625: C625

C625

Right now, the two sides of the Zhang River had turned into a confrontation. The Feng Army could not pass through, and the Ning Army did not dare to retaliate rashly.

In these ten days, while Feng Army was preparing for the Rites of Holy Rites, he was also consolidating his defense on the east shore of Zhang River. In addition, he had recruited around thirty thousand new troops, and the Ning Army on the other side was not idle either, with Zhangsun Yuanhong's orders, the surrounding local troops all rushed to reinforce them, causing the Ning Army's strength to be further augmented. The original hundred thousand year old Western Army had now expanded to more than two hundred thousand, and among them, there were infantry and sailors, as well as the support of over a hundred large scale ships, the Ning Army's combat power was already extremely strong.

Ten days later, Qiu Zhen finally arrived at the Zhang River, exhausted. After receiving the news that Qiu Zhen had arrived, Tang Yin was exceptionally excited, and went out of the camp to receive it. When they arrived outside the Camp Gate, they saw that Qiu Zhen and the guards who were accompanying them were covered in dust. Each and every one of them was covered in dirt, as if they had just crawled out of a pile of dirt.

Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, everyone dismounted and rushed to Tang Yin's side. They knelt down and greeted: "This subject greets the King!"

"Quickly, get up!" Tang Yin reached out to help Qiu Zhen up, and at the same time, examined him carefully. Seeing that Qiu Zhen's cheeks were thin, and his eyes were bloodshot, it was obvious that he had been in a hurry these past few days, and did not have much time to rest, Tang Yin felt his heart ache and relieved. Qiu Zhen was his first friend since arriving in this world, as well as the first person who was dead set on accompanying him. After such a long time, the trust Tang Yin had for him was far beyond what others could compare to. Especially now, when the army's advance in the west was blocked, and he had suffered defeat in a row. When he saw Qiu Zhen now, he felt as if he was close to him.

He pulled Qiu Zhen's hand and said emotionally: "Qiu Zhen, coming all the way here, it's really been hard on you!"

Although Qiu Zhen was tired and tired, he was still full of spirit. At the same time, Tang Yin sized him up, he also observed Tang Yin. After not seeing him for a few months, Tang Yin had lost a lot of weight compared to when he left the Yan City, and he had also become more haggard. Of course, this was also directly related to their recent battle situation.

He said, "This humble subject has only travelled for a dozen days. It is far from tiring. The King is truly tiring to have him lead troops to war!"

Yes, Tang Yin had worked hard, but he couldn't pour these words out to others. Furthermore, no matter if he won or lost, he had to force himself to put on a relaxed and proud look, because he was the core, and his emotions could directly affect the morale of the entire army.

His eyes were burning hot, and he laughed bitterly. He changed the topic, and asked: "Qiu Zhen, you said in your reply that you could not reconcile me with the Ning Country, why is that?"

"Great King, let's go back to the camp first!" Qiu Zhen looked left and right, then smiled and said to Tang Yin.

"Right, right, right! "Let's return to camp first." Tang Yin held Qiu Zhen's hand and walked back to the camp side by side.

The surrounding generals looked at each other and laughed in unison. In these past few days, they had not seen Tang Yin so happy.

Central Army Tent.

Tang Yin only called Qiu Zhen and the commanders of the four armies over, while he sent the other generals back to rest. After everyone sat down in the tent, without saying anything else, Tang Yin asked straightforwardly: "Qiu Zhen, you tell me, why can't our army negotiate?"

Without waiting for Qiu Zhen to speak, Xiao Muqing continued: "We cannot negotiate, and our army cannot defeat the Zhang River either, we can only remain in such a stalemate on the east shore. We are wasting manpower, and we are also consuming rations!"

Liang Qi, Zi Ying and Gu Yue all nodded, showing that they agree with Xiao Muqing's words.

Qiu Zhen looked at the crowd and smiled lightly, saying, "It seems that all the generals have yet to figure out which is more important."

What did that mean? Everyone was startled, and looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion. Qiu Zhen turned and cupped his hands towards Tang Yin: "Great King has already considered, once our army and Ning Country come to an agreement, what about the northern side's Dookie?"

"Dookie?" Tang Yin frowned, and blinked his eyes.

Qiu Zhen said: "The King and Dookie have already agreed that the two nations will join hands to attack, my country wants Hedong, and Dookie needs Tia. Right now, my army has already sent our Hedong down, but our Dookie has yet to bear any fruit from devouring Tia, so wouldn't we break our faith with our Ning Country at this time?"

