V3.Chapter 65

Wind camp, Chinese Army account. Tang Yin met Li Shu, who had come all the way. In addition to the two of them, Qiu Zhen and the commanders of the Feng army were present. Several of his ministries and staff came with Li Shu.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two sides took their seats one after another. Tang Yin is in the middle, Qiu Zhen and other feng people sit on his right hand, and Zhen people led by Li Shu sit on his left hand.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "I heard that General Li led his army to sneak attack a Sichuan army camp on the Huanzhen border not long ago. He won a complete victory and wiped out 50000 Sichuan troops."

This battle is the biggest battle Li Shu has ever fought and the one he is most proud of. When Tang Yin mentioned it, his face naturally showed satisfaction, but on the surface, he still pretended to be modest and said: "it turns out that his Highness the king of wind also heard about this battle. It's only a fluke, not worth mentioning."

Tang Yin smiled up and said, "it's not enough to rely on luck to wipe out 50000 people of the central army of Sichuan!" A group of temporarily assembled rebels can completely wipe out 50000 Sichuan troops in a medium-sized camp under the condition of lack of materials and armaments. I'm afraid only Zhenren can do this. This war also made Tang Yin feel afraid of Zhen people again. Of course, his fear will not be on his face, but in his heart.

Li Shu laughed and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness the wind is serious."

"The king also heard that General Li wants to rebuild the state of Zhen in Zhen land?" Tang Yin asked casually.

Li Shu was about to tell the truth, but before he could open his mouth, a middle-aged man sitting on his left preempted 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 with the people of Sichuan."

The middle-aged man who spoke was named Li Cong. He was one of the most important advisers under Li Shu's command. He was smart and deep.

He knew in his heart that he must not mention the restoration of Zhenguo in front of Tang Yin. When Zhenguo perished, Fengguo was one of the culprits. Talking about the restoration of Zhenguo with Tang Yin would only arouse his vigilance and hostility.

Li Shu is also very smart. After hearing Li Cong's words, he immediately understood his intention. He arched his hand to Tang Yin and said, "what Mr. Li said is very true. Your highness King Feng, I just want to lead Zhen people to drive away the people of Sichuan. As for the restoration of the country, I have never considered it."

Tang Yin smiled, nodded slightly, and said slowly, "the country has perished, the Chinese people have been displaced, and have been bullied by outsiders. I can understand that Zhen people have the heart of restoring the country."

Li Shu's face was straight, and he didn't even think about it. He said solemnly, "Your Highness, I really don't want to restore the country."

Alas! Li Cong sighed secretly. Although the Lord and King Feng are similar in age, the Lord is far from being wise.

Feng Wang's words are obviously still tempting. However, if Zhen people listen to them, they will feel sad. They either sigh or won't answer, but the Lord doesn't even think about it. He immediately shows that he has no desire to restore the country, which is too false.

Sure enough, when Li Shu finished speaking, Tang Yin sneered in his heart. He was cunning and insincere! However, there was no change in the expression on his face, still with a smile. He casually asked, "what are general Li's plans in the future?"

Li Shu pondered for a moment and said in a positive tone, "to be honest, your highness, I plan to expand to the West and compete with the people of Sichuan Based on Zhenxi."

Tang Yin rubbed his chin and said in a slow voice, "if I remember correctly, the state of Sichuan has heavy troops stationed in Zhenxi."

Zhenxi borders on several foreign countries and is often attacked by foreign countries. When Zhenxi existed in the past, 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 West have become the Sichuan army.

Li Shu smiled bitterly and said with admiration, "Your Highness King Feng really knows everything about the world. Zhenxi does have the main central army of Sichuan. Among them, Jinggu County has 16 legions of Sichuan, Bainan county has 17 legions, fantiao county has the most troops, including the ninth and tenth legions, and the total military strength of Sichuan in these three counties is more than 400000."

Tang Yin nodded, smiled and asked, "how many soldiers and horses does general Li have now?"

"Oh... Less than, less than 200000."

"With less than 200000 troops to fight the 400000 central army of the state of Sichuan, General Li thinks he has a chance of winning?" Tang Yin asked curiously.

