Su Yi didn't understand the situation in Lingchuan Prefecture at all. Moreover, he had nearly 1,300 people under him who needed to find a place to settle down.
Su Yi decided to hold another meeting in the tent, gathering the eight high-level generals, three special-class generals, Feng Sanbao, and Feng Wanzhen.
"Commander Liang, you know that I just arrived in Lingchuan and don't understand the situation there. Please explain it to me so that I can find a place for everyone to settle down and make contributions.”Su Yi said with a smile.
"This general will obey!" When everyone heard that they had made contributions, they were naturally restless. Didn't capable people join the army to make contributions? Liang Xing was no exception.
"My lord, Lingchuan Prefecture has a total of four cities and eight counties, a total of more than two hundred cities, more than a thousand villages and towns, and a population of more than thirty million. There were five vassal states in Lingchuan Prefecture, namely Lingguo, Ganguo, Chuanguo, Haiguo, and Linguo.”
"Why is Lingchuan County so big and only has a population of 30 million?”
"Lingchuan County originally had six vassal kingdoms. Just a year ago, Lin Country was destroyed. In addition to the chaotic war between the vassal kingdoms, there were too many soldiers and population losses.”Liang Xing explained.
"I see." Su Yi also roughly understood after listening." Commander Liang, continue."”
"The strongest vassal kingdom in Lingchuan Prefecture, Lingguo, occupies Lingchuan City, Lingxiang County, and Lingtian County. It has a total of 50 cities, a population of about 10 million, and a regular army of 500,000.
The second vassal kingdom, Gan Kingdom, occupied Shangling City, Ganling County, and Xialing County. There were a total of 50 cities, with a population of eight million and a regular army of 400,000.
The third vassal state, Chuan State, occupied Lingheyi. Hailing County had a total of 30 cities, a population of 5 million, and a regular army of 300,000.
The fourth vassal kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, occupied a total of more than 30 cities in Fulinyi and Haichuan County. It had a population of about four million and a regular army of 250,000.
The fifth vassal kingdom, Lin Kingdom, occupied Linhai County and Lingyang County. There were more than 20 cities in total, with a population of about three million and a regular army of 200,000.”
"Commander Liang, something doesn't seem right. Aren't there more than 200 cities?”Su Yi asked doubtfully.
"My lord, you have misunderstood. There is a sixth force in Lingchuan County, and that is the Bai Yue Outsiders. They are spread out across all the counties in Lingchuan. They occupy more than 20 cities and have a population of about three million. Their army also has a total of 300,000 troops.”
"Commander Liang, then why do these vassal states have a population of more than a few million, but not many regular armies?”
"My lord, other than the regular main army, there are also many garrisons and private soldiers of the aristocratic families in various regions. Moreover, the dukes of Lingchuan County had been fighting in the past few years, and many young men had died. The people were too poor, and the tax rate was high. Most of the wealth was in the hands of the great clans, so the dukes naturally could not afford to raise too many soldiers.”Liang Xing replied.
After listening to Liang Xing's explanation, Su Yi's heart turned cold. All the forces had a hundred thousand regular troops. Adding on the garrisons and private soldiers, he only had a thousand or so. Even if the vassal states did not have the support of the people, wanting to occupy a city was simply a fool's dream.
"Commander Liang, there are ranks for generals. How are they divided?”He didn't care about making contributions first. He had to understand some other things first.
"My lord, there are a total of nine levels of generals. They are elementary, intermediate, advanced, special, king, emperor, emperor, god, and saint. I am now a special-class general. The highest level of general in Lingchuan Prefecture is only at the Imperial level. There are not many Emperor level generals. Divine level and Saint level generals are legendary existences.”
After hearing Liang Xing's words, Su Yi felt that with his father-in-law, he could completely crush the high-end combat power of Lingchuan Prefecture. However, after all, a war could not be solved by high-end combat power alone. It had to be done with a large number of soldiers.
"Commander Liang, what's with the title?”Su Yi asked.
"My liege, the title is bestowed by the Sovereign. It can be said to be the Sovereign's evaluation and recognition of this person.”Liang Xing said with a serious expression. The other generals also became rather respectful when they heard the word 'Overlord'.
"Who is the Sovereign?" Su Yi asked. There was actually a master god in this game.
"My lord, I don't know, and I don't dare to talk about the lord.”Liang Xing's expression became even more serious and respectful, as if he was afraid of offending the Master God. However, Su Yi did not believe this.
"Commander Liang, why are there troops fighting here? Are they on a mission?”Up until now, Su Yi had already seen the armies of the four forces. Their clothes and armor were bright and distinct, so Su Yi naturally could tell at a glance.
