"Thank you, despotic general." When Wang Cheng heard the despotic general's words, he was immediately overjoyed.
Although the despotic general had given them a lot of resources this time, however, to the poor Rebellion Force, they would never complain about having too many resources. Currently, the lives of many civilians in the Great Lu Dynasty were not easy. Therefore, it was very easy to pull out a group of people to rebel.
The reason Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu didn't have any income before this was because they were expanding their territory. It wasn't because they couldn't find anyone. On the contrary, within the Great Lu Dynasty... There were a lot of people, and there were even more people who couldn't live. It wasn't like the land outside the pass was vast and sparsely populated. Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu didn't expand there. It was because they lacked resources and didn't have enough resources. If they recruited their subordinates, it would not bring any help to their strength. It might even have a negative impact.
Those who joined would definitely cause trouble if they did not have food to eat. They would have conflicts with others. This was for the stability of their troops. It will be very disadvantageous to them. Therefore, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu... They would raise as many people as they could.
Now, the despotic general was willing to give them some compensation. Then, to Wang Cheng, this was naturally a good thing. This meant that his strength would increase significantly. To Wang Cheng of the Rebellion Force who had just become the strongest expert in the Great Lu Dynasty, this would undoubtedly help him stabilize his position. He could also take the opportunity to expand his territory.
Wang Cheng was very satisfied with the result of killing Shi Dafu. Not only had he successfully reduced the number of Competitor he had. Apart from resources, he had also gained a lot of benefits. He had a good impression of ___ this time. After that, when he borrowed soldiers from the despotic general and the others... It would be much more convenient.
"Alright, you can take your men to rest. There will be more battles tomorrow. Tomorrow's battles are the most important." The despotic general said to Wang Cheng.
No matter what the result of the night attack between Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu was, it was only to pave the way for the battle tomorrow. What would decide the future of both sides would depend on the result of the battle tomorrow.
However, tonight, the effect of the night attack by Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu... It was obviously better than what the despotic general had expected. As for the final battle tomorrow... It would also have a more positive effect, which would increase his chances of winning. Therefore, the despotic general was quite satisfied with Wang Cheng in his heart.
Of course, even if it increased his chances of winning, however... As long as there was still Mo Lei on the other side, no one would dare to say that they would be able to win the Fengjue Country army. After all, Mo Lei's name wasn't just a rumor, it was something that had been accumulated through numerous battles. It was absolutely not to be underestimated. Even the domineering general who had always been arrogant wouldn't dare to say it. It was absolutely courting death for him to look down on General Mo Lei.
Therefore, for the sake of tomorrow's decisive battle, the domineering general had to make all preparations. He had to make perfect preparations for the battle on his side. This way, he would be able to have a greater advantage in the battle with Mo Lei.
Wang Cheng clearly understood this point, although he didn't know much about Mo Lei's name. However, through the nervous expressions of the despotic general and the others, with a serious attitude, he could tell that the commander of the Fengjue Country and Great Lu Dynasty's alliance army was... He was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Wang Cheng had just become the only major power in the domain of Great Lu Dynasty, the Rebellion Army. He didn't want to die here at this moment. If they couldn't win this time, his previous plan would be forced to change. The benefits that the despotic general and the others had promised him would all be in vain.
Therefore, Wang Cheng also attached great importance to tomorrow's battle.
He had to win this battle, and there could not be any accidents. For this, Wang Cheng also had to have a hundred thousand yuan plan. This was for the despotic general and the others, and also for himself.
The next morning, when the sun rose, at the camp where the despotic general and the others were at. It was already boiling with excitement. Under the command of his commanding officer, the teams started to move. After a good night's rest, these soldiers were all in good condition.
Wang Cheng was also gathering his subordinates, as well as Shi Dafu's men.
From last night until now, Shi Dafu had brought the people who attacked the camp. Those who survived came back one after another, and after they came back, it also confirmed the news of Shi Dafu's death, which made Shi Dafu's subordinates who stayed in the camp panic.
Originally, they all thought that the night attack last night... Shi Dafu himself wouldn't be in any danger. After all, they were only going to harass the other party, not fight with their lives on the line. There was no need to care about the outcome. Therefore, as long as Shi Dafu was willing... Under such circumstances, how much danger could he face?
