The Ning general didn't know what Cai Youling was going to do. He looked at the driver driving the carriage and sighed in his heart. Cai Youling wanted to take out his grievances on this driver! But he didn't stop him. If a Fengjun driver died, he would die. Come on! Thinking about it, he pulled out the sword and handed it to Cai Youling.
Cai Youling took the sword, weighed it in her hand, and then held it tightly. Instead of running towards the coachman, she turned around and stabbed Shen Cuiling who was standing next to her with her sword.
At this time, Shen Cuiling was in the extreme joy of surviving the disaster. She never dreamed that Cai Youling would suddenly strike her with a sword. She was completely unprepared. She didn't even understand what was going on. She only heard a thump in her ear. This sword hit Shen Cuiling squarely in the chest.
Shen Cuiling's body suddenly shook. She lowered her head to look at the steel sword that pierced her chest. Then she slowly raised her head and looked at Cai Youling in disbelief. Her mouth opened, and blood with bubbles immediately flowed from the corners of her mouth. When she came out, she asked intermittently: "Why... why..."
Cai Youling's sudden sword also stunned the surrounding Ning soldiers, especially the Ning general who handed over the sword. He was stunned and stuttered: "Miss Youling... you... you... yes……"
She raised her feet and kicked Shen Cuiling's stomach, and withdrew her arms forcefully. Cai Youling pulled out the sword forcefully. Looking at Shen Cuiling who was lying on the ground and twitching, she sighed angrily and said to Ning Jiang. : "After Shen Cuiling was captured, in order to save her own life, she took the initiative to sacrifice herself to the general of the Feng Army, degrading the face of our Ning Army. Killing her like this is already an advantage for her!"
Shen Cuiling was lying on the ground, her eyes wide open and the corners of her eyes were about to burst. Unfortunately, the fatal wound on her chest prevented her from even saying a word of defense.
Cai Youling knew very well in her heart that if the news about her being violated by Tang Yin was reported back to Ningguo, how much impact it would have on her. Her future, life, reputation and even everything she owned might be shattered and taken away. The person who knew the inside story at that time was Shen Cui Ling, Feng Yuze, Jin Lei, but Feng and Jin have all been killed by Tang Yin. Now the only survivor is Shen Cuiling. Of course Cai Youling wants to kill her to silence her. As for the reason for killing her, he took the initiative to surrender to General Xiang Feng. This is enough. Since there is no evidence, no one can really go to the Fengjun camp to find Tang Yin to investigate the matter.
Cai Youling was very scheming and ruthless, and he didn't even blink when he attacked Shen Cuiling.
After hearing her words, Ning Jiang was stunned. After waiting for a moment, he came to his senses. Looking at Shen Cuiling who had not yet died, he said harshly: "If so, she deserves to die, but killing her like this is indeed It’s too cheap for her!”
"Forget it!" Cai Youling handed the sword back to General Ning, pretending to be sad and said quietly: "She was also trying to save her life. In the Fengjun camp, the enemy did not dare to touch me, but they did not dare to touch anyone else. Kill her if you want to, and you can’t blame her completely if she does something that insults the national custom."
"Ah! Miss Youling really understands justice! Miss Youling was shocked this time, but it's good to be back safely now. Miss Youling, please return to the camp quickly!"
"Well! General Lao will come to pick you up in person!"
"Oh, Miss Ling is so polite again."
The two women who came back in the same carriage, Cai Youling, were carried back to the camp by the Ning soldiers. However, the innocent Shen Cuiling died in an unknown way, and her body was dragged along by the Ning soldiers. Return to the camp.
Returning to Ning Jun's camp, after meeting Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, Cai Youling's pitiful appearance in front of Tang Yin disappeared without a trace, and she transformed into a strong woman who was calm in the face of danger and fearless of life and death. She was half-real.
He half-falsely recounted how he "matched wits and courage" with the enemy generals after he was captured.
Listening to her boastful talk, it didn't sound like she had been captured and then released, but more like she had returned victorious.
Although Zhan Wushuang didn't really believe what she said, she was finally released, which gave him no worries. He asked: "Is Miss Youling planning to stay in the army or return to China first?
"
Keeping aristocratic children like Cai Youling in the army would not only be of no help to him, but would instead be a burden.
When Cai Youling heard this, he immediately said without even thinking about it: "I think I'd better go back to China first."
This was exactly what Zhan Wushuang wanted, and he immediately nodded in agreement without trying to persuade her to stay.
In Cai Youling's view, Tang Yin is not a simple person. With the current strength of Ning's army, it is too difficult to defeat him. Maybe it is like what Tang Yin said. If he attacks easily, 400,000 Ning led by Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi will
The army had to explain it to Fengdi. However, she did not dare to say this, for fear of being labeled as disturbing the morale of the army and causing trouble for herself. Now that she could stay away from Fengdi and return to Ning Country, it was the best choice.
She didn't say anything in the army that Ning's army was defeated by Tang Yin, but after returning to Ning State, she repeatedly expressed concern about Ning's army's fighting situation. In the end, unfortunately, she was right. Of course, this is something to say later.
After taking back their own hostages, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi were no longer afraid. They immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw from the camp and march towards Jinhua City.
The second battle between the Tianyuan Army and the Ning Army also quietly began and was about to break out.
