One Dali is already enough of a headache.
Li Chao may not be an opponent.
Now, the Vientiane Kingdom has also gotten involved, which is obviously wrong.
Lin Bai wanted to scold her and asked, "What's going on?"
The Feilong guard said quickly: "The specific situation cannot be determined for the time being, but there are spies among the Wanxiang Kingdom's army, and they are suspected to have discovered traces of Prince Zhenbei."
"It is very possible that Prince Zhenbei did not return to Dali, but went to Wanxiang Kingdom."
Good guy!
Everyone's expressions changed.
Yang Shaoying was no exception. He was relatively calm before and had seen strong winds and waves, but now he couldn't sit still.
He quickly asked: "Where are they now?"
The Feilong Guard glanced at Lin Bai first, and then said: "According to their current marching speed, they can arrive in less than two days."
What a speed!
Lin Bai quickly took out the Kanyu map and determined the march route of the Wanxiang Kingdom's army.
Yang Shaoying said: "There are troops stationed here in Sichuan and Shu, but there are not many. If we want to stop them, we will probably need the troops from Guinan and Xiangxi."
Again, there are not many soldiers stationed in the southwest for fear of resistance from the southwest chieftains.
If it was just Dali, with the strength of the southwest battlefield, and the strength of the southwest governor who controls the three provinces, he wouldn't be afraid.
But now that Wanxiang Kingdom has also joined in, it is obviously different.
Yang Shaoying said: "The top priority is to have the Southwest Governor intercept the Wanxiang Kingdom's army, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
Lin Bai asked, "Is it enough?"
As far as he knew, the Southwest Governor did not have many soldiers, and the full force would not exceed 30,000.
The most important point is that these troops are distributed in three provinces, and it is impossible to mobilize them in a short time. It takes time.
As for the deployment of troops from other places, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness.
Yang Shaoying paused and said: "The Wanxiang Kingdom itself is not too strong. In my estimation, there is a high probability that they just want to get a share of the pie, and they may not be serious about it..."
The integration of the southwest has a greater impact on Dali. Relatively speaking, Wanxiang Kingdom is closer to Sichuan and Shu.
The dispatch of troops this time was probably persuaded by Duan Weifeng and promised some benefits.
Anyway, they are all experienced people, so they will do it if it is beneficial.
It is obviously impossible to fight for others with bayonets.
"So, as long as we can hold them back and barely deal with them, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Yang Shaoying said, "But the premise is that you can delay it and give them a start. If you can't delay it and are defeated by them all at once, then..."
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was clear.
If Sichuan and Sichuan can provide more strength, Wanxiang Kingdom will naturally be wary of the situation and act more conservatively.
On the contrary, morale has been greatly boosted, and with Dali's army, it can be imagined.
To put it bluntly, what matters in war is morale.
But based on the small number of troops in Sichuan and Shu, as well as their combat power, Yang Shaoying was obviously not optimistic.
Lin Bai thought for a while and said: "Send an order to General Zhao and ask him to immediately turn around to support Sichuan and Shu. In addition, ask Admiral Guinan to go immediately to support."
Although Zhao Qianjun's three thousand troops were not many, they were all equipped with Zhuge Liannu.
And they are all elites with extraordinary combat power.
Coupled with the military strength of Sichuan and Shu, as well as the military strength of Guinan, it should be enough to deal with Wanxiang Kingdom.
To put it bluntly, if Zhao Qianjun's three thousand troops can't deal with it, then it will be in vain for others to go.
Yang Shaoying nodded, "This arrangement is fine, but Jiang Hailiu..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
There was obvious doubt in his words.
Lin Bai said: "I understand, but in the current situation, he doesn't dare to do anything. At most, he can only show off by doing his work without putting in any effort."
"And this is enough."
Lin Bai believed in Yang Shaoying's judgment. Most of the Wanxiang Kingdom also had the attitude of coming to see it. If there is any benefit, just make a profit. If there is no benefit, let's talk about it.
To put it simply, he is a bastard.
Jiang Hailiu didn't dare to resist the order, and at best he was a bastard.
When fighting a gangster against a gangster, military force can act as a deterrent.
The ones who can really bring power to Wanxiang Kingdom are undoubtedly the three thousand soldiers of Zhao Qianjun.
Yang Shaoying nodded subconsciously.
Song Qianqian looked worried, "Husband, if they all go to deal with Wanxiang Kingdom, what will happen to the southwest battlefield?"
Compared with Vientiane Kingdom, Dali is undoubtedly the most troublesome.
Thirty thousand troops, plus three thousand tiger and wolf troops.
Zhu Tong's 15,000 troops must be enough.
However, the talented man was not too worried. From Lao Zhu's secret order, he already knew that the southwest battlefield was also equipped with a batch of Zhuge Liannu. The exact number was unknown, but it should be quite a lot.
Obviously, Lao Zhu has been waiting for this day for a long time.
And with Zhuge Liannu's blessing, it shouldn't be difficult to hold the pass. If you want to defeat him, it depends on your fate.
At least the disparity in military strength is too great.
To make up for this, there is only one way right now, borrow troops!
Lin Bai paused, "Immediately summon all the chieftains to discuss the invasion of Dali."
"yes!"
Even though two Feilong guards retreated.
Yang Shaoying's eyes brightened slightly, obviously understanding Lin Bai's intention.
Song Qianqian did the same and said, "Husband, do you want the major chieftains in the southwest to send troops?"
"good!"
Lin Bai said, "It's their turn to contribute. The imperial court is vigorously developing the southwest. Now that the southwest is facing a crisis, it is their duty to do so."
…
"What?"
"Wanxiang Kingdom also has a large army approaching the border? I ordered my officer to stop it?"
Admiral Yamen.
Jiang Hailiu had received the order, his eyes flickering.
He had already expected this day when Dali invaded, and was still thinking about how to deal with it then.
Unexpectedly, Lin Bai did not ask him to go to the southwest battlefield, but to intercept the Wanxiang Kingdom's army.
The Vientiane Kingdom actually got involved, which was undoubtedly beyond his expectation.
Xu Yihong also frowned. One Dali had already made Southwest extremely passive. Now that Wanxiang Kingdom is attacking, the situation suddenly becomes even worse.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Hailiu asked.
Xu Yihong paused, "I have to obey the orders of the Southwest Special Envoy."
Jiang Hailiu glanced at him and smiled, "Yes, I think so too. The Wanxiang Kingdom is probably here to join in the fun and help Dali contain some of its troops. It is perfect for Lin Qingfeng to ask me to go here."
As the Admiral of Guinan, he undoubtedly has a better understanding of the surrounding forces.
He could probably guess the purpose of Wanxiang Kingdom's visit.
Going here is also one of the best choices.
Because there is a high probability that he only needs to work, not any effort, and the two sides will go through the motions, which is exactly what he wants.
Xu Yihong said: "Indeed! However, this also proves that Lin Qingfeng is wary of us."
Jiang Hailiu snorted, "So what, do you want those chieftains to send troops? I want to see how capable he is. None of those chieftains are good. It doesn't matter if we make money together, but you want them to contribute? It's not that simple."
"Let's wait and see! If he can't borrow soldiers, let's see how he ends up."
…
