"Don't fight, don't fight, we surrender."

Looking at the Earl of Dhaka who lost his face in a daze, Li Xiuning didn't know what to do for a moment.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 7 Where did she get so many people

Snow, the pure white snow is slowly falling in the air. This is not the first snow since the beginning of winter, but it is the first snow since he went out. The ground is not yet white, but it still makes him feel a chill out of the body.

Looking at the Fort Polidna from a distance, his enemies are there, as long as he defeats the enemies there, he will regain his territory.Even, his future territory will be far larger than before.

"Shirley, I will let you taste the pain of defeat, and I will impose all the suffering I have suffered before on you."

Holding tightly the snowflakes that melted in his hands, he will take the lead in the charge in this battle, and he will never leave his troops behind and run away first as before.

The three armies marched side by side, and they had all arrived in front of Fort Polidna at this time. It was different from what they thought. At this time, the defenders of Fort Polidna were quietly waiting for their attack in front of the city gate. arrival.

The female general in silver armor immediately stood in front of the formation with a horizontal spear, and without saying a word, a depressing aura rushed over her face.

"The one in front is General Zhao Yun."

A knight in heavy armor came to the front of the two armies on horseback. The lance in his hand was much longer than that of ordinary generals. It was obviously for the purpose of having a certain length advantage when charging.

However, Zhao Yun didn't even care about this general, he just pulled the reins, and the white horse moved forward slowly, as if he didn't care about the tens of thousands of troops in front of him.

"General Zhao Yun, our Lord Earl appreciates your strength very much. As long as you submit to us, we can give you..."

"Shut up, I, Zhao Yun, am I a betrayer, today is just a fight."

Pointing the spear obliquely, he shouted loudly, "Zhao Yun is here, how dare you fight me."

In front of the two armies, there was a loud shout. No one felt that the female general on the white horse was overconfident. Even the enemy, facing this female general, did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to defeat her.

"Why, dare to invade my territory, but dare not fight with me. In a majestic principality, no man dares to go forward to fight?"

dare?Don't dare, who doesn't know the record of this general, who can overwhelm orcs and chase and kill them alone, whoever thinks their lives are hard can go up and send a wave, anyway, they don't think their lives are too long.

Not to mention the generals of the Earldom, even Earl Theodos, who hated Shirley and her party to the bone, was so angry that he still didn't dare to let anyone come forward to fight this female general.

"Zhao Yun, don't think that one person's bravery can determine the disadvantages of the battlefield. Today I will let you know that you alone cannot turn the tide, let alone change Earl Shirley's fate of failure."

Theodos knew that it was impossible for someone to fight Zhao Yun one-on-one, and even if there was, he couldn't let him go, so he immediately ordered his troops to start a group attack.

"My lords, the enemy is right in front of us. Let's kill the enemy together. One silver coin will be rewarded for killing one enemy. The first one to break into the fortress will receive one hundred bonus coins and be made a knight. Kill..."

For mercenaries, is there anything more tempting than money and titles? At this time, the mercenaries who don't know much about Shirley's troops let out excited roars to attack the enemy. In his eyes, the enemy was no longer someone, but gold coins shining with golden light.

"Haha, General Zhao Yun is exhausted, we can't just sit idle, old brother, if we come here once, we can't lose the name of His Highness. Detachment Army, charge with me."

Before the central army moved, the Women's Army on both wings had already taken the lead in charging. On the one hand, it was a temporary army composed of ordinary people; on the other hand, it was an elite regiment armed to the teeth; The elite of all battles.

The two armies were here, colliding with each other, and the death and shouts of killing came one after another. Seeing this, Zhao Yun naturally did not wait any longer, and waved his spear in his hand.

"The enemy is right in front of you, and you and I will fight together."

The white horse took the lead, and then the infantry regiment of the Back Wei Army charged towards the still hesitating enemy.

The fight started as soon as there was a disagreement. Theodos's first charge really exceeded the expectations of the other two groups, but now, facing the enemy's Jin Mansion, they also had to start to charge passively.

However, most of their troops are temporary troops formed by the citizens of the Earl's Land. Under normal circumstances, their combat effectiveness is still acceptable, but when facing such an elite army, it is really not enough.

If Theodos could persist because he had a large number of mercenaries, the other two groups were really defeated. Facing the wolf-like Aalborg troops, they could not form any favorable situation at all. The defense can even be said to be collapsed at the touch of a button.

Especially in the middle, Zhao Yun took the lead, stabbing swords and slashing along the way. No one could stop his progress. After a while, he rushed out of the enemy's formation alone, and then had to rush back again.

