Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Qiu Zhen had followed Tang Yin for the longest time, and naturally understood his thoughts the most, he smiled, shook his head and said: "No! It is precisely because the adults have won the battle and consolidated the frontier that the royal court will not transfer the adults away, on the other hand, if the adults do nothing in Pingyuan County, or even suffer defeats, then the royal court may transfer the adults back to the capital." ”

"Oh!" Tang Yin responded, smiled leisurely, and said, "Okay, just follow your wishes, help me draft a piece of music and hand it over to the royal court!"

"Yes, my lord!" How to write the cantata, how to write the content of the recital is exaggerated and convincing, Qiu Zhen is more than Tang Yin.

Next, Tang Yin arranged the affairs of the border city in detail, and transferred the first corps back to the border city for defense, and the fourth and fifth corps were pulled back to Hengcheng for rectification.

In this battle, the Fourth and Fifth Corps suffered 3,000 casualties and about 5,000 wounded, and more than half of the personnel were lost.

The next day, after the first corps arrived in the border city, Tang Yin led the crowd back to Hengcheng.

Before leaving, Qiu Zhen saw that Tang Yin was still wearing a brocade robe, shook his head, and even called it inappropriate.

Tang Yin was puzzled, looked down at what he was wearing, didn't feel anything wrong, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Qiu Zhen said with a smile: "Of course, it will not be inappropriate for adults to wear golden gong silk in normal times, but not now, in the eyes of outsiders, the adult's outfit does not look like he is going to lead the troops to fight at all, but more like he is going to the mountains and rivers, and the people will naturally take the credit for the victory in the body of the soldiers of the wind army, not in the head of the adult." ”

Tang Yin was happy, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It doesn't matter who it is, I shouldn't steal the limelight with the soldiers below!"

Qiu Zhen shook his head again and again, and said: "My lord, you are wrong, what does Pingyuan County need most now? It is the confidence of the people! But how to build confidence, this requires a person who can stand up and act as a hero, bring hope to the people, let the people have a sense of security, and even let the people worship, of course the adult is this person, and this person can only be an adult, only in this way can the people have cohesion and centripetal force, and lay the foundation for the reconstruction of Pingyuan County, in this way, the status of adults can also be further consolidated!"

I see! Tang Yin was really not as far-reaching as Qiu Zhen thought, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Qiu Zhen said made a lot of sense. He nodded, and replied, "That makes sense." Should I wear armor?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay!

Tang Yin is sometimes stubborn, and sometimes he is also very persuasive. Following Qiu Zhen's opinion, he changed the black helmet and black armor of the generals of the Feng Army, straddled the sword, put on a red cloak on the back, rode a war horse, and led the crowd back to Hengcheng.

There is nothing to say on the road, and the day is noon, and we arrive at Hengcheng.

Before entering the city, Tang Yin noticed that the atmosphere in the city was not quite right, even if the most prosperous city in Pingyuan County was not lively on weekdays, it was full of people, but now, there was no sound in the city, and there was no sound.

Just when he was puzzled, Guan Yuanji, Bai Yong and the others who went out of the city to greet him walked forward quickly, all of them were smiling, and bowed their hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, I have returned triumphantly!"

"En!" Tang Yin replied absentmindedly, then looked at Hengcheng and asked, "...... in the city?"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yuanji had already preemptively said, "My lord, please in the city!" As he spoke, he flashed sideways to the side.

Tang Yin glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked at Bai Yong and the others, not knowing what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.

Without further questioning, he urged his horse into the city.

Just recently, he was taken aback by the scene in the city, only to see the main street of Hengcheng, the crowd of people standing full of people in the country of wind, since Tang Yin took office, he has never seen so many people in Hengcheng, it is estimated that there are 100,000 people, looking at it, a large area of black pressure.

Tang Yin was stunned by the scene in front of him, at this time, the people on the street also saw him, and suddenly, cheers rang out, applause thundered, and at the same time, countless bright red petals fell from the sky.

He rode on the horse, slowly raised his head, it turned out that the attics on both sides of the street were also full of people, men and women, old and young, people carried flower baskets, from time to time the petals in it were swayed out, tens of millions of petals fluttered in the air, like bright red snowflakes.

Tang Yin stretched out his palm, caught a petal, and then slowly contracted his five fingers and clenched his fists.

He was heartily touched by the people's welcome to him, and a sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously from being recognized.

The people of the Wind Country, with a straightforward and casual temperament, welcomed Tang Yin not by the official, but by the people spontaneously, then again, if the official can be organized, then Tang Yin should have seen this scene on the first day of his tenure.

The more he understood this, the more Tang Yin's heart throbbed. He urged the horse to walk slowly on the street, and everywhere he passed, the cheers continued, and the people chanted Tang Yin's name.

Tang Yin almost floated back to the county guard's mansion, until he sat in a chair and brought tea and snacks to the people, he still felt like he was in a dream.

When the people who followed Tang Yin saw his expression, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

In their opinion, this may be a very normal thing, but the shock to Tang Yin is too great, he is an orphan, suffering from hunger in the world, and now he has become a hero in the limelight, this ups and downs are too big, and it also makes Tang Yin a little difficult to adapt, and even has a sense of unreality.

