Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun's minds shook, they looked at each other, then lowered their heads, remained silent, and thought of their own matters.

It was good that he had found someone to command the Member of the three families, so he did not need to worry about Tang Yin taking over the troops but who should he look for instead?

Although Liang Xing himself could not lead the troops, he had an outstanding son, Liang Qi. If he had to choose one from the three families, then it would be Liang Qi, who had the same idea as him, Ziyang Haochun. Wu Yu was happier than the two of them, although the Wu Family was flourishing and the sun was falling, the two daughters were not simple people, especially Wu Mei, whose relationship with Tang Yin was not shallow, from the fact that the latter dared to take the risk and enter the palace to save people, it was clear that, if Tang Yin chose someone, he would choose Wu Ying instead.

The three of them had their own ulterior motives and each of them relied on their own. After a moment of silence, they all raised their heads and smiled to Tang Yin: "Alright, let's do as Master Tang says!"

Tang Yin was secretly delighted, he pretended to be calm and asked: "Then, three Masters, who do you think is suitable to be the candidate?"

Without waiting for the others to speak, Ziyang Haochun spoke first: "Of course, this one shall be the candidate." He proudly looked at Liang Xing and Wu Yu, and continued to speak: "My Ziyang Family have been used as generals for many generations, leading troops in battle is naturally no problem for me. Prime Minister Liang, Prime Minister Wu, what do you say?"

"Humph!" Liang Xing snorted and said slowly: "Back then, the generals who led the two hundred thousand strong army and lost almost all of their troops to the Hedong Region were none other than the generals of your Ziyang Family. How much time has passed since then and the memories are still fresh in your mind.

"You …" Ziyang Haochun's face was flushed red. He stood up straight and glared at Liang Xing.

"General Ziyang, stop fighting. The commanders of the Member of our three families can be anyone, but they definitely aren't people of your Ziyang Family." At this time, Wu Yu interrupted them and said. This time, it was rare for him to be on the same side as Liang Xing, so he planned to first eliminate the Ziyang Family and reduce one of his opponents.

"Humph!" Ziyang Haochun snorted angrily and sat back down on the chair, his arms crossed as he glared at Liang Xing and Wu Yu. He wanted to see who the last person was!

Wu Yu smiled at Tang Yin, and said: "Those who are unaware of the situation, those who are spectating know, I'm afraid we cannot find a suitable candidate for it. Master Tang, this matter will be decided by you!"

"Oh …" Tang Yin muttered to himself, shook his head and said, "That's not good!"

"Nothing bad!" Ziyang Haochun said loudly: "It would be best for Master Tang to pick a convincing person!" Now that Liang Xing and Wu Yu had clearly excluded him, he could only place his hopes on Tang Yin.

Hearing his words, Tang Yin nodded, as if he reluctantly accepted his words.

He muttered to himself: "Although the Ziyang Family is the general for many generations, in the Hedong battle back then, he did indeed lose miserably. If the people from the Ziyang Family were to be the marshal, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to convince the masses." With that, he looked at Wu Yu and said: "The two women of Wu Family, are both cultured and martial arts, and are extremely heroic, but in order to become a general, your words are obviously lacking in power, not to mention the military is extremely difficult, it's better for a girl to stay far away from the army." Just as he was about to speak, Tang Yin continued: "Although Prime Minister Liang is not suited to lead troops, his son Liang Qi is a genius at leading troops. Especially back in the Tong Gate battle, he had once greatly defeated Ning Jun, and his prestige in the army is extremely high.

When he finished speaking, Liang Xing was so happy that his mouth couldn't close. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Tang Yin, who had a grudge with him, could actually choose the person he was talking about with Liang Family. and Ziyang Haochun, on the other hand, were trembling with anger, especially the former, who never would have thought that Tang Yin did not lean towards their Wu Family and instead pushed such an important position to his political enemy.

He wanted to stand up and oppose the decision, but he was the one who proposed for Tang Yin to pick the right person, how could he go back on his words now? Wu Yu's heart was filled with rage, especially when he saw the complacent and smiling Liang Xing beside him, he was even more infuriated. With a thought, even if his Wu Family was insufficient to control a soldier, he would definitely not let his Liang Family get off the hook.

If left or right, they would have to hand over the military power to Tang Yin. Perhaps, the latter might not even dare to take the military power from him!

Thinking up to here, he said in a serious tone: "I have no objections to the candidate proposed by Master Tang, but rather than letting Liang Qi command the army, it would be better to just hand it over to Master Tang for him to handle. I have thirty thousand soldiers on my Wu Family right now, and are willing to give it to Master Tang to command and obey Master Tang's orders!"

Hearing that, without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Ziyang Haochun followed along: "This old man is the same! thirty thousand people from my Liang Family are also willing to be transferred to Master Tang. " Although he was not as cunning as Wu Yu thought, he knew that Wu Yu had always been. Since he was willing to say it, then he would definitely follow him.

Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun, these two old cunning foxes, would rather give the military authority to Tang Yin than to himself. However, the two of them wanted to hand over the military authority to Tang Yin, as long as the military authority over Liang Family could remain in his hands.

Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun took the initiative to hand over the military power to Tang Yin, and this was exactly what Tang Yin wanted the most. This matter, he did not give in at all, and immediately cupped his hands towards the two and said: "Since Prime Minister Wu and General Ziyang are so trusting, then it is better to obey. I will take charge of the Member of the two of you.

He had only let them go on purpose, thinking that Tang Yin, who had been single-handedly promoted by and had an ambiguous relationship with his own daughter, would definitely not dare to take his military power. Who knew that Tang Yin did not leave any face for him, and did not even give him the chance to go back on his words.

Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun were both stunned, and couldn't recover from the shock for a long time. Seeing that, Liang Xing secretly laughed until his stomach was bursting, Wu Yu thought that he was clever, and thought that Tang Yin would favor him, so what happened? However, he was made a fool of by Tang Yin. He would not let go of this good opportunity to add insult to injury, and said repeatedly: "Fine, fine, the Wu Family and Ziyang Family will be taken over by the Master Tang, and my Liang Family will be commanded by my son Liang Qi, so it's settled then!"

Liang Xing only wanted to weaken Wu and Zi Yang, but who would have thought that if these two families were to be weakened, how could his Liang Family be at ease?

Indeed.

Not even two days after the meeting, Tang Yin had yet to officially accept the Member of the Wu and Zi Yang Families. On the other hand, Liang Qi led the regiment leaders of the Liang Family Department to pay respects to Tang Yin, indicating that they were willing to listen to his commands and follow his orders. Tang Yin then accepted, bringing all four of the divisions under his command into the Sanshui Army realm, and ascended Liang Qi as the overall commander of the Sanshui Army.

The original commander of the Sanshui Army, Bai Yong, held the position of Deputy Commander.

Bai Yong was not too concerned about him suddenly being demoted to a superior position, but he was very clear about his own strength, at most he was a general, not a handsome one. However, Liang Qi was different, although he was young, he had a noble background, and his reputation as a soldier was widespread.

Of course, he also understood Tang Yin's intention. Being able to become Liang Qi's assistant had more of an effect of supervision over him.

Liang Qi suddenly had Liang Family and sided with Tang Yin, so Liang Xing did not know about this until the order was passed down. Only then did he realise that his son was also the commander of the Sanshui Army.

Liang Qi was the commander of the Sanshui Army, and the number of troops he was in charge of had increased, but his reputation had plummeted, and he was now Tang Yin's subordinate. In the future, he would be working for Tang Yin, and doing services for Tang Yin, where would Liang Family put its face?

But things had already gotten to this point, and he didn't even have the chance to stop them. Only now did he realize that he had been tricked, and not only him, it could even be said that Liang Wu and Zi Yang had all been tricked by Tang Yin.

The three of them had fought openly and secretly for their entire lives, with each of them being more shrewd than the other. Yet, they had seen that Tang Yin had misjudged them, and did not expect his ambitions to be this huge, to actually plot against the military power of his three families. What was even more surprising was that even Liang Qi had bribed the most intelligent Liang Family disciples.

No matter how much, Wu Yu, and how much regret and resentment Ziyang Haochun had, the three families had indeed handed over the military power on their own, and it was not forced onto them by Tang Yin. Although the Member under their command felt it to be unfathomable, they could not say anything.

The progress of the matter was much smoother than Tang Yin had imagined. He did not use any extreme methods or force to force them, and only used the scheming and scheming between Liang, Wu, and Ziyang to easily deceive the three families and completely eliminate his worries.

He had also made the appropriate adjustments to the ten divisions of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang. He did not make any moves against the regiment commanders of the divisions, but instead transferred all of their captains away.

Right now, the expansion of the Tian Yuan Army was too fast and its strength had increased by a lot. Basically, every legion had a vacancy of a Regiment Commander or a Vice Regiment Commander, and Tang Yin's transfer of a thousand-man commander would just barely make up for these vacancies. At the same time, it would greatly weaken Liang, Wu, and Ziyang, these ten Regiments' faction.

A thousand-man commander played an important role in the legion, and was also the core skeleton of a legion. If a thousand-man commander was taken away and replaced with his trusted aides, the legion would basically be under his control.

Tang Yin and Zhong Tian had also made appropriate adjustments to their subordinate groups' loyalty, but the results couldn't be said to be the same.

The promotion people were happy, the non-promotion people were envious. Everyone felt that they were not discriminated against or excluded by Tang Yin, that there was a chance and space for everyone to raise their own position, and that it was a place where they could make a huge show of themselves.

As there was no sense of rejection, the morale of the troops was quickly stabilized. The ten legions that had changed owners seemed so natural and calm.

To achieve the same goal using a slightly different wrist, the result would be completely different. This was the difference between Zhong Tian and himself.