During the Ning Army's advance, the Pingyuan Army led by Xiao Muqing launched a lightning attack to attack Huaiyang, the county seat of Jinguang County.
The Pingyuan Army marched too fast. They marched through the night and three hundred days a day. The original five or six-day journey took only two days to arrive. When daybreak, the defenders at the top of Huaiyang City looked outside and saw that the Pingyuan Army had arrived at the city.
, a phalanx of 100,000 people lined up in front of Huaiyang City. Looking around, they were all densely packed with wind troops, boundless.
When the defenders of Huaiyang saw this, they were all frightened. They rolled down the city wall and hurriedly reported to the governor Yu Tao. The defenders of Huaiyang were all improvised mobs with no experience. When Yu Tao asked them
When the enemy arrived, the soldier who reported the news replied with a trembling voice: "There are too many, and the end of the phalanx cannot be seen. There must be at least hundreds of thousands of people!"
After Yu Tao heard this, he was almost scared to fly out. His first reaction was to quickly pack up his belongings and run away with his family. At this time, his counselors and generals stopped him one after another. One of them was called
Instead of being nervous, Zongyuan's counselor smiled and said, "Why are you running, sir? The Tianyuan Army will come as soon as it comes."
Hearing this, Yu Tao almost laughed angrily and said: "What you said is easy. Hundreds of thousands of Tianyuan Army's troops are coming to kill me. If I don't run away, what are I waiting for? Waiting for the enemy to break through the city and kill my head?"
Zong Yuan smiled and said: "You don't need the Tianyuan Army to break the city, I just take the initiative to hand over the city. Since you know that you are outmatched, why don't you follow the example of Zhao Hui, the head of Guannan County? Now that the Tianyuan Army is attacking us, it is obviously to eliminate our worries. As long as you
Taking the initiative to hand over the city and surrender to Tang Yin, the Tianyuan Army will never harm you in order to maintain the stability of Jinguang County, and will continue to make you the county chief. Compared with fleeing, isn't this much better?!"
"Oh..." After hearing what he said, Yu Tao secretly thought that's right. Zhao Hui showed his favor to Tang Yin in the first place. Now he can't just act as the head of Guannan County for him. He might as well hand over the city and surrender anyway.
Looking at the current situation, relying on Zhong Tian is not as safe as relying on Tang Yin.
Thinking of this, he followed Zong Yuan's advice and immediately sent a trusted general out of the city to meet with the Tianyuan Army to explore the opponent's tone first.
In fact, Zong Yuan did not finish what he said. Zhao Hui took the initiative to show his kindness to Tang Yin, while Yu Tao was forced to surrender when the troops approached the city. The two cannot be compared naturally. Now in order to deal with Ning's army, Tang Yin really will not
How about Yu Tao, but when the situation stabilizes, Tang Yin may not be able to tolerate him.
He didn't care about Yu Tao's life and death, but he hoped to use his words as a springboard to defect to Tang Yin. Zong Yuan now saw clearly that following Yu Tao, he would never have a big future in his life, but Tang Yin was not like that. If he wanted to
To get ahead and have a bright future, you have to help people like Tang Yin.
Yu Tao sent a general to contact the Pingyuan Army. Xiao Muqing met him in person. After hearing his purpose, Xiao Muqing was overjoyed. He was able to capture Huaiyang without any blood. This was of course the best. He said to the general: "
If Master Yu understands his carelessness and can submit to my master and fight against the traitor Zhong Tian together, I will definitely give you more kind words and not only guarantee that Master Yu’s life will be safe, but also allow him to continue to serve as the head of Jinguang County!"
When the general heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. After saying goodbye to Xiao Muqing, he hurried back to the city and conveyed Xiao Muqing's words to Yu Tao.
Yu Tao's heart finally dropped as he raised his throat. Without further delay, he had the city gates opened to welcome the Tianyuan Army into the city.
The Pingyuan army led by Xiao Muqing came with great force and was prepared for a tough battle. Unexpectedly, they easily captured Huaiyang without firing an arrow or injuring a single soldier.
While receiving a grand welcome from Yu Tao, Xiao Muqing was not overwhelmed by the other party's praise. He knew very well that the decisive battle with Ning Army was about to begin in Jinhua City, and he had to rush back immediately. He did not dare to stay longer in Huaiyang.
, leaving one regiment of the Pingyuan Army to guard Huaiyang, he led the other nine regiments to set off immediately and return to Jinhua City.
When Lin left Huaiyang, Zongyuan came to see Xiao Muqing. After meeting Xiao Muqing, he explained his intention straight to the point and wanted to work under Tang Yin.
As the Tianyuan Army defeated the coalition forces of Zhong Tian and Ning Guo on the battlefield, Tang Yin's reputation grew bigger and bigger. People came to defect to him almost every day. Xiao Muqing didn't pay attention to Zong Yuan and just dealt with it casually.
With.
Seeing that he didn't take her seriously, Zong Yuan smiled and said confidently: "I have a good plan to defeat Ning. I wonder if General Xiao is interested in hearing it!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Muqing was stunned for a moment, then grinned. There were many people who came to join the Tianyuan Army, but none like Xiang Zongyuan was so loud. He was curious and amused, and asked: "You
