Tang Yin felt that Qiu Zhen's opinion was reasonable, and was about to send someone to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, when Zhang Zhihong arrived.
Now the two armies of Feng and Ning have been in chaos in Liangzhou City. There are killings everywhere in the streets and alleys. The people of Ning State are too scared to go out, and the officials of Ning State dare not show their heads. Zhang Zhihong is different from others.
He thought he had something to rely on. He was the one who introduced the Feng Army into the city. If the Feng Army defeated the city, he should be the first to do so.
The main purpose of his coming to the palace to find Tang Yin was to help Tang Yin control the situation. He did not want Liangzhou to be in chaos, causing too many casualties and destroying too many buildings or facilities. After all, he was the future King of Xinning, and Ning Guo would have to
He will govern it. Now, Zhang Zhihong is considering the problem completely from the perspective of Prince Ning.
Hearing that Zhang Zhihong was coming, Tang Yin shook his head and smiled. Before he went to find him, he took the initiative to send him to his door. This was good, as it saved him trouble.
He ordered Zhang Zhihong to be brought in. It didn't take long before Zhang Zhihong walked in quickly from outside under the guidance of two Fengjun guards.
Entering the main hall, Zhang Zhihong saw Tang Yin sitting in the middle at a glance. He hurriedly straightened his clothes, moved forward, knelt down and kowtowed with great salute, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhihong, the right minister of the Ning Kingdom, pays homage to His Highness Feng Wang!"
Tang Yin sat there without moving, just smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Please get up, Prime Minister Zhang!"
"Thank you, Your Highness King Feng!" Zhang Zhihong stood up, then raised his eyes and looked directly at Tang Yin, or in other words, directly at the throne he was sitting on.
Tang Yin was so smart that he couldn't tell what he was thinking. He laughed secretly in his heart, but deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "Prime Minister Zhang came to the palace late at night to see this king. What's the purpose?"
He didn't mention the matter of inheriting the throne, so Zhang Zhihong couldn't take the initiative to ask. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhihong asked cautiously: "Your Highness, King Feng, when I entered the palace just now, I saw a severed head hanging outside the palace door.
That is……"
"That's the severed head of the traitor Yan Chu." Tang Yin said lightly.
Ah? Yan Chu is dead? Zhang Zhihong took a breath, feeling horrified, happy and a little sad at the same time. He couldn't tell what it felt like. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and rolled his eyes.
Said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang, since Yan Chu is dead, the fighting in the city should be stopped immediately."
Tang Yin shrugged and said: "I no longer want the battle to continue, but Ning Jun refuses to surrender, so I have nothing to do!"
Zhang Zhihong said: "The king can take the military talisman and order the Ning army to cease the war!"
Tang Yin turned his eyes and glanced at Qiu Zhen. Zhang Zhihong thought of going together with him. He nodded and said, "I have sent someone to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to ask Gao Dan to hand over the military talisman."
Zhang Zhihong secretly frowned. Gao Dan was his political opponent and one of the most prestigious dignitaries in the Ning Kingdom. If this person does not die, his throne as King Ning will definitely be unstable. He said seriously: "Gao Dan has always been loyal to Yan Chu.
, Now that Yan Chu is dead, Gao Dan will definitely resist stubbornly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over half of the military talisman on his own initiative. He can only hand it over with strong methods."
Tang Yin responded and then asked: "Gao Dan only has half a soldier talisman in his hand?"
Zhang Zhihong said: "Yes, the other half is in the hands of the king... no, it is in the hands of Yan Chu."
Tang Yin looked questioningly at the Shangguan brothers and Asan and Asi on the left and right.
Shangguan Yuanwu said: "Your Majesty, no military talismans or other objects were found on Yan Chu's body."
Before Tang Yin could speak, Zhang Zhihong continued: "That must be in the study."
Tang Yin blinked and said: "Yuan Wu, Yuan Biao, go search in the study. No matter what, we must find half of the soldier talisman."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The Shangguan brothers agreed and left quickly.
Zhang Zhihong's guess was indeed correct. The Shangguan brothers arrived at Yan Chu's study and found half of the military talisman without much effort.
But it is not that easy for Feng Jun to go to Zuo Xiangfu.
Gao Dan did not run away, and a large number of Ning generals gathered in the palace, including General Ming Xiaotian, Lieutenant General Jin Huan, Shen Fang and other senior generals of the Ning Kingdom. They knew that Feng Jun had breached the palace, but they did not know that Yan Chu was already dead, and they gathered in Zuo Xiang's Mansion, still discussing how to enter the palace and rescue the king.
As a result, before they could come up with a countermeasure, the Feng Army led by Cheng Jin, Nan Ye, Li Sheng and others came in force.
At this time, there were many Ning troops gathered outside Zuo Xiang's Mansion, thousands of them. After the two sides met, they immediately fought to the death without saying a word.
The soldiers on the Feng Army's side were mainly from the New Army, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. However, Cheng Jin's hidden arrow personnel were mixed in, which posed a great threat to the Ning Army.
The fighting between the two sides did not last long, and Ning's army, which was outnumbered and outnumbered, began to be unable to resist, and they were defeated in the Zuo Xiang's mansion.
Seeing that the enemies had retreated into the mansion, Feng's army surrounded Zuo Xiang's mansion and shouted inside, asking Gao Dan to come out and surrender.
