Chapter 124 Fan Min stayed in Tang Yin's house for a long time, and Tang Yin usually didn't look for Fan Min, and the latter wouldn't come to him, and the two of them were fine.
A few days later, Lotte and Aijia, who had secretly lurked in the city-state of Besa to inquire about the Beastmaster Town, both returned.
Knowing that the two of them were back, Tang Yin was overjoyed and immediately summoned the two of them.
After meeting, before Lotte and Ai Jia met, Tang Yin couldn't wait to ask: "The situation in Beastmaster Town has been investigated clearly."
Lotte and Aijia were summoned by Tang Yin as soon as they returned to Hengcheng, and they didn't even have time to change their clothes, and their faces were covered with dirt.
The two of them nodded in unison and said, "My lord, it's all understood."
"Oh, how's that happening?"
Ai Jia took out a sheepskin map from his bosom and handed it to Tang Yin, Zhengse said, "My lord, this is the map of Beastmaster Town. ” Tang Yin hurriedly took it and took it out to examine it carefully, the map was obviously drawn by Ai Jia temporarily, although the painting was rough and simple, it could still be understood.
Beastmaster Town is indeed not far from the border of the Wind Country, only more than a hundred miles away, if you ride a fast horse, it only takes half a day to get there.
Because it is an important town for hoarding Bessa's military materials, the area of Beastmaster Town is not small, and there are simple city walls and city defense facilities on the periphery, but there are relatively few defenders inside, probably because of the heavy defeat of the Besa army in the border city, the number of defenders in Beastmaster Town has also been affected, and there are only more than 3,000 people at present.
On top of that, the Wind Army has never entered Besa's territory, so the Beastmaster Town is very wary, and the discipline of the army inside is very loose.
Tang Yin looked at the map, and Lotte and Aijia gave him a detailed explanation.
Although he didn't speak, he memorized everything they had described, and his brain was running rapidly.
After Lotte and Ai Jia fell behind for a while, Tang Yin asked: "Is there a stronghold of barbarians near Beastmaster Town" This question is very critical, the defenders of Beastmaster Town are only more than 3,000 people, and it is easy to deal with, but if there is a stronghold of barbarians nearby, and they can rush over for reinforcements as soon as possible, then things will be troublesome.
I didn't expect Tang Yin to suddenly ask a question outside of Beastmaster Town, Ai Jia was not prepared, she frowned, and said, "This subordinate hasn't checked yet" Before he could finish speaking, Lotte took a step forward and said: "In the northwest of Beastmaster Town, there is another town fifty miles away, the specific situation is unknown, but the scale of the town is very large, and there should be a lot of brute soldiers inside. ” Ai Jia looked at Lotte in surprise, she really didn't expect that Lotte would send his subordinates to a place fifty miles away, she whispered dissatisfiedly: "It turns out that you knew that adults would ask this, why didn't you remind me" Lotte smiled bitterly, he was not a roundworm in Tang Yin's stomach, how could he know that Tang Yin would ask such a question.
He said: "Although we now have a map of the city-state of Besa, it is too general, and I don't know if there are any errors in it without checking, so I plan to draw a map myself, and just take the opportunity to infiltrate the city-state of Besa, I sent my subordinates out to explore the terrain, and did not deliberately check whether there are still barbarian fortresses around the town of the beastmaster." ” Ai Jia was not convinced, and wanted to speak again, Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand, interrupted her following words, and said to Lotte: "This time Lotte did a good job, and he was very careful, and he should be rewarded" As he spoke, he said to Ai Jia, who had a bad face: "I hope that next time, you can do as well as General Le." ” The implication is that Ai Jia did not do as well as Lotte this time.
Hearing Tang Yin say this, even if Ai Jia was unconvinced, it was not easy to say anything more, and the facts were in front of her, and Lotte's investigation this time was indeed better than her.
She secretly glared at Lotte, then lowered her head and remained silent, but she had already made up her mind in her heart that next time, she would definitely compare to Lotte.
In terms of ability, Ai Jia is indeed inferior to Lotte, but the former has the spirit of never admitting defeat and works very hard, which Tang Yin appreciates very much, and it is precisely because of this that he has kept Ai Jia, an intelligence organization, and has not canceled it because of cost savings.
Tang Yin looked at the map of Beastmaster Town, pondered for a while, and then raised his head and said to the attendants below: "Immediately gather all the generals and come to our place to discuss military affairs."
"Yes," the attendant intervened, and ran out quickly.
It didn't take long for Qiu Zhen, the commanders of each corps, Cheng Jin, Xiao Muqing and others to arrive one after another.
Now there are more and more capable people under Tang Yin's command, and when the meeting starts, the hall is also overcrowded.
Tang Yin ordered the servants to remove all the chairs in the hall, and then set up two tables in the center, and everyone stood around, including himself.
In Tang Yin's view, a military meeting is not a tea party, there is no need to sit on a chair and chat slowly, if you want to discuss, just get to the point, simple and clear.
He put 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 state, and a hundred miles away from the border city, there is the military town of the barbarian state, Beast King Town, every time the barbarian army invades our territory, it is through this place to make supplies first, what do you think?"
