Chapter 239

Zhang Zhe's opinion shook Tang Yin's spirit, and he secretly thought it was reasonable. The latest chapter! The unhappiness in his heart was swept away and he asked: "In your opinion, Master Zhang, our army needs to retreat immediately to attack Huaiyang?"

"There is no need to mobilize the entire army!" Zhang Zhe waved his hand and said: "Yu Tao has neither strong soldiers nor good generals. Your Excellency only needs to send a capable general to lead the troops."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, looked around everyone, and asked, "Who is willing to go attack Huaiyang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi stepped forward at the same time, stepped in and saluted, "I'm willing to go!" After speaking, they both looked sideways at each other.

Both Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi can be called outstanding generals in commanding troops. No matter who he asks to go, Tang Yin is very confident. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let General Xiao lead the troops into battle this time! I wonder how many troops General Xiao plans to bring?"

Capturing Huaiyang was equivalent to taking control of Jinguang County. Although Tang Yin promoted Liang Qi to be the commander-in-chief of the Sanshui Army, he had to worry about his Liang family background.

Xiao Muqing was shocked and said hurriedly: "It is enough for me to bring only 100,000 soldiers of the Pingyuan Army!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to General Xiao."

"You're welcome, sir!"

Tang Yin turned to look at Liang Qi and comforted him: "Currently our biggest enemy is the Ning Army. General Liang should stay behind in the army. Follow me to resist the powerful enemy!"

"Yes! Sir!" Liang Qi didn't say anything more, bowed and retreated. He is not a fool, and of course he can see that Tang Yin does not trust him 100%. Through contact, he can also see that Tang Yin is a very suspicious person, and it is not easy to gain his trust.

At this time, Qiu Zhen asked in a low voice: "I heard that your Excellency has captured several prisoners of the Ning Army and are still imprisoning them in the city?"

"Yes!" Tang Yin asked, "Is there any problem?"

Qiu Zhen smiled, changed the topic, and suddenly asked: "Does the agreement between Sir and Zhan Wushuang still count?"

"This..." Tang Yin and Zhan Wushuang agreed that Ning's army would retreat, and he would release them after ten days. Calculating the time, it was almost ten days, but it was no better than before. In the past, he defended Jinhua City alone against 400,000 people. The Ning Army is naturally afraid of three points, but now that the main force of his side has arrived, and there are many soldiers and generals, he is naturally no longer afraid of the Ning Army. As for the promise he made at the beginning, he does not want to keep it. In addition, from a selfish point of view, he and Cai Youling already had a physical relationship, and he did not want to put her back. The latter point was the main reason why he didn't want to let him go. Of course, it was difficult to say this reason.

He paused for a moment, then raised his head and smiled, and said: "Cai Youling has a prominent background in Ningguo and is different from ordinary people. If she stays in our hands, she will be of great use in the future. How can I let her go so easily?"

Qiu Zhen sighed secretly. Before arriving at Jinhua City, he heard the news from Ai Jia's detective, and he had a clear understanding of Tang Yin's capture of Cai Youling and others and forcing the Ning army to withdraw. At the same time, he also learned more or less about the relationship between Tang Yin and Cai Youling. Relationship, this is what worries him the most.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, once you have an affair with an enemy personnel and have selfish motives, it will most likely affect the commander-in-chief's decision-making, such as now. Qiu Zhense said: "People cannot stand without faith, especially in troubled times now. If you want to make a difference, you should convince others with integrity. If you go back on your word, be capricious, and make fun of military orders, won't you be ruined by the world?" People make fun of?”

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, secretly annoyed that Qiu Zhen was exaggerating and making alarmist remarks. He said quietly: "Ning Jun is our enemy, how can we be honest with our enemies?"

When it comes to major issues, no matter whether Tang Yin's mood is good or bad, Qiu Zhen will not give in.

He said: "You should keep your word when dealing with your enemies, so as not to fall into someone else's shoes and make a big fuss about it, ruining your reputation!"

His concerns are not unreasonable. If Ning Jun publicizes Tang Yin's lust for women and his refusal to fulfill his promise, not to mention that people in other vassal states will laugh at it, even Feng Ren himself will feel ashamed. Now the king of Feng Kingdom is Zhong Tian. When Zhong Tian is destroyed in the future, Tang Yin will naturally be one of the candidates to compete for the throne. At this time, he should be more careful and not let others take the blame. After all, no common people would want a lustful person to be their king.

Seeing Qiu Zhen's insistence, Tang Yin's dissatisfaction gradually disappeared. Instead, he quickly calmed down and considered whether he was really at fault. He was not as far-reaching as Qiu Zhen thought. He even thought about competing for the throne in the future. Now he was just thinking about whether his failure to keep his promise would be as serious as Qiu Zhen said.

