Final Volume Chapter 86

The report of Li Shu fighting against the Sichuan Army in Fantiao County was soon spread to Fengguo Shangjing.

After reading this battle report, Tang Yin was furious and used four words to evaluate Li Shu: idiot, idiot.

The Zhen Army's strength is to fight encounters and raids, the Sichuan Army's strength is positional warfare, and the army's battles. Li Shu used his own shortcomings to fight against the strengths of the Sichuan Army. He was not a fool, so what was a fool?

Of course, what made Tang Yin angry was not the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Zhen Army who died or injured. No matter how many people died in the Zhen people, he would not feel sad. What he felt sad was the army lost by the Zhen army in this battle. Those were supported by the Feng Kingdom, which was considered the investment of the Feng Kingdom.

After this battle, Li Shu's power was greatly damaged. If the Sichuan army could gather troops to attack in a short period of time, it would be difficult for Li Shu's power to survive. Then the Feng Kingdom's military assistance to them would be completely lost and the money and food would be wasted.

Another very important point is that Tang Yin does not want Li Shu's power to be wiped out by the Sichuan army now. If Li Shu's power exists, it can greatly restrain Sichuan and consume the national strength of Sichuan. This is too beneficial to Feng Kingdom.

After receiving the war report from Zhendi, Tang Yin immediately summoned the civil and military ministers of Feng Kingdom to discuss how to get Li Shu's forces to overcome this difficulty and continue to survive in Zhendi.

The ministers of Feng Kingdom were not optimistic about the situation in Zhendi. Looking at the battle of the Western Plain, the Zhen army fought too badly, with most of the troops reduced. The Sichuan Army could at least gather the strength of two legions. The strength of the two sides was very different. If the Sichuan court sent reinforcements at this time, the gap between the two sides would be even wider. This could not be made up by the Feng Kingdom's support of some arms and money and food.

Xiao Muqing frowned and said worriedly: "King, judging from the current situation, no matter how much military equipment and how much food we provide to Li Shu, it may not be of any help."

Tang Yin asked, "Mu Qing, what if you think?"

Xiao Muqing said seriously, "Send troops directly to reinforce!" He looked at everyone present and continued, "Now Li Shu has less than 100,000 soldiers and generals under him, and the Sichuan army in Fantiao County and Jinggu County, which are close to him, has at least two legions. If the Sichuan army attacks at this time, the Zhenren will undoubtedly be defeated. If the Zhenren wants the Zhenren to withstand the attack of the Sichuan army, our country can only send troops to reinforce directly. Of course, our reinforcements can first dress up as the Zhenren, so that they can also avoid direct engagement with the Sichuan country."

Tang Yin rubbed his chin and remained silent. Qiu Zhen shook his head and said, "We Fengren are not Zhenren after all. Even if we change our outfits, we can still be recognized by the Sichuan people at a glance. Letting the Sichuan people know that our country sends troops to reinforce Li Shu's power is undoubtedly equivalent to declaring war on Sichuan. At that time, our country may have a full-scale war with Sichuan. This... is not a wise move!"

What Qiu Zhen said was Tang Yin's concern. Feng Kingdom is not ready for a full-scale war with Sichuan Kingdom, and hastily started the war, and it is likely that he will follow in the footsteps of the last crushing defeat.

The last defeat led to the annihilation of the Feiyu Army. The lessons of the past are still vivid in my mind. Tang Yin dared not take such risks again.

He nodded repeatedly, saying that Qiu Zhen was right, and sending troops directly to Zhendi was the only way to do so. Xiao Muqing shook his head and said, "If our country cannot directly send troops to aid, in the eyes of the last general, Li Shu's party will be destroyed!"

Tang Yin raised his hand, tapped his forehead gently, and murmured: "Is there no other good plan except to send troops directly to provide assistance?"

Liang Qi's eyes rolled and he continued, "Since the fact that the troops are not enough, our country can send generals."

"Oh? Let's listen in detail." Tang Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Liang Qi said: "The biggest problem facing Li Shu's power is not the shortage of soldiers and short generals, but the lack of commanders who can command the three armies and plan strategies. If our country can send a commander to Zhendi and take over the generals under Li Shu's command, with the combat power of the Zhen people, even if they face the strong attack of the two legions of Sichuan, they may not be unable to win."

Tang Yin nodded, thinking that Liang Qi's words were just a point. The commander of the rebels is Li Shu, but can he fight? Perhaps he has extremely high political talent and is good at winning people's hearts and encouraging morale, but the fact of commanding troops to fight is too ordinary. Through this battle in the Wangxi Plain, it can be seen that Li Shu has no strategic vision and does not even have the self-knowledge of a qualified commander. Even if Zhenren is a army of tigers and wolfs, a person like him can't fight a beautiful battle.

He said, "What Liang Qi said is reasonable, but which general should we send to Zhendi and take over Zhenjun?"

Seeing Tang Yin looking at him with a gaze, Liang Qi hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing. Seeing this, Tang Yin understood that Liang Qi was unwilling to go to Zhendi.

