prince of europe in quintiles

Thinking like this, Huo Teng mobilized all his knight strength, and more than 600 knights who could still go on a winter expedition gathered around him, looking at the forest where crows were flying in the distance.

"Kill a few horses and cook a cauldron beside the Leina River. I want to see how many beastmen will cross the river." Huo Tengyao pointed forward.

Although the expedition was a waste of food and did not make any money, and the beastmen could not be sold into slaves, Huo Teng felt as if he understood how to fight nomads.

Lure them for profit, drive them away for harm; divide and rule, gather and annihilate them.

Use the meat pot as a temptation, and use the cavalry army to drive them in the direction you want.Divide them on the Great Plains of Kassel, and then find a way to slowly gather together and annihilate them.

When the scent wafted to the opposite forest, when many dog-like beasts came out to test it, Huo Teng accidentally discovered that the white female centaur chief he had liked at first sight was actually among the tide of beastmen.

He touched the [Nose Ring Lock] in his pocket.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Beastman army flocked to the river, and their eyes turned red when they found a pot of boiling venison.

On this cold winter day, the Beastmen, like many nomadic tribes, have experienced severe climate attrition.History books record that nomads are often half dead every winter. The records are exaggerated, but they are not without reason.

The female centaur that Huo Teng has been paying attention to, her tribe has lost more than ten bad horned beasts after dozens of miles of migration.There is no need to worry about the corpse, the other beastmen will help digest it.

The fragrance pervading everywhere in front of them led the beastmen to run around, causing their number to dwindle rapidly.

This is Huo Teng's strategy of exhausting troops.

Beastmen who lack the ability to keep out the cold and do not have much IQ, most of them don't have the ability to think about where the venison pot comes from.They may follow a few priests and claim that it is a gift from the gods.

Sure enough, the Beastmen soon began to fight among themselves by the river, wanting to throw other tribesmen around them into the pot to compete for this pot of delicious food.

Huo Teng really wanted to thank his cooks for the tactics of differentiation. It was the fragrant meat pot they cooked that caused the Beastmen to have many internal strife.

Huo Teng drew out his sword and shouted: "Animals have an instinct, that is, when there are too many competitors around them, they will give priority to killing their own companions and reduce the number of competitors. The sons and daughters of eagles will kill each other, and cuckoos will kill each other. Eggs are pushed out of the nest, and tigers will never swarm unless there is enough meat. I don't believe it. When the beastmen are fighting for the meat pot, are they united? The knights are ready to form an formation, and we charge together to disperse these hungry beasts , let them roll back between the mountains and the forest."

Beastmen only have combat effectiveness when they gather in numbers and undergo a qualitative change, such as when they conquer Castle Castle.With the uneven distribution of spoils and the decline of appeal, they will soon divide and fight like nomads.

Huo Teng didn't want to completely solve the Beastmen, he just asked them to get out of here quickly, and stop squeezing Huo Teng's frantically reduced wallet this year.

At this time, the infantry lined up on the left and right sides also began to compress left and right, making a hunting posture.

Standing in the middle of the cavaliers, the widow Amelia took a deep breath and looked at Huo Teng with a slightly reverent expression.

This little uncle is too powerful.

Since announcing the rescue, Huo Teng has been trying to avoid damage to the army, and has not even fought any large-scale battles, so that the morale of the knights and soldiers has remained relatively stable.Despite this, the terrifying monsters that destroyed Castle Castle were still pulled by Huo Teng's tactics and began to disperse and split apart, turning into groups of small tribes. Some were driven eastward by Huo Teng, and some hid to harm the village. Wild, after all, it makes the road safe.

There is still a long way to go before the country of Kassel is fully recovered, but Huo Teng really worked extremely hard to make the country of Kassel belong to the Bowenden family in name.

Such a young man, such a great achievement, it is hard not to remind people of Otto the Great, right?

"Rush rush!"

Huo Teng raised the signal, drove the horses and carried him to a fast gallop.The Göttingen knights also hit their horses and galloped.

Suddenly, the pot collapsed, the meat was spilled, the soup was gone, and the Beastman tribe fled in a hurry.They didn't know who was coming, but listening to the rumbling hooves, they should also know that these hoof monsters without mounts couldn't beat knights on the plain.

