Chapter 483 Borrowing Troops

The condescending arrogance in Li Yunqing's words seemed to anger the princess from the sea.

Ao Lunli's beautiful blue eyes narrowed into two slits, and a trace of cold light shot out from them, but her words were still casual:

"I thought that His Royal Highness the Third Prince would be different from other people in the Great Yan Imperial Capital, but now it seems that I was wrong."

"The respect that envoys can receive comes from the dynasty behind you."

Li Yunqing snorted and squinted:

"Princess of the Kingdom of Sean, I will tell you a story, oh no, this is not a story, it is a fact that happened last year."

Ao Lunli Her dark eyebrows slightly frowned:

"Your Highness, please speak. I am listening."

Li Yunqing raised the fragrant tea in his hand slowly and methodically like raising a wine glass, and gently shook it under the illumination of the inscription lamp, and the light green tea rippled:

"In the northwest of my Great Yan is a place called the Great Desert, where there is a Tartar King's Court. The national strength is not too strong, but it should be stronger than the Japanese demons you are fighting now.

"And at the beginning of autumn last year, they sent a prince as an envoy to Di'an City."

When Xu Yuan heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped unconsciously, and Li Yunqing said with a hint of joking:

"When the prince stayed in Di'an City, he offended the son of an important official in our dynasty, and unfortunately, the son had a bad temper."

At this point, Li Yunqing paused and smiled, and asked Aolunli softly with a smile:

"Guess what happened in the end? "

" ". "Orenli frowned and didn't answer.

"Don't you want to guess? Then I'll tell you directly. "

Li Yunqing raised the porcelain cup in his hand to his lips and blew gently: "The prince was killed directly, and the son of the important minister is just like me now."

After speaking,

Li Yunqing drank the fragrant tea in the cup and grinned:

"Three cups as punishment."

The negotiations tonight ended unhappily.

Li Yunqing's words were already a naked threat and a humiliation to the Sean royal family.

Orenli left, leaving this private room with the tin can named Huron.

For a moment, there was silence in the wing room.

After a long silence, Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing and stood up on his knees.

Seeing this, Li Yunqing glanced at him and said in a slightly surprised voice:

"Why, you are leaving too? "

Xu Yuan shook his head and walked towards the balcony of the wing room:

"Go and get some cool air."

"Heh."

Li Yunqing chuckled and ignored it, sitting on the soft futon and drinking by himself.

Coming to the balcony of the wing room, the cold wind of the winter night was negative. Xu Yuan glanced at the lights of thousands of houses under the moonlight of Di'an below and asked faintly:

"What do you want to do?"

Li Yunqing put down the teacup, looked at Xu Yuan's back standing on the balcony, and smiled leisurely:

"Negotiation is like pursuing a fairy who is not in the world. You can't be impatient, and you can't express your feelings directly. You have to know how to pull back and forth, and go deeper little by little."

The moonlight was like a waterfall. Xu Yuan supported his hands on the wooden railing, turned his head halfway, and looked at Li Yunqing in the house. His pair of pale golden eyes were particularly deep under the moonlight:

"You know I'm not referring to this. When did your partner become the Kingdom of Sean? "

Li Yunqing paused, and smiled slightly surprised:

"Wow, why are you using your skills? I don't remember any skills in this world that can detect lies or hear other people's thoughts."

"I'm not using my skills against you."

Xu Yuan turned his eyes away and replied calmly: "Why are you doing this?"

"Of course, it's to gain more benefits."

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe."

Li Yunqing chuckled, stood up from the heavy tea table that was more than a meter long, and walked slowly towards Xu Yuan:

"My brother reported to my father, so that I could have a chance to go to Japan, but unfortunately, except for a title, my father gave me very little support. "

While speaking, Li Yunqing had already come to Xu Yuan and stood still, leaning against the wooden railing, looking up slightly at the dark sky, and said in a faint tone:

"What can I do with the five hundred thousand taels of military equipment and four songs of imperial guards? I thought I could at least get a battalion of horses."

Xu Yuan understood instantly after hearing this:

"Can't you pull your hands away?"

"Yes, the war in the north is enough to give my father a headache. I don't know if I can live with this little bit of property. I escaped from one pit and jumped into another pit. "

"There are always benefits. This trip to Japan is like a trapped dragon entering the sea, isn't it?"

