Bai Qing's First Division was the main force of Anguo. With the surrender of Bai Qing's First Division, the Pingyuan Army and Tianying Army had no resistance. The officers and soldiers of the two armies marched straight into the hinterland of Anguo. The spearheads of the two armies were directly pointed at Yuzhen, the capital of Anguo.

The Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army are progressing so smoothly. How can Qi Heng, who has always been unwilling to fall behind others, not be anxious?

If the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army were allowed to rush to capture Yuzhen, he felt that his southern expedition would be fruitless, and even the entire Ninth Army would be humiliated.

Two more days passed, and the underground network detectives in Fucheng still did not return any news. However, an uninvited guest came to Fengying, Cai Gui.

Cai Gui came here specially after asking for leave from the court. He was not going to Tang Yin's side, but to the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army.

Since the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army were advancing rapidly and were about to attack Yuzhen, Cai Gui was worried about Li Meier's safety and planned to rescue Li Meier from the palace before the city was breached.

When he passed by the Fucheng area, he heard that the king was leading the army to fight here, so he stopped by to say hello to Tang Yin.

After understanding his purpose, Tang Yin nodded in understanding. In his opinion, Li Meier contributed a lot in the battle against An. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the number one contributor. He should not kick him after using her.

Kick her away, regardless of her life or death.

He nodded repeatedly and praised: "I have ignored Miss Mei'er's safety before. Cai Gui, you are more thoughtful. You must handle this matter well and not let Miss Mei'er make any mistakes."

"Wei Chen understands!" Cai Gui hurriedly responded with his hands in hand.

"It is reported that the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army have advanced to Qingping County. From here to Qingping, we have to pass through two counties in Anguo. The road is dangerous, so you should be more careful!" Tang Yin warned.

Before Cai Gui could speak, Qi Heng stood up and said: "Looking at the future, Mr. Cai will not go to the Pingyuan Army and just stay with the king."

"However, the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army are approaching Yuzhen..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Cai, our army will definitely reach Yuzhen before the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army, and will definitely break the city before their two armies!" Qi Heng said in a deep voice: "So, Mr. Cai, where are you?

Don’t go, just stay with peace of mind.”

Cai Gui secretly grinned. Fucheng was still far away from Yuzhen. If he continued to fight all the way, how long would it take to reach Yuzhen? How could he get ahead of the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army?

With nothing to say to a rough guy like Qi Heng, Cai Gui looked at Tang Yin with a troubled expression.

Tang Yin thought about Qi Heng's words seriously. He didn't think that his side would definitely be able to reach Yuzhen before the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army. There was nothing comparable, but he felt that passing through the two counties of Anguo was too dangerous after all.

Even if Cai Gui has a group of domestic slaves with good cultivation to protect him, accidents will inevitably happen. If something happens to him on the road, it will be a big loss to Feng Guo.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Cai Gui, I also think what Qi Heng said is reasonable. You can stay with me for the time being. As for the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army, I will pass on the news to the Jiutian Astronomical Scouts.

After receiving the message, Ai Jia immediately informed Tang Yin of the situation.

In the letter from the underground spy, it was clearly stated that Li De had agreed to surrender to his side. However, he put forward three conditions. First, he asked for three thousand taels of gold. Second, after he surrendered, his military rank and title must be with him in Anguo.

Shi Pingping, and thirdly, he wants Fengjun to prove that his family members in Yuzhen are safe. Only if Fengjun accepts and fulfills these three conditions will he be willing to defect.

After reading this letter, Tang Yin immediately summoned all the generals in the army and announced it. When the generals heard this, many people were filled with indignation. A mere Li De dared to put forward so many conditions to his own side. He really overestimated his capabilities.

.

Qi Heng said angrily: "Your Majesty, this thief is abominable and cannot be tolerated. Our army has been delayed for several days, and now we can no longer delay it. Please order the attack on the city immediately!"

Without waiting for Tang Yin to express his position, Wu Ying immediately said: "Li De's conditions are not unacceptable. Three thousand taels of gold and military ranks can be given to him first. At worst, he can take them back later. Only the third item is a bit difficult to deal with.

, it is not an easy task to protect his family in Yuzhen!"

Yes! Tang Yin secretly nodded. It is the common practice of all countries to keep their families as hostages in the capital while their generals are away. The families of these generals have always been strictly monitored by the courts. It would be difficult for them to intervene if they wanted to!

While Tang Yin was frowning and silent, Cai Gui, who originally thought he had nothing to do, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this matter can be left to Wei Chen! Wei Chen's family has many stores in Yuzhen.

It is not difficult to hide dozens of people."

That's right! After hearing what he said, Tang Yin's eyes suddenly lit up. How could he have forgotten Cai Gui? The Cai family still had some connections in Yuzhen. They had a way to send Li Meier to Yue Xin, so he wanted to hide it.

Li De's family can also do it.

He asked: "Cai Gui, are you sure?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you're sure of it!"

