Chapter 280: 500,000 soldiers

readx;

After breakfast, Li Xin was invited to the flower hall, and Li Xin knew in his heart that the formal conversation was about to begin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, before I came, I had heard that this Wanhu Marquis was not very easy to deal with, and he was courteous all of a sudden, but it didn't make Li Xin dizzy, whether he could do the things that King Annan had explained was very important to him.

Sitting in the flower hall and drinking tea for a while, Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong arrived, Liu Chengfeng sat unceremoniously in the main seat, and Li Dongdong sat on the left side of Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng's spirit looked good, with a smile on his face, and he looked leisurely.

But Li Dongdong, who was sitting next to Liu Chengfeng, made Li Xin a little unable to see through, this person was in his thirties, and his complexion was very good, but his eyes were very dark, and his every move was elegant, but this humble gentleman-like person had a temperament that was beautiful in the middle, so that Li Xin did not dare to underestimate it.

Li Xin coughed, began to speak, and inevitably greeted and thanked him, this thank you was naturally for Liu Chengfeng's hospitality, Liu Chengfeng also greeted him a few words, only Li Dongdong sat aside without saying a word, with a smile on his face, Liu Chengfeng and Li Xin's conversation, he would not interfere, now he is more of a bystander.

I only heard Li Xin say: "This time the envoy came on the order of the king, as soon as he came, it was to celebrate the marquis of Wanhu, Lianzhou is adjacent to Annan, and it is a friendly country, but I don't know if the marquis has settled down, is there anything that needs help?" ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and continued slowly: "It is said that there are many barbarians in Lianzhou, and they have always refused to accept the king, Hou Ye needs to be careful, I have 300,000 male soldiers in Dayue State, and 500,000 people with armor. ”

Li Xin's tone looked like he was showing favor to Liu Chengfeng, but the threat was also very threatening, what 300,000 male soldiers, 500,000 armor, most of them were only more than 100,000 people, and God knows how many old, weak, sick and disabled people there are.

Liu Chengfeng also began to pay attention to collecting intelligence on the Annan people under the influence of Li Dongdong, and the biggest war launched by the Annan people was only claiming to be 180,000, as for how much water was among these 180,000 people, and how many were militiamen in charge of logistics affairs, except for Annan himself, only God knows.

Liu Chengfeng's prediction is that the military strength of the entire Dayue Kingdom will not exceed 100,000 at most, and the distribution of these 100,000 people is also wide, after all, the main direction of defense of the Annam people is the Nanzhang State in the west, and the Nanzhang State is actually the Laos of later generations, both sides are stationing troops on the border, and the troops placed in the north by the Annamite people will not exceed 20,000 at most.

Liu Chengfeng just laughed, but did not pick up, looking noncommittal.

Li Xin saw Liu Chengfeng's attitude, and felt a little unhappy, it seems that this guy didn't seem to be frightened, since this is the case, he had to give him a dismount.

Li Xin stroked the coffee table next to his elbow, and then said lightly: "This time, my Dayue Kingdom is training troops in Mong Cai, dispatching 100,000 soldiers and horses, and lining up in the northern suburbs of Mong Cai to perform martial arts, I wonder if Hou Ye is interested in watching?" ”

When he said this, Li Xin's face was a little proud, and he couldn't help but shake his head with his short beard. Since this Liu Chengfeng is not afraid of threats, let you have a little color to see, in fact, the dismount that the king discussed with him is this martial arts exercise, not that Da Yue Guo really has the courage to invade Lianzhou, but I just want to let Liu Chengfeng take a look at the military power of Da Yue through this military exercise, scare him first, and as for other things, we can talk about it slowly.

100,000 Vietnamese troops conducted military exercises in Mong Cai.

Mong Street, located in the southeast of Lianzhou, there is an important border town of the Yue people, the north is Lianzhou Mansion, the east is the two counties of Wenshan, here is an open flat land, the Yue people set up a military village here, and it is also suitable to play Wu Yang Wei.

However, Liu Chengfeng didn't think so, what 100,000 troops, only God knows how much water is here, and if there are 10,000 people, it will be considered the top of the sky.

However, the attitude that the Vietnamese people want to show is obvious, there are barbarians in your Lianzhou to make trouble, if you are not honest and obedient, then the Vietnamese people can incite the barbarians at any time, if you are obedient, we will naturally help.

The threat is clear.

Liu Chengfeng's brows couldn't help frowning, he hated others for threatening him the most!

However, Li Dongdong's face looked extremely relaxed, and the smile on his face was even worse.

Li Xin knew that the heat was almost over, and the information he revealed had to be digested by this Wanhu Hou, and he was not in a hurry to ask for benefits now, so he smiled, and then turned the topic to other places, said some customs and customs of the Yue people, and said some words that the Yue King relayed to Liu Chengfeng, and then got up to leave.

