Chapter 145 "I see" Tang Yin looked at the burning wooden sticks on the ground, and nodded slowly, no wonder Mo Jun would so easily give up all the more than ten checkpoints in the West Mountain Pass, it turned out that it was premeditated, smeared the pine in advance, and used fire attack on his side.
"King, if our army does not withdraw from the West Mountain Pass, I think the Mozambican army will still resort to the same trick and steal the camp at night, without approaching our army's camp, just releasing rockets from a distance, which can cause losses to our army.
This time, our army was lucky, only destroyed some camp tents, and if the grain and grass were damaged next time, the consequences would be serious.
Qiu Zhen reminded meaningfully.
Tang Yin knocked his forehead, pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we underestimated this Xishan County too much, and we also underestimated Shao Yu too much."
"That's right" Qiu Zhen agreed, and said: "Shao Fang can wipe out the Shao family, but he doesn't dare to touch Shao Yu, the head of a county, which shows that even Shao Fang is quite jealous of this person. ” Tang Yin sighed lightly and said, "Okay, just do what you want, our army will withdraw from the West Mountain Pass and set up camp outside the West Mountain Pass." ” Qiu Zhen arched his hand and said: "The king is wise" After the attack on Fengyang was blocked, Tang Yin ordered the whole army to withdraw from the Xishan Pass, and strictly prevent the sneak attack of the Mo army.
Now the wind army has become a tiger and it is difficult to get down, the attack is not, the retreat is not, and Xishan County has become Tang Yin's henchman.
Just when the Feng Army was in a dilemma outside the West Mountain Pass, a person rushed to the Feng Army camp, the Feng Country's Zhisu Neishi, Zhang Xin, and Zhang Xin came with another person, Cai Gui.
Zhang Xin came from Ningdi.
At the beginning, the Sanshui Army reinforced Tia and fought with the Duji Army, Zhang Xin was sent to Ningdi by Tang Yin to be responsible for the logistics of the Sanshui Army, after Zhang Xin arrived in Ningdi, he drastically punished a large number of corrupt officials in Ningdi, and also involved Cai Song, in order to avoid trouble, Cai Song gave Zhang Xin a lot of benefits, and the relationship between the two became intimate.
With the end of the Tia War, Zhang Xin should also return to Yancheng, the wind capital, and at this time, the war between the Wind Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom broke out again.
It stands to reason that Zhang Xin can continue to stay in Ningdi and coordinate the logistics affairs of the two armies, but Zhang Xin himself feels that the future of staying in Ningdi is slim, even if he makes merits, the king who is far away in Mozambique may not be able to see it, and then decided to go to Mozambique by himself, although he may not be able to help, but it is better to do things by the king's side than in Ningdi.
Knowing that Zhang Xin was going to leave Ningdi and go to see Mo and Tang Yin converge, Cai Song took the initiative to find him, and also gave a heavy gift, and proposed to Zhang Xin, hoping that he could recommend his second son Cai Gui to the king, so that Cai Gui could find an official position in the imperial court.
The family's mouth is short, and the hands of others are short, Zhang Xin accepts too many bribes from the Cai family, and now Cai Song makes such a request, he is not easy to refuse, not to mention that in his mind, the king's impression of the Cai family is not good, and the reason why Cai Song is important now is just an expedient measure, even if Cai Gui is recommended to the king, it may not be reused, and it will not affect his status in the court.
The cunning Zhang Xin never dreamed, he had made a lot of calculations, but this time he looked away.
Cai Songken sent his most powerful assistant and closest second son to serve in the imperial court, which was all Cai Gui's own will.
Zhang Xin can see that Tang Yin's reuse of the Cai family is just a temporary expedient measure, and the extremely smart Cai Gui can't see that he proposed to Cai Song that the Cai family wants to consolidate their status and power, and it is far from enough to rely on the relationship between the younger sister Cai Youling and the king, as for the right minister Shangguan Yuanji, it is even more unreliable, it is better to rely on others than on oneself, the Cai family must have someone to hold an important position in the court, and at the same time need to be trusted and reused by the king, only in this way can the Cai family's status in Ningdi last for a long time, You won't be killed one day.
It's okay to let Cai Song steal Jian and play tricks, but in terms of the overall situation, he is far inferior to Cai Gui, and he is very self-aware of himself, and he also knows that the second son's mind is far better than his own, so he has always obeyed Cai Gui's strategy.
This time, hearing Cai Gui propose to borrow Zhang Xin as a springboard to serve in the DPRK, although Cai Song was reluctant and very uneasy, he finally nodded and agreed.
This is how Zhang Xin and Cai Gui arrived at the camp of the Feng Army together.
For Zhang Xin's arrival, Tang Yin and the generals in the army were very surprised, he was the internal history of Zhisu, although he was a high-ranking official, he was a civilian, and he had no role in the army.
In the Zhongjun tent of the Feng Army camp, Zhang Xin and Cai Gui met Tang Yin.
Seeing Zhang Xin, Tang Yin was very surprised, and when he saw Cai Gui also coming, he was even more puzzled, but he didn't rush to ask, and asked Zhang Xin first: "Zhang Xin, why did you come to Mozambique?"