The chaotic Beastmen trampled on each other, killed each other, and then scattered and rushed into the mountains on the east side.

They will multiply and thrive there, and next year they will bring their compatriots several times larger than themselves down the mountain again to give Huo Teng a head-on blow.

But Huo Teng didn't have the ability to cut the grass and roots, so he had to make do with it.

However, when they were about to approach the river and confront the Beastmen head-on, Huo Teng suddenly blew his whistle, and the army immediately stopped their horses, turned around, gave up and continued to charge and fight.

The knights showed their increasingly proficient horse skills, which seemed to be a vivid expression. When fighting a strong enemy, they will become stronger and stronger, and fighting the weak will only become weaker and weaker.

The Beastmen were on the verge of retreating. Huo Teng watched them flee, but had no choice but to let the flag bearer put down the flag.

Let's stop here, I really don't have any more appetite to swallow the land other than Kassel County and the small town of Eschwege.Disperse the Beastmen this year, and destroy them next year if you have the ability, and continue to disperse them if you cannot.

Life is not perfect...

Thinking like this, Huo Teng accidentally noticed a centaur laying down in the grass in the wilderness, trying to stand up. She has beautiful platinum fur, a strong and sexy body, and her shrinking hind hoofs seem to prove that she is very unlucky The thigh of a horse stabbed by whose horns.

"Catch her! Hold her down! Don't let her run away!"

When Huo Teng saw her, his joy instantly overwhelmed his sadness.

At this moment, life is fucking perfect, there is no need for so much sentimentality, just grab this centaur.

Huo Teng, who rushed forward in a hurry, even forgot that he had a fractured arm. He grinned in pain when he touched it, but he hugged the female centaur's neck tightly and forced her to put on the collar. Raw tiger and leopard.

Huo Teng likes it, but do other knights dislike horses?

All the knights and even the infantry frantically surrounded him, longing for a world-renowned horse as a mount.

But Huo Teng, who was surrounded in the center, was still hesitating with his nose ring. Should he put a nose ring on the centaur?Although it is relatively easy to control, it seems to torture the fighting spirit of the horse.

Amelia, who was chasing up from behind, saw Huo Teng's posture, and couldn't help but feel sour on her forehead.

A mere monster, are you more curious than seeing a woman?

Why didn't I see you so active at night?

……

Huo Teng was now riding a batch of ordinary war horses, worth sixteen and a half 3.8-gram monastery-produced low-quality gold coins.The large monasteries that can obtain the right to mint coins are all large and powerful towns in the region. They have their own moneysmiths, and they are knocked out with hammers.At this time, a good sword is worth about 1-3 gold, a pair of helmets is almost equivalent, and a male slave fluctuates from a few gold to twenty or thirty gold depending on the place.

According to the general principle, Huo Teng can find a gold and silver mine, call a group of experienced blacksmiths, build his own mint workshop according to the clever ideas that travelers often have, and then use more exquisite gold and silver coins to harvest seigniorage , and then gathered a large fortune.

But unfortunately, this method doesn't work in Huo Teng's place.

No, there are four problems.

The first is that the current imperial power laws of the Romanian Empire (Germany) have not completely collapsed, and the dignitaries across the country are still afraid of the relatively centralized imperial power established by the Otto family on their shoulders.After all, most of their ancestors were old subjects and relatives who followed Otto the Great to conquer the world.

Seigniorage, a money-losing thing, is still present along with the mintage right.Not to mention whether Huo Teng can get the right to mint coins, even if he does, then every time a gold coin is minted, one gold coin must be handed over to the emperor, which is enough to wipe out Huo Teng and make Huo Teng Teng couldn't eat and walked around.

Secondly, Huo Teng couldn't handle the handicraft guild.At this time, although the right to mint coins was controlled by power, the only ones who minted coins were craftsmen.Craftsmen formed handicraft guilds in the city, and Huo Teng had to use all his strength to convince them, even to get such a group of people.

And in the end, minting coins requires a time and space background.

