Chapter 536

"Sister, you feel so comfortable!" Wuying smiled and crossed Tang Yin, walking forward quickly.

Hearing the voice, Wu Mei turned around and saw Wuying in military uniform. She was surprised and happy, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoying, why are you here?"

"The king brought me here!" Wuying turned around and looked at Tang Yin. At this time, Wu Mei realized that Tang Yin had also arrived. She stood up, her face turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Yin, last night I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep..."

Tang Yin smiled, walked up to Wu Mei, brushed the hair on her forehead gently and intimately, and said, "It doesn't matter."

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet!" Wu Mei suddenly remembered something.

"Thank you?" Tang Yin looked at her in confusion, wondering what was going on in her little head.

"I have heard that you appointed Xiaoying as the deputy commander-in-chief of the direct army." As she spoke, she turned back to look at Wuying, who was wearing a general armor and holding a general helmet in his hand. She was happy for her sister and excited. Extremely envious.

Tang Yin raised his head and chuckled, and said: "It is not my decision that Xiaoying can be the deputy commander. General Gu Yue also has this intention. This is due to Xiaoying's ability and has nothing to do with me." Tang Yin did not take the credit and pushed it away. All clean.

He just said a few words of modesty, but Wuying said seriously: "The direct army is the king's close army. If the king objects, even if the civil and military officials of the whole court agree with this matter, I will not be able to sit as the deputy commander-in-chief of the direct army."

Unexpectedly, Wuying was so serious. Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled. Without saying anything more about the matter, he changed the topic and asked: "Xiaoying hasn't had lunch yet? You just happen to stay and let's have a meal together!"

"Okay!" Wuying agreed simply this time, nodding in agreement without thinking.

Tang Yin suddenly remembered something, called Shangguan Yuanwu, asked him for a palace-specific token, handed it to Wuying, and said: "This token is for you. If you want to enter the palace to see your sister in the future, use this token." There is no need to go to the palace directly."

When Wuying heard this, her eyes widened, she hurriedly took the token, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." As she spoke, she carefully put the token into her armor.

"In private, you can just call me by my name. It sounds awkward for me to be tall and short." Tang Yin sat on a chair, picked up an apple from the fruit plate, and said casually.

"How is that possible? The king is the king." Wuying said seriously.

Tang Yin didn't force her, he shook his head and smiled. Without saying another word, he took out a delicate little dagger from his sleeve and quickly peeled the apple. His fingers are slender and his movements are extremely flexible. With only one hand, holding the knife with two fingers and holding the apple with three fingers, he has peeled the peel very quickly. The peeled peel is even and as thin as paper, and is connected into a long string. , watching him peel the fruit is like performing acrobatics or magic, it can even be said to be a kind of enjoyment.

Wuying could not help but look at Leng Shen from the side, with a strange light shining in her eyes. Wu Mei didn't pay that much attention, she was smiling all over her face, and she felt very happy in her heart. Tang Yin could be so kind and trustful to her little sister, which just showed that he loved her very much.

She said with a smile: "I'll ask someone to prepare the meal!"

At noon, Tang Yin and Wuying ate together in Wumei's Huaying Hall. Tang Yin and Wumei enjoyed the meal very much, talking and laughing while eating, but Wuying seemed a little absent-minded.

Now Tang Yin is leisurely and contented, accompanied by three stunning ladies in the palace, while Qiu Zhen outside the palace is already very busy. Tang Yin gave him the task of secretly dispatching 400,000 troops to Tongmen. It was easy to say, but extremely cumbersome to actually do it. Within Yancheng, I don’t know how many details of Ning Guo are hidden. There is a slight disturbance on Fengjun’s side, but it cannot be detected by others. Qiu Zhen also spends a lot of time to mobilize an army of 400,000 without being discovered.

At this time, the floods in Fengguo Lingdong and Lingnan counties invisibly helped Qiu Zhen. The two counties were affected by the disaster, the two counties were out of food, and there were tens of thousands of refugees. Of course, Yancheng could not sit idly by and ignore it. Disaster relief food was continuously delivered to Lingdong and Lingnan counties.

Qiu Zhen took this opportunity to first break Liang Qi's Sanshui Army into pieces and divide it into several parts. Then he asked a group of people to dress up as strong civilians transporting grain, and asked another group of people to hide in the carriages carrying grain. On the surface, this is an ordinary food delivery team setting off from Yancheng. In fact, there is no food at all in the team, and they are all soldiers of the three armies.

Under the arrangement of Qiu Zhen, the disguised Sanshui Army would leave in batches every now and then, sometimes more than a dozen batches a day. The people of Yancheng did not know the inside story. When people saw the continuous flow of convoys transporting grain, When driving to Yancheng, we just thought that the situation in the affected counties was serious. At this time, the cohesion of the wind people showed up. No one organized or encouraged. The people began to spontaneously donate money and food to the government, hoping to use their own We can do our best to alleviate the national crisis.

Qiu Zhen used this method to send all the hundreds of thousands of navy troops out of Yancheng without anyone noticing, and then repeated his old tricks and sent away the Pingyuan Army, the Sky Eagle Army and the Directly Affiliated Army one after another.

Since Lingdong and Lingnan counties and Tongmen are all located to the west of Yancheng, they are just along the way, which makes it easier for the soldiers to conceal their whereabouts.