Xiao Muqing and the others pondered for a moment, and then, were about to speak. At this time, Qiu Zhen waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I know that generals say that Dookie is only Savage Country, and that it is fine to disbelieve in Dookie, but the truth is, Dookie is extremely important to our country. Right now, if our country is at peace with Ning Xuemo, Ning Country can concentrate on dealing with Dookie. With Dookie's national power, we are unable to contend against Ning Country, and the final outcome is most likely to be destroyed by Ning Country. At that time, Ning Country can change the direction of the blade, and use all our strength to deal with us. The imperial court of Ning Country is not a fool. Their negotiation is a plan to slow down the troops and a plan to destroy the soldiers one by one. "

After pausing for a moment, Qiu Zhen continued, "With Dookie here, it is just like a large blade hanging over the head of the Ning Country. In addition, our Savage Country emphasizes integrity and honesty. If we lose our trust in our Dookie today, it will also directly affect our relationship with Bessa. Diplomacy between nations is not only about mutual utilization, it is also a valuable resource. Now that we have a good relationship with Morfeas Confederacy, no matter how strong the enemy is, we still have a strong ally to rely on behind us. After losing this ally, not only will we lose our backing, we will also have another terrifying enemy. Generals, please think carefully, from the moment the King started her army at the Tianyuan County until now, how much support did Bessar give our country? With this support, how much more powerful will our forces be? If the Great King wants to accomplish great things, the relationship between him and Morfeas Confederacy is extremely important. If there is a fire in the rear courtyard and the nation is at an end, how can a mere Hedong County make up for it? "

After hearing Qiu Zhen's analysis, the tent became quiet.

Dookie and Bessa were of the same rank. If one's own side broke their faith in Dookie and caused the destruction of a nation, then it would naturally result in enmity with Bessa. Just like what Qiu Zhen had said, Beisa had always given their side too much support. From the moment Tang Yin started fighting, Beisa had sent tens of thousands of Heavy Armored Cavalry to them, and when they were fighting with the Ning army, the reason why they were able to win streak after streak was because of Beisa's heavy armored cavalry. Right now, although Beisa's heavy cavalry had long since retreated back to the country, but Beisa's Pabuma was still selling to their side unceasingly, causing his own heavy armored cavalry.

If not for Qiu Zhen's reminder, no one would have thought of this. At this point in time, everyone broke out in cold sweat.

Tang Yin pondered for a long time before letting out a sigh. He nodded repeatedly, and said, "Qiu Zhen's words are extremely reasonable. Generals, what do you think? "

Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Gu Yue and Gu Yue all looked at each other and stood up at the same time. They first bowed deeply towards Qiu Zhen, then cupped their hands towards Tang Yin and said, "Great King, Prime Minister Qiu Jin Shi Liang's words, I am willing to accept them!"

In terms of leading soldiers to battle, Qiu Zhen could not even be compared with any of the four, but in terms of general speaking, four people who only knew how to use troops were far inferior to Qiu Zhen. On this point, Tang Yin was also not able to compare with Qiu Zhen.

Tang Yin sighed, stood up, held his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in front of the table, muttering: "That's right! Our army cannot negotiate with the Ning Country, but if we do not negotiate, how will our army defeat the enemy? "

Hearing Tang Yin's mutters to himself, Qiu Zhen laughed, raised his head and looked at him, and asked: "Why must the King defeat the enemy?"2

Hearing that, Tang Yin stopped in his tracks and looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion.

Qiu Zhen explained with a smile: "Delay! Our army will not negotiate nor declare a truce, so we will drag the Ning Army, led by Zhangsun Yuanhong, to the east coast of the Zhang River to the west coast and prevent them from going north to fight with the Dookie. This is the greatest support our country can give to the Dookie. As for how to deal with the two hundred thousand over Central Army to the north of Ning Country, that is not something that my country can handle.

Tang Yin could not help but laugh, and shrugged: "What can we do about Dookie? Reportedly, the troops who had invaded the Ning Country with their Dookie were continuously being pushed back by the Ning Country, the town they had previously seized were continuously being lost, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated. "

Qiu Zhen waved his hand, showing that he did not care, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has underestimated Dookie. Furthermore, the King does not forget that his Dookie is a member of the Morfeas Confederacy, and the amount of reinforcements he can bring in is much more than what we imagined. The reason why the other cities in the Morfeas have not reinforced their Dookie yet, and the reason why they are not able to do so is because they are afraid that if Zhangsun Yuanhong were to continue to stay in the West Bank with his, he would only use the Central Army of two hundred thousand, and not the other cities in the Morfeas. "

Hearing Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin felt enlightened. He clapped his hands and laughed, and said: "If that's the case, then the Central Army of the two hundred thousand people should not be so good!"

"That might not be the case. This humble subject estimates that once other cities with Morfeas participate in the war, they would still negotiate with the imperial government. Dookie did not want the territory of the Ning Country, but Tia. As long as they beat the Ning Country to the point where they did not dare to reinforce Tia, their goal would be achieved. Our army will continue to drag on like this for the time being, and wait for Dookie to negotiate with them, and then we can discuss the peace between our nation and the Ning Country. In this way, our country will have no losses, and we will not break our faith in the Dookie. Qiu Zhen said confidently.
