Tang Yin laughed, then waved his hand: "All of you are County Head, and all of you call yourself officials, I do not dare to act like one!"

The County Head s of the seven counties said immediately: "Master Tang is my, Great Gale's, meritorious service. We, the following officials, call ourselves, so it is not excessive."

Tang Yin did not debate any further on this matter, he waved his hand and said: "Masters, please take a seat!"

The seven county County Head cupped their hands in thanks and sat down.

Tang Yin looked around, seeing that all the seats were filled, he clapped his hands. Very quickly, the servants filed in, and served the food and wine. Currently, there were no servants in Tang Yin's residence. Instead, they were all temporarily held down by his personal bodyguards. After the food and wine were served, the bodyguards did not retreat, but stood separately behind everyone.

This was etiquette, so when the guests finished drinking, the servants were to immediately go up and fill them up. However, the servants had all changed to guards wearing steel armor, with burly stature and sabers at each of their waists, standing behind the County Head s, causing them to feel a chill on the backs of their necks.

Tang Yin did not care what the crowd thought, he raised his wine cup and swept his gaze across everyone. He said seriously: "May the wind calm down the civil strife, the national peace, and the prosperity of the nation. Come, Masters and Generals, let us toast!"

"F * ck!" Everyone hurriedly raised their cups and drank all the wine in it in one gulp.

Tang Yin put down the cup and said unhurriedly: "There are a total of fifteen counties of Feng Country. After Zhong Tian usurped the throne, other than my Tianyuan County, all fourteen counties respect Zhong Tian as their leader, it's really painful!"

These words made all the County Head present blush, including the first person to rely on Tang Yin, Zhao Hui.

"Master Tang …"

Without waiting for the County Head s to open their mouths to explain, Tang Yin grinned, nodded and said, "Of course, I can understand the difficulties everyone is facing.

Whoosh! Everyone heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Tang Yin continued to speak: Right now, I am suffering from both internal and external troubles, and life and death are tied at the same time, I hope that the various Masters will work together with the Government to fight against internal troubles, and external enemies. You and I should not only be subjects of the same dynasty, but brothers that are as close as brothers.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Master Tang is right! " Tang Yin's words were spoken with such dignity that the County Head s did not dare to say anything else. They all nodded in agreement.

Tang Yin said: "Since we are brothers, we will not be separated. Now that Zhong Tian and Ning Jun are at the Wan City, we should focus our forces and completely eliminate the enemy. It is not enough for just me alone, we need the full support of everyone here! "

After a while, he finally got to the point. All the County Head s were not idiots, each one was smarter than the other. Hearing the meaning behind Tang Yin's words, they were obviously here to ask for money.

Sure enough, Tang Yin paused for a bit, and then said: "If every county does not directly go up against Zhong Tian's power, then there's no use for the county soldiers to stay in each county, why not assign them to Yan City and join forces with me to eliminate the enemy?

"This …" The County Head of Shang Qing Province, Zhao Bo said with a troubled expression, "Master Tang, the county soldiers were already dispatched when the Ning Army attacked the capital. They were later dismissed by the Master Tang and have yet to be recruited again.

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed and said: "Master Zhao is too modest! At the very least, it would be twenty thousand, or at most forty to fifty thousand. If Masters were to say that you do not have any soldiers, you would be deceiving me, Tang Yin, for being ignorant. "

Ah? Zhao Bo inhaled a breath of cold air. This Tang Yin was amazing, he actually had a thorough understanding of the situation in the various counties.

Gulp! Zhao Bo swallowed his saliva. His reaction was fast, he immediately changed his smile and said: "Master Tang is very observant, I am impressed, there is currently a new batch of warriors recruited from the Upper Qing Province, a total of twenty thousand, but most of them are new recruits. I'm afraid that it would be difficult to do anything on the battlefield."

Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "The new recruits will become veterans after a few big battles, furthermore, the city needs our soldiers to guard, Master Zhao, transfer your twenty thousand soldiers to the capital!"

"Oh …" Currently, the County Head s of the various counties all viewed their forces as their very own lifeblood, how could Tang Yin leave just because of a single sentence? Zhao Bo had a difficult expression on his face, and wanted to reject the offer, but he did not know how to do so.

Seeing that, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, leaned his head out, and laughed: "What? Could it be that the Master Zhao still needed to hide this when the country was in danger? "Then is your county army my army or your private army?"

These words caused Zhao Bo to shiver and made all the guards in the room turn their heads to look at Zhao Bo. These words caused Zhao Bo to shiver and made all the guards in the room turn their heads and look at Zhao Bo.

Zhao Bo who was kneeling on the mat immediately stood up, he cupped his hands and bowed towards Tang Yin, and said with a trembling voice: "Go … This official would never dare to keep the army in secret, my lord will investigate it clearly! " Pausing for a moment, he continued, "As long as you have orders, I will follow your instructions!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head in satisfaction, pointed at Zhao Bo, and laughed to the left and right: "Now this is me, Gale's loyal subject, this is my brother. If one day you can eliminate Zhong Tian, Master Zhao will also make a great contribution. When that time comes, I will direct the imperial court to do it, and give Master Zhao a great reward! "

"Thank you Master Tang, thank you Master Tang!" Now, Zhao Bo didn't dare to ask for a reward. All he wanted was for him to be safe and sound.

