Lin Han died, and the more than 100 Ning army soldiers who protected him were not spared, and none of them surrendered, all died in battle. TXT download.
The battle of Wohu Pass did not last long, from the beginning to the end, it lasted only more than three hours, but the significance of this battle was very important. The local army of Xiaoling County was completely wiped out by the Feng Army at Wohu Pass. After this battle, there was no large-scale resistance in Xiaoling County.
When the battle was over, the Feng Army cleaned up the battlefield and also made statistics on the losses of both sides. The total casualties of the Feng Army were nearly 10,000, of which more than half were from the new army, while the Ning Army alone had more than 20,000 soldiers killed, and more than 10,000 prisoners.
Next, the Feng army will continue to go deep into the hinterland of Ningguo. Tang Yin really can't spare the troops to guard so many prisoners. He directly ordered that all the captured Ning army soldiers be executed, and the task of execution fell on the head of the new army.
The reason why he assigned the new army to execute all the prisoners was mainly to make the Ning people in the new army have Ning people's blood on their hands, which was equivalent to forcing them to have no way out and follow the Feng army wholeheartedly.
Nan Ye disdained to kill prisoners, but he dared not disobey the king's military order, so he could only bite the bullet and execute it. More than 10,000 Ningguo local troops eventually died at the hands of the Ning people themselves. The ending was sad and lamentable.
In Wohu Pass, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river. Lin Han's body was also hung high on the top of Wohu Pass by the Feng Army to comfort the spirit of Zhou Chang who died in the previous battle.
The Feng army only took a short rest at Wohu Pass, and then continued to move westward. In the following battles, the Feng army encountered almost no resistance, and they took two cities in a row and successfully entered Yunkou County of Ningguo.
The local army of Yunkou County had followed Changsun Yuanhong to the south to fight against the Mo army. Yunkou County, which is vast, populous, and prosperous, now has few decent official troops, let alone a direct battle with the Feng army.
In Yunkou County, the main force attacking the Feng army is the local militia, but the combat power of the militia is not even as good as that of the local army. Their attack on the Feng army can only be a guerrilla war or harassment, which does not pose a substantial threat. At best, it slows down the speed of the Feng army's advance.
Lin Han was killed, the local army of Xiaoling County was annihilated, and the Feng army marched into Yunkou County with great momentum. One bad news after another continued to reach Liangzhou. For a time, Ningdu became panic-stricken, the situation was in chaos, and even the Ningguo court was in chaos.
Now, the Ningguo court is mainly divided into two factions. One faction advocates war and advocates fighting to the death with the Feng army in Liangzhou. The leader of this faction is the right prime minister Zhang Zhihong. The other faction advocates escape. Yan Chu takes the court to evacuate Liangzhou first and go to the western part of Ningguo to temporarily avoid the Feng army. The leader of this faction is the father-in-law Cai Song.
The war faction emphasizes that the monarch must not escape. Once the king leaves, Liangzhou will be lost. If even the capital is occupied by the Feng army, it means that Ningguo will be destroyed. How can the king of the fallen country face the people of Ningguo? Rather than living in shamelessness, it is better to fight to the death.
The escape faction advocates that if you keep the mountains clear, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Only by avoiding the sharp edge can you have enough time to accumulate strength for future counterattacks.
The two factions argued constantly, and they argued in the court, arguing endlessly, and Yan Chu was also overwhelmed.
Zhang Zhihong advocated fighting and insisted that Yan Chu stay. Of course, he hoped that Yan Chu would die at the hands of Feng Jun. If Yan Chu ran away, even if Feng Jun captured Liangzhou and made him the king, no one would recognize him as the King of Ning.
Cai Song advocated fleeing, of course, out of selfishness. He was the father-in-law of the country and a relative of the king. Once Feng Jun broke through Liangzhou, he would be the first to be killed by Feng Jun. Only if Yan Chu escaped and lived, his life and power could be guaranteed.
It can be said that none of these two important officials in the court considered Ningguo, and they were all fighting for their own selfish interests.
Yan Chu couldn't make up his mind whether to fight or flee, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to run away. He would rather die at the hands of Feng Jun than be a tyrant king.
Finally, he looked at the left prime minister Gao Shan and asked Gao Shan what he thought.
Gao Shan was the left prime minister after all, and he remained calm when the powerful enemy was about to arrive at the city.
He pondered for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, you should deal with several things quickly. First, urgently summon General Yuanhong back to the capital. The war in the south is indeed tense, but the Feng army is close to the capital. Apart from General Yuanhong, I can't think of anyone else who can resist the Feng bandits." But... I don't know if it's too late to send the order now.
Gao Shan didn't finish what he had in mind. After all, Changsun Yuanhong was thousands of miles away, and he was fighting with the Mo army. It was not easy to withdraw.
Yan Chu heard this and thought for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly. He didn't like Changsun Yuanhong, but now there was really no one available. It seemed that transferring Changsun Yuanhong back to the capital was the only way out.
He asked again, "Prime Minister Gao, what should I do second?"
"Second, ask for help from the Yu Kingdom in the south." Gao Shan sighed softly and said, "Although the Yu Kingdom is small and weak, it is also a kingdom after all. If the Yu Kingdom is willing to send troops, it will be able to contain the Mo army that invaded the south of our country."
