When Liu Mingzhi saw this, he let out a silent sigh and turned around to look at the huge map in front of him.
Then, with bright eyes, he raised the small bamboo pole in his hand and tapped it on the map and started to swim gently.
The generals looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was walking gently on the map with a small bamboo pole in his hand. After looking at each other for a few times, clearly visible excitement shone in the depths of their eyes.
color.
Just because they had vaguely heard some underlying meanings from the words Liu Mingzhi just said.
Although Liu Mingzhi's words just now did not clearly indicate that he wanted to continue marching westward, old foxes like Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Yeruha had roughly figured out something.
Liu Mingzhi's special words of explanation just now, coupled with the speculation between Wanyan Chizha and Song Qing some time ago.
When these two seemingly unrelated things are actually closely related, they come together.
Zhang Kuang, Yun Chong, Hu Yanyu and other generals were almost certain in their hearts that Liu Mingzhi was preparing to continue marching westward with troops.
However, they didn't know when Mr. Liu planned to continue using troops.
It might be the year and a half that Wanyan Chizha and Song Qing had guessed before, or it might be some time earlier than this.
Of course, it may be delayed for a while.
No one can really estimate when exactly it will happen.
In the end, it all depends on what His Majesty the Emperor Liu Mingzhi wants.
After the excitement in the eyes of a group of generals gradually returned to normal, they all began to make secret calculations in their hearts.
It is now almost certain that His Majesty the Emperor indeed has the intention to continue marching westward and use troops.
Continuing to march westward and use troops means that the war will continue.
Fighting means war success.
The day Liu Mingzhi arrived at the King's City of Dashi, he personally made a promise to himself and others on the wall of the King's City.
When he and others have made enough military exploits, he can allow himself and others to transfer their own military exploits to his children and grandchildren depending on the situation.
In this way, I and others have to carefully figure out how to get more credit for the children under my knees.
After a while, the study became quiet.
After a long time.
Liu Mingzhi took back the small bamboo pole that was sliding gently on the map, exhaled silently, and then picked up the tea on the table next to him.
After taking a big sip of herbal tea, he vigorously twisted his neck, which was slightly aching from raising his head for too long, a few times. He turned around gently and looked around at the many generals and generals in the study.
I saw a large group of people sitting in the study. Except for Liu Song, who was bored and sipping the tea in his hand, the rest of the group all rolled their eyes and looked thoughtful.
Seeing this, Liu Dashan nodded slightly and took another sip of the herbal tea in the cup, then coughed softly under his throat.
"Uh-huh, cough, cough, cough."
Young Master Liu's coughs instantly broke the silence in the study room.
Hearing Young Master Liu's cough, Liu Song immediately swallowed the herbal tea he had just sipped.
Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, and a large group of them also immediately stopped thinking in their hearts, and turned their heads one after another to look at Young Master Liu.
"call."
Liu Mingzhi let out a gentle breath, put the small bamboo pole back in his hand, and then walked straight to the main seat behind the desk with the teacup in his hand.
When he walked to the front of the chair and sat down on the chair behind him with a carefree movement, he looked at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye with a faint smile.
"Two uncles."
"Is the old minister here, Your Majesty?"
"Is the old minister here, Your Majesty?"
Young Master Liu put the tea cup in his hand on the table, gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand, twisted his waist slightly and crossed his legs casually.
"Two uncles, now, you two military marshals are in charge of all the government affairs in the two countries, Dashi Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom respectively.
Therefore, I have a question for you two, young master."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kuang and the two men immediately punched Young Master Liu in unison.
"Your Majesty, please ask me, old minister, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, his crossed legs swaying gently under the desk.
"Two uncles, I want to ask you, as far as the current situation is concerned, our Dalong Heavenly Dynasty's own troops and horses are not included.
Let’s just talk about the soldiers and horses under the original imperial courts of Tianzhu Kingdom and Dashi Kingdom. How many soldiers and horses can you two mobilize in these two countries?
Oh, yes, he is the kind of soldier who is trustworthy."
Upon hearing this question, Zhang Kuang and the two instinctively asked in unison.
"A soldier you can trust?"
"Soldiers worth trusting?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled indifferently, looked at Zhang Kuang and the two men and nodded gently.
"Well, that's right, soldiers and horses worthy of your trust."
arrogantly and Nangong Ye nodded slightly and turned to look at each other.
"Brother Nangong, do you speak first or should I speak first?"
"Brother Zhang, do you go first or me?"
After hearing the words from each other's mouth, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Anything is fine."
Zhang Kuang gently stroked the gray beard above his chin, smiled lightly and said loudly: "Okay, I'll tell you first."
"Hahaha, please!"
Zhang Kuang nodded slightly, turned around and looked at Mr. Liu and gave him another fist.
"Back to Your Majesty, based on the current situation, I can probably mobilize around 40,000 or around 50,000 trustworthy soldiers and horses of the Food Kingdom within the Kingdom of Food.
Of course, these numbers are only approximate numbers of troops.
In the end, I still need to send someone to check carefully as to how many trustworthy troops can be mobilized before I can give you an answer."
After hearing Zhang Kuang's answer about the number of troops, Mr. Liu couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Are the approximately 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Dashi Kingdom all trustworthy?
Uncle, are you sure?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I am very sure that the approximately 40,000 to 50,000 troops I mentioned are all the kind of troops that can be truly believed.
I dare to say that the number of troops I just mentioned was just in case, so I deliberately mentioned the smaller number!"
?????55.?????
When Young Master Liu heard what Zhang Kuang said later, he had a sigh on his face and nodded with a chuckle.
"The Dashi Kingdom's military strength is around 40,000 to 50,000, which is still at a low level.
Uncle, it seems that the prestige you have accumulated in Dashi Country over the years is quite good!"
