A stable environment, a huge population, and thriving commerce are all the basis for increasing the level of prosperity, and now Tianyuan County has these three things. With the increase in foreign merchants, the local people gradually came to their senses, abandoned their prejudices, and became more and more in contact with the city-state of Besa.

Trade is reciprocal, Tianyuan County sells the specialties of the Wind Country to Besa, returns the specialties of Besa, and then resells them to other counties and counties after returning, earning a huge price difference, and the same is true of the city-state of Besa, selling the specialties of the Wind Country to the people of the interior or reselling them to other neighboring countries, and making more profits.

Pingyuan County, which was once devastated by the war and known as the worst county in the Windy Country, is now the most prosperous, not only Hengcheng and the border towns are overcrowded, but even the original ordinary towns are rapidly thriving, and the streets are full of Besa people who come to the Windy Country to do business and travel here.

The prosperity of commerce and trade brought huge revenues to the county's finances, but Shangguan Yuanji did not dare to forget his roots, that is, agriculture, agriculture is the foundation of everything, without agriculture, everything is a floating cloud. Without food, it means that without an army, there will be no ability to protect oneself, and if we cannot protect ourselves, the peace and prosperity in front of us will only be a flash in the pan. Due to the profitability of doing business, many farmers in the county abandoned their land to do business, and Shangguan Yuanji allocated a large amount of gold and silver from the county treasury to reward agriculture and maintain the continuity of agriculture in the county.

At this time, Shangguan Yuanji's talent for internal affairs was thoroughly brought into play, he foresaw accurately, knew how to judge the situation, and adjusted policies in a timely manner, so that the development of Tianyuan County would be stable, and there would be no imbalance between all walks of life. If you want money, you have money, and you need food, which provided the most powerful support for Tang Yin's large-scale army expansion.

Even Tang Yin, who was in the future, admitted that seventy percent of his achievements were due to Shangguan Yuanji, and without him, he would not have been able to raise such a large and powerful army.

The army of the Ning State fought with the Feng army in Yancheng for three months, and it was only then that Tang Yin was ready to actually send reinforcements.

At this time, Tianyuan County was fully established and had a total of 230,000 people, of which the Plains Army, which had the strongest combat power, accounted for 100,000 and the Sanshui Army. The Chifeng army accounted for 50,000 each, and the direct army had 30,000, and now Tang Yin's ambition was much greater than when he first became the county guard, and he planned to wave the army south to assist Wang Ting to defeat the Ning army in one go and obtain a higher status.

In the past few days, the army has gradually moved south, and batch after batch of Tianyuan troops have been continuously driven out of various counties and assembled in Tianguan, and Tang Yin and the generals under his command led by Qiu Zhen have also left Shunzhou and gone to Tianguan.

Tianguan is not small, but at this time, the army of more than 200,000 people still seems narrow, there are barracks and tents everywhere inside and outside the pass, and wind troops wearing black leather armor can be seen everywhere.

Tang Yin planned to stay in Tianguan for a long time, and wanted to leave 30,000 soldiers to guard his home, and he commanded 200,000 troops to go directly to Yancheng.

On this day, when he was discussing the march route with Qiu Zhen and others in the camp, a soldier outside recently reported that Shunzhou had received a flying pigeon from Yancheng and sent it to Tang Yin for a look.

Tang Yin was very strange, who in Yancheng would pass on the book to his flying pigeon? Could it be Miss Wumei? Counting, he and Wumei have not seen each other for a long time, and this time when she goes to Yancheng, she will definitely be able to see her, when she sees that she is already a county guard and commands 200,000 troops, I don't know what kind of expression he will have.

Thinking of this, Tang Yin couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the letter!"

"Yes, my lord!" The Shunzhou official who delivered the letter hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully handed the letter to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin took it, and was disappointed just by looking at the envelope, which was not a charming handwriting.

Because it is a flying pigeon, the envelope and the letter paper are connected together, rolled together, and there is a wax seal on the outside, but the words 'Tang Daren personally opened' are written on the outside of the letter.

He took the fire twist from Shangguan Yuanwu, lit it, melted off the wax seal, and unfolded the letterhead. Look down.

The generals didn't pay much attention to the content of the letter, nine times out of ten the letter from Yancheng was urging reinforcements, and they were still discussing which route was fast or slow, and which route was not conducive to the march, but Qiu Zhen was the first to notice that Tang Yin's face had changed, and he was trembling slightly when he got the letter.

Tang Yin's revelation of such a change is too rare, what is the matter now? Could it be that something big has happened Qiu Zhen frowned secretly, stopped discussing with the generals, and raised his eyes to look at Tang Yin.

Everyone also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and they straightened up one after another, staring at Tang Yin with big eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Tang Yin finally finished reading the short letter, and then looked around at everyone, didn't say anything, lowered his head again, and was silent.

Seeing this, everyone was even more anxious, and Qiu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what is the content of the letter?"

Tang Yin didn't answer, holding the letter paper between his fingers and handing it to Qiu Zhen.

The latter hurriedly took it, and after he saw it from beginning to end, the person was also stunned, stunned in place, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What kind of letter is this, and why is it that whoever reads it should be in a daze? The generals gathered around Qiu Zhen and asked in a gossiping voice, "Lord Qiu, what happened?"