"You bastard, is this only 1 people? Is this it? What did Theodos say at the beginning, Aalborg's troops were only 1 people, and we have 1 people. Is this [-] people?" ?”

After escaping an enemy soldier's attack, a knight of the earldom under the Duchy of Friedland was already furious. The number of enemies was almost the same as them. At the moment of the battle, they realized that they had no Quantitative advantage.

As for Theodos, let alone, when she was defeated by Shirley, the other party obviously only had ten thousand soldiers, how long did it take for her to have so many more elite troops, moreover, there was no cavalry Show up, wait, no cavalry.

A thunderous vibration suddenly came from behind, he didn't think it was his reinforcements, just as he thought, it was the hundreds of heavy cavalry from the Beiwei Army who had been hiding all this time coming from behind.

The leader was Yue Yun, the commander of the Beiwei army, and the target of their charge was also the left army who was still able to persist.

"Ahhh...why are we going to lose again? Back then I attacked Aalborg with all my troops, but I lost. Now, I brought several counties' troops to attack again, and I lost again. This snow What kind of ability does Li have to have so many troops. I am not reconciled..."

A voice of strong unwillingness came out of Theodos' mouth, but he understood that he could not die, at least not now, just like before, he just walked away without waiting for his subordinate troops .

Seeing a large number of heavy cavalry appearing from the enemy's back, the other two troops also knew that they could not fight. They did not bring much cavalry. No matter which earldom it was, there would not be many cavalry on hand.Naturally, he would not put his most elite troops in for others.

The only left army with cavalry has been surrounded and strangled by the enemy at this time, how can it be fought, and what crushes their last hope is the flag of the Aalborg army appearing behind them again.The moment those infantrymen wearing light armor and holding long guns appeared, the other two groups also understood that they couldn't fight.If they persist here, it is estimated that none of them can escape.Let yourself be captured as a prisoner for an outsider?Don't even think about it.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 8 Hit, Hit, Hit a P

The army was defeated, and Theodos who fled looked back at his troops. After he left, he immediately lost his fighting spirit. , of course, will not continue to fight.

Defeated, defeated again, looking at the defeated army everywhere, the once high-spirited, now it seems like a joke, who is the little girl in Aalborg, and how come so many elite troops work for her.

"If, if I have such a troop, it will definitely be stronger than that woman."

"Theodos is ahead, grab him."

A cavalryman who couldn't see his face came on horseback, followed by dozens of soldiers to hide and kill him. Now is not the time for him to sigh. Theodos feels that he is a tragedy.To be beaten by a little girl who is not yet an adult.

Fleeing to the south in a panic, Theodos finally escaped from the opponent's pursuit. There was no way, because there were too many defeated soldiers, and he would become an obstacle between the two sides. In the end, under the resistance of the defeated soldiers, he finally escaped to ascend to heaven , into the territory of several counts in the south.

At this time, he had completely lost the vigor he had before, and wasted all his energy while running away in embarrassment. Frustration, exhaustion, fear, and worry lingered in his heart.

"Theodos, it's you, you scum, who actually led us to such a big defeat. Since the founding of the Principality of Friedland, when has our Principality suffered such a disastrous defeat. You... you are fully responsible. "

If he hadn't vowed that the enemy had only [-] troops, why would they have suffered such a miserable defeat? Now that a large number of troops have been captured by the enemy, according to the regulations, those mercenaries can be redeemed, but those conscripts will become Enemy serfs.

In this way, not only did he not take any advantage on his own side, but he gave part of the labor force in the territory to the other party, which would be a great loss for the upcoming spring plowing.

"I'm going to kill you."

"I can't beat Shirley, and I can't beat you? Hit me? Come if you have the ability. I'll see if you have the ability to murder an earl here."

Well, they didn't dare, although they were clamoring loudly, but they really didn't dare to murder a nobleman lightly. The connections behind.

Even the little lord of Aalborg could not be easily killed after becoming an earl, mainly because of the connections behind these earls.

Well, the little earl didn't have any connections, and their family hadn't been earl for a long time, but even so, nobles are still nobles, and some bottom lines cannot be broken.And this Earl Theodos is one of the best.

It has been operating in the northern border for several generations. It can be said that many women in the family have married or other children in the family have gone to other earldoms to become knights.

This intricate relationship is not something ordinary people can understand. If you really want to kill him, you will be retaliated by the relationship behind this person.Not to mention them, even ordinary nobles would not dare.

"Okay, everyone feels bad about being defeated, but we just go back like this? Isn't it a bit..."

There is something, everyone understands, but what else can be done, although the speaker is kind, but it sounds so awkward.

