Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanyang aside. Late that night, the two of them led the fifty thousand Directly Subordinate Army s to quietly leave their own campsite. With the Sky Eye and Earth Web's scout horses leading the way, they quickly headed towards the Jinhua City s.

Jinhua City was located on a major road, at a three-way intersection. Three main roads converged here, one facing a mountain, the other facing a bog in a forest. If one didn't go through Jinhua City, one would have to take a detour to get to Guannan County.

In order to rush to the Jinhua City ahead of the Ning army, Tang Yin did not have the time to hide anything, he marched day and night, travelling at the same time. The Jinguang County had long been changed into the symbol of the Peng Country, and the soldiers had already been changed into red uniforms. Tang Yin's tens of thousands of Feng Army had penetrated deep into the heart of the Jinguang County, causing a huge disturbance, but there were no longer any soldiers available to use the Jinguang County, which gave Tang Yin great convenience. Not only were there no obstructions on the way, the cities he passed by all had Mayor taking the lead to surrender, and they were all cleared through the city without any effort.

After travelling for three days, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuan had their men arrive at the Jinhua City.

When the Mayor with Jinhua City heard that a large number of Feng Army s had arrived outside the city, he was stupefied as there was a sea of people and no boundaries. He did not know how the Tianyuan County s had gotten here, but he understood that with Golden Light City's current number of less than a thousand soldiers, they would not be able to stop the enemy no matter what.

Without even thinking about it, he did not bother speaking to the servants anymore, he cleaned up the house and left with his family. The Mayor was gone, and the soldiers below were not going to guard the city at all, instead, they led the officials in the city and opened up the city gates, surrendering their weapons to Tang Yin and the rest.

After looking at the officials of Golden Light City, Tang Yin didn't even bother to collect his weapons. Most of them were old, weak, and handicapped, looking listless and without fighting spirit, they were not even a threat to his side. He commanded the army and entered Goldlight City as if there were no one else present.

Hearing that the Mayor had run away, Tang Yin snorted in his heart. He ordered his soldiers to bring the officials of the Golden Light City over.

These officials did not know what Tang Yin was trying to do. They were all on tenterhooks, their legs trembling uncontrollably. All of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Tang Yin directly.

Tang Yin looked at everyone and asked: "Do you all know who I am?"

All the officials looked at each other, and in the end, their eyes landed on Tang Yin's face and they slowly shook their heads. In their opinion, even though the general in front of them was dressed in luxurious clothing, and had steel armor on top of his body, he was still young and didn't look very tall and sturdy.

Tang Yin smiled indifferently, and said: "I am Tang Yin!"

Ah? Hearing the two words Tang Yin, the officials were all shocked, and did not dare believe that what he said was true. Tang Yin was the County Magistrate of Tianyuan County, he was the first person to oppose Zhong Tian, wasn't he fighting with Zhong Wen? Why did he suddenly reach Jinhua City? This was too illogical.

Seeing what everyone was thinking, Tang Yin retracted his smile, his eyes were like lightning, coldly sweeping over them and said: "I am here for my purpose for coming. What, you are just officials of a city, can you not even greet County Head? "

Hearing this, everyone was frightened, they hurriedly knelt down, cupped their hands, and respectfully said, "This official greets County Head!"

"Humph!" Tang Yin smirked and said, "I don't dare to believe that! You are officials of the Peng Country, and I am a County Head of the Feng Country. Different nations also have different subjects.

All the officials trembled as they kowtowed and said, "Master Tang, this lowly official has no choice but to accept the position of Peng Country! Even the County Head bowed down in respect of Zhong Tian. As the official of the city, I can't think of any way to save you all! "

However, they also had to support their family. If they did not accept, if the light ones were removed, the heavy ones would be severely punished, and they might even be dragged into the family. So, even if they had a reputation to scold, even if the citizens were to poke them in the back, they would still have to bite the bullet.

Tang Yin looked at the city officials who had sorrowful expressions on their faces, he nodded and said: "I will not ask about your past actions, but since I have now come to Jinhua City, then this place will be a city with strong winds, do you have any objections?"

"No!" This official has not! " Everyone said in unison.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "If any of you are inclined towards Peng Country, just say it out now. Not only will I not make things difficult for you, I will even let you and your family leave." While he was talking, his eyes swept across everyone's faces. He didn't let any of their expressions go. At the same time, he asked, "Hmm?" He made a sound.

After hearing Tang Yin's words, everyone was stunned, they anxiously kowtowed again and said with a trembling voice: "I only hope to recover my Great Feng Country, how can I continue to be a Peng Officer?! Master will kill us all!"

Hm! Tang Yin secretly nodded. If he wanted to resist the Ning Country army, he would need to borrow the strength of the citizens. If he wanted them to help, he would need the assistance of these local officials, so Tang Yin had to be sure whether they were loyal to Feng or Peng.

