V2.Chapter 48

"Get up!" Tang Yin put down the book in his hand and put his hand at will.

"Thank you, king." Zhang Xin got up, stood upright with his hands down and stood aside.

Tang Yin glanced at Zhang Xin and waved, "what are you doing there? Sit down and talk."

"Yes!" Zhang Xin answered and sat down across Tang Yin's desk.

Tang Yin couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was stiff and sitting in danger. He said, "Zhang Xin, you are my important minister. Don't be so stiff in front of me?"

It's not easy to be an important minister by Tang Yincheng. Zhang Xin was shocked and said, "thank you for your kindness."

Tang Yin shook her head and smiled again. Instead of these useless nonsense, she asked bluntly, "why did you go to the palace and go out of the city to pick me up?"

Zhang Xin said: "Since the King became the king of the wind, he led the gale to win many battles. First, he calmed down the suffering in the north, then recaptured Hedong, and then annexed eight counties of Ningguo, which made our gale dominate the north. No one can compare it. Besides, the king also has the merit of rescuing the king. It is of far-reaching significance to marry Princess besa this time. It is reasonable for heaven to go out of the city to meet him personally, and it can also show heaven's love for the king Respect makes the king famous. "

Tang Yin nodded, then asked with a smile, "then why did you grab a toast from heaven?"

Zhang Xin hurried away from his seat and knelt down again and kowtowed, "please forgive me, king!"

Tang Yinyang said, "get up, I don't blame you."

Zhang Xin got up and said, "the minister * heaven welcomes the king. Heaven must be angry with the king and bear a grudge. The minister is not sure whether heaven will poison the wine and does not directly remind the king, so he can only drink heaven's toast first to test whether the wine is poisonous."

right enough. Tang Yin has guessed Zhang Xin's intention. Probably, Tang Yin is not surprised that he is so now. He asked with a smile, "Zhang Xin, haven't you thought about it? If the wine is poisonous, you won't live if you drink it."

Zhang Xin blushed, looked excited and said, "the wind country can have no ministers, but it must not have a king. The king is a body of ten thousand gold, and the minister is only a rotten life. If you can protect the king's safety with your life, even if you let the minister be crushed to pieces."

Tang Yin was deeply moved by his generous words. Although there may be exaggeration, it is true that Zhang Xin tried wine by himself regardless of personal safety. How can such a person not let Tang Yin trust him and reuse him?

Tang Yin sighed softly and said, "it's your luck this time. Don't take such a risk in the future. I'm not afraid of the poisonous wine. What I'm afraid of is losing my right arm. Do you understand, Zhang Xin?"

Zhang Xin was willing to take such a big risk. What he wanted to change was Tang Yin's words. He knelt down again and choked: "how can you be so kind to the king..."

Tang Yin stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Xin up and said, "I have your loyalty and ability. I regard you as the pillar of the strong wind, and I hope you can do your best in the future."

"Wei Chen is duty bound!" Zhang Xin didn't want to tunnel.

Tang Yin nodded, took Zhang Xin back to the cave, meditated for a moment, and said, "our country is about to send troops to Tiya. I will send a letter to Tongmen tonight and send the Sanshui army stationed in Tongmen to the west of Ningdi."

Zhang Xin said: "our country has now married Bessa. There is no need to worry about it. It is the right time to send troops to Tiya."

"Your method is consistent with Qiu Zhen." Tang Yin said: "when the Sanshui army goes to Tiya to fight, Ningdi has to bear the logistics supply of our army, but Cai song and Zhang Zhe have always been at odds. They often impeach each other. The imperial court needs to send someone to Ningdi to reconcile and take charge of our army logistics. After thinking about it, I still think you are more suitable. Zhang Xin, what do you mean?"

"The king has a life, and the minister will do his best." Zhang Xin arched his hand.

"! I'll leave it to you." Then Tang Yin untied his sword, patted it on the table, pushed it in front of Zhang Xin and said, "you go to Ningdi to collect grain, grass, military pay and materials this time. If anyone dares to make a false promise and perfunctory, you can cut it first and then play it!"

Ah? Hearing this, Zhang Xin couldn't help taking a breath. The authority to cut first and then play is too large and too deterrent. How much trust and attention does it need to enable the monarch to delegate such a large authority? Zhang xinleng was there, blankly holding the sword in front of him. After a while, he came back to his senses. His hands trembled and grasped the sword tightly. He knelt to the ground, held the sword with both hands and held it high. In a trembling voice, "don't worry, king. I'll guarantee the logistics of our soldiers with my head on my head!"

Tang Yin patted him on the shoulder and said, "now, go back and get ready and start."

"Yes! King!"

Zhang Xin kowtowed and exited the study. He almost floated away from the palace all the way. Until he returned to his home, he felt that his body was light and floating, like stepping on a cloud. At this moment, he deeply felt that his adventure today was worth it, and it was very worth it. Until now, the king really trusted and valued him.

