The besieged Zhen army broke out several times, but all of them failed in vain, and they were defeated at a loss. In the end, Gu Anmin also saw that his side had no strength and possibility to break through the encirclement, so he had to give up the breakthrough and stay in place.
If they did not attack, the Fengyu United Army also wanted to fight, and the two sides were in a state of confrontation. But after all, the food and grass of the Zhen army was limited. They and the Fengyu army could not afford to consume it.
Within three days, the tragedy of the anhuan united army was transferred to the present Zhen army. The lack of water and food led to a sharp increase in the number of patients.
By the fifth day of the confrontation between the two sides, the tragic situation of cannibalism had begun to appear in the Zhen army. Nearly half of the officers and men in the whole army lost their combat effectiveness due to hunger and injuries. The situation of the Zhen army was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Tang Yin saw that his side had almost trapped the Zhen army, and offered to meet Gu An min.
Gu Anmin did not refuse. He also wanted to see what Tang Yin, the king of wind, wanted to see himself at this time. Under the protection of their respective generals, the two met in the central open space of the two camps. Gu Anmin is a black and thin middle-aged man. However, his background is unusual. He is the son of Gu Heng, a former general of the state of Zhen. His son inherits his father's title and is now a dignified Marquis of national prosperity.
Tang Yin looked at Gu An min for a while. Seeing that the other side didn't have any intention to speak, he took the initiative to smile and said, "general Gu, long time no see!"
"If your highness Fengwang has something to say, just say it!" Gu An min was too lazy to exchange greetings, and said in an open voice.
"Ha ha, general Gu is so cheerful." Tang Yin said with a smile: "this time the king met with general Gu, only one purpose is to point out the way for general Gu."
Gu An min raised his eyebrows, gazed at Tang Yin, and asked, "does your highness Fengwang point out the way for me?"
"Yes Tang Yin nodded, restrained his smile, and solemnly said: "general Gu, it should be very clear now that you and the people under your command are no longer able to get along with each other. If you fight another trapped animal, it is only a dead end. It can't change the overall situation. It's not like abandoning the secret and supporting justice to be a martyr to a traitor and a thief."
"Ha ha." Gu Anmin seemed to have heard a joke. He looked up and laughed wildly. After a long time, he stopped laughing and asked, "is this the so-called Ming Road by his highness Feng Wang? If so, there would be nothing to talk about between us "
before he finished, Tang Yin suddenly changed his words and murmured," I've always heard that general Gu is a very good general who is considerate and loves soldiers like sons in Zhenguo. Today, it's just so! "
This makes Gu An min's face sink suddenly, stare at him coldly, wait for him to continue to say.
Tang Yin then said: "Li Hong is rebellious and unruly. He stands up as king. He disobeys the destiny of heaven and disobeys human relations. The common people in the world are cruel and can't eat his meat or swallow his bones. It is undoubtedly foolish to be loyal to those who are inferior to them. For the sake of the reputation and survival of his family, general Gu insisted on going wrong even if he knew it was wrong and was willing to be sacrificed. This is understandable. However, you should not pull in more than 200000 soldiers and let them accompany you to make funeral objects. In doing so, general Gu does not feel that he is too selfish, and he is too sorry to entrust his family and life to your soldiers. "
His words made Gu An min's face red and white, and he had no words to say for a long time.
The reason why he was willing to meet Tang Yin was that he wanted to see the intention of the other party. On the other hand, he wanted to fight for a way to survive for his brothers. Of course, the price of this way of living was not surrender.
After pondering for a long time, Gu An min Fang opened his mouth and said, "as the saying goes, one man works hard and three people are invincible! Your Highness the wind king should know about the fighting power of our Zhen army's officers and men. He really worried our brothers. Although our army will be destroyed, your losses will not be small. I have a proposal that the head of my neck should be exchanged for the favor of his Highness the king of wind, so that these brothers can have a way to live. "
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said leisurely, "general Gu overestimates himself. Your head is not so valuable. I will not do stupid things to let the tiger return to the mountain."
Gu Anmin's face suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "does your Highness the wind king really want to see you and us fight for a net to kill each other"
Tang Yinyue reached out and pointed to the Zhenjun side and said, "with the current situation of your Zhenjun army, I'm afraid you may not be able to persist for another three days! With the present fighting power of the Zhen army, breaking through the encirclement is even more to seek death. General Gu, you don't have the capital to negotiate with the king. If we surrender, the whole army will live; if we resist, we will die. If you want to live or die, general Gu will choose for yourself. "
He had said nothing, so that Gu Anmin could not find any room for maneuver. The latter subconsciously frowned, his face overcast and uncertain, and he was speechless for a long time.
