Tang Yin entered the county guard mansion under the guidance of Zhao Hui, his county guard mansion and Yuhe's county guard mansion cannot be compared, the official residence is not large, and the decoration inside is also very simple. Tang Yin watched as he walked, and his impression of Zhao Hui changed a lot.

After taking a seat in the hall, Zhao Hui enthusiastically served tea and snacks, Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is welcome," Then, he changed his words and said: "I plan to let Tianyuan County be stationed in the area of Sanchi City, I don't know if Lord Zhao can make it convenient." ”

"Oh, Sanchi City?" Zhao Hui was stunned. Sanchi City is located in the south of Guannan County, not far from Jinguang County, and it is the only way from Jinguang County to Tongzhou, he swallowed and foamed, and asked, "How many troops is Lord Tang going to station near Sanji City?"

"I'm the whole army of Tianyuan County. ”

"That'...... How much?"

"Four hundred thousand. ”

Zhao Hui took a breath, although the geographical location of Sanchi City is very important, but the city is not very large, how can it fit an army of 400,000 people? He said with an embarrassed face: "Lord Tang, Sanchi City is still less than five miles, I am afraid it will be difficult to accommodate 400,000 soldiers of Tianyuan County!"

Tang Yin smiled and said, "As I said just now, my Tianyuan Army is not stationed in the city, but outside the city, Lord Zhao, please rest assured, our army will not harass the people in the city, and it will not have any impact on Sanchi City." ”

Zhao Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's the case, it's no problem, Lord Tang does he need my help?"

Tang Yin nodded and said, "I only need Lord Zhao to help me seal the (harmony) lock 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, and I can also take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Yancheng directly, but if this battle is lost, I'm afraid, no one will be able to reverse the overall situation and restore my Feng Country!"

When Zhao Hui heard this, his face suddenly straightened, and he hurriedly said: "Although Lord Tang is relieved, if you want to say that I can't help sending troops to fight, but assisting the brothers of Tianyuan County to secretly station outside Sanchi City, it is not a problem to lock the news strictly." ”

Tang Yin was overjoyed, and arched his hand and said, "If Lord Zhao can really do this, it will be regarded as a great contribution to my gale." ”

"Oh, how dare you, how dare you!" Zhao Hui stood up, bowed again and again, and said: "Crusading against the rebels and restoring the strong wind is also the obligation of the lower ones as a wind minister. ”

With the approval of Zhao Hui, the county head, Tang Yin was relieved, but he was only half relieved, although Zhao Hui said it sounded good, but whether he would do what he said, or whether he would secretly tell Zhong Tian, no one dared to guarantee.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Lord Zhao's loyalty is admirable, in order to ensure the safety of Lord Zhao, I will bring 10,000 cavalry to live in Tongzhou City temporarily, so that you can also protect Lord Zhao and his family nearby, Lord Zhao, what do you mean?"

To say that it is to protect, in fact, is to leave 10,000 cavalry to threaten itself and take himself and his family hostage. ，

How could Zhao Hui not see Tang Yin's intentions, although Tang Yin's distrust made people feel uncomfortable, but he could also understand Tang Yin's situation, he was now almost a county to compete against two countries, which could not tolerate the slightest loss, once there was a difference, it would be difficult for him to turn over.

Zhao Hui nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Tang is really thoughtful." Since this is the case, there will be no postponement in the next place, and the 10,000 cavalry of Lord Tang will stay, and some of them can also be divided into my mansion. ”

Well. This Zhao Hui is very good! Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and said, "Then Lord Lao Zhao bothered to take care of these soldiers." ”

"Hehe, Lord Tang is polite. ”

Tang Yin brought these 10,000 cavalry to Tongzhou, and when he returned, there was only Shangguan Yuanrang left by his side.

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

He knows too well the temperament of these dignitaries, he is now going to fight head-on with Zhong Tian and the Ningguo coalition army, the rear is empty, if he doesn't take good care of the people of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang, if he doesn't get it right, he will make some mess for himself, and then it will be difficult for him to take care of it, wouldn't it be troublesome? ! At this time, Tang Yin was not merciless at all, and even Wu Mei was sent back to Shunzhou by him.

After doing this, he also specially found Liang Qi and explained to him, Liang Qi was so shrewd that he could naturally understand Tang Yin's approach, but instead of having a grudge, he also supported Tang Yin's approach.

He is very familiar with his father, in fact, Tang Yin's concerns are not superfluous, if Liang Xing is allowed to stay in Tianguan, maybe he will really take advantage of Tang Yin to fight in the front, and he will make a mutiny or something in the back. Settle Liang Xing in Shunzhou, and Liang Qi can also feel at ease.

After dealing with this matter, Tang Yin gave an order. Only 30,000 troops were left in Tuanguan, and the rest of the 400,000 troops all went south and entered Guannan County. ，

Since Zhao Hui had been approached in advance, the latter opened the convenient door at this time, put all the officers and soldiers in the fortress along the way into the car, and returned to Tongzhou.