Li Shu's face was full of helplessness, say: "If we can't calm down Zhenxi, we can only survive in the crack of the forces of the Sichuan people. We will always face the situation of being attacked from both sides. If we want to grow stronger and compete with the Sichuan people, calming down Zhenxi is the most important step. Of course, with our current strength, we can't compete with the Sichuan army stationed in Zhenxi, so I came to Beijing today to meet his highness King Feng, Talk about the alliance between the two sides. As long as we can get the assistance of Fengguo, and as long as we have enough armaments and food, we can guarantee that in less than the first half of the year, our troops will be enough to compete with the Sichuan army in Zhenxi! "

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "after calming Zhenxi, I can take Zhenxi as the foundation, expand eastward and completely expel the people of Sichuan from Zhendi. As long as your Highness the wind king is willing to help, after we drive away the people of Sichuan, I will give Longhu County as a reward to the wind country."

Tang Yin blinked, smiling and silent. Seeing Tang Yin didn't speak, he thought he thought his reward was too light. He immediately said: "if your highness King Feng is not satisfied, I can give Jinji county together..."

Before he finished, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "those are all later words. Let's not talk about them now. General Li first said, how much armaments and food do you want our country to help you?"

"This..." Li Shu subconsciously looked at the subordinates around him, meditated for a moment, and said: "we... We need at least one Legion's armaments, military funds, 200000 liang of military pay and one million stone of food and grass."

A Legion's armaments and military capital are equivalent to tens of thousands of sets of armor, weapons (100000 sets are normal needs, and tens of thousands of reserves are needed for replacement), as well as no less than 100 large-scale equipment such as riprap machines. A million stones of grain and grass is equivalent to one million Liang if one stone is calculated as one or two silver. If you add 200000 liang of military pay, it must add up to at least five million Liang.

In Li Shu's own opinion, he has opened his mouth and is ready to be "bargained" by Tang Yin.

In Li Shu's opinion, 5 million Liang is an astronomical figure, but it is nothing here in such a big wind country. Even the money spent on building several ministers' official residences in Beijing is far greater than this amount.

Tang Yin held his chin, still meditating.

Seeing this, Li Shu subconsciously looked at his subordinates. At this time, many generals and advisers winked at him, suggesting that he wanted too much and should not ask King Feng for so much at the first meeting.

Li Shu took a deep breath and whispered, "Your Highness the wind king..."

Tang Yin raised his hand and interrupted him. What he was thinking was not how much Li Shu wanted, but whether Li Shu was worth his help and whether he should help him.

If Li Shu can't help the mud on the wall, no matter how much he helps him, it's useless. It's a waste of Fengguo's resources. If Li Shu is really a talent and has great talent and foresight, his assistance to him may become a danger to the tiger and suffer from it in the end. Therefore, it's really difficult to pinch it in the middle.

Tang Yin was a little uncertain. He turned to Qiu Zhen and asked him what he meant.

Qiu Zhen smiled, looked at Li Shu opposite, and said, "I heard that General Li has a lot of talents and powerful generals. I wonder if we can open our eyes and see the strange people under General Li today?"

Li Shu didn't dare to neglect Qiu Zhen at all. He leaned over and said, "Qiu Xiangyan is too serious. There are no strange people among his subordinates, and they can't be compared with the great generals of the wind country."

"Ha ha!" Qiu Zhen smiled up and said, "as soon as General Li spoke, he asked our country to help a regiment with military funds, armaments and food and salaries. If General Li doesn't even have strange people and strange men under his command, I think our country will no longer need to help 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 hands and said, "I'd like to make a fool of myself!"

This big man, with big arms, round waist, burly and majestic, his arms stretched out as thick as a child's thighs, and his face full of horizontal flesh, walked abruptly and trembled. With dark skin, he really looked like half of an iron tower.

Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and Zhongfeng will look at this person up and down. Qiu Zhen looks at Li Shu and asks with a smile: "General Li, this is..."

Li Shu hurriedly arched his hands and said, "this is the general under guard. His name is Raymond." Then he turned back and whispered, "don't you hurry to meet his Highness the wind king and Qiu Xiang!"

The big man named Raymond came out from behind Li Shu, came to the center of the big tent, bowed his hands to Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen respectively, and said in a muffled voice: "little Raymond, I've seen his highness King Feng and Qiu Xiang!"

Tang Yin looked at him with a smile and asked, "Raymond, what can you do?"

"Your Highness, I have great strength!"

"Oh? There are countless powerful people in the army. What makes you different?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.

He really asked Raymond. He was strong. He couldn't tell what was different. He held it for a long time before he hesitated and said, "villains have great strength!"

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed at him, nodded and said, "in that case, let me see how strong you are!"

"Yes!" Raymond stepped in and saluted, then looked around, as if looking for something that could test his strength, but he couldn't find the right one. When his eyes fell outside the camp, his eyes lit up and strode out without saying a word.
