"Dad, what do you mean?"
Young Master Liu took back the bamboo pole that was wandering on the map, and looked back at Liu Chengfeng with an indifferent expression.
"Chengfeng, do you believe it or not? As a father, I am giving an order now.
In less than three months, Dalong's six new army guards, six guards from Northern Xinjiang, twelve guards from Beifu, and twelve troops from Xinfu will be assembled at Dalong's border. "
Listening to Young Master Liu's confident tone, Liu Chengfeng's face changed slightly, and he said with an expression of surprise: "What? In less than three months, our Dalong troops will be assembled?" "
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengfeng's surprised expression and gently tapped his knees a few times with the bamboo pole.
"It will only be faster, and it will definitely not take more than three months."
Listening to Young Master Liu's affirmative tone, Liu Chengfeng frowned in silence for a moment, his face full of doubts.
"Dad, how is this possible?
Boy, I have made rough calculations several times based on where our Dalong troops are currently stationed.
Based on the distance between where the various troops are currently stationed and our Dalong border, it is simply impossible for them all to rush to the border to assemble within three months.
Of course, if all the soldiers and horses you plan to mobilize are cavalry, it is indeed possible.
However, as far as the child knows, a few years ago, your father ordered Uncle Zhang Kuang and Uncle Nangong to command 400,000 elite men to attack the two barbarian countries of Tianzhu, which were thousands of miles away.
The remaining cavalry of our Dalong troops is about 200,000 strong.
Dad, if you want to send troops to conquer Russia, you can't possibly mobilize all the cavalry at once, right?
Furthermore, after our dragon soldiers and horses enter the territory of Tsarist Russia, they will definitely carry out an attack on the city.
Dad, you are definitely not going to let the cavalry soldiers attack the city, right?
In this case, dad, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, you must mobilize at least half of the infantry.
At the marching speed of infantry, if all the soldiers and horses wanted to rush to the border to gather within three months, they would have to stay awake for three months.
It seems impossible to keep all the troops awake for three months.
No, it should be absolutely impossible. "
After listening to the eldest son's well-founded analysis, Mr. Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the teacup on the side, and drank the remaining tea in Beizhong in one breath.
Immediately, he turned around and gestured to Wenren Yunshu, who was nearest to him.
"Shu'er."
"I'm here."
"Give me a cup of tea for my husband."
"Hey, I know."
Wenren Yunshu walked up to Mr. Liu with gentle steps, reached out to take the teacup in his hand, turned and walked towards the table a few steps away.
Young Master Liu chewed the tea leaves between his teeth, smiled slightly and moved his eyes to Qinglian.
"Lian'er."
Qinglian hurriedly took two steps forward and gently bowed to Liu Dashaofu.
"I am here, husband, what are your orders?"
Looking at the puzzled expression on the pretty face of the beauty, Liu Mingzhi wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and casually pursed his lips at Liu Chengfeng who was kneeling on the ground.
"Lian'er, you saw it, this is the useless son you mentioned.
The pros and cons of the current situation are clearly analyzed. The weather, location, and people are all clear and logical.
Not to mention just some of his peers in the capital, even some veterans who have been on the battlefield may not have his vision.
Not a tool, not a tool.
Hahaha, hahaha, what a useless person!
Lian'er, Lian'er, if he is still called incompetent like this, then are there any capable people in this world? "
Qinglian noticed her husband's slightly thoughtful eyes and turned to look at her son who was kneeling on the ground. Her pretty face suddenly became complicated.
"Husband, what I'm talking about is..."
Young Master Liu directly raised his hand to signal and interrupted Qinglian's words.
"Lian'er."
Qinglian paused, then watched Young Master Liu nodding his head and replied softly: "Hey, I'm here."
Wenren Yunshu returned to Young Master Liu with a gentle step, and handed over the tea cup in Yu's hand with a slight smile.
"Husband, tea."
Young Master Liu chuckled and nodded, then casually took the tea from the beauty's hand.
"OK."
