() War, what is it fought for? What is fought is soldiers, horses, food and grass, these two are like bullets, and famous generals and counselors are like guns. The better the gun is, the fewer bullets it can kill and kill more enemies.
However, no matter how good the gun is, it will not work without bullets, and among the two who construct bullets, there is no doubt that food and grass are easy to come by, but soldiers and horses are difficult to find.
Food and grass can always be collected from various channels as long as you have money. As for soldiers and horses, they are something that money cannot buy. This is why Qin Xiaobai did not kill Xiaochi's soldiers to gain experience, but instead killed them.
Because of the prisoners.
Although Wudu Peak is now one of the seven peaks, in fact after the battle with Xiaochi County, it is the weakest among the seven peaks of Heifeng Mountain, with only more than 2,000 soldiers, while Tongtian Main Peak has 6,000 soldiers, and the rest
All the peaks are around 4,000 people, and even Xiaodu Peak of Red Lotus Demon Moon has 3,000 people including capable players.
Anyone who is so weak will be bullied. On the surface, Qin Xiaobai is the master of Wudu Peak, and the other peak masters are on an equal footing, but in fact he is the one with the weakest say. Even the envoys from Tianfeng District do not take Wudu Peak seriously.
In my eyes, I can see one or two.
Qin Xiaobai now urgently needs to expand his strength and increase his troops. If he has a hundred thousand people, let alone Niu Fu, even if Dong Zhuo comes in person, he cannot be his superior or subordinate, and can only have a cooperative relationship with him.
How to increase soldiers and horses? There are only two channels, recruiting soldiers to surrender, or cultivating them yourself.
If you want to have surrendered pawns, you must start a war. Not to mention that wars do not happen all the time. Just the losses in that battle cannot be compensated by the surrendered pawns. Moreover, even if you recruit descended pawns, you still have to train their morale when they are low.
Come back or you won't be able to join the war.
The current war situation is critical and troops are in short supply. However, after recruiting the more than 600 Xiaochi soldiers captured by Qin Xiaobai, he removed their troops and disarmed them and placed them on the fifth peak instead of entering the battlefield. Even if they were afraid that their military morale would not be stable and their loyalty
It's not high, but using it now will only cause confusion.
Another point is to train your own soldiers. This must have a prerequisite, which is population.
Regardless of the current large number of refugees in Wuwei County, this is all due to the rebellion of the Baima Qiang people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find anyone, because Qin Xiaobai is not an official soldier, but a bandit, who forcibly robs civilians.
It will be self-defeating, add confusion and cause hatred.
Now is an opportunity. There are refugees everywhere in Wuwei County. As long as you give them a bite of food, even if they become bandits, they won't have much resistance.
If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for a year later when the entire Qiang people rebel and wreak havoc in Xiliang, and then there will be a large number of refugees again.
Qin Xiaobai also wants to take advantage of the Qiang rebellion to rise up like Han Sui and Ma Teng. If he recruits and trains again at that time, he will start much later than these two big guys.
These two bosses, one who hired all the troops of the Qiang tribe to join the Xiliang rebel army, and the other who joined the Xiliang official army rebels, supported most of the Xiliang official army and were extremely powerful. If they showed any signs of weakness, they would only be annexed.
The current rebellion of the Baima Qiang people has resulted in 100,000 refugees. More than half of the 100,000 refugees in Wuwei County are in Heifeng Mountain, and more than half of the refugees in Heifeng Mountain are in Xiaodu Peak.
Xiaodu Feng cannot afford to support these refugees now, so he wants to sell them to Qin Xiaobai cheaply. What is the timing? This is the timing.
In the past, Qin Xiaobai would not have dared to take over the refugees. Although he plundered Xiaochi County, he still had too little food and grass to feed the refugees.
But now, Qin Xiaobai dared to give it a try. A large amount of grain and grass purchased by Heifeng Mountain from the Qiang people was stored in Fenghuifeng. According to Qin Xiaobai's estimate, it was at least ten thousand stones. Fenghuifeng only had a population of 5,000, so there was too much grain and grass.
Many, through Hua Lao's relationship, Qin Xiaobai believed that he could easily buy three thousand stones of food and grass.
As for the rest of the peak owners who have attached themselves to Black Wind Mountain and want to take the food and grass back, it is impossible. This wrangling will take several months at least, and by then the food and grass will have been eaten up.
Red Lotus Demon Moon said that the Bright Moon Alliance will locate its headquarters in Xiaochi County. Players' demand for food and grass is only for physical strength. Generally speaking, if the physical strength is sufficient, players do not need to eat. Many living players in the Bright Moon Alliance have broad business interests among the players.
Qin Xiaobai can completely exchange grain for food, or buy grain with money. He is confident that he can buy at least two thousand more stones of grain from players.
Finally, there is the channel Niu Fu. Qin Xiaobai estimates that the Black Wind Mountain gold mine should be located in Wudu Peak, and at least part of the gold mine should be there, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not choose Xiaochi County as his base.
Qin Xiaobai doesn't have a senior prospector anyway, so he has gold mines lying around, and he doesn't have any channels to buy grain and grass from NPCs in Xiliang. If this was originally a gold mine secretly occupied by Dong Zhuo's camp, and Niu Fu
Make a 'deal' and ask for food and grass assistance. He believes that the food and grass he can get will not be less than five thousand dan.
In this way, there will be ten thousand stones of grain and grass, which can feed 10,000 people for half a year, and 20,000 people for three months, enough to survive the winter.
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai not only wants those 8,000 refugees, he also wants 20,000 refugees from Red Lotus Demon Moon.
"Two...ten thousand? Want it?" Honglian Yaoyue looked at Qin Xiaobai in disbelief. She felt that the person in front of her was so unexpected. She had done an investigation on Qin Xiaobai and did not think that Qin Xiaobai
Bai is a person who does things regardless of the consequences. There must be a way to solve this problem.
However, Honglian Yaoyue also knows the importance of population. However, it is still early in the game and having to bear such a huge burden of more than 20,000 people will greatly affect her development.
At this time, seeing that Qin Xiaobai was able to bear it, he gave it all to him, but he very cunningly put forward a condition. The 20,000 people were only given to Qin Xiaobai, and they were still given live, and the period was three months.
.If within three months she has double the amount of money from selling the 20,000 people, she can redeem the 20,000 people at any time.
Honglian Yaoyue's plan is to ask Qin Xiao to temporarily help her as a custodian population and bear her initial burden. After three months of training, all 20,000 refugees will be able to regain their productivity. It is a huge profit.
Qin Xiaobai could obviously see it, but he didn't point it out. The matter would be discussed in three months' time. Whether the agreement will be implemented at that time will depend on which of the two parties has the bigger fist.
After the two reached an agreement, they settled the deal at a price of 30 taels for one class of refugees and 600,000 taels for 20,000 refugees. After all, Honglian Yaoyue wanted to buy it back, so for her, the lower the initial price, the better.
The population of Wudu Peak was only over 2,000, and now the population was about to increase nearly ten times. Qin Xiaobai suddenly felt confident. However, he had to get through this crisis first, so he said: "Master Honglian Peak, I'm here
The refugees have been acquired, can you fulfill your promise?"
"Now you and I share the same interests, this is natural." Red Lotus Yaoyue smiled slightly. She has a loli figure and a queenly temperament, which immediately makes people feel like seeing a blood lotus on a moonlit night, which is touching.
"Ding, the system prompts that Xiao Dufeng has joined the neutral camp."
After seeing the system prompts, Qin Xiaobai's heart, which had been hanging tightly, finally calmed down. If the horizontal technique is successful, it depends on how the vertical technique goes.
