Chapter 431

Before Xiao Xin could finish his words, Cheng Jin had already raised his leg and kicked him hard on the back. Read the full text. Xiao Xin let out a cry, threw his head forward, slid far on the ground, and rolled until he was in front of Tang Yin. Cheng Jin quickly followed him, stepped on his back, and shouted: "Just say whatever I ask you. You don't need to analyze it. If you dare to talk nonsense any more, I will kick your head to pieces!"

Xiao Xin was frightened, frightened, and in unbearable pain all over his body. His nose and tears were flowing even more, and he screamed at Tang Yin: "Sir, please have mercy! My lord, please have mercy—"

Tang Yin smiled slightly and saw that Xiao Xin's face was torn and covered with dust. He took out the handkerchief, handed it to Xiao Xin with a pleasant look, and said softly: "Wipe your face first." After that, , and he said to Cheng Jin: "Since Xiao Xin is devoted to the court, he is one of our own, and we can't be so rude anymore."

Tang Yin could pretend to be approachable to such a villain, but Cheng Jin couldn't pretend. He glared at Xiao Xin fiercely, but still held up his hand and said, "Yes, sir!"

Letting Xiao Xin calm down, Tang Yin looked at Xiao Xin who was kneeling in front of him with a smile, and asked: "You didn't finish what you said just now, what else?"

"Oh..." Xiao Xin thought for a while before remembering what he wanted to say. He turned around and looked at Cheng Jin in fear. When he saw Cheng Jin staring at him with a pair of murderous eyes, his face was frightened. Pale and trembling, he said: "In addition, Xiao Shang has two very powerful generals, one is named Hao Zhao, the other is named Jiang Fan, especially Jiang Fan..." He wanted to explain more, but suddenly remembered Cheng Jin swallowed the warning just now and swallowed back the next words.

Tang Yin saw his concerns and smiled: "Don't worry, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Ah, sir, especially Jiang Fan. Like you, he is also a dark spiritual cultivator. Although he is young, less than thirty, he has never encountered an opponent since he joined the army. Sir, you should be careful about this person. ah!"

"Hmph!" Cheng Jin couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said with a sneer: "How many masters can there be in the small Gaochuan County? I haven't met an opponent there, so it doesn't mean anything. If you are talking about that If Jiang Fan is really so powerful, wouldn't Zhong Tian have already recruited him into his army?"

Xiao Xin smiled bitterly, Gaochuan County was high and the emperor was far away. If the county chief Xiao Shang didn't take the initiative to recommend it, how could Zhong Tian know that there was such a powerful figure as Jiang Fan? But now he was deeply afraid of Cheng Jin and did not dare to explain more. He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes, yes! What the general said is absolutely true. The villain is short-sighted!"

Although Tang Yin listened carefully, he didn't take it too seriously. He had the same idea as Cheng Jin. Gaochuan County was too small and too closed-minded. He didn't think Xiao Shang could have any great generals under his command. He turned around and attacked Shangguan Yuanwu. The latter understood, took the map of Zhangyu and handed it to Tang Yin.

He took it and looked at it twice, then put it in front of Xiao Xin and said: "Please mark out the city defense situation of Zhangyu in detail. If everything is true, I will spare your life. If you dare to lie to me, haha, then... Don’t blame my men for being ruthless.”

Xiao Xin was frightened and quickly took the map. At this time, Shangguan Yuanbiao sent over the pen and ink. Xiao Xin picked up his pen, looked at the map and pondered for a moment, then looked at Tang Yin in embarrassment and said, "Sir, I have been stationed here in Panshui for more than ten days. How many changes have taken place in the defense of Zhangyu City in these ten days? People don’t know either!”

Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Just mark out what you know in detail. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Xiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, took a pen, and drew on the map, where the city defense was strong, where the city defense was weak, where there were heavy troops, and where there was a shortage of troops, as well as where the city defense weapons were displayed, what types and quantities they were, where food and grass were stored, etc. All important information is drawn on the map one by one and marked.

After he finished writing everything, he picked up the map and read it from beginning to end to confirm that it was correct. Then he nodded with satisfaction, smiled at Tang Yin, and said, "Sir, everything I know has been marked on it. ”

"Yes!" Tang Yin took it and took a brief look at it. He felt that it was reasonable. He nodded with satisfaction, folded the map together, smiled and played with his nails, and said: "Very good, it seems that you are indeed my Dafeng." Loyal minister."

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty, you can see clearly that this villain has been loyal to Dafeng from beginning to end." Xiao Xin immediately followed Tang Yin's words to state his position again, and at the same time, he caught a glimpse of Tang Yin's nails out of the corner of his eye. Clean, smooth and full, with not even a speck of dirt between the gaps.

"Since you are so loyal..." Tang Yin stretched out his hand with a smile, turned his palm over, and turned his palm upward. Without any warning, with a cry, a black flame suddenly burst out in his palm. The pure black fire ball condensed in his palm, floating and beating in the air, glowing faintly with blue light.

