What Di You asked for was just a trivial matter to Tang Yin, but it was not as simple as he imagined. Di You's subordinates and the teahouse guests were indeed captured by the coalition soldiers, but they were not at all
They were escorted back to the coalition camp. Outside the coalition camp, the coalition soldiers killed all these people and buried all their bodies on the spot outside the camp.
Cheng Jin was very efficient in his work. It didn't take long to find out the matter clearly and come back to report to Tang Yin.
The soldiers who captured Di You's subordinates were from the Huan army. A captain led more than a hundred Huan soldiers into the civilian area to rob property in the name of checking the mob. As a result, when they robbed the teahouse opened by Di You, they had an affair with the waiter inside.
conflict.
Since the waiter was a spiritual cultivator, the Huan Army suffered more than twenty casualties during the conflict. After subduing the waiter and the tea guests and capturing them, the Huan Army killed them out of revenge. This is the whole story
The whole story of what happened.
After hearing this, Tang Yin frowned secretly. He had just promised Di You that he would give him a satisfactory explanation before noon. Now, everyone was dead. What else could he explain? He took a deep breath and turned to look at Li
Xin asked: "Brother Li Wang, how do you think we should solve this matter?"
It was Huan Jun who killed innocent people indiscriminately. Due to emotions and reasons, Tang Yin had to ask Li Xin what King Huan meant.
Li Xin smiled disapprovingly and wrote lightly: "It's just that the soldiers below killed a dozen Zhen people. It's no big deal. Since they are Di You's subordinates, Di You has helped us and accompanied him.
Some money can be regarded as an account."
Accompanying some money? Tang Yin did not think that this would satisfy Di You and Zhenren. He said quietly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain how to deal with it this way."
"Then what Brother Wang means is..."
"It is our fault to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If we cannot punish them severely, it will be difficult to convince the public." Tang Yin said slowly.
Li Xin was stunned and asked: "Brother Wang, didn't you want me to execute those soldiers on the spot?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said calmly: "If this is the case, it would not be a bad idea if it can calm the public's anger."
When Li Xin heard this, his anger immediately rose to his forehead. He said angrily: "Why do our troops want to subdue the public? Why do we need to calm down the public's anger? If the Zhen people are really not afraid of death and dare to collectively cause chaos, we will kill them..."
At this point, he paused and did not continue, but his intention could be seen clearly from his murderous eyes.
Lingshuang and Yueze couldn't help but provoke Lingling into a cold war. They didn't care about Zhenren's life or death, but once word spread of the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people, not only would the reputation of the coalition be destroyed, but they themselves would also have to suffer the consequences of the world.
Spurring and scolding is too damaging to one's reputation.
Tang Yin sneered in his heart and asked: "What are we going to do with them? Kill them all? Brother Li Wang, please don't forget that we are under the orders of the emperor to fight against the traitors, not to slaughter the country. What's more, there are two people in our army.
There are more than 100,000 Zhen soldiers. If we massacre the people of Zhen Kingdom, these Zhen soldiers will undoubtedly rebel. The chaos that will arise by then will be beyond our control. Even the battle of conquering Zhen may be ruined.
Once, haven’t these Li Wang brothers considered it?”
That's right, how could I have forgotten that there are Zhenjun in my own side! Lingshuang and Yueze were both shocked, nodded repeatedly, and responded: "Brother Wang (Brother Wang) is right, massacre the people
, would have been shamed by the people of the world, not to mention, there is still a hidden danger of more than 200,000 Zhenjun, so you must not be impulsive now!"
Tang Yin, Ling Shuang, and Yue Ze are all of the same caliber, and their concerns are not unreasonable. Li Xin thought about it carefully, stamped his feet, and said angrily: "Okay, even if what I just said was a bit extreme,
But those soldiers..."
"Indiscriminate killing of innocent people should be punished according to military law. There is absolutely no room for discussion on this matter!" Tang Yin answered firmly.
Li Xin took a breath, rolled his eyes, and finally, he tilted his head helplessly and said: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about such trivial matters, let Brother Wang make the decision!" After speaking, he rolled his sleeves.
And go.
The coalition forces only considered this incident to be a trivial matter, but they did not expect that it would cause the dissatisfaction of the people of Zhen Kingdom to burst out collectively.
This is not the first time that the coalition forces have entered civilian areas to kill people and arrest people. It happens from time to time. If your personal safety is not guaranteed, you may become the victim of the coalition forces at any time. How can the people not panic?
Can you not be angry? The arrest of people by the coalition forces this time became a trigger. By the time it reached noon, tens of thousands of Zhenguo people had gathered outside the camp gate of the coalition forces. People's hands were not empty, and some were holding sticks.
, some were carrying kitchen knives, and it looked like they might fight the coalition forces at any time.
The coalition forces were also facing a formidable enemy. They posted sentries outside the camp and all the patrolling soldiers retreated to the camp. The camp gates were closed tightly. The walls of the stronghold were filled with coalition soldiers. Their swords were unsheathed, their arrows were unstrung, and their spearheads were pointed directly at the people outside the camp.
.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense and solemn, as if it were filled with gasoline and could be ignited if it sticks to the fire.