The ability to gain revenue from minting is the underlying motivation for minting.However, as far as the current situation is concerned, first of all, economic activities have not expanded enough to allow Huo Teng to bear the extremely high seigniorage tax and take risks to mint new currencies.This mainly means that there is no such power near Göttingen.Everyone is poor and suffering haha.

Secondly, in a few decades, with the successive weakening of the Otto family and the Salian family, the royal power of Germany will also continue to collapse. At that time, local autonomy will be almost lawless, and local rulers will issue coins When the inferior currency frantically crowds out the market, it is the time for the high-quality currency to come out and sweep away these rubbish.

The reason why the minting was discussed was that Huo Teng wanted to sell horses for money, but also because Huo Teng ransacked the treasury and granary and found that he could no longer waste money.

Since receiving new grain in autumn, Huo Teng has been fighting and spending.The incidental swallowing of the town of Eschwege this time made him finally dare not make any big moves.

If he continued to move, Xia Tian would have to tighten his belt and wait for the autumn food to save his life.

The time traveler beat himself to bankruptcy, that is really unprecedented and unprecedented.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Castle Castle (destroyed).

Town of Eschwege (dilapidated).

After Huo Teng fought, he received two places like this.Among them, Castle Castle, the most important, is currently in a state where only the foundation is left. Although the town of Eschwege can still function, it is limited to self-protection, and after all, the legal principles are not complete, so it has to be a self-proclaimed guardian.

Going home along the Leiner River, Huo Teng encouraged his subjects: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. The Earl of Göttingen is growing day by day, and our territory will reach 10 people. We have several prosperous towns and Fortify the fortress and hold on for another two years. During these two years, we conquered the mountains of the Harz Mountains, took control of the northern gate Northheim, acquired the County of Kassel in the southwest, and incidentally held the king's place in the southeast. Eschweger, we have achieved a comprehensive victory after attacking from all sides, and Jeffrey has been named Viscount Harz Mountain, let's all be more excited, the future can be expected!"

In addition to being tired, the knights who followed Huo Teng to fight for several months also had more expectations.

In order to comfort them, Huo Teng violated his promise to entrust a group of new feudal knights on the deserted land of the Earl of Kassel.

This is also a last resort.

Although there is still more room for development in the Göttingen area, under the temptation of the fertile land and plains, the knights must be more willing to settle in more fertile places and build fiefdoms.Moreover, Huo Teng can only recruit knights for 45 days a year, and the overdue recruitment will have to pay salaries. If you want to establish a stable rule in Kassel County, let your knights go there to gather refugees and build a fortress. Castle is the most economical money scheme.

These guys will patrol every day 365 days a year for their fief, fighting those beastmen to the end.

But other than that, Huo Teng couldn't let the knights in the territory lose too much.Therefore, after careful consideration, Huo Teng decided to disband the six teams of retinue knights he had recruited, and let these young people who failed to obtain fiefs get some fiefs in the Kassel area.

There is no doubt about their loyalty to Huo Teng, and their long combat experience cannot be underestimated.

In the face of Kassel's difficulties, Huo Teng would never let them leave him.According to Conoza's plan, a knight community should be established in Göttingen to give them a safer and better living environment.Organize a powerful Inner Palace Knights to defend the rule of the Göttingen family.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. More than half of the Cassel nobles died, and most of them went to heaven with their families in the Beastmen disaster.

Currently gathering in Fulda-Minden, those nobles who managed to escape were already glaring at each other for dividing the fiefs in the safe zone, making Viscount Oster wish to commit suicide by jumping into the river.They feared the might of the Beastmen, and dreamed only of the roar of these hoofed monsters.

So even though they knew that Huo Teng had killed a large group of Beastmen, they did not dare to return to their hometown.

Taking advantage of this window period, Huo Teng must quickly send out the knights he gathered, and let them lead the refugees that Göttingen cannot accommodate, and fight back to regain their hometown.Not only the knights, Huo Teng had to dismiss some wounded and ambitious soldiers, thus training the refugees, using simple weapons to fight against a small group of beastmen.Try to restore order as much as possible.

"Cruel."

Thinking of this, Huo Teng sighed with emotion.

The refugees in Kassel had to die many times in this winter to survive the winter.And next year's spring plowing, I don't know how much money I need to prepare to arrange food rations for them until autumn.

