Chapter 351

Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals did not want Ye Cheng to take all the credit, and said to Li Qi: "General Li, since Tang Yin is dead, our army must not miss this opportunity, and should take the initiative to attack the camp of Tianyuan Army."

"This..."

Tang Yin's death is a good thing, but he still dares not to let Li Qi take the initiative. It is difficult to defend the city with only the tens of thousands of central troops at present. If he takes the initiative to attack the camp of Tianyuan Army with hundreds of thousands of people, it is tantamount to seeking death. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Not appropriate! Now, we should just sit back and wait and see."

"General Li, the opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come again!" Xu Hui urged in a hurry.

"Oh... let's wait a little longer!" Li Qi is cautious and steady. It is not unreasonable for Zhong Tian to choose him to guard Yancheng. It is definitely not possible to let someone like Li Qi attack the city, but it is also possible to strictly defend the city.

Li Qi was the commander of the entire army. He did not agree to attack the Tianyuan Army camp. Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals had no choice. Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Late that night, Tang Yin woke up from his coma. At this time, only Su Yelei was beside him. She was sitting next to the bed and had fallen asleep.

Tang Yin glanced at her sideways, then closed his eyes and felt his injuries.

His internal injuries had been mostly healed by the dark aura, but the trouble was the external injuries. Although Su Yelei's medicine was very effective, it could not be compared with the effect of the dark aura. Tang Yin felt as if there were thousands of ants biting all over his body, which was painful and itchy. He knew that this was a necessary process for the wound to heal, but it was still unbearable. Tang Yin was so strong that he couldn't help but let out a low groan at this time.

Su Yelei woke up immediately after hearing the sound. She opened her eyes, looked around first, and then her eyes fell on Tang Yin's face. Seeing his eyes slightly open, she asked in surprise and joy: "Are you awake?!"

"Oh..." Tang Yin responded softly and wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. His throat seemed to be on fire.

Without him speaking, Su Yelei already knew what he needed most now. She stood up and walked aside quickly. Not long after, she came back with a bowl of warm water. While handing it to Tang Yin's mouth, she gently lifted Tang Yin's head with her other hand.

Tang Yin looked at Su Yelei gratefully, opened his mouth, and drank the whole bowl of water cleanly. After drinking the warm water, he lay flat on the bed, let out a long breath, felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and gradually gained strength in his body.

"Do you know that you have been through the gates of hell again this time?" Su Yelei asked expressionlessly while putting away the bowl.

"Fortunately... I went around and came back..." Tang Yin was able to speak, but his voice was very hoarse and weak. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't tell what he was saying.

Su Yelei turned around, met Tang Yin's eyes, and said faintly: "Let's see if you dare to be arrogant again in the future! A commander who can lead the troops is not necessarily a good commander, and a commander who sits in the rear to command the overall situation is not necessarily a bad commander. The key is to see whether he can save the lives of most soldiers."

Tang Yin didn't expect Su Yelei to say such a thing. He sneered at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that her words made sense. He sighed softly and didn't respond.

"It's useless to talk to you. You never listen to others." Su Yelei sat back on the bed, frowned, and looked down at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin's mouth twitched and smiled at her. After a pause, he whispered, "Call Qiu Zhen, I have something to tell you."

"Yes!" Su Yelei agreed, walked out of the tent, and told the Shangguan brothers who were guarding the door of the tent what Tang Yin said.

Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao were delighted when they heard this, and asked, "Doctor Su, is the master awake?"

"Yes!" Su Yelei nodded.

"Then...how is the master's condition?" The two asked with concern.

"Very well, he won't die." Su Yelei replied casually and returned to the tent.

The Shangguan brothers were stunned for a while before they came to their senses. They wanted to rush into the tent and crush Su Yelei to death, but it was also true that she saved Tang Yin who was dying, so the two brothers could only bear it.

Qiu Zhen came very quickly. When he heard that Tang Yin wanted to see him, he didn't even have time to put on his official uniform, and hurried over in a coat.

After seeing Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen rushed forward, trying to lower his voice and asked, "Sir, how do you feel now?"

"I'm fine." Tang Yin forced a smile at Qiu Zhen, then he swallowed hard and said seriously, "Now, what is the reaction from Yancheng?"

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said, "No reaction. However, people in Yancheng are saying that the lord is seriously injured and has died..." Qiu Zhen didn't dare to say the last two words.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Tang Yin was shocked at first, and then his eyes lit up again. He laughed dryly twice, but immediately coughed violently again.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhen hurriedly patted Tang Yin on the back.

Su Yelei said coldly, "You are still weak, it is not suitable to say too much, and it is time for Master Qiu to go back."

Qiu Zhen looked at Su Yelei, then looked at Tang Yin, stood up awkwardly, and said, "I feel relieved to know that Master is fine..."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Yin waved at him, signaling Qiu Zhen not to leave yet, and then he grinned at Su Yelei and said half-jokingly, "Master Medical Officer, can you give me a few words?"

