Hearing Tang Yin say that he brought gold and silver as an apology, Qiu Zhen rolled his eyes and kindly reminded: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, General Ziying does not seem to value property."
After what he said, Tang Yin thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense. Ziying was indeed not greedy for gold, silver and jewelry. Most of the money he usually rewarded him was distributed to his soldiers. He asked
: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think I should bring?"
Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "The king just broke his hair and took the oath. I think the king is more sincere when he takes the broken hair than when he takes ten thousand taels of gold."
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly thought about it and said, "Okay! I'll just follow your opinion."
On that day, Tang Yin, with only about a hundred followers, quickly returned to the Hexi camp.
The current Hexi camp was empty, with only the old, weak, sick and disabled, among whom the most wounded were the most injured. After a day and night of traveling, it was already noon the next day when Tang Yin returned to the Hexi camp.
Entering the camp, he didn't rest for a moment, and went straight to Ziying's tent without even changing his dusty clothes.
Because Tang Yin arrived too quickly, the soldiers below did not have time to report, so Ziying was very surprised by Tang Yin's sudden appearance.
Seeing Ziying sitting behind the desk staring at him dumbfounded, Tang Yin showed a bright smile on his slightly tired handsome face, walked forward, lowered his head, looked down, and said with a smile: "Ziying, you are reading the military book again!
"
Ziying finally came to her senses, stood up quickly, knelt down and saluted.
Tang Yin stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Ziying, how are you living in the Hexi camp?" After a pause, he continued: "Everyone has left for the expedition, and you are the only one left.
, it’s very lonely, isn’t it?!”
Ziying was very smart. After recovering from his composure, after a little thought, he roughly guessed Tang Yin's intention to suddenly return to the Hexi camp. He replied with no expression on his face and seriously: "No! I will follow the king everywhere."
During the war, it is rare to have time to rest, so I am living a very comfortable life these days."
"Ah, that's right! Haha..." Tang Yin laughed awkwardly. He rubbed his hands, sat cross-legged in front of the desk, was silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to get to the point and said: "The Sky Eagle Army enters Xiaoling County
Do you know everything about the defeat?"
Ziying was shaken, but his expression did not change, but his face was livid and ugly. He nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I... have heard a little bit."
"Snapped!"
Tang Yin slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "The army of 60,000 was defeated by Situ Qi and only 10,000 were left. 50,000 soldiers were lost in Xiaoling County. Ziying, how did you choose this deputy commander?"
?”
Ziying lowered her head, paused for a long time and then said: "General Situ is a good general who can assist, not a commander who can support the overall situation alone!"
Tang Yin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! You should have told me about this earlier!"
Will you listen? Ziying smiled bitterly in his heart, but he wisely chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Tang Yin changed the subject and said: "Of course, I don't mean to blame you." He tapped his fingers on the table for a while, and then said: "There are only ten thousand people left in the Sky Eagle Army, and it has ceased to exist in name only, but I still hope
The Sky Eagle Army can continue to exist, but it needs to be reorganized. Ziying, who do you think is the most suitable person to form the Sky Eagle Army?"
His intention was obvious, that is, let Ziying recommend himself. Ziying did not understand what Tang Yin meant, so he replied seriously: "Former General Xiao Muqing is the most suitable. General Xiao is the commander of the Pingyuan Army and is very good at running the army. General Xiao will reorganize the army."
Sky Eagle Army, Your Majesty, you can be at ease with one hundred and twenty."
Tang Yin glanced at Ziying and thought to himself, how can you really pretend to be confused for me? He chuckled and said, "Mu Qing can't do it! He has to take care of the entire Li Pingyuan Army and is busy with affairs. How can he have time to reorganize Tianying?"
Army? Furthermore, now that Mu Qing is chasing the remnants of Wei Zheng, he is not in Hexi County!"
"Oh... then Lieutenant General Liang Qi..."
This time, before Ziying could finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted impatiently: "Liang Qi is not in Hexi County either."
"General Peng Haochu on the left and General Guyue on the right..."
"They are not suitable either." Tang Yin said patiently.
Ziying proposed one person, and Tang Yin objected to another. In the end, Ziying could not help but be happy and said: "These are the people I can think of, but the king is not satisfied with them. It seems that the king already has a suitable candidate in mind."
Bar?"
Tang Yin really didn't like Ziying's character of pretending to be crazy and being extremely sarcastic, but Feng Jun really couldn't leave Ziying.
He took a deep breath, stared at Ziying with his dark eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I do have a suitable candidate in mind."
Ziying leaned back slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "In this case, why does the king need to come to ask for my opinion?"
Tang Yin stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly: "My choice is you! Ziying, the Sky Eagle Army was originally formed by you, how about you reorganizing it now?"
Although he had already guessed Tang Yin's intention, his body was still shocked after hearing these words.
Hearing the news that the Sky Eagle Army was almost wiped out in Xiaoling County, Ziying's heart was bleeding. From yesterday when he got the news, until now, he has not eaten a drop of water or eaten a meal. In one day, his whole body has been filled with blood.
