Zhang Xin originally wanted to poke fun at Qiu Zhen, but did not realize that he had also poached Tang Yin. Tang Yin personally commanding the entire army, if the battle was disadvantageous to him, of course he had to bear the responsibility.
Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Xin realized that he spoke incorrectly and peeked a glance at Tang Yin's expression. As expected, the latter's face became gloomy.
Just as he was thinking about how to make up for his mistake, Cai Gui suddenly opened his mouth and said: "My King, actually breaking Fengyang, and even the entire Xishan County, isn't a difficult matter."
"Oh?" Hearing that, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked towards Cai Gui. Tang Yin was also shocked, and asked: "Cai Gui, what brilliant plan do you have?"
Cai Gui laughed, then asked: "What does Your Majesty think of the relationship between Shao Fang and Shao Yu?"
Tang Yin seriously thought for a moment, then said: "Shao Fang definitely wants to kill Shao Yu, to cut off the roots of the Shao Family within Mo Country, but because of the steep nature of the Xishan County, he does not dare to touch; Shao Yu also definitely knows what Shao Fang is thinking, so he will naturally be on his guard against Shao Fang. I think that a large part of the reason why Fengyang is so well-prepared for this battle is to guard against Shao Fang. "
"That's right!" Cai Gui repeatedly nodded his head, and praised: "The King is wise, to be clear-headed! Shao Fang and Shao Yu are dukes of the same sect, but in reality, they are on guard against each other, hostile towards each other and having their own concerns. Therefore, this humble subject believes that attacking Xishan County is not the best plan, and this will only force Shao Yu into a corner, fighting to the death with my army. If our army can use the gap between Shao Fang and us to recruit Shao Yu, not only would we be able to prevent the suffering of our soldiers, we would also be able to make the King tame our entire Xishan County. This subject thinks that this is the best strategy. " Cai Gui spoke with assurance. Listening to him, he did not want to say that he was new here, and felt that he was extremely familiar with the Feng Mo Battlefield, and also extremely familiar with the relationships within the Mo Country.
Only Zhang Xin frowned tightly. He did not think that Cai Gui's plan was wrong, but rather, he was muttering to himself about why Cai Gui's plan was so scheming so hard, from Ning Country to Mo Country, he had not said a single word about Mo Country along the way. However, the moment he saw the King, he immediately suggested a plan to subdue him, and she was not simple at all!
Tang Yin blinked his eyes, and started to carefully mull over Cai Gui's words. After a while, he sneered and said: "Shao Yu killed General Li Sheng, and also harmed over ten thousand of my brothers. If I don't take revenge for this, it will be difficult to erase the hatred in my heart!"
Cai Gui said with a stern expression: "As long as we can recruit Shao Yu, and have him bow down to the King, the King will not be worried about not finding a chance to kill him in the future."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes, then laughed out loud and asked: "Cai Gui, then what do you think are the chances of recruiting Shao Yu?"
Cai Gui didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "If this matter is handled by this humble subject, this humble subject has full confidence in winning."
"Oh?" Tang Yin never thought that Cai Gui's confidence would actually be so strong.
Zhang Xin said coldly from the side: "Cai Gui, do not speak nonsense in front of the King, otherwise, you are guilty of bullying the King, you must be punished with extreme punishment!"
Cai Gui cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said: "This humble subject is willing to issue a military order to the King!"
Tang Yin was startled, then laughed out loud. He waved his hand and said: "There is no need to set up the military order. This matter, This King can leave it to you to handle. If you fail, This King will not punish you. If successful, This King will continuously raise you by three levels! "
Cai Gui knelt down and kowtowed, and sang loudly: "This humble subject thanks Great King!"
Listening to what he said, it seemed like victory was already in their hands, they could not understand where Cai Gui's confidence came from. That's right, there were gaps and contradictions between Shao Fang and himself, but recruiting Shao Yu was still not easy, at least no one had expected that they would do so.
Tang Yin was not completely clueless about Cai Gui. He had long heard from Le Tian and Ai Jia that Cai Song was a person with a mediocre mind who was insatiable and greedy, while his son Cai Gui was a resourceful man who was not someone to be trifled with. Now that Cai Gui was so confident, Tang Yin was also full of expectations. He laughed and asked: "Cai Gui, tell me first, what do we want to do with the first step of recruiting Shao Yu?"
"Retreat!"
"What?" Everyone's eyes widened at the same time.
Cai Gui said word by word: "If we want to subdue Shao Yu, our soldiers will have to retreat!" He paused for a moment, looked straight at Tang Yin, and said: "Since Your Majesty has asked this humble subject to do this, then you should fully trust this humble subject's judgement and actions."
Tang Yin looked at Cai Gui's eyes and did not speak for a long time.
At this time, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan both stepped forward, interposed and bowed, and said: "Great King, I believe that our army cannot retreat now. Our army is at the Western Mountain Pass, and we can only create pressure for Shao Yu, and have the possibility of forcing him to surrender.
