Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi had initially commanded the four hundred thousand elites of the Ning Army to invade the Feng Country, and helped Zhong Tian kill kings and rebel. In the Feng Country, these two brothers were enemies of the Feng Clan.
Everyone looked at Tang Yin, and at the same time, broke out in a cold sweat for him.
With regards to Zuo Shuang's request, Tang Yin was first stunned, then he narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Zuo Shuang. After a long while, when people thought that he was going to explode with anger, Tang Yin suddenly laughed, nodded and said: "In terms of Feng Country, the Battle Brothers are enemies, but in terms of people, they are heroic enemies who died in a foreign land. You, as a man of peace, have yet to forget your roots, it's a good thing.
These words caused great surprise to everyone, and also moved Zuo Shuang. He knelt on one knee and cupped his hands in front of his chest. With a trembling voice, he said, "Thank you, my lord."
Tang Yin nodded and helped him up, not saying anything more.
He was smiling, his words were pleasant to hear, but in his heart, he did not feel anything, but now was the time to hire people, the Ning Country of 150 thousand people was still very important, in Tang Yin's heart, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to play tricks.
When the entire army stopped to rest, Fan Shan came to see Tang Yin.
Right now, Tang Yin did not even let him build a simple Central Army Tent, he sat on a rock with Qiu Zhen and a few bodyguards beside him. Fan Shan walked over quickly with a rolled map in his hands. However, before he had even taken ten steps, he was stopped by the guards.
"Brothers, I want to see the King!"
"What is it?" The guards around Tang Yin were all extremely proud, but when they saw that the person before them was just a small counselor, they did not even look at him.
"I have something important to report to the King!"
"If you have something to say, just say it! We will report it to the King! "
"This... "I have to personally report to the King ?"
"You talk too much!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the guards had already begun berating him loudly. Their shouts caught Tang Yin's attention. Tang Yin, who was talking to Qiu Zhen, turned his head and looked in Fan Shan's direction, asking curiously: "What's going on?"
A guard rushed forward and bowed. "Your Majesty, a counselor wishes to see you."
"Oh?" Tang Yin looked past the guards and looked at Fan Shan. He had some impression of Fan Shan, but he did not know his name. He waved his hand, signaling the guards to get out of the way. "Let him come!"
"Yes!" "Great King!"
The guards all stepped back to the side to let Fan Shan pass.
Fan Shan rushed forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed as he said: "I am Fan Shan, greetings to the King!"
Tang Yin responded. After Fan Shan got up, he asked: What's the matter?
Fan Shan looked around, and asked softly: "Great King, can we talk further?"
His mysterious appearance made Tang Yin laugh, and said: "Speak, there are no outsiders here."
"Ugh ?" Fan Shan was very clear that his status was low, and he did not know if his words would be accepted by the King. He stuttered for a while, and then came up with the most inappropriate idea to get into a relationship with Tang Yin.
He laughed dryly and said, "Even though Your Majesty doesn't know of this lowly one, this lowly one has admired Your Majesty for a long time. Besides, this lowly one is also the cousin of Lady Wan An!"
Lady Wan An was Fan Min's nickname. In terms of seniority, it was true that he was Fan Min's cousin, but she was a bit too far away.
The people Tang Yin detested the most were those who climbed up authority to become rich. After hearing what Fan Shan said, the good impression that he had of immediately dropped to the bottom of the bottom. Qiu Zhen who was at the side secretly laughed in his heart. This was another person who didn't understand the King's character, it seemed that this person's path of joining the army was also about to come to an end.
"Chi!"
Tang Yin sneered, stood up, walked to Fan Shan's side, and carefully greeted him. Fan Min was handsome and refined, if one looked carefully, they would be able to find a place where they were familiar with each other. He casually asked: "Fan Shan, how long have you been in the army?"
Unable to understand why the King would ask such a question, he answered in a low voice, "Quick..." Almost a month. "
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you only join the army when I arrived at Ba Pass?"0
"Yes, my lord." Fan Shan nodded.
"He joined the army and became a counselor?"
"Yes."
"You haven't done anything and you have no experience. What qualifications do you have to be an attach? in the army?" With that said, Tang Yin waved to the guard at his side, and brought him over with a spear. He thrust it into Fan Shan's bosom and said: "Begin with the new recruits, go and fight for me!"
Fan Shan hugged the pike in his arms dumbly, he was completely dumbstruck. Tang Yin no longer paid any attention to him, and no longer gave him another glance. He sat back on the boulder and continued to chat with Qiu Zhen.
Only when the guards on both sides came up to pull Fan Shan away, did he finally regain his senses. At this time, Fan Shan finally understood why Tang Yin was so happy, it was definitely his words that annoyed the King, what should he do?
He rolled his eyes and suddenly pushed aside the guards on his left and right. Then, he raised the spear in his hands and slammed it onto the ground.
Clang clang clang * The spear tip struck the stone on the ground, producing a clear sound. All of the guards' expressions changed, and they all picked up their weapons to attack Fan Shan. Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen were also startled, they frowned and stared at Fan Shan, not understanding why he suddenly became so mad.
