Chapter 313

Tang Yin asked, "What else is going on?"

Qiu Zhen said: "Even if General Yingbu can stand on our side and prevent the Ning army and Zhong Tian from clearing the customs, what if the Mozambican country sends troops to reinforce at that time? In this way, the overlord will suffer from the enemy on his back, not only will he not be able to prevent Zhong Tian from escaping, but he will also have to be forcibly occupied by the Mo army, so that I will lose the southern gateway with a strong wind!"

"This ......" Qiu Zhen said something that Tang Yin didn't expect. War is not something that can be done by charging into battle and gaining superiority on the frontal battlefield, but it is also necessary to take into account all kinds of factors, and it requires the commander-in-chief's foresight to take into account the overall situation, so that we can win the battle steadily and achieve the predetermined goal.

The Tianyuan army went all the way south, and the capture of Yancheng was secondary, and the elimination of Zhong Tian's forces was the main goal, if only Yancheng was captured in the end, but Zhong Tian successfully escaped, this war could only be regarded as half won at best.

Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan seriously considered Qiu Zhen's words, nodded in unison, and then asked: "What Lord Qiu said is extremely true! It's just that you also said that the relationship between the two countries has always been good, and if Ning asks for help from Mozambique, Mozambique will not help, how can we stop Mozambique from sending troops to help?"

This is also the question that Tang Yin wants to ask.

Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "Mozambique is very strong, and the relationship with Ning is also very good, but there is one point, Shao Ting, the monarch of Mozambique, is indecisive and indecisive. Now, you should send an eloquent envoy to Mozambique with a lot of money, first, to reconcile relations with Mozambique, and even promise to form an alliance with it, even if it is to cede land and make offerings every year, and second, to buy off the important ministers of Mozambique in private, let them speak for us, and prevent Mozambique from sending troops to help. ”

Tang Yin nodded while listening at first, but when he heard that he was going to cede land and pay tribute to reach an alliance with Mozambique, his head shook like a rattle, and said: "Of course you can form an alliance, but if you want to cut land and pay tribute, it is impossible!"

Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "This is just an expedient measure, when we eliminate Zhong Tian's forces, as for whether to keep the original promise, that is, we have the final say." ”

"Oh......" Tang Yin frowned and muttered.

Qiu Zhen said again: "During this time, I have been collecting and studying the situation of the Mozambican royal court, and now it is very interesting that the Mozambican royal court is forming two factions for the establishment of the prince, fighting openly and secretly. The eldest prince of Mozambique was born blind, basically there is no possibility of inheriting the throne, the most promising is the second prince Shao Fang and the third prince Shao Bo, because Shao Bo has always been close to Ning, so Ning Guo also set up Shao Bo as the prince, adults can take advantage of this to contact and win over Shao Fang, and strive to make him stand on our side. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tang Yin smiled. The controversy between the establishment of the reserve and the prince, whether at home or abroad, has always existed in all dynasties, and it seems that it is no exception here. He pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "It seems that I need to go myself!"

Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan were all stunned, and they all looked at him.

Tang Yin said: "As Lord Qiu said, it is very important to win over the Mozambican State, whether it is to eliminate Zhong Tian or use troops against Ning in the future, the Mozambican State will not cause chaos in the south, it can remove our worries, no matter who is sent, it is not as sincere as me to go in person, and if you want to win over Yingbu, it must be safe for me to come forward in person." ”

As the commander of the Tianyuan Army, it is naturally good for Tang Yin to personally send an envoy to the Mo Kingdom, but there is one point, the Mo Kingdom is still inclined to the Ning State now, if Tang Yin rushes over, there are many crises, and if he can't even see the face of the King of Mo, he will have to be captured and sent to the Ning Kingdom.

Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan said in unison: "My lord, this is ...... It's too dangerous, isn't it?"

Tang Yin didn't care, and said: "Don't worry about this, even if you can't negotiate, it's still okay for me to protect myself." ”

"En!" Now everyone is very confident in Tang Yin's self-preservation ability, as a profound cultivator of the dark lineage, even a top master like Shangguan Yuanrang may not be able to compare to his ability to protect his life.

Qiu Zhen pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "My lord, I'll go with you!"

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Lord Qiu is better to stay in Xibai City, if both of us leave, the army will be gone, and I am afraid that Zhong Tian will take advantage of it." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zong Yuan and said, "This time, Mr. Zong Yuan will walk with me! I wonder if Mr. Zong Yuan has the guts?"

Zong Yuan's heart was shocked, and he only thought about it slightly, and then he arched his hand and said: "My subordinates are willing to accompany my lord, go up to Dao Mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and do not give up!"

The reason why Tang Yin chose Zong Yuan was because Zong Yuan had the ability to perceive people's hearts and was very good at figuring out other people's thoughts, which was too important for him to win over Shao Fang and buy off other royal ministers.

