"I have heard about the name of General Tang for a long time, and today I saw him. He is indeed an extraordinary warrior. My brothers admire him, I admire him!"
The fortress guard's position was no lower than that of Tang Yin, but his compliments gave Tang Yin goosebumps all over his body.
With such a city defense and such a garrison, he was really worried that once the Mo army came, Ba Pass might not be able to hold on for even half a day and would be crushed by others.
But this was not his business, and he was too lazy to worry about it. Tang Yin chuckled twice and said nothing more.
There are no residential buildings in Baguan, only military barracks, and the guard's mansion is also very crude. It is a simple residence built of a mixture of earth and stones, as if it could be blown down by strong winds.
After entering the house, the guests and hosts took their seats. Tang Yin did not say any polite words and asked straight to the point: "General Ying, I wonder when Her Royal Highness the Princess will arrive at Ba Pass?"
"Well..." Yingbu held his chin and thought for a long time before saying, "I guess we'll be there in a day or two."
"Estimated?" Of course Tang Yin would not be satisfied with such an ambiguous answer. He asked: "Didn't Her Royal Highness and the Mo Kingdom send someone to inform them in advance?"
Yingbu smiled dryly and shook his head: "It seems not yet, I haven't received any news in this regard."
The military always attaches great importance to strict prohibitions and does not tolerate any sloppiness. Vague words such as 'estimate', 'seem to', etc. are taboo. Looking at Ying Bu with a smile on his face, Tang Yin really can't understand how he is doing it.
Sitting in the position of overlord and guard.
Tang Yin didn't get the answer he wanted from Yingbu, and he didn't have a good impression of him. He only chatted for a few words, then left and returned to the corps.
There was no hotel in Baguan, so he and Qiu Zhen lived in the camp of the Corps.
While eating, Tang Yin asked: "Yingbu doesn't look very good!"
"Haha!" Qiu Zhen smiled understandingly, sighed softly, and said: "The conditions at Ba Pass are too poor. The atmosphere is tense but there is no war. Who among the talented people would want to stay here?"
He picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for Tang Yin and himself. Then he took a big sip and said: "There are two positions in Feng State that no one is fighting for. Number one
Pingyuan County in Tianyuan County is close to the Morpheus Federation. There are two cities, five towns, and several villages in the county. They may be harassed and attacked by Morpheus cavalry at any time. In just ten years, Pingyuan County was only the county guard.
Six county guards have been replaced, and five of them were wounded and killed. As for the city lords, I don’t know how many have been replaced; the second in the list is Baguan. The Baguan garrison was replaced without the approval of Wang Ting.
They cannot leave here without permission, which means that the defenders will be trapped in this small fortress basically all year round, and they may stay there for several years or even more than ten years. It is boring and boring, and even normal people can be fooled.
Fucked crazy.”
"Oh! That's it." Tang Yin heard this and nodded. No wonder Ying Bu looked unkempt, slovenly, and downtrodden. No wonder he was so enthusiastic when he saw himself. It is estimated that he may not have seen one in Baguan for several years.
New face. Now, he actually sympathizes with Yingbu. If he were trapped here, he probably wouldn't be much better than Yingbu.
Tang Yin asked: "Do we still have meat and wine?"
"Yes! When we came out of Chongcheng, I had people prepare a lot." Qiu Zhen said with a smile.
"That's just right. Prepare some more wine and meat. Let's go to Baguan to eat and drink." Tang Yin smiled and stood up.
When he left and returned, Yingbu was quite surprised, especially when he saw him bringing wine and meat, Yingbu was even more surprised.
Without any fuss, Tang Yin placed the wine and meat on the table one by one, waved his hand and said, "General Ying, wouldn't you mind drinking and dining with me?"
Yingbu came back to his senses, shook his head repeatedly, and said hurriedly: "How could it be possible?!" As he spoke, as if he was afraid that Tang Yin would take away the meat and wine, he sat down as quickly as possible, and first grabbed a large piece
He stuffed the beef into his mouth, then picked up the wine bowl, pretending to drink, but as soon as the rim of the bowl reached his mouth, his movements suddenly froze, he laughed dryly, looked at Tang Yin, and said: "General Tang, in the army
No drinking allowed, you...are not here to test me?"
Tang Yin laughed in front of him, picked up his wine bowl, and said, "General Ying, I'll do it first as a courtesy!" As he spoke, he drank the wine in the bowl with a gulp.
Feng people have a strong temperament, and the wine is also spicy. When you drink it, it feels like hundreds of knives are cutting your intestines, but when you drink it, it is extremely enjoyable and enjoyable.
Seeing that he drank the wine first, Yingbu didn't hesitate, raised his head, and drank the wine dry. He let out a long sigh and praised: "Good wine, really good wine!" As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin and said with a smile.
: "I remember the last time I had a drink, it must have been last year, no, it seems...two or three years ago!"
Seeing him smiling happily, Tang Yin felt bitter. He picked up the wine jar, filled it with wine, and said: "Drink!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
The two of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. Qiu Zhen had a good capacity for drinking, but he couldn't compare with the two of them. After a few bowls, his face turned red and he looked drunk.
