As for the fact that Mo and An jointly sent troops to the Jade Kingdom, the Feng Kingdom's court analyzed it more thoroughly than Tang Yin.
As the leading party sending troops, Mo State is of course worried about Feng and Jade. The two countries will merge into one and form a trap for Mo State. In order to weaken Feng State, it is also the most effective to attack Jade State, which is weaker and has no natural danger to defend.
Appropriate. As for Anguo, it is just an auxiliary party. The reason why it is willing to send troops is because it can divide the benefits that Jade State can get after winning. In addition, the two countries have a deeper consideration in sending troops, that is, no one is willing to go.
Help the Jade Kingdom.
Tang Yin and Lingshuang's marriage is equivalent to making the relationship between Feng Country and Jade Country become closer than an alliance. Looking at all the countries, they are basically enemies of Feng Country. Therefore, if Mo An wants to attack Jade Country, not only will no one condemn the two countries
, but will also support it.
Secondly, Mo Country is originally an ally of Feng Country. With Mo Country here, it is even more difficult to attack Feng. The disastrous defeat of the Feng Alliance last time is a lesson. Now, Mo Country and Feng Country have openly broken apart. Sichuan, Zhen and other countries have
Naturally, he is optimistic about the success, and will even try his best to please Mo Guo, laying a good foundation for the second war against the wind in the future.
Because of these various factors, Mo State felt confident in sending troops to Jade State, and it was expected that no one would be willing to send troops to aid Jade State.
At this time, Shao Fang showed his talent and strategy again. In fact, the situation was exactly as he expected.
When the armies of Mo and An approached the border of the Jade Kingdom, the entire Jade Kingdom was in an uproar and the court was in chaos. Lingshuang urgently sent an envoy to negotiate with the Mo and An Kingdom. The envoy who went to the An Kingdom met with An Wang Yueze.
However, Yue Ze did not mention a word about the withdrawal of troops, but repeatedly stated that Anguo and Moguo had always been on good terms, and King Jade humiliated King Mo in public. Due to the friendship between Anguo and Mo, Anguo could not stand idly by.
The Jade State's plan to persuade An Guo to withdraw its troops ended in failure, but this was relatively lucky. At least the envoy returned to the Jade State safely, but the envoy to the Mo State was not so lucky. Shao Fang did not even see him.
He directly ordered Ling Chi, the envoy from the Jade Kingdom, to be executed, and finally his head was cut off and sent back to the Jade Kingdom.
Unable to persuade the Mo'an coalition to retreat, the Jade Kingdom's court could only retreat and seek help from other principalities. Chuan Kingdom, Zhen Kingdom, and Huan Kingdom all used various excuses to shirk the Jade Kingdom's request for help. Even Shenchi declined.
Interfering in the affairs of other countries and refusing to aid the Jade Kingdom.
A strong enemy is pressing on the border, and the Jade Kingdom itself is unable to resist. It cannot persuade the enemy troops to retreat, and it cannot recruit reinforcements. The situation of the entire country is already precarious, and there is a possibility of falling apart at any time. At this time, the ministers of the Jade Kingdom can no longer bear it.
Finally, he proposed the last way to Lingshuang and asked Feng Guo for help.
Lingshuang had a bitter look on her face after hearing the ministers' suggestions. The person she was least willing to ask for help was Tang Yin, and her marriage to Tang Yin was simply a farce. How could it be taken seriously? Now if she goes to Feng Guo for help, Feng Guo may not
If you are willing to help, you will probably end up humiliating yourself.
She had already suffered enough insults in front of Tang Yin, and she didn't want to be humiliated again.
The ministers all understand Lingshuang's current mood. They don't want to ask Feng Guo for help, but now Yu Guo really has no other way out. As long as there is still a chance, they will not make such a move. At this time, Yu Guo
Shi Zhouzhong, the right-hand remonstrance speaker of the country, stepped forward, raised his hands to Lingshuang and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Feng State as an envoy. This trip will definitely allow Feng State to send troops to assist our country."
