Chapter 758
The An army completely evacuated Yujing, which surprised Tang Yin. Such a large county town is located in the center of Chuankou County. The An army gave up just like that. Do they have the determination to fight to the death with us?
Tang Yin was confused about what the other party was planning, but it was a good thing to occupy Yujing without a single soldier or a single gun. TXT download.
Tang Yin immediately ordered the Ninth Army to garrison outside the city, the New Army to enter the city, and he himself led the Feng Army to enter Yujing.
It cannot be said that there were no casualties when the Feng Army occupied Yujing. After all, when Qi Heng led the heavy cavalry into the city, he also trampled to death and injured many local people. After Tang Yin entered the city and understood the situation, he immediately asked people to post a notice to compensate those innocent victims. His main purpose was to appease the An people. No matter what tricks the An army was playing, it was always right for us to occupy a place and consolidate it.
In the county capital. After Tang Yin dealt with some trivial matters, he asked Le Tian and Ai Jia: "Do you two know where the main force of the An army has gone now?"
Le Tian and Ai Jia both shook their heads. Some time ago, the spies of Sky Eye and Ground Network focused their main energy on the exploration of Chigou, and ignored the movements of the An army in Yujing.
Seeing that the two of them could not answer, Tang Yin frowned and said: "Go and check it now. Within five days, I must know where the main force of the An army is!"
Le Tian and Ai Jia's faces became serious, and they hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes! King! I will send someone to find out!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin waved to them, then tapped his forehead and murmured: "Where did the An army escape to..."
Soon, Tang Yin's doubts were answered. Within five days, Sky Eye and Ground Network both sent back news that the An army in Yujing had all withdrawn to the border between Andi and Chuanguo, and were now stationed in Guankou City.
Guankou City is an important border town of Anguo, and also the most important gateway of Anguo to Chuanguo. The location of Guankou City is rather special, with Muye Mountain on one side and Heitou Mountain on the other side, and it is just between the two mountain ranges.
Muye Mountain and Heitou Mountain are 50 miles apart, with a 50-mile plain area between them, and Guankou City is located in the center of the plain area. It can be said that Guankou City is not steep, and there is no natural barrier to rely on, but its location is extremely important.
It has always been used as a military fortress by Anguo. Not only is the city high and the city defense strong, but it has also been stockpiling heavy troops for many years. Now, almost all the local troops of Chuankou County are gathered here.
According to the intelligence detected by the Sky Eye and the Ground Network, the current garrison in Guankou City is close to 100,000, among which there are a large number of remnants of the Anguo Central Army.
A small border town in Andi seems insignificant, but Tang Yin cannot ignore it.
Guankou City failed to completely block the passage between Andi and Chuan State, but it happened to be located in the center of this passage. It was like a nail nailed here. In the future, whether the Feng Army went south to attack Chuan State or the Chuan Army went north to attack Feng State, it would be such an important strategic location. Tang Yin would certainly not give up. Even if there were more An troops stationed there and the city was difficult to attack, he had to do his best to keep it firmly in his hands.
Feeling that the future battle in Guankou City would be difficult, the Ninth Army and the New Army led by Tang Yin stayed in Yujing for a long time. At the same time, he sent letters to the Pingyuan Army and the Tianying Army attacking Hengshui and Zhuyang counties, urgently dispatching the two armies to Chuankou County to fight the last battle with the An Army stationed in Guankou City.
Tang Yin led his army all the way to Yujing and occupied most of Chuankou County. Now looking at the whole battle situation, he suddenly found that the main force of the An Army had never fought a head-on confrontation with his side.
The battle between the two sides has always been led by the Feng army, while the An army retreated and used harassment and ambush tactics to delay time.
Before, he couldn't figure out why the An army wanted to delay time. Now, he roughly understood the An army's intention. The other side was buying time to defend the Guankou City. More than 100,000 troops were stationed there, and it was unknown how long the war would last. The An army had too many things to stockpile. In addition to food and armaments, there must be rolling logs, pounding stones, and medicines needed to defend the city. It naturally takes time to stockpile these in large quantities. I think this is the main reason for the An army's delaying tactics.
It can also be seen from this that the An army retreating to Guankou City intends to hold on here for a long time. Tang Yin also has his reasons for mobilizing the Pingyuan Army and the Tianying Army to rush to Kawaguchi County.
It is estimated that it will take at least one month for the Pingyuan Army and the Tianying Army to arrive in Yujing. During this period, the Ninth Army and the New Army can just fill in the new recruits and replenish their respective supplies.
Tang Yin could not stay in the county capital for only a few days. On this day, he took Ah San, Ah Si, and Yin Lan with him and went out in casual clothes to stroll around the city.
Yujing is the county capital. Its area and prosperity are second to none in Chuankou County. Because it borders Chuan State, there are many merchants in Yujing City who speak with Chuan State accents.
