My wife is number one in the world

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and nodded, then suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something again.

"By the way, uncle, do you have any information about the Western barbarian countries around Persia?"

Hearing the question asked by Young Master Liu, Zhang Kuang chuckled and nodded.

“Your Majesty, we have intelligence on almost every kingdom.

However, the intelligence on the various countries varies. Some have been investigated quite thoroughly, while others have only obtained some of the more important intelligence."

Young Master Liu chuckled and nodded, then put the freshly peeled grapes into his mouth.

"Uncle, no matter whether it is complete or not, please send a copy of it to my study."

"Okay, I understand."

After Young Master Liu tilted his head slightly and spit out the grape seeds on the tip of his tongue, he smiled and turned his gaze back to Duan Dingbang.

"Dingbang, what do you think about the information Zhang Shuai just told you?"

As soon as Young Master Liu said this, a large group of generals present instinctively turned their heads to look at Duan Dingbang.

Zhang Kuang also slightly turned sideways, and looked at Duan Dingbang who was sitting diagonally opposite him with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Duan Dingbang subconsciously turned his head to look towards Zhang Kuang. When he saw that Zhang Kuang was looking at him with a faint smile, a complex look flashed across his eyes.

Then, he retracted his gaze and bowed to Young Master Liu with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself."

Seeing the change in Duan Dingbang's expression, Young Master Liu adjusted his posture with a smile and casually turned the jade ring on his thumb.

"Dingbang."

"The minister is here."

  "Dingbang, you don't have to belittle yourself when it comes to intelligence.

Not long ago, you led the second army of soldiers on the Western Expedition and just arrived at the Arab Empire.

Therefore, it is normal that you don't know much about the situation in Western countries.

Just as you said before, it’s not that you haven’t considered this aspect, it’s just that you are willing but unable to do so!

I can understand this situation.

  However, from another perspective, this is precisely the shortcoming of your second army's westward expedition!

For the sake of the overall situation in the future, it is also to make up for your weaknesses in this area of ​​intelligence.

From now on, you have to learn more from your two seniors. "

When Duan Dingbang heard what Young Master Liu said, he nodded immediately.

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely seek advice from the two seniors more often in the future."

Liu Ming nodded slightly and glanced at young generals such as Ge Gonglu and Zhuge Ziqing with a smile on his face.

“Gonglu, Ziqing, and Datie, the same is true for you generals.

The sage said, "To know what you know and to know what you don’t know is true knowledge."

No one is born with knowledge, so who can be without doubts?

In some matters, it is not shameful not to understand something. Pretending to understand something when you don’t is truly shameful.

The most correct thing for young people to do is to ask questions humbly when they should.

Do you understand what I mean?"

"We understand. We will definitely seek more advice from you seniors in the future." "Haha, hahaha.

That's great, that's great!"

After Young Master Liu expressed his emotion with a loud laugh, he glanced happily at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yun Chong, Wanyan Chizha, Yaleha, Huyan Yu and other generals of the older generation.

"My dear ministers, the juniors are asking for advice with an open mind. You seniors should not hide your knowledge when facing the juniors' requests for advice!"

Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and others listened to Young Master Liu's smiling words, and immediately punched Young Master Liu in unison.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will never hide anything."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Young Master Liu laughed out loud and said hello three times in a row. Then he reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to dozens of generals, big and small.

"My dear ministers, come on, let's have a drink together."

Upon hearing this, Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Yun Chong, Cheng Kai, Duan Dingbang and others hurriedly raised their wine glasses and responded to Young Master Liu with a smile on their faces.

"Cheng and others offer a toast to Your Majesty. We will drink first as a sign of respect."

"Drink together."

"cheers."

Young Master Liu drank the wine in the glass with a smile on his face. He sipped the wine gently from the corner of his lips while skillfully peeling a grape and putting it into his mouth.

Seeing this, the little cutie smiled and filled another glass of wine for his stinky dad.

After silently swallowing the grapes in his mouth, Young Master Liu looked with a smile at Duan Dingbang who had already filled a glass with wine.

"Dingbang, regarding your expedition to help Persia quell the rebellion, I have one last question."

As soon as Young Master Liu said this, Duan Dingbang immediately sat up straight.

"Your Majesty, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."

  "Dingbang, according to your report in the war report, you went to help Persia quell the rebellion and fought a total of 18 battles, big and small.

In these 18 battles, you have killed a total of 40,000 enemy soldiers and captured more than 110,000 enemy soldiers.

  More than 40,000 enemy soldiers were killed in battle, and more than 110,000 enemy soldiers were captured. The two together mean an army of about 150,000!

Around 150,000 troops is not a small number!

The most important point is that the army of about 150,000 troops is only the rebels within the borders of Persia.

The strength of the rebel army alone is about 150,000. If the main force of the Persian court is added, the strength of the entire Persian territory will be even more formidable!

Under normal circumstances, if all the troops in Persia were added together, there would be at least 250,000 to 260,000 troops.

About 250,000 to 260,000 troops. Even if our Great Dragon Dynasty wants to mobilize so many troops at once, it is not an easy task!"

When Young Master Liu said this, he frowned slightly and turned to look at the map on the side.

"Dingbang, according to the content on the map, all the cities, big and small, in the entire Persian territory add up to only forty-three cities at most.

Forty-three cities can gather about two hundred and fifty thousand or two hundred and sixty thousand troops.

Under such circumstances, even if all the adult males in Persia were added together, even if three out of ten were recruited, it would probably not be possible to mobilize such a large number of troops, right?

Therefore, I am very curious now.

Where on earth did this tiny country of Persia get so many troops?" (End of this chapter)
