Tang Yin and Cheng Jin continued to use their identities as Orions as cover, successfully passed the inspection and entered Crouching Pass.
If Crouching Pass was just a dispensable fortress in the past, now it has become an important military pass in Ningguo. The facilities inside are being renovated and rebuilt, the city walls are being heightened and reinforced, and various city defense weapons are being continuously supplied.
Ship it in.
It can be seen that Lin Han has made the worst plan and is preparing to use Crouching Pass as a barrier to prevent the wind and troops from outside the pass if the county is lost.
The two of them took advantage of the short period of time to inspect the situation inside Crouching Pass several times. After passing the pass, Cheng Jin frowned and whispered: "Brother, Crouching Pass is inherently dangerous. If you let
If the Ning people continue to consolidate like this, it may be difficult to break through when our army arrives here."
Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully. After walking for a while, he got off his horse and walked towards the forest on the roadside and said, "Cheng Jin, let's go and have a look."
Not understanding what he was going to do, Cheng Jin also hurriedly dismounted and followed Tang Yin.
There are high mountains and cliffs on both sides of Wohu Pass, and Crouching Pass is located in the middle of the two cliffs.
The mountain forest is dense and overgrown with grass and vines. After walking for a while, the horse cannot enter. Tang Yin tied the horse to an old tree, then drew out his machete and walked inside while cutting the grass and vines. Cheng Jin followed inexplicably.
Behind his back, I wanted to ask several times, but finally held back.
After walking through the forest and arriving at the cliff, Tang Yin raised his eyes and looked up. Well, the cliff was as smooth as a mirror. Even a skilled spiritual cultivator would have to put in a lot of effort to climb up.
Without any warning, Tang Yin's hands emitted black mist, which instantly condensed into spiritual armor. He stretched out his palms flatly and thrust forward, only to hear a click. Under his spiritual armor, the hard mountain rocks were like tofu.
, all five fingers sank into the cliff.
He retracted his fingers and pulled out his palm. A small hole suddenly appeared on the cliff, and a rock appeared in his palm. He weighed the rock slightly, and then grabbed it with a little force. The rock shattered with a sound, and the thin stone was
The crumbs slipped from the cracks in his palms.
After clapping his hands, Tang Yin dismissed his spiritual armor, turned around and smiled at Cheng Jin, saying, "Go back!"
After spending so much effort to come here, he didn't see him doing anything, so he went back again. Cheng Jin really couldn't understand what Tang Yin was thinking.
While walking back, Tang Yinbian said: "Wohu Pass has been abandoned for a long time. It is almost being rebuilt now and requires a lot of labor. We can let the spies from Tianyan and Diwang pretend to be Ning people and sneak in in case of emergency.
."
Cheng Jin nodded and said, "Brother, isn't it safer to do this with a secret arrow?"
"It is easy for dark spiritual cultivators to see through their identities. Most of the brothers of Tianyan and Diwang are ordinary people."
"If you take the Sanling Pill beforehand and be more cautious, Ning Ren may not be able to see the flaw."
"Yeah!" Tang Yin thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can send some Dark Arrow brothers to sneak in, but you don't need too many."
"I obey," Cheng Jin agreed, and asked curiously, "Why did the king come here suddenly?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "You will know later."
Passing Wohu Pass, passing through several Ningjun fortresses, and then heading towards Kouwan City. Kouwan City is located in the westernmost part of Xiaoling County, bordering Yunkou County. Originally Kouwan was just an inconspicuous small town, but now with the wind
With the army suppressing the territory, Kouwan became the busiest city in Xiaoling County.
The city can be described as overcrowded. The people of Xiaoling County fled westward on a large scale, and many of them stayed in Kouwan. The streets and alleys in the city were filled with pedestrians, swarms of street vendors, and shouts.
Even during the New Year celebrations, Kouwan has never been so lively and prosperous.
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin didn't stop much in the city, replenished food and water, and then passed directly through the city and entered Yunkou County.
When we arrived at Yunkou County, we felt like we were back in Hedong and Hexi. This is one of the important grain-producing areas in Ningxia. The annual grain production is second only to Hedong. Looking around, we can see that the vast plains are all plains. Of course, there is no danger in Yunkou County.
But after all, Yunkou County is a large county, with well-developed industry, commerce, and agriculture, and a large population. When entering Yunkou County, the biggest impression that Tang Yin and Cheng Jin felt was the large number of local troops.
They felt right. Yunkou County has the largest number of local troops in Ningguo. The total military strength in each county and city is close to 150,000. There are twelve cities in the county, and each city has more than one garrison.
Thousands, if the militia forces in various towns and villages are added in, their strength can reach 200,000.
Such a large county with a vast territory and a large number of troops was a piece of fat in the eyes of Tang Yin and Cheng Jin, but it was not easy to chew. If they were to fight one city after another, their own army would be dragged to death.
here.
On the way, Cheng Jin said: "Brother, although Yunkou County is a plain area, the territory is too large, and the strength of the local army cannot be underestimated. It will not be easy to win this battle!"
"That's right!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "It seems that we have another task when we go to Liangzhou this time."
