After Tang Yin finished speaking, all the generals of the Ba Pass were dumbfounded. No one said anything, even Ying Bu. Tang Yin looked at Ying Bu, and asked: "General Ying Bu, what do you think?"
If he could bring his family over, of course Ying Bu would raise both hands in support of it. The reason why the soldiers wanted to return to the Yan City was mainly to reunite with their families, but he did not know what Tang Yin's intentions were. Ying Bu muttered to himself for a moment, then revealed a troubled expression while probing, "Oh … My lord, by doing this... "It doesn't seem to follow the rules …"
Tang Yin laughed, and waved his hand: "The rules are set by the people, of course you can change it. I just want to know what your opinion is on my proposal. "
"This …" Ying Bu turned to look at the generals under his command, who were looking at him with eager eyes. He stood up, walked around the table, and arrived in front of Tang Yin, kneeling down on one knee, he cupped his hands and said: "My Ba Pass warriors, I dream of reuniting with my family, if Your Excellency is able to sway the imperial government and agree to this matter, then Your Excellency is the benefactor of my Ba Pass warriors, I will never forget your kindness."
Following Ying Bu's words, all the other generals of Ba Pass walked out one after another. They did not speak, but silently walked behind Ying Bu, and clasped their hands while kneeling.
From the looks of it, Tang Yin really had the intention to facilitate this matter, and what was wrong with that, the Ba Pass was no ordinary city, not only was it high above the heavens, the position was extremely important, if the families of the city guards were to send over, they would no longer have any concerns, what if something were to happen?
It was just that these kind of words could not be spoken publicly, so Zi Ying could only stand to the side and do nothing. Wu Mei, who was sitting beside Tang Yin, also sensed that something was amiss. She quietly extended his hand out and pulled on Tang Yin's clothes, hinting him to think twice before acting rashly. Tang Yin did not bother with her. He stood up and walked over to Ying Bu, then said: "Generals, what are you doing? "Hurry, wake up!" While speaking, he carried Ying Bu and waved to the generals, signaling them to stand up.
Everyone kneeled on the ground without moving, raised their heads, looked at Tang Yin, and spoke at once: "Master, if our families can really receive Ba Pass, then we can even work at it for our entire lives!"
"That's right!" For Master to trust us so much in Ba Pass soldiers, it will not be too late for us to go through fire and water for Milord! "
"Milord …"
If you want Ying Bu and the others to wholeheartedly stay in the Ba Pass, to guard the southern gate of the Feng Country, you have to make them have no regrets and leave their families behind as hostages. This point, no matter what the results are, in Tang Yin's opinion, is too ungrateful, to have Ying Bu and the soldiers be loyal to you, using such forced methods is still far from enough.
Tang Yin walked forward, and pulled everyone up, and said with a stern expression: "Brothers, don't worry, since I have already spoken, I will definitely keep my word. Not only that, I will also arrange a special area for the towns near the Ba Pass to accommodate your families, and in the future, if any of you want to leave the Ba Pass, you will reunite with your families, and you don't have to go back to the imperial government. You only need General Ying Bu's approval."
"Thank you, my lord!" Thank you, my lord!
What Tang Yin had said was something that the soldiers of the Ba Pass did not even dare to think about in the past. But now, with just a few words, Tang Yin had solved the matter that had given them the most headache. Although Tang Yin was only a County Head, everyone understood the situation. He had control of the entire imperial government, and his opinions represented the imperial government's opinions.
The generals were happy, Ying Bu was also happy and surprised, laughing until his mouth couldn't close.
Tang Yin looked around the hall, then smiled at Ying Bu: "The Ba Pass level is not small, in the future General Ying Bu will bring your family members to live in the house!"
Ying Bu was startled, Tang Yin had said that he could have the Ba Pass soldiers take over the family members, he thought that would not include him, since he was the general of the Ba Pass after all, and his identity was special, but he did not expect Tang Yin to include him in the group. After being stunned for a few seconds, his chest was filled with surprise and joy. His eyes were shining and he nodded towards Tang Yin, his lips trembling, he was so excited that he could not say a word.
This meal was just plain plain food, not much different from the meal that Ba Pass used to have, but the generals of Ba Pass felt that this was the most delicious meal they had ever had in their lives.
After the meal, Tang Yin left the city to inspect the Heavenly Eagle Army's encampment, Zi Ying and the others followed behind him.
Once he was out of the General's Mansion, seeing that there were no generals or guards of the Ba Pass Army on his left and right, Zi Ying quickly walked to Tang Yin's side and said in a low voice: "The promise you made earlier in the General's Mansion was really too hasty!"
"Exactly!" At this time, Wu Mei also let out a dissatisfied sound, and muttered: "Get Ba Pass Army to bring all of the family members over to Ba Pass, once something changes, the capital doesn't even have any methods to restrain them."
