Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of Tang Yin in the Other World!

Tang Yin treated everyone who came with courtesy, and the people who were originally nervous were relieved. They sat on the seats and toasted Tang Yin again and again.

After Tang Yin drank several cups in a row, he put down the wine glass, looked around at everyone, and cleared his throat.

Knowing that he had something to say, everyone stopped talking and looked at him. Tang Yin smiled with satisfaction and said, "I am the head of Feng State and loyal to the previous king. Zhong Tian killed the king and usurped the throne. In my opinion, it is a great treason that deserves death. I wonder what you think?"

Don't say that everyone has long hated Zhong Tian's actions. Even if they like him, they dare not say it directly in front of Tang Yin. Hearing his words, people all bowed and said, "Lord Tang, Zhong Tian killed the emperor and betrayed the country, he should be punished by heaven and earth!"

Tang Yin nodded and smiled, "Since Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the people of Lehu County have suffered greatly, and your life must have been difficult, but now it's good. Lehu County has been recovered by our Tianyuan Army. In the future, everything will return to the original appearance of Feng State, and you don't have to live in fear anymore."

This was said to everyone's heart. When Geng Qiang controlled Lehu County, people almost didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would be arrested and secretly killed by the government army if they said something wrong. When Tang Yin finished speaking, many people had left their seats and knelt on the ground, sighing, "Dafeng has a loyal minister like Lord Tang, which is really a blessing for Dafeng and the people of Feng State!"

Tang Yin smiled leisurely and was about to speak. At this time, Qiu Zhen, who was sitting on his left, winked at him repeatedly and glared at the people who knelt down from time to time. Tang Yin was so smart that he immediately understood what Qiu Zhen meant. He stood up in a pretentious manner, walked to the crowd, stretched out his hand, politely helped everyone up one by one, and said solemnly: "The country is in trouble, and anyone with a conscience should contribute to the country. Although I am not talented, I cannot sit idly by and watch the country perish, the traitors are in power, and the people are suffering. Even if I die in pieces, I will repay the kindness of the previous king and do my best for Dafeng."

His words were so high-sounding that they made everyone admire, excited and ashamed. Even Qiu Zhen was shocked. He didn't expect Tang Yin to say such an impassioned speech. He signaled the chief clerk of the army to record Tang Yin's words so that they could be used as a book to show the world in the future.

"Your Excellency is really a pillar of Dafeng!" Everyone who was originally helped up by Tang Yin knelt down again.

Tang Yin smiled secretly. He had heard too many such hypocritical and righteous words in modern times. Now it was quite smooth for him to say it. He smiled slightly and said, "Most of the soldiers in my Tianyuan Army are righteous men who joined the army from various counties and prefectures. They have received favors from the people, so they should naturally repay the people. Xibai City has suffered from the war in the past few days. I decided to withdraw silver from the silver treasury in the city and provide two taels of silver to each household. If there are casualties in the war, ten taels of silver will be provided!" This policy is nothing to those famous families, but it makes the people with high reputations very excited. This is undoubtedly great news. Since Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the people of Xibai City have suffered greatly, and their lives are difficult and miserable. If every household can get two taels of silver, it will solve the big problem of people's lives. "Your Excellency is wise! I thank you on behalf of the people in the city!" Several old men in the crowd knelt down again and kowtowed repeatedly. The people don't care who rules them, as long as they can have food to eat and live a stable life, the people are satisfied. As for whether the ruler is good or evil, good or bad, it doesn't matter, at best it's just a topic of conversation after dinner.

Tang Yin's policy of opening the treasury to release silver was not his original intention, but Qiu Zhen's.

In the battle of Xibaicheng, the Tianyuan Army suffered many casualties, and the manpower was seriously reduced. Many corps were already incomplete and had to be replenished in a short time. How to replenish? Of course, it is best to have the local people of Xibaicheng join the army, and replenishment is also the fastest, so that more time can be saved to train new soldiers.

Soon, the news of Tang Yin's supply of silver to the people of the whole city spread, and he did put it into action. In the end, there was not much silver left from the silver treasury of Xibaicheng, and it was basically distributed to the people of Xibaicheng.

Of course, the reason why the Tianyuan Army is so generous is that, first, they want to set an example of loving the people in Xibai City, so that the people of the whole county and even the whole country know that the Tianyuan Army is different from Zhongtian, and is a military force that can truly care about the people. Secondly, and most importantly, the Tianyuan Army is not short of money now, but only lacks military food. With the current fiscal revenue, the tax revenue of Tianyuan County alone can solve most of the military pay of the Tianyuan Army.

The Tianyuan Army rested in Xibai City while exercising benevolent governance, which greatly improved the reputation of the Tianyuan Army. Not only did Xibai City restore the grand occasion of the Feng Kingdom period, but the people who came to join the army also increased in a straight line, almost every day.

Although Zhongtian is the king of Peng Kingdom at present, it seems that he is using the power of the whole country to deal with the Tianyuan Army, but in fact the situation is just the opposite. In terms of the most important military force in the war, Zhongtian has already lost miserably. At present, the Yancheng Central Army has many difficulties in collecting military forces, while the Tianyuan Army is a call for hundreds of people to respond to the whole country. In terms of replenishing the war damage, the speed of the Tianyuan Army was much faster than that of the Zhongtian forces.

