To laymen, Qin Feng's words seem very simple and clear.
But for a general like Chen Si, these simple sentences contained countless important information.
Beixi County has strong soldiers and horses. Looking at Beidi, only the Eagle Brigade and Snow Wolf Brigade can stop the soldiers and horses of Beixi County.
However, these two powerful teams had been fighting fiercely for too long and were all moved back to the second line to rest.
Although there are still 10,000 elite soldiers and horses left on the border, it is not easy to block Beixi County's all-out attack.
It is precisely because they understand the gap between them that the frontline generals will never dare to have a head-on field battle with Beixi soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses of Beixi County penetrated into the border hinterland with a clear goal, which was to head towards Xiongying Ridge.
Then the frontline generals will inevitably deploy superior forces to fortify the south side of Xiongying Ridge to block the Beixi soldiers and horses.
As a result, the defensive power in various parts of the state will be weakened.
The soldiers and horses of Beixi County can be dispersed into small groups and attacked in all directions. They can launch attacks on various county strongholds in a state at the same time.
Moreover, the configuration of Beixi County's troops and horses is extremely special.
According to Ye Xiao's long-term investigation, all the generals in Beidi are already familiar with the situation in Beixi County.
In Beixi County, the cavalry is very majestic, and its goal is to challenge Beidi's Eagle and Snow Wolf Brigades.
Small groups of light cavalry can rely on their speed advantage to harass back and forth.
The Beixi Black Cavalry, those heavy infantry armed to the teeth, can cooperate with the infantry and stay on the front line, so that the defending Beidi soldiers and horses do not dare to act rashly.
In the past, the generals at all levels in Beidi often had one voice.
It implies that Beixi County's military deployment is geared towards an 'expeditionary brigade'.
Unlike other military forces that focus on defense, Beixi County has always aimed to 'take the initiative'.
It was just that at that time, the two countries were at war with each other, and no one could spare the effort to pay attention to the brewing expeditionary force in Beixi County.
This time, Qin Feng only took ten days to seize the territory of a state with the force of strong winds sweeping away fallen leaves.
Undoubtedly confirmed the speculations of previous DPRK generals.
The soldiers and horses of Beixi County...are exactly an expeditionary force!
Chen Si remained silent because, in his opinion, Beixi County was so close to the Beidi border.
An expedition brigade has grown up under your own nose, which is a shame in itself!
Not only was the intelligence agency derelict in its duties, but he, the frontline commander, also had an unshirkable responsibility.
Chen Si's reaction was fully visible to Lu Li.
Lu Li knew very well that what Qin Feng said was true. He might have really plundered a state in just ten days.
But Lu Li was unwilling to give in.
He gritted his teeth and snorted: "Even if we take over a whole state, what will happen?"
"Beixi County only has more than 10,000 troops in one city. Once one of our Eagle and Snow Wolf brigades is transferred to the front line, we can take back the lost territory!"
"You are right, our border city in Dadi is weakly defended. This is a disadvantage for us, and it is the same for you!"
"Even if we capture it, how can we defend it?"
In Lu Li's view, although Qin Feng was a god in using troops, he was not very clever in terms of overall strategy.
This state's land can be defeated but cannot be defended, so what's the point?
It would be too naive to want to use such results as a bargaining chip!
Faced with Lu Li's contempt and ridicule, Qin Feng laughed.
"Lu Zhuguo, since I have ordered the attack, I have naturally made all preparations."
"Can't keep it? So what's the problem!"
"Who said I have to guard?"
"I just need to drive away all the cities and people in this state, and then burn them all."
"Conquer and destroy all the fortress strongholds, making it difficult for your subsequent troops to enter them."
"Just turn this land into a place of war!"
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but frown.
Because Qin Feng's plan even exceeded Lu Li's knowledge.
"A place of war? What do you mean?"
Although Qin Feng still had a smile on his face, his eyes were as sharp as a sword.
As a minister of the country, there is no personal emotion involved, only absolute reason and absolute ruthlessness!
As long as he can seek benefits for the country, Qin Feng is willing to bear the infamy!
Qin Feng's fingers focused on the map.
It was like a sharp sword thrust into the plain wilderness on the border of Beidi.
This instruction made all the Beidi envoys feel frightened.
Qin Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he said in a deep voice: "Have you ever heard of the buffer place?!"
"Although I, Daliang, cannot have actual control over this land, the same goes for you, Beidi!"
"In the future, this land will be a buffer zone between you and me."
"I just need to cover this land with informants and secret sentinels."
"As soon as your troops from Beidi arrive, I will immediately send troops to harass you, making it impossible for you to live in peace forever, let alone rebuild."
"If Beidi wants to attack my Daliang, you have to pass through this land first. I will let you die before you reach the city!"
"Haha, Lu Zhuguo, I just want to cut off your Beidi territory and use it as my shield!"
As soon as these remarks came out, the entire Beidi mission fell into silence.
Even Lu Li, the representative of the hawks, was speechless for a long time.
His face was sometimes red and sometimes pale.
He never dreamed that Qin Feng could play with 'geopolitics' so smoothly at such a young age.
Little did they know, a figure on the side of the peace talks hall had heard all the content of the peace talks just now.
Emperor Liang put his hands behind his back and his face turned red with excitement.
"Use the land of Beidi to become my shield."
"What a buffer!"
"Qin Feng, I would like to call you my Daliang scholar!"
Emperor Liang turned around and left, feeling more relaxed than ever before. He was no longer willing to waste any more energy on this peace negotiation.
Because Emperor Liang knew very well that Qin Feng had firmly grasped the initiative in this peace negotiation.
Everything that follows is just for discussion and war reparations.
A group of Beidi envoys, led by Lu Li, silently sat back at the negotiation table.
Lu Li said nothing. Han Yu beside him couldn't help but wink at Chen Si and asked in a low voice: "General Chen, is Qin Feng's statement feasible?"
Chen Si's face was also extremely solemn.
After a long time, he nodded helplessly and kept his voice very low.
"Beixi County soldiers and horses are modeled after the expedition brigade and have extremely strong field combat capabilities."
"Even our Eagle Brigade and Snow Wolf Brigade can only drive them away but cannot defeat them."
"As long as Beixi County is determined, it can indeed turn this land into a dead land."
"By then, any war against this state will turn into a bottomless war of attrition."
"Any temporary stronghold and fortress needs to be heavily guarded, otherwise it will be vulnerable. This will make it difficult to consolidate the defense line here."
"His move sets a precedent that no one can match..."
