Burzinweit came to Harkett with a frown. He was different from Pavarlot. Although he said that he belonged to the other party, in the final analysis, their relationship was just an employment relationship. If the other party really dared to give him a
Whip, he will definitely cause a scene with his Roman mercenaries.
"Okay, it's okay."
Sure enough, just as Burzinweit thought, Harkett did not make any excessive moves. He just got off the horse, patted the opponent on the shoulder, and asked about the opponent's situation.
"It's okay. What can happen to me? There's no fight. If there was a fight, these people are no match for them."
A smile appeared on Burzinweit's face. This is the attitude one of his own should have.
"Okay, just wait, His Highness the Prince will be here in a moment. If you have anything to do, just tell His Highness the Prince."
Harcott nodded. The current situation is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong. The key is to see how Bulvitt makes a choice. If the other party really wants to punish him, he has nothing to say. At worst, he will just leave. Mercenary
That's all, when fighting for money, wherever you are is your home court.
"OK."
Hearing what Harkett said, Burzinweit also said the same thing. Mercenaries only have an employment relationship, and there is no such thing as protecting the home and the country.
The generals of both sides have arrived, and the original tense situation has been alleviated. Both sides also retreated to a relatively safe distance.
Not much time passed, Prince Vespit, Everard and other generals also arrived one after another, as did Baqimu and Delhui.
In this moment, the entire superstructure of Bakrat City was disturbed, and they were all in places they would not normally be.
"Okay, we've all withdrawn. All the soldiers have returned to camp, and all the generals have stayed behind."
Vespit glanced at Baqimu and Delhui who had just arrived, and directly asked the surrounding soldiers to return to their camps. After all, there were so many people here, and if something went wrong, it might be a big problem by then.
"yes."
"yes."
Harkett and Helmata saluted one after another, and then urged the soldiers on both sides to return to their camps, leaving only some general-level figures behind.
"Okay, let's talk about it. If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak."
Vespit glanced at these people, smiled directly, and spoke to them.
"Prince, I have no other ideas. I just think that since everyone is in the military, we should be treated equally and cannot be special. This is the basis of military discipline and there should be no distinction between superiors and subordinates."
Now that Vespit had spoken, Pavarlot also said what he wanted to say, and directly told the reason for this conflict.
"Oh, I understand, Ba Qimu, what do your people say?"
Hearing Pavarlot's words, Vespit nodded, and then aimed at Baqi Mu. After all, these are his people, and they are fundamentally different from the Kushan Army. He doesn't know what to do.
said.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll ask about the situation before we talk."
Although Baqimu is fat, he can be the number one merchant in Daxia, so he is certainly not a fool. When Vespit asked this, he understood what he meant and came directly to Harkett and Burzinweit.
"What's the situation? Tell me. I just came here and all I heard was that there was a conflict."
Baqi Mu glanced at the two of them and asked directly. He had to know the cause and effect in order to make the best judgment.
"Sir, this is what happened."
Burzinweit directly told Ba Qimu all the situation.
"I understand. This is my problem. Don't worry, I won't treat my brothers badly. I know what you are doing."
After hearing the current situation, Baqimu Jiuqiao Linglong naturally understood what the other party meant. He also knew that if this problem could not be solved, then these mercenaries would probably leave. Even if you put a knife to your neck, it would be difficult to stay.
"That will be a big help to you, sir."
"It's time to work."
The two looked at each other, and now they are looking at Ba Qimu. If the other party gets what they want for themselves, then everything will be easier. They use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. They are thugs who lick blood from their swords.
But they are also thugs with beliefs. If they can't get what they want, they will break up. No one can force the other.
"Your Majesty."
Baqimu came to Vespit and saluted him.
"I understand, let's talk about it."
Vespit nodded to Ba Qimu. This group of mercenaries is a powerful force and cannot be let go easily.
"Your Majesty, in fact, these mercenaries don't have much appeal. They all make money today and spend it today. The most fundamental reason why they accepted my employment is that the money I gave is enough and the treatment is generous enough. If
If we deprive them of all these pleasures, they will no longer work for us."
Baqi Mu didn't say any nonsense, and directly explained the meaning of those mercenaries. Who are these people? They are all desperadoes. The most important thing for desperadoes is not life, but fun. If you give these things to the other party
If they are deprived of it, it would be strange if they don't leave.
"Delhui, what do you think?"
Hearing Baqimu's words, Vespit also frowned. He knew that these mercenaries were undisciplined, but if he really allowed them to do whatever they wanted because he wanted to keep this group of mercenaries, then for other soldiers, it would definitely
Cause some damage, that's a problem.
"Your Highness, the current situation is a little different. Our Daxia Province has strict military discipline, but the mercenaries are lax. If we treat everyone equally, the mercenaries will definitely not do it and will most likely refuse to fight for us. If there is a difference
If we treat him badly, it will also have an impact on the military discipline of our army."
Del Hui has seen clearly that the current situation is like this. We must come up with an idea and make both parties accept it.
"I know what you are talking about, so I want to ask the think tank of our Daxia Province how to solve this problem. My attitude is that this mercenary army must be retained."
