Chapter 201

Let’s talk about the latest chapters of Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang. Late that night, the two men led 50,000 troops under their direct control quietly out of their camp, and quickly headed to Jinhua City, guided by the scouting horses of Tianyan and Diwang.

Jinhua City is located on the main traffic road, at a three-way intersection. Three official roads converge here. One side faces the mountains, and the other side is the forest swamp area. Entering Jinguang County, if you don't go through Jinhua City, you have to take a detour if you want to go to Guannan County. But this detour is too far, and the road is difficult to walk, which is extremely unfavorable for marching. Once a detour is chosen, most of the military supplies will be thrown away.

In order to rush to Jinhua City ahead of Ning's army, Tang Yin did not bother to cover up others' eyes and marched day and night, traveling all the way. Jinguang County has long been changed to the flag of Peng State, and the officers and soldiers have changed into red uniforms. Tang Yin's tens of thousands of wind troops penetrated into the hinterland of Jinguang County and immediately caused riots. However, Jinguang County no longer had any troops available, which gave Tang Yin great convenience. , not to mention not encountering any obstruction on the way, and in all the cities they passed, the city lords took the lead in surrendering, and passed directly through the city without any effort.

After marching for three days, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang led their troops to Jinhua City.

The city lord of Jinhua City was frightened when he heard that a large group of Fengjun had arrived outside the city. The crowds were huge and boundless. He didn’t know how the Fengjun from Tianyuan County reached his place, but he understood that with the current Jinguang With less than a thousand officers and soldiers in the city, they cannot resist the opponent no matter what.

He didn't even think about it, didn't say hello to the people below, packed up his belongings at home, and ran away with his family first. The city lord was gone, and the officers and soldiers below could not guard the city. The deputy city lord led the officials in the city, Open the city gate and surrender to Tang Yin and others.

After seeing the officers and soldiers in Golden Light City, Tang Yin didn't even bother to collect their weapons. Most of these officers and soldiers were old, weak, sick, and disabled. They looked listless and had no fighting spirit, and they did not pose a threat to their own side at all. He led the army and entered the Golden Light City directly as if no one else was around.

Hearing that the city lord had run away, Tang Yin laughed in his heart and ordered his soldiers to bring all the officials from Jinguang City over.

These officials didn't know what Tang Yin was going to do. They were frightened, their legs were shaking, and they all had their heads down, not daring to look Tang Yin in the face.

Tang Yin looked around at everyone, and then said, "Do you know who I am?"

The officials looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Tang Yin's face, and they slowly shook their heads. In their opinion, although the general in front of them was wearing gorgeous clothes and steel armor, he was still young and did not look very tall and majestic. It was assumed that his official rank in Tianyuan County was not high.

Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "I am Tang Yin!"

ah? Hearing the word Tang Yin, all the officials were shocked, and some even couldn't believe that his words were true. Tang Yin is the governor of Tianyuan County and the first person to oppose Zhong Tian. Isn't he fighting Zhong Wen? Why did you suddenly arrive at Jinhua City? This is so unreasonable.

Seeing what everyone was thinking, Tang Yin stopped his smile, glanced at them coldly, and said: "I come here for my own purpose. Why, you are only an official in one city, so you don't need to salute when you see the county capital. ?"

After hearing this, everyone was frightened and hurriedly knelt down. They raised their hands and said in unison with great respect: "I have seen the county chief!"

"Hmph!" Tang Yin curled his lips and snorted, then said: "I don't dare to take it! You are officials of Peng State, and I am the county chief of Feng State. Different countries have different ministers. How can I bear your great gift? ?”

All the officials were trembling and kowtowed one after another: "Master Tang, I have no choice but to accept the official position of Peng State! Even the county chief has bowed his head to Zhong Tian. As a city official, I can't speak lightly while waiting for my position." , there is no other way!”

They are telling the truth. If good-looking Feng people and Feng officials don't do it, whoever wants to be the so-called Peng people or Peng officials, but they also have to support their families. If they don't accept it, the lighter ones will be removed from their posts, and the severe ones will be severely punished. If they are not good, their family members will be implicated, so even if they are stigmatized and even if they are poked in the back by the common people, they have to bite the bullet and hold on.

Tang Yin looked at the sad faces of the city officials, he nodded and said: "I will no longer care about what you did before, but now that I have come to Jinhua City, this is Fengdi, my Dafeng." Chengchi, do you have any objections?"

"No! No one!" Everyone said in unison.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "If any of you are leaning toward Peng Country, just say it now. Not only will I not make it difficult for you, I will also let you and your family go." As he spoke, he slowly scanned everyone's faces. However, he did not let go of any subtle expression of everyone, and at the same time asked, 'Well? ’ made a sound.

After listening to Tang Yin's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed again, saying in a trembling voice: "I only hope to resume my title of Dafeng as soon as possible. How can I hope to continue to be a Peng official? Your Excellency will kill us!"

kindness! Tang Yin nodded secretly. If he wanted to resist the Ningguo army in Jinhua City, he would have to rely on the strength of the local people. If the people were to help, the coordination and assistance of these local officials would be indispensable. Of course, Tang Yin had to first determine their position, whether they were loyal to Feng or Peng.

