Chapter 643 Everyone has their own plans
Faced with this question, Jiang Li thought carefully for a long time before saying:
"Brother Lin, in my opinion, as long as we want, let alone taking over these four counties, we can even take over both countries."
He was not being arrogant. The Daqian army had experienced so many battles and was far ahead in terms of weapons and armor. It would be unreasonable if they could not even defeat two small countries.
After saying this, Jiang Li seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't fully understand it.
"I understand. Brother Lin, the consuls of the two countries understand that their 20,000-plus troops are crucial in this battle. If they join us, Daliang will be more passive. But if they join Daliang, we will be passive."
"They want to take advantage of this and weaken us. After we capture the capital of Daliang, we will no longer be able to attack the four counties they occupy."
Jianfeng suddenly realized.
"I see!"
Having said that, even if Jiang Li's brain was not very good, he had figured out the pros and cons.
There are smart people in the military camps of these two countries.
But unfortunately, this man's plan had already been figured out by strategist Lin.
"So I also expected that they only wanted to make a profit in this negotiation and would never do anything to me."
Lin Xiaofan said. If he died in this negotiation, then he and Daqian would be at war to the death.
"Well, I will send another 3,000 elite soldiers to ambush in this forest. If Brother Lin encounters any accidents, they will be able to take care of him in time."
Jianfeng thought for a moment and pointed to an area on the map.
This place is located between Daqian Military Camp and Qingyang Lake, about five kilometers away. If Lin Xiaofan is ambushed, he can provide timely support.
Nanlong military camp, inside the general's tent.
The dancers performed their dance moves to their heart's content, and every move was full of charm.
Sitting on the main seat was a young man in his twenties, wearing a loose brocade robe and a jade sword on his waist. He took a bite of the food, his eyes full of enjoyment.
This man is the second prince of the Southern Dragon Kingdom and also the general of the Southern Dragon Kingdom on this expedition. His name is Zhong Chen. In the Southern Dragon Kingdom, he is one of the best in both martial arts and leading troops. His only shortcoming is that he likes to play a little.
"General Shi, the wine from your Jiashan Kingdom is really good."
Zhong Chen said.
Sitting in the second seat, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up and said:
"General Zhong, I offer you a glass of wine. This wine is made by a family that makes wine. They only produce a hundred jars a year. I still have five jars. If you like it, I will send it to you tomorrow."
He is the general who went on the expedition of Jiashan State this time. His name is Shi Ning. He is one of the best in Jiashan State in terms of martial arts.
In these troubled times, it is difficult for small countries to survive, and Jiashan and Nanlong are even smaller than other small countries.
The two countries are neighbors. If they keep fighting every day, they will really have no way to survive.
Therefore, they have been intermarrying and have been in good terms with each other for generations, and there has been no war for hundreds of years.
If the other party is in trouble, they will even lend a hand to support them.
"Haha, thank you, General Shi."
Zhong Chen was not polite either.
"General Zhong, you don't need to thank me. But today, are we being too abrupt?"
Shi Ning said while drinking.
What he was talking about, of course, was taking action against Daqian's scouts.
Daqian has won almost every battle in recent years, but they still took the initiative to provoke. When the other side withdraws its hands and attacks the two countries, the situation of the two countries will become even more difficult.
In terms of intelligence, he was indeed not as good as Zhong Chen, so he did not dissuade him at that time. But now, the more he thought about it, the more flustered he felt.
"Haha, I was wondering why General Shi always looked so worried. Turns out he was worried about this."
Zhong Chen took a sip of wine, looking nonchalant.
"That's right. This move of mine is just a warning to Daqian."
"Why... do you want to show your power to Daqian?"
Shi Ning frowned even more tightly. Daqian didn't provoke them.
"I want to let them know that our two countries are not afraid of Daqian, nor are they easy to bully. If they provoke us and unite with Daliang, they will suffer the consequences."
Zhong Chen said.
Seeing that Shi Ning was still confused, he continued to explain:
"Let me ask you, how much credit did Daqian have for Daliang's destruction of the country this time? And how much credit do we have?"
Zhong Chen thought for a moment and scratched his head a little embarrassedly:
"General Zhong, let me say something unpleasant. The destruction of Daliang this time seems to have nothing to do with us."
"That's it. You are Daqian, are you willing to give up half of your achievements for no reason?"
"Not reconciled!"
Zhong Chen seemed to have put himself into the situation and slapped the table and stood up.
"After the Daliang Kingdom is destroyed, will they take back the four counties in our hands?"
"definitely will!"
Shi Ning answered, and immediately understood the truth, and said:
"I understand. If we want these four counties, we can't avoid a war. So, we should take advantage of Daqian's current situation to weaken them as much as possible and strengthen ourselves?"
"That's it."
Zhong Chen spoke.
"General Zhong is a man of great talent. It is a blessing for both our countries to have General Zhong here. Come, let me toast you again."
Shi Ning laughed loudly. With such a great teammate, he only needs to charge into battle in the future without having to use his brain. This feeling is really good.
"Where."
Zhong Chen shook his head, but there was no trace of humility in his eyes.
In the evening, when Shi Ning was about to leave, a soldier came up quickly:
"Generals, a letter has arrived from Daqian."
"Send it up."
Shi Ning looked quite nervous. Although what Zhong Chen said made sense, they killed the Daqian scouts for no reason anyway.
If this is Daqian's declaration of war, the two countries have no way out.
"Show it to General Shi. General Shi, I know without thinking that it must be the people from Daqian who want to meet with us to discuss this matter."
Zhong Chen did not read the letter, his expression was full of confidence.
Shi Ning opened the letter with some doubt, glanced at the contents, and suddenly realized what was going on. He then looked at Zhong Chen with eyes full of admiration.
The second prince of the Nanlong Kingdom could even guess the contents of the other party's letter. He is so amazing.
"With General Zhong here, these four counties are ours. We may also have a hand in Daliang's capital. I admire you."
Shi Ning continued to praise.
"Haha. It's good enough to have these four counties. Let's give the capital of Daliang to Daqian. You can't get fat in one bite, right?"
Zhong Chen smiled. Nanlong State took over two counties, and its territory expanded by nearly half. If there were more, it might not be able to take them all.
"But, could this invitation of his be a trick?"
Shi Ning asked again.
"It's possible, but we still have to go to this appointment."
Zhong Chen nodded slightly and said, if he didn't go, he wouldn't get any profit.
"Well, you send someone to bring a letter to Daliang, telling him about the alliance. It doesn't matter whether Daliang agrees or not, just let the people of Daqian hear it."
"When we go to the appointment, we will bring all our troops with us. If Daqian insists on fighting us, both sides will suffer losses, and Daliang will gain an advantage for nothing. Lin Xiaofan and Jianfeng will definitely not want this to happen, so they will not fight with us."
Zhong Chen said.
"Okay, let's do as Brother Zhong said."
