Military strength is always the basis for conquering the world.
If you want to dominate the world and conquer the world, you must have sufficient military strength.
Only in this way can you have the foundation to compete with other heroes!
Only after you conquer the world can you be qualified to "defend" the world!
Therefore, to conquer the world, it is particularly important to have sufficient military strength!
When Xi Zhicai said the answer, Xiao Wen had a smile on his face.
"Sir, that's what you said. So this time, I went into the mountains to prepare for the military."
"There are a lot of bandits in this mountain. If they can be conquered, they will be a considerable force. What do you think, sir?" Xiao Wen looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.
Xi Zhicai shook his head, with a particularly determined look on his face.
"Soldiers are more valuable than fine soldiers!"
"Although there are a lot of bandits, most of them are a mob and have not received systematic training. Such an army, even if it is pulled together, will still have great hidden dangers."
"It would be nice if we could win a big victory all the way during the battle. But if we encounter the slightest obstacle and morale declines, the entire army will fall apart."
"Moreover, bandits are not firm in character and can easily be instigated to rebel. Even if they are taken under their command, they dare not reuse them. In the end, they will only become constraints."
Xi Zhicai said that when he said these words, his tone was very serious, without any hint of joking.
Anyway, these bandits are unreliable, and even if they are recruited, it will be difficult to use them.
"If my lord wants to recruit these bandits, my subordinates will not agree!" Xi Zhicai said.
When he said these words, his attitude was extremely firm, and there was no room for relaxation.
Seeing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but chuckle, but he also knew that the reason why Xi Zhicai acted like this was entirely for his own sake.
According to Xi Zhicai, these bandits are indeed not suitable targets for subjugation.
But, there are exceptions to everything, right?
"Sir, what you said makes sense. However, what if these bandits have been trained and are the elite among the elite, and can even compete with the regular army of the imperial court without being at a disadvantage?" Xiao Wen nodded, and first confirmed his ambition.
Just as he said those words, he immediately asked another question.
When these words came out of Xiao Wen's mouth, Xi Zhicai immediately fell into deep thought.
Well-trained bandits?
And can it still compete with the regular army of the imperial court?
And, more importantly, when my lord said these words with certainty, he didn't look like he was joking at all.
In other words, do such bandits really exist in these mountains?
However, it would be too fanciful for the bandits to compete with the regular army, right?
One is trained and the other is a desperado. The difference between them is not the slightest bit.
unless……
Suddenly, an idea arose in Xi Zhicai's mind.
Just when he thought of this thing, Guo Jia on the side exclaimed and gave the answer: "Yellow Turban Army!"
The three words came out of Guo Jia's mouth, but the answer coincided with Xi Zhicai.
Although it is a little ridiculous and some can't believe it, if there is a bandit that can compete with the regular army, the only one is the Yellow Turban Army who was wiped out not long ago.
Since the last battle of Guangzong, the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao was killed, and the entire main force of the Yellow Turban Army was also killed one after another.
Only a small number of the Yellow Turbans fled.
However, this part of the Yellow Turban soldiers, without the restraint of Zhang Jiao, have completely deviated from the original intention of the creation of the Yellow Turban, running around and committing all kinds of evil. In order to survive, they even did not hesitate to burn, kill and loot villages, causing widespread resentment among the people.
In just half a year, the reputation of the Yellow Turbans was tarnished.
Although the imperial court sent troops to wipe out many of the Yellow Turban remnants in exile in various places, it is undeniable that there should be remnants of the Yellow Turbans on this land, but we just don't know where they are.
Now, Xiao Wen's words, coupled with Xi Zhicai's own conjecture, also made him think of the possibility of the Yellow Turban Army here.
Apart from the Yellow Turbans, he could not think of any other group of bandits that could possess such strength and be able to compete with the regular army of the imperial court.
"It seems that both gentlemen have already guessed it. Yes, the purpose of entering the mountain this time is for the Yellow Turban Army in the mountain."
"I have received news that there is an elite Yellow Turban army lurking in this mountain. There are nearly 10,000 combatable troops. If we can recruit them under our command, then our strength will be greatly improved in a short period of time.
Big improvement.”
"Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army hiding in the mountains can be another trump card for us! A trump card for domination in troubled times!" Xiao Wenyan said, turning to look at the mountains in the distance.
, a blazing divine light appeared in his eyes, but he seemed to be eager to rush in right now.
However, when Xiao Wen said these words, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and even Dian Wei, who had just returned, fell silent. They stood there and stared at Xiao Wen blankly, but did not speak for a long time.
.
I……
What did I just hear?
The opponent has nearly 10,000 combatable troops?
Moreover, they are all elite troops among the Yellow Turbans?
What about us?
Just over a hundred points...
Does the Lord want to use one hundred of his own men to kill the opponent's nearly ten thousand men?
this……
Isn't this a little too crazy?
Thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, and when they looked at Xiao Wen again, there was already a somewhat suspicious look in their eyes.
"My lord, are we being exaggerated?"
"After all, there are nearly ten thousand people on the other side! There are only a hundred of us here. If a fight breaks out, I can only protect you." Dian Wei scratched his head and said sheepishly.
Hearing Dian Wei's words, Xiao Wen couldn't help but chuckle. He couldn't see the worries in these people's hearts.
"Sir, General. As the saying goes, attack the city first and attack the heart first. Since we want to recruit those Yellow Turbans, we naturally won't use the rude method of pushing horizontally."
"We are all civilized people, let's just reason with him! As long as Haosheng talks a little, I think those temporary Yellow Turban leaders will be willing to join." Xiao Wen said seriously.
The three of them heard this, but none of them answered. They just looked at Xiao Wen with even more worry.
Reasonable?
If someone else had gone, maybe it could have been done.
But my lord, you...
Forget it!
You are now the number one enemy of the Yellow Turbans.
When those guys saw you, I'm afraid they rushed up to you with knives and shouted to avenge Zhang Jiao before you could say anything.
"My lord, how about I send a message to Meng Qi and Zilong and ask them to come with their cavalry and infantry to support them?" Dian Wei asked again.
The corners of Xiao Wen's mouth twitched and he stared at Dian Wei: "General, you don't believe me."
"I...I...I believe it! But...this..."
Dian Wei hesitated, but couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
"Following filial piety but not talent, I am willing to open the way for the Lord and send my greetings!"
