Chapter 163
Tang Yin was silent for a long time, Fang raised his head, smiled at Fan Ju, and said: "Fan Lao is hard, I will first let people prepare a place to live, you rest in Tianguan for one night, and tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send you to Shunzhou." ”
"Thank you, Lord Tang!" Fan Ju stood up and bowed.
Fan Lao was polite. Tang Yin smiled: "Just call me by my name in the future." ”
"Hehe, okay, good, the old man will leave first!"
After Tang Yin sent Fan Ju away, he returned to the tent, and saw that none of his generals left, staring at him with wide eyes, he snorted and laughed, and asked, "What do you all see me doing?"
Qiu Zhen didn't have time to play dumb riddles, so he said bluntly: "What do you mean, adult?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Yin pretended to be confused.
"Do you want to declare war on Zhong Tian?" Qiu Zhen stepped closely.
Tang Yin knocked on his forehead and said, "Let me think about this matter again." ”
"Don't think about it, my lord, now Zhong Tian is still unstable, it is the right time, when Zhong Tian's power is consolidated in the future, and then he wants to move and collapse, it will be even more difficult, does the adult really plan to be a minister of the fallen country and be willing to live under the traitor Zhong Tian?" Qiu Zhen's tone began to become urgent.
Tang Yin's face changed slightly, and the light in his eyes suddenly appeared, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, he smiled, looked around at everyone, and said, "I'm tired, let's all go back and rest first!"
This time, everyone's opinions were surprisingly unanimous, and they all advocated a move to crusade against Zhong Tian and restore the Wind Country.
Not to mention them, even the soldiers and people below are ruthless to Zhong Tian to murder the king and establish himself as the king, and the most hateful thing is that Zhong Tian actually changed the name of the country, you must know that the ancestors of the wind people have been wind people for generations, and they have been thinking of themselves as wind people for thousands of years.
But now Tang Yin is a group guard, and if he doesn't give an order, no one has anything to do but sit and wait for his decision.
Tang Yin was hesitating and undecided, but the secret agents sent out by Tianyan and the Earth Network had already sent back a steady stream of information about Yancheng.
In order to win over Ning Guo and consolidate his throne, Zhong Tian not only ceded the two hundred miles west of Tongmen to Ning Guo, but also declared the whole country a vassal to Ning Guo and paid tribute every year, which means that Feng Guo will be a vassal state of Ning State in the future, and he must obey the command of Ning Guo.
In addition, Zhong Tian in order to further win over Liang. Wu and Ziyang's three families were returned, and with their support, they also promised to continue to give Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, the three family chiefs, Houlu, and give them a title, and also marry the dance family, and plan to marry Wu Yu's eldest daughter Wu Mei and become the princess.
Hearing the previous news, Tang Yin didn't do anything, hearing the latter news, Tang Yin was immediately furious, she only regarded Wumei as her confidante before, and didn't notice that she had other feelings, but now she heard that Zhong Tian was going to set up Wumei as a princess, and immediately felt that the treasure she regarded as a treasure was forcibly snatched and snatched away.
The news of Yancheng is still coming back one after another, and through secret agents, Tang Yin learned that the people of the Liang family, the dancer, and the Ziyang family have all been placed under house arrest by Zhong Tian, and Zhong Tian's marriage to Wumei is a foregone conclusion, and the wedding date is scheduled for the end of next month.
Diametrically opposed to Tang Yin is Qiu Zhen.
Hearing that Zhong Tian was going to marry Wumei, Qiu Zhen was overjoyed, and sighed in his heart, God really helped me. At this time, he no longer persuaded Tang Yin, but kept whispering in his ear, what
The hatred of killing the army can be endured, but the hatred of taking the wife can't be endured, what kind of man is he who can't even protect his own woman, and so on.
If Tang Yin didn't regard Qiu Zhen as a friend and brother, I'm afraid he would have been slashed with a knife.
During this time, heroes from all over the Wind Country were also pouring into Tianyuan County in large numbers.
In order to reinforce Yancheng, all the counties of the Wind Country have emptied their forces, and now the only one with heavy troops is Tianyuan County, it can be said that the only force that can compete with Zhong Tian in the Wind Country at present belongs to Tang Yin's line, and people with lofty ideals in the Wind Country have pinned their hopes on him, so they naturally gather here for him.
There are also outstanding talents among the Fengren who fled to Tianyuan County, and three of them are most valued by Tang Yin.
One of them is named Peng Haochu, he was the deputy commander of the county soldiers of Hexi County in the Wind Country, and Hexi County was ceded to Ningguo by Zhong Tian with a stroke of the pen. At war with Ning, the Feng country originally occupied the right time and place, the central army plus the local army totaled five or six hundred thousand, and it was not a problem to defeat the 400,000 Ning army that came from afar, but after the battle, the Feng army lost again and again, and the soldiers were defeated, especially the central army, which repeatedly suffered heavy losses from the Ning army. and accurately judged that it was Zhong Tian among the four powerful people, but it was a pity that he was insignificant, and no one listened to him, and in turn warned him not to slander the important ministers of the royal court.
Later, Peng Haochu felt that the battle could not be fought, so he took the initiative to tell the commander of the Hexi County Army to recuperate, the latter did not let him go home, only let him stay in Yancheng, when Zhong Tian rebelled, Peng Haochu took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city for the first time, because his home has become a peaceful land, he did not dare to go home again, and under the judgment of the situation, he went into exile in Tianyuan County to seek refuge in Tang Yin.
