Tang Yin frowned, he looked at Zi Ying weirdly, and laughed: "Zi Ying, what do you mean?"

Zi Ying took a deep breath, and said seriously: King, right now, our army has suffered 200,000 casualties, moreover, we have been continuously fighting for more than a month, all of our soldiers are exhausted. Also, the brothers in the army are not used to the climate of Hedong, the number of sick people are innumerable, their fighting strength has decreased greatly, and the Ning army is just waiting idly by the river.

Without waiting for Zi Ying to finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted him: "My army is tired, but isn't Ning Army tired? Don't forget, Zhangsun Yuanhong's subordinates rushed to the Liangzhou from the western side of the Ning Country, and then to the Hedong from the Liangzhou. After travelling a thousand miles, they are not any less relaxed than our army. I know you said that Zhang River can only fight in the water, and my army can't fight in the water, but will Ning Country fight in the water? They won't either! For outsiders, what are we afraid of? "

Zi Ying's explanation made Zi Ying speechless, and what Tang Yin had said was also what he was concerned about. However, he couldn't say that Tang Yin's analysis was unreasonable. Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi looked at each other and grinned. It seemed that the King had made up her mind that they would continue to head west!

At this time, Xiao Muqing took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please do not miss the perfect time to eliminate Ning. Our army should immediately rush to the Zhang River, and prepare to cross the river and fight!"

Hearing that, Tang Yin was startled, then he poked Xiao Muqing with his finger and laughed out loud.

Liang Qi and Zi Ying's noses were almost crooked from anger, although the three of them did not use words to talk, they understood the other party's intentions, they were all opposed to continuing to head west, and in the end, seeing that Tang Yin's attitude was firm, Xiao Muqing changed his attitude quickly, and immediately changed from objecting to supporting, like a clown on both sides.

Xiao Muqing had already supported him, so Liang Qi and Zi Ying did not say anymore. The two of them bowed and cupped their hands, and said together: "The King is wise!"

Receiving the approval of the three generals, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Zi Ying, exterminating peace had basically become a matter that was nailed on the board. Without waiting for further discussion, the door opened. Shangguan Yuanwu walked in, accompanied by Hedong County head Wang Kai, County Commandant Du Qing, and two servants carrying food and wine.

"It is a joyous occasion to see the King safe and sound. This humble subject is relieved!" Wang Kai and Du Qing quickly walked to Tang Yin and knelt in front of him.

Tang Yin looked at the two of them, nodded, and laughed: "Master Wang, General Du, please get up!" After pausing for a moment, he asked again, "Master Wang, how is the situation with your Hedong during this period?"

Wang Kai's face turned serious as he answered respectfully: "Everything is good. The people's emotions have calmed down a lot, and the situation has gradually stabilized!" No matter what kind of feeling he had towards Tang Yin, whether it was disgust or hatred, on the surface, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After all, all of his Hedong were already under the control of the Feng Army, so even if Tang Yin could decide his life and death, it could also decide the life and death of millions of citizens in the Hedong.

Tang Yin laughed and patted Wang Kai's shoulders, and said: "I, Windy, have just taken over the Hedong County, so things will be complicated. I also need Master Wang to work hard, and to work harder."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This subject will act as County Head and do her best to help Your Majesty solve this problem."

"Very good. "That's what you said, I hope you think the same in your heart." Tang Yin's smile became even wider.

He was smiling, but when he saw Wang Kai's eyes, he felt his heart turn cold. Tang Yin was just a smiling face tiger, his smile often hung on his face, but his emotions were volatile. No one knew what other malicious thoughts were hidden under his smile.

Your Majesty, everything is ready." Shangguan Yuanwu bowed, gesturing for the two servants to place the tray on the table. Just as they were about to leave, Yuanwu called out to the two of them again, separating some of the wine and dishes and letting them taste them first. After confirming that there was no poison in them, he dismissed them and said to Tang Yin, "Please have a meal, Great King.

Tang Yin nodded his head in acknowledgement, then walked over to the table. He first drank three cups of tea, then picked up the tableware and started to eat. After eating two mouthfuls, he saw that everyone was standing at the side watching him. He waved his chopsticks and said indistinctly, "What are you all standing there for? Come and eat together! "

As a vassal, how could it be reasonable to eat at the same table as the King? It was also impolite. Everyone shook their heads and repeatedly said, "Your Majesty, we are not hungry!"

Amongst the lot of them, the one who understood Tang Yin the most was Xiao Muqing, and only he had the cheek to walk over to the table and say: "My King, I've already eaten, so I'm a little thirsty. I'll have a drink with you." Xiao Muqing knew that Tang Yin did not care about etiquette at all, and he was not very clear about the strict hierarchy between officials. If he only watched from the side, and looked too unfamiliar, then if he really came over to feast and drink with Tang Yin, and it would also seem a little too excessive, then it would be better to accompany Tang Yin to drink a few cups of wine.

