"Since we no longer have the power to advance south, then we should begin to consolidate the five counties that we currently occupy." Tang Yin lowered his head, and said while looking at the map.

Now, Feng Army occupied the Mo Country, Peng Feng, Western Mountain, Anqiu, and the five countries in the center. Sanshui Army and Heavenly Eagle Army were accumulated in the center, and Directly Subordinate Army which were directly ordered by Tang Yin were currently resting in the midst of the Suyue.

"Great King Ming, see you!" Zuo Shuang said in a serious tone, "This general also has that intention."

Tang Yin nodded and asked: "Then how do we prepare the defenses?" After all, they couldn't possibly keep their four Main Regiment s at the Mo Country for a long period of time, could they?

Qiu Zhen immediately followed: "From your point of view, Your Majesty should rely on the land of five countries to quickly erect Shao Jun as the new King Mo, establishing a new government and Mo Army, and using a single person to fight against a group of people."

Hm! That was one way, and it was their original plan. Tang Yin held his chin, seemed to be deep in thought, and did not immediately answer. After a moment of consideration, he looked around at the others and asked, "What do you guys think?"

"This humble subject agrees." Guo Jue was the first to stand out and express his stance. He was a normal person, yet right now, he had joined the Feng Country. In his heart, he would more or less worry about the opinions of the people around him, and he did not want others to scold him as a rat-like person who wanted to make a country proud. The New Mo Country that was established, led by Shao Jun, may have split up to a great degree, but it was at least better than having these five countries directly fall into his territory.

Guo Jue expressed his support, Qi Heng rolled his eyes, then walked out as well, and said loudly: "This general agrees too!"

Very quickly, everyone expressed that there was no difference in meaning. Tang Yin laughed and said: "Since all of you are not opposed to it, then, this matter is decided." In terms of the current situation, establishing New Mo Country was even more advantageous than directly annexing these five counties.

The Son of Heaven had long bestowed Shao Jun with the title of the new King Mo. It was only right and proper for him to be the king in the Mo Country, and in name, it was also true and proper. It was beneficial for everyone to follow his wishes and stabilize the situation in the five counties.

Secondly, and also the most important point, Feng Country could give the heavy responsibility of defending five counties to the newly established imperial government, allowing the new imperial government to form an army and defend their own territory. This way, the armies of Feng Army could take the opportunity to return back to their own countries. Two birds with one stone.

Tang Yin lowered his head and continued looking at the map, and asked: "If we establish the New Mo Country, where do we set the capital at?"

This was a serious matter, so no one dared to speak carelessly. Qiu Zhen cupped his hands and said: "This humble subject feels that the center county's Cangping City is the most suitable."

"Cangping?" Tang Yin searched the map for a while before finally seeing the location of the Cangping. This place was located in the southernmost area of the Central County, right next to the Zeping County which was hoarded by a large number of people. It could be said that as long as one left the Cangping, they would be able to enter the borders of the Zeping County less than fifty kilometers south.

After thinking for a while, Tang Yin raised his head and asked: "Qiu Zhen, isn't it too dangerous to lock down the capital so close to the Mo Country?

Qiu Zhen slightly smiled, and said: "It's precisely because the Cangping is so close to the Mo Country that this humble subject is proposing to establish the capital here. "Firstly, by establishing a capital in the Cangping, one can display the determination of wanting to unify Mo Country from the south. Secondly, the location of the capital is precisely the place where all the troops are defending; the capital city is set at the border and it is effective in preventing the invasion from the north of the Mo Army.

Setting the capital at the most dangerous point of the border wasn't without precedent. The effect was also very good. Indeed, it would be able to prevent the enemy from invading.

When Qiu Zhen finished speaking, everyone nodded their heads, showing that he made sense. However, Guo Jue frowned and said worriedly: "It is set in terms of Cangping, so it is undoubtedly a huge provocation to Mo Country, I am afraid there will be endless battles in the future, which will not be beneficial to the stability of the city!"

Qiu Zhen was amused, and said: "Master Guo, you are overthinking it. As long as we make the enemy afraid and subdue them, we naturally do not dare to go north to offend them. "

Moreover, establishing New Mo Country was a stopgap measure. Feng Country did not require one to develop their New Mo Country to a prosperous and strong state, as long as it and Mo Country mutually consumed one another and gradually weakened the Mo Country's national power. Feng Country only needed to reap the benefits. From Feng Country's perspective, they were not afraid of Mo Country coming for them, only afraid that Mo Country would not come for them.

Of course, Qiu Zhen would not say the following words, at least not in front of Guo Jue and the others.

At this time, Tang Yin understood Qiu Zhen's true intentions regarding the Cangping. He smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right, as long as we strike fear into the enemy, it will naturally be peaceful. As for the matter of Cangping, let's do it according to Prime Minister Qiu's orders! "

Guo Jue did not speak anymore, and retreated back to his original position with his head lowered.

After discussing with everyone, Tang Yin finalized all the matters regarding the establishment of the New Mo Country one by one. Actually, it wasn't really a discussion, most of the time it was Qiu Zhen's suggestion. Tang Yin agreed, and the others stared blankly, unable to say a word.

According to Qiu Zhen's suggestion, Tang Yin would annul his position as the County Head and promote him to become a Great General. All the county soldiers of the Xishan County would be allocated to the Central Army. This move could be said to be killing without any bloodshed.

