After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Li Feng didn't want to hit Li Qingqing, but he had to tell the truth.

After all, Li Qingqing had never participated in any military discussions, so it was normal that she didn't know anything about it.

He thought for a moment, then said:

"The Northern Territory is unlikely to sell its horses to us. According to the scouts you captured last time, the Northern Territory intends to form an alliance with the Qi'an Kingdom. This time, the Qi'an Kingdom is attacking our border city, and the Northern Territory is likely to provide reinforcements."

Li Feng paused and thought to himself: This pill is indeed prepared by my own sister. After the enemy scouts took it, within half an hour, they told all the information they knew without reservation.

So he looked at Li Qingqing with a smile and continued, "I have sent scouts to investigate, and there should be news coming back soon."

The Qi'an Kingdom invades the border city every year, but is defeated every year. No one knows how many soldiers are guarding the border city.

Since the Northern Territory is willing to form an alliance with them, the Qi'an Kingdom will probably seize this opportunity and ask the Northern Territory to provide military support.

Li Qingqing thought for a moment and said casually:

"The Northern Territory has always been cunning, always looking to reap the benefits. They hope that we and the Qi'an Nation will both suffer losses so that they can use the opportunity to expand their territory. It is unlikely that they will send a large number of troops."

After Li Qingqing finished speaking, she was suddenly stunned. Somehow, she intuitively felt that the Northern Territory was extremely cunning.

He glanced at Li Feng and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so he felt relieved.

"That's true." Li Feng looked at Li Qingqing with appreciation.

He didn't think much about how Li Qingqing knew Beiyu's personality. He thought it must have been Xie Xuan'an who revealed it.

Li Feng smiled and said, "The Qi'an Kingdom's move is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. I guess the Northern Territory will send at most 10,000 troops."

Li Qingqing nodded in agreement.

Then she thought of the horses again and couldn't help but ponder inwardly.

Although the two countries were at war, private trade was not prohibited.

However, the Northern Territory wanted to win over the Qi'an Kingdom, so they would not sell horses to the Dayuan Kingdom at this time.

It seems that the only way to solve this problem is through private horse trading.

Li Feng seemed to see through Li Qingqing's thoughts and continued, "Even if we can obtain Northern Territory horses from private traders, it will not be easy to transport them back safely."

Xie Xuan'an, who was standing by, heard their conversation and gradually realized that there would be more enemy soldiers attacking the city in the near future, and the number might be quite large.

So he asked, "With so many enemy soldiers attacking the city, can you hold it?"

Compared to buying horses, Xie Xuan'an is more concerned about whether the defense is feasible. After all, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.

When they returned from traveling thousands of miles to buy horses, the city had already been captured.

This...what's the use of these war horses?

Are you planning to send gifts to the enemy soldiers?

However, Xie Xuan'an noticed that Li Qingqing and Li Feng were not panicked by the enemy soldiers attacking the city. He thought that they often discussed military strategies and must have a plan in mind.

Unexpectedly, Li Feng heard Xie Xuan'an's question and replied, "We have to defend it even if we can't! Now we just have to wait for the intelligence to come in and then decide on a countermeasure."

Xie Xuanan: "..."

Normally, as long as the enemy's troops do not exceed ten times the number of defenders, the city is almost indestructible.

This is also one of the reasons why Xie Xuan'an was not panicked when Qiu Shui Town was attacked by bandits.

At that time, when Boss Luo led three thousand bandits to attack Qiu Shui Town, he thought that as long as he occupied Yuntai County, he would be able to firmly hold the city.

However, he did not expect that his men were slow in action and they had to wait until the defense supplies for Qiu Shui Town were ready and reinforcements from the neighboring town arrived before they could finally reach Qiu Shui Town.

It was originally a difficult siege battle, but it was dragged on until Li Qingqing and her group unilaterally defeated the leader of the network.

If he doesn't lose, who will?

But now the enemy soldiers attacking the city are well-trained, and the two countries have formed an alliance to launch the attack together, so there are so many people!

Li Feng actually told him to come up with a temporary solution?

Hey! Li Feng, who has always been reliable, seems to have become a different person since he got a younger sister.

Xie Xuan'an was speechless. He looked at Li Qingqing with resentment.

I thought to myself: You are not even sure whether you can defend the city, but you are thinking about buying war horses. Isn’t it too early?

Fortunately, Li Feng seemed to take Xie Xuanan's feelings into consideration. He did not wait for Xie Xuanan to speak again and continued:

"I've ordered the soldiers to build an inner trench wall beside the moat. From lieutenant generals down to sergeants, they undergo rigorous training every day. Furthermore, the border city is easily defended and difficult to attack, so there's basically no danger!"

Not only will we be safe, but we will also have to beat them so hard that they won't dare to attack for at least a few years!

Li Feng thought to himself that everything that needed to be prepared was now being prepared.

Just wait for the intelligence information to come back, and then formulate a practical combat plan based on the actual situation of the enemy.

If there is a chance, it would be a good idea to steal some war horses.

Li Feng thought about this, then picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "This wine is really good!"

He had just come here specifically to taste the wine and discovered that his sister knew a thing or two about the war.

I couldn't help but sigh, and felt that the wine in the glass was more mellow.

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, Xie Xuanan looked at Li Qingqing and suggested:

"Why don't we sell the bar first? Get some more wine out, and I'll have people sell it. When the time is right, we can consider buying the warhorse!"

Xie Xuanan secretly calculated that the pot just now only brewed more than ten jars of wine, and there was only a thin layer of fermented sorghum missing in the pottery jar. It should be possible to brew at most three hundred jars in total.

This first batch of wine will be temporarily sold to Kyoto and will be sold to other countries when conditions are ripe.

He did not get involved in the war, and gave one-third of the money he earned to Mu Yunjing for the protection and supply of the soldiers, which was also a contribution to Dayuan.

Li Qingqing had originally thought of sending Bai Ye and the others to follow Xie Xuan'an's men to the Northern Territory to buy horses, but after hearing this, it seemed that they probably wouldn't be able to buy any.

She thought about it for a long time, and suddenly seemed to think of something. She said with a smile:

"We need to sell wine and acquire war horses! Since purchasing war horses is so troublesome, when the enemy soldiers come to attack the city, why don't we try to steal all their horses?!"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Xuan'an and Li Feng looked at her at the same time.

Li Qingqing was a little excited. She looked at Li Feng and suggested:

"If the enemy comes to attack the city, they will first set up camp. The stables will be located outside the barracks. I plan to sneak into the enemy camp late at night and quietly drive the horses into the city. When the time comes, all you have to do is open the city gates for me!"

Li Qingqing became more and more excited the more she thought about it. She felt that this was feasible and continued:

"If the Northern Territory sends troops to reinforce the Qi'an Nation, they will undoubtedly be cavalry. If this plan succeeds, wouldn't it mean that the Northern Territory has traveled thousands of miles to send us war horses?"

Li Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "I just wanted to grab a few horses, but you're even greedier than me."

Xie Xuanan was a little surprised and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

"Of course, my sister is gifted and her riding skills are better than yours!" Li Feng spoke immediately without waiting for Li Qingqing to answer.

I've kept this in my heart for so long, and now I can finally show it off.

Xie Xuanan: "..."