Zhang Xin had already thought of the wording, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, the Sanshui army has been withdrawn from Tia to the country, and the affairs of Weichen in Ningdi have been settled, so he returned to the capital, and on the way, the minister heard that Mozambique offended our country, and the king personally led his division to go out, so Weichen rushed over to see if there was a place where Weichen could contribute." ” After hearing this, Tang Yin didn't feel anything, Qiu Zhen was already frowning.
Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin have always looked at each other unpleasantly, and the contradictions between the two have been around for a long time.
Qiu Zhen sneered and said: "Lord Zhang, as a minister of the court, don't you know that the king of the court has not summoned you, and you come privately, just this one, you can be convicted of bullying the king."
Zhang Xin rolled his eyes in anger, but the expression on his face was still very peaceful, and he said: "The lower officials came all the way to the king, and it was also out of loyalty to the king, even if Qiu Xiang looked at the lower officials for a long time, he didn't have to put a big hat like the crime of bullying the king on the head of the lower officials."
"Haha" Qiu Zhen was angry, raised his head and asked: "Could it be that the prime minister has wronged you, and you can't go from Ningdi to Mozambique, the journey is not thousands of miles, you are so good?"
The two of them were-for-tat, and Cai Gyu kept his head down and was silent, but he was secretly observing the expressions of everyone present, and he also hoped to distinguish the faction in the court as soon as possible, so as to plan which side he would occupy in the future.
The people present were either generals or strategists, and they were basically subordinates of Qiu Zhen, the left minister, and naturally Qiu Zhen was the first to look forward.
Qiu Zhen didn't like Zhang Xin, and the other people's faces were not much better for Zhang Xin.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Tang Yin, who was already upset, waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel anymore."
He turned his head to Qiu Zhen and said: "Qiu Zhen, Zhang Xin's ability to rush from Ningdi to Mozambique is also out of good intentions.
After speaking, he said to Zhang Xin: "The two armies are fighting, you can do very little as a civil official, it is better to go back to the DPRK and China to deal with government affairs earlier, and now Yuanji also needs a competent helper."
Tang Yin's words don't seem to be inclined to either side, but in fact, you can still feel his trust and importance to Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin dared to be disrespectful to Qiu Zhen, but he didn't dare to snub Tang Yin in the slightest, he nodded again and again, and responded: "The king has taught him a very good lesson, and Weichen will return to China tomorrow." ” Tang Yin smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you can rest in the army for a few days." ” Zhang Xin said movingly: "Thank you for your understanding." ” "Hmph" Qiu Zhen snorted coldly, turned his head, and didn't look at him.
Afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, Tang Yin opened his mind, looked at Cai Gui, and asked, "Cai Gui, you are not helping your father in peace, what are you doing on the battlefield ahead?"
Without waiting for Cai Gui to speak, Zhang Xin preemptively continued: "Now is the time for me to employ people, and Cai Gongzi is resourceful and a rare talent, so Weichen brought him and recommended him to the king."
As he spoke, he also glanced at him Tang Yin repeatedly.
Tang Yin was so smart, seeing this, he immediately understood Zhang Xin's intentions.
He said that he recommended Cai Gui to himself, but in fact, he brought a hostage to himself, if Cai Song dared to make trouble in Ningdi one day, then the first to die would be his own son Cai Gui.
He looked up and smiled, and said smoothly: "Since it is a talent recommended by Master Zhang, it must not be wrong."
After a pause, Tang Yin said again: "Cai Gui, you will temporarily serve as the chairman of the Zuo Counsel Council, and if you have merit in the future, you will be promoted." ” Feng Guo's Zuo Counsel Speaker Shi is only an insignificant six-grade petty official in the court, and he has no right to participate in the court discussion, and his direct boss is the prime minister's long history, to put it bluntly, he is the secretary and assistant of the prime minister's envoy, and there are a lot of official affairs, and there is no credit, and it is a thankless position.
Cai Gui didn't expect Tang Yin to give him any big officials, so when he heard Tang Yin appoint himself as the chairman of the Left Counsel, he immediately kowtowed forward and said, "Thank you to King Longen."
Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said, "When Lord Zhang returns to the capital, you will go with Lord Zhang." ” "It's the king."

Cai Guibi replied respectfully, and then asked: "King, our army is stationed outside the West Mountain Pass, I don't know what the purpose is."
Hearing this, the old faces of all the generals present were all red, they couldn't beat Fengyang, and they were attacked by the Mo army in the West Mountain Pass, and they were forced to be stationed outside the West Mountain Pass.
Seeing that everyone was embarrassed, especially Qiu Zhen was among them, how could Zhang Xin miss this opportunity to humiliate his political opponents, he hurriedly answered: "Yes, king, now is the time for our army commander to drive straight into the hinterland of Mozambique, why is he stationed here?"
Everyone is their own people, Tang Yin has no need to hide it, he shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and said: "Originally, our army wanted to capture Xishan County, but Fengyang, the gateway to Xishan County, was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army's attacks were blocked several times, and it also lost troops, so it could only be forced to be stationed here and think hard about how to break the enemy." ” "It turns out that the minister thought that with Qiu Xiang's presence, our army would definitely be invincible and invincible, but he didn't expect it, but he was blocked by a mere Fengyang."
Zhang Xin didn't forget to glance at Qiu Zhen mockingly when he spoke, and the implication was that you were nothing more than that
