Volume 10 Chapter 266
Chapter 266
Looking at the indignant Yue Ze and Li Xin, Tang Yin felt angry and funny. These two people were really not ordinary people. Read the full text.
In fact, Xiao Xuan had his own reasons for choosing not to rescue him. But he also understood that it was useless to talk about it now.
He said sternly: "Brother King Yue, Brother Li Wang, even if Brother Xiao Wang did something wrong at the beginning, the two brothers should still focus on the overall situation. Let the Sichuan and Mozambican armies hold on and hold back the Zhen army, which is also good for us. It is extremely advantageous that we can seize this opportunity and attack Xitang in one fell swoop. If the Sichuan-Moscow coalition is defeated, in the end, I am afraid they will have no choice but to retreat to our side and join us. By then, even if they have captured Xitang, I don’t know whose pocket Zhenguo’s gold and silver jewelry will go into.”
Tang Yin's words were extremely effective and immediately touched the hearts of Yue Ze and Li Xin.
Xiao Xuan, the king of Sichuan, is famous for his ability to bully others. Relying on the strong national power of Sichuan, he will fight for the most benefits. If the Sichuan army is allowed to enter Xitang, others will not get any benefits.
It is better for the Zhen Kingdom's gold, silver and jewels to be shared equally among the four countries than to be monopolized by the Sichuan Kingdom and left to the five countries to pick up scraps. Thinking of this, Yue Ze and Li Xin looked at each other. The latter stomped his feet heavily, shook his head and muttered: "There is nothing we can do..."
Seeing this, Yue Ze said to Tang Yin: "What Prince Tang said is reasonable. I will spread the word to the country and send people to escort supplies to the Sichuan and Mozambique armies."
"Ah, this is really troublesome for Brother Yue Wang."
"Huh? It's no trouble. We are all on our own. Brother Tang Wang is too outsider."
Yue Ze accepted Tang Yin's proposal and agreed to deliver supplies to the Sichuan-Mobile Allied Forces. Let's not mention these for now. Let's talk about the Five-Nation Allied Forces. After entering Xiangshan County, they sang triumphant songs all the way. They conquered two counties and six cities in a row, and a million-strong army carried thunderous troops. It is the last county in Xiangshan County and the county seat of Gabu County.
The Zhenguo local army has gathered more than 100,000 people in Gabu County. The strength of these local armies is quite large, but it is still very different from the Five Nations Allied Forces. A head-on confrontation is impossible. There are more than 100,000 local troops. The entire army retreated to Nanyue City.
Nanyue City is not the county seat of Xiangshan County, but its location is dangerous and important. It is just on the only way from Xiangshan County to Longhu County. The city is built on the mountainside, and outside the city is an almost 30-degree The slopes on the left and right are surrounded by cliffs on both sides, so no matter how many enemies come to attack, Nanyue City will always have one wall to resist the enemy. This can greatly save the manpower of the defenders, and the enemy has to attack from the bottom of the mountain to the top, which is extremely difficult.
It can be seen that Zhenjun has completely given up on the county town of Qiyuan, and even the head of the county Gong Song has gone to Nanyue.
The Allied Forces of the Five Nations captured Qiyuan very easily. To be precise, when the Allied Forces of the Five Nations arrived at Qiyuan, it was almost an empty city.
It was not that all the people inside had fled, but that all the officials in the county had fled to Nanyue along with the head of the county. Even the granaries and bank vaults in the city were empty.
The reason why the people of Zhen Kingdom did not flee in large numbers is mainly related to the gentle policy currently implemented by the Five-Nation Allied Forces.
The Allied Forces of the Five Nations never killed innocent people indiscriminately in the towns they captured, nor did they rob people of their property like they did in Canglin County. The two countries of Feng and Yu also publicized preferential policies and invited the people of Zhen to move to Feng and Yu. .
Even if it was just like this, Gu Anmin still expressed his dissatisfaction to Tang Yin and Lingshuang. If there was really an indiscriminate killing of innocent people, I am afraid that the more than 200,000 Zhen troops headed by Gu Anmin would have to turn against the Four Nations Allied Forces immediately.
After occupying Qiyuan, the Feng and Yu armies remained the same, first posting notices to calm the people, and then posting notices to recruit people, using various preferential policies as bait to encourage the Zhen people to migrate to Feng and Yu.
Feng Jun also set up a special office to handle the relocation, and the main person in charge was Jiang Hao.
The cohesion of Zhen people has not reached the level of monolithic unity. Some people live a superior life, but most people live in poverty and hardship. Now there is a rare opportunity. Many people living at the bottom are interested in trying their luck in Feng and Jade. If they can really It’s not a bad idea to improve your life and settle down.
Even if no force is used, there are not a few Zhen people who voluntarily migrate to Feng and Yu. Since Feng Country offers more preferential conditions than Jade Country, and Jiang Hao, a scholar from Zheng Country, works hard, there are also many Zhenren people who want to move to Feng Country, and the office is crowded and overcrowded. .
This scene happened to be seen by Gu Anmin who was passing by. His face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth secretly. What supports Zhenguo's national strength? The Zhen Kingdom is poor, without rich resources or fertile land. The national strength of the Zhen Kingdom is completely supported by the people of Zhen. Now the Feng Kingdom moves the Zhen people with great fanfare, preaching and deceiving wherever they go. This is to make Zhen Guo want to The country is perishing!
