V2.Chapter 155

According to the investigation of Tianyan and geonet, Tang Yin has preliminarily mastered the troops of Anqiu. Anqiu is a small county with only two counties and five cities. The main troops are concentrated in Shangwan, the county city. There are about 20000 or 30000 people. The head of the county is named Gao Guan. He has served in Anqiu for more than ten years. Although he has not made much achievements, he has not made any mistakes. He is a regular official.

Tang Yin naturally didn't pay attention to this unknown little man. He had almost rested in Xishan County, so he waved South and went straight to Anqiu.

On the way, Qiu Zhenyou discussed with Tang Yin about Xishan county. He believed that Shaoyu was a minister after all and was not credible for the time being. It was not a long-term strategy to let him hold a heavy army.

Tang Yin accepted Qiu Zhen's opinion, but did not immediately state his position, but asked Cai GUI what his opinion was.

Cai GUI made great contributions to the acceptance of Xishan county. Tang Yin directly promoted him to a senior official of the imperial historian Zhongcheng and the third grade, far better than the three-level promotion promised at the beginning. When Tang Yin asked himself how to deal with Shao Yu, he turned his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "king, in the view of micro ministers, Shao Yu can only be promoted, not reduced, not killed." Cai Guigang has just entered the court of Fengguo, and his foothold is not stable. He urgently needs to find his confidants, and Shaoyu is the best candidate. In addition, he can guess some of Tang Yin's intentions from Tang Yin's deliberately sending more troops to Shaoyu. Guessing people's hearts is Cai GUI's strong point.

Sure enough. Tang Yin laughed and said, "yes, if you want to conquer Mo country, it's not enough to kill blindly. You have to use some gentle means when appropriate. We can make Shaoyu an example."

Qiu Zhen asked curiously, "the king means..."

"The Shaoyu family has been an official in Xishan County for several generations, and their status has long been deeply rooted. Once they dismiss or kill him, the people will be resentful, and Xishan county will be in chaos. If they continue to stay in him, Xishan county is a hidden danger. With Shaoyu's prestige in Xishan county and the help of Fengyang natural danger, there is the possibility of rebellion at any time." Tang Yin narrowed her eyes and said quietly: "So, I mean to promote him. When Shao Jun officially becomes king in Modi, he will be promoted as a general. In this way, I will not doubt my employment and will not fall behind. The most important thing is to transfer all Shao Yu's allies and hundreds of thousands of Xishan troops under his command, and then we will send other confidants to Xishan county to cultivate our loyalty The power of the state! "

i see! The king has already designed it. Qiu Zhen and Cai GUI smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise! In this way, even if Shaojun establishes a new court in Modi, it is just an empty shelf, and all local forces are under the control of your majesty."

"Hum!" Tang Yin sneered and said, "although Shaojun is a fool, he must have the heart to prevent others. If I don't raise him first, how can I feel at ease to let him become king in modi!"

Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly. Since the king had considered it clearly, he would no longer talk about Xishan county. However, Cai GUI's heart was trembling. The longer he worked with Tang Yin, the more he would find that he was much more shrewd and cunning than rumored.

Soon, the army directly under Tang Yin officially entered Anqiu County. Anqiu is a plain area. Unfortunately, the land is poor, water resources are scarce, grain production is not high, and there are no minerals. Among the counties in Mozambique, Anqiu is also the poorest and backward county.

Tang Yin would not have put his energy here if he had not been eager to threaten Surabaya. It is also beneficial to fight a weak county like Anqiu. That is, the progress is extremely smooth. There are not many local armies in Anqiu, and they are concentrated in the county and city. The wind army basically encountered no resistance when advancing. Even the central army of Mozambique sent by Shao Fang did not rush here, but went north to meet Pingyuan army and Huwei army.

On the second day of entering Anqiu, the wind army captured Wanfang city without blood. It is said to be a city, but its prosperity is not as good as that of other towns. The area of the city is not small, but it is difficult to find a decent attic inside. Looking at it, it is full of dilapidated earth houses.

Anqiu's land is barren. Even the climate is not good. There are often strong winds and yellow sand. In Wanfang City, there are also strong winds and dust, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

Without defenders or officials, Tang Yin led the army directly into the city. Due to the strong wind and sand, many wind soldiers lifted the sweat towel at their neck to cover their mouth and nose, leaving only two eyes outside.

The generals of Zhan Peng, ye Tang and Gao Yu around Tang Yin shook their heads as they walked, complaining: "this kind of ghost place where birds don't shit doesn't have to build a city at all. It's unnecessary!"

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin grinned and agreed.

Cai GUI explained: "now it seems that the cities here are indeed dispensable, but at the beginning, when Mo Yu and the two countries had a bad relationship, it was an important town for Mo to defend Yu."

The people really didn't know much about the history between Mo Yu and the two countries. Hearing what he said, they asked one after another, "when was that?"

