Chapter 152

Taking advantage of the opportunity to search Yuhe's official residence, the Plains Army took out more than a dozen gold utensils from the city-state of Besa and handed them to Tang Yin in front of many officials, saying that they had been found from the treasury of the county capital.

Tang Yin picked up a gold artifact, shook it in front of the officials, and said, "How about it, everyone has seen it, this is the benefit that the barbarians gave to Yu He!"

Of course, everyone could recognize that these gold artifacts were from the barbarian state, but they were not really found from Yuhe's silver treasury, so it was hard to say, but at this time, no one dared to question Tang Yin, just nodded vigorously.

At this time, Qiu Zhen approached from outside, pretending to take out several letters, claiming that they were evidence of Yu He's fornication with the barbarians.

Tang Yin said to Qiu Zhen: "Draft a document, I want to go up to the king!"

"Yes, my lord!" Qiu Zhen nodded in response.

Soon, Qiu Zhen wrote the document and handed it to Tang Yin for review.

The latter took it and read softly: "The thief Yu He, fornicating with the barbarians, accepting property, leading troops to invade, the evidence is conclusive, but I am afraid that the situation will expand, so the minister will kill him first, and I hope that the king will see it." Now Tianyuan County has no leader, and there are soldiers who can't move, so please choose a candidate quickly, and you can also quickly help the capital. ”

After reading it, Tang Yin felt that there was nothing wrong, so he immediately returned it to Qiu Zhen and said, "Send someone to Yancheng on a fast horse immediately!"

"Don ...... Lord Tang!" Zhang Zhicheng called in a low voice with a trembling voice.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yin turned around and looked at him with a questioning expression.

"There are carrier pigeons in the county that transmit information to the capital, and Lord Tang's Shangshu can be transmitted through carrier pigeons, and they can be sent to Yancheng in two days, which can save a lot of time. ”

"Oh?" Tang Yin smiled when he heard this, and muttered, "It turns out that it is still such a convenient method!"

Tianyuan County is far away from Yancheng, and it will take at least ten days and half a month to deliver a message, and there are carrier pigeons to do it for you, which can greatly shorten the time.

Zhang Zhicheng reminded Tang Yin like this, firstly, to curry favor, and secondly, he also wanted to know the attitude of the royal court after learning about this matter as soon as possible, after all, he was now detained by Tang Yin, and his surname was not guaranteed, and the longer the delay, the greater the risk.

If it is an ordinary sparseness, it is a great disrespect to the king, but if it is an emergency military situation, it can be taken in this way. After sending Shang Shu away, Tang Yin stayed in the county capital, watching the people in the palace while waiting for the reply from the royal court.

During this period, Qiu Zhen suggested to Tang Yin that Shangguan Yuanji be transferred to Shunzhou immediately to take over all affairs in the county.

Tang Yin felt that at this time, the royal court had not sent back the approval document, and it was not certain who would take over Shunzhou, so it was too early to transfer Shangguan Yuanji now.

Qiu Zhen was unimpressed by his concerns, and Zhengse said, "My lord, no matter who the king decides to replace Yu Yi, you must be the county guard. ”

"Why?" As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Tang Yin was puzzled, the other generals were also inexplicable.

Qiu Zhen said quietly: "Since the time when the adults decided to kill Yu He, it is equivalent to leading us to a road of no return. If someone else is allowed to be the head of the county, he will definitely continue to investigate the rest of the matter, and he will soon find out the flaws, and the adults will definitely be inseparable from it at that time, so no matter who comes to be the head of the county, we will have to get rid of one until the adults sit in this position, if it causes the dissatisfaction of the royal court and comes to Xingshi to ask for guilt, we can only rely on the natural danger of Tianguan and establish ourselves as kings in Tianyuan County!"

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Killing Yu He is that Yu He really has something to kill, but if he establishes himself as the king, isn't that tantamount to rebellion? Everyone was stunned, and for a while they couldn't react, they looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Qiu Zhen looked around at everyone and said quietly: "Yu He is the dignified county head, do you really think that if you kill Yu He, you will kill him, and no one will come to investigate this matter in the future? ”

After a pause, his expression softened, smiled leisurely, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, the sky is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, one man can block the pass, as long as you hoard 100,000 defenders in Tianguan, even if there are millions of troops to attack, it will be difficult to capture!"

Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen strangely, only listening to his mouth and boastful talk, obviously premeditated, he hinted that he could kill Yu He to force himself against him!

Tang Yin didn't care whether this Qiu Zhen was against him or not, but he didn't like Qiu Zhen making his own opinions, so why didn't he discuss such a big matter with him in advance? Now that his head had risen, he could only continue to follow his proposition, and there was no other choice.

Glancing at everyone, Tang Yin sighed secretly and said: "I did the thing, it has nothing to do with you, if you are afraid of the royal court's blame, you can resign from the military now and quit immediately, I will never complain, let alone stop it, what do you mean?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Shangguan Yuanrang first laughed twice, and said in a loud voice: "Interesting! Lord Tang, I'll follow you!" He is a typical kind of person who is not afraid of big things, and the more crazy things he is, the more willing he is to do them.