Tang Yin looked at Zi Ying, and then looked at Wu Mei, and said indifferently: "My principle is to not doubt others, and do not doubt others. Since I continue to leave Ying Bu at the Ba Pass as the main general, I will trust his loyalty, and this will be the same as me trusting all of you. "
These words caused Zi Ying's heart to tremble. She did not dare say another sentence. Wu Mei, on the other hand, did not care at all. She pouted and said, "Ying Bu and I can't be compared in the same breath." As she spoke, she even rolled her eyes at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shook his head and laughed, he did not say anymore. In his opinion, as long as Sky Eye and Earth Web's spies were to be planted in the Ba Pass in the future, he would be able to grasp it as soon as there were wind and grass rustling sounds.
He said that his principle was to use people without a doubt, but in fact, his doubts were the most serious.
After resting in the Ba Pass for an entire day and night, on the next day, Sky Eye and the Earth Web obtained accurate information, confirming that Zhong Tian and the Zhan Clan Brothers had escaped into the Gaochuan County, and reunited with County Head Xiao Shang, who was in the Gaochuan County.
After hearing the reports from Le Tian and Ai Jia, Tang Yin sneered, even if Zhong Tian didn't head towards the Gaochuan County area, he still had to send troops there to suppress them. Right now, he could kill two birds with one stone, exterminating both Zhong Tian and Xiao Shang with one arrow. He immediately ordered the entire army to set up camp, leave the Ba Pass s, and head towards the northeast.
After finding out that Tang Yin was about to start a battle for Gaochuan County, Ying Bu and all the other generals of Ba Pass had come to send him off, and right now, everyone was even more respectful towards Tang Yin as they were still faintly unwilling to see him off. Tang Yin and Ying Bu exited the city side by side, and the latter sighed: "If it wasn't because I was afraid something would happen to Ba Pass, I really want to go with Master!"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "For General Ying Bu to be able to properly guard the Ba Pass and lessen my worries, it is equivalent to helping me out a lot."
"My lord, please be courteous." To guard the Ba Pass well is the duty of this lowly general. " Pausing for a moment, Ying Bu continued to speak with concern: "Master, although Gaochuan County only has two counties, three cities, and four towns, the environment is extremely dangerous, and is mostly mountainous. Master, you must not let down your guard this time around, you must be extra careful!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, he was not really familiar with the situation with the Gaochuan County, after listening to Ying Bu's words, his heart moved, and became more vigilant.
Just as Ying Bu had said, the terrain of the Gaochuan County was indeed steep and dangerous. High mountains could be seen everywhere, and the entire county was constructed within mountains. When they were heading towards the Gaochuan County, they could still see the plains at the beginning, but the closer they were to the Gaochuan County, the harder it was to walk on the road, and the narrower the official road became.
On this day, Tang Yin and his men finally entered the boundaries of Gaochuan County. As of now, there were only mountains in front of them, and even the official road had become a ring shaped mountain road. On one side was a bare cliff, and on the other side was an unfathomable deep cliff.
He never thought that the environment of the Gaochuan County would be so dangerous. Fortunately, there were not many enemies, otherwise, with such a dangerous terrain as a barrier, it would be difficult to attack even with the Chiliarch s and horses. Just as he was about to order his troops to keep advancing, Zi Ying caught up from behind and stopped Tang Yin.
Tang Yin frowned and looked at Zi Ying in puzzlement.
Zi Ying said with a serious expression: "Master, the mountain ahead is called Gui Jiu, do you know why Master has such a name?"
"Why?" Tang Yin asked.
This mountain is too dangerous. It's like going straight up and down. The official road is close to the foot of the mountain, and the road is abnormally narrow. Zi Ying explained.
"So what was it?!"
Tang Yin nodded his head, and praised: "General Zi Ying is truly a live map of my Feng Country, with you by my side, it will save me a lot of trouble." With that, his eyes turned, and he shouted: "Le Tian, Ai Jia!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Hearing Tang Yin's summons, Le Yan and Ai Wen anxiously rushed forward and interfered with the greeting.
Tang Yin pointed to the mountain in front of them and ordered: "Immediately send our brothers with strong abilities to climb to the top of the mountain to check if there are any enemies ambushing the mountain."
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Le Tian and Ai Jia agreed and took their orders to leave together.
While Sky Eye and Earth Web were scouting around, Tang Yin ordered the entire army to rest in place, and only advanced after the news was sent back.
Following Tang Yin's orders, the Tianyuan Army soldiers either dismounted from their horses to feed or gathered in groups of three or five to chat.
As for Le Tian and Ai Jia, the two of them had found ten scouts who were good at climbing the mountain from their subordinates, and had them head towards the direction of 'Gui Jiu', in order to investigate the situation on the mountain. "Yes," the ten scouts said, and prepared the necessary tools to climb the mountain.
Reaching the foot of the mountain, the ten people looked up and gasped. When they looked from a distance, they already felt that the mountain was tall and steep. Now that they were closer and closer to it, they felt as if the mountain had been split apart by a giant axe. The cliff wall was steep and smooth, and since this was the underworld and the cliff was covered with moss, it was even more difficult to climb.
