Episode 19 Lynda's Proposal
The huge shock caused by the explosion immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers and the entire town. When the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms outside the official residence hurriedly broke into the house and put on a look of imminent fire, Lin Da had already put away the sword on Zhao Mian's head, as if nothing had happened, and laughed at Zhao Mian and the others: "Hehe! The power of Your Majesty's move is really worthy of its reputation, it seems that even in the face of King Qin, it will not be defeated!
A cold sweat broke out on Zhao Mian's head, Lin Da's blow just now, the speed was so fast, the strength was so flexible, far above him, his skills were not as good as others, he had to suffer this loss, and he was silent for a while. After glancing at Luo Cheng, both of them saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes, and Luo Cheng, who had always been experienced and calm, immediately understood it, immediately changed his expression, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Hehe! Master Lin has amazing powers, and the two of us are equally impressed! Then according to the opinion of Master Law, let's sit down and have a good talk!"
Soon, the four of them sat down again in another set up room next to them. But this time, Zhao Mian and the others did not have the arrogance and arrogance just now, and the short fight with Lin Da just now, the two already knew their weight. The position of the four people also changed, Linda and Schroeder sat on the main seat of the room, although Zhao Mian was unwilling, he had to accept this arrangement honestly.
After sitting down, Luo Cheng began to ask flatteringly, "Master Lin, I don't know what your proposal was just now, if it is feasible, we may be able to discuss it again." ”
Lin Da smiled slightly, raised the teacup on the table and took a sip gently, and then said slowly: "Two, I think that our three kingdoms against the Qin army, of course, should be based on the alliance, but in view of the reality of both you and me, I think that in the battle, it is not necessary to form a coalition to fight together, why don't we three countries fight separately and be responsible for different combat areas? ”
"The Three Kingdoms are fighting their own battles? How can this work? Our armies alone are not the opponents of the Qin Army, if they are separated, how can they fight against the Qin Army?" Luo Cheng said suspiciously, and Schroeder on the side glanced at Lin Da in confusion.
Linda explained: "Hehe! It's not true to say that you have to fight separately. What I mean is that the three of us can rationally divide labor in the major operations against Qin, and each of us will perform its own duties, and we do not need to appoint a commander, but only need to achieve our respective combat missions. The three can also organize combat operations on their own, but they must inform the other two parties in advance and support them if they have the resources to spare. In this way, we can avoid the trouble caused by the unclear command and control of our three parties, and we can work together to fight the Qin army again. ”
After listening to Lin Da's analysis, Luo Cheng and the three of them finally understood what Lin Da meant, and after thinking silently for a moment, Luo Cheng brushed his beard and said: "Well, Master Lin's opinion is not bad, in this way, the three of us don't have to argue about who is the main one, anyway, they are all against the Qin army, as long as they unite to fight, um... It's kind of a good note, isn't it? It's just..."
Although Luo Cheng thought that Linda's proposal was good, he didn't have a reason to accept this opinion in his heart, because they had used the slogan of establishing an alliance army from the beginning, so as to control part of the Blue Star Country army and propose huge war funding support to the Blue Star Country, and even planned to let the Blue Star Country army rush to the forefront of resisting the Qin army as cannon fodder to resist the Qin army. If it is according to Linda's opinion, then the two countries cannot take advantage of the Blue Star Country in this regard. Although he didn't want to agree with Linda's opinion in his heart, he didn't dare to resolutely deny Linda's opinion as he did with Schroeder just now.
Seeing that Luo Cheng was reluctant to express his position for a long time, and Zhao Mian also looked cold, Lin Da naturally guessed what the other party meant, he sneered in his heart, sighed lightly, and said: "Two, according to the proposal just now, the contradictions that existed before our three parties can be solved immediately, why not? And our Blue Star Country is also well aware of the righteousness, it does not mean that we will ignore the overall situation of resisting Qin if we fight separately in this way, we should support the two countries, we will still do it." ”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he raised his brows slightly and asked, "Oh, I don't know how your country plans to support us?"
Linda said: "Of course, it is all the support. Militarily, we will continue to send reinforcements here to cooperate with the armies of the two countries against the Qin army, and in terms of material resources, we will support the low-level magic weapons of a thousand-strong army of the two countries every month and a certain amount of spirit stone consumption. The Blue Star Country is a well-known country with a lack of cultivation resources, presumably we can support so many materials from the two countries every month, the two of you should also understand, right?"