Not only was Ning Guo unaware of the mobilization of 400,000 people from the Central Army of Feng State, but what was even more terrible was that Ning State also received a wrong message. The floods in Feng State were extremely serious, and the whole country had devoted all their efforts to rescue them. Feng State's national strength had further improved. It is consumed.

At this time, Ning King Yan Chu started to make moves. Now the hatred between Feng and Ning was deep in the bones. First, Feng's 200,000-strong army was wiped out by Ning's army in the Hedong area, and then Ning's 400,000-strong army was completely wiped out in Fengdi, along with two Lieutenant Generals Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi were also injured in front of the two armies.

Yan Chu has always been worried about this matter, but Feng State has the natural danger of Tongmen to rely on, and it has hoarded a large number of troops. It is difficult for Ning's army to cross the thunder pool. Now Feng State is suffering from floods. Listen to the front to report carefully. The floods in Feng State are very serious. , countless amounts of food and grass had been transported for disaster relief. It seemed that even the Feng Army's food supplies were insufficient. Yan Chu felt that this was a good time to attack Tongmen and break into Fengdi.

He summoned civil and military ministers to discuss the matter.

What is interesting is that most of the civil servants in Ningguo are engaged in war, while most of the military generals are engaged in peace. The civil servants believed that Feng State was a country of tigers and wolves, and that they should not be friendly to each other and could only fight hard. Only by completely defeating Feng State and conquering it could the eastern border of Ning State be stabilized. The military generals were not as optimistic as the civilian officials. Even if the Feng Kingdom suffered serious floods, its military strength was still there. The disastrous defeat of the Zhan brothers showed how powerful the Feng Army was. On the other hand, the Ning Kingdom lost 400,000 elite soldiers in one fell swoop. , although new recruits have been recruited to complete the establishment, the combat effectiveness of the new recruits has not yet been formed. How can they compete head-on with the Feng Army, which is known as a tiger and wolf division?

The civil servants and military generals had different opinions and couldn't stop arguing, and what both sides said was reasonable. Yan Chu was also in a dilemma, not knowing which side to listen to. At this time, Wei Zheng, the general of Ning State, came out, smiled at Yan Chu, and said: "Your Majesty wants to send troops to Feng State, so why rush? Now Feng State is seriously flooded, and the national strength has been greatly damaged. I am afraid it will not be able to recover within a few years. Our country's new soldiers are being trained and will be able to achieve combat effectiveness in as little as one year or as little as half a year. By then, your Majesty will be sure of sending troops to the Feng Kingdom. "

When Yan Chu heard the words, he nodded secretly, feeling that what Wei Zheng said was reasonable.

Ning's right minister Zhang Zhihong glared at Wei Zheng from the side and cursed in his heart, what a useless weakling! Zhang Zhihong's hatred for Tang Yin was much deeper than that of Yan Chu. Yan Chu had lost two of his favorite generals at best, but Zhang Zhihong's son Zhang Chu is still lying at home, all thanks to Tang Yin.

As a member of the Ningguo Lingwu Academy, Zhang Chu also went to Fengguo with the Zhan brothers. However, he was captured alive by Tang Yin during the battle. Although he was finally released by Tang Yin, he was already covered in arrow wounds, including several wounds. When it comes to the bones, it is still unknown whether he will be able to stand up in this life.

Zhang Zhihong's heart was as sharp as a knife when his beloved son turned into such a half-dead state, and he hated Tang Yin even more deeply. Even if he ate his flesh and bones, he still couldn't understand the hatred in his heart.

Yan Chu finally adopted Wei Zheng's suggestion and refrained from attacking Feng Kingdom for the time being. Instead, he strengthened his troops and recuperated his strength in order to attack Feng Kingdom in the future. However, before the training of Ningguo's new recruits was completed, within a few days, an urgent report came back from the north, saying that the army of the Duji city-state suddenly crossed the border between the two countries and entered the territory of Ningguo, and overnight, they successively captured the border areas of the two countries. In the three cities of Ningguo, almost none of the defenders and the people in the cities survived, and they were all brutally killed by Du Ji's army.

When the news reached Yan Chu, it was late at night. When the latter heard the words, he jumped from the bed to the ground in anger and shouted loudly: "What a despicable and shameless Du Ji, how dare you occupy my city and kill my soldiers? Slaughter my people, and I will pay with their blood!”

Yan Chu nervously summoned all the civil and military officials in the court to enter the palace to discuss matters. After the ministers heard the news, they were all shocked and couldn't understand why Du Ji, who had always been on good terms with his country, suddenly attacked.

Taifu Fengcheng frowned and said quietly: "It's strange! Duji city-state and Daning have been on good terms with each other for hundreds of years. They have always been at peace with each other, and there is frequent trade between them. Why did they suddenly send troops to our country this time? Among them? Is there any misunderstanding? "

"Bullshit misunderstanding!" Yan Chu slammed the table and said coldly: "No matter what kind of misunderstanding there is, it is a fact that Du Ji invaded my territory and killed our soldiers and civilians. Is this intolerable? General Ming?"

"The last general is here!" Upon hearing Yan Chu's call, General Ning Ming Xiaotian hurriedly stepped out of the queue and stepped in to salute.

"General Jin?"

"The general is here!" Lieutenant General Jin Huan followed and walked out.

Yan Chu gritted his teeth and said: "General Ming, I have ordered you to be the commander-in-chief and General Jin to be the deputy commander-in-chief. With an army of 500,000, you two can set off to the north. We will definitely annihilate the Duji bandit army. There must be no error!"
