Lin Han had died, the hundred odd Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army s protecting by his side had all been killed, not a single one had surrendered.
From the start to the end, only six hours had passed, but the meaning of this battle was very important. The local army of Shaoling County had all been annihilated by the Feng Army, and after this battle, there were no longer any large scale powers of resistance within the Shaoling County.
When the battle was completely over, at the same time Feng Army swept the battlefield, he also calculated the casualties on both sides. Feng Army had a total of close to ten thousand casualties, out of which more than half had been caused by the new army. On the other hand, the number of soldiers that had died in the battle in the Ning army alone was more than twenty thousand.
It was impossible for Tang Yin to split his troops to guard so many captives. He immediately gave the order to sentence all the captured Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army to death, and the mission he executed fell on the head of the new army.
The reason he had sent the new army to behead all the captives was mainly because he wanted the new army to have blood on their hands. This was also equivalent to forcing them to have no other choice but to follow Feng Army wholeheartedly.
Nan Ye did not dare to disobey the King's order, he could only follow through with it. More than ten thousand local soldiers of the Ning Country had all died in the hands of Ning'er's own people, the outcome was tragic and regrettable.
Within the Wohu Pass, corpses covered the ground and rivers of blood flowed. Lin Han's corpse was also hung high up in the sky above the city walls of the Wohu Pass, as a way to console the spirit of Zhou Chang who had died in battle.
Feng Army only rested for a short while, and then continued to move westward. In the following stages of advancement, Feng Army was almost unopposed to anything, connecting the next two cities, and successfully entering Yunkou County's ranks.
The local army of Yunkou County had already followed Zhangsun Yuanhong to the south to fight against the Mo Army. It was a vast expanse of land, with a large population and a flourishing and prosperous Yunkou County.
In Yunkou County, the main force that attacked Feng Army were the local citizens, but the strength of the citizens were not even comparable to the local army, so their attacks on Feng Army could only affect the guerrilla warfare or harassment of the east and west, and did not pose a substantial threat. At most, it would only slow the speed of Feng Army's advancement.
With Lin Han killed, the entire Shaoling County army was annihilated, the Feng Army was pushed to the Yunkou County s with unstoppable force, and wave after wave of bad news kept entering the Liangzhou, in that moment, everyone was panic-stricken, the situation became chaotic, even the Ning Country court was thrown into chaos.
Right now, the Ning Country court was mainly split into two factions. One was the main fighting, and the people who advocated fighting to the death with Feng Army was the leader of the faction, Right Prime Minister Zhang Zhihong, while the other was the leader of the faction who escaped, allowing Yan Chu to bring the imperial court away first and retreat to the west side of the Ning Country to avoid the battle. The leader of this faction was the Sky Sovereign Cai Song.
If the King left, the entire Liangzhou would be lost. If even the capital was occupied by the Feng Army, it would mean the death of the Ning Country, so how would the ruler of a nation have the face to face with the common people with Ning Country? Rather than live a life full of pride, it was better to fight to the death.
The Escape Sect advocated keeping Qingshan alive. They were not afraid of burning firewood. Only by avoiding the attack would they have enough time to accumulate their strength and counterattack in the future.
The two sects argued non-stop, and in the palace, they continued to discuss with each other, the arguments were so loud that it reached the point where Yan Chu was in the top two.
Of course, he hoped that would die in the hands of the Feng Army. If Yan Chu ran, even if the Feng Army took over and made him king, no one in the King Ning would recognize him.
As for why Cai Song was escaping, it was naturally also out of selfishness. He was the country secretary, a relative of the king, so once Feng Army was broken, he would be the first to be viciously attacked by the Feng Army. Only if Yan Chu escaped, could his life and power be guaranteed.
It could be said that none of the two important officials of the imperial court were thinking for Ning Country, as they were both making their last stand for their own personal gain.
Whether it was war or escaping, Yan Chu could not make a decision, but in his heart, he did not want to run. He would rather die in the hands of the Feng Army than become an exiled king.
Finally, he looked at Gao Dan, and asked for his opinion.
Gao Dan was the Minister of the Left after all, and remained calm when strong enemies were about to arrive at the city gates.
After a long silence, Fang said, "The King should take care of a few things as soon as possible. Firstly, I have anxiously summoned General Yuanhong back to the capital. Although the war in the south is tight, the Feng Army is close to the capital. But... He didn't know if he could send out the transfer order in time.
Gao Dan did not finish what he was thinking. After all, Zhangsun Yuanhong was a thousand miles away, and he was in the middle of a battle with the Mo Army.
Yan Chu heard and thought for a while, but in the end, he still nodded his head helplessly. He didn't like Zhangsun Yuanhong, but right now, there was no one that could use him.
He then asked, "Master Gao, what should I do?"
"Second, ask for help from the Yu Country of the south." Gao Dan sighed lightly and said: "Although Yu Country is a weak nation, it is still a kingdom of dukes. If Yu Country is willing to send troops, they can definitely suppress the Mo Army that is invading our southern region."
