Chapter 603
Hedong, Qingyuan City.
When Tang Yin woke up, it was already two days after he fell asleep, and he was already in Qingyuan City. In the past two days, Tang Yin also got up and took some supplements, but that was completely in his unconscious state, and now he is completely awake.
He rolled over and sat up from the bed, shook his groggy head, and looked around. He was in a gorgeously decorated bedroom with no other people around him. What is this place? Tang Yin, who had just woken up, couldn't react. He floated out of bed and stretched his tight waist.
As his body twisted, his bones made a series of rattling sounds, and every muscle on his body felt sore and painful. Tang Yin understood that it was a normal reaction after being overtired. After a while, he remembered that he was rescued from the valley by his own main army, and then he fell asleep.
Thinking, he looked down and saw that his original clothes were gone. He was only wearing a simple and loose white brocade middle coat. His body seemed to have been washed, and it was clean without any odor of sweat. Tang Yin smiled, raised his head, and was about to call someone when the door suddenly opened and two young girls dressed as maids approached from outside.
In each hand, the two men held a copper basin filled with warm water. The two little girls obviously didn't expect that Tang Yin, who had been lying on the bed and sleeping, would suddenly get off the ground, and his eyes like lightning were looking at them unblinkingly. The two of them both lost their beauty, screamed in surprise, and their bodies trembled. The two copper basins fell to the ground, making a crisp clanging sound.
Less than two seconds after the sound was heard, Shangguan Yuanwu, Shangguan Yuanbiao and more than a dozen guards armed with spears rushed in from outside and shouted: "What's going on?"
The two little maids were so frightened that they fell to the ground on the spot, pointing at Tang Yin, trembling and unable to say a word. The Shangguan brothers and the guards below saw Tang Yin standing in the room. People were stunned at first, and then they all knelt down on one knee and said in surprise and joy: "Your Majesty, are you awake?!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin responded with a slightly hoarse voice, then smiled at Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao and asked, "Are you two okay?"
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao stood up in a hurry. The latter took a step forward and said with a grin: "Your Majesty, we are fine."
"It's fine." Tang Yin nodded and asked, "Where are Yuan Rang and the other brothers?"
"Medical Officer Su said that the second brother's injury is very serious, but there is no danger to his life. Most of the other brothers are fine, so the king does not need to worry about it." Shangguan Yuanwu supported Tang Yin and said: "The king just woke up, and his body must be still there. "I'm weak. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go find the medical officer right away."
Tang Yin sat on the bed, waved his hand to Shangguan Yuanwu, and said: "I'm fine, don't bother the medical officer." As he spoke, he touched his stomach and said with a smile: "I'm a little hungry. I'll ask someone to send me there." Come get some food and drinks.”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yuanwu agreed, turned around and walked out quickly, taking out the guards who were approaching.
After Yuan Wu left, Tang Yin saw the two little maids still kneeling on the ground, their skirts were soaked by the water on the ground. He waved his hands to them and said with a smile: "You two, get up!" He turned to ask around him Yuan Biao said: "These two little girls are..."
"Your Majesty, they are the maids of the county capital." Shangguan Yuan Biao replied. Seeing Tang Yin's surprised expression, he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is the county capital of Qingyuan City."
"Oh!" Tang Yin chuckled. He had just escaped from sleep when he fell asleep. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he was already in Qingyuan City. After a moment of pause, he asked: "How long have I slept?"
"Two whole days."
"Two days? It's been so long." In Tang Yin's impression, he had never slept for such a long time. No wonder his body felt rusty. He suddenly remembered something and asked urgently: "Where is Changsun Yuanhong? Have our army caught up with Changsun Yuanhong?"
Shangguan Yuanbiao grinned secretly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when General Xiao and others chased outside Qingyuan City, all Ning troops had already withdrawn to the west. Now Changsun Yuanhong and more than 100,000 Ning troops under his command have retreated. Go to Hexi and set up camp on the west bank of Zhang River. It seems that Ning Guo has given up on Hedong! "
"So that's it." Tang Yin's displeasure gradually disappeared, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. Hedong, which he had dreamed of, finally became his possession. With Hedong as a supply, Feng State's national and military power would be greatly improved, and he would no longer have to worry about food and grass in the future.
He stood up excitedly, waved to the two little maids and said, "You two, go back and change your skirts to avoid catching a cold."
The two little maids simply doubted whether their ears had heard it wrong. This was not something a king of a country could say, and it was said by Tang Yin, the cruel leader of the Feng Army. The little maids looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost, said a blessing, turned around and left.
