Sanshui Army and Chifeng Army's manpower had all expanded to one hundred and fifty thousand, and its fighting strength was roughly the same as a hundred thousand man Pingyuan Army. As for Directly Subordinate Army, the manpower composition of the three armies was basically comprised mainly of new soldiers, and rather than calling it the close army of Tang Yin's, it was more like the Tianyuan Army's reserve army.
After a series of adjustments, the overall structure of the Tianyuan Army was basically set.
The Pingyuan Army Commander was Xiao Muqing, the Deputy Commander was Chen Fang and Liu Zhong; the Sanshui Army Commander was Liang Qi, the Deputy Commander was Bai Yong and Zhu Nuo; the Chifeng Army Commander was Li Wei and the Deputy Commander was Peng Haochu. In fact, looking at it more carefully, Tang Yin's plans were also well thought out. Tang Yin trusted their abilities, but he did not necessarily trust their loyalty to him. Therefore, he placed his own trusted Member beside them, and with that, not only would each legion receive the leadership and direction of an outstanding general, their loyalty would be sufficient, and his worries would be eliminated.
At this time, Tang Yin was extremely ambitious, he had the thought of taking advantage of this situation to give chase. He planned to command his army to continue his journey south and attack the last barrier of Yan City — — Lehu County, as long as he took down Lehu County, then his Tianyuan Army would be able to directly attack Huang Long and advance his Yan City.
But at the same time, led the rest of the strategists and advisers who saw Tang Yin and advised him to hold on for a while.
Tang Yin was puzzled. Their side was currently in a victorious situation, if they did not use troops now, how long would it take? After listening to his thoughts, Qiu Zhen laughed, shook his head and said, "Master has overestimated our current situation. We do have the advantage against Zhong Tian, but we are not at the point of victory.
With a slight frown, Tang Yin asked: "Why does Master Qiu say that?"
Qiu Zhen said with a serious expression: Master, we now have an army of half a million, with so many people, they need to eat, drink, and pay. This is all money, how can we afford it just by relying on Tianyuan County alone? At that time, our advantage will be reduced to defeat! "
After hearing his words, Tang Yin felt as if he had been splashed with cold water. Half of the excitement in his heart had been extinguished, and his face darkened as he looked at Qiu Zhen coldly. Qiu Zhen's words were unpleasant to hear, but it did not mean that it was unreasonable, but even so, it did not mean that Tang Yin liked it. He lightly tapped the table with his finger and asked: "Then what does Master Qiu think?"
Without waiting for Qiu Zhen to speak, Zong Yuan stepped forward, cupped his hands, bowed, and then spoke up first: "As I see it, Master should stabilize his position, and obtain the actual control of Guannan County and Jinguang County. With these two counties combined with Tianyuan County, supporting an army of five hundred thousand will no longer be a difficult task, and Master should start to send letters to the County Head of other counties as soon as possible, in order to obtain the support of the various County Head s, this way, Master not only does not have any responsibilities, he can also greatly reduce Zhong Tian's strength as a traitor, killing two birds with one stone!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, Tang Yin nodded his head, he liked to hear these kinds of suggestions that could give him a practical solution. He pondered for a moment, then looked at Zong Yuan and asked: "From Master Zong's point of view, how should I control the actual power of Guannan County and Jinguang County?"
Zong Yuan laughed and said: "It's very simple, cripple the original County Head and create a new County Head!"
Tang Yin rolled his eyes, then squinted his eyes and asked: "You mean, you want me to kill Zhao Hui and Yu Tao?"
"No, no!" Zong Yuan waved his hands, and said: "If Master wants to obtain the support of the other County Magistrate, then you must treat Zhao Hui and Yu Tao well, and not only can you not kill them, you must also increase their ranks, of course, Master can give them empty positions, and can also take away their power."
Tang Yin's mind raced as he listened to his, nodding. After Zong Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Zhen, asking him about his intentions. In the depths of Tang Yin's heart, the person he trusted the most in was still Qiu Zhen.
Seeing that Tang Yin was asking and looking at him, Qiu Zhen smiled and nodded: "Master Zong's opinion is exactly what I want to say. However, I feel that since Master Zhao is a loyal and honest person, honest and reliable, able to entrust heavy responsibilities to him and being unmoving is a good idea. On the other hand, Yu Tao, who is a villain, does not easily let him occupy important positions and can allow him to become the chief Inspector of the three counties, namely, give him a promotion and no real power.
"Ha ha — —" Hearing that, Tang Yin laughed towards the sky, and said: "What Master Qiu and Master Zong say is extremely correct, we will do as you two say!"
Qiu Zhen said: "Master can summon the County Head s and county leaders of the three counties at Jinguang County Palace of Jinguang County to see if they are abandoned or not, and master can judge them right in front of your face!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded again, and said: "Master Qiu, you handle this matter!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!"
