Volume 10 Chapter 113
Even if Zhang Han is pedantic and rigid-minded, it can be seen at this time that Tang Yin has already carefully thought about Mo's use of troops, and it will be difficult to change his mind. Read the full text. Zhang Han lowered his head with a worried look on his face and stopped talking.
Qiu Zhen said seductively: "If your Majesty sends troops south, the first thing our army will have to face is Mo's elite cavalry regiment - the Huben Army."
Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully. He had heard of the bravery of the Huben Army. When the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces attacked Feng State, Mo State launched an attack on the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces on the pretext that the two armies massacred the people of Mo Village. After attacking, the attacking army was none other than the Tiger and Ben troops. At that time, the Tiger and Ben troops flattened the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces almost as soon as they passed by. Now we have to face them, and winning is not easy.
He turned to look at Xiao Muqing and asked, "Mu Qing, what do you think?" The Pingyuan Army had cooperated with the Huben Army, and Xiao Muqing should know the characteristics of the Huben Army best.
Xiao Muqing thought about it seriously and said: "The Tigers and Ben Army can be called the tigers of the plains and the insects of the mountains and forests!" Mo Ma's speed is already extremely fast, and the war horses of the Huben Army are top-grade Mo horses, and their speed is even more astonishing. In the plains, it is basically a platform for the Huben Army to gallop at will. However, once it enters the mountains and forests, the high-quality Moma of the Huben Army will not only be unable to display its fast characteristics, but will also become a drag.
Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth first, and then asked: "Are there mountains and forests on the Fengmo border?" As soon as he said this, even he laughed. Baguan was built between two mountains, and the ascending mountain range was between Fengmo and Fengmo. A natural barrier that stretches for more than a thousand miles!
"It seems that it is not impossible to defeat the Tiger Army!" Tang Yin said quietly with a deep look.
"That's right!" Xiao Muqing said in a shocked voice: "Once the two countries go to war, I will lead the Pingyuan Army to take the lead and capture the Tiger Army." Xiao Muqing has worked by Tang Yin's side for many years and knows that Tang Yin likes to hear such confident words the most. He would not miss any opportunity to express himself in front of the king.
really. Tang Yin laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Our Pingyuan Army soldiers are invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. What does the mere Tiger and Ben Army mean to me?!"
After being praised by Tang Yin in public, Xiao Muqing looked proud, but he still saluted respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
The other ministers looked at each other, and no one said anything. Regardless of whether they looked down on Xiao Muqing's character or not, the Pingyuan Army alone did have the capital to show off, and it also had the most brilliant record among the Feng Army's legions.
After this meeting, the opinions of the Feng Dynasty court were basically unified, which was to start a war against Mo. Of course, the war against Mozambique requires a long period of preparation, at least until the Sanshui Army withdraws to the country. In addition, the policy proposed by Shangguan Yuanji also needs to be implemented to support a puppet in Mozambique that can compete with Shao Fang.
It is a pity that the plan did not change quickly. Shangguan Yuanji proposed to find a Shao royal family to be a puppet. The news of the massacre of royal family members in Mo country spread back to Feng country. Tang Yin could understand why Shao Fang did this. He didn't want to be held hostage by himself. However, once all the Shaw clan members are killed, the plan to support puppets will come to an end.
Tang Yin urgently called for Letian and Ai Jia, and asked them to immediately mobilize spies from Tianyan and Diwang to check to see which royal families were still alive in Mo Country. Once found, they would do everything possible to bring them back to Feng Country.
Lotte and Ai Jia both ordered to leave. Since Tianyan and Diwang have their own spies in Mo Country, it is relatively easy to inquire. This time, the speed of the underground network was one step faster than that of Tianshen, and he was the first to discover that Shao Fang had an uncle in Zhenjiang.
The name of this royal family member is Shao Jun, with the title of Marquis. Although he is Shao Fang's uncle, he is not very old. He is only in his thirties. He is similar to Shao Fang. Their relationship is relatively close, and they can even be regarded as friends. Playmates from childhood to adulthood. Shao Jun has no talent. He is a typical playboy who only thinks about having fun all day long. He and Shao Fang have the same hobby, they like women's lust, but Shao Fang's lust is a cover-up, while Shao Jun's lust is born deep in his bones.
Maybe even Shao Fang feels that Shao Jun is really not up to par, and the mud can't hold up the wall, or maybe he is still slightly thinking about the relationship between the two of them who have been playmates since childhood. In short, Shao Fang's knife has not struck Shao Jun for the time being. on the neck.
A spy from the local network found Shao Jun and offered to help him escape from Mo Country. When he sought refuge in Feng Country, Shao Jun shook his head like a rattle and categorically stated that his nephew might kill other clansmen. Kiss, but I will never harm him. He refused Diwang's assistance on the spot.
Only three days after the incident, Shao Fang pointed his finger at Shao Jun. He ordered the arrest of Shao Jun and his entire family on the charge of Shao Jun conspiring to rebel. Shao Jun returned to Hunyong, but he still had a wide network in Zhenjiang. Before Mo's army arrived at Shao Jun's home, the latter heard the news. He really didn't expect that Shao Fang would actually poison himself. If he had known this, he should have listened to Feng Ren and fled Mo Country as soon as possible and sought refuge in Feng Country. But it's useless to regret now. He refused simply at first. Now if he wants to find those Feng Ren, how can he find them?
