Chapter 112: The Huge Military Power of the Ying Country
When the King of Qi saw Lu Jing, he said with a smile: "It's really you, it's been so long! I sent someone to inquire and say that you have been executed by Tiangang of Lu for treason. Who knew that I just returned to the palace today and actually saw your wooden sign. I was worried that someone would lie to me, so I sent the guards who had seen you to Tantan."
Lu Jing hurriedly briefly explained his experience after returning to Lu, but did not say that he seemed to be resurrected, but only said that he was knocked out at that time.
King Qi said in confusion: "Since they are going to execute you, why didn't they beat you to death? Well~~ No matter how many you are, you'll be fine when you come. To be honest, I really can't think of what to do for you. You can stay by my side as a counselor for the time being, use all your talents and give me advice. However, compared to your speech, things here are much more difficult."
Lu Jing said excitedly: "It's so good! Xie Guojun. Well... In addition, I have another one, this, a very good housekeeper. Her talent is no less than mine, and I also want to share the worries of the king together."
"Oh?" King Qi said with great interest: "That's good! For talented people, I will only complain about fewer people, not more. I will bring him along tomorrow!"
As King Qi said, he sat on the middle seat and said, "We are discussing what strategy should be adopted at present. This should be something that Mr. Lu is good at. General Wang Jun, please briefly explain the current situation and let Mr. Lu understand it first."
"Okay." A senior general in his early forties agreed. He picked up a three-foot-long red stick on the table and walked to the big map beside the wall.
Lu Jing saw that the map was about ten feet wide and about eight feet high, not only included the entire Zhongzhou continent, but also included the sea in the east, the Japanese islands, the large forests in the south, the mountains in the west, the Gobi and the deserts in the west, and the grasslands and ice fields in the north. Moreover, all the places are marked in very detailed detail, which shows that it took a lot of manpower and material resources to draw this map.
Wang Jun pointed to the map with a thin red stick and said, "Since the Talents' expedition two years ago, the progress has not been smooth due to the terrain, climate, and tenacious resistance of the western races. Although the Talents' army has won several victories in the past two years, forcing the western races to retreat more than two thousand miles, it has never been able to wipe out its main force on a large scale. Therefore, overall, the Talents' army is still in a stalemate with the Western races. Four of the seven A-class corps of the Talents' army, and six of the nine B-class corps were transferred to the western front line. There are only two A-class corps and one B-class corps confronting the Chu army in the south, so they are currently unable to launch a large-scale offensive against the Chu army.
There is a Class A legion and a Class B legion stationed in the country of Tana, including the most elite Tana's personal guard "First Legion" with a total of 80,000 people, while the number of other Class A and Class B legion is about 50,000."
"The only ones that pose a direct threat to our Qi State are the 16th Army of the Tama Army stationed in the northern part of our country, the former Yan State, with a force of 50,000. This is a Class B Legion, and its combat power is considered to be the worst among all the regular legions of the Tama Army, which is only stronger than the local security forces, and is not equipped with advanced combat monsters. But even if only this 16th Army heads south to attack Qi, it is difficult for us to resist all the more than 200,000 Qi troops at present."
When Wang Jun said this, he looked at King Qi with a little uneasy. King Qi had a grim expression and nodded. It was obvious that he agreed with Wang Jun's statement that "the tattoo army is far stronger than the Qi army."
Wang Jun put the red stick on the table and continued, "So I think: our best strategy at the moment is to keep a low profile and try not to let the tattoo country know that we are improving our military strength, and not to have conflicts with the tattoo country."
A fat middle-aged man dressed in a senior civil servant said, "General Wang Jun said that he was keeping his strength and keeping a low profile. We dare not provoke a dispute with the Taming Kingdom, but if we don't let the Taming Kingdom know that we are working hard to improve our military strength, how can this be done? And now Lu is already wary of us and does not allow military supplies to be transported to our country. I believe the Taming Kingdom has already noticed it."
Wang Jun frowned and said, "Feng Xiangguo is right. This is indeed difficult, but no matter what, we must minimize the wariness of the tattoo country towards us."
When Lu Jing heard the word "Superior Kingdom", his heart suddenly jumped. He looked at the "Superior Kingdom Feng" and thought to himself: This person's voice is very different from Tian Gang, so he shouldn't be the same type of person as Tian Gang, right?
Lu Jing thought about it and always felt that the current situation was very scary, so he couldn't help but say, "If the Talent Army came now, how can we deal with it?" Everyone noticed that Lu Jing was talking about "we", and obviously he had already regarded himself as a Qi country.
Wang Jun said: "If it was only the 16th Army of the Tattoo Army to attack, the only feasible way for us is to defend with the mountains and the strong city. If there were more and stronger Tattoo Army to attack, we might have to negotiate peace."
Lu Jing frowned. King Qi, Feng Xiangguo and others were silent.
Lu Jing broke his silence again and said, "If you want to improve the combat power of the Qi army to the level equivalent to that of the Talent Army B and other legions, how long will it take?"
Wang Jun said: "If an officer with great combat experience is an instructor, it will take at least two years for the recruits to train basic combat skills alone, which does not include practical experience. Moreover, the Qi army lacks military monsters, and taming monsters also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and several years."
The few people discussed for half an hour, but did not come up with a good idea. King Qi said, "You guys retreat first, Lu Jing stay for a while."
Feng Prime Minister, Wang Jun and other civil and military ministers all stood up to say goodbye, and Lu Jing stood up to give a gift.
King Qi signaled Lu Jing to sit down and asked, "I remember you said before that you have strong reconnaissance skills and can also use internal strength to kill more than 20 high-level monsters in a row. What's the reality? Come and get me the real trick!"
Lu Jing replied: "My reconnaissance skills are indeed super strong. If you are on the flat ground, you can detect human bodies, horses, monsters, metals, etc. within the range of **. If you are in a high altitude, I can explore the range of 300 miles."
"It's so amazing?" King Qi asked in shock: "Can you try it now?"
Lu Jing said awkwardly: "This... I need to bring it with me... After I was injured, my body has not fully recovered, so I cannot use that reconnaissance ability today."
"Oh? There is such a thing?" King Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then can you kill dozens of high-level monsters with blue light internal strength. Can I see it?"
Lu Jing blushed and said, "Since I was seriously injured, my blue light internal strength has been lost. When I was besieged in Tiangang Mansion, I used blue light internal strength to kill a third-class military officer in the Taming Army and injured one. But this is the last time I have used blue light internal strength."
King Qi frowned and tapped his fingers at Lu Jing's head. Lu Jing did not dare to dodge, and was hit on the top of his head with a "deaf" sound.
Lu Jing returned to the museum and told Sylvia what he saw and heard today. The beautiful blonde girl was both happy and worried. The next morning, a palace official came to the museum to dictate: Lu Jing was named "third-class senator" and had a fief of two hectares. So they immediately moved out of the museum and lived in the "senatorial palace" assigned by rank.
