That night, there was no sexual intercourse between Tang Yin and Lingshuang. They just simply hugged each other and slept for a night. But something seemed to have happened. At least the two of them had completely different feelings about each other. It seemed that they were
There is a little more closeness, a little more care and concern, and it looks more like a quasi-family with an engagement.
The rapid changes in the relationship between Tang Yin and Lingshuang made the soldiers of both Fengyu and Yu armies secretly surprised, but people were also very happy. As the monarchs of the two countries became more and more harmonious, the relationship between the two countries would naturally develop and become smoother.
Now, both Feng and Jade countries hope that the alliance between Feng and Yu will be stable for a long time.
Before Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen rushed to Zhenjiang, news suddenly came from the Zhenjiang camp. Gao Hang, the former commander of the Zhenjiang Navy, and Gong Wendao, the former commander of the Donghai Navy, led the navy of the two armies to surrender and are now gathered in Zhenjiang.
Outside the camp, ask Tang Yin to make a decision.
The generals were surprised when they heard the news that Gao Hang had come to surrender. Without waiting for others to advise Tang Yin, Generals Sun Bing and Xu Yan immediately told Tang Yin that they would never accept Gao Hang's surrender.
Gao Hang had a blood feud with his own side. The annihilation of one hundred thousand of his own naval forces was caused by Gao Hang. If Sun Bing and Xu Yan had not made up their minds and fought to the death, they would have been blamed on Gao Hang.
They were both jealous and afraid of Gao Hang. What's more, with Gao Hang's ability, if he was really accepted by Feng Kingdom, they would probably not be able to keep their positions as chief generals of the navy.
In the Battle of Zhenjiang this time, although the navy commanded by Sun Bing and Xu Yan were beaten to a pulp and they almost died together, Tang Yin not only did not blame the two men, but instead rewarded them greatly, giving them respectively.
He was given the title of lieutenant general.
The reason is very simple. The battle was lost, but the loss was not humiliating. The Feng Army had the momentum that they would rather break the jade than live in ruins. The most important point is that they successfully attracted the Zhenjiang navy headed by Gao Hang and became the Pingyuan Army.
He paved the way for the smooth smuggling of the Feiyu Army. It can be said that the Feng Army was able to conquer the capital of Mo State in one go. Even if Sun Bing and Xu Yan's contributions were not ranked first, they were among the best.
Tang Yin still attached great importance to their opinions. However, it would be a pity in Tang Yin's opinion to refuse Gao Hang's surrender. He thought about it for a long time and finally decided to meet Gao Hang and make a decision after the meeting.
Either kill or stay.
Tang Yin's decree was conveyed to the Zhenjiang camp, and then the chief general of the Zhenjiang camp conveyed Tang Yin's decree to the remaining naval forces of the Mo Kingdom.
Tang Yin's decree did not clearly state that he would accept the surrender of Gao Hang and his men. As long as Gao Hang went to Zhenjiang to plead guilty, Gong Wendao, the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Navy who was once his subordinate, worriedly persuaded: "General, look at the future.
, King Feng wants to kill the general, the general must not be fooled and cannot go to Zhenjiang!"
Gao Hang smiled bitterly, although the Zhenjiang Navy and the Donghai Navy have now been united, with more than 100,000 troops and nearly a thousand large and small warships, all the counties and counties in the Mo Kingdom have fallen into the hands of the Feng Kingdom.
, he has become a lonely army, and more than 100,000 brothers have to eat and drink every day, but where does the food and grass come from? Where does the military salary come from? Without land support, how can he support this huge navy under his command? He sighed.
, said: "If I can use my life to exchange for the lives of all the soldiers in the army, it will be worth it!"
"General..." Gong Wendao was very anxious and said in a trembling voice: "Feng Ren hates the general to the core. The general's trip will definitely bring disaster and misfortune. You must not do it!"
Gao Hang waved his hand and said: "If my trip to Zhenjiang really never comes back, and Feng State has no intention of accepting our army, Wen Dao, please let those brothers who want to go home and live a stable life leave."
Well, if there are still brothers who don’t want to leave, you... can take them far away. There are many island countries to the east of the East China Sea. Although pirates are raging, I think with your ability, you can definitely conquer a world with your brothers."
Hearing this, Gong Wendao cried on the spot, choked and grabbed Gao Hang's sleeves, wiping his tears and said: "Why doesn't the general take us away? As long as the general is here, the hearts of the soldiers will not be broken.
No matter where we go, we will never insult the reputation of Damo Navy!"
Gao Hang shook his head and said: "Leaving home is not what I want, nor what all the brothers want. It is a solution that there is really no other way in the end. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I should work hard to try so that the soldiers can stay.
I am reunited with my family in my hometown, so I have to go during this trip to Zhenjiang."
He said it all to this point, and Gong Wendao could no longer persuade him. The latter said: "If the general insists on going, let the last general accompany the general!"
"No!" Gao Hang refused flatly and said sternly: "There must be someone in charge in the army. I will go alone. Even if there is an accident, you will still be there. If you and I go together, if we both die together,
In Zhenjiang, wouldn’t those more than 100,000 brothers become mere prey and be slaughtered by others?”
This is the truth, but Gong Wendao couldn't bear to watch Gao Hang's sheep fall into the tiger's mouth.
