"Huh?" Shangguan Yuanji suspected that he had misheard. Didn't his two brothers hate Tang Yin to the bones? Why did she suddenly decide to join him? How could this be possible? He was at a loss for words. After being stunned for a while, he asked: "Is Master Tang's words true?"
"Of course!" Tang Yin smiled and said: "Just now, both of them were slightly injured, and are currently resting in the backyard. If Brother Shangguan does not believe me, you can take a look yourself!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, and that there was no need for him to lie to himself, Shangguan Yuanji subconsciously stood up and asked: "But … "Can I?"
"Of course you can!" Tang Yin also stood up, and laughed: "Brother Shangguan, please follow me!" As he spoke, he walked towards the back door at the end of the living room.
Shangguan Yuanji hurried to catch up. Along the way, his heart was in turmoil, but he could not figure out how his two brothers could change so fast and so big.
Tang Yin led the way and brought Shangguan Yuanji to the County Magistrate Mansion's backyard. After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a room's door and knocked twice. Not long later, the door opened and a middle-aged man in a long green robe opened the door.
This was the military doctor who treated the Brother Shangguan's eyes. Upon seeing Tang Yin, the military doctor quickly bowed and greeted respectfully, "Master Tang!"
Tang Yin nodded his head, then looked at Brother Shangguan who was lying on the bed and asked: "How are their eyes?"
"It's nothing serious. I just got smoked. I just need to rest for a few days to recover." The military doctor spoke the truth.
"Hm!" "Very good." After Tang Yin heard this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and brought Shangguan Yuanji into the room.
After entering the room, he saw the two brothers who were still wearing their bandages, Shangguan Yuanji hurriedly walked forward and called out with concern: "Yuanwu, Yuanbiao!"
"Big Brother, you … "Why are you here?" Indeed, the two Shangguan brothers were not injured, it was just that their eyes had been damaged by the smoke. Now that they had applied the medicine on them, the pain was no longer as painful as before. Suddenly hearing Shangguan Yuanji's voice, the two brothers were surprised.
Hearing their confident voices, Shangguan Yuanji knew that the two of them were fine. Furthermore, the Military Physician said that the two of them did not have heavy eye injuries, so his heart dropped.
After his anxious mood had been soothed, his anger immediately flared up. He shouted angrily, "Why am I here? Do we have the nerve to ask? In the past, it was fine if you guys acted unruly, but now, you became even fiercer. You actually dared to try and assassinate Master Tang, you … "You guys …"
The more Shangguan Yuanji said, the angrier he got, and he didn't know what he should scold the two brothers for.
Shangguan Yuanbiao laughed, although he could not see with his eyes, it was not hard to guess his brother's angry look. With a mischievous smile, he said, "Big Brother, don't be angry. Third Brother and I only misunderstood you. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we have decided to follow you around."
Shangguan Yuanwu continued: "Big brother, I think you shouldn't be such a rich person. You should just rely on Master, this way, us brothers can be together again, and take care of each other."
"Huh?" Shangguan Yuanji was unable to react at all. The two brothers who hated Tang Yin the most, were now pulling him over to rely on Tang Yin instead. He was so angry that it was funny, he even suspected that Tang Yin had drugged the two of them.
Just as he was at a loss as to how to react, Tang Yin, who was behind him, walked over and forced a smile on his face. "Brother Shangguan, what Yuanwu and Yuanbiao said is true, I wonder what you think?"
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and laughed bitterly, could he still say no? Since Tang Yin had the power to tame his two rebellious brothers, perhaps he would really be able to accomplish a lot by helping him.
Thinking about this, he turned around, cupped his hands, and said: "This subordinate, Shangguan Yuanji, is willing to accept Master's invitation.
When he said that, everyone's spirits were lifted, especially Tang Yin. Without even thinking, he stepped forward and held Shangguan Yuanji's arm, and said with a smile plastered all over his face: "With Yuanji to help me, I will have no worries later on!"
In the end, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao had become Tang Yin's closest and most loyal bodyguards and generals. In the future, they would follow him to the left, right, south, and north, and make countless meritorious military service. Shangguan Yuanji, on the other hand, had become Tang Yin's internal support, providing him with a firm backing in his war against the world.
Meeting Qiu Zhen could be said to be a turning point in Tang Yin's fate, and taming Shangguan Yuanji was another turning point. It was only at this time that the core structure of Tang Yin's body began to take shape.
There was Shangguan Yuanji inside, and outside there was Qiu Zhen. These two people could be said to be the two most important people to Tang Yin in the early stages of his life.
In the next few days, the Pingyuan County were all at peace, the banditry was greatly reduced because of Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao's safety, and the nation-facing Morfeas Confederacy did not send any troops to harass them. This provided Tang Yin with a rare opportunity to train his troops.
