Chapter 49

Chapter 49

After Zhang Xin came to Ningdi, he relied on the authority delegated by Tang Yin to arrest local officials unscrupulously and with great fanfare. In just one month, he arrested nearly 200 officials. The whole city was in trouble for a while, and everyone in the officialdom was in danger.

He did not let go without reason, and those arrested were not upright officials. Up to this point, Zhang Xin had done well, but then it was not the same.

The families of the arrested officials resorted to the old trick of sending money to buy them off. Money can buy officials, and they believe that money can also buy lives.

The families of these officials came to Liangzhou one after another, either openly or secretly, to visit Zhang Xin. At the same time, they also sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Zhang Xin did not refuse anyone who came, and accepted all the orders. In a few days, he made a lot of money.

Full of abundance.

However, he accepted the money, but he did not let go of all the people. He took out the list of arrested officials, read it from beginning to end, and crossed out whose names he liked. He crossed out three names.

After naming the ten names, no more scratches were made, and the order was given to release all the thirty people who had been crossed out, and to execute all the remaining ones.

This killing killed a full 155 people. As for the thirty people he released, he used insufficient evidence as an excuse.

Zhang Xin's trip is both to get money and to make political achievements. If he only collects money and doesn't release people, no one will give him money in the future. If he collects money and releases people, it won't take long for the news to spread.

The news would spread to Yancheng, and the trust that the king had finally built up in him would immediately disappear, so he collected all the money but only released thirty people.

This is a typical villain's behavior, but his bold killing of corrupt officials did have a great deterrent effect, which corrected the official atmosphere of Ningdi and made him leave an excellent mark among the people of Ningdi.

People even spontaneously signed a letter and sent it to Yancheng to commend Zhang Xin.

His trip to Ningdi was very fruitful. Not only did he earn a lot of money, but he also earned the nickname "Zhang Qingtian", gaining both fame and fortune. Ziying and Zhang Xin are a gentleman and a small person, but in Ning

Here, Ziying was called 'Zitu' by people, but Zhang Xin became 'Qingtian' in the eyes of the people. The contrast is so great that it is both laughable and thought-provoking.

Of course, Zhang Xin couldn't just collect money and do nothing when he arrived in Ningdi. He didn't dare to be vague about the logistics support of the Sanshui Army. As soon as the grain, grass and materials from various counties were transported to Liangzhou, he immediately started making arrangements and continuously transferred them.

Go to Xingcheng where the Sanshui Army is located to ensure the needs of the soldiers ahead.

It would be too easy for Feng Guo to find an excuse for Bingtia. Even if he couldn't find one, he could still make one himself.

There are two small villages at the junction of Ningdi and Tia, namely Baicun and Huangcun. Liang Qi selected these two places to create an excuse for his side to send troops. He sent out the cavalry of the Sanshui Army and replaced them with the Duji prepared in advance.

They wore military armor and launched a surprise attack on Baihuang Village.

These two cavalrymen, carrying the flag of the Duki Army and wearing the armor of the Duki Army, rushed into the small village. They killed everyone they met, robbed any property they saw, killed, burned, raped and looted.

The mountain village instantly turned into a hell on earth.

The two cavalrymen deliberately left a small number of villagers alive and then galloped away.

After the cavalry left, Baihuang Village had turned into a sea of ​​fire, with corpses all over the ground and blood staining the ground red. The surviving villagers from the two villages ran to Xingcheng for help, and they insisted that it was Du Jijun who had done this. This kind of thing had never happened before.

It had never happened before, and the lord of Xingcheng didn't know how to solve it like this, so he could only seek Liang Qi's opinion.

Liang Qi sent an envoy in a pretentious manner, entered Tia, went to find Du Jijun, and ordered Du Jijun to strictly investigate the murderers of his country's villagers and bring justice to Feng Country. Du Jijun had never done such a thing.

, where can the murderer be found? But Feng Guo insisted that it was Du Jijun who did it. Du Jijun had no choice but to evade it again and again, hoping that Feng Guo would give them more time.

The Sanshui Army was a large army of 100,000 people. It marched from Tongmen to Xingcheng with great momentum. Du Ji also heard about it. Du Ji expected that the Feng Army had the intention to march into Tia, but they did not expect Feng

The army entered Tia to fight the Duji army, but they suspected that the Feng army wanted to snatch the fruits of Duji's victory and get a share of the pie in Tia.

For fear that the Feng Army would enter Tia and carve up their own interests, during this period, Du Ji's army stepped up its offensive to besiege Tia City. On the other hand, Du Ji's royal court also sent envoys to Yancheng, which shows that Du Ji is capable and capable.

With the strength to annex Tia, there is no need for the Feng Kingdom to send troops to help.

Tang Yin met with Du Ji's envoy, but sent him away hastily without talking about any substantive content. On the third day after Du Ji's envoy left Yancheng, Tang Yin suddenly issued a national edict explaining the relationship between Fengguo and Ti.

The white and yellow two on the Asian border

The village was attacked by Du Ji's army, and hundreds of innocent people from Feng State were brutally murdered by Du Ji's army. In the edict, Du Ji stated in a tough tone that Du Ji must punish the murderer severely within half a month.

Retaliatory action will be taken.

Naturally, this edict was not sent directly to Du Ji, but the news spread to Du Ji. It was not until this time that the incident really attracted the attention of Du Ji's court.

