Time flies and we enter the new year in a blink of an eye.
Maiti City is undergoing tremendous changes, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day. Today, Maiti City, steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, tofu, etc. have all been spread, and this is all caused by Wang Can.
The specialty of Shu became popular in Maiti City, and not only among the military, every household began to make and eat it.
After all, it is not difficult to make and the procedure is not complicated.
The most gratifying thing is that the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the army is rapidly improving.
Once upon a time, the Maiti City army only had 3,000 people. Today, the number of soldiers in the army has expanded to more than 8,000. With day after day training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is rapidly improving.
At the beginning, the soldiers performed running training without weight-bearing. As the soldiers' physical fitness improved, the amount of training was gradually increased, and finally the soldiers put on armor and performed weight-bearing training.
Soldiers also learned the art of battle formation.
The quality and abilities of military generals are also improving rapidly after training.
Everything is developing for the better.
In addition, weapons in the craftsman's workshop are also being produced continuously. However, everything in the craftsman's workshop is closed, and the forging method is strictly prohibited from being exposed.
As the lord of Mati City, Nibru was extremely happy to see all this.
Because everything is developing for the better.
Everything is beneficial to Maiti City.
As the city lord of Mati City, he was honored. Now in Nibru, he would go to the craftsman's workshop every day to check the weapons production in the craftsman's workshop in order to prepare for the next war.
On this day, Nibru inspected the craftsman's workshop and returned from the craftsman's workshop, ready to take a breath. However, as soon as he entered the study, before he could take a breath and rest, Mandras entered in a hurry.
Mandras looked serious and said solemnly: "City Lord, I just received news from the sentinel that the mission from Mendela City is here. In three days at most, the mission from Mendela City will arrive."
"The mission from Mendela City is here?"
Nibru frowned and said, "What is the mission from Mendela City doing?"
Mendela City is a city in the Kingdom of Magadha. It is slightly stronger than Maiti City and is located to the east of Maiti City. In terms of geographical location, Maiti City is equivalent to the barrier to the west of Mendela City because there is Maiti City.
As long as Ticheng is here, Rhodes City cannot invade Mundela City.
Only when the city of Maiti falls, the city of Mendela will be in trouble.
While Mati City was resisting Rhodes City, Mendela City sent people many times, trying to persuade Nibru to allow Mati City and Mendela City to merge and resist Rhodes City together.
What made Nibru furious was that every time the people from Mendela City came to Maiti City, they only mentioned the merger and never sent troops to support Maiti City to resist the attack of Rhodes City.
In fact, as long as the city of Mendela also sends troops to support the city of Maiti and resists the army of Rhodes City together with the city of Maiti, although the city of Maiti cannot defeat the city of Rhodes, it will not be defeated repeatedly.
Oppress.
Nibru knew very well that the city lords of Mendela City ostensibly joined forces, and then the two became co-lords and governed together. But in fact, once merged, Maiti City became part of Mendela City.
This is killing with a soft knife and the mildest annexation strategy.
What is gratifying is that although Mendela City did not send troops to support, it did not add insult to injury. It only sent a mission to lobby every year, hoping that Nibru would agree.
At the beginning of the new year, Mendela's delegation arrived.
Mandela said in a deep voice: "Lord, don't you know what the Lord of Mandela, Oded, is thinking? He is obsessed with annexing our city of Maiti, fighting against the city of Rhodes together, and even wants to take over the city of Rhodes."
Oded is the lord of Mendela City.
Odd is about the same age as Nibru, both in their prime.
Nibru said: "Who is the envoy from Mendela City this time?"
Mandras said: "Odd came in person."
Nibru raised his eyebrows, very surprised. He did not expect that Odd would come in person. In the past, Odd only sent officials, but this time he came in person. It seemed that he could not wait to annex the city of Maiti.
Nibru said: "Manderas, our current strength is not weak. In fact, we can completely reject Oud's request and expel him. What do you think we should do against Oud?"
The former city of Maiti was slightly weaker than the city of Mendela.
Now, it is much stronger.
So Nibru had an idea and did not intend to treat Oude according to his previous attitude, and he was not willing to compromise with Oude.
Mandras thought for a while and said: "City Lord, the situation in Maiti City is changing rapidly every day. Once we receive Oud, then I am afraid that everything about Maiti City will not be hidden. By then, will Oud have any
What do you think? Even when we are at war with Rhodes City, will Oud send troops to take advantage of the situation?"
Nibru suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean. Oud is extremely conceited and wants to annex the city of Mati. When he sees that the city of Mati is powerful, he may take advantage of it when we fight the city of Rhodes.
, weakening our strength."
"The city lord is wise!"
Mandras nodded solemnly.
