The southern city wall of Baguan is much stronger and more complete than the northern city wall. Even if there is no war with Mo State, there are two full rows of trebuchets in the city wall. Once there is a battle, these trebuchets will help the siege.
The Mozambican army caused immeasurable damage.
When you get to the top of the city and look up, you will see that behind the arrow stacks there are piles of rolling logs, stones, and bundles of arrows in rows and rows. There are countless arrows. Such a city defense facility, even if
There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemy troops attacking the city, and it may be difficult for them to capture Ba Pass in a short time.
Tang Yin inspected a large circle accompanied by Yingbu. After seeing it, he was very satisfied with the improvement of the city defense and admired Yingbu's ability even more in his heart. Feng Wang Zhanhua may not be a talented monarch, but he arranged Yingbu in the hegemony.
Baguan, and the term lasts for seven or eight years. This decision is indeed the right one. With Yingbu here, Baguan can indeed become a reassuring portal.
"My lord, if there is anything I have done improperly, please point it out," Yingbu said seriously.
Tang Yin smiled, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "General Yingbu's ability to defend the city is far better than mine. The person who should ask for advice is me, not General Yingbu."
"Ah! Your Excellency is so polite." Tang Yin's simple words of affirmation greatly benefited Ying Bu's heart, and his attitude became more and more humble.
While following Tang Yin towards the city, Yingbu asked curiously: "Sir, is it true that Mo State will use troops against me, Dafeng?"
Tang Yin smiled indifferently and said, "This possibility is not high, but we have to be on guard." During this period, Tang Yin got a lot of information about Mo Wang's court through the detectives lurking in Zhenjiang.
The assassination of Shao Fang did make King Shao Ting of Mo have a lot of suspicion and estrangement towards his third son Shao Bo, and it also somewhat dispelled some of his determination to make Shao Bo the crown prince. Coupled with the frequent opinions of his right-hand minister Dong Sheng, it became clear that
After hearing the news, Shao Ting began to gradually alienate Shao Bo. Instead, he doted on his second son, Shao Fang, again.
At this time, Shao Fang, under Dong Sheng's instigation, went to see Shao Ting and expressed that he did not want to pursue the assassins anymore and hoped that the matter could end here. Shao Ting was very pleased with Shao Fang's understanding and carelessness, and could not help but admire his character.
After Shao Fang's injuries slowly recovered, Shao Ting gave Shao Fang a new position, Weiwei.
The duties of the Guards may not be big or small, but they are extremely important. The Guards are responsible for protecting the palace and are the highest commanders of the Palace Guards. It can be said that the Guards are directly in charge of the military power of the Palace. Throughout history, regardless of the
Whether it is Mo State or other vassal states, the guards are always served by the people the monarch trusts the most.
Shao Ting now appoints Shao Fang as a guard, which shows the degree of trust in him. Some ministers with keen sense of smell in the royal court felt that the direction of the wind had changed. Shao Bo's appointment as prince seemed no longer certain, but it had not been considered before.
The promising Shao Fang suddenly emerged and is likely to replace Shao Bo's position in King Mo's mind.
At this time, the factions in the Mo court became more clear. The ministers headed by Dong Sheng supported Shao Fang, while the ministers headed by Taifu Zhang Rong supported Shao Bo. Some ministers were centrist and did not participate in either end. They just watched.
As a result, on the surface, the country of Mo appears to be calm and prosperous, but in fact, undercurrents are surging, and factional disputes in the royal court have quietly begun.
Tang Yin is well aware of these situations. He is not worried about Shao Fang, but Dong Sheng. To say that Dong Sheng supports Shao Fang is better to say that Dong Sheng supports Mo Guo. Such people do everything for the benefit of the country.
The starting point was capricious and had no credibility at all. In fact, Tang Yin was very unsure whether Dong Sheng would stop Mo Guo from using troops against Feng.
Now that he saw that Yingbu had managed Baguan's city defense so well, he felt somewhat relieved. As he walked towards the general's mansion, Tang Yin asked: "General Yingbu, where have the remnants of Zhong Tian's troops gone now?"
Ying Bu was so frightened by the Feng Zhui Sword that he did not dare to leave the city, and he did not know where Zhong Tian had gone. He said with a troubled face: "Sir, this... I will never know."
Tang Yin turned to look at him, then stopped and said, "Letian, Ai Jia!"
"My subordinates are here!" Lotte and Ai Jia hurried forward and stepped in to salute.
"Can you two find out where Zhong Tian fled to?"
"Oh..." Lotte and Ai Jia looked at each other and both replied: "My subordinates are sending people to investigate."
Even Tianyan and Diwang don't know where Zhong Tian has fled to, which is strange. Since Zhong Tian and Ning Jun did not dare to take the official road and only traveled through the wilderness, Tianyan and Diwang's spies have really not found out.
Their whereabouts. Tang Yin paused for a moment and said to the two of them: "Find out quickly!" After saying that, he continued to walk towards the general's mansion.
