Volume 10 Chapter 185
Hearing the shouts, the Feng army led by Qi Heng all turned back and saw several fast horses galloping behind them. The one at the front was not a military general, but a civil official, Guo Jue TXT download.
Qi Heng knew Guo Jue. After all, there were not many Mo people in the Feng Army. It was difficult not to know him, but he had not had much contact with him before. When Guo Jue and his entourage approached, Qi Heng rode towards them and said with a smile, "Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Mr. Guo!"
Guo Jue first raised his hand, then bumped his fingers against the soldiers in front of him, and asked, "What is General Qi doing?"
Qi Heng rolled his eyes and said, "I suspect there are enemy soldiers hiding in this house, so I have to go in and search..."
Before he could finish these excuses, Guo Jue said seriously: "Your Majesty has already issued an order. Anyone in the army who plunders people's money will be killed without mercy. If anyone kills innocent people indiscriminately, the nine tribes will be killed. I want to be united." General, you haven’t heard yet. Previously, the king was severely punished for killing a daughter of a commoner in the country of Mo. He had his hair cut off to show to the public. How does General Qi’s identity and status compare with the king? "
Guo Jue and Qi Heng were both from Mo, but he didn't really have a good impression on Qi Heng. He was a scholar and a literati, while Qi Heng was a bandit, a bandit leader who killed without blinking an eye. Guo Jue despised him from the bottom of his heart. If he wasn't afraid that Qi Heng would kill innocent people indiscriminately in the city and hurt the people, he wouldn't bother to come to warn him.
After hearing what he said, Qi Heng was secretly surprised. He really didn't expect that Feng Jun's military discipline was so strict. Even the king would be punished if he violated it, and the punishment was severe.
Seeing that he was deep in thought and silent, Guo Jue sighed and said: "General Qi, don't forget your situation in the Feng Army. You are still just a subordinate general, far from gaining the king's trust, and the Feng people who don't like you are still I don’t know how many there are. Once he makes a mistake and is caught, General Qi may be in danger of eternal destruction!”
These words made Qi Heng take a breath. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Guo Jue said was not unreasonable. As soon as he joined the Feng army, he grabbed the limelight and made meritorious deeds one after another. Who knows if those Feng people generals would be jealous! He meditated for a moment, then suddenly turned over and dismounted, bowed respectfully to Guo Jue, and said sternly: "What Mr. Guo Jue said is absolutely true, I will teach you!" After a pause, he said again: "I don't know. Mr. Guo Jue, do you have time tonight to host me and have a few drinks together?”
Qi Heng is a smart man. After talking with Guo Jie, he immediately realized that he was alone in the Feng Kingdom. If he wanted to achieve great things, his own ability alone was not enough. He also needed someone to help him. He was also talented and talented. The extraordinary Guo Jue is the best candidate.
Divided we are weak, united we are strong, this concept is the basis for the formation of clique factions.
When Guo Jue saw Qi Heng taking the initiative to invite him to drink, how could he not understand Qi Heng's intentions? Now the Feng Kingdom's court is dominated by the Feng Ren family, and the Ning Ren family also occupies a place. Relatively speaking, there are too few Mo Ren officials and generals, and they seem to be alone. Uniting together is not a bad thing.
Even though he didn't like Qi Heng in his heart, Guo Jue still nodded with a smile and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Qi Heng was overjoyed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Mr. Guo Jue is a scholar, but I am just a reckless man. I hope Mr. Guo Jue can give me some advice in the future."
Guo Jue smiled and said, "General Qi is too polite."
Whether it was out of false love or forced by the current situation, in short, Guo Jie and Qi Heng, two men who were both civil and military, came together, and their closeness became the prototype of the Mo Ren faction in the Feng Kingdom court. .
In the evening of that day, Tang Yin held a banquet in the city lord's palace in Jin'an and drank happily with his ministers and generals to celebrate the success of the first battle of the Battle of Surabaya.
In the city lord's palace, there are lamps, torches, bright pine trees, laughter, cups and cups, a lively scene. It is hard to imagine that just two hours ago, there were corpses everywhere here, and it was a mess washed by the blood of the wind army.
Lingshuang was also invited to the banquet and sat side by side with Tang Yin. However, when she saw the blood stains on the ground that had not yet been wiped clean, and recalled the mutilated corpses hanging outside the gate of the mansion, she was overwhelmed by the sumptuous dishes in front of her. Loss of appetite.
In her opinion, the Feng Army was still too cruel and barbaric, which was very different from the Yu Army's style, but it was undeniable that the Feng Army fought beautifully in the battle of Jin'an.
She and Xu Wenfeng had carefully studied the Feng Army's tactics. The reason why the Feng Army was able to break through the fortified Jin'an within half a day was that the extraordinary troops led by Qi Heng and Kong Yan played a crucial role. The key to why Qi Heng and Kong Yan became extraordinary soldiers was that Tang Yin personally took action and controlled Jindong Town.
It can be said that in the Battle of Jin'an, the most inconspicuous and most important battle happened to Tang Yin. However, at the banquet, Tang Yin did not mention a word about his achievements, but kept praising his soldiers. He first praised Wu Ying's style was rigid and fierce, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe. Later, he praised Qi Heng and Kong Yan for defeating more with less, and wiped out Mo's reinforcements, especially Qi Heng. He first killed Mo's national policy general Xia Qing, and then defeated Mo's national policy general Xia Qing. The city also killed Shang Daoyuan, the lord of Jin'an City, and made extraordinary achievements in succession. Tang Yin not only praised Qi Heng verbally, but also publicly appointed him as a partial general at the banquet, temporarily subordinate to the direct army. During the war, soldiers were promoted fastest. For Qi Heng, he was just a surrendered bandit. However, in less than a month, he was promoted from commander of a thousand to regiment commander, and then to partial general. His official position was the same as that of general. Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan and other generals are no longer on par.
