Gong Song's words surprised Tang Yin. The latter paused for a moment, and then said semi-tentatively: "It is a blessing for the coalition that people like Mr. Gong are willing to be loyal to the coalition!"
"No! Weichen will not be loyal to the coalition." Gong Song immediately denied it and lowered his voice: "I don't know what the kings are like, and I don't want to know. However, Weichen trusts His Highness Feng Wang, and he also
I only trust His Highness the Wind King."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, met Gong Song's eyes, looked at him for a while, smiled, and said: "I am deeply gratified by Lord Gong's trust in me. No matter what Lord Gong's plans are or where he wants to go in the future.
, the door of Feng Kingdom will always be open to Lord Gong, and there will also be a place for Lord Gong in the court of Feng Kingdom!"
There is no need! Gong Song muttered in his heart. He had never thought about leaving Zhen Kingdom, let alone defecting to Feng Kingdom. He simply admired and trusted Tang Yin.
However, Tang Yin is the Feng King, and it is a great honor for him to be able to say such words to Gong Song. Even if he refuses, he cannot say it directly. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Wei Chen, thank you, Your Highness, the Feng King."
Love!"
"Originally, Wei Chen also planned to keep His Highness Feng Wang and the princes to have meals in the city, but not all soldiers could accept Wei Chen's idea. Therefore, in order to avoid unexpected things, Wei Chen could only send His Highness Feng Wang as soon as possible.
I'm out of the city. I hope Your Highness won't take offense to my negligence." Gong Song said it very tactfully. Not to mention that some Zhenjun officers and soldiers could not agree with his approach, even many people in Nanyue would not agree.
Once trouble breaks out, even the county chief Gong Song may not be able to control the situation. He does not dare to let Tang Yin and the other three kings stay in the city for one second for fear of long nights and dreams.
Tang Yin nodded in understanding and sighed: "Master Gong has done enough. If you still feel that there is any neglect, it will make me feel bad."
Hearing this, Gong Song grinned involuntarily and saluted Tang Yin again.
At this time, Yue Ze and Li Xin also walked out of the city gate under the protection of many guards. They saw Tang Yin and Gong Song chatting happily. The two came up and asked with a smile: "Why is Brother Tang so happy talking to Mr. Gong?"
?”
"It's nothing, I just want to ask Master Gong about the history of Nanyue City." Tang Yin didn't want Yue Ze and Li Xin to notice Gong Song's closeness to him. He said with a smile: "The two brothers don't know yet, right?
Nanyue City has a history of more than 800 years, so it can be considered an ancient city!"
When Yue Ze and Li Xin heard this, they were immediately interested. Neither of them had the slightest interest in the history of Nanyue. After Tang Yin finished speaking, they both made a few perfunctory remarks and walked away.
The five-nation coalition forces of Feng, Yu, An, Huan, and Zhen, with millions of soldiers and horses, together with the army's grain, grass, and baggage, took most of a day to pass through Nanyue City, from dawn to dusk.
By the time all the troops had passed, it was late at night, and the coalition forces did not plan to station near Nanyue, but were preparing to march overnight. The four kings Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin bid farewell to Gong Song.
Before leaving, Tang Yin did not forget to remind him: "Sir Gong, in the future, the food and supplies for our army will inevitably have to pass through Nanyue, and we will also need a lot of help from Mr. Gong!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness King Feng, I will definitely cooperate with you to ensure that the major events of the coalition are not delayed!" Gong Song said sternly.
"This is the best!" Yue Ze interjected, shaking his head and saying: "If the coalition's war is delayed because of you, and the coalition forces turn back, your Nanyue City will probably be destroyed."
After leaving the east city of Nanyue, Yue Ze also found that the city defense on the east side of Nanyue was very weak. Compared with the city defense on the west, there was a huge difference. If they attacked from the east, even Yue Ze could see that his own army would not waste any time.
The force of blowing dust can break the defense.
Gong Song was not a person who was greedy for life and feared death. He was willing to let the coalition forces pass in order to save the Zheng Kingdom and promoted Prince Li Dan to the throne. He helped the coalition forces, but not only did he not get gratitude, he was also threatened by Yue Zenu. He was furious.
His face also darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Tang Yin spoke first and reprimanded with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Brother King Yue, since Mr. Gong is willing to help, how can he turn around and hold back the coalition forces? Brother Yue Wang has more
Don’t worry, Master Gong is not such a capricious villain!"
"Of course it's for the best if that's the case." Yue Ze also heard Tang Yin's complaint, grinned widely, and laughed dryly.
No longer giving him a chance to ramble, Tang Yin said to Gong Song: "Master Gong, let's say goodbye. I believe we will meet again soon."
"I respectfully send you your Highness King Feng!" Gong Song first saluted Tang Yin, and then said: "Your Highness King Yue, Your Highness King Huan, and Your Highness King Jade!"
Tang Yin waved his hand, got on his horse, turned back and looked at Nanyue City in the night, without further delay, urged the horses and continued to lead the army to the west.
After passing Nanyue and heading west, we are close to the junction of Xiangshan County and Longhu County. As long as we pass through Longhu County, the coalition forces can go straight to Xitang.