"Master Zhao, please take a seat!" After Tang Yin comforted Zhao Bo, he looked at Tai An County's County Head Yu Yi who was sitting to his left and laughed: "Master Yu, how many soldiers do you have from Tai An County?"

Yu Yi came from a martial arts background, so he was quite straightforward and hot-tempered. Tang Yin said that he was here to treat them to a meal, but in reality, he was here to seize the military power. Yu Yi's expression was cold as he said solemnly, "Only ten or twenty thousand."

"Only ten or twenty thousand?" Tang Yin stared straight at Yu Yi.

Yu Yi suppressed his anger. He took a deep breath and said, "At most, no more than 30,000 …"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin said faintly: "Among all the counties, Tai An County has the largest number of soldiers, with a total of fifty thousand soldiers. Master Yu thinks that I am not clear about it?"

Yu Yi's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at Tang Yin in shock. What Tang Yin said was right, there were currently fifty thousand soldiers in Tai An County. However, Yu Yi had never mentioned this matter to anyone, so he did not understand how Tang Yin knew about it.

What he did not know was that ever since they had entered the city, Tang Yin had started using his Sky Eye and Earth Web, two major intelligence organizations, to investigate the military strength of the various counties. He had started his career with the county soldiers, and was very clear on the strength of a county.

Tang Yin had already made up his mind long ago that he would cancel all the county soldiers and put them into the Central Army. The soldiers in the county could only listen to the orders given by the capital, and the County Head had no right to move them. Now, he had taken the opportunity to invite the various county County Head s for a drink, and had also seized the military power in their hands in order to eliminate future troubles.

Yu Yi and Tang Yin looked at each other for a moment before saying, "Even if I, Tai An, have fifty thousand commanderies, what is Master Tang planning to do?"

Tang Yin said casually: "Of course to move to the capital and work hard to eliminate the traitor."

"Ha ha!" Yu Yi laughed and said: "Master Tang is my County Head, I am also my County Head, I think my Master Tang has no right to give me orders! Furthermore, to redeploy the county's army, at least the Great General or the Minister of the Left must give the order. I wonder if the Master Tang … "

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin had already raised his arm and slapped Yu Yi's face.

His movements were too fast and too sudden, as a martial general, Yu Yi was caught off guard, and got hit on the face by Tang Yin's palm.

With a crisp snap, the power behind the table was so strong that Yu Yi, who was sitting behind it, tumbled to the table. In an instant, half of the latter's face swelled up so high that he sat up on the ground and raised his head. He looked at Tang Yin in shock and fear that he couldn't react in time.

He could not believe that Tang Yin would actually slap his County Head in public.

At this time, Tang Yin's face had already darkened. He pointed at Yu Yi below and coldly said: "I treat you as my brother. I reason with you, yet you treat my words as fart! You are just a mere County Head, in times of national crisis, you do not seek to repay with loyalty, but only seek for personal gain, what kind of Feng Chen are you? What kind of loyalty was this? Get out of here! "

"Tang Yin, you …"

Yu Yi finally reacted. Just as he was about to speak, all the guards around the hall surged forward and pulled Yu Yi out without saying a word.

Before it was even easy to be dragged out of the hall, Tang Yin had already shouted: "Xiao Muqing, listen up!"

"This lowly general is here!"

Hearing Tang Yin's words, Xiao Muqing straightened his body and stood up. He walked forward, knelt on one knee, and interfered with the greeting.

"Tai An Prefecture's County Head Yu Yi does not listen to the orders of the imperial government and has secretly harbored the intention to rebel. Tomorrow, you will command the Pingyuan Army and go on a crusade!"

"This lowly general obeys your command!"

Yu Yi, who was dragged out by the guards, was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that Tang Yin would give him such a rebellious hat so quickly, and even send troops to suppress him.

"Master Tang... Master Tang, listen to my explanation … "

"Need a bullshit explanation?!" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said: "I am someone who keeps his promises. Since the letter I summoned you into the capital stated that it would not harm your life, I will definitely not kill you. However, this does not mean that I can tolerate the existence of a thief like you. Scram! Go home! "

Yu Yi was dragged away by Tang Yin's guards. The great hall was deathly still, and one could even hear a needle being thrown onto the ground. The County Head s were so scared that they were sweating like rain, almost peeing their pants.

Now they finally understood that whatever new government, Left Premier, Right Prime Minister, Great General, they were all just decorations. Currently, Tang Yin was just a government official, his words were equivalent to a king's decree.

This time, without Tang Yin asking, the remaining County Head took the initiative to report the number of county soldiers they had and made a promise. They would immediately send out orders and send all of their county soldiers to the capital, where they would be controlled by the imperial government.
