Chapter 437
Tang Yin listened to Xiao Muqing's strategy, stood still, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements, as long as the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army arrived, the total strength of his side would be close to 500,000, and then attack Zhangyu City, and it would be easy to win.
Xiao Muqing calculated very well, but the world was impermanent, and an unexpected incident completely disrupted Tang Yin's deployment.
According to reports from Tianyan and Earth.com, the 200,000-strong army of Mozambique has begun to assemble on the border between the two countries, and it is possible to send troops to attack Baguan at any time.
Baguan is the south gate of the wind country, its important surname is equivalent to Tongmen, in any case, Baguan can not appear any dispersion, and now the defenders of Baguan are only more than 30,000 people, how can they resist the Mo army of 200,000 people, Tang Yin was forced to be helpless, so that Lotte had to send an order to the Sanshui Army, so that Liang Qi commanded all the Sanshui Army to stop marching to Zhangyu, and immediately withdraw from Gaochuan County, and go south to quickly reinforce Baguan, in addition, and then to the commander of the Chifeng Army, Peng Haochu, let him temporarily stationed near Lishan City, if Baguan really starts a war, you can turn around and help as soon as possibleγ
He passed on two successive military orders, although he could temporarily alleviate the danger of Baguan, but the reinforcements he was counting on on his side also disappeared, and at this time, he could only attack Zhangyu alone with the current more than 100,000 troops.
For such a situation, Tang Yin was of course very depressed, he took such a big risk to sneak into Mozambique, just to prevent the Mozambican State from moving troops against the Wind Country at a critical moment, and what was he afraid of, Mozambique now seems to really have the intention of sending troops to war, so all the efforts he made and the heavy money he invested at the beginning were all in vain?
After thinking about it, Tang Yin asked Lotte to send a message to the Tianyan spy lurking in the Mozambican capital Chengjiang in the form of a flying pigeon, asking him to go and meet Shao Fang and ask him why he didn't stop the Mozambican court from using troops against the wind.
Now, the Mozambican court is also debating whether to deal with the use of troops against the wind.
The letter of salvation issued by Zhan Wushuang has been passed to the hands of Yan Chu, the monarch of Ning State, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu are both generals of Ning State, and they are also Yan Chu's right-hand man, of course, the latter will not see death without saving, Yan Chu according to the meaning of Zhan Wushuang, issued an order to the officials of Ning State in Mozambique, ordering him to immediately visit the monarch of Mozambique, and asked Shao Ting to send troops to attack Baguan to assist Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Invincible brothers to get out of trouble, and Yan Chu also made a heavy promise that as long as Mo Guo is willing to rescue the Zhan brothers, Ning Guo is willing to give ten thousand taels of gold and let five cities. This condition can be generous enough, and it can also be seen that Yan Zhi has made a bloody investment to protect the invincible and invincible.
After Shao Ting read Yan Chu's handwritten letter forwarded by the historian of Ningguo, he was also very moved, he didn't care about the gold taels, it was nothing in terms of Mozambique's national strength, but Ningguo's willingness to give up five cities This condition is too tempting, the border between Ningmo and Mozambique is a plain area, the land is vast and densely populated, the grain production is abundant, and the commerce is developed, Ningguo ceded the five cities, which is equivalent to letting the territory of Mozambique expand outward for dozens of miles, and there will be dozens of miles of fertile land out of thin air, and the national strength of Mozambique will also be greatly improved.
Shao Ting was moved by Yan Chu's proposal, and almost without any consideration, he agreed to the matter, patting his chest and guaranteeing that Mo Guo would definitely send troops to dominate the pass, and even invade the territory of the Feng Country to help the Zhan brothers break out of the encirclement of the Feng Army.
Seeing that Shao Ting agreed simply, the historian of Ningguo thanked him again and again, and left satisfied, and the next morning in the court, Shao Ting explained the matter in the royal court, and the ministers of the court and the central government were all surprised when they heard this.
After people came back to their senses, they all shook their heads secretly, no matter whether Shao Ting's decision was right or wrong, such a big matter, without even discussing it with the ministers, directly accepted Ning Guo's request, which was really too rash.
However, Taifu Zhang Rong was very happy, he has always been close to Ning Guo, and after Shao Ting finished speaking, Zhang Rong was the first to stand up and make a statement, bowed to Shao Ting and fell to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "The king is wise, accept Ning Guo's request, not only let me add five cities, but also send troops to the wind country, and I can also take the opportunity to seize the hegemony pass, with the hegemony pass in hand, I will be invincible against the wind country again, and the king can sit back and relax!" Seeing that Zhang Rong had stood up to express his position, the ministers who were close to Zhang Rong also came out one after another, bowed their hands, and even called Shao Ting wise.
Seeing this, Shao Ting couldn't help but look up and laugh.
He had just laughed twice when he heard one of the ministers crying. Shao Ting and the ministers were all stunned, and they didn't know who was so short-sighted and crying at this time. People searched for prestige, but they saw that it was none other than Dong Sheng, the right prime minister, who was crying.