Zhang Zhe did not think much of Qiu Zhen's reliance on him, but Zong Yuan had seen it all and remembered it in his heart. When Tang Yin and his conversation with Qiu Zhen came to an end, he cupped his hands and said: "Master, this subordinate has a plan for the soldiers, I wonder if you should say it?"
Tang Yin was not very interested in scheming and scheming, he was only interested in the military. Hearing Zong Yuan's words, his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Since Master Zong has come to me, then you're my brother, so there's no need to be courteous, just say whatever you have to say!"
Zong Yuan's heart warmed upon hearing this, and he promptly bowed respectfully. Then, he said seriously: "This time, our army has achieved a great victory against the Ning army and injured their vitality, but not injuring the vitality of the army. If Ning Country were to vigorously nurture this puppet, perhaps our army would even be sent into the Feng Country. In this subordinate's opinion, as long as our forces can take over a land, we can isolate the reinforcements from the Ning Country and trap the rest of the Ning Army within my Feng Country. It will be extremely beneficial to our troops! "
"Oh? "What place are you talking about?"
"Tong Gate!"
"Tong Gate?" Not to mention Tang Yin who was greatly shocked, even Qiu Zhen and the others revealed faces of shock as they all turned to look at Zong Yuan.
Zong Yuan said: "Tong Gate is the west gate of my Great Gale, and also the east gate of my Ning Country. No matter who can occupy the Tong Gate, they can obtain the absolute advantage over the other party. If our army can take over Tong Gate, not only will our Ning Country be unable to send reinforcements, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi will also be trapped inside my Windy Realm alive! "
When he finished, Tang Yin and the rest were all speechless.
Everyone knew the importance of Tong Gate, but how could Tianyuan Army that was currently located at the very center of Jinguang County occupy a Tong Gate that was more than five hundred kilometers away? Moreover, the Tong Gate had already been passed to the Ning Country, and was now within the Ning Country's territory. How could the large number of Ning Army possibly make it through, and if they were to advance towards the Tong Gate, they would definitely alert the enemy, and before even reaching the Tong Gate, they would probably fall into the encirclement of the Ning Army.
Everyone carefully considered for a moment before shaking their heads. They felt that this plan was too unrealistic and they had no way of accomplishing it.
Zong Yuan saw everyone's expression, he smiled and said: "We have to take risks, to achieve miraculous effects! It's precisely because Tong Gate has already been ceded to Ning Country, the Ning army stationed there would not have too many, and Tong Gate's defense is strong from the west and weak from the east, as long as our army can suddenly attack, surprise attack, and we can succeed in our first attack! "
"How can you be caught off guard?" Zhang Zhe shook his head and said: "From the Jinguang County to the Tong Gate, you have to pass through the Lehu County, the capital, and the three counties to the west of the city. In addition, the two hundred kilometers of Feng Country to the west of the Tong Gate have already been ceded to the Ning Country, and there are people everywhere.
His doubt was exactly what everyone was thinking, which was that although ambushing Tong Gate was a strange scheme, it was extremely difficult to implement and was not very practical.
Zong Yuan seemed to have already expected that someone would ask this question. He did not answer and instead looked at Tang Yin, smiling as he asked: "Master, you have a very good relationship with Morfeas Confederacy, right?"
His words were tantamount to nonsense. If Tang Yin did not have a good relationship with his People of Bessa City, how could Bessa's Heavy Armored Cavalry rush over to help Tang Yin? Even Princess Bessa had personally come over.
Tang Yin frowned, and raised his head: "Continue speaking!"
Zong Yuan's eyes lit up as he said faintly: "If my army were to go through the borders of the Feng Country, the Ning people would naturally get the news of us, and before they even reach the Tong Gate, they would be obstructed by the Ning army. However, if my army does not go through the Feng Country, then we will take a detour around the territory of the Morfeas Confederacy and go to the Tong Gate, and the Ning people will not be able to sense it!"
"Ya ~ ~ ~" Hearing those words, the crowd couldn't help but gasp.
There were so many strategists and advisers present, and no one had thought to take a detour to head towards Tong Gate. Morfeas Confederacy was not a nation of Bessa City, but rather comprised of over twenty different sized cities. It was just that among them, Bessa City was the strongest, and was also the most aggressive, frequently using armies against Feng Country, plundering and killing people, these dozens of years had made people miserable, and now that Tang Yin had a good relationship with them, he could naturally use Bessa City to contact other cities, so it should not be too difficult to borrow a road to do such a small matter.
The west side of Tong Gate was the Feng Country, and the east side of Tong Gate was the Ning Country. And to the north of Tong Gate was the territory of the Dookie city states, a distance of less than five kilometers. Even if the infantry were to rush ahead, they would still be able to reach there within an hour, even if they were discovered on the way, it would be difficult to gather an army of Ning Country in such a short period of time.
After careful analysis, he found that this plan was really an ingenious one! Tang Yin took a deep breath, a bright light shone in his eyes, and he couldn't help but to look at Zong Yuan with a whole new level of respect. He rubbed his chin and said faintly: "In that case, our army can completely try to sneak attack Tong Gate!"
