When Qiu Zhen finished speaking, Tang Yin looked up and laughed, praising repeatedly: "What a good strategy, what a good strategy. Everyone, what do you think?"
All the generals had no objections and said in unison: "Prime Minister Qiu's plan is very clever."
"Okay, then let's do what Qiu Zhen wants!" Tang Yin said, "Send two armies southward...who is willing to go?"
Before anyone else could speak, Xiao Muqing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the general is willing to pursue the remnants of Wei Zheng, and vows to catch all the Ning thieves and eradicate them." The Pingyuan Army suffered heavy losses in the attack on Ningying. Of course, Xiao Muqing wanted to avenge Wei Zheng's revenge.
The heads are used to pay homage to the heroic spirits of fallen brothers.
Tang Yin thought for a while and felt that having the Pingyuan Army pursue Wei Zheng's First Division would reassure him the most. He then nodded and said, "Okay, Mu Qing, the task of annihilating Wei Zheng's First Division will be left to you. However, your Pingyuan Army's
Are there enough troops?"
Before Xiao Muqing could speak, Qiu Zhen said first: "Reinforcements dispatched from the country are on the way and will arrive within three days. It will not be too late to wait for the Pingyuan Army to fill up some troops before heading south to annihilate the enemy."
Xiao Muqing had no objection, and after the Battle of Zhanghe, the strength of the Pingyuan Army was indeed severely reduced. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow what Prime Minister Qiu sees."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and asked: "Then, who is willing to help Mo Jun?"
People were willing to fight beside Tang Yin, but were reluctant to help Mo Guo fight. After Tang Yin finished asking, the four commanders were silent. Finally, Ziying broke the silence and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will lead the army.
Go ahead, Eagle Army!"
Going from Hexi to Jiashang County, all the places passed by were the territory of Ning State. There were many crises and a commander with quick response was needed. Ziying was certainly one of the best candidates. Tang Yin had no objection and immediately said: "When the reinforcements arrive,
Ziying and Mu Qing set off together."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Xiao Muqing and Ziying accepted the order.
Tang Yin and his generals finalized the general strategic direction for the future, and then Qiu Zhen proposed to Tang Yin that Wang Kai, the head of Hedong County, be transferred to Hexi and let him temporarily serve as the head of Hedong and Hexi counties.
Stabilize the situation in Hexi.
Wang Kai was from Ning. When he served as the head of Hedong County, he promulgated many benevolent policies that were beneficial to the people of Ning. He had a high reputation among the people of Ning and was very capable. He managed Hedong in an orderly manner. He was appointed as the head of the two counties.
The county chief is very beneficial to stabilizing the situation.
However, because of the last assassination, Tang Yin no longer wanted to reuse Wang Kai. Instead, he wanted to execute the man secretly. Regarding Qiu Zhen's proposal, Tang Yin did not immediately agree, but said: "I still need to think about this matter again."
consider……"
Hearing what he said, Qiu Zhen understood what Tang Yin was thinking. He said sternly: "Your Majesty, Wang Kai may not have sincerely surrendered to our country, and has even secretly done something treacherous and unethical to your Majesty. However, I would like to ask your Majesty to
The overall situation is of paramount importance. Hedong and Hexi counties are the foundation of our country's westward advance. If there is chaos in these two places, our army's logistics will not be guaranteed. How can the soldiers fight with peace of mind?"
Tang Yin stared at Qiu Zhen and said nothing for a long time. For a man who was always thinking about how to kill himself to be the head of two counties, Tang Yin was not so broad-minded.
Of course Qiu Zhen could understand Tang Yin's mood. He sighed softly and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, letting Wang Kai serve as the head of the two counties is actually just a false name. On the contrary, you can also take this opportunity to let the Deputy County of Hedong
Mr. Zhang Renzhang has fully taken over the government affairs in Hedong. Even if the king wants to get rid of Wang Kai in the future, there will not be a big chaos in Hedong."
He repeatedly gave advice, but Tang Yin smiled helplessly and said, "It seems like you won't give up if you don't convince me today?!"
Qiu Zhen hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "I don't dare to..."
"Come on, don't do this, there's nothing else you dare not do." Tang Yin scolded angrily, then wandered around for a while with his hands behind his back, stopped, raised his head and said to him: "Okay, it's up to you.
Upon seeing this, Wang Kai was appointed as the head of the two counties and immediately came to Jianzhong (Hexi County City) to report!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Qiu Zhen was happy in his heart, but his face did not show it at all. He was afraid of giving a deep bow.
Qiu Zhen's few words made Wang Kai, a Ningren who held a high position in the Feng Kingdom, move up a level from the head of one county to the head of two counties. Of course, he, the head of two counties, did not have much real power.
It just has a name.
With Wang Kai taking office in Hexi County, the situation in Hexi County has gradually begun to get back on track.
The next day, early morning.
Tang Yin was sleeping in his tent when he heard someone outside the tent calling hurriedly: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Amidst the continuous calls, Tang Yin woke up. He cursed secretly in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, General Gu and General Wu want to see you!" The captain of the guard outside the tent heard Tang Yin's unkind tone and replied in a trembling voice.
