Wang Can turned to look at Nibru and suggested: "City Lord, since we have captured Odd and are not planning to kill him, we can take Odd into custody. Before our decisive battle with Rhodes City, Odd was detained in
City Lord’s Mansion, and released the news that Odd is a guest in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
"I see."
Nibulu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He understood Wang Can's intention, which was to deliberately make the city of Mendela fear Nibru. As long as Oud was in the hands of Nibru, the city of Mendela would not dare to send troops because it was worried about Oud's life. In this way, the whole city would be afraid of Nibru.
It solved Nibru's intention not to attack the city of Mendela, and also solved the possibility of Oud leaking the news.
Nibru was happy in his heart and immediately ordered: "Come here, escort Odd to the city lord's palace. No one is allowed to visit."
The soldiers were ordered to escort Odd back to the city.
This scene fell into the eyes of countless people, and the people immediately cheered. They saw with their own eyes Oude's murder, and also saw Wang Can's efforts to turn the tide. If Wang Can hadn't fought back forcefully, O'De would have committed the murder.
Nibru took the army and turned back to the city.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the guests and hosts took their seats.
The expression on Nibru's face became serious. He looked at Wang Can and asked: "Commander, we have detained Oud. Although Oud's absence in a short period of time will have little impact. But Oud's absence for a long time will not have much impact.
, will also make Mendela City suspicious. What if the army of Mendela City comes to kill?"
Wang Can smiled when he heard this.
Nibru finally understood. Wang Can had previously suggested detaining Odd, and Nibru directly agreed without considering the shortcomings of detaining Odd. Only after returning to the city lord's palace did Nibru figure out the problem.
In fact, this does have flaws.
Once the city of Mendela ignores the safety of Oud and leads its army to the city of Maiti, then the city of Maiti will be in crisis.
Wang Can smiled slightly and explained: "City Lord, the best way to solve the threat to Mendela City is to use Oud to annex Mendela City in one go. With our current strength, we are enough to defeat the army of Mendela City.
, took the city of Mundela as its own."
"inappropriate!"
Nibru shook his head and refused.
Directly attacking the city of Mendela would have lost his moral bottom line, because he had no reason to send troops.
Wang Can sighed in his heart when he heard this.
Nibru is good at everything, but he is too rigid in formality and too rigid. But Wang Can then thought about it, and it was precisely because Nibru had no ambitions and had a bottom line in doing things that Wang Can stayed in Maiti City.
If Nibru was a careerist who wanted to annex other cities, Wang Can would not help Nibru.
This is where the contradiction lies.
Wang Can not only wanted Nibru to have the power to change things and take over Mendela City in one go, but on the other hand, he also wanted Nibru to have a bottom line in doing things and not have ambitions for expansion.
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "City Lord, since we have detained Oud, there is no need to worry. We have Oud in our hands, so even if Mendela City sends troops to kill us, it is not a big deal. As long as Oud is in hand, it is enough."
Make the city of Mundela a rat-proof weapon."
"I hope so!"
Nibru nodded.
In the current situation, Nibru is somewhat unable to do what he wants.
Wang Can continued: "The matter of Oud is as it is for the time being. Just keep him in custody. What we have to do now is to continue to train soldiers and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. In addition, we must forge more weapons and actively prepare for war."
Nibru nodded again.
Wang Can talked about other political matters and then left.
After handling Oud's affairs, Wang Can was free again. He would go to the craftsman's workshop from time to time to check the progress of weapon forging, and occasionally go to the city lord's mansion to handle government affairs for Nibru.
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of March.
At this time, spring flowers are blooming in Maiti City, and the weather is very refreshing.
In the past few months, Wang Can also tried to find Cao Cao, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others, but they were all found without any news. Wang Can had no choice but to wait.
…
To the west of Maiti City, Rhodes City.
Rhodes City is a large city in the southwest of Magadha. It has smooth sea and land traffic, many merchant ships, and a very developed economy. It is precisely the prosperous economy that provides Rhodes City with enough money to support itself.
Raise enough troops.
The lord of Lodz was named Fedeli, who was in his early thirties and in his prime. He inherited the position of lord of Lodz at the age of fifteen. Because he succeeded to the throne at a young age, powerful ministers and relatives in the country were involved in politics.
For three years after Fedeli took the throne, he never interfered in government affairs and allowed his powerful ministers and relatives to handle government affairs. However, three years later, he provoked a fight between his relatives and powerful ministers, causing his relatives to win against the powerful ministers. In the end, Fedeli eliminated his relatives in one fell swoop and completely
Take control of the city of Rhodes.
As the city's mayor for nearly twenty years, Fedeli was very diligent and diligent. Under Fedeli's vigorous reforms, Rhodes City became increasingly powerful, even annexing several nearby small towns, and continued to grow. Even some large cities,
Also captured by Fedeli.
Today's Rhodes City is already a giant.
There are nearly 30,000 troops stationed in the city of Rhodes.
In addition, there are soldiers stationed in other places, and the total number of troops in Rhodes City will not be less than 50,000.
