At night, around the densely packed tents, bonfires made of wood and large rocks illuminated the nearby area.
Near Su Xiao's camp, hundreds of large pots were filled with water, and the boiling water inside was boiling.
The soldiers were standing or sitting in the tents. They were all hungry at this time. There was no meal tonight. It was already dark, but their commander-in-chief forbade lighting a fire for cooking. As for having dinner in the nearby Anji City, that was all.
Don't think about it, they have just retreated from the front line, their pockets are much cleaner than their faces. This is not a metaphor, it is a fact.
The soldiers all had a stinky smell, which was the smell of blood and sweat mixed with several days of fermentation. If it weren't for the gray souls in their bodies, more than 95% of the soldiers would have died of wound infection.
The soldiers were stinking all over, hungry in their bellies, and the wounds on their bodies ached. This made the soldiers become irritable. Within half an hour, several people were fighting with each other. You know, fighting with each other in the army is a serious crime.
In the tent in the center, Su Xiao shook the test tube in his hand. When the solution inside turned dark green, he poured the solution into a metal bucket half a meter in diameter.
The potion is diluted, changing from dark green to emerald green, and then has to be diluted again.
"Caesar, find some soldiers and ask them to continue diluting these potions."
"no problem."
Caesar coughed lightly and called a few soldiers outside the camp. Caesar also knew alchemy, but he was only half-assed. He could instruct the soldiers to dilute the potion without any problem.
After a while, the boiling water in the hundreds of cauldrons outside the camp turned light green. Under the arrangements of Caesar, Os, and the two captains of guards, the soldiers lined up in rows, boiling water in each cauldron.
Wait in front of the pot.
What happened after that was simple. Each soldier had a large bowl of light green liquid. After they drank the liquid, their immediate commander took a list and divided the soldiers into two large queues. One of the queues,
Those whose families have already received gold coins, and the other queue are all singles.
Something happened that confused many singles. Their superior actually asked them to line up to receive gold coins. Each person received ranging from 20 to 30 gold coins.
In another queue, the soldiers received a series of somewhat crude approval documents, which included the names of their family members, the amount of salary received, etc. This made the soldiers both stunned and filled with joy, and they kept talking.
Two hours later, the soldiers' violent emotions were calmed down, but they were even hungrier. They were so hungry that they could eat a cow. What made them feel amazing was that the injuries on their bodies that had begun to numb and hurt all the time actually healed.
They no longer felt anything, but instead felt a sense of coolness and physical comfort, which made them even hungrier and made them swallow their saliva.
Wave after wave of gold coins were issued, and Su Xiao only had more than 30,000 gold coins left in his hand. When he arrived at the front line, it didn't matter how many gold coins he had in the first battle. As long as he could capture 'Segona City', there would be no shortage of gold coins in the future.
After this wave of money offensive, the soldiers began to look at Su Xiao differently. They were not stupid. They already knew that the somewhat unpleasant green soup was an extremely effective medicine.
Several large wooden boxes were placed in front of a group of soldiers. Su Xiao had already put on a black cloak, which was sewn from the fur of extraordinary creatures. The outer fluff was very soft, which could well resist the cold night in the desert.
Su Xiao walked up to the stacked wooden boxes, stepped on the highest wooden box, and slowly stepped down on the wooden box.
Wow~
Gold coins slid down the wooden box one by one, reflecting an attractive luster under the firelight.
"I will reward you with 1 gold shield each. Anyone who takes more will be killed without mercy."
The soldiers all raised their heads slightly and looked at Su Xiao. Su Xiao looked around below. Twenty thousand soldiers were a mighty mass. This feeling of being admired by thousands of people and listening to every word he said with bated breath made him feel uncomfortable.
Su Xiao knows why so many people are addicted to power.
"Assemble tomorrow morning. Those who have not assembled will be treated as defectors. You can go anywhere tonight."
"roar!!"
The cheers formed a roar, and the soldiers were all smiling.
"Commander! Commander! Commander!"
The soldiers cheered and shouted together, and raised their right arms into fists. No wonder they were so excited. With 1 gold coin each, they could eat, drink and have fun in the nearby Anji City. After eating,
What they most wanted to do was take a bath together. Usually that was a luxury, but not now.
Amidst the cheers, Su Xiao walked down using the wooden box as a step and returned to the camp. The night wind blew the bonfire, and the commander shouted for several minutes before stopping. The soldiers came in threes and fives and marched towards Anji City with a smile on their faces.
Go.
Su Xiao actually only did a few things. First, he paid for the settlement, hoping that the soldiers would work hard. At the very least, he wanted them to have no worries and their families would be well settled.
Second, treating the soldiers' injuries is the most effective way to win people's hearts. The physical pain directly affects each soldier. When the pain is erased, the soldiers will feel it most strongly.
Third, starve the soldiers until 9 o'clock in the evening, and then give each of them 1 gold coin and let them go to Anji City to eat meat, drink wine, and then take a bath together. After that, if the young man is unbearably lonely,
You can also find a wild man to vent your anger. The soldiers pinned their heads to their belts, which is understandable. They will have to march for several days.
More than 20,000 soldiers poured into Anji City. You can imagine the load it placed on restaurants, public baths, etc. The merchants in this city were both miserable and happy. There were too many soldiers, but these soldiers were really rich.
Throwing down hundreds of thousands of gold coins, not only made every soldier surrender, but also made them willing to sacrifice their lives for Su Xiao. After all, this is their duty.
Anji City soon became lively, and no soldiers dared to cause trouble. Previously, 36 soldiers grabbed a few more gold coins on the ground, and were executed directly by Su Xiao's order.
Simply giving benefits is not enough. You have to be respected by the soldiers. They should be respected first and feared behind. Soldiers are like a pack of wolves. If used well, they will cooperate with each other and tear out the throats of each enemy with their fangs. The wolf
This thing, once you don't restrain it enough, it will bite you back when it thinks you are not scary.
Su Xiao did not enter Anji City. He stayed in the camp belonging to the commander-in-chief. Outside the camp, two division chiefs guarded the left and right. As the division chiefs of the defeated army, the two did not know how to say nice words.
, just standing outside the camp, guarding their commander, Commander-in-Chief Kukulin Baiye.
In the camp, Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the small bed. The reason why he promised to capture the 'Segona City' within seven days was of course because he had a trump card, one of which was Apollo, and the other was the title of [War Lord].
