Tang Yin frowned and looked at Ziying strangely. He said with a light smile, "Ziying, what do you mean?"
Ziying took a deep breath and said, "king, the casualties of our army are close to 200000, and the soldiers have been exhausted after fighting for more than a month. In addition, most of the brothers in the army are not adapted to the climate of Hedong. Countless patients have been sick, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. However, Ning Jun is waiting for work in Hexi."
before Ziying finishes, Tang Yin interrupts with a wave of his hand“ Our army is tired. Is Ningjun not tired? Don't forget that Chang sun Yuanhong's subordinates arrived from the west of Ningguo to Liangzhou and from Liangzhou to Hedong, which was not as easy as our army. Our army didn't adapt to the climate of Hedong, but the weather in Western Ningguo and Hedong was much more different. Did Ningjun adapt to it? I know you have to say again that Zhanghe will wage a water war, and our army will not fight a water war, but will the Western army of Ningguo know water war? Neither will they! What are we afraid of, layman to layman
Zi Ying was robbed by Tang Yin and said no more words. What Tang Yin said was exactly what he was worried about. However, it could not be said that Tang Yin's analysis was unreasonable. Xiao MuQing and Liang Qi looked at each other again and grinned knowingly. It seemed that the king had made up his mind to go west!
At this time, Xiao MuQing stepped forward, arched his hands and said in a loud voice: "King Shengming, this is the best time to destroy Ning. We must not miss it. Our army should immediately go to Zhanghe River and prepare to cross the river for battle!"
After hearing this, Tang Yin was stunned. Then he pointed Xiao MuQing with his finger and burst into laughter.
Liang Qi and Zi Ying were both angry. Although they didn't talk with each other in words, they understood each other's intentions. They were all against further westward development. As a result, Tang Yin was resolute, and Xiao MuQing changed quickly from opposition to support. The typical example is that they are on both sides.
Xiao MuQing had already supported him. Liang Qi and Ziying could not say anything more. They both bowed over and said in unison, "the king is wise."
With the approval of Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi, and Ziying, the matter of Anning became a fixed matter on the board. Without waiting for further discussion, the door of the room opened, and the officer Yuanwu came in. With him were Wang Kai, the head of Hedong County, Du Qing, the lieutenant, and two servants with food and drink.
"To see that the king is in good health, Congratulations, and my minister is at ease!" Wang Kai and Du Qing walked quickly to Tang Yin and both knelt down to salute.
Tang Yin looked down at them, nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, general Du, please rise!" After a pause, he asked again, "Mr. Wang, how is the situation in Hedong during this period?"
Wang Kai, with a straight face, replied respectfully: "everything is fine. The mood of the people has been calmed down a lot, and the situation has gradually stabilized." No matter what he feels, dislikes or hatred towards Tang Yin, he does not dare to be slighted on the surface. After all, Hedong is now under the control of the wind forces. Tang Yin can decide his life and death, as well as the lives of millions of people in Hedong.
Tang Yin slapped Wang Kai on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I have just taken over Hedong County by Dafeng, and the affairs must be complicated, and Lord Wang needs more hard work and more work."
"The king is too polite. The minister is the head of the county. He should do his best to share the worries and solve the difficulties for the king."
"Good. That's what it says. I hope you can think so in your heart. " Tang Yin's smile is stronger.
He was laughing, but in Wang Kai's eyes, he felt chilly. Tang Yin is a smiling tiger. His smile is often on his face, but he is moody. No one knows what evil thoughts are hidden under the surface of his smile.
"King, the food is ready." Shangguan Yuanwu bowed and motioned for two servants to put the tray on the table. As soon as they were about to leave, Yuanwu stopped them and separated out some of the wine and vegetables. After they had been confirmed to be non-toxic, they were sent away. Then he said to Tang Yin, "please have a meal, king."
Tang Yin nodded and went to the table. First, he drank three cups of tea. Then he picked up the dishes and began to eat. After eating two mouthfuls, he saw that all the people were standing by and watching. He waved his chopsticks and said, "what are you standing for? Come and have a piece of it
As a subordinate, it is not proper to eat at the same table with the king. People shake their heads in succession and say: "king, we are not hungry!"
Among the people, the one who knows Tang Yin best is Xiao MuQing. He is the only one who has the cheek to go to the table and say, "king, I've had dinner, but I'm a little thirsty. Please ask for two drinks." Xiao MuQing knew that Tang Yin didn't pay attention to etiquette at all, and he didn't know the strict hierarchical relationship between the monarch and his subjects. If he only watched at this time, it would seem strange. If he really ate and drank with Tang Yin, it would be too much. It would be just right to have a few drinks with Tang Yin.
