Tang Yin said confidently: "Now our army is far from being exhausted. What's more, the imperial court has sent the Ninth Army over. As long as the Ninth Army arrives in Sichuan, no matter how large the Sichuan army is, it will not be enough."

Think about it."

Liang Qi said bluntly: "The Ninth Army can only fight on the plains, and the Xuangu Pass that the king wants is located in Shuangtang County. Shuangtang County is full of dangerous mountains and ravines, and the Ninth Army cannot perform its operations at all.

Combat strength, and moreover, when will the Ninth Army arrive at Sichuan? One month? Or two months or even longer? Our army's food and grass are only enough for half a month at most, and we can't wait until the Ninth Army arrives.

Reinforcements are coming.”

The generals nodded one after another, feeling that every word Liang Qi said made sense. Even Shangguan Yuanrang, who had always stood on Tang Yin's side, lowered his head and remained silent at this time.

Qingyu leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that the opportunity to fight has been lost, even if we stay in Sichuan, it will be difficult to make progress. Instead of humiliating ourselves, we should withdraw our troops decisively. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" As he spoke, all the generals stood up one after another and stepped in to salute Tang Yin.

Looking around at everyone, Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really unwilling to accept that Xiao Xuan died of illness, and he died of illness far away from Zhaoyang, the capital of Sichuan. This was such a good opportunity, why couldn't he take advantage of it?

Woolen cloth!

He asked word for word: "Do you all think the troops should be withdrawn now?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the generals said in unison.

"Yuan Rang, what do you mean?" Tang Yin turned to look at Shangguan Yuan Rang.

Shangguan Yuanrang grinned, scratched his cheek, and muttered in a low voice, "But...but that's okay..."

Tang Yin's nose almost became angry when he heard this. He frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean it's okay?! I'm asking you, should our army be aggressive or withdraw to our country now?"

Shangguan Yuanrang looked at the people around him and saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly. He took a deep breath, met Tang Yin's eyes, and said decisively: "It's time to retreat!"

Alas! Tang Yin thought to himself that it was over. Even Yuan Rang, who had always been belligerent, retreated. It seemed that no one among the generals would stand on his side.

He twirled his fingers, was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Since everyone advocates withdrawing the troops, then... withdraw the troops!"

"Your Majesty, withdrawing the troops is not enough. Your Majesty must immediately write a letter to Zhaoyang, apologize to the Sichuan Kingdom, and explain that this dispatch of troops was all due to the instigation of the villain. He hopes that the Sichuan Kingdom will ignore the past grievances and continue to have a good alliance with the Feng Kingdom." Liang

Qi Zhengse said.

"Do I still want to apologize to Sichuan?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and his eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible.

Liang Qi said: "This time we send troops, our country is suspected of taking advantage of others, which is easy to prove. Furthermore, our country's national strength is not yet comparable to that of Sichuan. It is time to recuperate and strengthen our troops. If Sichuan this time

Taking advantage of the victory to counterattack our country is really difficult to deal with. Therefore, the king should take the initiative to make good friends with Xiu Shu from the Sichuan Kingdom, and not let the overall situation be missed due to a moment of anger."

After Liang Qi finished speaking for a while, Tang Yin burst into laughter. His smile was bitter and helpless. He nodded and said feebly: "Okay, as you see it, I will write this letter."

Looking at the king's appearance, he seemed to be giving up on himself and breaking the jar. The generals of the Feng Army were worried. People looked at each other and wanted to persuade Tang Yin, but they didn't know how to speak.

Tang Yin had not yet given up on himself, and was still a little discouraged. He was upset, looked around at everyone, and asked: "If nothing happens, everyone can go down!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will retire!" The generals didn't want to leave at first, but when they looked up at Yin Lan standing behind Tang Yin, they found that she was winking at everyone in her side. The generals understood and bowed to Tang Yin one after another.

Then they filed out of the Chinese military tent.

After all the generals left, Yin Lan walked to the commander's case, knelt down on the ground, studied ink, and whispered: "It's nothing to be defeated once. Your Majesty, there is no need to be discouraged. Wait a year and a half before our country sends troops again."

That’s it for Kawachi.”

Tang Yin glanced at Yin Lan, then slowly shook his head, and said: "Xiao Xuan died suddenly, the Sichuan Kingdom does not even have a prince, the court is in disarray, the princes and princesses are fighting each other, if at this time we cannot take advantage of the Sichuan Kingdom

, when the new king of Sichuan takes over, it will be even more difficult for our country to have a chance of winning."

Yin Lan rolled her eyes and said, "If we can't use troops, why doesn't your Majesty consider trying other methods?"

Tang Yin's heart moved. He turned to look at Yin Lan and asked, "What method?"

"Who is the king most afraid of becoming the new king of Sichuan?"

"This..." This question is really hard to answer. It can be said that none of Xiao Xuan's descendants are idiots and useless people.

The eldest son, Xiao Ting, has the demeanor of an elder brother and is very grand in his conduct; the second son, Xiao Yuan, is gloomy and low-key, unassuming and unfathomable; the third son, Xiao Yu, looks delicate and feminine, but is actually smart.