"If we don't go back, we will continue to fight with them? That group, yes, that group can still be considered human? Have you ever seen an attacking enemy screaming with weapons? Or have you seen a few people lined up in a strange formation and then A troop with more than a dozen people hammering it?"

"That's right, still fight, fight, fight a P, I don't care about others, anyway, I won't continue, the lord doesn't have many people for me, and there are not many troops in our territory, I can't continue to waste on such In a battle that can never be won."

Gathering the defeated soldiers, they each counted them. Looking at the remaining pitiful troops, their biggest problem now is how to explain to the lord.As for this Theodos, ah, who cares if he lives or dies.

Looking at Fort Polidna in the distance, he turned his head, and then looked at his Earl of Ordos, his eyes filled with tears.This battle can be regarded as wiping out all his previous family assets, and the remaining ones are at most enough for his future life.

"Xue Li, don't think I'll just leave it at that. Even if you arrive in the imperial capital, I will fill in some obstacles for you. It will soon be the time when the earls from all over the world will report to the imperial capital. Let me see if there are still so many of you at that time." The troops can be brought."

Shirley, who was far away in Aalborg, sneezed suddenly, because Zhao Yun went to Polidnaburg, so the course she was supposed to learn spear skills with Zhao Yun was cut off.However, He Fuya's lessons of etiquette have not stopped.

"Miss, is the room still a bit cold, why are you sneezing?"

While helping Shirley put on a coat, she signaled for someone to add more dry wood to the stove in the room.

"You don't need to be so troublesome. I don't have a cold, but just now I don't know why I suddenly want to sneeze. I'm not prepared."

Just about to rub her nose habitually, her maid grabbed her little hand.Seeing her slightly stern expression, and the movement of wiping her nose with a handkerchief, Shirley could only smile embarrassingly.

"Miss, I've told you many times that being outside is no better than being at home. You can do whatever you want. Nobles have their own set of etiquettes. I hope you can study them carefully, instead of just listening to things that have nothing to do with you."

"Well, I know, I will study hard, I will, believe me."

"Well, I really believe in Miss, so, Miss, if you want to meet His Majesty, do you need a chest salute or a loyalty salute by kneeling on one knee?"

"Ah? Of course it's a homage to kneeling on one knee. Do I need to ask?" Seeing Fuya's increasingly cold face, Shirley replied immediately.

"I made a mistake just now, it's a boob salute, you don't need to kneel down..." Under Fuya's stern eyes.Shirley, who became more and more emboldened, could only stuff the rest of the words back into her mouth in the end.

"Miss, to meet His Majesty, you need an audience ceremony specially for nobles. You don't need to touch your chest or kneel down on one knee for allegiance."

"Eh? Sister Fuya, you are fishing, you are doing it on purpose, how can you play like this."

The staring almond eyes are full of disbelief, both choices are wrong, and it is too much to be able to play like this.

However, this cute appearance did not bring any pressure to the other party, instead Fuya couldn't help but burst out laughing.Just as he was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 9 Invitation from Imperial Capital (two chapters published together)

Another letter, no, it should be two. Fuya received two different letters from the maid who came in. One is more formal, and it looks like the kind of letter specially used by government departments. It should be more casual, especially Juanxiu's signature on the letter, which tells her the identity of the sender.

"This letter is from the noble hall of the imperial capital. Our independent lords outside will go to the imperial capital for a report every three years. Because of the weather in our northern border, we usually go to the imperial capital in spring. At that time, a large number of nobles will go to the imperial capital. Concentrating there, it can be said that the imperial capital at that time was also a good time for various nobles to marry."

"Huh? Marriage?" Shirley widened her eyes and looked at Fuya with a gossipy face. Political marriages are often seen in novels. Would the nobles arrange a beautiful woman for themselves? What about the noble lady?

"Well, sister Fuya, let me ask, really ask, is it possible, is it possible, someone arranged for the countess to marry a woman. Yes... hey, sister Fuya, where are you going? .”

"I'm going to see if the doctor is in the castle. Although some are free, I still suggest you go and see the doctor."

With her mouth pursed, Shirley naturally understood what Fuya meant. Sitting there, she looked like I was angry and couldn't be coaxed well, and then she listened to Fuya's words.

"Originally, the lord wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the imperial capital to arrange a good marriage for the young lady, but in the end... hey..."

This has a lot of meaning, Shirley could hear some of it consciously, and secretly glanced at Fuya with her small eyes, waiting for her to comfort herself, only to hear her say it again.

