Chapter 385 Unexpected 3
Under the night, on the side of the country of Shaoze, General Wuwei Zhao Chen ran away frantically with his remnants of defeated generals.
The attack from the east, the prince Leng Kun, was really unexpected!
He was angry, but had nowhere to vent. Now he really wants to rush in front of the prince Leng Kun, tear open his brain to see if it contains a pig brain!
At the national level, the weak and the weak unite to fight the strong; you, the weak and the strong unite, bully the weak, and wait for Nangong to become wise, and you will still have good fruit to eat? !
But it's useless to say anything now, because... it's a foregone conclusion!
Prince Leng Kun launched an attack from the east, causing General Wuwei Zhao Chen to divide his troops to defend. As a result, Zhao Chen's military power in the south inevitably weakened, and was counterattacked by Nan Gongzhi.
In the battle a few days ago, although Nangong Zhi lost a lot, Zhao Chen was unable to expand the results of the battle because of the timely response, especially the timely dispatch of troops by the prince Leng Kun. He was even killed by Nangong Zhi.
Encountered on both sides, Zhao Chen was stretched and had to retreat again and again; but the failure led to different voices inside!
The biggest problem with economic unification is that everyone is more like a 'community of interests'. If it fails, there is obviously no benefit at all. And without interests, naturally there is no such thing as a 'community of interests'.
As a result, his subordinates inevitably began to renounce their virtues.
The idea of economic unification can be said to be groundbreaking, but economic unification itself is not without shortcomings, and it can even be said that the shortcomings are obvious!
The advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are even more obvious!
Needless to say, the idea of economic unification has brought hope to the country of Shaoze. But the disadvantage is that it is loose! It's okay to fight with the wind, but once it fails, the morale of the army will decline rapidly, and many generals from all sides, etc., will start to waver.
As a result, in the process of retreating, the southern or eastern separatist regimes would gradually leave Zhao Chen's team and seek refuge with Nangong Zhi or the prince Leng Kun.
As a result, as Zhao Chen retreated all the way, the army gradually shrank. After finally retreating to its core area and re-stabilizing the front line, the army shrank by one-third.
This third is only an approximate figure. In fact, many legions are already in a half-empty state. The real number of troops is at most half.
As for the combat effectiveness of the army, let’s discount it again—a quarter! Even a fifth!
Especially with a large amount of luggage lost and soldiers throwing away their armor and armor, how much combat power is left is really a question mark.
After reading the report in his hand, Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and slapped the paper in his hand into pieces.
But at this moment, scouts came to report: Nan Gongzhi in the south had stopped attacking, while Prince Leng Kun's army in the east was still attacking. No, it can't be called an offense, it should be called a robbery!
…………
In the south, Nangong Zhi stood on a mountain and looked into the distance, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth - although he couldn't see very far at night.
The place under your feet is the dividing line of the northern third of the country of Shaoze. Occupying here means that he has mastered about two-thirds of the territory in the middle and southwestern parts of the Shaoze country; looking at the whole country, it is almost half of the Shaoze country's territory.
But what surprised Nangongzhi the most was that Leng Kun didn't see the situation on his side, but was still chasing Zhao Chen instead.
Even if the two parties are in a cooperative relationship now, Nangong Zhi couldn't help but mutter - this Leng Kun is not a pig's head, is it? Anyone with a little bit of political savvy should join forces with Zhao Chen and attack himself at this time!
Thinking of this, Nangong Zhi couldn't help but ask Fang Rong, a think tank beside him.
Fang Rong thought for a while and said confidently, "General, I think there are two main reasons for this. First, Zhao Chen used to be a relative of the emperor after all. In terms of status, he can even be regarded as a Leng Kun's uncle!
I think in Leng Kun's heart, he hates Zhao Chen even more.
Secondly, Leng Kun has almost no ability to control his opponents. Although he is a prince, he is only a prince, not the former prince. There have always been rumors that the prince was killed by Leng Kun.
