Liang Qi wanting to give the Feng Army army camp to his side, was completely out of Xu Qing's expectations. The latter was stunned for a long time before reacting, surprised and happy, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed, and thanked him profusely.

Feng Army had given away their own camp to Huan Army. It seemed very generous, but in reality, not much had been left behind. It was just some tents, food, medicine, and other necessities. The Huan Army had plundered all the weapons, armor, war horses, provisions and all sorts of supplies. With over seventy thousand Huan Army s, almost all of them came home empty-handed.

Ann Army and Huan Army had successively been defeated by Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army, and to a certain extent, this had greatly reduced the pressure on Feng Country. At least, they no longer had to worry about any trouble happening over at Ning Country anymore.

After the victory, Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army had originally planned to return to the Ba Pass, but at this time, the two armies received Tang Yin's military order, causing them to temporarily stop returning to the pass, and instead camp there and then at the Mo Country.

Tang Yin had his think tank by his side, and all the strategists believed that Pingyuan Army was not suitable for him to return to the Ba Pass.

Moreover, using such an elite two legions as defense, was simply too much of a waste. Second, when the two armies of the Chuan Country And Zhen Country and the two nations arrived at the Ba Pass, their own forces would also need to be outside of the Ba Pass to contain the enemy. Tang Yin carefully thought about it, and felt that the idea made sense, he immediately sent orders to Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi, asking them to stay in Mo Country, in case there was a need for it.

Now that Tang Yin had reached the Ba Pass, the strength of his Ba Pass had increased exponentially as well.

Currently, there were sixty thousand Ba Pass guarded troops led by Ying Bu, a hundred thousand Chifeng Army led by Peng Haochu, seventy to eighty thousand new troops led by Nan Ye, a hundred and fifty thousand Xijing Army led by Zuo Shuang, and nearly a hundred thousand Directly Subordinate Army s.

Not counting Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army, just the number of soldiers defending one place was about to reach five hundred thousand. However, nearly half of them were Ning Country troops, so it was unknown whether they would be able to be of any use on the battlefield.

Due to the impending great war, the citizens of the Ba Pass and the families of the troops accompanying them had been completely emptied. The city was completely filled with Feng Army, and all kinds of defensive weapons were continuously pushed up against the city walls and piled up on top of the city walls.

The General's Mansion inside the pass had never been so lively before. Tang Yin lived in the General's Mansion, and here, it became the command center and hub of all the Feng Army. Inside and outside the place, there were many Guard of Feng Country s and sentries, and many Soldiers And Generals of Feng Army s went in and out, extremely busy.

In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Tang Yin was there, the generals of the various armies were there, and so were many of the strategists.

Everyone looked down on the other party and thought that they should give the Son of Heaven to the two countries as a condition for the two countries to withdraw their troops. As long as the two armies retreated, a war would definitely break out between the two nations' Chuan Country And Zhen Country before long, and at that time, the Wind Wing Alliance would not be able to break down on its own.

The other part of the strategists were opposed to this, as the representative was Qiu Zhen. Leaving the Son of Heaven behind in the Feng Country, Qiu Zhen truly, truly felt the great benefits that the Feng Country had brought to him. With the Son of Heaven there, no matter what the Feng Country did, it was always righteous. With the Son of Heaven there, Feng Country would always stand at the pinnacle of morals, which was too important in this chaotic world.

Regarding whether or not to hand over the Son of Heaven, Tang Yin would obviously stand on Qiu Zhen's side. And in his opinion, this battle with Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country was something that had to be fought, whether or not Feng Country could truly rise in power, whether or not it could receive the respect and attention of the other nations, and whether or not they could win this battle, would depend on Feng Country becoming the ruler of the north.

That night, Tang Yin went on patrol atop the city gate tower. After knowing that the King had arrived, Ying Bu who was overseeing the operation on the city walls immediately ran over to pay his respects.

Tang Yin laughed and asked: "General Ying Bu is still awake?"

Ying Bu said with a stern expression, "This general is unable to sleep, so I'm going to the top of the city to see how the defense is doing."

Tang Yin laughed, "I thought I was the only one who couldn't fall asleep!"

Seeing that Tang Yin's happy mood was not bad, he felt a lot more relaxed and said: "Great King, there was another person who came a step earlier than you."

"Oh? "Who is it?"

"General Zuo Shuang."

Zuo Shuang? Tang Yin was startled, and asked: "What did he come here for?"

"He's the same as the King. He's here to patrol the city's defenses."

Tang Yin looked around, but did not see any trace of Zuo Shuang, so he asked: "Did you go back now?"

"Not yet, General Zuo Shuang should be at the Western City Wall right now." Ying Bu replied.

Tang Yin nodded his head, with his hands behind his back, he walked towards the west wall and said: "Let's go and take a look."

While walking towards the west side, Tang Yin also checked on the defenses of the city walls. There were already many Rolling Lumber And Stone s, with every few steps there would be a pile, like a small mountain. On top of that, there were also a lot of City-breaking Crossbow s and Army-broking Crossbow s erected on the city walls.