Gu Anmin casually grabbed a Zhenguo citizen who was squeezing forward but couldn't squeeze in, and shouted sternly: "You were born in Zhenguo, but you want to be a Fengren, you are worse than a pig or a dog!"
In other countries, people may not dare to fight with officials, but in Zhenguo, there is no such concept. The Zhenren people looked at Gu Anmin and saw that he was wearing Zhenguo armor. They snorted disapprovingly, shook his hand away, and said with a cold face: "Why are you pretending to be noble? Even our king can do that. If you usurp the throne and become the emperor, you can all defect to the Six Nations Alliance, why can't I become a Feng Ren instead?"
The common man's words made Gu Anmin speechless. When the guards accompanying him saw this, they yelled "Bold" and swarmed around him. Not to be outdone, the common people turned around and drew out their daggers from their waists, intending to confront the guards.
Gu Anmin sighed helplessly, Zhenguo was really in troubled times now, and the country was on the verge of crisis! He waved his hands to the guards to signal them not to cause trouble, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go! Go to the county capital!"
In the past, he often went to Tang Yin and Lingshuang to discuss the matter of relocating the people of Zhen Kingdom, but in the end, they all failed under the hard and soft tactics of Tang Yin and Lingshuang. This time, he wanted to make it clear to Tang Yin and Lingshuang. This cannot go on.
Now, Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin are all in the county capital, discussing and discussing the next battle situation.
After capturing Qiyuan, the prefecture and city, we have to march to Nanyue. This is a difficult nut to crack. Not only are there many defenders, but the terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will take a lot of effort to capture Nanyue.
Everyone discussed and discussed, but could not come up with a sound strategy. In the end, Yue Ze and Li Xin felt tired and went to rest one after another. Only Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were left to continue the discussion.
At this moment, a guard came in from outside to report, and Gu Anmin asked to see him.
After all, Gu Anmin was the general of the Zheng Kingdom, and he must be very familiar with the situation in Nanyue City. Tang Yin just wanted to hear his opinion. Since he came on his own initiative, he was invited to come in.
Not long after, Gu Anmin walked in from outside under the guidance of the guards. Seeing Tang Yin and Lingshuang, Gu Anmin bowed to each of them respectfully.
Tang Yin said with a smile on his face: "General Gu, you came at the right time. I have something to ask for advice."
Gu Anmin was startled and asked, "I wonder if His Highness, King Feng, has anything to ask the general?"
Tang Yin waved to him, called him to come close to him, then lowered his head and pointed at the map on the table, and said: "Next, our army will attack Nanyue, but the terrain of Nanyue is steep, and there are no less than ten defenders in the city. Wan, if we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses, General Gu, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Gu Anmin had no choice but to temporarily suppress the migration of the Zhenren people, and replied sternly: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang is right, Nanyue is indeed a dangerous place. One of the reasons is that the city is well defended, and the other is its terrain. It is indeed very easy to defend. As far as I know, when there was no war in the past, Nanyue City had a large number of rams and giant trebuchets. Whether the rams were released from the city or the trebuchets smashed huge rocks, it was very important for siege. Either side will cause huge damage, even if it is a million-strong army, it is not wise to attack Nanyue! "
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang felt even heavier. It seems that in peacetime, Zhenguo has set up Nanyue as a strategic military location. Now that the six-nation coalition forces are attacking, Nanyue will be more fully prepared and it will be more difficult to attack.
"Does General Gu have a good strategy for destroying the city?" Lingshuang couldn't help but ask.
Gu Anmin shook his head and said: "There is no good way to attack Nanyue. The only way is to attack by force, but..." At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Lingshuang asked: "But what? General Gu, please tell me something!"
Gu Anmin rolled his eyes and said, "However, I do have some friendship with Gong Song, the head of Xiangshan County. If I go to persuade him, I might be able to persuade Gong Song to surrender."
Yo! Tang Yin and Lingshuang were surprised and happy. It would be great if they could really persuade Gong Song to surrender and capture Nanyue City without any bloodshed.
Lingshuang said: "Since General Gu has a relationship with Gong Song, we should have told him earlier, so our army wouldn't have to work so hard to capture each city."
Gu Anmin shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Jade King doesn't know. The general's friendship with Mr. Gong Song is only average. We have had dinner together a few times. Whether he can impress Mr. Gong or not, the general is also in his heart." There is no bottom. Now that Lord Gong is defending Nanyue, the general can only give it a bold try. "
"So that's it." Lingshuang thought for a while and felt something was wrong. She shook her head and said, "If the friendship is just mediocre, then it would be better for General Gu not to personally take risks. After all, General Gu is now the anti-Zhen king, and Gong Song is the King of Zunzhen. If you go to persuade him rashly, you may not be able to convince Gong Song, but you will beat the dog like a meat bun, and there will be no return. "
Tang Yin nodded, feeling that what Lingshuang said was reasonable. Now Gu Anmin is still of great use to our side. How can we let him take risks easily? If he dies, the loss to our side will be too great. He said: "General Gu can just find someone to do it for him to persuade us to surrender."
Gu Anmin shook his head and said: "That would be too insincere. If I were Gong Song, I would never agree. Therefore, it is safest for General Mo to go."