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, after the guests and hosts were seated, Yingbu hurriedly ordered the food to be served. The conditions in Baguan were still as difficult as before, and there was no even wine. As for the food, it couldn't be simpler. Looking at the food,
Yingbu looked ashamed and said to Tang Yin: "Sir, these are the only things in the pass..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand in understanding, interrupted him, then looked around at Yingbu and his generals, and sighed: "I understand. Over the years, General Yingbu and the soldiers in the army have fought at Ba Pass.
It’s really hard, but it’s because of the presence of all the generals and brothers that my windy south is as stable as a rock.”
This sentence made Yingbu and the generals of the Baguan Army present almost cry. People's eyes were red, and they all raised their hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
For Feng State, Baguan and Tongmen are equally important cities, checkpoints and gateways, but Yancheng has always valued Tongmen more and has almost ignored Baguan. This also made Baguan
The psychology of the soldiers was extremely unbalanced. Because of this, although Baguan had accumulated a large number of troops, when Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the soldiers of Baguan silently accepted this fact without even raising a voice of objection.
Now that Tang Yin said this, he finally made the generals of Baguan feel that their hard work and efforts in guarding the border over the past few years were not in vain.
Tang Yin said seriously to Yingbu: "After the national traitor Zhong Tian is eliminated, I will report to the court and transfer General Yingbu back to the capital to serve."
"Thank you, sir!" Yingbu had been looking forward to returning to the capital for many years. He was so excited that he almost jumped up from his seat. However, he soon discovered that his generals
While looking at him eagerly, Ying Bu's heart moved and he asked: "Sir, then...then these brothers under me..."
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "The importance of Baguan to our Feng Kingdom is self-evident. Transferring General Yingbu will already greatly weaken Baguan's city defense. If we transfer other generals,
I'm afraid that if something changes, my dominance will be lost!"
Ying Bu knew in his heart that Tang Yin's concerns were correct and the reason was the same, but he couldn't bear to let go of the brothers who had followed him for many years and return to the capital alone, and he couldn't let go of this friendship. At this time, Ying Bu
The excitement in Bu's heart dropped sharply. He looked at Tang Yin and then at his brothers, silently lowering his head without saying a word.
He didn't speak, and Tang Yin didn't speak either. As he lowered his head and ate the food, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that the hall was surprisingly quiet and the atmosphere was a bit depressing, the generals of the Baguan Army bowed in unison, forced a smile on Yingbu and said: "General, since I have the ability to transfer you back to the capital, don't miss this opportunity.
!”
"Yes, general, you don't have to worry about us. We have lived in Baguan for so many years. If we suddenly return to the capital, we may not be able to adapt. Brothers, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We can just stay in Baguan. The general doesn't need to worry about us."
The more the generals said this, the more Yingbu couldn't bear to do it. Seeing these generals who lived with him day and night and felt like brothers, he couldn't bear to part with them, and he couldn't bear to see them stay in Baguan and continue to suffer. In the end, he
He felt relieved and turned back to Tang Yin and said: "I appreciate your kindness, but if I am asked to return to the capital alone, I really can't do it, so let me stay at Ba Pass with my brothers!"
"General..."
The generals were all anxious after hearing this. It was such a rare opportunity to be transferred back to the capital. How could you just give up? The generals were also anxious for Yingbu from the bottom of their hearts.
Tang Yinze was secretly happy in his heart, almost bursting into laughter. Yingbu was a natural guard, and he had been the commander of Baguan for seven or eight years. He was very familiar with the environment and situation here, and he got along well with the soldiers.
, this is so rare. If he didn't stay at Ba Pass, Tang Yin would really be worried if it was someone else!
However, he also admired the natural friendship between Yingbu and his generals, who could be said to share joys and sorrows. He bit his lip, then smiled lightly and asked: "General Yingbu really wants to stay in Baguan?"
"Yes! Sir! I am willing!" Yingbu answered directly without thinking.
"Don't think about it anymore?"
Yingbu smiled, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to think about this matter any more."
"Forget it!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "I will report this matter to the imperial court and let General Yingbu continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of Baguan. In addition..." After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "In addition, if
If General Yingbu does not object, the soldiers of the Baguan Army can bring all their family members to Baguan. If they cannot be accommodated in Baguan, they can be resettled in towns near Baguan so that the soldiers can often reunite with their families.
If we suffer from the distance between the two places, as for the housing and land, it is all handled by the imperial court, so the generals and officers in the army need not worry about this."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, especially the Baguan generals headed by Yingbu. They simply wondered if their ears had heard wrongly, and they could take the family members over? This is simply unbelievable.
You must know that Baguan is a frontier fortress, far away from the capital. In order to prevent the garrison from rebelling or defecting to the enemy, the families of the garrison generals are settled in the capital. If the family members can be brought to Baguan, it can be said to be unprecedented.
It's the first of its kind, not to mention how much trust does this require?