"What?"
"We have to find a way to remove the local army from Yunkou County."
"Ah?" Cheng Jin was secretly surprised, then nodded thoughtfully and said: "If we can get rid of the local army here, Yunkou County won't have anything to worry about. The vast plain here is very easy to march.
, if there is no enemy force to stop it, it will only take five days for our army to pass through Yunkou County."
"Yes! If we use cavalry, we can reach Liangzhou in two days."
"But, will Yan Chu agree to transfer the troops from Yunchou County?"
"Of course not." Tang Yin murmured with a smile: "So, we have to work harder..."
There was no talking on the way. Tang Yin and Cheng Jin passed through Yunchou County smoothly, and walking forward, they reached Liangzhou, the capital of Ning State.
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin arrived in Liangzhou at 10:00 in the morning. At this time, they caught up with the mist falling from the sky. Looking up, they saw the huge Liangzhou City shrouded in mist. Looking inside, there were many high towers and pavilions, hazy, like a fairyland.
The two of them sat on the horse and looked a little dazed for a while.
This is Ningdu, where the Ningguo court is located!
Who would have thought that just two years ago, Ning's army was still besieging Yancheng, the capital of Feng, and two years later, the Feng army's spearhead was directed at Liangzhou.
After a long while, Cheng Jinfang came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh: "If there is no king, I am afraid that our Feng army will not be able to conquer Liangzhou in another hundred years!"
Tang Yin was happy, turned around and glanced at Cheng Jin, saying: "What does a mere Liangzhou mean? I want to conquer a larger territory!"
Cheng Jin looked at Tang Yin in surprise and asked: "Your Majesty... after eldest brother destroys Ning, do you still want to send troops?"
Tang Yin said quietly: "By annexing the eight counties of Ning State, the territory of Feng State will almost double, and the national strength will be increased several times. Whoever dares to disobey the imperial court's orders will have the Feng State's army step on his head!"
"
Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and then asked in shock: "Brother, do you want to dominate the world?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "It is to help the imperial court dominate the world."
"Then the eldest brother will depose the emperor?"
Tang Yin was shaken, looked at Cheng Jin, smiled and said: "No, I... am a loyal minister! How could I do such a treasonous thing?"
Cheng Jin smiled bitterly. The king's words seemed like a joke, half true and half false. However, even if the king has no intention of ascending to the throne at this time, it does not mean that he will not do so in the future. There is a huge difference between the prince of a country and the emperor of the world. In the future,
Who can tell me clearly?
He seemed to be talking to himself or to Tang Yin, saying: "Feng Country can change its dynasty, why can't the Empire?"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, said nothing, put his feet on the horse's belly, and shouted: "Drive!"
The horse neighed, jumped out, spread its hooves, and headed straight for Liangzhou. Cheng Jin did not dare to delay, and hurriedly urged the horse to follow Tang Yin.
The war in the eastern and southern borders of Ning Kingdom was in full swing, but it did not affect the prosperity and prosperity of the capital at all. Even in the early morning, people entering the city formed a long queue.
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin mingled among the people, entered the city, and walked on the streets of Liangzhou. The two of them felt that firstly, there were many people. Liangzhou City was crowded with pedestrians, and they were everywhere. Secondly, the towers were high.
Obviously, the construction industry in Ningguo is very developed. Four- and five-story pavilions are rare in Fengguo, but they can be seen everywhere here. Tang Yin even took a closer look. The foundations of high-rise pavilions are generally made of stone, and the upper floors are made of stone.
It is made of wood and is very sturdy without any shaky feeling.
After reading it, Tang Yin also nodded secretly. The civilization of Ning State was much higher than that of Feng State, not only in the construction industry, but also in all other fields. Because of this, Tang Yin coveted Ning State and annexed the eight counties of Ning State.
, will undoubtedly add a large number of talents in various fields to Fengguo, and enable Fengjun’s civilization and national strength to leap forward in a short period of time.
"Brother, what are we doing now?" After being dazzled by the surprise, Cheng Jin gradually regained his composure and asked Tang Yindao beside him.
Tang Yin said: "Find an inn to stay in first."
Cheng Jin nodded, and then whispered: "Brother, do we need to dress up again? After all, there are many Ning troops who have fought with us. It would be terrible if we are recognized on the street."
Tang Yin secretly praised Cheng Jin for his carefulness. He raised his hand to lift the sweat towel wrapped around his neck, covered his mouth, and said, "That's enough. Even if we meet someone who has met us, they may not dare to recognize us."
This is true. Who dares to believe that the majestic Wind King would appear in Liangzhou with only one entourage?
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tang Yin and Cheng Jin found an inconspicuous small inn and stayed temporarily. Next, Tang Yin began to choose the person he wanted to win over.
His first target was Ning Guo's right minister Zhang Zhihong.
In the Ningguo court, the hatred between Zhang Zhihong and Tang Yin was deep. Zhang Zhihong's son Zhang Chu was once captured by Tang Yin and tortured into a useless person. However, it was precisely because Zhang Zhihong hated himself. If he could win him over, let him
