Counselor Zhang Zhe nodded, feeling that Qiu Zhen's words made sense and were exactly what he wanted to say. However, his qualifications in the Tianyuan Army were still relatively low and he was too embarrassed to speak out some things he wanted to say. Zong Yuan shook his head secretly, Qiu Zhen said.
He is calm and calm, and he is clever and smart, but he is too direct and has no skills in speaking. Although he is good at words, if he says them at the wrong time and place, they will turn into bad words.
Tang Yin couldn't laugh at this time. Qiu Zhen demoted the other generals and also made some innuendoes at him. He sneaked into Xibai City and was able to seize the opportunity to break the city not because of his ability, but because of luck.
It was just a coincidence. Tang Yin suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, smiled dryly, and said: "Master Qiu... Master Qiu..."
He said Master Qiu twice without thinking of what to say. After a pause, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "What Master Qiu said is absolutely true!"
Qiu Zhen glanced at Tang Yin and sighed secretly. He and Tang Yin had known each other for so long and were together almost every day. How could he not be familiar with his character? Just by looking at his appearance at this moment, one could tell that Tang Yin was angry. Qiu Zhen said seductively.
: "When we capture Xibai City, we are not done just by wiping out Zhong Tian's minions. We also need to consider how to manage the city well so that we can continuously deliver troops, food, wages, and supplies to our army."
Tang Yin said expressionlessly: "This matter will be handled by Yuanji."
"Sir Shangguan is already very busy in dealing with the affairs of the three counties. When it comes to dealing with Lehu County, I'm afraid I won't be able to do everything. If we can handle it now, we should try our best to handle it ourselves, such as winning people's hearts!
"Qiu Zhense said.
Tang Yin blinked and did not answer.
Qiu Zhen continued: "Now our army has entered the city and the fighting has stopped long ago. However, in the huge Western City, there is not a single person on the street. It can be seen that the people in the city are deeply afraid of our army. Your Excellency should find a way to eliminate the people's fear of our army."
The Tianyuan Army's fearful mentality, only in this way can Lehu County be able to maintain long-term peace and stability under the leadership of the Lord, otherwise, disaster will occur sooner or later."
"Oh..." Tang Yin was angry, but he had to admit that what Qiu Zhen said was reasonable. He asked: "Master Qiu, in your opinion, how can we eliminate the people's fear of our army?"
"This is not something that happens overnight!" Qiu Zhen said: "Your Excellency, you should now hold a celebration banquet in the county capital, invite the well-respected noble families and common people in the city, treat each other with courtesy, first eliminate these people's hostility towards our army, and win over them
It is much easier for them to come to our side and rectify our army's name than it is for our army to rectify our own name."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head and said repeatedly: "What Mr. Qiu said makes sense!" Then he looked around and asked: "What do you mean?"
All the generals secretly poured cold water on Qiu Zhen and did not say anything. However, all the counselors responded and praised Qiu Zhen for his good idea.
All the counselors in the audience supported it. Tang Yin no longer hesitated and said immediately: "Master Qiu, please take action on this matter. Tonight, I will host a banquet in the county capital!"
"Yes! Sir!"
"If you don't understand anything about Xibai City, you can ask Mr. Yu Jun for help!" Tang Yin added. After all, Yu Jun was once an important counselor around Geng Qiang and was relatively familiar with the situation in the city.
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard ran quickly from outside and approached Tang Yin. He stepped in to salute and said, "Sir, there is a man named Yu Jun outside the door asking to see you!"
Ha! You really mean Cao*, Cao* is here. He just mentioned Yu Jun, and he is here. Tang Yin smiled leisurely, nodded and said: "Please!" In fact, just as Qiu Zhen said, Tang Yin can catch him in the city.
The opportunity to break the city was indeed a fluke. Without Yu Jun's help, it would not have been easy to break the city.
Soon, Yu Jun strode into the hall under the guidance of the guards.
Seeing him, Tang Yin stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu Jun..."
He had just called Yu Jun's name, and suddenly he felt that something was not right about Yu Jun. The latter's face was full of anger, his eyebrows stood up, and his eyes were round. After entering the hall, he neither saluted nor spoke to Tang Yin.
Then he stood upright in the center of the hall and stared at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was very surprised and asked: "Mr. Yu Jun, what happened?"
"Tang Yin, let me ask you, why did you kill Du Qing? Why did Du Qing destroy the city for you? Why did you want to kill him?" Yu Jun asked angrily.
Tang Yin also knew that Du Qing was accidentally killed by the Tianyuan Army's random arrows. Although he felt it was a pity, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, Du Qing was a surrendered general, and he died when he died. There was no need to delve into this matter further.
Punish the soldiers below who fought bloody battles.
He sighed softly and said: "I think Mr. Yu Jun misunderstood. I did not mean to harm General Du Qing. On the contrary, I am very sad about his unfortunate death!"
"But he was shot alive by the Tianyuan Army!" Yu Jun gritted his teeth and said.