In fact, Du Ji's court is not sure whether Du Ji's army actually attacked the villages of Feng Kingdom. Now Du Ji's army has been disrupted in Tia. The two-year battle has greatly worn down Du Ji's army.

military discipline and morale, massacres of civilians and looting of property often occur, will there be Du Ji military private

No one can be sure about making a claim to cross the border and attack the villages of Feng Country. But for the allies, even if something similar happened, it would not be such a big deal. It would only be accompanied by some money, which surprised the Du Qi court.

What's surprising is that Tang Yin actually issued a national document blaming Du Ji for this matter.

Du Ji wanted to find the murderer, but there was nowhere to find it. After that, the Du Ji court had no choice but to send envoys to the Feng Kingdom to discuss with the Feng Kingdom court how to resolve the matter.

The negotiation between the two countries is that one side is sincere and the other side is deliberately looking for trouble. How can the negotiation be successful? After two days of negotiation, the two sides did not reach any consensus. At this time, the half-month appointment in the imperial edict had already passed, and Tang Yin personally ordered,

Cut off the ears and nose of the Duji messenger and drive him out of the Wind Kingdom.

On the same day that he drove away Du Ji's envoy, Tang Yin issued a "Sign to the World", angrily accusing Du Ji of conniving the army, invading Feng State, massacring Feng people, and showing no intention of repentance. Feng State officially declared war on Du Ji.

The day after Tang Yin announced the declaration of war, the Sanshui Army stationed in Xingcheng advanced into Tia.

War was declared on the same day and troops were sent out the next day. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was a premeditated war.

As a result, the alliance between Fengguo and Duji officially broke down, and the two countries changed from allies to enemies.

Between the two warring parties, the just side will win in the end. This is nonsense. How can there be any truth in deciding the outcome of the war before it even begins? Only the final winner can have the right to speak, and only with the right to speak can he become a just person.

On the one hand, this is the eternal principle of all wars at home and abroad.

The sudden entry of the Feng Army into the war and the fight with the Duji Army was beyond the expectations of the Duji court and the Duji Army. The Duji Army in Tia was unprepared and was caught off guard. Sanshui

Ten days before the army entered Tia, it was overwhelming and captured six Tia towns that had fallen to Duki's hands, and killed and wounded more than 20,000 Duki troops.

Soon, the Sanshui Army approached the capital of Tia, Tia City.

The commander-in-chief of the Duki Army in Tia was named Remy Azabao. At this time, he was personally leading an army to besiege the city of Tia.

In order to annex Tia, Du Qi has invested more than 200,000 troops. The army that besieged the city of Tia alone numbered 120,000. However, with such a large army, the city of Tia has not been conquered after nearly two years of fighting.

The Kiwi Army also changed its commanders several times, with Remy Azabao being the third commander-in-chief.

The Azabao family is a famous family in Duqui. Remy Azabao is only in his thirties and already holds the title of earl. He is resourceful and brave and good at fighting. He can be regarded as one of the best generals in Duqui. This time

He was transferred to Tia and served as the commander-in-chief of the Duki army. One of the reasons was that Alden Ehrenreich, the king of Duki, opposed him.

secondly, he was asked to perform meritorious service. After all, the city of Tia has been besieged for nearly two years, and the food and grass stored in the city have been almost exhausted. It is only a matter of time before the city is broken. Remy Aza Baobao

I thought it would be an easy job, but I didn't expect to meet Feng Kingdom's elite Sanshui Army on the battlefield.

The Sanshui Army only has 100,000 people, while the Duki Army that besieged Tia City has 120,000 troops. Adding in the stragglers who had previously been defeated, the Duki Army has reached 150,000 people. They have an advantage in numbers, but they

They are besieging the city of Tia, and their troops are scattered. Once the Sanshui Army attacks, they will be unable to resist.

But at this time, Remi Azabao was asked to withdraw his troops and abandon the siege. He was unwilling to do so. After discussing with his generals, he decided to allocate 30,000 elite troops to garrison in Var Town in the east. As long as he could withstand Sanshui

After a few months of fighting, they are confident that they can take over the city of Tia.

Remi Azabao sent his brother Ed Azabao to command these 30,000 elite troops to garrison in Vaal Town, and prepared sufficient supplies of food, grass and baggage to prepare for a protracted war with the Sanshui Army.

Val Town is a typical castle-like building. The town is not big, with a population of less than 20,000. The city wall is not tall and strong, but its location is very important. It is located on the only way from Feng Kingdom to Tia City.

, if the Sanshui Army wants to relieve Tia City from being trapped, it must first remove the nail in Val Town.

Of course, the Sanshui Army can directly circle the city, but with the existence of the thorn in Val Town, the logistics of the Sanshui Army cannot be guaranteed. If the Duki Army outside Tia City cannot be defeated in one battle, then the Sanshui Army will

The general is facing the risk of running out of food and supplies. No army commander dares to risk the lives of the entire army so hastily to fight an uncertain war.

Such a shrewd Liang Qi would not do this. Here in Val Town, he must win this tough battle and capture this important town. Similarly, Du Jijun wants to buy enough time to capture the exhausted Ti

If you want to conquer Yacheng, you must defend Val Town and keep the Sanshui Army out of the town.

Both sides are determined to win this battle and can only succeed, not fail.
