But Zhong Tian never imagined that Tang Yin's withdrawal of troops was just to withdraw his fists in preparation for the heavy punches that would follow.

The Tianyuan Army returned to its hometown of Tianyuan County and began large-scale farming, making a posture of long-term truce. In the dark, the 100,000-3 Navy Army led by Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuanrang quietly continued northward and left Pingyuan County.

, enter the territory of Bessa, and then transfer from Bessa to Duki.

The 100,000-strong Sanshui Army marched at night and rested during the day, and they specifically sought out deserted and secluded places to set up camp. The Sanshui Army carried a lot of supplies. After all, they didn’t know how long they would hold out for this sneak attack on Tongmen, so they had to make a decision.

To prepare for a long-term battle, food and grass must be sufficient. In addition, the army-breaking crossbows and city-breaking crossbows provided by Xuanwang also put a huge burden on the Sanshui Army, especially the city-breaking crossbows. Although there are only about forty, their size is

It was too big, clumsy and heavy, and extremely difficult to transport, which caused a lot of trouble for the Sanshui Army. Fortunately, the march time was sufficient, and the Sanshui Army would not be overwhelmed by all the heavy supplies.

The Tianyuan Army was stationed in the fields with great fanfare, but at the same time it sent out a hundred thousand troops to sneak attack Tongmen. This is similar to "building a plank road in the open and crossing Chencang secretly".

Tang Yin acted like a truce, but someone on Zhong Tian's side proposed to take the initiative to attack, Geng Qiang, the head of Lehu County.

Geng Qiang was a die-hard loyalist to Zhong Tian. After he was promoted to the county chief, he became even more loyal to Zhong Tian and had a firm stand. Seeing that all the Tianyuan troops who were close to him had withdrawn and Jinguang County was empty, he decided to

He took the initiative to ask Zhong Tian to raise troops to attack Jinguang County.

Geng Qiang was not just talking. He did have troops in his hands. During the period when he served as the head of Lehu County, Geng Qiang implemented the iron bowl policy and recruited about 30,000 troops. The number was small, but the attack was ineffective.

Jinguang County is more than enough. After seeing Geng Qiang's memorial, Zhong Tian was very happy, but he also knew in his heart that he was not good at military affairs. If he wanted to attack Jinguang County now, it would be better to ask Zhan Wushuang first.

He invited Zhan Wushuang to mention the matter to him, and the latter shook his head like a rattle.

The last time he took the initiative to attack, the Central Army, the local army under Zhong Tian, ​​plus the 400,000 Ning Army, all came close to 800,000 people. However, they were defeated by the Tianyuan Army. In the end, only the 200,000 Ning Army came back. The lessons learned from the past are still there.

Now, how long has passed, Zhong Tian actually wants to take the initiative again. Isn't this asking for trouble and death?

Zhan Wushuang said seriously: "Your Majesty, your country is currently empty of military power. You should not take the initiative to start a war. Instead, you should take this rare opportunity to recuperate, recharge your batteries, and consolidate control over various places. As long as your strength is

After accumulating all the resources, it will be a matter of course to use the strength of the whole country to eliminate Tang Yin and the others!"

"Yes! What General Zhan said makes sense!" Zhong Tian nodded in agreement. With Zhan Wushuang's advice, his attitude towards the attack on Jinguang County immediately cooled down, and he issued an order to Geng Qiang, ordering him to continue in Lehu.

The county recruits troops and buys horses, accumulates strength, prepares a strong formation, and prepares to hold on, and cannot take the initiative to attack.

Zhan Wushuang's advice was very wise. What Tang Yin hopes most now is that Zhong Tian can take the initiative to attack Jinguang County. In this way, there will be another opportunity to kill Zhong Tian's troops. However, Zhong Tian was not fooled in the end, but

Tang Yin did not feel disappointed, after all, the sneak attack on Tongmen was the top priority of the Tianyuan Army's overall tactics.

Since the war with Zhong Tian, ​​Tang Yin has been fighting in the north and south, traveling around various places. Now that he has returned to Tianyuan County, he can finally get some free time to rest peacefully.

After returning to Tianyuan County, the first thing he did was to visit Wu Yu.

Although the Dancer now has no power and no soldiers, his prestige is still there. After Zhong Tian is eliminated, if Tang Yin wants to achieve great things, he will inevitably have to rely more on the support of the Dancer. Whether he wants to or not, he must restore a good relationship with Wu Yu.

All are necessary, and this is also the advice of Qiu Zhen and other counselors.

Wu Yu was very surprised to learn that Tang Yin had come to visit. After all, Tang Yin had just led the army back to Tianyuan County, and he had just returned to Shunzhou. He probably didn't even feel hot at home, so he came here.

In his opinion, he now had no real power, no heavy troops in his hands, and was of no use value to Tang Yin. He should kick him away.

Deep down in his heart, Wu Yu was somewhat flattered by Tang Yin's proactive visit.

The dance family declined due to the death of Feng Wang, but Wu Yu's driver was still there and did not take the initiative to greet him. He sat in the lobby and ordered his servants to invite Tang Yin to come over.

Tang Yin also took great care of the dancers. The house allocated to the dancers in Shunzhou was large enough for the dancers to own, and the daily expenses were also provided for the dancers, ensuring that the dancers had no worries about food, clothing, and life.

