Chapter 2256: Chaos

When the Earl looked at the person in front of him, he hated the person in front of him to the point of death. If possible, he really wanted to kill the person in front of him with a single knife. The Earl waved his hand to let these people go out. I don't want to see this guy anymore, and the other servants didn't say anything, they all thought it was the earl's discomfort. It's no wonder that the earl won't feel very comfortable every time someone comes from the capital. , because the people in the capital will basically not make the Lord Earl feel better, as long as those people have a little matter, they will find trouble with the Earl. But no matter what, it’s all from a father, and the Earl’s Mansion can have the current ability, which is inseparable from the capital. If the people in the capital don’t take care of this side, the one who suffers is the earl in front of him. My lord, so it’s nothing to be beaten. This is what everyone guesses. In their view, it’s the matter in front of them. It is estimated that there is no other matter besides the matter in front of them. Only the earl and the second steward understand what is going on. Because of the reason for this matter, the earl has long since lost any contact with the duke's mansion in the capital. This superficial relationship is actually a real relationship. The people over there have not been in contact with this side for at least decades. Many people may have forgotten what happened here. The Earl really regretted what happened back then. If I didn't contact this Lao Shizi organization, I wouldn't be able to become what I am now. Although I am living a good life now, how can I be a real earl? I live like a servant. The bastard in front of me can treat me as I want. I really have a little freedom None, if I can make myself choose again, it would be better for me to contact the Duke’s Mansion in the capital, at least because those people over there, the people in this organization will not treat me too much, they will definitely compare Things are much better now. But there was no room for regret. I haven't contacted them for decades, and I don't think I know where the Duke's Mansion is now. It is because of this reason that I can only keep in touch with these people. There is no other way to get help. In the current situation, we can only follow these people all the way to the dark. This is the last thing I want, but I don't have any other skills, and those big shots won't put their eyes on me. If I have some other skills, I can also do this thing. This time they did a very big thing. Although I don’t know some of the main things, the general content is still okay. Well, it would be great if I could meet with a high-level executive of Cao’s House. If I sell this news to them, everything will be easier to do. That shitty second manager has been bullying me for so many years. I should also know the result of bullying you for a while, and that woman, who is said to be my wife, but I have never touched anything, it is very embarrassing to say such things, but This is a fact, and everything will be true if the Second Steward's matter is resolved.

If Li Cong knew what this guy was thinking, he would probably run in and talk to this guy at this time. Both of them have something they need, and what the Earl needs is a strong man. ally, and what Li Cong needs is news from this mysterious organization. If the Earl can trade with him, the current crisis of the Cao’s House of Commerce can be said to be solved, and the two-sided advance can be said to be normal. of

Li Cong's side has just had a little improvement, but Li Wei's side is not so lucky. It can be said that the three thousand associations have not asked why. Li Wei spent a month investigating Regarding this matter, the news I got at the end was that these people all wanted to make money from this thing. As for some other purposes, they basically had no purpose. This kind of thing made the investigation of Cao's House of Firms have to stop. In addition, there is no news about the base in the Warcraft Mountains, and the investigation in the Southern Empire has stopped, but Li Wei believes in the people on his side very much, and there should be no news about it, so I discussed it with the ninth-level fighter Li Cong was looking for. They ambushed a lot of good players at that gathering point. As long as the people above pass, they will catch those people, of course. , if the person who came as last time was the Earl of Fali, Li Cong would have done it here, but Li Cong would have figured out some things before he did it, just like now, the intelligence department of the local Cao's House I just got the terrible news that the sons of Earl Fali didn’t seem to be in this place, and they seemed to have been sent somewhere to study. In the end, the intelligence department of Cao’s Commercial Bank paid a price of hundreds of thousands of silver. Knowing that they all went to Xuanyunzong, Li Cong didn't feel surprised by such a thing. It seems that this matter is really related to the people of Xuanyunzong. What are these people doing for? Or this matter was done by the people of Xuanyunzong. Although Xuanyunzong could feel the threat of Cao's firm, Xuantianzi is not a fool. How could he do such a thing? The anti-Cao alliance formed afterwards was also hidden behind, and there was absolutely no plan to come to the front desk. It was such a thing that made Li Cong feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was. Anyway, the whole thing is somewhat unreasonable. It seems that everything still needs to be calculated slowly. Li Cong saw that the Earl was angry for a while and did not do anything, but the second manager did a lot Things that went against the norm, the mansion also began to scold other people loudly. Originally, many of the earl's people were scolded by this guy. You must know that these people are basically the direct descendants of the earl's mansion. But the second steward was brought by the madam. Although this kind of thing does not change anything specific, it can make the earl hate this guy even more, and make the people below think that the earl is a henpecked person , the Earl is very anxious about such things. If he really wants to take revenge on this guy in the future, then there must be no problem. At that time, this guy's life will definitely not be very good, and it is because of the reason in front of him. The Earl has also had a dark face recently. It's just that everyone is not pleasing to the eye.

