Ross patted his chest and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry about this. I have already asked people to recruit farmers in the territory. If nothing happens, we only need to rest for a night when we return, and we can go directly to the tower.
Goose River."
"That would be great if that's the case."
Cide closed his eyes and said: "My master once got a military book from the Eastern Continent. There is a sentence in it called "Soldiers are more valuable and faster", which means that the army should increase its speed as much as possible so that it can catch up with the enemy.
We have previously occupied favorable terrain and made more adequate preparations."
Hearing what Cide said, Lin Peng, who was sitting next to him, looked surprised, "Cide, I didn't expect you to know the art of war in the Eastern Continent?"
As soon as Lin Peng finished speaking, Xide's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Yes, why did I forget about you, Lin Peng, a guest from the Eastern Continent? And from what you said, you also know the art of war very well, right?"
Looking at Cide with an excited face, Lin Peng said bravely: "Yes, although I can't say that I can memorize the art of war books in the Eastern Continent from top to bottom, I can at least recite them roughly. Just like Cide, you just
The mention of the importance of military strength and speed comes from the writings of Sun Tzu, the most famous military strategist in China."
"Yes, Sun Tzu!" Cide nodded and said: "It seems that it is necessary for our mercenary group to set up the position of military advisor, because my master once told me that an excellent military advisor can make a qualitative leap in the army under his command, so
Lin Peng, don’t refuse, I hope you can serve as the military advisor of our mercenary group!”
"I agree, although I still don't know what this strategist is." Ross shrugged and said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Peng was already a little confused, because he did not expect that he would become the main investor and military advisor of the mercenary group so quickly. However, Lin Peng did not hesitate for long, and nodded and said: "Okay, since Cide
You have said so, so I have no reason to refuse, but I am still curious, how did your master, Cide, know the art of war in "The Art of War"?"
Cid smiled and showed an expression recalling the past and said: "That was more than thirty years ago, when my master was still serving as a general in the army of the Holy Roman Empire. One day he met a man with whom he had a very good relationship.
This merchant occasionally travels to the Eastern Continent by land; because this merchant has a very good relationship with my master, and my master usually protects him in the Holy Roman Empire, so every time his caravan comes back from the Eastern Continent,
They would bring some gifts to my master, ranging from silk and porcelain to weapons and armor, and when this businessman gave my master a gift for the last time, he brought "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu."
"My master at that time had a hobby, which was to study the previous wars that took place on the continent of Europa, and then summarize these wars. Of course, in addition to my master, there were many similar people who would occasionally get together to discuss these wars.
So after my master obtained "Sun Tzu's Art of War", he took "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to participate in the discussion, and then they discovered that the strategies in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" can be applied almost perfectly to every war, and even every command of the commander.
In terms of decision-making... Although there were a lot of jokes during this process due to translation issues, in general, my master and the others regarded "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as a treasure, and asked the businessmen who went to the Eastern Continent to copy the military book as much as possible.
bring it here."
Hearing this, Lin Peng suddenly felt a sense of unreality, because he had never thought that a general of the Holy Roman Empire would study "The Art of War".
However, although this is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
"After my master decided to leave the Holy Roman Empire and settle in the Iberian Peninsula with my master's wife, he left his "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to his friends, but he still copied a copy and brought it here.
And after I became his student, he would often teach me these tactics of war. But what can I say about myself? I don’t really like these rigid things, and I feel that as a knight, as long as I can lead the charge, it will be fine.
I only learned a little bit, and my master gave up the idea of continuing to teach me."
Sid shrugged and said with some regret: "When I reached middle age, when I noticed that my physical strength was declining, I realized what a wrong decision I had made, because I knew that I could no longer
I can no longer rush to the front line as before; and in these years, I have participated in many battles, large and small, and personally commanded several of them. Then I found that many generals, including myself, understood
Subconsciously relying on experience to make some actions similar to the art of war, but knowing what they are doing and not knowing why."
Having said this, Cide looked at Lin Peng again, "Don't worry, Lin Peng, we also know the importance of the art of war, so we will not force you to teach the art of war to anyone, nor will we force you to teach the art of war to anyone.
Write down what you know; and in order to ensure that others can listen to you, I decided to let you, Lin Peng, serve as the deputy leader of our mercenary group."
As soon as Sid finished speaking, Ross couldn't wait to stand up and said: "Brother, what about me?! As the founder of our mercenary group and the future number one general, I don't want to take the position of deputy leader.
Have you passed?"
"It's passed."
Sid shook his head and said: "I thought that after so many years, Ross, you could be more stable, but it turns out that you are still the same frizzy look as before. How can I hand over the position of deputy captain to you? What's more, I
We have already thought about it, and our mercenary group will only have two deputy leaders, one for Lin Peng and the other for Alsace."
Alsace?!
Lin Peng suddenly felt that his DNA was moving.
"Alsace, that pretty boy can be the deputy leader, why can't I?"
Ross said with some dissatisfaction: "I will go and have a fight with Alsace later. Whoever wins will be the deputy leader."
Cid rolled his eyes at Ross, shook his head and said: "Although there is a 70% chance that Alsace can't beat you, the biggest advantage of Alsace compared to you is that he can get along with other people, so I need to let Alsace
Be my deputy and help me do some things that I can't do myself. After all, after I became the team leader, even if there are some things that are beneficial to me and the entire team, I can't do it myself because I have to guarantee myself.
