Previously, the Feilong Army was in charge of receiving and controlling the Pingyuan Army, and had fought in a large-scale border assault battle before, thus the losses were not small. Adding the rectification of the towns and cities that were occupied by the Feng Army, the Feilong Army would always stay at the back, taking care of one side while the other took care of the logistics. With the strength of his Directly Subordinate Army, wanting to take over all of the Sishui County would definitely not be an easy task. When the war enters a stalemate, Tang Yin would definitely think of transferring his Feilong Army over to participate in the battle. This was exactly what Qiu Zhen was afraid of.

With Feilong Army at the back, not only would they be able to stabilize the situation of the counties they occupied, they would also be able to serve as a powerful backup for the frontline legion. If the frontline legion was unluckily defeated, they could at least rely on reinforcements, and there would still be a way out.

In a battle between nations, one could not have even the slightest bit of fluke. If one was not careful in one move, it would all be lost.

Tang Yin had never thought so much, or perhaps he had never considered that he would lose. Hearing Qiu Zhen say that it was not possible to use Feilong Army, he felt rather baffled. He had his tough Wind Man Corps, why did he need to make use of the Ning people? He laughed leisurely and said: "Qiu Zhen, you're thinking too much. Fighting Sishui is merely a county worth of land, Directly Subordinate Army is enough."

Qiu Zhen did not dare to think of this battle that was as simple as Tang Yin thought, and replied: "Great King, you only need to agree to this."

Seeing his serious expression, Tang Yin understood. When Qiu Zhen revealed that expression, if she did not agree, she would definitely pester him. He smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Alright, I promise you, fight Sishui, and never arrange Feilong Army."

When Qiu Zhen heard this, he secretly let out a breath of relief. Then, he said, "Also, the King needs to inform General Zuo Shuang to gather the submitted Mo Army from all over the place as soon as possible so that he can respond to urgent needs."

Tang Yin was lazy to discuss these trivial matters again, he waved his hand and said: "You can arrange all of these."

"Yes!" "Great King!" Qiu Zhen replied seriously, he cupped his hands and received the order, he did not say anymore.

Although Ling Shuang's arrival shocked the people from the Feng Army side, no matter what, the differences within the Feng Army were temporarily resolved. The various opinions were all unified into a consensus, and that was to fight the people from the Sishui first.

Finally, he couldn't hear any objections. Tang Yin felt much more relaxed, and began to prepare to go south to fight.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you will be able to survive in a hundred battles. Tang Yin had a deep understanding of this point, in any battle that he personally commanded, the Feng Army side would place the greatest importance on intelligence.

Before the army started to move, Tang Yin called Le Tian and Ai Jia over first. He had the two of them send out all the scouts they could gather, in order to thoroughly investigate the situation within the Sishui as soon as possible, including the details of the various cities and towns, as well as the distribution of the forces within the Mo Army.

With Tang Yin's order, the spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Web were sent out. In the next few days, all sorts of intelligence reports were sent back to Tang Yin.

There were a total of ten cities and twenty-three villages. The number of defending troops in each city varied, with at most being tens of thousands, or at least thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and with the total number of cities added up, there were about a hundred thousand people.

In Tang Yin's eyes, these troops were nothing to fear. After all, they were still local troops, and their fighting strength was limited. No matter how much strength they had, once they entered the large-scale battlefield, they would only be a mob. What he truly cared about was the Mo Country that was stationed within the Sishui County.

Sishui County was the main camp where Mo Army had invaded. The five hundred thousand Mo Army that were sent out for the expedition had all been stored in the Sishui. There were four large camps that occupied more than five kilometers, and a large number of Mo Country s were guarding them. Of course, most of the Mo Country s that did not enter the battlefield were old, weak, and handicapped, but their strength was not small.

Amongst the Four Great Barracks of Mo Army, two of them were for receiving wounded soldiers, and the tens of thousands of injured soldiers that were produced in the Mo Yu War were respectively placed in these two Barracks. The other two camps were for new recruits, one being used to stock up resources, and the other being used to train and transport new recruits to the Yu Country, so as to fill in the gaps created by the Mo Army during the war.

If a war were to erupt within the Sishui, wounded and new recruits could all enter the battlefield. This would cause the number of people in the Mo Army to instantly increase.

Before they started fighting Sishui, Tang Yin didn't think that Sishui were difficult to fight either. Only now, after looking at the detailed information sent back through Sky Eye and Earth Web, did he finally understand that Mo Army actually had so many soldiers, and might even be twice as many than Directly Subordinate Army by leaps and bounds.

It seemed that this battle was more difficult than he had imagined. No wonder Qiu Zhen had predicted that he would activate Feilong Army a few days ago, he had underestimated his opponent. Tang Yin was starting to regret his decision. He should not have agreed to Qiu Zhen's request so readily, but Tang Yin did not think that he would not be able to do it just by relying on Directly Subordinate Army alone.