The other generals nodded their heads in agreement with what Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan had said. Tang Yin still did not reply, and continued to look at Cai Gui. The latter smirked slightly, revealing a hint of ridicule. However, it quickly disappeared and he lowered his head without saying a word.
Tang Yin did not ignore the change in Cai Gui's expression, and asked while smiling: "Cai Gui, could it be that you have nothing to say?"
Cai Gui bowed and said: "This humble subject has already said what I wanted to say. If Your Majesty trusts this humble subject, then I will take care of this matter.
Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then made a decision and patted the table: "Good! This King believes that this time, he will pass down the order for our troops to leave the camp and retreat! "
"Great King!"
"Generals, there is no need to say anymore. I have made up my mind!"
Strictly speaking, Tang Yin was not a person with exceptional abilities. However, he had an important advantage, which was that he was a good man and was decisive in situations. The reason why he could reject everyone's opinion and accept Cai Gui's opinion was because he had his own thoughts.2
Firstly, he had more or less heard some things about Cai Gui, he knew that this person was extremely shrewd and good at strategy. Secondly, he did not think that Cai Gui would have the guts to speak carelessly in front of him, even if he did not care about his own life.
According to Cai Gui's plan, Feng Army would choose to withdraw, but the withdrawal of Feng Army would only mean the withdrawal of Xishan County, not Mo Country. On the contrary, the Directly Subordinate Army would continue to head south, deeper into the heart of the Mo Country.
On the night of the withdrawal, Tang Yin found Cai Gui and the two of them talked with each other in Tang Yin's tent throughout the night. Since no one was present, no one knew what the two of them talked about the entire night.
After sending off Cai Gui, Tang Yin immediately got people to call Shao Jun over. After meeting him, Tang Yin first spoke out: "Royal Brother Shao, this king had already planned to help you establish a proper King Mo regime in the north of the Mo Country."
Shao Jun nodded his head in puzzlement. He had heard Tang Yin mention this before, but he didn't know what it meant.
Tang Yin continued, "If you want to establish a new emperor in the north of Mo Country, whether or not Xishan County can submit to you is of utmost importance. As Shao Yu is your clan's relative, this king plans to trouble Royal Brother Shao to personally make a trip to the Xishan County to meet Shao Yu and advise him to surrender. "
"Pu!" Shao Jun almost vomited blood. The relationship between him and Shao Yu was as calm as water. Moreover, in the name of the current situation, he was a traitor to Mo Country, and Shao Yu was even a County Head of the Mo Country. If he were to go with the Xishan County to subdue, wouldn't that just be sending a sheep into a tiger's den, seeking his own doom?
Shao Jun was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses. With a flop, he knelt on the ground as his tears and mucus flowed down, begging with a trembling voice: "Feng King wants me to go down Shao Yu, it's equivalent to sending me to my death! Feng King is magnanimous, let me go ? "
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupting Shao Yu's begging, and said. "Royal Brother Shao, don't be nervous, since this king was willing to save you back then, I definitely won't harm you. This time, since you allowed Royal Brother Shao to persuade Shao Yu to surrender, this king has full confidence that whether he succeeds or not, Shao Yu will not hurt you. "
[You speak so lightly. If you are so confident, why don't you try persuading me to surrender?] Shao Jun muttered in his heart, but his face was still covered with tears and snot.
Tang Yin laughed and said, "Also, this king will send another person to accompany you. When I see Shao Yu, I can help you out."
Shao Jun stopped crying and asked shakily, "I don't know ? Who will Feng King send to protect me? "
Tang Yin replied: "Cai Gui!"
He thought that Tang Yin would send him a general, but he never thought that it would actually be a civil servant, and a sixth grade little civil servant. To send such a person to accompany him, it wasn't to help him, nor was it to protect him, it was more so to accompany him in death.
It wasn't easy for a man to cry like this. Tang Yin laughed in his heart as he stood up and slowly walked to Shao Jun. He first lightly patted him on the shoulder, and then, he supported him up as he said in a gentle voice, "Royal Brother Shao, this king can assure you that your persuasion this time will not cause any danger. Could it be that you don't trust this king?"
"No, no, no! Of course I believe in Feng King, but ? "
Without waiting for him to finish, Tang Yin spoke first, "Since you trust this duke, then do as this duke says! When this matter is completed, you can naturally become the new Duke of Mo Country. "
"But ? but ?"
"Someone, come!" Tang Yin shouted towards the outside of the tent.
"What orders does the King have?" Ah San and Ah Si walked in from the outside and interfered in the greeting.
"Arrange for the carriages and send the elites of our army to escort Royal Brother Shao to the Fengyang!"
"Yes sir!" Ah San agreed and then walked in front of the dumbstruck Shao Jun, made a gesture to invite him in and said: "Your Highness, please!"
Tang Yin was simply pushing a duck into a fight, forcefully pinning Shao Jun down to the Xishan County to persuade him to surrender. Of course, he wasn't worried that things wouldn't go smoothly, because the person accompanying Shao Jun was Cai Gui.
