Volume 10 Chapter 245

Chapter 245

When the dinner was over, the kings stayed directly in the palace, and Yue Zeye had already arranged their accommodation.

Tang Yin was arranged in a courtyard not far from the main hall. It was not big, but there were many main rooms and side rooms. The interior was kept quiet and spotless, and the bed was specially thickened to make it soft to lie on.

Even though this is just a palace that has not been occupied for a long time, the conditions inside are much better than those in Tang Yin's palace.

When he returned to his residence, he had just taken a few sips of tea, and before his butt was still hot from sitting, Lingshuang arrived. After meeting, Lingshuang got straight to the point and asked: "Why don't you want Zhenguo to divide the land, but only the spoils of war?"

Tang Yin was amused and asked: "Do you think you can really make benefits from the land allocated in Zhenguo?"

"Can't it?"

"Of course!" Tang Yin sneered and said: "It is said that the land is divided, but in fact the final control is in the hands of the Sichuan Kingdom. If you want it now, it will definitely be a trouble in the future. The Sichuan King can use this as a blackmail to force you. Our two countries will submit and even surrender!”

"If that's the case, it's best not to divide the land when the time comes." Lingshuang said disapprovingly.

"You think too simplistically." Tang Yin shook his head and said: "The territory of a country cannot be given up if you want it or give it up. It is easy to take it, and the whole country is happy, but once you give it up, it will definitely cause chaos in the country. If the people are dissatisfied, the people will also complain, thinking that the monarch is weak and incompetent, and has done things that are humiliating to the country. Other countries will use this to add fuel to their jealousy and laugh at the joke. The situation will be very difficult and the face will be lost.”

After he said this, Lingshuang also took a breath. She had never thought about this. She only thought about the benefits of getting the land. She didn't expect Tang Yin to think so far.

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Tang Yin continued: "Furthermore, Zhenguo is vast and sparsely populated, and its national strength is very weak. If it were not for the implementation of the policy of all people being soldiers, Zhenguo's military strength would probably be the weakest among other countries. Zhenguo's military strength would be the weakest among other countries. What is the tax revenue and grain production of the territory? Even if you and I can be divided into two or three counties in the end, the benefits will be pitiful. Rather than accepting a burden that has no sweetness, it is better to take advantage of the destruction of other countries. Make a fortune."

Lingshuang gradually accepted Tang Yin's view. She smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wang also said that Zhenguo is weak and its national power is limited. Even if you and I try our best to conquer it, I'm afraid we won't be able to grab anything."

Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and asked: "What do you think is the most valuable thing about Zhenguo?"

Lingshuang looked confused, what is the most valuable thing in Zhenguo? Is it possible that apart from gold, silver and jewels, does Zhenguo have any other treasures?

She looked at Tang Yin with dull eyes, not quite understanding what he meant. The latter said meaningfully: "If Sister Wang only sees those dead things in her eyes, no matter how much money the Japanese army can plunder this time, it will be a huge loss."

"Brother Wang means..."

"In my eyes, the most valuable thing in Zhenguo is its people!" After saying that, Tang Yin yawned, looked up and down Lingshuang maliciously, and asked with a smile: "I'm sleepy. Sister Wang wants to sleep with her husband for the night. ?"

Tang Yin's mind jumped too fast. As soon as he got to the point of the question, he immediately jumped to the matter of men and women. Lingshuang was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She was angry and funny, glared at him fiercely, said no more, turned around and left in silence.

Until she returned to her residence, Tang Yin's words still echoed in her mind. Yes, the most valuable thing in Zhenguo was indeed its people. The long-term system of all citizens serving as soldiers has long trained the characters of Zhen people to be extremely tough. Even children under ten years old are good at riding and shooting. The Zhen army is even more famous for its terror. Among other countries, the only one who can fight alone is In terms of military combat, the one that competes with the Feng Army is the Zhen Army. They are brave and good at fighting, extremely ferocious, and are not afraid of death. The strength of the Zhen Kingdom lies in its army.

Could it be that Tang Yin was reminding himself to capture more prisoners of Zhen Kingdom, bring them back to his own country, and cultivate an army of Zhen people belonging to his own country? Lingshuang nodded secretly, feeling quite enlightened, and at the same time she secretly screamed for wisdom.

The six kings had the basis for the first day's discussion, and the subsequent negotiations became extremely smooth.

A consensus has been reached on the broad aspects, and only some specific details remain. In Yuzhen's palace, the six kings gathered for another two days and finally finalized everything about the battle against Zhen.

According to the results of the negotiation, the six countries of Sichuan, Feng, An, Huan, Mo, and Yu each sent 200,000 troops to form a total army of 1.2 million. They gathered in Anguo and set off from Anguo. They first took Shangjing and then from Shangjing. Break into the territory of Zhen Kingdom. Worried that the 1.2 million troops might not be able to defeat the Zhen Kingdom, the six kings needed to mobilize an additional 200,000 troops from their own country as backup. Once the front army was frustrated or blocked, the backup army of one million troops could follow up immediately. .

As for the issue of food and fodder for the coalition forces, it will be jointly provided by the six countries.

On this issue, Tang Yin first proposed that the food and grass for the Feng Army and the Yu Army should be supplied by the other four countries. After all, both Feng and Yu had chosen to give up the land division and had already suffered a big loss. If the food and grass for the expedition army were still supplied by the home country, then It's so unreasonable.

