When the dinner was over, the kings stayed directly in the palace, and Yue Zeye had already arranged their accommodation.
Tang Yin was arranged in a courtyard not far from the main hall. It was not big, but there were many main rooms and side rooms. The interior was also very quiet and spotless, and the bed was specially thickened, making it soft to lie on.
Although this is just a palace that has not been occupied for a long time, the conditions inside are much better than those in Tang Yin's palace.
When he returned to his residence, he had just drank two sips of tea, and before his buttocks were still hot, Lingshuang arrived. After meeting, Lingshuang asked straight to the point: "Why don't you want the land to be divided among Zhenguo, but only the spoils of war?"
Tang Yin was amused and asked: "Do you think you can really gain benefits from the land in Zhenguo?"
"Can't it?"
"Of course!" Tang Yin sneered and said: "It is said that the land is divided, but in fact the final control is in the hands of the Sichuan Kingdom. If you want it now, it will definitely be a trouble in the future. The Sichuan King can use this as a blackmail to force you.
Our two countries will submit and even surrender!"
"If that's really the case, then the worst we can do is not divide the land." Lingshuang said disapprovingly.
"You think too simplistically." Tang Yin shook his head and said: "The territory of a country is not something you want, and you can give it up if you want to. It is easy to take it, and the whole country is happy, but once you give it up, it will definitely cause chaos in the country.
If the people are dissatisfied, the people will also complain, thinking that the monarch is weak and incompetent, and has done things that are disgraceful to the country. Other countries will use this to add fuel to jealousy and laugh at the joke.
The situation will be very difficult and the face will be lost."
After he said this, Lingshuang also took a breath. She had never thought about this. She only thought about the benefits of getting the land. She didn't expect Tang Yin to think so far.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Tang Yin continued: "Furthermore, Zhenguo's territory is vast and sparsely populated, and its national strength is very weak. If it had not been for the implementation of the policy of all people being soldiers, Zhenguo's military strength would probably be the weakest among other countries. Zhenguo's military strength would be the weakest among other countries.
What is the tax revenue and grain production of the territory? Even if you and I can be divided into two or three counties in the end, the benefits will be pitiful. Rather than accepting a burden with no sweetness, it is better to take advantage of the destruction of the countries.
Make a fortune."
Lingshuang gradually accepted Tang Yin's view. She smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Wang also said that Zhenguo is weak and its national power is limited. Even if you and I try our best to conquer it, I'm afraid we won't be able to grab anything."
Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and asked: "What do you think is the most valuable thing about Zhenguo?"
Lingshuang looked confused. What is the most valuable thing in Zhenguo? In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, are there any other treasures in Zhenguo?
She looked at Tang Yin with dull eyes, not quite understanding what he meant. The latter said meaningfully: "If Sister Wang only sees those dead things in her eyes, no matter how much money the Jade Army can plunder this time, it will be a big loss."
deficit."
"Brother Wang means..."
"In my eyes, the most valuable thing in Zhenguo is its people!" After saying that, Tang Yin yawned, looked up and down Lingshuang maliciously, and asked with a smile: "I'm sleepy. Sister Wang wants to sleep with her husband for the night.
?"
Tang Yin's mind jumped too fast. As soon as he got to the point of the question, he immediately jumped to the matter of men and women. Lingshuang was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She was angry and funny. She glared at him fiercely and said nothing.
He spoke, turned around and left in silence.
Until she returned to her residence, Tang Yin's words were still echoing in her mind. Yes, the most valuable thing in Zhenguo is indeed its people. The long-term system of all citizens serving as soldiers has long made the personalities of Zhenguo people extremely strong, even if they are dissatisfied.
Ten-year-old children are good at riding and shooting, and the Zhen Army is even more famous for its terror. Among all countries, the only one who can compete with Feng Army in individual combat is the Zhen Army. They are brave and good at fighting, extremely ferocious, and are not afraid of them.
Death, the strength of Zhenguo lies in its army.
Could it be that Tang Yin was reminding himself to capture more prisoners of the Zhen Kingdom, bring them back to his own country, and cultivate an army of Zhen people belonging to his own country? Lingshuang nodded secretly, feeling quite enlightened, and at the same time she secretly screamed for wisdom.
The six kings had the basis for the first day's discussion, and the subsequent discussions became extremely smooth.
A consensus has been reached on major aspects, and only some specific details are left. At the palace in Yuzhen, the six kings gathered for another two days and finally finalized everything about the battle against Zhen.
According to the results of the negotiation, the six countries of Sichuan, Feng, An, Huan, Mo, and Yu each sent 200,000 troops to form a total army of 1.2 million, gathered in Anguo, and set off from Anguo, first to Shangjing, and then from Shangjing.
Breaking into the territory of Zhenguo. Because they were worried that the 1.2 million troops might not be able to defeat Zhenguo, the six kings needed to mobilize another 200,000 troops from their own countries as backup. Once the front army was frustrated or blocked, the backup army of one million troops could
Follow up immediately.
As for the issue of food and fodder for the coalition forces, it will be decided by the six countries.
On this issue, Tang Yin first proposed that the food and grass for the Feng Army and the Jade Army should be supplied by the other four countries. After all, both Feng and Yu chose to give up the land division and have already suffered a big loss. If the food and grass for the expedition army still need to be supplied by their own country, then
It's so unreasonable.
When Tang Yin feels the need to fight for it, he will never let go of the opportunity, even if he is shameless, he will fight to the end.