Wenren Yunshu nodded slightly and retreated directly to the sisters and stopped.
Young Master Liu nodded and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, then pointed at his desk.
"Lian'er, go and get the blank document with a stack of rice paper in the drawer on the left side of the desk for my husband."
Qinglian tapped her head a few times and immediately turned around and walked towards Young Master Liu's desk.
"Hey, I know."
Young Master Liu inserted the bamboo pole in his hand on the sand table, holding a teacup and hovering gently in front of the beauties.
"Ride the wind."
"The child is here."
"My child, you have been too addicted to the gentle land during this year.
Haven't you noticed until now that since the New Year, the garrison locations of our Dalong troops have already changed? "
Liu Chengfeng's body was shaken, and he looked up at Young Master Liu in shock.
"What?"
Mr. Liu gently stroked the lid of the tea in his hand, turned his head slightly and glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, judging from your reaction now, it seems that you really don't know these things."
After hearing Young Master Liu's words, Liu Chengfeng's body trembled violently as if struck by lightning.
After being silent for a long time with a complicated look on his face, a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.
After thinking for a long time, he already understood.
"Dad, our Dalong troops will have changed their camps after the new year.
This means that you have already had the idea of sending troops to conquer Russia.
However, you have only recently settled on this idea.
Dad, your guess must be correct, right? "
Young Master Liu glanced down at Liu Chengfeng, chuckled and nodded.
"Sure enough, you are still very smart."
Liu Chengfeng took a long breath and asked again: "Dad, since you have prepared all the troops and horses.
Thinking about it, you should have made arrangements for the food and fodder matters, right? "
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, nodded and took a sip of tea.
"What do you think?"
When Liu Chengfeng heard his father's rhetorical question, he frowned and thought to himself.
Qinglian turned back with light steps, and handed a stack of rice paper documents to Young Master Liu in her hands.
"Husband, is this the document you are talking about?"
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and nodded, casually taking the document handed over by the beauty into his hand.
"Yes, it's this one."
"That's good, that's good."
While Young Master Liu and Qinglian were talking, Liu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and looked at the cutie kneeling beside him.
"Sister Yue'er."
The little cutie was quietly picking at her nails with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered. When she heard Liu Chengfeng calling her, she immediately raised her jade neck.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Sister Yue'er, there are eleven state capitals under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou and Yingzhou in Northern Xinjiang, and there are fourteen state capitals under the jurisdiction of Songzhou, Daizhou and Jinzhou in Beijiang.
There are also eight large and small tribes under the rule of Dulu tribe and Huyan tribe in Xinfu.
Have these large and small state capitals and tribes not paid taxes to the national treasury since October last year? "
Hearing Liu Chengfeng's question, the cutie frowned and thought for a while, then nodded gently.
"I remember it looked like this.
At that time, Sister Yiyi and Second Brother reported the matter to Mr. Jiang, the Minister of Household Affairs, to the Palace of Ten Kings, and asked him carefully about this situation.
As for what they talked about, Yue'er didn't know.
However, since then, sister Yiyi and second brother seem to have never mentioned this matter again.
Yue'er thought that sister Yiyi and her second brother had settled the matter, so she stopped paying attention to it.
Later, it was nothing more. "
Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and nodded, looking up at Young Master Liu with a sad expression.
“Dad, it’s been about ten months since October last year.
The two dozen large and small prefectures in Dalong Neifu and Beifu, plus the eight large and small tribes in Xinfu, together with ten months of taxes, can support at least 300,000 troops for a year. .
If the people's harvest is good, it will not be a problem to support it for a year and two months or a year and a half.
Mobilize 300,000 to 400,000 elite soldiers and support them with food and grass for a year or a year and a half.
Boy, I really can’t imagine what kind of method the Tsarist Russia can use to stop the front of our dragon cavalry. "
Young Master Liu took a sip of tea and looked at Liu Chengfeng with a faint smile.
"Now, you understand?"
