7. Zhu Xin who survived in the cracks

"Your Majesty, in the territory of my Maple Country, there are a total of 11 cities, there are 1,000 cavalry in the army, 10,000 infantry in the Maple Country, and the army is mainly based on the army of the Flame Country, and the Yan army received last night is 10,000 people, plus the prisoners captured during the previous defeat, more than 10,000 people, a total of about 20,000 people. The surrender of the army of the Yan vassal state plus the capture of less than 20,000 prisoners. ”

"Your Majesty, with a little training, these soldiers will be able to enter battle in less than a month, and the seven vassal states on the side of the vassal state of the country of Maple have captured many captured soldiers, and the total number can reach fifteen thousand. ”

Listening to the reports of her subordinates, Feng Xue calculated in her heart: 11 cities, 65,000 infantry, and 1,000 cavalry.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Not enough!"

Many generals listened quietly, this sound was not enough, as if five thunders hit the hearts of the generals.

One thought came to your mind: to expand the army.

"Gongsun Ce, how many people are there in my Maple Country?" asked Feng Xue.

Gongsun Ce got up and replied slowly: "The people of the captured small states are generally about 10,000 people, Yancheng has not experienced a battle and is well preserved, and the people are about 80,000 people. The people of Fengcheng are about 70,000, a total of 250,000. ”

When the generals heard this, they were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect the country of Maple to develop so rapidly.

"However, most of these 250,000 people are old and weak, women and children, and most of the young and strong men have joined the army, and if you count the non-commissioned officers, there are 300,000 people in our country. Gongsun Ce finished speaking.

Everyone began to ponder, 300,000 people draw 50,000 people to join the army, the proportion of six draws seems very small, but half men and women, this is 150,000 people, the elderly and children will account for more than half, this is only 70,000 left, you can't leave a single man, and then I am afraid that even the grain can not be planted in the spring and harvested in the autumn.

Feng Xue only pondered for a moment before saying, "How many men are there in the vassal country, and the seven lords of the country are ordered to organize an army of 20,000 and prepare to send troops to Lingcheng!"

The figure of 20,000 is very delicate, before the vassal states captured 5,000 people, the seven vassal states totaled 75,000 people, the original army of only 10,000 people, now the whole army is 20,000, that is to say, from the seven vassal states, another 5,000 Ding Zhuang will be extracted.

75,000 draw 15,000, the ratio of 5 to 1!

But it's not impossible, after all, there are still some Ding Zhuang left.

Feng Xue asked again: "What is the background of the Li nobles who opened the gate of Yancheng City and surrendered before, and what is the background?"

Li Sheng replied: "Your Majesty, the nobles of Li have a very good personal relationship with the nobles in Yancheng, and the nobles in Yancheng like to raise guards, and the guards of the nobles in Yancheng add up to more than 1,000 people! ”

"Guards?" Feng Xue then said: "Meritorious ministers need to be rewarded, let Noble Li lead the private soldiers of the nobles to the battlefield with us, and let Noble Li recruit Ding Zhuang in the seven vassal states, recruiting 5,000 people." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Shi responded.

Gongsun Ce stared at Feng Xue on the throne, and understood a little in his heart, and it happened that Feng Xue's eyes swept over at this time.

"Gongsun Ce, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Gongsun Ce, who was named by Feng Xue, did not panic at all, on the contrary, he was very frank and strode out.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to rule these cities through vassal lords, I have a plan. ”

"Not through a vassal lord, you mean to directly manage the city. Feng Xue's eyes stared at Gongsun Ce, and suddenly laughed: "Gongsun Ce knows me, knows my current predicament, say!"

"It's Your Majesty, the current vassal country is called vassal, but once my Feng army has the slightest defeat, the first person to turn against is these people, if the vassal country is left behind in the rear too many young and strong men, once our army can't attack Lingcheng for a long time, these vassal states are very likely to rebel, and the same is true for these newly occupied cities. ”

"This is especially true of Yancheng, where these nobles have guards in their hands and send them to the battlefield to prevent civil strife in the rear. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Ce went straight to the point: "But Your Majesty, we have these concerns, and Ling Guo Ling Feng is not without it, Ling State is a slave country, and most of their vassal states are very afraid of becoming slaves of neighboring countries, we should take advantage of this and send a letter to the vassals of Ling State, warning them that if they insist on going their own way, we will send a large army to exterminate them, and if they are made vassals of my Feng Country, we can spare his life!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Ce paused, and immediately said: "After that, send the army of the vassal country and these surrendered troops first, and consume the national strength of the Ling country, while the main force of our Feng army will not move." ”

"This ......" everyone was shocked.

What surprised them was not how insidious this plan was, but how quickly Gongsun Ce's transformation would be.

Only Gongsun Ce himself knew that what he did had only one purpose: to work for Fengxue's feudal state.

Feng Xue nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

At this time, in the Lingcheng Palace, Ling Feng was sitting on the throne, and there were three generals in armor sitting below.

Ling Feng opened his mouth and asked, "When will the army of the Kamikaze Kingdom arrive, how many soldiers and horses are there, and who is the leading general?"

One of the generals stood up and replied: "My kamikaze country is now fighting against other countries, and most of the troops are pinned down, only 30,000 slave soldiers have been sent here, accompanied by 5,000 kamikaze country elites, and the leading general is Zhou Shizong, who is known as the 'gray wolf'!"

"Zhou Shizong?" Ling Feng was stunned: "Why isn't it a fang?"

The general was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "My king specially ordered me to apologize to you, the war in the kamikaze country is tight, and the god of war fang is fighting with the enemy general known as the 'butcher' of the enemy country, and it is difficult to deploy." I hope you don't blame it. ”

"Wufang, it's good to be able to send troops here. Ling Feng responded.

"King Ling, the five thousand slave soldiers in the vanguard of our army have been brought by us, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be rushed within three days, and I will also ask King Ling to allocate grain and grass, and all the citizens of the vassal countries will be moved to Lingcheng, and my king said that it will only take half a year for him to solve the war, and he will send a large army to come. ”

"Okay, pass the order down, and order all the vassal states to move into Lingcheng City. ”

At this time, Zhu Xin received orders from Feng Xue and Ling Feng, and she wanted to cry without tears!

The two sides are very consistent.

and if they will not listen to me, they will send a great army and slay thee.

But if you listen to it, when you get to the battlefield, I'm afraid that the first batch of cannon fodder to come on the field will be Zhu Xin's people.

In any case, neither side planned to leave a way for Zhu Xin to live.

Zhu Xin walked back and forth in the main hall, and Luo Yong said in the main hall: "King, I have a plan to escape this disaster,"

Zhu Xin hurriedly asked, "Is there any way?"

Luo Yong slowly said a word: "Run!"
