Volume 10 Chapter 626
"Haha, read the full text!" After listening to Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin's mood suddenly brightened, he laughed and exclaimed: "I have Qiu Zhen, which is better than having thousands of troops!"
Regarding Tang Yin's praise, none of the four people on the left and right, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Guyue, felt jealous or dissatisfied. They also sincerely admired Qiu Zhen's broad vision and long-term vision. TXT download.
Guyue said with a smile: "Since it is dragging, it will be easy. I think our army should not be idle and farm on the spot. The land on the east bank of the Zhang River is both fertile and wasteland. We can be self-sufficient!"
Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly and praised: "What General Gu Yue said is absolutely true. It is very good to cultivate farmland on the spot. Even if our army has to withdraw in the future, the cultivated fields can be distributed to the people. This will not only increase the grain production in Hedong, but also Let the people of Hedong share and be grateful for the king’s kindness.”
Tang Yin reached out and tapped Qiu Zhen, walked around the table with a smile, sat back on the mat, and muttered: "You should have come to Hedong a long time ago!" He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Muqing and said: "Mu Qing, go and get Ning Guo in a moment. The two envoys were sent away, and the peace negotiation was over! Oh, by the way, try to be polite in your words, and give them some gold and silver as a reward. It would be better to use words to hint to them that although our army does not accept the peace negotiation! , but we don’t plan to continue heading west.”
"You will finally understand." Xiao Muqing responded with a hand.
Tang Yin thought for a while and felt that there was nothing else to arrange. He waved his hands and said, "You guys should step aside first. Qiu Zhen and I still have some private matters to discuss."
Everyone was full of wonder, not knowing what private matter Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen wanted to discuss, but they didn't dare to ask. People stood up one after another, bowed to Tang Yin and left.
After the four people left, only Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the Shangguan brothers were left in the tent, separated on both sides like wooden stakes.
Tang Yin waved to Qiu Zhen and said, "Qiu Zhen, come and sit down."
Qiu Zhen was also curious and wanted to know what Tang Yin wanted to talk to him about. He picked up the mattress under his buttocks, moved it to the side of the handsome case, sat next to Tang Yin, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what can I do?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "You boasted that you were very talented and knowledgeable. Today I will test you on something."
Qiu Zhen smiled. He had indeed evaluated himself this way when he and Tang Yin met for the first time. He didn't expect that Tang Yin would still remember it after so long. He asked with a smile: "I wonder what the king wants to test the ministers about?"
"What do you know about poisons?"
"Poison?" Qiu Zhen didn't expect that Tang Yin would suddenly ask this. He looked confused and said cautiously: "I know a little bit about it."
"Then do you know which animal's venom can lie dormant for a long time after being ingested by a person, without causing an attack for more than ten days or even months?" Tang Yin stared at Qiu Zhen with his eyes wide open.
Qiu Zhen held his chin and pondered for a long time, then he said: "There are countless poisons in the world. There are too many poisons that will kill people immediately after being ingested. But if you want to say that there is no attack for more than ten days or even months, less There are only a handful of them, and often such poisonous attacks require a trigger.”
"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up and asked, "Tell me in detail. By the way, this poison cannot be detected with silver."
Qiu Zhen fell into deep thought again. He couldn't detect it with silver, but he could lurk for so long... After a while, Qiu Zhen showed a bitter smile, cupped his hands to Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my lack of talent and lack of knowledge. This kind of poison can only be treated by me." Know one."
Tang Yin asked: "Which one?"
"As far as I know, there is a poison called the Golden Frog. The skin of this frog will secrete a highly toxic substance. This poison is colorless and odorless. When put into food and drinks, a silver needle cannot detect it. Moreover, after being ingested by someone, It is not harmful to the human body and will always remain in the body. However, once the human body is traumatized, even if the skin is punctured by a very fine needle, the poison will attack immediately. There is no cure and it will kill you three times. With its incredible properties, this poison is called 'blood seals the throat'!"
"Three shots to kill?"
"After counting one, two, and three, the person will be dead."
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded thoughtfully, then lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and remained speechless. Knowing that Tang Yin was thinking about something, Qiu Zhen didn't bother him and sat silently aside. I don't know how long it took, Tang Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said quietly: "I understand, no wonder he did this, no wonder he talked about this, hum, what a cunning thief!"
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Qiu Zhen asked suspiciously.
Tang Yin waved his hand and signaled Qiu Zhen to wait, then he raised his head and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Following his words, the guards outside quickly entered the tent. Tang Yin said: "Find General Cheng Jincheng to come see me immediately!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After the guards went out, Tang Yin explained in detail to Qiu Zhen in a low voice.
Qiu Zhen arrived at the Fengjun camp. A few days passed in a flash. The holy ceremony was approaching day by day, and Tang Yin was also preparing to leave for Qingyuan City. The night before leaving the military camp, Tang Yin specially invited all the generals in the camp to have dinner together.
