Chapter 622

Seeing the king bowing and saluting all of them, all the officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army were stunned. Then, there was a crashing sound, and people fell to their knees on the ground. With tears in their eyes, they said tremblingly: "It's me. Wait for the full text to be read! "The king has killed the villain!"

Looking around at his own soldiers kneeling in the darkness, Tang Yin was filled with emotion. Now that he had basically given up any hope of marching westward to destroy Ning, it seemed that accepting Ning's peace proposal was the only way out. While Tang Yin was thinking about it secretly, a guard next to him exclaimed: "There is a ship! It's Ning Guo's warship!"

After Tang Yin heard this, he raised his eyes and looked towards the river, right? Three large warships were slowly sailing in the upper reaches of the Zhang River. The warships were filled with Ning Bing and Ning Generals, lamps, torches, and Chinese pine trees. The three warships were illuminated like ships of fire. When the warship reached the center of the river in front of Tang Yin, it slowly stopped. Tang Yin closed his eyes and looked carefully, and saw a chair placed on the deck of the warship. There was a person sitting on the chair. This person had a golden helmet on his head, wearing golden armor, and a red cloak on his back. Looking at his face, his facial features were profound. He has sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a ruddy face.

This person is none other than the eldest son Yuanhong in ‘Critically Ill’. He looked full of energy, high spirits, and full of arrogance at this time. How could he look like he was critically ill? After seeing Changsun Yuanhong clearly, Tang Yin's head buzzed. At this time, he finally realized that he had been fooled.

"Haha——" Changsun Yuanhong on the warship laughed loudly, looked at the Fengjun camp on the east coast, and asked loudly: "Is Tang Yin here now?"

Tang Yin was not willing to be a coward when being called out by name. He left the rest of his group and strode to the river. He straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and replied in a loud voice: "I am The king is here!"

Seeing Tang Yin come out, Changsun Yuanhong stood up, walked to the edge of the deck, and looked at Tang Yin with a smile. Although he looks relaxed at this time and can sit and stand, in fact it is Changsun Yuanhong who is gritting his teeth and holding on. Although the injury on his back is not fatal, it is still very serious. The ability to stand up at this time depends entirely on the strength behind him. The guards were supporting him secretly.

The eldest son Yuanhong looked at Tang Yin for a while and said with a smile: "King Feng, I didn't expect that you would come to give me a big gift again so soon. Last time you gave a gift to no less than 30,000 people. I wonder how many people you will give this time?"

Hearing this, everyone in the Feng Army almost turned their noses with anger. They could only nod their heads to kill people. It was unbearable for the eldest son Yuanhong to humiliate him like this. If the warship hadn't been far away from the shore, everyone would have jumped into the water and killed them. Tang Yin was not angry, at least on the surface, he said with a smile: "Reciprocity is a courtesy! Your country gave me millions of people in the east of the river, and now it's nothing to give you thousands of people."

"Hmph!" Changsun Yuanhong's face darkened and he sneered: "Tang Yin, do you really think that I, Daning, will negotiate peace with you and other wind thieves? Stop dreaming, that is just a tactic used by me to lure the enemy. ; Do you think that your subordinates are really monolithic and loyal to you? To tell you the truth, every move you make is under my control, haha... Tang Yin, next time your army wants to cross the river, there is no need to make a big move. After all the trouble, why don't we attack directly?" After saying this, he waved to his subordinates and shouted: "Go back to camp!"

The three warships turned around in front of the Feng Army headed by Tang Yin as if no one was watching, and sailed back to the Ning Army camp in a swaggering manner.

Changsun Yuanhong's words seemed like he was showing off with pride, but they actually had two purposes. First, it made Tang Yin think that both Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were sent by him, and that the peace talks were fake and that it was true to deceive him. If Tang Yin believed it to be true, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi would die, and the envoys would be killed. , it is a great shame and humiliation for a country, and the peace negotiation that the court is keen on can only be given up. Secondly, it divided Tang Yin's internal affairs and caused suspicion within the Feng Army. Once suspicion arose and mutual distrust arose, there would be no cooperation on the battlefield in the future. An army without cooperation would not be concerned no matter how strong its combat effectiveness was.

This is Changsun Yuanhong's wishful thinking.

Seeing the warship where Chang Sun Yuanhong was sailing away, the officers and soldiers of the Feng Army were all itching with hatred, but there was nothing they could do about him. With a cold face, Gu Yue stepped up to Tang Yin and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi this time, our army would not have fallen into the trap. Your Majesty, the general will return to the camp right now and chop off the heads of the two thieves." !" After saying this, he turned around and left.

Tang Yin frowned and shouted: "Stop!"

"Your Majesty?" Guyue looked at Tang Yin in confusion. Things were so obvious, why did your Majesty still stop him?

Tang Yin took a deep breath and said: "Use your own brain. If Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were really appointed by Changsun Yuanhong, would he make things clear? He said this, obviously he wanted to use our hands to Shi and Qin are dead!"