It can be said that Longhu County in front is the last barrier for the Zhenguo capital. Of course, Longhu County's military strength is unmatched by other places.
Yue Ze and Li Xin had always been pampered and could not bear the pain of marching, especially now when they were marching day and night. Not long after leaving Nanyue, they felt tired and sleepy, so they both proposed to Tang Yin that the entire army be stationed temporarily.
, wait until dawn before leaving.
Tang Yin shook his head and objected. Longhu County is the last barrier to Xitang. There are a large number of Zhenguo local troops stationed here, and the Zhenguo Central Army will be able to rush over at any time for reinforcements. It will be extremely difficult to advance. At present, we have not made any moves.
The gun passed through Nanyue smoothly, which was definitely something Longhu County never expected. If they did not take this opportunity to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared, it would be a waste of a great opportunity.
Although what he said made sense, Yue Ze and Li Xin still felt that it would take just a few hours to defeat the enemy. They should rest for half a night so that all the soldiers in the army could recuperate their mental and physical strength so that they could exert their full strength on the battlefield.
Tang Yin secretly smiled bitterly. There is no one who does not endure hardships in a war. If he was afraid of hardships, he should not have chosen to join the army in the first place! Seeing that Yueze and Li Xin were resolute, the officers of Anjun and Huanjun also had tired faces and yawned again and again.
, he pondered for a moment and said: "Let's do this. The central army and the rear army will be stationed here to rest, while the front army continues on its way and strives to enter Longhu County before dawn."
It is impossible for the five-nation coalition forces of Feng, Yu, An, Huan, and Zhen to gather together millions of troops and divide them into the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, which are the so-called three armies.
The front army has 100,000 troops, the center army has 700,000 troops, and the rear army has 200,000 troops. As monarchs, Tang Yin, Ling Shuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin are among the center troops with the largest number of troops.
Hearing that the central and rear armies could stop and rest, Yue Ze and Li Xin no longer objected. They nodded and said, "That's good. If the front army rushes forward, it can attack them unprepared without affecting the combat effectiveness of the entire army."
Tang Yin said: "I will continue on the road with the front army, which can be regarded as a vanguard."
Yue Ze did not express his position, but Li Xin persuaded with some worry: "Brother Tang, don't be so desperate, right? We don't know what's going on ahead, but what if an accident happens? I think Brother Tang should stay with us in the Chinese army!"
"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "What accident can happen? If an accident does happen, it is better to have a monarch present to control the situation than nothing."
"But"
"I understand Brother Li Wang's kindness, but there is no need to worry." Tang Yin said with a smile: "I guess nothing unexpected will happen."
Seeing that he was confident in what he said, Li Xin could not persuade him anymore, but Lingshuang continued: "Sister Wang is willing to go with Brother Wang."
Tang Yin shrugged nonchalantly and said, "That's fine, if Sister Wang doesn't mind the hard work."
Lingshuang said with a smile: "Brother Wang underestimates Sister Wang too much. Sister Wang is not a person who is afraid of hard work."
Her casual words made Yue Ze and Li Xin blush, but they had a tacit understanding of pretending to be deaf and dumb, and neither of them answered.
Tang Yin and Lingshuang went to the front army and led the front army to continue the emergency march. The coalition's front army was mainly composed of the Zhen Army, supplemented by the Feng, Yu, An, and Huan armies. The main general of the front army was not Zhen General, but Zhen General.
Lieutenant General Ling Hui of the Jade Kingdom.
With the arrival of Tang Yin and Ling Shuang, the strength of the front army increased again. The two accompanying guards alone totaled more than 10,000 people.
Rushing late at night, and in an unfamiliar place, it is easy to go astray or get lost. Fortunately, the main force of the front army is the Zhen Army. On their own country, they are familiar with the roads and march westward overnight. The whole army is still very fast.
After walking in a hurry for most of the night, the sky was already white. Looking forward, the mountains in front had become bare, and what they saw was an earthy yellow color. This gave Tang Yin and Lingshuang the illusion that they were back in Guping County.
.
Just as the two of them were looking at each other, a general from the front came running over. When he came to Tang Yin and Lingshuang, he first bowed his hands and saluted, then pointed to the front and said: "Your Highness the Wind King, Your Highness the Jade King, that's the top of the dragon."
Mountain, entering Longding Mountain means entering Longhu County."
"Yes!" Lingshuang nodded and asked: "General Kong, it is said that there is a fortress on the border of Longhu County?"
The name of this loyal general was Kong Qing, and he was also a confidant of Gu Anmin. He said seriously: "That's right! It's Longding Fortress, located behind Longding Mountain. There are about 20,000 troops stationed there. The leader is Hou Qiu, and the force is strong.
Not to be underestimated.”
Lingshuang asked: "What is the relationship between this Hou Qiu and your General Gu?"
It would be great if Gu Anmin could be used to persuade the other party to surrender without fighting.
Kong Qing smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Hou Qiu is General Nie Ze's confidant, and my general is incompatible with each other!"
Nie Ze! Lingshuang had only heard of this person, but Tang Yin was very familiar with this name.