Tang Yin sent a letter to Tongmen and sent the Sanshui army stationed in Tongmen to the West.

Having been stationed in Tongmen for such a long time, the Sanshui army with Liang Qi and Shangguan yuanrang as its soldiers has everything ready and is ready to wait. There is nothing to do on weekdays. They train troops every day. Although a large number of soldiers join the Sanshui army, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved through intensive training during this period.

After receiving Tang Yin's order, Liang Qi immediately marched westward without delay. It took only half a month to cross most of Ningdi and enter the former Liangzhou, the capital of Ningdu. Ningguo has been destroyed and Liangzhou is no longer the capital of a country, but it is still an important economic, cultural and political center of Ningdi.

Upon arrival in Liangzhou, Liang Qi ordered the whole army to be stationed outside the city and rest for a few days. After half a month's rapid march, the Sanshui army is also tired up and down. If it doesn't rest, I'm afraid it will disperse before the war.

Zhang Zhe and Cai song in Liangzhou were naturally warmly entertained, especially Cai song, who was afraid of being robbed by Zhang Zhe. They directly sent Liang Qi and shangguanyuan to their home, and then didn't let them leave. They had to stay in his house for everything.

Liang Qi and shangguanyuan made it difficult to give up their hospitality, and Cai song's hospitality was really considerate, so they came down at Cai's house.

Liang Qi also plans to rest in Liangzhou for a few more days, but he hasn't stopped since he came to Cai's house. Every day, there are an endless stream of people coming to see him. Some come to get close, some come to get in touch, and many give gifts for jobs. Liang qicong was used to such a scene and hated it. He led the whole army to continue westward after only two days in Liangzhou.

After passing Liangzhou, the Sanshui army no longer marched in a hurry, but went to the west without delay to maintain the physical strength and combat strength of the whole army.

After marching for more than half a month, the Sanshui army arrived at the western border of Ningdi and went to the city.

The city is located at the junction of Ningdi and tiah, and the territory of tiah is twenty miles west of the city. Because it is adjacent to Tiya, Xingcheng is deeply influenced by Tiya. Even the city pool is a castle like architectural style. The city is full of towers, tall and spectacular. Compared with other Ningdi cities, it is completely an exotic scenery.

In the past, the city was prosperous, and there were a large number of businessmen in TIA in the city. The TIA people living in the city accounted for 20 to 30% of the population of the city. Now the country of Ning was swallowed by the two countries of Feng and Mo. in addition, TIA was invaded by Duji. Most of the TIA people in the city returned to the country, and the prosperity of the city declined a lot.

After the Sanshui army was stationed in Xingcheng, Liang Qi began to actively prepare, create and find excuses for sending troops.

On the other side, Liangzhou, Sanshui army left, and Zhang Xin, appointed by Tang Yin, arrived.

After arriving at Liangzhou, Zhang Xin immediately ordered all counties in Ningdi to deliver grain, grass, gold, silver and materials to Liangzhou. He set corresponding targets for all counties and ordered the counties closer to Liangzhou to deliver them within ten days and the counties farther away from Liangzhou to deliver them on the 20th. Even the counties far away should not take a month.

Next, the grain, grass, gold, silver and materials from Ningdi counties began to flow into Liangzhou. Ten days later, the counties close to Liangzhou completed their tasks as scheduled, but Zhang Xin didn't give up. He drew up a list of officials in these counties, and then ordered the Tianying army left in Liangzhou to arrest these officials immediately with Tang Yin's sword.

There are more than 30 officials involved in his list, and their official positions vary greatly. They are affected from counties to cities. Ying doesn't know what the nerve of Lord Zhang is. However, the king's sword is in his hand, which is no different from the king's personal visit. Ying still arrests all the officials involved in the list according to his intention.

Twenty days later, when the second batch of materials arrived, Zhang Xin still drafted a blacklist, handed it to Ying and continued to arrest. This time, more than 50 officials were arrested. One month later, the third batch of materials was delivered. Zhang Xin still didn't let go of the officials of these counties and counties, and drafted a list of more than 100 officials.

After three arrests, nearly 200 Ningdi officials were captured by Zhang Xin. There was no need to examine them one by one. Zhang Xin closed his eyes and charged these arrested officials with corruption, breaking the law, looting people's money, killing people, doing bad things, and so on.

Although these charges have not been examined, they are one by one. The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Cai songshen, who is in charge of Ningdi, is a huge greedy. Others gave him a heavy gift and bought a post. Naturally, it is to change Gary's corruption and plunder, and earn back the money he sent out ten times and a hundred times.

Who is Zhang Xin? He has become sophisticated. Along the way, he can only judge from the people's conditions of Ningdi. Ningdi's corruption and bribery have been corroded to the bone. He will not miss this unique opportunity to express himself. Therefore, after arriving in Liangzhou, he arrested nearly 200 Ningdi local officials at one go, and all of them were sentenced to death for the charges he added casually.
