Chapter 797: Two hundred thousand Sichuan troops are stationed at the border. There must be small groups of Sichuan troops appearing nearby from time to time. It is not difficult to find a small cavalry team of the Sichuan troops.
Everyone avoided the village, quietly walked around to the official road behind the Sichuan Army camp, and then hid in a forest close to the road. All they had to do now was to wait for the Sichuan Army's cavalry to pass by.
Coincidentally, they had only rested for two cups of tea in the forest when Ah San and Ah Si, who were observing outside the forest, both ran back and said to Tang Yin with a happy face: "Your Majesty, a Sichuan Army cavalry is coming from the front.
It looks like there are between twenty and thirty people."
The Sichuan cavalry in their 20s and 30s were insignificant to them, and they could all be eliminated in the blink of an eye. Tang Yin, who was tearing up the dried meat and eating it, immediately stood up after hearing this and wiped his mouth.
Bian said: "Okay! It's just them!"
At the edge of the woods where Tang Yin and others were lying in ambush, after just waiting for a moment, they saw a group of Sichuan cavalry running quickly on the official road. Just like Asan and Asi said, there were only about twenty cavalry at best.
Wearing the large white cape exclusive to the Sichuan Cavalry.
Yin Lan came out of the woods and walked forward for a while. Suddenly she squatted on the ground and kept rubbing her ankle, as if she accidentally twisted her ankle while walking.
At this time, the Sichuan cavalry happened to pass by her. Upon seeing this, the leading cavalry captain reined in his horse and stopped, looked at Yin Lan up and down, and asked seriously: "Is the girl injured?"
"Well..." Yin Lan raised her head, frowning, and responded softly. She didn't dare to say much. Feng and Sichuan were in the south and the north, and their accents were very different. As soon as she opened her mouth, she would be attracted by Sichuan.
Bing recognized her as Feng Ren.
Seeing Yin Lan's appearance clearly, the cavalry captain couldn't help but take a breath and said to himself: What a beautiful girl! The Sichuan cavalrymen behind also looked surprised, looking at her face in a daze.
The cavalry captain said: "Where is the girl's home? Do you want me to send someone to take you back?"
Sichuan people attach great importance to etiquette, and the Sichuan army's military discipline is also strict, which can be seen from the cavalry captain. Although Yin Lan is as beautiful as a flower and this is a sparsely populated border, the Sichuan army captain did not do anything inappropriate.
Yin Lan sat on the ground and nodded, then pointed in a random direction. The captain of the Sichuan soldiers turned around and nodded to two Sichuan soldiers and said, "You two will send this girl home, and then return to the camp immediately!"
"Yes! Captain!" The two Sichuan soldiers jumped off their horses and walked up to Yin Lan. They wanted to help Yin Lan, but they felt it was inappropriate and immediately retracted their hands and asked in a low voice: "Can the girl stand up?
rise?"
Yin Lan moved, then shook his head helplessly. The two Sichuan soldiers looked at each other, and then said, "Let's help you get up!" As they spoke, the two stretched out their hands again to ask Yin Lan.
Lan's arm.
But the moment the two of them stretched out their hands, Yin Lan, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up. At the same time, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the air and passed by the necks of the two Sichuan soldiers.
The two Sichuan soldiers didn't even see clearly what was going on. Their throats had been cut open by the dagger in Yin Lan's hand, and blood spurted out.
This sudden change shocked the other Sichuan cavalrymen. People changed their colors on the spot, and the Sichuan soldier captain shouted: "You..."
Just as he finished speaking, two crossbow arrows were suddenly shot from the forest beside the road, and there were two bangs. The crossbow arrows were nailed to the Sichuan soldier captain's neck and chest respectively. He shook twice on his horse, and then fell down.
Go down.
The Sichuan cavalry never dreamed that they would be ambushed in Sichuan territory. By the time everyone reacted, Tang Yin, Asan, Asi, Ren Xiao, and Chang Fengye who were hiding in the forest had already jumped out one after another and killed them when they came up.
hand.
It was easy for them, even Yin Lan, who was the weakest in spirit, to defeat these twenty or so Sichuan soldiers, not to mention that they all attacked together.
More than 20 Sichuan soldiers, let alone resistance, did not even have a chance to turn their horses to escape. In an instant, they all fell off their horses and either fell into a pool of blood or died under Tang Yin's dark fire, with the essence in their bodies being squeezed out.
A capable person.
After getting rid of these Sichuan cavalry, in order not to leave any traces, Tang Yin burned the bodies of the Sichuan soldiers and the extra horses on the spot with dark fire. As for the clothes and armor of the Sichuan soldiers, he asked everyone to move them to the woods and bury them.
.
While dealing with the clothes and armor left by the Sichuan army, Ah San sent a letter from the cavalry captain's clothes, with several large characters written by General Jin on the envelope.
General Jin? Is this a letter written to Jin Zhuo? Ah San was moved in his heart and hurriedly handed the letter to Tang Yin.
After taking it, Tang Yin opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a letter from the head of Jiuxuan County, Bianyang County, Sichuan Province, to Jin Zhuo. The general meaning of the letter was that the 80,000 shi of grain requested by Jin Zhuo would be delivered to the Sichuan Army in the near future.
Camp, please Jin Zhuo wait patiently.