Tang Yin attached great importance to Peng Haochu, so he took it for his own use and appointed him as the deputy commander of the army directly under the Tianyuan Army, and cooperated with Gu Yue to jointly manage the three corps.
Gu Yue is loyal to himself, but lacks strategy, and Peng Haochu is a person with strong strategy, but he joined his command later, and loyalty is difficult to guarantee, so let him be Gu Yue's deputy, which can just complement each other.
The other two are women, one is named Zhang Zhe and the other is called Xuan Wang.
Xuan Wang will not give advice, nor will he lead troops to fight, the reason why Tang Yin values him is because he brought Tang Yin a thing, a crossbow machine.
At that time, crossbow machines were not popular, and the only vassal states that used crossbow machines were Sichuan countries. The princes have a great controversy about the crossbow machine, although it is easy to use, and does not consume physical strength, but the disadvantage is also fatal, that is, the power is too small, the crossbow machine can not shoot a parabola like a bow and arrow, the range is naturally greatly shortened, the crossbow machine is a weapon that is a little and the shortcomings are very prominent, and it is precisely because of this that it has not been widely used.
The crossbow machine brought by Xuan Wang was improved by himself, with three arrows on it, which can be fired at the same time with three arrows, or three arrows at a single shot, and it is also convenient and quick to replenish the arrows. He once recommended the crossbow machine he made to the court of the Wind King, but the Wind Country is not a country that attaches great importance to arrow shooting, not to mention the crossbow machine, and no one pays too much attention to him, so the matter is over, and now Xuanwang came to Tang Yin again, recommending his crossbow machine to Tang Yin, this time he was finally recognized, Tang Yin is not a person of this era, and he is naturally no stranger to crossbow machines, and he knows the power of this weapon in close combat, so he immediately rewarded Xuanwang with a lot of gold and silver, and gave him an official position, and asked him to supervise the manufacture of more crossbow machines, which should be applied to the eye of the sky first, Ground Net, and Dark Arrow.
As for Zhang Zhe, he is the one Tang Yin values the most among the three.
He proposed to Tang Yin that he should raise troops to defeat Zhong Tian, but he didn't just propose, and gave Tang Yin three reasons for victory.
First, Zhong Tian rebelled and killed the king, and Tang Yin led the army to fight, which was justifiable, and he was first of all a righteous army in name.
Second, Zhong Tian betrayed the country to seek glory and tampered with the country's name, and the people hated it deeply, and Tang Yin's crusade was the desire of the people, and he had an advantage in the hearts of the people.
Third, and the most important one, although Zhong Tian's troops are numerous, they are all rabble,
The 200,000 local army is scattered, and the 300,000 central army is also loyal, and the direct army of Wang Ting was bought by him with a lot of money, so naturally there is no loyalty, and the corps of the Liang family, the Wu family, and the Ziyang family have to be controlled by him only because the patriarch of the three families was under house arrest by Zhongtian. The knights who were truly loyal to Zhong Tian were only the six corps directly under him. As for the 400,000 troops of the Ning country, it is not to worry, they went on an expedition to the terroir, the supply line is too long, once its supply is cut off, the 400,000 Ning army will be in chaos without a fight, not to mention that they have been in the wind country for several months, and they have fought again and again, the soldiers are tired, homesick, and the combat power is far less strong than when they first came.
Zhang Zhe put forward these three reasons for Tang Yin's victory to make Tang Yin feel a lot more at ease, and Qiu Zhen also kept proposing to him to raise troops to attack Zhongtian, but Qiu Zhen did not tell him what the chances of winning were and what to do, so Tang Yin had no bottom in his heart and hesitated, and after Zhang Zhe's analysis, Tang Yin's confidence immediately became sufficient, and he also realized that he had the possibility of competing with Zhongtian.
At this time, Tang Yin had not clearly stated that he would send troops to fight, but he just accepted all the talents and heroes who defected to him, and first included them under his command.
With the addition of these talents and heroes, the strength of the Tianyuan Army has been greatly enhanced, and the generals who can fight well and the strategists who are far-sighted have gradually increased, but their primary purpose of taking refuge in Tang Yin is to hope that Tang Yin can raise troops to restore the country, but he has not expressed his position for a long time, and people's emotions have begun to fluctuate a little.
On this day, the day to force Tang Yin to express his position has finally arrived.
Zhong Tian's will was sent to Tianguan.
The person who sent the will was named Zhao Er, he was originally Zhong Tian's doorman, as the saying goes, people ascend to heaven, chickens and dogs get the way, Zhongtian established himself as the king, and the following doormen also obtained official positions.
Zhao Er entered the Tianguan proudly under the protection of the accompanying guards, and after coming in, he raised his eyes and looked around at the Tianyuan Army surrounded by crowds, his face was fearless, and Gao Sheng asked: "Who is Tang Yin?
Under the gaze of many soldiers of the Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin slowly walked out of the big tent with square steps.
When people saw him come out, they immediately held their breath.
Everyone knew what could be in Zhong Tian's will, as long as Tang Yin accepted this will, it would be tantamount to bowing down to Zhong Tian, and the last hope of recovering the Wind Country would also be shattered.
This is, the square in front of the entire big tent is crowded, black and oppressive, but no one speaks, time seems to have stopped, quiet and terrible, from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, all of them raise their hearts to their throats, just waiting for Tang Yin's choice.
