Tang Yin followed Xiao Muqing's strategy and stood still, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. As soon as the Sanshui Army and Chifeng Army arrived, his total military strength would be close to 500,000. By then, he would attack Zhangyu City and victory would be easy.

Xiao Muqing's calculation was very good, but things are unpredictable, and an unexpected incident completely disrupted Tang Yin's plan.

According to reports from Sky Eye and Diwang, Mo's 200,000 troops have begun to gather at the border between Feng and Mo, and may send troops to attack Ba Pass at any time.

Baguan is the south gate of Feng Kingdom, and its importance is equal to that of Tongmen. No matter what, Baguan cannot be lost in any way. And now Baguan only has more than 30,000 defenders. How can they withstand the two forces?

With the Mo army numbering 100,000, Tang Yin had no choice but to ask Letian to send an order to the Sanshui Army, asking Liang Qi to command the entire Sanshui Army to stop advancing towards Zhangyu, and immediately withdraw from Gaochuan County and speed south.

Quickly reinforce Baguan. In addition, send an order to Peng Haochu, the commander-in-chief of the Chifeng Army, to temporarily station him near Lishan City. If Baguan really starts a war, he can turn around and provide assistance as soon as possible.

He passed on two military orders in a row. Although it could temporarily alleviate the crisis at Baguan, the reinforcements he was counting on also disappeared. At this time, he could only attack Zhangyu alone with his current strength of more than 100,000 troops.

Of course, Tang Yin was very depressed about this situation. He took such a big risk and sneaked into Mo Country just to prevent Mo Country from launching troops against Feng Country at a critical moment. As a result, he got what he was afraid of. Mo Country seems to have really sent troops to start a war now.

plan, then wouldn’t all the efforts and heavy investment he made at the beginning have been in vain?

After Tang Yin thought about it, he ordered Letian to send a message by flying pigeon to the spy lurking in Chengjiang, the capital of the Mo Kingdom, asking him to go and see Shao Fang and ask him why he did not stop the Mo Kingdom from using troops against Feng.

Now, the court of Mo State is also debating whether Feng should use his troops.

The rescue letter issued by Zhan Wushuang has been passed to the hands of Yan Chu, the king of Ning State. Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi are both generals of Ning State and Yan Chu's right-hand man. Of course, the latter will not ignore death. Yan Chu follows Zhan Wushuang's wishes

, issued an order to the officials of Ning State stationed in Mo State, ordering them to immediately pay a visit to the king of Mo State, requesting Shao Ting to send troops to attack Ba Pass, and assist the two brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi in getting out of trouble. Moreover, Yan Chu also made a heavy promise, as long as Mo State

Ning Guo is willing to donate tens of thousands of taels of gold and give up five cities to rescue the Zhan brothers. This condition is quite generous, and it can also be seen that Yan Chu spent a lot of money to protect Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi.

After Shao Ting read Yan Chu's autographed letter forwarded by Ning Guo's historian, he was also very tempted. He didn't care about ten thousand taels of gold. It was nothing in terms of the national strength of Mo State, but Ning Guo was willing to give up five cities on the condition.

It's so tempting. The border between Ningxia and Mozambique is a plain area with a vast land and dense population, abundant grain production, and developed commerce. Ningguo ceding five cities is equivalent to expanding the territory of Moguo for dozens of miles, and adding more countries out of thin air.

With ten miles of fertile land, Mo's national strength will also be greatly improved.

Shao Ting was moved by Yan Chu's proposal, and agreed to the matter without much consideration, patting his chest and promising that the Mo Kingdom would definitely send troops to conquer the pass, and even invade the Feng Kingdom to help the Zhan brothers conquer the border.

The siege of Chufeng Army.

Seeing that Shao Ting agreed simply, the historian of Ning State thanked him repeatedly and left with satisfaction. In the morning of the next day, Shao Ting explained the matter to the king's court. The ministers in the court were all shocked when they heard this.

After everyone came to their senses, they all shook their heads secretly. Regardless of whether Shao Ting's decision was right or wrong, it was too rash to directly accept Ning Guo's request without even discussing it with the ministers on such a big matter.

However, Grand Tutor Zhang Rong was very happy. He had always been close to Ning Guo. After Shao Ting finished speaking, Zhang Rong was the first to stand up and express his position. He bowed to Shao Ting and fell to the ground, saying repeatedly: "Your Majesty is wise, accept Ning Guo's offer."

Please allow me, Da Mo, not only to add five more cities, but also to send troops to the Feng Kingdom, and also take the opportunity to seize the Ba Pass. With the Ba Pass in hand, in the future, my Da Mo will be invincible against the Feng Kingdom, and the king can also

Sit back and relax!" "Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that Zhang Rong had stood up to express his position, the ministers who were close to Zhang Rong also came out one after another, bowed their hands and saluted, and called Shao Ting wise.

When Shao Ting saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He had just laughed twice when he suddenly heard someone among the ministers whimpering. Shao Ting and the ministers were all startled. They didn't know who was so short-sighted and mourning at this time. People were looking for fame, only to

The one who cried loudly was none other than Dong Sheng, the right prime minister.

If it had been anyone else, Shao Ting would have been angry by now. Even if he was not punished, he would have to be expelled from the hall. But the one crying was Dong Sheng. The anger in Shao Ting's heart disappeared and was replaced by confusion. He raised his head.

, asked: "Dong Aiqing, you...why are you crying?!" It was better if he didn't speak. After saying this, Dong Sheng took two steps forward and sat down on the platform in front of the throne, crying even louder.

