Tang Yin asked: "What are the strengths of those eight people?"
Ren Xiao said: "The order of disciples is actually the ranking of strength."
So that’s it. One of Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo ranked fifth, and the other ranked seventh. In this way, there are at least four more powerful people than the two of them. I heard Ren Xiao say before that the second disciple was Huangfu Yucheng. Tang Yin
He asked curiously: "Who is the chief disciple of Huangfu Xiutai?"
Ren smiled and said: "Chang Feng."
"Very powerful?"
"Well... you can put it that way." Ren Xiao answered ambiguously.
Tang Yin was amused and asked with a smile: "Why is Brother Ren so uncertain?"
Ren Xiao said: "Chang Feng was indeed very powerful in the past, and his strength was definitely ranked first among his peers. However, later in a competition, his eyes were severely injured, and they have not been cured. He has rarely appeared in public these years and has been out of the world."
I have been isolated, and I have basically never heard any news about him. As for his current strength, I am not very clear about it."
"It turns out he is a blind man." That was nothing to worry about. Tang Yin nodded with a smile. Looking at it now, among the disciples of Huangfu Xiutai, the most powerful one was Huangfu Yucheng.
Thinking of this, he turned back and said to Yin Lan beside him: "Last time, Huangfu Yucheng failed to harm me. I don't think he will return to Shenchi easily. He must be lurking somewhere around our army. You, find a way to get there."
Find out."
Yin Lan nodded, and then said with embarrassment: "But I have never seen Huangfu Yucheng, and I don't know what he looks like."
"I will draw a portrait for you after the war." Through the memories of Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo, it is not difficult to grasp Huangfu Yucheng's appearance.
Let's talk about the battlefield ahead, the Feng Army has fully taken the initiative. The New Army broke into the Anjun camp, the Chinese army, Jiang Fan, and Qi Heng, who were attacking from the left and right, also broke in diagonally. The huge Anjun camp was now
Cut into several pieces by Feng Jun.
Faced with such a situation, Cui Tu couldn't be tough even if he wanted to. Seeing that his side was showing a tendency of overwhelming defeat and the situation was over, he had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat.
However, it was too late for the An army to retreat at this time. A large number of soldiers were divided and surrounded by the Feng army and could not retreat at all.
In the end, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 An troops who retreated with Cui Tu. The remaining more than 100,000 An troops either fled or were captured by the Feng army. This tough battle, which lasted more than half a month, was based on the strength of the An troops.
Ended in defeat.
The victory was expected, but the Feng Army also paid a heavy price. There were a large number of casualties among the direct army and the new army. In addition to Zhan Hu who was seriously injured in the early stage, Xiong Gu was also seriously injured and died due to the Feng Army.
Within the camp.
Xiong Gu's death in battle was a big blow to the new army. At this point, Liu Zhang's group of Lingwu Academy students had lost two people, and now only Liu Zhang, Bai An, Yan Yan, and Xu You were left.
People, and Xu Youye has begun to think about quitting, and the only ones who can really stay are Liu, Bai, and Yan.
In any case, in the next step of this battle, Feng Jun directly faced the Pinghu and Taifeng counties of Anguo. At this time, the Anguo court sent 200,000 Anjun troops headed by Bai Qing to assist Cui Tu.
He wanted to reunite with Cui Tubing, regroup, and then fight to the death with Feng Jun.
However, before Bai Qing could join up with the remnants of Cui Tu, the Pingyuan Army and the Tianying Army had invaded Anguo territory from Huandi. The panicked Anguo court temporarily changed its tactics and sent Bai Qing west to resist the Pingyuan Army and the Tianying Army.
As for Cui Tu, Li De was sent to lead an army of 100,000 reinforcements.
From the deployment of troops and generals in Anguo, we can also see the haste of the Anguo court and the dilemma that Anguo currently has no generals available.
Cui Tu and Li De were both defeated by Feng Army. Needless to say, Cui Tu had just suffered a huge defeat, while Li De's record against Feng Army was even worse. When Chuan Zhen attacked Feng Zhi,
At that time, he led an army of 200,000 to attack the Feng Kingdom. As a result, they were blocked by the Feng Army before they reached the territory of the Feng Kingdom. The battle was completely defeated. Even he himself was captured, leaving these two men to resist the Feng Army led by Tang Yin.
Army, how could it be possible to succeed?
As for Bai Qing, she has never been hostile to Feng Jun. She has always fought side by side with Feng Jun. Privately, she has a good relationship with Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, Nie Ze and other commanders of Feng Jun, so she can stop them.
The Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army were simply trying to beat a dog with meat buns, and one can imagine the result.
Tang Yin followed the direct army, the Ninth Army, and the New Army into Taifeng County. This place is different from Tiantu County. The whole county is flat, with no mountains and no water, and it is all plains.
According to the reports from Tianyan and Diwang, the An army has deployed heavy troops in the area of Fucheng, the county seat of Taifeng County, with a strength of no less than 200,000, led by Cui Tu and Li De.