"Well, it's up to you to handle this matter. After hiding Li De's family members, immediately ask his family members to write a letter of reply." Tang Yin said.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Cai Gui responded with his hands raised.

As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving wisely. As soon as Cai Gui arrived in Fengying, he had a place to use. Cai Gui sent a letter to Fei Ge, a servant of the Cai family in Yuzhen, and gave a general account of Li De's defection. He quickly tried to protect his family.

The Cai family was very efficient in doing things. Just three days later, a reply came, saying that the matter had been settled, and the autographed letter from the Li family was being sent to Fucheng as quickly as possible.

Cai Gui was overjoyed and immediately reported the matter to Tang Yin. After hearing this, the latter breathed a sigh of relief and praised Cai Gui greatly.

Ten days later, the servants of the Cai family rushed to the Fengjun camp, and brought the Li family's Nine Astronomical Secret Agents to tell Li De that Fengguo accepted all his conditions and that Fengguo had already protected his family and allowed him to stay there.

You can do things boldly in the city with confidence.

Another day, late at night, there was a sudden chaos in Fucheng City. The 100,000 An Army led by Li De suddenly raised the banner of the Feng Army and launched a sneak attack on Cui Tu's remaining troops.

At the same time, the Feng army outside the city also took the opportunity to launch an attack on the city. With the cooperation of Li De's troops, they successfully broke through the four gates of Fucheng, and the army rushed in from outside the city like a tide.

There was no suspense about the ensuing battle. Cui Tuyi never expected that Li De would switch sides. He was caught off guard and had no ability to fight back. Most of the soldiers did not even understand what was going on and were beaten in their sleep.

The man held a knife to his neck.

Cui Tu hated Li De deeply, but now that the Feng army had entered the city, and there were not many soldiers left around him, it was no longer possible to settle accounts with Li De, so he could only be forced to run outside the city. But there were no people left outside the city.

It's Feng Jun, how can he escape?

Poor Cui Tu, the general of Anguo, died tragically among the rebels near the city gate.

When the battlefield was being cleaned up after the war, a soldier named An who had defected found his body. There were more than thirty crossbow arrows stuck in his body, making him look like a hedgehog.

As Cui Tu's troops were annihilated and Li De's troops defected, the Feng army took advantage of the situation and occupied Fucheng. Then, they temporarily deprived Li De of his military power and dismissed the defecting An army. The army continued southward and captured the entire Taifeng County in one fell swoop.

.

The main force of the Central Army that An Guo faced was completely wiped out, which made the next battle much easier for the Feng Army. Most of the people they faced were An Guo's local armies, and ten times out of ten, the battle had not yet begun, and the An Army

They raised the white flag and surrendered.

The Feng army moved all the way south, attacking cities and plundering territory all the way. Their momentum was so strong that it was simply unstoppable.

After the Feng army led by Tang Yin captured the entire territory of Taifeng County, they successively captured Longmen and Hefeng counties with lightning speed, and advanced to Nanping County where Yuzhen was located.

Now, the Feng Army on Tang Yin's side, Xiao Muqing's side, and the Feng Army on Ziying's side have formed a pincer attack on Nanping County. One is attacking from north to south, and the other is attacking from west to east. Their targets are Anguo's capital city located in the center of Nanping County.

Yuzhen.

The current Anguo court is in chaos, and all the civil and military ministers are panic-stricken.

Seeing the hundreds of thousands of Feng troops approaching from the north and west, Anguo was unable to resist. The remaining 200,000 central troops still had to garrison the capital and did not dare to mobilize easily. Without soldiers and generals,

How can people not panic and be chaotic?

What makes An Guo ministers most angry and helpless is that at this time, An Wang Yueze is still nesting in the gentle countryside of the harem all day long, still ignoring the government affairs, and even being indifferent. In his eyes, there is no one except Li Meier.

There is no room for other people or other things.

Anguo General Wei Chiyu sent a memorandum to Yue Ze at this time, intending to personally command the 50,000 temporarily recruited local army officers and soldiers to leave the city and go north to face the Feng Army led by Feng Wang.

This request for military leave is actually like committing suicide. There are only 50,000 soldiers, and they are made up of local armies. How can they withstand the Feng Kingdom's Central Army of 200,000 to 300,000 under Tang Yin's command?

What is unexpected is that Yue Ze actually saw Yu Chiyu's memorial. What is even more surprising is that he actually got it right. After learning about Yue Ze's accurate memorial, Yu Chiyu couldn't help but sigh.

, as a general, he can only die for his country.

Before leaving Yuzhen, he first made arrangements for his death, and then led the 50,000 Anguo local army to march north to meet the Feng army.

With an army of only 50,000, Qi Heng would not take it seriously at all, and passed the battle to Liu Zhang. However, after hearing that the enemy's leader was Yu Chiyu, he immediately changed his attention and got ahead of Liu Zhang.

He led the Ninth Army and fought out.