3000 people? 5000 people?

The price of peace is too cruel.

"Boss, are you still thinking about the mare?" Karon couldn't help teasing seeing Huo Teng in a trance.

Hearing this, Jeffrey also looked back at the female centaur who was silently lying on her side on the cart with her hands and feet tied up. This guy has looked very depressed and beautiful since he was captured. The coat color is slightly darker.In order to prevent her from escaping, Huo Teng could only order the soldiers to tie her hands and feet to prevent her from escaping.

The nose ring collar obtained before is a prop that helps Huo Teng domesticate, Huo Teng only tied the collar on her body, but did not put a nose ring on her.

The war horse that moved like a dragon was restrained with a nose ring, and was forced to walk like an ox and a donkey. Huo Teng felt that this horse was not suitable for him, so after a long period of struggle, he gave up.

"I still don't want to eat, I only drank some water." Adlaib said with emotion, "Can you find a way to ask Bernard for a beast trainer and give her a lesson?"

"I'm not even willing to use a nose ring. You still want me to give her a whip?" Huo Teng scolded with a smile, shaking his head and rejecting the suggestion.

Really hope to get a horse giant beast.

But if Huo Teng is like Cao Cao, destroying what he can't get, it is really difficult to do so.Moreover, Prime Minister Cao also had an example of Guan Yu riding solo for thousands of miles. If the truth is not obtained, it will be destroyed. It must be the most classic of the first emperor killing Han Fei.

Huo Teng felt that he was probably sick.

The first sight of this centaur fell in love with her. She had a half-human shape anyway, and felt sorry for her using Wu Zetian's cruel methods of whip, hammer and nails.

Occasionally Huo Teng even thought, let it go.

The twisted melon is not sweet.

Try again.

Holding the bread and walking to the side of the cart, Huo Teng stretched out his hand, smoothed her hair with a brush, and chattered, "You just obey me, I will give you everything. There is also forage and concentrated feed. I want to eat it." Meat is also given to you, and a servant is specially arranged for you..."

The centaur didn't seem to understand, and the forehead with the small horns was crooked.

After brushing his hair, Huo Teng sat down hoping to add another step to his relationship with her. He grabbed her hand and widened his eyes earnestly: "Can you understand what I said? I..."

boom!

The centaur suddenly jumped up, and a head hammer knocked Huo Teng over from the car.

The marching team was in chaos for a while, and the knights hurriedly helped Huo Teng, who was begging for a mount, or even a mate.

"Boss, it turns out that the Beastman cannot be tamed. Either ask Bernard for a beast trainer, or kill him!" the great swordsman Karon couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that Huo Teng's going on like this was pure madness.

He even grabbed a spear, ready to stab the Beastman with the infantry.

Surrounding her soldiers and spears, the female centaur certainly knew that they were powerful.So he kept trembling and twisting, roaring and neighing on the cart.

"No, no need." Huo Teng stopped them, "I have one last plan."

Getting along with animals, forcing animals to accept that they are not successful will cause hatred, it is better to just let go, which will win some goodwill.

Huo Teng is now starting to consider tactics of emotional gain.

That is to pretend to let go, but actually hope to win her affection through superficial generosity, and then make her stay voluntarily.

Generally speaking, this kind of tactic is often used as the last tactic to restore the relationship between the dog licking and the scumbag. The former mostly fails, and the latter often succeeds.

The most practical place is to go to the store to buy something, and when you turn around, you hear the manager shout: "Okay, I will pay the price you said."

But is Huo Teng really that kind?

of course not!

Huo Teng wanted to take the centaur to Göttingen County and then release it.By that time, I'm afraid she will be almost hungry too.Huo Teng's people are everywhere in Göttingen County. Arrange the people below to drive her to Göttingenburg. Huo Teng will give her some food at that time. Isn't there a good chance to harvest a horse?

Really, Huo Teng didn't chase women as hard as he chased war horses.

For a knight, a war horse is really a more precious relative than a woman.

So, after the army entered Göttingen County, they had been starving for several days, and the much thinner female centaur was put on the way by Huo Teng.