"Wow, do you trust me so much?"

Li Yunqing turned his head and curled the corners of his lips: "But you are right. Compared with being in Di'an City, I can really let go of my hands and feet after going to Japan. "

Xu Yuan also smiled when he heard this, staring into Li Yunqing's eyes:

"Then I wish you success in your plan."

Li Yunqing lowered his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little serious:

"It's hard to say whether it will succeed. My father gave me too little, and the Sean Dynasty on the sea is not weak. Even if everything goes well, it will probably fail."

Xu Yuan was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Aren't you so afraid of death? Since the risk is so great, why do you insist on going there?"

"Because there, I can control my own life."

"What?" Xu Yuan.

Li Yunqing leaned against the wooden railing and said with a leisurely smile:

"In Di'an City, my life or death does not depend on me personally. All the efforts I have made may be turned into a torch because of other people's thoughts. Just like my royal brother, who has worked hard for dozens of years. The young prince ended up in my father’s thoughts.”

Speaking of which,

Li Yunqing raised his hand towards the dark sky and shook it hard:

"As long as I go to Japan, no matter how difficult it is, my life, Li Yunqing, is still in my own hands."

"."Xu Yuan.

After staring blankly at Li Yunqing for a few breaths, Xu Yuan chuckled, shook his head, and said faintly:

"As a friend, I, Xu Changtian, can assure you that if you fail, I will..."

"Help me take revenge?"

"Go and put incense on your grave."

"."

Li Yunqing's expression froze, but then he nodded with a chuckle, turned around, looked at the full moon, and said with a smile:

"Just adding incense is not enough, you have to bring some wine, and at least a spirit wine worth ten thousand taels of silver."

"You are quite greedy, but I agree."

Xu Yuan sarcastically asked, "But if you really plan to cooperate with Sean, why did you use what I did last year to stimulate that woman just now?"

Li Yunqing did not hide anything and replied:

"For information, it can also be regarded as finding a way for me to survive if I fail in the future."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan.

Li Yunqing smiled slightly and whispered:

"Although the big-breasted golden retriever princess is very honest, my royal family's shadow guards have caught their spies in many places."

Speaking of this, Li Yunqing grinned: "Thanks to the special looks of these blond foreigners, I can almost catch them all right."

Xu Yuan chuckled with unknown meaning:

"Hey, spying on the national strength of our Great Yan Dynasty, but this kind of thing shouldn't be hidden for long."

The Great Yan is too big and the coastline is too long. There will always be some people who will trade with those people for profit.

Li Yunqing nodded lightly:

"So I revealed something to them at this time. This was my first sincerity in cooperating with them, and it was also a bait."

"Until now, we have only a partial understanding of the Kingdom of Xien from the sea. We don't know their cultivation system, let alone how much energy the country behind them has. In this regard, they have more advantages than us. Too big an advantage.”

Xu Yuan listened to these words, thought for a moment, then realized something and asked:

"Are you trying to judge the strength of the Kingdom of Xi'en through the direction of the war in Japan?"

"It's easy to understand. He is indeed my king's confidant."

Li Junqing gave Xu Yuan a thumbs up, stroked his sleeves, and said with a smile: "In the initial raid, the Japanese in the north were beaten to the point of abandoning their armor. Later, several of the biggest daimyo led a coalition to form a coalition. After that, the battle line was barely maintained, but it was still being pushed forward by the Xi'an Kingdom, and it was not until the Nawangtu River area that it was able to hold on due to favorable geographical conditions. "

Xu Yuan touched his chin and asked with a smile:

"But I remember that you said before that it was the Japanese people who had their own clever plan."

"I don't deny this."

Li Yunqing smiled naturally and said: "At least, that was the case at first."

Speaking of this, Li Yunqing changed the topic and his eyes became a little gloomy:

"But Changtian, you have to know that the war there has been going on for more than a year now."

"You mean the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Xien have arrived?"

"There is no relevant intelligence to confirm this, but this is my judgment."

"reason."

"I have a fat sheep in Japan. Well, a partner told me that they need ordnance to organize a counterattack. The ordnance demand is even as high as nearly ten million taels of silver. However, I sent a message to ask for follow-up, but nothing happened. to the sea.”

