Tang Yin was let into the city lord's palace by Qiu Yue. In the hall, Qiu Yue let Tang Yin sit at the top of the table, and he sat at the bottom. After saying a few polite words, Lotte strode in from the outside.
Without even looking at Qiu Yue, Letian walked directly to Tang Yin, knelt down and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Zhong Tian and his gang have lost their trace."
"What?" Tang Yin frowned and looked at Letian in confusion, not understanding what he meant. There were nearly 20,000 Ning soldiers, how could they disappear out of thin air?
Letian explained in a low voice: "I just received a detective report that Ning Jun is not on the official road to Textile City. As for where he went, the brothers below are still investigating."
This is really strange. If Zhong Tian doesn't flee to Textile City, where else can he escape? Does he still want to reorganize his troops and compete with him? Tang Yin snorted coldly and said to Letian: "Put you and Ai Jia together."
Send out all the brothers you can mobilize, and trace the whereabouts of Zhong Tian and Ning Jun no matter what."
"Yes! Sir!" Lotte agreed, not daring to delay, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.
Seeing Letian coming and going in a hurry, with a tense look on his face, Qiu Yue didn't know what happened and asked suspiciously: "Master Tang, did something unexpected happen?"
Tang Yin smiled at him, waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, Mr. Qiu, don't worry." After saying that, he paused for a moment and asked: "Mr. Qiu, when Zhong Tian and his gang passed by the city just now, did you see
Which direction were they going?"
"Xiangnan!" Qiu Yue said firmly without even thinking, "Looking at the direction, we must be heading to Textile City."
"Oh? This is strange." Tang Yin squinted his eyes and murmured.
Qiu Yue asked: "Master Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Yin said thoughtfully: "I just received the report from the spies. On the way from Jiancheng to Textile City, there was no sign of Zhong Tian and his group."
Qiu Yue was stunned. After thinking for a while, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The spies must not have found out clearly. Zhong Tian did indeed run towards the direction of Textile City. This was not only witnessed by the official
What I saw was seen by all the officials in the city.”
Hearing what he said, the officials and staff all agreed: "Yes, yes, Zhong Tian did flee towards Textile City. Mr. Tang should send another detective to find out clearly."
Tang Yin understands Lotte's character, who is cautious and steady. If he is not completely sure, he will never report the information to himself. Moreover, with the ability of the eyes of the sky and the earth network, if Ning Jun is really on the official path, they will not be able to detect it.
At this time, Ziying said: "Sir, in my opinion, the enemy troops should hide and rest."
"Oh?" Tang Yin turned to look at Ziying, waiting for him to continue.
Ziying said: "Ning's army has been fighting hard for two days and one night, and in the process of escaping, almost all the baggage and food in the army were lost. It can be imagined that Ning's army must be tired, hungry and exhausted now.
To get to Fangcheng, we have to march at least three hundred miles. With the current state of Ning's army, most of them will fall before they can reach Fangcheng. Therefore, the general judged that Ning's army must have gone to a secluded place by now.
He hid somewhere and wanted to take advantage of the darkness to rest for a night and start marching after dawn."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded while listening, feeling that Ziying's analysis was quite reliable. He asked: "In General Ziying's opinion, where will Ning Jun hide now?"
Ziying lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "As far as the general knows, there is a Sansheng Mountain forty miles north of Jiancheng. The terrain there is steep and the environment is complex. If nothing happens, Ning's army should be hiding."
Get there."
Ziying can be said to be a master of scheming, and he also understood the enemy's situation thoroughly. Even if he could not see it with his own eyes, he could know every move of the enemy. It was just that he misjudged the location where Ning Jun chose to hide. Normal situation
The Three Sacred Mountains are indeed more convenient for Ning Jun to hide, but Zhong Tian and Ning Jun are not familiar with the local terrain and don't know that there is such a place as the San Sacred Mountains, so the place they choose to hide is just under the official road.
It was a small forest, but this was beyond Ziying's expectation.
After listening to Ziying's analysis, Tang Yin put his hands on his hands and smiled, praising: "What General Ziying said makes sense. Our army will go to the Three Holy Mountains now."
Ziying smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, sir. It's too dark now to fight in the mountains, and you must be tired after traveling a long way. You can stay in the city to rest now, and then attack the enemy after dawn."
Tang Yin snorted and asked, "What if Ning Jun ran away in the middle of the night?"
Ziying had already thought of this and said confidently: "Three Holy Mountains are three mountains sandwiched between a ditch. There is only one entrance and one exit, and there is no other way. Our Sky Eagle Army can be divided into two waves. Go first and block the other wave.
At the exit, a wave of waves blocked the entrance, only defending but not attacking, trapping Ning's army. It turned them into a turtle in an urn. When daybreak, your Excellency will come with your strong Qingqi, command the army, attack from the front and back, and annihilate all the enemy soldiers in one fell swoop.