Fan Shan shouted at Tang Yin: "I joined the army to help the King defeat the enemy Chiliarch. I did not come with a spear to kill one or two enemy soldiers!"
Ouch! What big words! Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen looked at each other and laughed. If Fan Shan had displayed such courage and determination right after they arrived, Tang Yin would have long given him a whole new level of respect. He laughed and asked: "Tell me, how can you help this king defeat the ten thousand horses of Chiliarch? "You're right, I will add you to the list. If you cause trouble without reason, even with the God King as your backer, your brain will still score points."
Fan Shan fearlessly met Tang Yin's gaze and asked: "Great King, General Zuo Shuang wants to pay his respects to Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, do you want him to go alone?"
"That's right?" Is something wrong? "
"The King can sympathize with the Ning people and understand the feelings of the Ning people. This is the King's wisdom. Since the King is willing to send General Zuo Shuang, why not send the Xijing Army as well? "
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and stared at Fan Shan, and asked: "What do you mean by that?"
Fan Shan took two steps forward, and said seriously: "Gaochuan County are all over the mountain forest, and are extremely easy to conceal, why don't the King leave her Xijing Army behind, and roam around the rear of the enemy forces? When our army enters the three eastern counties, the enemy forces will definitely follow them and come. At that time, the enemy troops will have to go through Gaochuan County, and with it in the county, we can cut off the enemy's supply lines. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers will lose their supplies, and they won't be able to withstand a single blow! "
Oh? This was a strategy that Tang Yin did not expect. His gaze turned from bright to deep as he started to ponder.
Leaving the Xijing Army behind to harass the enemies was indeed an ingenious plan. If the Xijing Army could truly fight, then there wouldn't be a problem, but what if something happened? If Zuo Shuang left his control, what if he led the 150,000 soldiers of the Ning army to suddenly revolt?
Seemingly being able to see through Tang Yin's concerns, Fan Shan took two steps forward and said: "The King has always used people without a doubt, and suspects without using others. Since the King has heavily valued General Zuo Shuang, then she should be able to trust the Xijing Army that he commands."
These words had reached Tang Yin's heart. He did not immediately reply. Seeing that Fan Shan was still holding onto a roll of cloth, he raised his head and asked: "What did you take?"
"It's a map!" While talking, Fan Shan walked in front of Tang Yin and laid out the map on the ground. It was a map of the entire Feng Country.
Who cares if Tang Yin asked any questions, he started to talk nonstop. He pointed to the intersection of Gaochuan County with Shang Qing and Gao Yang, and said: "Great King, this is Jinyang City, located between three counties, it can attack and defend, belonging to a dangerous place with a throat, Great King can set up defenses in the Jinyang, and fight with the enemy, Xijing Army is raiding in the Gaochuan County, specializing in attacking enemy logistics, the two sides will respond, disturbing the enemy's heart, and cause chaos for the enemy."
So far, Fan Shan was the first person to head towards Tang Yin to see his complete battle strategy. Tang Yin listened to his analysis expressionlessly, and thought in his heart whether his plan was feasible or not.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Yin asked Qiu Zhen: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think?"
Qiu Zhen did not say anything, nor did he say anything bad, and only raised his concerns. He said: "I have been to the Jinyang City, it is a flat plain, there is no danger to defend, the city is not big, it belongs to the small bullet town, the city walls are also not high, outside the city there is not even a moat, the enemy army attacking, with my army's strength and Jinyang, I am afraid it is hard to defend against them!"
Tang Yin nodded, he turned and looked at Fan Shan, listening to his explanation.
"Prime Minister Qiu is right, the Jinyang is indeed a small city, it is not easy to defend." Fan Shan pointed to the map and said: "But Jinyang can be located between three large cities. The north is the Songqiu, the east is the Ningding, and the west is the Taifeng. If our army is unable to hold on, we can abandon the city and retreat towards the three cities, Songqiu, and Taifeng, giving the Jinyang to the enemy. At that time, regardless of whether it is Songqiu, Ningding or any city, the other two cities can send their troops to counterattack Jinyang, or trap the enemy within them, or make the enemy run for their lives. Only by fighting like this can we bring out the advantages of our land! "
Hearing that, Tang Yin's spirit was immediately lifted, he leaned over and carefully looked at the map. Just as Fan Shan had said, there were cities in the east, west and north sides of the Jinyang, forming a half circle surrounding it. Tang Yin did not know how these four cities were built at the time, but their unique layout was indeed suitable for use in defense.
There were many caravans and tourists that had to pass by the border of three counties, and thus, the town of Jinyang was extremely lively. The population continued to increase and the town itself was constantly expanded, and later, the County Head of the county that they belonged to enjoyed great success in applying to the imperial government for the upgrade of Jinyang to the city of Jinyang. At that time, the imperial government did not make any inquiries, and just gave its approval. Thus, Jinyang Town became Jinyang City, but the scale of the city compared to other cities was indeed a little small.
Qiu Zhen said that Jinyang is a small city with short walls and no moat, that was the truth.