Big, and she was crying with her feet stamped on her chest, so sad. Zhang Rong looked on, his teeth were itching, why was this Dong Sheng pretending to be crazy, and why was he pretending to be stupid?

He took a deep breath, raised his hands to Shao Ting and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Sheng is rude and blatantly disrupts the court proceedings. He should be punished!" Shao Ting trusted and relied on Dong Sheng very much. He sighed and stood up.

He walked up to Dong Sheng, pulled him up, and asked: "Why is Dong Aiqing crying?" At this time, Dong Sheng wiped the corners of his eyes and said quietly: "I am crying for the king.

, Crying for my country, Mo!" "How can I say this?" "Your Majesty, Ning State's ambition is known to the world. Today it gave us five cities, but tomorrow it will snatch fifty cities from us.

If your Majesty accepts Ning Guo's request today and helps Ning Guo, then we will be the ones who suffer tomorrow. Your Majesty, your Majesty, we must investigate, we must guard against, and we must not worry about it!" "This..." After listening to Dong Sheng's words,

After saying this, Shao Ting's originally excited mood immediately fell to the bottom, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Hmph!" At this time, Zhang Rong snorted heavily and said: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to Dong Sheng's nonsense and alarmist talk. Ning Guo and I are very different. We are in the same boat as each other. We have always been brothers. How could you possibly have a big relationship with me?"

Don't be an enemy..." Before he could finish his words, Dong Sheng interrupted loudly: "My merchants from Da Mo have traveled all over the world, but they were only expelled from Ning State. In Xia Shang City, my Da Mo has been watched by generations of kings.

Every time they wanted to send troops to annex, they ended up because of Ning Guo's obstruction. What kind of brotherly state is Ning Guo? Mr. Zhang won't be blinded by Ning Guo's money, right?"

The earl personally named by the emperor of the Haotian Empire is one level lower than the kings of the nine princes in terms of status. His territory is also very small, only owning one city. The location of Xia Shang City is very interesting. It is in Feng, Ning, Mo

Between the Three Kingdoms, it stands to reason that such a small city-state in a small area cannot survive for long when surrounded by the three powerful countries. However, Xia Shang City has existed for hundreds of years. It is not that Xia Shang City has many soldiers and generals and no one dares to invade.

It's because of the harsh environment that Xia Shangcheng has a tradition of being good at diplomacy.

The place where Xia Shang City borders the Feng Kingdom is a desolate land of the Feng Kingdom. It basically has nothing to do with the Feng Kingdom. It mainly deals with Ning and Mo. When the Ning Kingdom wants to send troops to it, it moves closer to the Mo Kingdom.

When the Mo Kingdom wanted to send troops to it, it took the initiative to seek refuge with the Ning Kingdom. Its historians were also eloquent and helped Xia Shang City resolve crisis after crisis. As a result, Xia Shang City was weak and surrounded by powerful countries.

Miraculously survived for hundreds of years.

At this time, Dong Sheng proposed to go down to the mall, which made Shao Ting secretly inhale, his brows gradually wrinkled, and his eyes drifted to Zhang Rong from time to time.

Zhang Rong is also an old minister. He has worked for Shao Ting for many years and knows Shao Ting's character well. He was shocked and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I see that this veteran has never accepted a single gold or silver from Ning Guo. Your Majesty, please check it clearly."

!" "Haha!" Dong Sheng chuckled and said, "If Mr. Zhang has a clear conscience, there is no need to be so nervous!" After a pause, he turned his eyes and looked at Shao Fang, indicating that he should stand up at this time.

Say something.

Shao Fang understood, he stepped out and raised his hands and said: "Father, I agree with Xiang Dong's statement. It is not a wise move to use troops against Feng now." "Oh?" Unexpectedly, Shao Fang said the same thing, and Shao Ting came.

I was interested and wanted to know what he had to say. He smiled leisurely and said, "Fang'er, tell me, why shouldn't we use troops against Feng?" Shao Fang took a deep breath, looked around at the ministers present, and said seriously: "Yi'er Chen

In view of this, Ning Guo asked his father to send troops to rescue Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi. It was just a small reason. In addition, there was a more important reason that was not explained." "What is it?" "Drag our country into trouble." Ah? This is the first statement.

When he came out, everyone present was shocked and looked at Shao Fang in disbelief, including Shao Ting.

Shao Fang continued: "Father, the current situation in the Feng Kingdom seems to be chaotic, but in fact the strength of the Feng Kingdom is still strong, especially the combat power of the Feng Army, which is even stronger than during the Zhanhua period. With Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Fang

The 400,000 Ning army led by Wudi entered Fengdi and was completely annihilated by Feng army. If our country sends troops against Feng, how many troops should we send? Do we really want to raise the entire country's army for the five cities that Ningguo verbally promised?

War with the Feng Kingdom? Even if we win in the end, our country's national strength will be greatly damaged, and its losses cannot be replaced by just five cities. Moreover, in the eyes of Erchen, the Feng Kingdom can contain the Ning Kingdom, and the two countries of Feng and Ning

The more fierce and fierce the fight, the greater the mutual consumption, the more beneficial it is to our country. Our country should sit on the sidelines and watch the fire, rather than actively intervene and get stuck in it. I hope my father will think twice!" His words basically covered all aspects.

After analyzing it, all the ministers present secretly clapped their hands and applauded. Even Zhang Rong, who was so inclined to Ning Guo, was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
Chapter completed!