!”
Tang Yin looked up and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay! Just follow General Ziying's advice!"
Ziying stood up, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin, and said, "General, I will personally lead the troops there right now."
"General Ziying, be more careful."
"Don't worry, sir." As he spoke, Ziying took the generals of the Sky Eagle Army and walked out.
After Ziying left, Tang Yin said to Qiu Yue: "Master Qiu, I have more than ten thousand cavalry brothers who want to live in the city. You can make arrangements for them."
"Yes, yes, yes!" At this time, Qiu Yue was finally able to interject. He nodded repeatedly and responded: "I will send someone to clean up the barracks right away." As he spoke, he waved to the officials below.
, order them to do it immediately.
Then Tang Yin said: "I will stay in the hotel tonight, Master Qiu will help me prepare a few more rooms."
"Yes, yes, yes! Oh... Mr. Tang, the conditions of the hotel are really bad. I think Mr. Tang and the generals are still living in Xiaguan's house. Xiaguan will go to the hotel to live." Qiu Yue flattered her.
said.
Tang Yin laughed and said: "I appreciate Mr. Qiu's kindness. It doesn't have to be so troublesome. During marches and wars, it's common to eat and sleep in the open. It's great to be able to live in a hotel."
Qiu Yue did not give up and continued to persuade him to stay, but Tang Yin still politely refused. Seeing that he insisted on staying in the hotel, Qiu Yue had no choice but to ask someone to go to the hotel first, clean up the place, and clear out the rest of the people.
.
After sitting at Qiu Yue's house for a while, Tang Yin and his subordinates will be accompanied by Qiu Yue to the hotel.
It was already late at night, but there was no curfew in Jian City, and pedestrians could still be seen on the streets from time to time.
Many people had heard the news that Tang Yin commanded the Tianyuan Army to enter the city. They stopped on both sides of the street and saw Tang Yin and others going to the hotel. The people pointed and guessed who Tang Yin was among them.
Now Tang Yin's reputation has spread to every corner of the Feng Kingdom. It can be said that no one who is a Feng person does not know his name. The people of Jian City are also full of curiosity about Tang Yin and want to see what he looks like.
More and more people were watching on the streets, and they were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if they were celebrating a festival. For the people, the Fengjun entering the city was indeed no different from celebrating the festival. No one wanted to be the so-called Peng people, and the people seemed unwilling to do so.
Dare to say anything more, but privately they don't recognize Peng State at all, and still regard themselves as people of the wind. Now that the wind army has entered the city, it undoubtedly means that Jian City has returned to the rule of wind. Naturally, the people are overjoyed and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Because Tang Yin and Qiu Yue were walking side by side on horseback, walking in front, and the other generals were following behind. Although the common people had never seen him and felt that this young man looked a little too young, they still identified him as
Make a rough guess.
As Tang Yinzheng and Qiu Yue walked forward, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of them. Two old men squeezed out from the crowd. They looked up at Tang Yin on the horse, both bowed and saluted, and said, "Master Tang, I'm here to greet you."
Qiu Yue was startled. She didn't know what the two old men were doing suddenly. He turned back quickly and shouted to the accompanying guards: "Quick, quick, quick! Go and kill these two old men."
Keep your eyes open, old guy, and don't block your way."
Tang Yin was not as nervous as him. He waved his hand and smiled at Qiu Yue to signal him to calm down. Then he leaned down on his horse and asked pleasantly: "Are these two old people..."
Before he finished speaking, a few more old men squeezed out from the crowd. Although these people were all dressed in old clothes and had gray beards, they all had swords hanging on their waists, and their eyes were brighter and more energetic.
God also looks much richer than an old man of the same age.
One of the old men bowed and said: "We are all retired veterans of the Central Army. We heard that Mr. Tang led the Feng Army into the city, and we came here specifically to pay homage to Mr. Tang!" As he spoke, several old men raised their hands again, respectfully.
Kneel down and give a great gift.
Ah! It turned out to be a retired veteran! When Tang Yin heard this, he was filled with respect. What he liked most were soldiers and generals. Even retired veterans, he respected them very much.
He couldn't sit still on the horse, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, helped several old men up one by one, and at the same time returned the courtesy politely, and said seriously: "You old people are Fengjun, and I am Dafeng."
I really can't bear your great gift."
Tang Yin's move moved several old men deeply, and also made the people around him feel heartbroken. What is Tang Yin's identity? Although he is only the head of the county in name, he actually controls the overall situation of Feng Country. How polite he is to the retired veterans.
Even Qiu Yue, a mere city lord, is far inferior to this level. The common people have never seen or heard of a high-ranking official who loves the military and the people so much. How can he not make the common people respect him?
"Master Tang, we also have a greeting for you!"
Tang Yin helped several veterans up, but the people on both sides knelt down in large numbers.