Mandela did not have a good impression of the people in Mendela City. Although the people in Mendela City did not take advantage of the situation, nor did they add insult to injury, every time they came to Maiti City to mention the military alliance, Mandela had long been dismayed.
Si was impatient.
Mandras wouldn't even want to see Oded if he couldn't offend him.
Nibru said: "In this case, the situation is complicated and a little difficult to handle."
Mandras said: "Should we invite military advisors to discuss it?"
"That's fine!"
Nibru nodded.
Nibru greatly admired Wang Can's ability.
Nibulu called the soldiers and asked them to invite Wang Can to the city lord's mansion. Not long after, Wang Can entered the study, bowed to Nibulu and said, "The city lord is calling urgently, what's the matter?"
Nibru said: "Commander, please sit down first."
After Wang Can sat down, Nibru said: "The situation is like this. The envoy from Mendela City east of Maiti City has come. The leader is Ode, the lord of Mendela City. They are coming
The intention of Maiti City is to persuade me to submit and merge Maiti City with Mendela City."
After briefly explaining the situation, Nibru elaborated on it.
After Wang Can listened, he smiled slightly and asked: "I understand the general situation. What is the city lord's doubts?"
Nibru said: "In the past, the strength of the city of Maiti was not strong. It had to fight with Oud to stabilize Oud. But now, the city of Mati is no longer afraid of Oud. Oud is already on the way. We want to meet
Where’s Odd?”
"Of course I want to see you!"
Wang Can smiled slightly and said: "In my opinion, this is an opportunity to annex Mendela City."
"Annexation?" Nibru frowned and said, "The military advisor's intention is to capture Oud while Oud comes to Maiti City, and then take the opportunity to seize Mendela City."
Wang Can said: "That's what it means."
Nibru shook his head and said: "With our strength, it is possible to capture Mendela City, but in the current situation, we must use all our strength to resist Rhodes City. Suppose we attack
Mundela City has failed and the situation is at a stalemate. If the army from Rhodes City comes to kill us again, we will be attacked from both sides and are in danger of destruction."
Wang Can confidently said: "The city lord of Mendela City has been handed over to the city lord, and is at the mercy of the city lord. If the city lord of Mendela City is in his hands, he cannot annex Mendela City, and Maiti City is too weak.
Already."
"Now there are still several months before the war with Rhodes City begins."
"This period will be enough to capture the city of Mendela."
"This can be considered military training."
"Since Oude has bad intentions, we don't need to compromise with Oude. We can directly capture Oude and use Oude's identity to make a forced landing in Mendela City and win this battle."
Wang Can suggested: "City Lord, it depends on your plan whether to accept what I said or not."
Nibru said: "Military advisor, although Oude has not sent troops to rescue Maiti City in recent years, it has not added insult to injury. Now we directly imprison Oude and then attack Mendela City. What we are doing is unethical and has no principles and bottom lines. It seems that
It’s too insidious.”
"insidious?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "There is nothing sinister about a confrontation on the battlefield. As long as victory is achieved, it is all about military strategy. What's more, between countries and cities, there is no so-called friendship, only the most direct interests.
.”
"Annexing the city of Mendela is beneficial to the city of Maiti and is feasible, so it is worth doing."
"That's what I think about."
"There is an old saying in the Kingdom of Shu, which is that God will take the blame if you don't take it. God puts the opportunity in front of you, but if you don't seize it, you will be hurt. Now Od takes the initiative to send it to the door, if you don't win him this time
, when he discovers everything about Maiti City, Aude will definitely take action."
"Strike first and strike later to control others."
"Once Odd brings his people back to Mendela City and he takes action, Maiti City will fall into a passive position. At that time, if the army of Rhodes City comes to kill again, it will be attacked from both sides and threatened from both sides."
Wang Can said: "If we continue to break up, we will suffer chaos. The city lord must take this opportunity to capture Oud and swallow up the city of Mendela. With the city of Mendela, it will be easy for the city of Maiti to resist the city of Rhodes."
Already."
While speaking, Wang Can was also sizing up Nibru. Although his suggestion could capture Mendela City, it was also a test. It was a test of Nibru's character, because such a strategy had flaws.
This strategy lacks morality.
As an envoy, Oud was sent to the city of Mati. As far as Oud himself is concerned, he came under the banner of an envoy and did not infringe on the city of Mati. If he directly captures Oud, it would be equivalent to abandoning morality.
The embodiment of profit-seeking.
Wang Can wanted to see what Nibru would choose.
The expression on Nibru's face changed, and there was a complicated expression on his face. He was also a little shaken in his heart. After all, taking Oud is equivalent to taking half of Mendela City, which also involves the future of Maiti City.
He is unwilling to make rash decisions about matters.
However, this goes against Niburu's code of conduct.