Su Yelei snorted and said nothing more.

Tang Yin then said to Qiu Zhen: "Early tomorrow morning, I will order the entire army to pay tribute and our army will retreat from Yancheng."

flutter! Hearing this, Qiu Zhen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The whole army pays filial piety, which is only done when the coach dies. Although Tang Yin is seriously injured now, he has been rescued after all. Isn't this a curse on himself? ! Even Su Yelei on the side was surprised, opened her eyes wide in confusion and confusion, and looked at Tang Yin without blinking.

Tang Yin didn't know how to use soldiers, but he had heard many stories about people cheating their own lives in storytelling. This time, he felt it was a great opportunity to use this strategy. As for whether the whole army was in mourning or not, he didn't think about it at all.

"Sir, this... Let's not talk about the funeral. Let's just say that our army must not retreat from Yancheng. Our army has traveled thousands of miles to fight from Tianyuan County to Yancheng. How many soldiers have been sacrificed and how much blood and sweat have been shed. Once we retreat, All the previous efforts have been wasted and our army is in danger!" Qiu Zhen poked his head and said earnestly. At the same time, he was very surprised. Tang Yin never gave up until he achieved his goal. This time, he chose to retreat after a bad attack on the city on the first day. It was really not in line with Tang Yin. personality.

Tang Yin smiled calmly and said: "The mourning and the withdrawal of troops are just a pretense. Their purpose is to lure out the defenders in Yancheng. The news that I am dead is spreading in Yancheng. It must have been spread by the defenders. , we will use a strategy to make the entire army pay filial piety, so that the enemy will really think that I am seriously injured and will not die. Since I am dead, the Tianyuan army is leaderless, and it is logical to withdraw, as long as the defenders in Yancheng still have some blood and utility. We will definitely not miss this perfect opportunity and will use all our strength to go out of the city to pursue and kill the enemy. We cannot attack the enemy because of Yancheng's city defense. Once they come out, our army can engage in a head-on battle and completely annihilate the enemy. Not a problem. In addition, when the whole army retreats, you can also separate a group of troops and go around Yancheng. After the enemy troops leave the city to pursue our army, you can take the opportunity to attack the city. You can discuss the details with the generals. deploy."

After saying this long speech, Tang Yin was exhausted, heaved a long sigh, and closed his eyes.

After Qiu Zhen heard this, his eyes flashed with light. Did he pretend to die to trick the Yancheng defenders into leaving the city? This is really a strange plan. Qiu Zhenduo was smart and quickly realized that Tang Yin's plan was very feasible. He pondered for a moment and said quickly: "My lord, this is a very clever plan."

Tang Yin didn't open his eyes, he just waved his hands casually and said, "If it's feasible, let's do it!"

"Yes! Sir, I will go and summon the generals right away."

"kindness."

Qiu Zhen did not delay in the tent, and quickly walked out of the camp and went to the central military tent to gather the generals and counselors.

After he left, Su Yelei looked at Tang Yin in surprise, as if she didn't recognize him. Su Yelei didn't know how to use soldiers, but she could tell that Tang Yin's strategy was very clever. In her mind, Tang Yin was a man who was brave but not very smart. She didn't expect that he could come up with such a tactic even when he was seriously injured. I have to look at him with admiration.

Tang Yin didn't open his eyes, but he could still feel Su Yelei staring at him intently. He asked calmly: "What? Do you think of me differently again?"

Su Yelei's jade face suddenly turned red when he told the central issue. Fortunately, Tang Yin had his eyes closed, otherwise he would have been amused by her at a loss.

"Take good care of your injuries! If you do that much, be careful, it will be a fake show!" Su Yelei cursed with a 'bad intention'.

"..." Tang Yin smiled but said nothing.

Let's talk about Qiu Zhen, now that Tang Yin is not here, he takes the main seat in the Zhongjun tent. After all the counselors and generals had arrived, Qiu Zhen told Tang Yin's plan in detail, and then asked: "What do you think of my plan?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then said in unison: "Brilliant! This... is this really what you came up with?"

In fact, in the hearts of the generals, Tang Yin was not a person who could lead troops in war, but he was able to accept advice very well, which was very remarkable.

After listening to everyone's questions, Qiu Zhen smiled. Even he could not believe that this was a trick that Tang Yin came up with. He nodded and said, "This is indeed the strategy your lord has in mind." After a pause, he added, "Since everyone has no objections, let's follow your lord's strategy!"

"Yes!" Everyone raised their hands in unison.

After Qiu Zhen ordered everyone to go back, he told the soldiers below that his Excellency had unfortunately died, and asked all the soldiers to pay filial piety. In addition, he arranged for Wu Guang and Zhan Hu to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to guard the entire army. When retreating, they quietly ambush in the forest ten miles east of Yancheng. Once the Yancheng defenders leave the city, they can take the opportunity to attack the city.
