Chapter 414
The southern city wall of Baguan is much stronger and more complete than the northern city wall, even if there is no war with Mozambique now, there are two full rows of trebuchets in the city wall, once there is a battle, these trebuchets will cause immeasurable damage to the Mo army besieging the city.
When I went up to the head of the city, I looked up, and there were piles of rolling logs and stones like hills everywhere behind the arrow stacks, and bundles of arrows were lined up and rowed, and I couldn't count how many there were. With such a city defense facility, even if there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemy troops attacking the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture the overlord in a short time.
Tang Yin inspected a large circle accompanied by Yingbu, and after seeing it, he was very satisfied with the improvement of his city defense, and he also appreciated Yingbu's ability even more. Fengwang Zhanhua may not be a talented monarch, but he arranged Yingbu in Baguan, and he served for seven or eight years, this decision is really right, with Yingbu here, Baguan can indeed become a reassuring portal.
"My lord, if there is anything wrong with the general, please point it out. Yingbu said.
Tang Yin smiled, shook his head again and again, and said: "General Yingbu's ability to defend the city is far better than mine, and the person who should be consulted is me, not General Yingbu." ”
"Ahh Tang Yin's simple sentence affirmed that Yingbu's heart was greatly useful, and his attitude became more and more humble.
While following Tang Yin towards the city, Ying Bu asked curiously, "My lord, is it true that Mo Guo will use troops against my gale?"
Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "This may not be a big surname, but we can't be unguarded." During this time, through the investigation reports lurking in Zhenjiang, Tang Yin got a lot of information from the Mo royal court.
Shao Fang's assassination did make Shao Ting, the king of Mo, suspicious and estranged his third son Shao Bo, and somewhat dispelled some of Shao Bo's determination to make Shao Bo the crown prince.
At this time, Shao Fang met with Shao Ting under Dong Sheng's order, saying that he did not want to track down the assassin anymore, and hoped that the matter would end here. Shao Ting was very pleased with Shao Fang's deep understanding and carelessness, and couldn't help but be impressed by his personality. After Shao Fang's injuries slowly healed, Shao Ting gave Shao Fang a new position, Captain Wei.
The guard is responsible for defending the palace, is the supreme commander of the palace guards, it can be said that the guard is directly in charge of the military power of the palace, in history, whether it is Mozambique or other vassal states, the guard is the most trusted person by the monarch.
Now Shao Ting has appointed Shao Fang as the post of Guard, which shows the degree of trust in him. There are ministers in the royal court who have a keen sense of smell at this time and feel that the direction of the wind has changed, and Shao Bo is no longer the crown prince, but Shao Fang, who was not optimistic before, has suddenly emerged, and it is likely to replace Shao Bo's position in King Mo's mind.
At this time, the factional division of the Mozambican court is also clearer, the ministers led by Dong Sheng support Shao Fang, and the ministers led by Taifu Zhang Rong support Shao Bo, and some ministers are centrists, neither end of the two ends participated, waiting to see what happens, on the surface, Mozambique is calm, a peaceful and prosperous world, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and the factional dispute in the royal court has quietly begun.
Tang Yin knew all about these situations, he was not worried about Shao Fang, he was worried about Dong Sheng. It is better to say that Dong Sheng supports Shao Fang, it is better to say that Dong Sheng supports Mozambique, such a person is based on the interests of the country, capricious, and has no credibility at all.
Now that he saw that Yingbu's city defense management was so perfect, he was somewhat relieved. When he walked towards the General's Mansion, Tang Yin asked, "General Yingbu, where are the remnants of Zhong Tian running now?"
Yingbu was so frightened by the Wind Chasing Sword that he didn't dare to go out of the city, and he didn't know where Zhong Tian had run, so he said with an embarrassed face: "My lord, this ...... I don't know. ”
Tang Yin turned his head to look at him, then stopped and said, "Lotte, Aijia!"
"The subordinates are here!" Lotte and Ai Jia hurriedly stepped forward and intervened.
"Can you two find out where Zhong Tian fled?"
"Oh......" Lotte and Ai Jia glanced at each other and replied, "My subordinates are sending someone to investigate." ”
Even the Sky Eye and the Earth Net didn't know where Zhong Tian had fled to, which was strange. Since Zhong Tian and Ning Jun did not dare to take the official road, they only walked through the wilderness, and the spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Net really did not find out their whereabouts. Tang Yin paused for a moment and said to the two: "Find out quickly!" After speaking, he continued to walk towards the General's Mansion.