"In other words, the Japanese counterattack has no effect?" Xu Yuan asked thoughtfully.

Li Yunqing nodded and spoke solemnly:

"Yes, Changtian, you have seen real battlefields in the northern border. Would this happen if the military strength of both sides was equal?"

"."

The words fell into silence, and Xu Yuan did not respond.

Because the answer is no.

The wars of this era are not like the saturated fronts of previous generations. Every inch of land on thousands of miles of fronts is manned and garrisoned.

There are huge gaps in the defense line in the vast land. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded and surrounded. The battlefield situation can be said to be changing rapidly.

Just like the Barbarian King did when he attacked Beifeng City around the back.

That is to say

"Is the Kingdom of Xien deliberately conserving its strength and retaining the Japanese?"

"uncertain."

Li Junqing smiled and denied Xu Yuan's question, and said softly: "Based on the current information, I conclude that even after more than a year of war, the strength of the Xien people on Japan Island should have surpassed that of the Japanese." There are few, but there is a high probability that they will not be able to completely end the war in a short time.”

Xu Yuan looked at the people coming and going on the flowery street below:

"In other words, the Kingdom of Xien is waiting to see my attitude, Dayan?"

"It can be said to be wait-and-see, or it can be said to be paralyzed."

"."

After a brief conversation with Li Yunqing, Xu Yuan probably figured out the general situation in Japan.

The Kingdom of Nasien invaded Japan with overwhelming momentum. While they were happily waiting for the reinforcements to completely occupy the island country, they suddenly found a huge monster lying next to them, silently staring at them.

Big eyes and small eyes.

so awkward.

It doesn’t matter if you fight, it doesn’t matter if you don’t fight.

After all, Dayan is very close to Japan.

If we don't fight, there are already sunk costs. All the previous efforts will be in vain, and we will not be able to account for it at home.

But if they continue to fight, if they advance too fast and the Great Yan Dynasty is alerted and directly push them into the sea, the losses will be even greater.

They even have to consider whether this contact will cause this giant beast to peek at their homeland.

Under all kinds of observations, the person in charge of the Xi'en royal family in Japan made a delaying strategy.

Wait until everything is investigated clearly before making plans.

Now that Li Yunqing has informed Aulunli of part of Dayan's national strength, the news will inevitably make the other side even more wary when the news is spread back to Japan Island.

It's just this delay

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at the north and sighed softly:

"If the Xi'an Kingdom had come a few decades later, everything would have been much easier to deal with."

"really."

Li Yunqing nodded and said with a smile: "The current situation is a bit intimidating, with both sides afraid. If those Xien people fully understand the situation in my country, they will be able to let go of their hands completely." ”

Speaking of which,

Li Yunqing suddenly tilted his head and said with a smile:

"Changtian, you said earlier that you planned to sponsor me to go to Japan, can you tell me about it?"

Controlling the Royal Chamber of Commerce for many years has indeed allowed him to make a lot of money and have a large treasury, but if he wants to implement his plan on Japan Island, it is still far from enough.

Xu Yuan glanced at him and shook his head gently:

"After what you said, I changed my mind."

When Li Yunqing heard this, his face darkened and he said in a deep voice:

"Xu Changtian, what you did is a bit unkind. I have told you everything I know!"

Xu Yuan glanced at him coldly and whispered:

"Why are you anxious? It's not like I said I won't invest in you."

"Um?"

With a slight doubt, Li Yunqing laughed as if his face changed, licked his face and came closer:

"Hey, Yunqing, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone, brother."

"."

Xu Yuan's eyes twitched and he silently moved a step to the left.

When Li Yunqing saw this, he didn't look out. He also took a step to the left and rubbed his hands:

"Changtian, how are you going to invest in me, my brother?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing and whispered two words:

"Borrowing troops."

Li Yunqing's pupils shrank, and then he frowned:

"Borrowing troops? The situation of your Prime Minister's Mansion should be no better than that of our royal family. The affairs in various places in Dayan alone are enough to give Mr. Prime Minister a headache. Where did you get the Black Scale Army to lend me?"

Xu Yuan looked towards the north and smiled softly:

"Who told you that the borrowed troops I talked about were to borrow the Black Scale Army to help you?

"Who told you that I don't have my own army?"
