Fan Min stayed in Tang Yin's home for a long time. Normally, Tang Yin would not look for him, and the latter would not look for him either.
A few days later, Le Tian and Ai Jia, who were secretly hiding in Bessa City, returned.
After knowing that the two of them had returned, Tang Yin was ecstatic, and immediately summoned the two of them.
After seeing him, before Le Tian and Ai Jia had time to greet him, Tang Yin couldn't help but ask: "Have you finished investigating the situation with your Beast King Town?"
The moment Le Tian and Ai Jia returned to the Heng City, they were summoned by Tang Yin. They did not even have the time to change their clothes. The two of them nodded together and said, "Sir, everything has been investigated!"
"Oh? "What's the specific situation?"
Ai Jia took out a goatskin map from her bosom and handed it over to Tang Yin, saying seriously: "Master, this is the map of Beast King Town."
Tang Yin took the map and opened it up for closer inspection. The map was obviously drawn by Ai Jia at the last moment, although the drawing was simple and crude, it was still understandable to others.
The distance between Beast King Town and the Feng Country was indeed not too far, it was only a distance of a hundred Li or so, if one rode fast, it would only take half a day's worth of time. There were also simple city walls and defensive structures around the area, but there were a relatively small garrison army inside. Maybe it was because of the tragic Bessa Army defeat at the border city, but the number of garrison troops had also been affected. Currently, there were only three thousand odd people. The most important thing was that the Feng Army had never entered the borders of the Bessa, so the vigilance of the Beast King Town was very weak. The army's discipline inside was also very loose.
Tang Yin looked at the map while Le Tian and Ai Jia explained in detail.
Although he did not say anything, he kept everything that the two of them had described to him in his mind. At the same time, his brain was working at full speed.
When Le Tian and Ai Jia came to an end, Tang Yin asked, "Are there any strongholds of the Savage Soldier near there?" This was a very critical issue. Beast King Town only had around three thousand people guarding it, and was easy to deal with, but if there was a stronghold of Savage Soldier nearby, then it would be very troublesome if they immediately rushed over to provide reinforcements.
She did not expect Tang Yin to suddenly ask something outside of Beast King Town, so Ai Jia was not prepared. She frowned and said: "About this … Subordinate has yet to investigate … "
Before he finished speaking, Le Tian took a step forward and said: "Fifty kilometers northwest of Beast King Town, there is still a town. The specifics are unknown, but the size of the town is very large, so I believe there should be quite a few Savage Soldier s inside."
Ai Jia looked at Le Tian in shock. She never thought that Le Tian would actually send the Subordinate to a place fifty miles away. She whispered in dissatisfaction, "So you knew that my lord would ask this question. Why didn't you remind me?"
Le Tian smiled bitterly, he was not a worm in Tang Yin's stomach, how could he know that Tang Yin would ask this question? He said: "Even though we have obtained a Bessa City map, it's too general, and we don't know if there were any errors in the verification, so I plan to personally draw up a map and take this opportunity to infiltrate Bessa City. I will dispatch my subordinates to scout out the situation, and do not deliberately check if there are any Savage Country fortresses around the Beast King Town."
Ai Jia was not convinced, she still wanted to say more, but Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand, interrupting her. He then said to Le Tian, "Le Tian has done well, and was also very meticulous in his work. While he was speaking, he continued to speak to Ai Jia, whose expression was not well, "Hopefully the next time, you will be able to be as outstanding as General Le."
The underlying meaning was that Ai Jia was not as good as Le Tian.
Hearing Tang Yin's words, even if Ai Jia was unwilling, it was not good to say anything more. After all, the facts were laid out in front of him, and Le Tian's investigation was indeed superior to hers. She secretly glared at Le Tian, then lowered her head and remained silent. However, she had already made up her mind that she would definitely defeat Le Tian the next time.
In terms of ability, Ai Jia was indeed inferior to Le Tian, but the former had a spirit of never admitting defeat, and was extremely hardworking. This made Tang Yin extremely impressed, and it was precisely because of this that he kept this intelligence group of her, Ai Jia, and did not cancel it just because she wanted to save money.
Tang Yin looked at the map of Beast King Town and pondered for a moment. Then, he raised his head and said to the servants below: "Immediately gather all the generals, and come to my place to discuss military affairs!"
"Yes sir!" The servant agreed and quickly ran out.
Not long after, Qiu Zhen, the other regiment leaders, as well as Cheng Jin, Xiao Muqing and the rest arrived one after another.
Right now, Tang Yin had more and more capable people under his command. When the meeting started, the hall was also packed.
Tang Yin ordered the servants to remove all the chairs in the hall, and then placed two tables in the center. Everyone stood around, including himself. In Tang Yin's opinion, the military's meeting was not a tea ceremony, there was no need to sit down and chat. If there was a need to discuss, they could get to the point.
He placed the map that Ai Jia had drawn on the table in the middle, looked around at the crowd and said: "General Le and General Ai have just returned from Savage Country, and are about a hundred miles away from Fringe City, there is a very important military town called Beast King Town, and every time the Savage Soldier invades our territory, they would first pass through this place to replenish themselves, what do you guys think?"
