The army returned to the city of Maiti, and the people were excited, and Nibru was proud of himself. He listened to the cheers of the people along the way, and saw many people crying with joy, and he was filled with emotion.
It is not easy for Maiti City to survive to this point.
Wang Can followed Nibru, but said nothing and didn't say much. Now that he has established a firm foothold in Maiti City and gained Nibru's trust, he will have time and energy to recruit his confidants, and then
It is extremely difficult to find Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Gan Ning and others. Relying on him alone is like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, what surprised Wang Can was that after Nibru entered the city, he introduced Wang Can as he walked, made Wang Can's achievements public, and also revealed Wang Can's identity.
For a time, Wang Can's prestige rose steadily.
In the eyes of the people of Maiti City, Wang Can is like a god and Buddha who came to save Maiti City.
The people of Maiti City are simple and honest by nature.
These people often suffered hardships. They were attacked by Rhodes City and their life was extremely difficult. Now, Wang Can commanded the army to win. The people were grateful and thanked Wang Can one after another.
As a result, Nibru became a supporting role.
This surprised Wang Can. In fact, Nibru completely ignored himself and instead helped Wang Can. This kind of broad-mindedness was very rare. Even in Shu, there were not many people like Nibru.
Entering the military camp, the troops were stationed.
Nibulu took Wang Can and Haji back to the city lord's palace.
Nibulu summoned the officials of Maiti City again, introduced Wang Can again, and talked about Wang Can's achievements, which caused a sensation. The army from Rhodes City came to kill, Maiti City was shaken, people were panicked, and some officials
After leaving, now with the help of Wang Can, Maiti City has escaped from the disaster, so the officials thanked Wang Can one after another.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed.
In the study.
Nibru, Haji and Wang Can sat down.
The three of them chatted very relaxedly.
At this time, Haji took the initiative and said: "Brother, Gandila has been captured alive and the army of Rhodes City has been captured. The news has not been sent back to Rhodes City for the time being. Maiti City is safe. But after the news was sent back to Rhodes City
, the city lord of Rhodes City has sent troops to kill us, and our place is in danger. What strategies do you have to deal with this?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Now that we have defeated Gandila, we have enough time to prepare. Just how far is the distance from Maiti City to Rhodes City? How long does it take to reach Rhodes City?
.”
Haji said: "A month's journey!"
Wang Can said: "The one-way journey takes about a month, and it takes two months to go back and forth. Including the army from Rhodes City coming to kill, the speed of the journey will be even slower. Calculated in this way, it is roughly estimated that three
The attack on Maiti City should take place in three months. I have three months to prepare. Even if Rhodes City uses all its troops in the next battle, I will still be confident to resist it."
When Nibulu heard this, his breathing suddenly became rapid and he said: "How does the military advisor plan to resist?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "It sounds simple. Naturally, we need to rectify Maiti City, recruit soldiers, train soldiers, and then innovate weapons to prepare for the next battle."
"That's too broad," Nibru said.
Wang Can said: "Although it is broad, it has direction."
Nibru thought for a while and said: "How many more soldiers do the military advisor plan to recruit?"
Wang Can said: "There are now three thousand elite soldiers in the army. Counting the captured soldiers, after reorganizing the prisoners, there will be at least more than four thousand troops. I plan to recruit another six thousand elite soldiers, making up 10,000 elite soldiers. Ten thousand elite soldiers are enough to resist Luo Luo.
Zicheng’s attack.”
Nibulu frowned and said: "But the weapons and food for ten thousand elite soldiers are a huge burden. Today's Maiti City can maintain three thousand elite soldiers, which is already quite difficult. It is really difficult to maintain ten thousand elite soldiers.
It’s too difficult.”
Haji sighed: "Xian brother, there is indeed no food in the city lord's mansion."
Wang Can said: "Are there no wealthy merchants in the city? We are looking for wealthy merchants to borrow food to cope with the upcoming war."
"Disaster!"
Haji shook his head and said: "These people have always been stingy and it is impossible to borrow food. When there is a war in Maiti City, they are the first to escape. After Maiti City is safe, they come back. Alas, no
It’s easy to handle.”
Wang Can's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Such a thing is too simple.
"Tap! Tread!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged scribe strode in. This man was wearing a gray robe, with a big beard under his chin, and was extremely slender and burly. This man's name was Mandras, a Nepali man.
Buru's confidant. After entering, he saluted Niburu, and then saluted Wang Can.
Nibru introduced Mandras to Wang Can, and then said: "Mandras, what are you doing here?"
Mandras took out a roll of parchment and said: "City Lord, when the city of Maiti was about to be attacked, I discovered that some officials and wealthy businessmen in the city were trying to surrender to the enemy. They had sent people to deliver letters.
