Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Does Li Changshou have so many people?
For the time being, there really isn't one. Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is not as simple as the literal meaning. Even if the military salary he offers is attractive enough, the requirements are not low.

Since ancient times, the heroes of various dynasties, or separatist regimes, have claimed to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, but you can guess how much water is in it with your eyes closed.

Besides, it is not enough to have soldiers in ancient marches and wars. Is there any logistical support?
The so-called million-dollar army may only be 40 to [-] people who can really be pulled out to the battlefield. It is more about the logistics that exist to ensure marching and fighting, and it is hundreds of thousands of civilians!
Besides, what Li Changshou wants to build is an invincible lion, at least one against three or even one against ten, otherwise I'm sorry for his high salary.

"Since the two girls have been in Lin'an City for a while, they should know that Gu is not only the prince of the Daqian Dynasty, but also the emperor's own son, and also the envoy of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea. He can have [-] troops!"

Li Changshou didn't lose confidence at all because he didn't have soldiers at hand for the time being. On the contrary, he was full of confidence, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "And as a prince, with the title of prince alone, as long as he goes to the fief, he can justifiably have three thousand soldiers."

As soon as this remark came out, Isalina and Lilia both understood that the former was also from the royal family. Although the two empires were somewhat different, hearing this made her a little envious.

"His Royal Highness seems to be very important in the eyes of your emperor, and you also have such a large fiefdom, and legally own so many soldiers and horses."

Isalina is the princess of the empire, and of course the royal family of the Saint Britannia Empire is not the only princess like her.

She has other brothers and sisters, even if they all have titles, they also have their own fiefs and soldiers, but compared to what Li Changshou just said, she is too embarrassed to mention them.

"Princess, don't you have so much power in your own country?"

Li Changshou deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked a question back, and instantly turned Isalina's speechless little face slightly flushed with shame and envy.

Why would he ask such a question?
Since the historical direction of the Dagan Dynasty, including the previous dynasties in the Central Plains, is relatively close to the history he is familiar with.

Then he boldly guessed, what is the world Europa facing in this timeline?
A large-scale western expedition by a certain empire?

As for the nature of the big and small countries in Europa, he can guess with his eyes closed.

"It cannot be compared with your Royal Highness."

Isalina showed a wry smile. Saint Britannia only had a total of [-] troops. How could she have too many troops as a princess?
"Princess Isa originally had fiefdoms in three cities with a total of [-] soldiers, but now..."

Now?

Li Changshou naturally knew that the Secretary of the Imperial City had already investigated and found out that the two girls had fled to sea, and now there were only a hundred or so people around, which made people feel pitiful.

"Let's get back to the point, Her Royal Highness wants to go back to restore the country, I can understand."

Looking at the nervousness of the two women, Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table again and again, "But when you go to the country, you do as the Romans do. When you go to the Central Plains, many things cannot be treated according to your rules."

"Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is a serious crime in this dynasty. Once discovered, it will be regarded as treasonous and disobedient. The identity of Her Royal Highness is even more sensitive. Once the orphan father finds out about this matter, the greatest possibility is to send troops to destroy the princess. Your Highness is extremely obedient."

Was he alarmist?
No.

Isalina became anxious when she heard this, and Lilia also showed her momentum, "No one can hurt the princess!"

"Girl, you are very strong, but how many can you deal with?"

Li Changshou looked at the other party and asked with a smile of interest, but Lilia was extremely confident when she heard this, "I am the Twelve Knights of the Empire. As long as I have the holy sword in my hand, no matter how many people come here, they will not be able to hurt the princess!"

"What about 1 people?"

Lilia: "..."

"What about 5 people?" Li Changshou continued to ask.

Lilia: "..."

"What about 10 people?"

Li Changshou threatened again very intimately, "How many people can the girl kill with one sword?"

Grandmaster is powerful, but what makes Grandmaster so powerful is not in marching and fighting, but in beheading tactics and assassination!
Of course, maybe Europa's masters are different from those in the Central Plains, and they are suitable for marching and fighting. But don't forget, the generals of the Dagan Dynasty are not all useless, there are still some famous generals.

The key point is that the Dagan dynasty advocated force, and even many civil servants would practice martial arts for self-defense, let alone those generals in the army?

"Miss, do you know how big our Dagan dynasty is?"

From the reaction of the two women, it was clear that there was no concept at first glance, and there was a trace of embarrassment on their faces.

Seeing them like this, Li Changshou smiled, and then explained: "Gu is now the East China Sea Jiedu Envoy, in charge of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River. At least he can have [-] soldiers, and there are even [-] government soldiers."

"There are at least a dozen Jiedu envoys like Gu in this dynasty, and they have as few as 2 soldiers in their hands, and as many as nearly [-] soldiers!"

"In addition, there are [-] forbidden troops in the capital of this dynasty. It only takes an order from the lonely father to gather a million troops in the shortest possible time. Therefore, even if the girl has three heads and six arms, she has a holy sword. If she meets a million troops, she has a chance of winning. ?”

Repeatedly repeated half-truths and half-false threats, completely bluffed the two subjugated beauties who came from afar.

The little princess is obviously a mascot, she escaped from the subjugated country all the way, relying on the protection of the countess knight beside her.

When did you hear about the million-dollar army?