After reading this information, Tang Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing. If Anguo replaced an unknown person as the commander, he might still be wary and let Cui Tu and Li De take the role. Wouldn't this be waiting for death?
Tang Yin paid no attention to these two men and urged the Feng Army to march at full speed. Under his supervision, the Feng Army marched very fast. In just six days after entering Taifeng County, they captured Dazhong, Fengtai, and Lixin San.
City, the wind army that marched straight into the city has been blessed.
After capturing Lixin, Tang Yin ordered the entire army to temporarily rest and recuperate, so that Fucheng could fight another decisive battle with the An army. Qi Heng, who had never been able to use his force, took the initiative to propose to Tang Yin that the Ninth Army did not need to rest and could continue to move south.
, first explore the reality of Fucheng.
Tang Yin knew that Qi Heng had been feeling sulky in his heart during this period, and now that he had finally reached a place where the cavalry could gallop to their heart's content, he certainly did not want to wait any longer. Tang Yin did not reject Qi Heng's request and agreed that he would lead the way.
The Ninth Army went south first.
Qi Heng was overjoyed and led the Ninth Army to stay in Lixin for only one night. Early the next morning, he led the entire army out of Fengjun Camp and headed straight for Fucheng.
Taifeng County already belongs to the hinterland of Anguo. The reason why it is like this here is firstly related to the gentle policy implemented by the Fengjun in Andi. The Fengjun only sent a small group of soldiers to the towns it captured and did not attack the people in the city.
No killing, no robbing, no seizing, both parties will be in peace.
Secondly, Anren's personality is that he loves comfort and pleasure, and has a weak concept of the country. As long as his life is not bad and his life is the same as before, it doesn't matter who captures the city.
It is precisely because of An Ren's personality that there is almost no resistance in An Di occupied by the Feng Army. The Feng Army is more assured of An Ren, and at the same time is more confident and bold in implementing a soft policy. This is a benign thing.
cycle.
As usual, not long after the capture of Lixin City, Tang Yin immediately ordered people to post notices throughout the city. He first listed Yue Ze's faults, scolded Yue Ze, and then stated that he was the emperor's division and was under the emperor's order to conquer, etc.
Speech that calms the hearts of the people.
Nowadays, the people of Anguo are generally disappointed with Yueze. Yueze has always been weak to the outside world, but people hope that a strong power will emerge. Secondly, Yueze's father's behavior of robbing his son and wife is too excessive, which is also unacceptable to the people of An.
For many people in Anguo, they did not reject the idea of Tang Yin replacing Yue Ze and respecting Tang Yin as king.
On this day, Tang Yin had just gotten up and was practicing boxing in the courtyard of the city lord's palace. Ah San walked over quickly, holding a small bamboo tube in his hand. While handing it to Tang Yin, he whispered: "Your Majesty, the divine pool is here
Mr. Ren’s reply has arrived.”
"Oh?" Tang Yin stopped, first took the hand towel sent by Yin Lan, wiped the sweat on his face, and then took the small bamboo tube.
He lowered his head and took a closer look. This small bamboo tube was very delicate. It was also engraved with the unique totem of Shenchi, but the lid was sealed with wax.
Ah San said: "The letter was delivered to Fenshui City by flying pigeons, and then sent by the brothers on the other side of Fenshui City. Your Majesty, look..."
Tang Yin rubbed his chin and murmured while thinking back: "Yes, Ren Xiao did send a letter to Shenchi when he was in Fenshui City, to report to Guanghan about my assassination, and to take the witch back to confront Huangfu Xiutai.
So, this reply should have been dictated by Guanghan."
"It should be, Your Majesty." Ah San said seriously.
"Humph!" Tang Yin chuckled and said, "I really want to know what is written in the book this time..."
While he was talking, he lightly scratched the bamboo tube with his finger and directly opened the wax seal. Then, he opened the lid and poured out the small paper rolled into a ball inside.
Ah San and Ah Si grinned as they watched. Even though he knew it was the reply from Lord Shenchi, the king dared to open it privately. He must have been too courageous!
Tang Yin unfolded the note unhurriedly, looked down at it, then sneered, handed the note to Ah San, and said, "You should take a look at it too!"
Ah San swallowed his saliva, "This is... a reply written by Elder Wuji!" Ah San said in surprise.
"Guanghan heard that he was in retreat at the right time. He didn't retreat early or late. He just happened to retreat when the world was in chaos, and it lasted three years. How much he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" Tang Yin sneered.
He said.
Ah San carefully rerolled the note, stuffed it back into the bamboo tube, and asked: "Your Majesty, then... do you want to give this reply to Mr. Ren?"
"Give it to him!"
"But... it has been taken apart..." Ah San said with a look on his face.
"Just tell the truth. I think he can understand my approach." Ren Xiao is a smart man. Rather than finding lies to deceive him, it is better to be honest.