Tang Yin and his four companions came out very early and happened to catch up with the market in the east city of Yujing. There were many vendors on both sides of the street, and people were coming and going on the road. It was very lively.
He and Ah San and Ah Si just looked around and didn't buy anything. However, Yin Lan bought a lot of small things and was also very happy.
After leaving the market, Tang Yin looked up and saw a restaurant in front of him. He patted his stomach and smiled, "I'm hungry after walking around for a long time. Let's go and have something to eat."
Ah San, Ah Si, and Yin Lan nodded in unison and followed Tang Yin to the restaurant. This restaurant has a large facade and is spacious inside. It is divided into two floors, and two courtyards at the front and back.
Tang Yin and others went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window to sit down. Asan and Asi were sitting opposite Tang Yin and Yin Lan, one of them was looking out the window, and the other was looking around. Even if the land was peaceful, the two of them didn't dare to be too careless.
After Yin Lan sat down, her face was still full of excitement. She put all the things she bought aside. Tang Yin glanced at her with a smile, smiled secretly, "Woman..." and then turned to look at the street outside the window.
"Sir, An Di's things are exquisite. Even an ordinary bamboo hairpin has lifelike birds carved on it." Yin Lan praised happily and handed the bamboo hairpin to Tang Yin's eyes like a treasure.
The latter took it with a smile, took it in his hand and looked at it. He felt that the carving was very good, but he was not too interested. He said casually: "If you like it, buy more. If you don't have enough money, just put it in my account." alright."
When Yin Lan heard this, the light in her eyes became brighter, but she immediately sighed like a frustrated rubber ball and muttered: "Young Master should have told you earlier, the market is closed now, and I still have a lot of things I like that I don't dare to buy. !”
Tang Yin didn't mind her complaints and said with a smile, "Then wait until tomorrow to buy it."
"Yes, thank you sir!" Yin Lan smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly.
While talking, the waiter brought the food to the table. Tang Yin and others just started to use their chopsticks when another group of diners came up below. With the appearance of these people, Ah San, Ah Si, and Yin Lan all became vigilant.
Even without insight, they can feel the spiritual pressure emanating from the other party, and the spiritual pressure of the other party will cause a strong sense of oppression and suffocation. They are obviously spiritual martial arts masters.
Although they were eating with their heads down, Ah San, Ah Si and Yin Lan were also looking at each other furtively. There are five of them in total, one is younger and the other is older. The other one is wearing a black veil, so his appearance cannot be seen.
After seeing clearly the appearance of the young man among them, Ah San, Ah Si, and Yin Lan were both startled. It wasn't that he was too weird, but that he was too handsome.
This young man's face is as white as jade, with not even a spot to be found on his face. He has a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, thick but not heavy, flying diagonally into his temples. He is full of heroic appearance. His big eyes below are like two gems, crystal clear and bright. He has a spirit, a high nose, and light red lips. He is such an outstandingly handsome man that anyone who sees him can't help but take a second look at him.
As for the three elderly people, although they look different, they all give people a gloomy feeling.
Ah San and Ah Si looked at them for a moment, then looked away, and then both looked at Yin Lan opposite. Seeing that she was still staring at the handsome young man, they looked at each other and smiled. Ah Si teased in a low voice: "Miss Lan is the one who caught the eye. Someone else?”
Yin Lan came back to her senses, raised her head, curled her lips slightly, didn't say anything, just snorted coldly.
Seeing Yin Lan's eyes clearly, Ah San and Ah Si were both stunned. There was no obsession in her eyes, but full of hostility. They were quite surprised that she had just come to eat, and she didn't bother her. If you mess with her, how can she become hostile?
Tang Yin also felt something strange about Yin Lan. Originally, he had no interest in these five people. Regardless of whether they were spiritual cultivators or not, as long as they didn't offend him, they had nothing to do with them. It was just Yin Lan's rejection of them that caught his attention. .
He turned his head and looked at the five people. The handsome young man was startled for a moment, then nodded politely to Tang Yin with a smile.
Tang Yin also thought to himself what a handsome young man he was. He raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and nodded in response.
The handsome young man was a very warm-hearted person. When he saw Tang Yin responding to him, he immediately stood up, walked forward, held his hands with a smile and asked, "Brother, are you a native of Yujing?"
Before Tang Yin could speak, Yin Lan had already stood up, stood in front of the handsome young man, and stared at him coldly.
Seeing this, the handsome young man hurriedly bowed his hands to Yin Lan and said with a slight smile: "This girl, please be polite."
Yin Lansheng didn't say a word, still staring at him with cold eyes.
Tang Yin secretly shook his head, gently pulled down Yin Lan's sleeves to signal her not to be nervous, and then said to the handsome young man, "I've come from a long way too."
