Chapter 155 Blocking the border
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!”
In Wincheston Manor, Dean was scolded by his father so much that he couldn't raise his head. ∈8∈8∈read∈books,.≦.o≧
"We are businessmen. Do you know what businessmen need most? It is stable order! It is strictly abiding by the rules!!"
"How could you be so stupid that you buy someone to assassinate him? Is he so easy to kill? Even if you succeed, a new noble knight will be assassinated, will the court not pursue it? Don't you know that behind him are the deputy prime minister of the palace and Bishop Lucesen? Do you don't know how many opponents we have waiting to hold our handle? Once the matter is exposed and someone takes the evidence, how do you face the court's punishment? Have you ever thought about it!!!" Old Dian was almost dying.
Dean's mother quickly stepped forward to support the old Dean who was so angry that she couldn't stand, and spoke out for her son: "Don't Dean also wanted to eliminate an opponent as soon as possible. Besides, fortunately, news came from the north that the guy was not dead at all, and the person sent was not killed. "
"But what happened? The result was that the bastard bought all the fifteen-car southern goods to our allies!! Do you know that according to my prior arrangement, the bastard's goods would be smashed into his hands, and he would not even get a copper coin."
"How could I have a stupid son like you!!" Old Dean pointed at Dean's nose and cursed.
Dean, who was sitting in the corner, had already blushed and naked. Now he couldn't help but jumped up and kicked down the chair, and said angrily: "Then let that bastard be your son!!" After that, he slammed the door and kicked over a servant who was delivering drinks.
Old Dian pointed outside the door and shouted to his wife, "This is your spoiled son!"
"What's wrong with my son? Why are he worse than others? Why are you so afraid of an inconspicuous little knight?" Dean's mother was still protecting her son.
"Little Knight? Do you know how many people he has killed in the past two years? Do you know how many bandits are nailed on the trade road in the south? Do you know how many outlaws he has? He is a dangerous opponent. Once he is moved, such a person will not cherish his life. If we send people to assassinate him, will he not send people to assassinate us?" Old Dian had guessed that Yat would definitely have countermeasures in the future.
When Dean's mother heard that someone was fighting with her family, she was instantly panicked, "Then ~ what should we do? Why don't we take the initiative to make peace with that guy?"
After a while of silence in the room, Old Dean regained some calmness, his sinister eyes were wide open, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Please peace? Even if he is a bandit, my Dean's family is not a fat sheep!"
"The Dean family is not a fat sheep, they have already started to act. According to the news from Tignets these days, the Dean family is gathering rangers and mercenaries in the name of recruiting caravan guards. Moreover, the most elite guards of the Dean family's caravans have also been transferred back to the Dean family to strengthen their defense forces in the farms and Wincheston Manors in the southwest of Tignets. 5∨85∨85∨Read 5∨.●.●o And Redoan also sent a secret message. The Dean family members are contacting several bandits in the county, wanting the bandits to act as their hunting dogs, but the robbers entrenched in the mountains have been scared by us, and few bandits responded to the Dean family."
In the valley wood fort, Ron did not return due to serious injury, the responsibility for collecting external intelligence is temporarily held by Angus, who is responsible for military information.
Yat tore off the half of the honey bread from the wooden plate on the table and handed it to Angus sitting opposite him, then picked up the remaining half and bit it hard, and replied with his cheeks puffed out: "Look, it seems that the Dean family thought that our "bandits" would be so reckless that they would lead troops to attack their farms and manors."
Angus also delivered the bread to his mouth and chewed it, praising the road: "Mrs. Lotty made a bread so delicious."
"Lotti made more than a dozen of these honey breads. She will send them to you later."
"Thank you, my wife, and I,"
Yat swallowed all the bread chewed in his mouth and said, "It's just a few breads, it's not worth your thanks. Sergeant, how are you preparing for the counter plan?"
Angus put down the bread in his hand and approached some and replied: "Simon sent a message back. Starting this morning, the border outpost has begun to block the roads. All caravans from south to north and pedestrians carrying goods have been forced to return on the spot. Before the army completed the expansion of the border outpost, the caravan's escorts were temporarily stationed at the border to help the outpost block the border. In addition, I have asked Lucienang to take the post to patrol the trade roads and seize any brigades that cross the border."
Yat picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and replied steadily: "Okay, the border blockade has been reported to the county. Anyway, when I ask, I found out that recently many southern tyrants have secretly colluded with the county bandits to provide them with weapons and supplies. Recently, I will send large-scale troops to wipe out the county bandits in one fell swoop. In order to prevent southern merchants from continuing to secretly communicate with the bandits, I must block the border for a period of time."
Angus also picked up the wine glass and sipped it, and replied with some concern: "In this way, he offended other powerful people together~ right?"