Gu Yue clenched his fists tightly and said sternly: "Master, since this town is so important to Savage Country, we should get rid of it as soon as possible, so as to prevent any future troubles."
"General Gu is saying that my Pingyuan Army will invade the territory and attack the Beast King Town?" Zhang Zhou asked.
"That's right."
"That's not right!" Zhang Zhou shook his head: "Doing this is too risky, my Feng Army has never invaded the Savage Country, this time we are going deeper into the Savage Country to do battle 100 li away, it is too dangerous, if anything goes wrong, we will be completely annihilated." Zhang Zhou was an elder of the Pingyuan Army, so his thoughts were relatively conservative. In his view, hacking into the Savage Country was tantamount to seeking death.
Gu Yue was a typical radical. He said seriously, "Last time, we were defeated by the barbarians in Fringe City. Lord led us to chase the enemy for dozens of miles, but everything was fine. From this, it can be seen that the barbarian soldiers are only mediocre.
"That's different!"
"Nothing's different."
Tang Yin was in support of Gu Yue, and his plan to ambush the Beast King Town was something he had long planned out. But he knew, at the moment, there were many people like Zhang Zhou who held old ideas in their Pingyuan Army, if he could not be convinced, it was very likely that there would be differences within the army.
He winked at Le Tian.
The latter understood, and said: "The Beast King Town is only about a hundred kilometers away from our country, and it isn't considered far. Even if it's an infantry unit, it would still be able to arrive in less than two days, and on the road, there are no Savage Soldier checkpoints or Savage Soldier fortresses, and most importantly, we have never taken the initiative to attack the territory of the Savage Country, so we are not prepared at all. Besides, there aren't many defending troops.
Hearing that, Zhang Zhou grinned, and said: "But, when our army is moving towards the Beast King Town, what should we do if the enemy detects us? Even if we failed to detect them, even if we really succeeded in ambushing and annihilating the Savage Soldier, how will we be able to return? "In two days' time, this will be enough for Savage Soldier to gather a large amount of troops and chase and stop our troops. Once we fall into enemy's encirclement, our soldiers will not be able to return …"
"This won't happen!" Before Zhang Zhou could finish his bragging, Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "We will use the Mo Country mounted on horses to mount a sneak attack on Beast King Town. If we go back and forth, we won't even need a day's worth of time!"
"Huh?" Zhang Zhou's eyes widened in shock. How could they have Mo Country in their hands?
Tang Yin smiled slightly, and said: "I have already ordered four thousand war horses from the Mo Country Horse merchant, within three days, these war horses will be able to arrive at Heng City, at that time, my Army will send out four thousand cavalrymen, and sneak attack Beast King Town, let alone not being discovered by Savage Soldier scouts, even if they found out, the speed of their report will not be faster than our horses, General Zhang, what do you think?"
"This …" Zhang Zhou rubbed his chin, and muttered: "If there is a Mo Country War Horse, this battle would be possible. However, if we use four thousand cavalrymen to attack the three thousand odd Savage Soldier, even if we win, our losses will not be small!"
"That's right!" Tang Yin nodded, and followed his words: "So, I will be going personally."
"Pu!" Zhang Zhou almost vomited blood. In the past, when he was a County Guardian, he could not even hide from the Savage Soldier. However, Tang Yin, as the rule of this county, liked to gather at places with a lot of Savage Soldier.
"My lord!" Zhang Zhou said in a serious tone: "War Horses with Mo Country can be used, but our army can consider launching a sneak attack on Savage Country, but if Master wishes to personally go, this … This is too dangerous, there's no need for sire to go in person! "
Tang Yin shook his head and said: "With me here, the warriors below will not fear Savage Soldier and can fight bravely. Only by doing this will we be able to minimize our losses. Mo Country's war horses are not easy to obtain, and my Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army's life is even more precious. If any general is confident in their abilities, even if they are stronger than me, this time, I can yield to them! "
After Zhang Zhou finished listening, he immediately shut his mouth and did not say anymore. Tang Yin's words were touching, but he was just using them to pressure them. He was a county magistrate, and as a subordinate, who would have the guts to say that they were stronger than him?
After pausing for three seconds, while no one was talking, Tang Yin continued, "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is decided. I will bring three thousand cavalrymen to attack Beast King Town, in addition, Xiao Shen Jun's army will command a thousand cavalrymen, and they will first head towards a distance of five kilometers northwest of Beast King Town. Set up an ambush here, if Savage Soldier escapes your way, you must not show any mercy, and kill them all! "
Xiao Muqing didn't understand why Tang Yin wanted him to lie in ambush in the northwest of Beast King Town. He was very smart and had a lot of experience.
Tang Yin laughed, thinking that he was clever, he nodded and replied: "A town without a fortress, but with Savage Soldier!"
There's even a Savage Soldier town near the Beast King Town? When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
