Tang Yin rubbed his chin, he muttered to himself for a long time, and then asked: "Zi Ying, what do you think?"

Zi Ying said: "If we attack forcefully, I'm afraid that all of our troops will die."

At this time, Xiao Muqing also climbed up, after hearing Zi Ying's words, he immediately followed up: "We did not receive any damage, but the assault will cause heavy losses for our troops."

Tang Yin asked: "Muqing, do you also think that it will be difficult for our army to win this battle?"

"Yes, my lord." Xiao Muqing laughed bitterly: "If we want to forcefully pass through Zhang River, our warships must at least be on a par with the Ning Army. Otherwise, it'll be hard for us to win."

These words were tantamount to nonsense. The shipbuilding industry of Feng Country was extremely backward, and there had never been a water war either. There were no water armies in the country, nor any large scale warships, so to build a fleet of the size of the other side, would probably take at least three to five years. Tang Yin had already made up his mind to eliminate the threat, how could he wait that long?

Without saying a word, he turned and went down the watchtower, and then returned to the Central Army Tent with large strides. The other generals looked at each other, none of them daring to speak as they silently followed Tang Yin back to the tent. Tang Yin paced back and forth on the handsome table, his mind spun, and he pondered deeply on how he could successfully pass through the Zhang River.

Tang Yin did not believe that this insignificant Zhang River in front of him was able to stop his own great army from advancing westward. But how could they successfully cross it? Tang Yin pondered for a long time, then suddenly remembered that the situation when he was crossing Pan River was about the same as the current one. Since the enemy was stronger than him, he might as well avoid the danger and find a hidden place to quietly cross the river.

Thinking about it, he raised his head and said: "Le Tian, Ai Jia!"

"This lowly general is here!" Hearing his summons, Le Tian and Ai Jia immediately walked out and greeted him with clasped hands.

Tang Yin said in a serious tone: "The two of you go quickly and investigate and see if there are any weak and concealed areas along the coast of Zhang River. It's best if you can draw a rough outline for me in three days."

"Yes!" "Great King!" Le Tian and Ai Jia promised each other as they turned around and left in a hurry.

Tang Yin said to the generals on the left and right, "I believe the generals have yet to forget, back then when our army was crossing Pan River, we were hiding from the enemies and stealthily went to the other side. The Zhang River was much longer than the Pan River, so it is impossible for the Ning Army to be on guard everywhere.

Hearing him say that, Xiao Muqing and the rest all nodded their heads, if they could pass through the gaps in the enemies' defenses with their Zhang River, that would be the best, as long as they could get ashore and fight on the land, Generals And Soldiers of Self Army had never been afraid of anyone! This time, without waiting for the others to speak, Xiao Muqing took the initiative to praise them: "The King is truly wise, this is a very good plan."

Tang Yin grinned, he slowly sat down, his body leaned back, and sunk into deep thought. What he needed to do now was to wait, to wait for Le Tian and Ai Jia to bring back the news.

Le Tian and Ai Jia did not waste three days' time, but on the evening of the next day, the two hurriedly returned to the Feng Army Camp. Seeing Tang Yin, Ai Jia took out the Zhang River map that she drew and laid it on the table, then said happily: "Great King, I have found a good place that is suitable for our army to smuggle."

"Oh?" Tang Yin's spirit was lifted, and he immediately said: "Show me."

"It's here!" Ai Jia pointed to the map and said, following that, she continued: "Ning Jun's defensive area is ten miles from the north and south, while this place is twenty miles away from the south side of the Ning Army Camp, the water flow here is gentle, and the river surface is also narrow. Most importantly, on the other side of the river is a large dense forest, after our army lands, we can immediately conceal ourselves within it and complete all the preparations for the battle."

Tang Yin's eyes lit up, this was a rare opportunity! He turned and looked at Le Tian, asking him if the place was as Ai Jia said. Le Tian smiled and nodded: "This general's scouting is similar to General Ai's. This place is indeed suitable for our army to use as smuggling."

Le Tian and Ai Jia's investigation results were the same, which allowed Tang Yin to completely relax. He clapped his hands and smiled, lowered his head, looked at the map for a while, then said loudly: "Gather all the generals, come to Central Army Tent meeting!"

"Yes sir!"

With Tang Yin's order, all the generals of the Feng Army rushed to the Central Army Tent. When everyone was present, Tang Yin indicated to Ai Jia and the latter took out a map, giving a detailed explanation for them. When everyone heard Ai Jia's introduction, they were both surprised and happy. With such a convenient crossing point, their side's crossing of the river was not without possibility.

"Generals, let's see, when should our army attack?" Tang Yin chuckled as he looked at the crowd.

"Great King!" Just then, Yuan Fang cupped his hands and bowed to Tang Yin, and said: "This is a very important matter, this humble subject feels that we should be more careful."

Hearing this, Le Tian and Ai Jia frowned at the same time. The former did not say much, but Ai Jia revealed an expression of displeasure, and asked with a cold smile. "Does Mr. Yuan Fang think that our investigation was wrong?"

Yuan Fang laughed, and said: "No, no, no, this is not my intention, but from what I know, Zhangsun Yuanhong is an extremely good soldier, he has such a vast loophole, and it is unlikely that he did not investigate it, I suspect that Zhangsun Yuanhong set this up on purpose to send a loophole to us, to lure our army in?"