Although the banquet was held in a military camp, it was still very sumptuous, with many kinds of dishes, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. The aroma was filled inside and outside the camp.
Inside the account. Tang Yin sat in the middle, and the generals sat on both sides. A bonfire was lit in the center of the tent, with a fat roasted whole lamb on top.
There were no maids in the military camp, so Tang Yin's guards took on the role of maids, serving food and wine for everyone. At this time, even the injured Shangguan Yuanrang and Wu Guang arrived. In order to take care of their bodies, Tang Yin specially placed two soft bags in the tent.
Seeing that everyone was here and chatting happily, Tang Yin cleared his throat and then picked up the wine glass. Upon seeing this, everyone immediately stopped talking and focused their eyes on Tang Yin. At the same time, they also picked up their wine glasses.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up, and said seriously: "The first glass of wine is for our soldiers who died in the battle in Hedong!" As he spoke, he turned his wrist and slowly poured the wine in the cup. on the ground.
"Here's to the heroes of our army!" Everyone stood up in unison, followed Tang Yin's example, and sprinkled wine on the ground.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone, nodded slightly, then waved his hands and said, "Generals, please take a seat!"
Everyone raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin poured a second glass of wine and said to everyone: "This second glass of wine, I respect you all brothers. In this battle, I, Dafeng, can successfully regain Hedong, all thanks to your bloody battles, life and death, I will do it first as a tribute!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
"General, please pay homage to your Majesty!"
Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Brothers, tell me, how has our army been doing since the battle in Ruhedong?"
Xiao Muqing seemed to be afraid of being upstaged by others and losing the opportunity to flatter him, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Under your leadership, our army has won consecutive victories, defeated the Ning Army, and recovered the entire Hedong. Your Majesty's achievements are far behind." The kings of the Shengfeng Kingdom can be called the first person in the history of Dafeng!"
flutter! The people around him almost spit out the wine they just drank. Although people have long been accustomed to Xiao Muqing's flattery, it is obvious that his ability to flatter is still improving day by day, and now his exaggeration is boundless. Tang Yin burst out laughing. It was Xiao Muqing who made him laugh. He nodded at Xiao Muqing and said with a smile: "Mu Qing's talk is as good as leading an army in battle, which is great!"
"Hehe! Your Majesty, thank you!" Xiao Muqing didn't care what others thought of her, as long as she could please Tang Yin.
Tang Yin slowly stopped smiling, sighed quietly, and said: "Mu Qing, I am not as powerful as you said! This time in the battle against Ning, I only regained Hedong, but failed to destroy Ning!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Even now, the king is still obsessed with destroying Ning. In fact, from the bottom of their hearts, people don't have much hope in destroying Ning, and they are not very active in this matter. After all, the nine vassal states have coexisted for more than a thousand years, and the framework is very stable. One country wants to annex another country. , that is as difficult as climbing to the sky. If the wind could destroy Ning, it would have been destroyed long ago. Why wait until now?
Tang Yin understood what everyone was thinking, and he wanted to take this opportunity to discuss the matter carefully today.
He turned to look at Yuan Fang, who was sitting at the end, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Fang, what do you think of our Feng Kingdom's destruction of Ning?"
Yuan Fang's current official position is equivalent to that of an army staff officer, and his rank is the smallest among everyone. He did not expect that Tang Yin would suddenly throw this question to him. After being stunned for a while, Yuan Fang raised his hand and said: "Back to the king, the matter of destroying Ning" Not easy!”
Tang Yin nodded and said, "It's not easy! You are from Ning, so from the perspective of Ning State, is it possible for Feng State to destroy Ning?"
Yuan Fang frowned secretly, and slowly clenched his fists. He was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wei Chen's abilities are limited, so I dare not speak nonsense."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, in the world's major events, if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite! The princes in the empire have been divided for thousands of years. For the sake of land and cities, all the princes have been fighting for years. The wars are constant, the people are in dire straits, and the lives of the people are in ruins. If there is a person Wouldn't it be great to stand up and end this kind of strife and separatism, abolish the division of vassal states, and unify the world? This is also a blessing for the people of the world!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Everyone stared at Tang Yin with wide eyes, including Qiu Zhen. When the king says this, does he intend to destroy the eight kingdoms and let the Feng Kingdom dominate the world? This is incredible and a bit whimsical!
As if he could read everyone's thoughts, Tang Yin smiled lightly and said faintly: "This is not a fantasy! I must destroy the Ning Kingdom, and destroying Ning is only the first step! All the generals have followed me and started from scratch, and now they are here. As important ministers of the country, have they also begun to covet comfort and lose the original drive? When a man is alive, he should make great achievements and create immortal achievements. If he doesn't have the chance, that's it. But now Opportunities are before us. If our hands are only used to grab food to fill our stomachs every day, and not to hold swords to kill enemies, what else can we do with them? I believe that as long as all brothers can lend us their hands. Give it to me and follow me to conquer the world, then the world will be in our pocket!"
