Chapter 570: Half a piece of paper of fame, thousands of mountains and rivers of wind and snow (IV)
If the crisis really reaches a certain level, the Wei family can stop the war.
The moment Wei Changtian said this, although Xu Suisui and Ning Yongnian's expressions remained unchanged, they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"good."
After taking a deep look at Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui's tone became extremely serious.
"In that case, I will tell the two Dafeng and Daning what is about to happen."
“.”
The Daning Dynasty, covering a total of thirty-six states, is located in the southeast corner of the continent, with the southeast side facing the sea.
The northernmost state was Liang, and north of Liang was the Tianshan Mountains where Zhang Benchu was killed by old Zhang Tou with his sword.
Further north of the Tianshan Mountains is a tiny country called "Ji".
The State of Ji was not big, only about one-tenth the size of Daning.
Due to the natural barrier of Tianshan Mountain, there is very little communication between the two countries. However, they are neighboring countries after all, so the Xuan Jing Division has always stationed a small number of spies in the country, and the Zhanshi Mansion also sends envoys every year.
However, this was not the case with the "Dajue Dynasty" further north of the Ji Kingdom.
The territory of Dajue and Daning is similar, and the whole country is practicing the path of "witchcraft".
The three thousand great ways each have their own strengths and weaknesses, so we will not discuss here which is better, "witchcraft" or "Taoism", or whether there is a "distinction between good and evil".
In short, before Daning fell into chaos, the national strength of the two countries was actually not that different, and there was almost no contact between them.
Therefore, apart from being able to obtain some "public information" about Dajue through Ji State, Daning's concept of Dajue basically only remains on the map.
The Dafeng Dynasty, covering a total of twenty-four prefectures, borders Daning to the east, the Shiwanda Mountains to the south, and the Dahui Dynasty to the west. Further west of Dahui is Xu Suisui’s “first stop” after his time travel, the Daqian Dynasty.
Unlike the Dajue mentioned above, Daqian's national strength is far greater than Dafeng and Daning, and there is no mainstream way of cultivation in the country, each school and sect has its own way.
Similar to Dajue, Dafeng knew very little about such a big country separated by a country, let alone Da Ning separated by two countries.
So. "Miss, what you mean is that Dajue and Daqian want to send troops to our Daning?"
In Lingbo Pavilion, Ning Yongnian's expression was somewhat surprised.
He was surprised at the information and how Xu Suisui knew it.
After all, although the two countries are far away, he will definitely be able to detect any large-scale abnormal troop movements.
And since I hadn't received any news before, it means that the actions of these two countries have always been carried out in secret.
So how did Xu Suisui find out? Was it just because she was from Daqian?
It was obvious that Ning Yongnian had already checked Xu Suisui and knew some information.
However, these scattered information certainly could not make him believe such a thing immediately.
"Miss Xu, how did you know this?"
“.”
"Your Majesty does not need to know about this, and they are not just for Daning, but for Dafeng and Daning."
Looking at Ning Yongnian, Xu Suisui paused for a moment and said, "There's more."
"what else?"
"Also, it's not just Dajue and Daqian that are sending out troops."
Xu Suisui said calmly: "It is the four countries of Ji, Jue, Hui and Qian."
“.”
The four countries of Ji, Jue, Hui and Qian.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lingbo Pavilion fell into deathly silence.
Not only Ning Yongnian, but even Wei Changtian's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Wow! Four countries sent troops at the same time?! According to Xu Suisui's previous narrative, he had always thought that the "yellow bird" was only Dajue and Daqian.
In the end, it turned out to be a four-nation coalition? ? What are Dafeng and Daning going to do?
Although he was surprised, Wei Changtian did not doubt the authenticity of Xu Suisui's information.
The latter could not tell such a lie and had no motive to do so.
After all, judging from the current situation, the truth of this matter will probably be verified soon.
"When will they move?"
Suddenly, Wei Changtian looked at Xu Suisui and asked, "It should be recently, right?"
"Um."
Xu Suisui nodded and said, "We will send out troops in the first month of the new year, and the vanguard will arrive in Liangzhou and Jingning Prefecture by February next year at the latest."
The troops were dispatched in the first month of the year.
It's mid-November now, which means there's still a month and a half left.
There are still at most three months before the war officially begins.
"How many people will come in total?"
Soon, Wei Changtian asked a second question: "You should know about this."
“.”
Pursing her lips, Xu Suisui did not answer immediately.
Now, most of Dafeng’s soldiers have been defeated. If those who surrendered with Li Qi and the remaining private soldiers from various prefectures are counted together, there are no more than 300,000 soldiers.
Daning is slightly better. Ning Yongnian alone has more than 300,000 men under his command. Adding the 500,000 or 600,000 in the country, they can still make up the number.
If we also take into account the underworld forces that the Wei family has won over, as well as the reinforcements from Shu and Dali under the rule of Ning Yuke.
If they could truly achieve "one heart and one mind, facing the outside world in unison", the Fengning and Ning countries would be able to mobilize at least one million troops now.
More than one million people, this is already very good for two countries that have been fighting for more than a year. After all, 500,000 people died in Yuanzhou City alone, and later another 200,000 people died in Niutou Mountain.
However, you must know that in this world, due to the existence of the cultivation system, it is impossible for everyone to become a soldier.
There are only so many people practicing cultivation, and it is impossible for everyone to join the army, so the speed of replenishment must be far slower than the casualties after the war. It can be said that one less person is killed.
How many people would be needed to destroy the two countries with more than one million soldiers left? If the war did not stop and the chaos continued, perhaps 500,000 would be enough.
If there is a ceasefire and everyone unites to fight the enemy, then at most an equal number of people will be needed.
This is indeed the truth.
However, Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian both understood that since the four countries of Ji, Jue, Hui and Qian were going to launch an attack, they definitely wanted to end the war as quickly as possible.
Then the number must be higher than one million.
So... 1.2 million? 1.5 million?
For a moment, both of them stared at Xu Suisui, waiting for her answer.
After a moment of silence, the latter finally took a deep breath and said slowly with a complicated expression:
"almost"
"Two million."
“.”
Two million.
Damn, in ancient times, there were only a handful of wars in which the total number of people on both sides exceeded one million, and there was a lot of water in them.
As a result, I have only been here for less than two years and I have to fight a war with a total of three million people? ? ?
Although he knew that these two million people could not possibly come to kill him all at once, Wei Changtian was still stunned when he heard it.
On the other side, Xu Suisui hadn't finished speaking yet.
“That’s not all.”
"Master Wei, Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary invasion by the four countries."
"They not only want to plunder land, but also kill people."
"If we can't resist, it will not be just an empty statement that nine out of ten houses in Fengning and Ning will be empty."
“.”
The cold wind blew the tent, and the dull sound seemed like sobbing.
After Xu Suisui even told Ning Yongnian about the military strength of the four countries, Ning Yongnian no longer doubted the authenticity of it all, but half lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Judging from his slightly trembling body, his emotions at this moment must be extremely complicated.
However, Wei Changtian regained his composure after complaining in his heart for a while.
Glancing at Xu Suisui, he suddenly asked another question that seemed a bit irrelevant.
"Anything else?"
"ah?"
Xu Suisui was stunned: "What else?"
"I mean, besides what we just said."
Wei Changtian looked her straight in the eyes and asked word by word, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"
“.”
"have"
"About a certain sword technique?"
“.”
"Um."
