After returning Zhang and Chu to Ning Jun, Shangguan Yuanrang and others were also discussing with Tang Yin whether the other party would keep its promise and withdraw the entire army from Jinguang County. In Tang Yin's view, Cai Youling is the trump card in his hand. , don’t worry if Ning Jun won’t submit.
Sure enough, in the evening of that day, the sentry on the tower came to report to Tang Yin, saying that Ning soldiers in the camp had begun to pack up the camp and gathered their tents, and it seemed that they were preparing to evacuate. After hearing the news, Tang Yin was naturally overjoyed and immediately led the troops Shangguan Yuanrang and others went up to the top of the city to watch what was going on in the Ning army camp.
As reported by his subordinates, the Ning Army camp is now very busy. There are Ning troops coming and going everywhere with torches held high. The tents in many barracks have been removed, revealing large open spaces. Tang Yin squinted a pair of green gloves. Ye Yan, walking slowly on the city wall, raised his eyes and looked at the Ningjun camp.
Others may not be able to clearly see the situation in Ning Jun's camp, but he can. While looking at him, he nodded secretly in his heart. It was indeed what he expected, and Zhan Wushuang finally compromised.
Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and the smile on his face deepened. Shen Zhichen was also watching, but he didn't have night eyes, and he didn't have eyesight as strong as Tang Yin. After watching for a long time, he couldn't see clearly, but when he saw Tang Yin's face With a smile on his face, he guessed that Ning Jun was indeed about to retreat. He rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Ning Jun can't cheat, can he?"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately stopped, looked back at Shen Zhichen, and asked, "What did General Shen say?"
Shen Zhichen frowned and said with concern: "I always feel that it is abnormal for Ning's army to retreat like this. Every step forward for an army of 400,000 is a huge expense. Ning's army finally advanced to Jinguang County, and then After confronting our army for so many days, it is unbelievable that the entire army would withdraw just because of Cai Youling. No matter how unusual or important Cai Youling's identity was, the commander-in-chief of the Ning Army should not have made such a hasty decision to withdraw. Sir, when Ning's army retreated, could it be that they deliberately put on a show to confuse our army and make our army unprepared, and then take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack overnight?"
Ah? After hearing what Shen Zhichen said, Tang Yin couldn't help but take a breath. What he said was not unreasonable! Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed abnormal for Zhan Wushuang to accept the conditions he proposed so happily. Could it be that Ning, Ning Is the army really pretending to retreat, but actually they want to make a sneak attack at night?
Thinking of this, Tang Yin clenched his fists, and the green light in his eyes became brighter, so bright that it almost shot out. He nodded and said to the others: "General Shen's concerns are right. We can't act like we want to withdraw because of Ning Jun." Just take it lightly, you must be more vigilant tonight!"
Shangguan Yuanrang and others' faces straightened, they all raised their hands and said, "I understand, sir."
"Also," Tang Yin rubbed his chin and said faintly: "It is not safe to imprison Cai Youling and others in Beicheng..." He did not expect that Ning Jun would send people to secretly rescue people, but thought that once Ning Jun came to attack, , Beicheng will definitely be the focus of the Ning army's attack. Cai Youling and others are imprisoned in Beicheng. What if they escape while they are in trouble?
Shen Zhichen asked: "Where do you think it is appropriate to imprison them?"
Tang Yin thought carefully for a moment and said: "I will temporarily imprison them in my big tent tonight, and I will take care of them nearby. I am not afraid that there will be any problems."
"Yes, sir!" Shen Zhichen had no objection and bowed to take the order.
Tang Yin said to Shangguan Yuanrang again: "Yuanrang, please work harder tonight and help General Shen guard Beicheng."
"Yes!" Shangguan Yuanrang agreed simply.
After explaining everything that should be explained, Tang Yin stood on the top of the city and watched for a while, then led the people down the city wall and ordered them to return to their posts.
Not long after, Shen Zhichen personally led his soldiers to escort Cai Youling and the four of them to Tang Yin's tent.
The four people are two men and two women. In addition to Cai Youling, the other three are Feng Yuze, Jin Lei and Shen Cuiling. Feng Yuze is the son of Taifu Feng Cheng, Jin Lei is the son of Lieutenant General Jin Huan, and Shen Cuiling is the son of Lieutenant General Jin Huan. She is the daughter of General Shen Fang. Among the four, Cai Youling and Feng Yuze have the most prominent family backgrounds.
When they saw Tang Yin in casual clothes in the tent, the four of them were stunned, wondering what his purpose was in ordering the four of them to be brought here.
Seeing the four people glaring at him full of enemies and wariness, Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Tonight, the four of you will stay in my big tent."
"Master Tang, what does this mean?" Cai Youling asked.
Tang Yin said slowly: "For your safety, I'm worried that there will be no peace in Jinhua City tonight."
Not understanding what he meant, Cai Youling didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Where did you take Zhang Chu and the four of them?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Of course I will send them home!"
"Did you kill them?" Cai Youling and the other four asked in unison.
