When all the aristocratic families in the Persian Gulf were shrinking, Shanyang Wang, who had not received any news at all, felt something else from the sudden tightening of wind.
"Have the major families suddenly begun to shrink?" Wang Lin asked the housekeeper cautiously while looking at the news sent back by her own spy.
"Yes, all the aristocratic families in the Persian Gulf have begun to shrink." The steward said very cautiously, "Master, should we take this opportunity to accelerate expansion, or should we shrink the front?"
"Comprehensive contraction, it seems that we missed important news." Wang Lin said with a solemn expression, "Use War Eagle to send a message to directly ask Cao Sikong. We have no one there, but we took the initiative to ask, and there is no way they would not inform us. I'll wait, but be prepared for war before that. It's not easy to stand firm in this place in the Persian Gulf."
"Yes, Master." The butler bowed very respectfully and left quickly.
"Wei's move is really troublesome. If you do it, now is not the time. If you don't do it, your family will die in vain. And based on the thoughts of those in Taiyuan, if the opponent really comes from the Persian Gulf, I am afraid that now We have already started to support the leader." Wang Lin said to herself with a serious expression after the housekeeper left.
"But the Hanoi Zhang family doesn't want to be in the limelight. My family hasn't arrived, so it should be the Pei family." Wang Linxu knocked on the table, her expression not at all relaxed.
Originally, the Wang family from Shanyang was just running with him, hoping to seize the opportunity to make some money. However, when Wei family did this, Wang Lin felt a little uncomfortable.
Wang Lin is not a fool, and he has a clear mind. If his family were not here, the Wei family would definitely have a way to negotiate with several other families, especially since there is a Taiyuan Wang family among them who is disrupting the situation. In all likelihood, it will be done by now. Alliance form.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Lin inexplicably felt that her family's move was really bad, but it was at this point, and it was hard to say anything. She misjudged Wei's mentality, and she should pay the price, but she was eliminated in this way. Outside, it feels a little uncomfortable.
"This is a bit of a headache." Wang Lin knocked on the table and said. The Shanyang Wang family didn't care that the Pei family became the leader of the Persian Gulf Alliance. In fact, no matter how well the Pei family was hidden, it would be useless to these wealthy families. Yes, they all have their own calculation methods.
After all, there are only so many positions. Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, who won two thousand stones, add up to more than twenty positions. Excluding some of the positions that are difficult to move, there are only seventeen or eight. These families compete for these positions. Every position Anyone who stares feels it.
People who dare to stare at these positions are either strong enough to be recognized, or they are newly promoted families who want to compete for status, and the Pei family is the latter.
If these families live to this extent and don't even pay attention to the challengers, these families will live in vain. Therefore, even if Wang Lin is not very clear about the strength of the Pei family, she can roughly feel that the other party does have the ability to compete with wealthy families like them. Capital to take a chance.
Therefore, under the instigation of families like the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hedong Wei family, there is a high probability that they will take over the position of the leader. After all, the other party may not be afraid of the Shanyang Wang family if they really take action, not to mention the current situation. It is impossible to take action.
"I feel really uncomfortable now. It seems I have to use some of my family resources." Wang Lin reluctantly opened her family's roster to see who her opponent was. Just by looking at the postures of other families, Wang Lin could guess at a lot. Therefore, they all know where their opponents will appear from.
After making up her mind, Wang Lin checked off the roster and threw it aside. Since the rules used in the country are no longer suitable at present, then she will use the response method of the military nobles. It cannot destroy your will, but you can destroy yourself. .
With such a decision, Wang Lin decisively launched the private soldiers she had trained for more than ten years. Didn't some people ask where they went after the disbandment of Sanhe and Five Schools?
Except for those who were disarmed and returned to their fields, the others are all in the hands of the descendants of those three gongs and nine ministers. There were more than 50 types of legions in the Han Dynasty. The country had no money to keep them, but the major families did not mind replicating part of their own private soldiers as inheritance. at home.
The number may not be much, but it is definitely enough as a seed. The Shanyang Wang family reproduced the legion during the reign of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, which was passed down from generation to generation. Although they were concerned about the Central Plains policy when they were in the Central Plains, they would not dare to retain the seeds even if they kept the seeds. It has become an army, but now it has come out. My family has trained a top dual talent in one year. Blessed by our ancestors, are you not convinced?
As for why the legions from the reign of Emperor Han'an were reproduced, it's because during the reign of Emperor Han'an, the Wang family was serving as captains. When the discharge was issued, I arranged an errand for you. How about you come to my house to serve as a nurse? My son will be admitted to my house for you. Private study.
Faced with the document issued by the current Taiwei, most of the soldiers who were discharged from the army would not refuse. After all, it would be a fool's errand to go back, and it would also be a fool's errand to work as a nurse for the Taiwei, not to mention that they could let their own boys join the Wang family. Private education, no loss, no loss.
