After listening to Tang Yin's strategy of encircling the point for reinforcements, Xiao Muqing thought for a long time and said: "Although the king's method is good, the enemy troops in Huaning and Tongcheng are also quite large, with a total of more than 300,000 troops plus the troops in Xitang City.
If the 400,000 Zhenguo Central Army cooperates, they go out to fight at the same time, attack our army from the front and back, and encircle the point for reinforcements, but they will be attacked from both sides!"
Well! Tang Yin nodded secretly, Xiao Muqing's concerns were not unreasonable.
The prerequisite for encirclement and reinforcements is that the reinforcements are not strong enough and our side can easily win. However, there are 300,000 Zhen troops in Huaning and Tongcheng. If we attack together, our strength cannot be underestimated.
He murmured: "If Hua Ning and Tongcheng did not join forces when they came to help, our army could have defeated them individually."
Of course, this is also impossible. With Zhao Huan's mind and talent, how can he give his own side every chance to defeat it?
Xiao Muqing and Ziying looked at each other and did not answer. They both thought the same as Tang Yin and felt that this was unrealistic.
At this moment, Kong Qing suddenly said: "The commander-in-chief of Tongcheng is Guan Zhan. This man is brave but has no strategy. He only knows force but not strategy. However, he has a deep friendship with Zhao Huan and the cooperation between them is very good."
There must be a tacit understanding, and it is indeed difficult to defeat them all. However, if Zhao Huan can be recalled to Xitang by the imperial court and replaced with a general who is at odds with Guan Zhan, then His Highness Feng Wang's "encirclement point for reinforcements" will
This is a feasible strategy!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "General Kong, what method can be used to get the Zhenguo court to recall Zhao Huan and send a general who is at odds with Guan Zhan?"
"This" Kong Qing said in embarrassment: "Although the coalition forces cannot say that they are approaching the city, they are already close to the capital. What the emperor is most afraid of now is the disloyalty of his subordinates. However, if there is a rumor from us that Zhao Huan and the coalition forces are suspected of having an affair,
The Hunjun may not believe it, but if there are close ministers blowing wind in the Hunjun's ears, the effect will be different."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded while listening, his eyes were deep and thoughtful. When Kong Qing came to an end, he raised his head and said, "Keep talking!"
"Many ministers who are loyal to the prince are close ministers around the prince. As long as the prince expresses his position, these close ministers can unite and jointly impeach Zhao Huan. At that time, the fat prince will most likely agree. However, it is not easy to convince the prince.
"
Kong Qing knew Li Dan very well. He was gentle and benevolent, and he also attached great importance to filial piety. Letting the prince liaise with the coalition forces to overthrow his father, Li Hong, would probably be more difficult than climbing to heaven.
He thought it was unlikely, but Tang Yin thought it was an opportunity. If he could really convince Li Dan to find a way to get rid of Zhao Huan, how much blood would be shed and how many soldiers would be killed? The key question is
,How can we convince Li Dan?
Thinking of this, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his mind spinning rapidly.
Using words such as 'Li Dan can inherit the throne after the coalition leader Li Hong abdicates', 'As long as the monarch of the Zhen Kingdom is not Li Hong, the coalition forces can retreat' and so on, may not work to persuade Li Dan. However, if
Removing one person might make Li Dan submit, and that person is Yin Rou.
Tang Yin had met Li Dan before. In the palace in Shangjing, Yin Rou was also present. The way Li Dan looked at her could tell how deep his love for her was. Moreover, Yin Rou was his fiancée.
There is a marriage contract between them, so if you use Yin Rou to seduce him, it is not impossible to succeed.
He stopped, squinted his eyes, turned to Kong Qing and said, "I plan to go to Xitang myself to meet Li Dan!"
As soon as these words came out, the jaws of everyone present almost dropped. Tang Yin was going to Xitang, or to meet the prince of an enemy country. Wouldn't that mean throwing himself into a trap?
Ling Shuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin on the side could no longer remain silent. The three of them said in unison: "Brother Wang (Brother Wang) must not do this!"
Tang Yin smiled slightly and said to the three of them: "Don't forget, our purpose is to 'help Li Dan sit on the throne', and now it is only natural for him to do something for us in turn!"
The argument of letting Li Dan replace Li Hong as King Zhen was used by them to fool the Zhen army. In fact, the coalition forces headed by the Sichuan Kingdom just wanted to carve up the Zhen Kingdom.
Now Tang Yin wants to use this argument to go to Xitang to persuade Li Dan. It is too risky. In the eyes of Lingshuang, Yueze and Li Xin, not only will it not succeed, but it may even cost Tang Yin's life.
"Brother Wang, this matter is very important, you should think twice before you act!" Yue Ze frowned and advised meaningfully.
Tang Yin said sternly: "Persuading Li Dan will not only help us successfully capture Huaning and Tongcheng, but even if we attack Xitang in the future, having Li Dan as an internal support will help me get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, I think this risk is worth taking."
It’s too risky, not to mention that there are brothers from Zhenjun who are willing to help me!” As he spoke, he looked towards Kong Qing.
