"Chapter 10: The Post-War Secret Discussion"
Fear, which makes people shy away from the right things, is like a timid beast that flees in fear when it hears the wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how shocked everyone in the military tent was, Bai Feng still treated Queen Boudicca so favorably, and Queen Boudicca, who didn't know why, was a little blushing, but she really needed help and still accepted Bai Feng's kindness.
After Queen Boudicca and Eggers had withdrawn from the military tent, Bai Feng began to give specific instructions to his soldiers on how to deal with the aftermath of the war; the bodies of all his own soldiers who died in battle were to be brought back to Rome, and the weapons and equipment collected from the Essini tribe also needed to be returned to them, and the most important thing was to help the warriors of the Essini tribe to repair their ships.
The leaky ships that were shot at by the archers under the command of Gatus could not be used for the transportation of grain, and in order to have enough ships to use when transporting grain in the future, Bai Feng had to let his soldiers help.
Considering that the current of the Cangluo River was too turbulent, Bai Feng suggested tying multiple wooden boats together with chains to increase the safety of crossing the river; this was entirely a copy of Cao Cao's strategy adopted during the Battle of Chibi, and it was not necessarily an excellent way to cross the river without the enemy's use of fire, at least there was no need to worry about the wooden boats turning on their sides on the windy and rough river.
After deploying these things, Bai Feng asked the generals of each legion to go out and do their own business, except for Yue'er who was left in the military tent, even Bai Feng's three retinues were sent to guard outside the military tent.
"Yue'er, do you say that after we get the vassal of the Aceni tribe, will we directly use the army of the Aceni tribe to fight for us? Or will we slowly split and merge their army into our Roman city as we did with the Tassia tribe at the beginning, and use it for our use. ”
After everyone left the military tent, Bai Feng and Yue'er talked about some real serious affairs, and after the city of Rome accepted Queen Boudicca's Aceni tribe as the second vassal force, how the city of Rome would use the army of the Aceni tribe was the most important.
"Yo, do you Governor Bai Feng still know about the vassal relationship between our Roman City and the Acenian tribe?" Yue'er knew what Bai Feng's purpose was in sending the others away, but she still pretended to be surprised, and said to Bai Feng with a slight dissatisfaction:
"Didn't you just think that Queen Boudicca was your sister? And you still want to make sure that she and her Aceni tribe are not bullied by others? Why did you think about using the tribe's army as soon as they left?"
"Hehe, Yue'er, aren't you deliberately embarrassing me?" The cheeky Bai Feng had to pretend that he didn't know anything, because there was no way to explain these things.
"Hmph! Anyway, I don't think that Queen Boudicca is a good person, if she is really a good person, she can still be attacked by someone, and she wants to restore her strength by invading others? I advise you to be careful, don't be deceived by her, I don't know!"
No matter how much I promise to shelter her Aceni tribe, the first premise is that her Aceni tribe must be a vassal force of our Roman city, otherwise, the life and death of the Escini tribe have nothing to do with our Roman city!
Just like the Tasya tribe at the beginning, didn't we also help the Tasya tribe to become stronger step by step? The current Tasya tribal alliance is much stronger than the Tasya tribe in the past, but they are not under our control?
The way we control the Tasya tribal alliance is actually the template for our Roman city to control other vassal powers, and for the barbarian tribes living in the wild land, food and warriors are the foundation of their survival. ”
"You mean, you want to imitate the way we control the Tasya tribe to control the Essini tribe?" Bai Feng's explanation successfully diverted Yue'er's attention, especially Bai Feng's sentence of 'my good Yue'er', which made Yue'er's heart sweet.
In addition to tenderness and sweetness, Yue'er was also brought into the discussion by Bai Feng, she was quite familiar with the way Rome City controlled the Tasya tribe, after all, when Bai Feng implemented those measures, he would discuss with her before implementing them.
"Yes, I think the way we control the Tassia tribe in Rome can be a template for us to control other vassal forces in the savage land, and the Aceni tribe is also a barbarian tribe in the savage land, why can't we control it in this way?"
"However, will the Aceni tribe really accept our control?" The hesitant Yue'er once again raised the doubts in her heart, and before Bai Feng could explain specifically, Yue'er frowned and said:
"Bai Feng, you must know that the strength of this Aceni tribe is not comparable to the Tasya tribe in the past, even if we can slowly control them with food, the huge army they still have will not be so easy to submit to our rule. ”
"That's why I've consulted with you, it's because the Estheni tribe is so strong that I don't know if I should integrate their warriors into our city of Rome by splitting up their army while controlling them with food.
Even if I had used Nelson to obtain the most powerful cavalry of the Essini tribe of more than 6,000 men, it would have taken a long time for those cavalry to be assimilated by our Roman city, not to mention that their Essini tribe still had nearly 40,000 warriors.
Considering the future strategic expansion direction of our Roman city, I think we should change to a more moderate way to slowly turn the army of the Acenian tribe into the army of our Roman city, or rather, let the Acenian tribe become our diehards!"
"Frankly speaking, Bai Feng, have you noticed that the soldiers of the Cheetah Legion and the Tiger Legion have improved their combat effectiveness a lot after receiving the training and weapons and equipment of the Roman City, at least much stronger than when they were original. ”
Just when Bai Feng was trying to solve the problem of the army of the Aceni tribe, Yue'er inexplicably mentioned the problem of the combat effectiveness of the Cheetah Legion and the Tiger Legion;
"Yue'er, if you think of a good way, tell me quickly, you and I are so familiar with each other, what else do you want to sell with me, don't you make me anxious?"
"Cut! Who is familiar with you? If you want to know my method, you must promise me one thing!" Facing Bai Feng's inquiry, Yue'er didn't tell him the slightest meaning, but made a rare request to him.
