Tang Yin asked: "What else do you want?"
Qiu Zhen said: "Even if General Ying Bu can stand by our side and can't let Ning Jun and Zhong Tian clear the level, when the time comes, what about Mo Country sending reinforcements? In this way, my Ba Pass will face enemies from all sides, and not only will I not be able to stop Zhong Tian from escaping, I might even be forcefully seized by my Mo Army and throw away my southern gate! "
"This …" What Qiu Zhen had said was something Tang Yin did not expect. War was not something that could be broken into, only by gaining an advantage on the battlefield in front could it be resolved. Considering the various factors, one needed to have great foresight in order to be able to reach the goal they had set for themselves.
Tianyuan Army going south, taking over Yan City was secondary, exterminating Zhong Tian's forces was the main goal. If in the end, they were only able to take over Yan City and let Zhong Tian successfully escape, then this battle could at most be considered as having been won by half.
Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan seriously considered Qiu Zhen's words and nodded in unison. Then, they asked, "Master Qiu is right! Only, you said it already, the relationship between the two nations has always been friendly, if Ning Country requests for help from Mo Country, Mo Country will not decline, how can we stop Mo Country from sending troops over? "
This was also the question Tang Yin wanted to ask.
Qiu Zhen laughed and said: "The Mo Country is very strong and has a good relationship with the Ning Country, but there is one thing that makes the king of the Mo Country, Shao Ting, hesitant and indecisive. At that time, the two nations clearly agreed to work together to attack my Great Gale, but their Mo Country was not affected at all. Firstly, you have to fix your relationship with the Mo Country, and may even promise to ally with them, even if you wish to cede the territory and have them provided annually. Secondly, you need to secretly bribe the major officials of the Mo Country to speak up for us and stop them from sending out troops to assist us. "
At first, Tang Yin listened and nodded his head, but after hearing that they had to cede lands, pay tribute and make an alliance with Mo Country, he shook his head like a rattle drum.
Qiu Zhen laughed and said: "This is only a stopgap measure. After we eliminate Zhong Tian's power, as for whether or not we keep our promise from back then, it's up to us to decide."
"Oh …" Tang Yin frowned, and remained silent.
Qiu Zhen continued, "In this period of time, I have been continuously collecting and researching the situation with regards to Mo Country. The first prince of Mo Country is born blind and basically has no chance of inheriting the throne. The most hopeful ones are the second and third prince, Shao Fang. Because Shao Bo has always been close to him, his Ning Country has always supported him as the Crown Prince.
"Eh?" Hearing that, Tang Yin laughed. War for the establishment of a store, regardless of whether it was at home or abroad, the past dynasties had all happened frequently, and it seemed that this place was no exception. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, "It seems that I need to make a trip myself!"
Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan were all stunned as they all looked at him.
Tang Yin said: "Just as Master Qiu said, to win over our Mo Country is very important, regardless of whether it is to eliminate Zhong Tian or to use it against the soldiers in the future, if Mo Country does not cause trouble in the south, it can remove all of our worries. No matter who is sent to go, it would be better to go with good faith than me.
As the commander of the Tianyuan Army, it was naturally good for Tang Yin to personally send someone out, but there was one point that was clear, Mo Country was currently inclined towards Ning Country, if Tang Yin rushed over, there were many dangers, maybe he would not even be able to see the face of the King Mo, and he would be captured and sent to Ning Country.
Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan said in unison, "Master, this … Isn't it too dangerous? "
Tang Yin was indifferent, and said: "Don't worry about that, even if we don't succeed, I will protect myself."
"Yes!" Right now, everyone was very confident in Tang Yin's ability to protect himself. As a Spirit Cultivator of Dark with a high cultivation level, even a top class expert like Shangguan Yuanyang would not be able to compare to him.
Qiu Zhen muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded and said: "Master, I will go with you!"
Tang Yin waved his hand, and said: "It's better for Master Qiu to stay at the Xibai City, if the two of us were to leave, the large army would lose their leader, and Zhong Tian would take the opportunity to do so." Saying that, he turned to look at Zong Yuan, and said: "This time, Mr. Zong Yuan will accompany me! I wonder if Mr. Zong Yuan has the guts to do so? "
Zong Yuan's heart trembled, he only thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate is willing to accompany Master, up the blade mountain, down the sea of fire, and will not refuse!"
The reason why Tang Yin chose Zong Yuan was because Zong Yuan had the ability to see through the hearts of others and was extremely easy to read the thoughts of others. This point was too important to him in order to rope Shao Fang in and bribe the other Imperial Court Ministers.