Liu Chengfeng nodded dejectedly and sneered a few times with a sigh on his face.
"Hehehe, hehehe, I understand, I completely understand.
Dad, you made this move really early! "
Mr. Liu turned his head and spit out the tea stem on the tip of his tongue, and took a long breath with a sad look on his face.
“Son, as a father, I don’t want this either.
However, as a father, I prefer to be proactive rather than passive. "
"Dad, my child has something to say, do you know whether to say it or not?"
"But it doesn't matter."
"Dad, my child's knees are hurting a little bit."
"Whether you stand up or sit on the floor, you decide for yourself."
"Thank you dad."
Liu Chengfeng thanked him, tapped his calf a few times, and sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, the little cutie immediately raised her snow-white neck pitifully and looked at Young Master Liu.
"Good daddy."
"Stinky girl, you can do whatever you want."
"Yeah, yeah, thank you, daddy, you're so kind."
Just as the little cutie was about to get up, her delicate body suddenly softened and she collapsed directly on the ground.
"Hey, brother, please help me quickly. My feet are numb. My feet are numb."
Liu Chengfeng looked stunned. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly stretched out his hand to support the little cutie's white and flawless arms.
"Little sister, please spread your legs a little bit, and you'll be fine after a while."
"Ouch, okay, okay."
After Liu Chengfeng saw the little cutie sitting down, he looked up at Young Master Liu and let out a sigh of relief with a complicated expression.
“Dad, if it doesn’t happen, I won’t expect it.
You have already started playing this big chess game since the day I went as ambassador to Tsarist Russia, right? "
"Of course."
Regarding the issue of the eldest son, Liu Mingzhi was happy. He did not deliberately hide anything, but admitted it directly.
Liu Chengfeng's face was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He never expected that his father would answer so directly.
Immediately, he turned his head and looked out the window of the study, looking towards the courtyard where he lived.
Soon.
Liu Chengfeng withdrew his gaze and sighed with a lonely expression.
"well."
"Dad, can it be that we, Dalong, and Tsarist Russia really can't live in peace with each other?"
Young Master Liu paused and handed the teacup in front of Xue Bizhu.
"Bizhu."
"Why."
Xue Bizhu responded sweetly and hurriedly took the tea cup into her hand.
Young Master Liu raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks. He casually picked up a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the table next to him. He looked at Liu Chengfeng and said softly: "About this issue, you should have already made up your mind." It’s only right that we already have the answer.”
After Mr. Liu said these words, he seemed to have expressed his thoughts.
"Dad, baby... baby..."
"No need to hesitate, just say what you want to say."
Liu Chengfeng took a few deep breaths and suppressed his turbulent heart.
"Dad, I'll nag you again, kid, and I hope you won't leave Yang Fan.
I am the eldest prince of our Dalong Dynasty, and I am also your wife’s husband.
The child's wife is also one of your daughters-in-law.
The child of our couple is also your grandson.
In this way, there is an inextricable family relationship between us.
Dad, under this kind of relationship, it is entirely possible for our Dalong Dynasty and Tsarist Russia to become allies that help each other. "
"ally?"
"Yes, we dragons can definitely become allies."
Young Master Liu frowned and looked at Liu Chengfeng thoughtfully.
"Is this what you mean, or what this girl Serena means?"
Liu Chengfeng suddenly became excited when he heard Young Master Liu's question.
Judging from his father's tone, he vaguely felt that this topic seemed to be able to continue.
Liu Chengfeng immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Young Master Liu pretending to be calm and said: "Reply to daddy, this is what I want, kid."
"Oh? Is this what you mean?"
"Yes, that's what I mean, kid.
Dad, as long as you think this thing is feasible, everything else will be easy to handle.
As for the kid's wife, just leave it to the kid.
I can assure you that I will definitely convince her. "
"Are you sure this is all your fault?"
"Reply to daddy, I'm sure, kid."
Young Master Liu gently twirled the jade ring on his thumb and sneered a few times.
"Hehehe, ally."
