Chapter 173: War is coming
(Went to get vaccinated, so it's late!) )
Stone City!
Li Kuan's temporary office.
"Which army should be dispatched?" Li Kuan looked at the information about the military strength of the Wind Country in his hand, and couldn't help but think about it.
In the past few months, the intelligence officers from Di Ting have basically inquired about the military strength of the Wind Country.
The main military force, that is, the samurai, numbered about eight thousand.
I don't know the specific strength, but the information shows that among the eight thousand samurai, the leader and deputy leader have many records of killing well-known ninjas, and it can basically be judged that the two have the combat power of the upper ninja level.
And in addition to the samurai, there were also ordinary soldiers, about 40,000.
However, the combat power of these ordinary soldiers is worrying, because of the poverty of the Land of Wind, these soldiers can only eat enough, and there are no more, and they usually rarely train in order to save food.
Moreover, these soldiers are not to mention armor, even weapons are lacking, and many soldiers are directly holding bamboo poles with reduced tips.
It has been recorded that they were generally only responsible for assisting the samurai legions in battle, serving as cannon fodder, and cleaning up the battlefield for the samurai legions.
So, it's basically negligible!
Overall, though, the military power of the Wind Nation is not bad.
As for Li Kuan, there are only two armies he can dispatch at present.
One is the Werewolf Legion.
One is the first to ascend the army.
And these two armies...
Li Kuan thought about it for a while, and decided to use the army first!
No way!
The Werewolf Legion is of little use in a battlefield of this level.
There are currently three thousand werewolves in the Werewolf Legion.
Among them, two thousand are ordinary werewolves, and one thousand are demon wolves that have gradually been transformed over the years.
Needless to say, the combat power of ordinary werewolves is similar to that of ordinary people, and the demon wolf is a little stronger, because of its strong physique, and the magic bullets that can be released, and there is a certain reason for magic resistance, it can fight with the lower ninja.
But that's about it.
Compared to the samurai legion, which numbered enough 8,000, the werewolf legion was much worse.
And the first army is still 100,000 people.
Although it was incorporated into the army and became a regiment of the army, the "first army" still retains its name.
In terms of combat strength, the Xiandeng Army has 10,000 modern troops and 90,000 traditional troops.
Excluding the 90,000 traditional troops, although the 10,000 Xianden Army using modern weapons is probably not the opponent of the samurai legion physically, it will definitely crush the samurai legion in terms of firepower.
Well, the main weapon is AK47, and it is equipped with rocket launchers, self-propelled howitzers, mines, grenades and other weapons, although they are all styles of the fifties and sixties, sixties and seventies, and not the latest models at present, but the firepower is still considerable
As long as you distance yourself from the samurai legions and don't get into close combat, you can crush them.
"As long as the production line purchased from Lao Maozi can be operational, the army's firepower will be higher and more certain!" Li Kuan muttered.
At present, the weapons used by the Xiandeng Army are still bought from Heizhou, and the models are a bit old, and the weapons production line purchased from Lao Maozi has not started production at present because of the workers.
So the weapons were not replaced.
If it is replaced, it will be more certain to deal with the samurai legion.
"However, even if the negotiations with Lie Dou go well in a few days, it will take a few months of preliminary preparation, after all, it is a country!"
"When the time comes, I can take advantage of the gap in these few months to use those scientists, plus a group of clever young people, to produce a small batch of weapons to use." Li Kuan thought about it, and made a decision in his heart.

Datang plane!
Xuejia Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province!
"Auntie, eat some meat!" Xue Rengui smiled and sandwiched a chopstick of meat for his mother, then grabbed another chopstick and sent it to the bowl of a gentle woman on the side, "Lady, you can eat some too!" ”
Because he hadn't been home for a long time, some time ago, after dealing with the affairs of the Wafu and the army, Xue Rengui asked Li Kuan for leave and returned home.
And on this trip, in addition to wanting to see his mother, he also did one thing.
Tie the knot!
That's right, it's getting married!
Xue Rengui actually had a marriage contract when he was very young.
When his father was still there, when his father was still Zanji in Xiangcheng County, he had already set a baby family for him, from the Liu family in Hedong.
And although his father died later, and the family fell into the middle of the road, the Liu family in Hedong did not think about breaking the contract.
On the one hand, people in this era are indeed more faithful to their promises!
On the other hand, it was only a branch of the Hedong Liu clan that was engaged to Xue Rengui, and it was not a big family itself.
In addition, Xue Rengui's ancestor is also considered to be wide, and he is a descendant of Xue Andu, the king of Hedong, in this place in Hedong, a little bit of fame has been handed down, and the two are added and subtracted, even if Xue Rengui's family falls in the middle of the road, it can be regarded as a good match, so the Liu family has no intention of breaking the contract.
However, a few years ago, because of being called by Li Kuan to do things, Xue Rengui never had time to get married.
It was also during this period of time that the affairs of the Wafu came to an end, and he had time to get married.
"Well, Xie Fu-kun!" Liu's cheeks flushed, and he nodded shyly.
"Auntie, lady, I will go back to work under His Royal Highness the King of Chu in a while, I want to take you over together this time!" While eating, Xue Rengui said.
It's not the same thing for a family to live apart like this.
Therefore, before coming back this time, Xue Rengui thought about taking his family over.
Well, as a captain, he is now paid a lot of money every month.
And as Li Kuan's confidant, he heard that he was going to get married this time, Li Kuan not only gave him a lot of money, but also gave him a set of mansions in Chang'an and a mansion in Kyoto, which are not small.
These were enough for him to take the family over and live.
"Rengui, A-Niang is used to living here, and she doesn't want to go anywhere else, just go with Jinhua!" After Xue Mu's eyes flickered for a while, she spoke.
It's not that she doesn't want to go, but she thinks that Chang'an is a prosperous place, and if she goes, the cost will definitely not be low, for fear that it will drag Xue Rengui down.
"A-Niang, don't worry, I am the guard of the Chu Palace, and my monthly income is not low, and the King of Chu is very optimistic about me, this time I got married, and the King of Chu also sent me a set of mansions!" Xue Rengui saw his mother's worry at a glance, and persuaded him with a smile.
Externally, he has always claimed to be the guard of the Chu Palace.
Well, he can't say that he is the captain of the Great Chu State, right?
"This..."
Listening to Xue Rengui say this, Xue Mu was still a little hesitant.
"Auntie, you see, I'm married now, and I'm definitely going to have children in the future, if you don't go, who will take the children for me then?" Xue Rengui saw that his mother was still hesitating, and simply took a dose of fierce medicine.
Listening, before Xue Mu could answer, Liu Jinhua's face turned red, and her ears were also heated with shame.
"That's good!"
Hearing the child, Mother Xue's eyes lit up, and she agreed.
And just when the family is having a good time.
"Da Da Da!"
Outside the door, the sound of horses galloping came from far and near.
"Huh!?"
When Xue Rengui heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and there was an omen in his heart... I'm afraid this is coming for him.
Sure enough!
Next second!
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on his door.
"I'll open the door!" After Xue Rengui said a word, he got up and went to open the door.
And the moment he opened the door, he saw the familiar faces of his guards.
"Regiment commander, there is a telegram from the Gangchu Palace, the war is coming, let us gather urgently!" The guard said respectfully.
"Okay, got it!" Xue Rengui nodded solemnly.
