The Sacred Ding - Chapter 1057
“Zhao Xiaozhi finally agreed to use 2 million jin of extremely precious gold and iron such as tungsten silver, black tin iron and Jingxuan gold as the borrowing capital, but in addition, they also asked to exchange 1 million jin of extremely precious gold and iron for ten green whale class armored warships and a full set of refining Atlas!” on the third night, Fu Siyuan rushed to the outpost to see Chen Hai with the conditions he had negotiated with Zhao Xiaozhi.
The output of xuanyang refined iron is not higher than that of Beiling in recent years. At this time, the Vietnamese Dynasty and Anxi now need to cast a large number of military armor that ordinary soldiers can be equipped with. The consumption of xuanyang refined iron is very large. There is no way to take out 6 billion kilograms of xuanyang refined iron at once and replace it with extremely precious gold iron. It is their inevitable choice to convert the borrowed capital and the cost of purchasing green whale class iron armor and iron ships.
At least for the moment, they have sufficient reserves in spirit sword, magic weapon, advanced armor and defense array. Their demand for extremely precious gold and iron is far less eager than that of Beiling.
“They know how to choose good things,” said Chen Haixiang with a smile. “If they want a complete set of refining Atlas of the green whale armored warship, they should add 200000 kilograms of extremely precious gold and iron. However, since everyone is united against the devil, I don’t care so much with them!”
Since the fierce emperors Qin ran and Anxi Lu had made great plans with the Vietnam Dynasty behind their backs and negotiated terms, Chen Hai was not worried that Zhao Xiaozhi would refuse his terms. After all, they still had to welcome the second batch of reinforcements from the Vietnam Dynasty before they could implement their first step plan.
Although Lu is actively opening up a land channel to cross the Hengduan Mountains and connect with Vietnam and Korea, and requisitioning millions of powerful civilian men, the effect is very slow. At this time, it is far from enough to bear the main channel for the exchange of people, soldiers and materials between Anxi and Vietnam and Korea.
Even from Beihai City in the northeast corner of Vietnam to Wanghai city in the southwest corner of Beiling, the sea route of more than 20000 miles is full of thunderstorms and hurricanes, which also has incomparable advantages over mountain land route.
Of course, Chen Hai smiled calmly at this time and successfully blackmailed a batch of scarce materials from the Yueting court and the LV family, but his heart was extremely heavy. Looking at the faint shadow of magic soldiers in the depths of the jungle for more than a hundred miles, he thought that whenever things change at the first line, the magic robbery no longer seemed so urgent, and the Terran would be eager to expose suspicion, preparedness, suppression The struggle for power and power also made him feel powerless.
Of course, if we can successfully annihilate the remnants of the West Road demon soldiers trapped in Jingshan mountain, the Beiling army urgently needs to rest for a period of time. It is a blessing not to use troops on the South Bank of Wantao river for the time being.
Since the demon family launched the winter offensive, the 50000 square mile area between the Nu Chuan River and the Wan Tao River was originally the most fertile land in Beiling, carrying one billion people to inhabit and multiply, and providing tens of billions of kilograms of grain and other products every year. At this time, almost all the farmland and mines in this area were completely destroyed. A large number of hungry people were evacuated to the north of the Nu Chuan River to suffer from hunger. Wang Du also needed to squeeze food from other places for relief. He wanted to support large-scale war in a short time. Chen Hai had the power of heaven, and it was difficult to avoid large-scale famine in Beiling.
At this time, from last winter to this time, the consumption of Tianji war equipment has also reached an extreme point. More than 12000 wind flame airships have been damaged, and more than 100000 Tianji war vehicles have been scrapped on the battlefield or on the way to the battlefield. The battle of Jingshan lasted for half a year. The consumption of heavy arrow front, Fulian scattered cluster arrows and Fulian heavy arrows almost bottomed out the inventory of Beiling army.
Chen Hai’s initial plan was also to postpone the occurrence of large-scale war. It’s best to work with Anxi, Nanli, Nanzhao and Emperor lie to send small-scale elite combat forces to penetrate the Zhongzhou plain controlled by the demon family, destroy the magic land and weaken the ability of the demon family to continue to expand.
Unexpectedly, there was no possibility of implementing these plans. Chen Hai sighed lightly and said to Fu Siyuan, “there is nothing wrong with Vietnam and Tiannan. It’s time for them to taste the cruelty and blood of the magic robbery. Let’s fight the battle in front of us first, and then talk about others…”
Although Chen Hai doesn’t know what secret agreement emperor Liedi has with Tiannan, he believes that Tiannan will not be able to sit down because of the large-scale increase of troops in Anxi.
“Zhao Xiaozhi wants to see Wang Chen again in his own name before returning to the south bank…” Fu Siyuan said.
“No.” Chen Hai refused cleanly.
Since Zhao Xiaozhi came on behalf of Anxi LV, everything to talk about has been settled, and it is no longer necessary to meet privately. At least before the magic robbery and elimination, Chen Hai doesn’t want to play any intrigue games, and now he doesn’t want to win over anyone within the Anxi clan to prepare for the future.
Fu Siyuan nodded to show that he knew. Surrounded by his entourage, he first returned to Xinjing city and made the final negotiation with Zhao Xiaozhi.
“Do you think LV Shang and Liu Fen can hold the front line of Yin Jiang?” asked Zhou Wanqing.
