Tang Yin first inspected the Pingyuan Army camp, and then went to the Chifeng Army camp that was led by Li Wei.

On the other hand, the military discipline of the army was extremely strict. It was very difficult to see any soldiers chatting and laughing within the camp, with people hurrying steps, rushing to hurry up and take care of their own affairs. Most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep to replenish their strength, so the entire camp seemed quiet and deserted.

Li Wei, Le Tian and Ai Jia could be considered to be the same group of generals who followed Tang Yin, and were very familiar with each other. He had a hundred percent trust in these two, so with the aid of enemies, Sky Eye and Earth Web's scouts would naturally come to report.

After circling around the Chifeng Army's campsite once, Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the other two walked out of the forest.

In order to hide their tracks, their camp was located in the depths of the forest. They had to walk two or three miles to reach the official road.

After Tang Yin and the others came out of the forest, they turned to look. Their eyes were filled with trees, if they did not go in deeper, no one would be able to sense that there were so many troops in the forest.

Secretly nodding his head, Tang Yin looked towards Lin Zi who was at the opposite side of the road and said: "Let's go take a look at Liang Qi's camp!"

"Alright!" Qiu Zhen and Cheng Jin agreed as they followed Tang Yin back to the Sanshui Army's encampment.

Passing through the main road, they entered the forest on the other side, and before they had gone far, they heard the rustling sound of leaves above their heads, and then, several human figures jumped down from the tree branches, forming a semicircle that blocked Tang Yin and the rest. Qiu Zhen was shocked, before he could even see the person's face, the others had already walked up to him and bowed, and muttered: So it's Master!

Tang Yin sized up the few of them, and seeing that they were all dressed in casual attire, he asked: "You are all …"

"Reporting to the Lord, we are the Sanshui Army hidden sentry."

"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded his head and agreed. Liang Qi had set up a secret sentry far enough away, he waved his hand and said: "Go and busy yourselves."

"Yes!" "Milord." Several of the sentries retreated back to the tree and then used their hands and feet to nimbly climb back up the tree like monkeys, disappearing into the leaves.

Tang Yin and the rest had to travel around five kilometers into the forest before they arrived at Sanshui Army's camp. Along the way, they encountered countless Sanshui Army sentries and secret sentries, and when they reached the camp, they saw that a long fence had already been erected at the outskirts of the Sanshui Army encampment.

After knowing that Tang Yin had come, Liang Qi and Bai Yong welcomed him together. Tang Yin was extremely confused by the construction of the Sanshui Army, and asked: "Why did we build a fence and mound?"

Liang Qi said: "As long as we are stationed here for more than six hours, there is a need to build a defensive wall. Moreover, our army will need to be stationed here for a few more days."

Tang Yin looked at him, and shook his head, indicating that he did not understand. He said: "The soldiers are already exhausted from the night's journey, and now they are building such a complicated fortifications, wouldn't it cause the warriors to complain?"

Liang Qi smiled indifferently, and said: "The army is not a place for sightseeing. Since we have chosen to join the army, we must prepare for the hardships of the battle. It would be better to go home and get married and have children! "

Although Liang Qi was not talking about Tang Yin, he still blushed after hearing it. He nodded his head awkwardly and laughed dryly, "General Liang's words are reasonable."

However, he was completely different from Tang Yin who was indulgent and considerate. His requirements were extremely strict, and the military laws he set were also extremely heavy, so he naturally rewarded those who had rendered meritorious services heavily, and increased the penalties for those who had served in the army. In his opinion, this was the only way that the entire army could stay together and gain the largest room to survive on the battlefield.

To let the soldiers live, to let the soldiers walk off the battlefield unharmed, this was the best consideration for the soldiers.

From the differences in the conditions of the camps, it was just right to see the differences in the personality of the commanders.

Xiao Muqing was agile, Li Wei was strictly forbidden and was sharp. As for the Directly Subordinate Army which Gu Yue was the leader of, it was not because Gu Yue was weak, but because her Directly Subordinate Army was right under his nose, and he had to intervene from time to time. Tang Yin was not an expert in the art of military healing, so other than training himself quite well, he could not find any other advantages in Directly Subordinate Army.

Pingyuan Army, Chifeng Army, and Sanshui Army had their own unique characteristics. As for who was good and who was bad, and who was strong and who was weak, that was something that could only be seen from the practice on the battlefield.

Two days later, both Sky Eye and Earth Web sent back news. Zhong Tian's army had entered the boundaries of the Guannan County and was currently making their way towards the Sanchi City. The commander in chief was one of Zhong Tian's trusted aides, Xiao Kui.

Xiao Kui was born to be a regiment commander, and was known for being valiant in battle, hence he was very well-received by Zhong Tian. In this expedition, Zhong Tian could leave the two hundred thousand troops to him without worry, which showed how much importance he valued and trusted him.

