The tenth episode, seven hundred and ninety-sixth chapter
Chapter 796
Shangguan Yuanrang and other winds will be full of doubts about Chang Feng. Of course, their suspicions are not groundless. Chang Feng can become the princess's personal guard. Naturally, he has won the trust of the Sichuan court and even Sichuan King Xiao Xuan. How could he switch sides so easily?
What about Fengguo?
Furthermore, Chang Feng was a native of Shenchi and a disciple of Huangfu Xiutai. His only stance was to be an enemy of the Feng Kingdom, so it was really strange to suddenly switch sides.
However, Tang Yin trusted Chang Feng very much. Although he had known Chang Feng for a short time and had not had much contact with him, his intuition told him that Chang Feng was worthy of his trust.
Moreover, in his opinion, it is most suitable for a person like Chang Feng, who was abandoned by Shenchi because of his physical defects, to stay in Feng Country, and what he made was the most correct choice.
Tang Yin did not explain much about Chang Feng's surrender, and no one dared to ask more questions. Qi Heng changed the subject and asked: "The king is visiting the Sichuan camp. Is the Sichuan army really willing to bring the king back?"
"Haha!" Tang Yin looked up and laughed, turned around and patted Chang Feng's arm, saying: "It's weird if you let go! Thanks to Mr. Chang for helping me this time, otherwise, I might have been in trouble in the Sichuan camp."
In fact, what he said was a bit exaggerated. Even without Chang Feng, he could still handle it. The reason why he said this was to tell everyone that Chang Feng was trustworthy and not to have any prejudice or grudge against him.
Sure enough, one sentence from Tang Yin was more effective than a thousand words from others. After hearing this, everyone's faces straightened, and then they bowed respectfully to Chang Feng and said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Chang, for helping the king get out of trouble!
"
Chang Feng could understand Tang Yin's thoughts and was full of gratitude to him. However, he was not good at words and could not say words of gratitude and loyalty. He nodded slightly to everyone and whispered: "Yes... Your Highness is serious."
Tang Yin smiled and said nothing more. He asked: "In Sichuan Camp, I heard that the Pingyuan Army and the Ninth Army have arrived?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the army will be here soon." Qi Heng replied hurriedly.
"We'd better not wait for the army to come over, let's go back first!" If we let so many of our own troops come to the border of Sichuan'an, we might have an encounter with the Sichuan army. If a war breaks out, it won't end well.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" All the generals responded with their hands raised, preparing to escort Tang Yin back to Guankou City. All the generals knew that Chang Feng was blind, and specially arranged for an elf soldier to lead his horse and hold the stirrup for him.
When Tang Yin saw it, he waved his hand and dismissed the soldier, indicating that there was no need to pay special attention to Chang Feng.
Seeing this, the Feng generals were all quite puzzled. Let alone Chang Feng's contribution to the rescue, even if he had not accomplished anything, with his outstanding spiritual martial arts, shouldn't we respect him as an honored guest?
When it comes to understanding human nature, the generals present are really not as good as Tang Yin. It is true that Chang Feng is blind, but he himself does not want others to treat him as a useless person and give him special care. The more he looks like him
Such people have stronger self-esteem and stronger heart.
Hearing that Tang Yin dismissed the wind soldiers who were looking after him, Chang Feng not only did not feel slighted, but also nodded to Tang Yin gratefully.
He grabbed the reins of the war horse, without even stepping on the stirrups, and jumped directly onto the saddle. His movements were agile and no different from those of a normal person.
The generals were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled. They no longer looked at Chang Feng with special eyes. They all turned their horses' heads and passed on the order. The rear team became the front team and retreated to the pass city.
The group of people were walking halfway when they bumped into the oncoming Pingyuan Army and the main force of the Ninth Army. When they saw Tang Yin and saw that he was intact, the leader Xiao Muqing also let out a sigh of relief.
On the way back to the city, Xiao Muqing kept mumbling beside Tang Yin that he would never take such risks again. It was pointless and he was just joking with his own life.
Tang Yin nodded in agreement while listening. Seeing the cheerful expression on his face, he didn't know if he heard Xiao Muqing's words.
By the time Tang Yin returned to Guankou City with his army, the fighting here had already ended, and the 100,000 defenders inside had been massacred by the Feng army, leaving no one alive.
As for the secret passage, it had been completely destroyed by the Feng Army. In order to prevent the Sichuan people from repeating their old tricks, the Feng Army deliberately buried more than ten water vats around Guankou City and sent special personnel to watch it day and night to monitor it.
Having captured the last pass city, Feng Jun had completed the annexation and occupation of the entire territory of Anguo. At this point, it also declared the complete destruction of Anguo.
Now, the Feng Kingdom has successively annexed the four kingdoms of Ning, Mo, Huan, and An. Its national power has reached an unprecedented peak, and its territory has expanded several times, spanning the northern and central parts of the empire.
In terms of territorial area alone, Feng Kingdom has surpassed Sichuan Kingdom, which annexed Zhendi, and has become the largest principality worthy of the name. At present, the only remaining principalities are Sichuan Kingdom, Jade Kingdom and Shenchi in the small land.
The territory of the Jade Kingdom is surrounded by the Feng Kingdom, and with the Feng Kingdom following its lead, it is now equivalent to a vassal state of the Feng Kingdom, and Shenchi has always had an attitude of being aloof and not cooperating with other countries. Therefore, it can really compete with the Feng Kingdom at present.
