The Feng army took control of the palace, and the four armies of Yu, An, Huan, and Zhen also took over Xitang City. At this point, Xitang has basically fallen into the hands of the coalition forces.
After the three kings Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin entered the city, they immediately rushed to the Prince's Mansion and met Tang Yin. At this time, most of the ministers of the Zhen Kingdom also gathered at the Prince's Mansion, and they happened to take these ministers into custody on the spot.
, detained in the Young Master's Mansion.
When they saw Tang Yin, Yue Ze and Li Xin came forward with smiles on their faces, cupped their hands and said: "My brother Wang's clever plan, he defeated Xitang with one blow, it's admirable, admirable!"
Tang Yin was happy and said with a smile: "The reason why our army was able to successfully capture Xitang in this battle is not due to me alone. The two brothers Wang and Princess Lingshuang also contributed a lot and made great efforts!"
He was neither arrogant nor arrogant, and took the initiative to share the credit with Yue Ze, Li Xin and Ling Shuang, which naturally benefited Yue and Li greatly.
The two of them were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. When they were chatting with Tang Yin, Li Dan came over, bowed deeply and respectfully to them, and said in a low voice: "The guilty minister Li Dan pays homage to King An, King Huan, and King Yu.
Your Highness!"
Lingshuang didn't know Li Dan, but both Yue Ze and Li Xin had seen him. When they saw him, their faces immediately darkened.
Yue Ze tilted his head and said nothing, while Li Xin snorted and ignored him. Finally, Ling Shuang smiled and said, "Young master, you're welcome."
Tang Yin said: "If Master Li Dan hadn't kidnapped King Zhen this time, it would not have been easy for our army to defeat Xitang. Therefore, Master Li Dan also contributed a lot!"
Yue Ze and Li Xin sneered in their hearts, Li Dan had a lot to do with it? It was true that he was digging his own grave. However, they could also hear the underlying meaning of Tang Yin's words. Xitang was not stable now, and they still needed to keep Li Dan to stabilize the situation.
, at least you can't touch him now.
Li Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of disgust in his heart, waved his hand to Li Dan, and said: "Young Master, you don't have to be polite! Everything is your father's fault and has nothing to do with the Young Master."
"That's right!" Yue Ze continued: "Since the young master can take the initiative to surrender this time, it means that the young master has no rebellious intentions towards the emperor, and we will not put the fault of King Zhen on the young master."
After hearing what they said, Li Dan's heart finally dropped a little. He bowed his hands and said, "Li Dan thanks you all for your ungrateful kindness."
"Yes!" Li Xin responded, then looked around as if he was looking for something. After looking around, he asked Tang Yin, "Brother Wang, where is Li Hong now?"
Tang Yin casually pointed to the side room in the lobby and said, "It's right in the room."
A gleam flashed in Li Xin's eyes first, and then he said with a smile: "I'm going to see Brother Li Wang. After all, Brother Li and I haven't seen each other for several years."
How could Tang Yin not understand what he was thinking? Huan Guo had always been oppressed by Zhen Guo. Now it was rare to turn over and trample Zhen Guo under his feet. How could Li Xin miss this opportunity to humiliate Li Hong?
He didn't stop him, just nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, Brother Wang and Prince Zhen are 'old friends'. We rarely meet, so it's appropriate to catch up on old times."
Li Xin glanced at Tang Yin gratefully, and without saying another word, he walked towards the side room. Let’s not mention the grudges between Li Xin and Li Hong for the time being, and let’s talk about Yueze. He sat in the lobby for a while, and then
He stood up and pulled Tang Yin outside.
Seeing this, Lingshuang immediately followed him out. Li Dan originally wanted to follow him, but after a second thought, he gave up. To the kings, he was an outsider after all. There must have been many things among the kings that they did not want him, the crown prince of the Zheng Kingdom.
If you heard it, why should you shamelessly stick to it and make others uncomfortable?
Tang Yin, Yue Ze, and Ling Shuang came to the front courtyard outside the lobby. Yue Ze waved to the many guards around him and motioned them all to move away. After everyone had retreated a distance, he asked in a low voice: "Wang
Brother, what do you plan to do with Li Dan?"
"This..." Tang Yin did not answer, but asked: "What does Brother Yi Wang mean?"
"Li Dan can't stay! We have to do it as soon as possible..." As he spoke, he made a downward gesture with his palm.
Tang Yin nodded with a smile and responded: "I have the same intention, but now, Li Dan is still of some use to us. Once we have completely controlled Xitang and stabilized the overall situation, it will not be too late to get rid of him."
He really meant this. Yue Ze stroked his palms and smiled and said: "Brother Wang is very resourceful, so I don't need to worry too much about my brother." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "
Brother Wang is so fast!"
Stunned by his incomprehensible words, Tang Yin asked, "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?" Yue Ze shrugged and said, "Our army just broke through the city, and the Feng Jun brothers surrounded the palace. I, An Jun and Yu,
Jun, Huan Jun can't even get in even if he wants to!"
Tang Yin blinked, then raised his head and smiled. In fact, he did not privately order Feng Jun to take control of the palace immediately when the city was broken. I guess this was the intention of Xiao Muqing and Ziying. Both of them were commanders with experience in destroying countries, so naturally
It is very clear where the most important place is after conquering a country's capital, so it is not surprising that the Feng army seizes the opportunity.