Ying Bu explained from the side: "Army-broking Crossbow can be used to kill enemy soldiers who are attacking the city, but the range of City-breaking Crossbow can be used to deal with enemy Trebuchet. As long as we can destroy their Trebuchet, our pressure will be greatly reduced."

Tang Yin secretly thought that it made sense. Ying Bu was indeed worthy of being the old general who guarded the city.

Ying Bu lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your praise, Great King."0

The two of them chatted as they walked, unknowingly arriving at the western city wall. Lifting their heads to look ahead, they saw Zuo Shuang not too far away, holding onto the arrow stack, stretching his neck and looking out.

Not knowing what he was looking at, Tang Yin walked forward, Zuo Shuang did not notice that Tang Yin had arrived, but when the two guards saw him, they hurried to greet him. Tang Yin waved his hand, signalling for the two of them not to make any noise, then walked behind Zuo Shuang and looked out.

Tang Yin shook his head helplessly and asked: "What is General Zuo Shuang observing?"

Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind him. Zuo Shuang jumped in shock and subconsciously turned around, seeing that it was Tang Yin and Ying Bu who were standing behind him.

Tang Yin waved his hands and asked: "Outside of the city, it's all plains. What is General Zuo Shuang looking at?"

Zuo Shuang said: "I am looking at the plains outside."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.

Zuo Shuang continued: "Ba Pass is known as a heavenly danger, but from what I can see, it's not that way. The plains outside the city are extremely vast, and can not only accommodate the million strong army, it is also good for them to launch their attack.

Ying Bu didn't like hearing these words. He had already been the Ba Pass Master for seven or eight years and his Ba Pass was as firm as gold, he had never lost anything.

He took a deep breath and said proudly: "General Zuo Shuang used to live in the Ning Country, so he was not clear about my situation with regards to Feng Country. In the past, when Feng Country And Mo Country were on bad terms, he relied entirely on Ba Pass to reject Mo Army from foreign countries."

Zuo Shuang sighed and lowered his head, not saying a word. Moreover, he was the dignified commander of a troop. However, Ying Bu's tone was filled with contempt, for him, as he said it with a tone full of contempt. After all, in terms of army ranks, the two of them were still several levels apart.

Tang Yin detected Zuo Shuang's distress and he was slightly startled. He immediately said to Ying Bu: "General Ying Bu, General Zuo's concerns are not unreasonable. General Zuo is a former General of Ning Country, so it is reasonable for you to not understand the situation of my Feng Country. You can explain it to General Zuo, but you need to pay attention to your tone. "

Perhaps Ying Bu would not agree with what the others said, but he did not dare to disobey them. He hastily bowed and said, "Yes, your Majesty." Then, he cupped his hands towards Zuo Shuang and said: "This general is lacking in manners."

Never would he have thought that Tang Yin would actually protect this "outsider" to his surprise, which greatly moved Zuo Shuang. He immediately replied back: "General Ying Bu is too courteous."

Tang Yin was not in the mood to listen to their pleasantries. He asked straightforwardly, "General Zuo, do you think there are any other areas in the Ba Pass City that need to be supplemented?"

Zuo Shuang muttered to himself, and said: "The city defense that General Ying Bu had set up was perfect, and he had already done what he could and what he should have done. This lowly general feels that it's fine if you can keep a rule in a place like this, but you can't just abandon it. "

These words caused the complexions of both Tang Yin and Ying Bu to change at the same time. Especially Ying Bu, Zuo Shuang's words had touched upon his very core. He clenched his fists and suppressed his anger, trying his best to speak in a gentle tone: "General Zuo Shuang, the Ba Pass is the southern entrance of our country. Once the Ba Pass falls, the enemy forces will be able to rush straight north all the way to Yan City."

Zuo Shuang replied: "Throwing a barrier is not the same as exterminating a nation, lure the enemy into the wind... If we were to defend the Ba Pass to the death, the two armies would consume each other's forces and eventually, when we have exhausted all of our forces, we would be at a disadvantage. When both sides' forces are used up, we will have no more reinforcements, and the forces of Chuan Country And Zhen Country will be transferred from the local territory to the other side, and at that time, what are we going to use to resist them? Putting the entire country's strength into a mere fortress, I feel that ? It's not an act of wisdom. "

Ying Bu scoffed, and said: "If there's a danger that I can't defend, do I have to give it up to the enemy? To lure the enemy into battle on the mainland would sound light and easy, but how many civilians would be massacred by the enemy at that time? How many cities would be looted by the enemy? Has General Zuo Shuang considered these before? "

Hearing the duo's argument, Tang Yin slowly frowned, raising his head and looking outside the city.

Ying Bu was right, but Zuo Shuang's words also had his own reasons, it was hard to say who was right and wrong, in fact, wasn't war a gamble too? As long as the war was not over, as long as the two sides had not been able to determine the victor, it was hard to say whether their initial decision had been the right one or the wrong one.