But Tang Yin and Ying Bu drank one bowl after another. In a short time, the two full jars of wine had already reached the bottom.
Tang Yin's drinking capacity is very good, and he is not even slightly drunk at this time. Although Yingbu's drinking capacity is also good, his tongue is a little straight when he speaks now.
He patted Tang Yin on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Tang, I really envy you. You can work in the capital. It's not like me. It's been six years. I haven't been home for six years!" There was only conversation at the wine table.
When it comes to private matters, instead of talking about government affairs, the terms of reference have become those of brothers and sisters.
"Why don't you apply to Wang Ting for transfer?" Tang Yin opened a jar of new wine.
"Why not?!" Yingbu shook his head like a rattle and said, "When I first came here, I applied for transfer orders almost every month, but every time I sent it to the capital, nothing came of it. I finally got a reply.
He just said that he told me to stay calm in Baguan, stick to my position strictly, and not rush back to the capital and other such nonsense!"
"Now, I have completely figured it out. Applying for transfer orders is in vain. Only lunatics are willing to come to this kind of ghost place." Yingbu drank another bowl of wine and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I really hope that Mo's army will
If we can attack them, I will be completely relieved, but I still can't worry about the more than 10,000 brothers below. They are suffering more than me..."
Tang Yin could understand the difficulties of Yingbu and the defenders below, but he could do nothing and couldn't help with anything. He could only pick up the wine bowl and said: "One drink will solve a thousand worries! Do it!"
"One drink will solve a thousand sorrows. That's good, let's do it!"
On this day, Ying Bu was very drunk and Tang Yin was slightly tipsy, but a simple drink allowed the two to form a friendship, and Ying Bu really helped Tang Yin in the future. This is what is called unintentional intervention.
The eldest princess of the imperial family did not keep Tang Yin waiting for too long. The next morning, Her Royal Highness's team arrived at Ba Pass.
The first thing to be discovered was the defenders on the tower. They saw a team flying the banner of the Mo army from a distance. The faces of the defenders suddenly changed with fright. They immediately ran down the city wall and went to inform Yingbu.
At this time, Yingbu and Tang Yin were still sleeping soundly. Suddenly they heard that Mo Jun had appeared in a large group. They both sobered up, put on their armors and hurried up the city wall.
The two stood at the top of the city and looked around. They saw a cavalry team of more than 20,000 people moving quickly in the distance. The team was flying the banner of the Mo country. As they got closer and closer, they saw more clearly. This cavalry team , it is really a strong army and strong horses, the horses are wearing war robes, and the knights on them are wearing light helmets. With such a fast marching speed, so many cavalry can still maintain an orderly formation. The momentum alone is enough to intimidate people.
What an elite cavalry! Tang Yin didn't know that Mo State was famous for its elite cavalry.
"These are not enemy troops!" Yingbu only glanced twice before he judged and said: "There is an imperial flag in the center of the team. This should be the escort of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up and looked carefully. Sure enough, in the center of the team there was a golden flag with two big characters - Haotian - embroidered with flying dragons and phoenixes.
Soon, the cavalry stopped at a stone's throw in front of Ba Pass. Then, two horses quickly ran out from the team. The second general on the horse, wearing a light chain armor and a long white tassel on his head, arrived at Ba Pass like lightning. Under the city, one of them shouted loudly: "I am Liao Gang, the flying cavalry general of Mo State. I am escorting Her Royal Highness here to ask your general to come out and speak!"
This general is in his twenties, speaks with confidence, and his words are as loud as a bell.
Sure enough! Tang Yin nodded to Ying Bu and said, "I will go to greet Her Royal Highness, while General Ying will stay in the city in case of any unexpected events!"
"Okay!" Yingbu reminded: "General Tang, be careful!"
"No need to worry." As he spoke, Tang Yin quickly ran down the city wall.
Yingbu lay prone at the top of the city and shouted down: "I am General Yingbu, Lord of Overlord, please wait a moment."
The young general who called himself Liogang raised his head and looked at Yingbu for a few times, curled his lips, and a look of contempt appeared on his face. He did not reply, but snorted through his nostrils as a response.
Not long after, Tang Yin led two thousand captains, Guyue and Lotte, and two thousand soldiers out of the city gate.
He rode up to Liao Gang and said, "Your Excellency, you can send your Royal Highness's team over."
Liao Gang frowned and looked at Tang Yin. He felt that this general was much more energetic than the one on the city wall. He asked: "Are you..."
"Commander of the Feng Kingdom's Second Corps, Tang Yin!"
"Oh! It turns out he's just a corps commander." Liaogang sneered and said, "It seems that Feng Ning fought and you lost miserably. You could only send a corps commander to greet Her Royal Highness. It's ridiculous!"
"Haha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said: "To protect the safety of Her Royal Highness, the regiment commander is enough. How can your country mobilize troops like this? Is it really that peaceful in Mo Country?"
Liaogang's face turned red when Tang Yin said it, and he said angrily: "This is a sign of respect for Her Royal Highness the Princess. Don't you even understand this?"
