Chapter 604 Tang Yin frowned, looked at Ziying strangely, and smiled indifferently: "Ziying, what do you mean?"
Ziying took a deep breath and said: "King, now the casualties of our army are close to 200,000, and the soldiers have been exhausted for more than a month, in addition, most of the brothers in the army are not adapted to the climate of Hedong, there are countless sick people, and the combat power has been sharply reduced, and the Ning army is waiting for work in Hexi."
Before Ziying finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted: "Our army is tired, isn't the Ning army tired, don't forget, the command of the eldest grandson Yuanhong rushed to Liangzhou from the western part of Ningguo, and then rushed from Liangzhou to the east of Hedong, thousands of miles away, not easier than our army; Our army is not adapted to the climate of Hedong, and the contrast between the weather in the west of Ningguo and Hedong is even greater, is it possible for Ningjun to adapt I know that you are going to say that the Zhanghe River is going to be a water war, and our army will not fight a water war, but will the western army of Ningguo be a water war, and they will not be a layman, what are we afraid of?"
Ziying was robbed of her by Tang Yin, and she had no words to say, what Tang Yin said was exactly what he was worried about, but it can't be said that Tang Yin's analysis is unreasonable.
Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi glanced at each other again, grinning knowingly, it seems that the king has made up his mind to destroy Ning, and he will continue to move west At this time, Xiao Muqing took a step forward and said loudly: "King Shengming, now is the perfect time to destroy Ning, you must not miss it, our army should immediately rush to the Zhanghe River and prepare to cross the river to fight."
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then pointed at Xiao Muqing with his finger, and laughed.
Liang Qi and Ziying's noses were almost crooked, although the three of them did not talk in words, but they all understood each other's intentions, they were all against continuing to move westward, but seeing Tang Yin's resolute attitude, Xiao Muqing changed quickly, and immediately changed from opposition to support.
Xiao Muqing had already supported, and Liang Qi and Ziying didn't want to say anything more, the two of them bowed down and arched their hands, and said in unison: "Wang Yingming" With the approval of the three commanders, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying, the matter of destroying Ning has basically become a foregone conclusion.
Without waiting for everyone to discuss further, the door opened, and Shangguan Yuanwu walked closer, along with him, Wang Kai, the head of Hedong County, and Du Qing, the county lieutenant, as well as two subordinates carrying food and wine.
"Seeing that the king is healthy and unharmed, it is gratifying to congratulate, and Weichen is also relieved" Wang Kai and Du Qing walked quickly to Tang Yin, and both knelt on the ground to salute.
Tang Yin lowered his eyes and looked at the two, nodded, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, General Du, please get up" After a pause, he asked again: "Lord Wang, how is the situation in Hedong during this time?"
Wang Kai's face was straight, and he replied respectfully: "Everything is fine, the people's emotions have calmed down a lot, and the situation has gradually stabilized" No matter what he felt about Tang Yin in his heart, disgust or hatred, on the surface, he didn't dare to have the slightest neglect, after all, now that Hedong has been completely controlled by the Feng Army, Tang Yin can decide his life and death, and he can also decide the life and death of millions of people in Hedong.
Tang Yin patted Wang Kai's shoulder with a smile and said, "I have just taken over Hedong County with a strong wind, and the affairs must be complicated, and I still need a lot of hard work and hard work from Lord Wang." ” "The king is too polite, the minister is the head of the county, and he should do his best to share the king's worries and solve problems."
"Good.
That being said, I hope you can think the same in your heart.
The smile on Tang Yin's face was even thicker.
He was laughing, but in Wang Kai's eyes, he felt a chill in his heart.
Tang Yin is a smiling tiger, his smile often hangs on his face, but he is moody, and no one knows what evil thoughts are hidden under the surface of his smile.
"King, you're ready to eat."
Shangguan Yuanwu bowed and bowed, signaling the two subordinates to put the tray on the table, and the two were just about to leave, Yuanwu stopped them again, divided some of the wine and food, let the two taste it first, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, they were sent away, and then said to Tang Yin: "The king, please eat." ” Tang Yin nodded in response, walked to the table, first drank three cups of tea in a row, then picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ate a lot.
After eating two bites, seeing that everyone was standing aside and watching, he waved his chopsticks and said indistinctly: "Why are you standing and coming here to eat?"
As a minister, how can there be a reason to eat at the same table with the king, and it is not etiquette, everyone shook their heads one after another, and said in a loud voice: "King, we are not hungry" Among the people, Xiao Muqing knew Tang Yin the most, and he was the only one who was cheeky, walked to the table, and said, "King, I've eaten, but I'm a little thirsty, so I beg for two glasses of wine to drink."
Xiao Muqing knew that Tang Yin didn't pay attention to etiquette at all, and he didn't know very well about the strict hierarchical relationship between monarchs and ministers, if he only watched from the sidelines at this time, it would be too rusty, and if he came over to really eat and drink with Tang Yin, it seemed a little too much, and it was just right to drink a few glasses of wine with Tang Yin.
