Tang Yin treated everyone who came forward with courtesy, and everyone who was initially wary and timid became relieved, sat on their seats, and toasted to Tang Yin.

After Tang Yin drank several glasses of wine, he put down his glass, looked around at everyone, and cleared his throat.

Knowing that he had something to say, everyone here stopped talking and looked at him. Tang Yin smiled with satisfaction and said: "I am the head of the Feng Kingdom, and I am also loyal to the late king. In my opinion, Zhong Tian committed regicide and usurped the throne.

Come on, this is a treason worthy of death, I wonder what you think of it?"

Not to mention that everyone already hated Zhong Tian for what he had done. Even if they liked him, they would not dare to speak out in front of Tang Yin. After hearing his words, people all raised their hands and said, "Master Tang, Zhong Tian has committed regicide and treason. He should indeed be punished by heaven and earth."

!”

Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "Since Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the people of Lehu County have suffered greatly. Your life must not be easy, but it is better now. Lehu County has been recovered by our Tianyuan Army, and everything will be better in the future."

Restore Feng Country to its original appearance, and you no longer need to live in fear."

These words spoke to everyone's heart. When Geng Qiang controlled Lehu County, people almost did not dare to speak, for fear that if they said anything wrong, they would be captured and secretly killed by the officers and soldiers. When Tang Yin finished speaking, many people

They all left the table and knelt down, sighing: "Dafeng has such a loyal minister like Mr. Tang. It is really a blessing for me, Dafeng, and a blessing for the people of Feng Country!"

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 sneered at the kneeling people from time to time. How smart Tang Yin was, he immediately understood what Qiu Zhen meant, so he pretended to do it.

He stood up like this, walked up to everyone, stretched out his hand, politely helped everyone up one by one, and said seriously: "The country is in trouble, but all those who have not forgotten their conscience should contribute to the country. Although I don't

Talent, but I cannot sit back and watch the country perish, traitors take over, and the people are in ruins. Even if my body is shattered to pieces and my body is wrapped in horse leather, I still want to repay the kindness of the late king for knowing me and do my best for me."

The high-sounding words he said made everyone admire, be excited and feel ashamed. Even Qiu Zhen was startled. He didn't expect that Tang Yin could say such impassioned words. He signaled to the army chief,

Record Tang Yin's words so that they can be used as a letter to Zhao Tianxia in the future.

"Your Excellency, you are truly a pillar of my talent in Dafeng!" Everyone who had been helped up by Tang Yin fell to their knees one after another.

Tang Yin secretly laughed in his heart. He had heard too much of this kind of hypocritical talk in modern times, and now it was quite smooth for him to say it himself. He smiled slightly and said: "Most of our Tianyuan Army officers and soldiers are from various counties.

The martyrs who joined the army from various counties have been kind to the people, and they should naturally repay the kindness to the people. Hundreds of cities in the west have been suffering from the war for several days. I decided to withdraw silver taels from the city's treasury and provide each household with two taels of silver.

Liang, if there are any casualties in the war, supply ten liang of silver!"

This policy is nothing to those famous families, but it makes the people with high reputations extremely excited. This is undoubtedly great news. Since Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the people of the Western Hundred Cities have suffered greatly from it, and their lives have been affected.

The people are in poverty and cannot make a living. If every household can get two taels of silver, it can solve the big problem of people's life.

"My lord 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 will be satisfied. As for whether the ruler is good or evil, good or bad, it doesn't matter at best.

It's just a conversation piece after dinner.

Tang Yin's policy of opening up treasury and releasing silver was not his original intention, but Qiu Zhen's intention.

In the Battle of Xibaicheng, the Tianyuan Army suffered a lot of casualties, and the number of troops was severely reduced. Many regiments were already incomplete and had to be replenished in a short time. How to replenish them? Of course, it is best to recruit local people from Xibaicheng into the army.

, it is also the fastest to replenish, thus saving more time to train new recruits.

Soon, the news about Tang Yin's supply of silver to the people in the city spread, and he actually took action. In the end, not much of the silver seized from the bank of Xibaicheng was left, and most of it was distributed to the people of Xibaicheng.

They are.

Of course, the reason why the Tianyuan Army is so generous is to set an example of loving the people in Xibai City, so that the people in the county and even the whole country know that the Tianyuan Army is different from Zhong Tian. It is an army that can truly serve the people.

The military power for the sake of the common people, secondly, and most importantly, the Tianyuan Army is not short of money now, it is just short of military rations. With the current fiscal revenue, the tax revenue of Tianyuan County alone can cover most of the military salary of the Tianyuan Army.

.

While the Tianyuan Army was recuperating in Xibaicheng, it also implemented benevolent policies. This greatly improved the reputation of Tianyuan Army. Not only did Xibaicheng return to its grandeur during the Feng Kingdom period, but the number of people who came to join the army also increased in a straight line, almost

There is an endless stream of people every day.

Although Zhong Tian is currently the king of the Peng Kingdom, it seems that he is using the power of the whole country to deal with the Tianyuan Army. In fact, the situation is exactly the opposite. In terms of military strength, which is the most important aspect of the war, Zhong Tian has already lost completely. At present, the Yancheng Central Army

There are many difficulties in raising troops, but the Tianyuan Army responds to one call and the whole country responds. In terms of replenishing battle losses, the Tianyuan Army is much faster than Zhong Tian's forces.

The main force of the Tianyuan Army rested in Xibai City, and Tang Yin also got a rare free time. The problem of food and grass was solved. It was as if a huge boulder pressing on him had been removed, and he 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 the decoration of the county capital was not very luxurious.

, what surprised Tang Yin the most was that there was not much gold, silver, and jewelry stored in the county capital's bank, but a lot of grain. This 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. 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 interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.

He wasn't interested in it at all, and Qiu Zhen and the others were playing 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 hands 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 people, money, and food.

With food and nothing lacking, Tang Yin thought that taking advantage of the victory and going south to capture Yancheng was a matter of course.

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 still under the control of our army.

It is a dead place, and to the 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 the road, 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 me southward, Zhong Tian will most likely follow the Ning army all the way south and escape to Mo Country. By then, will you be able to command the army and enter Mo Country to pursue him?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan both nodded their heads and secretly admired Qiu Zhen's far-reaching plan. Yes! Once Zhong Tian and Ning Jun escape south, what should they do if they enter Mo Country? Mo Country is about the same strength as Ning Country.

If the vassal states of Mo rashly lead a large army into Mo, 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 people to reach this point. If Zhong Tian does not die, there will be endless troubles. Your Excellency 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

Win this person over to our side!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin and Ying Bu actually only met once, but they hit it off and cherished each other. Moreover, Ying Bu also gave Tang Yin the green light to purchase military horses from Mo State, which was a great help. He attracted Ying Bu to his side.

Bian, it's not difficult in Tang Yin's opinion.

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