Chapter 600 It’s better to die
"I'm here, please take a seat, sir."
Guan Rong hurriedly went over to take the wine jug and asked Gongzi Tian to pour the wine himself, as he did not have the face to do so.
Gongzi Tian did not refuse. The wine was poured out, and the aroma instantly filled the courtyard, cheering up the two men.
After swallowing a mouthful of wine, Gongzi Tian smacked his lips and then asked:
"Brother Guan, do you know how many troops the Daqian Kingdom has?"
"After several wars, the entire country's strength is only 60,000 people now." Guan Gui thought for a while and said.
"Brother Guan, do you know how many troops the Tianlang Kingdom has? And how many troops does the Da Qi have?" Gongzi Tian continued to ask.
"This... I don't know. But I heard that Tianlang Kingdom has 500,000 elite armored soldiers, and Da Qi has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses." Guan Gui answered honestly.
Gongzi Tian shook his head slightly and said, "About the same. The Tianlang Kingdom has 520,000 soldiers, and that's just on the surface. According to rumors, they also have 50,000 elite soldiers hidden, but they won't easily deploy them, so let's just count them as 500,000 soldiers."
"The whole country of Da Qi only has over 300,000 soldiers and horses."
Speaking of this, Gongzi Tian frowned.
He remembered that when he was a child, the difference in military strength between the two countries was not big, and the battles were fought back and forth. Later, the two old generals died, and the generals of the Great Qi had no successors, and they were defeated repeatedly, which led to the current situation.
"Although the Tianlang Kingdom has defeated our Great Qi Kingdom on the surface, we are only surrendering verbally. We will launch a counterattack if we get the chance. Therefore, if the Tianlang Kingdom goes to war, at least 200,000 soldiers must be left to defend our Great Qi Kingdom."
"Even if they try their best, they can only mobilize 300,000 troops to deal with Daqian. With the 50,000 sets of armor, Daqian has the equivalent of 100,000 troops. If Tianlang Country goes to war with all its strength, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by, and the troops in the south will also rush to support Daqian."
"Daqian has strong generals like Lin Xiaofan, Jian Feng, and Jian Bai. The possibility of Tianlang conquering Daqian is only 50%. If they lose, Datang and Daqi will send troops to deal with Tianlang. By then, Tianlang will be in danger."
Gongzi Tian spoke eloquently, Guan Gui nodded slightly, and immediately understood the truth. Tianlang Country would never take such a big risk to attack Daqian. In other words, Daqian is now safe.
"Now I understand what you said, sir. Although the Tianlang Kingdom is strong, it does not dare to send out a large number of troops. That would be too risky." Guan Gui said.
"That's true. In fact, it's not just the Tianlang Nation, the other countries are the same. If you try your best to destroy a country, you will also be seriously injured. If you can't resist the attacks of other countries, you will also be gradually eroded. Similarly, if a country is too powerful, it will also be suppressed by the other three countries."
"Over the years, small countries have been constantly changing, but the four major countries have not changed for hundreds of years." Gongzi Tian said.
Before long, the pot of wine was almost finished.
"Oh, I have some good news to tell you. The Great Emperor of Qi has replied. Pack up and we will set off for Lezhou tomorrow."
"Thank you for your help, sir."
Guan Gui was delighted and bowed quickly.
"Hey, the alliance between the two countries is also helping Qi."
Gongzi Tian waved his hand.
"But there is still one thing I don't understand." Guan Gui took the last sip of wine, frowned slightly, and then said: "It's difficult for Tianlang Country to deal with Daqian, why would it send troops to provoke Datang?"
The reason why the Tang Dynasty declared war on Tianlang was because Tianlang launched a surprise attack on the Tang Dynasty.
"This..." Gongzi Tian was speechless after hearing this.
Yes, the king of Tianlang is a shrewd king. Daqi has not been dealt with yet, so why would he provoke Datang? Datang has 600,000 soldiers, more than Tianlang, and many generals gather in the country. Tianlang cannot provoke them.
After thinking for a long time, Gongzi Tian still couldn't figure it out, so he said, "It is indeed a problem. I will ask my brother after I enter the capital."
……
Daqian, Canghai County, Da County, Dacheng.
In the past six months, this place has experienced countless baptisms by officers and soldiers, and has become much more peaceful. Only three of the nine major gangs in the city remain, and most of the killer gangs have been killed or injured. There will no longer be inexplicable corpses on the streets.
As for the reason, it was mainly because several Tang envoys were killed in Daqian, and the emperor was furious and demanded that the matter be investigated. As Dacheng was the most chaotic place in Daqian, it was naturally targeted.
After five baptisms, the original major gangs in Dacheng could not withstand them no matter how monstrous their means were, and now they are almost struggling to survive.
Fortunately, Daqian and Datang finally formed an alliance, and no major disaster occurred. The emperor was no longer chasing after them. When the officers and soldiers saw that they could not find the real reason, they found a few scapegoats to take the blame. Only then did the city calm down.
It was still the same inconspicuous little house, but Qing Ziqing looked thinner than a few months ago, and half of his hair had turned white.
Because the mastermind behind the assassination of Dongfang Tianming was the "cousin" Ling next to him.
Every time he heard footsteps on the street or screams somewhere in the city, it was a heavy blow to his heart.
During this period, he even thought about committing suicide, but in the end his fear of death outweighed his fear.
Now this storm is over, but his storm is far from over. This old man named Ling, who has no idea what grudge he has against Lin Xiaofan, is determined to kill him.
If time could go back, he would never write that letter to Uncle Bai for help, and he would never consider seeking revenge on Lin Xiaofan. He would rather live in this Dacheng with his guards for the rest of his life, even if he died here.
At this time, Ling was holding a letter in her hand, and her face was wrinkled.
"Uncle, is Lin Xiaofan being taken out on?" Qing Ziqing asked tentatively.
It was too late to regret. He was now completely tied to Ling and had to cooperate with him in order to have a chance to survive.
"Read it yourself." Ling handed the letter in his hand to Qing Ziqing.
[Lin Xiaofan went on a diplomatic mission to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty and Daqian formed an alliance, opened up more trade, and gave Daqian 50,000 sets of armor.]
Just a short line of words made Qing Ziqing's arms tremble slightly.
In other words, all the grievances he suffered in the past few months were in vain?
Thinking of this, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went dark, with only one thought left in his mind.
I might as well die.
"Don't worry, Lin Xiaofan was lucky this time, but it may not be the same next time. As long as you cooperate well, we will definitely help you avenge the extermination of your clan."
As Ling's fingers moved, they poked at several of Qing Ziqing's acupuncture points to prevent him from dying instantly.
Qing Ziqing is a good shield. Pushing him out at the critical moment can also ensure that the organization is not exposed.
After all, he had a motive to deal with Lin Xiaofan. As for his ability, he could easily fake a group of subordinates for him, just like he did now.
I have to say that Ling's trick was very effective. Qing Ziqing only felt pain in several parts of his body, and his breath came back.
Qing Ziqing almost collapsed. Next time? If he was tortured again, he would be gone.
