Chapter 1488 Conquering the Empire (34)

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and the rumbling sound became louder and louder.

Zhou Xiang and Gouwa didn't dare to raise their heads, and their palms were covered with cold sweat. Seeing what the captain said so horribly, Zhou Xiang and Gouwa couldn't help but wonder if their choice was wrong.

And those captains pretended not to hear the sound of horseshoes at all, instead they concentrated on pushing the cart, and even occasionally stopped to pat their backs to stretch their waists, and wiped their sweat with their sleeves.

Suddenly, the booming sound stopped instantly. This strange contrast made Zhou Xiang subconsciously look up, and Zhou Xiang couldn't take his eyes off this look.

In the center of hundreds of sturdy knights in black and black armor, a beautiful woman in snow-white armor with a delicate appearance and a delicate figure was quietly riding on a white horse. Qiu Shui's eyes glanced over Zhou Xiang inadvertently.

Just at this moment, a feeling of satisfaction and regret mixed together, like seeing a flash in the pan, naturally appeared in Zhou Xiang's heart.

The cavalry stopped, and the dozen or so pretentious captains could no longer pretend. They all looked up, and then looked like they had just seen it, and then immediately stood at attention and saluted, and shouted: "See you, the commander-in-chief."

Seeing this posture, Zhou Xiang and Gouwa immediately knelt down on the ground, Gouwa put his head on the ground, and Zhou Xiang carefully peeked at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen looked at the appearances of the captains and the truck beside them, and said with a smile: "You guys, this fake is too fake, right? It's not really deaf to the front. Do you hear the hooves of the horses?"

When more than a dozen captains heard this, they all forced out smiles, extremely embarrassed.

Just when Zhou Xiang was intoxicated by Zhou Wen's inadvertent smile, a very magnetic voice woke him up: "It's not always the case. It seems that this person really contributed. What's your name?"

Zhou Xiang shifted his gaze and saw a black armored cavalryman beside the beauty pointing at his captain and asking.

When Zhou Xiang was surprised that this guy who was just an ordinary cavalryman had such a loud voice, he was even more surprised to see that after the cavalryman uttered his voice, all the dozen or so captains knelt down on their knees and kowtowed, and then lay on their backs. Shouted on the ground: "This subordinate pays homage to your lord, is your lord well?"

It was very respectful to hear the voice, but the strange thing was that there was a sense of joy, fear and nervousness in this respectful feeling.

Zhou Xiang, who was dumbfounded by the shock, kept his head up slightly, which made him see the knight frowned, and then waved his hands as if sighing: "I'm fine, get up!" Bar."

After the dozens of captains got up, they bowed their heads respectfully and stood with their hands tied, while the captain of Zhou Xiang came out and lowered his head, suppressing his excitement, and said: "The captain of the [-]th slave brigade, the first class A strong warrior of the lower rank——Nangongfeng, please refer to my lord."

"Nangongfeng? A member of the Nangong family?"

This knight mentioned a family that Zhou Xiang had never heard of, but seeing that this man, who was obviously a super big shot, was able to name this family, and the captain of his own family actually looked proud, which made Zhou Xiang understand that this was not a family. Ordinary family, I have never heard of it, but I have little knowledge.

The knight chatted with the captain for a few words, and praised him verbally. Only then did Zhou Xiang realize that it was because of himself and Gouwa that the big man misunderstood the captain.

How could Zhou Xiang and Gou Wa dare to defend themselves against this, are they not afraid of being eaten alive by the captain?At this time, Zhou Xiang didn't dare to peek at that beauty in white armor and white horse.

When the cavalryman left, he gave a few words of encouragement, and just these few words made the captains feel deeply honored and began to celebrate each other.

What's more important is that they started to blackmail Zhou Xiang's team leader, and the team leader not only didn't get angry, but complacently agreed.

Zhou Xiang, who returned to the construction site, was a little annoyed. Didn't he want to look for opportunities?How come you didn't even make a show when you finally met a big shot?
However, thinking that if he speaks indiscriminately, such a huge disparity in status may cause dissatisfaction with that big man, and he will definitely be strangled to death by the captain immediately.Alas, although it is said that they want an opportunity, if the person who gives this opportunity is too high-status, it may not be a good thing.

Zhou Xiang, who was thinking wildly, suddenly found that the slave soldiers around him looked at him with eyes red with jealousy. Although Zhou Xiang was a little confident in his own force, he also had confidence in the three stupid men under him, but he had no confidence. Can stop so many people!
Gou Wa saw that his boss was ignorant, so he couldn't help reminding: "Commander, just now the captain's personal soldiers came to announce that you performed well and can take on more burdens, and promoted you to be a small captain! "

Zhou Xiang blinked, didn't he, he just happened to make the captain look good, and he was promoted just like that?Too childish, right?

