Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 777

[Chapter 777 Mercenaries]

“Your Majesty the Great Emperor.”

After waiting in the imperial study for a while, a middle-aged man with red hair came in.

The red-haired middle-aged man was wearing a black military uniform, which was a mercenary military uniform, and he was exactly Luthor.

Seeing Luther, Liang Kai immediately smiled.

Now, he doesn’t have much confidence in Wu’s generals, and he only believes in these generals from the western lands.

He believed that only they could command the army of Wu State to fight against King Yan.

“General Luther, you must help me. King Yan’s army has probably captured Yizhou at this moment. They are going south, and the safety of Wu is in the hands of the general.” Liang Kai pleaded. color.

In the past three months, in order to deal with King Yan, his country of Wu gathered an army of one million, just for today.

“Your Majesty, the emperor, don’t need to be so worried. You have a saying that water will cover you, and soldiers will block you. As long as your majesty is determined to fight to the death, I will definitely make King Yan’s head broken in the south of the Yangtze River.” Luther bowed slightly.

He came to Wu State, on the one hand, because of Wu State’s high employment fee.

On the other hand, it was entrusted by Governor Bolt to fight for the interests of Britain.

Except for the British, the mercenaries under his command are all Tianzhu.

Equipped with the same guns and artillery as the current British army.

According to Governor Bolt’s account, he will try his best to make King Yan fall into the quagmire of war at all costs, drag down the king of Yan in the quagmire, buy time for them in Britain, make corresponding arrangements, and finally get rid of this Yan Wang.

After arriving in Lincheng, because of Governor Bolt, Liang Kai attached great importance to him and made him take charge of the entire mercenary army.

At the same time, although he is not the top general of the Wu army, his opinion is very important to the Wu army.

“Having said that, the general has a way to deal with it. Now I am worried that King Yan will launch an attack on the coastal cities just like in Dongying. If so, our country of Wu will suffer heavy losses.” Liang Kaidao.

Hearing this, Luther frowned, and said: “Your Majesty, Jiangnan is a vast country, and we must not focus on the gains and losses of a certain city, otherwise, it is tantamount to being fooled by King Yan. Wealth transfer, at the same time fortify the walls and clear the country, not leaving a single grain of food for King Yan’s army, so that they will not go too deep because of the lack of food and grass.”

His purpose is only one, which is to hold back King Yan.

Therefore, he didn’t care at all how much harm this method would cause Wu Guo, and how many people would be displaced.

Moreover, from the perspective of war, he thinks his method is also correct.

Liang Kai frowned immediately.

Including Lincheng is also a city near the sea. If he did this, he, the emperor, would have to withdraw from Lincheng,

so he was naturally a little reluctant.

In Lincheng, his Liang family has been in business for more than two hundred years, and its prosperity is no less than that of Jinling.

After leaving, where do I go to find such a location and Dingdu.

But after thinking about it again, he felt that Luther’s words were very reasonable.

The embarrassment of the Jiangbei clan is still vivid.

This king of Yan is very cunning, every time he lays down a place, he will take root here and feed on the enemy.

In this way, once King Yan’s army occupies the coast, the coast may become King Yan’s territory.

If such a long coastline has become the domain of King Yan, it is better to destroy it directly.

Seeing that Liang Kai was still a little hesitant, Luther said, “Your Majesty, as an emperor, you must not be kind. There is a country in our western lands called Ross, which was once at a disadvantage in wars like Wu, but Ross The monarch of the country is very bold. He gave up the land near the border, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, lured the enemy to go deep, and finally defeated the enemy with layers of blocking and severe cold.”

After a pause, he continued: “Although the country of Wu is not in the north, your south has the advantages of the south. King Yan’s soldiers are all from the north, so they must not be used to the extreme heat in the south, and your south is mountainous. When the king’s army fights, it can cause them a lot of trouble.”

“Oh, there is another example like this?” Liang Kai suddenly gained confidence, “General Luther, you must tell me this story in detail.”

“This Of course there is no problem, but now, Your Majesty should make a quick decision, King Yan’s navy has arrived in Yizhou, and the army is also involved in the Jiujiangbei case, and the war is about to break out.” Luther reminded Xia Liangkai.

Liang Kai was silent for a while, this decisive battle with King Yan is a battle of life and death, he can no longer be scruples.

Otherwise, if he loses Jiangnan, he will have nothing, even his life.

That being the case, he will win even if Jiangnan is turned into ruins.

“I will order the capital to be moved to Changcheng, Jiangzhou, and then the officials will be ordered to fortify the walls and clear the country, and move the coastal people to the inland.” Liang Kaidao.

The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and the warehouses of the states and counties piled up into mountains of grain and grass, which is enough for the relocation of the people.

It is better to waste these grains with others than to fall into the hands of King Yan.

After deciding this matter, Liang Kai felt relaxed for a while.

Luther nodded slightly, satisfied in his heart, and secretly said: “Governor Bolt, Your Majesty the Queen, I will definitely not disgrace my mission.”
