Chapter 286 Li Wanxue

Buildings were something they had never heard of before. It was a great surprise to see it. People are willing to go.

Almost a month later, the new king of the conquered kingdom sent a letter.

He said in his letter that he would not work for me again. He has united with the remaining three kingdoms to form the Great Kingdom. We need to continue to band together. As long as one of them lives, they will not serve me.

When I had finished reading the letter, I looked at the messenger.

Trembling with fear, he said, "Chief, I have only come to deliver the message."

"Don't you be afraid, get up." I raised my hand. "They're united. Are they bringing the army together?"

'You're not going to kill me? His eyes were full of desire to live.

I smiled: "you answer me well, I naturally won't kill you."

"Yes, I will answer truthfully." He bowed and kowtowed. When he got up, he said, "Of The Three Kingdoms, the kingdom of coral is the largest and most abundant. Now they have cobbled together an army of seventy thousand. We're using everything we can fight."

"Seven..." I was shocked. Seventy thousand men would be an army anywhere.

"Seventy thousand." He held out his hand. "They're building walls and traps. All the people lived on a big mountain, and all the food and things were hidden there. They have dug many tunnels, and even if the leader had firearms, it would not be easy to destroy them."

"Then why did you come and tell?"

"The King sent me, and I dare not refuse." He crawled down again. "Please don't kill me, chief."

I nodded. "Bring me a letter, too. Tell them to get their defenses ready. I gave them a chance to live, and since they did not cherish it, it is not my fault. When the city falls, no royal family will be left."

Then I called in the two men who were on guard at the door, and told them to take the man to the sea.

"Chief." "I will stay in Cuckoo island," he cried.

"You don't need to stay here. Go back." I don't want to leave a guy here who might turn into a spy. Not killing him was mainly to observe the practice of "warring States war, not beheaded emissaries".

"Chief, I really want to stay."

I waved my hand, and my men just dragged him out.

Then I called a council of War.

After talking about the situation, Cui Bin said: "In this case, it is better to fight early than late."

I said, "These two days are not too bad. Well, zombo and John will each take a ship, and go to the conquered kingdoms and El Dorado to see what's going on. We need to know all the facts before we launch an attack. You can win a hundred battles if you know your enemy and yourself."

Cui Bin nodded: "In that case, they go first. We'll start with brass Island. Some of the former tribesmen were recruited there to form an army. We have a lot of men on this island, but we can't all kill our own people."

"Forget that. They can't be trusted. Let's use our own people." I continued, "Now that the population of the island is so large, we can't eat enough, so we'll have to get provisions from elsewhere. Tell you what, Li Ding will go to brass Island to collect provisions, and when she's done, she'll be waiting for us there. So are you two."

I pointed to John and Zombo.

When the three men answered, I sent Jompo to get two sacks of copper coins to take to the king in the kingdom of gold. We took ten thousand pounds of gold from him, and we got to give something back. Besides, this time we need his provisions.

The arrangements being made, the three of them set out in time. I went to the villages myself, and I raised troops.

Although we have the advantage of advanced weapons, it's still too big a gap for a thousand men against 70,000. This is a hard war, and we need not only fighters, but also a lot of logistics personnel to make sure that we can finish the campaign quickly.

When I got home in the evening, it was already late, and Zhang Yutong and Li Wanxue were still sitting at the table chatting.

"Why are you two still up?" I unloaded the gun and handed it to Zhang Yutong.

"Waiting for you. It's not too late."

"I'll cook for you." Li Wanxue got up.

After sitting down and drinking water, Zhang Yutong said: "Brother Lu Fei, you will soon go to war again, but you will also go to another world to fight against the gods of heaven. When will this war be over for good?"

"It's over when you're done with them." "It won't be long," I said. "When we get them all out of the way, we'll live our lives."

"I hope that day will come soon. I am so tired of living like this." "She said sadly, cupping her cheeks.

"Are you too tired to hire someone else to take care of the baby?"

Zhang Yutong shook his head: "no, I and wet nurse with, not tired. I'm just not used to you running around all the time. I don't spend much time alone with you now."

"Haven't you two stuck together enough for so long?" Li Wanxue handed me a big bowl of food.

"Of course." Zhang Yu smiled and leaned on me. "Why, don't you want to?"

Li Wanxue hesitated once and said: "I can not you so clingy people."

"Really? Are you okay with me sleeping with brother Lu Fei tonight?"

"Okay, I'll sleep in your room." Li Wanxue rubbed his neck: "today strange tired, I go to rest first, you two slowly tired."

After the door closed, Zhang Yutong said in a low voice: "Brother Lu Fei, how do I always feel strange?"

"What's strange?"

"I get the feeling she doesn't love you very much or even enjoy spending time with you very much." Zhang Yutong said, then looked back toward the door of the room.

"She's independent. You'd think she'd be like you." I big mouth pick up a meal: "later this words did not say, careful she heard, have misunderstanding to you."

Zhang Yutong oh 1, go to the back room to make a bed first. These days I am not very tired, with her toss twice before lying down to sleep.

The newly assembled men will need military training. I selected some of the best of my former soldiers and appointed them to be junior generals, and they trained me with a thousand new men. I'll be watching.

We had no more guns, and our new soldiers were divided into two groups, hurlers and spearmen with shields.

The last time we attacked that kingdom, we had a lot of trouble. But also realized that in close combat, shields and spears are good things. This is the one piece you should never throw away.

The focus of our training is still on the throwers, early in the training, we will collect the weight of the grenade stones, arrange them to throw. Distances and locations are then set and they are told to throw. When they do, they sail to the highlands of Waterfall Mountain for live-fire training.

Two days later, John sent his men back first, and the golden Kingdom did not object. Willing to help us fight The Three Kingdoms. But he asked for it. When he had conquered The Three Kingdoms, he wanted ten thousand pounds of copper and ten thousand pounds of spices.

John has promised, so I have to accept. It wasn't too much to ask, but it was too much for him, as my vassal, to negotiate such terms.

The men from Jompo's side came back a day late. Many of the people of that kingdom have been taken away by the new king. Their kingdom has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect them to be destroyed in a short time. Many of those I gave to the chieftain have followed. As a result, zompo's side did not collect much provisions.

After we knew the situation in several places, our troops were almost trained. The evening of my preparations, I called a meeting in the council chamber.

I propose that Cui Bin stay on the island and continue making grenades so that we can replenish our ammunition. And preside over the island's defenses.

"I can't move, so you'd better arrange other men for defense." Cui bin suggested.

I turned to look at Wu Wa: "Wu Wa, you are the leader of the tribe, or this defense will be entrusted to you."

Wu Wa laughed joyfully: "Really? You've never assigned me anything this important before?"

"No, because you're a woman, and I don't want you to be on the run like us men. But now that the main generals have been sent, you will have to work hard." I pointed to Cui Bin: "There is Cui Bin, meet uncertain things, you discuss more."
