The guards came in and reported: "General, the envoys of the vassal states have arrived."

"Okay, let the envoys wait in the conference room." After Li Jing learned that the envoys of the five vassal states arrived at Pingguan City, he turned around from the map facing the wall and ordered the guards: "Let the Chief of Staff gather with the Generals' Conference Room again."

With the guard holding his fists and taking the order, Li Jing picked up the booklet that had been prepared, quickly looked through it, and checked whether there were any missing items that needed to be discussed at the meeting later.

At this time, Li Jing, the 187,000 army, including the vassal army, and 100,000 logistics militias had all gathered in Pingguan City, and they would send troops after today's discussion.

There is no need to be by sea by land. The preparation required is very cumbersome and takes a long time. From gathering troops to gathering manpower and materials, you don’t just set out just by saying that you can set out. Even if you have made sufficient preparations before, it still takes a certain amount of time before you leave.

Just like this journey in Xia State, when you talk about Shanhaiguan, you will reach Shanhaiguan, but it is different when you leave Shanhaiguan. Because the enemy is not an adjacent country, you need to rely on the vassal states in the middle.

This is also the reason why Li Jing received envoys from the vassal states today. He wanted these vassal states to provide 100,000 laborers to the Xia State according to previous notices.

In fact, if it weren't for these vassal states who were delayed and there was no one in the long run, Li Jing would have set out long ago and wouldn't have spent a few days in Pingguan City.

...

In the conference room, the envoys of the five vassal states sat at the end with uneasy hands and feet, looking at the very arrogant and majestic generals of the Xia Kingdom all looked at them, which made them feel a little satisfied when they were uneasy.

The rest of the territories and powers did not know, but the people from the vassal states, especially those from the top, knew that the power of the Xia State became deeper and deeper as they contacted them.

Now these generals of Xia Kingdom who were once arrogant are all watching them. Such treatment is the first to those outside the Xia Kingdom. How can they not be proud of this? This is the capital to brag about in front of their colleagues in the future!

"Tell me, where is the 100,000 manpower required by my country?" Li Jing didn't care about the thoughts in the hearts of the barbarians at the end, he was right in the right direction and said it was very important.

"If you return to the General of the Shangguo," among them, Andre's envoy was recommended by the rest as their spokesperson.

The envoy stood up, bowed to Li Jing with the fist-clamping ceremony of Xia Guo, and replied in half-baked Xia Guoyu: "We have already... ready according to the order of Shangguo... and we are... ready, just... in Nanshan City."

"In Nanshan City?" Li Jing received the answer he wanted most and nodded with satisfaction, then continued: "Very good. After you go back, you notify Nanshan City and say that your country's army to fight against rebellion is coming soon, so that they can prepare for transportation materials."

When the messengers heard the word "very good" that Li Jing said, they immediately opened their mouths and became happy. This was confirmed by Xia Guo and thought that they could submit their jobs when they returned. As for what Li Jing said later, they naturally agreed.

In fact, these five envoys from the vassal states were only able to be present today through the light of Xia State. Because only a few of them were the best at learning the language, writing and etiquette of Xia State, otherwise it would not be their turn to take on this important position if they had no "background".

It can be said that in order to please the country of Xia, their sect leader, the five vassal states were very concerned. They had to report to the country of Xia, no matter big or small, and if Xia had any requirements for them, they would do their best to satisfy them.

However, Xia State generally disdained to interfere with the internal affairs of the vassal states. As for the war between the vassal states against the Welfare Met states, Xia State fully supported it verbally.

In order to allow the five vassal states to confront the Welfare Mate for a period of time, the Xia State avoided the Welfare Mate state, which was close by, both by land and sea.

After the envoys of the five countries left happily, Li Jing then looked at the generals and ordered seriously: "Everyone, go back today and make preparations, and set off on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Yes, General!" The generals finally waited for this sentence, and stood up and held their fists excitedly to take the order.

Afterwards, Li Jing discussed the details of the expedition with the generals and left.

Back in the room behind, Li Jing asked Liu Ji, who was traveling with him: "Military advisor, can our army trust the barbarians outside the pass? Will it be published?"

"It is credible and not credible, nor is it available." Liu Ji smiled slightly and said this unreasonable sentence.

Li Jing felt something when he heard this, and smiled at Liu Ji, "The military advisor is like this, please help Li." Li Jing is also a person with strategy, but most of them claim to be a general, and they also have the character of a soldier, and they like straightforwardness. They are still a little uncomfortable with the twists and turns of Liu Ji, the chief of staff.

"Haha, general, don't worry, let me listen to Liu." Liu Ji and Li Jing have been working together many times. Sometimes when there are only two people, there are not so many rules.

After laughing, Liu Ji returned to the seriousness and explained: "Foreign barbarians, even if they are vassals, are also foreign races. They must not be fully trusted, and the same is true, and they cannot be fully used."

"Is the military advisor worried that these barbarians will have strange intentions?" Li Jing thought about it and knew what Liu Ji was worried about. He was very familiar with marching and fighting, and he must pay attention to what he should pay attention to.

"No, not stop!" Liu Ji shook his head and said, "This is just one of them, but with his own army there, he can't make the most of the world. Apart from that, his own army has no experience in cooperating with outsiders. Liu was worried that once these 100,000 barbarians went to the battlefield, it would not only be of no help, but also a drag on counter-terrorism."

In fact, what Liu Ji said was the last point he was most worried about. After all, the military system of Xia State is a complete and closed system, and cannot be easily touched by outsiders.

Even if these indigenous people are just responsible for the transportation of materials, they will worry that these people will lose the materials or accidentally ignite the gunpowder, which will make the fun bigger. Not to mention the loss of material information, which will expose the military information of Xia State. All of this is what Xia State is worried about.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Song asked Yang Xin from the Military Affairs Office to mobilize 100,000 militias to undertake the logistics supply of 87,000 soldiers on the army.

"Mr. Li knows." Li Jing recalled these causes and consequences and immediately realized: "Let the barbarians be responsible for the logistics transportation of the servants."

Anyway, the Servant Army is also an indigenous barbarian. All the logistics supplies are except arrows and food, and there is nothing to keep secret. Let 100,000 indigenous laborers be responsible for the logistics of the 100,000 Servant Army, and one person corresponds to one person.

Even if one person takes on logistics for one person, it is actually not enough. However, this is in wartime, which means that there is war, battle, and there will be a reduction in personnel. After the reduction, there will be no need to worry about insufficient logistics personnel.

This was what Li Jing had just thought of. In the past, even if he knew that the Servant Army was an indigenous barbarian, he still treated it as a member of the army. But he knew that Yang Song and others had never regarded the Servant Army as humans, but just regarded it as a consumable that was discarded after use, so how could he consider it more?
