Chapter 522 Qiu Zhen and the others looked at each other and asked in unison, "What does the king mean?"
"Retake the Hedong region," Tang Yin said in a decisive manner.
At present, it is approaching the autumn harvest season, and the crops in the Hedong area are almost ready, and Tang Yin is salivating over them.
The main reason why he was in a hurry to seize the Hedong region was to create favorable conditions for his troops.
He couldn't bear to let Yin Rouxia marry Li Dan, the prince of Zhenguo, but he also understood that if he wanted to stop this political marriage that had already been arranged, he could only use the means of force, with the current strength of the Wind Country, let alone the use of force, it would not even play a deterrent role, and if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to increase the army on a large scale, and the grain output of the Wind Country could support an army of 1.2 million at most, but if he got the Hedong region, the strength of the army could be expanded to nearly two million, and with such an army, he could drive straight into Shangjing, Even if Yin Rou is snatched out, it is not impossible.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said, "Before the autumn harvest, I will take the Hedong land no matter what, Qiu Zhen, you discuss it with the generals, first formulate an offensive strategy, and show it to me." ” Hearing this, Qiu Zhen and the other ministers and generals all frowned.
It is not easy to conquer the Hedong region, you must know that Ning Guo also regards the Hedong region as a treasure, once you send troops, Ning Guo will definitely pour the strength of the whole country to fight with your own side, and the war can not be ended in two or three months What's more, now that Tang Yin has just taken the position of the Wind King, the foundation is not stable, and the empty national strength of the Wind Country has not been restored, so it is unwise to start a national war with Ning State at this time.
Qiu Zhen didn't answer for a long time, just as Tang Yin raised his eyebrows dissatisfied, Zhang Zhe stepped out of the ranks, bowed his hand and said: "King, in the opinion of Weichen, it is not appropriate to move troops now More than two years ago, I sent 200,000 troops into the Hedong region with a strong wind, but I was surrounded by the Ning Legion, and the whole army was annihilated.
Tang Yin couldn't listen to the persuasion at this time, he squinted his eyes, stared at Zhang Zhe, and said in a flat tone: "Lord Zhang, don't grow the enemy's prestige and destroy the morale of our army."
If Tang Yin calls Zhang Zhe by his first name, it means that he is not angry, and calling Zhang Zhe Lord Zhang is really angry.
He said proudly: "How about the battle and the invincible, the elite of the 400,000 Ning Kingdom, who have not been completely annihilated by our army, this time I must go out of Tongmen and seize Hedong" "King" Zhang Zhe Zhengse said: "The reason why the king was able to defeat the Zhan brothers before was not because our army was stronger than the other party, but because the Ning army traveled a long distance and fought in different places, the army was exhausted, and it was unpopular with the people, and the grain and grass armaments were not good from time to time, so it led to a fiasco.
"Smack" As soon as Zhang Zhe's words fell, Tang Yin had already slapped the table, stood up, looked directly at Zhang Zhe below with his shining eyes, and said quietly: "Lord Zhang thinks that our army will definitely be defeated when it goes to Hedong."
"That's right" is a matter of the life and death of the country, at the critical moment, Zhang Zhe did not let it at all, he looked at Tang Yin without fear, and said: "My country's national strength is not as good as Ningguo, and the military strength is not as good as Ningguo. ” After hearing this, Tang Yin's anger had soared into the sky, and he couldn't wait to turn over the table, jump below and strangle Zhang Zhe to death.
However, Tang Yin's tolerance for his own people was also very strong, and he took a few deep breaths and slowly suppressed his anger again.
At this time, everyone present pinched a cold sweat for Zhang Zhe, and as soon as the king announced the edict conferring everyone, Zhang Zhe made a contradiction, even if what he said was reasonable, but it didn't seem appropriate.
Seeing Tang Yin standing in front of the throne, staring at Zhang Zhe for a long time, the hall was also silent, silent, and people could even hear their heartbeats.
At this moment, Zong Yuan walked out, smiled, and said, "The king wants to send troops to Hedong, but the minister thinks it is feasible. ” Zong Yuan's words made Tang Yin's anger in his heart reduce a lot, and his eyes finally moved away from Zhang Zhe's body, looked at Zong Yuan, and then slowly sat down, raised his head and said, "Zong Yuan, you talk about it" Zhang Zhe's brows were tightly locked, in normal times, it was nothing for Zong Yuan to speak according to Tang Yin's meaning, but now it is different, sending troops to Hedong and fighting against Ning is related to the survival of the Wind Country, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can he blindly cater to him and remind him: "As an important minister in the court, Master Zong should be cautious when speaking."
Zong Yuan smiled, but didn't say anything, while Tang Yin raised his eyebrows dissatisfiedly and said, "Zhang Zhe, I didn't ask you, you step back first." ” No matter how tough Zhang Zhe's attitude is, Tang Yin must be the monarch, and he does not dare to disobey Tang Yin's orders.
Zhang Zhe lowered his head and silently retreated to his original position.
