"Get up!" Tang Yin put down the scroll in his hand and waved his hand casually.

"King Xie. Zhang Xin got up, stood with his hands down in a proper manner, and stood aside.

Tang Yin glanced at Zhang Xin, waved his hand, and said, "What are you doing there?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xin replied, and sat down across from Tang Yin's desk.

Seeing that he was restrained and sat in a precarious manner, Tang Yin couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhang Xin, you are my powerful minister, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me, right?"

It is not easy to be Tang Yin to become an important minister, Zhang Xin was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled again, no longer talking nonsense, and asked bluntly: "Why did you enter the palace and go out of the city to pick me up?"

Zhang Xin Zhengse said: "Since the king became the king of the wind, he led the gale to win many battles, first to pacify the trouble in the north, and then recaptured the east of the river, and then annexed the eight counties of Ningguo, so that I dominated the north with a strong wind, and the merit was great, no one can compare, not to mention that the king also has the merit of saving the driver, this time to marry the princess of Besa, the significance is far-reaching, the sky personally went out of the city to welcome, it is also natural, but also can show the respect of the king of heaven, so that the king is famous. ”

Tang Yin nodded, and then asked with a smile, "Then why did you grab the toast?"

Zhang Xin hurriedly left his seat, knelt down again and said, "Please forgive the king!"

Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Get up, I don't blame you." ”

Zhang Xin got up and said: "The minister * Tian greets the king, the sky will inevitably be angry with the king, holding a grudge, the minister is not sure whether the sky will poison the wine, and does not directly remind the king, so he can only drink the toast of the sky first, in order to test whether the wine is poisonous." ”

And so it was. Tang Yin had already guessed Zhang Xin's intentions, and now that he is like this, Tang Yin is not surprised. He asked with a smile: "Zhang Xin, haven't you thought about it? If the wine is poisonous, you won't be able to live if you drink it." ”

Zhang Xin's face turned red, and he said excitedly: "The country of wind can have no ministers, but it must not be without the king, the king is the body of ten thousand gold, and the minister is just a rotten life, if you can use the minister's life to keep the king safe, even if the minister is broken, he will not give up." ”

Tang Yin was deeply moved by his generous words, although there may be exaggerated elements, but it is a fact that Zhang Xin disregarded his personal safety and tried the wine with his body, how could such a person not let Tang Yin trust him and reuse him?

Tang Yin sighed lightly and said, "It's your luck this time, don't take such a risk in the future." I'm not afraid of poisonous wine, I'm afraid of losing my right-hand man, do you understand Zhang Xin?"

Zhang Xinken took such a big risk, what he wanted to change was Tang Yin's words, he knelt on the ground again, and choked up: "How can the minister be so virtuous, he is so loved by the king......"

Tang Yin stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Xin up, and said: "I have obtained your loyalty and ability, I regard you as the pillar of the gale, and I hope you can do your best in the future." ”

"Weichen is duty-bound!" Zhang Xin said without thinking.

Tang Yin nodded, pulled Zhang Xin to sit back on the collapse, pondered for a moment, and said: "My country is about to send troops to Tia, and I will pass the book to Tongmen tonight, and transfer the Sanshui Army stationed in Tongmen to the west of Ningdi." ”

Zhang Xin said: "My country has now married Besa, and there is no need to worry about the future, and it is the right time to send troops to Tia." ”

"Your law is the same as Qiu Zhen's. Tang Yin said: "The Sanshui Army went to Tiya to fight, and Ningdi had to take on the logistics supply of our army, but Cai Song and Zhang Zhe have always been at odds, and they often impeach each other when they pass on books, and the court needs to send people to Ningdi to reconcile and be in charge of the logistics of our army.

"The king has a command, and the minister will do his best. Zhang Xin arched his hand.

I'll leave this matter to you. As he spoke, Tang Yin untied his sword, slapped it on the table, pushed it in front of Zhang Xin, and said: "You go to Ningdi this time to collect grain, grass, military salaries, and materials.

When Zhang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, the authority to cut first and then play is too great, and it is too deterrent, how much trust and attention does this need to make the monarch delegate such a large authority? Zhang Xin was stunned there, staring blankly at the saber in front of him, after a while he came back to his senses, his hands trembled and grasped the saber tightly, and then he knelt on the ground, held the sword with both hands, raised it high, and said in a trembling voice: "Although the king can rest assured, the minister guarantees the logistics of our soldiers with the head of the head!"

Tang Yin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you go back and get ready, and go." ”

"Yes, King!"

Zhang Xin bowed and exited the study. He left the palace almost all the way, until he returned to his home, he felt that his body was light, as if he was stepping on the clouds. At this moment, he deeply felt that his adventure today was worth it, and it was very worthwhile, and until now, the king really trusted and reused him.

Tang Yin sent a message to Tongmen and transferred the Sanshui Army stationed in Tongmen to move westward.