Seeing everyone's sincere words and firm eyes, Tang Yin felt relieved. He waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please get up!"

"Yes! Mr. Tang!" Everyone vomited and got up from the ground.

Tang Yin said seriously: "The main force of our Tianyuan Army is fighting against the Central Army headed by the rebellious minister Zhong Wen. I led the troops to Jinhua City for another purpose."

Deng Xuan, the deputy city lord of Jinhua City, raised his hands and asked: "I wonder... what is your purpose? Can you tell me something?"

Tang Yin shrugged and said bluntly: "To stop Ning's army from moving north."

"Huh?" Deng Xuan and the surrounding officials were shocked and couldn't help but secretly grin. Deng Xuan said: "As far as I know, the Ning army has 400,000 people, and it is commanded by two brothers, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, the generals of Ning State..."

Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin interrupted and said: "The enemy's army is running rampant in our territory of Dafeng, coming and going freely. As Feng people, don't you feel ashamed? What do you have to fear from the 400,000 Ning army? In my eyes, it’s just a piece of cake.”

Everyone's faces turned red at what he said, and they all lowered their heads.

Tang Yin continued: "Now that the country is in danger, all wise people in the country should work together with me to resist foreign enemies. If we win this battle, the restoration of the strong wind will be just around the corner. If we cannot win this battle, our lives will be small. The Feng Kingdom There will never be a peaceful day. My lords, whether you want to be a loyal soldier who will go down in history or be a lackey of the Ning people, you can choose for yourself!"

After speaking, Tang Yin turned around and stopped looking at them.

The officials have complicated emotions. It is a life-or-death moment, and it is very difficult for no matter who makes the decision. After a while, Deng Xuan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet with determination. He knelt down again with a plop and said loudly: "I am willing to help you resist the Ning army. I will do whatever it takes to save you!"

With him taking the lead in expressing his stance, other officials also made up their mind, knelt down and said in unison: "We are willing to work with you to resist the Ning army!"

"Okay!" After hearing this, Tang Yin immediately turned around, stepped forward, helped everyone up one by one, and said with a smile: "All of you are worthy of being citizens of the Feng Kingdom! With your help, we can get twice the result with half the effort, and we can resist the Ning Kingdom's army. "

"Sir, if you need my help somewhere, just ask!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in response, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How is the current defense of Jinhua City?"

Deng Xuan said hurriedly: "There are currently no city defense facilities on the city wall, and they are all stored in the city treasury."

Tang Yin thought for a moment and said, "City Lord Deng, I do need your help."

"What do you want me to do, sir?"

"First of all, seal the whole city. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy."

"Yes! Sir!"

"Also, organize the people in the city to move all the weapons and equipment in the arsenal that can be used to defend the city to the top of the city."

"yes!"

"In addition, I will immediately send people to the villages and towns around Jinhua City to collect grain and grass. I will collect as much as possible for our army's hoarding. If anyone refuses to hand it over, we can take it by force. When Ning Bing retreats in the future, I will repay you twice as much." !”

"clear!"

Tang Yin issued orders one after another and made all the preparations he could think of. Then, Deng Xuan and others took the orders one after another and carried out step by step according to Tang Yin's wishes. Tang Yin's thinking was correct. With the full assistance of these local officials, it would be easier to do things with less effort. As soon as the people of Jinhua heard that they were helping the Feng Army to resist the Ning Army, people spontaneously came out to help without much mobilization. The men helped transport supplies, the women helped with cooking, and even the people in the surrounding villages and towns also spontaneously donated food. Donating materials and sincerely hoping that the Feng army can win and expel the Ning people.

With the help of local people, this helped Tang Yin a lot. He led 50,000 soldiers to come all night long. The soldiers were exhausted. At this time, they could seize the time to have a good rest and replenish their physical strength to cope with the crisis that was coming at any time. Ning Jun.

At this time, Ning Jun did not know that the 50,000 Tianyuan Army led by Tang Yin had occupied Jinhua City. They only knew that Zhong Wen was confronting the main force of the Tianyuan Army. They were not in a hurry and wanted to let Zhong Wen consume more of the Tianyuan Army's strength. Due to this idea, the 400,000 Ning army marched slowly, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers below was not strong. The entire army did not look like they were going to fight, but more like they were visiting Jinguang County to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Tang Yin and his men prepared in Jinhua City for two days before Ning Jun got the news that the main force of Tianyuan Army suddenly went south and had captured Jinhua City. The generals of the Ning Army did not take it seriously when they heard the news. The Tianyuan Army was clearly fighting Zhong Wen at the junction of the two counties, so how could they suddenly come to Jinhua City?

This news is 10% false news.

After getting the news, Ning Jun continued to march unhurriedly, and it was not until the fourth day that he arrived at Jinhua City.