After reading the letter, Tang Yin said: "It turns out that these cavalry were sent by Jin Zhuo to urge the local area for food and grass."
Yin Lan was stunned for a moment, took the letter, looked down at it, and said in confusion: "It's strange. The Sichuan Army's food and grass can support the 100,000 troops in Guankou City for a long time. It should be sufficient. Why do they need to send money to the local government?"
Are you asking for food and grass?"
"It's very simple, because Sichuan is going to increase its troops on the border, and it's a large-scale increase!" From this seemingly inconspicuous letter, Tang Yin was able to get some information about Sichuan's future actions.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Currently, the Sichuan army is still asking for food and grass from the local government even though it has sufficient food and grass. There is only one explanation for this. Sichuan will continue to hoard heavy troops at the border.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, everyone took a breath in unison, and Yin Lan asked nervously: "Your Majesty, does it mean that Sichuan will use troops against our country in the near future?"
"Of course there is a possibility, but it is unlikely. According to the detection reports sent back by the Sky Eye and the Earth Network, the country of Sichuan is not peaceful at present. The Zhen people are disobedient to the control of the Sichuan people, and the rebellion in Zhen land continues. Moreover,
The Sichuan court is currently in the middle of a dispute between the old nobles and the new nobles. Thinking about it, it is not suitable to launch a large-scale national war in the short term."
"Then Sichuan's additional troops at the border are..."
"Ten percent, it's to guard against our country's invasion." Tang Yin smiled and said: "We regard Sichuan as a powerful enemy, a terrifying behemoth. Similarly, Sichuan sees us the same way. To say that Sichuan people are not afraid of a sudden challenge from our country.
It is absolutely impossible to start a war."
Yin Lan thought about it carefully and felt that what Tang Yin said made sense. If she were from Sichuan, there would be such a large and warlike Feng Kingdom in the north, and she would have trouble sleeping and eating.
At this time, Ah Si came over holding a set of Sichuan Army armor and said: "Your Majesty, it is very inconvenient for us to move around in Sichuan. It is better to change into Sichuan Army uniforms, which will less arouse suspicion."
Tang Yin blinked and said with a smile: "What a great idea! Let's pretend to be the Sichuan Army this time!"
At Ah Si's suggestion, everyone put on the military uniforms and armor of the Sichuan Kingdom, then mounted their horses and headed straight for Rongcheng, a border town in the north of the Sichuan Kingdom. Rongcheng is located in Jiuxuan County, the closest place in the Sichuan Kingdom to Andi.
One of the cities.
Rongcheng is not big, and it is considered a small city in terms of area. The population in the city is quite large, as many as 70,000 to 80,000 people. The city is very prosperous, with many shops, many of which are opened by An people.
Anguo is a big commercial country. It used to have close exchanges with Sichuan, especially in terms of commerce. The trade between the two countries has already been very developed and prosperous. When Tang Yin and his party arrived in Rongcheng, it was almost dusk.
Since 200,000 Sichuan troops were stationed at the border, and officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army often went to Rongcheng for recreation, the people in the city and the local army were accustomed to seeing the Central Army coming in and out. No one would pay much attention to Tang Yin and the others.
The local army in the city did not come forward to investigate.
After successfully entering the city, looking around, this inconspicuous little town is bustling with activity. People are coming and going on the streets in an endless stream. The shops on both sides are shouting constantly, and even the girls from the brothels are lying in the pavilions.
On the railing, he winked at the passers-by outside from time to time.
What a peaceful and peaceful scene with colorful flowers and green willows! A smile appeared on Tang Yin's face. He slowed down his horse and walked slowly towards the city following the pedestrians on the street, looking to both sides as he walked.
The architecture of Sichuan Kingdom is different from that of An Kingdom. Most of its buildings are made of wooden structures, and wood carvings are widely used. Even the houses of ordinary people have very exquisite carvings.
Although it was his own enemy country, seeing such a grand occasion made Tang Yin feel very good.
As he was walking forward, a silk scarf slowly fell from the air and just hung on his helmet. He raised his hand to take it off, and he could smell the strong fragrance from it without putting it to his nose.
He raised his head on the horse and looked up with a smile. He saw several young and beautiful women wearing rouge lying on the wooden attic beside him. Some of them waved the silk scarves in their hands to him, and some of them asked Lianlian.
He waved, and one of the women shouted loudly: "Brother, come up here and drink!"
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, smiled up and shook his head slightly. The girls looked a little disappointed, and another woman turned around and picked up a wine bottle and shouted to Tang Yin: "Go on!"
As he spoke, he threw the jug down. Tang Yin raised his hand to catch it, put the jug under his nose, smelled it, raised his head and praised: "What a good wine!" As he said that, he picked up the jug and drank it.
A big mouthful.
Tang Yin's boldness attracted a series of silver bell-like laughter from the women upstairs. They waved to him and shouted: "Brother, remember to come and play next time when you go to town!"
"Okay!" Tang Yin responded cheerfully, shook the wine bottle in his hand to greet them, then held the wine bottle in one hand and the reins in the other, and continued to walk forward while drinking.
Ah San, Ah Si, Yin Lan and others followed Tang Yin, secretly speechless as they watched.
This is the country of Sichuan! It is completely joyful and peaceful. The city is like a festival. People don’t seem so distant from each other. Even strangers seem to be so close to each other.