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, after everyone was seated, Yingbu hurriedly asked the food to be served. The conditions of Baguan are still as difficult as before, there is no wine, as for the meals, they are all simple and cannot be simpler, looking at the coarse tea and light rice on the table, Yingbu looked ashamed, and said to Tang Yin: "My lord, there are only these things in the pass......"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand in understanding, interrupted his words, and then looked around at Yingbu and his generals, and sighed, "I understand. Over the years, General Yingbu and the officers and men in the army have really suffered in Baguan, but it is precisely because of the presence of the generals and brothers that my windy south is as stable as a rock. ”
This sentence almost made the Yingbu and the generals of the Baguan Army almost cry, and people's eyes were rosy, and they all bowed their hands to Tang Yin and said: "My lord is serious." ”
For the Wind Country, Baguan and Tongmen are equally important cities, checkpoints and gateways, but Yancheng has always valued Tongmen more, and its attitude towards Baguan is almost ignorant, which also makes the psychology of the soldiers of the Baguan Army extremely unbalanced, and because of this, although Baguan has hoarded heavy troops, the soldiers of Baguan silently accepted this fact without even a little opposition when Zhong Tian usurped the throne.
Now that Tang Yin said this, he finally made the generals feel that their hardships and efforts in guarding the border over the years were not in vain.
Tang Yin said to Yingbu Zhengse: "After eliminating the national thief Zhong Tian, I will go to the imperial court and transfer General Yingbu back to the capital to take up his post. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Returning to the capital, Yingbu didn't know how many years he had been looking forward to in his heart, his excited body straightened up, and he almost jumped up from the collapse. However, he soon found that the generals under his command were looking at him blankly, and Yingbu's heart moved, and he asked, "My lord, what ......is it?" Then these brothers of mine ......"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly with an embarrassed face, and said: "The importance of Baguan to my Fengguo is self-evident, to transfer General Yingbu is already to greatly weaken the city defense of Baguan, if you transfer other generals, I am afraid that once there is a change, Baguan will be lost!"
Yingbu knew in his heart that Tang Yin's concerns were not wrong, and the truth was the same, but let him abandon the brothers who had followed him for many years and return to the capital alone, he couldn't pull off this face, and he couldn't give up this affection. At this time, the excitement in Yingbu's heart decreased sharply, looked at Tang Yin, and then looked at the brothers under his command, silently lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
He didn't speak, Tang Yin didn't speak, and while he lowered his head to eat his meal, his eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that the hall was surprisingly quiet and the atmosphere was a little depressing, the generals of the Baguan Army invariably owed a debt, and smiled at Yingbuqiang: "General, since the adults have the ability to transfer you back to the capital, don't miss this opportunity!"
"Yes, general, you don't have to worry about us, we have been living in Baguan for so many years, if we suddenly return to the capital, we may not be used to it, brothers, don't you?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll stay in Baguan, and the general doesn't have to worry about us. ”
The more the generals said this, the more Yingbu couldn't settle down, looking at these generals who got along with him day and night, and were like brothers and sisters, he was reluctant to see them stay in Baguan and continue to suffer, and finally he turned his heart and said to Tang Yin: "My lord's kindness, I understand it, but if I go back to the capital alone, I really can't do it, let me stay in Baguan with my brothers!"
"General......
After hearing this, the generals were all anxious, and they could be transferred back to the capital, what a rare opportunity this was, how could they say that they would give up if they gave up? The generals were also anxious for Yingbu in their hearts.
Tang Yin was secretly happy in his heart, he was about to laugh, Yingbu was a natural guard, and he has been the master of the overlord for seven or eight years, he is very familiar with the environment and situation here, and he also gets along with the soldiers, this is too rare, if he doesn't stay in the overlord, Tang Yin is really relieved to be replaced by someone else!
However, he also admired the natural affection between Yingbu and the generals under his command, which can be called sharing weal and woe. He bit his lip, then smiled indifferently and asked, "Does General Yingbu really want to stay in Baguan?"
"Yes, my lord, the admiral willing!" replied without thinking.
"Don't think about it anymore?"
Yingbu smiled, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to think about this matter. ”
"That's it!" Tang Yin nodded and said: "I will play this matter to the imperial court, let General Yingbu continue to serve as the chief general of the overlord, and ......" After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "In addition, if General Yingbu does not object, the soldiers of the Baguan Army can take all their families to Baguan, if Baguan cannot be settled, they can settle in the towns near Baguan, so that the soldiers can reunite with their families from time to time and no longer suffer from the separation between the two places. Heart. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, especially the overlord generals headed by Yingbu, who wondered if their ears had heard it wrong and could take their families over? This is simply incredible.
You must know that Baguan is a border fortress, far away from the capital, in order to prevent the garrison from rebelling or defecting to the enemy country, the families of its garrison generals are settled in the capital, if you can take the family members to Baguan, it can be said that it is unprecedented in history, setting a precedent, not to mention, how much trust is needed for this?
