As early as ten years ago, in order to expand his influence and let himself take root in the North, Chen Heng adopted a policy of actively going out and trying to make good friends with the nobles of the North.

The nobles multiply, and basically every family, in addition to the eldest son who has the right of inheritance, has a large number of clansmen who cannot be arranged.

Where these people go is undoubtedly a headache.

As second sons and even partial branches, these people have no right of inheritance, and can only get a small amount of property and even other help.

Under the rules of this age, it is difficult for them to have a decent life like their fathers did.

But Chen Heng solved a problem for them to a certain extent.

Different from other lords of this era, Chen Heng's territory has a complete bureaucratic system, which involves all aspects and is very complete.

A perfect ruling system naturally requires a large number of administrative officials for execution.

And those second sons of nobles who could not be placed with others were targeted by Chen Heng.

In this era when the common people were generally illiterate, these second sons of nobles were born among the nobles and were basically able to read and write. Some of them might have mastered other skills. They were the best and only source of officials in this era.

Therefore, in the past ten years, with the development of Chen Heng, a large number of clansmen from other nobles have gathered in his territory.

At this level, there are naturally many people who are loyal to him.

However, among them, there are very few lords like Krudo.

Among those loyalists, there are more landless nobles who have no territory and are eager to obtain territory through Chen Heng.

"His Majesty Oliman ordered me to call up the army and go to fight the rebels."

Sitting in the hall, Chen Heng's face was calm, looking at Kurudo and said so.

"Fighting the rebels?"

The voice fell, and the expressions of everyone present changed.

Leaving from one's own territory and going to an unfamiliar place to fight the rebels is not a matter of lip service, and there are many things involved.

How to arrange food, how to guarantee logistics? Where will the army be drawn from, will it cause the territory to be empty and cause accidents?

There are many problems just on the surface.

And there are more problems beyond the battlefield.

Especially with the current situation, do they still support Oliman to fight those rebels?

These are questions.

Thinking of this, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help changing, and then they all looked forward and stared at Chen Heng.

At present, in the entire Soda, the only one who can make a decision is Chen Heng.

His thoughts are the most important factor in deciding whether to play or not.

Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Chen Heng's face was calm, but he silently raised his head and said, "If we really go into battle, how many troops can we bring out now?"

"Without affecting the defense, about 5,000 people can be taken out."

Someone thought for a moment, and finally said so.

"Five thousand people."

Chen Heng nodded.

These five thousand people are the wealth he has accumulated over the past ten years.

Although it looks good, it is completely comparable to the number of troops in history that move hundreds of thousands to millions, but it is already the result of Chen Heng's best efforts.

After all, Soda's foundation is too bad, it was just a blank slate at the beginning.

Although Chen Heng has tried his best to develop in the past ten years, attract the population, lead the tribe, and buy slaves to fill it, the population of Soda today is only a few hundred thousand.

With this small population, it is already the limit to be able to support 10,000 troops.

And among these 10,000 people, only 5,000 people can be selected.

Of course, although this number is nothing in Chen Heng's view, in the eyes of other lords of the Kutu Kingdom, it is already an extremely large number.

The lords of this era were generally poor. Except for a few big nobles, there were actually not many soldiers in the hands of the other small lords.

Just like Chen Heng's father, Baron Kaysen, the number of guards in the entire territory was only three or four hundred.

At this moment, the rebels in the south are so powerful, but their core combat power is probably less than 10,000 people, and they belong to different lords.

In the eyes of Kurudo and others, Chen Heng's strength is already very strong, and it is the first in this northern land.

However, in Chen Heng's view, this number of troops is still somewhat insufficient.

It's not that the fighting power is not enough.

In fact, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of his army, Chen Heng has put a lot of effort into it.

The army in his hands is an army that fights against foreign races every day. Not only does it often face battles, but its daily food training is not bad at all.

As far as their training level is concerned, if they are placed in the army of other lords, they will probably cause a mutiny immediately.

There is no shortage of training, logistics, equipment, and actual combat.

Such an army must have good combat effectiveness.

And in fact it is.

In recent years, Chen Heng has not only fought against the army of the northern lord in addition to the expedition against foreign races.

For the army of the southern lords, who are considered to be the elite of the northern territories, facing the army at Chen Heng's hand, they can't be matched with the same number of people, and they will be easily defeated.

beat.

The lords of the northern land fought all year round, and the combat effectiveness of the army was stronger than that of the south.

Even they were, let alone the army of the South.

It's just that although the combat power is sufficient, it may not be enough to achieve a larger goal.

If he wanted to defeat the southern army, Chen Heng's 5,000 men were enough.

But it may not be enough to control the vast territory and achieve the effect Chen Heng wanted.

After thinking about this, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Kurudo: "If I ask the lord of the North to send an army to set out with me, how many people can be recruited?"

Chen Heng said lightly.

Looking at Chen Heng, Kurudo was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he reacted with a straight face: "The Ola family is willing to take out five hundred people to follow."

"The Kasso family is willing to take out three hundred people."

"The Sorin family is willing to give four hundred..."

"The Victor family can come up with three hundred..."

A burst of sound fell on the spot.

In the presence, in addition to Krudo, there were also several small lords, who also secretly swore allegiance to Chen Heng.

The number of troops brought out by these people increased, and in a short period of time, they gathered another 1,500 people.

"Send news to several other families for me, saying that I want to entertain them at Soda."

Listening to the words of Kurudo and the others, Chen Heng showed a smile on his face. At this time, he couldn't help but smile: "By the way, please send the army together to assist me."