The benefits of Shangguan Yuanji's surrender were quickly revealed, not only were the internal affairs of his Pingyuan County tidied up, it was also much easier for him to recruit new soldiers. Shangguan Yuanji had a very high prestige in the Pingyuan County, even he was willing to submit to Tang Yin. The ordinary citizens all had a foundation in their hearts, and were willing to join the military.
Following the influx of new recruits, the three divisions of Pingyuan County became busier and busier, and very quickly, all three divisions had their numbers replenished, so there were still some new recruits left. At this time, Tang Yin started to consider adding two more divisions.
And it was also at this time that he received the reply to his memorial for Yan City. Feng King Zhan Hua approved of his proposal, and accepted that Tang Yin should set up five legions under the Pingyuan County.
Tang Yin never expected that someone from the Yan City would come, and what Zhan Hua wanted to do was just exactly what he wanted.
Accompanying Zhan Hua's orders was Wu Mei's letter.
The reason was very simple. Tang Yin had been raised by his Wu Family, and the more divisions he controlled, the more divisions he would have under his control. Of course, the fact that Feng King Zhan Hua could approve Tang Yin's memorial so quickly was related to Wu Yu's great recommendation.
Wu Mei was also very happy about this matter, but she had a different opinion from Wu Yu. She felt that with the increase in their Pingyuan County, Tang Yin's situation would naturally be safer. In the letter, she kept asking Tang Yin about his situation and how he had gotten used to it after reaching the Pingyuan County.
Tang Yin read through the letter once through from beginning to end and wrote Wu Mei a reply. The contents of the letter were all a bunch of irrelevant things, telling him that Wu Mei need not worry about herself, that he would be cautious and so on.
In addition, he also wrote a letter to Deng Mingyang, asking him about the recent situation in the capital.
After obtaining the Feng King's music, Tang Yin's expansion became even more grand.
He had newly established the fourth and fifth squads of Pingyuan County. The captain of the fourth squadron was named Gu Yue, the vice-captain was Chen Fang, the captain of the Fifth Regiment was Li Wei, and the vice captain was Liu Zhong Sheng. Although the two squadrons were not well-organized for the time being, their combined forces numbered close to ten thousand people, which was a force to be reckoned with.
A month of busy time passed.
On this day, Tang Yin had just woken up when he heard someone knocking on his door.
"Recently!"
The door opened and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.
He was originally a veteran in the army, a Division Chief of the first formation of First Regiment, a native of the Pingyuan County. His family had long since died under the hoof of the Savage Soldier, although he was over forty years old, he was still a lone man, and although he was old, he was originally old enough to leave the army, but as he had nowhere to go and remained in the army, Tang Yin unintentionally found him. After asking around, he invited him to be his house's butler.
Tang Zhong was a Head Officer, so he was very good at being a housekeeper. In addition, he came from the army, so his character was honest and loyal. Tang Yin trusted him a lot, so he took care of the major affairs of County Magistrate Mansion by himself.
"What's the matter?" Tang Yin asked.
"Sir, Sir Shangguan requests an audience!" Tang Zhong first gave a deep bow, then softly said.
"Oh?" Tang Yin laughed, maybe because of the busy nature of government, Shangguan Yuanji rarely took the initiative to look for him. He said, "I'll ask him to wait for me in the living room for a while!"
"Yes, milord." Tang Zhong replied and turned around to leave.
Tang Yin did not make Shangguan Yuanji wait for long. After the latter sat in the hall and drank two mouthfuls of tea, Tang Yin arrived.
"Yuanji, what's the matter?" In this period of time, Tang Yin had a very good impression of Shangguan Yuanji's ability and was very amiable towards him.
"My lord!" Seeing Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanji immediately put down his teacup, stood up and cupped his hands in greeting, then said seriously: "I heard that the army is missing a war horse, is this true?"
Tang Yin sat in the middle and nodded: "Indeed so!"
There was no cavalry unit in the Pingyuan County, so the war horses were lacking, and Tang Yin wanted to build a army, war horses were indeed a problem.
He rolled his eyes, changed the topic, laughed and asked: "Does Yuanji have a way to get a war horse?"
Shangguan Yuanji praised Tang Yin's nimble reaction, he nodded and said: "I have dealings with many merchants, many of which are horse merchants, buying a batch of horses is not a difficult task. I just want to know, what does Master want to do with these horses?"
Tang Yin said: "Of course to fight with Savage Soldier!"
Shangguan Yuanji nodded his head, he had already expected this answer, and smiled slightly, then said: "The Savage Soldier is a bold and sturdy war horse, while my Feng Country's speed is not fast, and is not strong yet. Even if we form our Cavalry, I think that in battle with the Savage Soldier, we will not be able to play much of a role, and would waste our own money!"
"Oh?" This was something that Tang Yin did not think about. He thoughtfully lowered his head and carefully considered his words. After pausing for a moment, he asked: "What do you think, Yuanji? Do we not want the cavalry? "