Gu Yue clenched his fists and said, "My lord, since this town is so important to the barbarian state, we should eradicate it as soon as possible to prevent future troubles." ” "General Gu means that our Plains Army will invade the territory of the Barbarian State and attack the Beast King Town," Zhang Zhou asked.
"That's right."
"It's not proper" Zhang Zhou shook his head again and again, and said: "It's too risky to do this, my Feng army has never invaded the barbarian state, this time we have to go deep into the territory of the barbarian state for a hundred miles to fight, it's too dangerous, if one is not good, the whole army will be annihilated."
Zhang Zhou is an old man of the Plains Army, and his thinking is relatively conservative, in his opinion, invading the barbarian state and fighting is tantamount to killing himself.
Gu Yue is a typical radical, he said: "The last time we defeated the barbarians in the border city, the adults led us to chase the enemy for dozens of miles without incident, it can be seen that the barbarians are nothing more than that, and our army can also come and go freely in the territory of the barbarian state, why does General Zhang grow the enemy's sharpness and destroy our own prestige" "That's different" "It's no different."
The two of them have a word and I can't argue, Tang Yin was a headache by the two of them, he supported Gu Yue, and the sneak attack on Beast King Town was also a plan he had already thought of, but he also understood that there were not a few people like Zhang Zhou in the Plains Army who had old ideas, and if he couldn't be convinced, he was afraid that it would cause disagreements in the army.
He glanced at the Angel of Joy on the side.
The latter understood and said: "The town of the beast king is only more than a hundred miles away from our country, which is not too far, even if it is infantry, it will take less than two days to arrive, and there is no barbarian checkpoint on the road, and there is no barbarian fortress, the most important thing is that we have never taken the initiative to attack the territory of the barbarian state, so the barbarians are defenseless, in addition, the defenders of the beast king town are not many, around three thousand people, if our army can implement the tactics of a surprise attack, we will be able to kill the barbarians by surprise and completely annihilate the defenders of the beast king city" When Zhang Zhou heard this, he grinned and said: "However, when our army marched towards the town of the beastmaster, what should we do if it was detected by the enemy, even if it was not detected, even if we really succeeded in sneaking up on the town of the beastmaster and annihilated the barbarians there, but how should we come back for two days, this is enough for the barbarians to gather a large number of troops to pursue and intercept our army, once they fall into the enemy's heavy encirclement, our soldiers will have no return."
"This won't happen" Before Zhang Zhou could finish talking rhetorically, Tang Yin interrupted: "We will use the cavalry riding the Mozambican war horse to sneak attack the Beastmaster Town, and we will go back and forth, and it won't take a day."
"Ah" Zhang Zhou's eyes widened in surprise, how could there be a Mozambican war horse in his own hand Tang Yin smiled slightly, and said: "I have ordered four thousand war horses from the hands of the Mozambican horse merchants, within three days, these war horses can be transported to Hengcheng, at that time, our army will send four thousand cavalry to attack the beast king town, not to mention that it will not be discovered by the spies of the barbarians, even if it is found, the speed at which they report the news will not be as fast as our horses, General Zhang, what do you say?"
"This" Zhang Zhou rubbed his chin and muttered: "If there are Mozambican war horses, this battle is feasible, but with only 4,000 cavalry to attack more than 3,000 barbarians, even if we win, the loss of our army is not small."
"That's right" Tang Yin nodded, and said in accordance with his words: "So, I will go to this battle in person." ” Fluttering Zhang Zhou almost vomited blood when he heard this.
In the past, he served as a county guard, and he couldn't hide from the barbarians, but Tang Yin, the county code, was just the opposite, he liked to go to places with many barbarians, and the more dangerous it was, the more he had to do it himself.
"My lord" Zhang Zhou Zhengse said: "There are war horses from the Mo country available, our army can consider sneaking up on the beast king town of the barbarian state, but the lord has to go in person, this is too dangerous, and there is no need for the lord to go in person."
Tang Yin shook his head and said: "With me, the soldiers below will not be afraid of the barbarians and can fight bravely, and only in this way can our losses be minimized."
The war horses of the Mozambican country are not easy to come by, and the surnames of the soldiers of our Feng Army are even more precious, if any general is confident that his ability is above me, I can also make Xian this time."
After Zhang Zhou listened, he immediately shut up and didn't say much.
Tang Yin's words are certainly moving, but he is also oppressing people with words, he is a county guard, as a subordinate, who has the courage to dare to say in public is stronger than him After only a slight pause for three seconds, while everyone was silent, Tang Yin continued: "Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is decided."
I will take 3,000 cavalry to attack the Beastmaster Town, in addition, Xiao Senjun will lead 1,000 cavalry, and go to the northwest of the Beastmaster Town ten miles away, and set up an ambush here.

Xiao Muqing didn't understand why Tang Yin wanted to set up an ambush in the northwest of Beastmaster Town, how smart and experienced he was, his eyes rolled, and he asked: "Could it be that there is a barbarian fortress in the northwest of Beastmaster Town?"
Tang Yin smiled, secretly said smartly, he nodded in response: "There is no fortress, but there are towns with barbarian soldiers."
There are still barbarian towns near the Beast King Town, and when everyone heard this, their faces changed
