Tang Yin nodded while listening to Cai Gui's analysis. When he finished speaking, Tang Yin turned to Qiu Zhen and asked, "Qiu Zhen, what do you mean?"
Qiu Zhen was silent for a while, and then Fang Youyou said: "Master Cai's analysis is very reasonable. However, I still think that rushing for quick results is too risky. Given the current situation, a steady and steady approach is the best approach."
Cai Gui sneered in his heart. Qiu Zhen didn't agree with his strategy, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. After all, he still wanted to be stable and his nature was too conservative. His face remained calm and he slowly picked up the teacup.
, drank tea slowly, and then waited for Tang Yin's reaction. He knew in his heart that Qiu Zhen's words could not convince the king who wanted to fight quickly.
As the left prime minister, Qiu Zhen has always been the main militant of Feng State, but this time he was rarely laughed at by Cai Gui as a conservative.
Sure enough, Tang Yin disagreed with Qiu Zhen's statement. He said with a smile: "Qiu Zhen, you advocate not going south because you are afraid that the powerful country of Sichuan Zhen will suddenly attack. But now, Sichuan Zhen is sitting idly by, and even Mo's ally Anguo is
If you refuse to send troops to help, your concerns will be in vain and unnecessary. In my opinion, we should do what Cai Gui wants. Our country will seize the opportunity in front of us, go south to Surabaya, and then march eastward to Zhenjiang."
Discussing tactics and tactics is not something Qiu Zhen is good at, but he also understands that going deep alone is a dangerous move. One wrong move may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
He murmured: "Sishui is an important area of the Mo Kingdom, so it is already difficult to fight, and it is even more of a long distance from Surabaya to Zhenjiang. It passes through three counties. Our army has less than 100,000 troops. How easy is it to take Zhenjiang in one go?!"
Tang Yin said seriously: "As the saying goes, the military march is dangerous. Even we ourselves don't think we have the strength to take Zhenjiang directly. Then the Mo country will be even more unprepared. Our army will be surprised and unprepared. It is not without the possibility of success."
"The probability of success is not more than 30%. Even if we finally succeed in attacking Zhenjiang, with the strength of our army at that time, we cannot besiege the city. Shao Fang can easily escape at any time, and the capture of Zhenjiang will become impossible.
It means, but once the war goes against us, our army will have no way to retreat, and the soldiers will have no choice but to fight to the death. Taking Zhenjiang directly, the probability of success is small, but the probability of failure is high. If it succeeds, it will only win face. If it fails,
, our army will be in dire straits and will never recover. Which is more serious, your Majesty, please think twice and consider it carefully!" Qiu Zhen put the consequences of success and failure in front of Tang Yin, and asked him to compare and analyze to see if it was true.
It's really necessary to take such a big risk.
At this time, Cai Gui said: "Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. The only way to defeat the enemy is to win by surprise. If our army can occupy Zhenjiang, no matter whether Shao Fang escapes or not, our army has shaken the foundation of the Mo country. How can it be
Meaningless? And the king often said that even if there is only a 10% chance of victory, you can take the risk. Now is a great opportunity to destroy Mo, and you can’t miss it. If you don’t defeat Mo today, Mo will regain its strength tomorrow and become the confidant of our country.
A serious disaster will lead to endless disasters!"
Qiu Zhen shook his head repeatedly and said: "It is not advisable for a scholar to talk about military affairs and harm the country and the army!"
Cai Gui said tit for tat: "Isn't Prime Minister Qiu a scholar?"
Listening to the argument between the two of them, Tang Yin felt like his head was getting bigger again. Qiu Zhen's words made sense, and Cai Gui's words were even more correct. To fight or not to fight, it was really hard to make a decision now.
The grades of Qiu Zhen and Cai Gui are very different, one is first grade and the other is third grade. However, in the court of Feng Kingdom, especially in front of Tang Yin, there is no such rule of using big to suppress small. No matter what official position, they can
Argue based on reason. If it is unreasonable, then that is a different matter.
Just when Tang Yin was feeling in a dilemma, someone outside suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there will be something to report!"
Hearing that the voice was Ah San, Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Come in and talk."
Ah San walked in from outside, bowed his hands to Tang Yin and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the guards outside our country just came to report that the envoy from Yu State wants to see you!"
Tang Yin now lives in the county capital of Shangwan City, Anqiu County. He was somewhat surprised that the envoy from the Yu Kingdom could find this place.
"The envoy from the Yu Kingdom is here?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what they are asking for help from us..."
Cai Gui rolled his eyes, chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy from the Yu Kingdom must be here to urge your Majesty to send troops to Surabaya County as soon as possible."
"oh?"
"It is reported that the Mo'an coalition forces have conquered four counties in the Yu Kingdom, and the army has approached Kangyang, the capital of Yu. If there is no foreign aid, the Yu Kingdom will only die. At this time, the Yu Kingdom's envoy came to see the king, and of course he hoped that the king would send troops.
Surabaya, and then advance to the Yu Kingdom to fight to the death with the Mo'an coalition!" Cai Gui said confidently. Well! Qiu Zhen nodded secretly, Cai Gui's observation ability is really powerful, and he must have guessed the purpose of the Yu Kingdom's envoy.