After being stationed in Tongmen for such a long time, the Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuanrang had already prepared everything and was ready to go. There is nothing to do on weekdays, and although a large number of soldiers have joined in the Sanshui Army, through the intensive training during this time, the combat effectiveness has improved a lot.

After receiving Tang Yin's order, Liang Qi did not delay for a moment, and immediately waved his army westward, and it only took half a month to cross most of Ningdi and enter Liangzhou, the former capital of Ning. Ningguo has been destroyed, and Liangzhou is no longer the capital of a country, but it is still an important economic, cultural and political center of Ningdi.

Arriving in Liangzhou, Liang Qi ordered the whole army to be stationed outside the city for a few days of temporary rest. After half a month of rapid marching, the Sanshui Army was also exhausted, and if it did not rest, I am afraid that it would disperse before the war began.

Zhang Zhe and Cai Song in Liangzhou were naturally hospitable, especially Cai Song, who was afraid of being robbed by Zhang Zhe, directly took Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuanrang to his home, and then did not let the two leave, and wanted the two of them to stay in his house for the night.

Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan were gracious, and Cai Song was really thoughtful, so the two of them settled down in Cai's mansion.

Liang Qi also planned to rest in Liangzhou for a few more days, but since he arrived in Caifu, he has not stopped, and there is an endless stream of people who come to see him every day, some are coming to set up, some are here to pull relationships, and many are giving gifts to seek jobs. Liang Qicong was accustomed to such a scene, and he hated it deeply, and he led the whole army to continue westward after only two days in Liangzhou.

After passing through Liangzhou, the Sanshui Army no longer marched in a hurry, but went to the west unhurriedly to maintain the physical strength and combat strength of the whole army.

After more than half a month of marching, the Sanshui Army arrived at the western border of Ningdi and marched to the city.

The city is located at the junction of Ningdi and Tia, and twenty miles west of the city is the territory of Tia. Because of its proximity to Tia, the city was deeply influenced by Tia, and even the castle was built in a castle-like style, with towers in the city, tall and magnificent, compared with other Ningdi cities, it was completely exotic.

In the past, the city was prosperous, and there were many merchants in the city, and the Tia people in the city accounted for two to three percent of the city's population, but now the Ning Kingdom was swallowed by the two countries of Feng and Moxio, and Tia was invaded by Duki, and most of the Tia people in the city returned to the country, and the prosperity of the city also weakened a lot.

The Sanshui Army was stationed in Xingcheng, and Liang Qi began to actively prepare, creating and looking for an excuse to send troops.

On the other side, Liangzhou, the Sanshui Army left, and Zhang Xin, who was appointed by Tang Yin, arrived.

After Zhang Xin arrived in Liangzhou, he immediately ordered all counties and counties in Ningdi to send grain, grass, gold and silver and materials to Liangzhou, and he set corresponding goals for each county, ordering the counties that are closer to Liangzhou to be delivered within 10 days, and the farther counties to be delivered within 20 days, even if they are far away, it will not take more than a month.

Next, the grain, grass, gold and silver, and materials of the counties and counties of Ningdi began to enter Liangzhou in an endless stream, and after ten days, the counties and counties closer to Liangzhou completed the task as scheduled, but Zhang Xin did not give up, he drafted a list of officials in these counties, and then ordered the Eagle Army left in Liangzhou to arrest these officials immediately with Tang Yin's sword.

There are more than 30 officials involved in his list, and their official positions are very different, from counties to cities, all of which are affected, Ying doesn't know what kind of nerves this Lord Zhang has, but the king's sword is in his hand, and there is no difference between the king's presence in person, Ying still according to his intentions, arrest all the officials involved in the list.

Twenty days later, the second batch of materials arrived, Zhang Xin still drafted a blacklist, handed over to Ying, and continued to arrest, this time more officials were arrested than the last time, there were more than 50 people, and a month later, the third batch of materials was delivered, Zhang Xin still did not let go of the officials of these counties, and drew up a list of more than 100 officials.

After three arrests, the Ningdi officials who were taken by Zhang Xin were close to 200 people, and there was no need to examine them one by one, Zhang Xin closed his eyes and convicted these arrested officials, such as bending the law for bribes, looting people's wealth, preying on the common people, and doing things unfavorably.

Although these charges have not been examined, they are convicted of one by one. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Cai Song, who is in charge of Ningdi, is a huge greedy, others gave him a heavy gift, and bought an official and a half position, which is naturally a greedy loot that becomes a profit, and earns back the money he gave out ten times and a hundred times.

Along the way, the people of Ningdi judged that Ningdi's corruption and bribery had been corroded to the bone, and he would not miss this unique opportunity to show himself, so after arriving in Liangzhou, he arrested nearly 200 Ningdi magistrates in one go, and all of them were sentenced to death for the crimes he added casually.
