Throne of Vientiane Civilization

During the time when they stayed in Liang for the winter, Emperor Liang frequently entertained him and got close to him, and Kabak also dealt with it casually.

Later, at a banquet, Emperor Liang asked a relatively sensitive question due to his drunkenness...

"Captain Kabak leads a mercenary group. He must have participated in many wars. He must also know a lot about the surrounding countries, right?"

Although Kabak was not smart, he was definitely not a fool. How could he not figure out that Emperor Liang wanted to get information from surrounding forces from him.

In fact, in Kabak's view, the other party does not need to beat around the bush. Their centaur mercenaries have always only paid to fight, and they don't care about other things.

Helping employers keep secrets is not within their scope of business.

Of course, under normal circumstances, he would not spread his employer's information around.

But this time the situation is different after all. Emperor Liang allowed them to spend the winter here, and they kind of accepted each other's affection.

Thinking of this, Kabak simply provided the information about his previous employer, Yan Sheng, to the other party as a return of favor.

Now that I have met Emperor Liang, looking at his appearance, I know that the other party must have checked the authenticity of the information, and at the same time, I also have some guesses in my mind.

"Did Emperor Liang call me over now?"

When Emperor Liang saw this, he did not beat around the bush.

"Captain Kabak, do you think that if I hire you to start a war with China, what are the chances of winning?"

"..."

Hearing this, Kabak subconsciously recalled the Chinese troops, and then said...

"Seven or eight points."

Although he felt that Yan Sheng was not worth mentioning and it would be easy to defeat him, he was still a money-making businessman after all. In addition, the influence of Liang Guo's troops could not be ignored, so he could not be too full of words.

Regarding this, Emperor Liang was well aware of this. After reaching this conclusion, a smile of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.

"Well, Captain Kabak, I want to hire you again and let you help me attack China! What do you think?"

From the perspective of Emperor Liang, although China's national power was empty due to continuous wars, how could the Liang Kingdom be the same?

In fact, the Liang Kingdom just finished the war before winter last year. In terms of national strength, it may not be any better than China, and it may even be stronger.

The reason why he dares to start a war now is undoubtedly the centaur mercenaries in front of him.

Emperor Liang knew very well that apart from a simple employment relationship, Captain Kabak in front of him did not want to have too much involvement with him.

So once spring starts, they'll be gone pretty quickly.

This group of centaur mercenaries has no fixed location. Once they leave, it will be difficult to find them.

Emperor Liang didn't want to let go of this opportunity to take over the Central Plains, so this was the scene before him.

Compared to Emperor Liang, who had many ideas, Kabak's ideas at the moment were simple.

Although the territory of China is larger than that of the Liang State, and it is estimated that its strength is stronger than that of the Liang State, from their perspective, neither side has good cavalry, and their centaur cavalry can suppress the infantry troops. It goes without saying how strong it is.

In this way, from their point of view, whether it is China or Liang, they are only half a catty.

So it doesn't make much difference to them who hires them.

As long as the money is in place, everything is negotiable. This is the professional ethics of mercenaries.

Needless to say, the two sides quickly reached an agreement, which allowed Emperor Liang to safely start raising supplies and mobilizing troops.

During this process, although the opponent had not made any further moves, Zhou Xu estimated that the opponent would not stop.

With this speculation in mind, and just in case, the first thing he did after issuing the order was to transfer all the two thousand recruits to Anling City.

Although the training period has not yet come, Shi Lei can still train them when they get to Anling City. In this area, Shi Lei is still quite experienced.

Their recruit training camp is arranged in an area between Xishan City and Black Rock City. It is located in the center of the territory of the New World. After the recruits are trained, it is very convenient to transfer them to any city.

After setting off, they moved in a marching state. Within a week, they successfully arrived at Anling City and completed the check-in with Shi Lei.

With this mobilization of troops, so many soldiers entered the city, and the news could not be concealed at all.

Fortunately, Zhou Xu had no intention of hiding it. As early as when he ordered the deployment of troops, Zhou Xu also gave an order to the Propaganda Department to publicize the news.

At this moment, listening to the storyteller's narration, many diners in the restaurant were already filled with indignation.

"Damn foreigners, do you really think we, Dazhou, are easy to bully?!"

At this moment, they didn’t know which country they were across from, so the Propaganda Department directly gave them the word, foreigner! There's nothing wrong with that, it's even quite appropriate.

It is actually very simple to reduce people's fear, resistance and dissatisfaction with war.

That is just to let the people know that they are the one being bullied.

To put it more bluntly, it is called contradiction transfer, turning internal contradictions into external contradictions.

In fact, the recent actions of the opposing reconnaissance troops on their border have become increasingly aggressive.

We are living a good life here, why are you coming to beat us and prevent us from being peaceful?

This clay figurine is still very angry. Who wouldn't be able to bully others after hearing this?

At this time, there was a chorus of curses in the restaurant, and there was an immediate response.

"If we don't do anything, those foreigners won't be able to get in trouble?!"

"Send troops! We must send troops! Give those guys some color!"

"..."

Suddenly, the call for sending troops in the restaurant became louder and louder. Under the conscious operation of the Propaganda Department, the news quickly spread throughout the New World.

Although some people are still worried about the possible outbreak of war and are worried that the country will fall into war again, the overwhelming majority of voices support the dispatch of troops, which prepares them for the next series of military operations.

Zhou Xu also took this opportunity to issue another order to recruit three thousand troops!

Two times before and after, the number of conscripts reached 5,000. Not counting the extreme conscription like recruiting strong men. Under normal circumstances, taking into account the permanent strength of the domestic troops in peacetime, this number of conscriptions is basically their Dazhou New Continent to ensure that Under normal internal operations, this is the maximum number of troops that can be recruited.

The subsequent recruitment of three thousand troops went very smoothly, and then training of new recruits was immediately launched to prepare for the war that might break out at any time.

In the process, before the end of spring, Liang's army officially pressed outside Anling City, which was located in the northern border of their Great Zhou Dynasty...
