Chapter 563

"Yes, read the full text!" Tang Yin nodded. Ziying's words were what he wanted to hear most. He leaned forward and asked: "Ziying, who do you think is the best to serve as the head of Hedong County?"

"This..." Ziying had just conquered Qingyuan, and he didn't know what extraordinary talents there were in the city. Now when Tang Yin asked him, he couldn't answer.

Tang Yin asked again: "Who is the deputy chief of Hedong County of Ning State?"

Ziying hurriedly replied: "My name is Gao Tang, he was killed in battle!"

Tang Yin frowned and asked, "Who is the lord of Qingyuan City?"

Ziying was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "This man's name is Wang Kai. He has been captured by our soldiers and is now being held in a prison in the city. However, he is stubborn and has not said a word since he was captured. "

"Oh?" Tang Yin likes such a tough person the most, and Qingyuan is a county town, so the person who can serve as the lord of Qingyuan City must have extraordinary abilities. Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said, "Bring him to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ziying agreed simply, but she didn't agree in her heart. It is impossible for a Ningguo die-hard like Wang Kai to surrender to his own side, let alone to switch sides. He should still treat such a person The best option is to eliminate them. But if Tang Yin wanted to see him, he couldn't stop him. Ziying told the general behind him to rush to the prison immediately and bring Wang Kai to the county capital.

The general's front foot moved further, and Lotte walked quickly from outside. When he came to Tang Yin, he respectfully handed over a letter and said softly: "Your Majesty, General Xiao's flying pigeon is delivering a letter."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Tang Yin immediately took it, unfolded the letter, and looked down at it carefully. At this time, everyone's eyes were also turned to Tang Yin. Since it was Xiao Muqing's letter, it must have something to do with the battle report from Xiaoxia City. At present, our side has captured Fengcheng and Qingyuan, and only the original target remains. Xiaoxia is here.

Everyone looked at Tang Yin eagerly, but the latter showed no emotion or anger, and his expression did not change when he read the letter. From his face, no one could tell whether the content of the letter was good or bad. After he read the entire book carefully, Tang Yinfang smiled calmly, put down the letter, and said to everyone: "The Pingyuan Army commanded by Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang have successfully captured Xiaoxia, but they let my Brother Pingyuan Army made a fool of himself!”

Everyone was overjoyed at first, and then they were stunned, not understanding what Tang Yin meant in the second half of his sentence. Tang Yin said with a smile: "Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang took advantage of the soft soil conditions in the Hedong area to dig tunnels in the camp, from the camp all the way into Xiaoxia City. In the early hours of this morning, the Pingyuan Army brothers secretly sneaked into the city through the tunnels and killed Ning's army by surprise. Xiaoxia has been successfully occupied."

Yo! After hearing this, everyone looked happy, and at the same time they had to admire the minds of Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang. Although Liang Qi succeeded in capturing Fengcheng, he also paid a lot of casualties, and Shangguan Yuanrang was seriously injured. Although Ziying took Qingyuan lightly, it was at the cost of the lives of 50,000 Ningguo people. Three cities In the battle, only Xiao Xia fought the easiest and most smoothly, and successfully captured Xiao Xia with basically no losses. Ziying also nodded secretly. Now everyone is stepping on the land of Hedong all the time, and they are annoyed by the softness of the land of Hedong. However, the only people who can think of taking advantage of this are Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang.

After a long pause, seeing that everyone had finished their review, Tang Yinfang continued: "Our army suffered almost no casualties in this battle, but Ning's army also suffered no casualties. When our army sneaked into Xiaoxia, Ning's army did not do anything. After resisting, his general Wu Huan led his troops to flee south. The main purpose of Xiao Muqing's letter was to ask me whether to pursue or let go of the Ning army who fled south. "

Oh, I see! Everyone looked at each other and laughed in unison. It seemed that there were some weaklings in Ning's army. Our brothers just sneaked into the city and frightened the other party into abandoning the city and fleeing. "Your Majesty!" Gu Yue said with cupped hands: "This Ning army is very weak, and the Pingyuan army is extremely powerful. As long as we catch up with the enemy, we can annihilate the 100,000 Ning army in one fell swoop and eliminate future troubles forever!"

At this time, Jiang Fan blinked his eyes, suddenly took a breath of cold air, stood up quickly, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin, and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the south of Hedong is a vast swamp, which the people of Ning call " Our soldiers don’t know the terrain of the Armadillo Swamp. Once they pursue the enemy deep into the area, they may not be able to get in or out!”

"Ah?" Tang Yin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately said: "Bring me the map of Hedong!"

Shangguan Yuanwu hurriedly handed the Hedong map he carried with him to Tang Yin. The latter took it and looked down at it carefully. On the map of Hedong drawn on Fengguo's side, the Armadillo Swamp was not clearly marked. It was just drawn as a wilderness open space, with an additional note beside it: There are many swamps here.

After looking at it, Tang Yin frowned and asked Jiang Fan, "How big is the Armadillo Swamp you mentioned?"