Tang Yin understood that he was now in a state of war between man and nature. He narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward, and whispered, "but I must remind general Gu that your choice now is related to the life and death of more than 200000 soldiers. They are all innocent. General Gu will not have the heart to push them into the fire pit, will he? "
"Stop talking!" As soon as Tang Yin's voice fell, Gu An's people roared out.
Surrender was unacceptable in Gu Anmin's previous ideas, but now he hesitated. In the final analysis, Li Hong led the invasion of the six kingdoms alliance. He had considered this question before, but he did not come up with an outcome. Now the question is in front of him, whether to continue to be loyal or to join the camp that overthrew King Zhen Li Hong.After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Your Highness, I hope your highness can tell me the truth."
Tang Yinyang said, "general Gu, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
"Is the alliance of six kingdoms trying to bring the king down to the throne, or do they want to join forces to destroy and annex the kingdom of Zhen?" This is what Gu An min is most concerned about.
If it's the former, he can barely accept it and think about it carefully. But if it's the latter, he doesn't have to hesitate. Even if he doesn't fight for the monarch, he has to fight for the country. Even if he dies, he will die for his own good.
How could Tang Yin not guess what he thought? If you tell him the truth, he will not accept his surrender even if he is afraid to kill him. However, if he is deceived, his prestige as a king of a country will disappear.
After thinking about it, Tang Yin said in a vague and evasive manner: "I don't know whether to pull Li Hong out of power or destroy the state of Zhen. However, I can assure general Gu that the king led the army to fight Zhen out of loyalty to the emperor. After the collapse of the rebellious forces led by Li Hong, our Fengguo would never claim or seize half an inch of territory of Zhenguo, Of course, this king can only make such a guarantee for his own country. As for what the princes of other countries intend to do, I don't know. "
Yo! Hearing this, Gu Anmin's heart was moved. Feng Wang said this, which showed that he did not mean to divide up the kingdom of Zhen. It sounds like the six countries have never discussed the partition and annexation of the state of Zhen. From this point of view, the alliance of the six countries only wanted to overthrow Li Hong, not to destroy the state of Zhen.
With his eyes rolling, he murmured and asked, "Your Highness the king of wind may not know what other princes think, but he should know the mind of his highness Jade King"
Tang Yin looked up with a smile and said, "Wang Mei is my wife, and my determination is naturally Wang Mei's. General Gu can rest assured that the state of jade, like the state of Feng, has no desire to covet the state of Zhen. "
Speaking of this, Gu Anmin is also very good at asking questions. Among the six countries, only Feng and Yu are not interested in the territory of Zhen state. Tang Yin's answer is not false.
Both Fengyu and Fengyu did not want to divide the kingdom of Zhen, which made Gu Anmin's heart fall down.
With a long sigh of relief, he bowed his hand to Tang Yin and said, "Your Highness the king of wind is the king of a country. What he says must be true. As for the matter of surrender, I can consider it, but I have one condition, and I hope that his Highness the wind will accept it. "
"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.
"In fact, it's not too much. I just hope that after the king abdicates, the princes of the six countries can let our crown prince Li Dan inherit the throne." In Gu Anmin's mind, Li Dan is a hundred times stronger than Li Hong. First, the prince's ability is superior. Secondly, the prince is kind and kind, and pays attention to love and righteousness. If Li Dan can succeed to the throne, the state of Zhen will still have a bright future.
Tang Yin blinked his eyes and said, "who will inherit the throne in the future is not up to the king alone. It depends on the meaning of other princes."
"I understand that as long as his highness Fengwang guarantees that he will not object in the future." Of course, Gu Anmin knows the contradiction between Tang Yin and Li Dan.
Yin Rou was originally Li Dan's fiancee, but Tang Yin took him to Fengguo. They can be said to be public enemies in love. After Li Hong abdicates, whether Tang Yin can accommodate Li Dan is really hard to say!
Tang Yin smiles in his heart. Gu An min thinks everything too well. Ascend the throne? Chuan, Mo, an and Huan have long regarded the state of Zhen as a thing in their pocket. How can they tolerate others to inherit the throne?
Now, he would not shatter Gu Anmin's dream. He just nodded and laughed. If he pointed out, "general Gu has taken the king's mind too narrow. If he really wants to choose the successor to the throne of Zhen kingdom in the future, I will never interfere."
"So I can rest assured." Gu Anmin has nothing to say. It is not easy for Tang Yin to make such a guarantee.
"So general Gu surrendered under his command?" Tang Yin looked at him directly.
Gu Anmin nodded his head and shook his head. He said, "it's not surrender, but defection. Our officers and I are not greedy for life and death. The reason why we are willing to give up our resistance is because the monarch is not good. We are willing to cooperate with the six countries' coalition forces and establish a new Lord. That's all.