The war between the Western Empire and Cao's House has also undergone some changes in the past month. Tuoba Yuanye started to carry out a more urgent defense plan on the front line, and was worried that the army of the Southern Empire might have problems at that time, so this guy got all the troops of the Southern Empire out, just at this time Cao's House's own army has almost come over. The army of these hundreds of divisions can definitely withstand the hundreds of millions of Western Empire troops. If we attack you, we are afraid of huge casualties. But if you come to attack us, this matter is not so easy. In the end, you may all have a bad life. Although Prince Ding of the Western Empire said something well, he said that he wanted to drive the army of the Cao family firm from the territory of the Western Empire in one fell swoop, and bring decades of peace to the borders of the Western Empire. Whoever mentions the coming of the Western Empire will say that this is not an easy place to get, and everyone in the Western Empire has also started to praise the Prince Ding, and the emperor of the Western Empire also gave this old guy the title of Prince Protector Title, you must know that such a title does not exist very much in the history of the Western Empire. It can be said that such a title has already reached the status second only to the emperor. If it continues to rise, the head of Prince Ding will appear There is a problem, and it is for this reason that Prince Ding hastily brought the troops of the Western Empire to the front line. If he continues to wander around the capital, his result will definitely not be very good in the end. If your reputation is much better than that of the emperor, you are basically at your end, and no one will say anything to you at all. These people will play around with the wind one by one, don't look at those people now I can't wait to kneel down and praise myself, but when my boat fails, those people will immediately go to the opposite side of me, that is, those who usually tell me that I have a good relationship and family friends, these people At that time, he will be the most powerful person to deal with him. I can see all this clearly. In the past, I didn't see it so clearly because I was not in that high position. But now I In this position, some things can be seen more clearly, and I also understand that some of these things are far from simple. The emperor of the Western Empire gave him such a title, which seems to be giving him honor. , but another sentence is that this time you go, you can only win, and you must not fail. If you fail, you, the prince protecting the country, will not be able to come back. If you fail, you will kill yourself. I have gained so many benefits for you, but in the end the empire was defeated, and if you are still alive, this matter is not easy to say. Everyone is not a fool, so when Prince Ding led the army out of the capital, he was still happy just now. Hehe, this guy is already frowning, of course he knows how uncomfortable the current changes are, and they all know how terrifying the attack of the Cao's House is. It is still very clear that now that the people of Cao's House are defending, and they are going to attack, the casualties must be even greater. Although there are hundreds of millions of troops on the front line, it is still a huge unknown whether they can do it.

Maybe because they knew that Prince Ding was coming to the front line, the airships of Cao's House were not idle, so they sent hundreds of airships to bomb the route of Prince Ding of the Western Empire. The airship turned out to be a lot of people who made some uncomfortable landmines on the road. These things are also very good. As long as Prince Ding dares to go up and try, this thing doesn’t care whether you are Prince Ding or not. An ordinary soldier will give you the most fair treatment. These people probably don't know much about such things. In their opinion, such things should be given to those dignitaries. The speed made Prince Ding very depressed. It turned out that the place could be reached by ten days' journey. It has taken fifteen days now, but it has not gone halfway. Although His Majesty the Emperor often comes over to make him pay attention to safety, everyone can see it now, His Majesty the Emperor. The wording is already very severe, and what they are talking about is different from before. In the past, they asked Prince Ding and the others to pay attention to safety, but now they mostly talk about the situation on the front line, and then He scolded the marshals on the front line vigorously, saying that these people are useless, it seems that Prince Ding is the most useful. How many times will I say that as long as Prince Ding arrives. The army of Cao's House is definitely not enough to look at. It is an honor to say less like this, but it is not an honor if you talk too much. If this is the case, it will become a reminder. Prince Ding understood such things very well. Of course he knew that he needed to speed up, but no matter where he was, no matter what route he took. The airships of the Cao’s House of Merchant will all hit your head. Hundreds of thousands of these bombs are dropped. It doesn’t matter if you belong to the prince or not. You can kill yourself directly. It’s better to be honest about this kind of thing. It's better, otherwise, I might have lost my life before I got to the front line. If the people from Cao's House of Commerce dispatched the ground troops, Prince Ding would naturally not be afraid of them, but this airship really has no There is a way, although there are many magicians around me, but the attacks of the magicians can't reach those damned airships. These people also know that there are magicians by Prince Ding's side, and they will not use their own Since you are going to start a war, we must honestly maintain some of our advantages in the sky. If not, there is something wrong with our brains, that is, because of this The problem is, these people don't care about other things when they see the airship of Cao's House, and just rest at Brother Zhao's place. Although the officers have said it many times, their team has tens of millions of troops. , stretching for thousands of miles, mere airships can't do anything to them, but as long as they appear, such fear will still spread everywhere, making them run away one by one, or they don't know themselves, and they don't know where they came from. The news spread from somewhere is also very good. I just said that if you run hard, the chance of being injured by the bomb on the airship is much less in the end, but if you don’t run, this Odds are really fun.