"It's just that..."When Luo Cheng heard this, his face suddenly showed an ugly look, because the support conditions that Linda said were far from meeting his requirements.
Lin Da knew this, and took another sip of tea, but he deliberately kept silent, as if he had made a big concession by making these promises just now.
When Luo Cheng hesitated, Zhao Mian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and said, "Hmph! If you don't establish an alliance, it would be good to follow your proposal that the three kingdoms should fight separately." It's just that at the moment the Qin army is fighting our territory, and the two countries of Yan and Zhao are at the forefront of the resistance against Qin, and in the face of the Qin army, we will fight bravely to kill the enemy, but your Blue Star Country is far behind, how can we make us believe that you will fully cooperate with us to resist the land? In the end, it is not our two countries that have contributed the most, but you are hiding behind and enjoying the success? This current situation is also much unfavorable to us, and less beneficial to you. If it weren't for the desperate resistance of our two armies to the Qin army, maybe the Qin army would have been able to hit your Hanzhong City the next day!"
Lin Da listened to Zhao Mian's words, and sneered in his heart, according to what he said, it seemed that the two armies of Yan and Zhao had made great sacrifices against the Qin army. He received Schroeder's report on the battle of Changshan City a few days ago, combined with the information sent back by the advance teams for a long time, the real combat effectiveness of the Yan and Zhao armies can also be estimated to be seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and it is good that these two countries can protect themselves, if they want to rely on their strength to defeat the Qin army, it is absolutely fantastic.
However, Lin Da still pretended to be a very scoundrel on the surface, and said: "I'm sorry, our people in the Blue Star Country are also people, and the battle didn't reach our territory, so of course we won't use the strength of the whole country to come to a foreign country to work for others." In this battle, maybe the Qin army will withdraw its troops after the battle, and the battle will not reach the territory of our Blue Star Country! Our Blue Star Country's spiritual ore resources are pitiful, and they are all well known in Dongyan Continent, so there is no reason to attract the Qin State to invade at all! Therefore, if you want us to increase reinforcements or take on more combat responsibilities, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it!"
"You!So, are you going to fight against the Qin army with us?!" Zhao Mian's face flashed with anger, but it immediately flashed, he knew that Lin Da was not someone he could offend casually.
"No, Your Majesty, don't misunderstand what I mean! Of course, Lan Xinguo will participate in the fight against Qin, but he will not send too many troops or provide more military aid and support. Linda said with a smile.
Luo Cheng on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Master Lin, your analysis just now is really too optimistic, but you don't know anything about the Qin State! As we all know, the Qin State is the army of tigers and wolves, and the King of Qin has the ambition to dominate the world, and if you don't destroy several of our countries and unify Dongyanzhou, you won't give up for a day! You put your hope on the Qin State to take the initiative to withdraw its troops, this is absolutely impossible! I would like to advise your country, you must not have illusions about the Qin State!"
Lin Da pretended to be very embarrassed and sighed, and said, "I also know the cruelty of the Qin State. But there is no way, I also sympathize with the hardships and difficulties of the two countries against the Qin army, but the Blue Star Country is not something I can call the shots alone, if we want to give more military aid, it must be voted and approved by the Congress, there are too many things involved, and I really can't do anything. ”
Hearing this, Luo Cheng showed an extremely disappointed look on his face, and Zhao Mian also showed his dissatisfaction on his face without concealing it, and the two of them were really disappointed with Linda's statement. In fact, the two of them also knew what the chances of victory the two countries had against the Qin army, and if they could get the greatest assistance from the Blue Star Country, of course, they could greatly relieve the pressure on the two of them, but they had always regarded the Blue Star Country as a small country and a regional power, and they didn't want to lose their dignity in front of the small country, so they constantly forced Schroeder to compromise with them. If the Blue Star Kingdom really threatened to give up support against the Qin army, these two people were indeed helpless, and the person who said this was Lin Da, and there was nothing they could do.
Schroeder, who was on the side, didn't know what Linda was paying attention to, and he stopped talking a few times, but still didn't say anything.