And Zong Yuan was also someone who dared to gamble, if he had chosen to bet with Tang Yin at first, it would be right to gamble, but now, accompanying Tang Yin out of Mo Country was also a gamble, even losing would be difficult, if he lost the gamble, it would be worth it. Now that he had a clear view of the Feng Country's situation, after Zhong Tian had been annihilated, the one who held the dominant position in the Feng Country would definitely be the Tianyuan Army, and Tang Yin, who controlled the Tianyuan Army, would definitely become the new ruler of the Feng Country as well. He had no reason not to hold tightly onto this large tree and give up this chance to become the country's founder.
Tang Yin and Zong Yuan immediately agreed and decided to send out their Mo Country. Of course, for safety's sake, it was impossible for Tang Yin to bring along only Zong Yuan, the two Shangguan brothers and his Hidden Arrow Crew. Furthermore, they could not go together with everyone else, and had to stay in the caravan to hide themselves.
After that, Qiu Zhen suggested that they should first send out the spies from Sky Eye and the Earth Web to the Mo Country. Firstly, they should first familiarize themselves with the circumstances and environment of the Mo Country, and secondly, should be able to help and take care of Tang Yin. Tang Yin accepted Qiu Zhen's suggestion and sent people to find Le Tian and Ai Jia, explaining the situation to them. Le Tian and Ai Jia did not hesitate and immediately went to do what they needed to do.
Tang Yin had originally planned to take advantage of the army's period of rest and relaxation in Xibai City, but Qiu Zhen's words caused him to have no choice but to go over to the Mo Country to deal with it.
When they finished discussing the matter, it was already noon. Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the others were just about to eat dinner when a guard walked over quickly. He first bowed deeply towards Tang Yin, then said respectfully: "Master, Liu Zichao greets you!"
The guard said that Liu Zichao was one of the richest men in the city. Although he did not have a official status, he had a rich family background and was also a well-known benefactor. He often helped the poor and beggars. He had a high reputation among the people of the city.
During the celebratory feast, Tang Yin had met this person before and had some impression of him.
"Sir, should we invite you to the main hall or here?"
Tang Yin said casually: "Please come over here!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" The guard replied and turned around to leave.
Not long later, Liu Zichao was brought over by a guard. When he saw Tang Yin, he quickly rushed forward and bowed. "This lowly one greets Master!"
Tang Yin had already gotten used to the pleasantries in the secular world. He waved his hand and laughed: "Brother Liu, I wonder what business you have by visiting?"
Liu Zichao was only in his early thirties, and he had a handsome face that was suave and dignified, worthy of being called a talented person.
He smiled at Tang Yin and said: "Tonight, I have prepared a feast in my residence and I am here to invite you to attend. I hope that you will not delay it no matter what!"
"Oh …" Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then leisurely laughed and said: "Brother Liu, you personally came to invite me, how can I not go!" He did not want to participate in the Liu Residence's banquet, but he had to show off to the citizens. Liu Zichao's prestige among the commoners was very high, and since they had personally invited him, he could not refute Liu Zichao too much.
Receiving Tang Yin's nod, Liu Zichao was overjoyed, his face revealed a strong smile, and he cupped his hands and bowed: "Thank you master! Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation! " As the marshal of the five hundred thousand Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin controlled Tianyuan, Guannan, golden light, and elegiac lake. To be able to personally visit his own residence as a guest, just how great of an honor was this, in the future, other people would have a whole new level of respect for him.
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said: "Brother Liu is too courteous!"
"This little one has nothing else to do. I will take my leave first. I will welcome you with respect at the mansion tonight!"
"I'll definitely be there!"
"Farewell!"
"Take care, Brother Liu!"
After Liu Zichao left, Qiu Zhen nodded his head in satisfaction, and said to Tang Yin: "Liu Zichao's prestige is high, Master is on good terms with him, in the future, whether it is in the Xibai City or gathering resources, our army will do double the work!"
Tang Yin sighed and said faintly: "There are a lot of counties under my jurisdiction, and a lot of trouble. Right now, I am somewhat nostalgic about my days as the county chief of Pingyuan County."
Qiu Zhen laughed towards the sky, and said while pointing at something else: "This is only the beginning, in the future, I'm afraid Master will be even more busy!"
Tang Yin laughed bitterly and was speechless. He understood Qiu Zhen's meaning, now that he was only in charge of four countries, if he really sat on the throne of the Feng King in the future, he would be in charge of all twelve countries.
In the evening, Tang Yin went to the Liu Manor to participate in the banquet following Liu Zichao's invitation.
When Tang Yin fell, there were many carriages parked outside the Liu Palace. It was obvious that Liu Zichao had invited quite a few distinguished guests.
After knowing that Tang Yin had arrived, Liu Zichao and the other guests all came out to welcome him and bring him in. Upon seeing Tang Yin, Liu Zichao and the rest all bowed respectfully, and he immediately dismounted, and at the same time, waved to the rest: "In private, everyone need not be so courteous!"