Tang Yin was shocked when he heard the report from the soldiers, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was also an opportunity. An opportunity to express himself.
He did not kill the dozens of Huan troops immediately, but let the soldiers escort them to the camp gate. Then, he personally led the people to the camp gate.
Looking outside through the fence, well, the people of Zhenguo gathered outside can only be described as a huge crowd, and they all looked murderous. Tang Yin shook his head and smiled, raised his head to the guards on the left and right and said: "Open
Yuanmen, I am leaving the camp!"
"Your Majesty, all the people outside are the unruly people of Zhenguo. It's too dangerous to go out now!" Cheng Jin stopped him in a low voice.
"If this matter cannot be solved, then it will be really dangerous!" Tang Yin replied casually. Seeing that the guards around him were still standing blankly and no one moved, he asked in a deep voice: "What? You didn't
Do you hear what I say clearly?"
The guards did not dare to neglect any more and hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the camp gate to open the camp gate immediately. With a creaking and rubbing sound, the camp gate was slowly opened, and the soldiers of the Feng Army in the camp rushed out and lined up outside the camp gate.
Take a stand.
The people outside were startled and retreated one after another out of instinctive reaction. They took a step back, and the battle formation of the coalition soldiers took a step forward. As they moved forward, they were accompanied by shouts in unison.
The people are the people. No matter how warlike the people are and how tough the folk customs are, they will still be a lot lower in terms of momentum in front of the regular army.
Di You did not go home. He was also among the crowd at this time. When he saw the coalition troops rushing out of the joint camp, he thought they were going to kill the people. He was extremely nervous and shouted to everyone around him: "Don't be impulsive! Back off.
!Back off for now!”
He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Just by looking at the military appearance and momentum of the coalition forces that rushed out, you can tell that this is by no means a ragtag group. It is very likely that they are the most brave and capable warriors among the coalition forces.
When the wind troops of 20,000 to 30,000 people all formed a fighting formation outside the camp, the soldiers in front stopped advancing. The heavy shield bearers all pushed forward, and the tall and heavy copper shields smashed on the ground.
There was a series of "bang, bang" sounds, and then, with a clattering sound, a uniform long halberd poked out from above the shield. The front of the entire Fengjun camp looked like a steel hedgehog, and the soldiers behind raised their crossbows.
The soldiers behind him twisted their bows and set arrows, pointing their arrows diagonally into the air.
This is a typical Feng Army battle formation. The heavy shield bearers and halberd bearers in the front are responsible for holding down the formation and pushing forward, and the crossbows and bows at the back are responsible for attacking input. The entire camp is both offensive and defensive, capable of fighting and retreating.
Feng Jun was not ambiguous at all, and immediately started to fight a regular battle, which made Di You and many other people in the Zheng Kingdom shed cold sweat involuntarily.
Just when they were in a state of confusion, shouts came one after another from the Feng Army camp. Then, the center of the camp separated to the left and right to make way for a passage, and a dozen riders slowly walked out from behind the Feng Army camp.
Di You raised his eyes and looked. After seeing clearly who was coming, he felt relieved. It turned out that it was Tang Yin and his party who came out of the Feng Army.
He hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and shouted loudly: "I see His Highness the Wind King!"
His voice caused a buzzing discussion among the people. People's eyes all fell on Tang Yin, and they whispered, it turned out that this person was the Wind King Tang Yin, and he didn't expect to be so young.
Tang Yin is easy to identify. The people around him are all generals in armor. Only he is wearing a brocade robe and walking in the middle of the crowd. The people around him are respectful and extremely humble towards him.
Urging the horse to walk out of the Fengjun camp, Tang Yin did not stop and continued to walk towards the crowd of common people. He didn't stop until he was almost in front of the crowd, turned over and dismounted, helped Di You up, who was saluting, and said with a smile: "It turns out Mr. Di You is still here
There!"
"The villain's brothers are still being detained in the coalition camp. The villain really can't rest assured, so he has been waiting outside the camp." Di You said seriously.
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded and said nothing further.
When Di You saw this, his heart trembled. He raised his eyes and looked behind Tang Yin. He didn't see his three subordinates who were captured by the coalition forces. He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, King Feng, I don't know what the three villains are?"
Where is your subordinate now?"
Tang Yin sighed quietly and said: "Mr. Di You, I'm very sorry. Your subordinates and those tea guests were killed outside the camp last night!"
"What?" When Di You heard this, his eyes widened and he couldn't recover for a long time.
These subordinates of his were all his subordinates in the army. When he was discharged from the army due to injury, these subordinates also followed him to the discharge of the army, and their relationship with him was as close as brothers. Now that he heard that they were all killed, De You
My heart was clenched.
The scene was completely silent and there was no sound. I don’t know how long it had passed before someone in the crowd of common people suddenly shouted: “Get out of Zhenguo, the coalition dog thief! The murderer will not die well——”
This voice suddenly ignited the pent-up anger in people's hearts. The angry people of Zhenguo crowded forward at the same time, with their eyes wide open and ferocious expressions, as if they wanted to eat Tang Yin alive.
