Chapter 1367 A letter from home is worth ten thousand gold
It's just that Su Letian knew that he couldn't tell everything in detail, because if he did, he might be beaten by Ning Changping.
Ning Changping asked him: "Why are you laughing?"
Su Letian replied: "I just received a letter from King Qin. He said that as soon as they returned to Qinzhou, the Linyuan people would attack."
Sending letters from Qinzhou to Zhao was very difficult because of the war.
Ning Guzhou wrote them a letter as soon as he arrived in Qinzhou. It has been several months before they received it.
Ning Changping's eyes widened, he slapped the table in front of him and said, "The Linyuan people deserve to be beaten, but they dare to attack Qinzhou!"
"When I get back, I'll tear them all down!"
While she was talking, she was rolling up her sleeves. Looking at the scene, she was looking for a fight to calm down her anger.
The table she had patted was now torn to pieces and scattered on the ground.
Su Letian hurriedly advised: "This place is thousands of miles away from Qinzhou. This letter should have been written by King Qin when he just returned to Qinzhou."
"With King Qin's ability, it is very likely that the battle will be over by now. When you return to Qinzhou, you may only be able to shout a few times and there will be no fight."
Ning Changping: "..."
This is really a sad thing!
Because they are so far apart, sending letters is an extremely troublesome matter.
In addition, the Zhao Kingdom is not at peace now, so it is extremely lucky for them to receive letters from Qinzhou now.
She took the letter from Su Letian's hand and read it. When she saw the date at the end of the letter, she fell completely silent.
Ning Changping sat back on the chair with some frustration. She knew her brother's ability, and when she returned, this fight would be completely hopeless.
But she was still a little worried, after all, Linyuan people had always been very good at fighting.
In the past, she was the fastest in the war and was the vanguard of Qinzhou.
She is not in Qinzhou now, who is leading the charge in this battle?
Su Letian smiled and said: "Although you can't keep up with the war in Qinzhou, you should be quite happy during this time, right?"
Ever since they became kings on this mountain, their life has been extraordinary.
Initially, the nearby county government came to suppress the bandits, but Ning Changping and his men beat the bandits directly.
After the county magistrate reported this matter, the state government sent people to suppress the bandits, and Ning Changping led his people to beat them to a pulp.
Because there were more fights, more and more people were provoked.
A few days ago, Zhao Yan's spies came over. Looking at the scene, it seemed that they were coming to beat them.
Because of this, Su Letian was a little worried.
Because this group of people, although they have been training hard during this period, in essence, they are still a mob.
After all, training to develop powerful soldiers and horses does not happen overnight.
Furthermore, their foundation is too weak. They really started with nothing, and their current scale is all due to robbing.
But what they can grab is limited after all, and if they want to take a long-term approach, they must have people who can earn food and support for them.
Su Letian, Ning Changping and Yun Ning have obvious advantages and equally obvious shortcomings.
Ning Changping only knew how to fight, but Yun Ning could not only teach others how to fight, but could also teach others to fight, manage the army, and earn food and grass. Neither of these two were good at it.
Among the three, Su Letian has the ability to manage people and earn money, but he cannot do so many things by himself.
During this period, he selected talents from the people who had taken refuge with them and established a complete management mechanism.
It's just that this kind of thing is too laborious to do. Most of these people are used to being lazy and don't obey management very much.
In order to improve military discipline during this period, Su Letian killed many people who disobeyed management.
Over the past few months, the army gradually took shape, but it immediately had to face the problem of shortage of food and grass.
After all, the money you robbed is limited, and what you can do is also limited.
When Su Letian was in charge of the household department in the First City, he was quite handy, but when he was managing this mess, he was far more tiring than that time.
It's just that no matter how tired his heart is, he has to take a long-term view of this matter.
If he quits at this time, the lives of the people who come to seek refuge with them will be very difficult.
Su Letian is a responsible person and will not give up halfway at this time.
And to gain a foothold in the long term, he must find his own way.
A soldier came in and delivered a letter. Su Letian's expression changed drastically after reading it.
Ning Changping saw a worried look on his face and asked him, "What happened?"
Su Letian replied: "The troops Zhao Yan sent to kill us this time are personally led by the Generalissimo of Zhao State."
Ning Changping was also a little surprised: "Sending the generalissimo to encircle and suppress us? Is it so grand?"
Su Letian smiled bitterly and said: "Changping, this is not grand, this is fatal!"
"I heard that this generalissimo is very strict in managing the army and he is also very powerful in fighting."
"Zhao Yan wants to defeat us first in order to join forces and fight Zhao Ye."
He could understand the general's thoughts. The war between Zhao Yan and Zhao Ye needed to go all out and not allow problems in the rear.
When they were serving as kings of mountains in the Kingdom of Zhao, it was Ning Changping who suggested it. Su Letian, who had always doted on her, agreed and didn't think much about it at the time.
In the past few months, when he calmed down, he realized that building the cottage here was definitely not a wise choice.
Because there is not much space for development here, and it is too close to Zhao Yan’s base camp, it is easy to attract Zhao Yan’s attention.
Moreover, the mountains in this area are not high, and the forests are not dense. When Zhao Yan's army really starts to fight, their few soldiers and horses are really not enough to fight.
After all, the number of their troops is claimed to be 100,000, but including the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only about 20,000 who can actually fight.
Ning Changping's eyes were bright: "If they want to fight over, it would be best if Changping cripples him!"
Su Letian hurriedly said: "Changping, the general of Zhao State is definitely not the soldiers and horses of the county and government offices we fought before."
"They are the true warriors of the Zhao Kingdom. They have fought many battles with Dayan and are soldiers who have been trained for hundreds of years!"
"In this current situation, their numbers and individual combat effectiveness are far superior to ours!"
Ning Changping smiled and said: "What's there to be afraid of? When Changping was in Qinzhou, Linyuan's combat effectiveness was higher than ours. Weren't they beaten to a pulp by us?"
Su Letian said to her: "These two things are really different."
"First of all, when it comes to marching and formation, I am not good at it. My ability in this area is far inferior to that of King Qin."
"Secondly, Qinzhou and Linyuan are old enemies. Qinzhou's soldiers hate Linyuan to the core. When they meet on a narrow road, they will do everything they can."
"And this is the State of Zhao. The soldiers and horses in our hands are all from the State of Zhao. Although they hate the dignitaries of the State of Zhao, they do not have such big enemies as Qinzhou and Linyuan."
