The Fengyu Allied Forces brought back more people than expected, and the previously built camp soon could no longer accommodate the increasing number of Zhenguo people, so the Fengyu Allied Forces had no choice but to expand it.
At the same time, the Fengyu coalition's tactics also had a huge effect on Huan, who had closed the city and defended it.
The two armies of Feng and Yu kept attacking the villages and towns around Huan. Although they captured most of the people, it was impossible to capture them all. It was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net. Those people who were lucky enough to escape ran to
Juan, deliver news of the attack.
Only a small part of Juan's defenders were locals from Juan City, and most of their families were in villages and towns around Juan. As soon as they heard that their home was attacked by Fengyu's coalition forces, the whole family, including parents, wives, and children, were all attacked by Fengyu.
The Jade Allied Forces were captured, and people couldn't bear it anymore. They all requested to go out of the city to fight to the death with the Fengyu Allied Forces and rescue their families.
The head of the county, Guan Tai, personally came forward to ask the soldiers to calm down. He also explained to everyone that the purpose of the Fengyu coalition was to lure them out of the city to fight, so they captured their families. Now we should focus on the overall situation, and we must not let small mistakes happen.
Big principles like that, etc.
Now that he is saying this, it will only make the Zhenjun soldiers who are suffering at home feel that he is standing and talking without pain. The feeling is that your family has not been robbed. If it were you, would you still say these words?
When Guan Tai was there, people did not dare to say anything. But at night, a large number of defenders began to quietly leave the city, intending to sneak attack the camp where the people were imprisoned at night and rescue their families.
However, the Fengyu Allied Forces had long been wary of this move. Whenever the Zhenjun came to save people, one would be captured, or a group would come, and a group would be captured. Often in one night, the defenders in Huan City would be short of two soldiers.
There were three thousand people, and the Fengyu Allied Forces had two to three thousand more prisoners.
Huan's garrison only had more than 50,000 people in total. How could they withstand the situation? Two to three thousand soldiers fled every night and surrendered to the Fengyu Allied Forces camp. Guan Tai had no choice but to issue a death order.
Anyone who leaves the city without permission, regardless of the reason, will be severely punished by military law once discovered.
The high-pressure policy could not solve the actual problems of the soldiers below. The phenomenon of defenders escaping from the city was still serious. The situation in Juan City began to become precarious, and there was a tendency to collapse without attacking.
Guan Tai was at a loss what to do, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the Fengyu coalition forces on the other side were not relaxed either. What troubled Tang Yin and Lingshuang was not the small group of Zhen troops who came to rob the camp, but the huge number of Zhen troops.
People of the Zhen Kingdom.
Hundreds of thousands of people have to eat, drink, and defecate every day. This is no longer an easy problem to solve. What's terrible is that Zhen people don't care about men, women, and children. Everyone is fierce and aggressive. Hundreds of thousands of people gather together and conflict.
happens sometimes.
It would be better if the Fengyu Allied Forces did not stop it. Once they did, they would immediately bring the conflict to themselves.
Since both Tang Yin and Lingshuang had issued strict orders not to allow their own soldiers to harm the people of Zhenguo, the soldiers of both armies did not dare to take heavy blows, and in the end they could only be passively beaten.
The people of Zhenguo seemed to gradually feel that the Fengyu Allied Forces had no intention of harming them. They became more and more courageous and made more and more demands. Among the detained people, many scholars and literati even signed a letter asking for it.
Meeting with the monarchs of Fengyu and Yu.
At first, Tang Yin only thought of arresting the people of Zhenguo and forcing Huan's defenders to submit. He did not expect that it would cause so much trouble. Looking at the letter sent by the soldiers below, Tang Yin sneered at it.
On Gaoliang Festival, civil servants such as Wen Hao and Tang Yu came to persuade Tang Yin that it would be best to meet with these literati of Zhenguo and listen to their requests. If they can be satisfied, try to satisfy them. The literati have great power of public opinion.
Da, if you can please the literati, you will be able to capture the hearts of the people of Zhen State, which will also help move the people of Zhen State to Feng State.
After listening to their advice, Tang Yin secretly said that it made sense. One of the reasons why King Zhen Li Hong aroused resentment in his own country was that he had indiscriminately killed the literati who wrote the letter, which led to widespread resentment and disunity among the people.
He accepted the meeting request from the literati of Zhenguo and held a banquet in his tent to entertain the petitioner. Of course, he did not forget to invite Lingshuang.
There were over a hundred Zhen people who submitted letters, and it was impossible for them all to come. They selected a few as representatives. To Tang Yin's surprise, the female ranger from Zhen Kingdom whom he met in Luofang Town was also among them.
No matter what he was thinking in his heart, Tang Yin was still very polite to these people on the surface. After everyone saw the ceremony, he smiled and invited everyone to take a seat.
"During this period, I have really wronged you all, but this is also a helpless move by me!" Tang Yin looked around at everyone, sighed softly, and said: "You should also know that the Six Kingdoms are not one family, and neither I nor the Jade King
We can only control our country's Feng army. The Feng and Yu armies can treat the people of Zhen country with courtesy, but the central armies of other countries may not be able to do so. This is why I and King Jade have gathered the people of Zhen country here.
