Shao Fang was flabbergasted, and looked at him in puzzlement.

Tang Yin said: "It is not necessarily true that Brother Shao wants to marry King Yu, it is the true plan to swallow Yu Country. Brother Shao only used two countries worth of land to exchange for me to send troops to help you, and help you annex Yu Country. Tang Yin directly spoke out, letting Shao Fang understand that he wasn't some fool who didn't understand anything, and that he knew what kind of plan Yue Yang had in mind.

Having his thoughts exposed by Tang Yin, Shao Fang's face did not redden at all, nor did he gasp for breath. He smiled leisurely, and said: "Feng Country And Mo Country are an ally, could it be that Younger Royal Brother Tang does not want to change from being an alliance of two nations to an alliance of three kingdoms?"

"But the Brother Shao swallowed the Yu Country, I only got two counties, and there was even Zhangsun Yuanhong, the bone that was hard to accept. Brother Shao isn't asking me to two counties, but to give me a big trouble. " Tang Yin said helplessly.

Shao Fang sighed secretly, and turned to look at Grand Preceptor who was accompanying him. The latter rolled her eyes, secretly giving Shao Fang a look, indicating that he could now change the conditions.

Receiving Zhang Rong's signal, Shao Fang laughed heartily, and said: "Other than the two counties that Zhangsun Yuanhong occupies, I have also added Kou and the two counties, and together we have four counties. How about it, Younger Royal Brother Tang?"

Upper Mouth County and Bai Hui County were located in the southern part of Ning Country. They had many rivers and rivers in their territory. Mo Country and Feng Country originally took eight counties each, but now that Shao Fang wanted to give up four counties, it could be said to be cutting meat.

Shao Fang was so magnanimous, yet was willing to give up four countries. From this, it could be seen how much importance he placed on Yu Country.

Tang Yin didn't say anything else. Although the Ning Country of four countries wasn't as great as the entire Yu Country, it wasn't by much either. If he could smoothly take it down, the strength of his Feng Country would also increase greatly. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is Brother Shao's words true?"

"Of course!"

"A promise from a king!"

"A whip attack!" Shao Fang's face revealed joy as he asked: So that means, Younger Royal Brother Tang accepts it?

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Brother Shao helped me before, so it is only right for me to help Brother Shao now. "If the two of us are united, then we are strong. If we divide, then we are weak. I understand this principle."

Hearing him agree to this matter, Shao Fang was very happy, he laughed out loud and said: "I have not misjudged Younger Royal Brother Tang's character, this time, I have finally made a worthwhile trip."

Tang Yin asked: "I wonder when Brother Shao will send out his troops?"

"There's no time to lose. The sooner the better." Shao Fang asked sternly: "I wonder how many troops Younger Royal Brother Tang is able to send?" Ever since he saw Tang Yin, he had been saying that the Feng Country was currently in disarray, and the national power was extremely weak. He had agreed to send out troops, but if he only sent out tens of thousands of troops, he might as well not send them out.

Tang Yin detected his concern and asked: "How about four hundred thousand?"

Hearing that, Shao Fang's spirit was immediately lifted, an army of four hundred thousand, it couldn't have been better, when the Feng Country And Mo Country was extinguished, the number of people in the Feng Army was not even one hundred thousand! He laughed: "If Younger Royal Brother Tang can really send out four hundred thousand troops, a big deal will be accomplished."

Tang Yin said: "Alright! Then let's make a deal! "

"It's a deal!"

The current number of people in the Feng Country was not small, it could even be said to be astonishingly large. Ten Pingyuan Army Legions, ten Sanshui Army Legions, ten Directly Subordinate Army Legions, ten Heavenly Eagle Army Legions, ten Huwei Army Legions, ten Huwei Army Legions, fifteen Feilong Army Legions, and in addition to the new recruits, the Central Army's total was already close to a million.

Even so, there were still five legions of people left in the Feng Country. If Tang Yin wanted to send out four hundred thousand people, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.

Tang Yin and Shao Fang quickly decided on the time and place to send their troops out. According to Tang Yin's intentions, this time, Feng Army would dispatch a troop of four hundred thousand and leave at the end of this month. They would be stationed in the Tianshui County at the border of Mo and Yu, and with the army of five hundred thousand, they would be stationed in the same Tianshui County.

Of course, Tang Yin did not forget to cry because an army of four hundred thousand would need to pass through Feng Country s and Mo Country s to reach Tianshui County. Shao Fang was generous, and promised to pay five hundred thousand gold coins for Feng Country and one million stones for food.

Using a stone at 100 jins, 1 million stones was equivalent to 50 million kilograms. It seemed like a huge number, but in truth, these grains were only enough to feed the 400,000 strong army for two months or so. This was the cost of war. Even if they didn't fight or die, the daily cost of food and money was astronomical.

If the army did not move out and stayed in the encampment, the problem of food and fodder could be solved through farming. It was basically self-sufficient. This was the reason why war consumed so much money and food.

