Chapter 668, A Record of Bandit Suppression
When Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan came to this small northwestern town, they didn’t hide the fact that they were rich in the slightest, and they also deliberately acted like they were very generous.
When they indicated that they wanted to borrow a room to fix up, one family even vacated their home for them, and then the whole family stayed at a relative’s house, just because this way they could earn a lot of money from Ren Xiaosu.
The neighbor next to them saw the two of them being very nice, and immediately brought food to Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan again, and even killed one of their own chickens and stewed it up to bring it to them.
Ren Xiaosu, on the other hand, did not refuse, all at the door next, pay, and then brought into the house for Yang Xiaoguan to eat.
Not to mention, this mountain chicken soup really tasted good.
After closing the door, Yang Xiaoguan said while drinking the chicken soup, “Are you planning to tell them that you’re rich, and then wait for them to make a move before destroying all the horse bandits here?”
Ren Xiaosu looked out from the doorway, outside many of the town’s stragglers were quietly talking about it not far from them, he said, “You’ve seen it too, there are so many of them, if we want to kill them directly on the doorstep, won’t they run away, and we don’t have to go all over the mountain to catch them, just two of them, it’s not bad if we can catch one-fifth of them. ”
Yang Xiaoguan asked with a smile on her face, “Before, we did not say that we should declare that we are brother and sister, why did you suddenly change your mind?”
“I’m not thinking that we don’t look like siblings, in case we say that we are siblings, what if it’s a lie.” Ren Xiaosu muttered.
Yang Xiaoguan raised her eyebrows, so she was implying that we were more like husband and wife, “I didn’t promise you anything.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at her, “I went to Qinghe University for you, you said that the person you like isn’t a flower in a greenhouse, so I killed so many bandits and then said that I’m the person you like.”
“Wait,” Yang Xiaoguan was still hearing about this for the first time, she paused for half a day before saying; “I said that casually, obviously you liked me first.”
Ren Xiaosu laughed nervously, “It’s all the same.”
Yang Xiaoguan realized that Ren Xiaosu was usually very shameless, but it was only in his mouth, and his actual actions were as wimpy as ever.
“They are not clear about our situation, I’m afraid they won’t make a move for a while,” said Ren Xiaosu after some thought, “But I always feel that this town is a bit strange, it doesn’t look too much like a horse bandit’s appearance ah.”
However, just at this moment, outside the town came back a line of people, the town’s stragglers even all rushed up: “Lei Zi, I heard that you led people to the north and the grassland people to do business ah, how is it, have you gained?”
Su Lei smiled and patted the fur he was carrying on his shoulder, “Look, what is this?”
Some of the stragglers saw the oily fur and their eyes turned green, some wanted to get on and touch it, but they were dodged by Su Lei and the others.
Su Lei laughed and scolded, “This is the goods that the golden lord gave us on credit, that is the majestic lord of the grassland, you can’t afford to pay for it if you touch it.”
Inside the room, although Ren Xiaosu closed the door, but the movement outside could be heard clearly, “Grassland? Little hibiscus you have knowledge of the grassland? I haven’t come into contact with it before.”
“The grassland side is quite chaotic, it’s all nomads fighting and killing on their own, occasionally going south to plunder factories or stragglers near the 176 barriers, but rarely coming further south,” Yang Xiaoguan thought about it and explained, “But the tribes on the grassland haven’t been to the Central Plains for a few years now, so much so that everyone almost forgot about them. Moreover, there is no strong military armament over there in the grasslands, they should still be stuck in the Cold Weapon Era, with firearms only in the hands of a few, so they are not enough to be feared.”
“Then why doesn’t the Central Plains go and knock them down?” Ren Xiaosu said doubtfully, listening to Yang Xiaoguan, the grassland people’s fighting strength seemed to be very weak.
“It’s not good to fight,” Yang Xiaoguan shook her head, “Not to mention things like not being able to adapt to the water and the terrain, the main thing is that the cattle, sheep and horses over there have evolved to be very powerful, and when they come to the Central Plains, they can still fight a little bit, but when the Central Plains go to the north, and they want to hide, the consortiums can’t catch them at all. Unless there’s a certain consortium that’s willing to fight them to the death, it’s a thankless task.”
Ren Xiaosu understood, on the one hand because of the nomads’ strong mobility, the Central Plains’ armored brigade’s marching speed is only 60 kilometers per hour on average, but people’s nomadic people are finished in minutes, and they want to run or it’s very easy.
On the other hand, there are not many resources on the grassland, the biggest resource is beef and mutton, since there is no big threat on the grassland, there is no need to target the northern grassland, in case it is taken advantage of by other consortiums, it’s not good.
“However,” Yang Xiaoguan’s words changed, “The Central Plains side has been restricting sanctions against the North, banning all people from selling arms to the North, so as to avoid any new problems.”
Ren Xiaosu said doubtfully, “I understand this, but they don’t have tanks or armored vehicles, so if they are given firearms, they won’t be able to cause any problems. Don’t they all say that the age of firearms is the end of the cavalry?”
“No, this is the misunderstanding of many people,” Yang Xiaoguan explained, “In fact, in human history, among the top ten powerful empires, a small half of them were cavalry empires in the Firearms Era, they dragged their artillery to attack the city, and the enemy could not do anything about it. Later on, cavalry was eliminated, that’s because the mobility of horses was outmatched by modern technology, but if the horses also evolved, no one would know what the outcome would really be until they fought.”
Just like what Yang Xiaoguan said, if the grasslanders had hot weapons now, no one was sure if they could fight or not, so there was no need to continue the discussion.
Only to hear the man outside say, “Lei Zi, the goods you guys smashed your pots and pans to buy before look like they were all sold out, right?”
Su Lei laughed, “That’s for sure, and the male lord of the grasslands is very atmospheric.”
“Then since this is the case, why don’t you lead everyone to make money together,” a shrill voice shouted, “It’s not good for us to be horse bandits anymore, why don’t we all follow you, Su Lei, and go into business together.”
But heard Su Lei laughed: “Li Pocky, before let you into the gang when you how to say to come, not said with the grassland people business is not reliable it, also said they have no money, barbaric. It’s a bit late to want to join the gang now, isn’t it?”
“Lei Zi you can’t say that, we all grew up in the same town, can’t you not pull everyone together?”
Su Lei calmly replied, “Not pull.”
It is not easy to have a good way out, Su Lei will not allow anyone in the town to spoil his business.
Suddenly, the shrill voice asked, “Huh, where’s Wang Er Dog? Didn’t he go with you guys, why didn’t he come back?”
