C1950 Final volume

1Wind Camp, Central Army Tent. Tang Yin met with the Li Shu who came from afar. Aside from the two of them, Qiu Zhen and the commanders of the Feng Army were present as well. A few of his generals and aides followed along with Li Shu.

After a simple exchange of words, both sides sat down. Tang Yin was in the middle, Qiu Zhen and the rest were seated on his right hand side, while the People of Zhen Country, led by Li Shu, was seated on his left hand side.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "I heard that not long ago, General Li led an army and ambushed a Chuan Army camp at the border of Huan Zhen. They won all of them and annihilated fifty thousand of their Chuan Army."

This was the biggest battle that Li Shu had ever fought, and also the battle that he was most proud of. Hearing Tang Yin mention this, his face naturally revealed a pleased look, but on the surface, he still pretended to be humble and said: "So it turns out that Feng King had also heard of this battle, it's just a fluke, it's not worth mentioning at all."

Tang Yin laughed, and said: "With Chuan Country that can annihilate fifty thousand people, luck alone is far from enough!" A group of rebel soldiers who had temporarily assembled themselves could wipe out the fifty thousand Chuan Army from a medium-sized camp even though they lacked both materials and equipment. This was probably something that only People of Zhen Country could do. This battle had also caused Tang Yin to feel fear towards the People of Zhen Country again. Of course, this fear would not appear on his face, but existed in the depths of his heart.

Li Shu laughed out loud, cupped his hands and said: "Feng King is too serious."

"This king has also heard that the General Li wants to rebuild his Zhen Country?" Tang Yin asked casually.

Li Shu was just about to tell him the truth, but before he could say anything, a middle-aged man sitting on his left spoke out first: "The Zhen Country of restoration is just a slogan my family's general used temporarily, the goal is to attract more People of Zhen Country warriors to come and fight against the People of Chuan Country together."

The middle-aged man who spoke was Li Cong, one of the most important advisors under Li Shu's command.

He understood in his heart that he mustn't bring up the matter of restoring Zhen Country in front of Tang Yin. Back then, when Zhen Country was annihilated, Feng Country was one of the main culprits.

Li Shu was clever, and understood immediately. After hearing Li Cong's words, she immediately understood her intentions, and cupped her hands towards Tang Yin, replying seriously: "What Mister Li said is correct, Feng King, right now I only want to lead the People of Zhen Country to chase away the People of Chuan Country, as for restoring the country, I have never considered it before."

Tang Yin laughed, slightly nodded, and said slowly: "The country is destroyed, the people are displaced, and are subject to the oppression of outsiders.

Li Shu's expression became serious, and without thinking, he replied seriously: "Feng King, I have no intention of restoring my country."

Sigh! Li Cong sighed on the side. Even though the lord and Feng King were similar in age, but in terms of scheming, the lord was far inferior.

The words of the Feng King was obviously still a test, but when any People of Zhen Country heard this, they would feel a sense of sadness, either sighing or not answering. However, the Lord did not even think, and immediately expressed that she did not have the heart to return to her country, acting as if this was too fake.

Sure enough, after Li Shu finished speaking, Tang Yin sneered in his heart. However, there was no change in his expression, there was still a smile on his face, and he casually asked: "What are General Li's plans in the future?"

Li Shu muttered to himself for a moment, then sternly said: "I won't hide the truth from Your Highness, but I plan to expand to the west, using my Western Zhen as my foundation to resist the People of Chuan Country."

Tang Yin rubbed his chin, and said slowly: "If this duke does not remember wrongly, there are heavy soldiers stationed at the Western Zhen."

In the past, when Zhen Country existed, they had also stationed heavy soldiers at the Western Zhen to guard the borders. Now that Chuan Country had fully taken over the Zhen Country, the armies stationed in the Western Territory had all turned into Chuan Army as well.

Li Shu smiled bitterly, and praised: "Feng King is indeed well-informed about the matters of the world. Western Zhen do indeed have the main Central Army stationed there, and among them, there are sixteen legions of Chuan Country located in the Pinggu County, and seventeen legions of Bainan County stationed there. There are nine and eleven legions of Chuan Country stationed there the most, and the total force of Chuan Country stationed in these three counties is more than four hundred thousand people. "

Tang Yin nodded his head, then asked: "Then how many soldiers and horses do General Li have now?"

"Oh ?" "Not enough, not even two hundred thousand."

"With an army of less than two hundred thousand, to fight for four hundred thousand Chuan Country, does General Li think that he has any chance of winning?" Tang Yin could not help but ask curiously.

