Peng Haochu's face changed slightly, but he did not argue with Han Xing. He bowed deeply to Tang Yin and said sternly: "Master, we have not met with any local army, please reconsider!"

"Master, the local army follows Zhong Tian's orders and commands. They are Zhong Tian's lackeys and are villains. The falcon refused to budge as it said in a tit for tat manner.

Tang Yin was in a difficult position, with two hundred thousand soldiers, if he surrounded them and killed them, then that would be equivalent to killing the Windman, and if he did not exterminate them, the soldiers would obey Zhong Tian's orders, and they would be his enemies on the battlefield.

After thinking about it, Tang Yin felt that he would rather slaughter them recklessly than to leave behind such a disaster of two hundred thousand.

Just as he was about to speak, Qiu Zhen cupped his hands together and said: "Master Han and General Peng's words are reasonable, but the local army is too numerous, if we want to surround them in the wild, it won't be easy, in my opinion, it's better like this, our army can set up an ambush along the way, but we don't need too many soldiers, only fifty thousand officers is enough, the rest of us will stay in our current camp. When the locals advance towards the Sanchi City, don't move, let them pass, and let the locals enter the Sanchi City. After the locals enter the city, our army will suddenly surround the city, trap the other party, and urge the locals to surrender. If they are willing to surrender, it would naturally be for the best. It would save us the trouble of killing each other, and if they are unwilling to surrender, it would mean that the local army has wholeheartedly pledged their allegiance to Zhong Tian. We naturally do not need to show any mercy. There is no danger to defend Sanchi City, no city defense facilities, and no food stores within the city. If our troops were to attack forcefully, it would be easy to break into the city. As for that wave of ambushing troops, the goal was to block the middle ground army that Zhong Wen commanded, so that they would be unable to quickly rescue the trapped local army. "May I know what do the generals and lords think of my solution?"

After hearing Qiu Zhen's plan, everyone nodded their heads, thinking that his plan was the most appropriate, and thought it through the most thoroughly.

Seeing that no one objected, Tang Yin nodded his head and asked: "Master Qiu, then who do you think is the most suitable person to lead an ambush to stop Zhong Wen's group?"

Qiu Zhen laughed, turned and looked at Peng Haochu, and said: "I think, General Peng can take on this task."

Tang Yin's heart moved as he nodded his head. It was not appropriate to send Peng Haochu, who came from a local army, to fight with a local army. He grunted, then turned to look at Peng Haochu and asked: "What do you think, General Peng?"

Peng Haochu cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate is willing to go!"

Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "I will give you six directly subordinate troops, and set up an ambush near the border of Guannan County. If you see Zhong Wen leading the troops, you must hold him back, and without my order, you cannot retreat on your own."

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

Tang Yin silently calculated the time, and then said: "You can leave tonight, go and make some preparations!"

"This subordinate will take his leave!" Peng Haochu did not hesitate at all.

Looking at Peng Haochu's back figure, Tang Yin suddenly thought of something. He reached out to stop him, then looked towards Shangguan Yuanyu and said: "Yuanyu, this time you're going with General Peng."

was worried that Peng Haochu might not be able to hold on. If Shangguan Yuan gave up, it would be a different story.

Hearing that, Shangguan Yuan was overjoyed. He was born for war, what was the meaning of staying back to persuade the local army, who would dare to provoke Zhong Wen? Without a second thought, he interjected, "As you command!" Pausing for a moment, he then asked, "When we get to the battlefield, which one of us will listen to?"

This really stunned Tang Yin. Peng Haochu was the Deputy Commander of the Directly Subordinate Army, and Shangguan Yuanyang was the vanguard of the Tianyuan Army. In terms of rank, Peng Haochu naturally had to listen to Shangguan Yuan's orders, but the latter was impulsive and impulsive, so he was not suitable for being the main general.

Tang Yin did not know what to say. Peng Haochu laughed and spoke to Shangguan Yuan: "Since General Yuan has the courage of three armies, and is a magnificent chief vanguard officer, of course, I will listen to General Yuan."

Shangguan Yuan's schemes were not too deep and he was not too shrewd, the happiness and anger were all shown on his face. Hearing Peng Haochu's words, he laughed heartily, his expression naturally revealing his joy.

Tang Yin saw this and frowned. As the saying goes, a proud soldier must be defeated, and Shangguan Yuan had always been arrogant and condescending, he repeatedly warned: "Yuanyu, this time, the main reason for fighting is to delay the enemy, you can't keep fighting, and you can't get entangled with the enemy either!"

"Hehe!" Shangguan Yuan let out a big grin and said haughtily: "Let alone Zhong Wen, who is only leading a hundred and fifty thousand people, even if it were twice as many, I would still take his head like an item out of a bag. Master, don't worry about me."

Tang Yin laughed bitterly, he was not worried for Shangguan Yuan. With his Spiritual Martial Cultivation, even if he could not beat Shangguan Yuan, it would not be a problem for him to run away. Without speaking any further with Shangguan Yuan, Tang Yin turned around and looked deeply at Peng Haochu.

Peng Haochu immediately understood what Tang Yin meant, without needing the latter to make it clear, he already spoke first: "This subordinate understands." With that said, he cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and left the tent.

