King Pingxi nodded and said,
"That's right. You can always gain more troops the more you fight, so this time, do you plan to recruit more of King Anton's troops?"
"It depends on the situation. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and I don't dare to guarantee it.
Although they are both wind people, when the two armies are fighting, the first priority is to ensure that our side can win, and then consider surrendering.
After all, even if you want to recruit surrender, you have to defeat the prisoners first, right?
I have defeated Queen Anton on my side, and you must have defeated King Jingshan on your side, brother.
With your bravery and talent, as well as the elite army under your command, you will definitely be the first to defeat the enemy.
When the time comes, you go east, I go south, and we can fight together. "
Nie Chen's analysis was good, and he also planned this.
After thinking for a long time, King Pingxi shook his head and said,
"No, your chances of winning are still slim. Your general is very smart, but you can't expect all the enemy troops to be fools.
The soldiers and horses under your command are patchwork and composed of forces from all sides, and it is difficult to form effective combat effectiveness on the frontal battlefield.
On my side, there are still 200,000 Pinghe Army and Pingchang Army on the front line in my hometown, and there are nearly 500,000 people here.
You have 500,000 people here, and you still need to disperse your forces...
Let's do this. I will lend you the Plains Army. The Plains Army is my ace army with the strongest combat effectiveness. It is good at fighting tough battles and can make up for the shortcomings of your subordinates' lack of combat effectiveness. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen's eyes widened and he said in surprise,
"Brother, are you really willing to lend me troops and horses?"
King Pingxi was startled when he saw this, and then he remembered a popular saying among the people.
Nie Chen borrowed troops and never returned them...
I lent Nie Chen 10,000 soldiers before, but in the end, even the generals and soldiers were all recruited by Nie Chen.
At this time, Pingye Bozhengchuan also kept winking at King Pingxi, signaling him to take back his words quickly.
However, before King Pingxi could regret it, Nie Chen immediately stood up, clasped his hands and said,
"Thank you, big brother. Big brother is a gentleman. Once he says something, it is hard to chase him back. Big brother is so righteous. For the sake of our strong world and the unification of our country, he is able to expel foreign enemies and reluctantly part with love. I admire him.
You can rest assured that I will definitely make good use of the Hirano Army and will never let them embarrass you. "
King Pingxi said, his head covered with black lines,
"You have to pay it back."
"I know, I will definitely pay it back. Am I, Nie Chen, the kind of person who borrows troops but doesn't pay them back?"
Nie Chen's chest slapped loudly.
Everyone present had black lines on their heads.
Isn’t that what you are doing?
King Pingxi sneered, looked at Yue Dongwen, and asked,
"Xiaoyue, your lord, will he repay the troops he borrowed?"
Yue Dongwen's face turned red instantly and he hesitated,
"Will...will you pay it back?"
He didn't have much confidence when he said this.
After all, he was one of Nie Chen's people who borrowed troops and refused to return them.
"snort!"
King Pingxi snorted coldly and said,
"There are no major events in the capital now. Please prepare more food and grass in the city for the garrison. I have plenty of food and grass there. After all, I occupied the land of seven counties before.
If your side is short of food and grass, you can fight and plunder at the same time, and arrange for people to serve as officials to collect food and grass for you.
Tomorrow we will kill Mingxuan and all the young and old in his family, and the day after tomorrow we will send out troops separately. "
"Okay, I understand. Mingxuan will be killed and executed tomorrow. You and I will still have to be there. As the executioners, we have to watch Mingxuan being chopped into pieces with our own eyes.
After killing Mingxuan, he spread the news to all corners of the country to comfort the people all over the world. "
"OK."
After discussing the specific details of the war, it was almost noon before Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Brother, do you think that after conquering the world, should you and I divide and conquer, or would it be better to coordinate our orders?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.
Everyone here is not a fool. They know that Nie Chen wants to discuss the future division of territory and political scope between their two forces.
This is called preparing for a rainy day. Let's speak clearly first, lest there will be only two of them left. Talking about these things again will easily lead to conflicts.
"We have finally unified. Do we want to divide the country again? This country can no longer withstand the torment of civil strife."
King Pingxi directly opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
There is a plate of pastries on the table. There are four in total on the plate, three on the bottom and one on top.
King Pingxi picked up a piece of cake on top and said,
"This piece of pastry is so big. No matter if it is divided into four parts or divided into two parts, it is not enough for us to eat. What's more, there are outsiders who want to come over and take a bite?
I think it would be better for us to eat all the pastries on this plate. Is such a big plate enough for us two brothers? "
One plate, four pastries.
There are four countries in this world.
The Feng Kingdom was small and barren, with constant civil wars and years of battles, and it was already weak.
If we don’t have enough food at home, we might as well eat from other people’s homes.
Nie Chen laughed and said,
"Indeed, our own family only has such a small amount of possessions. It's boring for the two brothers to fight over each other. It's better to go together to rob other people's things and eat other people's things.
Big brother really thought about it with me. "
Nie Chen changed the subject and continued,
“But if we want to operate smoothly on the front line, a stable rear area and a court with unified command and dispatch are essential.
The emperor is young and ignorant of pleasure, so naturally he cannot hope for it.
After the emperor returns to Beijing, we will reorganize the court.
Those slaves with three surnames in the prison knew that the corpses were lying bare and falling on both sides in the wind. They definitely could no longer be used and they would be chopped down together tomorrow.
We have to select new officials to manage the country's political affairs.
There are three official positions in the imperial court, and we still have to select capable, honest and upright people to assist the emperor.
Before the expedition, the emperor appointed me as the general. Among the three princes, I have already occupied one. The remaining two positions are left and right, prime minister. Brother, please arrange your people. "
There are three ministers and six divisions. The three ministers are the Prime Minister of the Right, the Prime Minister of the Left, and the General.
The right prime minister is the head of the civil service, the head of a hundred officials, the highest-ranking official, and is in charge of all political affairs.
Prime Minister Zuo is the head of the military generals and the second among the hundred officials. He is responsible for military affairs.
The general is the leader of the army and is in charge of the country's military power. He is the marshal of the country's soldiers and horses. When encountering major events, he must lead the troops to fight.
The six ministries are also under the jurisdiction of the left and right prime ministers, but they also further divide the powers of the prime ministers.
It can be said that these nine official positions are the ones with the greatest power over the government and the opposition.
Also the most important.
If Nie Chen wanted to live in peace with King Pingxi, he had to give these official positions to some of King Pingxi's people.
The division of official positions means the division of power.
After listening to Nie Chen's words, King Pingxi shook his head and said,
"I don't have anyone who is good at political affairs, but I heard that you brought out a ruthless man from the prison yesterday?"
"Well, Jiang Lian, the Minister of Household Affairs, is a ruthless person."