On the surface, it looked like he had raised Shao Yu to a few levels consecutively, then with a leap, he became a Great General. His official status was just one level higher than County Head, it was unknown how many levels higher, but in reality, it had stripped him of his authority.

In the Feng Country, the general does not have the authority to command the army, only the authority to manage, the Central Army is in reality completely controlled by Tang Yin.

The left and right prime ministers of New Mo Country were also all borne by the Feng Ren. Tang Yin set the Right Prime Minister s as the Lu She whom he had always deeply respected and trusted, and the left prime minister set the s as Fan Shan, who was also Fan Min's distant relative. Lu She and Fan Shan were both his trusted aides, and their abilities were outstanding as well. With the two of them in charge of the military and political affairs of the New Mo Country, Tang Yin could be at ease.

In addition, other than the officials that the imperial court must have, Tang Yin had also created a new position, which was imitated to the system of Feng Country. It was called the overall Inspector of the Mo Country, and this position was shared by Qiu Zhen.

With these decisions made by the personnel, the structure of the imperial court was basically shaped. In this imperial court, the majority of the officials were from the Mo Clan, but the actual power from the upper echelons all fell into the hands of the Feng Clan.

Other than controlling the New Mo Country government, Tang Yin did not relax at all. There were always posts for County Head s, Vice County Head s, County Chiefs, and Vice County Chiefs that were overseen by Feng Zhenren, and as for the County Commandant s and County Commanders that were actually in control of the local army, they were definitely overseen by Feng Zhenren.2

From the structure of the officials in the New Mo Country, it could be seen that this so-called New Mo Country was actually a puppet regime. From the government to the places, it was all controlled by the Feng people.

A month later, Shao Jun officially ascended the throne in Cangping, the country's name was still Mo, it was considered orthodox for outsiders, they claimed that Shao Fang was a traitor and a traitor, and issued a notice to the world, hoping that the Mo people would come north to surrender, and not to assist the evil and revered Shao Fang. Furthermore, for the negotiations between the various countries with Mo Country, the envoy should send out their Cangping, and not head towards Zhenjiang.

When Shao Jun called himself king, it made the roots of Shao Fang's teeth itch. Now that he was in the Cangping capital, how could Shao Fang not be angry. He ordered the Central Army stationed there to attack from the north, to attack the Cangping at all costs.

The commander in chief of the garrison of the Mo Nation's Yu Zeping was Xiao Jinpeng, a well-known general in the country. Shao Jun had already settled down the capital city in a flat area with a large number of Wind Army and New Mo Army inside. With a large number of army, in just a few days, Shao Ping had built a circle of surrounding earth wall outside of the city, on this basis, it had been built even higher. Now, with the level of the flat area, how could it be easy to take over?

However, it was impossible to disobey orders from the king. Shao Fang's orders had already reached Xiao Jin Peng's hands, he had to do it even if he had to.

Xiao Jin Peng led the two hundred thousand men to the north of Zeping County and attacked the Cangping for the first time.

In this battle, because the Central Army s had yet to fully form the fighting capabilities, the mission to fight the enemy fell onto the Pingyuan Army s and Huwei Army s.

This battle did not last long. The two sides had only fought for a short while, before Mo Army took the initiative to retreat. This time, Mo Army met Pingyuan Army.

With a Mo Army of two hundred thousand, against a Pingyuan Army of less than one hundred thousand, which was in the midst of resting, it actually did not have any advantage on the battlefield. The two sides were evenly matched, and with this single battle, Xiao Jin Peng's confidence was gone.

They were just a legion, yet they took the initiative to attack outside the city. Their own side could not even defeat them, and behind them there was even Huwei Army. A large number of New Mo Country s had not joined the battle yet, so how could they continue fighting this battle? Rather than bringing shame upon himself, he might as well take the initiative to withdraw his troops. At the very least, losing would not be too shameful.

The news of the Mo Army's retreat reached, causing him to be angered, and he immediately removed Xiao Jin Peng from his position, replaced by Vice Marshal Yan Bin, and continued to attack the Cangping.

With Yan Bin as the leader, Mo Country attacked the Cangping a second time.

This time, the Feng Army did not directly participate in the battle, and instead used the New Mo Country of the New Mo Country to meet the enemy.

Both sides had fought face to face outside of Cangping. Yan Bin had defeated his new Mo Army, killing them and causing them to return in defeat. But after the battle, the losses sustained by Yan Bin's army were not small, and facing the Feng Army that was stationed at the city, he no longer had the desire or strength to attack, and could only choose to retreat.

Mo Army's second attack also ended with her taking the initiative to retreat.

After Shao Fang who was in Zhenjiang finished reading the battle report, he tore apart the pieces and ordered them to remove him from his post.

At this time, the ministers of the Mo Country Palace stood out one after another to stop them. After two battles, their side's army in Zeping had suffered heavy casualties, so even if the new commander led their troops to attack again, it would still be ineffective. What was most important right now was to find an opportunity to counterattack.

Under the persuasion of the many ministers, Shao Fang finally retracted his order and planned to temporarily keep Yan Bin. Great General took the opportunity to suggest to Shao Fang that they reactivate Qing Yu and let him be the commander in chief of Zeping.
