Wind camp, the Chinese Army account. Tang Yin met Li Shu from afar. In addition to his two people, there were Qiu Zhen and the commanders of the Feng army. Li Shu was accompanied by several of his ministries and aides.
After a simple exchange of greetings, the two sides took their seats one after another. Tang Yin is in the middle, Qiu Zhen and other Fengren sit on his right hand side, and Li Shu's Zhen Ren sits on his left.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "it is said that not long ago, General Li led his army to attack a camp of the Sichuan army on the border of Huanzhen. He won a complete victory and wiped out 50000 of them."
The battle was the biggest battle Li Shu had ever fought, and it was also the one he was most proud of. Listening to Tang Yin mention it, his face naturally showed satisfaction, but on the surface, he still pretended to be modest and said: "it turns out that his highness Fengwang has also heard about this battle. It's just a fluke. It's not worth mentioning."
Tang Yin looked up with a smile and said, "the central army of Sichuan, which has wiped out 50000 people, is far from enough to rely on luck." A group of temporarily assembled rebels can annihilate the 50000 Sichuan army in a medium-sized camp in the absence of materials and armaments. I'm afraid that only Zhen people can do this. This war also made Tang Yin feel afraid of Zhen people again. Of course, his fear does not appear on his face, but only exists in his heart.
Li Shu laughed and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, the king of wind, is very serious."
"I also heard that General Li wanted to rebuild the kingdom of Zhen in Zhendi?" Tang Yin asked casually.
Li Shuzheng wanted to tell the truth, but before he could open his mouth, a middle-aged man sitting on his left side preempted him and said, "the restoration of Zhenguo is just a temporary slogan used by my general. Its purpose is to attract more people with lofty ideals to come and join hands to resist the Sichuan people."
The middle-aged man, named Li Cong, is one of the most important counsellors under Li Shu's command. He has a sharp mind and deep city government.
He knew that in front of Tang Yin, he could never mention the restoration of the state of Zhen. Feng was one of the culprits for the collapse of the state of Zhen. Talking to Tang Yin about the restoration of the state of Zhen would only arouse his vigilance and hostility.
Li Shu is also very clever. After listening to Li Cong's words, he immediately understood his intention. He bowed his hand to Tang Yin and said in a straight tone: "what Mr. Li said is very true. Your highness Fengwang, I only want to lead the Zhen people to drive away the Sichuan people. As for the restoration of the country, I have never considered it."
Tang Yin laughed, nodded a little, and said slowly, "the country has perished, the Chinese people have been displaced, they have been bullied by outsiders, and the Zhen people have the heart to restore the country. This king can understand that."
Li Shu's face was upright, but he didn't think about it. He said solemnly, "Your Highness, I really don't want to restore the country."
Oh! Li Cong sighs in silence. Although the Lord and the wind king are of the same age, but in terms of mind, the Lord is far behind.
Feng Wang's words are obviously still trying to make a test. However, if a virtuous person hears this, he will feel sad. He will sigh or he won't answer. But the Lord doesn't even want to think about it. He immediately shows that he doesn't have the heart to restore the country. This is too false.
Sure enough, when Li Shu finished, Tang Yin sneered in his heart. Lizi was cunning and insincere! However, there was no change in the expression on his face, which was still with a smile. He asked casually, "what are general Li's plans for the future?"
Li Shu pondered for a moment, and then said, "to be honest with your highness, I intend to expand westward and compete with Sichuan people on the basis of Zhenxi."
However, if there is a mistake in the Tang Dynasty, he said, "if there is no sound of rubbing the chin."
Zhenxi borders on several foreign countries, and is often harassed by foreign countries. In the past, when the state of Zhen existed, it also stationed heavy troops in Zhenxi and strictly guarded the border. Now, the state of Sichuan has taken over Zhendi, and the troops stationed in the western border have become the Sichuan army.
Li Shu laughed bitterly and exclaimed, "Your Highness the wind king knows everything in the world. The main central army of Sichuan is indeed stationed in Zhenxi. Among them, Jinggu County has 16 corps of Sichuan state, Bainan county has 17 corps, fantiao county has the most troops, including the ninth and eleventh regiments. The total strength of Sichuan in these three counties is more than 400000. "
Tang Yin nodded and asked with a smile, "how many soldiers and horses does general Li have now?"
"Oh, no, less than 200000."
"With less than 200000 troops to fight the 400000 central army of Sichuan, does general Li think he has a chance to win?" Tang Yin asked curiously.
