Chapter 270
Tang Yin was dragged off the dance floor by Xiao Na. Although he couldn't dance, he was flexible because he had practiced martial arts since childhood, and he was not as clumsy as those who were dancing for the first time. With Xiao Na's guidance, he quickly mastered the skills.
Seeing his movements becoming more and more skillful, Xiao Na couldn't help but praise: "You learn really fast!"
Tang Yin smiled indifferently and suddenly asked: "What do you think of Prince Pavel?"
I didn't expect Tang Yin to suddenly ask about Pavel. Xiao Na was startled and looked at Tang Yin inexplicably, saying: "He is not bad, very easy-going, what's wrong?"
Tang Yin shrugged casually and smiled: "Nothing, I just asked casually." It is not difficult to judge Xiao Na's feeling about Pavel through her blank expression, which makes Tang Yin somewhat relieved.
Xiao Na didn't believe that Tang Yin would ask questions casually for no reason, and he was not that kind of person. She asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about Pavel?"
Tang Yin smiled helplessly and said, "His Majesty Arden just talked to me and said that he would ask your father to marry you to Prince Pavel?"
Xiao Na's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in surprise, "How is that possible? I have never heard my father mention this, and I will not marry Pavel. I have no feelings for him at all!"
See it. Tang Yin looked at Xiao Na with a smile and did not say anything else.
Xiao Na glanced at Tang Yin quietly, rolled her eyes, and said with embarrassment, "If my father really accepted Du Ji's proposal, I would marry Pavel, then I can't do anything..."
Tang Yin's originally relaxed brows frowned again.
Xiao Na looked him in the eyes and asked, "Will you come to help me at that time?"
Tang Yin was stunned, silent for a moment, met Xiao Na's eyes, and said faintly, "If you want me to help you, I will."
Xiao Na's heart warmed, and she subconsciously held Tang Yin's hand tighter.
After the banquet, Tang Yin, Xiao Na and others were settled in the guesthouse in Duji City.
Originally, Alden wanted to keep Tang Yin in Duji City for a few more days, but the latter had no time to stay here, and there were many people in Duji City, and it would be troublesome if Ning people recognized his identity. He politely rejected Alden's kindness. Early the next morning, he took Xiao Na and others to the palace to bid farewell to Alden. Alden was a very smart person, and he also understood that it was not realistic to force Tang Yin to stay in Duji, and there were many inconveniences. He no longer forced it and personally sent Tang Yin and Xiao Na out of the palace.
Alden wanted to send Duji's light cavalry to escort Tang Yin and Xiao Na all the way back to the country, but was rejected by Tang Yin again. In his opinion, the smaller the target, the better. If a large army was mobilized, it would be easier to attract the attention of others.
Before saying goodbye to Alden, Tang Yin pulled Shangguan Yuanrang beside him and said, "Your Majesty, when I return to the country, I will immediately send troops to Duji and go to Tongmen. In addition, I, the guard, will also be in the army. If Your Majesty has anything to say, you can go directly to him. His name is Shangguan Yuanrang!"
"Okay!" Alden looked at Shangguan Yuanrang deeply, nodded, and said, "General Tang, please rest assured. I will also try my best to block the news and keep your march in Duji more secret!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Haha! This cooperation is just the beginning. In the future, we will have a lot of places to help each other. General Tang, don't be polite!" Alden said with a smile.
Tang Yin smiled and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is right. I'll take my leave!"
"General Tang, have a good trip!"
This face-to-face meeting left a deep and excellent impression on each other for both Tang Yin and Alden.
In Tang Yin's opinion, Arden can be regarded as a very capable and ambitious monarch, even better than King Knis of Besa. Of course, Arden is old and in poor health, otherwise Tang Yin will definitely regard him as a hidden threat.
In Arden's eyes, Tang Yin is not simple either. He is young and mature, quite scheming and scheming, and his ability is even more extraordinary. Just the fact that he started from scratch and was able to have hundreds of thousands of troops in just one or two years is not something that ordinary people can compare to. In addition, Arden can see that Tang Yin's ambition is also very big, which is exactly what he is most worried about. However, for now, annexing Tia is Du Ji's primary goal. As for the policy towards Tang Yin, he can only wait and see in the future.
In fact, Tang Yin and Arden both admire and secretly fear each other.
After this meeting, Tang Yin and Alden both achieved their goals. Tang Yin successfully borrowed the road from Du Ji, and Du Ji also successfully won over Tang Yin and got his promise to help Du Ji contain Ningguo. Both sides got what they needed, and everyone was happy.
After leaving Du Ji City, Tang Yin and his party set out on the long journey back to Fengguo. There were no more accidents on the way back. They passed through the desert smoothly and entered the Besa territory, and then turned to Besa and entered the Fengguo territory.
Knowing that Du Ji agreed to lend the road to them, the counselors and generals who were waiting in Huaiyang were all very excited. Everyone understood that it was time for them to continue to attack southward.