Cai GUI pinched his fingers and said, "it's at least 350 or 60 years." He sighed lightly and said, "over the past three hundred years, the country of Mo has become stronger and stronger, while the country of Yu has become weaker and weaker. Up to now, the country of Yu has only been beaten, and Anqiu County is no longer an important military County of Mo!"

"So it is." The people nodded understandably, and then couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Cai knows so much, even the history between Mo Yu."

Cai GUI said with a smile, "I'm flattered to be listed as a general. I just read more books."

Tang Yin said with a smile, "Lord Cai doesn't have to be too modest." After saying that, he took a special look at Qiu Zhen to see what the expression of some people who boast of being talented and rich in learning is now. Qiu Zhen is not red and out of breath. He smiles and looks like being taught.

If there is a large Wanfang City, but there are less than 50000 people in the city, the silver warehouse is empty, and even a grain of rice can not be found in the granary. It is not too much to describe it as being poor. The situation of wanfangcheng makes people have to sigh. Xishan County, the two counties close by, is rich and full of grain, but Anqiu County is ridiculously poor.

On that day, the wind army was stationed in Wanfang city. Tang Yin convened all the generals at the city master's house to discuss how to fight the next battle.

Gao Yu first said, "Your Majesty, since Anqiu's troops are concentrated in Shangwan, the county and city, in the view of the general at the end, our army will not delay time, take Shangwan directly and completely defeat Anqiu's military power."

Tang Yin nodded and felt that what Gao Yu said was feasible.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that attacking the city is the next and cutting the hand over is the top! It's better to send someone to Shangwan to surrender first. If Gao Guan is willing to surrender, he will save strength and avoid the death and injury of our army." General Kong Yan said.

"Surrender without war is not reliable after all. The hidden danger of Shao Yu is enough for our army to be distracted. If we recruit Gaoguan again, there will be too many hidden dangers in the rear of our army, which will inevitably lead to chaos." Gao Yu disagrees with Kong Yan's statement.

Although Kong Yan is a military general, he is easy-going and won't be angry when refuted. He smiled and said, "we can't give up the surrender because we are afraid of the existence of hidden dangers. Can our army kill all the millions of people in Mozambique's central army and local army? I still think we should surrender first and then fight hard!"

Tang Yin thought about it carefully and felt that Kong Yan's words were not unreasonable. He said: "our army came on an expedition. One person is killed and one person is injured. It is difficult to supplement the troops. It would be best if the enemy could fall without fighting." Then he asked Lotte and Aijia, "how is Gao Guan?"

Aijia said: "Gao Guan has been in the position of county head for more than ten years. It must be a diehard faction of Mo country. His subordinates think it is unlikely to surrender Gao Guan."

Lotte agreed and said, "Gao Guan has always been honest, upright and loyal to the country of mo."

Tang Yin secretly said, "anyway, try it first! Qiu Zhen?"

"I'm here!"

"Tomorrow, send someone to Shangqiu to send Gao Guan a letter of surrender."

"Yes! King!" Qiu Zhen answered with an arched hand.

After discussing with the people, Tang Yin wiped the sweat on his forehead, frowned and looked out, muttering, "why is it so hot here?"

Not to mention Tang Yin, the people around him are also sweating. The local climate is not acceptable to newcomers. When you open the doors and windows, the wind and sand will blow in. When you close the doors and windows, the room is as hot as a steamer, which makes people miserable.

Seeing that Tang Yin was suffering from the heat, a San and a Si, as the general protector, immediately ordered the bodyguard to bring some plum soup brought by the army.

Tang Yin doesn't usually drink this sour and sweet thing, but now it's like drinking manna. As soon as he took a gulp, he saw that everyone around him was staring at him and swallowing his saliva. He immediately put down the bowl, told the bodyguard, took all the plum soup and gave it to everyone.

Ah San ah looked puzzled on all sides and said in a low voice, "king, we don't bring much plum soup. Many people drink it separately. I'm afraid each person doesn't have enough..." when they spoke, they also aimed at the people around us.

Tang Yin frowned, stood up and said to the crowd, "let's go out for tea! There can't be even a teahouse in such a big Wanfang city!" After a pause, he explained again: "by the way, give our brothers ten money each, buy tea or summer medicine. In short, I don't want to see our brothers suffer from a wide range of heatstroke before fighting the enemy."

"Yes, your majesty!" The generals stepped in one after another.

There are quite a few teahouses in Wanfang city. As soon as Tang Yin and the generals left the city hall, they saw a teahouse with a large door not far from the diagonally opposite. Tang Yin pointed over there and said with a smile, "let's go there!"

Before Tang Yin and others walked over, the bodyguards rushed forward and surrounded the teahouse, and then more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in. With a burst of noise, a large number of Mozambican people ran out of it. They didn't dare to stop for a moment, and disappeared in the street in the blink of an eye.

Then ah San and ah Si went to the teahouse to make an inspection and confirmed that there was no problem, so they returned to Tang Yin.