Youjian Speaker Shi is equivalent to a staff officer under Youxiang. His rank is lower than that of Prime Minister Changshi, between the fourth and fifth grades. In the court, this is also the lowest official. I heard from Zhou Zhong that he can definitely win the favor.
The country sent troops to aid the Jade Kingdom, but people didn't take it seriously. Even if the king came to the Feng Kingdom in person, there was no 100% certainty that the Feng Kingdom would be able to invite the Feng Kingdom to send troops. How could he, a mere fourth-rank right-advising speaker, Shi, do that?
Right Prime Minister Cui Teng shouted in a deep voice: "Sir Zhou, please don't utter such arrogant words, please retreat immediately!"
Zhou Zhong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to pledge my head as a guarantee. If you cannot ask the Feng Kingdom to send troops to rescue you, I will raise your head and see you later!"
Cui Teng took a breath and frowned. Lingshuang also looked thoughtful. After thinking for a long time, she asked: "Master Zhou is really so sure?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay! I'm sending you to Feng Country. Whether you can invite reinforcements from Feng Country is another matter, but you must not lose the face of our Jade Country."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will fulfill my mission!"
Shi Zhouzhong, the Right Adviser to the Jade State, went to Feng State as an envoy. When he arrived in Yancheng, Tang Yin happened to return from Tia. In the palace, Tang Yin summoned Zhou Zhong.
Zhou Zhong was not old, in his early thirties, with good looks and outstanding temperament. Tang Yin had a good first impression of him, and he had a rough idea of his purpose, but he still asked: "I wonder if Mr. Zhou is coming to Feng Country?"
Why do you want to do this? "Alas!" Zhou Zhong sighed and asked: "Now that the blade is on His Highness Feng Wang's neck, doesn't His Highness know it?"
Tang Yin and the ministers of the Feng Kingdom present were all stunned. They did not expect that the envoy from the Jade Kingdom would make such a shocking opening statement.
Soon, Tang Yin came back to his senses, laughed on his back, and looked above himself, asking: "I wonder what Mr. Zhou said? Where is the sword? Who is holding the sword?"
"The sword is the Mo'an coalition, and the people holding the sword are the countries!" Zhou Zhong looked straight and said: "The countries connive at Mo'an and the two countries to send troops to the Jade Kingdom. What is the reason? It is to weaken the Feng Kingdom! Our Jade Kingdom has always been tolerant.
, never makes grudges with others, and has a good reputation. This time Mo An dared to send troops to the Jade Kingdom, all because of the marriage between my Lord and His Highness King Feng. In the eyes of other countries, the marriage between Jade and Wind heralds that the two countries will become one. In order to
To weaken the Feng Kingdom, the first step is to get rid of the Jade Kingdom. Once the Jade Kingdom is destroyed, the next target of sending troops will be the Feng Kingdom. At that time, all countries will join forces to defeat the wind. How can the Feng Kingdom not follow the footsteps of the Jade Kingdom? Today's
Given the situation, doesn’t it mean that the knife has been put to His Highness Feng Wang’s neck?”
Zhou Zhong was eloquent and talked eloquently, and everyone present nodded secretly, feeling that what Zhou Zhong said was reasonable and basically consistent with their original analysis.
In fact, even if Zhou Zhong does not come to Feng State, Feng State is still making arrangements to assist Jade State. Now that Jade State has come to ask for help, Feng State's assistance has become more logical.
However, Tang Yin did not want to agree to the Jade Kingdom so simply. He said with a smile: "The Jade Kingdom is not bordered by our Feng Kingdom, so what does the life and death of the Jade Kingdom have to do with our Feng Kingdom? Even if the Jade Kingdom is eventually conquered by Mo and An.
Destroy me, I have Baguan and natural dangers to the south of Dafeng to defend, the emperor is in charge at home, and I have Besa as my back-up in the north, how can the other countries do anything to me?"
