Chapter 183 Tang Yin escorted the three families of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang to Tianyuan County quietly, but Yancheng was in a mess at this time.
Zhong Tian was assassinated, although his surname was saved, but Wu Mei let the assassin snatch it, which was like cutting off a piece of his heart, the old man also went crazy, and ordered the whole city to be blocked, and searched from house to house, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he had to find out the assassin and Wu Mei.
When the generals came back to report to Zhong Tianyu, the latter was furious and immediately sent people to Zhong Mansion to interrogate the dancers, trying to find out the identity of the assassin and the hiding place from them.
But the people he sent to the Zhong Mansion to ask, and found that the dancer's people were gone, and the defenders said that the dancer, along with the Liang family and the Ziyang family, was taken away by Zhong Sang, saying that they were brought into the palace.
As soon as the visitor heard this, his face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran back to the palace to explain the matter to Zhong Tianyu.
When Zhong Tian heard this, his nose was almost crooked, when did Zhong Sang arrive at the palace and when did he bring the people from the Liang, Wu, and Ziyang families to the palace He immediately asked people to go to Zhong Sang's house to find Zhong Sang and ask him about the matter.
Zhong Tian's people went to Zhong Sang's house and asked, Zhong Sang's family said that Zhong Sang went to Deng Mingyang's house last night as a guest and never came back, Zhong Tian's people had no choice but to go to Deng Mingyang's house again, but where are there still people in the Deng family, or where are there still living people, there are more than a dozen corpses lying in the courtyard, and in the main house, they saw Zhong Sang, who had been dead for a long time.
The nephew of the new king died in the home of a thousand-commander, and the commander and his family disappeared out of thin air, the whole incident has become inexplicable, confusing, no one can figure out the reason, if Zhong Sang is already dead, then who is the Zhong Sang who went to mention people at night is his ghost Zhong Tian blocked Yancheng for three days, during these three days, he was only allowed to enter, not to go out, and strictly investigated the assassins and the people of the Liang, Wu, and Ziyang families, in Zhong Tian's mind, the city had already been sealed, they must still be in the city, since they were in the city, there were so many people, and they must not be able to hide for long.
However, there was no gain for three whole days, and no valuable clues were found, until three days later, the officers searched Yue's house, and when people went to Yue's house in the empty building and found a secret passage out of the city, the rebels led by Zhong Tian suddenly realized that the person they wanted to track down was no longer in the city, but had gone through the secret passage to the outside of the city.
Zhong Tian was in a hurry, and he sent an order to go down and let the whole country strictly investigate the fugitives.
But at this time, it was too late to convey the instructions of the whole country's wanted, and Tang Yin and the others had already traveled for three days and three nights overnight, far away from Yancheng.
When Tang Yin and his entourage arrived in Guannan County, the flying pigeon biography of Yancheng had also reached the hands of the head of Guannan County, but after reading the biography, Zhao Hui, the head of the county, did not make a public announcement, nor did he circulate it to his officials, but privately suppressed Zhong Tian's wanted warrant.
Zhao Hui, the head of Guannan County, is very shrewd, don't look at the people of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang who are now wanted criminals, but the strength of the people is still there, and there are many cronies, which can he afford to offend, in case he conveys this wanted warrant, and the people of these three families really ran to Guannan County and were caught by his subordinates, then he handed over the people or not, wouldn't he be in a dilemma, it was better to ignore them, pretend not to receive the flying pigeon summons, and don't know about it.
He pretended to be confused, and the entire Guannan County was the same as usual, the wind and waves were calm, and there was still no martial law in the cities in the county, let alone any checkpoints set up on the road.
In this way, Tang Yin and the others returned to Tianyuan County more smoothly.
Tang Yin's rescue operation can be described as a great success, his two main goals have been achieved, rescuing the most important hostage in Zhong Tian's hands, causing a great weakening of his overall strength, and he also sees one thing clearly, that is, Zhong Tian is indeed unpopular, even the people of the capital hate him to the core, if he sends troops to crusade against Zhong Tian, it may not be as difficult as he imagined.
Three days later, Tang Yin and others passed through Guannan County and arrived at Tianguan safely.
Hearing the news that Tang Yin had returned to Tianyuan County safely, the civil and military generals led by Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji went out of the customs early to greet them.
Along the way, the soldiers they saw had all changed into red clothes, and it was only now that they saw the traditional black clothes of the Wind Country, and saw the banner with a black background and white face in the wind, Liang Xing, Wu Yu, Ziyang Haochun and others all had a feeling of being like a world away, not without excitement, and the old eyes also flashed with tears.
In the past, Tianyuan County was just a distant edge in their eyes, but now they all felt at home.
Even after worrying about it, now it can finally relieve the tense nerves, and many people can't hold on and are paralyzed in the car.