And Zong Yuan is also a person who dares to gamble, he chose to take refuge in Tang Yin at the beginning, and now it is also a gamble to accompany Tang Yin to envoy to Mozambique. Now he has a clear view of the situation in the Wind Country, after Zhong Tian is destroyed, it must be the Tianyuan Army that dominates the Wind Country, and Tang Yin, who controls the Tianyuan Army, will also become the new king of the Wind Country, and there is no reason why he should not hold on to this big tree and give up this opportunity to make himself the hero of the founding of the country.

Tang Yin and Zong Yuan hit it off and decided to send an envoy to Mozambique, of course, for the sake of safety, Tang Yin could not take Zong Yuan alone, and decided to bring the two Shangguan brothers and the dark arrow personnel, in addition, they could not go openly, they needed to mix in the caravan to hide people's eyes, and the Mozambican horse merchants, who often had dealings with the Tianyuan army, were the best candidates.

The four of them quickly decided on the specific plan to send an envoy to Mozambique, and then, Qiu Zhen suggested that the spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Network should be sent to Mozambique first, firstly, to familiarize themselves with the situation and environment of Mozambique, and secondly, to respond and take care of Tang Yin. Tang Yin accepted Qiu Zhen's opinion, sent someone to find Lotte and Ai Jia, and explained the matter to him, Lotte and Ai Jia did not hesitate and immediately started to do it.

Tang Yin originally planned to take advantage of the time when the army was resting in Xibaicheng to relax himself, but when Qiu Zhen saw this, he had to go to Mozambique again to deal with the royal court of Mozambique.

After discussing the matter, it was already noon, Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the others were about to eat together, at this time, a guard walked over quickly, first bowed to Tang Yin, and then said respectfully: "My lord, Liu Zi came to meet your lord!"

The guard said that this Liu Zi is rich and noble in Xibaicheng, although he has no official title, but he has a strong family wealth, and he is also a well-known good person, often helping the poor and beggars, and has a high reputation among the people of Xibaicheng.

When the celebration banquet was held, Tang Yin had seen this person and had some impressions of him, and when he heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said, "Please!"

"My lord, would you like to come to the main hall or here?"

Tang Yin said casually: "Please come here!"

"Yes, sir!" the guard agreed, and turned and walked away.

It didn't take long for Liu Zi to be led over by the guards. When he saw Tang Yin, he walked forward quickly, bowed down, and said, "The villain has seen the adult!"

Tang Yin has gradually become accustomed to worldly politeness, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu is here, I don't know what you are doing?"

Liu Zi is only in his early thirties, handsome and chic, and his aura is magnificent, and he can be called a talent.

He smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Tonight, the villain has prepared a banquet in the mansion, and I have come to invite the adults to participate, and I hope the adults will not postpone it no matter what!"

"Oh......" Tang Yin pondered for a moment, smiled leisurely, and said: "Brother Liu came to invite him personally, how could I not go!" He didn't want to participate in the banquet in Liu's mansion, but he had to show his pro-people side, Liu Zi had a high reputation among the people, since everyone came to invite him personally, he couldn't refute Liu Zi's face too much.

Getting Tang Yin's will, Liu Zi was overjoyed, with a thick smile on his face, and bowed his hand again and again: "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Tang Yin, as the commander of the 500,000 Tianyuan Army, controls the four counties of Tianyuan, Guannan, Jinguang, and Lehu, and can personally go to his own mansion as a guest, what a great honor it is, and others will be impressed by him in the future, Liu Zi is naturally full of joy.

"Hehe!" Tang Yin chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Liu is polite!"

"The villain has nothing else to do, so let's leave for the time being, and welcome the adults in the mansion at night!"

"I'll be there!"

"Farewell!"

"Brother Liu, go slowly!"

After Liu Zi left, Qiu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said to Tang Yin: "Liu Zi's prestige is high, and my lord has a good relationship with him, whether our army is collecting food or raising materials in Xibaicheng in the future, it will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Tang Yin sighed lightly and said quietly: "There are many counties under jurisdiction, and there are many troubles, but I now miss the days of being a county in Pingyuan County." ”

Qiu Zhen looked up and smiled, and said with another meaning: "Now is just the beginning, in the future, I am afraid that the affairs of adults will be even busier!"

Tang Yin smiled bitterly and was speechless, he understood what Qiu Zhen meant, now he is only in charge of the four counties, if he really sits on the throne of the Wind King in the future, he will be in charge of the twelve counties of the country!

In the evening, Tang Yin was invited by Liu Zizhi to attend a dinner in Liu's mansion.

The Liu family is a rich party in the West Hundred Cities, a big family with a lot of wealth, and its mansion is not much smaller than the county government, when Tang Yin fell, there were many carriages parked outside the door of Liu's mansion, and it could be seen that Liu Zi invited a lot of VIPs.

Knowing that Tang Yin had arrived, Liu Zi and the guests who had arrived came out to welcome him in. Seeing Tang Yin, Liu Zi and the others bowed down to salute, Tang Yin was also polite and easy-going, immediately turned over and dismounted, helped Liu Zi up and waved his hand to everyone and said: "In private, you don't have to be too polite!"