Sure enough, Tang Yin looked at him and smiled, pushed the wine jug in front of him nonchalantly, and muttered: "Drink if you want, what's polite" Swallowing the contents of his mouth, he asked: "Mu Qing, tell me, how are we going to fight next" Without waiting for Xiao Muqing to answer, Wang Kai's face suddenly changed, and he asked: "Isn't it necessary to fight the king to defeat Changsun Yuanhong and swallow the entire Hedong?"
"Hedong haha" Tang Yin smiled: "What I want now is not only Hedong, but a complete Ningguo."
I have discussed with you just now, and the next action of our army is to continue to advance westward, cross the Zhanghe River, and extinguish Ning."
Ah Wang Kai secretly took a breath, Tang Yin's ambition is so big, he is not satisfied with occupying such a big Hedong, and he even wants to annex the entire Ning Kingdom He pondered for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "When" Tang Yin picked up a piece of sauced beef, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The sooner the better, it's best to start the army immediately." ” "That's not quite right," Wang Kai said cautiously.
"What's wrong?"
"The officers and men of our army have many injuries and diseases, especially the hot and humid Hedong, the soldiers come from the dry and windy country, and they are infected with poisonous sores on their bodies, and their skin is very badly ulcerated, and five out of ten formations have been injured and sick, and the officers and men in the army are also exhausted, if we march now, I am afraid that the battle situation will be unfavorable to our army."
Wang Kai pretended to analyze calmly.
After Tang Yin heard this, he suddenly felt tasteless in his mouth, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, drank a cup of tea silently, and then looked up at Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue, and asked them if this was indeed the case.
Xiao Muqing and the four of them looked embarrassed and nodded slowly.
After looking at it, Tang Yin knew that what Wang Kai said was true, if this was the case, the whole army really needed to take a good rest.
He rolled his eyes and said casually: "Lord Wang, you know the situation of our army very well."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Wang Kai is excited to fight a cold war, you must know that under the system of the Wind Country, the county head is not in contact with the army, and the situation in the army has nothing to do with the county head, and now when Tang Yin asks like this, Wang Kai is really a little caught off guard.
However, he reacted quickly, and immediately said: "The medicine needed in the army has to be bought by the county with silver taels, but the amount is huge, and Weichen doesn't know that there will be people who will fill their pockets from it, and they will go to the army to check, so they also know some about the situation in the army." ” When he said this, it was impossible to find fault with it.
Tang Yin nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "How about our army temporarily rest in Qingyuan for three days?"
Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue hurriedly responded: "This is the best."
"Not to mention taking a break for three days, even if you take a break for three months, it would be great if you could take a break for a year and a half.
Seeing that none of the four of him objected, Tang Yin picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, continued to eat in a big gulp, and said: "Then rest for three days, but there are some things to prepare, since the eldest grandson Yuanhong retreated to the west of the river, the boats on the east bank must have also been robbed by him, our army wants to investigate along the river, borrow boats from the people who have boats at home, and also, we also have to build rafts ourselves, the more the better." ” "The End Will Understand" Xiao Muqing and the four of them answered in unison.
Tang Yin said uncomfortably while eating: "Water warfare is not our army's specialty, and it is not easy to fight, we need to recruit water troops on the spot, as long as they have a good surname Shui, or know how to fight water warfare, whether they are Fengren or Ning people, they will all be recruited into the army."
There can be more silver taels for the army, and under the heavy reward, there will be brave men."
Xiao Muqing's spirit was shocked after hearing this, and he arched his hand and said: "The king sees that tomorrow is not the same, today I will rush to the side of the Zhanghe River to recruit a navy." ” Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "How much silver is needed, you can estimate it yourself, and after you decide, you don't need to report it to me again, just withdraw it directly to Lord Wang."
As he spoke, he said to Wang Kai again: "Lord Wang, there is still a lot of silver left in the county's treasury, you have to do your best to cooperate with General Xiao." ” "It's the king" Wang Kai agreed stubbornly, and at the same time respected and hated Tang Yin.
He admired Tang Yin's intelligence and cleverness, recruiting a naval army, which could make up for the shortcomings of the Feng army's water warfare, and also make up for the combat effectiveness consumed by the Feng army's injuries and illnesses.

Seeing that Xiao Muqing was going to recruit a navy near the Zhanghe River, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue were willing to be left behind, and they all expressed their desire to go with Xiao Muqing.
Tang Yin was happy to see the scene of the four armies fighting, and he did not object at all, and agreed to all of them.
Tang Yin handed over the preparations for the battle across the river to the commander of the Fourth Army, and he was happy to be idle and prepared to rest in Qingyuan City for three days.
It's just that the three days he rested were not peaceful, and the battle of crossing the river was far from being as easy as he imagined, and the serious injury of the eldest grandson Yuanhong did not affect his outstanding military strategy and talent, he had already laid a big net for Tang Yin on the west bank of the Zhanghe River, just waiting for him to attack
