Du Qi took the letter, glanced at it, and smiled. "Ba Tuoluo's victory is within our expectations. We had left some forces in the capital, and Vadhara himself had some strength. However, Vadhara was able to achieve victory without using our forces. It is indeed not bad. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Vadhara has been in charge of Jiantuoluo for many years. He still has some strength in the capital."
Du Qi glanced at Shangguan Yi after hearing this.
There was an inquisitive look in his eyes.
Shangguan Yi smiled. "What I mean is that after Your Majesty defeats King of Jieri and sweeps through the south and takes over the other states, Vadhara can be transferred to other places to take up a post. After all, Vadhara is a citizen of Jiantuoluo, but he has always been in Jiantuoluo. This is somewhat inappropriate. Indeed, Vadhara is loyal to Your Majesty and is wholeheartedly loyal to His Majesty. The problem is that he cannot always stay here because of his loyalty. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Your suggestion is not bad. Let's talk about it after this matter."
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
As long as Du Qi listened, things would be easy to handle. Moreover, in this battle, Shangguan Yi had also discovered Vadhara's strength in Jiantuoluo. Therefore, leaving Vadhara in Jiantuoluo was not a good thing. It was also not good for Vadhara.
Once the land was pacified, these people under Vadhara could easily drive Vadhara forward for their own benefits. In the end, the situation might be out of control.
Du Qi had already picked up the binoculars and looked at the situation below the mountain. At this time, King of Jieri's army was still stationed at the foot of the mountain and did not take any large-scale action. The army was stationed at the foot of the mountain, but there were very few soldiers who went from the edge of the official road down the mountain and then went around to the front of the road. A small number of soldiers went around and set up camp.
Du Qi noticed this and his lips curled into a smile. The King of Jieri's actions were actually to block his supply line at the foot of the mountain. After all, the King of Jieri was slowly sending in troops. Thousands of troops could block the supply line.
After Du Qi saw it, he didn't care.
As long as King of Jieri did not send his army forward, Du Qi would temporarily maintain the status quo.
The army continued to rest and reorganize.
Apart from that, he was also reorganizing the private soldiers of the Jiedri State who had surrendered to him. The private soldiers of the major clans were not weaklings. Many of them were very strong and had sufficient combat power.
It was only in the afternoon that everything was reorganized.
At this time, the results of the battle were tabulated. Xue Rengui was in charge of the reorganization. He came to Du Qi's side and reported, "Your Majesty, the reorganization has been completed. This time, there are 86,000 private soldiers from the Jiedri State. They are not weak. After the current selection, 26,000 people were eliminated, and 60,000 elites were left. More than 20,000 people can be used as auxiliary soldiers. "
"Not bad, not bad!"
Du Qi nodded his head in approval.
Sixty thousand elites, and all of them were strong young men with combat strength. With this batch of elites, Lin Fan was confident that he would be able to defeat all of them. Then Du Qi's next attack on the King of Jieri would be different.
Xue Rengui was about to speak when Su Dingfang came again. He was in charge of checking the battle situation and the battlefield. Since the end of the battle last night, Su Dingfang had been busy until now.
He walked to Du Qi's side and reported, "Your Majesty, the results of yesterday's battle have been tabulated. In this battle, we lost more than 8,000 elites. However, the number of enemies they killed was close to forty thousand. Most of them were killed by the bombardment of the cannons. All the corpses have been disposed of. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "All the soldiers who died in the battle must be recorded. No one can be left out."
"Your humble servant understands!"
Su Dingfang nodded his head and replied.
The soldiers on the battlefield worked hard to earn money. No one could be left out.
Du Qi immediately looked at Xue Rengui. He saw Xue Rengui's hesitant look and said, "Is there anything else?"
Xue Rengui said, "There are two things."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Speak."
Xue Rengui said, "The first thing is to ask Your Majesty to personally lecture the soldiers of the Jiedri State. You have always been extremely powerful. With your personal instructions, everyone will definitely submit to you. "
Du Qi said, "No problem."
Xue Rengui said, "The second thing is according to our previous plan, we need to bombard the King of Jieri's camp and cause unrest among the King of Jieri's elephant soldiers. When will we send out the troops? These soldiers are all prepared. "
Du Qi said, "We will rest during the day. At night, we will bombard the King of Jieri's camp. We can only take advantage of the chaos at night. "
Xue Rengui nodded and didn't say anything else.
Du Qi said, "Let's go!"
Xue Rengui led the way in front and brought Du Qi to the north side of Mo Gaoshan. There was a slightly empty area in this area. All the surrendered soldiers of the Jiedri State and the reorganized soldiers were gathered here.
