Volume 10 Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Qi Heng got his wish and became the commander of the Fengguo Cavalry Corps. Although his military rank was only Lieutenant General, he knew that as long as he had more experience and more military exploits, it would only be a matter of time before he was promoted to General.

Qi Heng was full of gratitude to Guo Jue for giving him advice, and even wanted to give the house that Tang Yin had rewarded him to Guo Jue.

However, Guo Jue refused on the spot. He knew that forming a clique for personal gain was a taboo in the court, and he had no time to avoid suspicion, so how could he dare to accept such a heavy gift from Qi Heng.

He refused to accept it, and Qi Heng thought that Guo Jue was a calm and indifferent person who did good without expecting anything in return. He trusted and relied on him more. Whenever he encountered major or minor matters, he would always come to Guo Jue to discuss it in advance, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

Now Qi Heng has undoubtedly become the representative of military officers of the Mo people in the Fengguo court, while Guo Jue is the representative of civil officials. The two of them hooked up together and naturally became the leaders of Mo people officials.

Soon, officials of the Mo people came to follow them and followed their lead. Many Mo people who wanted to expand their careers in Feng State also came to them and wanted to seek a position through their relationship.

Originally, it was just a small circle of two people, but under the trend of various factors, it expanded rapidly and soon became a large group composed entirely of Mo officials.

After Qi Heng became the head of the army, a few days later, the first batch of war horses and armaments transported by Besa arrived in Yancheng.

Next, Qi Heng began to get busy. He had to select people from the new recruits, recruit soldiers himself, and supervise the training of the soldiers. He was so busy that he was exhausted. Fortunately, he had two deputies, Ye Tang and Gao Yu, by his side to help him share a lot of military affairs.

Since the end of the Feng-Mo War, Feng State has launched a series of reforms to fully guarantee the source of troops. After more than two months, the Feng Army has become strong and powerful again, and the replenishment of troops in each army has reached saturation.

The only thing that has not yet been formed is the Ninth Corps. Besa needs to deliver the materials needed by the Ninth Corps in batches. It is useless for Fengguo to be anxious.

Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, another month passed. The materials promised by Besa arrived one after another, and the first cavalry corps of Fengguo was officially established.

This is a heavy cavalry corps of 100,000 people. In addition to the people, the war horses, armor, and weapons are all produced in Besa. As for the power of the corps, it can only be confirmed on the battlefield.

The establishment of the cavalry corps is a happy event, but Fengguo is not happy because a terrible incident happened during this period.

The materials stored by Fengguo in Hetian Town, Mobei, were suddenly attacked. After the attack, the enemy set a fire. Although the Feng army rushed to rescue a batch of supplies, a large number of weapons and armaments were destroyed by the fire.

Most of the armaments stored by Fengguo in Hetian Town were large weapons prepared for the invasion of the south. They are extremely important. Now most of them are destroyed. The loss is not only money, but also time. The attack on Hetian Town also directly disrupted the planning of Feng's government.

Tang Yin was very angry about this and immediately ordered to remove the chief general of Hetian Town from his post and escort him back to the capital for strict investigation.

Feng's army stationed more than 10,000 troops in Hetian Town, while there were only a hundred or so enemies who came to attack. If the chief general had not neglected his duties, there would be no possibility of a successful attack.

In addition, how did the enemy know that they had important supplies stored in Hetian Town? This is very likely that there are spies in their own team who secretly passed the information to the enemy.

Tang Yin ordered Anjian and the Lieutenant's Mansion to investigate the matter strictly. Anyone who is suspected must be detained immediately and strictly examined. Once verified, they will be executed immediately.

Most of the people who attacked Hetian Town this time were spiritual practitioners. They ran away after the fight. Feng Jun had no place to find them, and it was very difficult to investigate.

After more than ten days, Anjian and the Lieutenant's Mansion got nothing. Not to mention that they didn't catch anyone, they didn't even find out the identity, origin, or even which country the other party was from.

Tang Yin was certainly not satisfied with this result. This time he had no way to deal with the enemy and let them go unpunished. Then they would come back again next time and attack the stored supplies. There was no end to this.

For this reason, the ministers of Feng State also advised Tang Yin, hoping that he could change the location of the stored supplies from Hetian Town to Baguan.

After all, Hetian Town was a place of Mo people. If the attackers were Mo people, they would be mixed in with the people and there was no way to find them. It would be much safer to store supplies in Baguan.

Baguan was safe, but it was also far away from the war in the south. It would take a lot of time to transfer supplies to the south when the war started.

After thinking it over, Tang Yin decided not to change the storage location, but Hetian Town would be under military control, and the people in the town must accept the management of the Feng Army. If there were people who were not adaptable, the Feng Army could also help them move with a certain amount of gold and silver.

This method finally made the supplies stored in Hetian Town of Feng State relatively safer, but next, Feng State still had to replenish the lost baggage, and the second war against Mo was also delayed indefinitely.