However, they had never thought that there wouldn't be any dangerous mission in their minds. It was to take Shi Dafu's life. At the same time, it was the person who was going to carry out the mission. More than half of them had died. However, these people had died after Wang Cheng and the others had retreated. They hadn't received any orders from Shi Dafu to retreat. That was why there were so many casualties.
Moreover, most of the people who went to carry out the mission were old, weak, and disabled. Not many of the elites who could fight had gone. Therefore... In fact, Shi Dafu's forces didn't suffer much loss in terms of strength. If Shi Dafu could return safely, such a loss was totally acceptable.
However, Shi Dafu's death had caused the morale of Shi Dafu's troops to plummet. Furthermore, they were still outside the pass, not in their own territory. There were still enemies around them. This way, the remaining people... Naturally, they would feel terrified.
At this moment, Wang Cheng appeared. He looked at the remaining people. This immediately made the subordinates of Shi Dafu. They felt relieved and grateful to Wang Cheng.
Obviously, these people didn't know that Shi Dafu had died in Wang Cheng's hands. They only thought that Shi Dafu had died in the hands of the Fengjue Country. Now that they had no leader, it was time for them to need someone's help. Most of them were very happy that Wang Cheng could stand out at this moment.
After all, even before this, Wang Cheng was the strongest force in the Great Lu Dynasty. Among Shi Dafu's group, some of them wanted to seek refuge with Wang Cheng. However, after being rejected by Wang Cheng, they decided to seek refuge with Shi Dafu. However, in their hearts, Wang Cheng still held a lot of weight. Furthermore, they also thought that Wang Cheng had the ability. The previous war in Cangling Mountain had also proved this point. Wang Cheng's plan was perfect. It was only because of an accident that the mission failed. That had nothing to do with Wang Cheng.
Therefore, Wang Cheng's prestige in the entire Great Lu Dynasty Rebellion Force was still very high. Now that Wang Cheng had taken the initiative to accept them, they were naturally very happy. In such a chaotic era, an era where death could happen at any time. Following a capable person would obviously increase their chances of survival.
Therefore, after Wang Cheng expressed his goodwill, many people quickly chose to seek refuge with him, and the transition went smoothly.
Of course, not everyone wanted to seek refuge with Wang Cheng. After all, Shi Dafu had some abilities. Furthermore, he had rebelled for many years. There was also a group of loyal subordinates under his command. All of them knew that. Shi Dafu and Wang Cheng weren't on good terms with each other. Therefore, they naturally didn't have a good impression of Wang Cheng. Now that Shi Dafu was dead, they couldn't change their impression of Wang Cheng. Although they didn't know that Shi Dafu was killed by Wang Cheng... However, they still didn't have a favorable impression of him.
After confirming that Shi Dafu was indeed dead, they chose to leave the group and leave.
There were also some people who had wild ambitions in their hearts. Following Shi Dafu previously was just a temporary measure, they just wanted to find a place to settle down. After that, they would plan for something else, but now, Shi Dafu was dead. Wang Cheng's ability was much stronger than Shi Dafu's. If they chose to follow Wang Cheng... They were afraid that they wouldn't have the chance to realize their own thoughts. Furthermore... If they joined Wang Cheng, it would undoubtedly strengthen his strength. It would be even harder for them to achieve something.
Therefore, these people also chose to leave.2
However, the people who chose to leave were only the minority after all. Most of them didn't choose to leave. Instead, they followed Wang Cheng. After all, in this world, if they left... They might not be able to survive. It was better to follow Wang Cheng. This way, they would have a greater chance of living.
Furthermore, many of them didn't have much loyalty to Shi Dafu. There wasn't much difference between following Shi Dafu and Wang Cheng.
It was also because of this that Wang Cheng's strength had increased tremendously all of a sudden. After the matter here was settled, Wang Cheng went to the despotic general and the others. He took the resources that those people had promised him. In that case, his strength would increase even more.
Wang Cheng was looking forward to it.
However, Wang Cheng could still see the gap between his team and the despotic general in terms of assembling. However, he could understand this. After all, his subordinates were all half-educated. Many of them were farmers before, but the Despotic General's subordinates... They were the regular armies of various countries, and there was a gap between them. It was understandable.
Of course, Wang Cheng was also very confident in his future. He believed that as long as he was given some more time... He would be able to train a powerful team. At that time... Even if compared to the Despotic General's subordinates, he believed... It wouldn't be bad either.