Seeing that everyone was sincere and determined, Tang Yin relaxed. He waved his hand and said, "Sirs, please rise!"

"Yes!" Master Tang! " Everyone swallowed their saliva and got up from the ground.

Tang Yin said with a serious expression: "My Tianyuan Army's main force is currently fighting against a Central Army led by a vile subject like Zhong Wen. I am bringing my masses here to Jinhua City for another purpose."

The Vice Mayor of Jinhua City, Deng Xuan cupped her hands and asked: "I don't know … What is your purpose, my lord? Whether or not I can report it. "

Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and bluntly said: "In order to stop the army from heading north."

"Huh?" Deng Xuan and the surrounding officials were shocked and couldn't help grinning inwardly. Deng Xuan said: "According to what I know, there are four hundred thousand people in the Ning Army. Moreover, they are commanded by the two brothers, Chief General and Zhan Wudi …"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted and said: "The enemy's army is dominating in my territory, they are free to come and go, don't you think that as a wind person you should blush? "So what if it's four hundred thousand soldiers? In my eyes, it's nothing more than a blade of grass."

His words made everyone's faces turn red, and they all lowered their heads.

Tang Yin continued, "Now that our nation is in danger, all those who know should work together with me to defend against our enemies. If we win this battle, then the day of recovery will be just around the corner. If we cannot win this battle, then our lives will be small, and our Feng Country will never be peaceful again. My lords, do you wish to be a loyal soldier that will forever be remembered, or a lackey that will make a living, you can choose for yourselves! "

With that said, Tang Yin turned around and no longer looked at them.

All the officials were in a complex mood. In a life or death situation, it was difficult to make a decision no matter who was in charge. After a while, Deng Xuan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He kneeled down again and said loudly, "I am willing to assist you in defending against the army. I will not refuse no matter what!"

With him taking the lead to express his stance, the other officials all calmed down and kneeled down. They all said in unison, "We are willing to work with sire to resist the Ning Army!"

"Alright!" Hearing that, Tang Yin immediately turned, he walked forward and supported everyone up, and said with a smile: "Masters, you are truly worthy of being my Feng Country's people! With your help, the result will be twice the result with half the effort. It is enough to defend against the great army of Ning Country. "

"Master, if there's anything you need us to do, feel free to tell us!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How are the city's defenses right now?"

"There are no defensive facilities on the city walls. They are all stored in the treasury," Deng Xuan said hastily.

Tang Yin thought for a while, then said: "Mayor Deng, there is indeed something I need your help with."

"What does my lord want me to do?"

"First of all, seal off the entire city. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city on their own. Those who dare to disobey will be executed without mercy."

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

"Also, organize the entire city to move all the military equipment and supplies that are stored in the military warehouse to the top of the city."

"Yes sir!"

"Also, immediately send people to the villages around Jinhua City to collect more food, and collect as much as you can. It is our army's hoarding, and if anyone does not hand it over, you can forcefully seize it. When the soldiers retreat, I will repay them several fold!"

"Understood!"

Tang Yin continuously passed down orders, all the preparations were made for what he could think of. After that, Deng Xuan and the others followed one another and followed Tang Yin's orders, going through each step according to Tang Yin's wishes. Tang Yin's consideration was not wrong, with the help of these local officials, doing things half the way was twice the result. When the citizens of the Jinhua heard that it was to help defend the Feng Army against the army, they did not need to be mobilized much, and everyone came out to help spontaneously. The men helped to transport the supplies, and the women helped to cook.

With the help of the local citizens, Tang Yin had helped greatly. He had led fifty thousand soldiers on a overnight journey, and was completely exhausted. It was the right time for him to grab some time to rest and replenish his strength, so he could prepare for the arrival of the Ning Army.

They only knew that Zhong Wen was in confrontation with the main force of the Tianyuan army, so they were in no hurry to travel. They wanted to let Zhong Wen consume more of the Tianyuan army's strength, so they thought this way, the army of four hundred thousand was moving slowly, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers below was not strong. The entire army did not seem like they were going to war, but more like they were going to the Golden Light County to have some fun.

Tang Yin and the others stayed in Jinhua City to prepare for two whole days. Only then did Ning Jun received the news, saying that the main force of Tianyuan Army had suddenly gone south, and had now occupied the Jinhua City. When the Ning Jun Generals heard the news, he did not believe it. The Tianyuan Army was clearly battling with Zhong Wen at the border of two counties, how could they have suddenly come to the Jinhua City?

This news was most likely false.

After obtaining the sound of the wind, the Ning army still unhurriedly marched forward, and only on the fourth day did they arrive within the borders of the Jinhua City.
