Xi Feng Yingshan smiled bitterly and said: "Our Dangxiang is indeed different from your Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasties. Although our Dangxiang Emperor is from the Mi Qin family, the army belongs to each royal family, and the number of troops they support is also different.
It's just that during wartime, they all accept the transfer from the imperial city."
"As for raising troops on weekdays, each royal family has to take care of itself. Isn't it like our Southern Dynasties where the Ministry of War allocates military pay from the treasury?" Lin Yi nodded and then asked.
Xi Feng Yingshan said: "That is indeed the case. Whoever raises more soldiers is also more powerful in the court, which also shows that this royal family is strong. Now, for example, the weakest among the royal family, the Pochao family, only has 70,000 troops.
But the Tuoba clan has an army of 400,000."
Lin Yidao: "In fact, your party is similar to the Shang and Zhou dynasties in history. Strictly speaking, you royal families are more like feudal princes and kings. They should also have their own fiefdoms and usually do their own thing. It's just different from those dynasties.
Yes, the emperors of those dynasties were themselves the largest family members, and the princes and kings who were entrusted to them were also their relatives."
"It is indeed similar. Strictly speaking, our party is like eight small countries with different surnames being kneaded together." Xi Feng Yingshan had already made his own plans in mind and talked with Lin Yi
But he really did tell everything he knew, "Just like before, we gathered nearly a million troops. Although they were all under the command of the commander appointed by the Mi Qin clan, the Mi Qin clan's own army was only 200,000.
The Tuoba clan and the Li clan have more armies than them. If there is a real war, the royal family's own armies will also be legions, and they will calculate their own losses against each other. The first thing that each royal family thinks about is to preserve as much as possible.
The strength of our own army will not be the same as your army in the Southern Dynasties."
"This is indeed the case for those dynasties in history. Whenever there is a war in the central dynasty, it will order all the vassal states to send troops. However, whether these vassal states will send troops only depends on their loyalty to the central dynasty. Most of the time, although each army is sent,
A plate of loose sand.”
Lin Yi smiled slightly, looked at Xi Feng Yingshan and said: "To be honest, I dared to spread the rumors before and wanted to infiltrate Dangxiang because I felt that your Dangxiang army was not as powerful as the Northern Wei Dynasty, and although I didn't know that your royal family had eight
There are tribes, but it has been heard that each legion of the party is fighting against each other."
"Actually, except for the Xiaba clan and the Tuoba clan, the rest of our clans have not had much contact with the outside world, whether it is the Southern Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty, or other countries further in the Western Regions." Although Xi Feng Yingshan looked cowardly on the battlefield, he talked about
These things clearly showed the innate shrewdness of the superior. He squinted his eyes and said: "We didn't have much contact with General Lin and you Southern Dynasty people before, but today I see that General Lin is acting like this."
So generous, so I also venture to ask, if General Lin wants to conquer Dangxiang this time, does he want to completely conquer Dangxiang for the Southern Dynasty and occupy Dangxiang as a state or county, or does he just want to solve the hidden danger of our Dangxiang's advance?"
"You said it directly, and of course I can't tell lies."
Lin Yifa laughed freely and said: "The great enemy of the Southern Dynasties has always been the Northern Wei Dynasty. Before the separation of life and death from the Northern Wei Dynasty, how could the Southern Dynasty have the strength to completely destroy Dangxiang? You see, although the emperor of our dynasty gave me a class 11
The general, but he only asked my Tiece Army to come to the edge of the town, and did not allocate a hundred thousand troops to me. How many people do I have in Tiece Military District? Even if you don’t use a single soldier, I can occupy as many cities as I want.
, I don’t even have enough people to occupy it.”
"interesting."
Xi Feng Yingshan couldn't help but laugh while stroking his beard. At this time, the solemnity in his heart disappeared, and he felt that not only what Lin Yi said was interesting, but this person was also very interesting.
"So General Lin, your ultimate goal is to ensure that the west is stable and that our party's troops will not take advantage of the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei armies to go deep into the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty to harass you. In other words, you only need to ensure that our party will not interfere with your Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasties.
The Great War of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the long run, even if the Southern Dynasty destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, I am afraid they will not have much interest in our party, just like our team's territory of Tuyuhun and the territories of those countries in the Western Regions will not have much interest."
Xi Feng Yingshan relaxed, and what he said became interesting, "Tuyuhun and other countries in the Western Regions are the same as our party, they have a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. There is no shortage of land. They are sparsely populated and cannot be occupied by others. Of course, Tuyuhun is also in the Western Regions."
There are also many good things, crystals, and beauties... But although we are interested in their crystals, gems, and beauties, just like we want to eat millet, we don’t want to occupy the farmland and grow the millet by ourselves.
To eat, they prepare it ready-made, and we can buy it, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
"interesting!"
Lin Yi laughed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xi Feng Yingshan and said, "I just like talking to smart people like you."
Xi Feng Yingshan immediately laughed, and even winked at Lin Yi and said: "So if I think about General Lin, if General Lin wants to join our party, it is best to win a few battles and spread the news to the Southern Dynasties.
, it would be best to make the people admire them again, and at the same time gain some substantial benefits from our party to help General Lin gain a foothold in the future. As for our party, since we can’t occupy it, and the climate and scenery will not be liked by the people of the Southern Dynasty,
Your Excellency must not have completely swallowed up the idea of ruling the country by yourself, and I heard that there is an old saying in the Southern Dynasties, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, the bird is gone and the bow is hidden. If the foreign enemies and foreign countries are all gone, then the general will not be able to show his power in the court.
The hands and feet don’t seem so important anymore.”
Lin Yi laughed again, one of us laughed, and I laughed, which made Bai Yuelu and others around him laugh out loud.
"It seems that Brother Xifeng Yingshan, you have something else you want to discuss with me in depth." Lin Yi smiled with his eyes shining, and he said with great meaning.
"That's natural."
When Xifeng Yingshan heard that Lin Yi called him brother, his face suddenly became more radiant. He looked directly at Lin Yi with undisguised greed in his eyes, "General Lin, although my Xifeng family
It is not the strongest among the royal family, but it is not too weak either. As for me, Xifeng Yingshan, as long as there is a strong support from the outside world, I should be able to have the decision-making power in the Xifeng clan. Anyway, General Lin
If you want to join my party, with your strength, in my opinion, you will be victorious in every battle, but it will be a little easier if you have my help."
"You were so straightforward just now. Brother Xifeng Yingshan, you are beating around the bush now. You don't have to do this in the future."
Lin Yi smiled like a flower, "So what you want, Xifeng Yingshan, is for me to help you become the leader of the Xifeng clan, and then join forces with the Xifeng clan to force the Tuoba clan and Xiaba clan to
At that time, Xi Feng took charge of the party, we all shared our interests, and the border was safe."
Xi Feng Yingshan laughed heartily. In the midst of the laughter, his eyes were solemn. He clenched his fists in his chest and said, "Just as General Lin said, how dare I be called brother by you? As long as we have such a big thing,
If it works, I won’t recognize any emperor of the Southern Dynasty in the future, I will only recognize you. As long as General Lin respects you, I will recognize you as my brother.”
