Tang Yin's use of Jiang Hao really worked wonders. Jiang Hao worked hard for his future fame and career.
According to the method Tang Yin taught him, he first won over the literati among the people, and then spread rumors, falsely claiming that the allied forces of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan were coming soon. Once the armies of the four countries arrived, all the Zhen people would
They have to be killed.
If you want to protect yourself, there is only one way, and that is to give up being a pure person and become a wind person. As long as you become a wind person, no one will dare to hurt them again.
Mere threats did not frighten the people of Zhen Kingdom. Then the literati headed by Jiang Hao threw out bait, saying that they could just move to Feng Kingdom and immediately have a large area of land to claim without having to do corvee or pay any taxes.
Taxes, government and various rewards will help them, the people of Zhen Kingdom, settle down and buy houses, etc. In their words, Feng Kingdom has become a paradise.
As long as you move to Feng Country, there will be so many benefits. It is impossible to say that people will not be moved at all. After the rumors gradually began to take effect, Jiang Hao and others used the last resort to spread the theory of national subjugation.
.
They criticized Li Hong, the king of Zhen, saying that Li Hong's proclaiming the emperor was a treasonous act and had been punished by heaven. Now that the armies of the six countries are attacking the Zhen Kingdom, the Zhen Kingdom will be destroyed. The people of the Zhen Kingdom will eventually be killed or reduced to slaves.
Waiting for death and suffering, it is better to turn to the Feng Kingdom. Moreover, Tang Yin has already been praised by them as an unparalleled lord in heaven and earth.
Under the vigorous instigation of these traitorous literati, the people of Zhenguo, who were mostly old, weak, women and children, began to waver. As long as someone started, it would spread as quickly as the plague until most people accepted the move.
During the Kingdom, the few remaining people who stood firm were also affected by the surrounding environment and gradually changed their minds.
Within three days, hundreds of thousands of people from the Zhen Kingdom accepted the request to move to the Feng Kingdom. After learning about this, Tang Yin could not be said to be particularly happy, because this had been expected by him. He ordered those who had been moved to the Feng Kingdom to be transferred to the Feng Kingdom.
All the captured Zhen soldiers were put into the camp where the civilians were imprisoned, and they were reunited with their families. In addition, he also asked people to find people whose families were serving as defenders in Huan City, and asked them to write letters to persuade their families to abandon the Zhen soldiers.
Leave the city and follow them to Feng Country to live a stable and comfortable life.
Soon, the Fengyu Allied Forces gathered up the letters written by the common people. The number was so large that it contained six large baskets, and it was estimated that there must be at least more than 10,000 letters.
That night, Tang Yin sent secret arrows to quietly deliver the six baskets of letters to the vicinity of Huancheng, and placed flags on them to clearly mark them.
The next day, Juan's defenders soon discovered six large baskets of things placed not far from the city gate. They didn't know what they contained, but looking from a distance, they looked full.
Since there was no Feng Jun nearby, the Zhen soldiers were not worried about being deceived, so they sent two men with ropes tied around their waists to come down from the city wall and go outside the city to check what was going on.
After two chaste soldiers discovered that the baskets were full of letters, they shouted to the city. Then, a dozen more chaste soldiers tied ropes and went outside the city to carry the six large baskets of letters back into the city.
People poured out the letters and gathered them together, forming a pile like a hill.
Many Zhen soldiers who came after hearing the news found their names among the many letters. They hurriedly took them out and opened them. When they looked at them, their eyes all turned red.
Letters are all letters from home, and the content inside is a call from your loved ones to you. There is no weapon more powerful than this.
Why did Zhenren join the army? He said it was to fight for the country. The fundamental reason was to fight for his homeland. Now that his relatives have gone to Feng Kingdom, why did he stay in Zhenguo and fight to the death? Why are he still fighting?
These more than 10,000 letters from family members completely destroyed the military morale of Huan's defenders. Even those Zhenjun soldiers who had not received the letters were upset and wished they could leave the city and reunite with their families.
That night, civil strife broke out in Juan City.
Tens of thousands of loyal soldiers led by two regiment commanders suddenly turned against each other, stormed into the city lord's palace at night, and hacked Guan Tai to death while he was still sleeping. Afterwards, people chopped off his head and carried his head away.
Dongcheng, forced the defenders of Dongcheng to open the city gate and let the Fengyu coalition troops enter the city.
In the Battle of Huan, the Fengyu Allied Forces captured the city of Huan in one fell swoop without even using a single sword or shot. This also proves the saying that attacking the city is the most important thing, while attacking the heart is the most important thing.
Tang Yin first won over the literati, and then the people of Zhenguo. This was tantamount to forcing the defenders whose relatives had been arrested to defect, and at the same time completely severing relations with Zhenguo.
The head of the county was dead, the regiment commander and most of his fellow soldiers defected to the Feng Kingdom, and the remaining Zhen soldiers also gave up resistance. The reason why the Zhen army was able to surrender so simply was because Li Hong's proclaimed emperor was unpopular.
This incident is also directly related. In people's subconscious, the reason why Zhenguo attracted the army of the six countries to join forces to attack was entirely caused by Li Hong. It was Li Hong's rebellion that triggered the wrath of heaven. No wonder others have this kind of behavior.
Thoughts are exactly the evil consequences that Li Hong himself had sown before.
