Otherworldly Castle Era

The guard came in and reported: "General, the envoys of the vassal countries have arrived."

"Okay, let the envoys wait in the meeting room." After learning that the five vassal state envoys had arrived at Pingguan City, Li Jing turned around from the map facing the wall and said to the guards: The chief of staff and the generals gathered in the meeting room."

With the guards clasping their fists and leading them away, Li Jing picked up the booklet he had prepared, and quickly flipped through it to see if there were any missing items that needed to be discussed in the next meeting.

At this time, Li Jing, an army of 187,000 including the servant army, and 100,000 logistics militiamen have all gathered in Pingguan City, and they will dispatch troops only after today's discussion.

The land route does not need to be carried out by sea. The preparations required are very cumbersome and the time required is also very long. From gathering troops to gathering manpower and materials, it is not just a departure. Even if you have made sufficient preparations before, it will take some time before you leave.

Just like the way in Xia State, when it comes to Shanhaiguan, you will go to Shanhaiguan, but it is different when you leave Shanhaiguan. Because the enemy is not an adjacent country, you need to rely on the middle vassal country.

This is also the reason why Li Jing met with the envoys of the vassal states today. He wanted these vassal states to provide Xia Guo with 100,000 labors in accordance with the previous notice.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the procrastination of these vassal states and not seeing people for a long time, Li Jing would have set off long ago, and would not spend a few days in the city of Pingguan.

...

In the meeting room, the envoys of the five vassal nations sat at the end with their hands and feet uneasy, looking at them with great air, and the energetic generals of Xia Guo looked at them, which made them feel a little complacent when they felt uneasy.

The rest of the territories and forces don't know it. People from these vassal countries, especially the high-level people, know it. As the contact increases, the stronger they perceive the Xia Kingdom.

Now these former high-ranking generals of Xia Guo are all watching them. This kind of treatment is the first for people outside of Xia Guo. How can this not make them proud? This is the capital to brag about in front of their colleagues in the future!

"Let's talk about it, where is the 100,000 manpower required by this country?" Li Jing didn't care what the barbarians thought at the end, he was straightforward and straightforward.

"Return to the words of the general of the country." Among them, Andre's messenger was recommended by the others as their spokesperson.

The messenger stood up, bowed to Li Jing with Xia Guo’s fist, and replied with the half-baked Xia Guoyu: "We are in accordance with the order of Shangguo’s order. We are already... ready, just... right there. Inside Nanshan City."

"In Nanshan City?" Li Jing got the answer he wanted most, nodded in satisfaction, and then continued: "Very well, you will inform Nanshan City after you go back, saying that your country's rebellious army is coming soon and let them do it. Good preparations for transportation of supplies."

The envoys immediately opened their mouths when they heard the word "very good" said by Li Jing, and became happy. This was affirmed by Xia Guo, and they thought that they would be able to deal with each other next time. As for what Li Jing said later, he naturally agreed.

In fact, these five vassals of the vassal countries can be regarded as being today through the light of Xia Kingdom. Because only a few of them are the best at learning Xia Guo's language, writing, and etiquette, otherwise it would be impossible for them to take up this important job with a few of them who have no "background".

It can be said that it is to please Xia Guo, their suzerain state, and the five vassal states are very caring. No matter how big or small things are, they must report to Xia Guo. If Xia Guo has any requirements for them, he will do his best to satisfy them.

However, in general, Xia Guo disdain to intervene in the internal affairs of the vassal state. As for the war of the vassal state against the Fulimet State, Xia Guo fully supports it verbally.

Even in order to allow the five vassal states to face off with Fulimet for a period of time, in this military training plan, Xia State avoided the nearby Fulimet, whether by land or sea.

After the ambassadors of the five countries left happily, Li Jing looked at the generals and solemnly ordered: "Everyone, go back today and be ready to leave on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Yes, general!" After all the generals finally waited for these words, Qi Qi stood up and clasped his fists in excitement.

After Li Jing discussed the details of the expedition with the generals, the meeting adjourned and left.

Returning to the back room, Li Jing asked Liu Ji who was with him: "Military strategist, can our army trust the barbarians outside Guan? Is it published?"

"Credible and unreliable, and it can be used or not." Liu Ji smiled slightly, and said something that I didn't know.

After hearing this, Li Jing had some feelings, and smiled at Liu Ji: "The military division is like this, please help Li." Li Jing is also a man of strategy, but most of them call themselves generals and have the character of a soldier. He likes to be straightforward. For Liu Ji, the chief of staff, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Haha, the general is not anxious, let's listen to Liu." Liu Ji and Li Jing have also cooperated many times. Sometimes when there are only two people, there are not so many rules.

After laughing, Liu Ji returned to seriousness and explained: "Foreign barbarians, even if they belong to a vassal, are of a foreign race, they must not be trusted, the same reason, and they must not be used all."

"Military strategist is worried that these barbarians will have different intentions?" After thinking about it, Li Jing knew what Liu Ji was worried about. He was very familiar with marching wars, and he must pay attention to what should be paid attention to.

"No, more than!" Liu Ji shook his head and said, "This is only one of them, but with the army of the country, he won't be able to win the sky. Besides, the army of this country has no experience of cooperating with outsiders, Liu Someone is worried that once these 100,000 barbarians are on the battlefield, not only will it not help, but the anti-terrorism will become a drag."

In fact, the latter point that Liu Ji said was what he was most worried about. After all, Xia's military system was a complete and closed system, which was not easily touched by outsiders.

Even if these indigenous people are only responsible for the transportation of materials ~www.novelmtl.com~, they will worry that these people will lose the materials or accidentally ignite the gunpowder, and the fun will be great. Not to mention the loss of material information, which exposed Xia's military information. All of this was what Xia Guo worried about.

Because of this, Yang Song asked Yang Xin of the military hall to mobilize one hundred thousand militiamen to bear the logistic supply of 87,000 soldiers on the side of the army.

"Li knows." Li Jing recalled these causes and consequences, and suddenly realized: "Let the barbarians be responsible for the logistics and transportation of the servants."

Anyway, the servant army is also an indigenous barbarian. All the logistics materials except the arrow are food, and there is nothing to keep secret. Let one hundred thousand indigenous laborers be responsible for the logistics of the one hundred thousand servant army, exactly one person corresponds to one person.

Even if one person assumes the logistics for one person, it is actually not enough, but this is in wartime, which means that there will be wars and battles. If there is battle, there will be attrition. After downsizing, there is no need to worry about insufficient logistics personnel.

This is what Li Jing just thought of. In the past, even if he knew that the servant army was an indigenous barbarian, he still regarded it as a member of the army, but he knew that Yang Song and others had never regarded the servant army as an adult, but treated it as a consumption that was discarded when used up. No matter how good it is, how can you give more consideration to it.
