Chapter 441 This is kind of to the old mayor's heart.
The old mayor himself was a victim of this Fengmo war, not only his daughter was almost robbed by the jade soldiers, but even his aunt was also missing in the war, life and death were uncertain, and his daughter washed her face with tears every day.
He sighed empathetically and said, "Yes, if we can end this war earlier, we and the other small people will no longer have to live in fear all day long." ” Tang Yin said: "When the war ends is determined by when Shao Fang will fall.
After a pause, he added: "If our army can capture Zhenjiang one day earlier, the war will end one day earlier, and vice versa."
What do you say, sir?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes," the old mayor nodded.
Tang Yin said regretfully: "However, the Zhenjiang naval division on the opposite side is very strong, and the defense of Zhenjiang is also very tight, if our army attacks the past, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, but if the war drags on for a long time, our army is stationed on the north bank of Zhenjiang, and they have to eat and drink every day, but I am afraid that it is the people on the north bank who will suffer in the end." ” The implication is that if the people on the north bank want to be freed as soon as possible, they have to help the Fengyu coalition army to cross Zhenjiang and capture Zhenjiang City as soon as possible.
The old mayor is not an ordinary ordinary ordinary person, how can he not hear Tang Yin's voice.
His heart was shocked, and he hurriedly hung his head, silent.
Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled indifferently and said: "The old gentleman is the local mayor, and he should be the most familiar with the environment of Zhenjiang, so he should know the deployment situation on the south bank."
The old mayor trembled, and replied cautiously: "Engong doesn't know, Zhenjiang has been closed for a long time, and since the closure of the river, Xiao Lao'er has never been to the south bank, so he doesn't know much about the situation on the south bank. ” "Is it" Tang Yin smiled lightly, and did not ask any further, he picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat casually, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, what kind of fish is this, it tastes very delicious." ” The old mayor glanced down and said busily: "This is a red sea bass specialty of Zhenjiang." ” "Oh" Tang Yin nodded, and then asked with a smile: "The old gentleman said that Zhenjiang has been closed for a long time."
"Yes, yes."
I didn't understand why Tang Yin asked this, and the old town mayor nodded Mu Ran.
"Since the river has been closed for a long time, where does this Zhenjiang specialty red sea bass come from" Tang Yin picked up a piece of fish again, looked at it carefully, and said: "The fish will stink after two days, this fish is obviously fresh, old man, what do you say?"
Unexpectedly, the other party's mind was so detailed, and this loophole that was not easy to be noticed at all, and even the old mayor himself was not aware of it, was actually seen by him.
The old mayor's face suddenly changed, and he didn't know how to answer.
At this time, the young woman on the side continued: "Engong, these fish are all bought from fishermen, and in order to make a living, even if the river is closed, some fishermen still take the risk of going out of the boat and fishing in the river. ” This explanation sounds reasonable, if the old mayor answered like his daughter at the beginning, Tang Yin would not be suspicious, but it was too strange that the old mayor couldn't answer such a simple thing.
Tang Yin put down his chopsticks, then stood up, looked at the old mayor and said, "Old man, I'm full and say goodbye."
As he spoke, he turned and was about to walk out.
The old mayor hurriedly stood up, looking at Tang Yin's table, he didn't drink a sip of wine, and he only ate two bites of food, how could he be full He stepped forward quickly and asked, "Engong, but the wine and food are not to taste."
Tang Yin shook his head slowly and said: "Wine is good wine, and the food is also good food, but it's a pity that the old gentleman hides hostility towards us and hides everything, which makes me feel like sitting on pins and needles, and no matter how delicious the wine and food are, it becomes difficult to swallow." ” After a pause, he said again: "The old gentleman is a big family in this town, and I don't know how many people covet it, if someone comes to the door to find trouble in the future, resulting in a repeat of today's incident, I am afraid that no one will stand up to help the old gentleman at that time." ” After speaking, he didn't stop anymore and strode out.
Cheng Jin, Ah San and Ah Si also followed.
Tang Yin's last words were actually a naked threat, and the faces of the old mayor and the young woman changed greatly.
The old mayor was willing to let Tang Yin and the others leave like this, feeling that they should be high-level members of the Feng Army, and if he offended them, will he be better in the future, and he will be fine, but he is afraid that his family will also be implicated.
He was so anxious that he was sweating, and chased from the hall to the courtyard of the vestibule, seeing that Tang Yin and the others were about to go out of the gate, he turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Engong stays, this town is fifty miles to the east, and there is a place called back to Shuiwan, where there is no defense on the other side, and the fishermen are fishing quietly there." ” These words were more useful than anything else, and the four of Tang Yin suddenly stopped their steps, turned around in unison, and looked at the old mayor in unison.
