I blame the system for licking dogs

The launching of any war is not just as simple as sending troops. The reason why there is a saying that modern wars are all about economics in the end is because of the many involvements behind wars.

The most direct ones are the war preparations, materials, logistical supplies, sacrifice pensions, etc. required for the war. Indirectly, there are also the impacts on the financial stock market, import and export, energy, food, etc.

However, due to the lameness of the technology tree in this world and the economic model of Daqin’s enclosure and self-imprisonment, a war would not have such a big impact.

As for places like Mengzhou, which are still in a "slave society", preparations for war are even simpler.

This is also the advantage of the nomads. The reason why Genghis Khan was able to sweep across the Eurasian continent in the previous life was that there was no logistical pressure. One of the reasons was to support war with war. Another reason was that they could drive cattle and sheep to the battlefield for transportation.

There is very little pressure.

In addition, wars between nomadic peoples often involve the relocation of the whole family. The winner is determined by only one tribe, and there is no sense of land.

If it were the Central Plains dynasty, the soldiers and horses would go ahead without using food and fodder, and launching an expedition would often consume more than half of the dynasty's tax revenue for a year. This is why so many powerful dynasties in Liu Zhengjing's previous life have never dealt with the Goryeo Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula.

One of the reasons why places within the sphere of influence can achieve long-term and stable rule.

While Liu Zhengzheng was working hard to collect books from his previous life to prepare for the upcoming war, the King of Kent's tent had already been seen from a distance.

Compared to King Huan's tent, which was tasked with sealing the border, Kent's tent was much weaker.

But it's not something that can be shaken by five hundred cavalry. In most wars, beheading is a method with minimal investment and maximum profit. The focus of Yin Hao's strategy is beheading.

Their advantage was suddenness. The king's rule had been peaceful for a long time, and their military ethics were in ruins. All they had to guard against were the occasional foolish young men among the herdsmen, and their defense was full of loopholes.

Liu Zhengjing ordered the team to stop temporarily and wait until the smoke started to attack again. This is a safer method. If Liu Zhengzheng succeeds in beheading, these 500 people only need to help control the situation. If he fails, then the 500 people will

There is no point in attacking.

"Brother, I'll come with you." Xiong Xiaoxiao actively requested.

Liu Zhengjing smiled inwardly. This little guy still knows himself very well. "Okay, let's sneak in first. It's easy to use you as a cover."

Chao Chen made no secret of his contempt for Liu Zhengjing. How could he hide this trick from him? However, he still said: "I'll go with you."

Liu Zhengzheng smiled and rode forward. Chao Chen and Xiong Xiaoxiao rode on the donkey. They didn't know what means they used. The donkey's hooves were not very fast, but the speed was not slow at all.

Liu Zhengjing studied all the way and found that the donkey seemed to be running normally. The ground would "move" when the hoof was raised and dropped. Liu Zhengjing could not understand the trick. He just guessed that this was an application of true energy, and he felt even more

This old man is unfathomable.

When a horse and a donkey approached the tent on the edge of the tribe, a group of rangers came over. Liu Zhengzheng's expression did not change. Judging from the attire of this group of rangers, they should be a daily patrol team.

The team stopped ten meters away from Liu Zhengjing. The leader, a bearded leader, looked at Liu Zhengjing and the others. A warrior who was a horse's head behind him said to the leader: "Looks like a mainlander, how did you get here?

"

Then he turned around and asked loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing in Kent?"

Liu Zhengjing put his right hand on his left shoulder, and immediately bowed slightly and made a Mengzhou salute, "Dear warrior, I am a businessman from the mainland. I discovered a big secret while doing business with the Yuhuan tribe, and I want to report it to the King of Kent.

"

Mengzhou is not absolutely isolated from the world. There will be merchants who have obtained permission from the Qin government and the Mengzhou royal account to be responsible for trade. Of course, these goods will also be subject to restrictions.

"You just want to see the King of Kent." The warrior looked arrogant when he spoke, as if he was deliberately making things difficult, but he was actually asking for benefits.

