Volume 10 Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Tang Yin decided to accept Gong Song's conditions. Li Xin agreed after a little consideration. Ling Shuang also had no objection. Although Yue Ze felt that it was too risky, the three kings had already agreed, so he could not stand up and oppose it. In the end, he nodded with the crowd.

After discussion, the four kings unanimously agreed to accept Gong Song's proposal to let the coalition army pass without surrendering.

Their decision was also passed to 'Gu Anmin' as soon as possible. Gu Anmin, who had been closing his eyes and silent, suddenly opened his eyes and said to Gong Song, who was waiting on the side: "Lord Gong, let's do it according to your wishes!"

Gong Song was stunned for a moment and asked: "General Gu, have you thought it through?"

Gu Anmin nodded and said: "Yes, I will go back and inform the lords and let the whole army prepare to cross the city."

From his tone, he was completely like the commander of the whole army. This surprised Gong Song again, and he couldn't guess why he had such a heavy weight in the coalition.

Although he felt strange, Gong Song still bowed and said, "Then I'll trouble General Gu. I will also have people open the city gates and wait for the allied soldiers to pass through the city at any time."

Gu Anmin narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, "How does Lord Gong want the allied forces to pass through the city?"

Tang Yin thought that no matter how bold Gong Song was, he would not let his side pass through the city freely. There would definitely be restrictions, and most likely he would let his side pass in batches.

But to his surprise, Gong Song did not make such a request, and said with a smile, "The allied forces can go wherever they want. I will not ask, let alone stop them."

Huh? This was quite beyond Tang Yin's expectations. Gu Anmin stared at Gong Song for a long while, and finally nodded and smiled, saying, "It's better to obey than to be respectful. I thank Lord Gong for his trust."

Gu Anmin was carried back to the allied camp by the guards, and then he told Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin the results of his negotiation with Gong Song in detail.

After hearing his words, Yue Ze was overjoyed and said to the other three kings: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Since the other side does not limit the number of our troops passing through the city, let's take the initiative..."

Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Since Gong Song can trust us so much, then why can't we trust him? Besides, with Gong Song helping us guard Nanyue, we can save a lot of manpower!"

Yue Ze wanted to speak, but Tang Yin shook his head to the people on his left and right, then jumped on his horse and headed straight for Nanyue City.

Seeing him go first, Ling Shuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin were all startled, looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth, gritted their teeth, and followed Tang Yin with courage.

When they entered the range of Nanyue, people's hearts unconsciously rose to their throats. With the strength of the Nanyue defenders, I'm afraid that with just one round of arrows, none of them would survive.

But the Nanyue defenders did not attack. Just as Gong Song said, the city gates were wide open, and the defenders were divided on both sides. The civil and military officials led by Gong Song gathered in front of the city gates, without any intention of starting a war.

Not long after, Tang Yin rode a tall horse and walked slowly to Gong Song and others.

His eyes were scanning Gong Song and others, and the other party was also looking at him. They saw that the man was young, but very imposing. He wore a golden crown on his head, a gorgeous black brocade, and a red exquisite cloak. He was surrounded by armored guards and generals.

Tang Yin dismounted and smiled at Gong Song, who was standing in front of the crowd, and said, "I guess you are Lord Gong?"

"You are..."

"Seeing His Highness the Wind King, why don't you greet him?" Without Tang Yin's answer, Ah San and Ah Si behind him had already shouted in a deep voice.

Ah! This is the Wind King Tang Yin? ! Gong Song and other civil and military officials were all shocked. They all bowed and saluted, saying in unison: "Your Highness, the Wind King!"

Gong Song and others all bowed, not knelt. After all, Tang Yin was not the King of Zhen, and they were not surrendering, so it was impossible for them to kneel and salute.

Tang Yin did not mind these things. He waved his hands to everyone and said: "You all don't have to be polite. I would like to thank Lord Gong for his deep understanding of justice and for letting my coalition army pass unconditionally."

"Your Highness, the Wind King, please kill us!" Gong Song lowered his head even lower.

Tang Yin helped him up and said with a smile: "Lord Gong, let's go into the city!"

His casual words made everyone present change their faces.

Before finding out whether there was an ambush or danger in the city, Tang Yin, as a monarch, was the first to enter the city. He was really too brave.

Gong Song was also secretly shocked. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Isn't His Highness Feng Wang worried that we will set up an ambush in the city?"

Tang Yin asked back with a smile, "Since Lord Gong is willing to let the coalition army pass, isn't he worried that the coalition army will suddenly be in trouble after entering the city?"

Gong Song said seriously, "I believe in you princes and nobles, and I believe that you princes and nobles will never do such despicable and shameless things."

Tang Yin nodded and said, "Similarly, I also believe in Lord Gong's character and believe that Lord Gong will keep his word."

He said it easily, but it moved Gong Song deeply. It seems that his gamble was right. The coalition army is indeed worthy of his trust. No wonder Gu Anmin turned to the coalition army. He said seriously, "Thank you, His Highness Feng Wang, for your trust in me."