"My lord, I have two pieces of news for you!"

Guan Yuanji's words woke Tang Yin up, and the latter came back to his senses, looked at him with straight eyes, and asked, "What news?"

"A letter from the Lord to General Yingbu has been delivered, and General Yingbu promises that he will help you as long as you need it, and he will also help you in the purchase of Moma. In addition, I have asked the merchants of Mozambique to bring a hundred military horses for the appraisal of the adults, and they are now on their way. ”

Tang Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, but he really didn't expect that Yingbu, who only had a one-sided relationship with him, would help him so much. He nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "I should thank General Yingbu again!"

Guan Yuanji didn't say anything, reached into his arms, took out a letter and handed it to Tang Yin, and said, "My lord, this is General Yingbu's reply. ”

"Oh?" Tang Yin took it, opened the envelope, and took out the stationery.

The content of the face is very simple, the handwriting is very sloppy, obviously Yingbu's cultural level is not high, and there are a lot of typos in just a few sentences, but the general meaning Tang Yin can still understand, Yingbu has the heart to have a deep friendship with him, hoping that the two can become confidants, brothers, and support each other.

After reading it, Tang Yin closed the letter, put it away carefully, and then looked at Guan Yuanji and asked, "Yuanji, the second news is ......"

Guan Yuanji said: "Her Royal Highness the princess sent an envoy to Ning Guo to mediate the truce between the two countries, Ning Guo has accepted mediation and stopped waging war against our country, and the Ning army outside Tongmen is gradually retreating, in addition, in order to show sincerity, Jun has replaced the main general of Tongmen and replaced it by Yao Zhili!"

This news is exactly what Tang Yin is concerned about, it turns out that the mediation of Princess Yin Rou to Ningguo has also been successful, which makes a stone in his heart land safely. Then he lifted his chin again, tilted his head, and pondered in silence.

If I remember correctly, the guard of Tongmen should be Liang Qi, the eldest son of the Liang family, Qiu Zhen once said that this person is a genius in using soldiers, and it is really surprising to replace Liang Qi with this Yao Zhili.

He asked, "Who is this Yao Zhili?"

"Adults may not know him, but if you mention his father-in-law, you must be no stranger. ”

"His father-in-law is ......"

"General, Zhong Tian!"

"Oh!" Of course, Tang Yin wouldn't not know who Zhong Tian was. The four major families of Ziyang, Liang, Wu, and Zhong are collectively known as the four powerful nobles of the Wind Country, and they are the four most powerful nobles in the Wind Country, and Zhong Tian is the patriarch of the Zhong family. In Tang Yin's impression, the Zhong family has always been very low-key, that is, they don't fight, they don't rob, they just sit and watch the other three families fight to the death.

In fact, in Tang Yin's opinion, the dog that bites people does not bark, and the Zhong family is the real terrifying of the four magnates, even more so than the arrogant Liang family.

Because Tongmen is too far away from Pingyuan County, one is in the westernmost part of the Windy Country, and the other is in the northeasternmost part of the Windy Country, people have no reaction after listening to Guan Yuanji's words.

But Qiu Zhen sighed faintly and said, "It's too risky for you to decide like this. If Liang Qi is in charge of Tongmen, it will be solid, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it will be difficult to step into Tongmen half a step, and Yao Zhili is not, this person has a beautiful skin, in fact, it is just an empty head of wine bags and rice bags, he guards Tongmen, if Ningguo suddenly breaks the contract and kills a horse gun, Tongmen is bound to be unprotected!"

After hearing this, Tang Yin frowned secretly, but most of the rest were unimpressed.

Juno waved his hand and said, "Will something happen to Tongmen, and what do we have to do with it?"

Qiu Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "How can there be eggs under the nest? If the Tongmen Gate is broken, then the next horse is Pingchuan, and the Ning army can go straight to the capital, and the capital is not guaranteed, won't my gale also perish? The gale is gone, is there still our Pingyuan County?"

"This ......" Juno was blushing by Qiu Zhen's words, although he is the commander of the Third Corps, he is also a rough man, a typical rectum, he can say whatever he wants, and the words he says will not go through the brain, but he also has a little benefit, that is, he knows the wrong thing and changes it.

He glanced at the others and saw that everyone was looking at him dissatisfied, blaming him for being too talkative, he scratched his hair embarrassedly, and even called Qiu Zhen a lesson.

After a pause, he asked again, "What about ...... Do you need an adult to advise you not to change the Tongmen guard?"

Qiu Zhen smiled, laughed angrily, and said: "Although the position of the adult is not low, but it is only a local official, how can he change the decision-making of the royal court, and the relationship within the royal court is complicated, and a careless will lead to death, not to mention that this is a battle between the four powerful people, it is better for adults to participate less!"

Juno pursed his lips and muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Therefore, adults should make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent accidents!" Qiu Zhen said pointedly, then shut up and said no more. There are some things that are not easy to say in front of everyone.