After the winter offensive, Liu Zhenghua and some of Fusang Jianxiu returned to Fusang three islands to prevent the demon clan from sending a small force to destroy the ship building base of Fusang three islands, but Zhou Wanqing stayed with Chen Hai all the time.
Fu Siyuan comes to Chen hai to talk about his negotiation with Zhao Xiaozhi. Zhou Wanqing happens to come to Chen hai to talk about things.
“As long as it’s not too stupid, you should be carefree in three or five years…” Chen Haitan said.
In summer and autumn, the troops and horses commanded by LV Shang and Liu Fen broke out a series of wars with the demon clan on both sides of the Yin river. The record of Anxi army can be said to be ugly.
In addition to the huge gap between the generals from the upper level and the generals from the lower level, the Anxi tribes collapsed without war and nearly 2 billion people were thrown into the demon clan. In fact, they have completely destroyed the morale and soul of the Anxi army. It is not so easy to rebuild. Moreover, the Anxi tribes have never thought of rebuilding, They can never take the responsibility of abandoning the common people on their own.
Anxi army suffered frequent disastrous defeats in a series of wars in summer and autumn, which was not beyond Chen Hai’s expectation.
This is also the key reason why Chen Hai is not willing to win over Zhao Xiaozhi among the Anxi nationalities.
A clan force that has completely collapsed from its roots does not have the ability to rebuild itself. Even if one or two real kings support the facade, what is worth his heavy bet now?
If Zhao Xiaozhi can show some performance in the next battle against demons on the south bank, Chen Hai can consider wooing him.
In comparison, although the Yueting reinforcements did not experience how cruel the war against demons, the morale of the army did not collapse. The first batch of reinforcements to Anxi with Liu Fen, King Zheng of the Yueting government, were the elite selected by the Yueting government. Therefore, they fought with the demon clan in summer and autumn, with limited casualties and certain results.
This is also the key reason why many people place more hopes on the reinforcement of Yueting government.
Since the Yueting government is willing to increase its aid to Anxi to 4 million, which will greatly relieve the pressure of Beiling army going south and be able to rest for three or five years, how can Chen Hai not be willing?
Chen Hai believes that the Vietnamese army has insisted on fighting in Anxi for three or five years. There should be no problem. After all, the demon clan has suffered heavy losses since last winter.
As long as the Beiling army can successfully wipe out the magic soldiers on the West Road this time, the actual losses of the magic soldiers on the north line in the past year will also exceed 3 million troops and horses.
Even if there is a steady flow of demons in nanchung, and even if the demon family has established a large number of demon breeding sites in Zhongzhou and other places, it is impossible to make up for the loss of 3 million elite demon soldiers in a year. As far as the demon family is concerned, it may not want to rush into a large-scale battle with Anxi army and Yueting Reinforcements under the eyes of Beiling army.
Listening to Chen Hai’s analysis of the twists and turns behind them one by one, Zhou Wanqing sighed and said, “maybe they also expected this. Therefore, no matter how bad the Anxi army fought, they should resolutely stop the Beiling army on the north bank and not let the Beiling army cross the river to participate in the war. Speaking of it, the LV family also has no shortage of smart people. Unfortunately, they can’t use their wisdom where they need it most.”
“If you can use your intelligence where you need it most, where will there be a torrent of magic robbery?” Chen Hai smiled helplessly.
“You disdain to win over Zhao Xiaozhi, but people remember the meat in your pot?” Zhou Wanqing said
“Oh?” Chen Hai said with a puzzled “Oh”, I don’t know what Zhou Wanqing found.
“The Yue Dynasty has a sword to repair Cao Pu and has an old relationship with Zhou Bin. A few days ago, he specially went to the nine prefectures to be a lobbyist. I suspect that the Yue court and LV not only sent lobbyists to the nine prefectures, but you may not notice some details when you supervise the war in Jingshan…” Zhou Wanqing said.
“…” Chen Hai didn’t expect that before he did, others had pried the corner of the wall to him, frowned and didn’t speak for a long time.
“But they should know our origin with you,” said Zhou Wanqing. Zhou Wanqing blushed slightly, glanced at Chen Hai, saw his mind elsewhere, and continued, “he sent lobbyists to Jiujun island. Maybe it’s just a psychological strategy.”
“Heart attack? These wise people!” Chen Hai said with a bitter smile, “there must be many families dissatisfied with me in Beiling, but there is no need to worry about this at this time…”
Chen Hai said that Zhou Wanqing could still see the sadness on Chen Hai’s face.
At this time, there is no need to worry about the chaos of the clans in the northwest region and the northern court. After all, most of these clans have experienced the blood and cruelty of magic robbery, but with the further improvement of the situation, the situation may not be so optimistic.
When Zhou Wanqing wanted to say something, she saw Chen Hai reach out and bring it to her.
Zhou Wanqing was in a state of mind like a cloud and the moon shone through the snow. At this time, she was in a mess. She was stunned for a while before she thought of pulling her hand out of Chen Hai’s grasp. She said angrily, “what do you mean? Do you want to completely bind the Zhou family with you so as to consolidate your power?”
“It’s just that there hasn’t been such an opportunity in the past, senior sister.” Chen Haicheng’s eyes stared at Zhou Wanqing’s eyes like light clouds and moon.
“How can you be such a frivolous elder martial sister?” Zhou Wanqing glanced at Chen Hai, but did not take her hand back.