Sure enough, Tang Yin smiled at him, pushed the wine pot towards him without care, and muttered: Drink as much as you want, what's the point of being polite?! After swallowing down the food in his mouth, he asked: "Muqing, tell me, how should we fight next?"

Without waiting for Xiao Muqing to answer, Wang Kai's face changed dramatically as he asked: "Still want to fight? Didn't the King already send Zhangsun Yuanhong flying, and devoured the entire Hedong? "

"Hedong? "Haha ?" Tang Yin laughed and said, "What I want now is not only Hedong, but a complete set of Ning Country. Just now, I have already discussed this with everyone. Next, my army will continue to move westward, pass through the Zhang River, and eliminate Ning! "

Ah? Wang Kai secretly sucked in a cold breath. Tang Yin's ambitions were huge, he was not satisfied even after occupying such a huge part of the Hedong. He actually wanted to swallow the entire Ning Country! He pondered for a moment and asked, "When?"

Tang Yin picked up a piece of beef mince and stuffed it into his mouth, saying in a vague tone, "The faster the better.

"This... Isn't that a bit inappropriate? " Wang Kai said carefully.

"What's wrong with that?"

"I... Our soldiers are often injured, especially when the Hedong is hot and humid. The soldiers come from the dry Feng Country, their bodies are covered with many poison and sores, and their skin is extremely festering. There must be injuries in five of the ten formations. The war will be disadvantageous to our army. " Wang Kai pretended to be calm and analyzed.

After Tang Yin heard this, he immediately felt that there was no taste in his mouth. He put down his tableware, silently drank a cup of tea, and then looked towards Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Zi Ying and Gu Yue, asking them if there was anything wrong. Xiao Muqing and the other two looked troubled, as they slowly nodded their heads. After he finished watching, Tang Yin knew that Wang Kai was not lying. If it was really like this, the entire army really would need a good rest.

His eyes moved and turned, casually saying: "Master Wang, you actually know our army's situation quite well!"

It had to be said that the County Head was not in contact with the army under the Feng Country system, and the situation within the army had nothing to do with the County Head either. Now that Tang Yin had asked him this question, Wang Kai was really caught off guard. However, he reacted quickly and said, "The army needs the medicines to buy, but the amount is so huge that I don't know if anyone will take it and check it out properly. Therefore, I want to know more about the military."2

It was hard to find any fault with his words. Tang Yin nodded and thought for a while, then asked: "How about my army temporarily rest at the Qingyuan for three days?"

Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Zi Ying and Gu Yue anxiously cupped their hands and replied: "That would be the best." Forget about resting for three days, even if he had to rest for three months, it would be fine.

Seeing that the four of them did not object, Tang Yin picked up his chopsticks again and continued to eat, saying: "Then let's rest for three days! Since Zhangsun Yuanhong has retreated to the west of the river, all the ships at the east coast must have been snatched away by him. We need to investigate along the river and borrow boats from the citizens who have boats at home.

"This lowly general understands!"

Xiao Muqing and the other three answered as they cupped their hands.

Tang Yin reminded her while she was eating: "Water battles are not our specialties, it will not be easy to fight them. We will need to recruit water soldiers on the spot, as long as they are good at swimming or know how to fight water battles, no matter if they are Wind People or Ning People, they will all be recruited into the army. If you have more silver taels for the army, you can have more.

After Xiao Muqing heard this, his spirit shook, and he cupped his hands and said: "Great King Ming Zang! Tomorrow... No, today I will rush to the Zhang River and recruit the water army. "

Tang Yin nodded his head, and laughed: "Alright! You can calculate how much money it will cost yourself. After deciding on it, you don't need to report it to me and you can just directly ask Master Wang for it. " While speaking, he turned to Wang Kai and said, "Master Wang, do you still have a lot of silver left in the county's Silver Bank? You need to try your best to cooperate with General Xiao. "

"Yes!" "Great King!" Wang Kai summoned up his courage and agreed. At the same time, he felt both respect and hatred for Tang Yin. He admired Tang Yin's cleverness and agility, even if he could make up for the deficiency in the water battle of the Feng Army, he could also make up for the fighting strength used by the injuries on the Feng Army. Hateful, Tang Yin's method of taking advantage of people to fight was too vicious, regardless of whether the outcome of the battle was good or bad, it was still Ning Country that suffered in the end.

Seeing that Xiao Muqing wanted to go to the Zhang River area to recruit more water army, Liang Qi, Zi Ying and the other two were not willing to be left behind, and one after another, expressed that they would go together with Xiao Muqing. Tang Yin, on the other hand, was more than happy to see the scene of the Four Great Army fighting.

Tang Yin handed all the preparation for the Crossing River battle to the commander of the four armies. He was happy for his leisure and prepared to rest at Qingyuan City for three days.

's serious injuries did not affect his outstanding military strategy nor talent. He had already set up a big trap for Tang Yin in the western bank of the Zhang River, and was only waiting for him to attack.