Shangguan Yuan Biao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the maid from Ning Kingdom has never seen the world, so don't be surprised."
Hearing this, Tang Yin turned around and looked at Shangguan Yuanbiao strangely, and said: "From now on, Hedong belongs to our Feng Country. Not only does the land belong to the Feng Country, but the people here also belong to the Feng Country. There should no longer be distinctions between Feng people and Ning people. , all the people east of the river are wind people."
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty taught you a lesson!" Shangguan Yuanbiao also realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly bowed and responded repeatedly.
Just as the two maids left, the door opened again. The generals of the Feng Army, led by Xiao Muqing, heard the news that Tang Yin had woken up and rushed over immediately. They didn't even bother to knock on the door and rushed in directly from outside. Seeing Tang Yin standing in the room, everyone was smiling, stepped forward quickly, knelt down and saluted, and said in unison: "My king, you are finally awake!"
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and found Wu Ying in the crowd. His smile became even stronger. He waved to everyone and said with a smile: "Generals, please stand up. Everyone has worked hard during this period."
"Serving the king and being loyal to the country, we will die!" Everyone said in unison, and then stood up.
Tang Yin inspected everyone from beginning to end again. To his surprise, he did not see Wu Guang in the crowd. He asked, "Where is General Wu Guang? He is not in the county capital?"
Ziying bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, General Wu Guang was injured by Changsun Yuanhong in front of the two armies. He is not seriously injured, but he needs to rest for a while."
Tang Yin did not know about Wu Guang's injury. After hearing Ziying's explanation, he took a breath. Changsun Yuanhong was indeed powerful. He was injured by him, and Yuan Rang and Wu Guang were also injured by him. Of the four fierce generals under his command, only Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu are left.
He gradually restrained the smile on his face, squinted his eyes and said, "Changsun Yuanhong is a great enemy of our army. We must get rid of him no matter what. Otherwise, Ningguo will still be a big worry for me."
Xiao Muqing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Changsun Yuanhong has now retreated to Hexi..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin interrupted, "Then let's cross the Zhang River and fight to Hexi!"
Ah? All the generals were stunned. Fight to Hexi? This exceeded their predetermined goal. When we sent out the troops, we only planned to take over Hedong and recover the lost territory. Now that the entire Hedong has been controlled by our side and our mission has been completed, why does the king still want to fight across the Zhang River?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xiao Muqing asked: "King, since the Ning army has given up Hedong, can our army... also withdraw its troops?"
Tang Yin's eyes flashed, and he stared at Xiao Muqing. After a while, he looked around at the others, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "What is a mere Hedong? Are you generals satisfied so soon? Now Changsun Yuanhong is seriously injured, and his troops have been lost countlessly. There is no more troops to be sent in the capital of Ningguo. What stands in front of our army is a sick Changsun Yuanhong and his hundreds of thousands of remnants. As long as our army can kill Changsun Yuanhong and defeat his hundreds of thousands of Ning troops, our army can march straight in and take Liangzhou!"
He said The words made everyone shudder. Xiao Muqing swallowed his saliva and asked bravely: "What does the king mean..."
"Destroy Ning!" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and smiled sinisterly: "If you want to eliminate the trouble forever and ensure the long-term stability of my Dafeng West, there is only one way, destroy Ningguo, annex Ningguo, and make Ningguo a part of my Dafeng. In this way, my Dafeng will no longer have trouble in the west. Now is the best time to destroy Ning."
Tang Yin's ambition has been fully aroused by the war. No one does not want to be recorded in history, and no one does not want to be praised for generations. Tang Yin is no exception. If he can destroy Ningguo, not only can he make Fengguo the largest and strongest vassal state, but he can also be recorded in history forever, and even leave a strong mark in the history of the empire. What a glorious, honorable and exciting thing this is. Tang Yin does not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Destroy Ning? ! If it was a year ago, or half a year ago, these two words were something people would not even dare to think about, but now, Tang Yin said it lightly, and judging from the current war situation, it is not completely impossible to destroy Ning.
People were in shock for a long time before they came back to their senses. Zhan Hu stamped his feet fiercely, punched his fists together, and shouted excitedly: "Great! Destroy Ning! Great king, our army should immediately cross the Zhang River and take Ningdu Liangzhou directly!"
Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi looked at each other, neither of them expressed their opinions, but just cast their eyes on Ziying. Ziying understood what they meant, and the two of them pushed the words that were difficult to say to him. He didn't care, and bowed to Tang Yin and said: "Great king, although our army has the initiative and advantage now, it is not enough to destroy Ning!"
