Zhao Hai stood there quietly without making a move, and the people in the backing city all looked at the plant army in stunned silence. In the spiritual weapon world, soul planters are not called planters because of their training methods.
, unlike the soul world, here, the soul planters will only turn into plants. They can't command the planters again, and they have no way to communicate with the plants here, because the plants here have no original soul power.
.
It is precisely because of this that in the world of spiritual soldiers, the status of soul planters is not high, and there are very few men who are soul planters. I don’t know why.
But this time, the army of plants suddenly released by Zhao Hai made everyone on and off the city confused. They really didn't know what was going on, why those plants were moving, and why those plants were so powerful.
People have a great fear of the unknown. Those people in the Spirit Snake City State are afraid. They have no way not to be afraid, because when you see a big tree coming towards you, the branches are waving like big sticks.
Likewise, you will also feel scared.
The general who had issued the order before and promised not to seal his sword for three days had already been silently killed by the Iron Wire Grass Man. After the Iron Wire Grass escaped underground, he suddenly appeared behind the general,
Then, the general was killed.
After the death of that general, the entire army of the Spirit Snake City State was in chaos. Those people in the Spirit Snake City State had long forgotten about not sealing the sword for three days, about getting promoted and getting rich, and all of them just hated their parents for having children.
Two legs, you can run as fast as you want.
Although Zhao Hai's plant army is extremely powerful in combat, the plant army does not move very fast, and they cannot catch up even if they want to. This also gives the people of the Spirit Snake City State a chance to escape. The People's Congress of the Spirit Snake City State
Some of them ran away, and only a few unlucky ones were killed by the plant army.
The battle concluded faster than Zhao Hai expected. In less than two hours, the battle was over. The army of the Spirit Snake City State was defeated, the general was killed, and the army collapsed. The army was in ruins.
As soon as he saw that the armies of the Spirit Snake City-State had been repelled, Zhao Hai waved his hand and took all the plants back into the space, and then Shi Zhui and the others also arrived at Zhao Hai's side.
Zhao Hai glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go down. Since I have taken over the position of city lord, I have to do something. Shi Zhui, you go and make arrangements. Clean up the battlefield and the city.
The maintenance has also been completed. Let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Shi Chui and the others responded and went to prepare, while Zhao Hai led the Iron Qiu Tree and Iron Wire Grass to the City Lord's Mansion. Speaking of which, the backing city is really strange. Zhao Hai said on the city that he
After taking charge of Guoshan City, he repelled the enemies and then entered the City Lord's Mansion. The people in Guoshan City actually accepted him and already considered him the City Lord. Not long after Zhao Hai entered the City Lord's Mansion,
, some well-known people in the backing city actually came to the city lord's mansion to pay homage to the city lord, and at the same time gave him a large number of gifts.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he really didn't know what to say. He really didn't expect that being the city lord would be such an easy thing in the spiritual weapon world.
After repelling the army of the Spirit Snake City State, Shi Zhui and the others organized people to clean up the battlefield outside and brought all useful things into the city. They then arranged for the original city guards to defend the city.
The warning has also been lifted.
After all this was done, Zhao Hai realized how strong the adaptability of people in war-torn areas was. Just after the war, people in the city were already out and about, and shops were opened.
People came out to work when they were supposed to, and went out to buy things when they were supposed to. Except for chatting about the war and the sudden appearance of the city lord when they got together, there was no sense of tension after the war.
Of course, the people in the city also knew about the order of the General of the Spirit Snake City State to not seal the sword for three days. The people in the city all cried bitterly for the troops of the Spirit Snake City State. On the contrary, the people in the city were not satisfied with the sudden appearance of Zhao Hai, the city lord.
, but he didn’t have any objections and simply accepted the new city lord.
Then officials at all levels in the city appeared, and they were all locals. Their positions were also at the grassroots level, because no matter which city lord they were, they had to rely on them to manage the mountain city.
After these officials arrived, Zhao Hai carefully asked about the tax situation before Kaoshan City, the income situation of people before Kaoshan City, and other issues related to people's livelihood.
Because those officials couldn't figure out Zhao Hai's temper, they didn't dare to take advantage of him, so they answered all the questions Zhao Hai asked. Of course, not everyone could answer them, and there were still many people who couldn't.
After arriving, Zhao Hai soon learned about the officials in the current city through questioning.
Nowadays, there are two types of officials in Kaoshan City. The first type is those who don’t know anything and only know how to cheat and deceive others. Guys like this have gotten to where they are today by relying on others.
The second type is those who do practical things. Some of these people have been officials in Kaoshan City for generations. No matter how the city lord here is changed, they are the city lord’s indispensable subordinates. Although these people also have some shortcomings, but
In terms of doing practical things, they are much better than the first type of people.
