This is the most border city of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty in the Western Regions.
The lord of the city is Custer.
He is the youngest son of King Kuslao II, and he is in his twenties. Kasde is the lord of Bolang City. There are eight cities in his fiefdom, covering an area about the size of Moyi Prefecture, Gaochang, and Yanqi Prefecture.
Under Custer's rule, it was quite prosperous.
After all, it borders Xia Kingdom.
Now the economy of Xia Kingdom is prosperous, because the area of ??Kasde is connected to Persia and Xia Kingdom, and also connected to the Western Regions, so countless Persian businessmen gather here, and then do business with Xia Kingdom, many of them earn a lot of money.
Therefore, Custer's strength is not weak.
The troops under Cusde's command already numbered a hundred thousand. Such a force, especially after being equipped with the gunpowder given by Datang, has greatly improved its strength. Today's power has far surpassed that of the past. In Braun City three or four years ago, its strength was never so strong. It is because of the economic drive of these years that it has its current strength.
In some respects, Custer is very grateful to Du Qi.
?Because of the arrival of Du Qi, Du Qi destroyed Tianzhu, making the Tianzhu area prosperous and prosperous, and making the Western Regions prosperous. In this way, only Persia will benefit from it.
If it wasn't for this, Custer's strength would not be so strong.
However, Kasde also knew that with his current strength, it would be impossible for him to go back and avenge his father, King Kuslao II. Because his elder brother Kawad II is stronger than him.
Custer himself needs to strengthen his strength.
And the best way to strengthen oneself is to attack the country of Xia. If it was purely on Kasde's side, he would not dare to send troops to attack Du Qi, after all, Du Qi is stronger than him. But now Du Qi's power is mainly concentrated on the front line of Suzhou, and he has gone to war with Datang. At this time, Custer has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
At this moment in Braun City, in the City Lord's Mansion.
Custer sat upright on the main seat.
There was a touch of majesty on that sharp-edged face. At the moment, Waldo was still sitting below. Caster looked at Waldo, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Waldo, do you think we can capture half of Tianzhu with our 100,000 people?"
"impossible!"
Waldo shook his head and said: "Even if we destroy Du Qi this time, Datang will send troops. Compared with Datang, our strength is still slightly insufficient. So under this premise, we only need to be able to It is enough to seize the area to the north of the Japanese Kingdom. As for the area of ??the Western Regions, it will be handed over to the Tang Dynasty. And there are more areas in Tianzhu. If we can seize it by then, we will seize part of it. If we can¡¯t seize it, we can only let it go. In short, our appetite doesn¡¯t have to be so big, as long as we can expand our strength, that¡¯s enough.¡±
After a pause, Waldo continued: "And our real goal is not in one city or one place."
After hearing this, Custer leaned forward a little, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Waldo, what is our real goal when we start a war with Xia Guo?"
Waldo said: "We have only two real goals. The first is Xia Guo's University of Science and Technology, and the second is Xia Guo's arsenal. These are the two most critical goals."
"The reason why Xia Guo is so powerful is not only Xia Guo's business development, but also because Xia Guo has a university of science and technology. As far as I know, there are countless talents in Xia Guo's university of science and technology. The existence of these people makes Xia Guo's weapons continue to improve. .Because Xia Guo's weapons are so powerful, Xia Guo can stand firm and win the fight against Datang."
"These craftsmen are the key to the key."
"It must be brought back."
Valdo's eyes shone brightly, and he continued: "The second point is Xia Guo's arsenal. The city lord should know that Xia Guo's weapons are powerful. Especially since you have seen gunpowder, which was stolen by Datang from Xia Guo. It can be seen that Xiaguo Armory is powerful, as long as we win all the craftsmen in the Armory, our strength will increase greatly."
"So after we invade the Kingdom of Xia, once we gain a foothold in the north of the Kingdom of Xia and conquer enough areas, we can move our troops southward and head straight for the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Xia."
"Break the imperial capital, take down the University of Science and Technology and the arsenal."
"Even if there are many difficulties, even if all our troops are lost, as long as these personnel are brought back and all these scientific and technological achievements are brought back, it will be worth it."
Waldo said: "City Master, this is what we need."
After listening to it, Custer praised: "Mr.??, it is really exquisite. If it wasn't for my husband's suggestion, I would just focus on the siege. Speaking of which, I can have the foundation I have today, and I can really gain a foothold in Braun City. All of this is inseparable from the assistance and help of my husband. Thank you, sir. "
Waldo said: "City Master, this is my duty as a subject, you don't have to worry."
Custer said: "Mr. Waldo, as long as I can fight back to the empire, regain everything I lost, and avenge my father. Then, I promise to give you the title of duke, and you will be the prime minister of the empire."
"Thank you, City Lord!"
A smile appeared on Waldo's face.
He knew that what Custer said was actually an invitation to buy people's hearts. But if Custer is willing to make a promise, then Waldo is willing, and Waldo himself also wants to display his ambition. Just imagine, if he can support Kasted to the top, make Kassid rule the Persian Empire again, and reorganize the chaotic Persian Empire, then he must be famous in the history of the Persian Empire and become the most famous. As a civil servant, it is inevitable to leave a name in history.
"Report!"
At this moment, soldiers entered.
The soldier clasped his fists and said, "The city lord, General Bale said that all the troops have been mobilized and they can send troops."
Bale is a general under Cusd's command.
Responsible for controlling the entire army of Braun City, that is Custer's absolute confidant.
Castel was already ready.
Now when he heard the order, he 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 , and now I finally have this opportunity.¡±
He has stepped out.
Waldo and the soldiers followed closely behind.
As soon as Custer entered the barracks, he gave the order to send troops and moved with the army. The mighty army had already left Braun City and began to march towards the border of Xia Kingdom.
This time, the army under Cusde's command brought enough gunpowder. After all, during this period of time, the craftsmen under his command were searching for raw materials for gunpowder, and then quickly configured them. In a short period of time, sufficient gunpowder was prepared.
There is gunpowder in the army.
Only Custer has full confidence. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
