Li Badao is now very clear about his situation in Xuanyue Realm. The first thing is that he has just established a foothold in Xuanyue Realm, so naturally he needs to start planning in more aspects. The current battle plan is more It still prefers to expand to the surrounding towns. Of course, Li Badao is familiar with doing such things. However, many scholars in Lanling City do not quite understand some of Li Badao's methods. After all, in the past At that time, these towns existed in this form. In fact, it can be said that Count Shen Bo lived in this form. He only needed to provide a certain amount of Xuanjing or other resources to Duke Hanshan every year. Although There will be a lot of these resources, but at least this way Count Shen Bo can dominate his territory and be his local emperor in Lanling City.
In fact, Li Badao is also in such a state at this time. As long as he doesn't move around, he can actually survive here more often as a local emperor. Does Duke Hanshan even know about this place now? It’s not clear that the master has changed. After all, the entire Xuanyue Realm is really too big. Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible to control the situation in all the surrounding places so easily. In fact, this is what Li Badao is doing now. What feels very troublesome is that the situation in the entire Xuanyue Realm is very special. It is completely different from any Yuan Realm he has been in before. And based on this characteristic of the Xuanyue Realm now, Li Badao At the moment, I don't know how to gain a foothold here. You know, the biggest headache for Li Badao now is how he can start a war here.
The reason is very simple, because the entire Xuanyue Realm is too large. Li Badao can certainly become the real emperor in Lanling City, and can even eliminate the forces in the surrounding towns in a short period of time. Of course, such a thing is not difficult for him, but Li Badao's ultimate goal is not just to snatch a Lanling City, although he has to admit that as long as he can snatch the territory of Lanling City, and If the forces in the surrounding towns are concentrated at the same time, it can be regarded as controlling a lot of troops. Now Li Badao has noticed that as long as the forces of more towns can be concentrated in Xuanyue Realm, Even if it is equivalent to controlling the military strength of a state and county in Yuan Realm like Xuanlong Realm, such a situation is naturally extremely rare, but the problem lies in the subsequent battle.
Under such circumstances, Li Badao naturally needs to think more about how to fight in the future. After all, just thinking about the territory of Duke Hanshan is enough to make people excited. Count Shen Bo is equivalent to a person in Xuanlong Realm. The strength of the lords of the prefectures and counties, and the Duke of Hanshan has twelve earls. It is actually unclear how many marquis there are. Maybe there are several earls among the many earls who are their higher commanders, but now The troops controlled by these twelve earls alone are at least millions, or even millions. If this is really the case, as long as there are three or four Hanshan Dukes in Xuanyue Realm, With such an existence, the entire Xuanyue Realm's military strength will be extremely powerful, even surpassing that of Luotian Realm. Such a thing is of course very shocking. An army of tens of millions of Xuanshi is really terrifying.
Even if Li Badao was born in Luotian Realm, he really couldn't imagine what the Yuan Realm with tens of millions of Xuanshi troops would be like. And under such circumstances, with the existence of so many earls, marquises and even dukes,
Naturally, the Xuanyue Realm can be regarded as an existence with an iron wall. Even if the news that Li Badao detected comes back and proves his guess, then will such a Yuan Realm even begin?
The attack is already an unknown thing. Under such circumstances, of course it is impossible to really have no worries at all. Li Badao is even beginning to worry now. Once the entrance to the Yuan Realm where they are located is blocked by the Xuan Yue Realm.
If anyone knows, will the Xuanshi from the Xuanyue Realm directly attack the Luotian Realm? After all, it is possible to do so with the overall strength that the Xuanyue Realm currently possesses.
Now Li Ba Dao has begun to become cautious, so Li Ba Dao is actually quite tolerant when he conquers the forces in these towns. Li Ba Dao actually just wants them to change their minds, even though they are also surrendering to
himself, but Li Ba Dao doesn't want these people to just give him some resources every year. This situation is not in line with Li Ba Dao's development. Although he has always been pursuing stability, he hopes that the power of his Xuanshi army can be provided according to the requirements.
Resources are the main method, and then troops are provided as a supplement to develop. However, the problem is that if these town forces only give themselves resources, then even the resources they get will definitely not be very many. At least, it is impossible for Li Badao to be satisfied in
Everything is obtained here. And more importantly, Li Badao cannot get more troops at all now.
Li Badao's battle in any Yuanjie battlefield is to supplement Xuanshi, because Li Badao will need to challenge Taichu City at that time, and when he wants to challenge Taichu City, in addition to ensuring that the number of his Yuanjie is large enough and sufficient
In addition to stability, another more important situation is that Li Badao still needs to mobilize at least one million Xuanshi troops to challenge. This is a very certain rule. The princess of any state or county, even
It can be said that any force in Luotian Realm can challenge Taichu City, but the problem now is that if you want to challenge Taichu City, you first need to complete the Taichu Challenge, and the Taichu Challenge means that challengers need to challenge Taichu City.
Of course, when all the wealthy families fight against each other, they don't have to fight with all their strength. Instead, each wealthy family sends an army of Xuanshi, forming millions of Xuanshi.
It is precisely with this kind of strength that we can challenge Taichu City, but even simply completing the challenge is not enough, because the battle of a million-level Xuanshi army is not so easy to complete. First of all, it needs to consume a lot of resources.
