Chapter 124

Fan Min lived in Tang Yin's house forever. Normally, Tang Yin would not come to Fan Min, nor would the latter come to him, so the two of them got along well.

A few days later, Lotte and Aijia, who secretly lurked in the city-state of Besa to inquire about the Beast King Town, returned.

Tang Yin was overjoyed to learn that they were back and immediately summoned them.

After the meeting, before Lotte and Ai Jia could even greet each other, Tang Yin couldn't wait to ask, "Have you fully investigated the situation in Beast King Town?"

Letian and Ai Jia were summoned by Tang Yin as soon as they returned to Hengcheng. They didn't even have time to change their clothes. They were dusty and covered with dirt. The two of them nodded in unison and said, "Sir, we have found out everything!"

"Oh? What's the specific situation?"

Ai Jia took out a sheepskin map from her arms, handed it to Tang Yin, and said seriously: "Sir, this is the map of Beast King Town."

Tang Yin hurriedly took it and examined it carefully. The map was obviously drawn by Ai Jia temporarily. Although the painting was rough and simple, it was still understandable.

Beast King Town is indeed not far from the border of Feng Kingdom, only more than a hundred miles away. If you ride a fast horse, you can get there in just half a day. Because it is an important town that stores supplies for the Besa Army, Beast King Town is quite large. There are simple city walls and defense facilities on the periphery, but there are relatively few defenders inside. This may be due to the disastrous defeat of the Besa Army in the battle at the border town. The Beast King guards The number of troops has also been affected, and there are currently only more than 3,000 people. The most important thing is that the Feng Army has never entered the territory of Besa, so the vigilance of Beast King Town is very weak, and the discipline of the troops inside is also very loose.

While Tang Yin was looking at the map, Letian and Ai Jia gave him detailed explanations.

Although he didn't speak, he remembered the situation described by the two people one by one in his mind, and his brain was also running rapidly.

After Letian and Ai Jia came to an end, Tang Yin asked: "Are there any barbarian strongholds near Beast King Town?" This question is very critical. There are only more than 3,000 defenders in Beast King Town, which is easy to deal with. But if there are still more barbarian strongholds nearby, If there is a stronghold of barbarian soldiers and they can rush over for reinforcements as soon as possible, then things will be troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yin would suddenly ask questions about things outside Beast King Town. Ai Jia was not prepared. She frowned and said, "This... my subordinates haven't checked it yet..."

Before he finished speaking, Letian took a step forward and said: "There is a town fifty miles away in the northwest of Beast King Town. The specific situation is unknown, but the town is very large, and I think there should be a lot of barbarians in it. "

Ai Jia looked at Lotte in surprise. She really didn't expect that Lotte would send his men fifty miles away? She whispered dissatisfiedly: "So you knew that adults would ask this, why didn't you remind me?"

Letian smiled bitterly, he was not a roundworm in Tang Yin's belly, how could he know that Tang Yin would ask this question. He said: "Although we now have a map of the city-state of Bessa, it is too general, and it has not been checked and I don't know if it is wrong. So I plan to draw a map myself and use this time to sneak into Bessa." When the city-state got the opportunity, I dispatched my subordinates to explore the terrain, and did not deliberately check whether there were any barbarian fortresses around Beast King Town."

Ai Jia was not convinced and wanted to talk again. Tang Yin waved his hand with a smile, interrupted her next words, and said to Letian: "Letian did a good job this time and was very careful. He deserves to be rewarded!" As he spoke, he said to Lotte again. Ai Jia, who looked unhappy, said: "I hope you can do as well as General He Le next time."

The implication is that Ai Jia did not do as well as Lotte this time.

After hearing what Tang Yin said, Ai Jia couldn't say anything more even if she was dissatisfied. Moreover, the facts were before her eyes. Lotte's investigation this time was indeed better than hers. She glanced at Letian secretly, then lowered her head and remained silent, but she had made up her mind that next time, she would definitely compare with Letian.

In terms of ability, Ai Jia is indeed not as good as Lotte, but the former has the spirit of never admitting defeat and works very hard, which Tang Yin appreciates very much. It is precisely because of this that he gave Ai Jia this intelligence The organization has been maintained and has not been abolished to save money.

Tang Yin looked at the map of Beast King Town, pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to the attendants below: "Summon the generals immediately and come to my place to discuss military affairs!"

"Yes!" The attendant stepped in and agreed, and ran out quickly.

Not long after, Qiu Zhen, the commanders of each corps, Cheng Jin, Xiao Muqing and others arrived one after another.

Now there are more and more capable people under Tang Yin's command, and when meetings are held, the hall is also overcrowded.

Tang Yin ordered his servants to remove all the chairs in the hall, and then placed two tables in the center, with everyone standing around, including himself. In Tang Yin's view, the military affairs meeting is not a tea party. There is no need to sit on a chair and chat slowly. If you want to discuss, you should get to the point, be simple and clear.

He placed the map drawn by Ai Jia in the center of the table, looked around at everyone, and said: "General Le and General Ai have just returned from the Barbarian Kingdom. A hundred miles away from the border town, there is the Beast King Town, the military center of the Barbarian State. Every time the Barbarian State When soldiers invade our territory, they always go through this place to make supplies first. What do you think?"