Shangguan Yuan let them leave as well. When he walked out of the tent, everyone could still hear his loud voice coming from outside, "General Peng, what do you think you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other in amusement.

After pausing for a while, Tang Yin suddenly thought of something. Right now, our side is stationed outside of Sanchi City, and we do not know when the enemy will arrive, so waiting for this will take at least a few days, food and supplies is a problem. He restrained his smile and asked, "Does our army have sufficient rations?"

The general in charge of food was a civil servant called Shao Ting, hearing Tang Yin's question, he anxiously replied: "The food supplies brought by the army are already enough for the soldiers to use for three days, in addition, the food supplies escorted from the Heaven Pass are already on the road, they will arrive within three days. There is also the who has supported our army with some food supplies, it is also in the middle of transportation."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head. In that case, the food should not be a problem, and he muttered to himself slowly: "To the food sent by Master Zhao, we need to check them strictly to ensure their safety."

"Huh?" Shao Ting did not understand what Tang Yin meant. Didn't Zhao Hui surrender to his side? Could it be that there was something wrong with the food he gave his?

Seeing his baffled expression, Tang Yin snorted, and said: "There's no harm in being extra careful. If there's any problem with the food, you can ask! "

Shao Ting was frightened, he immediately bowed and said: "Yes, Master, I understand."

Everyone in the tent looked at each other, but no one said anything. Tang Yin was a bit more cautious when he said it was nice, but more suspicious when he said it was bad, and it would not be easy for her to win his trust.

After finishing all of his tasks, Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief, stretched his body and said: "If there's nothing else, please return."

"This subordinate will take his leave!" Everyone walked out of the tent.

After everyone had left, Tang Yin did not stay in the tent any longer. He brought Qiu Zhen and out to the various campgrounds to patrol.

They were now deep within the forest. As they looked around, they saw that the tents were mixed with trees, and the trees were mixed with their own. The camp of more than 300,000 people was simply too big, and there was also a gap between the trees.

Tang Yin patrolled around the Pingyuan Army encampment first. The soldiers of the Pingyuan Army were all relaxed, the discipline was a little loose, and the soldiers were in groups of three or five, conversing with each other without the nervous atmosphere that existed on the eve of a big battle.

This was not surprising, the Pingyuan Army was acquired through constant training in the midst of battle.

Don't underestimate the discipline of the Pingyuan Army, but the range of the sentry posts was very wide, and the furthest outpost was already close to the official road. If there was any enemy situation, the village would immediately notice it, and from this, one could see Xiao Muqing's cautious personality.

Seeing Tang Yin coming out to inspect, the Pingyuan Army soldiers all stopped talking and laughing. They all stood up and greeted respectfully, "Master!"

These soldiers were all personally brought out by Tang Yin, and had also inherited Tang Yin's strengths and weaknesses. When fighting, they were brave enough to fight, and had quite the drive to fight, but they ignored the military discipline as if they didn't exist, as their clothes were all messed up, and their helmets were slanted to the side. Some people felt that their armor were heavy, so they simply took it off, and only wore their uniform.

Towards all these, Tang Yin did not care too much about it, he smiled and nodded to everyone. Seeing that there was a wooden stake in the crowd, he walked over, sat on it, and waved at everyone: "Everyone sit, why are you all standing, are you not tired?"

Hearing that, all the soldiers laughed, they all surrounded Tang Yin and sat on the ground.

In their opinion, there wasn't much difference between Tang Yin becoming a County Head and becoming a County Guard. It was their lord, who still viewed ordinary soldiers as brothers and sisters. Tang Yin was extremely lenient towards the soldiers, to the point that it almost reached the extent of spoiling them, and similarly, the soldiers were willing to work for him to the best of their abilities, following him through life and death situations.

"Everyone has been away from home for quite some time now. Do you all miss home?" Tang Yin took off his helmet, playing with the red tassel on top, he asked while laughing.

"I don't miss home." The soldiers answered in unison.

"Oh?" Tang Yin looked at a young soldier who was sitting beside him. "Why don't you want to go home?"

"We still have to follow sire to fight Ning Country!" The young soldier grinned.

Tang Yin was startled, he had never said that he wanted to attack Ning Country, furthermore, he still had Zhong Tian, this great enemy that he had yet to get rid of. He smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

"If there is no enemy, Zhong Tian cannot rebel, and his Feng Country will not change his country's name. Once Master exterminated Old Thief, and recovered my strong wind, he will definitely send troops to retaliate against us. At that time, we will still have to follow Master! "

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed, he turned and looked at Qiu Zhen and said: "How is it? If even the ordinary soldiers of my Pingyuan Army can have such ambitions, against Zhong Tian, how can we not win? "

Qiu Zhen gave a bitter smile in return. The soldiers were all hot headed, as long as the marshal Tang Yin was not hot, it was fine.

"Master, when we get to the Ning Country, we will have our land cut off by the Ning people!"

"Yes, even the Ning people would respect us!"

The soldiers started to talk to each other, making Tang Yin laugh non-stop. He felt that it was more interesting to talk to the soldiers below than to talk to the civil officials and military generals. However, he had not only heard of it. At this time, the seed of Ning Country for counterattack had already been buried in his heart.