"Ah?" Gu Yue froze, shook his head incomprehensibly, and said suspiciously: "Aren't Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi ministers of the Ning Kingdom? Why did Changsun Yuanhong kill them?"

"The devil knows." Tang Yin muttered angrily.

At this time, Liang Qi said: "There is only one possibility. The court of Ning State really wants to negotiate peace, but Changsun Yuanhong does not want to. As long as our army kills Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi, then the peace negotiation will be over. After giving up, Changsun Yuanhong's goal was achieved. In addition, if my guess is correct, Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi probably didn't know that Changsun Yuanhong was pretending to be critically ill, and Changsun Yuanhong wanted to use his illness to lure our army to attack. , He even deceived Shi and Qin as well. This person’s scheming is unfathomable.”

After listening to Liang Qi's analysis, everyone felt suddenly enlightened. Tang Yin asked: "How did Chang Sun Yuanhong know that our army would sneak across here this time? Could it be that someone in our army really tipped him off?"

Liang Qi sneered, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to Changsun Yuanhong's words. Although I can't guess why he could set up an ambush here in advance, what he said just now must be to make our soldiers fight against each other. Suspicion. If we unite, we will be strong; if we divide, we will be weak! Once the generals of our army are distrustful and suspicious of each other, the combat power of our entire army will be greatly reduced. This is naturally what Changsun Yuanhong wants to see most. "

Tang Yin was not a fool. He thought about Liang Qi's words carefully and nodded secretly, feeling that what Liang Qi said was very reasonable. He let out a long hiss and responded faintly: "That's right! Changsun Yuanhong is indeed cunning, and even I almost fell into his trick!"

Seeing that Tang Yin's gloomy expression had recovered a lot, Liang Qi knew that his words had worked. He raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Tang Yin smiled bitterly, sighed softly, and said, "Send the order, let the whole army return to camp!"

Tang Yin was not enthusiastic about the peace negotiation between Feng and Ning, nor did he want to negotiate peace, but now, he had to reconsider the matter. The battle of Zhanghe River has reached this point, and his side has no ships. Morale was low, and there were only about 100,000 left of the 200,000-strong army, and there was an unpredictable eldest son, Sun Yuanhong, on the other side. At this time, there seemed to be no other way out except for peace.

The other generals had similar thoughts to Tang Yin.

Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying were originally opposed to destroying Ning. It was not that they did not want to or that they were afraid of war, but they felt that the time was not yet ripe. With the current weak national power of the Feng Kingdom, they could only support a short-term war. , once the war evolves into a protracted war, the supply of our own army will be a big problem, unless we can attack Liangzhou in one go in a very short period of time and annihilate Ning Wang Yan Chu and all the ministers in the Ning Dynasty, but this possibility is slim.

Back at the Fengjun camp, as soon as Tang Yin entered the Zhongjun tent, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying followed him. Neither Xiao nor Liang spoke, but kept talking to Ziying. Ziying understood that these two people were asking him to come to see the king again. He cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty..."

"Well?" Tang Yin turned around and glanced at the three of them. Finally, his eyes fell on Ziying and asked, "Ziying, what's the matter with you?"

"Your Majesty, our army can no longer fight in this battle!" Ziying said seriously: "When we regained Hedong, our army of 400,000 soldiers now only has less than 200,000 left, especially in the last two battles of Zhanghe. , our army has lost countless soldiers and generals, and its combat strength has been reduced sharply. More importantly, the morale of the soldiers has been destroyed by Ning Jun. If we continue to fight, our army may..."

Ziying didn't finish what he said, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

After suffering two losses in a row, Tang Yin's arrogant arrogance was extinguished at this time. He walked to the table, sat down slowly, then nodded and said, "Let's be honest, in your opinion, What should be the purpose of our military?”

"Accept the Ningguo peace proposal!" Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying said in unison.

"In any case, our army is still on the offensive, and we are the one who takes the initiative," Ziying said: "We are negotiating with Ning Guo for peace. We are at the top and Ning is at the bottom. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to blackmail Ning Guo. , as long as we have money and Hedong County to provide food and grass, our army will be restored to strength soon. By then, our army will be regrouped and it will not be too late to talk about destroying Ning!"

What Ziying said was similar to what Tang Yin thought. The latter raised his head and sighed quietly: "It seems that this is the only way to go!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Yin, who was so insistent on destroying Ning, actually accepted the peace negotiation at this time. The three of them looked at each other with joy and nodded. Then they all bowed deeply to Tang Yin and said, "My King Shengming!"

"Bullshit saint!" Tang Yin muttered, stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and said angrily: "If I was really smart, how could I be ambushed twice by Ning in the same place?"

Hearing this, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying all blushed. Tang Yin was mocking himself, but he was also mocking them. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, no one saw through Chang Sun Yuanhong's plan, and the three of them also felt at the same time. Shameful.
