Bolang City.
This was the border city of the Persian Sassanid Dynasty in the Western Region.
The city lord was Kade.
He was the youngest son of Kurth the Second. He was already in his twenties. Kade was the city lord of Bolang City. There were eight cities in his fief, which covered an area of about the size of Moi, Gaochang, and Yanqi.
Under Kade's rule, it was quite prosperous.
After all, it bordered Xia Xia.
Nowadays, Xia Xia's economy was prosperous because Kade's territory connected Persia and Xia Xia, as well as the Western Region. Therefore, countless Persian merchants gathered here and did business with Xia Xia. Many of them made a lot of money.
Therefore, Kade was not weak.
The number of soldiers under Kass's command was already 100,000. With such a force, especially after they were equipped with the gunpowder given by the Tang dynasty, their strength had been greatly improved. Their current strength was far beyond the past. Three or four years ago, Bolang City was not so strong. It was because of the economic boost over the years that it had today's strength.
In some ways, Kade was very grateful to Du Qi.
Because of Du Qi's arrival and Du Qi's destruction of Tianzhu, Tianzhu became prosperous and prosperous, causing the Western Region to become rich. Because of this, Persia also benefited.
If not for this, Kade would not be so strong.
However, Kade also knew that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to go back and avenge his father, Kurth the Second. Because his elder brother, Kavad the Second, was stronger than him.
Kade had to increase his strength.
The best way to increase his strength was to attack Xia Xia. If it was just Kade's side, he would definitely not dare to send troops to attack Du Qi. After all, Du Qi was stronger than him. However, now that Du Qi's forces were mainly concentrated on the front line of Suzhou and fighting against the Tang dynasty, Kade had the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
At this moment, in the city lord's mansion in Bolang City.
Kade was sitting on the main seat.
There was a hint of majesty on his angular face. At this moment, Waldo was sitting below. Castel looked at Waldo and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Waldo, do you think we can take half of Tianzhu with our 100,000 men?"
"Impossible!"
Waldo shook his head and said, "Even if we destroy Du Qi this time, the Tang dynasty will still send troops. Compared to the Tang dynasty, our strength is still slightly lacking. Therefore, under this premise, we only need to take over the northern part of the former Jiedri State. That will be enough. As for the Western Regions, they would leave it to the Tang dynasty. Tianzhu has many more regions. If we can seize them, we will seize a portion of them. If they couldn't seize it, then they could only let it be. In short, we don't have to be so greedy. As long as we can expand our strength, that will be enough. "
After pausing for a moment, Waldo continued, "And our true goal isn't actually a city or a place."
After hearing this, Castel leaned forward slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Waldo, what is our true goal when we go to war with Xia Xia?"
Waldo said, "We only have two true goals. The first is Xia Xia's University of Science and Technology, and the second is Xia Xia's Arsenal. These are the two most important goals."
"The reason why Xia Xia is so powerful is not only because of Xia Xia's business development, but also because of Xia Xia's University of Science and Technology. As far as I know, there are countless talents in Xia Xia's University of Science and Technology. The existence of these people has constantly improved Xia Xia's weapons. Because the weapons of the State of Great Xia are so powerful, the State of Great Xia is able to stand tall and win against the Great Tang. "
"These craftsmen are the key of the key."
"We must bring them back."
Waldo's eyes flashed and he continued, "The second goal is Xia Xia's Arsenal. You should know how powerful Xia Xia's weapons are. Especially since you've seen gunpowder, which was stolen from Xia Xia by the Tang dynasty. This shows how powerful Xia Xia's Arsenal is. As long as we take down the craftsmen of the Arsenal, our strength will increase greatly. "
"Therefore, after we attack Xia Xia, once we gain a foothold in the north of Xia Xia and take over enough territory, we can lead our troops south and head straight for Xia Xia's Imperial Capital City."
"Break into the Imperial Capital City and take down the University of Science and Technology and the Arsenal."
"Even if it's fraught with difficulties and even if all our troops are lost, as long as we can bring back these people and all these technological achievements, it will be worth it."
Waldo said, "My Lord, this is what we need."
After Castel heard this, he praised, "Mr. Waldo's analysis is really exquisite. If it weren't for Mr. Waldo's advice, I would've only paid attention to the siege. Speaking of which, the reason why I can have my current foundation and establish a foothold in Bolang City is all because of Mr. Waldo's assistance and help. Thank you, Mr. Waldo. "
Waldo said, "My Lord, this is my duty as a subject. You don't have to worry."
Castel said, "Mr. Waldo, as long as I can kill my way back to the Empire, take back everything we've lost, and avenge my father, I will grant you the title of Duke. In that case, I promise to bestow upon you the title of Duke and make you the Prime Minister of the Empire. "
"Thank you, my Lord!"
A smile appeared on Waldo's face.
He knew that Castel's words were actually an invitation to buy people's hearts. However, if Castel was willing to make a promise, then Waldo was also willing. Moreover, Waldo himself also wanted to fulfill his ambitions. Just imagine, if he could support Castel and make him rule the Persian Empire again and reorganize the chaotic Persian Empire, then he would definitely leave his name in the history of the Persian Empire and become the most famous civil official. It was inevitable that he would leave his name in the history of the Persian Empire.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came in.
The soldier cupped his fists and said, "My Lord, General Baler said that all the troops have been mobilized and can be deployed."
Baler was Castel's general.
He was in charge of controlling the entire army in Bolang City. He was Castel's absolute confidant.
Castel had already been prepared.
Now that he heard the order, he immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Waldo, let's go. Follow me to the barracks. I have been waiting for this battle for a long time. Speaking of which, I have long wanted to compete with Du Qi. Now, I finally have the chance. "
He had already stepped out.
Waldo and the soldier followed closely behind.
As soon as Castel entered the barracks, he gave the order to deploy the troops and moved with the army. The mighty army had already left Bolang City and began to move toward the border of the Xia Continent.
This time, the army under Castel's command had brought enough gunpowder. After all, during this period of time, the craftsmen under his command had been searching for raw materials for gunpowder and then quickly mixing them. In a short period of time, they had prepared enough gunpowder.
The army had gunpowder.
Castel was full of confidence.
