Zhang Tong's spiritual skills are pretty good, but his mind is mediocre and he is far less cunning and cunning than Zhang Zhihong. Even if he becomes the general of Beicheng, he still can't think of a good way to get the Feng army into the city for a while.
In the end, Zhang Zhihong gave him an idea, asking him to send an army out of the city at night, using the excuse of a sneak attack on Feng Camp, and then let the Feng army return disguised as the Ning army. In this way, the Feng army would go smoothly.
Entered the city.
Zhang Tong always looked up to his uncle and even praised the idea as a good one. He immediately nodded and accepted it. Then, Zhang Zhihong wrote down the planned plan in detail and handed it to the Feng Kingdom spies in the mansion, who then passed the letter to
The Fengjun outside the city, as for the time, is set at midnight tomorrow night.
In addition, Zhang Zhihong also wrote a complicated list to Tang Yin in his letter. The people on the list were either ministers of the court or relatives of the king. Zhang Zhihong wrote very clearly in the letter that these people were Yan Chu's confidants.
They are loyal to Yan Chu. After Feng Jun enters the city, he should deal with these people first.
Of course, he was also using the help of the Feng Army to eradicate dissidents and those who would cause obstacles for him to become king.
Zhang Zhihong's letter was delivered outside the city by the Flying Pigeon, a spy from the Sky Eye. Because the content of the letter was very large and very important, the Detective from the Sky Eye deliberately divided it into several parts when delivering the letter. Even if one or two carrier pigeons were discovered by Ning Jun, the incomplete letter was
It's impossible to find anything.
The carrier pigeon was released out of the city overnight without any interception. Lotte, who was in Fengying, received seven or eight letters one after another, and then immediately sorted them out and pieced them together to confirm that they were not missing.
Then it was handed over to Tang Yin for his review.
At this time, Tang Yin was resting in his sleeping tent. When he heard that there was a letter sent from Liangzhou City, he subconsciously rolled up from the bed and said urgently: "Bring it to me quickly!"
Ever since he killed Gao Shuping, Tang Yin had been waiting for news about Zhang Zhihong. Now that a message had finally arrived, his heart was in his throat.
Letian entered the tent and handed Zhang Zhihong's letter to Tang Yin. At this time, a guard took out a fire stick and lit the lampstand in the sleeping tent.
It didn't matter to Tang Yin whether there was light or not, he was most concerned about the content of the letter.
He read Zhang Zhihong's letter carefully from beginning to end, then raised the corners of his mouth, chuckled lightly, and blurted out: "The great thing has been accomplished!" As he spoke, he shook the letter paper between his legs and asked: "Lotte, what's in the letter?"
Have you read the content?”
Lotte shook his head and said, "I haven't read it yet." He had compiled the letter himself, and he basically understood the content. The reason why he said he hadn't read it was mainly to avoid suspicion.
Tang Yin handed the letter to Letian and said with a smile, "Take a look."
Lotte took it and read the letter seriously this time. He looked surprised at first, and then asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is there any fraud in this? What if the other party is planning a trap in the city?
What should I do if he is so ambushed and deliberately lures our troops into the city?"
Tang Yin nodded with a smile, shook his head, and said, "It's commendable that you can still be cautious at this time, but there is definitely no fraud involved."
"Does your Majesty trust Zhang Zhihong so much?"
"It's not that I can trust him, but it's just that based on the content, there won't be any fraud."
Seeing Letian's expression of confusion, Tang Yin smiled again and explained: "According to Zhang Zhihong's plan, Zhang Tong will send 3,000 Ning troops to sneak attack our camp, so the most we can do is send 3,000 soldiers in disguise.
If Ning Jun sneaks into Liangzhou, if there is fraud, Zhang Zhihong can open the city gate with great fanfare to lure more of our army in. He only counts 3,000 people. Even if he succeeds, it will not cause any loss to our army.
"
Letian thought about it carefully and realized that this was also the case. He nodded and said, "What the king said is absolutely true. I am too worried." After a pause, he asked again: "Your Majesty, do you want to raise your account now and call all the generals here?
Negotiate?”
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded. Seeing that Letian was about to walk out, he stretched out his hand to stop him again and said, "Forget it, let's let everyone have a good night's sleep! Everyone is exhausted these days... Yes
Yes, there should still be a lot of Ning Army armor and uniforms in our army's baggage, right?"
Lotte smiled and said: "Don't say three thousand sets, even thirty thousand sets will be no problem."
Tang Yin was completely relieved after hearing this. He waved to Letian and said, "You should also go back and rest. Tomorrow night, we will have a big battle!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! I'm sorry to leave you!" Letian bowed deeply and then slowly withdrew.
After Lotte left, Tang Yin read the letter again, then closed his eyes and meditated.
Only three thousand people can be sent to sneak into the city, and these three thousand people have to play the role of controlling the city gate. At least before a large group of our own troops enter the city, the city gate must be firmly controlled, and the city must not be allowed to
The door is closed.
