Chapter 709 Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying have already complained about what the directly subordinate army has done, and they have also talked to Gu Yue about this matter, but Gu Yue is called the commander of the directly subordinate army, in fact, he is just an ornament, and the actual control of the directly subordinate army has always been in Tang Yin's hands.
His answer to the three of them was very simple and helpless: "The king connived, what can I do?"
Hearing Gu Yue say this, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying were speechless.
This time, hearing that Tang Yin did not blame the actions of the directly subordinate army, but also praised it a lot, and the three of them felt that it was not a good taste.
Xiao Muqing has always been tactful in front of Tang Yin, good at flattery, and he will not easily export the advice against Tang Yin's intentions, while Liang Qi is low-key, coupled with his father's relationship, he is somewhat restrained in front of Tang Yin, and he is embarrassed to say some things that should be said. was about to admonish, and the eyes of the two fell on Ziying again.
This time, it's up to me to talk about Ziying, Xiao Muqing, and Liang Qi for so long, how can I not understand what they mean.
He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said to Tang Yin: "King, our army occupies eight cities and three counties in a row, and has controlled the entire territory of Hexi County, but the people of Hexi have moved westward seriously, and many cities and towns have been rare. ” When Tang Yin heard this, his eyes turned around, and he said: "Anyone who moves west will be beheaded if he is caught." ” Ziying nodded, shook her head again, and said, "King, I'm afraid this is a palliative rather than a cure." ” Tang Yin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ziying said: "The reason why the Ning people moved west in large numbers is not that they are all unwilling to accept the control of our strong winds, but that our army is sloppy, and the soldiers are lawless outside, stealing money and property, killing innocents and women indiscriminately, which is not uncommon, resulting in the misery of the people of Hexi, if this goes on for a long time, the people of Ningxi will run out sooner or later, even if the king joins forces with Mozambique to destroy Ning, and finally gets the eight counties of Ningbei, I am afraid that it is only an empty county, and the Ning people will flee to Moxican."
The more Tang Yin listened, the more ugly his face became, and before Ziying could finish speaking, he slapped the table and shouted in a deep voice: "Enough is enough, don't say it again."
He stood up, looked at Ziying, and then at Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Gu Yue, and said coldly: "You are the commander of the four armies, and the military discipline is lax, so you naturally can't escape the blame, and you have the shame to speak these truths in front of me."
The king pushed the responsibility away, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Gu Yue secretly grinned, lowered their heads, and did not dare to face Tang Yin's fierce gaze.
Ziying's face was full of calm, and her expression did not change at all, in fact, she was secretly snickering in her heart.
He arched his hand and said: "What the king said is extremely true, military discipline is lax, and the ministers really cannot escape the blame, because of this, the ministers swear to the king, and if there is anyone who violates military discipline, no matter how high his military rank is, how hard the background is, the ministers will be severely punished, I don't know what the king wants."
Tang Yin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ziying's gourd, listening to his righteous words, he snorted coldly and muttered, "It should have been like this a long time ago."
Ziying bowed his hand and shouted loudly: "My king Shengming" As he spoke, he looked back at Cheng Jin among the generals and said, "General Cheng" Cheng Jin was stunned, he didn't know what Ziying suddenly asked himself to do, he owed a little, and arched his hand: "General Ziying" "General Cheng has already heard what the king meant, and if there are any violators of military discipline, I hope that General Cheng can cooperate to deal with it and correct military discipline and military law."
Cheng Jin was not very willing to take work for himself, he looked up at Tang Yin, and seeing that he did not make any statement, Cheng Jin sighed secretly and said helplessly: "This is natural, Cheng Jin will definitely assist the general." ” Ziying smiled and said, "With the assistance of General Cheng's secret arrow, strict military discipline will become twice the result with half the effort." ” Cheng Jin smiled bitterly and said, "General Ziying is polite. ” Tang Yin didn't want to waste more time on such trivial matters, he looked at Lotte and Ai Jia and asked, "How is the battle situation on the Mo army's side now?"
Ai Jia came out and told Tang Yin in detail.
Seeing the battle report of the Battle of Zhanghe transmitted by Tang Yin, Shao Fang was not happy, but he was not sad, but he just felt disapproving. 400,000 against 200,000, it was natural to win, but he paid 150,000 casualties, which was a bit too much, and he couldn't understand how the wind army fought this battle.
Just attacking the Hexi camp of the Ning Kingdom, the Feng army suffered such heavy losses, and Shao Fang did not have much hope for Tang Yin's side.
Fortunately, Ningguo is now empty of troops, and there is a Feng army to contain it, Shao Fang took this opportunity to divide the 200,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry soldiers of the Mo army into two routes, march together and attack the territory of Ningguo.
The troops in the south of Ning are not much, and the attack of Mozambique is too sudden, and the speed is too fast, so that the local armies in various parts of Ning are caught off guard, and often before they are gathered in one place, they are broken by the iron cavalry of Mozambique that seems to fall from the sky.
The plundering of the Mo army is no worse than that of the Feng army, and it is also what to rob, Shao Fang has already released words when he declared war on Mo, and he wants to fight a Lingyun Palace in this battle.
