Chapter Eighty-Nine "Of course the cavalry needs it, I just mean that the war horses of the Wind Country have no specialty, and it is better to spend the same amount of money to buy the war horses of other countries," Shangguan Yuanji explained.
"The war horses of other countries" Tang Yin rubbed his chin and muttered.
Shangguan Yuanji said: "The speed of Mozambican horses is far beyond the reach of other horse breeds, and one of the biggest advantages of cavalry is speed, so it is the most cost-effective to buy Mozambican war horses." ” Of course, Tang Yin also understands the power of the war horses of the Mozcan country, and the horse he is riding now is the war horse of the Mozambican country, but now the wind and Mo are still in a hostile state, where can I buy the war horse of the Mozambican country He said quietly: "Although what you said is good, we can't find the source of the horse, and we can't buy it with money."
Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said: "I do have a familiar Mozambican horse businessman, but the problem is that now the relationship between Mozambique is tense, and the border between the two countries is completely closed, even if the Mozambican horse merchant can pass the checkpoint on the Mozambican side, he can't pass the checkpoint on the side of my Feng country." ” When Tang Yin heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "The level on our side is a bully."
Shangguan Yuanji nodded and said, "That's right."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes and said, "Although I only have a one-sided relationship with the Baguan guard general Yingbu, we had a very good conversation that time, I think he may be able to help me with this."
"Oh" Shangguan Yuanji's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "If the Baguan guard is willing to help, then of course it will be better, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort."
Tang Yin waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Don't get too hopeful, I'm not very familiar with Yingbu, it's not certain whether he is willing to help or not, I'll write him a letter to test it first." ” Shangguan Yuanji nodded and said, "It's good that I will send my subordinates to send the letter of the Lord to Baguan, and at the same time, you can also contact the horse merchants on the Mozcan side, if everything goes well, the war horses of Mozambique can be transported over first."
"En" Tang Yin responded, then got up and went to the study, prepared paper and ink, and wrote a letter to Yingbu.
The main content of the letter is just some innocuous and affectionate polite words, but in the end, he mentioned that he likes Mozambican war horses and wants to buy a few, and I wonder if Yingbu can help from them.
After writing the letter, he handed it to Shangguan Yuanji and told him that it must not be lost.
Now after all, it is a tense period between the two countries, and he buys war horses from Mozambique, if people with ulterior motives know about it, they will definitely use it to make a big fuss, and if they don't make it, they will give him a big hat of collaborating with the enemy.
Of course, Shangguan Yuanji understood the truth, and he said with a straight face: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will arrange for reliable henchmen to go there to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Shangguan Yuanji's family has a great cause, and there is no shortage of talented people with outstanding abilities under his command.
Tang Yin was very relieved of his ability to do things, and he smiled and said, "Then this matter will get rid of Yuan Ji you" "Your lord's kindness" The next day, Tang Yin went to the border city to inspect.
The border city, as the name suggests, is a border city, located at the junction of the Wind Country and the Morphis Federation, and it stands to reason that the border city should be prosperous in commerce and trade, and the city is prosperous, but the border city is completely incompatible with words such as prosperity and prosperity.
It is attacked and harassed by barbarians all year round, and the people in the city have been slaughtered for a long time, and there is not much left, and the huge city is desolate and desolate, and there are no pedestrians on the streets, and some are only patrolling soldiers, and the city has become a military fortress.
Tang Yin didn't bring many people, only the two brothers Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao and more than 20 personal soldiers and guards around him.
Now in charge of the defense of the border city is the First Corps of Pingyuan County headed by Zhang Zhou.
Knowing that Tang Yin was coming, Zhang Zhou led several commanders out of the city to greet him.
This is the first time he has been to the border city, he was welcomed into the city, seeing the situation in the city, Tang Yin sighed in his heart, no wonder the tax revenue in Pingyuan County is pitiful, although there are two cities, but the border city is equal to nothing, and it is a huge burden, even the prosperity of the county town is probably not as good as the ordinary cities in other counties.
Just walked around the city, and Tang Yin asked Zhang Zhou to lead him up to the city wall to check.
The city walls of the border city have been consolidated several times, that is, they have been heightened and thickened a lot, all kinds of city defense facilities are very well prepared, and the grain and grass in the city are also well stocked, if the enemy really besieges the city, it is not a problem to insist on one or two months, but the problem is that the border city is too big, and it is empty on all sides, there is no danger to fight, and there is no moat outside the city.
I don't know if I don't come to inspect it, but I feel the existence of the problem when I come to the scene.
Tang Yin walked to a place of arrows and stopped, raised his eyes to look outside the city, outside the city, there was a vast grassland, which was the territory of the city-state of Besa.
Seeing him stop and look, Zhang Zhou stepped forward and explained: "That's the Prabhu steppe in the territory of Morfisn."
"Oh" he replied softly, then turned his head to look at Zhang Zhou and asked, "Is it enough for only one corps to garrison the border city?"
Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's not enough."
"If it's not enough, why not send more manpower" "Originally, there were only three corps in Pingyuan County, and it was not too small to put one corps in a border city.