Although some members of the Wang family have served as Third Duke since then, it is very different from when they could pick and choose, so the original seed has always been retained and has not been replaced.
As for retaining multiple seeds, to be honest, the investment is too high. When major families have the opportunity to do this, they only do it just in case.
After all, raising troops is very expensive. It is relatively easy to retain a seed of 500 people and pretend to be your own nursing home. But if you retain the Three Rivers and Five Schools and fully copy the Central Army as a seed, it will be really difficult. It's a waste of money.
However, although this inheritance model can retain relatively stable seeds and can be resurrected into new legions, it is still somewhat different from its peak period. Fortunately, there are many wars in Central Asia. After the seeds are revived, they can just start killing. Just rely on war to sharpen your skills.
This is also the reason why families that can be classified as wealthy families already have a trump card in two years or one year. After all, when each family is in charge, they always make plans for their own future. Plans like seeds are not worth mentioning. I don’t know who proposed it, but they all did it tacitly. I dare not say that there are seeds in those traces in the past, but it is definitely not too much to say that most of them are.
"Forget it, use this legion. If exposed, expose it." Wang Lin breathed out, and finally decided to use the fantasy soldiers that have been fully formed. Of course, this refers to the soldiers who have been fully formed in the eyes of normal families and normal generals. The fully formed Fantasy Soldiers Legion, in fact, on the side of the Shanyang Wang Clan, they already have the correct direction to improve the Fantasy Soldiers.
The Shanyang Wang family has relied on other methods to complete the unsolvable operation of coating. In addition to following the right path, there are also crooked ways in this world, but as long as you are strong enough, it makes sense.
"Let's test the water first. Throw a few thousand Illusion Soldiers and let them float as dead corpses in the sea. It would be a waste to fly there. If you put the corpses along the sea water, it will last longer." Wang Lin circled this point silently. Get up and deal with Kushan, this is a very troublesome matter.
With this idea in mind, the Shanyang Wang family quickly acted. The five thousand fantasy warriors were thrown into the sea by the Wang family. They were dragged into the sea with the rise and fall of the tide. The remaining Shanyang Wang family did not care. , they just use this thing to confirm something.
If Huangfu Song saw this practice, he would probably lament the imagination of the Wang family.
Therefore, on their way to the Persian Gulf by boat along the coastline, the Kushan army encountered a strange scenery.
"What, you said there are a lot of floating corpses on the sea?" Brahe looked at Lebrali in confusion and asked, and walked out of the cabin.
"Yes, our lookout said that there were a large number of floating corpses floating in front of us. I am afraid there are thousands of them. It should be the result of a large-scale naval battle." Lebrali said that the lookout hand could not reach it. News notified to Brahe.
Brahe was really stunned at this time. A naval battle would actually happen here. No, I didn't hear that the Han army had a shipyard here.
"Order the entire army to be on alert and send small boats over for reconnaissance." Brahe gave the order after thinking for a moment. Their goal was very clear, which was to go to the Persian Gulf and plunder, where the Han Dynasty had moved. There are quite a few aristocratic families, but compared to military legions, these scattered aristocratic families are obviously easier to deal with.
Therefore, Zhu Helai planned to use Kapil's army as a target to attract the attention of the Han Dynasty, and then Brahe would lead twenty warships across the sea to attack the aristocratic families along the Persian Gulf.
This plan is very correct. Brahe himself is also good at commanding the army. Although he was beaten several times by Zhang Ren, he is still young after all and is not useless. He is still determined to continue fighting.
In addition, Brah was one of the very few generals who luckily escaped from the Battle of Brahmas. With the current situation in Kushan, Vesudeva I, although he did not say it explicitly, had already begun to reuse these military commanders who had gone through many Han battles in his behavior. A veteran who is still immortal in your war.
"Be prepared for the group defense style, and then move closer after it is activated." Brahe ordered loudly, and more than 20 warships under his command slowly came to a standstill. After slowly establishing the group defense style, a ship carrying The boat with thirty people moved closer to the floating corpse.
As the boat approached, the floating corpses did not change at all and were still drifting with the current. However, after getting closer, the Kushan soldiers discovered that these floating corpses were all fully armored, and the exposed skin did not have the swollen and pale appearance of normal floating corpses. It was still the same as before. A normal look.
These veterans who had experienced the war between the empires were naturally on guard. When they were two hundred steps closer, the leader of the team waved to the sharpshooter on the side, and shot him with an arrow. The floating corpse exploded, and everyone People were shocked.
However, before they could shout, Brahe and others who were far away on the warship had clearly seen that the corpse floating on the sea stood up in a state that was completely inconsistent with the standing up of human beings.