The only one that competes is the Sichuan Kingdom, which dominates the entire south. With the annexation of Huan'an and Fengchuan, there is no longer a gap between Fengchuan and Fengchuan. The territories of the two countries are fully bordered. The contradiction between Fengchuan and Fengchuan has finally surfaced.
Next, the battle for Fengchuan is about to begin.
Of course, the current Feng Kingdom and Sichuan Kingdom are not yet ready for a full-scale war. The Feng Kingdom is expanding too fast, and there are so many internal problems that cannot be distinguished and sorted out, and it will take a long time to deal with them one by one.
There are also hidden dangers within the Sichuan Kingdom. Zhendi is not so easy to annex. The Zhen people are tough and unruly. It is not easy to make them completely surrender to the Sichuan Kingdom. In addition, there is also a struggle for power within the Sichuan Kingdom.
Internal friction, the newly rising nobles want more and greater rights, but the old nobles will not give up their authority to others in vain, it is difficult for the government and the public to unite, and there are irreconcilable conflicts between the old and new nobles
, this is also the biggest hidden danger in Sichuan country at present.
Fengchuan and Fengchuan had mutual concerns and each had their own problems that needed to be resolved. Therefore, although the two countries stationed heavy troops on the border, no war broke out. The two sides were in a stalemate, and on the surface it seemed peaceful.
Speaking of Tang Yin, after stabilizing the situation in Guankou City, he ordered the Pingyuan Army and the Ninth Army to withdraw to Yuzhen first, leaving the Sky Eagle Army and the New Army to station in Guankou City for rest.
He himself did not return to Yuzhen with the Pingyuan Army and the Ninth Army, but planned to visit Sichuan in person to see the national conditions of Sichuan.
This time, he was the closest to Sichuan. The opportunity was rare and he didn't want to miss it.
The Sichuan Kingdom has now become the Feng Kingdom's biggest and only powerful enemy. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. No matter how much you hear from others, it is better for him to go there and see with his own eyes what the national conditions of the Sichuan Kingdom are.
, the more Sichuan people know, the more confident they will be in fighting Sichuan in the future.
The trip to Sichuan he planned was just a disguised secret visit, not an invasion, so he didn't plan to bring too many people with him. Apart from Asan, Asi, and Yin Lan, there were only Ren Xiao and Chang Feng.
Cheng Jin, Letian and Ai Jia were worried about Tang Yin taking risks, and each sent elites from Dark Arrow, Sky Eye, and Diwang to secretly protect him.
Two days later, when preparations were complete, Tang Yin and his party set off.
They could not take the highway between Sichuan and Andi. Sichuan troops were stationed there at all levels. It was almost impossible to cross the border quietly. They could only advance to Heitou Mountain, pass through the mountainous area, and then enter Sichuan.
Blackhead Mountain is located on the east side of Guankou City. It is not an isolated mountain, but a winding and undulating mountain range that is hundreds of miles long. Blackhead Mountain is just the main peak of this large mountain range.
For some unknown reason, there is no grass growing on the top of the peak of Heitou Mountain, and all the black rocks are exposed. Looking at it, the upper part is black and the lower part is green, and the name of Heitou Mountain comes from this.
The territory of Heitou Mountain is all barren mountains and wild ridges, as well as large tracts of virgin forest. There is no way to go. Fortunately, Tang Yin asked Feng Jun in advance to find an Anren herbicide farmer who often went to Heitoushan Mountain to collect herbs as a guide. The herb farmer would lead the way.
Only then were we able to cross Blackhead Mountain.
Needless to say, there was no need to mention the hardships along the way. Five days later, Tang Yin and his party finally walked out of Heitou Mountain and entered the territory of Sichuan Kingdom.
After leaving Heitou Mountain, they didn't go far when they saw a small village in front of them.
In the past few days, they finally saw people, and everyone seemed very excited. Yin Lan walked up to Tang Yin and whispered: "Your Majesty, there must be food in the village. How about we go in and buy some?"
Tang Yin pondered for a moment, slowly shook his head, and said: "This small village is located in a remote place. Under normal circumstances, no outsiders will come here. If we go there rashly, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the villagers."
Although he was right, Yin Lan still couldn't help but have some expectations in her heart. She murmured: "Your Majesty, we haven't had a good meal these days." For days, we just ate dry food and dried meat.
Yin Lan feels sick just thinking about it now.
Tang Yin smiled and asked for a map from Asan. After unfolding it, he looked at it and said, "This is not far from Rongcheng in Sichuan. If we set out now, we can probably get there before dark. Just be patient!"
Ren Xiao smiled and said: "Before leaving, His Highness already said that this trip will be hard, but Miss Yin Lan still wants to come. Now it's too late to complain about the hard work!"
Yin Lan puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and muttered, "I didn't say it was hard work!" Ren Xiao didn't have the airs of a young master, and Yin Lan acted very casually in front of him.
Tang Yin checked the map for a while, returned it to Ah San, waved to everyone and said, "Let's go!"
Ah San carefully put away the map, and then said to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, we'd better get a few horses, that will be much more convenient."
Everyone nodded in unison. It would be best to have horses to take the road. But where can we get horses in these barren mountains and wild mountains? Thinking of this, everyone felt a move in their hearts. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Sichuan Army
