Tang Yin entered the county capital under the guidance of Zhao Hui. His county capital was not comparable to Yu He's. The official residence was not big and the decoration inside was very simple. As Tang Yin walked and looked around, his impression of Zhao Hui also changed.

Quite a few.

After sitting down in the hall, Zhao Hui enthusiastically served tea and snacks. Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you're welcome." Then, he changed the topic and said: "I plan to station the Tianyuan Army in Sanchi City.

I wonder if Mr. Zhao can make it easier for me in this area."

"Oh? Sanchi City?" Zhao Hui was stunned. Sanchi City is located in the south of Guannan County, not far from Jinguang County. It is the only way from Jinguang County to Tongzhou. He swallowed and asked, "Master Tang

How many troops are you planning to station near Sanchi Castle?"

"The entire Tianyuan Army."

"So...how much is it?"

"Four hundred thousand."

Ah! Zhao Hui took a breath. Although the geographical location of Sanchi City is very important, the city is not big. How can it hold an army of 400,000 people? He said with a look of embarrassment: "Master Tang, Sanchi City is not even five miles away.

I’m afraid it won’t be able to accommodate the 400,000 soldiers of the Tianyuan Army!”

Tang Yin smiled and said: "As I said just now, our Tianyuan Army is not stationed in the city, but stationed outside the city. Mr. Zhao, please rest assured that our troops will never harass the people in the city, and they will not do anything to Sanchi City.

What impact.”

Zhao Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So that's it. That's no problem. Is there anything Mr. Tang needs my help with?"

Tang Yin nodded and said: "Master Zhao only needs to help me block the news and don't spread it to Zhong Tian! If I win this battle, I can easily defeat the strength and morale of Zhong Tian's family, or I can take advantage of the victory to pursue it and take it directly.

Yancheng, but if this battle is defeated, I am afraid that no one will be able to turn the overall situation around and restore our Feng Kingdom."

When Zhao Hui heard this, his face suddenly straightened, and he hurriedly said: "Master Tang, although you are relieved, I really can't help you if you want to go to war, but the brothers who assist the Tianyuan Army are secretly stationed outside Sanchi City, so it is not a problem to keep the news strictly sealed.

"

Tang Yin was overjoyed, raised his hands and said, "If Mr. Zhao can really do this, he will have made a great contribution to me, Dafeng."

"Oh, how dare you, how dare you!" Zhao Hui stood up, bowed repeatedly, and said: "Crueling the rebels and restoring the wind are also the obligations that I have to fulfill as a minister of wind."

Tang Yin was relieved after getting the approval of Zhao Hui, the county chief, but he was only half relieved. Although Zhao Hui said something nice, he would still do what he said, or would he secretly inform Zhong Tian?

No one can guarantee it.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Master Zhao's loyalty is admirable. In order to ensure the safety of Master Zhao, the ten thousand cavalry I brought will temporarily live in Tongzhou City, so that they can protect Master Zhao and his family nearby. Master Zhao

, what do you mean?"

It was said to be protection, but in fact it was leaving 10,000 cavalry men to threaten themselves, taking themselves and their families as hostages.

How could Zhao Hui fail to see Tang Yin's intentions? Although Tang Yin's distrust makes people feel uncomfortable, he can also understand Tang Yin's situation. He is now almost using the power of one county to compete with two countries, and there is no room for any

If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for him to turn around.

Zhao Hui nodded and said with a smile: "Master Tang is so thoughtful. In this case, I won't postpone it any longer. Let Master Tang's 10,000 cavalry stay here, or some of them can live in my house."

"

Well, this Zhao Hui is very wise! Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "Then Mr. Zhao is taking the trouble to take care of these soldiers."

"Haha, Mr. Tang is too polite."

Tang Yin came to Tongzhou with ten thousand cavalry. When he returned, only Shangguan Yuanrang was left.

After returning to Tianguan, Tang Yin did not delay. The first thing he did was to send the Liang, Wu, and Ziyang families to Shunzhou, distribute mansions to them, hire servants, and send special personnel to strictly 'protect' them.

He knows the nature of these nobles very well. Now he is going to fight Zhong Tian and the Ningguo coalition forces head-on. The rear is empty. If he doesn't keep an eye on the people of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang, he will do something to himself.

Wouldn't it be troublesome if he couldn't take care of everything in the mess? At this time, Tang Yin showed no mercy at all, and even Wu Mei was sent back to Shunzhou by him.

After finishing this matter, he specially came to Liang Qi and explained to him. Liang Qi was so shrewd that he could understand Tang Yin's approach. Instead of having any grudges, he actually supported Tang Yin's approach.

He was very familiar with his father. In fact, Tang Yin's concerns were not unnecessary. If Liang Xing was allowed to stay in Tianguan, he might really take advantage of Tang Yin to fight in the front and stage a mutiny from behind. Liang Xing'an would be killed.

Liang Qi can feel at ease now that he is in Shunzhou.

After handling this matter, Tang Yin issued an order to leave only 30,000 troops directly under the county guard in Tianguan, and the remaining 400,000 troops all went south and entered Guannan County.

Since Zhao Hui had been approached in advance, the latter opened the door to the enemy and evacuated all the officers and soldiers from the fortresses along the way and returned to Tongzhou.

Even though there was no Confederate army on the road, the size of the 400,000-strong army was so huge that it would be difficult not to attract attention on the march.

