Chapter 188 Yancheng.
Zhong Tian finally put a stop to the desertion phenomenon in the army with great effort, but at this time his vitality was greatly damaged, and more than half of the 200,000 directly subordinate corps of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang had escaped, and the establishment of the 20 corps was useless and no longer useful.
At this time, Zhan Invincible, one of the commanders of the Ning army, took the initiative to come to Zhong Tian and asked him to immediately assemble the army under his command, unite the Ning army, and attack Tianyuan County headed by Tang Yin.
Zhan Invincible and Zhan Wushuang are brothers, both are the generals of Ningguo, high and powerful, and they are the red people in front of King Ning, Zhong Tian didn't dare to ignore them, after listening to the words of Zhan Invincible, he nodded again and again, and promised: "Although the general can rest assured, this king will gather the royal division as soon as possible and exterminate the rebellious minister Tang Yin."
Zhan Invincible glanced at Zhong Tian, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
It is precisely because of Zhong Tianlai who is in charge of the army that he feels relieved, this time there are deserters, and more than 100,000 people will be reduced at once, and if it is delayed, what will happen if it is not good, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he can only come forward in person and urge Zhong Tian to go out immediately, and the 400,000 Ning army has been stationed in the country of wind for a long time, and the soldiers are eager to return home, and they can no longer delay.
After Zhong Tian met with the invincible war, he immediately began to assemble the army, and under his patchwork, he also gathered more than 300,000 people, including six corps directly under Zhong Tian, five corps originally owned by the royal family, four corps from the three tribes of Liang, Wu and Ziyang, and 200,000 local troops stationed outside Yancheng in each county, totaling 350,000 people.
The 350,000 troops under Zhong Tian and the 400,000 Ning army were ready to go north to attack Tang Yin, and at the same time Tang Yin was not idle, on the one hand, he began to transfer the 400,000 Tianyuan army south and entered Guannan County, and on the other hand, he asked people to ride fast horses to the city-state of Besa and borrow troops from its king.
Tang Yin started from Pingyuan County, and Pingyuan County was harassed by the Besa Army, and was naturally very familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Besa Army, Qiu Zhen suggested to Tang Yin to borrow cavalry from Besa, Besa's heavy armored cavalry is extremely strong in terms of combat effectiveness and defense, and the Feng Army of Yancheng and the Ning Army from afar have never seen heavy armored cavalry, once they encounter it on the battlefield, they will definitely suffer a big loss if they are not prepared.
Tang Yin felt that Qiu Zhen's suggestion was very reasonable, and immediately adopted it, and personally asked people to write a letter in Besa language and send it to Besa City, and also sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to show his gratitude.
As for marching into Guannan County, this is Tang Yin's own proposition, in order to protect the foundation of Tianyuan County, he does not want to start a war at the door of Tianyuan County, but wants to put the battlefield outside Tianyuan County, many people do not understand it, do not understand why there is a Tianguan this natural danger not to defend, but to go to Guannan County to defend the enemy, lose the advantage of defense, only rely on frontal combat, with their current strength It is impossible to defeat the opponent's 700,000 or 800,000 enemy troops.
However, several commanders in the army unanimously supported Tang Yin, believing that it would be more beneficial for them to fight in Guannan County.
They weren't as afraid that leading the war to their doorstep would undermine the economy and stability of Tianyuan County, but they felt that fighting in Guannan County would be more surprising and they would be caught off guard by killing Zhong Tian.
Now Zhong Tian doesn't know that Zhao Hui, the head of Guannan County, is inclined to his side, so he naturally regards the Guannan Army as his own chassis, and after recently, he must be completely defenseless, if he suddenly kills at this time, surprises, and attacks it unprepared, he will definitely be able to break the coalition army of Zhong Tian and Ning Guo.
After listening to the analysis of these managers, those who expressed opposition stopped talking, after all, what they said was also very reasonable.
The county seat of Guannan County is Tongzhou, which is very close to Tianguan, and it is faster to go from Tianguan to Tongzhou than Tianguan to Shunzhou.
Tang Yin commanded the 10,000 troops directly under Tianyuan County as the advance force, and after a day and a night of rapid marching, they arrived outside Tongzhou City.
At this time, it was early in the morning, the sky was cloudy, Tang Yince immediately stepped forward, went to the city wall, looked up, the huge Tongzhou City, the high and thick city wall could not see a few soldiers at all, and the hanging flags were even more ridiculous, some were red and white Peng flags, and some were black and white wind flags.
With Tang Yin, there were also three brothers, Shangguan Yuanrang, Yuanwu, and Yuan Biao, Shangguan Yuanrang urged the horse to come to Tang Yin's side, snorted at the city wall, and said: "I think this Zhao Hui, the head of Guannan County, is a wall grass, which side is windy and which side is down, and even the flags are hung in case of emergency."
Tang Yin was also happy, shook his head, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly to the city wall: "Brother in the city, listen, I am Tang Yin, the head of Tianyuan County, you go and inform your county head, Lord Zhao, and let him come out and talk to me."