After Tang Yin returned to Huaiyang, he was ready to immediately send Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuanrang to lead 100,000 three-navy troops to Du Ji to attack Tongmen, but they were stopped by counselors such as Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan.
I don’t understand what they mean, especially Zong Yuan. The idea was clearly his, but it’s good now that he is about to send troops and he stands up to block it, which is confusing. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at Zong Yuan and asked: "Master Zong, you asked me to borrow a road from Du Ji. I went and now I have borrowed the road. Why are you stopping me from sending troops?"
Zong Yuan can be regarded as the best one among Tang Yin's counselors who is good at penetrating people's hearts. Although he was questioned by Tang Yin by name, he did not panic. He smiled slightly and said, "If you want to send troops, of course there is no problem. However, I wonder if you have ever thought about it, so that we can place spies in Yancheng and Tongmen. Then Zhong Tian Won't the Hening Army place an informant on our side? The mobilization of a hundred thousand troops is so huge that it cannot be hidden. Once the enemy's informant notices it, it will make it vigilant, and our army will make a sneak attack. Tongmen’s strategy may not be successful!”
oh! This was something Tang Yin didn't expect. If you think about Zong Yuan's words carefully, it's not unreasonable! He turned to look at Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe, both of whom were nodding their heads, indicating that Zong Yuan's concerns were correct.
Tang Yin's expression softened and he asked, "What does Master Yizong mean..."
"All our troops are heading north, and news has been released to the outside world that our troops will return to Tianyuan County to reorganize and recuperate in preparation for next year's march south. This has three benefits. First, it can confuse the opponent and make them Ning Guo never expected that our army would suddenly attack Tongmen; secondly, the whole army could go north to cover the sneak attacks of General Liang and General Yuan Rang; thirdly, it would make Lehu County controlled by Zhong Tian take it lightly and wait for our sudden attack. When the horse came back with a shot, Lehu County was caught off guard," Zong Yuan said seriously.
"Yeah!" Listening to his strategy and analysis, Tang Yin couldn't help but admire secretly, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay! This is a great plan!" As he spoke, he asked Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe: "Master Qiu, Master Zhang, what do you two mean?"
"Master Zong's foresight is admirable!" Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe said in unison as they raised their hands.
After hearing what Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe said, Tang Yin no longer hesitated and decided to order the entire army to go north back to Tianyuan County. At this time, he thought of his verbal covenant with Arden again, and immediately told the three people about it.
Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan were all stunned after hearing this. They joined forces with Du Ji to destroy Ning first and then Tia. This was unexpected, especially Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan. All they thought about was how to Eliminating Zhong Tian was not that far ahead, but Qiu Zhen quickly reacted, nodded with a smile, and said leisurely: "When the master eliminates Zhong Tian's rebel party, a battle with Ning is inevitable. If we can have If Du Ji cooperates with our army in the north of Ning State, we can form a pincer attack, which will be of great benefit to our army. As for Tia, it is far away from us. There will be no loss for us if we help Du Ji capture it. !”
Qiu Zhen's intention was very clear, and he supported Tang Yin and Du Ji to form an alliance.
Tang Yin said faintly: "Yes, I think so too. It doesn't matter whether Ning Dao is destroyed or not. The key is to destroy Ning's strong national power so that it no longer threatens me, Dafeng!" Through Zhong Tian's rebellion, Tang Yin I understand the truth that it is too difficult to destroy a country, but it is extremely powerful to change the foundation of a country.
After the advice of Qiu Zhen and others, Tang Yin adopted Zong Yuan's strategy, withdrew his troops and headed north, returned to Tianyuan County, and released the news to the outside world that due to continuous fighting, the officers and men were extremely tired and needed to return to Tianyuan County to rest and recuperate. As for the crusade against Zhong Tian Let’s wait until next spring to talk about it.
The military orders were like mountains. Tang Yin was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He gave the order and the 500,000 Tianyuan Army gathered in Jinguang County began to raise their troops and march towards Tianyuan County in batches.
The Tianyuan Army gave up the opportunity to pursue the victory, and instead of stationing in Jinguang County, they went north back to Tianyuan County. Once the news spread, there was almost a sound of disappointment in Feng Kingdom.
People are full of expectations for the Tianyuan Army, and their hopes of recovering the Feng Kingdom are also pinned on the Tianyuan Army. However, the current approach of the Tianyuan Army is undoubtedly short-sighted and misses a great battle situation. It is conceivable that if they wait until next year to fight again, it will be equivalent to giving Zhong Tian has been given a whole year to recuperate, and when he regains his breath, how easy will it be to eliminate Zhong Tian?
At this time, many people were secretly cursing in their hearts that Tang Yin had no ambition and that the mud could not support the wall. They really should not have pinned their hopes on this little county chief.
After Zhong Tian learned about this, his reaction was completely opposite to that of the people of Feng Kingdom. The old man jumped up and down with excitement, sighing in his heart, God help me! After all, Tang Yin was just a county chief. He was a mediocre person who relied on his dancing skills to reach a high position. He could not become a great figure and did not pose much of a threat to himself.