Li Shu's face was filled with helplessness as he said: "If we cannot stabilize our Western Zhen, then we will only be able to survive in the midst of the forces of the People of Chuan Country, and will forever face situations where we face enemies behind our backs. If we want to grow stronger, if we want to fight against the People of Chuan Country, calming down our Western Zhen is the most important step. Of course, with our current strength, we are still unable to contend against the Chuan Army stationed there. That's why I came to Shang Jing today and met with the Feng King to discuss the alliance between the two parties. As long as we can get help from Feng Country, as long as we have enough armaments and rations, I can guarantee that in less than half a year, our forces will be able to rival Western Zhen's! "

After pausing for a moment, he continued in a profound tone, "After stabilizing my Western Zhen, I can conveniently use my Western Zhen as the foundation, expand towards the east, and completely expel my People of Chuan Country from my Zhen Country. As long as Feng King is willing to help me, after we chase away my People of Chuan Country, I will give the Dragon Lake County as a reward and bestow the Feng Country upon you. "

Tang Yin blinked his eyes, with a smile on his face, he remained silent. Seeing that Tang Yin did not say anything, he thought that he did not owe him much, so he immediately said: "If Feng King is not satisfied, I can also give Jin Ji County to you ?"

Without waiting for him to finish, Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Those are all matters of the future, it's fine if we don't talk about it now. Let General Li tell me first, how much armaments and food rations do you want my Feng Country to assist you with?"

"This ?" Li Shu subconsciously looked at the subordinates beside him, then pondered for a moment and said: "We ? "Right now, we need at least one legion's armaments, military assets, two hundred thousand silver military salary and a million stone worth of fodder."

A single legion's armaments and military assets were equivalent to hundreds of thousands of sets of armor, weapons (a hundred thousand sets was a normal requirement, it also required several tens of thousands of sets of equipment to replace them), as well as hundreds of Trebuchet s and other large equipment. A million stones worth of grain and fodder was equivalent to one million taels of silver. Adding up the two hundred thousand taels of soldiers' salaries, the total amount would be at least five million taels of silver.

From Li Shu's own perspective, he was already asking for it, and had even made preparations to have Tang Yin "bargain" him for it.

Five million silver was an astronomical amount in Li Shu's eyes, but in the current vast Feng Country, it was nothing. Even if he were to build a few official mansions in Shang Jing, the cost would be far greater than this amount.3

Tang Yin supported his chin, still deep in thought.

Seeing that, Li Shu subconsciously looked towards his subordinates. At this time, many of the generals and aides also looked at him, hinting that he wanted too much and shouldn't have asked Feng King for so many things the first time they met.

Li Shu took a deep breath and said softly, "Feng King ?"

Tang Yin raised his hand and interrupted his speech. What he was thinking now was not how much Li Shu needed, but whether Li Shu's request was worth his help, or whether he should help him.

If Li Shu was said to be a mud that could not be helped up on the wall, then it would be useless no matter how much assistance he had given him, it would be a waste of resources from the Feng Country. However, if Li Shu was truly a talented person, and truly had great talent, then his assistance to him might turn into nurturing tigers, which might bring about harm to them in the end.

Tang Yin couldn't make a decision, he turned and looked at Qiu Zhen, asking him for his meaning.

Qiu Zhen smiled slightly, looked at Li Shu, and said: "I heard that the General Li has many talented people, and many capable generals are like the clouds, I wonder if we can broaden our horizons today, and see the strange people under the General Li's command?"

Li Shu did not dare to have the slightest bit of negligence towards Qiu Zhen, and he bowed as he said: "Prime Minister Qiu is too serious, how could any of my subordinates have any strange people, and how could they compare to the powerful generals of Feng Country?"

"Ha ha!" Qiu Zhen smiled, and said: "The moment General Li opened his mouth, he wanted me to provide assistance to you with military resources, equipment and food for an entire legion. If we do not even have any strange and unusual people under his command, I think that my Feng Country is not necessary to help you anymore."

"This ?" Li Shu's body trembled, his face also changed. At the same time, a man dressed in the uniform of a guard standing behind him stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to make a fool of myself!"

This man was tall and sturdy, his arms were as thick as a child's thighs, and his face was full of muscles. When he walked, he was trembling, and with his swarthy skin, he looked like a half iron tower.

Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the rest of the General of Feng Country looked at this man from head to toe. Qiu Zhen looked at Li Shu and asked: "General Li, this is ?"

Li Shu immediately cupped his hands and introduced him. "This is my guard, my name is Lei Meng." As he spoke, he turned around and reminded them in a low voice, "Hurry up and pay respects to the Feng King and the Prime Minister Qiu!"

The big sized man called Lei Meng walked out from behind Li Shu and came to the center of the tent and cupped his hands in a salute towards Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen, saying in a low voice: "I am Lei Meng, greetings Feng King, Prime Minister Qiu!"

Tang Yin looked at him with a smile and asked: "Lei Meng, what abilities do you have?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this one has great strength!"

"Oh? In the army, there are countless strong people, but what makes you different? " Tang Yin laughed and asked.

His words really stunned Lei Meng. Even if he was stronger, he would not be able to tell what was different about him. He held it in for a long time before he stammered, "This little one's strength is especially great!"

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin was amused by him and laughed. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let this king see just how strong you are!"

"Yes sir!" Lei Meng interposed and bowed, then looked around, as though he was looking for something to test his strength, and after looking around, he could not find anything suitable, and when his gaze landed on the outside of the tent, his eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he walked out.