Qiu Zhen came back to his senses, grinned, and handed the letter to everyone.

Everyone looked down carefully, this letter was written by Deng Mingyang, one of the commanders of the thousand commanders under Tang Yin when he was the commander of the corps, this is nothing, but the content of the letter is too shocking.

The letter clearly wrote that Zhong Tian, the general of the Feng Kingdom, colluded with the palace guards, ambushed heavy troops on top of Wang Ling, openly rebelled, killed the Feng King Zhanhua and the Prince Zhanzhen, and killed the Zhan clan in the whole city, and restrained the royal court magnates headed by Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, established himself as the king, changed the name of the country to Peng, and sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Ning army, and ceded the two hundred miles west of Tongmen to the Ning State.

"Huh?" After reading this letter, the generals were also dumbfounded, and they were all shocked.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Yong came back to his senses and said tremblingly, "I...... I'm dying in a gale?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awakened and immediately caused an uproar in the big tent.

The king was killed, Zhong Tian set himself up as the king, and changed the name of the country to Peng, this news is too shocking, and it is too incredible, so that in the future, there will be no Wind Country, but Peng Country with Zhong Tian as the king?

Qiu Zhen shook his head and waved his hand at everyone, saying, "Quiet, don't mess up with everyone!" As the speaker said, he grabbed the letter and asked Tang Yin, "Do you think this letter is true or false?"

Tang Yin raised his head and asked rhetorically, "How can it be fake?" After a pause, he said, "This letter was written by Deng Mingyang, he has no reason to lie to me, and he has the courage to write such a big thing. ”

"That's right! Nine times out of ten, this news is true. After speaking, Qiu Zhen's eyes rolled quickly, and then his eyes lit up, and his face could not hide the excitement, and he said to Tang Yin urgently, "Your chance's opportunity has finally come!"

Tang Yin was stunned, and the other generals were also stunned, now that even the country is dead, I don't understand what Qiu Zhen is still excited about.

"What do you mean by that?"

Qiu Zhen leaned forward, subconsciously clenched his fists, and said word by word: "Crusade against rebellion and replace it." ”

When Tang Yin heard this, his body shook, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qiu Zhen suspiciously, and everyone also looked at Qiu Zhen in unison.

"Zhong Tian killed the king, the great rebellion, everyone has to be punished, and it will also cause the world's public indignation, adults can take this opportunity, take Tianyuan County as the foundation, hold high the banner of rebellion, openly and honestly recruit the world's heroes, look for opportunities to move, and when the time is ripe, attack Yancheng in one fell swoop, kill the traitor Zhong Tian, at that time, the adults will restore the name of the wind country, and sit on the throne of the king logically. Qiu Zhen said in a beautiful voice.

"This ......" Tang Yin is not a simple-minded person, the throne of the king is tempting, but can things be as simple as Qiu Zhen said?

He believed that Zhong Tian was by no means a sudden attack, but had premeditated, and even this invasion of Ningguo's army was made with him.

Now, a lot of things can be explained.

At the beginning, the Wind Kingdom sent troops to the Ning Kingdom, and there were spies within the royal court who reported to the Ning Kingdom, and that spy was likely to be Zhong Tian, his purpose was to weaken the strength of the Feng Kingdom magnates, and the final result did lead to the collapse of the most powerful Ziyang family; Princess Yin Rou sent the Feng Kingdom to be assassinated by assassins, at that time, Zhong Tian tried to let the two countries continue to fight, so as to further consume the forces of the Feng King's Court and the magnates; Zhong Tianmen invaded Hengcheng Hua Fan Min, that was to control Fan Ju, as long as he obtained the financial support of the Fan family, the country could quickly stabilize after he usurped the throne; Zhong Tian proposed to replace the guards of the same gate, resulting in the loss of Tongmen overnight, and the purpose was more obvious, is to collude with Ning Guo and deliberately lead Ning Jun into the country, so as to create an opportunity for his usurpation.

Tang Yin felt that before he arrived in this world, Zhong Tian already had the intention of rebellion, this old fox had been scheming for many years, hiding for so long, just waiting for the opportunity, and now he finally waited for the opportunity, that is, it can be extinguished.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Yin knocked on his head with a faint pain, and said slowly: "Things are not clear yet, and it is too early to assert, let's wait and see what happens." ”

Qiu Zhen still wanted to speak, but Tang Yin had already waved off the words below it impatiently.

Originally, Tang Yin was also ready to wave his troops south to assist Wang Ting and the Ning army in a decisive battle, but Deng Mingyang's report on the flying pigeon completely disrupted his plan and deployment, and more than 200,000 troops were stationed in Tianguan, waiting for the exact news of Yancheng to come back.

A few days later, the exact news from Yancheng came back, everything was as Deng Mingyang said in the letter, Zhong Tian rebelled, proclaimed himself King Peng, and changed the name of the country to Peng, in addition, Zhong Tian sent a decree to the counties as the king of Peng, asking whether the county guards of each county were loyal to him, and Tang Yin, as the county guard of Tianyuan County, naturally also received Zhong Tian's will.

The arrival of another person surprised Tang Yin.