Tang Yin said calmly, "I have always believed that trust should be mutual. Since Lord Gong can trust the coalition army so much, how can I not set an example?!" As he spoke, he smiled and raised his head, saying, "Lord Gong, please lead the way."

Looking at Tang Yin, who is young, handsome but broad-minded, straightforward and heroic, Gong Song can't help but feel heartbroken. No wonder Fengguo has risen rapidly in the north. If Zhenguo also had such a monarch, how could it have fallen to this day? The tragedy?

For Tang Yin, Gong Song felt all kinds of things in his heart. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as envy, jealousy, and hatred. Of course, his feelings were not for Tang Yin as a person, but for the entire Feng Kingdom.

Under the guidance of Gong Song, Tang Yin took the lead in entering Nanyue City, protected by a group of generals and guards.

It wasn't until he entered for a while that no chaos broke out in the city. Only then did the three kings behind him, Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin, dare to take courage and lead their respective armies to enter one after another.

Gong Song admired Tang Yin's courage and ambition very much. Although the four kings had entered the city, he always stayed by Tang Yin's side.

Nanyue City is very unique. The buildings in the city are mainly made of earth and stone, and wooden houses are rarely seen. After entering the city, Tang Yin's eyes kept looking around, marveling as he looked.

Since the entire city is built on a hillside, the buildings in the city are also hierarchical, with one floor higher than the other. This may not be visible outside the city, but once you are there, you will immediately realize that the layout of the city is also different. Simple.

If the invading enemy thinks that breaking through the outer city wall of Nanyue City is equivalent to breaking through the city defense, then they are completely wrong. At best, they will occupy the lowest level of Nanyue City. If they go further in, there will be tall and tall people in rows ahead. These buildings are built on the mountainside with cliffs as support. The cliffs become natural city walls. If foreign enemies want to penetrate deeper, they have to set up ladders to continue breaking through these high cliffs. If you want to capture the entire city, you have to break through layer by layer until you reach the top of the cliff.

In such a dangerous city, if the defenders maintain their tenacious will to resist, no matter how powerful the invading enemy is, a frontal attack would be almost suicide.

Regarding the layout of Nanyue City, Tang Yin became more and more frightened as he looked at it. Fortunately, Gong Song gave him permission. Otherwise, it is estimated that Nanyue City would not be a problem in blocking his own army of one million for a year and a half.

Seeing Tang Yin walking and looking around, with surprise in his eyes from time to time, Gong Song explained: "Nanyue City was built in the period of King Shangwu, more than 800 years ago. It is said that in order to build Nanyue City, only manpower was needed. It cost no less than one million, and it took a total of thirty years.”

The name of the martial king he mentioned was Li Zhen. He was the most famous monarch in the history of the Zhen Kingdom, and had the deepest influence on the Zhen Kingdom. The Zhen Kingdom could grow from weak to strong, from small to large, and Li Zhen had great achievements. But it was precisely because of him that the border disputes between Zhen Kingdom continued.

When the kingdom was first divided, Zhenguo was just a small country, and its territory was far less large than it is now. By Li Zhen's generation, Zhenguo, with its strong military and horses, began to expand outwards, especially the annexation and occupation of barbarian territories in the west, almost to the point of madness. , the decades-long war expanded Zhenguo's territory more than several times. However, Zhenguo's combat power will not always be strong, and it is impossible for Zhenguo to have a king as talented and powerful as Li Zhen from generation to generation. After Li Zhen, many foreign countries in the west began to frequently ask for their own territory from Zhenguo. But how could Zhenguo return the annexed land? This was the beginning of centuries of border disputes.

Even when the four kingdoms of Sichuan, An, Huan, and Mozambique later divided the Zhen Kingdom, the border troubles were not resolved. It became a heavy burden and a trouble that these four countries could not get rid of. Of course, this is a story for another day.

Tang Yin was very interested in the history of Zhenguo. Gong Song was willing to talk about it, and he listened with great interest.

Everyone walked all the way up the hillside, and before they knew it, they were in front of the west city gate.

While sending Tang Yin out of the city, Gong Song said sincerely: "Wei Chen feels that His Highness King Feng is different from all the kings in the world!"

Tang Yin was stunned and asked with a smile: "Why did Mr. Gong say that?"

In fact, Gong Song couldn't explain clearly what made Tang Yin different from others. Are you brave? There are countless courageous monarchs in various dynasties in various countries, especially in the Zheng Kingdom. Li Hong dared to proclaim himself emperor and declared himself emperor. His courage was boundless. Are you big-hearted? There are many such monarchs. Take Sichuan King Xiao Xuan as an example. He is famous for his broad mind and his ability to embrace all rivers. Specifically speaking, Gong Song couldn't explain what was so special about Tang Yin, but he just felt that he had qualities that were different from others.

He did not answer Tang Yin, and could not answer. When he walked out of the city gate, he stood still, cupped his hands and said: "I would like to pay attention to His Highness Feng Wang. In the future, if His Highness Feng Wang has any instructions, just send someone By the way, I will definitely obey your orders!"
