When Tang Yin's team arrived at Meicheng, Yue Ze had been waiting here for more than ten days. After hearing the news that Tang Yin had finally arrived, Yue Ze personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him. After meeting, the two of them could not help but exchange polite greetings.
On the way into the city, Tang Yin and Yue Ze shared a car. Tang Yin got to the point first and asked: "Brother Yue Wang, what is the situation in Chizhou now?"
Yue Ze shook his head repeatedly and said: "The situation is critical!" As he said that, he sighed and said: "It is reported that the strength of the Huan Army at the border of Chizhou has almost increased to 300,000, with Qingyun Hou Lu Chen as the commander-in-chief.
It’s possible to cross the border!”
"Qingyun Hou Lu Chen?" Tang Yin was quite unfamiliar with this name and asked, "Who is he?"
Yue Ze said seriously: "Lu Chen is a famous general of the Huan Kingdom. He is a son of an aristocratic family. He is both civil and military. He can also be ranked first among the four generals of the Huan Kingdom!"
Tang Yin nodded and did not ask any more questions about this matter. In his opinion, Huan Jun still had some fighting strength, but only a little, and it was nothing to worry about.
After entering the city, Yue Ze invited Tang Yin into the county capital of Meicheng. In the lobby of the county capital, Tang Yin and Yue Ze sat side by side, with the generals and ministers of Feng and An on both sides.
The county chief of Chizhou unfortunately sat in the lowest position. After all, any of the civil servants and military generals present would be of much higher rank than the county chief.
Yue Ze had ordered people to prepare wine and food in advance. During the banquet, he and Tang Yin exchanged cups, and the generals of Feng'an and Feng'an below also frequently toasted.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Yue Ze also asked the singers and dancers he brought specially from Anguo to the lobby to perform songs and dances to entertain Tang Yin and many other generals.
The atmosphere of the banquet was lively and harmonious, and everyone present had a great time eating and drinking.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yue Ze leaned towards Tang Yin with a hint of drunkenness and asked: "Brother Tang Wang, tell me, do we, An Guo, want to fight this war with Huan Guo?
"
Even though Tang Yin drank a lot, he was very clear-headed. He smiled lightly and said, "If Brother Yue Wang really doesn't want to fight this war, you don't have to fight it, but it is inevitable to cede territory. Now Huan
The country has already started such a big war, I am afraid that it is far from enough to satisfy them with just one county. From my point of view, only if the Yue King brother gives up Chizhou and Gurao counties to Huan Guo, then Huan Guo will have the possibility to retreat!"
"So that's it." Yueze would not be willing to give up even one county, let alone two counties, otherwise he would not be where he is today.
He thought so in his heart, but he did not say so. He said quietly: "Huan's army is strong, brave and good at fighting. Our An army is afraid that it will be Huan's opponent. This battle..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin had already raised his head and smiled and said: "Today, Huan Jun only sent troops to threaten, so he asked Brother Yue Wang to give up the land of the two counties. Tomorrow, if Huan Jun sent troops to threaten again, wouldn't Brother Yue Wang give up An Guo?"
half of the country?”
These words spoke to Yue Ze's heart, and were the greatest concern for the Anguo court. Yue Ze's complexion changed, and he no longer pretended to probe Tang Yin's tone. He gritted his teeth and said: "So, An Guo must fight this battle, and
Huan must be defeated."
"Not only is it a defeat, but if you want to eliminate future troubles forever, Brother Yue Wang must take this opportunity to annex the Huan Kingdom in one go." Tang Yin picked up the wine glass and said quietly.
Yue Ze's eyes suddenly lit up. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said helplessly: "But the Huan Army is also a tiger and wolf army that is good at fighting. There was a time when the Huan Army and the Zhen Army were evenly matched. For me,
For An Guo, it is already difficult to defeat the Huan Army, so how can we still have the strength to annex the Huan State?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Feng, how can the alliance between An and An be just talk? Brother Yue Wang, how do you think his Huan army is better than our Feng army?"
Yue Ze didn't even think about it and blurted out: "The bravery of the Feng Army is hard to match in the world. Naturally, it will be several times better than the Huan Army!"
"In this case, what else does Brother Yue Wang have to worry about?" Tang Yin said with a smile: "Once Anhuan fights, I will definitely stand on Brother Yue Wang's side. If Brother Yue Wang is in trouble, I and even all the people of Feng Kingdom will
Ten thousand troops will also fight side by side with Brother Yue Wang to defeat the enemy!"
Oh, what Yue Ze was waiting for was Tang Yin's personal promise. When he heard that he was finished, Yue Ze was so happy that he almost jumped up from his seat. He held Tang Yin's hand emotionally, his eyes were spinning in his sockets, and he said in a trembling voice
: "With the words of a wise brother, Brother Yu can rest assured. With a wise brother to help me, no matter how prosperous his country is, no matter how strong his army is, there is nothing to fear!"
Looking at Yue Ze who was so happy that he almost couldn't find Bei, Xiao Muqing, Nie Ze, Wu Ying and others sitting below all laughed secretly in their hearts. Let the prey get into the trap you set in advance, and you can also make the prey burst into tears of gratitude to you.
Your Majesty is really a good hunter!