His shout finally alarmed the soldiers at the head of the city.
After a long period of confusion, someone finally timidly poked out half of his head from the wall, looked down, and saw a large number of people outside the city, and they were all horse teams, and several large flags in front of them, embroidered with the words wind, Tianyuan, and Tang respectively.
The wait-and-see soldier gasped, strengthened his courage, and asked uncertainly, "Who are you?"
Tang Yin rolled his eyes, increased his voice again, and shouted: "Tianyuan County, Tang Yin" Oops, it was Tang Yin's legs that were weak and almost sat on the ground.
Tang Yin came to Tongzhou, Tang Yin, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, actually ran to Tongzhou, what did he come to do Won't he come to attack Tongzhou, the soldier held the arrow stack in his hand, swallowed and foamed with difficulty, and stammered and asked: "Does Lord Tang want to see Lord Zhao?"
Tang Yin almost laughed out loud, what kind of general there is, what kind of soldier there is.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's call your family to come out and talk first."
"Yes, yes, it's Lord Tang, then you wait outside the city for a while, and I'll go to Tongyu" "It's so hard for this brother" "Oh, my lord, you're polite, you're polite."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, I couldn't find the slightest smell of gunpowder, let alone a hostile force.
Zhao Hui didn't want to be Zhong Tian's lackey, let alone make an enemy of Tang Yin, who held high the banner of the gale, and the same was true of his soldiers, not to mention that the Guannan army had no soldiers available now, and even if there were soldiers, they would not start a war with Tang Yin.
After the soldier finished talking to Tang Yin, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, ran down the city wall like a fire on his buttocks, and went to the county capital to report the matter.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the gate of Tongzhou was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a county guard hurriedly walked out of the city under the protection of more than a dozen guards.
This group of cavalry, the horses are strong, the knights are burly, the helmets are bright, the spirit is full, and the round eyes are shining, which is breathtaking.
Just by looking at the appearance of the army, it is not difficult to judge its combat effectiveness.
Zhao Hui is not a mediocre and incompetent person, so he can naturally feel it.
He licked his dry lips, took two steps forward, and said with a dry smile: "In Zhao Hui, the head of Xiaguannan County, may I ask, which one is Lord Tang Yin?"
"Lord Zhao, it's been a long time, under Tang Yin" Between speaking, Tang Yin flew off the horse neatly, came to Zhao Hui, arched his hand to him, and at the same time, looked Zhao Hui up and down like a knife.
It turns out that this is Tang Yin, who has been in the limelight recently.
Tang Yin is much younger than Zhao Hui expected, looking only twenty-five or six, wearing black helmet and black armor, and wearing a black coat on the back, his appearance is not as vicious as ordinary generals, but very handsome and delicate, especially his natural smiling face, giving people a natural sense of closeness, but when they see his pair of wild eyes, anyone will be startled, but there is a strange green light in the dark eyes, and there is a deterrent force that makes people feel oppressed.
"Lord Tang, I have admired it for a long time, but I have heard the name of Lord Tang for a long time" In front of Tang Yin, Zhao Hui was naturally a head shorter, with a humble and polite attitude, as if he had forgotten that he was at the same level as Tang Yin, and he was the head of the same county.
Tang Yin smiled: "Lord Zhao is polite. ” "Lord Tang is here suddenly, yes" "I want to defend against the coalition forces of Zhong Tian and Ning Guo in Guannan County, I don't know if Lord Zhao can help from this" "Ah" Zhao Hui inhaled, paused slightly, and said sideways: "Lord Tang, can you speak further?"
Tang Yin nodded, and was about to enter the city with Zhao Hui, and the cavalry behind them were about to step forward when they saw this, Tang Yin waved his hand at them and said: "Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao stay to lead the team, just let me enter the city with me."
"Yes, my lord" Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao agreed, and retreated to their own phalanx.
Guannan County is now empty, and he doesn't dare to do anything to Tang Yin, even if he wants to plot against him, with Shangguan Yuan present, the other party can't find a bargain.
Tang Yin only took Guan Yuan and followed Zhao Hui into the city with a swagger, and Zhao Hui was already impressed by this courage alone.

On the way, he deliberately kept his guards farther away, and then asked Tang Yin: "Actually, I also hate Zhong Tian's usurpation, presumably Lord Tang should have understood this a long time ago." ” "En" Tang Yin nodded, regardless of whether Zhao Hui hated Zhong Tian or not, it was true that he vigorously funded his own military rations, which still made Tang Yin very grateful.
"Therefore, if Lord Tang wants to fight Zhong Tian, I will definitely stand on Lord Tang's side, as long as there is a place where I am needed, Lord Tang will also speak, and I will definitely help."
"Very good, with Lord Zhao's words, I am relieved."
Tang Yin said with a smile.
While walking towards the city, he also looked around, now the sky is just dawning, many shops in Tongzhou City have begun to open, and there are pedestrians on the street one after another, from which it is not difficult to see that Zhao Hui has managed Tongzhou City very well