Then he said, "what do you want to drink?" he asked
Before Xiao MuQing answered, Wang Kai's face changed. He asked suspiciously, "do you want to fight? Has not the king defeated and occupied the whole Hedong
"Hedong? "Ha ha," Tang Yin said with a smile, "what I want now is not just Hedong, but a complete and complete Ningguo. I have discussed with you just now. Next, our army's action is to continue to march westward, cross the Zhanghe River and destroy Ning! "Ah? Wang Kai took a cold breath. Tang Yin's ambition was so great that he was not satisfied with occupying such a large Hedong. He even wanted to annex the whole kingdom of Ning! He pondered for a moment and asked, "when?"
Tang Yin picked up a piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely: "the sooner the better, the better. It's better to start troops immediately."
"Isn't that appropriate?" Wang Kai said carefully.
"What's wrong with it?"
"Many of our officers and men are injured, especially in the hot and humid Hedong. They come from the dry and windy country. They are often infected with poisonous sores and their skin is seriously ulcerated. Five of the ten formations have injuries and the soldiers are also exhausted. If we march now, I am afraid the war situation will be unfavorable to our army." Wang Kai pretended to be calm and analyzed.
After hearing this, Tang Yin suddenly felt tasteless. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and drank a cup of tea in silence. Then he looked up at Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi, Ziying and Guyue and asked if they really had this. Xiao MuQing's four faces showed a puzzled look and nodded slowly. After all, Tang Yin knows what Wang Kai said is true. If this is the case, the whole army needs a good rest.
He turned his eyes and said casually, "Lord Wang, you know the situation of our army very well."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Wang Kai stirred Lingling to fight a cold war. You should know that under the Fengguo system, the head of the county does not contact the army, and the situation in the army has nothing to do with the head of the county. Wang Kai is really caught off guard by Tang Yin's question. However, he was quick to respond, and immediately said: "all the drugs needed in the army should be purchased by the county. However, the amount is huge. I don't know that some people will enrich their own pockets and go to the army to check. Therefore, he also knows about the situation in the army."
It's hard to find fault with him. Tang Yin nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "how about three days' rest in Qingyuan?"
Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi, Ziying and Guyue quickly arched their hands and said, "this is the best way." Not to mention three days off, even three months off, if you can rest for a year and a half, that would be great.
Seeing that none of the four of them objected, Tang Yin picked up the dishes and chopsticks again and continued to eat with a big mouthful. He said, "let's have a rest for three days! However, some things need to be prepared. Since Chang sun Yuanhong retreats to the west of the river, the boats on the east bank must also be robbed by him. Our army should investigate along the river and borrow boats from the people who have boats at home. In addition, we should also build rafts ourselves. The more the number, the better. "
"I will understand it later!"
Xiao MuQing's four people all arched hands to answer the way.
As he ate, Tang Yin said anxiously: "water warfare is not our army's specialty, and it is not easy to fight. We need to recruit water troops on the spot. As long as the water quality is good, or those who know how to fight water warfare, whether it is Fengren or Ningren, they should be recruited into the army. There can be more silver for the army. There must be brave men under the heavy reward
After hearing this, Xiao MuQing's spirit was shocked, and he bowed his hand and said, "see you clearly, my king! Tomorrow, no, today I will go to the other side of Zhanghe River to recruit water troops. "
Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile, "good! You can estimate the amount of silver you need. After you decide, you don't need to report it to me. You can take it from Lord Wang directly. " With these words, he said to Wang Kai, "Lord Wang, there is still a lot of silver left in the County Treasury, right? You should try your best to cooperate with General Xiao. "
"Yes! King Wang Kai bravely agreed. At the same time, he respected and hated Tang Yin. He admired Tang Yin for his cleverness and cleverness. By recruiting the Navy, he could not only make up for the deficiency of the wind force's water war, but also make up for the battle effectiveness consumed by the wind force's injuries. What he hated was that Tang Yin's method of using Ning people to beat Ning people was too vicious. No matter whether the outcome of the war was good or bad, it was Ning Guo who suffered losses in the end.
Seeing that Xiao MuQing was going to recruit a water army near Zhanghe River, Liang Qi, Ziying and Guyue, who were not willing to fall behind, said they would go with Xiao MuQing. Tang Yin was happy to see the scene of the four armies fighting for soldiers. He agreed without any objection.
Tang Yin gave the preparations for the battle to the commander of the Fourth Army. He was happy to have a good rest in Qingyuan City for three days.
However, the three days of his rest were not peaceful, and the battle of crossing the river in the future was not as easy as he thought. The serious injury of Chang sun Yuanhong did not affect his outstanding military strategy and talent. He had already set a big net for Tang yinbu on the West Bank of Zhanghe River, waiting for him to attack.
