Tang Yin chuckled as he looked at Zhan Wudi, but did not say a word.
Zhan Wudi still wanted to shout and curse, but Zhan Wushuang stopped him. Then, he looked at Tang Yin and sternly said: "If you don't behead me when two nations are fighting, could it be that you don't even know this rule? Tang Yin, you just injured our envoy and now you are here to see us two brothers. What are you trying to do? "
Tang Yin said: "Your Army's envoy is speaking so arrogantly and overbearing. If we don't teach him a lesson, won't that mean that my County Head is too weak and can be bullied?" Pausing for a moment, he changed the subject and continued, "The reason I came to see you two is to persuade you two to retreat!"
"Withdraw? Bullshit! Why should we retreat? " Zhan Wudi was enraged, his face flushed red as he shouted.
Tang Yin turned a blind eye to his anger, and calmly said: "Are you guys not going to care about the life and death of those captured by me?" He leaned forward, and said faintly: "As long as I give the order now, all of them will have their heads on the ground. Once the news is sent back to the Ning Country, I think the two of you will be in imminent danger!"
Hearing that, both Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi's face changed. Right now, they were worried that Tang Yin would use his captives to threaten them. Zhan Wudi's anger had already reached his head, but he could not release it. He could only stare at Tang Yin, clenching his teeth, his fists cracking loudly.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and continued speaking step by step: "If the Your Country's Emperor were to see the Queen's sister's corpse, I wonder what kind of thoughts he would have towards you two generals."
Zhan Wudi shouted angrily, "Tang Yin, don't be too arrogant..."
Zhan Wushuang glared at him fiercely. If it wasn't for him using his Spiritual Martial Academy on his own, would his own side still need to be threatened by Tang Yin? At this time, his mind was also quickly thinking of how to deal with Tang Yin. He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said slowly in a deep voice: "Tang Yin, of course you can execute the captives in your hands, but if you dare do that, I will make your Feng Country pay with blood, even if we have to retreat, we will kill our way back here to our homeland. At that time, we will not be certain of how many Windmen will die at our hands, you will make things difficult for us brothers, and your Feng Country will also be finished!"
Hearing his brother's words, Zhan Wudi immediately became spirited, his bloodshot eyes turned round, and agreed: "Right, big brother, if he dares to kill our captives, we will kill all the Windman, and see who dies more, and who has the biggest loss!"
Never would he have thought that Zhan Wushuang would use the lives of the common people of Feng Country to threaten him instead. If Zhan Wushuang really did as he said, who knows how many citizens of the Feng Country would die tragically at the hands of the Ning Army. At that time, the Ning Army would return to their own country, and their Feng Country would be severely damaged.
He was stunned for a moment, then recovered his senses. He laughed out loud, and said: "Zhan Wushuang, doing this will only anger the masses, not only will you two brothers lose your lives in Feng Country, none of the four hundred thousand soldiers under your command will return alive!"
Zhan Wushuang raised his chin, and said fiercely: "If you insist on forcing us brothers to the point of dying, we will do so."
Tang Yin met Zhan Wushuang's gaze. Although the two of them did not fight, their gazes had already crossed each other in midair, and the smell of gunpowder permeated the air.
In the end, Zhan Wushuang was the first one to break the silence, and asked: "Tang Yin, what do you need in the end to be willing to let him go?"
Right now, Tang Yin was not able to completely lose decorum with the other party. He thought for a moment, then said: "Your Army, step back fifty li, I will consider letting them go."
Zhan Wushuang could accept the fact that he had temporarily given up on attacking the city. Furthermore, he didn't have the ability to feed the Ning army nor did he have the strength to start a large-scale siege war. He nodded and said, "I can accept this condition, but what if our army does as you say and you don't release them?"
Tang Yin laughed, "I will naturally keep my promise!"
"This …"
"My conditions have not been met. Not only must Your Army retreat fifty kilometers, you are also not allowed to step even half a step into the Jinguang County within ten days. After ten days, I will naturally return the captured eight to you all safe and sound. " Tang Yin said word by word.
"No way!" Zhan Wushuang was unwilling to accept such conditions. The reason why Tang Yin had ventured deep into the Jinguang County and took over this small Jinhua City was so that he could obstruct his side from reinforcing the trapped Zhong Wen's side. If he waited ten days, when Zhong Wen was done for, the main forces of his Tianyuan Army would descend to the south, converge with his side, and form a standoff situation with his side. At that time, Tang Yin would not accept the promise he had made, and would not let him go, so he would have no choice but to take.
He said, "Let them go first. Our Ning Army will strictly abide by our promise to retreat fifty miles. We will not advance even half a step within ten days!"
Tang Yin sneered: "If you don't trust me, of course I won't trust you either." Pausing for a moment, he then said, "How about this, I can release four of the eight people first. As for the remaining four, we'll return them ten days later."
