Let's talk about Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang. Late that night, the two men led 50,000 direct troops out of their camp quietly, and headed for Jinhua City quickly with the scout horses of Tianyan and Diwang leading the way.
Jinhua City is located on the main road of transportation. It is located at a three-way intersection. Three official roads converge here. One side faces the mountains and the other side is the forest swamp area. When entering Jinguang County, if you do not 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 we choose to detour, 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. Jinguang County had long been changed to the flag of Peng State, and the officers and soldiers had changed into red uniforms. Tang Yin's tens of thousands of soldiers went deep into the city.
In the hinterland of Jinguang County, riots immediately broke out. However, Jinguang County had no troops available. This gave Tang Yin great convenience. There was no obstruction on the way, and in all the cities he passed, the city lords took the lead in surrendering, and he surrendered without any effort.
Go directly through the city.
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 Feng troops had arrived outside the city. The crowds were huge and boundless. He didn't know how the Feng troops from Tianyuan County reached him, but he understood that with the current Jinguang
A city with less than a thousand officers and soldiers cannot resist the opponent no matter what.
He didn't even think about it, didn't say hello to the people below, and packed up the belongings at home. He took his family and ran away. 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 Jinguang 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. They did not pose a threat to their own side at all. He commanded the army as if there was no one else around.
Enter directly into Golden Light City.
Hearing that the city lord had run away, Tang Yin laughed in his heart and ordered his soldiers to bring all the officials of Jinguang City over.
These officials didn't know what Tang Yin was going to do. They were frightened, their legs were trembling, 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 Chinese clothes and steel armor, he was young after all and did not look very burly.
Magnificent, I guess his official rank in Tianyuan County is not high.
Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "I am Tang Yin!"
Ah? When they heard the word Tang Yin, all the officials were shocked, and some even couldn't believe what he said was true. Tang Yin was the governor of Tianyuan County and the first person to oppose Zhong Tian. He was not fighting against Zhong Wen.
Are you fighting? Why did you suddenly arrive at Jinhua City? This is so unreasonable.
Seeing everyone's thoughts, 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!"
"Huh!" 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."
, and there is no other way!”
They are telling the truth. If a good-looking Fengren or Fengguan is not a good person, whoever wants to be a so-called Pengren or Pengguan is willing to become a so-called Pengren or Pengguan. However, they also have to support their families. If they do not accept it, the lighter ones will be removed from their posts, and the severer 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, and it is my Dafeng."
City, do you have any objections?"
"No! No, no!" 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 didn't miss any subtle expression of everyone, and at the same time said "Huh?" inquiringly.
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!"
Well! Tang Yin nodded secretly. If he wanted to resist the Ningguo army in Jinhua City, he would inevitably 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 and whether they were loyal to
The wind is still loyal to 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."
"Ah?" Deng Xuan and the surrounding officials were shocked and couldn't help grinning secretly. Deng Xuan said: "As far as I know, the Ning army has 400,000 people, and it is led by Ning's generals Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi.
Brother Commander..."
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 blushing? 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 peace in the world. My lords, whether you want to be a loyal man who will go down in history or be a lackey of Ning people, you can choose for yourself!"
After speaking, Tang Yin turned around and stopped looking at them.
The officials were in complicated moods. It was a life-or-death situation, and it was very difficult for anyone to make the decision. After a while, Deng Xuan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and made up his mind. He knelt down again with a plop and said loudly: "I am willing to assist you, sir."
To resist Ning's army, we will do whatever it takes to defeat him!"
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, came forward, helped everyone up one by one, and said with a smile: "You sirs are worthy of being our 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 hurriedly said: "There are currently no city defense facilities on the city wall, 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 as much food and grass as possible for our army's hoarding. If anyone refuses to hand it over, we can seize it by force. When Ning Bing retreats in the future, I will repay you twice as much."
!”
"clear!"
Tang Yin continued to issue orders and made all the preparations he could think of. Afterwards, Deng Xuan and others took the orders one after another and implemented them step by step according to Tang Yin's wishes. Tang Yin's consideration was correct, and with the full strength of these local officials
Assistance, doing things is indeed twice the result with half the effort. As soon as the people of Jinhua heard that they were helping the Feng Army to resist the Ning Army, they did not need to be mobilized. People spontaneously came out to help. Men helped transport supplies, women helped cook, and even the surrounding areas
The people in those villages and towns also spontaneously donated food and materials, hoping from the bottom of their hearts that the Feng Army would 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-strong 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 came to Jinguang County to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Tang Yin and his troops had been preparing in Jinhua City for two days before the Ning Army received the news that the main force of the 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 in the two counties.
How could he suddenly come to Jinhua City when he was fighting Zhong Wen at the junction?
Nine times out of ten, this news is 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.