In his heart, Xiao Kui did not take Tang Yin seriously. He felt that the reason why Tang Yin could achieve his current achievements was because of the cultivation and promotion of his Wu Family, which was already known to everyone on the streets. Now that his Wu Family had suffered, and Tang Yin had gained power, not only did he not report back his Wu Family, he had even seized another person's regiment, and even kicked his Wu Family away. How could they lead troops to war? Although there were a lot of subordinates, with a commander like Tang Yin, they could only be a mob.

This time, he was ordered by Zhong Wen to be the commander of the frontline army, and he just so happened to use this opportunity to take the lead in fighting Tang Yin. He had made a huge contribution, and after returning to the capital, he would not only get his rewards, but his position in the Imperial Court would also rise further.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Kui repeatedly urged them to increase their marching speed, and it would be best if they could shake off the middle ground army that Zhong Wen was in. He never thought that there would be an ambush from Tang Yin's Guannan County.

It had only been a day's time, but the two hundred thousand local troops had already reached the Sanchi City.

At this time, the Sanchi City was quiet and still.

Xiao Kui was riding on his horse and walking at the front of the group. Seeing the peaceful Sanchi City from afar, he couldn't help but frown; they walked from the Yan City all the way to here, and along the way, no one came out to welcome them. However, the calm Sanchi City didn't have the slightest intention of welcoming them.

Snorting coldly in his heart, he asked the deputy general beside him, "Mayor of Sanchi City, do you not know that we have come? "Why didn't you come out to welcome Wang shi?"

"This …" The deputy general secretly stuck out his tongue and said, "This subordinate doesn't know!"

Xiao Kui rolled his eyes at the deputy general and urged his horse forward. At the same time, he snapped his orders, "Continue with the march, enter the city!" After saying that, he muttered to himself, "It would be best if Sanchi City Mayor gave me a good explanation, or else I won't let him off lightly!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" This Mayor is too arrogant! " When she saw the opportunity, he immediately agreed.

With Xiao Kui in the lead, the local army entered the Sanchi City with great fanfare, and not to mention seeing the Mayor, not even a single ordinary soldier could be seen. No one guarded the gates of the city, allowing the commoners to enter and leave freely. Seeing that, Xiao Kui became even angrier, even if Sanchi City was not the frontline, but he could not relax, it seemed like Mayor did not plan to live!

"I want to see what Mayor is doing at home!" Xiao Kui ordered a deputy general by his side to go to Mayor Palace and bring him there.

The deputy general agreed and immediately led his men.

Not long after, the deputy general brought his men back. Xiao Kui looked around and did not see anyone. He frowned and asked: "Where are the Mayor people?"

The deputy general shook his head and said, "It's not in the Mayor Palace."

"Not here? "Then where did he go?"

The servants of the Mayor Palace said that the Mayor left early yesterday morning. They said that they were going to Tongzhou and even brought their families with them, but did not explain the reason.

What kind of nonsense was this! It was already near evening, and today was the day where they could not continue their march. He said to the officers on his left and right, "Summon my generals, let the entire army enter the city to rest, and then we can continue our journey tomorrow morning."

"General, the Sanchi City is too small, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand so many soldiers." A high-ranking officer said in embarrassment.

"Then camp outside the city! Do you even need me to teach you this kind of thing? " Xiao Kui rolled his eyes at the high-ranking officer.

The general was the commander-in-chief of the local county army. Xiao Kui looked down on the commanders of the local army a hundred and twenty times. If it wasn't to stabilize the local army, he would have replaced them all.

The high-ranking officer's face turned red from his reprimand, and without saying anything more, he cupped his hands together and retreated.

Xiao Kui no longer bothered with him. Bringing his trusted subordinates and his several hundred imperial bodyguards, he directly went to the Mayor Palace.

Since the Mayor s were not around, then the Mayor Palace would become his place of residence within the Sanchi City.

According to Xiao Kui's order, a portion of the soldiers in the local army were stationed in the city, while the other portion were camped outside the city.

The morale of the local army was low, and they had rushed over all the way as well. The soldiers were all exhausted and did not have any precautions. When the entire army was resting, there were very few soldiers on guard, and even some of them were sleeping soundly on the ground with spears in their hands.

In the evening, he did not say anything. On the morning of the next day, the sentry guarding the top of the tower slowly woke up from his sleep, his eyes were hazy and hazy, he glanced outside the city, stretching and yawning as he took a moment to regain his consciousness, but when his consciousness returned, his body suddenly trembled, his hands rubbed his eyes, leaned against the wall, and looked outside the city with his head stretched.

Half of the local army was in the city, and most of it was outside of the city. The encampment was close to the city, but now, outside of the local army's camp was a large group of people, and as far as the eye could see, this group of people had no boundaries, they even surrounded the city with the encampment, encircling in three layers, and unable to be passed through. The flags in the group were all fluttering in the wind, and they were all on a black ground.

Right now, they had already been replaced by's mother and were no longer able to fight Flag of Feng Country anymore. So what was going on with this army in front of them?
