Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi commanded 400,000 elite Ning troops to invade the Feng Kingdom and helped Zhong Tian regicide in the Feng Kingdom. In the Feng Kingdom, the two brothers were sworn enemies of the Feng people, but Zuo Shuang made the request in front of the king.
If you go to worship these two thieves, aren't you asking for death?
People looked at Tang Yin one after another, and at the same time they were secretly sweating for Zuo Shuang.
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment at Zuo Shuang's request, then he narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Zuo Shuang. After a long while, just when people thought he was going to get angry, Tang Yin laughed and nodded and said:
"To Feng Guo, the Zhan brothers are enemies, but to Ning people, they are heroes who died in a foreign land. As a Ning people, you have not forgotten your roots. It is a good thing and you should pay tribute.
."
These words surprised everyone and moved Zuo Shuang very much. He knelt down on one knee, held his hands high, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you so much, your Majesty."
Tang Yin nodded, helped him up, and said nothing more.
He was smiling on his face, and his words were nice, but he felt very unhappy in his heart. However, now was the time to employ people, and the 150,000-strong Ningguo Central Army was still very important. No matter how unhappy Tang Yin was, he still had to
Do enough tricks.
When the whole army stopped to rest, Fan Shan came to see Tang Yin.
Now Tang Yin didn't even let him set up a simple Chinese army tent. He was sitting on a stone, with only Qiu Zhen and a few personal guards beside him. Fan Shan came quickly with a roll of maps between his legs, and didn't get close to Tang Yinshi.
As soon as he stepped forward, he was stopped by the guards.
"Brothers, I want to see the king!"
"What's the matter?" The guards around Tang Yin were all very arrogant. Seeing that the person who came here was just a small counselor, they didn't even look at him.
"I have something important to report to the king!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it! We will report it to the king!"
"This...I have to report to the king personally..."
"Wordy!"
Before they had even said a few words, the guards started scolding them dissatisfiedly. Their shouts attracted Tang Yin's attention. Tang Yin, who was talking to Qiu Zhen, turned back, looked towards Fan Shan, and asked, "What's going on?
thing?"
A guard hurriedly ran forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, a counselor wants to see you."
"Oh?" Tang Yin looked past the guards and looked at Fan Shan. Now he had some impression of Fan Shan, but he still didn't know his name. He waved his hand, motioned for the guards to get out of the way, and said, "Let him come over.
!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The guards stepped aside one after another and let Fan Shan pass.
Fan Shan stepped forward, knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Young man Fan Shan, please see your Majesty!"
Tang Yin responded, and after Fan Shan stood up, he asked: "Is something wrong?"
Fan Shan looked around and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can you speak further?"
His mysterious look made Tang Yin laugh, and he said: "Speak directly if you have anything to say, there are no outsiders here."
"Uh..." Fan Shan knew very well that his current status was humble, and he didn't know whether what he said would be accepted by the king. He hesitated for a long time and came up with the most inappropriate idea to have a relationship with Tang Yin.
He smiled dryly and said: "Although the king doesn't know the villain, the villain has admired the king for a long time, and speaking of it, the villain is Mrs. Wan'an's cousin!"
Mrs. Wan'an is Fan Min's title. In terms of seniority, it is true that he is Fan Min's cousin, but it is a bit far away. His great-grandfather and Fan Min's great-grandfather are brothers.
What Tang Yin hates the most is people who cling to power. After hearing Fan Shan's words, his initially good impression of him immediately fell to the bottom. Qiu Zhen, who was standing by, secretly laughed in his heart. This is another person who doesn't understand the king.
It seems that this man's career in the army is coming to an end.
laugh!
Tang Yin sneered, stood up, walked up to Fan Shan, and looked at him carefully first. Fan Min had a delicate appearance, and Fan Shan also looked elegant. If you look carefully, you can find one or two similarities.
place. He asked casually: "Fan Shan, how long have you been in the army?"
He didn't understand why the king asked this, so he replied nonchalantly: "It's almost... almost a month."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you join the army after I arrived at Ba Pass?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Shan nodded.
"You join the army and become a counselor?"
"Yes."
"You have little merit and no experience, so what qualifications do you have to be a military counselor?" As he spoke, Tang Yin waved to the guard on the side, asked for a spear, and stuffed it directly into Fan Shan's arms, saying: "You first
Start as a new recruit and go into battle for me!"
Fan Shan held the spear in his arms blankly, completely dumbfounded. Tang Yin ignored him or looked at him again, sat back on the stone, and continued talking to Qiu Zhen.
It wasn't until the guards on both sides came up to pull Fan Shan away that he came back to his senses. At this time, Fan Shan finally understood Tang Yin's likes and dislikes. It must have been what he said just now that angered the king. How could this happen?
Is good?
His eyes rolled continuously, and suddenly he pushed the guards on his left and right away, then raised the spear in his arms and threw it to the ground.
When the spearhead hit the stone on the ground, it made a crisp sound. All the guards changed their colors and picked up their weapons one after another to restrain Fan Shan. Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen were also stunned, frowning and staring at Fan Shan, not understanding his sudden
What's going on?