He lost a lot of weight. He was more anxious and distressed than anyone else about the Tianying Army's tragic defeat. Of course, he also blamed Tang Yin in his heart more than anyone else.
Changing commanders on the spot based solely on one's own preferences is not the behavior of a wise king. The King is fully responsible for what happened to the Sky Eagle Army.
He raised his hands and said: "I have been dismissed from my post by the king. I believe the king has not forgotten it!"
"You..." Tang Yin was about to get angry, but he suppressed his anger rationally. He slowly nodded and said, "I am indeed a little impulsive in removing you from your post." As he spoke, he turned to Yuan beside him.
Wu Zhao made his move, and the latter quickly stepped forward and handed a roll of red silk into Tang Yin's hand.
Tang Yin took it, put Hong Chou on the table, spread it out, and said, "This is my apology to you."
Ziying looked down and was stunned. Wrapped in the red thick hair was a handful of broken hair. Tang Yin scratched his hair and said, "Did you see it? This is my broken hair. I will give you the broken hair."
I apologize, General Ziying, please stop blaming me!"
Tang Yin gave him his broken hair, which Ziying never expected. Although in this era there was no concept of "the hair and skin of the body are given to parents", both nobles and commoners attached great importance to their hair.
Cutting off your hair is a great shame, and cutting off your own hair requires a lot of determination.
Ziying was stunned for three seconds, then hurriedly stood up, knelt down in front of Tang Yin with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... kill the ministers..."
Tang Yin sighed and said: "Ziying, I dismissed you out of anger and it was my fault. Now that the Sky Eagle Army is in trouble, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you can come forward and save the whole army."
Yu Shuihuo. You single-handedly created and led the Sky Eagle Army. No matter how much you blame me or hate me in your heart, can you really bear to see the Sky Eagle Army disappear into ashes?"
As a monarch, Ziying knew that this was the limit when he spoke to such an extent. He knelt on the ground without getting up, and kowtowed forward. At the same time, he asked: "I don't know how determined the king is to let me rebuild the world."
Eagle Army?”
Tang Yin's face straightened and he said decisively: "Full support! How many recruits are needed, how much silver are needed, as long as you declare them, I will approve them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ziying clenched her fists and said loudly: "As long as I have Your Majesty's support, I am confident that I can hand over to Your Majesty a prosperous Sky Eagle Army in one month's time!"
"Okay!" What Tang Yin was waiting for was Zi Ying's words. He hated his character, but he liked and appreciated Zi Ying's confidence and courage. He stood up, crossed the table directly, and put Zi Ying
He helped him up and said with emotion: "General Ziying's words make me feel relieved."
Tang Yin abandoned Ziying, causing the Tianying army to lose troops and almost be wiped out. Tang Yin also learned a lesson and personally returned to the Hexi camp, invited Ziying out again, and allowed him to continue to serve as Tianying.
The commander-in-chief of the Eagle Army is solely responsible for the reorganization of the Sky Eagle Army.
Taking Ziying back to the front military camp, his first report gave Tang Yin a headache.
Borrow troops.
Ziying did not borrow from the Pingyuan Army, the Sanshui Army, or the Chifeng Army, but instead borrowed from Tang Yin's direct army, and the price was 50,000. Tang Yin's direct army suffered some losses in the battle across the river, but they were not serious.
Later, after the reinforcements fell, the establishment was replenished, and now the total strength is about 120,000.
If 50,000 were borrowed all at once, there would be only 70,000 people left in the direct army, which was no longer satisfied with the establishment of the army. In addition, the direct army was brought out by Tang Yin. It was the close army around him. Although the military style and discipline were not very good, its combat effectiveness was
He was extremely strong, and when he went to the battlefield, everyone fought tooth and nail. Furthermore, the direct army had a deep relationship with him, and their loyalty to him was unquestionable. Now that he was asked to send out 50,000 people at once, how could he be willing to do so? Tang Yin
As if he had a clear mind, Ziying said he was borrowing, but in fact he was asking for it. This was a loan that could never be repaid.
The one who reacted most violently to Ziying's report was Wuying. In front of Tang Yin, she also objected 120 times.
However, in the end, Tang Yin chose to bear the pain and approved Ziying's application. The soldiers could be recruited again, but there was only one Ziying. In order to restore the strength and revitalization of the Sky Eagle Army, he could only make some sacrifices. In Tang Yin's view,
Come on, this can be regarded as punishment for his original impulsiveness.
Ziying started to reorganize the Skyhawk Army based on 50,000 direct troops plus 10,000 remnants of the Skyhawk Army. Regarding Situ Qi, who almost caused the Skyhawk Army to be wiped out, Ziying did not blame him too much, but continued
Let him serve as the deputy commander of the Sky Eagle Army to assist him.
Situ Qi's behavior towards Ziying was naturally one of gratitude. When assisting Ziying, he had the mentality of making up for his mistakes and worked even harder.
Thanks to the hard work of Ziying and Situ Qi, the Sky Eagle Army soon began to take shape.
