Hearing Ye Li's words, Li Rushan's expression changed and he said, "Ye Li is right. I have been thinking about this problem for several days. From the current situation, one-third of the land of Tang State has become the territory of Yuan State.
In other words, one-third of our land plus all of the land of the Yuan Dynasty have become the territory of the Tianxia Alliance, and the Tianxia Alliance may still have a considerable presence in other countries.
Who knows, these guys from the Tianxia Alliance might suddenly take action one day, and the situation around us might change dramatically. When we wake up, many forces might be incorporated into the Tianxia Alliance.
Well, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to send someone to visit the White Lotus Kingdom.
The only thing we can do now is to form an alliance with the White Lotus Kingdom to fight against Li Rulin and the Yuan Dynasty behind him.
The White Lotus Kingdom has been wavering between our two sides in the past, trying to preserve itself each time.
But now the situation has changed. If they don't want to be destroyed, they must join forces with us to resist the attack of the Tianxia Alliance.
If they don't take action, I will be defeated by Li Rulin sooner or later. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty and the entire Tang Dynasty will merge together to become a huge new force.
Considering the power of the White Lotus Nation, it was only a matter of time before it was annexed and absorbed. They simply did not have the power to resist this huge new country.
I think the people of the White Lotus Nation should be able to think of this, so they should be willing to cooperate with us.
Ye Li, you don't have anything to do recently, so why don't you go on a diplomatic mission to the White Lotus Kingdom on my behalf and persuade them to join forces with us to fight against the Great Yuan Kingdom.
After combining the strength of our two countries, we should be able to resist Li Rulin's attack.
Moreover, the White Lotus Nation may also have threats from the World Alliance in its own country. You can inform them of the situation of the World Alliance so that they can be on guard early and directly kill their conspiracy."
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li was stunned and said, "You want me to go on a diplomatic mission to the White Lotus Kingdom on your behalf
I am supposed to train your army, but if I go to the White Lotus Country, what will happen to your army?"
Li Rushan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't try to fool me, you won't personally participate in the training. You will definitely let your subordinates do it."
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "I'll let my subordinates complete it. I have to keep it in mind and check it from time to time. I can't just ignore it."
Hearing Ye Li's feeble defense, Li Rushan laughed and said, "Ye Li, I don't have many people I can trust, and you are definitely one of the people I trust the most.
You and Teacher Huo will go to the White Lotus Kingdom together as an envoy. You should be able to successfully persuade the White Lotus Emperor to cooperate with us to deal with Li Rulin.
Besides, the White Lotus Kingdom is also to our northeast. After you go back to Dongfang County to prepare, it is not far to go there. You can go back and forth quickly and it won’t take you much time.”
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li looked at him unhappily and said, "Okay, I know what you mean. Seeing that you don't have many people around right now, I will reluctantly run a trip for you.
After the matter is accomplished, I will no longer care about these things and will only take care of the affairs of my Dongfang County.
Besides, I will be going to the Yinxing Soul Seal Land soon, so I definitely can’t miss this opportunity.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Li Rushan nodded and said, "No problem, I know that the Soul Seal is something you must get, and I will not hinder you in this matter."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I will leave you early tomorrow morning and go directly back to Dongfang County.
You have to pay more attention to Li Rulin's situation recently and be wary of his attacks.
I don’t know who the leader of this Tianxia Alliance is, but his ambitions are so great that I have a feeling he will soon stir up some trouble in the entire Nine Souls Continent.”
Upon hearing this, Li Rushan and the others all looked serious and fell into deep thought.
Afterwards, Ye Li said goodbye to Li Rushan and returned to his residence to rest. Early the next morning, he said goodbye to Li Rushan and left Tangjing City directly with the two legions.
Now that the Tang Kingdom was divided into two, the two brothers Li Rushan and Li Rulin both deployed heavy troops around the dividing line between their territories to confront each other.
Li Rulin has the resources of the Yuan Dynasty and the Tianxia Alliance, so his strength is much stronger.
Therefore, Li Rushan could only let his soldiers adopt a defensive strategy as much as possible and not take the initiative to provoke Li Rulin.
Ye Li led his two legions and quickly rushed back to Dongfang County. After the test of actual combat this time, he also found that the two legions he built were extremely powerful.
Ye Li can completely copy this combat method back to the Black Eye Continent and let Ou Qianxie and others build the same legion.
This kind of cooperation between legions can definitely bring out the full combat potential of different legions and show the strength of one plus one being greater than two.
A few days later, Ye Li returned to Dongfang County.
Nearly another month has passed, and Dongfang County is changing rapidly every day.
As the number of merchants continued to increase, Oriental City became more prosperous and lively.
As a lord, Ye Li has seen a large amount of tax money rolling into his pocket.
However, he knew that he could not keep these incomes, and basically all of them would be spent on building the legion.
At this point, the casting of the Soul Gathering Cannon was more than two-thirds complete. As the craftsmen became more skilled, Fusheng estimated that it would take less than a month for them to complete the remaining one-third.
By then, all 1,500 Soul Gathering Cannons of the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment will be fully equipped, and the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment will be fully established.
This period of training has enabled the soldiers of the Soul Gathering Cannon Corps to roughly master the use of the Soul Gathering Cannon, and they have also developed certain tactical coordination and combat change methods.
After the weaponsmiths gave the highly defensive shields and melee spiritual soldiers to half of the Spirit Gathering Artillery Regiment, the Spirit Gathering Artillery Regiment basically possessed very strong combat effectiveness.
As long as all the Soul Gathering Cannons are delivered to the soldiers, the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment can directly enter the actual combat testing stage.
As for the Flying Wing Regiment, after this actual combat exercise, they have also accumulated a lot of practical experience.
This thing is more effective than training for ten days or half a month. What they learn from just one battle can completely transform them into a mature legion.
The first thing Ye Li did after returning was to convene a high-level meeting to explain the future development direction of Dongfang County.
"Ding Si, our Dongfang County is about to welcome a new batch of soldiers, so you can dismantle the military camp outside the city and move everything into Green Mountain Valley."
Ye Li said to Ding Si.