"Don't worry, I'm targeting the Dean family, and the only one of them is transporting southern goods on this business road. I have given Simon instructions that as long as the powerful people we can't afford to offend and the caravans that do not carry southern goods will be released after a day or a half. They cut off my northern passage and I will strangle their southern throat. I don't believe they can still take southern goods across Mount Carmel."
"But whether this will anger the opponent, their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Yes, so we must be prepared to deal with it and be ready to meet our opponents' swords, axes, spears and swords at any time. How are we preparing for the expansion of the army?"
"According to your arrangement, the second and third squadrons are stationed in the camps of Jushi Town, and can deal with enemy attacks on Jushi Town or quickly reinforce border outposts at any time."
"Odor has completed the basic training of recruits. The 20 recruits who completed the training are mainly war slaves who performed well and obtained free status and serfs rescued from Ryan Manor. In addition, there are a small number of young refugees and guard peasants. The combat power of these recruits is stronger than the refugees recruited before. Odor feels that he can select more than ten best recruits to be organized into the first squadron, so that the first squadron can recover its combat effectiveness as soon as possible under the leadership of several veterans. In the past two days, Odor has been training the group of miners and laborers you brought back from the North this time day and night."
"As for the new fourth squadron, I think it can be temporarily suspended, because we are about to face a crisis. In order to ensure the core combat effectiveness of the army, I think the veterans of the second and third squadrons should not be drawn out. The new recruits who are preparing to form the fourth squadron can be organized into a temporary squadron and distributed weapons and armor to the camp in Jushi Town to assist in the defense."
After hearing this, Yat was not in a hurry to answer. According to the original plan, after trying to open the business road on his way north, he would return to the valley generals to reorganize again. In addition to rebuilding the first squadron, he would also build a new fourth squadron.
But now he is facing a crisis that may break out at any time. Veterans with combat experience in the Legion must maintain their best combat effectiveness at any time. Moreover, Ron, who was originally planned to be the captain of the Fourth Squadron, was also left at Lucesen to recuperate. There was neither a leading veteran nor a suitable officer, so now he can only try to overcome the crisis in front of him.
"I had already discussed with Odo yesterday. The reorganized first squadron is temporarily captained by Colin, and the remaining surviving veterans serve as squadron leader and combat team leader respectively. As for the fourth squadron, it will not be newly established. Ten new recruits who are planning to be incorporated into the fourth squadron are temporarily organized into the fourth squadron to be treated as combat soldiers. Andrew, the combat team leader of the second squadron, was transferred out to serve as captain of the fourth squadron."
"The first squadron and the fourth squadron of the temporary squadron were stationed in the camp in Jushi Town. The second 3rd squadron and the gongnu squad were transferred to the border outpost to garrison. The border is where they are most needed."
"In addition, you told Odo and Cooper to increase the training frequency of the Valley Guards. Once the order is issued, the Valley Guards will immediately go to the Beiguan Army Fort construction site to garrison. I am worried that the opponent will bypass the camp in Jushi Town and harass our Valley Knights."
"Yes, I've recorded it."
"Okay, you and Odo complete the reorganization as soon as possible, and then garrison the Jushi Town and the Border Outpost. After Odo completes the latest batch of recruit training, he will be in charge of Jushi Town, and you will be responsible for the border outpost. In the past few days, I stayed in the valley to personally dispatch the food and supplies of the Border Outpost and Jushi Town garrison troops. We may face isolation in the next period of time, and I must ensure that the army has no worries."
Angus picked up a few sips of honey bread on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned around and came out of the office.
After Angus left, Yat shouted outside the door: "Felix, prepare and accompany me to the valley in the afternoon. I will personally supervise the valley to collect grain taxes and purchase surplus grain from farmers."
Before the end of the struggle with the Dean family, Yat could no longer send people out to raise food on a large scale. He must be prepared to rely solely on the grain produced in the valley to maintain an increasingly large situation. Fortunately, this year, farmers in the valley to harvest grain this year can also take out surplus grain for coins in addition to paying the agreed taxes...
July, southern border outpost.
A garrison camp and the outpost rose up from the ground with more than a hundred steps. The camp was surrounded by four pointed wooden stakes, and six military tents of different sizes were set up in the camp. The fighting and training of soldiers in the open space of the camp was loud and loud. There were two soldiers wearing armor and spears standing guard at the gate.
The roadblocks in front of the outpost, more than a hundred steps away, had already been built on the stone bridge on the stream. All the outpost garrisons were dispatched, either intercepting and searching passing pedestrians and business brigades in front of the roadblocks, or patrolling up and down the stream under the leadership of the commander.
The refugees who had stayed here to rest in the past also noticed that the atmosphere was getting tense, and they packed up their ragged parcels and left this place of trouble. Only a dozen young and strong men who had been registered as territorials were still strengthening the walls for the army, creating horse-resistance, and digging traps.
The southern border is already in sight...11