Vespit naturally understood what Delhui said. He did not want to analyze now, but wanted a practical solution.
"Prince, it is difficult to solve this problem, and it is simple to say it. The problem of mercenaries is actually a problem of identity. It is just that we attach too much importance to the army in front of us, so there are so many problems. If you want to
The solution is easy,
Who are the mercenaries?
As long as the people of Lord Baqimu return the command of this army to Lord Baqimu, the problem will be solved."
Delhui's meaning is very clear. Now that this group of mercenaries is in the military camp, they must look like soldiers. But once they are no longer soldiers, but become mercenaries under Baqi Mu again, then they will not be soldiers.
Bakrat's troops and horses do not belong to the province of Bactria, so there is no need to follow the military discipline and law of Bactria.
"The Prime Minister is right. These mercenaries are my people, and they should naturally be under my control. They are not soldiers, and naturally they do not need to be bound by the military discipline and law of Great Xia. I completely agree with your thoughts, and my people will be under my control."
Give it to me."
After hearing Del Hui's words, Baqi Mu also understood what the other party meant. If he didn't want to treat everyone equally, he had to make a distinction. As long as the mercenaries and Daxia military personnel were separated, the impact could be minimized.
At least there won't be any big problems.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Baqi Mu will take all your people away. I believe you will definitely have a place to place them. Mercenaries should act like mercenaries, and soldiers should act like soldiers.
It looks like you are right."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Vespit had nothing else to say. As long as the matter could be solved, that would be fine. No matter what means were used, the most important thing was to be able to twist Bakrat's people together and keep this place.
"Helmata, Everard, Aroncourt, do you have any opinions?"
Vespit looked at several generals again. Although this was decided by them, he still wanted to ask the opinions of these generals.
"I follow His Highness' wishes."
"I don't have any objections either."
"Understood, I will restrain the sergeants under my command."
When the three of them heard Vespet's words, they bowed to each other and expressed their compliance with his wishes.
"Okay, let's disperse."
Vespit nodded, then got on the carriage and left the military camp to return to his prince's palace. The other generals did the same and went to their own military camps.
A battle was eliminated in this way, but the suspicion of war still shrouded the sky of Bakrat, leaving everyone breathless.
Fortunately, under the control of the Roman masters, the wild ass trebuchets gradually took shape, which can be said to have improved Bakrat's defense as it should.
"General, your Majesty's telegram."
Zhao Yun opened the passage to Bakrat City and was also nervously making preparations for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
"Bring it to me and watch."
Upon hearing the telegram from Yuan Shu, Zhao Yun immediately changed his clothes, took the telegram with both hands, and began to look at it carefully.
"What's wrong?
What did your Majesty say?"
Yan Liang glanced at Zhao Yun and wondered about the content of Yuan Shu's telegram.
"Your Majesty invented the pontoon bridge method. All the armies have crossed the Amu Darya River and easily occupied the important towns along the Amu Darya River. Now after the army has rested for a while, the leading troops have left the Amu Darya River and headed towards Bakra
If you push forward, you can arrive in three days at most."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said the meaning of Yuan Shu's telegram.
"That means we can launch an attack on Bakrat right away."
A flash of excitement flashed in Yan Liang's eyes. Bakrat was now just a piece of fat in his eyes. He looked at this place and was about to lose his temper. However, he had no choice but to have insufficient soldiers to launch a corresponding offensive. This made him feel itchy in his heart.
Now, Yuan Shu's army has crossed the Amu Darya River, which means that they can launch an attack immediately.
"It will take some time before we want to attack. His Majesty's vanguard force only has about 100,000 soldiers and horses at most. We will besiege the city first and wait until His Majesty's main force arrives before we can start the attack."
Zhou Yu glanced at Yan Liang who was impatient, and couldn't help but smile. Even if he was anxious now, he was not in a hurry. Bakrat had just had an army of 100,000 people join him. Both morale and military strength were at their strongest. If the vanguard troops
Attacking when you come up is the behavior of a fool.
"How long do we have to wait? It will definitely take a long time for hundreds of thousands of troops to come over. I'm afraid that reinforcements will come from the south and Bakrat will be even more difficult to fight."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Yan Liang also frowned. After all, he was currently engaged in a war to destroy the country. The geographical location of Daxia Province was very important, and the Kushan Empire would never give up easily.
"Don't worry, what should come should have come a long time ago. It has been so long since the Battle of Daxia started. If the emperor of the Kushan Empire wanted to send people to rescue, they would have arrived long ago. They would definitely not delay it until now. Their people
Now we should be stationed in the Hindu Kush Mountains, after all, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is easier to defend than Daxia."
Facing Yan Liang's question, Zhou Yu still smiled slightly. If the emperor of Kushan really wanted to send troops, it would be impossible to wait until now. He was not worried about this problem at all.
"If that's the case, I can rest assured, isn't it just waiting?
I believe that the nightmare is about to come, and then let the people of Bakrat experience what it means to destroy the world."
Glancing at Zhou Yu, Yan Liang also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it doesn't matter if the Kushan reinforcements arrive, one more thing is worse than one less thing. As long as Daxia can be successfully captured, it will be a long time before the Kushan Empire is completely destroyed. It's not far.