This is an extremely terrifying force.
Looking around, no one can beat Rhodes City.
In Fedeli's heart, he even had the idea of replacing the Magadha Kingdom. After all, the current strength of the Magadha Kingdom is also constantly weakening, and its strength is not as strong as before.
In the study.
Fedeli is attending to official business.
In the city of Rhodes today, there is no Shu paper, and many texts are engraved on wooden boards or even wooden blocks, so a little bit of content will take up a considerable amount of space.
"Boom! Boom!"
A knock on the door sounded outside the study.
"Come in!"
Fedeli put down his pen and gave an order.
There was just a creak, and the door was pushed open, and a thin old man, about fifty years old, walked in. In the old man's hand, he was leaning on a cane. The beard under his chin hung down to his chest, and his back was stooped.
He looked very old.
His name was Morocca, and he was Fedeli's teacher and Fedeli's adviser. Although Fedeli managed the city of Lodz, it was Morocca who took the credit, but it was Morocca who was strategizing behind the scenes.
As soon as Fedeli saw Morocca coming, he quickly stood up, picked up the wooden stool, and said: "Teacher, please sit down!"
Morojia bowed and said: "Thank you City Lord!"
Fedeli said: "Teacher, there is no need to be polite. I wonder why the teacher came?"
Morojia's face became serious and he said seriously: "I just received the news from Maiti City. The six thousand elite army led by Gandila was wiped out and all the soldiers were captured."
Federley frowned slightly and said, "How could this be?"
Morojia said: "For specific details, I heard that a man named Wang Can commanded this battle and defeated Gandila. I have not found out how powerful Wang Can is. In my opinion, Gan
Dilla must have underestimated the enemy and was ambushed."
Fedeli said: "What does the teacher think we should do?"
Moraga said: "I believe that the city of Maiti must be wiped out, the revelation of Nibru be captured, and all the people of Rhodes City must be given an explanation. If the city of Maiti is not taken, then the city of Rhodes will have to build up a
Our prestige will completely collapse. The city of Rhodes will never tolerate provocation or allow anyone to trample on its prestige.”
Fedeli asked: "Who can be the general?"
Morojia said: "Gandila was careless and defeated. I think that Abbasi can be allowed to fight. Abbasi comes from a family of generals, and he is prudent and good at defense. With Abbasi leading the army, it is enough to ensure the victory of this battle.
"
Federico thought for a while and said seriously: "Teacher, when it comes to the reputation of Rhodes City, I am going to go out personally. Nibru has been resisting these years. If Rhodes City hadn't opened up, it would have only harvested the money and food of Maiti City.
, Nibru was dead a long time ago. Now Nibru has captured Gandila, which cannot be forgiven. This time, the city of Mati must be completely annihilated."
Moraga suggested: "The city lord has the important responsibility of Rhodes City, so it is not appropriate to go on an expedition in person."
Fedeli said: "Teacher, there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done. Regarding the current matter, I have to go out personally to completely feel at ease. This time I go out personally, and I will also take Abbasi with me. Abbasi is in the army.
, and with the protection of my imperial army, it is enough to ensure safety. Furthermore, although the city of Maiti has made plans to welcome Gandila, its strength is limited after all. This time we mobilized a large army to go to war, with our strength, we can crush Maiti.
Ticheng."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Morojia had to say: "Since the city lord is determined to go on an expedition, I have nothing to persuade. The city lord must be careful when he goes to Maiti City, because according to the news, Wang Can is from a mysterious ancient country in the far east.
.”
Federico laughed and said: "No matter where he comes from, he will definitely lose."
After a pause, Fedeli said: "While I was personally conquering Maiti City, I bothered my teacher to handle government affairs."
Morojia said: "Old minister, I should do my best to live up to the high expectations of the city lord."
After deciding to send out doctors, Morojia said: "City Lord, how do you explain the matter about Gandila to the courtiers and the people of Rhodes City? If this matter is not handled well, it will easily lead to turmoil."
When Fedeli heard this, his eyes turned cold.
The city of Rhodes has been victorious for many years and has never lost a single defeat. But now, because of Gandila's defeat, the city's prestige has been ruined, which makes Fedeli very unhappy.
Fedeli said in a deep voice: "Gandila failed by underestimating the enemy. Since he lost, he must be responsible for the failure of this battle. The teacher immediately drafted an order to deal with Gandila and spread the news of Gandila's defeat by underestimating the enemy.
Go down."
"yes!"
Moraga understood Fedeli's intention.
Gandila became the scapegoat, the one who took the blame for this battle.
Fedeli arranged other matters, and after handing everything over to Morocco, Fedeli called Abbasi and asked Abbasi to mobilize troops and food for the expedition.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
Fedeli spent three days mobilizing food and troops, and then personally led the army to go out. This time to conquer the city of Maiti, he mobilized 20,000 elite soldiers. All 20,000 elite soldiers were elites who were good at fighting. They were extremely brave.
A veteran of hundreds of battles.
The army hurried on and headed straight for the city of Maiti. (To be continued)