Tuoba Yuanye is not a fool, so he will not let go of such a good opportunity. In the past, this guy was the marshal of the Western Empire, and he is very familiar with some marching routes and habits of the Western Empire. , these airships are just waiting at these main roads. As long as people from the Western Empire show up, they can just go there and throw bombs. For resupply, the large airships of Cao's House are waiting there. Thousands of tons of ammunition are being used to replenish these small airships, and according to the things learned in the military academy, when bombing people, you still have to watch them. Yes, a cavalry is absolutely different from an infantry. A general is much more important than a group of soldiers. It is for this reason that the soldiers of the Cao's House actually started to pick their prey. If the following Without a general or something, no one in a group of infantry would be willing to throw a bomb. It is simply too wasteful. Even if a dozen people are killed by throwing it down, so what, and it will not have any impact on the entire battle situation. Yes, these people can still continue to recruit. Human beings are probably the most indispensable thing on this planet. It is very easy to get more soldiers. It is not so easy for officers. Yes, especially some low-level officers in the army. They are even more precious treasures in the army. Many snipers specialize in dealing with such officers in the air. The voice that opened the air, and some of the officers are not incompetent guys, they know what this voice represents, so they can easily hide it, and it is for this reason that they are all now Don’t wear officer’s clothes anymore, these people have already put on soldiers’ clothes and mixed into the infantry ranks. Although this will reduce the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army a lot, but don’t care so much, right? ? What I have to do now is to guarantee my own head. As for some other things, don’t worry about it so much. Many officers have said that they are the most valuable asset in the entire empire. An ordinary soldier is nothing. Put on my clothes and ride a tall horse. That feeling is good. At the beginning, many soldiers didn't understand what was going on, and some people were strong enough to do such things, but later they all discovered such things. As long as it's someone who does that at the time of the day. In the end, they lost their own heads. There is no way to say this. It can only be said that the brains of ordinary soldiers are not as good as those of these officers. The brains of officers are not comparable to ordinary people. But the soldiers of the Western Empire also despise their officers very much. in an army. To be an officer is to be admired by the soldiers, and to be regarded as their own idol, but now they have become people who are despised. Such a situation does not happen very often, and the officers also know that such a situation will occur, but they have no choice but to use their own heads to exchange this morale? I don't have such a good heart, and keeping my head is the most important thing. As for morale? Get out, I'm so empty.

Before the war officially started, many soldiers of the Western Empire believed that their war could not be won this time, because they would look at the problem with their own eyes. It's been more than a month, but I haven't gone one-tenth of the distance. It was said that I can reach the front line in half a year to seven months. If I go according to the current time, it is estimated that it will take at least two years. Yes, although the people in Cao's House of Merchant are not attacking very much anymore, they will pay more attention to this defensive issue. This may be a more terrible thing, because of the reason in front of them, these people It will be more depressed when doing things. Isn't it they who strengthen the defense? It's better to let those people attack quickly. Anyway, the situation on the front line is already a mess, and it is impossible to make it even more chaotic. It looks good now, it’s fine now, let’s go, I don’t know if I can get to the place, even if I get to the place, I don’t know how they have strengthened the defense line, if I don’t go, stay here, Those damned airships come over every day, and the ones thrown down may not blow up myself, but there will definitely be pressure in my heart. I dropped the bomb from such a high place. From my place, it looks like They are far away from me, but I don’t know why the bomb landed on top of my head. At the end, I didn’t see how I died. That’s why it made them feel uncomfortable. In the end, there were deserters. Damn, I haven’t walked one-tenth of the way. How could there be deserters? If you continue to escape at this speed, I’m afraid when you get to the front line Even half of the people will not be left. Prince Ding is really anxious. In the end, he has no choice but to order the army to march day and night. Because of poor visibility at night, the bombing of Cao's House Basically, it will not start at night, it will be carried out during the day, if you can walk during the day, you can walk, if you can’t walk, just find a place to hide, anyway, you will be sleepy during the day, really If you want to leave, you don't know how many people will be left behind in the end. Prince Ding also put his own army at the end. If you see it, it’s a light beating. If it’s really serious, I don’t know what it will be like. This kind of thing has happened often. If you dare to resist, hehe, this thing can be just It will be even more excessive. These people may kill you directly. Although Prince Ding also knows that his own soldiers may be a bit excessive in doing things, but in this state, if there is no severe punishment, These people really think that their lord is a bad-tempered guy. Such a thing can't happen. I definitely want to give these people a little bit of power. After taking these measures, let alone what happened The problem is much less than before, and the speed of the march is also much faster. There is no way to deal with the people of Cao's House. They have carried out several bombings this night, but the effect is not very good. Yes, it can only be strengthened landmines, which cannot be avoided.