Jiang Fan did not hide anything and explained everything he knew to Tang Yin. Finally, he said with great concern: "In view of the general, Ning's army's flight south is not unreasonable. If our army If we don't pursue them, we can go all the way south and successfully escape into Jiuyou County in the south of Ning State. If our army pursues us, they can take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to lure our army into the swamp. Once our army of 100,000 is deep in the quagmire, we will It will be difficult to use the charge and close combat that our army is good at. By then, the power of Ning's arrow array will be fully demonstrated, and our soldiers will be in danger!"

Tang Yin and everyone present took a deep breath, and Le Tian's face changed drastically. He hurriedly saluted Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, I will reply to General Xiao and ask him not to pursue the enemy!"

Waving his hand, Tang Yin stopped Le Tian. He rolled his eyes but did not answer immediately. After a long pause, he murmured, "Since the Ning army can understand the terrain of the Armadillo Swamp, I believe that many people in Ningguo also understand it. Why don't we take advantage of this and send a surprise force to enter the Armadillo Swamp before the Ning army and set up an ambush there. If the Ning army really wants to move in, the ambush can attack from the front and back with the Pingyuan army to attack the Ning army."

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. After a long while, Gu Yue finally He said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Ning people are not trustworthy. It is too risky to send a surprise force to the Armadillo Swamp."

"Otherwise, I think your plan is feasible!" Ziying said seriously: "If we ignore this 100,000 Ning soldiers now and let them escape, then when the 500,000 Ning reinforcements arrive in Hedong to confront our army, what if this Ning army counterattacks and attacks our rear? By then, our entire army will be in an extremely passive position, so this Ning army must be annihilated and must not be allowed to escape!"

Gu Yue also understood this truth. The key is that he can't trust the Ning people. What if the Ning people deliberately framed him and led his surprise troops to death?

Just as everyone was arguing, Wang Kai, the lord of Qingyuan City, was brought in by Ziying's lieutenant.

Wang Kai looked to be in his forties. He was only wearing a white prison uniform and was tied up. His face was disheveled and his eyes were bruised. Tang Yin knew that he was Wang Kai, but he still pretended to ask, "Who are you?"

There was no answer. Although Wang Kai's arms were tied, he was full of momentum. He stood with his feet slightly apart, sideways, glanced at Tang Yin, and then closed his eyes again.

"Bold!"

Seeing that Wang Kai dared to be so rude to the king, the soldiers of the Feng Army on the left and right stepped forward and raised their fists to hit him. Tang Yin sighed, waved his arms to the left and right, and asked them to retreat. Then, his eyes fell on Wang Kai's face again, and he said with a smile, "I am Tang Yin."

No matter how arrogant Wang Kai was and how much he looked down on the Feng Army, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard Tang Yin's name. He opened his eyes and looked at the handsome young man who was sitting in the middle of the hall, wearing black brocade clothes and not too old. So this is Tang Yin. I never thought that the rumored murderous, cruel, treacherous and cunning Tang Yin was just a young man in his twenties.

"You are Wind King Tang Yin?" Wang Kai called Tang Yin's name without fear.

The faces of the wind soldiers and generals on both sides changed again when they heard this, but before everyone came forward, Tang Yin smiled and replied without any concern: "Yes, it's me! Your Excellency is..."

"I am the Lord of Qingyuan City in Ningguo, Wang Kai!"

"Oh! It turns out to be Lord Wang, I have heard of you for a long time!" Tang Yin stood up, walked around the table, walked close to Wang Kai, reached out to untie the rope on him, and said at the same time: "I have heard of Lord Wang in Fengguo."

I don't know whether Tang Yin's words are true or false. He is just a city lord, how can his name spread to Fengguo? Even the Wind King Tang Yin knows it? Wang Kai feels incredible. Looking at Tang Yin who had untied the rope for him, he shouted coldly: "Tang Yin, don't waste your thoughts. No matter what you want to ask me, I have only one answer: I don't know!"

Tang Yin asked back with a smile: "What did Lord Wang think I wanted to ask you?"

"This..." This question really stumped Wang Kai. He was just the mayor of Qingyuan City, and he knew Qingyuan very well. However, Qingyuan had fallen into the hands of Feng Jun now, and he was of no use to Tang Yin.

Seeing Wang Kai speechless, Tang Yin changed the subject and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if Lord Wang can agree to it."

"No!" Wang Kai refused immediately without even thinking about it.

Tang Yin didn't care about his answer at all, as if he didn't hear it, and continued: "This king wants to appoint you as the head of my Dafeng Hedong County. I wonder what Lord Wang thinks?"

What? Let him be the head of Fengguo Hedong County? Wang Kai almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong. How could Tang Yin be so shameless? When did the Hedong region become his Feng Kingdom? He even had the nerve to ask me to be the county chief. Wang Kai was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He pouted at Tang Yin and cursed: "Tang Yin, you are such a shameless Feng thief..."