What kind of bullshit can a foolish king say? Zhou Zhong said in a deep voice: "If you are from the Feng Kingdom, come to Wapo. No matter how dangerous or strong the Ba Pass is, can it withstand the armies of all the countries in the world? Although the emperor is in the wind,
country, but everyone in the world has said that His Highness the Wind King kidnapped the emperor. Now the emperor can no longer serve as a shield against other countries in the Feng Kingdom, and will only bring endless troubles to the Feng Kingdom. As for Bessa, this is a foreign race, and Feng Kingdom
If His Highness leads a foreign race to war with his own race, wouldn’t he become the laughing stock of the world? Not only will the people of other countries hate His Highness to the core, I’m afraid even the people of the Feng Kingdom will feel ashamed and feel humiliated that there is such a great king as His Highness the Wind King?!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed. Tang Yin's expression also immediately darkened, and he shouted loudly: "Bold!"
As he shouted, the Feng Kingdom guards outside the door swarmed in, and steel knives with cold light were almost placed on Zhou Zhong's neck.
Zhou Zhong didn't even look at the murderous guards around him. He looked directly at Tang Yin and said loudly: "I have spoken from the bottom of my heart, but my loyal words are offensive to my ears. Your Highness, King Feng, wants to kill or behead him, so please do so!"
Tang Yin and Zhou Zhong looked at each other for a long time, raised the corners of their mouths, and said with a sneer: "Zhou Zhong, you are so brave, you actually dare to say something rude in front of me."
Zhou Zhong said seriously: "Because I know that His Royal Highness Feng Wang started from scratch and can become the king of a country, he must be a wise master, and a wise master will not kill anyone who gives advice and advice."
Haha! Tang Yin was almost angry. This Zhou Zhong was good at talking. He said that if he killed him again, he would become a foolish king. He stared at Zhou Zhong for a long time, then with a puff, he waved to the guards below.
He asked them all to go out, and then asked with a smile: "I wonder what official position Mr. Zhou holds in the Jade Kingdom?"
It wasn't until this moment that Tang Yin became concerned about his position.
"You remonstrate with Speaker Shi." Zhou Zhong replied loudly.
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded noncommittally and said nothing. He was a little disappointed with Zhou Zhong's position. It was a bit unfair for such a courageous and knowledgeable person to only serve as a junior official of the fourth rank.
Zhou Zhong saw Tang Yin's thoughts and immediately said: "There are many talented people in our country, and there are many who are more talented than me. It is a great blessing for me to be able to get the position of right admonition speaker Shi, and it is also thanks to the love of your Majesty and Prime Minister Cui."
.”
Tang Yin nodded and secretly thought that Zhou Zhong was indeed a good person. He pondered for a moment and said, "Master Zhou, go back and tell... my wife, saying that my husband will definitely help her get through this difficulty this time!"
Even though he agreed to send troops to aid the Jade Kingdom, Tang Yin did not forget to say a few sarcastic words.
Zhou Zhong didn't care at all whether Tang Yin took advantage of him. As long as the Feng Kingdom was willing to send troops, the Jade Kingdom would still be saved. As long as the Jade Kingdom survived, his mission would have been completed.
After Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhou Zhong knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said loudly: "Wind King Shengming!"
Tang Yin smiled and said faintly: "Your advice makes sense. Even if you reply to your country's court, even if I use the strength of the whole country, I will keep your Jade Kingdom safe and sound."
Zhou Zhong was moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but tremblingly said: "My lord... thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Return to the country quickly!" He knew without asking him that people in the Jade Kingdom must be panicked and in chaos now. The sooner the news of Feng Kingdom's willingness to send troops to assist reaches the Jade Kingdom, the more likely it will be.
It can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts early on.
"Yes, Your Highness, King Feng, please take your leave!"
Zhou Zhong kowtowed again, then stood up and walked out. After Zhou Zhong left, Tang Yin immediately discussed with his ministers and generals how to send troops to aid the Jade Kingdom