Lingyun Palace is a palace built by Sichuan State, in order to build this palace, Sichuan Country bulldozed half of a high mountain, used half of the mountain as the foundation, and built the palace and pavilion in mid-air, spending countless amounts of gold and silver, and consuming hundreds of thousands of manpower, which took up to 20 years.
Shao Fang's intention was to regain enough wealth to build a Lingyun Palace in this war, so as to show that his Mo country's national strength was on par with that of Sichuan.
Perhaps because of the close relationship between the people of Ningbo and Mozambique, the Mo army was still relatively polite to the Ning people, did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and did not implicate the war in ordinary Ning people.
However, Ning people are not grateful for the benevolent government of Mozambique, and their hatred for Mozambique has not weakened in the slightest.
The Feng army invaded Ningguo, and the Ning people were afraid and hated, but after all, the relationship between the two countries was originally bad, and the Ning army had also invaded the Wind Country, and now that the Wind Country has come back, the Ning people have nothing to complain about, but the invasion of the Mozambican country is different, and the Ning people have always maintained a friendly alliance relationship, and the Mozambican country is undoubtedly treacherous in doing so, so the Ning people hate the Mozambique country more than the wind country.
After the Mozambican State had conquered the two counties at lightning speed, the Ning State finally came to its senses, and the local armies in various places gradually gathered and concentrated, and hoarded 80,000 heavy troops in Shanyang City and Shishui City in Jiashang County, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the Ning army.
The two cities, like two gate gods, blocked the road of the Mo army to the north.
The Mozambican army immediately launched a strong attack on the two cities, the defenders of Ningcheng fought bloodily, and would rather die than retreat, the people in the city hated the same enemy, and also put into the ranks of defending the city, under such stubborn resistance, the Mozambican army attack was blocked, and attacked two times in a row, and failed to take the two cities of Shanyang and Shishui, which is the current situation of the Mozambican army.
After listening to Ai Jia's story, Tang Yin touched his chin, pondered, and pondered for a moment, he asked: "Is there any movement over there in Liangzhou, does the Ningguo Imperial Court have any plans to send Changsun Yuanhong?"
Lotte replied, "Not yet."
It seems that Yan Chu has the intention of leaving the eldest grandson Yuanhong to guard the capital. ” "Oh" When Tang Yin heard this, he snorted and laughed, and muttered: "In this way, Liangzhou is not so easy to fight."
After a pause, he asked Qiu Zhen: "Qiu Zhen, now should our army continue to stay in Hexi to rest, or go west to take Liangzhou." ” Qiu Zhen frowned and said: "If there is the eldest grandson Yuanhong to defend Liangzhou, this battle will be extremely difficult, it is best to let the Mo army attack Liangzhou one step ahead of our army, and when the two sides are exhausted, our army will appear again and clean up the mess." ” "Yes" Tang Yin said with a smile: "But Mo Jun is not a fool, maybe Shao Fang is the same as you think, waiting for us to attack Liangzhou first, so he can sit and collect the benefits of the fish urn."
It's quite possible.
Qiu Zhen did not deny Tang Yin's speculation, his eyes rolled, and he said faintly: "If the eldest grandson Yuanhong can be transferred out of Liangzhou to fight against the Mo army in the south, it will be the best. ” Of course.
If the eldest grandson Yuanhong could go to battle with the Mo army, it would be very advantageous for Tang Yin, and he could move his army westward without any worries and capture Liangzhou, which was empty of troops, in one fell swoop.
However, how can Yan Chu transfer the eldest grandson Yuanhong out of Liangzhou?
For this kind of strategic strategy in the general direction, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying are not easy to interject, and in the end, Qiu Zhen said: "The king can now send two armies to the south." ” "Why is that?"
"First, pursue Wei Zheng, who fled into Wuqu County.
If we can't completely annihilate Wei Zhengyi, it will be a big trouble for our henchmen, and the two counties of Hexi and Hedong may become the targets of the other side's attack, and the rear of our army will never be at peace. ” Tang Yin and the other generals all nodded their heads, feeling that what Qiu Zhen said was very reasonable.
Qiu Zhen continued: "Second, assist the Mo army attacking Jiashang County and help the Mo army annihilate the Ning army hoarded in Jiashang County, so that it can create the illusion that the south is strong and the east is weak, and Mo is strong and the wind is weak. ” "En" Tang Yin pondered while listening, raised his head and said, "Keep talking." ” "Xiaoling County, west of Hexi County, is reported to have gathered about 50,000 Ning troops in an attempt to prevent our army from advancing westward, and the king can wave his army to attack, and this battle can only be defeated, but not won, and then the king will lead the army to withdraw to Hexi."
Seeing that everyone's faces changed at the same time, and they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, Qiu Zhen smiled slightly and continued: "The reason why Yan Chu left the eldest grandson Yuanhong in Liangzhou is because Yan Chu has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know whether it is better to send him to block our army or to block the Mo army, as long as the king makes the illusion that our army's westward advance is blocked, and the Mo army is going north, the minister thinks, Yan Chu will definitely send the eldest Sun Yuanhong to fight to the death with the Mo army":