Guyue and Wuying? What are they doing here so early? Tang Yin turned over and sat up on the bed, took a moment to calm down, and then said, "Let them come closer!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Not long after, Gu Yue and Wuying approached from outside the tent. When they got inside the tent, Wuying's jade face suddenly turned red. Tang Yin, who was sitting on the bed, only wore trousers and a shirtless upper body, revealing his whole body.
Muscles that are strong yet beautiful.
At this time, Tang Yin was still half asleep and half awake. He scratched his hair randomly, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's the matter? Has Ning Ren called?"
"No..." Gu Yue and Wu Ying said at the same time. They looked at each other. Gu Yue smiled bitterly and said: "General Wu, it's you who have to say it!"
Wuying did not give in. He took two steps forward and said angrily: "Your Majesty, hundreds of our soldiers were captured by the other three armies. Now they are all going to be executed. General Gu and I went to stop them, but we couldn't stop them at all. Xiao Muqing
,Liang Qi and Ziying are not collaborating to bully others?"
"Ah?" Tang Yin was stunned by her meaningless words. His mind was filled with confusion and he could not even react. Who had arrested whom? Who was going to execute whom?
Wuying continued reluctantly: "The direct army is the king's close army, and it is inevitable to be hated by others. However, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying blatantly wanted to execute the officers and soldiers of the direct army. They simply did not take the king seriously.
Here, even, they simply want to rebel..."
Gu Yue, who was on the side, felt very upset when he heard this. How could the word "rebellion" be said nonsense? Women are women, and they are the only one who can make trouble. He coughed heavily, signaling Wuying to stop talking nonsense.
Tang Yin frowned, looked at Wuying, and asked, "Xiaoying, what's going on? Please tell me in detail."
Wuying said angrily: "In the middle of the night, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying suddenly checked the private belongings of all the soldiers in the army. They found gold and silver in the private belongings of some of our soldiers. The three of them demanded that they seize the loot and fail to report it.
All these soldiers will be executed. They are now at the school military field and are about to be executed. Your Majesty, please go and have a look!"
"Is this happening?" Tang Yin was not sleepy at all. He froze for a moment on the bed, waved his hand to lift the quilt, and walked out of the bed. He didn't even wear the king's clothes, but simply put on a Chinese coat and followed Gu Yue and Wu Ying.
Arrive at the school military field.
It was just getting dark now, and the school military field in the Feng Army camp was extremely lively. Looking up, there was a sea of people. It was said that there were at least more than 100,000 Feng Army officers and soldiers gathered around the school military field.
The guards took the lead to step forward and clear the way for Tang Yin. Under the protection of Guyue, Wuying, Yuanwu, Yuan Biao, Ah San, Ah Si and others, Tang Yin walked into the school military field.
Seeing the king's arrival, the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Feng Army knelt down and saluted.
Tang Yin ignored the people around him and looked forward. Well, he saw more than 500 people kneeling in the center of the school military field. There were also about a thousand soldiers and a hundred executioners holding ghost-headed knives standing around. Again.
Looking forward, not only Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying are here, but also Qiu Zhen, Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin, Letian, Ai Jia and other generals are here, as well as Shangguan Yuanrang, who has not yet fully recovered from his injuries.
Everyone was present.
It was rare for people to gather so many people, but the irony was that they wanted to execute their own soldiers. Tang Yin felt depressed and walked forward with a cold face.
"King!"
All the generals knelt on one knee to greet Tang Yin.
The soldiers of the Feng Army who were about to be executed turned around and knelt down facing Tang Yin, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life -"
Seeing the soldiers under his command were crying with snot and tears, Tang Yin was angry and funny. He shouted coldly: "I bled and sweated on the battlefield and didn't cry. Why are you crying now?" After speaking, he looked around Qiu Zhen,
Xiao Muqing and others asked: "Who can tell me what is going on?"
Ziying said loudly: "Go back to your Majesty, these soldiers have hidden their trophies and should be killed according to the law!"
Tang Yin's brows knitted into knots, and he said quietly: "It's just a few trophies hidden away, why would you go to such great lengths to fight?"
Ziying replied: "Your Majesty, you will not forget what we discussed yesterday, right? My ministers have vowed to severely punish those who violate military discipline, and Your Majesty has already agreed. The officers and soldiers who discovered these private possessions today and refused to report them will naturally be punished."
It should be dealt with according to military law."
Unexpectedly, Ziying would use his words to suppress him. Tang Yin clenched his fists subconsciously. He looked around at the other people and found that they were all looking at him eagerly. Tang Yin felt dark in his heart and walked up to Ziying and approached his face.
In his ear, he whispered: "Ziying, you are so brave!"
"We have strict military laws and disciplines. If the king thinks it's inappropriate, we can punish our sins!" Ziying said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You..." Tang Yin took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I remember I said before that the soldiers can keep 40% of the spoils they seize as their own..."
Before he finished speaking, Ziying interrupted: "At that time, the king was just the head of the county, and the soldiers below were all county soldiers. Naturally, the requirements can be relaxed, but now the king is the county of a country, and the soldiers are all county soldiers."
How can the regular Central Military Army still comply with the original requirements?"