Even if they sold Saint Britannia, they would not be able to pull so many soldiers and horses.

"I understand what His Royal Highness means, we are too naive."

Isalina lowered her head and looked a little discouraged, "I hope to be forgiven by His Royal Highness..."

"Princess!"

"Lilia, it is true that we did something wrong, and the hope of restoring the country is very small. Even if we can regain a knight order, what will change when we go back?"

Unexpectedly, a few words would make the foreign princess so frustrated.

Li Changshou was not in a hurry to comfort her, but quietly watched the dispute between the two women. One was the subjugated princess, and in Europa, where blood was valued, it did represent orthodoxy.

And the beautiful countess obviously hasn't given up yet, "Princess, I am willing to swear on my honor as a knight, I will definitely go back!"

"You two girls, have you thought about how to go back?"

Li Changshou's timely opening made both women stunned.

"From the Central Plains to the country where you are, there are thousands of mountains and rivers that are not enough to describe. Have you ever thought that even if you can just turn a blind eye and let you recruit thousands of people, how can you return smoothly?"

The little princess was at a loss for this question, and she never thought about it.

On the contrary, the Countess replied directly after hearing this: "Go back by sea, if we can come here, we can go back."

"Going from the sea, how many people will be lost in the middle?"

Li Changshou smiled and asked back, the countess was at a loss for words, and Li Changshou continued to ask: "Let me guess, when you were in exile, there should be more than these people around you, all the way to Haikou, where you died at sea How many people died?"

Ocean shipping is no joke in this day and age, the sea is ruthless, let alone transporting people back, it is normal for thousands of people to die at sea.

"If you don't take the sea route, you have to cross most of the territory of the dynasty, go all the way to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor, and then cross the long deserted land of yellow sand. It may take several years to return to your homeland. How many people are there during the period? If you can persevere, have the two girls thought about it?"

Consider shit!

He figured it out, the little princess Isalina is a greenhouse flower, beautiful, pure, and kind.

And Countess Lilia is stubborn, although she is powerful, she also has no vision.

Maybe there is some ability to march and fight, but that's all...

"You didn't think about anything, and you actually thought about restoring the country?"

Faced with Li Changshou's ruthless ridicule, the little princess lowered her head. The countess wanted to refute and justify, but in the end she found that she couldn't say anything. She could overcome any difficulties by herself, but can others be like her?
"Your Highness, you said so much to persuade the princess to give up restoring the country?"

"Gu just analyzed the difficulties with you. As for the decision that Gu will not interfere, it is up to you to choose. But as long as you violate the laws of this dynasty, Gu will naturally not stand by."

In short, if you foreigners want to recruit soldiers and horses in the land of the Dagan Dynasty, that is a fool's dream.

Even if you have soldiers and horses, you can't go back.

"But His Royal Highness said just now that you have power and soldiers!"

The little princess is simply ignorant of world affairs, but the countess is obviously older and has already faintly understood, so she asked tentatively: "If you can get the help of His Royal Highness..."

They were already prepared to deal with the Daqian Dynasty officials, and even wanted to go to the capital to deal with the Daqian royal family.

It's just that in the past dynasties of the Central Plains, their attitudes towards foreigners and foreigners were extremely arrogant, and they had a kind of thinking that they were superior to the latter, and they were known as the kingdom of heaven.

Even though the Dagan Dynasty was the dynasty with the best and most kind attitude towards foreigners in the past dynasties, it was only limited to trade in private.

"Gu is indeed powerful and has soldiers and horses. He can even order craftsmen to build hundreds of sea ships, and he can also arrange customs clearance documents so that you can pass through the territory of the dynasty to the Hexi Corridor smoothly."

Li Changshou nodded, but before the two girls showed joy, he asked coldly, "Why did Ke Gu help you?"

"Gu is the prince of the Dagan Dynasty. Everything you do must be considered for the Dagan Dynasty. Help you restore the country and open the way for you. To Gu, what good will it do for my Dagan Dynasty?"

Between people, even pay attention to the exchange of interests, and only interests are the best bridge for friendship to last forever.

This is even more so between countries!
benefit?

Some hopes that Isalina had just ignited were instantly shattered.

Lilia hesitated to speak, but no matter how smart she was, she couldn't do anything, so she could only tentatively say: "On our side, we can use money to ask other countries to send troops to help."

"Really? But do you have enough money? Both of you should have experienced the wealth of the Dagan Dynasty, right?"

Of course they have felt it, and because of this, they feel helpless.

Li Changshou took advantage of the situation and asked casually: "Forget about money, I'm not short of money. For the sake of your exile and loneliness, I can accommodate you. Is there any other way to borrow troops between countries in your hometown besides money?" Friendship?"

other methods?

What did the two women think of? Although Europa is not a big place, there are many countries.

Santa Britannia is just one of them.

"Marriage!"

Lilia blurted out, and this was the answer Li Changshou wanted.

Marriage!

This is the old tradition of Europa. Although there are always many countries there, but if you inquire carefully, you will know that they are basically all kinds of close relatives and distant relatives, a big family!
"Oh? Marriage?"

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows deliberately to show surprise, and then frowned as if he was surprised by the result, but still didn't understand.

In fact, my heart is already smiling proudly!

He has no shortage of money, but he will definitely not refuse the marriage!