He was sitting at home waiting for the soldiers to come and arrest him. At this time, the spies from the underground network came to his door again and explained to him that the army of Mo State was on its way to his mansion. If he didn't leave now, , it’s really too late. The reappearance of the underground network spy was undoubtedly a timely help to Shao Jun. The latter didn't even think about it this time, nodded like garlic, and repeatedly stated that he was willing to follow them to Feng Country.
He wanted to leave, and wanted to take his wives, concubines and children with him, but the underground network spies immediately refused. It was a question whether he could cover his escape alone. If he took so many family members with him, he would be discovered as soon as he left the mansion.
After a lot of persuasion from the underground network spies, Shao Jun reluctantly agreed to leave alone. He still had a fluke mentality, thinking that since he had already escaped, given his relationship with Shao Fang, he would not do anything to his family, and might even take better care of them.
But when the soldiers arrived at his mansion, they searched up and down several times but did not find his figure. They immediately reported to Shao Fang, who was furious after hearing it. He was not polite at all and ordered on the spot that all of Shao Jun's family members should be killed without leaving a single one.
The soldiers' treatment of Shao Jun's mansion can only be described as bloodbathed. Not only did his family members not survive, but even the maids and servants in the mansion were also killed.
In fact, the underground network spies did not leave Zhenjiang immediately after taking Shao Jun away. They knew very well that if they left Zhenjiang at this time, they would probably be caught up by the Mo army before they could run far. Instead of doing so, it would be better to take the risk of staying in Zhenjiang. After all, many bases of the underground network in Zhenjiang were also very hidden.
When Shao Jun heard that his entire family, young and old, had been killed, he was heartbroken and cried bitterly. While crying, he cursed Shao Fang for not thinking about the relationship between uncle and nephew and being a beast. People could only persuade him with kind words, saying that King Feng was kind and would treat him with more courtesy after knowing his experience. It would not be a bad idea to settle down in Fengguo and marry a wife and have children in the future.
Their persuasion still had a significant analgesic effect on Shao Jun. Besides, what else could he do? He didn't have the courage to really go to Shao Fang to fight.
On the fifth day after Shao Fang slaughtered Shao Jun's entire family, the rumors had died down a bit, and the underground network spy took Shao Jun in disguise and quietly left Zhenjiang, heading north to Feng State.
To make a long story short, the underground network spy took Shao Jun to eat and sleep in the open air, and it took more than a month of dusty travel to reach Yancheng.
The underground network spy's advice was really right at the beginning. Tang Yin treated Shao Jun very politely, even too politely. He was just a fallen and impoverished marquis of Mo State, but after arriving in Yancheng, Feng State's left and right prime ministers Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji personally went out of the city to greet him and treated him with the courtesy of a monarch.
This made Shao Jun quite flattered. When he was sent to the palace and saw Tang Yin, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his nose and tears flowed down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Shao Jun, a minister of Mo State in trouble, pays homage to His Royal Highness Feng Wang..."
Tang Yin did not get up immediately, but sat there and looked him up and down. Shao Jun looked shabby now, with ragged clothes and dust all over his body, and his hair stuck together, as if he hadn't washed for several months. The only clean part of his body was his face, but he was pale and thin, with deep eye sockets and bloodshot eyes. It was unknown how many days he hadn't slept. How could he look like a royal family of a country? He was even worse than a refugee.
It seemed that the brothers in the underground network didn't treat him well during his escape! Tang Yin smiled in his heart, bowed slightly, waved his hand and said softly: "Brother Shao Jun, please stand up."
Shao Jun was stunned when he heard this. Tang Yin actually called him brother, which was incredible. Before he could react, Tang Yin smiled again: "Brother Shao Jun, you have worked hard all the way, you must be hungry, right? Come on!"
As he spoke, the maids came in with all kinds of snacks and placed them in front of Shao Jun.
Gulu! Looking at the snacks in front of him and smelling the aroma that kept coming, Shao Jun swallowed his saliva uncontrollably, looking like he wanted to eat but didn't dare to.
Seeing this, Tang Yin's smile deepened. Compared with Shao Fang, his uncle Shao Jun was really far behind, but this was exactly what he wanted. Only such people were the easiest to control. He raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Shao Jun, please eat. You don't have to be polite in front of me!"
"Oh...then...then I can eat?" Shao Jun looked at Tang Yin timidly, and his eyes immediately fell back on the snacks in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was sucking back the saliva that flowed out.
Tang Yin used his greatest restraint to suppress the urge to laugh. He smiled and said again: "Brother Shao Jun, please taste it!"
Once again with Tang Yin's permission, Shao Jun finally couldn't help it. He didn't even bother to wash his hands. He grabbed the snacks in front of him and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
Tang Yin reminded him with a smile: "Shao Jun, go slow, don't rush!"
"Woo... woo..." Shao Jun couldn't even speak with his mouth full of food.