Tang Yin said: "Didn't you understand what I said? I sent them back to your Ning Army's camp." Seeing that the four of them had shocked expressions on their faces, he continued: "If Ning Army retreats obediently, the four of you will They will also be sent back together."
Cai Youling thought for a moment and said in surprise: "You are using us to threaten General Wushuang?"
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said, "You have such value, don't you?"
Cai Youling glared at Tang Yin, gritted her silver teeth, and said angrily: "Tang Yin, you are so despicable!"
Tang Yin said nonchalantly: "No matter what means you use on the battlefield, it is not considered despicable, as long as you can achieve the final victory. If the commander's incompetence leads to countless casualties among the soldiers below, then it is called despicable and despicable."
Cai Youling was so angry that she couldn't speak. In her opinion, she and Tang Yin couldn't explain the truth at all.
Tang Yin was too lazy to talk to them. He stood up and walked behind the screen and said, "I'll sleep inside and you sleep outside. Don't try to escape. The outside is heavily guarded. Even if you turn into flies, you won't be able to fly out." Don't try to plot against me, I sleep very lightly, if you get too close to me, be careful I accidentally take your head!"
As he spoke, he walked behind the screen, lay down on the bed, and slept with his clothes on.
Cai Youling, Feng Yuze, Jin Lei, and Shen Cuiling who stayed in the tent looked at each other and sighed in unison. After all, Tang Yin had no intention of killing them now, which made them somewhat relieved. Feng Yuze asked in a low voice. Said: "Did Zhang Chu and the others really be released by Tang Yin? If this is the case, then we will be released soon too!"
Cai Youling glanced at him and slowly lowered his head.
She was not as optimistic as Feng Yuze. In order to make the Ning army retreat outside the city, Tang Yin was able to release the four Zhang and Chu people. But once the Ning army really withdrew, it was not certain whether Tang Yin would release the four members of his own army.
At this time, Shen Cuiling started sobbing softly again and muttered intermittently: "I had known this... I shouldn't have listened to my father and went with the army... If I hadn't come to Feng Country... I would still be in Liangzhou now. At home..."
Shen Cuiling can be regarded as the weakest among them. Since being captured, she has been crying and complaining all day long. Cai Youling and others have long been tired of trying to persuade her, and now that she is crying, no one cares about her anymore.
The big tent became quiet, except for Shen Cuiling's faint cries.
After a while, a gentle gasp came from the screen. It was Tang Yin's cry.
Cai Youling looked up at the screen, then looked around again.
Tang Yin's big tent can be said to have only four walls and nothing else. Except for the screen at the end, there is only a table inside the tent, and there are not even weapons hanging on the tent. Her eyes kept turning, Finally, it falls on the wine bottle in the center of the table.
It can be seen that the hip flask is made of pure copper. Although the weight is unknown, it is the only hard thing in the tent.
Cai Youling gritted her teeth, and then secretly pulled down Feng Yuze's sleeve. The latter turned to look at her blankly. She first pointed her crossbow at the table, then bent down and wrote the word "kill" on the ground with her index finger.
Feng Yuze was not a fool. After reading this, he immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to kill Tang Yin with a wine pot!
He trembled and shook his head at Cai Youling, expressing his disapproval.
Cai Youling grabbed his arm hard and signaled him to be quiet, then stood up and walked slowly to the table.
She walked carefully, for fear of making any noise. When she reached the table, she stood quietly for a while, then slowly picked up the wine bottle. The wine bottle was half empty, but it was not light. It was heavy in her hand. If she used it If you hit someone on the head with all your strength, the skull will probably be broken.
She stood quietly in front of the table for a while, listening to the gentle breathing inside the screen, then grabbed the wine bottle and quickly returned.
At this time, Shen Cuiling stopped crying and gathered around with Jin Lei, looking at Cai Youling in shock and horror.
Cai Youling squatted down, handed the wine bottle to Feng Yuze, and quickly wrote a few words on the ground: Kill Tang Yin and find an opportunity to escape!
Holding the wine flask handed to him by Cai Youling, Feng Yuze's hands were trembling. He hit Tang Yin to death with the wine flask. It was easy to say, but what if he couldn't be killed? What if he attracted the attention of the defenders outside the tent and rushed to kill him? What to do? His head was shaking like a rattle, as if he had taken a hot potato and stuffed the jug back into Cai Youling's hands.
Staring at him fiercely, Cai Youling secretly cursed him for being useless. Then, he handed the jug to Jin Lei and wrote on the ground: Go kill Tang Yin.
Jin Lei's courage was not as good as Feng Yuze's. When he saw her handing the wine bottle in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, his body leaned back, and he backed away like a snake.
Damn it! If he could speak out now, Cai Youling would definitely point at their noses and curse.
Looking at the frightened Feng Yuze and Jin Lei, and then listening to the even breathing inside the screen, Cai Youling gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and decided to take action himself. Even if he couldn't kill Tang Yin, he would still be injured. It's also good to live in.