The status of these businessmen in Mengzhou is not low, and they have many privileges. Some princes are also very polite to them. The reason why he dares to make things difficult is that on the one hand, he has some status among the warriors, and on the other hand, this businessman is very shameless.

It's normal to have some oil and water.

Liu Zhengjing didn't understand and asked again, "Then can I ask to see the First Warrior? Information is really important."

The man who spoke glanced at the bearded leader and said, "This eldest brother of mine is the second bravest warrior in the King of Kent's tent. It's the same as reporting any information to my eldest brother."

It seems that warriors are also divided into factions.

Just when Liu Zheng was thinking about whether to capture the second warrior first, the bearded man suddenly raised his hand to stop his men, "Chaza, don't say that, let's take them to see the captain of the guard."

The warriors of the Mengzhou royal tent also generally serve as the chief of guards of the royal tent, that is, the commander of the warriors.

Then Liu Zhengjing heard the second warrior say something very awkward, "They have a saying in the mainland, 'The way of heaven is clear, the floods are surging', everything is for the king's account."

The subordinate nodded repeatedly, "Brother, it's different if he has read a book. What he said makes so much sense."

Liu Zhengzheng looked weird, "What the hell are you doing? If you understand, you'll flatter me."

This bearded man is clearly from Hongmeng, and I'm afraid it's no coincidence that he came out to question me.

The bearded group led the way into the Kent tribe.

We passed many tents along the way, and herders kept greeting Big Beard cordially. It was obvious that Big Beard was very popular here.

Interesting.

Passing through the tent area on the edge of the tribe, we came to the construction area. In the Mengzhou royal tent, generally only nobles could afford to live in buildings.

The warriors came to a small second-floor building, and the bearded man shouted loudly: "Chief Guard, there are businessmen from the Huan tribe who say they have important information to report."

A man's cursing voice came from the building. A few minutes later, a man pushed open the door and came out. Seeing that he was disheveled and his face was flushed, he must have been interrupted.

The man looked at the bearded man with a sullen expression, and then his eyes fell on Liu Zhengjing and the other three, "What are the merchants from King Huan's tent doing here at King Kent's tent?"

Liu Zhengjing got off his horse and walked over with a smile on his face, looking flattering.

"Master Guard, I have obtained important information from the Huan tribe. Prince Huan bought a large number of firearms from unknown sources. This is a serious crime. I suspect that he will do harm to the King of Kent..."

This news cheered up the captain of the guard. There was not always peace among the royal tents. In order to maintain his rule, the Khan of Mengzhou had been provoking conflicts among the royal tents for thousands of years. Moreover, the royal tents of Mengzhou were

No firearms are allowed, this news is enough to finish Prince Juan's game.

"Are you serious?" The captain of the guard was a little excited.

"Please come over here." Liu Zhengzheng stretched his head to whisper to him.

The captain of the guard did not doubt that he was there. He leaned forward slightly and stretched his head over.

Liu Zhengzheng naturally held his head with both hands and twisted it. With a click, the guard captain's huge body fell to the ground and turned into a corpse, kicking up dust on the ground.

The scene suddenly became silent. It was too sudden. No one expected to find such a scene. He was the captain of the guard and a warrior in the martial arts realm.

A piercing scream came from the second floor. Liu Zhengzheng looked up and saw a naked woman's figure flashing past the bed.

Liu Zhengjing smiled slightly and said, "You are in good shape, but you are a thief." Then he smiled and turned to look at the group of rangers.

The bearded man didn't expect Liu Zhengjing to be so crisp and clear. He pulled out the scimitar with a loud clang, and then there were the sounds of drawing out the sword one after another.

The bearded man looked back and slashed, and the head of the subordinate who had been talking before fell to the ground. Blood spurted out from the headless body, and he fell to the ground a few seconds later.

"Brothers, do you still remember the goddess I told you? This is the messenger of God. Now the glory of the goddess has shined on the King of Kent's tent. Let us pick up the scimitar in our hands, kill the prince, and save the herdsmen of the world.

!”

The team of rangers behind him were just stunned for a moment, then they all raised their arms and waved their swords, "Kill the prince and save the herdsmen!"