Sending Li Xin out, Liu Chengfeng's eyes became murderous, squinted at Li Dongdong, and said, "Why is Mr. Li laughing?" ”

Li Dongdong smiled very brightly, looking calm, and said: "The student laughs more than anyone in sight. ”

Liu Chengfeng also smiled, he had a new charm when he laughed, and then said: "Is Mr. Li thinking, the Yue people have saved us a lot of trouble?" ”

Li Dongdong thought that Liu Chengfeng couldn't see the other meaning of Li Xin's words, so he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What's the matter, Master Hou can also see it?" ”

Liu Chengfeng's face turned cold, and he said: "Of course I can see it, the Yue people are very good at performing martial arts, and they can save us a lot of trouble, since they want to perform martial arts, then someone surnamed Liu will accompany them to perform martial arts!" ”

Li Dongdong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that it's too late, even if I go to the court, between the round trips, the Yue people are already ......."

Liu Chengfeng interrupted him and said, "There is no need to inform the imperial court, has Mr. Li ever heard that the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch?" ”

This time it was Li Dongdong's turn to be dumbfounded, there is nothing wrong with the sentence that the monarch's order is not accepted, but you are just a marquis of ten thousand households, and you are not a general who marches and fights, where will you start outside?

Liu Chengfeng immediately said: "Come on, go and call Wang Tao's officials, Benhou has something to order." After that, he said to Li Dongdong: "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, does Mr. Li dare to take risks with someone Liu?" ”

Li Dongdong glanced at Liu Chengfeng meaningfully, and then said: "Master Hou dare, how can the student dare?" ”

Perhaps because he was infected by Liu Chengfeng's confidence, or because he was eager to make contributions and show himself, Li Dongdong blurted out this sentence by mistake. But in his heart, he knew that Liu Chengfeng was going to move troops, but he was just a marquis, why should he mobilize military horses?

Wang Tao came in quickly at this time, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, then at Li Dongdong, and nodded at Li Dongdong, Wang Tao was a little isolated by Liu Chengfeng's side, not that others rejected him, but Liu Chengfeng's entourage did not read much, even if he wanted to talk to someone, it was difficult to find a soulmate. However, since Li Dongdong came, Li Dongdong's background and knowledge are not comparable to Wang Tao, so Wang Tao is very convinced by Li Dongdong and often asks Li Dongdong for advice.

If it were someone else, Wang Tao might be a little jealous, after all, he had been with Liu Chengfeng for a long time, why did a newcomer suddenly surpass himself and be greatly relied on by Liu Chengfeng? But Li Dongdong is no one else, and the status difference between the two is too far, so Wang Tao didn't have other ideas.

Liu Chengfeng instructed Wang Tao directly: "Commander Wang, immediately go and invite all the civil and military officials from Lianzhou to come, don't leave any of them behind, tell them that Benhou has something to order, give them two hours, and if they can't delay, they will be punished by military law!" "Military Law...... Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, this is not in the army, what is the military justice department doing?

However, since Liu Chengfeng commanded, Wang Tao didn't say anything, made a salute, and hurriedly went to do something.

Liu Chengfeng instructed Li Dongdong again: "Mr. Li has to work hard, immediately repair a few letters, one to the governor of Guangxi, Chen Yao, and inform him, saying that the Annan people have repeatedly violated the border, and Benhou is willing to attack him, so please get ready." The other letter was to Nan Zhangguo, saying that the Ming Dynasty sent 500,000 troops to destroy Annan, and ordered them to assist from the side. ”

This south of the country is close to Annam, but also the Ming Dynasty, these decades, every year by the Annan invasion, the two countries have already formed a feud, just a few years ago, the country of Annam sent troops, falsely claimed to be 180,000, looted the south palm, where it passed, the blood flowed into a river, the important town of the south palm country was broken, 90,000 people were slaughtered by the Annamite people, only more than 2,000 people remained.

Therefore, in Nanzhang, from the king to the Li people, they all do not share the sky with Annan, and Liu Chengfeng is even more angry, and directly said that Daming sent 500,000 troops to conquer Annan.

Liu Chengfeng didn't expect any help from Nanzhangguo, he just hoped that Nanzhangguo could drag down the elite of Annanguo located on the western front of Annan, to put it bluntly, Nanzhangguo was the role of cannon fodder.

Li Dongdong listened to Liu Chengfeng's words, and couldn't help nodding secretly, the preparation for the battle is especially important, Liu Chengfeng let himself repair the book and the south palm, it is indeed a wonderful move, it can be seen that Liu Chengfeng's vision has also been improved to the perspective of the overall situation.

This guy is inevitably learning things too fast, Li Dongdong couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Liu Chengfeng immediately smiled faintly and said, "I will write a book and present all the things here to the palace, and ask Your Majesty to read it." Let's divide up and prepare, time is not waiting for me, if you miss this opportunity, there will be no such opportunity next time. ”

Li Dongdong couldn't help frowning, Liu Chengfeng just said that he would invite the emperor to take a look, which made him a little apprehensive in his heart, you must know that the word "Yulan" means different, the meaning of the Yulan is to inform the emperor, is such a big thing just to inform the emperor? At the very least, you have to ask the emperor to decide.

After all, bypassing the Ministry of Rites, bypassing the Cabinet, and going directly to the Cabinet is not a good thing, and it will be criticized.
