"Junior has taken his leave. If you need anything, please feel free to send someone to call for me," Mo Wen said, having written down the information on the Beast Skin that was stored in his instinctual memory. It was a scattered collection of notes, but after organizing it, he believed it would be somewhat helpful for Yin Qian in winning this battle. Moreover, he felt it was not appropriate for him to get too involved in the military affairs of the Jin Family, so he handed the Beast Skin over to Yin Qian. Whether Yin Qian used it or not, or how much he could utilize it, was no longer his concern.
"Brother He, it seems you were well-prepared. Could you perhaps share a copy with me for my perusal?" Yin Jianren had been quiet as a mouse at Yin Qian's residence, but as soon as they left his father's place, his usual mischievous demeanor returned.
"How could I earn money from your family without preparation? I'm counting on the generous rewards afterward to make a living," Mo Wen replied. Unbeknownst to him, what he had given to Yin Qian was unique in this world and, in Yin Qian's eyes, priceless. It later became a required course for the Jin Family's younger generation.
When Mo Wen was called back again, it was already Zi Shi. The general's hall was brightly lit, and both the main and deputy generals of the Yinzhou Ninth Camp were present. At the entrance of the hall, Mo Wen was pulled aside into a side chamber by Yin Jianren. Although Jianren could be annoying, he still played a crucial role at critical moments. Once inside the side chamber, Mo Wen let out a sigh of relief; if not for Jianren pulling him along, he would have felt quite awkward. Inside the side chamber were several influential figures from the Jin Family—some he recognized from previous encounters and others he did not. With Yin Jianren's introduction, he greeted them one by one.
There was no Magic Circle separating the side chamber from the main hall; thus, they could clearly hear the discussions taking place within. At that moment, Yin Qian was arranging strategies to face their enemies.
"Brother He, I find myself confused. Isn't my father's approach playing right into the enemy's hands?" Yin Jianren asked, perplexed. His father had disclosed intelligence received from scouts to all the generals and instructed them to relay it down the ranks. Essentially, those willing to fight under the Yin name would receive rewards regardless of victory or defeat; those unwilling were not forced to stay and could take some money and leave.
"Jianren, how many people do you think in that main hall would actually run away? Even if your father says he won't pursue their responsibility for desertion, if they do so, it would bring shame upon their families. Even if someone hesitates now, it's better than fleeing during battle," General Yin analyzed their thoughts accurately. Given these generals' backgrounds and family standings, they were unlikely to flee; not only would they not run away, but they would also strive to achieve merit during battle. Although these accomplishments might not gain them much recognition from Yin Qian personally, their status within their families would rise significantly because of them—status equated to resources for these noble families.
"Alas! After living so many years, I failed to see such an important point clearly. How embarrassing," Yin Jianren realized his father's intentions only after hearing Mo Wen's explanation.
"I told you to read more books; it's a shame you're still Mr. You Ran's disciple and don't mind bringing disgrace upon your teacher," Yin Qian remarked as he entered the side chamber. This comment left Jianren momentarily speechless. However, Yin Qian did not continue scolding his son but instead began making arrangements with the members of the Jin Family present. At this time, Cheng Shi had already brought Kao Shu Village and members of the Li Family outside the hall. Seeing Cheng Shi chatting happily with Li Erniu surprised Mo Wen; it seemed they were already acquainted.
