Tang Yin treated everyone who came with courtesy, and the people who were originally cautious also calmed down. They sat on the seats and continuously toasted Tang Yin.

After Tang Yin drank a few cups of wine, he put down the cup and looked around at everyone, clearing his throat.

Knowing that he had something to say, everyone stopped talking and turned to look at him. Tang Yin smiled in satisfaction and said: "I am a County Head of the Feng Country, and also loyal to the Former King. Zhong Tian killing kings and usurping your position, in my opinion, is a great sin that deserves to die a thousand deaths.

Not to mention that everyone had long hated and despised what Zhong Tian had done, even if they found him pleasing to the eye, they wouldn't dare to speak out in front of Tang Yin. Hearing his words, everyone cupped their hands together and said, "Master Tang, Zhong Tian has killed the ruler and betrayed the nation, he indeed deserves the death of the heavens and the destruction of the earth!"

Tang Yin nodded his head, and laughed: "Since Zhong Tian took over the position, the citizens of Lehu County have suffered greatly, and all of your lives must not be too good, but now it's better, the Lehu County has been restored by my Tianyuan Army, and everything will be restored to its original form, so all of you don't have to live life in fear anymore."

These words were said to the heart of everyone. When Geng Qiang was controlling the Lehu County, almost no one dared to speak, as they were afraid that if anything went wrong, they would be captured by the officials and killed secretly. When Tang Yin had finished speaking, many people had already left their seats and knelt down, exclaiming: "Great gale has a loyal subject like Master Tang, it's really my blessings of the great wind, the blessings of the common people in Feng Country!"

Tang Yin laughed leisurely, and was about to speak, but at this time, Qiu Zhen, who was sitting to his left, gave him many meaningful glances, and occasionally shot arrows at the people who were kneeling down. Tang Yin was clever, and immediately understood what Qiu Zhen meant. He stood up, walked to the front of the group and extended his hand out, politely helping everyone up, and said seriously: "This country is in a difficult situation, anyone who has a conscience and has yet to die should contribute a part of the nation. Even though I am not talented, I am unable to sit idly and watch the country perish. An evil man leads the way, and the common people get burned to ashes. Even if my body is smashed to pieces and horse skin wrapped up my corpse, I will still repay the kindness of the Former King and do my best to help me. "

What he said was so grand that it caused everyone to feel both admiration, excitement, and shame. Even Qiu Zhen was shocked, he never thought that Tang Yin would be able to say such generous words. He indicated for the army main book to record Tang Yin's words. In the future, it could be used as a book to conquer the world.

"My lord is truly a pillar of the Windy!" The people who were originally helped up by Tang Yin had all knelt down one after another.

Tang Yin snickered in his heart, he had heard too many of these fake words in the modern world, so it was rather easy for him to explain them now. He smiled slightly and said: "Most of my Tianyuan Army warriors are volunteers who have come from the various counties. Since I have been indebted to the people, I naturally should return the favor to the people. In these few days, my Xibai City suffered from the hardships of war, so I decided to ask for two taels of silver from every family in the city. If there are any casualties in the war, I will give ten of silver from each family! "

This policy was nothing for those famous families, but it made the people with high reputations extremely excited. It was undoubtedly a heavenly happy news, since the day Zhong Tian took over the throne, the citizens of Xibai City suffered greatly, and lived a miserable life, where the citizens did not live comfortably, and if every family could get two taels of silver, then that would solve the big problem of a hundred years of living.

"Master is wise! I thank my lord on behalf of the people of the city! " The few elders in the crowd knelt down and kowtowed again and again.

The people did not care who ruled them. As long as they could feed themselves and live a peaceful life, they would be satisfied. Whether the ruler was good or bad, good or bad, it did not matter.

The policy of Tang Yin opening the treasury and releasing the silver was not his own intention, but Qiu Zhen's intention.

In the battle of Xibai City, there were many deaths and injuries, and the reduction of troop strength was too severe. Many divisions were already incomplete, and needed to be replenished in a short period of time. How? Of course, it was best to enlist the citizens of Xibai City into the army and replenish them the fastest. This way, they could save more time to train new recruits.

Very quickly, the news of Tang Yin supplying the entire city with silver spread, and he was indeed free to do so. The amount of silver taken from Xibai City was not much, and they were basically distributed to the citizens of Xibai City.

Of course, the reason why Tianyuan Army was so generous was so that it could serve as a model for the citizens, allowing the citizens of the entire county to know that Tianyuan Army and Zhong Tian were different, that they were a military force that could truly be considered by the citizens, and secondly, and more importantly, that Tianyuan Army was not lacking in money right now, that it only lacked military rations. With the current revenue, just the tax on a county of Tianyuan County would be enough to settle most of the military payments.

This greatly increased Tianyuan Army's reputation. Not only did it return to the grand occasion of the Feng Country, it also caused the number of citizens who came to join the army to rise sharply, as if there was an endless stream of them every day.

