After breakfast, Li Xin was invited to the flower hall. Li Xin knew in his heart that the formal conversation was about to begin.
In fact, before coming, I heard that this Wanhu Hou was not easy to deal with. He was treated with courtesy all of a sudden, but he did not make Li Xin confused. Whether he could handle what King Annan had assigned was very important to him.[]
After sitting in the flower hall for a while, Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong arrived. Liu Chengfeng sat in the main seat without any hesitation, while Li Dongdong sat on the left side of Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng looked good in spirit, with a smile on his face and a leisurely and contented look.
Li Dongdong, who was sitting next to Liu Chengfeng, made Li Xin a little unable to see through. This man was about thirty years old and had a very good skin, but his eyes were very deep, and his every move was elegant. But this gentlemanly person had a kind of inner temperament that made Li Xin dare not underestimate him.
Li Xin coughed and started talking, and he couldn't help but greet him. This thank you naturally went to Liu Chengfeng's hospitality. Liu Chengfeng also greeted him for a few words. Only Li Dongdong sat aside without saying a word, with a faint smile on his face. He would not interfere with the conversation between Liu Chengfeng and Li Xin. Today he was more in the posture of a bystander.
Li Xin said: "This time I came here on the order of the king. As soon as I came, I celebrated the vassal of Wanhuhou. Lianzhou and Annan were adjacent to it, and it was a friendly country. I just don't know if the marquis had settled and if there was any place to help?"
Li Xin narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, and continued slowly: "It is said that there are many locals in Lianzhou and have always been dissatisfied with Wang Hua. The marquis must be careful. My Dayue country has 300,000 soldiers and 500,000 armored men. If the marquis is in trouble, the Dayue country will naturally have no choice but to share the worries and solve the problems of the marquis at any time."
Li Xin's tone seemed to be showing kindness to Liu Chengfeng, but the threat was also full of force. There were 300,000 soldiers and 500,000 armored soldiers, and most of them were only more than 100,000. God knows how many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people are here.
Liu Chengfeng has also begun to pay attention to collecting information from the Annan people in the past few days under the influence of Li Dongdong. The biggest war launched by the Annan people was only claiming to be 180,000. As for how much water there was in these 180,000 people and how many militias were responsible for logistics affairs, except Annan himself, only God knows.
Liu Chengfeng predicted that the entire Great Vietnamese military power would not exceed 100,000 at most, and the distribution of these 100,000 people was wide. After all, the main defense direction of the Annan people was the Nanzhang Kingdom to the west. The Nanzhang Kingdom was actually Laos in later generations. Both sides stationed troops on the border, and the Annan people placed in the north would not exceed 20,000 at most. Li Xin's tone was very big, and he could only keep talking hundreds of thousands. Most of the Ming Dynasty might not have the same tone.
Liu Chengfeng just laughed, but didn't respond, looking like he was unquestionable.
Li Xin felt a little unhappy when he saw Liu Chengfeng's attitude. It seemed that this guy was not scared. Since that was the case, he had to give him a warning.
Li Xin stroked the coffee table beside his elbow and then said lightly: "This time, my country of Great Yue trained troops on Mangjie, dispatched 100,000 troops and horses to line up to perform martial arts in the northern suburbs of Mangjie. I wonder if the Marquis is interested in watching?"
When he said this, Li Xin had a little smug look on his face, and he couldn't help but stroke his short beard and shook his head. Since Liu Chengfeng is not afraid of threats, let me show you some beauty. In fact, the king discussed with him was this martial arts show. It's not that the Dayue Kingdom really had the courage to invade Lianzhou. He just wanted to let Liu Chengfeng see the military power of the Dayue Kingdom through this martial arts show, and scare him first. As for other things, we can talk about it slowly.
One hundred thousand Yue troops performed martial arts in Mangjie.
Mangjie is located on the southeast side of Lianzhou. It is considered a border town for the Yue people. The north is Lianzhou Prefecture and the east is Wenshan County. This is an open flat land. The Yue people set up military camps here, which is suitable for martial arts Yang Wei.
However, Liu Chengfeng didn't agree with it. What a 100,000 army, only God knows how much water there is. If there is a ten thousand people coming, it will be considered as the sky.
However, the attitude that Yue people want to show is very obvious. There are local barbarians in Lianzhou who are in chaos. If they are not honest and obedient, the Yue people can incite local barbarians at any time. If you are obedient, we will naturally help.
The threat is obvious.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but frown. He hated others threatening him the most!
However, Li Dongdong's face seemed extremely relaxed, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
Li Xin knew that the time was almost done, and he had to let the Wanhu Hou digest the information he had learned. He was not in a hurry to ask for benefits now, so he smiled and turned the topic to other places, said some of the customs and customs of Yue people, and said something that King Yue told Liu Chengfeng that King of Yue had told him, and then stood up to say goodbye.
When he sent Li Xin out, Liu Chengfeng's eyes turned into killing chickens. He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Dongdong and said, "Why is Mr. Li laughing?"
Li Dongdong smiled brightly, looking calm and said, "Students are so arrogant that they look down on others."
Liu Chengfeng also smiled. When he smiled, he had a new charm. He immediately said, "Mr. Li is thinking that Yue people have saved us a lot of trouble?"