As the saying goes, plans cannot change quickly. Even if it is only delayed for two or three months, all the plans of the Military and Political Hall have to be re-formulated. In two or three months, the military strength, commanders and even the attitude of the court in each county of Mo State may change. This requires the Sky Eye and the Ground Network to re-explore, and after obtaining accurate intelligence, it will be sent back to the Military and Political Hall to be checked with the previous intelligence. If there is a discrepancy, even if it is only a discrepancy in the military situation of a county or a city, the Military and Political Hall will have to revise the original plan.

The cost of systematization is cumbersomeness.

Feng Guo is formulating a new plan for war against Mozambique, and another earth-shaking change has occurred in Shangjing.

Since the Sichuan and Zhen allied forces jointly invaded Shangjing and scared away the emperor Yin Zhun, Sichuan and Zhenren have been jointly managing Shangjing.

However, news came from Beijing this time that Zhen Wang Li Hong had summoned the world and was preparing to depose Yin Zhun and ascend to the throne himself.

This news is undoubtedly a bombshell for Feng Guo. Sichuan and Zhen are allies. Li Hong wanted to ascend the throne, so he naturally had the approval of Sichuan. Huan and An also always followed Sichuan and Zhen. Needless to say, these two countries would also approve of Li Hong's ascension. As soon as Li Hong got the support of most of the principalities, his ascension to the throne became a matter of course. So what use was Yin Zhun in Feng Guo's hands? Without the emperor's trump card, where will Fengguo go in the future?

After learning about this, Tang Yin immediately summoned Letian and Ai Jia, and ordered them to quickly spread the spies from Tianyan and Diwang. They must find out what was going on in Shangjing and the attitudes of various countries towards this matter.

In Tang Yin's view, if Li Hong really wants to proclaim himself emperor, except for Feng State, all other countries will recognize it, even the Jade State. Then Sichuan Zhen can use this to make a big fuss and isolate Feng State. , it is not far from the establishment of the second Wind-defying Alliance. The matter was of great importance, and Tang Yin was also very nervous.

By the morning of the next day, the civil and military ministers of Feng Kingdom were all discussing the matter.

If Li Hong really registers as emperor, how should Feng Guo respond? Should he admit it or oppose it? If you admit it, you will have to obey Li Hong's orders. If you object, you may be subject to a joint crusade from all countries. But this time, Mo Country will not stand on Feng Country's side again.

Tang Yin, who was sitting on the king's chair, looked around at the people below, frowning tightly as he listened to their busy discussions. At this time, even Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were frowning, their faces were gloomy, and they lowered their heads in silence.

His right and left arms had such solemn expressions, and Tang Yin felt even more unsure. He stood up distractedly, pacing back and forth in front of the throne with his hands behind his back.

Above the court hall, apart from Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji's side being extremely quiet, there was another place that was also very quiet, which was where Cai Gui sat on his knees.

No matter how heated the discussions among the people around him were, or how blushing and thick-necked the arguments were, he half-closed his eyes and remained unmoved, with a vague smile on his face, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Tang Yin had sharp eyes and soon discovered that Cai Gui's reaction was different from others. He stopped and cleared his throat, but none of the ministers present heard him, and the hall was still very noisy.

Snapped!

Tang Yin had a sullen face, slammed the table, and shouted loudly: "Stop arguing!"

Just for a moment, all the noise in the lobby disappeared, and the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

He raised his eyes to look at Cai Gui and said calmly: "Master Cai?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Cai Gui seemed to have expected that the king would call him. He held his hands in his hands, bowed his head, and saluted.

"What do you think about this matter?" Tang Yin looked at him for a moment and asked.

"My opinion is..." Cai Gui smiled leisurely, raised his head, glanced at the people around him, and said with a smile: "The Kingdom of Zhen is going to fall."

ah? As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. No one would have thought that Cai Gui could come to such a shocking and unbelievable conclusion.

Tang Yin was also shocked. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you say this?"

Cai Gui pondered for a moment and said: "Sichuan and Zhenzhou have always worked together to manage Shangjing, and if Li Hong wants to ascend the throne in Shangjing, he will not need the consent of Sichuan, right?"

"Does this need to be said?!" Zhang Xin, the internal history of Zhisu, laughed and said: "Without the support of Sichuan State, Li Hong would not dare to covet the throne even if he had the courage."

Cai Gui nodded and asked, "So what does Mr. Zhang think of the relationship between Sichuan and Zhenya?"

Without thinking, Zhang Xin blurted out: "Sichuan Zhen has always been an ally. This is known to everyone in the world! What? Doesn't Mr. Cai not know?" As he spoke, he curled his lips and looked at Cai Gui from the corner of his eyes. .

He looked down on Cai Gui and felt that Cai Gui was where he was today because of his recommendation in front of the king. Not to mention that he was from Feng, while Cai Gui was from Ning and was only in his twenties. How could his views be compared with his?

"I don't think so." Cai Gui said seriously: "As early as when our country was at war with Mozambique, I said that the two countries, Sichuan and Zhenya, seem to be inseparable but have many internal conflicts that are difficult to resolve."

Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and others nodded. Cai Gui had indeed said this before.
