There is another very important reason for the ministers of Mo State to oppose aid to Feng. Once Mo State joins the war, the mainland will be the battlefield. On the contrary, Feng State belongs to the rear and will not be implicated in the war. This is a great disadvantage to Mo State.
fair.
Their opposition was not unreasonable, so Shao Fang only decided not to send troops to attack Feng, but he could not decide to send troops to reinforce Feng.
The main purpose of Lu She's trip was to prevent Mo Guo from participating in the Fa Feng Alliance. Since Shao Fang has made a clear statement that Mo Guo will not participate, his mission can be considered accomplished.
As for asking Mo State to send troops to assist Feng State and bring the war to Mo State itself, this is too difficult for the Mo people to accept. Lu She does not have such illusions for the time being, but he believes that once Feng State reaches a critical moment,
, Mo Country will still help Feng, but it is impossible for Mo Country to just watch Feng Country perish.
Lu She's mission to Mo Country was successfully completed, and Gao Liangjie's mission to Jade Country went even more smoothly.
The reason why the Jade Kingdom did not join the Feng-Fighting Alliance had little to do with Gao Liang Festival, but rather the lightning-fast annexation of the Ning Kingdom by the Feng Kingdom shocked the Jade people.
The Jade State, which borders the Ning State, knows the strength of the Ning State very well. The Ning State, which is so powerful, was attacked by the Feng State and annexed the capital in one fell swoop. This shows how powerful the Feng Army is, even if the four powerful states of Sichuan, Zhen, An, and Huan join forces.
The final result of the crusade against Feng Country is not certain yet. Making a decision rashly before the situation is clear is inconsistent with the national policy of the Jade Kingdom. Therefore, the Lord of the Jade Kingdom, Ling Shuang, has not yet received an audience with Gao Liangjie.
Under such circumstances, the decision was made not to participate in the fight against the wind.
The mission to the Jade Kingdom on Gaoliang Festival was just a formality. After being entertained by the Jade Kingdom, I returned home satisfied.
The two neighboring countries, Mo and Yu, did not participate in the fight against the wind, which made Tang Yinke let out a long sigh of relief.
After all, these two countries are too close to the Feng Kingdom. Once troops are sent out, there is no problem of traveling long distances. The military strength can remain at its peak. However, the four countries of Sichuan, Zhen, An, and Huan are different. The four-nation coalition army traveled thousands of miles to the Feng Kingdom.
, without fighting, just going all the way is enough to consume more than half of their combat power. This is also one of the biggest bargaining chips for Feng Country to resist the four-nation coalition.
Tang Yin led his army back to the country, and together with the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army fighting in the south, they both returned home. All the war in the south of Ning State was handed over to the Mo Army.
Now, the largest force in the southern part of the Ning Kingdom is Changsun Yuanhong's army. When the Feng Army attacked Liangzhou, Changsun Yuanhong also wanted to go north to rescue him, but the way north was cut off by the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army. In addition, the Feng Army captured Liangzhou.
Zhou's speed was so fast that even Changsun Yuanhong found it incredible.
After learning that Liangzhou was lost and King Yan Chu was killed, Changsun Yuanhong faced three choices. One was to go north to recapture the capital. However, the Yan clan had been massacred by the Feng army, and even recapturing the capital would be meaningless.
What's more, the hope of recapturing the capital is still slim. After all, the Sky Eagle Army is stationed there. If we cannot attack for a long time, and the Mo army behind pursues us again, we will be in danger of annihilation. Secondly, he led his troops to continue to stay in Yue.
Gate Pass, but this is also an unwise move. The capital city has fallen, the king has been killed, and all cities and counties are panicked and have no time to take care of themselves. Our own logistics and supplies will be a problem. Staying at Yuemen Pass is equivalent to staying in a place of death. So.
, after much deliberation, he only had the third way to go, retreating to the southwest of Ningguo.
Changsun Yuanhong has been working in the southwest of Ning for many years. He is very familiar with the place and has a high reputation. He responds to every call. The most important thing is that he has a strong backup in the southwest of Yue, who can help him at any time to resist the enemy.
.Out of these considerations, Changsun Yuanhong decided to abandon Yuemen Pass and led his troops to retreat to the southwest.
It is difficult to say whether his choice at this time was right or wrong. However, Changsun Yuanhong did not go north to attack Liangzhou, which gave Feng Jun a chance to breathe and completely stabilized the situation in the eight counties of Ningbei.
However, his decision caused great trouble to the Mo State. Hundreds of thousands of local troops from the Ning State, led by Changsun Yuanhong, occupied the two southwest counties and became a thorn in the side of the Mo State. After that, the Mo State sent troops to attack several times, but failed to defeat them.
Part One of the Destruction of Changsun Sun Yuanhong.
It is precisely because of the existence of Changsun Yuanhong's remnants of the Ning Kingdom that later generations have disputes about the time of the Ning Kingdom's demise. Some people believe that the Ning Kingdom was already destroyed when Liangzhou fell, while others believe that it was not until the fall of Changsun Yuanhong that the Ning Kingdom represented the Ning Kingdom.
True destruction.
In any case, Changsun Yuanhong's occupation of the two southwest counties would pose a considerable threat to the Mo Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom in the future.
The allied forces of the four countries set off one after another and headed straight for the Feng Kingdom. Even when the enemy was in front of them, the Feng people gave the returning Feng army the warmest welcome.
Capture Ningdu, kill King Ning, occupy eight counties in the north of Ning, and expand the territory of Feng State on a large scale. These achievements are unprecedented in the history of Feng State. Tang Yin and the Feng Army soldiers under his command have become the saviors of the country in the hearts of all Feng people.
, the great hero of a powerful country.