He felt that the price that Shao Fang offered was not small, but it was still something that Tang Yin could barely accept. Following that, Shao Fang changed the topic of the conversation and said: "Younger Royal Brother Tang, before we attack, you have to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Have the Son of Heaven issue an edict bestowing the marriage." Shao Fang's eyes lit up, and said: "If our two nations rashly send out their troops, send out their teachers without a name, and let the others speak the truth, if the Son of Heaven bestows the marriage and the Yu Country does not, then it would be a mistake on the part of our Yu Country, our troops would become a righteous army!"

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, and praised his strength in his heart! He was not praising Shao Fang, but Shangguan Yuanji. As for what Shao Fang was thinking in his heart, it was all within Shangguan Yuanji's expectations. Long ago last night, Shangguan Yuanji had said that Shao Fang would ask Tang Yin, the son of heaven, to bestow the marriage upon him.

Since he had already heard Shangguan Yuanji's analysis, Tang Yin was not surprised at all. He smiled and nodded, and said: "This matter is easy to handle, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the Son of Heaven to ask for an order!"2

To ask Yin Zhun to give such a command, Tang Yin did not even need to personally step in.

After Shao Fang heard this, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction. Then, he said in an envious and emotional voice, "Holding the Son of Heaven in your hands, no matter what you do, you will achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

Tang Yin felt that it was funny and looked at Shao Fang. Now you understand that you have obtained the benefits of the Son of Heaven.

Shao Fang's mission at the Feng Country went smoothly, and he only stayed there for three days before setting off and returning back home.

After trying to rope in the army with Feng Country and successfully getting the Son of Heaven to decree their marriage, the matter was already set in stone. Shao Fang also needed to return and prepare.

When Tang Yin sent him out of the city, he asked Tang Yin to go to the battlefield with the great army. Perhaps, they might be able to catch up to the marriage between him and King Yu Ling Shuang. The marriage of two monarchs was an unprecedented novelty. If they missed it, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Tang Yin was not the kind of person who liked to join in on the fun, but with the four hundred thousand strong army, Tang Yin was also a little worried. Since Shao Fang had taken the initiative to invite them, he accepted the invitation and promised to follow the big group to the Sky Water County at the border of Mo Yu.

Not long after Shao Fang left the Feng Country, the imperial edict of the Heavenly Child bestowing marriage was transmitted to the Yu Country.

This decree could be said to have caused an uproar in the entire Yu Country realm. Many ministers, shocked, and at the same time, angrily cursed in their hearts that the Son of Heaven was a scoundrel. How could two dukes get married, wasn't this clear enough for Mo Country to swallow the Yu Country?

King Yu Ling Shuang was also surprised by the Heavenly Emperor's bestowal, but he still maintained his calm expression. Looking at the furious Minister of Civil And Military Affairs, she suddenly had the urge to laugh.

If the ministers hadn't strongly opposed her marriage to General Yang Wu, how could the Son of Heaven now issue such an unreasonable decree?

General Yang Wu's name was Xu Wenfeng, and his birth was low, and he was started by ordinary soldiers. Because of his outstanding ability, he was strong and experienced, and was gradually being highly valued, promoted step by step, and quickly sat on the position of captain of the Royal Guard. It was also because of this that he started to interact more with Ling Shuang.

The two of them were around the same age, and Xu Wenfeng was handsome and mighty. He was quickly recognized by Ling Shuang and won over Ling Shuang's love and admiration, and not long after, Ling Shuang personally bestowed him the title of General Yang Wu, as the person in charge of the palace guards.

But no matter how talented and capable Xu Wenfeng was, he was not a traditional aristocrat. At that time, the ministers would never be able to accept the King marrying a martial general who came from a commoner's background.

When Ling Shuang raised this matter in the imperial court, the entire imperial court was opposed to it, and many of the ministers even threatened to kill them in the imperial court. After all, Ling Shuang was a woman, and she lacked the courage of a man.

As a result, after waiting for so many years, the officials still strongly disagreed with him. Instead, they had waited for the Son of Heaven to bestow the marriage decree on them.

With such a cause and effect, Ling Shuang finally felt the pleasure of revenge. Seeing all the subjects scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, as if a great catastrophe was about to befall them, her lips unconsciously twitched a few times.

Fortunately, Xu Wenfeng was only a General Yang Wu, and was only at the fifth stage. He did not have the qualifications to go to the imperial court and participate in the discussion, if not the scene would be even more lively.

In fact, Ling Shuang was very clear that the Son of Heaven would not issue such a decree for no reason. Someone must be controlling the Son of Heaven, and right now, the only person who could force the Son of Heaven was the Feng King Tang Yin.

She took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and jokingly asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the bestowal of the Son of Heaven? This king and King Mo can be considered as the right family, right? "

"Your Majesty, this marriage absolutely must not happen!" The of the Yu Country said with a trembling voice, "Since ancient times, what precedent has there been for two monarchs to be betrothed to each other? The reason the Son of Heaven gave us our marriage, was to let the Mo Country swallow my Yu Country, it was to kill me! "

"The Son of Heaven has long since become a puppet in his hands. Who would listen to his orders?" The Yu Country Great General Shang Chong shouted angrily: "Such a playful and unreasonable decree, it's fine if we don't respect it!"

Everyone knew that the Son of Heaven was a puppet, but no one dared to say it out loud. Now that they heard what Shang Chong had to say, everyone's faces also changed.
