When Duan Dingbang heard Young Master Liu's question, he frowned and thought for a moment, then bowed his hands to Young Master Liu respectfully.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the situation of the soldiers and horses in Persia is completely different from that of the soldiers and horses of our Dragon Kingdom.
Compared with our Dalong Celestial Dynasty, which is composed entirely of soldiers who are good at conquering and fighting, the composition of their soldiers and horses is more complicated."
Hearing what Duan Dingbang said, Young Master Liu's eyes suddenly showed a hint of curiosity.
"Oh? The composition of the soldiers and horses is more complicated?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
"Dingbang, tell me quickly and let me hear it.
Duan Dingbang first smiled and nodded, then picked up his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry."
Liu Dashu saw this and waved his hand indifferently.
"Whatever you want, just do whatever you want."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After drinking a glass of wine, Duan Dingbang took a breath of wine silently, then picked up the wine bottle and refilled himself with a glass of wine.
"call."
"Your Majesty, there are two situations regarding the military strength of Persia. I will first tell you about the situation of the rebels in Persia.
The hundreds of thousands of rebels in Persia were a large army organized by the main soldiers, refugees, refugees, and some slaves.
Among them, the main force with good equipment is about 50,000 people, and the refugees and refugees combined are about 60,000 to 70,000 people.
As for the remaining tens of thousands of troops, they are slaves with no status at all.
Therefore, although the rebels in Persia have about 150,000 or 60,000 troops, the only troops that can really fight are the main troops of more than 50,000 people.
As for the rest, there were hundreds of thousands of troops composed of refugees, refugees, and slaves.
I'm not going to say anything nice, their existence is nothing more than cannon fodder.
Cannon fodder used to consume the physical strength of the opponent's soldiers, arrows and other things."
When Duan Dingbang said this in a calm tone, he picked up the wine glass on the table with a faint smile, raised his head slightly and drank the wine in one breath.
"Your Majesty, I am not belittling myself.
To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Persian rebel soldiers is still very good.
One means one, and two means two.
If the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops in Persia are all composed of main soldiers, then the number of casualties of our Dalong soldiers will definitely be more than the current number of casualties."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and rolled his eyes a few times. After thinking thoughtfully for a moment, he looked at Duan Dingbang and nodded with a slight smile.
"It turns out that this is the case. In other words, the rebels with an army of about 150,000 people actually only have 50,000 or 60,000 main soldiers."
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
"I understand, young master. Dingbang, please continue."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I have just finished talking about the situation of the rebels in Persia.
Now, I would like to tell you about the general situation of the Persian court's troops.
The soldiers and horses of the Persian court can be divided into two types, one is the main soldiers who are relatively well-equipped, and the other is the slave soldiers who only hold simple weapons.
Adding these two types of troops together, the Persian court had about 170,000 troops.
Among them, the main force consists of about 110,000 to 20,000 soldiers, and the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers are composed of slave soldiers."
As the words in Duan Dingbang's mouth fell, Young Master Liu frowned slightly with a strange expression, and quickly raised his hand to wave to Duan Dingbang.
"Dingbang, don't rush to say it yet, wait a minute, wait a minute."
Duan Dingbang heard the sound and hurriedly swallowed the words that were almost on his lips. He looked at Young Master Liu with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"His Majesty?"
Young Master Liu looked at Duan Dingbang's confused eyes and picked up a few almonds from the plate with a strange expression.
"Dingbang, if I heard you correctly, young master, what you just said is that the Persian court has about 170,000 troops?"
Listening to Young Master Liu asking him questions, Duan Dingbang nodded subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what I said."
After eating an almond with a slightly raised brow, Young Master Liu gently turned his neck twice and changed his sitting posture with a strange look in his eyes.
"There are about 170,000 troops and horses, the main soldiers are about 110,000 and 20,000 soldiers, and the rest are slave soldiers?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
After Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression, which was already a little weird, became even weirder at this moment.
"The Persian court has about 170,000 troops, while the Persian rebels only have about 150,000 troops.
The main strength of the imperial court is about 110,000 to 20,000, while the rebels only have about 50,000 to 60,000 main troops.
Whether it is the overall military strength or the main combat strength, the Persian imperial court's military strength is slightly superior to that of the rebels.
No, no.
If we only look at the main strength of the troops, how can this be slightly better? This is obviously a big win!"
When Young Master Liu said this aloud with a strange expression, his eyes were full of suspicion and he turned his head to focus on Zhang Kuang.
"Comparing the two with each other, no matter from which aspect, the Persian court has an absolute advantage!
Under this absolute advantage, the king of Persia actually needed to ask our Dalong soldiers to help him put down the rebellion in the country.
Arthas Kedelin, King of Persia, King Arthas XI.
He has a calm personality and a lot of trouble in his heart?
Uncle, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the information you have investigated?"
Zhang Kuang looked at Mr. Liu's eyes full of suspicion, pursed his lips slightly, and glanced at Duan Dingbang, who was sitting diagonally opposite him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, this...this..."
"Old minister...Old minister..."
After Zhang Kuang stammered twice, he had a tangled look on his old face and couldn't explain why.
If one goes by the intelligence secretly investigated by his scouts and spies, the Persian King Alsacekaid is indeed a promising king with a lot of troubles in his heart.
But judging from the situation that Young Master Liu has just analyzed, it seems that King Alsace of Persia and the promising king have little to do with each other.
After all, under the premise of having an absolute advantage, he still needs to ask for help from others to help him put down the rebellion.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, it doesn't seem like something a promising man should do.
To put it bluntly, what is the difference between using other people's troops to help you quell domestic chaos and luring a wolf into your house? ()