And such consumption is definitely not easy to come by, which requires a huge test of the challenger's financial resources, because all the wealthy families who participated in the Taichu challenge also worked very hard, because once they were defeated
If the challenger wins, the final result will naturally be that one wealthy family needs to be eliminated, and such a situation must be unacceptable to all wealthy families. It is precisely because of this that those wealthy families must be needed in this situation.
You have to work extremely hard, so the difficulty of that battle is actually beyond the imagination of many people, and even Li Badao is not very clear about it.
After all, it is very exciting to challenge Taichu, but not everyone dares to do so. In fact, even the last wealthy family to enter Taichu City was hundreds of years ago, and that time back then
It is said that the battle was very fierce, and the wealthy families also encountered more challenges after settling in, and finally managed to gain a foothold. All of this must be based on strong strength.
That's why Li Ba Dao is so eager for military strength now. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Li Ba Dao to directly mobilize all the troops in the Yuan Realm battlefield to challenge Taichu. After all, such a thing is definitely not that easy.
Once Li Ba Dao mobilizes all his troops, it means that his Yuanjie battlefield will lose its stability, and it will be difficult to develop again.
After all, resources are something that people can easily envy. No matter how powerful the Demon-hunting Army Xuanshi army is, once the strength of the Demon-hunting Army Xuanshi army is not enough, the final situation will definitely be suffered by the local Yuanjie.
A counterattack by the rebel forces in the Yuan Dynasty is bound to happen, so Li Badao does not dare to touch the Xuanshi army in his Yuanjie battlefield now, because whether it is the Xuanlong Realm or the Daliao Realm, they are only temporary.
It's just stable. Under such circumstances, apart from constantly drawing troops from the Eternal World, Li Badao really can't mobilize too many Xuanshi armies. However, the special situation in the Xuanlong Realm also makes
The Eternal Realm is now almost completely responsible for the Xuanlong Realm. This situation cannot be changed in a short time, so Li Badao has almost no one available.
It is precisely because of this that Li Badao is now so intent on capturing Xuanyue Realm, at least to open a gap first. Only to this extent can he be able to use Xuanyue Realm's power in the subsequent war.
situation, and this kind of thing is also what Li Badao is very worried about now, that is, Xuanyue Realm is certainly a place worth conquering, but at the same time, Xuanyue Realm is also a very dangerous place. If the battle here cannot be truly
If you meet your own requirements, it will actually be difficult to gain anything good. Especially now that the territory here is too big, and one thing Li Badao thinks of is that the territories of the various earls are really very different.
, there may even be a Marquis, but no one has come back to inquire about it. This situation naturally makes Li Badao become timid, and there is nothing he can do about it.
But now Li Ba Dao is showing no mercy at all in his battle to conquer the power of surrounding towns. If the power of these towns does not want to be used by Li Ba Dao, then their fate will basically be to be massacred.
, after all, Li Ba Dao didn’t come here to play, he came here to conquer. Since the forces in these towns are unwilling to surrender, then of course Li Ba Dao can only beat them until they surrender. Although Li Ba Dao now seems to have a strong military
There are not many, and there are even a few towns that are powerful enough to challenge Li BaDao in Lanling City. However, such problems are not a problem. As long as it is a battle within the region, such things are in Li BaDao's heart.
It didn't count at all. What Li Badao was thinking about now was how to integrate more counts' power in the future. This was the top priority.
And it was precisely because Li Ba Dao had such thoughts that Li Ba Dao now wanted to test Duke Hanshan's intentions more. While Li Ba Dao was waiting for the news, he gradually learned about a situation, that is There are really three marquises in the current Duke of Hanshan's territory. It's just because those marquises themselves are in charge of a city and are actually the territories of the earls, so there are no special marquises. And Duke of Hanshan He is also a marquis, and Earl Shen Bo is directly subordinate to Duke Hanshan. This situation has of course caused Li Badao's judgment of the situation here to be biased. The question Li Badao is thinking about now is how to go about it. Battle, because the distance between each city is really too big, so big that it seems to give Li Badao the feeling of crossing the Yuan Realm.
In fact, simply being big is not terrible, but the problem is that if Li Badao always wants to fight in this way, even if he becomes a marquis in the end and can control the troops of three or four counts, but in this way It is equivalent to having four to five cities under his command, and the situation of these cities itself is not that stable, and the most important point is that there are towns around the cities. How to integrate the power of the towns is a problem. After all, they are far away from Taiyuan, so there is no way for them to completely control all the troops. And once Li Badao needs to go on an expedition, it will become a problem that no one will guard his lair, because then even the hunters will No matter how powerful the Demon Army Xuanshi is, once he goes out to fight, the Xuanshi armies from other cities will come to attack his lair. This is a very troublesome thing. It is precisely because of this that Li Ba Dao is now There is no good opportunity to launch an offensive here, because there is really no way to start.
And now Li Badao also understands why Duke Hanshan has never taken action. In fact, this must be what he is worried about. Once he attacks him, the other marquises will attack him if they have any ideas. As a result, the entire Xuan Dynasty is now The Moon Realm has already fallen into an endless loop. It is precisely because there are more Xuanshi armies that cannot be truly mobilized, and there is no way to really start a war with each other. Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for people to have anything. There is too much room for display. It can be imagined that the people here are not without ambition, but because they can only directly control the power of the surrounding towns at most, it is really too difficult to capture the city.
Li Badao suddenly found himself in a dead situation with almost no way to solve it. (To be continued)