"What a joke!" Ai Jia laughed and said: "I have already said it before, Ning Jun's defense line is 10 li from the north to the south, and this place is about 10 li from the Ning Camp. So, it is normal that did not realize that Ning Jun'er's defense line did not extend to this place."

Yuan Fang faintly sighed, and said: "Even though what you say is true, our army cannot not be on guard! General Ai also said that the other side of the forest is suitable for our troops to hide on the spot once they reach the shore of the lake, but it is also suitable for the enemies to ambush us. If the Ning Army were to set up an ambush in the forest, wouldn't the soldiers of our army who cross the river be completely exposed under the enemy's arrow formation? "

Ai Jia's face flushed red. She glared at Yuan Fang with her phoenix eyes for a long while before speaking in an angry tone, "Bullshit, you're just spouting nonsense! Mr. Yuan Fang is a normal human, the person who has the most authority in this place is you, who knows what intentions you have?! "

Her words were something that everyone present was worried about, it was just that no one had the nerve to say it out loud, it was too hurtful, what if Yuan Fang truly joined their side?

Indeed. After Tang Yin heard what Ai Jia had said, his face darkened and he said, "General Ai, pay attention to your words. Since Mr. Yuan Fang has pledged his allegiance to our army, he is our brother. Even if they had their suspicions, they couldn't publicly expose them. They had to investigate in secret. He added in his heart. Although Yuan Fang had helped Tang Yin before, the latter did not have a 100% trust in him.0

Hearing Tang Yin's reprimand, Ai Jia secretly stuck out her tongue. She also realized that her words were too harsh and bowed her head as she replied, "Your Majesty taught me a lesson right, this lowly general understands."

Tang Yin smiled apologetically at Yuan Fang, and said: "Mr. Yuan Fang, what General Ai said just now was something out of anger, don't take it to heart."

Yuan Fang's face was calm as he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are too serious."

Seeing Yuan Fang's reaction, Tang Yin frowned instead. According to what Yuan Fang had said, he was a travelling adventurer, and rangers always put their dignity to the utmost, when Ai Jia was so blunt just now, Yuan Fang should be extremely unhappy. But now, looking at him as if nothing had happened, he really had this kind of mindset?

Just when Tang Yin was feeling suspicious, Le Tian laughed and walked out, and said: "Mr. Yuan Fang is overthinking things, I have already sent my subordinates to secretly go to the other side to investigate if there are any ambushes in the forest, I will get the information by tomorrow at the latest."

Oh? Yuan Fang was startled, then nodded with a smile, and said: "General Le's thoughts are extremely meticulous, truly admirable."

With the great battle nearing, Tang Yin was too lazy to think about Yuan Fang. As long as he had people watch him closely, he would not need to worry about any tricks he might play. Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up straight, looked at the people around him, and said seriously: "Everyone go back and prepare yourself, as long as we investigate and see that there are no hidden troops on the other side of the river, our army will cross Zhang River at night!"

"Yes!" "Great King!"

All the generals intervened as they received their orders, before turning to leave. When Cheng Jin wanted to leave with the rest, Tang Yin called out to him. After everyone had left their camp, he called Cheng Jin over to himself and instructed him in a low voice: "Cheng Jin, send out two capable brothers, disguise themselves as guards to keep an eye on Yuan Fang. This battle is of the utmost importance, and our troops' information must not be leaked out. "

Cheng Jin nodded his head, then asked: "Great King thinks that Yuan Fang has a problem?"

Tang Yin laughed and said: "It's still hard to say, but he's a person of peace, and just joined our army, it's best to be careful."

Cheng Jin acknowledged her, then revealed a difficult expression, wanting to say something but stopped himself. Seeing that, Tang Yin laughed, he raised his head and said: "If you have something to say, then say it."

"My King, although Yuan Fang's cultivation is not very deep, he is still a Spirit Cultivator. To be able to distinguish between a Spirit Cultivator of Light and a Spirit Cultivator of Dark, and to let the hidden arrow brothers disguise themselves as guards, I'm afraid Yuan Fang would be able to tell." Cheng Jin said worriedly.

That was a problem. Tang Yin tapped his forehead, and said: "How about this, you choose a few more people from my group of guards, finish giving the order, and then send them over to Yuan Fang's group."

"Yes!" Great King! Your subordinate understands. " Cheng Jin cupped his hands and turned.

Looking at the empty tent, he slowly sat down and sighed softly. Whether or not he could eliminate Ning, whether or not he could leave an unrivalled achievement in the history of Feng Country, would all depend on tomorrow's battle. If the battle was successful, their side would no longer have any resistance, and could attack the Liangzhou in one go. If they failed, not only would they not be able to exterminate the Ning Country, the Hedong Region that they had just fought down would also be in danger. As the ruler of a nation and as the general of an army, Tang Yin gradually realized that this position wasn't that easy to sit on. While possessing supreme authority, he also carried a heavy burden, responsibility, and pressure on himself.

I hope that this battle will be like the battle of Pan River, successful in one blow! Tang Yin muttered in his heart. However, he had never expected that the progress of the war would go against his wishes.