The fourth prince Xiao Peng seems to be a naive martial artist, but in fact he is full of literary skills and martial arts. The fifth princess Xiao Xiang, not to mention, Tang Yin ate her the first time they came into contact with her.

loss.

Tang Yin was silent for a long time and said: "I... am a little worried about Xiao Xiang..." One of the important reasons why he was worried about Xiao Xiang was that Xiao Xuan was optimistic about Xiao Xiang, and in Tang Yin's mind, the prince who could be favored by Xiao Xuan would definitely

It is the biggest threat to yourself.

But then I thought about it, Xiao Xiang is a woman after all. If she really becomes the King of Sichuan, it is still unclear whether she can support the behemoth of Sichuan Kingdom!

Thinking of this, he immediately changed his mind and said: "Xiao Yuan is an unfathomable person who is difficult to figure out. If he becomes the King of Sichuan, he will definitely pose the greatest threat to our country."

"In this case, why doesn't the king send his trusted people to sneak into Zhaoyang and wait for the opportunity to eradicate the one who poses the greatest threat to our Feng Kingdom and support the one who poses the least threat to our Feng Kingdom?" Yin Lan said slowly while rubbing his ink.

Tang Yin's eyes lit up, yes, this is a good idea. Even if you can't get rid of the one who poses the greatest threat to your side, as long as you can provoke conflicts among the princes and princesses of Sichuan, it will be good to cause internal conflict among them.

He asked with a smile: "Yin Lan, who do you think is the most suitable person to send into Zhaoyang?"

Yin Lan didn't even think about it and blurted out: "My subordinates think that Lord Gao Mucheng is the most suitable person."

"Gao Mucheng?" Tang Yin recited the name thoughtfully. Gao Mucheng is now the deputy leader of Shadow and a senior executive of Dark Arrow. He holds two positions. In the Feng Kingdom court, his official position is not high, but he holds the

The real power is great.

Of course Yin Lan would not recommend Gao Mucheng for no reason. She also had selfish motives. Strictly speaking, there are currently only three people in the top management of Shadow. One is the big leader Gu Chen, the second is the deputy leader Gao Mucheng, and the third is beside Tang Yin.

Yin Lan.

If she wants to continue to climb up, Gao Mucheng will be her biggest obstacle. Taking Gao Mucheng away is of course the most beneficial to Yin Lan. From now on, she will be the second most powerful person in Shadow after Gu Chen.

Seeing that Tang Yin was thinking, Yin Lan hurriedly added: "Master Gao is thoughtful, agile and flexible, and is good at adapting to changes. At the same time, he is proficient in observing words and colors, and is good at reading people's hearts. He is very suitable for lurking in dangerous situations. In addition, Master Gao is loyal to the king.

Even if he is far away from the king, he will not have any second thoughts towards the king, so I think it is most appropriate to send Mr. Gao to sneak into Zhaoyang and wait for the opportunity."

"Yeah!" Yin Lan nodded as she said Tang Yin, feeling that Gao Mucheng was indeed a good candidate. He said, "It's just that by sending Mucheng to Zhaoyang, there will be one less person to take care of Shadow."

Gao Mucheng was involved in Shadow from conception to formation to formal establishment, and he also made great efforts to transfer him. Tang Yin was worried that Shadow's operation would be affected.

Yin Lan immediately responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates can take over the affairs left by Master Gao."

Tang Yin looked at Yin Lan with a smile, raised his hand and nodded her, saying, "Is this the real purpose of recommending Mu Cheng to me?"

When Tang Yin revealed what was on his mind, Yin Lan's heart tightened. She lowered her head subconsciously and sat upright, not even daring to breathe.

Seeing that she looked like she had done something wrong, the smile on Tang Yin's face grew stronger, and he shrugged and said, "Okay, as you wish, send Gao Mucheng to Zhaoyang."

Yin Lan was surprised and happy when she heard this, but she didn't dare to show it. She suppressed her excitement and responded slowly and cautiously: "Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will edit the books for the court in a moment."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded casually. His impression of Gao Mucheng was that he was capable and ruthless at the same time. He could be reused, but whether he was worthy of trust or not was still unknown.

It would not be a bad idea to send Gao Mucheng away and hand over the power of Shadow to Yin Lan. After all, Yin Lan is the person around him and is much more trustworthy than Gao Mucheng.

It was out of this mentality that Tang Yin accepted Yin Lan's proposal and sent Gao Mucheng to Zhaoyang even though he knew she had selfish motives.

After deciding on this matter, Tang Yin picked up his pen and looked at the silk cloth spread on the desk and couldn't help but be in a daze. What he was in trouble now was how to write the apology letter to Sichuan State, but no matter how he wrote it, he really

It is difficult to write.

After thinking about it, Tang Yin put his pen back on the desk and said to Yin Lan: "Isn't it Liang Qi who proposed to apologize to the Sichuan Kingdom?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yin Lan nodded blankly.

"Well, let Liang Qilai write this letter. After he finishes it, just show it to me." Tang Yin rolled up the silk on the desk and handed it to Yin Lan along with the pen and ink, waving his hand and saying

: "Go quickly, don't let Liang Qi use the excuse of military training as an excuse!"