Li Shu was helpless and said: "if we can't pacify Zhenxi, we can only survive in the crack of the Sichuan people's power. We will always face the situation of being attacked by the enemy. If we want to expand and compete with the Sichuan people, pacifying Zhenxi is the most important step. Of course, with our current strength, we can not compete with the Sichuan army stationed in Zhenxi. Therefore, I came to Shangjing today to meet his highness Fengwang and discuss the alliance between the two sides. As long as we can get the help of Fengguo, as long as we have enough armaments and food, I can guarantee that in less than half a year, our troops will be able to compete with the Sichuan army in Zhenxi! "
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "after the pacification of Zhenxi, I can take Zhenxi as the foundation, expand eastward, and completely expel the Sichuan people from Zhendi. As long as his highness Fengwang is willing to help me, after we drive out the Sichuan people, I will give Longhu County as a reward and give it to Fengguo. "Tang Yin blinked his eyes, smiling, silent. Seeing that Tang Yin didn't speak, he thought that he thought his reward was too light. He immediately said, "if your highness Fengwang is not satisfied, I can give Jinji county to"
before he finished, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "those are all later words. Let's not talk about it now. General Li said first, how much armament and food do you want our Fengguo to assist you?"
"This," Li Shu subconsciously looked at his subordinates, pondered for a moment, and said, "we now need at least one regiment's armament, military funds, 200000 liang of military pay and 1 million stone of grain and fodder."
The armaments and military resources of an army corps are equivalent to hundreds of thousands of sets of armor and weapons (100000 sets are normal needs, and tens of thousands of reserves are needed for replacement) as well as large equipment such as no less than 100 stone throwing machines. If one stone is used as one or two silver, it is equivalent to one million taels. If you add up 200000 liang of military pay, the total amount must be at least 5 million taels.
In Li Shu's opinion, he is a lion and ready to be "bargained" by Tang Yin.
In Li Shu's opinion, 5 million taels is an astronomical figure. However, in such a windy country at present, it is nothing. Even if it costs a lot of money to build several official residences of ministers in Shangjing.
Tang Yin, holding his chin, was still deep in thought.
Seeing this, Li Shu subconsciously looked at his subordinates. At this time, many generals and counsellors even winked at him, suggesting that he wanted too much and should not ask for so many things from the wind king at the first meeting.
Li Shu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Your Highness the wind king"
Tang Yin raised his hand and interrupted him. What he is thinking about now is not how much Li Shu asks for, but whether Li Shu is worth his help and whether he should help him.
If Li Shu can't support the mud on the wall, no matter how much he helped him, it would be a waste of Fengguo's resources. If Li Shu is really a talented person and has great talent and vision, his assistance to him may turn into tiger breeding and eventually suffer from it. Therefore, it's really hard to hold back.
Tang Yin was a little uncertain. He turned to Qiu Zhen and asked him what he meant.
Qiu Zhen smiles and looks at Li Shu, who is opposite him. He says, "I heard that General Li has a lot of talents under his command. I wonder if we can open our eyes and see the strange people under General Li's command today?"
Li Shu did not dare to have slightest slightest intention to Qiu Zhen. He leaned over and said, "Qiu Xiangyan is heavy. There are no strange people and scholars among my subordinates, and I can't compare with the strong general of Fengguo."
"Ha ha!" Qiu Zhen looked up with a smile and said, "as soon as General Li opened his mouth, he asked our Fengguo to assist an army corps with military funds, armaments and food. If General Li's command does not even have strange people and strange people, I think it is no longer necessary for our Fengguo to assist you."
"This" Li Shu's body shook, and his face changed. At this time, a big man dressed as a bodyguard standing behind him stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "I'd like to make a fool of myself!"
This big man has big arms and a round waist. His arms stretch out with children's thighs. His face is full of transverse flesh. He walks suddenly and trembles. With his dark skin, he looks like half an iron tower.
Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and other generals looked at him up and down. Qiu Zhen looked at Li Shu and asked with a smile, "General Li, this is"
Li Shu quickly arched his hand and said, "this is our general, whose name is Raymond." He quickly said to his highness Qiu Xiangfeng: "I've seen him in a low voice."
The great man named Lei Meng came out of Li Shu's back and came to the center of the big tent. He bowed to Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen respectively, and said in an impassioned voice: "villain Lei Meng, I've seen your highness Feng Wang and Qiu Xiang!"
Tang Yin looked at him with a smile and asked, "Raymond, what are you capable of?"
"Tell your highness, I have great strength!"
"Oh? There are so many powerful people in the army. What is your difference? " Tang Yin asked with a smile.
What he said really caught Ramon. He was strong, but he couldn't tell what was different. He held for a long time, then faltered and said: "villain's strength is very strong!"
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin was made to laugh by him, nodded and said, "in this case, let me see how strong you are."
"Yes Raymond stepped in and looked around, as if he were looking for something to test his strength, but he couldn't find the right one. When his eyes fell outside the camp, his eyes brightened and he strode out without saying a word.