After shouting for a while, there was movement in the mansion. Gao Dan was helped up the ladder, holding his hand on the courtyard wall, and shouted loudly outside: "Ask your general to come out and speak!"
Nan Ye, Li Sheng and others were nearby. When they heard the shouting of the senior officer, everyone looked at each other, but no one came forward. Finally, all eyes fell on Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin had a low military rank, but a high status and seniority. If he is placed there, all the generals will naturally respect him as the leader.
Cheng Jin smiled and said to Nanye: "You are the commander-in-chief, so you should go and talk to the other party."
Nanye gave a few more words of humility. Seeing Cheng Jin's firm attitude, he stopped refusing and walked out of the crowd and shouted: "I am Nanye, Lieutenant General of Feng Kingdom. Who are you?"
Gao Dan stared at Nanye for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "I'm the left prime minister, Gao Dan!"
"Oh! So you are Prime Minister Gao! It's you we are looking for." Nanye smiled, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister Gao, as long as you hand over the military talisman, we will not do anything wrong until autumn, and we will keep you safe. If not, hehe..." He I didn't finish the sentence on purpose, but the meaning was already obvious.
Gao Dan secretly gritted his teeth and said: "You can ask me to hand over the military talisman, but you must let my king go!"
Nanye was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at the generals, then burst into laughter, shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, I can't give it back to you as your king."
"how?"
"Now Yan Chu's head is hanging outside the palace gate. If I want to return it to you, I'm afraid I can only return your headless body."
"What are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, the old man's head buzzed, his body leaned back and he almost fell off the ladder.
Ming Xiaotian and others standing in the courtyard also heard what Nan Ye said. People were shocked for a while and couldn't recover for a long time.
After a brief silence, Ming Xiaotian let out a strange cry and shouted to the left and right: "Don't listen to the wind thief's nonsense, brothers, shoot your arrows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ning soldiers who were hiding behind the courtyard wall stood up one after another, strung their arrows, and started firing volleys at the Feng army outside the city.
Nan Ye, who was standing in front of the crowd, was the first to bear the brunt. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and had deep cultivation, so he put on his spiritual armor in time, otherwise he would have been shot into a hedgehog on the spot.
Even so, Nanye was still shot down from his horse by the opponent's arrow array. He was fine, but his horse was shot into a hornet's nest by random arrows.
Nanye was furious and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Attack the entire army and kill all the rebels inside!"
As the commander-in-chief of the new army, Nanye was in contact with Ning people all the time. When speaking, he no longer used the sensitive word "Ning thief" but instead used the word "treason thief".
Although the officers and soldiers of the New Army were all from Ning, they also respected the highly respected Left Prime Minister Gao Dan, but in the army, they had to act according to military orders, regardless of whether the orders were in line with their wishes. In addition, Nanye also treated the officers and soldiers under his command.
It's really good, everyone is treated equally, and people are willing to follow his instructions.
Following Nanye's order, the new army launched a unified attack. How could a mere Zuoxiang's Mansion with thousands of defenders withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Feng troops? In a short time, Zuoxiang's Mansion had several places
Being broken through by Feng Jun, a large number of Feng Jun rushed into the courtyard from outside and started a close-quarters fight with Ning Jun.
Both sides are from Ning. If they are raised individually, there is no distinction between the level of force. At this time, whichever side has more people will have the advantage. The number of the Feng Army is several times or even ten times that of the Ning Army. Naturally, it will have the advantage.
Soon, the entire formation of Ning's army was overwhelmed by Feng's army, and the two sides started a chaotic melee in Zuo Xiang's Mansion.
Ming Xiaotian, Jin Huan, and Shen Fang, three Ningguo generals, protected Gao Dan and retreated to the lobby. At this time, the three generals' faces had turned extremely ugly. They looked at Gao Dan helplessly and said in a trembling voice: "Gao Dan
, the king has been killed by Feng Jun, Liangzhou has fallen, should we... we still surrender..."
Before they could finish speaking, Gao Dan was furious and shouted: "Your Majesty has been kind to us. Even if we are shattered to pieces, we cannot fully repay your kindness to Your Majesty. How can you surrender to the wind thief so easily?"
?”
Ming Xiaotian and the three of them blushed at what he said, and they all lowered their heads.
But the Feng Army outside could not be persuaded to retreat by a few words. On the battlefield, the number of Ning Army was getting smaller and smaller. Looking around, it was all dark and crowded with Feng Army. Many Ning Army were surrounded by Feng Army.
We can only give up resistance and surrender.
Fortunately, the opponents of the Ning army were the New Army, all from Ning. They were very polite to the surrendered Ning soldiers and did not kill them indiscriminately. They just controlled them and kept them under strict supervision.
The first person to break into the hall was the hidden arrow personnel. More than ten diners next to Gao Dan fell into a pool of blood under the attack of the secret arrow personnel. When Jin Huan saw this, he shouted, rushed over with his sword, and fought with the secret arrow personnel.
Fight to the end.
It is true that he is a military commander, and his spiritual power is very strong, but he cannot withstand the group attack of dozens of dark element spiritual masters.
After only a few rounds, Jin Huan was slashed all over by hidden arrows. His spiritual armor was in pieces, and he stood there, crumbling. Shen Fang had a close personal relationship with Jin Huan, and when he saw that he could not support himself, he shouted and also
Rushed forward.
But there was no way he could return, and he was tightly entangled by the secret assassins like a pack of wolves, making it difficult for him to escape.