It was not the first time Du Qi had encountered these surrendered soldiers.
He had encountered them in the provincial capital before.
Now, it was the second time.
Before this, Du Qi's words had stirred up all the soldiers, and they had completely approved of Du Qi. This time, it was still very easy for Du Qi. There would not be any difficulty.
Du Qi looked at the pairs of slightly confused eyes. He thought for a while and said, "Many of you are a little nervous now that you have submitted to me. Now that I am here, I want to talk to you. "
"I won't say much, just three things."
"First, you have submitted to me, so you are my soldiers. You will receive the same treatment as the soldiers under my command. My soldiers can kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds, so can you. "
"Second, you don't have to be afraid of the Brahmin and Kshatriya castes anymore. Since you have submitted to me, you are free and will no longer be oppressed. I don't want my people to be cowards. They have already been freed, but they still have to lower their heads to the Brahmin and Kshatriya. "
"Third, you have a chance to perform meritorious deeds now. You've been bullied and exploited your entire lives. But now, you have to live for yourselves. Whether you can perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield and whether you can change your fate will depend on you. You have never studied and can't read, so if you want to change your fate and earn money, there is only one way. That is to kill on the battlefield. So, I look forward to your performance. "
Du Qi said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
After a pause, Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Xue Rengui, did they eat last night?"
"Yes."
Xue Rengui said solemnly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. They ate whatever our soldiers ate last night. It is a little simpler now. After all, it is not easy to cook in the wilderness. When we return to the city, we can improve our meals. "
"Okay!"
Du Qi nodded and replied.
Du Qi didn't make any promises to these surrendered soldiers. He believed that these people would understand what to do.
Xue Rengui sent Du Qi away. He looked at all the soldiers on the mountain and said in a deep voice, "Boys, you are now Xia Xia's soldiers. I am not His Majesty, and I understand the principles. The principles here are very simple. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood. "
"In the past, the Brahmin and Kshatriya people bullied you. In the past, you had to kneel down and salute them when you saw them. If you were careless, you might have been beaten to death. In fact, all of you can't even be compared to a dog in the mansion of a Brahmin clan. "
"Even a dog's food is better than yours."
"Now, it is your chance to take revenge."
Xue Rengui said, "Those who bullied you and targeted you are all in King of Jieri's army. If you want revenge, then do your best. If you don't dare to take revenge, pretend I didn't say anything. Do you want to take revenge? "
After the translator relayed the words, Xue Rengui waited quietly.
When these lowly commoners thought of how they had been treated and how they had been bullied, they thought of how they had been treated in the past. When they thought of the miserable state of their families, they couldn't help but shout that they wanted revenge.
For a moment, the word 'want' echoed on the mountain.
The sound lasted for a long time.
Countless people shouted, venting the anger in their hearts, venting everything in their hearts. Under this premise, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused. Everyone had a fighting spirit in their hearts.
Because they had all been bullied before.
Because they were all at the bottom and had been oppressed.
Therefore, they wanted revenge.
Of course, if it weren't for the situation in Luozhou City and the abolition of the caste system, they wouldn't have dared to take action. Now, because Luozhou had been implemented and Du Qi was very powerful, they were willing to burst out the deepest thoughts in their hearts.
Everyone dared to stake everything on one throw.
This was the premise.
Du Qi was also far away and heard the shouts of all the soldiers on the mountain. The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile, looking forward to what kind of strength these people would erupt with in the end.
When there was a response from the mountain, the shouts of the tens of thousands of people could be clearly heard from the foot of the mountain and into King of Jieri's army camp. From beginning to end, King of Jieri did not take action.
Because at the moment, he only needed to proceed according to the previous plan. However, while waiting, King of Jieri met with Abdo and accepted Abdo's suggestion. He arranged for envoys to go everywhere, all of them to the cities of the states near Luozhou City. He ordered the city lords and kings of these places to send troops to Luozhou City to help King of Jieri attack Du Qi.
This was a strategy of encirclement.
They wanted to completely isolate Du Qi.
Once all the soldiers were gathered, even though Du Qi was strong, and even though Du Qi had already subdued the Brahmin and Kshatriya clans, King of Jieri believed that if that day really came, Du Qi would not be able to stop them. In particular, King of Jieri was looking forward to seeing how Du Qi would respond once the Brahmin and Kshatriya clans sent out their troops.
Once Du Qi divided his forces, King of Jieri could directly attack the weakened Du Qi. If Du Qi did not divide his forces, Du Qi would not be able to defend Mo Gaoshan. For King of Jieri, this was a matter of great benefit and no harm. No matter how he looked at it, it was worth it.
King of Jieri looked forward to the news.