Tang Yin patiently explained: "The battlefield was chaotic at the time, and the soldiers below did not know clearly whether he was an enemy or a friend. It was purely a manslaughter."
Yu Jun took a deep breath and asked, "How are you going to deal with the murderer?"
How to deal with the murderer? Tang Yin never thought about investigating the matter in depth. He smiled slightly and said: "Now that it has happened, even if the soldiers who accidentally killed General Du Qing are executed, General Du Qing cannot be brought back to life. This matter
, forget it!”
"Forget it?" When Yu Jun heard this, he became furious and said angrily: "What? You Tianyuan Army members are only human beings, and the others are not human beings? What's more, General Du Qing has personally promised to submit to you, but you are like this
How can you be worthy of General Du Qing's heroic spirit when you treat him?" As he spoke, the corners of Yu Jun's eyes almost burst open. He pointed at Tang Yin with trembling fingers and gritted his teeth and said: "Tang Yin, you despicable villain, I really shouldn't have listened to you in the first place.
Your flattery persuaded General Du Qing to seek refuge with you, but it was I who killed Du Qing..."
After hearing this, Tang Yin's face darkened, and the expressions of the surrounding generals also changed drastically. Several of them stepped forward, raised their hands, held their swords, and glared at Jun angrily.
A cold light flashed in Tang Yin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said with a smile: "Mr. Yu Jun's words are serious. Someone, come and send Mr. Yu Jun back home!"
Following his words, two soldiers walked in quickly from outside, stood on Yu Jun's left and right, stretched out their hands and said: "Mr. Yu Jun, please!"
Du Qing's death was unclear. Yu Jun was not willing to let it go. He had no intention of leaving. He continued to point at Tang Yin's nose and cursed: "Villain! Villain -"
Tang Yin frowned and shook his head at the two guards. The two guards were no longer polite and took Yu Jun's arm and dragged him out of the hall.
Until Yu Jun was pulled out of the hall, he could still be heard yelling and cursing intermittently.
"Damn it!" Shangguan Yuan Biao shouted coldly and said, "Sir, this Yu Jun is lawless and dares to insult you. You must not let him go like this!"
"No!" Qiu Zhen came out to stop him and said sternly: "Yu Jun contributed greatly to our army's destruction of the city. If we execute him just because of this, it will be difficult to convince the public and will give you a reputation of being ruthless and unjust."
Shangguan Yuanbiao scratched his hair and asked, "What should we do?"
Yes, what should we do? Tang Yin was asking the same question in his mind. If Yu Jun was left behind, he would spread the word that he had killed Du Qing. If he killed him directly, it would be true. After thinking for a moment,
He narrowed his eyes, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mo among the generals, and said, "Jiang Mo!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Yu Jun's family will move away from Xibaicheng, and then disappear. There will be no such person in the world. Jiang Mo, do you understand what to do?" Tang Yin asked slowly.
Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, then murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, he nodded and said, "My subordinates will make arrangements for this!"
"Yeah!" Tang Yin said, "Don't let the news out!"
"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do!" After Jiang Mo finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Tang Yin and walked out of the hall quickly.
Although Tang Yin didn't make it clear, everyone knew what he meant. He was letting Yu Jun force Yu Jun to move away with a secret arrow, wait until outside the city, and then kill his whole family to silence him. The method was not unkind, but it was true.
This is the best way to seal one's identity. Qiu Zhen showed no objection to this, but nodded his head and secretly praised Tang Yin for his quick response and sharp style.
Qiu Zhen knew very well that anyone who cared about small benevolence and righteousness would never achieve great things. Those who could achieve great success must be ruthless heroes. Tang Yin was exactly such a person.
Du Qing and Yu Jun, the two greatest heroes who assisted Tang Yin in capturing Xibai City, neither of them ended up well in the end. One died among the rebels on the battlefield, and the other died in an assassination attempt. If Du Qing
Qing's death was a manslaughter, and Yu Jun's death was entirely his own fault.
He mistakenly regarded Tang Yin as a benevolent and righteous person, and also misjudged Tang Yin's magnanimity.
In the evening of that day, a banquet was held in the county capital of Xibai City to entertain the invited dignitaries of the city.
These invited noble families and reputable common people had no choice but to come. When the Tianyuan Army invited them, they sent a large number of soldiers there, as if they could rush into the house at any time if they did not accept the invitation.
, as if cutting it into pieces with random blades.
People thought that Tang Yin had no good wine and no good banquets. When they came, they were almost all determined to die.
But when they arrived at the banquet at the county capital, everyone immediately felt the relaxed atmosphere. There was no murderous atmosphere like swords being unsheathed and arrows being cocked. Instead, there were only scenes of lanterns and colorful decorations and soldiers walking back and forth at the banquet, serving wine and food.
Tang Yin was dressed in casual clothes and greeted every guest who came with a smile. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, at least he was polite on the surface and looked like a good gentleman, just like the spirit-clad man on the battlefield.
The frightening dark spiritual cultivator in armor and holding a scythe is completely different from the other two.