After consideration, Tang Yin decided not to take the official road, but to take the less traveled path and avoid the towns along the way. In this way, although the marching speed became slower, the confidentiality was much improved. In addition, he ordered the entire army to march during the day.

Resting and traveling at night are also to cover up others' eyes and prevent the news from leaking out.

Sanchi City is not big, less than five miles in length and width, and there is no moat outside the city. There are not many residents in the city, but it is very lively, with people coming and going, and most of them are businessmen or tourists passing by.

.

There are dense forests to the east and west of Sanchi City. These two large forests cover a large area and cover the deep mountains in the distance. The wood of the trees is thick and hard, and most of Guannan County’s wood products are

Comes from this.

After the Tianyuan Army entered Sanchi City, it was divided into two and secretly stationed in the forest on both sides of the city.

The Tianyuan Army stationed in the woodland on the east side of Sanchi City is the Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi and Bai Yong. Now the Sanshui Army has four more corps from the Liang family, and has increased from the original five corps to nine.

The regiment is close to 100,000 people. Stationed on the west side of Sanchi City is the 300,000 Tianyuan Army led by Tang Yin, including 100,000 Pingyuan Army, 110,000 Chifeng Army and 100,000 Directly Affiliated Army.

After setting up camp deep in the woods, Tang Yin immediately summoned the commanders of all armies and his staff.

There are now more than 40 corps in the Tianyuan Army. The corps commanders and deputy corps commanders alone number nearly a hundred people. The Chinese Army tent can no longer hold so many people. Moreover, there are commanders on top of the corps. Tang Yin only needs to hold the meeting again.

Just ask the commander-in-chief to find him.

At this time, Tang Yin was standing in the middle of the tent. To his left were military generals, including Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Pingyuan Army, Liang Qi, the commander of the Sanshui Army, Li Wei, the commander of the Chifeng Army, and Guyue and Peng Haochu, the commanders of the direct army, who were responsible for spying.

Lotte, Ai Jia and others from the intelligence department. On Tang Yin's right were Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and other civil servants and staff.

When discussing military affairs, Tang Yin didn't like to sit and talk, not to mention that he was now camping in the forest. The tent was simple, just surrounded by tents, and there was no place to sit. Tang Yin hung a map of the Sanchi area on the tent.

Above, he raised his eyes and looked for a moment, then turned back, looked around everyone, and first asked Letian and Ai Jia: "Where are the enemy troops now?"

Letian said seriously: "The enemy has now reached Yuyang." Yuyang is an important town in the northern part of Jinguang County. After passing Yuyang and heading north, you can enter Guannan County in less than two days.

Aijia added: "It was the enemy's previous army that arrived in Yuyang."

After a pause, she explained: "Although Zhong Tian joined forces with the Ning Army to attack this time, the Ning Army seemed to intend to let Zhong Tian's army explore our true strength first, so they deliberately fell behind. Zhong Tian is responsible for the command.

The commander-in-chief of the army was Zhong Wen, Zhong Tian's second son. This man was very timid and divided the 350,000 troops under his command into two parts. The local army of 200,000 served as the vanguard, while he led the rest.

The army is behind us, and now, only 200,000 local troops have arrived in Yuyang!"

Tang Yin nodded and secretly praised that it was good. This time Ai Jia's information was much more detailed than before.

He looked around at everyone present and said: "This battle with Zhong Tian and Ning Jun is very important. If anyone has a good strategy, please tell me quickly!"

"Child Zhong Wen divided the 350,000 men into two and dispersed the troops. He is undoubtedly humiliating himself!" An aide named Han Xuan sneered and raised his hand to Tang Yin and said: "Sir, from Jinguang County

To reach Tongzhou, you must pass through three ponds, and there are dense forests along the way. Our army can set up an ambush halfway. As long as the 200,000 vanguard troops come close, they will be surrounded and annihilated. Although the local army is large, it is

We have been put together temporarily, each with his own commander. Once we are trapped in a tight siege, we will be in chaos if we don't attack. Then our army will attack from all sides and wipe out the 200,000 local troops without any effort."

Tang Yin nodded while listening, feeling that what Han Xuan said was very reasonable and indeed a feasible strategy.

Peng Haochu took a step forward among the generals and raised his hands to Tang Yin: "Sir, is this plan inappropriate?"

Before Tang Yin could speak, Han Xuan had already frowned, looked at Peng Haochu coldly, and asked, "What does General Peng think is wrong with my plan?"

Peng Haochu said seriously: "It was Zhong Tian and his lackeys who rebelled against the king, not the 200,000 local troops. These people are innocent. The reason why they went to Tianyuan County was not of their own free will. They were forced by Zhong Tian."

Come on, if we follow the strategy of Sir (the honorific title given to the staff), how many people will be killed or injured in these 200,000 local troops? The wind people kill the wind people, no matter who lives or dies, who wins or loses, they are all consuming our wind.

The country’s national strength makes Ning people laugh!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath and felt that what Peng Haochu said was right. If the 200,000 local troops were completely surrounded and killed, it would be a huge loss for Feng State.

"Hmph!" Han Xuan was a little embarrassed and snorted coldly and said: "I think General Peng was born in the local army, so he is speaking for these local armies?! It is the most stupid behavior for a woman to tolerate and support an adulterer!