The latter's face turned red, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, and his legs trembled suddenly.
Tang Yin's originally expressionless face, his eyes suddenly bent, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a soft smile, he shook his head and walked back to the old mayor, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The old gentleman really has a backwater bay in this sentence."
The old mayor nodded helplessly and replied, "There is indeed this place."
The river there happened to be a big bend, the water was turbulent and dangerous, and the ships were not suitable to dock at the shore, so it was relatively difficult to deploy defenses, and it was far away from the capital, so the Zhenjiang Naval Division might give up defending there. ” "There is such a thing."
Tang Yin's eyes rolled, and he secretly said in his heart: This is a good opportunity, thinking of this, he asked, "Would the old gentleman take me to see it?"
"Oh" The old mayor hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Now?"
Fifty miles is not close, and the road on the shore is not easy to walk, and it will take two or three hours to go back and forth.
With such an important military situation, where can Tang Yin Zhengse say: "It's now, what, isn't it convenient for the old gentleman?"
"No, no, it's just a long way to go" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin continued: "If the old gentleman doesn't have a carriage at home, I can ask someone to arrange one." ” Listening to Tang Yin's meaning, he has to go if he goes, and he has to go if he doesn't go.
The old mayor was helpless, and said with a wry smile: "There is still a carriage, since Engong insists on going, then the little old man might as well obey his fate respectfully." ” Tang Yin smiled happily, but Cheng Jin, Ah San and Ah Si frowned, they had never heard of a place called Backwater Bay, and the king went so rashly, what if it was a trap, what if there was an accident Cheng Jin reminded in a low voice: "Childe" Tang Yin understood what he meant, and without waiting for him to finish, he waved his hand slightly, turned his head sideways, and whispered: "It's okay, with the Lingwu we are waiting for, even if there is a real accident, what can we do?"
said so, but Cheng Jin was still not at ease, he said in a low voice: "When the meeting goes out, the subordinates will release a secret signal to remind the brothers of the dark arrow to follow and protect." ” "It's fine."
Tang Yin nodded, not saying more.
The old mayor only took a servant who drove the car and led Tang Yin and the four of them to Huishuiwan.
Ah San and Ah Si rode horses around the carriage, while Tang Yin and Cheng Jin did not ride horses, but sat in the carriage and chatted with the old mayor.
On the way, Tang Yin said puzzledly: "Our soldiers have carefully inspected the upper and lower reaches of Zhenjiang, but they have never found a backwater bay. ” The old mayor said quietly: "Backwater Bay is an inconspicuous small place, and the location is relatively closed, and it is really not easy for outsiders to find it." ” Tang Yin can understand this, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to get familiar with the local environment at once, even if the spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Network are capable, it is impossible to find all the places in the upper and lower reaches of Zhenjiang, let alone a place dozens of miles away from his own military camp.
He smiled at the old mayor and said, "If Backwater Bay is really the best place to cross the river, I will definitely reward the old gentleman heavily, even if the old gentleman is the lord of a city, it is not impossible."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
The old mayor's heart was secretly moved, and he was even more suspicious of Tang Yin's identity.
To make a long story short, after walking on the potholed riverside path for more than an hour, the carriage could not move forward.
When you get here, there is no way to go on the shore, and as far as the eye can see, there are strange rocks and rock walls, and you can only walk through the mountains and forests on the shore.

Walking into the woods, Cheng Jin, Ah San and Ah Si all mentioned twelve points of caution, carefully observing their front and back, left and right, for fear that there was an ambush nearby.
However, their worries were unnecessary, the forest was normal, and there was no ambush at all.
There was a path in the woods, and it seemed that there were people who often passed by here, and walked along the path for a while, and when they came to the fork, the old mayor changed direction and walked towards the fork in the road.
Cheng Jin caught up and asked, "Old man, how long will it take to arrive?"
"It's almost there, just follow this road out of the woods."
The old mayor is obviously familiar with the road and the environment.
After following the old mayor for a while, out of the mountains and forests, there was really a crooked waterway in front of him.
This is a mountainous terrain, Zhenjiang just passes between the two mountains, and it looks like a huge knife cutting a mountain in half from the center.
In addition, there is no sand on both sides of the riverbank, strange rocks are numerous, and it is full of moss, light and slippery, it is difficult to find a place to stand people, just such a place, it is impossible to defend at all, whether it is the north bank or the south bank.
Among the rocks at Tang Yin's feet, there are several small rafts, apparently belonging to fishermen, who have borrowed this place to fish on the river.
Tang Yin didn't know about water warfare, but he could also see that this was really a unique place to cross the river
