Chapter 401 General Chen Tian
Zhao Ziyu's words made Lin Xiaofan feel nervous.
"Counsel Lin, there are four big countries around our Daqian, namely Tang, Dachu, Dayan, and Tianlang. Among them, the Tianlang Kingdom is located to the east of us and has 500,000 armor."
Lin Xiaofan listened carefully. He had read some of what Zhao Ziyu said in the book before, but not all.
“Normally speaking, these four big countries contain each other and have no time to deal with small countries like us, so we can survive.
Last year, the Sirius Kingdom and Dayan, located in the east of us, went to war, and in the end the Sirius Kingdom won a great victory. "
"The balance has been broken. After the battle of the Sirius Kingdom, they will use their manpower to annex small countries like us. And their method of annexation is to use the Great Jade Kingdom."
"Sirius Country provides weapons and armor to Dayu Country, and also provides manpower when necessary, while Dayu Country is responsible for conquests."
"In the past few months, Dayu has been annexing everywhere, and now it has captured two countries. There is still one country that is still resisting, but according to my guess, this country will also be destroyed in less than a month."
"When the time comes, they will point their fingers at us."
Zhao Ziyu said slowly.
Lin Xiaofan's expression became more and more serious.
If this matter is not handled well, Dagan will probably be destroyed. At that time, his foundation will also be lost.
And he still can't get away. Because other countries do not have wealthy families like the Zhao family and the Jian family to protect him, and he possesses many good things, he is likely to be spied on when he goes to other countries.
When the time comes, life or death will all depend on other people's faces.
As for surrendering to the Dayu Kingdom, first of all, he had a lot of grudges with the Dayu Chamber of Commerce. He was almost killed by the Dayu Chamber of Commerce in Lifeng Town before, so he had to avenge this.
Besides, if he takes refuge in Dayu Country, his life and death will all be in the hands of Dayu Country people, and his fate will not be much better when the time comes.
In other words, he must fight this battle and win it.
But in the case of Daqian Kingdom, the emperor is fatuous, has enemies on all sides, and there are many traitors within...
Against those hundred thousand jade soldiers and horses, as well as the Sirius Kingdom behind them, the chances of winning were slim.
"Daqianhuang doesn't know the situation?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
"He knows, but Daqian and Dayu have signed a non-aggression agreement before, and coupled with the slander from the Chen family and Zhang family ministers, Emperor Daqian is still unwilling to believe that Dayu will attack."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ziyu sighed.
This agreement is just Dayu's tactic to delay the war.
As long as there is a chance, Dayu will never show mercy.
But Emperor Daqian didn't know whether it was a fluke or not, but he actually believed in this covenant.
Moreover, if Dayu were to come aggressively, with Emperor Daqian’s temperament, he might surrender directly.
At that point, nothing they can do will help.
"This great emperor!"
Lin Xiaofan hammered the table.
If the Great Emperor does not change, it will not work even if he has the ability to reach heaven.
"Well, Counselor Lin, when it comes to marching and fighting, I am ashamed of myself, so we want to ask you if you have any plans."
Zhao Qiankun sighed.
Lin Xiaofan lowered his head and thought deeply. After a long time, he finally spoke:
"The situation is serious now. On the Yantian County side, Jian Bai has conquered those tribes, but Yantian County can only support ten thousand soldiers and horses at most."
"The Qingzhou Army must always be on guard against Dayu and Daliang's attacks. It will only be able to return 10,000 troops, and General Jianfeng cannot move yet."
"The 30,000 defenders in Canghai County are led by members of the Zhang family. The defenders in the east are led by members of the Chen family. They may not move."
After listening to Lin Xiaofan's analysis, Zhao Qiankun and Zhao Ziyu nodded slightly.
In other words, if they prepare for the worst, they will only have 30,000 to 40,000 men available for this battle.
"How many soldiers and horses does this Great Jade Kingdom have now?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
"According to our intelligence, there are 150,000 people in Dayu. When the war starts with us, there may be some reduction, but there will be at least 100,000."
Zhao Qiankun opened his mouth to answer.
Lin Xiaofan smiled bitterly, Da Gan was isolated and helpless, thirty thousand against one hundred thousand, as long as they were surrounded but not attacked, they would lose sooner or later.
Fortunately, in the past few months, the blacksmiths under him have been working hard on fine iron armor and weapons, and now they can make almost 10,000 sets.
When the war is about to begin, they can temporarily recruit an army of 10,000 people.
If we hold on tightly, the capital will definitely not fall.
"The outcome of a war has a lot to do with the king. If Emperor Daqian doesn't listen to me, then no matter how hard we fight, it will be useless."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Even if I can hold on to the attack, if Emperor Daqian surrenders directly, there will be no need to fight. And when the time comes, I will never end well."
After saying that, Lin Xiaofan said no more, but looked at the two of them.
The scene was silent for a long time before Zhao Qiankun spoke:
"Counsellor Lin, Emperor Daqian has been living in dissolute ways all year round. His health is getting worse and he is afraid that he will not have much time left. I think he won't be able to survive Dayu's attack."
"Prince Daqian is still young. Even if he inherits the throne, the power will be in the hands of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has some backbone and will fully cooperate with Counselor Lin when the time comes."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. Only when the problems on the royal family's side were resolved would they have some chance of winning.
"In this case, let's unite all the forces that can be united. Daliang, Dashang, Chen family, Zhang family, Dayu Kingdom, and other major families in the city will all send envoys there."
"We will use all means of coercion and inducement, as long as we can ensure that they remain neutral during this period. If we can win them over to fight against the enemy together, that would be the best."
"Clan Chief Zhao, think carefully about who in the city might become our strength."
When Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth, he already had many countermeasures in his mind, but he just didn't know if they would work.
"Obviously, the Zhao family and the Jian family are the largest families in the capital now, and most families are willing to listen to us. But after the fight, it is difficult to say. As for General Chen Tian of the Chen family, there is a slight possibility that among the eight major families, Win over.”
Zhao Ziyu thought for a while and said.
"Chen Tian has been guarding Dongfang for nearly ten years. He is an upright man. If the country is attacked by an enemy, he may come to help. Of course, he may also listen to the Chen family and not resist."
"Then find a way to win him over!"
Lin Xiaofan said.
If the 30,000 troops and horses guarding the east can be mobilized, then this battle will be much easier.
"We also tried, but after Chen Tian came to the capital, he never left the Chen family. We didn't even have a chance to see him."
Zhao Qiankun smiled bitterly.
Maybe Chen Tian himself is also very entangled in this matter. On one side is the country and on the other side is the family.
If they resist and Daqian is defeated, the Chen family will cease to exist. If you don't resist, your fate will be in the hands of others.
Speaking of the Chen family, Lin Xiaofan unconsciously thought of Chen Xue.
It has been more than ten days since the last separation, and there is no news from the other party. It seems that he is under house arrest by the Chen family.
But since Chen Tian is here, Chen Xue should be fine.