Even if there is no longer a Southern army on the road, the size of the 400,000-strong army is so large that it is difficult to attract attention on the march.

After consideration, Tang Yin decided not to take the official road, but to take the rarely visited towns, and bypass the towns along the way, so that although the speed of the march became slower, the secrecy was much improved, and in addition, he ordered the whole army to rest during the day and rush at night, which was also to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent news from leaking.

Sanchi City is not big, the length and width are not five miles, there is no moat outside the city, there are not many residents in the city, but it is very lively, people come and go, there is an endless stream, most of them are businessmen or tourists passing by here.

To the east and west of Miike Castle are dense forests, and these two large forests cover a wide area that covers the mountains in the distance, and the trees are thick and hard, and most of the wood production of Kannan County comes from here.

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

Tianyuan County stationed in this woodland on the east side of Sanchi City is the Sanshui Army headed by Liang Qi and Bai Yong, and now the Sanshui Army has four more corps of the Liang family, which has increased from the original five corps to nine corps, close to 100,000 people. Stationed on the west side of Sanchi City was the 300,000 Tianyuan Army led by Tang Yin, including 100,000 Plains Army, 110,000 Chifeng Army, and 100,000 directly subordinate troops.

After setting up a camp in the depths of the forest, Tang Yin immediately anxious about the commanders of the various armies and the staff of the subordinates.

Now there are more than 40 corps of the Tianyuan Army, and the corps commander and deputy corps commander alone are close to 100 people, and the Chinese military tent is far from being able to accommodate so many people, and now that the corps has a commander, Tang Yin only needs to find the commanders when he meets again.

At this time, Tang Yin stood in the center of the big tent, and on his left hand side were all military generals in the army, including Xiao Muqing, commander of the Plains Army, Liang Qi, commander of the Sanshui Army, Li Wei, commander of the Chifeng Army, Gu Yue and Peng Haochu, commanders of the directly subordinate army, Lotte and Ai Jia who were in charge of spying and intelligence, and Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and other civilian officials and staff members on Tang Yin's right.

When discussing military affairs, Tang Yin didn't like to sit and talk, not to mention that now it was camped in the forest, the big tent was simple, just surrounded by tent cloth on all sides, raised his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then turned back, looked around at everyone, and first asked Lotte and Ai Jia: "Where has the enemy army been now?"

Lotte Masase said: "The enemy army has now arrived in Yuyang. "Yuyang is an important town in the north of Jinguang County, and if you go north after Yuyang, you can enter the territory of Guannan County in less than two days.

Ai Jia added: "It was the previous army of the enemy army that arrived in Yuyang. ”

After a pause, she explained: "Although Zhong Tian and Ning Jun joined forces to attack this time, Ning Jun seems to have deliberately let Zhong Tian's army explore our reality first, so he deliberately fell behind. The commander in charge of the unified army on Zhong Tian's side is Zhong Wen, that is, Zhong Tian's second son, this person is very timid, and divides the 350,000 army under his command into two parts, the 200,000 local army as the vanguard, and he leads the rest of the army, 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, whoever has a good strategy, tell me quickly!"

"Zhong Wenxiao'er divided 350,000 people into two and scattered his troops, which is undoubtedly his own humiliation!" A staff member named Han Ying sneered, and said to Tang Yin: "My lord, from Jinguang County to Tongzhou, you must pass through Sanchi, and to Sanchi, there are dense forests along the road, our army can set up an ambush halfway, as long as the 200,000 vanguard army comes in, we will surround and annihilate it." Although the local army is numerous, it is temporarily gathered together, each has its own commander, once it is encircled, if it does not attack, it must first be in chaos, and then our army will attack from all sides, and it will be effortless to sweep away the 200,000 local army. ”

Tang Yin nodded as he listened, feeling that what Han Ying said was very reasonable and indeed a feasible strategy.

Peng Haochu took a step out of the final general, and said to Tang Yin: "My lord, is this plan inappropriate?"

Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Han Ying frowned first, squinted at Peng Haochu with cold eyes, and asked, "What does General Peng think is wrong with my plan?"

Peng Haochu said with a straight face: "It was Zhong Tian and his lackeys who rebelled, not the 200,000 local troops, these people are innocent, the reason why the expedition to Tianyuan County is not voluntary, it is forced by Zhong Tian to come, if it is according to the strategy of Mr. (the honorific title of the staff), how many people will be killed and injured by these 200,000 local troops?

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath, feeling that what Peng Haochu said was very right, if the 200,000 local troops were comprehensively besieged, it would also be a huge loss for the Wind Country.

"Hmph!" Han Falcon couldn't hold his face, snorted coldly, and said: "I think General Peng was born in the local army, so he is speaking for these local army, right?!