Li Dongdong thought that Liu Chengfeng could not see another meaning in Li Xin's words, so he was stunned and said, "Why, the Marquis can see it too?"
Liu Chengfeng's face turned cold and said, "Of course I can see that Yue people are very good at playing martial arts, which can save us a lot of trouble. Since they want to play martial arts, then Liu will accompany them to play martial arts!"
Li Dongdong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that time will be too late. Even if I report to the court, the Yue people are afraid that they have already..."
Liu Chengfeng interrupted him and said, "There is no need to inform the court. Have you ever heard that Mr. Li will not accept the orders of the king outside?"
This time it was Li Dongdong's turn to be stunned. It is nothing wrong to say that the king is not accepting anything. But you are just a marquis of ten thousand households, not a general who marches and fights. Where will you start outside?
Liu Chengfeng then said, "Come here, call Wang Tao and Wang Sijie. I have something to do to give me instructions." After that, he said to Li Dongdong: "You must not miss the opportunity, and you will not come again. Mr. Li dares to take risks with Mr. Liu?"
Li Dongdong looked at Liu Chengfeng with a meaningful look, and then said, "Mr. Dare, how can the students not dare?"
Perhaps because he was infected by Liu Chengfeng's confidence, or because he was eager to make achievements and show himself, Li Dongdong blurted out this sentence by a tragic act. But in his heart, he knew that Liu Chengfeng was going to move troops, but he was just a marquis, why did he mobilize his army?
Wang Tao quickly stepped in at this time, looked at Liu Chengfeng, then looked at Li Dongdong, and nodded at Li Dongdong. Wang Tao was a little isolated beside Liu Chengfeng. It was not that others rejected him, but there were not many scholars among Liu Chengfeng's entourage, and even if he wanted to find someone to talk, he would find a soulmate. However, since Li Dongdong came, Li Dongdong's background and knowledge were not comparable to Wang Tao, so Wang Tao was very convinced by Li Dongdong and often asked Li Dongdong for advice.
If it were someone else, Wang Tao might have become a little jealous. After all, he and Liu Chengfeng have been together for a longer time. Why can a newcomer be greatly respected by Liu Chengfeng at once? But Li Dongdong is not someone else, and the two have a very different status, so Wang Tao did not have any other thoughts.
Liu Chengfeng directly ordered Wang Tao: "Se-Li Wang, go and invite all the civil and military officials from all over Lianzhou immediately, and don't leave any of them. Tell them that if you have something to do, give them two hours. If you don't have a delay, the military law will be dealt with!" Military law... Wang Tao was stunned for a moment. This is not a military, so what is the military law going to deal with?
However, since Liu Chengfeng gave the order, Wang Tao didn't say anything, and gave a tribute and hurried to do the business.
Liu Chengfeng ordered Li Dongdong again: "Mr. Li must work hard and immediately compile a few letters, one for Guangxi Governor Chen Jian. He informed him and said that the people of Annan repeatedly violated the border. This marquis is willing to attack him and ask him to prepare. The other letter is for the Nanzhan Kingdom, which means that the Ming Dynasty sent out 500,000 troops to destroy Annan and ordered them to assist from the side."
This Nanzhan Kingdom is close to Annan and is also a foreign country of the Ming Dynasty. Over the past decades, it has been invaded by Annan every year, and the two countries have long formed a feud. Just a few years ago, Annan Kingdom sent troops and falsely claimed 180,000, and plundered Nanzhan. Wherever they passed, blood flowed into a river. The important town of the Nanzhan Kingdom was destroyed, and 90,000 people were all slaughtered by the Annan people, leaving only more than 2,000 people.
Therefore, in Nanzhang, from the king to the people, they all had an irreconcilable relationship with Annan, and Liu Chengfeng was even more angry and said that the Ming Dynasty sent 500,000 troops to conquer Annan. This news was like giving the Nanzhang Kingdom a shot of chicken blood. This Nanzhang Kingdom must have a slap.
Liu Chengfeng was not expecting the Nanzhang Kingdom to be of any help, but just hoped that the Nanzhang Kingdom could hold back the elite Annan Kingdom located on the western front of Annan. To put it bluntly, the Nanzhang Kingdom is the cannon fodder.
After hearing Liu Chengfeng's words, Li Dongdong couldn't help but nodded secretly. The preparation for combat was particularly important. Liu Chengfeng asked himself to prepare for the Nanzhang, which was indeed a wonderful step. It can be seen that Liu Chengfeng's vision has also been raised to the overall perspective.
This guy is learning things too quickly, Li Dongdong couldn't help but wonder.
Liu Chengfeng then smiled faintly and said, "I will write a letter now and present all the things here into the palace. Please read the emperor. Everyone prepare separately. It's not time for me. I missed this opportunity. There will be no such opportunity next time."
Li Dongdong couldn't help frowning. Liu Chengfeng just said that he would invite the emperor to Yu Lan, which made him feel a little nervous. It is important to know that the word Yu Lan means different. Yu Lan means to inform the emperor. Is such a big thing just to tell the emperor? At least he has to ask the emperor to decide.
After all, bypassing the Ministry of Rites, bypassing the cabinet, and making big moves directly, this is not a good thing and will be criticized.!