After he retreated, Zong Yuan smiled slightly, arched his hand at Zhang Zhe, and then said to Tang Yin: "Our army has four points to win against the Ning army.
First, in terms of morale, our army has an advantage, the 400,000 Ning army and the Zhan brothers were completely annihilated by our army, our army went to war, it was to take advantage of the victory to attack, and the Ning army was forced to face the battle, psychologically, our army has already won the battle.
Secondly, although the strength of the Ning army is numerous, claiming to be more than one million, its military strength is not strong, and the 400,000 elites have been completely lost, and it is impossible for the new recruits to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time and do a head-to-head confrontation.
Again, our army and the Ning army have fought countless small battles, the soldiers have long been familiar with the surname and characteristics of the Ning army, even if the Ning army has a world-famous arrow array to rely on, our army is not afraid at all, and there is a way to crack, on the other hand, the Ning army is not familiar with the combat characteristics of our army, the king often said that knowing oneself and knowing the other, can not be defeated in a hundred battles, I know the enemy, and the enemy does not know me, how can there be no reason to win Finally, our army went to Hedong, and it was not a long-distance battle, you must know that there are also a lot of wind people living in the Hedong area, they are quite oppressed by the Ning people, and they naturally have resentment towards the Ning people, and our army will definitely be supported by the local wind people when they go to Hedong, which is very beneficial to our army.
The above four points are the way for our army to defeat the enemy."
After Zong Yuan said this, the blood of the generals present boiled, they rubbed their fists and palms, and they were eager to try, and their spirits were raised.
Tang Yin also nodded again and again, this is the opinion he wants to hear, and the opinion he is willing to hear.
He turned his eyes to the generals on the left and asked, "What do you think of Zong Yuan's analysis?"
"What Master Zong said is extremely true, and the analysis is also comprehensive, our army is at war with Ning, and the advantages are indeed greater than the disadvantages" Without waiting for others to speak, Xiao Muqing had already preemptively said: "In addition, it was Ning who was unjust to our country first, sending troops to invade and harm my monarch, and now our army is sending troops to fight back, to avenge the former king, and in terms of morality, our army has taken the lead, and is not afraid of being blamed by other countries" "En" Tang Yin nodded again, this is another good excuse to send troops.
"The king, the last general is willing to be the front army, go out of Tongmen, and kill Ning thief" Shangguan Yuan asked for a robe, walked out of the train, knelt on one knee, and intervened.
Seeing that Shangguan Yuanrang had taken the initiative to ask for battle, Wu Guang, Jiang Fan, and Zhan Hu, who were as famous as him, also came out together, and asked Ying to fight.
The matter of sending troops to the Hedong region has not yet been completely finalized, and there is not even a plan for the battle, but the generals have already rushed out to express their willingness to take the lead.
Seeing that everyone was so full of energy, Tang Yin was naturally very happy, he first waved his hand at Guan Yuanrang and other generals, signaling them to get up first, then turned his head, looked at Zhang Zhe, and asked: "Zhang Zhe, do you still think that our army is not suitable to go to Hedong?"
No matter how dissatisfied Zhang Zhe's remarks were, Tang Yin still wanted to hear his opinion.
When Zhang Zhe heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, Zong Yuan's words were rejoicing, which seemed reasonable, but most of them were empty words, war is not child's play, if you are not completely sure, how can you easily launch it, not to mention that this is still a national war related to life and death He looked at Tang Yin, and then at the various emotional generals, sighed lightly, and said, "Weichen still feels that it is too risky to fight now."
Shangguan Yuan gave Zhang Zhe a blank look and said, "I think it's Master Zhang, you are too cautious and timid."
Tang Yin waved his hand to Shangguan Yuanrang at this time, signaling that he didn't need to say much, he pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Zhe, if the Ning army is allowed to fight on two fronts, what do you think our army's chances of victory will be?"
After he finished speaking, not to mention that Zhang Zhe was stunned, the others were also surprised, how could the Ning army fight on two fronts and there was no alliance between his side and the surrounding countries, who would assist his side to attack Ning Country together Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Tang Yin smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that when I went to Duki to borrow the road, I had reached an agreement with King Duki Alden Allenridge, and one day I said that I Gale and Duki will join forces to use troops against Ning, Duki will attack from the north, and I will attack from the east, so that Ning Guo can't take care of each other, and now is the right time." ” Hearing Tang Yin say this, everyone finally remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but no one had mentioned it for too long, and everyone had almost forgotten about it.
Qiu Zhen was stunned for a moment, his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked: "King, after so long, can Du Ji still abide by the original agreement?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "They will."
Alden Allenridge's snooping on Tia is more than our desire for Hedong, but if Ning Guo is not defeated, Dookie will not be able to move Tia at all, so they will definitely join forces with us. ” Qiu Zhen nodded, feeling that Tang Yin's analysis was reasonable, and he muttered: "If Du Ji uses troops against Ning in the north, our army's capture of the Hedong region will be twice the result with half the effort."
The others also nodded in agreement, but at this time, Zhang Zhe's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The king must not":