As soon as Young Master Liu finished his last words, Arrogant's mind suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly shook his head and hugged Young Master Liu with a fist.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to be an old minister, I definitely don't dare to do it.
Your Majesty clearly knows that the fundamental reason why I have gained such a reputation among the officials and people of Dashi Kingdom is mainly because everything I did was carried out in accordance with your previous orders, Your Majesty.
Going down.
Therefore, the veteran said a frank statement.
Rather than saying that the reputation accumulated by the old minister is good, it is better to say that the decrees of our Dalong Celestial Dynasty and some of the orders authorized by your Majesty have a good reputation in the minds of the people of the Great Food Kingdom.
Now the situation in Dashi Country can be so peaceful and peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
In the final analysis, the most important reason is that your Majesty's orders and the decrees of our Dalong Celestial Empire are extremely in line with the people of the Great Food Country.
As the old saying goes, only those who comply with the will of the people can win the support of all people in the world.
As for me, an old minister, I am simply a pawn who helps His Majesty convey the decree and then implement it.
If it weren't for your Majesty's instructions, I would have relied on my little ability.
Your Majesty, even if you tire me to death, my dear, I will never be able to manage the people and officials of Dashi Country so well!"
Zhang Kuang looked at Mr. Liu with a slightly nervous look, and started talking directly and eloquently.
I don’t know whether Zhang Kuang did it intentionally or unintentionally. In every word of his answer, the word prestige that Mr. Liu mentioned before was quietly replaced by the word reputation.
After listening to Zhang Kuang's long speech, Liu Mingzhi gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan carved jade fan in his hand and changed his posture with a smile.
"Haha, hahahaha.
Uncle, I just complimented you casually, young master. How could you talk so eloquently and explain so comprehensively?
With your current posture, people who don't know what I did to you would think that I have done something to you!"
When Young Master Liu chuckled and said this, he raised his left hand and pointed at the large group of generals sitting in the study room and made random gestures in a circle.
"Uncle, Uncle Nangong, uncle, uncle, and all the brothers here were all watching just now!
Master, I just complimented you casually, but I didn’t say anything else!
My dear friends, you must bear witness to this young master!"
Song Qing, Nangong Ye, Yunchong, Hu Yanyu, Cheng Kai, and Jiang Lei all nodded eagerly when they saw Liu Dashao suddenly turning the topic to themselves and the others.
"Your Majesty is wise, and I will bear witness."
Nangong Ye winked at Zhang Kuang with a vague look, and immediately chuckled happily.
"Brother Zhang, Your Majesty is talking to the two of us about the two countries respecting your soldiers and horses!
Let’s talk about the business first, talk about the business first.”
As soon as Nangong Ye said these words, he directly redirected the topic that had been discussed before.
In fact, Nangong Ye understood Zhang Kuang's mood at the moment.
At the same time, he also understood very well why Zhang Kuang suddenly explained to Young Master Liu in a long way just now. At first glance, it seemed that there was no connection at all, but in fact, it contained all kinds of mysterious words.
After all, no one can guess the potential meaning of the word prestige Liu Mingzhi just mentioned.
Sometimes the word "prestige" is used to praise people, but sometimes it is not necessarily the case.
In a word, being with you is like being with a tiger!
Zhang Kuang took a deep breath silently, not paying attention to the reactions of his colleagues around him, and looked at Young Master Liu happily and chuckled a few times.
"Your Majesty, what I said just now is not explaining anything.
The words I just said to your Majesty, veteran, are completely my words from the bottom of my heart!
Your Majesty, just ask me to say this ten more times, and I will still mean what I just said.
Without your Majesty's instructions and orders, with my little ability, I would have exhausted myself to death, and I would not have been able to manage the people's livelihood of Dashi Country so well.
After all, helping your majesty govern the world is what the civil servants of our Dalong Heavenly Dynasty should do above the court.
Sir, I am just a vulgar warrior, I only know a little about how to use soldiers to fight.
Without your Majesty's instructions and instructions, how could I, a warrior like me, be able to do the things that only civil servants can do?
Your Majesty, you can't think that I have done anything wrong just because I just told some truths from the bottom of my heart, right?"
As soon as the words from Zhang Kuang's mouth fell, the eyes of the generals who were originally a little worried about him suddenly turned into surprise.
Damn, that’s awesome!
Zhang Shuai deserves to be Zhang Shuai, can this bring you back?
Oh my gosh, Brother Zhang is Brother Zhang, he is really not that thick-skinned!
How could you say such unintentional words without changing your expression?
Young Master Liu looked at the arrogant man with a smile on his face, glanced at the generals in the study calmly and casually, and with a smile, he closed the jade fan in his hand and placed it on the desk.
Then, he leaned forward and lifted the teapot on the corner of the table to refill himself with a cup of herbal tea.
"Uncle, the topic has gone too far!"
Hearing this, Zhang Kuang immediately pretended to be indifferent and bowed his hand to Young Master Liu with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, it's too far-fetched. It's indeed a bit far-fetched.
The old minister knew that he was wrong, and it was all his fault that he couldn't control his bad talk.
I hope Your Majesty will not blame you for delaying His Majesty’s main topic.”
Seeing the way Zhang Kuang kept admitting his mistakes, Young Master Liu raised his brows and chuckled, shaking his head.
Immediately, he picked up the tea cup, nodded and took a small sip of the herbal tea in the cup, then raised his head and cast his eyes directly on Nangong Ye.
"Uncle, Uncle Zhang Kuang has finished talking about the troop deployment situation, now it's up to you to talk about it.
You are responsible for managing the affairs in Tianzhu.
Uncle Zhang Kuang has finished talking, now it's your turn to tell me how many trustworthy soldiers and horses you can mobilize in Tianzhu Kingdom."