In addition, there are two groups of people around the prince. Some of them were old officials and nobles from the beginning of the empire. Most of these people were corrupt and full of fat. There are also a group of people who fell to the prince's side due to the situation after the rise of us and Zhao Chen. These people are not trustworthy at all. "
Nangong Zhi nodded, "You're right. Let everyone have a good rest and distribute all the pills. Maybe in a few days, a decisive battle will break out.
In addition, you can go to the person in charge of Dayang Group and tell us that we have applied for a war loan of 50 million high-grade spirit stones, and all the money will be used to buy artillery, shells, crossbows, and elixir. "
In the country of Shaoze, Green Boat Bank and Dayang Group have not separated independently for the time being, but are exploring the market together. So to apply for a loan, you can go directly to Dayang Group.
"War loan?" Fang Rong was stunned. "General, Dayang Group's war loan interest rate is extremely expensive. The daily interest rate is 5/10,000! It's still compound interest. I roughly calculated the annual interest rate. Over 20%! Second year combined interest rate over 24%!
In addition, when applying for a war loan, the review process is strict. They will definitely ask us about our strategy and so on. "
"Yeah!" Nangong Zhi nodded, "Do you know why I stopped attacking now?"
Fang Rong thought for a while and said, "Let the opponent fight?"
"This is just one of the weakest reasons. In fact, have you noticed that the people on the prince's side are not marching at all, but robbing! They are robbing civilians, massacring local nobles, families, etc.
And their doing so will lead to three evil consequences.
First, the soldiers are gradually dispersed, greedy for money, and gradually lose their fighting spirit.
Second, offend the local people and so on. People who have nothing will go crazy. Just wait, when Zhao Chen calls again, the prince's people probably won't be able to escape.
The third, and most serious, is to tarnish one's own reputation. He is a prince, anyone can rob people, but he can't! And now I do, hey...
People's things are not so easy to get!
I believe that within a few days, the situation in the north will inevitably change. At that time, no matter whether Zhao Chen is willing or not, he will have a shopping fight with the prince Leng Kun under the guidance of the anger of the people.
That is our chance.
So now, let the soldiers take a good rest and prepare for the big battle. The next big war may sweep the country.
Of course, we also need more strategic materials.
And the war loan is a very good choice! "
Fang Rong was overjoyed, "Congratulations, General, I know how to tell Dayang Group."
Nangongzhi nodded, "Remember, at least 50 million, the more the better! After the war, I believe that only those noble families around the prince will be able to copy hundreds of millions of wealth! Repayment, no pressure at all!"
"I'll go."
Fang Rong quickly flew to Jinjiang City, where he found Feng Tai, the person in charge of the Dayang Group, to apply for a war loan the next morning. Opening his mouth was 100 million top-grade spirit stones, but after an audit, a loan of 80 million top-grade spirit stones was approved.
However, according to the consistent urgency of Green Boat Bank and Dayang Group, Nangong Zhi and Fang Rong will not see a penny of this loan here. They will be directly transferred to the account, and then calculated into artillery, pills, etc., and handed over to Lingfeng Group Shipping - Shipping costs are at your own expense.
In addition, there is also a low-end version of the Great Formation of Sealing Heaven and Earth—30 million top-grade spirit stones. Plus a whole set of technical materials for the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation—worth 20 million yuan!
Fang Rong was shocked when he got the information about the Great Formation of Fengtiansuodi - such technical information, how could it be sold like this?
Until Fang Rong left, Feng Tai shook his head slightly - he didn't know why, when he contacted the headquarters just now, the headquarters said that the technology of the Great Formation of Sealing Heaven and Earth can be sold! Feng Tai is still a little confused now.
Feng Tai joined the Xuantie Guild at the beginning, then left the Xuantie Guild with Zhang Shengde, joined the Xuantie Factory, and finally became a small shareholder of Dayang Group, and now volunteered to become the general manager of the Kingdom of Shaoze. With the help of Dayang Group's resources, it has now become the Nascent Soul Stage.
But at this time, Feng Tai shook his head and continued to be busy. He still needs to pay attention to the follow-up development of Nangong Zhi.