When Tang Yin feels the need to fight for it, he will never let go of the opportunity, even if he is shameless, he will fight to the end.

The 400,000-strong army went on an expedition to the Zheng Kingdom, and the amount of food and grass they consumed was not a small amount. Tang Yin's idea was to save when he could. If he could gain advantage from other countries, why waste his own country's food reserves.

He was very persistent about the issue of food and grass. Xiao Xuan, Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Shao Fang were all a little worried. Is Feng State so poor? It is really shameful to ask other countries for food and grass for a mere 400,000 troops. If it were not for the fact that Feng Army is good at fighting, they would have been unable to tolerate it and kicked Feng State out of the coalition.

Feng State sent 400,000 troops, while Yu State could not even afford 400,000 troops, and could only send 300,000 at most. The two countries had a total of 700,000 troops, and it was not a big deal for the food and grass to be shared by the four countries.

In the end, Xiao Xuan and others accepted Tang Yin's conditions, and the food and grass of Feng Army and Yu Army were borne by Sichuan, An, Huan, and Mo.

Although the six countries bargained over interests, the corps dispatched were not a mob, and the elite central armies of the six countries were all dispatched.

Sichuan State sent the second, third, fourth, and fifth corps of the central army. According to the organization of Sichuan State, the higher the ranking, the stronger the corps.

The Feng army dispatched the Pingyuan army, Sanshui army, Feiying army and Huwei army, each of which is the main army of Feng country.

The An country mobilized 400,000 Zhongwei army. The central army of An country is divided into five major armies: East, South, West, North and Central. The "Central" refers to the Zhongwei army, which is the largest and most powerful army among the five major armies. The Zhongwei army of An country has 500,000 people and is usually stationed near the capital. Its status is equivalent to the direct army of Feng country.

The Huan country dispatched the Gengshen army, Xinyou army, Renxu army and Guihai army. It can be seen from the names of the Huan army that the Huan country is ambitious and has great ambitions. Unfortunately, the Huan country currently has only twelve armies.

The Mo country dispatched the Tianwei army and Tiannu army, 200,000 cavalry armies and 200,000 infantry armies.

The expeditionary armies of Yu country are the third, sixth and eighth armies. This is what Yu State has managed to gather so far. Except for the first legion that stayed in the capital, the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh legions were all defeated when fighting against the Mo An coalition. Only the organization was left, but no troops.

According to the prior agreement, the kings of the six countries would not return to their countries, but only sent letters to the country to mobilize troops to come to An Guo.

In addition, Tang Yin also specifically passed on the letter in the letter, asking the emperor Yin Zhun to issue a rebellion manifesto as soon as possible to give the coalition forces to conquer Zhen State a legitimate banner.

When his letter was transmitted back to Yancheng, the court and the people of Feng State were in an uproar. No one expected that Li Hong's claim to the throne would turn into such a result. The six countries of Feng, Chuan, An, Huan, Mo, and Yu actually formed an alliance and jointly raised troops to conquer Zhen State.

Qiu Zhen followed Tang Yin's intention and issued an urgent transfer order, ordering the four armies of Pingyuan, Sanshui, Tianying, and Huwei to march to An Guo immediately. On the other side, Zhang Xin, the internal historian of grain, took Tang Yin's letter and went to the palace to meet Yin Zhun.

The imperial court was in a panic now. Most ministers were planning their future. Of course, some loyal ministers were like bereaved parents. As for Yin Zhun, he had no appetite, no food, and no sleep these days, fearing that he would be suddenly expelled from the palace and deposed as a commoner.

The key to Zhang Xin's arrival was the news he brought. It was undoubtedly like a timely rain, which relieved the precarious imperial court and made Yin Zhun, who had been frowning for several days, breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Xin certainly would not miss this opportunity to take credit. In front of Yin Zhun, he made up a lot of nonsense, saying that Tang Yin had spent a lot of time and effort to win the kings to fight against the rebellion together, and he also said countless good things for the emperor in front of Tang Yin, etc.

Yin Zhun, who was extremely excited, had no time to think carefully about his words. If the six princes attacked Zhen, Zhen would be destroyed, and he, the emperor, could continue to do his job without any worries.

Seeing Zhang Xin's mouth opening and closing, talking endlessly, Yin Zhun simply ordered to reward him with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, and a Yu Ruyi that was worth a thousand gold.

Zhang Xin accepted the reward and left happily. Yin Zhun couldn't wait to summon all the ministers to announce the good news, and also discussed how to write the anti-rebellion manifesto.

The six princes attacked Zhen, and the panic-stricken imperial court immediately stabilized. People racked their brains to write this anti-rebellion manifesto, which was full of literary talent and righteousness. They listed Li Hong's crimes and almost cursed his eight generations of ancestors, as if there was no one in the world more hateful and more heinous than Li Hong.

In any case, once the emperor issued the anti-rebellion manifesto, it caused a sensation throughout the country. People from all countries responded actively and wrote to the courts of all countries, hoping that their monarchs would obey the imperial edict and send troops to fight against the rebels.

In this way, the six kings' dispatch of troops became a natural thing to do in response to the will of heaven and the will of the people. The six kings' attack on Zhen was already on the verge of a bowstring and was unstoppable.
