Chapter 581 Separation
"Of course, what His Royal Highness said is very true. It is impossible for Tianlang Country to send all 500,000 troops to attack Daqian. After all, they still have to deal with Daqi in the north. But it is still possible to mobilize 200,000 or 300,000 troops."
Lin Xiaofan was afraid that Li Zhao would hold a grudge, so he added another sentence.
Li Zhao smiled softly and said calmly:
"I didn't think well enough."
"Zhao'er has been in the military camp since he was a child, and his temper is a little wild. It's hard for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize only 50,000 soldiers. How about 30,000?"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty thought about it carefully and said again.
"Your Majesty, 50,000 soldiers and armor are the minimum standard. 30,000 is too much to hold on to."
It takes 50,000 pieces of armor and weapons to produce 50,000 soldiers. Coupled with Da Gan's original army, he can gather an army of 100,000. Once a war breaks out, soldiers from southern Datang can come to support, totaling about 150,000 troops. Together, these armies could barely hold off the Sirius Kingdom's attack.
Hearing this, the field fell silent again.
"Zhao'er, what do you think?"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty turned his eyes to the Crown Prince Li Zhao.
Li Zhao heard this, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Da Qi has been defeated by Tianlang in several battles. There were even two times when Tianlang defeated more with less. In my opinion, Daqi's army is far inferior to Tianlang."
"If I were the Tianlang Kingdom, I would leave 200,000 troops to defend Daqi and another 100,000 troops to defend the rest. The remaining nearly 300,000 elite troops can attack Daqian."
"Although the Tang troops in the south can also support Daqian, their numbers are still limited. In my opinion, 50,000 sets of armor may not be enough."
What Li Zhao said was true. Fifty thousand soldiers and armors were the limit. If there were any changes, Daqian might be defeated. However, if he wanted more, the Emperor of Tang would probably not give them.
Hearing this, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty no longer hesitated and made the decision:
"Okay, then 50,000 sets of armor, can you defend Daqian?"
In the past few days, he has also discussed this issue in detail with several powerful generals in the court. Fifty thousand is indeed the limit of Daqian. Many people even think that fifty thousand sets are not enough.
At the same time, this is also the best solution. If we send troops there, the cost will be even greater. If we leave Daqian alone and Daqian falls, Datang will have to spend more troops to defend the south, and there is always the risk of losing the city.
Therefore, with this, he naturally convinced most of the generals group. As for the group of civil servants, we'll just sort it out tomorrow morning.
Of course, this approach also has a drawback. Once Daqian turns against the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger. However, there are many smart people in Daqian, and everyone knows the ambitions of the Tianlang Kingdom. They will definitely not do such a thing that will harm the country.
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Lin Xiaofan cupped his hands and said.
After agreeing on the weapons, Lin Xiaofan and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty exchanged a few polite words and did not stay any longer.
Watching Lin Xiaofan leave, Sun Wufeng sighed slightly.
"Master, do you think so highly of him?"
The Great Tang Emperor asked. He knew everything that happened in Chang'an City. He also knew about Sun Wufeng giving Lin Xiaofan medicinal wine and the powerful sword technique.
And these days, Sun Wufeng has been saying that the two countries must have a good relationship and must not be at odds with each other.
"Isn't it enough to be ninth on the list of divine generals? Moreover, this man seems to value friendship. If you help him, he will definitely repay you twice as much in the future."
Sun Wufeng spoke.
"But...how can we be sure about things like human nature?"
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty frowned. People can hide. In history, there are many people who have been hiding for most of their lives to achieve their goals, and then became famous in one fell swoop. Even if Lin Xiaofan hadn't hidden it, he might have changed.
In short, he felt it was not worth it.
"He will. Let me see, are you still worried? It will be of great benefit to Datang to be friendly with Daqian in the future."
Sun Wufeng spoke.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty shook his head slightly and concentrated on handling government affairs. Li Zhao folded his hands on his chest, looking thoughtful.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiaofan went to say goodbye to Xiao Tiansheng, and packed up and left early the next morning.
The only people who came out to see him off were Xiao Tiansheng and Sun Wufeng. Lin Xiaofan only knew these two people in Chang'an City.
"Master, Brother Xiao, just send it here."
When he reached the city gate, Lin Xiaofan turned around and said to the two of them.
"You have learned the powerful sword technique, but you haven't mastered it yet. You must practice more after you return. In this era of war, it is definitely helpful to have a higher martial arts ability."
Sun Wufeng opened his mouth to give instructions, just like a junior sending a junior away. After this month of contact, he and Lin Xiaofan cherished each other and have become friends for many years.
We are parting this time, and I don’t know when we will meet again. Or maybe we will never see each other again in this life.
"Master, don't worry."
Lin Xiaofan nodded solemnly. Now that the situation in Daqian Country is unclear, he will definitely work hard to improve himself.
"Brother Lin, come and have a drink with me when you have time."
Xiao Tiansheng looked very relaxed and waved goodbye.
"must!"
Lin Xiaofan waved in response.
The carriage started on its way back and gradually went further away. Lin Xiaofan felt much more relaxed.
The trip ended successfully. Firstly, his personal strength had improved, and secondly, the Tang Dynasty did not pursue the death of the envoy. The two countries formed an alliance and borrowed weapons. In the future, there was no need to worry about the Tianlang Kingdom breaking the rules and directly attacking Daqian, which would be impossible for Daqian to resist.
Give him and Da Gan another ten years, and they will definitely not be weaker than the Sirius Kingdom.
At the same time, he also bought a lot of good things from the Tang Dynasty, such as cumin.
This is a good seasoning and is very precious in the Tang Dynasty. There is not enough of it in the country, so it is naturally difficult to bring it to foreign countries.
However, Lin Xiaofan still managed to get some thanks to Zhang Wufeng's relationship.
When the carriage returned to the capital of Tang Dynasty, it was already the spring of the second year.
The river has just thawed, there is still snow hidden in many dark corners, and some buds are growing on the ground. At the gate of Daqian Capital, Kang Hong personally came to greet Lin Xiaofan's return, and all the officials from the DPRK and the Central Government also arrived.
Lin Xiaofan's results this time shocked them severely.
The envoy of the Tang Dynasty died in Daqian. Those big countries are unreasonable. Moreover, the fault lies with Daqian. I thought Lin Xiaofan had a narrow escape this time. Even if he could make the Tang Dynasty turn the page on this matter, it would still cost a lot of money.
But who knew, Lin Xiaofan came back alive. Not only that, he didn't spend a penny, and he also successfully established an alliance between the two countries and opened up trade.
Forget it, Lin Xiaofan also borrowed 50,000 pieces of armor. What is this concept? Nowadays, the entire country can gather so much.
With these weapons and armor, we can quickly gather an army. At that time, dealing with small countries like Dashang and Daliang will be as easy as taking something out of a bag.
Even facing the Sirius Kingdom, he can survive for a while.
"Well, I'll hide for a while."
Fengsheng tied up her hair with a hairpin, then jumped off the carriage and disappeared in a flash.