In the past, there were indeed county guards who put two corps here in the border city, but as a result, the barbarians of Morphis suddenly attacked Hengcheng, and the defenders of Hengcheng were insufficient, resulting in the reinforcements of the border city before they could arrive, and the county town was breached, and the losses in that battle were heavy, and even the county guard was killed by the barbarians" Zhang Zhou shook his head and sighed.
"There are such tragic things."
Tang Yin said: "Therefore, it is very important to be well-informed, if we can keep abreast of the movements of the barbarian soldiers, similar tragedies will not happen again."
"Yes, my lord," Zhang Zhou nodded.
The defense of the border city is very perfect, the only problem is the lack of manpower, Tang Yin does not have a very good way to this point, although there are now five corps in the county, but the newly established fourth and fifth corps have just been formed, the establishment is not complete, and the personnel are all new soldiers, which cannot be used, if they are transferred to the two corps in the border city, the change of defense will become a problem.
"Is there any hostility recently," Tang Yin asked as he walked down after inspecting the city wall.
"Nothing was found."
Zhang Zhou said honestly.
"The brute seems to be very quiet for a while, and he has not been disturbed by the invasion."
Tang Yin said quietly.
Since he took up his post in Pingyuan County, there has not been a single incident of barbarian cross-border attacks, which is vaguely a trend of mountain rain coming.
Zhang Zhou was also a little puzzled by this, he muttered: "Yes, it has been very peaceful recently, which is a bit abnormal. ” The others reacted in the same way as he was incredulous.
Seeing this, Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh, it was a good thing that the barbarians didn't come to attack, but now it made him feel uncomfortable.
"Since the enemy is not coming, we will leave it alone, and we should seize this time to rectify the soldiers."
Tang Yin said.
"What the adults said is," Zhang Zhou agreed.

The food in the border town is quite rich, and it is all game, although it does not look very delicate, but the fragrance is tangy.
At the dinner table, Tang Yin picked up a piece of meat, just sniffed it and asserted: "This is a wild boar" Zhang Zhou, who was accompanying him on the left and right, and the thousands of commanders below were all stunned, and then asked in unison: "How do you know?"
How could he not know that Tang Yin had lived in the mountains since he was a child and knew everything about the game in the mountains.
He laughed, "I've eaten it before."
After a pause, he asked, "There are wild boars near the border city."
"Yes," Zhang Zhou said, "The mountains and forests in the east of the border city are very large, and there is all kinds of game in them, and if you are lucky, you can catch tigers and bears." ” Seeing a strange light flashing in Tang Yin's eyes, Zhang Zhouxiao asked, "If you are interested, you can go hunting in the afternoon, and by the way, you can also soak in the hot springs." ” "Hot Spring" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.
"Yes," a commander said along with Zhang Zhou's words: "My lord, the hot springs there are very good, especially in winter, the effect is even better, you can soak in the warmth while enjoying the snow."
Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and said, "If you say that, I can't even think about it." ” Hearing this, Zhang Zhou and the others also laughed.
Everyone had a good meal, and they planned to go hunting in the mountains after the meal, but as soon as the meal was finished, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
"Newspaper" With a long announcement, a soldier in a light military uniform hurried in from outside.
Entering the hall, the soldier knelt on one knee and said urgently: "Lord Tang, General Zhang, something is wrong, the barbarians suddenly attacked Yuanwang Town, and the defenders of the town are fighting with the barbarians, but they are outnumbered and the battle situation is critical."
"What" As soon as they heard this, everyone changed color in unison, and subconsciously stood up one after another.
Yuanwang Town is one of the eight towns under Pingyuan County, only 20 miles away from the border city, so it can be said that it is close at hand, and it is also a place that is often attacked by enemy troops.
Zhang Zhou hurriedly asked: "How many barbarians are there?"
"It's not clear, but at least in a thousand people" "Suffered" Hearing that there are more than 1,000 barbarian soldiers, Zhang Zhou immediately realized that it was not good, the defenders of Yuanwang County only had three large teams, less than a while, at best there were only about 300 people, how could they be the opponent of more than 1,000 barbarians.
With the ferocity of the brute soldiers, even if they rush over to rescue them now, I am afraid it will be too late.
When he was in a daze, Tang Yin asked with a gloomy face: "General Zhang, there are war horses in the city now?"
"Yes, yes, but only a hundred," Zhang Zhou said with an embarrassed face.
"Give me a hundred brothers with excellent horsemanship, and rush over with me for reinforcements," Tang Yin said as he walked out.
Seeing this, Brother Shangguan did not pause for a moment, and followed closely behind Tang Yin.
Zhang Zhou and the others trembled in their hearts, hurriedly followed, and asked in shock: "My lord plans to take only a hundred people to it, that's too dangerous."
"Otherwise, what should I do" Tang Yin looked back at Zhang Zhou and said, "If you go on foot, even if you rush to Yuanwang Town, it will be too late." ” Seeing that Zhang Zhou was still going to stop him, he frowned, and said coldly: "Don't be wordy, go and prepare the war horse, and besides, after I leave, you can send another two thousand brothers to reinforce, but you have to sit in the border city, don't fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, understand":
