Chapter 452
Tang Yin sat down in the Chinese army tent, with Shangguan Yuanrang, Xiao Muqing and other generals on both sides. Not long after, Jiang Fan was brought into the tent by two Feng soldiers.
Seeing Jiang Fan, Tang Yin's originally indifferent face immediately changed into a smile. He waved to the soldiers and said, "Loosen the rope on Jiang Fan!" "Yes!" The two soldiers agreed, and skillfully The rope around Jiang Fan was untied.
Jiang Fan was secretly surprised and looked at Tang Yin in confusion. As an enemy general, and he had also injured Zhan Hu, one of the generals of the Feng Army, how could Tang Yin be so polite to him?
Tang Yin smiled, motioned for Jiang Fan to take a seat, and asked casually, "Jiang Fan, how many years have you been joining the army?" Jiang Fan stood up without moving, and replied expressionlessly: "It's been three years." Oh, it seems that Jiang Fan has not surrendered to the army for a long time, and there is a lot of hope in winning him over to his side. He said quietly: "Jiang Fan, this time you used Gu Feng to fake surrender and lure our army to attack Beicheng. I have already seen through it. Now, Zhan Wudi and Hao Zhao are dead, and all the soldiers you brought have been killed." The army was wiped out. Logically speaking, as a traitor to me, Dafeng, I should kill you immediately. However, now is the time for me, Dafeng, to employ people. I miss your ability, so I will give you a chance. If you are willing to surrender to our army, I will forgive you for what you did in the past. As long as you are loyal, I can also give you a promotion." After hearing what Tang Yin said, Jiang Fan's expression did not change, and he was still cold and calm. . He lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Master Xiao Shangxiao has been kind to me." Thinking that he had something to say, Tang Yin and all the generals in the camp were waiting for Jiang Fan to say something. However, after saying this, he His mouth immediately closed tightly, with no intention of saying another word.
Or Tang Yin couldn't help but ask: "Then what?" Jiang Fan raised his head, met Tang Yin's eyes, and said: "Isn't this enough to make me loyal to Mr. Xiao until death?" Zhiyu For a person who values love and justice, his kindness is indeed weighty enough to repay with his life. What's more, Jiang Fan is also a dark spiritual cultivator. At first, Xiao Shangneng took him in regardless of his origin, and also reused him and gave him a high-ranking position. Jiang Fan's heart has always been filled with gratitude for his generous salary, so no matter what Xiao Shang's ability is, he is willing to die with him and never waver in this life.
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were both dark spiritual cultivators, and they both understood Jiang Fan's words, and they both frowned in unison.
On the contrary, Shangguan Yuanrang felt that Jiang Fan was being pretentious and was using some kind of kindness as an excuse. He took a step forward, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin and said, "My lord, since Jiang Fan is determined to be a traitor to Da Feng, there is no need to talk nonsense with him. My lord, just push this thief out and behead him." Jiang Fan took a step forward and saluted Tang Yin. Fan looked at Shangguan Yuan Rang and said nothing. He lowered his head and put his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to kill or behead you.
It is very easy to kill Jiang Fan, it is just a matter of one's own words, but in the future it will be too difficult, and even impossible, to find a dark spiritual martial genius like Jiang Fan who is so powerful at such a young age. , no other one can be found in Feng Country.
Tang Yin still had a smile on his face, but he was thinking over and over again in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he raised his hand. Just when everyone thought he was going to order Jiang Fan to be executed, Tang Yin just said softly: "Take Jiang Fan down first and imprison him." "Sir..." Shangguan Yuanrang frowned upon hearing this and wanted to continue speaking. Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted what he was saying, and said: "Yuanrang, there is no need to say any more. , I have my own decision in my heart." Alas! Shangguan Yuanrang sighed secretly, raised his hands and said: "Yes, sir!" He couldn't see the difference between Jiang Fan and Hao Zhao. Why could the Lord kill Hao Zhao so simply, but for this Jiang Fan? But he was hesitant.
After Jiang Fan was taken away by the soldiers, Tang Yin asked Letian and Ai Jia: "Have Jiang Fan's life experience been investigated clearly?" As early as when Jiang Fan showed off his skills in front of the two armies and shot Zhan Hu, Tianyan and The spies of the Diwang had already launched an investigation into Jiang Fan. Now when Tang Yin asked, Ai Jia stepped out and said, "Sir, we have already investigated." "Tell me about it!" Tang Yin raised his head and said.
"Jiang Fan is from Changning Town. His family is poor. He has no father and only one mother. He has practiced dark spiritual martial arts since he was a child. He joined the army at the age of twenty-three. It has been more than three years now..." Diwang's investigation is very careful. It can be said that After digging through eight generations of Jiang Fan's ancestors, Ai Jia saw that Tang Yin listened carefully and she explained in great detail.
After Ai Jia came to an end, Tang Yin asked: "Is Jiang Fan's mother now in Zhangyu City or in Changning Town?" Changning Town is one of the towns in Gaochuan County. Although it is not far from Zhangyu, the road is relatively long. It’s difficult to walk. If you want to get to Changning Town from Zhangyu, it will take one or two days.
Ai Jia replied: "We are still in Changning Town." "Huh!" Shangguan Yuanrang snorted coldly when he heard this, and said angrily: "I know what a loyal person Jiang Fan is, but it turns out he is just a dishonor who has forgotten his roots. A filial person, he enjoys the glory and wealth in the county, but leaves his mother alone in a remote place. It's ridiculous and shameful!" Tang Yin rubbed his chin and didn't express his position. He just looked at Ai Jia, waiting for her to continue. .
