"It's okay. What can the women and men in the countryside know? Not to mention them, even the men in Taijing City, how many have ever seen a battlefield? Don't forget, the right prime minister who is at odds with us is still imprisoned in the prime minister's residence and trying to breed a baby. Propaganda work does not necessarily have to publicize facts, but what the audience wants to hear." Xue Wuxia replied.
"So this is what my little brother Lin meant again?"
"My Lord Qinghe is very concerned about Lord Xinyue's situation, so he will naturally do his best to help Lord Xinyue's dream come true." Xue Wuxia said with a smile.
"Haha, a dream come true? Probably. I know what Brother Lin means. He will help me make my dream come true. Well, only a quarter to a fifth of it."
"Lord Xinyue, you are now the military commander of Cambodia on the border of the Chen Dynasty. All civil and military affairs in these four states are decided by you. Although the 300,000 soldiers and horses at your disposal are not as powerful as the original 400,000, the 100,000 disobedient ones would be a nuisance if you left them. They would not be as useful as the 300,000 men you now have at your disposal.
You said, my Qinghebo has done so much, it is not too much to accept three-quarters of your Khmer as hard work money. "
Xue Wuxia smiled.
"You all know that the four states cannot support 300,000 soldiers. Even if we capture some civilians and bring them back to cultivate the land, we still can't afford it." Xin Yuetu said unhappily.
"Honestly, Master Xinyue, I don't understand why you want to raise so many soldiers? With Qinghe here, Tang Tong won't attack again. You two are each supporting each other and respecting each other, so no one will fight to the death.
"Once my uncle takes Taijing, you'll have Tangtong to the north and Qinghe in the other three directions. Who will you need to guard against? Of course, I understand that you must not trust that villain Tangtong. It's not a big problem. You can leave a few tens of thousands of soldiers. We in Qinghe will take care of the rest. You can rest assured."
Xue Wuxia's words left Xin Yue speechless. He originally wanted to refute him for the sake of justice, but everyone present was an insider, so who was he performing for?
As for the Khmer, bah! Xinyue suddenly thought. When my stepmother threw my mother into the well in front of me, and Xinyueping, the king and head of the family, ignored it, I lost the Khmer in my heart. It's a pity that Lin Hai refused to give Taijing to me. Otherwise, I could have chopped off Xinyueping and that bitch's heads with my own hands.
The war between the Chen and Khmer forces at Chongzuo marked the end of the seventh year of the Tianxian era. Compared to the previous period of slow, measured battles between the various nations, the fighting was now more intense, and the bloody and radical eighth year of the Tianxian era was finally approaching in the cold winter.
"Our elder brother Xin seems dissatisfied?"
Lin Hai frowned and asked after reading Xue Wuxia's report.
"It's normal to feel a little disappointed," Wang Zuo said. "But Xin Yuetu is a realistic person. He knows that 'what you eat is what you get,' so I guess he'll just complain for a few days."
"But we still can't relax our surveillance on him. This is good for him, and for us. Let's close the Zhaoyang Station and set up a new 'Tangtong-Xinyuetu Working Group'. Let Xue Wuxia be the team leader, and send a few more people from Qinghe to help her."
Lin Hai thought for a moment and added, "Our immediate mission is to maintain stability before the summer harvest of the eighth year of Tianxian. We must seize the opportunity to develop and prepare for the war after the summer harvest. Before then, all areas bordering us must remain stable. As for other areas, we must deplete the strength of each country as much as possible."
"Oh, right." Lin Hai turned to Ling Yang and said, "The envoy from Xia Country you mentioned has been idle for half a month. I think I can meet him after some arrangements."