!
Tang Yin shrugged and said with a smile: "Even if our army advances into Surabaya, it will not go west to save Yu State. If it wants to march, it will go east!"
Cai Gui's heart was moved and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Isn't the king married to His Royal Highness King Yu?" Tang Yin and Ling Shuang's marriage is not a secret. The recent series of wars are ultimately caused by this matter. Since
The two have become husband and wife, so Tang Yin has no reason not to solve the crisis of Yu country, but wants to destroy Mo first.
Tang Yin looked up and laughed loudly, saying: "My marriage with Lingshuang is a farce at best!"
Qiu Zhen knew the inside story and explained to Tang Yin: "If the king does not marry King Yu, then King Yu will marry Shao Fang. At that time, Mo and Yu will unite together, forming a double-teaming trend for our country, which is extremely detrimental to our country.
To put it bluntly, this is all a trick of King Yu. She used herself as a bargaining chip to get the King to marry her, causing our country and Mo Country to fall out and fight each other!"
"That's it!" No matter how well-informed Cai Gui is, he cannot know the secrets between the kings. If he had not entered the court of Feng State, it is still unclear what the marriage of the monarchs of Feng State and Yu State is going on.
! From this point of view, there is no emotion between the two monarchs, but they may be full of hostility and hatred. It would be strange if the king is willing to save her country!
Cai Gui knew what he was doing, smiled at Qiu Zhen, and thanked him for his story.
Tang Yin said to Asan: "Please invite the envoy from Yu State to come in!"
"Oh... Your Majesty, the Yu Kingdom envoy has many followers, please come in?" Asan said with a slight hesitation.
Tang Yin asked casually: "There are many followers? How many are there?"
"The guards said there were about five hundred people!"
Phew! Everyone present almost choked on their own saliva. Yu State is currently at war with Mo State, and its envoy brought more than 500 followers into Mo State. Are you crazy? It's really hard for them to get in.
Tang Yin was also happy, shook his head and said: "The visitors are guests. Since they are here, let them all in. Are you still worried that they dare to plot evil in front of me?"
Ah San bowed and saluted, said no more, turned around and left.
Not long after, Asan brought in six men dressed as Mo people from the outside. The leader was not tall, but well-proportioned and slender, and looked slender. Looking at his face, his face was as white as jade, and he had a long face.
Her eyebrows were divided into eight colors, her eyes were as bright as stars, her nose was high and straight, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her appearance was so handsome that Tang Yin couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Although there was a soft air all over his body, he was still handsome.
His exposed, heroic appearance and two glimpses of a mustache under his nose make him elegant and extraordinary.
Tang Yin can be sure that he has met this person before, because he feels very familiar, but he can't remember it for a while. Among the six people, there is another one he knows 100%, and speaking of it, he is still Tang Yin's appearance.
His 'love rival', General Xu Wenfeng of the Yu Kingdom, was also Lingshuang's lover.
Xu Wenfeng came unexpectedly, the envoy sent by Yu State really knows how to choose people! Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh, he laughed, looked Xu Wenfeng up and down, and said with a smile: "General Xu, long time no see, how are you?"
"
"I have met His Highness Feng Wang!" At this time, Xu Wenfeng's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. Everyone could see that he was holding back and saluting Tang Yin.
It stands to reason that as one of the envoys, it would have been rude for him to claim to be a subordinate in front of Tang Yin, and then it would be even more disrespectful for him to just hand over his hand without kneeling down to give a courtesy to the emperor and his ministers. However, Tang Yin was too lazy to argue with him, and he never treated someone like him.
He won't care so much about people he doesn't take seriously.
"I conquered Shangwan not long ago, and you are quite well informed." Tang Yin had no intention of giving up his seat. He held a small tea cup between his fingers and drank tea slowly. Jiutian Literature Internet Cafe, wait until you take the risk of sneaking into Mo Country and come see me.
King, what's important?"
"I came here to persuade His Highness King Feng to send troops to Surabaya as soon as possible to cut off the Mo'an army's logistics, and then engage in a flanking attack with our army to eliminate the Mo'an coalition forces that invaded the Yu Kingdom!" Xu Wenfeng said in one breath like a barrage of cannons.
.
I don't know if Tang Yin heard what he said. The latter didn't even look at him. He tsked, poured out the tea in the cup, and said to the entourage: "I am not used to drinking this tea. Please change it to Feng Guo."
of tea.”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The maid accompanying Tang Yin hurriedly responded and walked away quickly with small steps.
When she walked away, Tang Yinfang raised his head, looked at Xu Wenfeng, and said: "If the tea is not good, it needs to be changed. If the person is not good, it will naturally have to be changed."
Xu Wenfeng's brows were furrowed into knots and he asked, "What does His Majesty Feng Wang mean by these words?"
Tang Yin said calmly: "You are just a martial general, what qualifications do you have to be an envoy of the Yu country to talk to me? You should return to the country as soon as possible and find an envoy with enough weight to discuss matters with me!" If you can drag him away!
Two or three months would be good!
After all, Feng and Yu were already married, and now Yu was in danger. After the two sides discussed it, it was really hard for Tang Yin to refuse aid outright, so it would be best to find any reason to send Xu Wenfeng away first.