The big man just praised a few words verbally, how did the captain get so excited?

Or is it that the big man's status is frighteningly high, or that he is the highest officer, Lord Overseer? !

To Zhao Hu's old retainers, slave soldiers were nothing at all, worse than the civil defense team, and it didn't matter at all to appoint a small captain, so Zhou Xiang became the commander of 25 people because the captain was happy. Captain.

Since he was the first small captain in the brigade, and Zhou Xiang followed the big captain pushing the cart with a shameless face, everyone saw it, so Zhou Xiang's reputation for being good at finding opportunities immediately spread throughout the brigade.

When being celebrated by everyone, either sincerely, jealously or falsely, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but see the hazy figure of that beauty like a short-lived epiphyllum in his mind.

It is impossible for Zhao Hu to know what happened at the most basic level. After inspecting the progress of the trench, he nodded in satisfaction and said to Zhou Wen: "Now it depends on how many days we can block the Kate Cavalry Division, and we have to see Can you attract the cavalry divisions here?"

"Please rest assured, my lord, all officers will definitely complete the task of my lord." Of course Zhou Wen knew why Zhao Hu was so worried.

The reason why Zhao Hu is a little unconfident about fighting with such a large force is because none of his officers can disagree with his plan, and the great thing is to fill in the corners.It's not that the subordinates are afraid to mention it, but their knowledge limits them to come up with better plans.

It's not that Zhao Hu is willing to belittle the ability of his subordinates, just think about who the senior military officers under Zhao Hu are.

The two brothers Locke Luofei, who were born as official slaves, were just thugs before becoming official slaves. Now after years of training, they can finally command 1 people, but they only know simple tactics. Let them fight bigger battles. I'm so dizzy that I can't tell the difference between south, east and north!

As for Lao Dao and the others, they were small herdsmen on the grassland. What was great was that they brought thousands of cavalry to carry out sneak attacks. Compared with them, they were better at raising horses.

As for the other officers gathered in the southeast peninsula, not to mention, they are all generals with hundreds of soldiers, and there are very few generals with thousands of soldiers, so they cannot be reused at all.

As for Liu Ming, a real general, he is satisfied, but unfortunately he is good at commanding battleships, not the army, but the navy!
But now I am in urgent need of senior army officers.

Li Haoran?Regardless of his status as a newcomer, just thinking about his performance in commanding and attacking the city, you can know that he is only at the middle level.

On the contrary, the civil servants are full of talents, and the most experienced is Bikud, the former governor of the province. He is very good at government affairs, and there are not a few officials who are well-versed in other aspects.

The Qin family in the southeast peninsula alone has trained a large number of low-level officials for themselves.

On the side of the empire, ever since he erected the banner of the Warlord, a large number of literati living in seclusion in the countryside have poured in. Although many of these people can only be used as teachers, there are also many talented people with good abilities.

It can be said that as long as it is not a geometric development, there is no need to worry about civil affairs.

Could it be that there is no strategic deployment and no major battles without senior military officers?Of course it's impossible, the enemy won't give you time to develop.

Therefore, Zhao Hu had no choice but to formulate a campaign goal by himself, and then fill in the conditions required to complete the goal one by one, and then distributed these conditions to various departments, asking them to calculate how much time and cost it would take to complete such conditions. How much manpower and material resources.

When these materials are collected, let the officers discuss them, and finally send these tasks to them.

Since everyone knew their missions and what they should do after they were done, these ordinary officers could also accomplish Zhao Hu's goals very well.

It sounds complicated, but in fact, it is nothing more than expanding and complicating the program tasks originally released by the Qin family.

Seeing Zhao Hu pondering, Zhou Wen certainly understood what Zhao Hu was thinking, and he couldn't help saying: "My lord, I think that according to our current system, the enemy can be defeated even without famous generals. Don't all famous generals start from ordinary officers?" Did it come out of practice? Maybe after a few battles, we can raise a few famous generals in our army."

Hearing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then said with a big smile: "Haha, what you said is that all famous generals can only be cultivated after going through countless bloody battles. How many battles have we fought now? Are you just pursuing a famous general? It’s really wishful thinking! It’s fundamental to be down-to-earth!” Zhao Hu couldn’t help but sigh after talking about it.

"My lord, it stands to reason that there are enemies all around the empire. In the early stage of the civil strife in the empire, the surrounding countries directly dispatched large armies to take the opportunity to attack the border. How come these surrounding countries are still circling around the border areas when the civil strife is more intense now?" Zhou Wen asked.