Finally, the four of them were silent for a while, and it was Linda who broke the silence first and said slowly: "Well, if we have to give more support to the two countries militarily, it's not impossible. I have an immature proposal, and I'd like to hear your opinions. ”
Hearing this, Luo Cheng's face turned overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Master Lin's proposal, please speak quickly!" Even Zhao Mian's body on the side leaned slightly, slightly ahead of his interest.
Lin Da said lightly: "It's not impossible for my country to increase military aid to you. In fact, my country's biggest concern is still in the casualties, as you know, our Blue Star Country is a country dominated by mortals, and the soldiers are from every ordinary mortal family. If too many people died because of the war, the domestic media and organizations will report it and fan the people's anti-war sentiment... Well... Although we don't have those guys, in terms of public opinion, we still can't ignore it. Therefore, if we want to increase the investment of troops, this is really not possible. The only thing that is feasible is that the soldiers we used to fight in the two places of Yan and Zhao are not soldiers from our Blue Star Country. ”
Luo Cheng and the others were immediately surprised when they heard Linda's concerns about the domestic media and the public. For a long time, in the two countries of Yan and Zhao, mortals are the existence with the lowest social status, and no Xiuzhen ruler will consider any feelings of ordinary mortals, in their eyes, mortals are just a supplement to the low-level monks and soldiers in the country, as well as a source of tax revenue for the secular economy, for the Xiuzhen rulers, it is not important at all, and the casualties of ordinary mortals will never be considered in previous wars, let alone listen to their opinions.
Therefore, when they heard Lan Xinguo's attitude towards mortals, they couldn't help but show surprise, and secretly still had a trace of contempt, if it weren't for the fact that they still had a lot of hostility towards Linda, I am afraid they would have to fight for him.
Luo Cheng suddenly realized: "I say that why your country can't go all out to participate in the war, it turns out that it is because of the opposition of mortals? No wonder there are not many cultivators in your country's army, it turns out that there are too many mortals, it seems that the mortals of your country are really too arrogant." ”
Lin Da smiled helplessly, and didn't say anything, but acquiesced to Luo Cheng's opinion. Seeing this, Luo Cheng then asked, "In that case, what is the advice that Grand Master Lin said? Is it related to mortals?"
Lin Da suddenly smiled and said, "That's right! I think that since the mortals of our country are not willing to participate in the war easily, I can't force them to participate in the war, how about letting the mortals of your two countries participate in the war? My plan is to let our Lan Xinguo army recruit mortal soldiers in Yan and Zhao, let the Blue Star Country army train and equip them, and form an army that is armed and commanded by our Blue Star Country and composed of ordinary Yan and Zhao mortals, and we will command them to participate in the war. Although these soldiers are nominally commanded by the Blue Star Country, they are actually all Yan Zhao's people, and it is impossible for them to be truly inclined to our Blue Star Country. The mortals of Yan and Zhao are huge, and if they can be armed, although they can't compare to the Xiuzhen army, they can also be regarded as a powerful force. If we can defeat the Qin army, these people will naturally return to Yan and Zhao after the war, and it will never be possible to continue to follow us, so you can rest assured of their loyalty. I don't know what do you two think of this suggestion?"
When Lin Da said these words, his tone seemed to be understated, as if he didn't care that the other party would accept this suggestion, but in fact, he was slightly nervous in his heart, for fear that Luo Cheng and the others would immediately reject this proposal.
This idea of recruiting the mortals of Yan and Zhao as the army of the Blue Star Country is the key thing he researched with Yaden and others after he left the customs, and it is also an extremely important step in the "Pan Blue Plan"!
Luo Cheng and Zhao Mian listened to Lin Da's opinion and immediately became silent. Although mortals are nothing to the Xiuzhen rulers of these two countries, after all, they joined the army of the Blue Star Country and obeyed the command of the Blue Star Country in battle, although it is unlikely that these Yan Zhao mortals will be loyal to the Blue Star Country and betray Yan Zhao, but their own countrymen are commanded by the army of the Blue Star Country, which also makes the supreme rulers of these two countries feel a little uncomfortable.
When the two of them hesitated, Linda's face on the side suddenly changed, he stood up, and looked vigilantly in a certain direction in the distance, the other three saw this, and immediately realized something, and also looked in the direction that Linda paid attention to, and after a few minutes, the three of them finally sensed the changes in the distance.