Ai Jia smiled at Shangguan Yuan Rang and said: "General Yuan Rang may have misunderstood. The reason why Jiang Mu came to the county seat, I think, is probably Jiang Mu's own wish and has nothing to do with Jiang Fan. Through the following brothers According to the investigation, Jiang Fan is a man who attaches great importance to filial piety. No matter how busy he is in the military, he will always take time to go home to visit his mother every month. Moreover, most of the salary he earned under Xiao Shang is given to his mother. " Shangguan Yuanrang asked unconvinced: "How do you know this?" Ai Jia smiled and said: "In Changning Town, it is not difficult to investigate this through the servants of Jiang Mansion and the neighbors." After listening to Ai Jia. Shangguan Yuanrang had nothing to say. After holding it in for a long time, he muttered: "No matter what, Jiang Fan's loyalty must have been expressed in the wrong place. Now, he is both a traitor to me and Dafeng." I am the sinner of Gale!" No one could deny this, and Ai Jia also nodded and sighed with regret.
Tang Yin had been listening carefully to the conversation between Shangguan Yuanrang and Ai Jia, and his eyes were rolling. Since Jiang Fan's mother was not in Zhangyu City, it would be easy for her to capture her. Ai Jia also said that Jiang Fan's mother was not in Zhangyu City. As a person who attaches great importance to filial piety, he can use his mother as a threat to force Jiang Fan to surrender to him.
But on second thought, Tang Yin felt that it was inappropriate. If he used his mother to force Jiang Fan to submit, even if he succeeded, he would only be able to threaten him for a while, but not for the rest of his life. Jiang Fan's loyalty was still in question, which was a huge hidden danger. . What should I do? After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Yin suddenly asked: "Does Mother Jiang claim to be a Wind person or a Peng person?" Unexpectedly, she would ask this question suddenly. Ai Jia was startled and did not answer immediately. Letian continued: "Sir, according to the A servant of the Jiang Mansion revealed that Jiang's mother also complained about Lord Zhong Tianshi's rebellion and proclaimed himself king, and she had lost her temper several times over Jiang Fan's joining the Peng Army!" "Oh, that's very good." Tang Yin nodded with a smile. He said to Letian and Ai Jia: "Letian and Ai Jia, this time you two go to Changning Town in person, take Jiang Mu into our army camp, and ask Jiang Mu to persuade Jiang Fan to submit to our army. Also. Yes, after meeting Mother Jiang, you two must be polite and sincere, and you must not be rude, understand?" "Understood!" Lotte and Ai Jia both nodded. Xiao Muqing's eyes were shining at the side, and she secretly admired Tang Yin's quick reaction, which was beyond imagination. He just thought of a solution while Letian and Ai Jia were talking about it.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the tent. Not long after, Ziying came closer from outside. He came to Tang Yin, holding the command arrow in both hands, handed it forward, and then said respectfully: "My lord, I will give you the order." !" Tang Yin looked at Ziying and saw that his armor was neat and his face was full of energy. He took the arrow and said with a smile: "General Ziying, what's the situation like on your side?" Ying used a deceptive strategy to confuse Zhan Wushuang, making him mistakenly believe that the Sky Eagle Army was the main force of the Feng Army. He immediately sent Zhan Wudi, Jiang Fan and other generals to sneak attack the Tianyuan Army's Chinese camp, which turned out to be a counterattack against Tang Yinzhi. count. The Sky Eagle Army came out with great force, but when it came time to attack the city, they stopped and just shouted outside the city. The Peng Army on top of the city were all strong men who had temporarily joined the army and were not familiar with archery. , shooting arrows outwards from the top of the city, being condescending, and originally had the advantage, but the fact is exactly the opposite. The Peng Army's arrow array poses no danger to the Sky Eagle Army outside the city, and the Sky Eagle Army is not close to the city, rolling logs, Stones, kerosene and other objects were all of no use.
Until Letian came to deliver the order to retreat, the Sky Eagle Army had not formally fought with the Peng Army on the city. After Letian left, Ziying no longer wasted the strength of the soldiers, and immediately conveyed the military order, and the rear team became the front team. The whole army returned to their own camp.
Seeing that the fierce and numerous Feng Army suddenly chose to retreat without even attacking the city, Zhan Wushuang suddenly realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly sent out spies to find out how the battle was going on Zhan Wudi's side.
Soon, the spies brought back shocking and unbelievable news. Zhan Wudi and his group were ambushed by the Tianyuan Army and were trapped in the Tianyuan Army's central camp.
oops! After hearing this, Zhan Wushuang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted on the spot.
Fell into a trap! Not only did the brothers fall into the trap, but I also fell into the enemy’s trap! There is no need to investigate further. The enemy army in front of them is definitely not the main force of the Feng Army. They came out of the camp and assumed a posture of attacking the city. They were just bluffing to confuse their own side.
Thinking of this, Zhan Wushuang sweated on his forehead anxiously, and immediately issued an order that the enemy troops outside the city must not be allowed to retreat, and his own side immediately went out of the city to pursue them. By the time Peng's army followed Zhan Wushuang's order and chased them out of Zhangyu City, the Sky Eagle army had all retreated to its Beida camp. Under Ziying's personal command, the camp gates were closed, and all the soldiers climbed up to the wall. Or guard various strongholds and key points, and be ready.
