"Sire, see!" If Tang Yin could really do what he had planned, taking down the Tong Gate would most certainly be a certain thing. The moment the Tong Gate is taken over by his own side, the entire battle situation will be on his side, and when Zhong Tian as well as Zhan Wushuang and the rest of the people, his contributions would naturally be the greatest as well.

Tang Yin looked at Zong Yuan, then at Qiu Zhen and the rest, and asked: "What do you guys think?"

No one dared to reply immediately. This matter was extremely important, and it was also related to the outcome of both sides. No one dared to speak hastily.

The hall was eerily quiet. All of the advisors and aides were thinking quickly, thinking about how feasible Zong Yuan's plan was. After a long while, Zhang Zhe broke the silence and said: "Master Zong's stratagem is indeed brilliant, but, I want to ask Master Zong, how many people should our army send? If we send too few people, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the Tong Gate. Also, if we succeed in ambushing them and successfully take over the Tong Gate, then we will be surrounded and attacked by the Ning people. How long can we hold on in this isolated and helpless situation? "

The questions that Zhang Zhe asked were all very practical, it was not as simple as beating the Tong Gate down. How could they leave such an important city, which was related to the Lifeline, to another person, if it were to be taken, the Ning Army's berserk counterattack would be inevitable, whether or not they could hold it, it was still uncertain!

Tang Yin nodded, he felt that Zhang Zhe's question was reasonable, he raised his head and looked at Zong Yuan, waiting for his answer.

"The soldiers are not expensive, just fifty thousand elite soldiers will do!" Zong Yuan said confidently: "Your excellency should also send an experienced and crafty General. From your subordinate's perspective, General Liang Qi should be able to take on this responsibility, and in addition, there should also be a brave general who would be unrivalled amongst the army, who could stand up in times of danger to raise the morale of the troops, and who is most suitable for the General!"

After Tang Yin heard this, he pursed his lips and did not say anything for a long while. On the other hand, Zong Yuan opened his mouth wide, wanting to transfer the two generals beside him away. The Chiliarch s were easy to obtain, but hard to find. One of them was a ghost genius who led an army and the other one was a fierce general who was unstoppable in the entire world. If the two of them were to be caught in the Tong Gate together, even Tang Yin would feel heartache and die, this would also be a huge loss to his Tianyuan Army.

With regards to the two of them, Tang Yin began to hesitate, it was difficult for him to make a decision. He was silent for a long time, and then he said slowly, "I know, this thing... "Let's think it over again!"

"My lord!" Zong Yuan said in a serious tone, "This matter can't be delayed by any means. What if we wait for the Ning Country reinforcements to pass through the Tong Gate and enter it to meet up with Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi's group, even if our army succeeds in seizing the Tong Gate, the effect would be greatly reduced. I hope that Master can make a decision soon!"

"This …" Tang Yin's face looked troubled, but he remained silent.

"My lord!" Zong Yuan still wanted to continue speaking, but Qiu Zhen waved his hand at him, interrupted him, and then said to Tang Yin: "Master, I think what Master Zong said is reasonable. Good steel must be used on the blade! If the fifty thousand elite soldiers under the command of the General Liang and the General Shangguan were to head there, not only would they be able to easily take over the Tong Gate, they would also be able to turn it into an iron plate when defending. If our army is able to gain a foothold in the Tong Gate, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi's remaining forces will become unstable, and will become chaotic without fighting, while Zhong Tian will lose a powerful accomplice. This is greatly beneficial for us, I hope Master will not be indecisive in this matter, and delay our fighting! "

Qiu Zhen's way of speaking was much more direct than Zong Yuan's, and only Qiu Zhen dared to directly say what he said in front of Tang Yin. Indeed. Tang Yin had never once used such an indecisive term to describe him. His brows tightly locked together as a strange green light flashed in his eyes. He steeled his heart, clenched his teeth, and raised his head as he said, "Someone, come!"

Following his words, two guards came in from the outside, stood in front of Tang Yin, interposed and bowed, and said: "What orders does Master have?"

"The two of you go and find General Liang and General Yuan Jean. I have something to discuss with them!"

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

The two guards bowed and left to receive the order. Seeing that, Zong Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, at the same time, he glanced at Qiu Zhen gratefully. From the looks of it, the one who really cared about Tang Yin was Qiu Zhen.

Not long after, Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan arrived one after another. Upon seeing Tang Yin, the two of them clasped their hands and bowed, and asked: May I ask what Sir has to discuss with this subordinate?

Tang Yin was silent for a moment, then he narrated the original plan of Zong Yuan ambushing the Tong Gate to the two of them. In the end, he said: "Master Zong proposes that the two of you lead fifty thousand elite soldiers, I wonder if General Liang and Primaltwin are willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

Liang Qi frowned, and did not reply immediately. It was simple, but it wasn't that easy. It would be fine if he took a detour to sneak attack Tong Gate, but if he wanted to protect Tong Gate for a long time, it would be too difficult.

