The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

"Brother Lin, please stay!"

Zhong Chen called out to Lin Xiaofan, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Because he understood that Lin Xiaofan had gradually fallen into the trap he set.

"Brother Lin, listen to me in detail. If our two countries insist on joining forces with Daliang, although our strength is not strong, we can still cause a lot of trouble to Daqian."

"And if Brother Lin agrees to my request, the armies of our two countries will immediately withdraw from Daliang's territory. At that time, Brother Lin can continue to implement the encirclement strategy and take down the entire Daliang without spending many troops."

"By then, we will be able to replenish 500,000 shi of grain and 5,000 sets of armor in just one year at most. But if Brother Lin insists on attacking us, the price he will pay will be far more than that."

"In this era, if you don't have any weapons, you can fight. It's a big loss for a veteran with rich combat experience to die."

"Brother Lin, I know my request may be a bit excessive. But for a small country like us, we can only be realistic, otherwise we won't be able to survive in this chaotic world."

Seeing Lin Xiaofan stop, Zhong Chen walked up and asked:

"How about you think about it again?"

Lin Xiaofan gradually calmed down, and looked at Zhong Chen with a vicious look in his eyes. Zhong Chen didn't mind at all and kept smiling.

After a moment, Lin Xiaofan walked away:

"Let me discuss this with my emperor and I'll give you an answer in a few days."

"okay."

Zhong Chen quickly agreed, and he knew that the matter was settled.

"Brother Lin, as soon as we get the goods, we will immediately withdraw from Daliang and will not stay any longer."

Zhong Chen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Lin Xiaofan's back gradually recede. If he were in his own camp, he would have laughed wildly.

This time, without any effort, we can get 500,000 shi of grain, 5,000 sets of armor, and 10,000 crossbows.

Moreover, as long as this repeating crossbow can be disassembled and studied and its principles understood, it can be mass-produced.

By then, Nanlong Kingdom's military will be greatly improved.

As for the four counties... they are all in our hands, so there is naturally no reason to withdraw.

Lin Xiaofan's pace became faster and faster, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by his previous calm expression.

Zhong Chen was plotting against him, but wasn't he also plotting against Zhong Chen?

Don't even think about asking him to trade crossbows, armor, and food.

All the way back to the military camp, Jian Feng had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Lin Xiaofan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there any news from Jian Bai?"

Lin Xiaofan asked.

"According to the time calculation, the letter should be delivered soon. With the speed of the Little White Cavalry, it will arrive in about a month. For the infantry, it may take two months."

Jian Feng said.

"Where's the letter to Datang?"

Lin Xiaofan asked again.

"It will take about a month to deliver it to the hands of the Tang Emperor. It will probably take more than two months for him to arrange everything properly."

Jianfeng replied.

"Three months is just right."

Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. This was also his plan.

After Jian Bai defeated the northern barbarians and forced them to flee in panic, the biggest threat to Yantian County was the State of Zhao to the north of the barbarians.

In terms of national strength, Zhao was almost the same as Daliang, but in terms of military strength, it was not as good as Daliang.

Now that Daqian is on the rise, it stands to reason that unless the king of Zhao is stupid, he will not provoke Daqian.

But there are always unexpected events. There is a country between Ningchuan and Daqian. Logically speaking, who would have thought that they would attack?

But it just happened to call me.

Lin Xiaofan suspected that the reason was due to the Tianlang Kingdom.

If the Tianlang Kingdom can persuade Ningchuan to send out 100,000 troops to attack, it can also persuade the Zhao Kingdom to send troops to attack Daqian.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, he wrote a letter to the Tang Dynasty, asking the Tang Dynasty's allies to send troops to put pressure on Zhao.

As a big country, although the Tang Dynasty could not directly send troops to intervene in the fights between small countries, it had no problem in forcing its allies to send troops to help. The Tianlang Kingdom often did this against the Daqian.

The Tang Dynasty had many small allies, including the Yue Kingdom to the north of Zhao.

Lin Xiaofan asked the Tang Dynasty to help put pressure on Zhao. If the Tang Emperor agreed, he would let Yue’s troops sink to the southern border. If Zhao dared to send troops, Yue would also send troops to occupy Zhao.

In this way, Zhao's troubles will be solved, and Daqian can safely transfer the Yantian Army here.

The Yantian Army has more than 20,000 soldiers. Lin Xiaofan wrote a letter to Jian Bai, asking him to transfer 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry.

When they arrive, Daqian will be able to directly destroy the more than 20,000 troops from Nanlong and Jiashan.

At that time, if the 50,000 soldiers in Daliang's capital dared to go out of the city to help, they would be destroyed together. If they did not go out of the city to help, without the harassment of the two flies, Daqian would be able to trap Daliang to death.

Of course, in the competition between countries, the slightest mistake may lead to the risk of national destruction, and Lin Xiaofan cannot pin all his hopes on the Tang Dynasty.

The capital will also withdraw 3,000 iron guards to Yantian County, and Yantian County will recruit 10,000 new soldiers with the volunteers from the Tang Dynasty. Combined with the remaining 7,000 people, it will be an army of 20,000 people.

Jian Bai will also stay in the Yantian Army. Although half of the remaining Yantian Army are new recruits, even if Zhao State attacks, they can resist for a long time or even repel it directly.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Dayu Kingdom from sending troops during the chaos, this winter, the general of Jingneng, Guan Rong, will recruit more than 10,000 soldiers to settle in the fields.

At that time, even if Dayu suddenly sends troops, the capital can be guaranteed not to be lost.

In this way, Daliang has been completely incorporated into the territory of Daqian.

As long as the armies of Nanlong and Jiashan are destroyed here, only 20,000 Qingzhou troops will need to be left at the border, and the remaining 20,000 troops from the capital and the 20,000 troops from Yantian County will all return to their respective places.

"Brother Lin's plan is truly foolproof."

Jianfeng said that it seemed that Daliang had already been incorporated into the territory of Daqian.

"Brother Feng, you are too kind. Brother Feng, there is one more thing I need to do. Ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict to send soldiers, crossbows, and food to the border. The transportation team will be the soldiers of the Yantian Army. After two months, seal the border and don't let any news get out."

Lin Xiaofan said modestly.

He was not sure whether there were any spies of Zhong Chen in the country, so he had to do the whole show.

Next, just wait for the results.

The four countries of Daliang, Daqian, Nanlong and Jiashan all fell into a brief period of peace, but under the peace, the three parties each had their own calculations.

After the last meeting, Zhong Chen was not so presumptuous anymore. At least he would not cause trouble for Daqian for no reason again.

Shi Ning was also completely relieved, and drank and had fun with Zhong Chen every day. With such a big shot who could plan everything well, he would not cause any more trouble.

At the same time, their army blocked a road leading out of the Daliang capital, nominally to help Daqian, but in fact to prevent Daqian from suddenly turning against them.