Zhan Wushuang took a deep breath, and immediately asked: "Which four people do you want to put down first?"
"Zhang Chu, Ming Xuan, Du Feng and Chen Li!" The four people that Tang Yin had mentioned, other than Chen Li, were all members of noble clans. Especially Zhang Chu and Ming Xuan, one of their fathers was a Ning Country Right Prime Minister, the other was a Chief General, both of them were important officials of the Ning Country. However, the most important one was still missing: Cai Youling.
"This …" To Zhan Wushuang, although Zhang Chu, Ming Xuan and the others were important, Cai Youling was even more important. He pondered for a moment and said, "You should add one more person …"
Without waiting for him to continue, Tang Yin decisively cut him off: "No! Surrendering these four people is already my limit, if you do not accept, then I can't do anything about it, you two can just sit in the main camp and wait to take their heads! "
"You …" Looking at the arrogant face of Tang Yin, Zhan Wushuang felt so much hatred that the roots of his teeth were itching.
I am a County Head of the Tianyuan County, so the only place that I can control is this place called Tianyuan County. As for the other counties, they have nothing to do with me, so you can just kill them if you want to! Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said.
He lowered his head and thought, it would be good to save Zhang Chu, Ming Xuan and the rest first, if anything were to happen to the others, at least the parents of the brothers would be able to speak good words for them in front of His Majesty.
Thinking about this, he nodded and said, "Okay! Let the four of them go first. When we receive them, our army will accept your conditions and take a fifty mile retreat.
"Good!" "It's a deal!" Although ten days wasn't a long time, it could change a lot of things. At the very least, their own side's defense within their Jinhua City could be strengthened further. In addition, with Zhong Wen as the head of the Central Army, it was very likely that their Central Army would collapse in these ten days.
All in all, there were hundreds of benefits and no harm in buying ten days for their side.
Zhan Wushuang also agreed: "It's a deal! I wonder, when does Master Tang plan to release them? "
"This evening is good enough!"
"Good!" Then I will withdraw tomorrow morning! "
Tang Yin and Zhan Wushuang had established an agreement between the two. The former would first release Zhang Chu and the other three, while the latter would lead the entire army and withdraw from the Jinguang County. After both sides had finished discussing, they each returned to their respective factions. On the way back to the camp, Zhan Wudi angrily snorted and asked: "Boss, can Tang Yin be trusted? How can you accept his conditions? "
"You still dare to say that?!" Zhan Wushuang turned his head and glowered at the brothers, pointing at his nose as he shouted, "If it weren't for the fact that you used your Spiritual Martial Academy, how could something like today have happened? You are the culprit! "
Zhan Wudi shrunk his neck back from Zhan Wushuang's scolding and muttered: "Since it's like this anyways, no matter how much Big Brother complains, I won't be able to solve the problem …"
Zhan Wushuang glared at him again, a ghastly glint appeared in his eyes as he said slowly: "Tang Yin is not trustworthy, I don't know, but I know one thing, we definitely cannot casually retreat."
Zhan Wudi was startled and immediately asked: "Boss, what do you mean to say?"
"Tonight, we will clean up the camp and act as if we are withdrawing our troops, let the enemy be careless, and then we will take this opportunity to infiltrate the city and find a way to rescue the captives!" Zhan Wushuang said faintly.
"Boss, let me go!" Zhan Wudi's eyes were wide open again.
Looking at his brother, Zhan Wushuang sighed helplessly. He said sternly: "Unrivaled, you must remember that you are the Commander, no matter what happens, you must never personally come into danger. Your mission is to be in charge of the army and direct the overall situation." After reprimanding Zhan Wudi, he said slowly: "This matter can be left to Ling Peng."
"Him?" Zhan Wudi scoffed.
Ling Peng was a newcomer to the Ning Army. It wasn't because he was young, but because he had only joined the army for a short period of time. He was originally a ranger, had a fickle personality, and was also sinister and sinister. His reputation in the ranger world was very bad, and gradually, he became intolerable to the other rangers.
Although he was not a very good person, his Spiritual Martial Cultivation was not simple. Furthermore, the group of dog friends around him all had extraordinary abilities, and quickly found a place in the Ning Army. However, because he was born into a adventurer family, generals from aristocratic families like Zhan Wudi treated him with respect.
Hearing Zhan Wushuang's words, he obviously did not believe him and sneered: "Boss, this person is only an average person who came from a travelling family, how can he lead soldiers to war?"
Zhan Wushuang was the same as Zhan Wudi, he did not hold Ling Peng in high regard, and he had never given him much use. However, his mind was still quite clear, and he knew who to use it on. He focused his voice and said: "This mission is to save lives, not to fight. If we are to send a proper general to go, we might not be able to do it, if we send Ling Peng there, the chances of success are higher, moreover, even if we fail, it would not be a pity for him to die in Feng Army!"