The casualties caused by landmines to soldiers are not very large. The main reason is that the soldiers of Cao's House are not very familiar with this thing, and the prediction of the route is not very accurate. As a result, many of them have made mistakes, but there is a problem that brings these soldiers The fear is very great. It is said that there are about 30 people in the Western Imperial Army who were all sent to the sky by a mine. Since then, basically no soldiers are willing to go forward. Some animals were used to go forward. Although this reduced the casualties of the soldiers, the loss for these animals was also very large. In the end, all these animals were killed. These animals died one by one, and all the things on them were carried by the soldiers, which made the marching speed even slower. In fact, it was not just the military that suffered because of this incident. Even some surrounding cities will have problems. Since these soldiers don't need to walk during the day. When they arrive in a city, they will naturally go in to play. These people feel that they will not live for a long time, so it is inevitable that they will be bolder when they go in to play. What's the matter with no money, I'm going to the front line, this is for you people to get some peace of life, the military discipline of the Western Empire was not very good before, and it's even worse now, There have been many such things in some surrounding cities. Later, as soon as these troops arrived, the city lord immediately ordered the gates to be closed. Even if a general came to call the gates, they would not open them. Even some local garrison troops had to resist, which caused a certain split in the army within the Western Empire. These troops going to the front line felt even more uncomfortable. Damn, I have to I lost my life, why don’t you guys even let us in at the city gate, if that’s the case, we just don’t go in, just let the people from Cao’s House of Commerce occupy you, Prince Ding is also right These city owners expressed dissatisfaction with their ideas, but he had no choice. Although he is a prince, these people have nothing to do with him. It is okay for your prince to go to the city to rest, but you The soldiers under him don’t need to go in. If they are allowed to go in, some bad things will happen to our entire city. We don’t know how these soldiers fight, but they can still search for land. Besides, you don't care about some security incidents. If you really catch these soldiers, you will end up with a beating at most in your army. It is impossible for us to recover the loss of people or money. In the middle, there was a concubine of the son of the city lord who was given to that by these soldiers. In the end, the son of the lord of the city led people to hang those soldiers up, and finally almost caused a conflict In the end, Prince Ding personally handwritten a letter to the city lord, and this matter was suppressed, but almost none of the cities that passed through later opened their gates, even if Prince Ding passed by, they would not Opened, this is simply a terrible thing, we will open after you leave.

There are more than hundreds of counties and towns along the way. Originally, Prince Ding wanted to go and have a look, saying that he wanted to inspect the defense, but the real thing is to go in and let these officials do their best to honor themselves. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen to these damned things. This really made Prince Ding wish to kill all the soldiers who made trouble, but he knew that if he killed them at this time, his subordinates would have already been killed. The only thing Prince Ding thinks about at this time is to get to the front line quickly, and then quickly get back the people from Cao's house and the land. If I knew it would be such a situation, I wouldn’t come out. That’s good. The whole place is watching my jokes. Just look at my white hair. Basically, I have lost money and died. Things were not thought of before, and it was precisely because of this reason that Prince Ding felt that it would not be so simple for him to go this time. Several staff members had already done calculations. It is impossible for the localities to recover their combat power within two months, and even if they recover, they will only be one-third of their heyday at most. If such a combat power is to suppress the uprising of the common people, then there is no such thing questionable. After all, they are still some hungry wolves, but to deal with those wolves who are full of Cao's firm, and they may turn into tigers, these people are not very good, their weapons are not as good as others, The combat power is not as good as others, and the battlefield situation is not good. Anyway, there is no place where he can do it. Anyway, Prince Ding has not smiled for several days, and Tuoba Yuanye is very happy. A few days ago, this guy was still very depressed. I have been walking at night, and my airship has airstrikes several times, but it has no effect, and some bombs were wasted in vain. I didn't expect such a good thing to happen during the daytime rest. If the relationship between these troops and the common people is at its worst. It is estimated that there is no need for these people to do anything. They may lose their combat effectiveness on the way. We are still very clear about how these ordinary people treat the army. After all, we were considered members of the Western Empire in the past, and we still know a lot about these things, but Tuoba Yuanye still asked his own people to quickly trim the fortifications. His own strategy is like this. The army of the Western Empire came That's right, I just let them attack hard, as long as I can withstand their attack, I can create an illusion for them, that is, make them feel that they can't beat themselves, so that they have no other skills, just You have to be in a stalemate with yourself. At that time, it is time for you to fight back. As long as you are attacking, you can let them retreat, so that you can occupy at least ten provinces in the Western Empire. At that time, the army was defeated like a mountain. On the contrary, the reinforcements from the rear are much better than when they cooperated with the Southern Empire. Of course, everything is based on the time when you want to win, and you have to let the damn anti-Cao alliance not make trouble , Otherwise, my final result will definitely not be so good. These people are all very powerful. You can't underestimate them, just be honest.