The Ning army in Beicheng is at least about 50,000. Three thousand people have to withstand 50,000 enemy troops. Even if it doesn't take too long, it is not easy to do it. If there is Pingyuan Army, it will be easier to do it, but unfortunately now I
There are simply no elite soldiers in hand who can defeat ten with one.
Tang Yin really spent a lot of time thinking about which three thousand people should be sent to dress up as Ning Jun. After much deliberation, he could not think of a suitable candidate. In the end, he could only decide on the bodyguards around him.
His bodyguards were all selected from the Pingyuan Army. They were the best among the best. However, Tang Yin was reluctant to send them there. He sighed softly and simply stopped thinking about it. He would wait until tomorrow after discussing with the generals.
Make a decision again.
The next day, in the morning, Tang Yin raised his tent.
After all the generals in the army arrived, Tang Yin took out Zhang Zhihong's letter and gave it to Letian, asking him to read it to everyone.
After everyone heard this, they were all surprised and happy. It seemed that by tonight, we would be able to successfully attack Liangzhou.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said in a calm tone: "Don't be too happy, everyone. The city will only send 3,000 Ning troops out of the city. We can only send 3,000 soldiers to sneak into the city, and there are tens of thousands of Ning troops in the north city."
, if three thousand soldiers want to buy time for the large group behind to enter the city, they have to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Ning troops!"
Yes! Can three thousand soldiers withstand tens of thousands of Ning troops do this?
After listening to his words, people looked at each other with worried expressions.
Upon seeing this, Tang Yin said again: "I plan to draw three thousand elites from the guards around me. What do you think?"
Qiu Zhen immediately frowned, and without waiting for others to answer, he spoke first: "The bodyguards are the king's personal troops and are responsible for protecting the king's safety. They should not be involved in the battle unless it is absolutely necessary, let alone this time.
The mission is a narrow escape, so sending the guards there is... inappropriate!" It was simply a waste of elites. He added silently in his heart.
Why would Tang Yin be willing to send the guards around him who he got along with day and night as cannon fodder? But he really couldn't think of any other candidates.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Gu Yue stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you can raise an army for a thousand days, but it can be used in one moment. These three thousand soldiers can be sent out by the army directly under my command!"
Tang Yin looked at Guyue, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Can the direct army... do it?"
Guyue said sternly: "Although the direct army is not as brave and good at fighting as the plain army, it is not difficult to select three thousand elite soldiers with one to ten. The final general is willing to personally lead three thousand death squads and swear to the death to keep the city gate intact."
Tang Yin took a breath, he was even more worried because Gu Yue wanted to join the battle in person. He was about to speak when Cheng Jin also stepped out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to take Brother An Jian to go with General Gu."
As soon as he finished speaking, several more generals stood up, all young generals, including Nan Ye, Li Sheng, Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan and other generals. They all asked for tassels in unison: "Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to go with us.
!”
In the Feng Army, there is never a shortage of people who take the initiative to volunteer, no matter how dangerous and difficult the task is.
Tang Yin smiled, glanced at the generals, nodded, and praised: "Well, he is indeed my iron-blooded man in Dafeng." After speaking, he stood up and said: "Gu Yue, Nan Ye, Li Shengliu
Next, the other brothers can go out and fight!"
The invited generals stepped in to take orders one after another. Guyue, Nanye, and Li Sheng were puzzled. They looked at each other and asked in unison: "Why does the king want us to stay?"
Tang Yin said seriously: "You are all the commanders of an army. If you want to command the entire army and charge into battle, you should leave it to other brothers!"
Nanye and Li Sheng were unwilling to give in, but the king had already spoken, and they did not dare to say anything more. However, Gu Yue refused to give in. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, the general will personally select the three thousand death squads. Since the general will choose these brothers
If we push them to the gate of hell, we have the responsibility to bring them back from the gate of hell. We will live and die together, advance and retreat together with the soldiers under our command. This is what the king often says. As the commander-in-chief of the army directly under his command, how can he let his brothers bleed and fight in front of him?
, but you sit back and enjoy the success? Your Majesty, please be prepared to go with your generals and soldiers!"
"this……"
Tang Yin's eyes widened at first, then narrowed again, staring straight at Guyue, speechless for a long time.
This battle is unusual and extremely dangerous. A careless person may take his life. Gu Yue is his old subordinate and one of the earliest veterans to follow him. He has always been conscientious and loyal to him. Tang Yin is really
I couldn't bear to let him take risks.
But Gu Yue has already said it this way. If he continues to oppose strongly, his selfishness will be too obvious.
He was silent for a long time, then Fang slowly asked: "You...really decided?" He was giving Guyue the last step.
Guyue obviously did not realize what Tang Yin meant. He nodded heavily and responded: "Yes! The general has made up his mind. Please give me your permission!"
Tang Yin sighed secretly, looked directly at Guyue for a moment, waved his hand fiercely and said, "That's right!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tang Yin was worried and depressed now. He took out a command arrow from the table and threw it at Guyue. He said in a deep voice: "If you can't guard the city gate, come back and see me!"
Guyue had followed Tang Yin for so long, how could he not understand his temper? Knowing that these were Tang Yin's angry words, he still picked up the command arrow with a smile, held it up high, and said: "I will obey your orders!"