After clarifying the distribution and strength of the Sishui, Tang Yin no longer delayed and sent orders to the entire army. In two days, the army would head south, enter the Sishui County, and guard the northern part of the Sishui city.

Jinan was the second largest city of the Sishui, and also the northern gate of the Sishui. If one wanted to enter the Sishui, they first had to put down their Jinan, otherwise, supplies would be a big problem.

According to the information sent by Sky Eye and Earth Web, the Jinan had a force of about twenty thousand, but the Mo Army's four great military camps were located close to the Jinan. If Feng Army were to attack the Jinan, it would be difficult to protect the Mo Country and not reinforce it.

Before the great army started to move, Tang Yin specially gathered all the generals to discuss how to fight in the Jinan.

The meeting had not started, and Ling Shuang and Xu Wenfeng had both come uninvited. The two of them were just listening in by the side. They wanted to see how Tang Yin would arrange the seats, so when they arrived, they would automatically sit at the very end of the hall.

Xu Wenfeng was fine sitting at the end, but Ling Shuang also didn't seem like a good choice. Under everyone's looks, Tang Yin sighed and moved his body to the side, then turned to Ling Shuang and smiled: "Sister Wang, this way please!"

Ling Shuang did not reject Tang Yin's' good intentions'. Smiling and nodding, she stood up, walked to Tang Yin's side and sat down. Seeing the two of them sitting side by side, Xu Wenfeng's face turned ugly, lowering her head, she slowly clenched her fists.

In this period of time, Tang Yin had not forgotten to pay attention to Ling Shuang's movements on her side. Within the Feng Army, she was unfamiliar with this place, so she should be very uncomfortable.

She frequently came into contact with two people. One was Qiu Zhen, and the other was Guo Jue. Tang Yin understood what Ling Shuang was thinking. Now that she had a request from the Feng Country, not only would she need to pull him, the Sovereign of Feng Country, but she would also need to settle the relationship between her and the great officials of the Feng Country, so that she could speak up for her in front of him. He trusted Qiu Zhen too much. No matter what methods Ling Shuang used, even if it was a beauty's trick, it would not cause Qiu Zhen to do anything to let him and the Feng Country down.

Tang Yin did not say anything, nor did he show any emotions. However, he was clear in his heart about who was trustworthy and who was not trustworthy by his side.2

Waiting until all the ministers and generals were present, Tang Yin cleared his throat and spoke first: "We should be clear about this by now. Our next target is Sishui.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "The battle of Jinan is the first battle of our forces entering the Sishui. As the proverb goes, first victory, victory in battle! In this battle, our army will not only win, but we will also win handsomely, minimizing our losses. Everyone, please tell us what tactics you need for this battle. "

Zhang Cheng took the lead and cupped his hands together: "Great King, it is not difficult to fight Jinan, it is difficult to do so in the Mo Army camp near the Jinan, right now we do not know much about the situation with regards to Mo Camp, we only know that it is a camp for training new recruits, but as for how many Mo Country guards there are, how many new recruits there are, and how many of them have already developed fighting strength, we do not know."

Kong Yan continued, "That's right! Once our forces attack Jinan, Mo Camp will definitely not sit by and do nothing. If we do not know the specific strength of the Mo Army in the camp, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our troops' deployment. "

That was a problem! Everyone frowned and remained silent.

Just then, Cai Gui laughed, looked at Zhang Cheng and the two generals, and said: "Generals, there's no need to worry, as long as our troop is properly arranged, it's fine even if we don't know the strength of the Mo Camp."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng and Kong Yan raised their eyebrows at the same time. The others also looked at Cai Gui in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

Cai Gui said: "Based on my estimation, the number of soldiers that can be used for battle should not be more than the number of defending forces in the Jinan."

Without waiting for others to ask, Cai Gui continued to explain, "It is very easy to understand. If there really were a large amount of troops within the Mo Camp, then when our army attacked the Anqiu, the Mo Army would have already sent out reinforcements. The reason the Mo Army has yet to head north to assist means that they do not have the confidence to achieve victory. Our army only has less than a hundred thousand people, and we are fighting in a foreign land, so under such a disadvantageous situation, even the Mo Army of our people do not dare to head north to battle. This means that at the very most, they can only protect themselves or do not even have the strength to protect themselves.

Everyone listened and nodded their heads, they secretly gave Cai Gui a big thumbs up, Cai Gui was clever, fast thinking, it was logical and logical.

Tang Yin laughed, and clapped his hands: "Continue speaking, how can our army defeat the enemy?"

Cai Gui said: "Great King, our forces can split into two sides and attack Jinan along the way. Along the way, we can set up an ambush between Jinan and the area around them.