They went out, but were intercepted by low-ranking officials. How should we deal with the Rhodes City officials who want to surrender?"
Nibru glanced at it briefly and frowned.
Many of the contents on the parchment are from the more important officials of Maiti City.
As for the wealthy businessmen, there is nothing to blame.
As soon as Haji heard this, he clenched his fists and said viciously: "These damn guys deserve to be killed. They are eating the salary of Maiti City and taking the money of Maiti City, and they want to surrender to the enemy. It's simply ridiculous.
Damn it. City Lord, I suggest that they all be killed. Not only must they be killed, but they must also be made public so that they can be reviled by thousands of people."
Nibru clenched his fists, and a stern look flashed across his eyes.
However, Nibru shook his head.
Once a mass killing is carried out, the foundation of Maiti City will be shaken, because the current Maiti City cannot bear such great turbulence and must develop stably in order to lay the foundation for the next step of resisting Rhodes City.
This is a major premise.
Nibulu looked at Wang Can and asked, "Commander, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "This is simple."
Upon hearing this, Nibulu changed his mind and said, "In that case, how about I leave this matter to the military advisor?"
Wang Can said: "No problem!"
Although Wang Can simply agreed, Wang Can also had some doubts in his heart. Because his current identity is only Nibru's strategist, and he only assists Nibru. To put it bluntly, he is the one who gives advice. But Nibru
Simply leaving the matter to him is tantamount to letting him handle the matter, which is tantamount to delegating power.
Nibru handed the parchment to Wang Can. After a cursory glance, Wang Can saw the lists on the parchment and asked: "Manderas, all the people involved in the case on these lists are collaborators with the enemy."
Do you have any evidence of your guilt?"
"have!"
Mandras gritted his teeth and replied.
He remembered such things clearly.
Mandras was also extremely resentful towards these people who surrendered to the enemy, and wished to kill them all. But when it came to such matters, Mandras did not dare to deal with them alone.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Now that there is evidence, it will be easier to handle. Now you have to do two things."
Mandras said: "Please give me the military advisor's instructions."
As Nibru's confidant, Mandras knew that this battle was all planned by Wang Can and had great trust in Wang Can's wisdom. So when Wang Can gave the order, he did not hesitate or resist.
Wang Can said: "First, bring all the evidence of everyone's crimes to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. I will be of great use; second, invite everyone to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion."
Mandras said: "Commander, are these two things the only thing?"
"yes!"
Wang Can nodded.
Mandras said: "Don't you kill them?"
Wang Can said with a smile: "Sometimes, killing people can't solve the problem. Especially today's Maiti City, although it defeated Gandila and temporarily defeated the army of Rhodes City, but next, Maiti City still has
There is a tough battle, and we have to face the army of Rhodes City. So next, I have to prepare for the next battle in Maiti City."
"yes!"
When Mandras heard this, he immediately agreed excitedly.
As a confidant of Nibru, Mandras also knew that there would be a war next. Even a fool would understand that after taking Gandila, he would definitely face a counterattack from Rhodes City. Wang Can had a solution.
That's the best result.
"I resign from my humble position!"
Mandras handed over his hand, turned around and walked out.
When Mandras was about to reach the gate, Wang Can suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Mandras stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else the military advisor has to do?"
Wang Can asked: "I just forgot a question. On this list on the parchment, who are the officials of Maiti City and which are the wealthy businessmen and powerful people of Maiti City? This is what I must know. Please tell me one by one.
.”
"yes!"
Mandras immediately stepped forward and circled Wang Can's personnel.
Then, Mandras turned and left.
Wang Can looked at the people on the list. There were nine people in total who were wealthy businessmen, and twelve people were officials in Maiti City. There were a total of twenty-one collaborators with the enemy. Of course, Wang Can knew the situation in Maiti City, so he must
I don't know about these people, there must be more people, but Wang Can doesn't know, and there is no need to pursue more people.
Nibru was a little confused and asked: "Strategic Advisor, why did you put the evidence and people aside?" He really couldn't understand Wang Can's handling, after all, it involved the subsequent battle with Rhodes City.
Haji also had doubts and did not understand Wang Can's intentions.
Wang Can smiled and said: "City Lord, let me keep it a secret for a while, and we will find out later. This time, the City Lord will definitely not be disappointed."
Nibru said: "I believe in military advisors."
Perhaps it was the previous wars or Wang Can's temperament that made Nibru trust Wang Can and believe that Wang Can could handle the collusion between officials and wealthy businessmen.
Wang Can said: "Thank you City Lord for your trust."
Dealing with collaborating with the enemy is too simple for Wang Can. When he was in Shu, Wang Can could handle more complex matters with ease. The matter in front of him was completely killing a pig with a sledgehammer. (To be continued)