The battle to destroy Ning also maximized the wind people's self-confidence. In the eyes of most wind people, their country's army is invincible and invincible. Even if a million coalition troops from the four countries come to attack, it is not enough.
fear.
When Tang Yin led his army back to Yancheng, the whole city was in a frenzy. The streets were full of people, bright red flower petals were flying all over the sky, and the people of Feng Kingdom decorated the city with lights and colorful decorations. It was ten times more lively than the festival.
The ministers of the Feng Kingdom's court all went out of the city to greet them, and even the imperial court headed by Yin Zhun also came, ten miles out of the city, to welcome Tang Yin and Feng Jun's return in triumph.
Yin Zhun originally did not want to take over Tang Yin. The Feng Kingdom will not destroy Ning. The Ning Kingdom is part of the Haotian Empire. If the Ning Kingdom is destroyed, it will still be part of the Haotian Empire. For Yin Zhun, this is a civil war and internal strife.
Those who should be condemned should not be praised, but now almost all the ministers in the dynasty are on Tang Yin's side. The ministers came forward to persuade Yin Zhun one after another. In the end, it seemed that if he did not follow the wishes of the ministers, he was just a fool.
Like a faint king, Yin Zhen was forced to do nothing by the ministers, so he had no choice but to go out of the city to greet Tang Yin. After seeing Tang Yin, the ministers of the imperial court greeted him with smiles and enthusiastically came forward to praise him.
, only Yin Zhun was present with a bitter face.
When Tang Yin saw him, he said half sarcastically and half mockingly: "Your Majesty is not feeling well and yet he personally goes out of the city to greet me. This really makes me feel uneasy!"
Hearing this, Yin Zhen blushed, but he didn't feel like refuting, so he just laughed and passed away.
Under the admiration of everyone, Tang Yin returned to his palace, and then he rewarded all his ministers for their merits. Whether it was the generals who accompanied him on the expedition or the ministers who stayed in Yancheng, everyone received a large sum of money.
award.
Now Tang Yin is wealthy and spends money like water, looking like a nouveau riche.
The Fengjun squadron did not return home empty-handed, but also brought back a large amount of gold and silver. The Ningguo treasury and the palace's silver treasury were emptied by them. The huge wealth accumulated by the Ningguo over thousands of years was all transported back to Yancheng by the Fengjun army.
Tang Yin was even considering whether to expand Yancheng's treasury.
With gold and silver, many things can be solved, especially for Tang Yin who wants to increase his troops, and get maximum protection.
Now, he can confidently and boldly recruit new soldiers from all over the country, and he can confidently and boldly order military supplies and ordnance. He has eight counties in Ningbei. The Feng Kingdom needs money and food, and the national power has more than doubled?
The Pingyuan Army, the Sanshui Army, and the Directly Affiliated Army only rested for one day after returning to Yancheng. Then they set off again and headed south to Baguan.
Although Tang Yin did not leave the capital with the army, he was still preparing to go to Ba Pass to command the battle in person. However, he still had some matters to deal with and could not go south so quickly.
He officially appointed Xia Yufu as the Chief Minister of the Left, with full responsibility for the Wind Arms Department and the Manufacturing Department, while Xuan Wang was Xia Yufu's deputy.
Having Xia Yufu in charge of the Ordnance Department gave Tang Yin a lot of confidence. Regardless of whether she could create powerful weapons, Tang Yin was looking forward to mass-producing her improved repeating crossbows.
Xia Yufu did not refuse his appointment and happily accepted it. Now that Feng and Ning have become one, and even the Central Army of Ning State has returned to fight with Tang Yin, she feels that she no longer needs to be stingy with her talents, even if she can help
It would be better to have soldiers rather than generals fighting in the wind.
During Tang Yin's stay in Yancheng, Lingwu College was completed and officially opened for teaching. Many students signed up, including Yin Rou, who was the princess.
Yancheng Lingwu Academy is the first Lingwu academy in the Feng Kingdom. It is very strict with the students it recruits. The requirements are that they must have a basic knowledge of Lingwu and be extremely talented. Yin Rou did not meet the requirements, but she still successfully entered Lingwu.
Firstly, the academy has received Tang Yin's approval. Secondly, Qiu Zhen, who is in charge of the academy, is very happy to see Yin Rou join. Yin Rou is a majestic imperial princess. Her willingness to join Lingwu Academy will raise the level of the academy by several levels.
, thereby attracting more Lingwu talents, including talents from outside the Feng Kingdom.
Fengguo Lingwu Academy is modeled after Ningguo, but there is a breakthrough in Ningguo. The academy has set up special dark-type Lingwu courses. Students can choose to practice light-type Lingwu or dark-type Lingwu according to their preferences.
In this way, the Feng Kingdom has also shown to all the countries in the world that the Feng Kingdom recognizes and respects the dark spiritual martial arts. This has promoted the development of the dark spiritual martial arts to a great extent. Of course, it has also offended the people to the maximum extent.
He established a divine pool that respected the light spiritual martial arts.
That night, Tang Yin specially called for Zuo Shuang.
The Feng Army had all gone south, and only the Western Border Army led by Zuo Shuang was left in Yancheng by Tang Yin. The Western Border Army alone was left behind, which also showed Tang Yin's trust in him.
After Zuo Shuang arrived, he asked someone to prepare several plates of side dishes and drinks, and they chatted while eating.
Tang Yin first asked Zuo Shuang what he thought of the Lingwu Academy in Yancheng.
This question made Zuo Shuang difficult to answer. He pondered for a long time before saying: "Wei Chen thinks that the king is very far-sighted in promoting Lingwu Academy, but...but..."
Although Zuo Shuang was favored by Tang Yin, he still had some grudges and estrangements against him, and there were some things he couldn't say directly.
Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "You and I are chatting privately. If you have anything to say, just say it. No need to worry."
