Chapter 224 Hiring the Wolf King

Hong Yan leaped, jumped out of the encirclement, and proudly ran to Shang Ji's side, staring at Shang Ji with a pair of big copper bell eyes.

Shang Ji suddenly burst into laughter, touched Hong Yan's head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your twenty fat sheep will definitely not be missing!"

With Shang Ji's guarantee, Hong Yan walked around Shang Ji twice, expressed his thanks, and then rushed back.

Shang Ji smiled slightly, turned around and said to Liu Meng next to him, "Huchen (Liu Meng's character), I have a task for you!"

"My lord, please order!" Liu Meng replied respectfully.

"You immediately take Hong Yan, lead a hundred wolf cavalry, go to the Wolf Valley, and tell the Wolf King that I am willing to pay ten thousand sheep per month to hire him to work for me temporarily."

"If the wolf king agrees, bring the wolf king back immediately. If it doesn't agree, then increase the price until the wolf king agrees! Do you understand?" Shang Ji said viciously.

"The general understands, please rest assured, my lord, the general will definitely invite the wolf king!" Liu Meng immediately promised.

"Go, it's not too late for this matter, you start now!" Shang Ji waved his hand, signaling Liu Meng to act quickly.

"The last general will leave!" Liu Meng saluted and left with a hundred wolf cavalry guards.

The wolf cavalry is a special type of Xianbei army and the backbone of the Xianbei army. Even the Sirius cavalry who are in charge of the guard and the king's tent are advanced variants of the wolf cavalry.

The biggest reason why Hongyan could easily subdue the Xianbei War Wolf must be because the owner of the wolf rider was dead, otherwise it would not be so easy.

But Hong Yan is just a little leader who is not very outstanding compared to the wolf king. If the wolf king goes out in person, Shang Ji doesn't want the unrealistic fantasy that the Xianbei wolf riders will turn against him because of the wolf king, but as long as it can slightly affect the wolf riders and reduce the combat effectiveness of the enemy, then it is worth the money up!

Even as long as the wolf king can play the role of recruiting the surviving enemy wolf warriors after the battle, it is worthy of its "high salary" of 10,000 fat sheep every month!

After cleaning the battlefield, together with Liu Yi's 10,000 cavalry, they all entered the black water fortress to recuperate.

Shang Ji contacted Shengying to conduct another investigation on the nearby situation.

First of all, there is no trace of large-scale Xianbei troops on the large area of ​​land north of Wangping and south of Heishuisai.

The largest group Shang Ji observed was only about three or four hundred people. For such a small group of troops, if they didn't happen to be on the way, Shang Ji would not bother to pursue them.

And this small force is no longer something to fear!

The tens of thousands of combat players in Liaodong County are not for nothing, and they will definitely not be able to face the tens of thousands of Xianbei troops. But if you want to hunt down small groups of enemy troops, they are masters in this regard. Even if Shang Ji sent black armored black knights to encircle and suppress a small group of enemy troops, he might not be able to do better than combat players.

You know, because of the large-scale historical plot of "Xianbei Invasion" and Wang Tong's extra rewards, now in the territory of Liaodong, the single Xianbei cavalry is a favorite. Because of the ownership of the small group of Xianbei cavalry, conflicts have erupted more than once among players Yes, it has the visual sense of robbing bosses in traditional games.

Ordinary players can earn a little money by killing a Xianbei soldier at will, and if they can get away with killing a Xianbei centurion-level general, it will be a huge windfall!

Not to mention combat players, many non-combat players who usually focus on play and production have a lot of jealousy and participate in hunting.

Of course, when encountering a large-scale Xianbei army with more than a thousand people, the players still run as fast as they can, and no one dares to provoke them.

In Yuyang County, there was a lord-type player who was doing well, but the territory he had painstakingly developed was destroyed because of Xianbei's southern invasion.

In a rage, the lord immediately led more than 500 combat players and nearly 10,000 aboriginal troops to fight with 3,000 Xianbei troops.

The result was very sad. Including the lord himself, 80% of the combat players were killed, and nearly 10,000 aboriginal troops were beaten by 3,000 Xianbei troops in a fancy way.

Since then,

There is no player who dares to take the initiative to trouble the large-scale Xianbei army anymore.

However, the small-scale hunting became more and more intense as it went farther, and a single lost Xianbei soldier was a meritorious service for moving gold coins in the eyes of players.

You know, many combat players are still in a state of rushing and basically relying on walking, and the horses under the crotch of the Xianbei soldiers make many players envious and desperate for supplies.

Regardless of some scattered soldiers near Wangping, Shang Ji controlled Shengying and shifted his perspective to Xiangping and the south of Xiangping.

Xiangping is still the same, the city is closed, and Xianbei soldiers are rampant outside the city.

Shang Ji even saw a small city that couldn't be named was directly captured by Xianbei soldiers, and the whole city fell into a raging smoke.

Shang Ji could only sigh deeply about this, the distance was too far, even if Shang Ji set out to march with all his strength immediately, it would be impossible to save him.

After the connection was disconnected, Shang Ji told Liu Yi the general situation he saw.

Liu Yi's face suddenly became gloomy. He is a native of Liaodong. Now he sees his hometown caught in the flames of war and his compatriots are slaughtered, so he is naturally very depressed.

"My dear brother, let's go south as soon as possible!" After a moment of silence, Liu Yi said.

"Okay!" Shang Ji nodded, and decisively agreed to Liu Yi's proposal.

Now that there are no large enemy forces worth discussing in the south of Wangping, it is natural to go south to find new targets.

The 500,000 Xianbei army merchants under the city of Xiangping dare not provoke them, but relying on the ability of the holy eagle and the super strength of the troops under their command, it is not a problem to wait for an opportunity to wipe out a few Xianbei troops who are looting outside!

"Brother, I have a proposal, you can see if it works!" Looking at Liu Yi, Shang Ji said.

"My dear brother, please speak!"

"Now there is no large enemy army in the south of Wangping, and some stragglers scattered in the wild are basically no longer a threat. It is completely unnecessary to keep 50,000 troops in Wangpingping City! Now it just happens that the prefect has an order, why don't we join forces in Wangpingping? Go south together, so as not to be defeated by the Xianbei army one by one!"

"Your brother's words are justified. Since there is no Xianbei army here, it is really unnecessary to keep too many troops. How about this, starting from Brother Wei, all cavalry troops in the city will follow us south, and the infantry will stay behind to guard City. In today's situation, ordinary pawns are not very useful."

Regardless of the fact that the Heijia Army dared to send 20,000 infantry against the 50,000 Xianbei army, it felt that cavalry had little advantage over infantry. Ordinary third-tier county soldiers could only be completely abused in field battles against upper-tier Xianbei cavalry.

"Okay, just as the elder brother said, when Liu Meng comes back and the army is repaired, we will go south immediately!" Shang Ji nodded and agreed with Liu Yi's opinion.

Neither of them mentioned whether the cities along the way would obey orders and cooperate. Shang Ji had never been a bad guy. The sword in the hands of the Xianbei army could kill people, but could it be that the sword in the hands of the Heijia army could not be displayed?

Although Liu Yi is a Chicheng man, it would be a big mistake to see him as a pedantic person. The series of methods used to attack Tian Teng made Shang Ji stunned.