In the end, Gao Hang did not accept Gong Wendao's dissuasion. He took a small boat with only one rowing sailor, left his own navy camp, and headed for the Zhenjiang Camp, which had long been occupied by the Feng Army.
The commander-in-chief of the Zhenjiang camp really didn't expect Gao Hang to obey the king's order and come alone.
When Gao Hang arrived, General Feng was a little unprepared and at a loss. He didn't know whether he should be tied up and escorted to Zhenjiang for questioning, or whether he should be invited to Zhenjiang as a guest.
After thinking about it, since they came on their own initiative, don't be too stingy. General Feng Jun sent a large number of troops to 'escort' Gao Hang to Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang Camp is very close to Zhenjiang City, and the distance between them is only more than one mile.
hour.
Soon, Gao Hang was 'escorted' by numerous soldiers of the Feng Army to Zhenjiang City, and walked all the way to the main entrance of the palace.
Gao Hang, who was sitting in the carriage, raised the curtains and looked out. He saw the majestic palace standing in front of him. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Not long ago, this was the royal palace of the Mo Kingdom, and for thousands of years
It has always been the case, but only a few days have passed. The Mo Kingdom has been destroyed, and the palace has also fallen into the hands of Feng Jun. Looking around the palace, the guards standing guard are all wearing black helmets, black armor, and red heads. They are all Feng people.
.
Alas! Missing me so much, it was very popular for a while, who would have thought that we would end up in such a miserable situation today? Whose fault is this? Thinking of this, Gao Hang slowly lowered the car curtain, fell back, and leaned on
Standing against the wall of the car, I looked up to the sky and sighed.
The palace guard passed the news into the palace and reported it to Tang Yin. When the latter heard it, he responded without raising his head, and then nothing more happened.
Tang Yin looked at the pile of memorials seriously. The soldiers below were a little anxious. Now that Gao Hang has arrived, whether he should be killed or beheaded, the king has to say something!
Thinking that Tang Yin had not heard the guard's report clearly, Sun Bing and Xu Yan glanced at each other. They both stepped out of the queue, bowed their hands to Tang Yin, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Gao Hang has been brought and is now in the palace.
Outside the door!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin's eyes were still on the memorial, and he didn't even raise his eyelids. He still responded vaguely and casually.
"Then...will the king see you?" Sun Bing asked impatiently.
Tang Yin finally put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Sun Bing with a smile, and said, "It seems that General Sun is more anxious than I am!"
Sun Bing was startled, lowered his head in a hurry, and whispered: "The general will not dare."
"Since Gao Hang came here alone, it means that he does intend to defect..." Tang Yin muttered, then picked up the tea, took a slow sip, and continued: "However, I heard that this person is very arrogant.
Just let him wait outside and temper his pride!"
Sun Bing and Xu Yan secretly grinned. It seemed that the king was planning to conquer Gao Hang. If he wanted to kill him, there was no need to go to such trouble and he could just behead him. Sun Bing still wanted to speak. At this time, Xu Yan asked
He winked and signaled that he should not say any more, which would offend the king and cause more harm than gain. Sun Bing understood Xu Yan's meaning, shook his head helplessly, saluted Tang Yin again, and then returned to his column with Xu Yan.
Besides the palace, the soldiers of Zhenjiang Camp completed their mission by sending Gao Hang to the palace. After handing over with the palace guards, they left Gao Hang and returned to Zhenjiang Camp.
Feng Jun from Zhenjiang Camp left, but the guards did not bring Gao Hang into the palace, and no one even talked to him, leaving him alone outside.
It was midsummer now, and the weather was hot. Gao Hang stood alone in the sun. In just a moment, he was covered in sweat.
He was confused as to what Feng Jun meant by not killing him and not taking him to see King Feng, but just ignoring him and treating him as if he didn't exist.
But after thinking about it, I understood in my heart that this was definitely not Feng Jun’s intention, but Feng King’s intention. Thinking about it, Feng King wanted to dampen his own spirit before meeting!
Gao Hang smiled bitterly, he had become a general who had subjugated his country, how could he still have any spirit left? On this trip, as long as the lives of all the soldiers in the army could be guaranteed, he would have no regrets in dying.
Thinking of this, he calmed down and stood under the scorching sun, closing his eyes and not moving.
Looking at the beads of sweat dripping down Gao Hang's cheeks from time to time, the Fengjun guards opposite also secretly admired him. His determination alone was definitely extraordinary.
Gao Hang stood outside the palace gate for nearly an hour before high-pitched chants came out from inside the palace: "Send the king's order to summon Gao Hang into the palace -"
Hearing that the king's order finally came out, even the Fengjun guards sighed for Gao Hang. It was estimated that if he waited any longer, Gao Hang would be exposed to the sun and collapse. Two guards quickly stepped forward, raised their hands and said: "General Gao,
Your Majesty invites you!"
Gao Hang's patience and determination were admirable, and the Fengjun guards were also polite to him, and their words were full of admiration. Gao Hang swallowed his saliva, moistened his dry throat, and raised his hands to the guards and said
: "Thank you, you two, for leading the way."
"General Gao, you're welcome, please come inside!" As they spoke, the two guards turned aside to let Gao Hang go first.
