"General Lin, your expectations are good. ”

Xifeng Yingshan smiled bitterly and said: "My party is indeed different from your Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty, although our party is the Emperor of our party, but the army is owned by each royal family, and the number of troops they have is not the same, but they all accept the transfer of the imperial city in wartime." ”

"Then raising troops on weekdays is also for the royal families to take care of themselves, not like my Southern Dynasty, where the military department uniformly allocates military salaries from the treasury?" Lin Yi nodded, and then asked.

Fine Feng Yingshan said: "That's true, who raises more soldiers, and is also prosperous in the court, which also shows that this royal family is strong, and now for example, the weakest in the royal family is quite Chao, but there are 70,000 troops, but the Tuoba clan has as many as 400,000 troops." ”

Lin Yi said: "In fact, your party is similar to the previous Shang and Zhou dynasties in history, strictly speaking, your royal family is more like a feudal prince, and you should also have your own fiefdoms, and you usually do your own thing." It's just that unlike those dynasties, the emperors of those dynasties themselves are the biggest gate lords, and the princes and kings who are divided are also their relatives. ”

"Indeed, it is similar, strictly speaking, our party is like a combination of eight small countries with different surnames. "Xi Feng Yingshan was already thinking about his own calculations in his heart at this time, but talking to Lin Yi really knew everything and said everything, "Just like before, we gathered nearly a million troops, although the unification is under the command assigned by the Mi Bao clan, but the Mi Bao clan's own army is only 200,000, Tuoba clan, The number of troops in the Rhi clan is more than theirs, if there is a real war, the royal family's own army is also a legion, and they all calculate their own losses with each other, and the first thing each royal family thinks about is to preserve the strength of their own legion as much as possible, and it will not be like the army of your Southern Dynasty. ”

"Those dynasties in history, it is true, as soon as there is a war in the central dynasty, it will order all the vassal states to send troops, but whether these vassal states contribute or not only depends on the degree of loyalty to the central dynasty. ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, looked at the fine seal Yingshan and said: "Don't hide it, I dared to let out the rumors before, and I wanted to enter the party, just because I felt that your party army was not as strong as the Northern Wei Dynasty, and although I didn't know that your royal family included eight tribes, but the party and the legions fought each other, which was heard of." ”

"In fact, except for the Xiaba clan and the Tuoba clan, the rest of our clans have not had much contact with the outside world, whether it is the Southern Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty, or the farther countries in the Western Regions. Although the fine seal Yingshan seems to be a coward on the battlefield, but when it comes to these things, it is obvious that the superior has an innate shrewdness, he squinted his eyes and said: "We didn't have much contact with General Lin and you Southern Dynasty people before, but today I see that General Lin is acting boldly, so I also dare to ask, General Lin wants to conquer the party item this time, does he want to completely conquer the party item for the Southern Dynasty and occupy the party item as a state and county, or just want to solve the hidden danger of my party's march?"

"You are direct, and I certainly can't tell lies. ”

Lin Yi laughed freely, and said: "The great enemy of the Southern Dynasty is always the Northern Wei Dynasty, before sharing life and death with the Northern Wei Dynasty, where did the Southern Dynasty have the strength to completely destroy the party, you see that although the emperor of my dynasty gave me a general of the eleventh class, he only asked me to come to the edge of the town, and did not allocate a hundred thousand troops to me." How many men do I have in this Tiece Military Region? Even if you don't move a single soldier in the party, I will not have enough people to occupy many cities. ”

"Interesting. ”

Xi Feng Yingshan stroked his beard and couldn't help laughing, the solemnity in his heart at this time was gone, and he felt that Lin Yi was not only interesting, but this person was also very interesting.

"Therefore, General Lin, your ultimate goal is naturally to ensure the stability of the west, and there is no army of our party to take advantage of the war between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack and harass the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, that is to say, as long as we ensure that our party project will not interfere with the war between your Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the long run, even if the Southern Dynasty destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, I am afraid that there will not be much interest in our party, just as there is not much interest in the territory of our team Tuyuhun and the territory of those countries in the Western Regions. ”

Finely sealed Yingshan relaxed, and what he said was also interesting, "Tuyuhun and those countries in the Western Regions are the same as our party, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is not lacking, and the population is sparse, so people can't occupy it, of course, Tuyuhun also has a lot of good things in the Western Regions, crystals, beauties....But although we are interested in their crystals, gems, and beauties, it's like we want to eat millet rice, but we don't want to occupy the cultivated land by ourselves, and grow millet to eat by ourselves, they are ready-made, we can buy it, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Interesting!"

Lin Yi laughed, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xifeng Yingshan, and said, "I like to talk to smart people like you." ”

Xi Feng Yingshan immediately laughed, and even squeezed his eyes at Lin Yi, and said: "So if I think for General Lin, if General Lin wants to enter my party, it is best to fight a few victories and spread them to the Southern Dynasty, so that all the people will respect them again, and at the same time obtain some substantial benefits for General Lin to gain a foothold in our party in the future, then it is the best." As for my party, since we can't occupy it, and the climate and customs will not be liked by the people of the Southern Dynasties, the adults must not have completely swallowed up the idea of governing the country by themselves, and I heard that there is an old saying in the Southern Dynasties, rabbits and dogs are cooked, and birds are all hidden. ”

Lin Yi laughed again, one of the two of you laughed, and I laughed, which made Bai Yuelu and the others around laugh out loud.

"It seems that Brother Yingshan, you still have something you want to talk to me about. Lin Yi's eyes lit up with a smile, and he said very meaningfully.

"That's nature. ”

When he heard Lin Yi and himself call him a brother, his face suddenly became more radiant, his eyes looked at Lin Yi directly, and his eyes were full of undisguised greed, "General Lin, although my fine seal family is not the strongest in the royal family, it is not too weak, and I fine seal Yingshan, as long as there is a strong outside force, I should be able to have the right to decide in the fine seal clan, General Lin, you want to enter my party anyway, you are so strong, in my opinion, it is natural to win all battles, but if I help, it will be a little easier." ”

"What I said just now is refreshing, Brother Yingshan, you are beating around the bush now, and you don't have to do it in the future. ”

Lin Yi smiled like a flower, "So what you mean by Xifeng Yingshan is that I will help you become the leader of the Xifeng clan, and then join forces with the Xifeng clan to force the Tuoba clan and the Xiaba clan, and then the Xifeng clan will be in charge of the party, we will share our own interests, and the border will be safe." ”

Fine Feng Yingshan laughed, in the laughter, his eyes were solemn, clenched his fists in his chest, and said: "It is as General Lin said, where do I dare to be called a brother by you, as long as we can achieve such a big thing, I will not recognize the emperor of the Southern Dynasty in the future, only you, as long as General Lin can afford it, I will recognize you as a brother." ”