If the war went on like this, the final result would be predictable, but at this time, a new change appeared on the battlefield. At this time, the people of the Northern Empire actually agreed to the army of the Eastern Empire entering the Western Empire through the Northern Empire. What kind of military exchanges did the empire carry out? Although the people from the Cao family firm immediately negotiated with the people from the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire, telling them that no matter what the reason was, if they wanted to intervene in this, they would have to pay a price. It is possible, given a lot of restrictive measures. Even if people from the Eastern Empire can pass, the number is not very large, but there are no people from the Niaocao House in the Eastern Empire. It is just what you say and I will listen. That’s it, but you don’t have to worry about what I do. Cao’s firm immediately increased the economic sanctions on the Eastern Empire and announced a 100% price increase strategy for the Eastern Empire. For a while, the people of the Eastern Empire began to panic. It's nothing to increase the price of other things, and it doesn't have much to do with them, but if the price of food and other things increases, it will be a serious matter. They won't eat or drink? The common people are most concerned about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that these two things have problems, how can they not worry about it? Another problem is the transportation problem. , They are not very afraid of this problem, but the problem is that the people of Cao's House have made this thing. Not only have they made it, but they have also let this thing enter the lives of many people. These people are already used to it. Yes, the former bodyguard bureaus and the like have long since disappeared. When the Cao’s House announced the price increase, many ordinary people scolded them vigorously. Some said that the people in the Cao’s House were profiteers, and some said that the imperial court of the Eastern Empire There is no consideration for the common people, and there is everything to say, but the Eastern Empire has not withdrawn this order, and Cao's House of Commerce will naturally not withdraw it, and they will continue to do it, but everyone has already received Li Cong's order Yes, the prices of luxury goods continue to rise, but these things related to the common people can be restored in a month. It would be bad if other business groups in the Eastern Empire took advantage of it. I just gave them A certain amount of pressure is enough. As for those luxury goods, Li Cong is not too worried. Anyway, for those rich people, what they want is an enjoyment, whether you give them a price of 10,000 or 20,000. The price, they all have to continue to live, and they will continue to use those things, such things are very normal for them, and each of these people does not think that spending tens of thousands more There is nothing wrong with the two silver coins. For them, the matter in front of them is a very normal thing, and there will be no problems. That's why Li Cong will earn this silver coin, just like the price of some alcohol. They are all 400,000 a bottle. I didn’t expect that after the price increase of 800,000, the purchase volume will increase a lot. These people are businessmen. The price will definitely increase even more. At that time, you will suffer even more. Buying it at this time, whether you drink it yourself or give it away, is a very cost-effective thing.

Although they saw that a large amount of money was taken away by the people of Cao's House of Commerce, the Eastern Empire still did not take any action. They didn't even find anyone to explain it, but only they knew whether they had shed blood. This matter, the people of Cao's House of Merchant will not care about you anyway, since you are going to fight against us, you must expect this matter, otherwise your people are just a bunch of fools Well, we won’t say much about this kind of thing, anyway, we’ll just have to see at the end, whoever won, and who knows in their own minds, such a big price in exchange for tens of millions of Eastern Empire The reinforcements, I really don't know what the people of the Eastern Empire are doing, just to show that they are the number one country? Is this too much and a little hungry? But since you don't care about it, we don't need to bother so much, just see how we solve you in the future. (To be continued..)