At this time, Zhang Zhe also stood up and advised: "Sir, what Master Qiu said is right. In troubled times, winning people's hearts is very important. You must not fall for other people's lies, causing the hard-earned support of our army to be wasted. "Zhang Zhe can understand Qiu Zhen's thoughts, but it is too early to talk about competing for the throne, and it is not suitable, so he brought out the big hat of Tianyuan Army to suppress Tang Yin.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Zhe's words, Tang Yin lost most of his momentum. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He looked at Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe, and then at everyone else. The entire room of civilians and military generals also looked at him with big eyes and small eyes. , including Xiaona and others, although the latter people have no idea what is going on.

Tang Yin took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Don't stare at me, I'll just let you go!"

"Your Excellency is wise!" The civil and military generals headed by Qiu Zhen all saluted and praised in unison.

Tang Yin is not a saint. Like ordinary people, he has many shortcomings and flaws. However, he can listen to the reasonable opinions of people around him, which is enough to erase many of his shortcomings.

After accepting Qiu Zhen's opinion, Tang Yin decided to release Cai Youling and Shen Cuiling who were imprisoned in the city.

At this time, Cai Youling was still in Su Yelei's tent. Tang Yin sent someone to bring Cai Youling out.

Su Yelei came with him, as if she was afraid that Tang Yin would make indecent moves against Cai Youling again.

Seeing Tang Yin in the central army tent, not knowing what he was going to do this time, Cai Youling had a pitiful expression on her face and held Su Yelei's hand tightly. Seeing this, Tang Yin was angry and amused, and said slowly: "Don't pretend anymore. I have decided to let you go back to the Ning Army camp!"

"Really?" Hearing this, Cai Youling was shocked, raised her head excitedly, and looked straight at Tang Yin.

"What? Miss Youling can't bear to leave me and doesn't want to go back?" Seeing her fickle appearance, Tang Yin couldn't help but want to tease her.

Cai Youling's face turned red, and she opened her mouth to mock Tang Yin, but then she thought that she was still in someone else's camp. If she angered Tang Yin, it would only be disadvantageous to her. She resisted it, and trembled twice as if she was frightened, and she couldn't help but lean towards Su Yelei.

Su Yelei didn't have such a heavy mind as her, and only regarded her as a delicate lady from a wealthy family. Feeling her fear, Su Yelei looked directly at Tang Yin and asked, "Are you really going to let her go?"

"Of course! There is no joking in the army, right?" Tang Yin said with a smile.

"You still have a conscience!" Su Yelei muttered, turned around and comforted Cai Youling, "Don't worry, Lord Tang is a man of his word, and he won't go back on his word."

She was comforting Cai Youling, but actually she was saying it to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin secretly felt amused. It seemed that in Su Yelei's eyes, he was already an unforgivable villain. Anyway, he never thought that he was a good person.

He took two steps forward, stood in front of Cai Youling, and said: "When you return to the Ningjun camp and see Zhan Wushuang, tell him a message for me. I, Tang Yin, am now outside Jinhua City. If Zhan Wushuang knows what's good for him, it's not too late for him to lead his people back to Ningguo. If he dares to invade again, he'd better be careful that he will come with a life but go home without a life!"

Cai Youling's face changed, and she looked at Tang Yin without saying a word.

"That's all I want to say. The car has been arranged, just at the gate. You should be careful on the road." After speaking, Tang Yin looked at her deeply, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the military tent. Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw a sentence: "Maybe it won't be long before we meet again, haha——"

Yes! But at that time, it's not certain who will be the master and who will be the prisoner! Seeing Tang Yin walking away in a swagger, Cai Youling's teeth itched with hatred, and she was also muttering in her heart.

Tang Yin did not lie, the carriage had indeed stopped at the gate, and Shen Cuiling had been taken into the carriage early. She trembled and curled up in the corner at the innermost end of the carriage. Seeing Cai Youling was also brought in, she rushed forward, grabbed Cai Youling's hand, and asked nervously and stammered: "You... Youling, where are they... going to take us..."

Seeing her cowardly appearance, Cai Youling felt annoyed, and waved her arm violently, pushing her away fiercely, and said expressionlessly: "What are you afraid of? They are going to send us back to the camp!"

"Is... is it true..." Shen Cuiling asked in a low and trembling voice.

Cai Youling was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned her head away, and ignored her.

Her eyes kept rolling, her face was sometimes happy, sometimes worried, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Soon, the carriage left the gate, left the Feng Army camp, and headed straight to the Ning Army camp in the south.

There was no conversation on the way. Within two days, the carriage arrived at the Ning Army camp.

Hearing that their captives were really sent back by Tang Yin, the two brothers of the Zhan family breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent their trusted generals to greet them.

There was still some distance from the Ning Army camp, and the carriage was stopped by the Ning Army with thousands of people. The leading Ning general stepped forward and took Cai Youling and Shen Cuiling out of the car, and then said to the Feng Army coachman: "We have taken the people away, you can go back!"

The coachman only sent people away. Hearing this, he turned the carriage around and was about to return the same way. At this time, Cai Youling said to the Ning general: "General, please lend me your sword!"
