Li Badao learned from the news that the Duke above Earl Shen Bo was very powerful. There were actually more than a dozen Earls under his command, which meant that he was indirectly controlling There are more than a dozen cities, and these cities are all considered to be of good strength. After all, Li Badao had already realized when he followed Earl Shen Bo to fight that no matter what, Earl Shen Bo's strength was still quite good. Putting him aside Regardless of personal strength, in fact, such problems are quite normal. After all, as rulers, especially those who are not the first generation of rulers, when they are destined to take over a huge foundation from their fathers, It is destined that they cannot put too much effort into personal cultivation. After all, as a commander-in-chief, or as a ruler, they must be more responsible for their own power, which means they are more responsible for their own power. Leadership skills are needed.
It is precisely because of this that many leaders are not very strong in themselves, because they have more things to do, and naturally they have to expend more energy. Not everyone is a monster like Li Ba Dao. Li Ba Dao He can improve his strength while fighting, and even expand his territory continuously. But Li Badao can do this not only because of how powerful he is, but also because he has the help of the God of Time and Space. .In fact, Li Badao knows very well that if he cultivates purely by relying on his own talent, it is actually impossible to cultivate to the current state, at least it is impossible to achieve such achievements in such a period of time. Everything is It depends on chance, but Li Ba Dao's luck and talent coexist. Naturally, Li Ba Dao can grow to the level he is now, but others cannot.
As for Li Ba Dao, the enemies Li Ba Dao faces now are almost like this. The Duke above Count Shen Bo's head is called Han Shan, which is a good name, but Duke Han Shan's own strength is considered very good, and his subordinates The eleven earls are all different, and from the information Li Badao discovered, although the eleven earls are all subordinate to the Duke of Hanshan, in fact, there is only one kind of relationship between the duke and the earl. A subordinate relationship, unlike the pure master-servant relationship in Anyang in other Yuan Realms. In other words, although Duke Hanshan is very powerful now, it is not like the situation in other Yuan Realms, so This resulted in the fact that the power he could control did not reach a terrifying level. This is the situation Duke Hanshan is facing now, and obviously this is Li Badao's advantage.
After Li BaDao captured Count Shen Bo's territory, he changed the name of the city to Lanling City. Naturally, this was done to declare war on Duke Hanshan. After all, Li BaDao had no habit of working under others, and Now that the territory has been captured here, it is even more necessary to start to expand the strength of his territory bit by bit. Under the current situation, what Li Badao still needs to face is another situation, that is, in Hanshan Before the Duke captured it, he needed to unify the forces of other towns around his Lanling City. Li BaDao was also curious before that a count only had more than 30,000 Xuanshi soldiers, and Li BaDao would After they came under their control, they certainly allowed themselves to gain a firm foothold in the Xuanyue Realm, but in fact, Li Badao was only just getting started.
At this time, Li Ba Dao does not think that he can dominate here, not only because there is a Duke of Hanshan threatening him all the time, but even more importantly, Li Ba Dao has not yet He really won all the original power of Count Shen Bo into his own hands. Of course, the current Lanling City is controlled by Li Badao, but there are also more than a dozen towns around Lanling City. Between these towns and Lanling City There is more or less some distance, so Li Ba Dao has not seen the existence of these towns before. Of course, it is also because Li Ba Dao has become accustomed to his way of thinking. In his opinion, before fighting in any place, he must first conquer the town. The city has been captured, and only when this is achieved can the battle truly begin. However, the situation has changed more or less now, and it is obvious that there is a discrepancy here.
And it is precisely because of such changes that Li Badao is thinking of integrating those towns together at this time. In fact, such a thing is not that difficult to do, after all, Li Badao has already been used to it. After such a campaign, even a Yuanjie battlefield could be wiped out by him before, let alone the current situation. The power of the towns around Lanling City now exceeds Li Badao's expectations. It can be learned from the news that there are currently thirteen towns around Lanling City, which is very similar to the number of counts under Duke Hanshan. Before Li Badao killed Count Shen Bo, his men also had There is not much difference between the twelve earls. Of course, the power balance between the earls and the towns is naturally very large. Now Li Badao is trying to find a way to integrate the scattered towns.
Is it difficult to say that such a thing is difficult? Of course it is not easy to say that it is simple, because the news pointed out that among the thirteen towns, three have more than 30,000 troops, and the other ten towns also have troops within the same range. Between 20,000, that is to say, in the hands of the nobles controlled by the earl, if the troops in their hands are gathered together, the overall military strength can reach more than 200,000, or even close to 300,000. Such a mystery The strength of the Shi army greatly exceeded Li Ba Dao's previous imagination. After all, Li Ba Dao had already felt the difference here after seeing the situation in Lanling City. He realized that there were not many Xuan soldiers in this city. Yes, but looking at Count Shen Bo's property, Li Badao could analyze that Count Shen Bo's own financial resources are very strong, which means that he can definitely earn a lot of wealth.