If it were someone else, Shao Ting would have been angry at this time, even if he didn't punish him, he would have to be expelled from the hall, but the person who cried was Dong Sheng, the anger in Shao Ting's heart disappeared, and he was replaced by puzzlement, he poked his head and asked, "Dong Aiqing, ...... What are you crying about?!" It was better for him not to speak, this said, Dong Sheng took two steps forward, sat on the platform in front of the throne, and cried louder, and cried with a hammer chest, so as not to be sad. Zhang Rong watched from the sidelines, the roots of his ruthless teeth were itching, what is this Dong Sheng pretending to be crazy, what is he selling?
He took a deep breath and said to Shao Ting: "King, Dong Sheng is rude, above the court, he openly makes trouble, and he should be punished!" Shao Ting is very trusting and dependent on Dong Sheng, he sighed, stood up, walked to Dong Sheng, pulled him up, and asked, "What is Dong Aiqing crying about?" At this time, Dong Sheng wiped the eyeballs from the corners of his eyes, and said quietly: "I am crying for the king, crying for my Mo country!" "How do you say this?" The king, the ambition of the wolf son of Ning Guo is known to the whole world, today it will send us five cities, and tomorrow it will snatch fifty cities from us, if the king accepts Ning Guo's request and helps Ning Guo, then it will be us who will suffer, King Shengming, we must not investigate, we must not take precautions, and we must not worry......!" After hearing Dong Sheng's words, Shao Ting's original excited mood immediately fell to the bottom, and his face also showed a solemn look.
"Hmph!" At this time, Zhang Rong snorted heavily and said: "Don't listen to Dong Sheng's nonsense, alarmist, Ning Guo and I Da Mo are clothed in water, and they have always been good brothers, how can they be enemies of my Da Mo......" Before his words fell, Dong Sheng had already interrupted loudly: " My Da Mo's merchants have traveled all over the world, only in Ningguo has been expelled; Xia Mall, the place where my Da Mo has been peeped by generations of kings, every time I want to send troops to annex it, it will end up because of Ning Guo's obstruction, what kind of brotherly state is Ningguo, Lord Zhang will not be blinded by Ning Guo's money, right?" The location of the lower mall is very interesting, between the three kingdoms of Feng, Ning and Mo, it stands to reason that the small city-states of this kind of projectile land will not survive long under the surround of the three great powers, but the lower mall has existed for hundreds of years, not because the lower mall has many generals and no one dares to invade, but because the harsh environment has created the tradition of the lower mall being good at diplomacy.
The place bordering the Wind Country is the barren land of the Wind Country, and the Wind Country basically has little to do with it, it is mainly between Ning and Mo, when the Ning State wants to send troops to it, it is close to the Mo State, and when the Mo Country wants to send troops to it, it takes the initiative to take refuge in the Ning State, swaying, and its historian can also speak well, and has resolved the crisis again and again for the Lower Mall, and the Lower Mall has miraculously survived for hundreds of years in the case of its own weakness and being surrounded by strong countries.
At this time, Dong Sheng proposed to go down to the mall, which made Shao Ting inhale secretly, his brows gradually furrowed, and his eyes drifted to Zhang Rong from time to time.
Zhang Rong is also an old minister, who has been working by Shao Ting's side for many years, and knows Shao Ting's surname well. His heart was shocked, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The king clearly sees that the old minister has never received one gold and one silver from Ning Guo, the king will check it!" "Hehe!" Dong Sheng chuckled lightly and said, "If Lord Zhang has a clear conscience, he doesn't need to be so nervous!" After a pause, he turned his eyes to Shao Fang, signaling that he should stand up and say something at this time.
Shao Fang understood, and he stepped forward and said: "Father, the son agrees with Dong Xiang's statement, it is not a wise move to use troops against the wind now. "Oh?" I didn't expect Shao Fang to say the same, but Shao Ting was interested and wanted to know what he had to say. He smiled leisurely and said, "Fang'er, tell me, why shouldn't we use troops against the wind?" Shao Fang took a deep breath, looked around at the ministers present, and said: "In the opinion of the ministers, Ning Guo asked his father to send troops, and it was only a small reason to save Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wusui to get out of trouble, and there was a more important reason that it was not explained. "What is it?" "Drag our country into the water." As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and they all looked at Shao Fang with incredible eyes, including Shao Ting.
Shao Fang continued: "Father, the current situation in the Wind Country seems to be chaotic, but in fact, the strength of the Wind Country is still strong, especially the combat power of the Wind Army, which is even stronger than that of the Zhanhua period, and the 400,000 Ning troops led by the Battle Peerless and Invincible entered the Wind Land and were all wiped out by the Wind Army. Even if we can win in the end, our national strength will be greatly damaged, and its loss will not be replaced by just five cities. Moreover, in the eyes of the sons, the wind country has the purpose of containing the Ning country, the more fierce and fierce the fight between the two countries in the wind and Ning, and the greater the mutual consumption, the more beneficial it will be to our country, and our country should sit on the shore and watch the fire, instead of taking the initiative to intervene and fall into it, and hope that my father will think twice!"
Dong Sheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, the mind of the Second Highness is really shrewd, far from being comparable to the Third Highness Shao Bo, he really didn't misunderstand him at the beginning.