"Charge!" The bearded man galloped forward, and the people behind him followed.

Liu Zhengzheng felt amused as he watched the smoke and dust go away. It seemed that he didn't have to do anything. This Hongmeng brother was too well prepared.

Needless to say, the subordinate he killed should have been placed in his team.

Liu Zhengjing took off the clothes of the captain of the guard, lit it, and then picked up horse manure on the roadside and piled it up. Thick black smoke stretched straight into the sky.

Seeing Liu Zhengzheng leading his horse and walking towards the city, the old man riding the donkey suddenly asked: "Are you from Hongmeng?"

Liu Zhengzheng knew he couldn't hide it from the old man, so he simply nodded.

"The captain of the guard just now is a martial artist after all. It looks like a sneak attack and his attack is simple, but in fact he has superb martial arts skills. Even if it is not a sneak attack, the captain of the guard may not be able to dodge that move." Chaochen continued to comment, "Hong Meng is young.

Apart from the newly rising Faceless Men, I can’t think of anyone else in this generation who can do it, but you don’t wear a mask.”

"That God of Death from the Killer Alliance may be able to do it, but you don't have the strong murderous aura in you that is rumored to be the God of Death."

"Unexpectedly, the mysterious young and powerful Zhang Sanfeng is actually from Hongmeng. This generation of young people from Hongmeng is amazing."

Xiong Xiaoxiao was a little nervous.

Liu Zhengjing glanced sideways at the old man, "Senior is indeed from the Nine Sects. I wonder what your last name is?"

His face remained calm, but in fact his inner energy was already flowing throughout his body, which was why he insisted on staying with the old man.

Hong Meng will definitely appear in this operation. If the old man is from Jiumen, there will be risks, and he is also betting.

The old man neither denied nor admitted, "Don't be nervous. There are too many crimes here in Mengzhou. I see everything you do. It's none of my business. I'm just Master Xiong Xiaoxiao."

Only then did Xiong Xiaoxiao's body relax.

Liu Zhengzheng smiled and said he was right. A master who rides a donkey around the world is most likely not the kind of person who has a strong sense of family responsibility. This old man gives people a kind of upright and peaceful temperament. He should not be a bad person, and this place is still foggy.

state.

The next step was very smooth, and the five hundred cavalry entered the Kent tribe without any hindrance.

The bearded man dragged the fat body of the prince and many tied clan members, summoned all the herdsmen in the royal tent, publicly announced all the evil deeds of the Prince of Kent, and then solemnly introduced Liu Zhengjing's identity as the envoy of the gods.

Yin Hao did not lie, the legend of the goddess has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Next, the bearded man raised his arms and shouted, "Those who are willing to pick up the sword and follow the goddess should mount their horses now and go together to overthrow King Khan. Many people in the crowd immediately raised their arms and echoed, and the atmosphere was suddenly aroused.

Liu Zhengjing took a look at the first person in the crowd to respond. Most likely they were trustworthy.

Very well prepared and experienced.

The three thousand warriors who originally belonged to the King of Kent's tent, plus more than a thousand herdsmen who temporarily joined, and nearly five thousand cavalry, one man and three cavalry set out westward in a mighty manner, with high morale.

On the other side, Lin Qingyue was more simple and rude. Prince Wendu was holding a banquet, and Song Zhi took her directly to the residence of Prince Wendu, and sent the prince off to the west with a flash of light in full view of everyone.

Then Lin Qingyue revealed his identity, and the Hongmeng secret agent, who had been fully prepared but was mostly regarded as useless, attacked from behind and beheaded the first warrior, and then the crowd mobilized to respond.

King Wendu's tent is located in the south of Mengzhou, bordering the inland, and its strength is even slightly stronger than the original King Huan's tent. In one hour, it subdued more than 5,000 troops and set off westward.

Within one day, the three kings' tents in eastern Mengzhou were all returned to the Goddess tribe.

It sounds simple, but in fact it is because Wang Zhang is too unpopular, and Hongmeng has been preparing for a long time.

Even without Liu Zhengjing and Lin Qingyue, Mengzhou would still be in chaos. This is just a part of the general trend of the world.