It was not that Yan Chu had not thought of asking the Yu Country for help. Ning Yu and his country were bordering each other, but their relationship was very ordinary. It wasn't that there was any conflict between the two countries, but rather, Yu Country's national policy was to be closed and conservative.
Furthermore, the king of the Yu Country, Ling Shuang, had just inherited the throne not long ago. He was still young and was the only female ruler of the current nine great dukes, Yan Chu did not think that she had the guts to send troops to assist the Ning Country, so he had offended Feng Country and Mo Country.
He asked, "Master Gao, this king had thought about requesting help from the Yu Country, but after careful consideration, he felt that the Yu Country might not dare to send troops to assist you."
Gao Dan nodded his head and said: "That's right, if we only let Yu Country send out troops, with their ways of doing things, they might not be willing to help us. Therefore, our third point is to suggest the King to send a message to the envoys stationed in the other countries, and for them to immediately propose to the kings of the countries to join forces to eliminate the wind!"
"Huh?" Hearing that, all the officials were startled, and they all looked at Gao Dan.0
Gao Dan cupped his hands towards Yan Chu and said: "Great King, the gap between Chuan Country And Zhen Country and itself is already very deep. There must be a battle between them, and sooner or later, the two nations of Chuan Country And Zhen Country will join forces and send out their Feng Country. Feng Country is clearly aware of this point, which was why he was in a hurry to join forces with Mo Country and swallow me, Danning, in order to increase the strength of the nation and increase the stakes to contend against the two great nations. But right now, our country is in a precarious situation, and our Feng Country is on the verge of breaking down. If our Chuan Country And Zhen Country still does not make a move, if we drag it out any longer, when they make their move, it will not be towards our current Feng Country, but towards a mighty Feng Country that has swallowed our Ning Country. This is something that the two nations cannot accept no matter what happens.
This subject dares to assert, as long as the King requests the army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country to attack the wind, the two nations will grant it! As long as the armies of the two nations come out, Feng Army would have to return to save themselves, and the danger to our eastern region would be easily resolved. Then we can think of a way, or persuade or buy through Yu Country, to join hands with our country to fight against Mozambique, and the war in the south will soon subside. "
Even Yan Chu subconsciously stood up, held his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth in the great hall.
After thinking for a while, he felt that Gao Dan's words were reasonable and feasible, so he stopped in his tracks and without asking for the other ministers' opinions, he decided to say: "Alright! We'll do as you say! "
As he spoke, he looked towards Hong Si and said, "Lord Hong, give the letter to the envoys stationed abroad, especially the Chuan Country And Zhen Country and the two countries ?" Forget it, let this king write a letter himself! "
Having found a way to deal with the situation, Yan Chu had a goal in mind. He became dispirited all of a sudden, and as if he had been given a boost, he sat back down on the throne and began to write a letter.
Gao Dan's strategy was not bad, but what Yan Chu and Gao Dan did not expect was that after they had just discussed the strategy, the news had already reached Tang Yin.
The one who had spread the news was none other than the highly placed Right Prime Minister Zhang Zhihong, whom no one could have predicted.
After they left the imperial palace, Zhang Zhihong and Gao Dan continued to chat happily, even praising him for his wise words, but in reality, he hated Yan Chu so much that the roots of his teeth were itching. He thought that Yan Chu was done for, but in the end, after being stirred up by Gao Dan, he did not know what to do, let alone Feng Army being difficult to conquer, even Feng Country being unable to protect himself was a problem.
After returning to the residence, he immediately found the Sky Eye Scout who was pretending to be living in his residence and told him about the matters of the day. He hoped that Tang Yin could think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
The problem often lay within the interior. The fall of a powerful and prosperous kingdom was also the same, and with the existence of a bug like Zhang Zhihong, it was difficult for Ning Country to be at peace.
The carrier pigeon first transmitted the news to Hedong, and then sent a message to Feng Army Camp which belonged to the spy from Hedong.
After reading through the information, Tang Yin's heart suddenly froze, and he was unable to say anything for a long time.
Gao Dan's strategy could be said to be to hit the weak point of the Feng Country, what the Feng Country feared the most was the Chuan Country And Zhen Country joining forces to attack. If such a thing were to happen, with the limited military strength of the nation of Feng Country, how should they deal with it?
Seeing that Tang Yin was silent after reading the message, with an abnormal expression, Qiu Zhen and the others did not know what happened. They looked at each other, and in the end, it was Qiu Zhen who opened his mouth and asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Is it... What's so important about this? "
Tang Yin did not reply, and silently passed the message to Qiu Zhen.
Qiu Zhen quickly took it, and after reading it, he shuddered for a moment, and then silently passed the letter to Shangguan Yuan who was beside him.
The letters were passed around by the generals one by one. When they were reading the letters, the tent was absolutely silent. After all the generals had read the letters, the tent was even more frighteningly silent.
What are you afraid of, what are you here for! This was the weakest time in the country, how could it withstand the attacks of the two great nations, Chuan Country And Zhen Country? What should he do?