He smiled and said: "The huge Xitang is the richest place in the Zheng Kingdom. How can all the money be in the palace? As far as I know, the treasury of the Zheng Kingdom is full of silver. Is it possible that Brother Wang still has money?"
Haven’t troops been sent to take over?”
Yue Ze took a breath, yes, why did he forget about the national treasury? If Zhenguo was a big country, how much gold and silver would be stored in the treasury?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Lingshuang, and found that the latter also showed a thoughtful expression. He quickly turned back and shouted: "Where is Pang Qiong?"
"The general is here!" With a reply, a tall An Jiang ran over, stood in front of Yue Ze, stepped in and saluted.
"You take your subordinates to the treasury. You must guard the treasury well and don't let thieves take advantage of the situation. Do you understand?"
"General, I obey!" General An named Pang Qiong nodded, and then rushed out. At this time, Lingshuang also winked at his generals and raised his head to the outside of the mansion. The generals of the Jade Army
Knowing this, Pang Qiong followed closely and rushed out of the Young Master's Mansion.
Tang Yin was very clever at changing the subject. He used the Zhenguo treasury to easily resolve the issue of monopolizing the palace.
Lingshuang looked into the lobby, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, there are quite a few ministers and generals of the Zheng Kingdom under Li Dan. Do these people also need to be escorted back to our army camp?"
"
This is a difficult problem. Tang Yin rubbed his chin gently and remained silent. Leaving these ministers and generals of the Zheng Kingdom behind would ultimately be a hidden danger and trouble for our side, but they were also Li Dan's confidants. If they were also detained
, and it is inconsistent with reason.
After pondering for a long time, he said: "Don't touch them for now. When we start to get rid of Li Dan, it won't be too late to eradicate these people together."
Lingshuang didn't mean anything wrong, she cupped her hands and said, "Just follow Brother Wang's opinion!"
Tang Yin's face straightened and he said: "Now, we must restrain our respective soldiers and make a gesture of temporarily taking over Xitang. We must not invade the people in the city at all. Only in this way can the situation in Xitang be stabilized as soon as possible. We also
We can take this opportunity to capture all the remnants of the Zhen Army and Li Hong scattered in the city, leaving no chance for them to cause trouble."
Yue Zeda nodded and agreed: "What brother Wang said is absolutely true. Once Li Hongyu's party is cleared away, we will be free to deal with Li Dan's group."
Tang Yin clasped his hands behind his back, but smiled and said nothing.
After the coalition forces conquered Xitang, they behaved like a righteous army with strict military discipline. They did not harm the people in the city and posted notices to calm the people, indicating that the coalition forces were ordered by the emperor to attack traitors and that Li Hongyi was the only one they wanted to eradicate.
Party, and will not implicate the people of Zhengguo.
The allied forces behaved themselves and behaved themselves, which gradually made the people of Zheng Guo feel relieved. There was no large-scale turmoil in Xitang City due to the invasion of the allied forces.
Taking advantage of this peaceful period, the coalition forces first secretly transferred Li Hong out of the city, escorted him back to the coalition camp, and kept him under strict guard. Then, the coalition forces used Li Dan's group's understanding and familiarity with Xitang and the imperial court to monitor Li Hong.
Those ministers who were loyal to Li Hong and hiding in various places in Xitang launched a roundup. Even during the roundup, the coalition forces deliberately avoided the people and tried not to harm innocent people. Even for those ministers who were loyal to Li Hong, they only arrested
Arresting the person himself does not involve his family.
In the first three days when the coalition forces captured Xitang, what they did was remarkable and nothing excessive, of course, at least on the surface it seemed that way.
During these three days, the coalition forces were actually not idle. As soon as the curfew came at night, the coalition forces began to move quietly.
The Feng Army transported the gold, silver and jewelry from the Zheng Kingdom Palace to the Feng Army camp outside the city in batches. The Yu and An armies were not polite, and they had a tacit understanding to divide the Zheng Kingdom's treasury equally.
Yinzi also took out Xitang at night and sent them back to their respective stations.
The only one who did not get any benefit was Huan Jun. Li Xin was very angry about this and had many arguments with Tang Yin, Yue Ze and Ling Shuang.
The three kings who had obtained the advantage naturally had the same view, and they all wanted to temporarily appease Li Xin. For this reason, Tang Yin also patted his chest and promised that as long as Li Dan and his family were eradicated, everything in Xitang City could be plundered by the Huan army. But now, it must
You have to stay safe.
His casual words, which seemed to be soothing, also laid a huge source of disaster for the people of Xitang. It is unknown whether he meant it or not.
Now is the time to search for the wealth of Xitang. Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin all chose to live in Xitang City and handle the affairs of the city nearby. Only Tang Yin was the exception. Not only did he still live in the coalition camp, but also
After the Feng Army looted the palace, he even withdrew the Feng Army from Xitang. He offered to Ling, Yue, and Li that the Feng Army would be responsible for guarding the prisoners of the Zhen Army. The three of them were also happy and relaxed.