Wealth. Of course, he treated the other Liang and Ziyang families with the same kindness.

In the hall, Tang Yin saw Wu Yu sitting in the middle. He stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands and saluted, and said, "Wu Yu!"

"I dare not take it!" Wu Yu glanced at Tang Yin and said quietly: "I am no longer the Right Chancellor, and Mr. Tang no longer needs to commensurate with Wu!"

It can be heard that Wu Yu is still holding back his anger and grievances and has nowhere to vent. Tang Yin smiled and said: "In my heart, Wu Xiang is still Wu Xiang, and there is a lot worth learning for me."

"What can you learn from me? Learn from me how to seize soldiers and power?" Wu Yu said in a deep voice.

Tang Yin sighed softly and said: "A country cannot have two monarchs, and an army cannot have two commanders. Concentrating the troops and unifying the command of the army is not allowed. I hope Xiang Wu can forgive me!"

After hearing what he said, Wu Yu's anger finally subsided. He was also a smart man, so he naturally understood that Tang Yin's words were not unreasonable, but he still felt unhappy.

Tang Yin continued: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Wu. After Zhong Tian is eliminated, my title of Dafeng will be restored. At that time, Prime Minister Wu will still be the Right Prime Minister, and the legions directly under the Dance Family will still be restored and will continue to be dispatched by the Dance Family."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Wu Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Tang Yin with bright eyes, and asked, "Is this true?"

"Of course! How dare I deceive Wu Xiang?!" Tang Yin replied with a smile.

Wu Yu felt energetic now. Now he no longer wanted to compete for the throne of the king. As long as he could restore the original status of the dancer, it would be great. It was only then that he saw Tang Yin more favorably. Wu Yu

As the prime minister of Feng Kingdom for many years, he was also a cunning old fox. When he saw Tang Yin suddenly treating him so politely, he thought about it and roughly guessed Tang Yin's purpose. The old man smiled slightly, picked up the teacup slowly, and said quietly

: "Does Mr. Tang have any intention of seeking the throne of the king?"

When Tang Yin heard this, his heart moved.

Now, the Tianyuan Army has developed to this extent, and Tang Yin's power has reached such a scale. It would definitely be a lie to say that he has no feelings for the king in his heart.

At this time, Wu Yu's straightforward inquiry also made Tang Yin start to face this problem. He was silent for a long time, neither admitting nor denying it. He just asked slowly: "I don't know if Wu Xiang is willing to stand on my side, and whether

Are you willing to support me fully behind my back?"

Wu Yu looked straight at Tang Yin and sighed secretly. It turned out that Tang Yin really had the intention to become a king! He had really underestimated this man at the beginning, not only his ability but also his ambition.

He ignored a problem and was not in his position and did not pursue his political goals. If anyone were in Tang Yin's current environment, he would have some plans. Otherwise, that person would be too wantless. Tang Yin also said in the future

, his ambition was not originally big, but gradually expanded with the encouragement of people around him and the step-by-step promotion of his own position.

Wu Yu took a deep breath, put down the teacup, and said seriously: "As long as the reputation and status of the dancer can be restored to its original state, I can do anything, and I can pay any price." The implication was that

, as long as Tang Yin can strictly abide by his promise, he will do his best to support Tang Yin and help him ascend the throne.

This was undoubtedly approved by Wu Yu. Tang Yin was very happy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Wu Yu first!"

"I don't dare to take it..." Wu Yu waved his hand, looking at Tang Yin, his eyes became deep, and he smiled with a different meaning.

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and smiled tacitly.

At this time, the identities of Tang Yin and Wu Yu had begun to undergo a complete change. Originally, Tang Yin was a subordinate of the dancer, Tang Yin was a subordinate, and Wu Yu was the master, but now the relationship between the two is changing in the opposite direction.

In order to win over the dancers, Tang Yin made various promises at this time, so that the dancers would prosper again in the future, but new problems arose because of this, that is, the conflicts and power struggles between the old and new nobles. This is

Later words.

After chatting with Wu Yu for a while, Tang Yin looked around and saw Wu Mei coming out. He asked casually: "Isn't the eldest lady at home?"

Wu Yu smiled inwardly and said, "At home."

"Oh? But she..."

"I think Xiao Mei is angry with Mr. Tang!" Wu Yu felt relaxed at this time. The old god was sitting on the chair on the ground, holding a tea cup and drinking slowly.

Tang Yin nodded in understanding. He seized the military power of the dancer and drove Wu Mei to Shunzhou. With her character, it would be strange if she wasn't angry. He shrugged and smiled, stood up and said, "Wu Xiang,

I wonder if I can go see the eldest lady?"

"Of course!" Wu Yu waved to the servant at the door and said, "Take Mr. Tang to the back house!"

"Yes!" the servant hurriedly agreed, bowed and stretched out his hands, and said respectfully to Tang Yinbi: "Master Tang, please come this way!"

Tang Yin nodded, cupped his hands to Wu Yu and said, "Wu Xiang, I'll take my leave first!"

"You should understand Xiaomei's temper. You should be more accommodating to her."

"I understand! Thank you Wu Xiang for reminding me."

Looking at Tang Yin's leaving figure, Wu Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. In the past, he was unwilling to let Wu Mei and Tang Yin get too close, but now, he sincerely hopes that the two can get married together.
Chapter completed!