He shook his head secretly. Since Liang Qi didn't want to go, he couldn't force it. Tang Yin's eyes turned and looked at Xiao Muqing and Ziying's generals. No matter who he looked at, the other party would either lower his head or turn his eyes elsewhere and would not look at him.

Haha! Everyone really has a tacit understanding, and they are not willing to go to Zhendi. Tang Yin smiled bitterly in his heart.

In fact, we can't blame the Feng Army for retreating. First of all, this battle is not easy to fight. We have to win more with less and fight with strong with weak. It is not so easy to fight. If it is not enough, no one is willing to fight such a battle.

Secondly, and most importantly, the military power of the rebels is not so easy to take over? Feng Guo has already sent a military supervisor, and it is a veteran like Tao Yuanfeng who has been in battle and has rich experience, but is anyone listening to his opinions? If Zhenren is willing to listen, there will be no hope for the battle in the Western Plain. If he goes by himself, he is cold to the side by the Zhenren like Tao Yuanfeng, what's the point?

Seeing that the generals were not verbally avoiding their gaze, Tang Yin was both angry and sighing. Of course, he could understand everyone's thoughts. After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke, "Well, since you don't want to go this trip, then let me go!"

Hearing this, everyone present changed their faces and said in an almost unanimous voice: "Master, no!"

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Zhen Ren is unruly. You go there, let alone cannot take over the military power of the rebels. I am afraid that even if you give advice, Li Shu may not be able to accept it. But it will be different if I go there in person. Li Shu will still be a little afraid."

"But, this trip is dangerous!" Everyone leaned forward involuntarily and said nervously.

"It's not dangerous. I'm just worried that I may not be able to lead the Zhenren to defeat the Sichuan Army, so..." Tang Yin turned his head and looked at Qingyu with a smile, and said, "General Qingyu, let's go with me!"

Anyway, the Feiyu Army has been completely wiped out in Sichuan and is now being reorganized, and it will take a long time to stay in China. Qingyu is also a bare commander with nothing to do, and a idler. Of course, Tang Yin didn't have the nerve to say the words behind it.

Tang Yin took the initiative to invite him. Qingyu was really not willing to make up for a while. After holding it in, he reluctantly said: "Since the king has an order, the last general will obey the order."

Since the last lesson, Qingyu has been unwilling to fight with Tang Yin from the bottom of his heart. It is true that Tang Yin is good at using strange moves in war, but strange moves often coexist with risks, which does not conform to Qingyu's calm style, but Tang Yin is the king. If there is a dispute, Qingyu can only obey Tang Yin. The annihilation of the Feiyu army is a bloody example.

Hearing that Qingyu agreed very reluctantly, Tang Yin also knew that he was still angry with him, and smiled dryly with an awkward face: "Qingyu, this time I go to Zhendi, I will listen to you, you are the main and I will support..."

Before he could finish his words, Qingyu couldn't wait to bow and bow and said, "Master Yingming!"

Tang Yin blinked, and Qingyu didn't seem to be praising himself no matter how much he said.

After the battle in the Wangxi Plain, the Zhenren rebellion forces headed by Li Shu were in danger. As a last resort, Tang Yin could only go to Bainan County in Zhenxi to resolve the rebels' urgent needs.

Tang Yin was quite self-aware and knew very well that he was very good at leading the army to fight. He was probably not much better than Li Shu's ability to lead the army to fight. So he cleverly brought Qingyu, the genius commander. With Qingyu around, he believed that even if there were only 70,000 or 80,000 people left in Zhenjun, it would be enough to resist the 200,000 Sichuan Army.

Worried that he was recognized by the Sichuan Army, Tang Yin did not bring too many guards. There were less than 500 people following him to Zhendi, mainly elites such as hidden arrows, sky eyes, and earth nets.

In order to hide their identity, their group also specially changed into casual clothes and dressed up as caravans.

Before leaving, Feng Guo sent a letter to Li Shu first. The letter did not mention that Tang Yin would go to Zhendi, but only said that he would send Qingyu to assist Zhen's army and asked Li Shu to arrange personnel to go to the Fengchuan border to respond.

To put it short, Tang Yin entrusted the affairs of the court to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. He took Qingyu and his group to leave Shangjing and headed to the junction of Fengchuan. He had no words all the way. After arriving at the agreed location, he successfully joined the Zhenren who were waiting there.

Li Shu still attached great importance to Qingyu's arrival and specially sent his general Meng Xiong to lead two thousand elite soldiers to support him. Meng Xiong was a powerful general in the rebels, as famous as Raymond, and was known for his great strength and brave combat.

When Meng Xiong saw Qingyu, he was shocked. He had never seen such a beautiful man with fair skin, soft and weak, and was even more beautiful than a woman.

When he came, he had already received Li Shu's advice. Meng Xiong was naturally very polite to Qing Yu and respected him as a guest. In addition, Qing Yu was so delicate that Meng Xiong took care of him on the road.

Zhendi is quite peaceful now, at least for the rebels. The Sichuan army stationed in Zhendi has long been afraid of being beaten by the rebels. Most of them are huddled in the town and dare not go out easily. Meng Xiong escorted Tang Yin and his party. As long as they did not enter the city to stay along the way, they would basically not encounter the Sichuan army.