"I don't know if Her Highness the Princess will arrange for the young lady. After all, she has always looked after you for my younger sister. It is not impossible for my older sister to help my younger sister find a good marriage."

"Hey, who is looking for those men? I'm the earl. Well, when there is a man, is he the earl or am I the earl?"

Not to mention whether I really want it or not, but just to talk about the issue of the title. Isn’t that what Tachibana Chiyo was like at the beginning? She who originally inherited the family governor, after marrying Tachibana Muneshige, didn’t the position of the family governor belong to Tachibana Zongshige.Of course, I don’t say how Tachibana Muneshige is, but when I look at the history of Tachibana Chiyo, or when I introduce it, I just don’t understand.

"That said, it seems to make sense."

"Does that make sense? That's very reasonable. That's why you don't want to find a man to come here to make trouble. You may not know what will happen in the future. The boat will go straight to the bridge, and the car will have a road before the mountain. It takes care of so many things." do what."

Hearing what her lord said, Fuya didn't really relax. My lady doesn't know her situation, but she knows it too well.

Among the many earls in the northern border, her strength has reached the peak. Five independent earldoms have been connected together, with salt as an economic product, and a naval strength that even the orcs cannot match.As soon as she arrives in the imperial capital, she will definitely be noticed by various forces.

But my young lady, not to mention the political wisdom needed among all the old foxes, she can't even do the basic etiquette well.What to do.

Moreover, the current situation in the imperial capital is very complicated. The battle for the throne between the first prince and the second prince has reached a fever pitch, and it is only a matter of a real fight. The appearance of the young lady at this time is likely to attract them both. .Will she really be able to handle it by then?

"Huh? It's just such a dry sentence when I co-authored it. I thought they invited me back to the emperor to be a long story, but it turned out to be this sentence."

Taking the letter from Fuya, and glancing at the message on it, her originally expectant expression instantly collapsed.It really said dryly on it, "The lord of Aalborg, Count Shirley Ling Phoenix, will return to the imperial capital to report on her duties when the flowers bloom."

Except for the fact that the writing when the flowers bloomed gave her a little comfort, the others were clearly not paying attention to her, and she did not believe that other lords also wrote in the same way.

"This is a letter from the government. It is usually so concise and to the point, and it is already good. There is no specific time, and it is also a kind of respect for you. The previous letter was basically a few months and a few days to report to the imperial capital. That's it. of."

"Huh? Is this still respecting me? That's it?"

Fuya was silent for a moment and then said, "Not at all, this is half respect, after all, you are still fighting with the counts of the Duchy of Friedland, if you win, you may be more polite, if you lose, they can say You are just a child, so I have thought about the words a little bit."

this. . .Can such a letter be so swaying?Holding the letter with only one sentence, Shirley suddenly felt a lot of pressure.A letter can have so many twists and turns.

"What's the matter? The nobles in the imperial capital don't know much, but they have learned a lot of this language technology."

"Well, dealing with them must be very tiring, but it's a pity that Mr. Kong Ming can't be allowed to follow me. It's okay to leave me here, but it's a bit difficult to leave Mr. Kong Ming."

Shirley, who has a very high level of awareness of her governance level, does not think she is a lord who can manage such a large territory well. She can provide technology, seeds, and some advanced ideas.

But let her go to the details, forget it, don't talk about time travel, you can do everything, if the governance of a city is so simple, then everyone can be the mayor.

This is not in the game, you can click with the mouse, and then press a few times on the keyboard, you can get most of the things done, the city is full of real people, each of them has their own ideas, their own thinking, They have good guys in red, bad guys in black, and naturally gray indistinguishable guys.

Good or bad, it's simple, and those people in the middle, those are the biggest existences, these people have to eat, sleep, and work, maybe you don't need to pay attention to these, but once there is a problem, it is a thing that will let you Headaches.

Daily necessities, basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation are all aspects that a leader should think about. Some people may think that ordinary people can solve these problems by themselves, but there are also market development, farmland reclamation, water conservancy construction, and road expansion.These don't require her to make decisions.

Not everyone, like Zhuge Liang, can solve everything perfectly by himself without having to worry about being the protagonist.Most of the people are ordinary people, and it is not bad to be able to give you a plan for your reference.

At this time, you still have to make your own decisions, and you are still in charge at that time.Therefore, what Shirley is most grateful for now is that she summoned Prime Minister Zhuge at the most difficult time. With him, a wise man through the ages, she was relieved too much.

"Indeed, Mr. Kong Ming is indeed a rare talent. Up to now, the entire management system established by him is still in operation, and you don't need to do too much. But miss, you are not afraid of that Zhuge Liang Are you empty?"