"My lord, it's true. The legendary Hero Altar is about to descend. There are treasures on the altar, especially the most ling grains.”Liang Xing explained.
"The altar in the ancient legends. How can someone believe such an illusory legend?”Su Yi shook his head. As a good child who grew up under the red flag, he did not believe in legends.
"My lord, although the altar is a legendary thing, it really exists. It is recorded in the history books, and it was also prophesied by the sovereign. This might be the last time the altars would appear. There were a lot of them, and it was predicted in the " Ancient Romance " that nearly one-tenth of the altars in Lingchuan County would appear in the ling grains.”Liang Xing was full of anticipation, as if finding the altar would be of great benefit to him.
"Commander Liang, do you know the exact number?”Su Yi asked. He was getting more and more curious about this altar.
"My lord, I don't know about this.”
"In order to snatch the ling grains and the altar, did the five vassal states of Lingchuan County send out many troops?”Su Yi asked.
"My lord, that is indeed the case. Ling sent out 150,000 troops, Gan sent out 100,000, Chuan sent out 100,000, Hai sent out 100,000, and Yelin sent out 100,000.”Liang Xing knew a lot about the strength of the armies of the various countries, and he was also very clear about the number of troops they sent out.
"550,000? That's a lot. Then why did they start fighting so quickly?”Su Yi remembered seeing an army fighting the moment he entered the game.
"My lord, although the ling grains have been occupied by the foreign tribes, they are still the territory of the neighboring countries. The other vassal countries didn't even inform us and directly sent their armies in. The neighboring countries naturally held a grudge against them, so they allied with their ally, the Sea Kingdom, to attack the army of the Chuan Country. After that, a chaotic battle ensued. The armies were all scattered, and the six factions had lost about 80% of their armies.”Liang Xing explained with a smile.
"Commander Liang, how do you know so much?”
"I was a general of the Sea Kingdom before, so I participated in all of these operations, so I'm more familiar with these situations. Protector Zhao was a general of Gan Country, so he knew a little about it.”
"Protector Zhao, is this true?”Su Yi looked at Zhao Zheng and asked.
"My lord, that is indeed the case." Zhao Zheng replied.
"That means that there should be twenty thousand troops in the ling grains, ten thousand in the Gan Country, ten thousand in the Chuan Country, ten thousand in the Hai Country, and ten thousand in the Lin Country. These troops have also been scattered, and now is our chance. Moreover, with Uncle Feng around, it would not be a problem to take down a few cities as a place to live.”Su Yi thought for a moment and said. Currently, increasing his own strength was the top priority.
"My lord, what if the armies of the other vassal states don't agree to us recruiting them?”Zhao Zheng asked. After all, the Marquisate Kingdom's army had a grudge against them.
"If you don't agree, use force to warn the others.”
"My lord, what should we do next? Please give the order!”Liang Xing said.
"Uncle Feng, can you be the commander of this military operation?”Su Yi looked at Feng Sanbao.
"I haven't exercised my body for a long time.”Feng Sanbao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Feng."
"Kid, you know something now."
"Thank you for your praise, Uncle Feng. I will definitely work harder in the future.”
"Well, it's good that you have the heart." Feng Sanbao nodded.
"Uncle Feng, you're in charge of this operation. I won't be participating.”Su Yi knew that he was not good at military command, so he directly handed it over to the professionals.
"En, Zhu Yi, don't worry. I will take care of it for you.”Feng Sanbao was very confident and serious about this matter.
"Thank you, Uncle Feng."
"Commander Liang!" Feng Sanbao took over the command of the army and immediately became serious.
"I'm here." Liang Xing immediately stood up with a serious expression.
"Immediately break camp and search for a fighter jet.”
"I accept your orders!" After receiving the order, he immediately left the tent to prepare.
"Commandant Li Yi."
"I'm here!" Li Yi stood up immediately when he heard Feng Sanbao's name.
"Immediately send out cavalry scouts to the surroundings to scout for information. Check the whereabouts of the scattered troops and report back immediately if you find anything.”Feng Sanbao ordered.
"I accept your orders!" Li Yi immediately prepared to go after hearing that.
"Everyone else, go and prepare." Feng Sanbao said.
"I will take my leave." The few generals in the tent filed out, leaving only Feng Sanbao, Feng Wanzhen, and Su Yi.
"Wan 'er, teach your Brother Yi how to ride a horse. Next, we need to keep moving and fighting. It's impossible if we don't know how to ride a horse.”
"I know, Daddy. I will teach Brother Yi how to ride.”Feng Wanzhen smiled sweetly.