At the moment, although Zhong Tian was the Sovereign King of Peng Country, and looked like he was going to use the entire nation's power to handle Tianyuan Army, the reality was the complete opposite. Merely in terms of the most important military force in the war, Zhong Tian had already lost miserably. In terms of recovery from battle, the speed of his Tianyuan Army had far surpassed that of Zhong Tian's forces.

The main force of Tianyuan Army was resting and rearranging themselves, Tang Yin also obtained a rare period of leisure. Now that the issue of the provisions had been resolved, it was as if a huge boulder had been removed from his body, and he felt much more at ease.

On this day, Tang Yin was taking a walk in the courtyard of the County Head Palace, and also took the chance to visit Geng Qiang's residence. Although Geng Qiang was a tyrannical person, and ruled the Lehu County with his iron blooded wrist, he still considered to be a clean and honest person, and the County Head Palace's decorations were not very luxurious, what surprised Tang Yin the most was that the Palace's Silver Bank did not have much gold, silver and jewelry, but rather a lot of rations. It could be seen that Geng Qiang was not a greedy person. It was a pity that he was too loyal to Zhong Tian.

When Tang Yin went to the front yard, he discovered Qiu Zhen playing chess with him. Zong Yuan stood by the side and watched with a smile. Tang Yin walked over, and looked down at the chess board, but didn't understand. did not understand anything related to zither, chess, calligraphy and painting at all. Furthermore, Qiu Zhen and the others played Wind Chess, and had complicated rules.

Seeing that Tang Yin had arrived, Qiu Zhen and the other two anxiously stood up and greeted him. Tang Yin waved his hand and laughed: "You guys continue playing chess, don't worry about me!"

Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe responded as they sat back down on the stone bench. While playing chess, Qiu Zhen asked: "Master, what do you plan to do next?"

"When the training for the new recruits are almost done, we will continue our journey south, capture the Yan City, and completely destroy Zhong Tian's forces!" Tang Yin said confidently. Right now, he was confident that there would be people with Tianyuan Army. He had to have money, food and food, and he did not lack anything.

Qiu Zhen laughed and shook his head, throwing the chess piece in his hand onto the table, raising his eyes to look at Tang Yin, and said: "Master, I feel that now is not the time to attack Yan City!"

"Oh?" When he said that, Tang Yin was startled, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan also looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Qiu Zhen said with a stern expression: "It's easy for Master to take over the Yan City, but if you want to completely destroy Zhong Tian's forces and Ning Country army, it's a little difficult!"

"What do you mean?"

"The Yan City is too big, with our army's strength, it's difficult to encircle the Yan City, we can only forcefully attack one side, if the battle is not good, when Zhong Tian suddenly escapes, Master wants to capture him, it would be as difficult as ascending to the sky!"

Oh? Tang Yin took a deep breath, he pondered for a moment, then laughed: "Where can Zhong Tian escape to? Four counties to the north of Yan City is already under the control of our army. Although there are two counties to the east of Yan City, it is a land of death, and if we head east, it will be the ocean. There are three commons to the west of Yan City, but there is only a dead end as long as Liang Qi and Yuan Yuan can block the path, and we can cut off the road to Ning Country. Speaking of the road, Tang Yin frowned, and remained silent.

Qiu Zhen continued his words, "South of the Yan City, there are four counties. Although they may not be loyal to Zhong Tian, the County Head s of the four counties have never clearly expressed their opposition to Zhong Tian. If Master does not continue his pursuit from the south, it is very possible that Zhong Tian will follow Ning Jun all the way down to the Mo Country and escape. At that time, will Master still be able to command the general army to enter the Mo Country to chase after him? "

Hearing this, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan nodded their heads, secretly praising Qiu Zhen's foresight. That's right! Once Zhong Tian and Ning Jun escaped towards the south, what would they do if they entered the Mo Country? Mo Country was a nation that was equivalent to the strength of Ning Country. Rashly leading an army into the Mo Country would definitely trigger a state war, and this was something that their side definitely could not afford.

Qiu Zhen said faintly: "Ning Mo has always been on good terms with him. If Ning Junzhen were to bring Zhong Tian to flee towards the Mo Country, the Mo Country will definitely take them in. If Zhong Tian were to travel from the Mo Country to the Ning Country, it would be impossible to capture him again.

Tang Yin's eyes turned, he slowly nodded and asked: "Master Qiu, in your opinion, what should I do?"

Qiu Zhen replied with a question: "Where is the path that I must take to get to the Mo Country?"

"Ba Pass?"

"That's right, Ba Pass! As long as our army can control the Ba Pass, we can break the passage to the Mo Country. If I remember correctly, Master Ying Bu has a good relationship with General, for now, Master should rope him to us as soon as possible! "

"Yes!" Tang Yin and Ying Bu had only met once, but the two of them knew each other well, and understood each other well. Furthermore, with regards to Tang Yin buying the horses and soldiers from Mo Country, Ying Bu had also helped him a lot. Pulling Ying Bu over to his side shouldn't be a problem for Tang Yin.

He nodded and muttered: "The chances of winning Ying Bu over to our side is quite high."

"But that's not enough!" Qiu Zhen added. "My lord, there is one thing that I must do, and it must be done safely!"