Kong Qing was shocked and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "If His Highness Feng Wang really wants to enter the capital to meet the Crown Prince, he will eventually find a way to help His Highness enter the city and help His Highness contact the Crown Prince."
In any case, Kong Qing was also a dignified lieutenant general in the Zheng Kingdom, a senior general. He naturally had his connections. Even if he could not compare with Gu Anmin, he was not far behind.
Hearing that Kong Qing was willing to help, Tang Yin's smile grew wider. He looked at Lingshuang and the others and said, "With General Kong's help, you can rest assured, right?"
On the contrary, Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin were even more worried. Although Kong Qing had turned to his side, he was still from Zhen and a lieutenant general of Zhen State. They went with him to Xitang, in case he was halfway.
What should I do if I change my mind and inform the Zhenguo court?
Once Tang Yin is captured by the Zhen Kingdom, Li Hong can take full advantage of this to force the Feng Army to obey the orders of the Zhen Kingdom. Not to mention the collapse of the Zhen Alliance, the coalition will also have to face the military power of the two powerful countries, Feng and Zhen, and the war situation will fall into chaos.
Out of control.
No matter how they thought about it, they all felt that the risks involved were too great, not only related to Tang Yin's life and death, but also related to the success or failure of the battle to defeat Zhen. The three of them shook their heads like rattles, objecting and discouraging Tang Yin.
Don't lose the big for the small.
Tang Yin was a little impatient and asked: "This won't work, that won't work either. Do you princes have a better strategy?"
Li Xin blinked and said tentatively: "How about we go south to Tongcheng and try to get through Tongcheng?"
After hearing this, Tang Yin's nose almost became angry. In Li Xin's mind, fighting was child's play. He still had to give it a try. Can he still afford it if he only had enough food and grass for ten days? Once the city was conquered, it would be more difficult than Hua Ning.
If we fight, how will we respond?
He was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore, so he turned around and said to Kong Qing: "General Kong, I leave it to you to send me to Xitang. It must be done quickly. It is best to get it done tomorrow!"
This time, without waiting for Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin to object, Xiao Muqing and Ziying stood up and whispered to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, we still have time now, and we can think of other countermeasures. Why take the risk?"
Such a big risk?”
Tang Yin said with a deep look: "If we are evenly matched, how can we win quickly if we don't take risks?"
"But" before the two of them spoke, Shangguan Yuanrang took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "You two don't need to persuade the king anymore. This time, I will go with the king. It's just the West Tang, and it's not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. Why can't I go there?"
As long as nothing happens, that’s it. If something happens, I will rush directly into the palace and chop off Li Hong’s head!”
There really are some people who are not afraid of big things! Xiao Muqing and Ziying looked at the arrogant and arrogant Shangguan Yuanrang, dumbfounded. Before they could say anything, Jiang Fan also stood up and said, "The final general is also willing to go with the king!"
Two of the four great generals of the Feng Kingdom came forward to express their opinions. Xiao Muqing and Ziying looked at each other and swallowed back the words that were on their lips.
The support of the two of them will definitely make the king more confident. In this case, it is useless to persuade him. In addition, having the protection of Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan can indeed make the king's situation safer. Even if his whereabouts are exposed, he will be in trouble.
The two of them couldn't defeat the enemy with force, but they could still cover the king's escape.
Xiao Muqing and Ziying stopped talking, and no one from the Feng Kingdom expressed any objection. Lingshuang glanced at the generals of the Feng Kingdom in disbelief, wondering if they were all crazy, and they were actually willing to let their king risk such a thing.
and other risks.
At this time, her heart was already in her throat. Maybe even Lingshuang herself didn't notice it. She was so nervous at this time, as if she was going to take the risk herself.
She said to Tang Yin in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, Xitang is the capital of the Zhen Kingdom. There are not only hundreds of thousands of Zhen soldiers in the city, but also the famous generals and fierce generals of the Zheng Kingdom. Even if there are General Shangguan and General Jiang Fan to protect the king,
Brother, who can guarantee that everything will be foolproof? Brother Wang wants to go to Xitang, but Sister Wang will never agree. If Brother Wang insists on going,"
Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and came to Tang Yin, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Then, don't blame Sister Wang for revealing everything. Let's see if Kong Qing is still willing to help Brother Wang?!"
Her words made Tang Yin's expression change, but he quickly returned to normal and said in the same low voice: "I believe Sister Wang will not do such a stupid thing!"
"If Brother Wang doesn't care about doing stupid things, why should Sister Wang care?"
Tang Yin could tell that this little girl Lingshuang was determined to fight against him to the end. He shook his head with a wry smile and asked, "Sister Wang, do you think I am someone who hates life?"
Lingshuang replied subconsciously: "Brother Wang, of course not."
"In this case, if I am not sure, how can I risk my life?" Seeing that Lingshuang wanted to speak, he immediately added: "Li Dan is a person who can be used by us. If we don't fight for it, then
It's such a pity. He is the crown prince of Zhenguo. He holds a high position in the government and has his own party. If Li Dan is willing to stand on our side, it will be easy to conquer Xitang. Li Dan is a person I have known before.
I’ve met him before, although I don’t know much about him, but I know what I can use to impress him!”