"Then you go and keep the late king company!" As he spoke, Tang Yin suddenly pressed his palm on the top of his head before Xiao Xin could react. call! The fire of darkness instantly burned from Xiao Xin's head to his whole body. He only let out a very short scream, and then he fell to the ground, motionless, and died on the spot. At the same time, a billowing white mist rose from his body, and Tang Yin inhaled all of it into his body.

After sucking up the aura created by Xiao Xin, Tang Yin let out a faint breath, closed his eyes, and was silent for a moment. Then he nodded and confirmed that Xiao Xin's markings on the map were not false, and then picked up the map again and looked at it carefully. In fact, he can get everything he wants from Xiao Xin's aura, but he doesn't have the patience to search bit by bit in the other person's memory.

Seeing that Tang Yin was looking at the map seriously and no longer paying attention to the corpse on the ground, Cheng Jin stepped forward, grabbed the corpse's clothes and pulled it out of the tent like a dead dog.

According to Xiao Xin's note, Zhangyu's defense is strong in the west and south, and weak in the east and north. Most of its city defense weapons and army grain and grass supplies are stored in the west city and south city. If this is the case now, then our own side will attack Zhangyu fiercely. The east and north sides can be easily won. Thinking of this, Tang Yin smiled, handed the map to Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao behind him, and asked: "Take a look, what tactics should we use when we attack Zhangyu?"

Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao did not expect that Tang Yin would suddenly ask for their opinions. They hurriedly stepped forward, took the map and looked at it carefully. After taking a closer look, Shangguan Yuanbiao grinned widely and said: "Sir, the defenses in the east and north of Zhangyu City are extremely weak. The total number of defenders on both sides does not exceed 3,000. If our army attacks these two areas with all its strength, From this direction, one attack can break the city."

Tang Yin listened and nodded with a smile, but did not answer.

Shangguan Yuanwu shook his head and said with concern: "Even if Xiao Xin's prediction is true, the situation he has grasped was more than ten days ago. Who knows what changes will happen to Zhangyu's city defense in these ten days? , Your Excellency, you should be careful and do not use this picture to determine your siege strategy.”

"Yes!" Tang Yin restrained his smile and said seriously: "What Yuan Wu said is absolutely true. However, although the information provided by Xiao Xin may not be the actual situation in Zhangyu, the other party's granary and armory are located in the west and south of the city respectively. It cannot be false. No matter how the enemy changes their defenses, they cannot suddenly move the granaries and armories. Therefore, the defenses in the west and south of the city must be stronger than those in the east and north of the city. If we want to attack, our main attack direction must still be On these two points.”

"Yes!" Shangguan Yuanwu nodded thoughtfully.

Shangguan Yuanbiao said with a smile: "I must be right!"

Tang Yin rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "You are right."

"Haha..." Shangguan Yuanbiao shrugged and laughed repeatedly.

General Tang Yin looked at the map again, then called the guards outside and asked him to find all his generals to discuss the strategy of attacking Zhangyu.

The guards left not long ago, and the generals headed by Shangguan Yuanrang and Zhan Hu and the generals headed by Xiao Muqing and Ziying arrived one after another.

Tang Yin first handed the map to everyone, and after they all looked at it, he asked: "General Xiao, how many days will it take at the earliest for all the Pingyuan Army to cross the river?"

"Come back to me, sir." Xiao Muqing took a step forward, bowed her hands respectfully, and said, "It will take another two days."

Tang Yin responded: "Okay, in two days, when all the Pingyuan troops have crossed the Pan River, our army will march directly to Zhangyu." After a pause, he asked again: "What do you mean?"

Before anyone else could answer, Xiao Muqing had already exclaimed: "My lord, you see! It's almost May now, and the weather is getting hotter and muggier, especially in the mountains, which are humid and watery. Our soldiers are extremely uncomfortable with it, so a quick battle and decision is the best strategy. Sir The thoughtfulness is impressive and impressive!”

What he said were all facts, but after Xiao Muqing said the words, everyone present felt uncomfortable hearing them, and felt that Xiao Muqing was like a villain who was good at flattery.

Tang Yinze threw his head back and laughed, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He paused for a while and then said: "Everyone has seen the map of Zhangyu. The marks on it are the city defense situation more than ten days ago. I decided to wait for the army to arrive. After Zhangyu, attack the east and north of the city first. General Xiao, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Xiao Muqing did not dare to be careless. He took the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he folded the map and praised: "My lord is wise and powerful, and his astuteness is extraordinary. The strategy he has decided is the best. The final general has no clues." objection."

Ziying secretly sighed. Although Xiao Muqing's flattery was annoying, there was indeed nothing wrong with the two attack directions designated by Tang Yin. It really couldn't be said that Xiao Muqing's flattery was wrong.

Tang Yin looked at Ziying again with a smile and asked, "General Ziying, what do you think?"

Ziying cupped his hands and said, "The general also thinks it's feasible."

"Okay!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "The Pingyuan Army will mainly attack the north of Zhangyu City, and the Tianying Army will follow me to attack the east of Zhangyu City. If you all have no objections, then this matter will be settled!"

"Yes!" Everyone bowed to receive the order.