Fan Shan said loudly to Tang Yin: "The villain joins the army to help the king defeat thousands of enemy troops, not to go into battle with a spear and kill one or two enemy soldiers!"
Yo! What a loud tone! Tang Yin and Qiu Zhenzhen looked at each other and smiled. If Fan Shan showed such courage as soon as he came, Tang Yin might have been impressed by him. He asked with a smile: "Tell me, how can you do this?"
Help me to defeat the enemy's thousands of troops? That makes sense, I will give you an official title, but if you are unreasonable and make trouble, even if I have the King of Heaven as your backer, you will lose your head."
Fan Shan met Tang Yin's eyes without fear and asked: "Your Majesty, General Zuo Shuang is going to pay homage to Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi. Are you going to let him go alone?"
"That's right? Is there something wrong?"
"The king can sympathize with Ning Ren and understand Ning Ren's feelings. This is the king's wisdom. Since the king is willing to send General Zuo Shuang, why not send the Western Border Army as well?"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, stared at Fan Shan, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Fan Shan took two steps forward and said seriously: "Gaochuan County is covered with mountains and forests, making it easy to hide. Why don't your Majesty leave the Western Border Army in Gaochuan County and raid the enemy's rear? When our army enters the three eastern counties, the enemy will definitely attack
Follow us, and by that time, the enemy's logistics supplies will have to pass through Gaochuan County. With the Western Frontier Army in the county, we can cut off the enemy's supply line. The hundreds of thousands of troops will be left without supplies and will be vulnerable!"
Oh? This is a strategy that Tang Yin didn't expect. His eyes gradually turned from bright to deep, and he began to think deeply.
Leaving the Western Army to harass the enemy's rear is a clever plan. If the Western Army can fight sincerely, there will be absolutely no problem, but what if something changes? Zuoshuang leaves his control. What if he leads these 150,000 soldiers?
Ning Jun suddenly rebels, how should you respond?
Seeming to sense Tang Yin's concerns, Fan Shan took two more steps forward and said, "Your Majesty always advocates hiring without doubt and not using doubters. Since Your Majesty has reused General Zuo Shuang, you should be able to trust the Western Army under his command."
These words spoke to Tang Yin's heart. He did not respond immediately. Seeing Fan Shan still holding a roll of cloth, he raised his head and asked, "What is that you got?"
"It's a map!" As he spoke, Fan Shan walked up to Tang Yin and flattened the map on the ground. It was a map of the entire Feng Kingdom.
Regardless of whether Tang Yin asked questions or not, he started talking eloquently. He pointed to the junction of Gaochuan County and Shangqing County and Gaoyang County on the map and said: "Your Majesty, this is Jinyang City, located between the three counties.
, it can be attacked by advance and defended by retreat. It is a critical place. The king can set up defenses in Jinyang and fight the enemy. The Western Frontier Army patrols in Gaochuan County and specializes in the enemy's logistics. The two sides can echo each other and disturb the enemy's mentality.
The enemy troops are in disarray."
Fan Shan was the first person to present the complete combat strategy to Tang Yin so far. Tang Yin listened to his analysis with an expressionless face, and was also wondering whether his strategy was feasible or not.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yin asked Qiu Zhen beside him: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think?"
Qiu Zhen didn't say yes or no, he just raised his concerns. He said: "I have been to Jinyang City. It is a vast plain with no danger to defend. The city is not big. It is a small city with walls.
It’s not very high, and there isn’t even a moat outside the city. If the enemy attacks, it will be difficult to resist with the strength of our army and Jinyang’s city defense!”
Tang Yin nodded and turned to look at Fan Shan to listen to his explanation.
"Xiang Qiu is right, Jinyang is indeed a small city and difficult to defend." Fan Shan pointed to the map and said: "But Jinyang can be located between three big cities, Songqiu to the north, Ningding to the east, and Taifeng to the west.
, these three cities are not far from Jinyang, and they are like a pocket, surrounding Jinyang. If our army really cannot hold on, we can abandon the city and retreat to the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng.
, give Jinyang to the enemy. At that time, no matter whether the enemy attacks any city in Songqiu, Ningding or Taifeng first, the other two cities can then send troops to counterattack Jinyang, or trap the enemy in it, or make the enemy exhausted.
Only by fighting in this way can our army's geographical advantages be brought into full play!"
When Tang Yin heard this, he became energetic. He knelt down and looked at the map carefully. As Fan Shan said, there are cities on the east, west and north sides of Jinyang, forming a semi-encirclement surrounding it. Tang Yin didn't know
How were these four cities built at that time, but their unique layout was indeed suitable for defense.
In fact, Jinyang was not a city, but a town. However, it was located between Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng, and at the junction of the three counties. Many caravans and tourists would pass by Jinyang and rest here.
Therefore, Jinyang Town was very lively, the population continued to increase, and the town continued to expand. Later, the head of the county to which it belonged was so happy that in order to increase the number of cities in the county, he applied to the court at that time to upgrade Jinyang Town to Jinyang.
City, the imperial court at that time did not do much research and approved it in a daze. As a result, Jinyang Town became Jinyang City, but the scale was indeed smaller than other cities.
Qiu Zhen said that Jinyang is a small town with short walls and no moat, which is true.