But if you just rely on a city, it is definitely impossible to reach this level, and under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Li Ba Dao to really start to attack the wealthy families in the city. After all, Li Ba Dao has always been very wealthy. Understand one thing, it is very meaningless to kill the goose to lay eggs, unless it is in the invasion stage, which really requires a lot of resource support and the enemy needs to be completely defeated. In this case, of course, you can All the enemy's wealth has been concentrated in his own hands, but now Li Badao has controlled Lanling City in his own hands. Of course, under such circumstances, it is impossible to have any real thoughts of protection. Now these As long as the family can be protected and at the same time allowed to create huge wealth, Li Ba Dao can of course sit back and relax now.
This is what Li Ba Dao has always thought. What he values most is stability. In other Yuan Realms, there was no such emphasis on the development of caravans as in the Xuanyue Realm. Li Ba Dao needs to develop the business bit by bit.
Increase the number of teams and allow more people to participate in doing business. After all, only in this way can it be possible to truly increase the financial resources of one's own power. This is what Li Badao has always thought, that is
As long as one's own territory is truly stabilized, one's own power will definitely develop faster. As for the families under one's command or some generals like princes, are they sincerely surrendering to oneself?
There is absolutely no need to be suspicious of things. As long as you can truly develop your own power, you can definitely let them continue to do things for you.
No one is a fool. If they can develop safely and maintain their own power, no one will always want to go out to fight. In fact, the reason why Li Ba Dao is always fighting everywhere is just because of Li Ba Dao.
I hope to develop further on the existing basis, but during development, Li Ba Dao will definitely not let his Xuanshi army be truly destroyed. In so many years of battles, Li Ba Dao has always maintained
With this kind of thinking, the Yuan Realm that Li Ba Dao captured has now created a lot of wealth and attracted more Xuanshi. This situation is naturally what Li Ba Dao wants to see most, and it is also Li Ba Dao's biggest problem now.
Help. In fact, Li Badao has now begun to mobilize the troops of Xuanshi armies in other Yuan realms. Although they have not been dispatched yet, they already have tasks.
Li Ba Dao's idea is very simple. Naturally, he wants to seize more opportunities, and now he needs to get more help when he fights on any Yuanjie battlefield. For example, every time Li Ba Dao goes out to fight,
It seemed like he was the only one before, but every time he had to take out a lot of resources from various Yuan Realms. If something unexpected happens to Li Ba Dao now, once someone can get Li Ba Dao's storage bag,
Then that person can definitely become a millionaire in an instant, and be so rich that no one can believe it. After all, wealth actually needs to be accumulated. Even a lord may not have many resources at his disposal, but Li
Hegemon is a super leader. He has many territories under his control, and he pays more attention to the development of the caravan, so of course he can earn more resources.
Because of this, the resources Li Badao currently has are of course very amazing. Now, even if someone gets the resources in his storage bag, they can try to develop a force on their own, as long as the other party is not too powerful.
Silly, and if the strength is not too weak, then the basic mountain will not have any big problems. It is precisely because of this that at this time, Li Badao can be invincible in all Yuanjie battlefields. If
If there are no resources, no matter how powerful Li Ba Dao is, he cannot let his Xuanshi fight without resource supply. This situation may last for a more or less period of time, but it is certain
The only thing is that this time will definitely not last too long, and without the supply of resources, no Xuanshi army can be very powerful.
Li Badao's current thinking is very clear. Naturally, he wants to control the power of the towns around him first. The way to control them is of course to slap them first, and then wait until they are defeated.
It’s time to start giving them benefits. Such a situation is the best way to deal with it, and under the current situation, of course Li Ba Dao cannot let himself invest too much here. Li Ba Dao is not stingy. If necessary,
, it is impossible for him to keep his resources in his storage bag all the time. If it were not for his courage to invest, his battle in the Xuanlong Realm would not be so smooth. But now Li Badao is still interested in the entire Xuanyue Realm.
He is very worried. After all, he still doesn't know how big this place is, but now he just knows that the territory controlled by Duke Hanshan is even half the size of Xuanlong Realm.
This is a very astonishing discovery. If there was only one Duke of Hanshan in Xuanyue Realm, he might still be able to understand this situation. But even if Li Badao didn't know the situation here, he could still figure it out, that is
It is definitely impossible to have only one duke at this time. Otherwise, he cannot only have the title of a duke, but must have become king and hegemon. Although they are now quite a local emperor, even Li Badao is now
It's almost like this, but names have always been very particular. The reason why there is no so-called aristocratic system in Luotian Realm is because all the families there are very powerful. The super families in Taichu City
They are all existences that make people unclear about their details. Naturally, no one dares to claim emperor. But in other places, Li Badao does not think that they are like this.
When Li Ba Dao started arranging the Xuan Shi army to conquer the surrounding towns, he still sent Xuan Shi out to explore the news, and also needed to find out the overall situation of Duke Hanshan, because Li Ba Dao discovered that in
The situation here is completely different from that in other places. The battle here seems very simple, but once a full-scale battle begins, it is definitely impossible to succeed using the current method.
At least the battle here will never be too simple. After all, the territory here is really too big. Even if you simply look at the size of the Yuanjie territory, the vastness here has even exceeded Luotianjie.
Li Badao did not think that fighting in such a Yuan Realm was a simple and easy task.
So now Li Badao is still investigating, and he must make a complete battle plan. (To be continued)
