Comprehensive martial arts: start with a fire dragon ball

Seeing the smile on Chu Wanxin's face, Li Jiancheng felt relieved.

What followed was a burst of joy.

Although he felt bad for sending "Chi County" away, in the current situation, if they could not get assistance from "Da Chu", it was unknown whether their "Li Tang" could continue to exist.

Compared with the huge "Li Tang", a mere "Red County" is completely insignificant.

Compared with the loss of sending "Chi County", in Li Jiancheng's view, successfully sending Li Xiuning to the Dachu Palace was enough to make up for this loss.

Speaking of which, there is more than one legitimate daughter of the Li family, Li Xiuning.

Moreover, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao of the Chai family had already made an engagement.

Logically speaking, even if she wanted to marry "Da Chu", it would not be Li Xiuning's.

The reason for the current result was, of course, caused by Li Jiancheng.

Who knows that Li Xiuning is not close to his eldest brother, but is more biased towards Li Shimin.

It was also because of Li Xiuning that the Chai family, a wealthy family, directly became Li Shimin's pocketbook and made great contributions to recruiting people for him and developing his power.

Now, Li Jiancheng wants to use this method to break off the feud between the Chai family and Li Shimin.

After all, they supported Li Shimin wholeheartedly, but in the end Li Shimin couldn't even protect their Chai family's daughter-in-law. How could the Chai family accept this?

And once the Chai family turns against Li Shimin, then Li Jiancheng will have the possibility to win the Chai family under his command.

Regardless of the reason why Li Xiuning married "Da Chu", Li Jiancheng was the culprit.

Logically speaking, the Chai family should hate him more than Li Shimin.

But many things cannot be simply distinguished between right and wrong, especially in politics.

First of all, the Chai family and Li Jiancheng were in two camps before, and it was completely normal for Li Jiancheng to plot against them.

The important thing is that in the end Li Jiancheng was superior and his plan succeeded.

Isn't the reason why the Chai family took refuge under Li Shimin and fully supported him for a bright future?
Now, Li Shimin can't even maintain the dignity of their Chai family.

Even if the Chai family doesn't care and continues to fully support Li Shimin, it all depends on whether Li Shimin can continue to believe that the Chai family really won't mind this matter as before.

In this way, the Chai family could only fall to Li Jiancheng's camp.

After all, the foundation of the Chai family is in "Li Tang", and it is impossible to abandon "Li Tang".

And among "Li Tang", only one of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can sit in that position.

In this way, apart from Li Jiancheng, if the Chai family does not want to be liquidated in the end, Li Jiancheng is the only choice.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng's plan can be called "killing three eagles with one stone". It not only received strong support from "Da Chu", but also weakened Li Shimin's strength and strengthened himself.

Of course, Li Jiancheng also understood that the success of his plan this time was inseparable from Li Yuan's acquiescence.

Without Li Yuan's consent, it would have been impossible for him to forcibly break off the engagement between Li Xiuning and Chai Shao, and instead send Li Xiuning to "Da Chu" for marriage.

As for why Li Yuan behaved like this, Li Jiancheng could also guess the reason.

It's just that they don't want to watch Li Shimin's power grow stronger.

After all, Li Yuan is now in his prime. He has only been emperor for a short time and has not had enough of it yet. How could he abdicate so early to make way for someone worthy of his throne?

Li Shimin's growing momentum in the army has forced Li Yuan to be on guard.But now, at the juncture of the war with "Qin", Li Yuan was reluctant to take action against Li Shimin, lest it affect the outcome of the battlefield.

In this way, Li Jiancheng's strategy of "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron" also hit Li Yuan's heart.

That's why he not only failed to stop Li Jiancheng's plan, but instead went along with it.

The father and son joined forces with a tacit understanding to trick Li Shimin.

………………

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Chu Wanxin summoned his ministers and began to discuss the appropriate number of troops to send.

The current "Da Chu", although the previous battle with the "Da Ming" did suffer heavy losses.

However, under the management of Chu Wanxin's "light corvee and low endowment" and the support of the huge granary of the Jiangnan Water Town, it has slowly regained its vitality and is even better than before.

At this time, each of the four great mythical beast legions of "Da Chu" had [-] combatable soldiers.

In addition, there are 24 "Black Flag Cavalry" and [-] naval "Sea Sharks", totaling about [-] troops.

At the same time, there are still [-] youth training troops undergoing militarized management so that the regular army can make up for its own shortcomings at any time.

For such a large shop, the amount of food and grass consumed every day is an astronomical amount.

If it weren't for Chu Wanxin's rich family background, he might not be able to support it long ago.

Now that they have finally encountered a "taken advantage of", Chu Wanxin and the others will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.

However, the naval force is not needed, and the "Black Flag Cavalry" is an ace force, so it is impossible to deploy too many.

After final discussion, Chu Wanxin decided to allocate half of the men and horses from each of the four mythical beast legions, plus a thousand "black flag cavalry" to form a hundred thousand army to support "Li Tang".

From now on, each legion will be allowed to change defenses every quarter.

In this way, it can not only greatly reduce "Da Chu's" expenditure on armaments, but also use "Li Tang's" money to train "Da Chu's" soldiers.

Finally, it can also allow "Great Chu" to familiarize itself with "Great Qin's" military fronts in advance, so as to prepare for a direct confrontation with "Great Qin" in the future.

It can be said that this is also a good thing for "Da Chu".

As the saying goes: Soldiers are more valuable than speed!
After formulating the plan, Chu Wanxin directly asked Qin Qiong to lead the troops and set off with an army of [-] to assist "Li Tang".

Faced with Chu Wanxin's decisiveness, "Li Tang" did not lose his temper.

Not only did it directly provide half a year's worth of food and grass for the [-] troops from "Da Chu" at once, it also took less than a month to complete the delivery of "Chi County".

While his men were busy taking over "Chi County", Chu Wanxin also saw Princess Pingyang - Li Xiuning, who was transported by "Li Tang".

Chu Wanxin was actually no stranger to Li Xiuning.

As early as when he took action to conquer Lu Miaozi and Pegasus Ranch, he had met Li Xiuning who had the same purpose.

However, compared with the heroic beauty in his memory, when they met this time, Chu Wanxin found that the person in front of her had an air of indifference, perseverance and a trace of confusion.

Obviously, the fact that her eldest brother and her old father teamed up to sell her made the "women-like" Princess Pingyang in front of her somewhat doubtful about her life.

Facing Li Xiuning's emotionless eyes, Chu Wanxin raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled nonchalantly. (End of chapter)