Asking for help from the Yu Kingdom, Yan Chu has thought about it. Ningyu is a neighboring country, but their relationship is very ordinary. It is not that there is any conflict between the two countries, but that Yu's national policy is to be closed and conservative, and its relations with the surrounding countries are very cold.
In addition, Lingshuang, the king of the Jade Kingdom, had just inherited the throne, was still young, and was currently the only female monarch among the nine vassal states. Yan Chu did not think that she had the courage to send troops to aid the Ning Kingdom, but to offend the Feng Kingdom and Mo country.
He questioned: "High Minister, I have also thought about asking for help from the Jade Kingdom, but after careful consideration, I feel that the Jade Kingdom may not dare to send troops to help."
Gao Dan nodded and said: "Yes, if only the Jade Kingdom is allowed to send troops, with the style of the Jade Kingdom, it is true that they may not be willing to help. Therefore, the third point I made is to suggest that the king quickly send a letter to other countries stationed in the country. Envoys from various countries, ask them to immediately propose to the kings of each country to join forces to destroy the wind!"
"Ah?" After hearing this, all the ministers in the court were shocked and looked at Gao Dan one after another.
Gao Shan raised his hand to Yan Chu and said: "Your Majesty, the gap between Sichuan and Zhen Kingdoms and Feng Kingdom is deep, and there must be a battle between them. Sooner or later, Sichuan and Zhen Kingdom will join forces to send troops to Feng Kingdom. Feng Kingdom knows this, so Only then are we eager to join forces with the Mo Kingdom and annex our country, Daning, in order to strengthen our national strength and increase our bargaining chips against the two powerful countries of Sichuan and Zhen. If the war is still in a stalemate, the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen may not send troops to attack the Feng Kingdom. But now, our country. The situation is already precarious. Feng Guo may capture Liangzhou at any time. If Chuan Zhen doesn't take action, and if it continues, when they send out troops, they will not be facing the current Feng State, but a powerful country that has annexed Ning State. Feng Country, this is something that Sichuan and Zhen two countries cannot accept under any circumstances.
I dare to say that as long as the king requests Sichuan and Zhen to send troops to fight against the wind, the two countries will definitely agree! As soon as the armies of the two countries come out, the Feng army must return to the country to save themselves, and the crisis in the east of our country will be solved. Then we will find a way to persuade or bribe the Jade Kingdom to join forces with our country to fight Mo, and the war in the south will soon subside. "
This long speech shook the spirits of all the ministers of the Ning Kingdom. Even Yan Chu subconsciously stood up and walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back thoughtfully.
After thinking for a while, he felt that what Gao Dan said was very reasonable and feasible. He suddenly stopped and without asking other ministers for their opinions, he immediately made a decision and said: "Okay! Just follow Gao Xiang's idea!"
As he spoke, he looked at Da Hong Lu and Hong Luo and said, "Master Hong, please immediately send a letter to the envoys stationed abroad, especially the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen... Forget it, let me write the letter myself!"
With the countermeasures in hand, Yan Chu also had a goal. His dejection disappeared, as if he had been suddenly given a shot in the arm. He sat back on the throne in high spirits, picked up his pen and started writing a letter quickly.
Gao Dan's strategy was not subtle, but what Yan Chu and Gao Dan didn't expect was that the news had reached Tang Yin just after they had discussed the countermeasures.
The person who broke the news was none other than Zhang Zhihong, the high-ranking right minister who was unexpected by everyone.
After the court was over, Zhang Zhihong talked and laughed with Gao Dan, praising him for his brilliant advice. But in fact, he was itching with hatred. He thought Yan Chu was going to be doomed this time, but Gao Dan messed him up like this. , I don’t know how the situation will evolve. Not to mention that it will be difficult for the Feng Army to capture Liangzhou, even whether Feng State can protect itself is a question.
After returning to the mansion, he immediately found the Sky Eye spies who pretended to be living in his mansion, and relayed the contents of today's court meeting to the Sky Eye spies, hoping that Tang Yin would come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.
A strong building will collapse, and the effect of external forces is very limited. The problem often lies within. The same principle applies to the fall of a powerful kingdom. With the existence of moths like Zhang Zhihong, it will be difficult for Ningguo to maintain stability and peace.
The carrier pigeon first conveyed the information to Hedong, and then the spies from Hedong conveyed the message to the Fengjun camp in Yunkou County.
After reading this information, Tang Yin's heart suddenly froze and he was speechless for a long time.
The high-order strategy can be said to be Zhengzhong's weakness. What Feng is most afraid of now is that the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen will join forces to attack. Once such a thing happens, how will Feng country respond with its current limited military strength?
Seeing that Tang Yin was speechless and looked abnormal after reading the letter, Qiu Zhen and others didn't know what happened and looked at each other. Finally, Qiu Zhen asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did... something important happened? "
Tang Yin didn't answer and silently handed the letter to Qiu Zhen.
Qiu Zhen hurriedly took it. After reading it, he also trembled with excitement, and then silently handed the letter to Shangguan Yuanrang beside him.
The letter was circulated one by one among the generals. When they were reading the letter, the tent was completely silent. After everyone read the letter, the silence in the big tent became even more terrifying.
What are you really afraid of? What's coming! Now is the time when the country is at its weakest. How can it withstand the attacks of the two powerful powers Sichuan and Zhen? What should I do?