Without waiting for Liang Qi to speak, Shangguan Yuan let out a huge grin. He even looked deeply at Zong Yuan, hinting that Liang Qi had good eyes. He spoke to Tang Yin: "This is a small matter, leave it to me. With me here, taking down the Tong Gate is as easy as flipping my hand.

Liang Qi, who was beside him, did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She felt that in Shangguan Yuan's heart, she did not even know what danger was. He did not have as much confidence as Shangguan Yuan, and said seriously: "Sir, it is fine for Yuan to let the general and subordinate lead the army, but fifty thousand soldiers is really too few. I want to bring Sanshui Army of one hundred thousand soldiers, I wonder how Sir would like to go?"

"Oh …" Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded: "Alright!"

"Also, I have one thing to do. I'll have General Yuan accompany me, so you have to listen to my arrangements!" Liang Qi said the key point, there was no way for there to be two generals in the army, so they had to have one lord and one general, if not, the entire army would become a mess on the battlefield.

Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Shangguan Yuan raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and emphasized: "General Liang, I think you have forgotten that I am the vanguard of the Tianyuan Army and you are only the general of the Sanshui Army. Why do you need me to listen to you, you should listen to me!"

Liang Qi rolled his eyes, he turned and muttered: "If I had to listen to you, I'm afraid that after taking down the Tong Gate, it would be difficult to last for three days."

"What did you say?" Shangguan Yuan's tiger-like eyes widened as he glared at Liang Qi, who was facing him with the back of his head. He clenched his fists tightly, looking like he was about to swing his fists and beat someone up.

Liang Qi shrugged and no longer said anything.

Looking at the two of them, Tang Yin shook his head and laughed bitterly, he turned and looked at Zong Yuan, what he meant was, do you still think it was appropriate to let the two of them lead the troops?

Zong Yuan understood what Tang Yin meant, he nodded with a smile, and continued to persevere on with his idea. Tang Yin sighed lightly, and gave way to Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan, "Yuanyu, General Liang has much more experience in commanding the troops than you do. When the time for the battle comes, you will listen to the arrangements of the General Liang!"

"Milord, I …" Shangguan Yuan was about to speak, but Tang Yin waved his hand and stopped him with a look. He then asked Liang Qi: "General Liang, do you have any other conditions?"

Liang Qi shook his head and said: "With the Sanshui Army of a hundred thousand, and General Yuan listening to my orders, that is enough."

Tang Yin asked: "Then, if General Liang were to take down the Tong Gate, how long would he be able to hold out for?"

Liang Qi thought for a moment, then said: "This will depend on how much food we have in the city. If there is sufficient food, with Tong Gate as defense, it shouldn't be a problem to defend for one or two months!"

"Oh!" Tang Yin's eyes darted around as he calculated the time in his mind. According to Liang Qi, they would only be able to hold on for one or two months. It was unlikely that they would even be able to reach the Yan City in such a short amount of time, so it was still too early for them to send Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan to fight. He nodded and said, "I understand. I still need to discuss the matter of borrowing the way from the Morfeas Confederacy to advance, after we have settled on the specific details, I will look for the two of you to discuss it in more detail. "

"Yes sir!" Liang Qi respectfully bowed deeply.

Actually, Liang Qi didn't blame Tang Yin for sending him to ambush the Tong sect this time, instead, he felt that it was a good opportunity for him to build a new career. Of course, the danger involved was also extremely great, even with Shangguan Yuan accompanying him, even though he could command a hundred thousand Three Water Army, he was not sure how long he could last in the Tong sect.

Afterwards, Tang Yin immediately called Le Tian and Ai Jia over, asking them to spread the word and investigate the situation around Tong Gate, especially the number of troops that the Ning Army was stationed at the Tong Gate. They had to find and investigate it thoroughly. Just by hearing that Tang Yin had asked the two of them to investigate, he was able to deduce that Tang Yin was planning to use Tong Gate. With regards to the major matters, Le Tian and Ai Jia did not dare be careless, and quickly took the order and left.

After telling the two of them everything, Tang Yin left to find Princess Bei Sa, Shauna.

After the victory against Ning Jun in one battle, Tianyuan Army remained stationed outside of the Jinhua City, and did not leave. It was just that the main generals and commanders had already moved into the city, so Shauna naturally moved into the city as well.

Although Jinhua City was not a very important town, it was situated on an important road. There were many tourists and caravans passing by, and the city was bustling with activity, business flourishing.

After entering the city, Shauna basically did not stay in her Tavern for long, instead, she spent her days wandering around the city with Blaine and a few other young Bessa Clan members. She felt that it was very fresh looking at everything, and the citizens of the city had never seen any People of Bessa City before, so they were even more interested in them.

When Tang Yin came to find Shauna, she was not in the Tavern, so she asked the Female Guard guarding there, saying that her highness had already gone to the North of City market with Blaine and the others to play. Tang Yin originally wanted to sit and wait for Shauna to return, but after waiting for a while, he still did not see Shauna and the others, so he took the initiative and went to the North of City Market to look for her.