Guyue clenched his fists and said seriously: "Sir, since this town is so important to the barbarian nation, we should eradicate it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

"General Gu, do you want our Pingyuan Army to invade the Barbarian territory and attack Beast King Town?" Zhang Zhou asked.

"That's right."

"Inappropriate!" Zhang Zhou shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's too risky to do this. Our Feng Army has never invaded the barbarian state. This time we have to fight hundreds of miles deep into the barbarian state's territory. It's too dangerous. If you don't do it well, you will have to do it." The entire army was wiped out." Zhang Zhou was an old man in the Pingyuan Army and had a relatively conservative mindset. In his view, invading a barbarian country to fight was tantamount to seeking death.

Gu Yue is a typical radical. He said seriously: "The last time we defeated the barbarians in the border town, your Excellency led us to chase the enemy for dozens of miles without incident. It can be seen that the barbarians are nothing more than this. Our army is in the territory of the barbarian state. You can come and go as you please, so why does General Zhang gain the enemy's prowess but destroy our own prestige?"

"That's different!"

"Nothing different."

The two of them kept arguing, and Tang Yin was given a headache by the quarrel between them. He supported Guyue, and the sneak attack on Beast King Town was also his long-planned plan, but he also understood that at present, Zhang Pingyuan's army was like Zhang There are many people like Zhou who hold old ideas. If he cannot be persuaded, it will probably cause disagreements within the army.

He winked at Le Angel beside him.

The latter understood and said: "Beast King Town is only more than a hundred miles away from our country, which is not too far. Even infantry can reach it in less than two days, and there are no barbarian checkpoints or barbarian fortresses on the road. , the most important thing is that we have never actively attacked the barbarian territory, so the barbarian soldiers are defenseless. In addition, there are not many defenders in Beast King Town, about 3,000 people. If our army can implement the tactics of surprise attack, it will definitely be You can catch the barbarian soldiers by surprise and annihilate all the defenders of the Beast King City!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhou grinned and said, "But what should we do if our army is detected by the enemy when it marches towards Beast King Town? Even if it is not detected, even if it succeeds in sneak attack on Beast King Town and annihilates all the barbarians there, but How should we come back? Two days are enough for the barbarians to gather a large number of troops to pursue and intercept our army. Once we fall into the enemy's siege, our soldiers will never return..."

"This situation will not happen!" Before Zhang Zhou could finish his boastful words, Tang Yin interrupted: "We will use cavalry riding Mo's war horses to sneak attack the Beast King Town. We will go back and forth in less than a day. !”

"Ah?" Zhang Zhou opened his eyes wide in surprise, Mo's war horse? How can we have Mo's war horses in our hands?

Tang Yin smiled slightly and said: "I have ordered 4,000 war horses from the horse dealers of Mo Country. Within three days, these war horses can be transported to Hengcheng. At that time, our army will send 4,000 cavalry to attack Beast King Town. , not to mention that they won’t be discovered by the barbarian spies. Even if they are discovered, their speed of reporting the news will not be as fast as our horses, General Zhang, what do you think?"

"This..." Zhang Zhou rubbed his chin and murmured: "If there are Mo's war horses, this battle is feasible. However, if we only use four thousand cavalry to attack more than three thousand barbarians, even if we win, we will win. The army’s losses are not small!”

"That's right!" Tang Yin nodded and followed his words: "So, I want to go to this battle in person."

flutter! Zhang Zhou almost vomited blood when he heard this. In the past, the county guard could not hide from the barbarian soldiers, but Tang Yin, the county guard, was just the opposite. He preferred to go to places where there were many barbarians. The more dangerous it was, the more he had to do it personally.

"Sir!" Zhang Zhou said solemnly: "With Mo's war horses available, our army can consider a sneak attack on the Beast King Town of the Barbarian Kingdom, but you have to go there in person. This... this is too dangerous, and there is no need for you to go in person." !”

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "With me here, the soldiers below will not be afraid of the barbarians and can fight bravely. Only in this way can our losses be minimized. Mo's war horses were hard-earned, and we, Feng Jun, The lives of soldiers are even more precious. If any general is confident that his ability is better than mine, I can give way to him this time!"

After Zhang Zhou heard this, he immediately shut up and stopped talking. Although Tang Yin's words were touching, they were also meant to pressure others. He was the county magistrate, and as a subordinate, who would have the courage to say in public that he was better than him?

After only a brief pause of three seconds, while everyone was silent, Tang Yin continued: "Since no one has any objection, then the matter has been decided. I will lead three thousand cavalry to attack Beast King Town. In addition, Xiao Shenjun will lead a group of Thousands of cavalrymen, head to ten miles northwest of Beast King Town and set up an ambush here. Once the barbarians flee towards you, you must not show mercy and kill them without mercy!"

Xiao Muqing didn't understand why Tang Yin wanted to set up an ambush in the northwest of Beast King Town. He was so smart and experienced. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there a barbarian fortress in the northwest of Beast King Town?"

Tang Yin smiled and secretly said something clever. He nodded and said, "There is no fortress, but there are towns with barbarian soldiers!"

Is there a barbarian town near Beast King Town? When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