Looking at Tang Yin who was smiling broadly, praising his subordinates and rewarding them for their merits, Lingshuang on the side also nodded secretly. Among the Feng generals, there are many masters, and there are countless people with outstanding abilities. There are Feng people, Ning people, and Mo people. , but everyone is willing to work for Tang Yin, not only because he is the wind king, not only because the wind power is strong, Tang Yin also has his unique personality charm.
Even if other monarchs did not participate in the war, they would compete with the generals below for credit after the battle, fearing that their subordinates would outdo their superiors and threaten their own status. However, Tang Yin was just the opposite. They were all distributed to his subordinates. From another aspect, it can also be seen that Tang Yin had confidence in himself. He believed that he had the ability to suppress the talented generals of the Feng Army. This may also be the difference between a grassroots monarch and a hereditary monarch.
Lingshuang admires Tang Yin's approach. The more she gets in touch with Tang Yin, the more she can discover his advantages. Of course, these advantages are only for Feng Country, but they are threats to other countries. The deeper she understands Tang Yin, the more Lingshuang understands Tang Yin. She became more and more afraid of him.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tang Yin cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Taking Jin'an is just the beginning of the Battle of Surabaya. Next, our army will march straight in to capture Peicheng and Tongchuan, and then return to the battle of Surabaya." Capture the county town of Tongxia in one fell swoop and defeat the Mo army in Sishui County!"
The two generals Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, who had not made any achievements in the Battle of Jin'an, both stood up, raised their hands and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard at the end of the Battle of Pei City!"
Before Tang Yin could speak, Qi Heng also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to be a vanguard!"
If it was Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan who asked for the tassel, the wind generals would have no objections. Seeing Qi Heng also come forward to ask for the tassel, the wind generals looked at each other and said: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" "The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"
Seeing that the generals' morale was high and they were rushing to take charge of the battle, Tang Yin laughed loudly, with pride beyond words. He turned to Ling Shuang and said to Ling Shuang beside him: "The gale soldiers are all brave, even if there are strong enemies, they are not afraid of fighting. King Yu What do you think?"
Tang Yin's eyes shone when he spoke, and he smiled happily, like a child who deliberately showed off in front of others. He completely lost his usual sinister and cunning smiling tiger style. Lingshuang secretly shook her head and specially gave Tang Yin an exaggerated smile, 'sincerely' He praised: "The warriors of the Feng Kingdom have won thousands of victories over the Yu Kingdom!"
"Haha——" Tang Yin laughed again. Now he is indeed very proud, because the battle is going so smoothly. At the current speed, he will be able to capture the entire Surabaya County in less than a month, and the Feng Kingdom will take a big step forward in annexing the Mo Kingdom.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Looking forward to the scene where he and Shao Fang face off in Zhenjiang. Tang Yin sighed with a smile, and then asked Qiu Zhen, "When will the additional troops of our army arrive?" After continuous battles, the direct army, excluding casualties, had barely 70,000 troops to fight, and new troops were needed to fill it.
Qiu Zhen said: "The additional troops have left Ba Pass, and it will take half a month to reach Jin'an at the earliest!"
Tang Yin shook his head and said: "Half a month? I can't wait that long." After saying that, he ordered: "Wuying obeys the order!"
"The end will be here!" Wuying handed over his hand.
"You lead 20,000 soldiers to capture Peicheng. Before attacking Peicheng, you can first fly multiple routes to wipe out the villages and towns around Peicheng and completely cut off Peicheng's foreign aid!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Qi Heng and Kong Yan obey orders!"
"The general is here!" Qi Heng and Kong Yan both came out.
"You two will lead 20,000 soldiers to capture Tongchuan. Before attacking Tongchuan, you must also wipe out the surrounding villages and towns to eliminate future troubles forever!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Later, Tang Yin assigned Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan, Ye Tang, Gao Yu and other generals to attack the main towns passing through in separate directions.
Tang Yin dispatched all his generals and 70,000 soldiers in one go, preparing to advance hand in hand in the next battle. Thousands of arrows were fired at once, so that the Mo army could not find the focus of its attack, thus disrupting the Mo army's defense. .
General Feng and his advisers had no objections to his tactics. Qiu Zhen and Cai Gui also thought it was feasible. The Feng army that had just captured Jin'an began to move around again under Tang Yin's mobilization, actively preparing for the continued invasion south.
Tang Yin didn't know that the Battle of Jin'an was the last straw for the Mo Kingdom. After learning that Jin'an was lost and the Feng Army fully invaded Surabaya, Shao Fang could no longer remain calm. Surabaya County was now the Mo Kingdom's. If the Surabaya River is lost, all the 500,000 Mo troops fighting outside will become a lonely army. How can it be repaid?
At this time, Shao Fang no longer cared about annexing Yu State, nor did he care about the results achieved in Yu State. He urgently sent an order to the army in front, ordering them all to withdraw and quickly assist Sishui County. This decision that Shao Fang reluctantly made became a turning point in the Feng Mo war.