Tang Yin and Yue Ze had a great conversation, and after the banquet, the monarchs of the two countries formally signed an alliance.
For Yue Ze, the signing of the alliance between Feng'an and Feng'an is of great significance. This is no longer a verbal promise from Tang Yin, but a basis and further guarantee. But for Tang Yin, the alliance between the two countries is nothing.
.
The Emperor is in the Feng Kingdom, and as long as he is willing, he can ask the Emperor to accuse Anguo of an unreasonable crime at any time. Then the Feng Kingdom will only need to use the banner of the Emperor to stand on the highest point of morality and justifiably attack Anguo.
Feng Guo has already used the trick of "obeying the orders of heaven, obeying the decree and fighting against rebellion", and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
With the signing of the treaty between Feng and An, Yue Ze's confidence suddenly increased and he patted his chest and assured Tang Yin that once Huan was successfully destroyed in the future, An would only have five Huandong counties, and all other counties could be surrendered.
Yu Fengguo.
Tang Yin didn't care much about this. After the battle was won, who could share more of the spoils and who could share less was not decided by the monarchs of the two sides, but by the strength of the two countries. It would be nonsense to say more now.
He asked Yue Zedao: "Brother Yue Wang, does he have an overall strategy in mind for the war against Huan?"
Yue Ze himself did not know how to use troops, and he had never thought about such far-reaching questions. Now Tang Yin asked him, but he was stunned and hesitant and unable to answer.
When Tang Yin saw this, he sighed secretly. As one of the protagonists of the war, Yue Ze didn't even know how to fight Huan, nor did he discuss it with his generals. If he expected the An army to defeat the Huan army, that would be really bad.
Expect a miracle to happen.
Tang Yin sneered at Yue Ze's ability, but did not reveal anything on the surface. He even comforted the embarrassed Yue Ze: "It's too late to discuss a specific battle plan. Are all the generals of your army in Meicheng now?"
"Yes, yes, yes, basically they are all in the county." Yue Ze nodded repeatedly, paused, and then said: "It's just that the general in charge of the army, Bai Qing, is still at the border."
"Brother King Yue must urgently summon General Bai back to Meicheng. Since she is the commander-in-chief of your army before the war, we need to discuss the war against the Huan army. It is impossible without her." Tang Yin said decisively.
"Okay, Brother Fool, listen to Brother Xian. I will call General Bai back tomorrow... no, I will call General Bai back now!"
When Zhen was exterminated, Yue Ze had seen Tang Yin's ability to lead an army in battle, and knew that he was an expert in this field. He could be said to obey Tang Yin's words now.
Bai Qing is a female general from Anguo. She is already over 40 years old. In fact, there were not many female generals as old as her at that time. Generally speaking, female generals or soldiers in the army will get married when they are in their twenties. After they get married,
, she had to take off her armor and return to the fields, go home to support her husband and raise her children, and those like Bai Qing who continued to stay in the army after getting married were completely outliers. Of course, this was also directly related to the early death of her husband.
Yue Ze issued an order to urgently summon Bai Qing back to Meicheng. Although he did not explain his intention, Bai Qing, who received the order, had already guessed that the King of Wind had just arrived at Meicheng and the King recalled him. Obviously, the King had reached an agreement with the King of Wind.
They reached a consensus that they would formally start a war with Huan, and the only purpose of calling themselves back to Meicheng was to discuss specific strategies for fighting Huan.
Before leaving the camp, Bai Qing asked Wang Han, the deputy commander, to temporarily lead the entire army, and left her two nephews Bai Chong and Bai Xi to assist. After all arrangements were made, she led a group of soldiers on fast horses from Anhuan.
Return to Meicheng from the border.
At this time, the atmosphere of war in Meicheng was even stronger than on the border. The Feng Kingdom army was stationed outside the city. Almost all the people coming in and out of Meicheng were soldiers. Rows of grain pressing teams drove into Meicheng from time to time, and then
Looking at the city head, there are many soldiers and armors, rolling logs and piles of broken stones.
Bai Qing was opposed to the upcoming battle between Anhuan and Anhuan. She couldn't understand how the Anhuan and Anhuan countries, which used to get along so well and were so close to each other, inexplicably ended up in such a situation where they were now at war with each other.
situation.
However, she is a general in the army, not a minister in the court. She cannot intervene in political issues and does not care much. Her duty is to act according to orders and lead the soldiers in the army to defeat the enemy.
With the arrival of Bai Qing, discussions between Feng and An on the war against Huan also officially began.
The Bai family is a military family in Anguo. However, what is strange is that the Bai family has always been dominated by yin and yang, with women taking the lead and men as assistants. This time, most of the generals who followed Bai Qing back to Meicheng were
her niece.
However, having such a group of female generals join the boring military aircraft meeting is also a refreshing and joyful thing.
Bai Qing knew the situation on the border best. On the sand table, she marked the location of the Huan Army's camp, its branch camps, fortresses, and even the troops hoarded everywhere.
Tang Yin also nodded while watching. Originally, he didn't think much of this female general, but looking at her knowledge of the enemy army, he could tell that this female general was not just messing around in the army, but had some
scholarship.
After reading Bai Qing's notes on the Huan Army's camps, Tang Yin's eyes brightened and he said faintly: "Fish Scale Formation."