The 400,000-strong army went on an expedition to the Zheng Kingdom, and the amount of food and grass they consumed was not a small amount. Tang Yin's idea was to save when he could. If he could pluck the hair out of other countries, why waste his own country's food reserves.
He is very insistent on the issue of food and grass. Xiao Xuan, Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Shao Fang are all a little confused. Is Feng Guo so poor? He even has to ask other countries for food and grass for a mere 400,000 troops. It is really embarrassing.
.If it weren’t for the fact that Feng Jun was good at fighting, I’m afraid they would have been intolerable and would have kicked Feng Guo out of the coalition.
The Feng Kingdom can send out 400,000 troops, but the Jade Kingdom cannot even send out 400,000 troops, and can only send out 300,000 troops at most. The two countries have a total of 700,000 troops, and it is nothing if the food and grass are shared equally among the four countries.
In the end, Xiao Xuan and others accepted Tang Yin's conditions, and the food and grass for the Feng Army and the Jade Army were borne by the four countries of Sichuan, An, Huan, and Mo.
Although the six countries were bargaining over their interests, the legions dispatched were not just a mob, and all the elite central armies of the six countries were sent out.
Sichuan State dispatched the second, third, fourth, and fifth legions of the Central Army. According to Sichuan State's organization, the higher the ranking, the stronger the legion.
The Feng Army dispatched the Pingyuan Army, the Sanshui Army, the Flying Eagle Army and the Huwei Army, each of which was the main force of the Feng Kingdom.
Anguo mobilized 400,000 Central Guards. Anguo's Central Army was divided into five legions: east, south, west, north, and center. The "middle" refers to the Central Guards, which is the legion with the largest number of troops and the strongest combat power among the five legions.
, there are 500,000 Anguo Central Guards, usually stationed near the capital, and their status is equivalent to the direct army of Fengguo.
Huan State dispatched the Gengshen Army, Xinyou Army, Renxu Army, and Guihai Army. It can also be seen from the names of Huan State's legions that Huan State is ambitious and ambitious. Unfortunately, Huan State currently only has twelve legions.
.
Mo State dispatched the Heavenly Power Army and the Heavenly Wrath Army, a cavalry legion of 200,000 and an infantry legion of 200,000.
The Jade Kingdom's expeditionary legions are the Third, Sixth, and Eighth Legions. This is what Jade Kingdom has managed to put together at present. Except for the First Legion staying in the capital, the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Legions are all fighting against each other.
The Mo'an coalition forces had already been wiped out, leaving only the establishment and no strength.
According to the prior agreement, the kings of the six countries would not return to their countries, but would only send letters to the country, mobilize their troops, and come to secure the country.
In addition, Tang Yin also specifically explained in the letter that Emperor Yin Zhun should issue a revolt as soon as possible to give the coalition forces who conquered Zhenguo a legitimate banner.
His letter was sent back to Yancheng, causing an uproar in the Feng Kingdom. No one expected that Li Hong's proclaimed emperor would lead to such a result. The six kingdoms of Feng, Sichuan, An, Huan, Mo, and Yu actually formed an alliance.
Together, they raised their troops and marched together to conquer the Zhen Kingdom.
Qiu Zhen followed Tang Yin's wishes and issued an emergency order, ordering Pingyuan, Sanshui, Tianying and Huwei armies to immediately march to Anguo. On the other side, Zhang Xin, the governor of Suzhou, took Tang Yin's letter and proudly went to the palace to meet him.
Yin Zhun.
The current imperial court is in a state of panic. Most of the ministers are making plans for their future. Of course, there are also some loyal ministers who are mourning the loss of their heirs. As for Yin Zhun, he has not thought about tea or food during these days, and he has not been able to sleep well.
, for fear that he would be suddenly expelled from the palace and become a commoner.
The key to Zhang Xin's arrival was that the news he brought was undoubtedly like a timely rain, which relieved the imperiled imperial court and also made Yin Zhun, who had been frowning for several days, breathe a sigh of relief. Of course Zhang Xin would not let this go.
When given the opportunity to claim credit, in front of Yin Zhen, he spouted nonsense about how much Tang Yin had expended and tried so hard to win over the kings to jointly fight against rebellion, and he also said countless things for the emperor in front of Tang Yin.
Good things to say and so on.
Yin Zhun, who was so excited, had no time to think carefully about his words. If the six kings attack Zhen, the Zhen country will be destroyed, so he, the emperor, can continue to work without any worries.
Seeing Zhang Xin opening and closing his mouth below and talking endlessly, Yin Zhun simply ordered to reward him with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand bolts of silk and satin, and a jade Ruyi that is hard to find for a thousand pieces of gold.
Zhang Xin received the reward and left happily. Yin Zhun couldn't wait to summon all the ministers to announce the good news. At the same time, he also discussed how to write a petition to protest against the rebellion.
The six kings attacked Zhen, and the panic-stricken imperial court immediately stabilized. People worked hard to write this revolt, which was full of literary talent and righteousness. It listed Li Hong's crimes and almost failed to bring him to the throne for eight generations of his ancestors.
After scolding him, it seems that there is no more hateful person in the world and more heinous crimes than Li Hong.
In any case, as soon as the emperor's proclamation against rebellion came out, the world was shocked. People in various countries responded positively and wrote frequently to the courts of various countries, hoping that their monarchs would comply with the imperial edict and send troops to attack the rebels.
In this way, the six kings' dispatch of troops became a matter of course in response to the destiny of heaven and the people's will. The six kings' attack on Zhen was already on the string and was unstoppable.
