Bai Ruolan naturally knew that Bai Tengqi was joking. The fact is that since he took over the family business last year, Bai Tengqi has put all his energy into cultivating the next generation of the Bai family, and has indeed created a group of usable talents. Li Yuxuan already knew about this from his fiancée.

Compared with Li Yuxuan's overall training in the military model, Bai Tengqi focused on the cultivation of a very small number of individual abilities. The former focuses on the unity and coordination of the regiment's operations in wartime, while the latter lies in the cultivation of elite backbones. This is also one of the reasons why Li Yuxuan wants to unite with the Bai clan.

According to the internal intelligence of the Li family, in the past two years, there have indeed been several young masters with considerable strength in the Bai family. The sudden move of the Bai family, which has not been much of a martial artist in history, also shows that the views of the family leadership on the current situation are changing.

Although Li Yuxuan was convinced that his "Black Dragon Knights" were the most powerful cavalry troops in the southern part of the entire continent, commanding a force could not only rely on the wisdom and courage of the supreme leader, but also a group of generals with both wisdom and courage. These generals command the army at different levels, so that the top and bottom are the same. In this way, on the battlefield, the commander-in-chief can command the army flexibly and flexibly. As the saying goes, "a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find", which is exactly this reason.

But after several years of observation, in addition to his friend Tang Xu and younger brother Li Yuyang, it is really difficult to find another general among the younger generation of his family. And Tang Xu and Li Yuyang are still too young and still need to be honed. Although my father has recruited a group of talents in recent years, there are very few who can fight on the battlefield. After all, now on the eve of the changes of the times, the slightly capable warriors have long been taken under the command of various countries, and who is willing to take refuge in a family that has been a merchant for generations?

Regardless of the others, Bai Yunqi, who is now the deputy commander of the Capital Guards, is one of the candidates that Li Yuxuan wants to win over the most. Although he is only thirty years old, he is old and serious, proficient in the art of war, and has a set of troop arrangement, which is not inferior to any veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He himself is also a core member of the Bai clan.

Among the younger generation, the most outstanding are Bai Ruofeng and Bai Ruoyun. In the Li family's intelligence, the introduction of the two aroused Li Yuxuan's great interest.

Bai Ruoyun, male, 23 years old, good at collecting intelligence, first-class organizational skills, the "thirteen" under his jurisdiction is the underground intelligence network of the Bai clan, although the number is small, but the efficiency is very high. My birth is unknown, and it is estimated that he should be the righteous son of Bai Tengqi.

Bai Ruofeng, male, age unknown, estimated to be around twenty to thirty years old, assassin. The assassination of Skoll, the former prime minister of the Kingdom of Atterbury, is most likely the work of this person. My birth is unknown, and there are no clues about this situation so far.

"Son-in-law, I know the purpose of your visit this time. First, though, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the current situation. Bai Tengqi asked this unhurriedly, obviously wanting to see Li Yuxuan's ability to analyze the problem.

Li Yuxuan straightened out his thoughts and said the following paragraph at the same speed.

"In general, the Celestial Dragon Empire in the east is now strong, but unfortunately there are only three roads to the west, which are blocked by Tiermu, Basr, and Fengxiang, respectively, and cannot advance westward. However, the Celestial Dragon Empire has the first seafaring capability on the mainland, and westward expansion may not only come from land, and Celestial Dragon will have more westward strategies.

The Gobi beach in the north of the continent is uninhabited, and as far as the central and southern parts of the continent are concerned, the northernmost Zhunger and Termu form a confrontation situation, and there is no time to invade, so there will be no action for the time being. Ratbury, on the other hand, and several other nations that have crossed borders with us, are preparing to invade the south. Since the king has been unable to manage the government due to illness for many years, and the two princes have fought to the death for the position of crown prince, once there is a war on the border, it will not be possible to form a powerful central command at all, and the whole kingdom will inevitably fall into the predicament of fighting its own war.

The kingdom faces the sea to the west and is not in danger for the time being, and to the north are Ya'an and Atbury, because the Brin Mountains stretch across the southern part of the continent, Ya'an cannot directly enter our territory, and its national strength does not allow it to invade our country in the south. If Atbury wants to invade our country, he must first capture the Brinchon Pass, and use it as a base to encroach on the Luoping Plains in the northern part of our country and the nearby sparse forest areas.

To the northeast of the kingdom is Basre, and the closest major city to Basr is Deciduous City, which is controlled by Duke Yeluo. However, according to our intelligence system, it has close contacts with Basir. For the last two years, Basr has ordered a large number of war horses from the north, and according to my rough estimates, the total number of cavalry is between 20,000 and 30,000. However, Fallen Leaf City is located on the southern shore of Luoshui, which stretches across the southern part of the continent, and is built on a mountain, blocking the road to the south. Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that if you don't capture Fallen Leaf City, you can't go south. However, it is also well known that the north bank of Luoshui here is longitudinal and longitudinal and mountainous, which is not conducive to the march of the cavalry of the large corps. In light of all of the above, the only explanation is that Duke Yeluo had reached an agreement with Basr to spare his cavalry in the event of Basr's attack, and let him take Kefield directly.

"However, as the capital of the Carol Kingdom for nearly two hundred years, Kefield's fortifications are among the strongest in the southern part of the entire continent, and the 10,000 guards in the city are the elite of the kingdom. Two or thirty thousand cavalry, I'm afraid they won't be able to capture Kefield in one or two months. Bai Tengqi wasted no time in raising his own questions, "When the time comes, reinforcements from all over the center will put Basr's cavalry in a situation where they cannot attack and retreat." ”

Li Yuxuan smiled, not flustered by Bai Tengqi's interruption.

"Father-in-law, has you forgotten the Fengxiang Kingdom to the south of us?"

"But isn't Fengxiang our ally?" Bai Tengqi asked rhetorically.

"There are no permanent friends between countries, and interests are decided. If you were the king of Fengxiang, would you go to the rescue of an ally who was attacked on all sides and was falling apart? Or would you take advantage of the lucrative moment? Fengxiang's cavalry would only take two days to reach Kefield, and the infantry would only need five days, and there would be no danger in the south of our country. In the face of a two-sided enemy, how long can Kefield, as a lonely city, hold out?"

"Okay! Okay! Listen to your words, it's better than reading a book for ten years!"

Bai Tengqi made three "good" in a row, and he himself was indeed impressed by this wonderful exposition on the current situation.

"When you and I form an alliance, I hope that the virtuous son-in-law will have a perfect plan to help our two families get out of this unfavorable situation. Bai Tengqi's words were equivalent to showing his support for the alliance between the two families.

"The son-in-law must live up to the trust!"

Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Li Yuxuan got up and prepared to leave.

"Slow, since you are here, you should also accompany Ruolan, I, as an elder, it is time to avoid suspicion and let you children talk. Ruolan, I'll send Yu Xuan'er on my behalf. As he spoke, he stood up and walked out, but at this moment, he was still immersed in Li Yuxuan's discussion of the situation of various countries just now, and he didn't hear Bai Tengqi's orders at all.

Just as Bai Teng was about to step out of the room, a young man about twenty-two or three years old flashed in.