After talking to all the officials in the backing city, Zhao Hai chatted with the famous people in the backing city. The identities of these famous people in the backing city are not simple. There are many of them, and their families are officials in the backing city.
Yes, there are also some people from big families and powerful forces in other cities who have been placed here in Backing City.
The reason why Zhao Hai wants to chat with these people is to know from their mouths how the officials in Kaoshan City are doing, and at the same time, he also wants to learn from them the factional situation among the officials in Kaoshan City.
Don't think that in a small place like Kaoshan City, the officials are not divided into factions. In fact, this is not the case at all. Among the officials in Kaoshan City, the factional leadership struggle is still very fierce, because although Kaoshan City is small, the interests are not the same.
Xiao, in the final analysis, these officials are still out for profit.
After chatting with these people, Zhao Hai had roughly decided which people he would keep and which people he would let go, as well as what kind of control he would have on the officials in the city.
Time passed little by little, and in the next few days, the people in Kaoshan City were a little panicked. They had no way not to panic, because according to custom, after the city lord was changed in Kaoshan City, the city lord would panic.
A city lord's order contains information about the taxation, military affairs, appointment and dismissal of officials at all levels in the backing city, etc. This is closely related to the entire backing city.
And Zhao Hai has also been busy with the City Lord's Order these days. His City Lord's Order needs to be handled well. At the same time, he also wants to know why the people from the Spirit Snake City State suddenly attacked the Blue Wolf City State. Why?
Their offensive performance in the past few days was tepid, but they attacked desperately on the last day. There must be something going on here.
Zhao Hai sent Iron Wire Grass to inquire about the news, and soon Iron Wire Grass brought back the news he wanted. Now the Green Wolf City State has disappeared, and all the original territory of Green Wolf City has been swallowed up by the Spirit Snake City State.
Already.
The reason why the Spirit Snake City State was able to swallow up the territory of the Green Wolf City State was that they actually used a very simple plan, which was to encircle a point to provide reinforcements, and this point was actually the backing city. For the Green Wolf City State, the backing city might be
It is not very important, but for a city-state that only controls a few cities, the backing city is very important. Therefore, as long as the Spirit Snake City-State surrounds the backing city, the people from the Blue Wolf City-State must come to rescue.
The people from the Spirit Snake City State, on the way to the rescue from the Blue Wolf City State, launched an ambush and killed the strongest cavalry of the Green Wolf City State. Then they captured the most important Green Wolf City of the Green Wolf City State in one fell swoop.
They took Qinglang City as the starting point and took over several other cities in the Qinglang City-state.
The reason why the Spirit Snake City State army surrounding Kaoshan City launched a desperate attack at that time was because Kaoshan City had lost its use. In other words, at that time, the Blue Wolf City State was doomed.
As for the troops of the Spirit Snake City State surrounding Kaoshan City, they can wait until the Spirit Snake City State swallows up the entire Blue Wolf City State, and then directly ask Kaoshan City to surrender. This is also the safest way.
But for the army of the Spirit Snake City-state surrounding the backing city, the meaning is completely different. If the army annihilates other cities and then forces the backing city to surrender, then their army can still make meritorious deeds.
Opportunity? If there is no opportunity to make meritorious deeds, what can they do to get promoted and make a fortune? It is precisely because of this idea that the army of the Spirit Snake City State outside Guoshan City will desperately attack Guoshan City. Even the general, in order to arouse the soldiers, took it in one fell swoop.
He went down to Kaoshan City and issued an order not to seal the sword for three days. He originally wanted to rely on this order to let the army attack Kaoshan City in one fell swoop. After entering the city, he would impose certain restrictions on the army, but he still let
The military takes advantage.
But what he didn't expect was that his order directly led to Zhao Hai, and Zhao Hai wiped out their army with one move of his hand. Now the Spirit Snake City State occupies all the cities in the Green Wolf City State, only Guoshan City
It was occupied by Zhao Hai, and in order to digest those cities, the Spirit Snake City State cannot attack the backing city in a short period of time. It can only watch Zhao Hai control the backing city. Although this seems to the people of the Spirit Snake City State,
Zhao Hai can't control the backing city for long. As long as they digest the city of Qinglang City, they can directly destroy the backing city. But before that, Zhao Hai does control the backing city.
Even people from the Spirit Snake City-State would not deny this.
After Zhao Hai heard the news, he was finally sure that they would have another war in the future. Therefore, before the war, a stable rear was very important. How could we stabilize the rear? There is only one
The way is to let the people in the city recognize him as the city lord as soon as possible, and at the same time, let the people in the city understand that only he, the city lord, can let them live a good life.
To achieve this, it is actually very simple. That is to formulate tax policies so that people in the city pay less tax and make the people in the city feel the benefits! (To be continued...)