The reason for that.”
Without Zhenren asking, Tang Yin took the initiative to explain why the Fengyu coalition wanted to arrest hundreds of thousands of people.
These literati representatives really didn't expect that Tang Yin would be so polite to them. Not only was he courteous, but he also hosted a banquet, showing no barbaric attitude towards them.
Tang Yin's performance made the literati of the Zheng Kingdom somewhat bewildered. One of them, an elderly scholar named Jiang Hao, raised his hand and asked: "Your Highness, King Feng, is there any indiscriminate killing of innocent people among the Six Nations Allied Forces?"
He did not answer directly, but looked at the ranger girl and asked, "Do you all know this girl?"
All the scholars nodded. Since the girl was imprisoned in the camp, she has solved many disputes between Zhenren and she is very popular with everyone. It is precisely because of this that she was allowed to be one of the representatives to meet the monarchs of Fengyu and Fengyu.
.
Seeing them all nodding, Tang Yin smiled and said: "Since you all know her, you must also know whether she is a virgin or a ranger. If there is any indiscriminate killing of innocent people among the Six Nations Allied Forces, just ask her."
Tang Yin asked the question to the girl. After all, they were both virgins, and her words were more convincing than Tang Yin's.
The girl secretly thought something cunning! Seeing everyone looking at her, she nodded slightly and whispered: "It is true."
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, everyone believed her.
Jiang Hao rolled his eyes and said to Tang Yin: "It turns out that His Highness Feng Wang has no ill intentions towards me and other Zhen people, but has good intentions. In this case, His Highness Feng Wang should read the book for us and Zhen people~just sort it out}
Just take more care of me."
Tang Yinda nodded and said: "What Mr. Jiang Hao said is reasonable, but time is short and there are some inconsiderations. I hope you can be considerate."
Lingshuang on the side looked at him as if he were a monster. She didn't know what kind of medicine Tang Yin had taken today, and why he suddenly became so kind.
Jiang Hao now no longer felt that there was anything wrong with Tang Yin's attitude. He showed a reasonable expression on his face and said in his voice: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang, I really have to say something! Your army has set up a
The camp is too small and overcrowded, causing constant friction. In addition, there are so few tents that many people have no place to escape the heat during the day and no place to sleep at night. Furthermore, there are too few meals delivered every day.
You can only get half a bowl of gruel. If this continues, sooner or later someone will starve to death. Also, medicines are scarce in the camp. With so many people living together, it is inevitable to get sick. But without medicines, don’t you have to watch the patients die? In addition,
…”
This Jiang Hao was not polite at all, he reviewed the camp built by the Fengyu Alliance from head to toe.
Tang Yin listened attentively, with a look of concern on his face, and nodded in agreement from time to time, but in his heart, he had already greeted all eight generations of Jiang Hao's ancestors.
Did he fucking capture you here just to let you go on vacation? You need to eat well, sleep well, and have good conditions. Why don’t the 400,000 troops from both Fengyu and Yu countries serve you?
It's enough to pay for it.
I have seen rigid and poor scholars, but I have never seen such shameless ones who are unaware of their situation.
There was silence in the camp, except for Jiang Hao, who opened and closed his mouth and talked endlessly. In the end, even the girl named Mengyao couldn't stand listening anymore. She coughed lightly, interrupted Jiang Hao's words, and said
: "Add tents and food!"
"What?" Jiang Hao looked at her doubtfully.
The girl simply looked at Tang Yin and said seriously: "As long as His Highness the Wind King can increase tents and food first." After speaking, she glanced at Jiang Hao and shook her head secretly, "Now you are making a series of requests to Tang Yin."
, I am afraid that even the conditions of the Fengyu Alliance are not that high, how can they be satisfied in the end? It is not enough to choose the most practical and important, so that it is possible to obtain the greatest benefits.
Tents and food, this is what the Fengyu Alliance Army currently lacks the most! Tang Yin tapped his forehead, pondered for a long time, leaned towards Lingshuang, and asked in a low voice: "How many tents and food are left for the Jade Army?
"
Lingshuang also replied in a low voice: "There are not many left."
"Didn't you ask Anhuan's Second Army to deliver grain, grass and supplies?"
"How many days does it take? It will probably take at least three or four days to arrive."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for that long. You and I should take out all the remaining tents in the army first. The army's daily rations also need to be reduced." Tang Yin suggested.
Lingshuang now wanted to touch Tang Yin's forehead to see if he had a fever. In order to meet Zhen Ren's request, he actually had to reduce the rations of his own soldiers. How could this make sense?
"I don't agree." Ling Shuang expressed her dissatisfaction bluntly.
"I must agree." Tang Yin's answer was also unusually straightforward.
"I don't understand why Brother Wang is so kind to the people of Zhenguo all of a sudden?" Lingshuang looked at him confused and angrily.
"It's very simple. If you want to win over the people of Zhen Kingdom in the future, you must first win over the people's hearts. If you want those Zhen soldiers who are enemies of us to switch over, you must first get their families on our side!" Tang Yin squinted.