The main force of the Tianyuan Army was resting in Xibai City, and Tang Yin also got a rare period of leisure time. The problem of food and grass was solved, as if a huge rock pressing on him was removed, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

On this day, Tang Yin took a walk in the courtyard of the county capital and also visited Geng Qiang's official residence. Although Geng Qiang was arrogant and ruled Lehu County with iron-blooded skills, he was still relatively clean and honest. The decoration of the county capital was not very luxurious. What surprised Tang Yin most was that there were money, gold, silver and jewelry stored in the bank of the county capital. It's not much, but he has accumulated a lot of food, which shows that Geng Qiang is not a greedy person. It's just a pity that he is too loyal to Zhong Tian.

When Tang Yin went to the front yard, he found Qiu Zhen playing chess with Zhang Zhe, while Zong Yuan stood aside and watched with a smile. Tang Yin walked over and looked down at the chess game, but he didn't understand it. He was not interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Qiu Zhen and the others played Feng chess with complicated rules, which Tang Yin didn't understand at all.

Seeing Tang Yin coming, Qiu Zhen and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted. Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can continue playing chess and don't worry about me!"

Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe responded and sat back on the stone bench. While playing chess, Qiu Zhen asked, "What are your plans next?"

"When the new recruits are almost fully trained, we will continue to go south, capture Yancheng, and completely eliminate Zhong Tian's forces!" Tang Yin said confidently. Of course he is confident now. The Tianyuan Army currently needs men, money, and food. It lacks nothing. It seems to Tang Yin that it is a matter of course for them to take advantage of the victory and go south to capture Yancheng in one fell swoop.

Qiu Zhen shook his head with a smile, threw the chess piece in his hand on the table, looked up at Tang Yin, and said, "Sir, I don't think now is the time to attack Yancheng!"

"Oh?" As soon as he said this, Tang Yin was stunned. Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan also looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words.

Qiu Zhense said: "It is easy for you to capture Yancheng, but if you want to completely eliminate Zhongtian's forces and the Ningguo army, it will be a little difficult!"

"how do I say this?"

"Yancheng is too big. With the strength of our army, it is difficult to encircle Yancheng. We can only attack one side. If the battle situation is unfavorable and Zhong Tian suddenly escapes, it will be difficult for you to catch him again!"

oh? Tang Yin took a breath and pondered silently for a moment. He looked up and smiled and said: "Where can Zhong Tian escape to? The four counties in the north of Yancheng are already under the control of our army. Although there are two counties in the east of Yancheng, they are death places. , and further east is the sea. There are three counties to the west of Yancheng, but it is also a dead end. As long as Liang Qi and Yuan Rang can block Tongmen, they can cut off the road to Ningguo. As for the south of Yancheng..." Speaking of Along the way, Tang Yin frowned and said nothing.

Qiu Zhen continued what he said: "There are four counties south of Yancheng. Although they may not be loyal to Zhong Tian, ​​the heads of the four counties have never clearly expressed their opposition to Zhong Tian. If Zhong Tian wants to escape, he will definitely choose to go south. Escape. If you don’t pursue me, that’s it. If you continue to pursue south, Zhong Tian will probably follow Ning’s army all the way south and escape to Mo Country. By then, will you be able to command the army to pursue Mo Country?”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan both nodded their heads and secretly admired the profoundness of Qiu Zhen's plan. yes! What should we do once Zhong Tian and Ning Jun escape south and enter Mo Country? Mo State is a vassal state with the same strength as Ning State. If you lead a large army into Mo State rashly, it will definitely trigger a national war, which we absolutely cannot afford.

Qiu Zhen said quietly: "Ning Mo and Ning Mo have always been on good terms. If Ning Jun really takes Zhong Tian and flees to Mo Country, Mo Country will definitely take them in. If Zhong Tian borrows a road from Mo Country to Ning Country, he will try to arrest them again." It is impossible for this person to survive. If Zhong Tian survives, the consequences will be endless. You must make arrangements as soon as possible!"

Tang Yin rolled his eyes, nodded slowly, and asked, "Master Qiu, in your opinion, how should I arrange it?"

Qiu Zhen asked: "What is the only way to go from Dafeng to Mo Country?"

"Baguan?"

"Yes, it's Ba Pass! As long as our army can control Ba Pass, we can cut off the passage to Mo Country. If I remember correctly, your Excellency has a good relationship with General Yingbu, the guard of Ba Pass. Now, your Excellency, you should hurry up Get this person to our side!”

"Yes!" Tang Yin and Ying Bu actually only met once, but they hit it off and cherished each other. Moreover, when Tang Yin purchased military horses from Mo Country, Ying Bu also gave the green light and helped a lot. In Tang Yin's opinion, it is not difficult to win Yingbu over to his side.

He nodded and murmured: "There is a high chance of success in winning over Yingbu."

"But that's not enough!" Qiu Zhen added. "My lord, there is still something that must be done, and it must be done well and securely!"