Tang Yin acted very quickly. He captured Huan that night and began to organize troops the next day to send the previously captured people of Zhen State and the people in Huan City to Feng State.
Of course, there were many people in Huan City who were unwilling to leave. At this time, the fangs of the Feng Army were exposed. Tang Yin directly ordered that all the people in Huan should be killed, whether with knives, people, or even by force.
Take him back to Feng Country.
The previous hundreds of thousands of people plus the people in Juan City, the total number is close to one million. It is impossible for the Fengyu Coalition to cover the migration of these many people. On the way to Feng Country, it is inevitable that some people will regret and escape, but then
It can no longer change the overall situation.
When the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces arrived belatedly and arrived at Huan, the place had almost become an empty city, with only the Feng Army and the Jade Army remaining inside.
It stands to reason that the Sichuan-Mozambique coalition should have arrived long ago, but the two armies had selfish motives and wanted to hand over Juan's hard bone to the Fengyu coalition. As a result, they were delayed on the road and marched slowly, which delayed them for several days.
After understanding the current situation, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang asked Tang Yin why he wanted to plunder the people of Zhen Kingdom to Feng Kingdom. The answer Tang Yin gave was that his side wanted to fight to the death with the upcoming Central Army of Zhen Kingdom in Huan, leaving the people behind.
In the city, the food and fodder were wasted and the precautions were taken, but the gain was not worth the loss, so he was directly escorted back to Feng Kingdom, and everything was over.
Of course, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang could not accept his statement. Even a fool could see that Tang Yin was plundering the population of Zhen Kingdom.
After hearing the two people's questioning, Tang Yin simply opened the door to speak frankly and said bluntly: "What did our agreement say at the beginning? I said that when the Feng Army sent troops to the Zhen Kingdom, all the spoils obtained would belong to the Feng Kingdom itself. Remember
, it’s ‘everything’! This ‘everything’ naturally includes people.”
Shao Fang still wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Tang Yin did indeed say that at the beginning.
He looked at Xiao Xuan and asked what he meant with his eyes. Xiao Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Tang Wang, there is no need to be angry. We are just asking casually, don't take it to heart."
Xiao Xuan knows what is more important. To deal with the massive Zhenguo Central Army, Feng Jun must not be left out. It is not wise to fall out with Feng Jun now. Furthermore, he does not value Zhen Ren very much. In his eyes
, there is no difference between Zhen and uncivilized barbarians. It would not be a pity to kill them all. It just allowed Tang Yin to plunder Feng Country and take advantage, which made him feel uncomfortable, but it was not enough to make him and Tang Yin quarrel.
To the point of falling out.
What he said was tantamount to acquiescing to Tang Yin's actions. Shao Fang couldn't hold on to it any longer, so he just laughed and stopped asking any more questions about the matter.
Canglin County, which had lost nearly one million people, seemed to be in a lot of depression, but Tang Yin still refused to give up. With Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang both acquiescing, he intensified his efforts and commanded the Feng Army unscrupulously.
They ran around, captured the people of the Zheng Kingdom, gathered them together, and transported them back to their home country.
The Sichuan and Mozambique armies did not want to be wasted in Canglin County, so Xiao Xuan and Shao proposed to Tang Yin that they should continue to advance westward. According to the original plan, the Fengyu coalition forces attacked Guping County, and the Sichuan-Mozambique coalition forces attacked Xinfeng County.
Tang Yin didn't say anything about their suggestions, but Lingshuang frowned and said, "We divide our troops into two groups and capture two counties. What if we encounter the Central Army of Zhen Kingdom on the way?"
Xiao Xuan said seriously: "When one side encounters an enemy, the other side will immediately reinforce it."
"What if the reinforcements are not timely?" The Fengyu Allied Forces and the Sichuan-Mo Allied Forces each have a strength of 400,000, and the Zhenguo Central Army coming from Xitang also has 400,000, 400,000 vs. 400,000. How can we fight against Zhen when they do not have an advantage in strength?
Do the military engage in head-to-head confrontation?
"If the other side really doesn't have time to reinforce, we can also ask the Anhuan Army from behind to come for reinforcements!" Xiao Xuan said confidently.
According to his estimate, the Zhenguo Central Army who came for reinforcements would most likely go to Guping County, where the road is relatively smooth, and it was the Fengyu Allied Forces that attacked Guping. In other words, the Fengyu Allied Forces encountered the Zhenguo Central Army.
The probability is far greater than that of the Sichuan-Moscow coalition, which is why he is eager to advance westward.
The roads in Guping County are flat, while Xinfeng County has many rugged mountain roads. The 400,000-strong army will definitely choose to take the flat road when marching. At this time, Xiao Xuan proposed to march westward, which was equivalent to pushing the Fengyu coalition army into a pit of fire.
Lingshuang's face turned red with anger, but Xiao Xuan said it lightly. If they encounter the Zhen army, they can rescue them immediately. But what if the Sichuan-Mo coalition forces and the Anhuan coalition forces don't come to rescue them?
She still wanted to speak, but Tang Yin waved his hand and said calmly: "I think, let's do what Brother Xiao Wang wants!"
"But……"
"No matter who encounters the Zhenjun, with the strength of Fengyu and Chuanmo, they may not lose!" Tang Yin said nonchalantly.