Shangguan Yuanrang expressed his position, and the two brothers Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao were naturally not to be left behind, and both said: "I am also willing to follow the adult, whether it is against it or not, I will stay by the adult's side!"

Then, Lotte, Ai Jia, Gu Yue, Li Wei, Chen Fang, Liu Zhongsheng, Cheng Jin and others all bowed their hands and said: "My lord has the grace of knowing us, and we are willing to die with us!"

They are all generals who were raised by Tang Yin, Cheng Jin, as a secret spiritual cultivator, can be reused by Tang Yin, and his gratitude naturally does not need to be expressed much, and Lotte, Gu Yue and others have followed Tang Yin for a long time, from the prosperous and peaceful Yancheng to the war-torn Pingyuan County, they have no complaints, and they have already followed him with all their hearts.

As soon as their words fell, Xiao Muqing followed closely and immediately said: "My lord's divine martial arts, my subordinates are extremely admired, and my loyalty to my lordship can be seen." Xiao Muqing will not waste any opportunity to make a sycophant, even if he makes a statement, he will praise Tang Yin first.

He has a shrewd mind, he will not be a cloud, he knows the importance of choosing a position, the reason why he decided to follow Tang Yin is also deliberate, first of all, Tang Yin can recognize his ability, and give him a lot of trust, reuse, secondly, Tang Yin's own ability is also extraordinary, and there are many capable people under his command, there is Shangguan Yuanji in internal affairs, Qiu Zhen in making suggestions, and now there is one more general Shangguan Yuanrang, and his overall strength has been improved。

Everyone expressed their stance one after another, and among the generals, only Bai Yong and Ju Nuo, the two old men of the Plains Army, were left, and their decisions were the most important, once the two of them chose to leave, then the direct consequence would be chaos in the Plains Army.

Juno is upright and will not worry too much, seeing that everyone expressed their willingness to follow Tang Yin, he no longer hesitated, and said: "My subordinates are willing to stay by the side of the adult, and follow the adult to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I will not give up!"

Don't look at Qiu Zhen's expression from beginning to end, but his heart has already risen to his throat, hearing Juno's statement, his high heart suddenly fell half, and then looked at Bai Yong, pretending to be relaxed, and urged with a smile: "What does General Bai mean?"

Now, only Bai Yong has not spoken.

Bai Yong is a rare all-round talent in the plain army, not only has a high level of cultivation, but also has a sharp mind, and his current statement will determine his future fate, and he has to think carefully.

Hearing Qiu Zhen's question, the corners of Bai Yong's mouth moved, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Tang Yin said quietly: "General Bai doesn't have to be embarrassed, even if he withdraws, I won't blame you, now we have plundered a lot of barbarian treasures, and when you return to Pingyuan County, you can go to the treasury to pick some, and after selling them, you can ensure that you can eat and drink for the rest of your life!"

Tang Yin was very cruel to the enemy, but he was considerate and had nothing to say to the soldiers under his command, he was a person, he could say that the blood was cold, but the heart was hot.

Bai Yong has been following Tang Yin for a long time, he knows his personality very well, and as soon as Tang Yin's words fell, Bai Yong knelt down on one knee and said: "My subordinates are willing to follow the adults, live and die with the adults, and advance and retreat together!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin was overjoyed, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand to help Bai Yong up.

At this point, the generals under Tang Yin's command have all expressed their stance and swore to follow Tang Yin to the death.

This statement may seem insignificant, but it is in fact crucial and far-reaching.

Although they used to be generals under Tang Yin, the object of their allegiance was the royal court of the Wind Country, the king of the Wind Country, and the relationship with Tang Yin was only a boss and a subordinate, and they were colleagues in the officialdom of the Wind Country, but now after expressing their attitudes, it means that they are loyal to Tang Yin, and the relationship has also changed from superiors and subordinates to lords and retainers.

This change really heralded the formation of Tang Yin's power, and also provided a human foundation for the rapid rise in the future.

Accepting Qiu Zhen's opinion, Tang Yin transferred Shangguan Yuanji to Shunzhou, and moved his family south, moving all the people from the county guard to Shunzhou and living directly in the county capital. In addition, he ordered Shangguan Yuanji to choose a suitable candidate, preparing to replace the county guards of Sanshui and Chifeng counties, and then find a new county guard for Pingyuan County.

Internal affairs are in full swing, on the other hand, Tang Yin did not relax on military affairs, the first thing he did was to force the three captured generals to hand over their military power, only by controlling the army, can it be regarded as controlling the entire Tianyuan County.

There are 10,000 soldiers in Tianyuan County, Sanshui County and Chifeng County only have two corps, each with 20,000 troops, and the total is only 50,000 soldiers, and there were 80,000 soldiers in Pingyuan County at the beginning, so it is not difficult to see that Tang Yin attaches great importance to the military.
