Chapter 3685 Prestige
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.