At this time, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and others came forward one after another, ignoring the others, but all arrived in front of Tang Yin, tidied up their clothes, knelt on one knee to salute, and said loudly: "My subordinates welcome your lord back to the customs" As far as the eye can see, people are falling down, and the scene can be described as spectacular.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone, floated off the horse, smiled lightly, waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be polite" As he spoke, he looked back at Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, and said, "Let's go and meet Wu Xiang, Liang Xiang and General Ziyang."
Hearing this, everyone got up one after another, walked to Liang Xing, Wuyu, and Ziyang Haochun, and did not salute, but just bowed and said, "I have seen Wuxiang, Liang Xiang, and General Ziyang" Although the official positions of Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun are much higher than Tang Yin, people have not forgotten that Tang Yin is now their lord, and Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun are no longer the prime ministers and generals of the royal court, and have long been deposed by Zhong Tian, who usurped power.
Seeing everyone's favoritism, the three of them naturally felt uncomfortable, but after all, it was on other people's land, no matter how awkward they felt, they could only endure it, but fortunately, Tang Yin was still very polite to them, there was no arrogance to show kindness to others, and there was no overlord of one side, and politely let the three of them into the pass.
There are a lot of wind troops seen outside the pass, and when they enter the pass, there are more wind troops, and the black pressure is all soldiers, and the barracks and camp tents are one after another, and they can't tell the number, and then look at the wind troops who stop and watch, they can be called strong soldiers and horses, especially the spirit and spirit, and each is doubled.
No matter from the perspective of military appearance or military style, the more than 200,000 wind troops stationed in Tianguan can be called outstanding, of course, this is not entirely Tang Yin's credit, in fact, he is not very good at governing the army, but fortunately, Tang Yin has a special vision and can select the most suitable talents in those important positions.
While walking towards the main camp, Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun were also secretly frightened, who would have thought that Tang Yin, who only served as the head of the corps in Yancheng, would be able to form such a large and large army in Tianyuan County, and it seemed that the military funds and food were sufficient.
Tang Yin asked Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun's families to be placed properly, and then let the three of them into his big tent, when the guest sat down, he didn't be polite, and sat directly on the main seat in the middle, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and others also followed recently, and first reported the important things that happened to Tang Yin left.
The most important of these is a letter from Zhao Hui, the county guard of Guannan County.
There are many contents of this letter, most of which are praises for Tang Yin, flattery, only in the end did he write his true intentions, saying that he was willing to respect Zhong Tian as the king, it was completely out of necessity, Guannan's army had been reinforcing Yancheng at the beginning, and now it was trapped outside Yancheng City, Guannan County had no army available, and could not compete with Zhong Tian's forces, but his heart was still inclined to the wind, and he still hoped to restore the country, if Tang Yin intended to send troops to fight against Zhong Tian, he would not obstruct it, not only would he let go, but also provide part of the military funds and food.
After reading the letter from beginning to end, Tang Yin handed the letter to Wu Yu with a smile and said, "Please take a look at the dance." ” Wu Yu took it, snorted after reading it, and said: "It's still this Zhao Hui's acquaintance" As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin squarely and said: "Since Zhong Tian, a traitor, usurped the throne, he changed the name of the country, and he also killed Zhongliang, and he also ceded land to Ning Guo and called him a vassal.
This is exactly what Tang Yin wants to say.
He looked embarrassed and said: "Although Tianyuan County has 200,000 troops, Zhong Tian's troops are stronger, and there are 400,000 Ning troops to help, if I rush to send troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with them."
Hearing this, Wu Yu frowned and didn't speak, Ziyang Haochun hurriedly said, "When is Lord Tang going to wait?"
Tang Yin sighed deliberately and said, "Even if we don't wait until we are nine out of ten, we have to wait until our army is strong enough to confront Zhong Tian." ” Ziyang Haochun is anxious surname, straight to the point, he can't listen to the words around the bush, he asked with a straight face: "How many troops can be compared to Zhong Tianyi in the eyes of Lord Tang?"
"At least 400,000" "How much time does it take to recruit an army of 400,000?"
"Based on the current situation of Tianyuan County, three or five years is enough."
"Three or five years" Ziyang Haochun heard this, and his brows furrowed into a pimple.
Where can he wait for three or five years, now he is under the fence of Tianyuan County, nothing is anything, as long as he returns to Yancheng and recovers the Wind Country, he can continue to be his original general.
Of course, Liang Xing and Wu Yu also have the same thoughts as him, but it's just that it's hard to say.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen immediately pretended to say: "My lord, if we wait for three or five years, although our strength will increase by then, Zhongtian's power will also be consolidated, and the crusade against our army will be even more unfavorable."
"Yes, yes, yes" Liang, Wu, and Ziyang echoed in unison, pointing at Qiu Zhen and saying, "What this adult said is extremely true" They don't know Qiu Zhen at all, and they can't call his name
