Qiu Zhen could not watch receive such a heavy punishment without doing anything. As a general, as the commander of an army, it was a great honor to die in front of the two armies.
He anxiously said: "Great King, General Zi Ying has been extremely loyal to Great King Wang Zhong. Ever since I pledged my allegiance to him, I have led my Heavenly Eagle Army into wars, with countless meritorious military exploits. I hope Great King will consider General Zi Ying's meritorious service and do this ?"
Tang Yin interrupted him expressionlessly. "This king only allowed him to go home because of his military exploits. Otherwise, how could I allow him to live?"
Seeing that Tang Yin was angry, no matter how he was advised, it was useless. Qiu Zhen wisely chose to shut up and did not speak anymore.
After Qiu Zhen left, Wu Ying quickly walked a few steps and arrived behind Tang Yin. Looking at his seemingly stiff back, she untied the clothes behind her back and draped it over Tang Yin's back.
Tang Yin stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Wu Ying.
Wu Ying's face slightly flushed, and said in a low voice: "The sky outside is cold."
Tang Yin nodded, but still pulled Wu Ying's cape and handed it back to her: "I'm not cold!" At this moment, he was so angry that he was about to combust. How could he still feel cold?
Wu Ying looked at his handsome and resolute face, and said gently: "Your majesty, you shouldn't have injured your body for the sake of a deceitful subject like Zi Ying."
Is Zi Ying considered a deceitful official? Even if Tang Yin wished to tear Zi Ying's corpse into pieces, in his heart, he did not think that Zi Ying was a deceiver.
Seeing Tang Yin not saying anything for a long time, Wu Ying continued: "Zi Ying is too excessive, insisting on killing those pitiful soldiers in front of the King, doesn't put the King in your eyes at all."
Maybe it was due to him being born, but Wu Ying protected him well from the bottom of her bones. This was also a common disease of the traditional aristocrats. In the eyes of the traditional nobles, a servant's fault was tantamount to one's fault. A servant's punishment was tantamount to a slap in the face, and it was a great humiliation to oneself.
Tang Yin's mood had reached the extreme and he was not in the mood to listen to Wu Ying's blabbering. He sighed and said: "Xiao Ying, don't say anymore, and don't bring up Zi Ying again."
Fortunately, Wu Ying was not a woman who did not understand human emotions. She nodded and did not speak further.
The Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s who originally viewed military discipline as nothing, now understood the rules. Many people even recorded down military discipline into small booklets, and every day, they would take it out and read it a few times, in order to know what could be done and what could not be done by themselves.
As for Zi Ying and Cheng Jin, who were leading the Yan Ming military discipline, neither of them obtained any benefits. On the surface, Tang Yin wanted to reward the two with some gold and silver, but in reality, that was not the case. Cheng Jin's official rank dropped by one rank, from Middle General to Young General, and his Salary was directly detained for a whole year. As for Zi Ying, although his rank had not been lowered, the Salary s were not deducted, but the position of Heavenly Eagle Army Commander was abolished, and only the empty title of Chief General remained, the Heavenly Eagle Army Commander had been replaced by the Deputy General Situ Qi. If it were not for the generals tormenting Tang Yin, he would have been directly sent back home. In the end, Tang Yin agreed to keep him in the army for the time being, to be an idle person.
It was only at this time that the military discipline of Feng Army finally came to an end.
Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, Directly Subordinate Army, and Heavenly Eagle Army had all been replenished. Following that, Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army set off south, chasing after the remnants of Wei Zheng's tribe. Sanshui Army replaced Heavenly Eagle Army to head to Jiachang County, where they reinforced the Mo Army that was still fighting.
Following the descent of the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army, the forces of the Feng Army Camp plummeted, leaving behind only Directly Subordinate Army and Heavenly Eagle Army.
The commander-in-chief was pampered, the benefits were plentiful, the commander-in-chief was unpampered, and the entire army was unlucky. When replenishing their strength, Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army were the priority, followed by Directly Subordinate Army. Only at the end did they get the Heavenly Eagle Army.
In the battle of Zhang River, the loss of Heavenly Eagle Army was the greatest, but the amount of troops that were filled up was the least. Towards such an outcome, the newly appointed Heavenly Eagle Army Commander-in-Chief Situ Qi could only smile bitterly.
Situ Qi was originally Zi Ying's trusted subordinate, and it was Zi Ying who single-handedly promoted him to Deputy Commander. He and Tang Yin's relationship was not close, to say nothing of being close, even if he was dissatisfied with the separation of troops, he would still not dare to mention it.
After the Pingyuan Army and its departure, Tang Yin began to actively prepare to the west, preparing to attack the Shaoling County.
On this day, he inspected the camp and called Cheng Jin over.
While walking, he asked Cheng Jin who was beside him: "Cheng Jin?"
"Your subordinate is here." Cheng Jin bowed and replied.
"You aren't convinced by my punishment, are you?" Tang Yin asked indifferently with his hands behind his back.
"No ?." "No." Cheng Jin quickly replied: "This subordinate does not dare."
Tang Yin turned his head to look at him, and laughed, as he said depressingly: "Didn't you see that I let you kill yourself that day, was it not my fault? You really dare to die for me? "
Cheng Jin was startled, then said with a stern face: "Your Majesty has helped this subordinate find out what is good for me, and I have rebuilt your life with kindness. This subordinate's life is already yours, if Your Majesty wants it, this subordinate will definitely not complain."
"Hm!" "Well said." Tang Yin laughed and nodded. He changed the topic and asked, "On that day, you secretly decided to sentence those soldiers who violated the rules to death.2
Cheng Jin spoke the truth and replied: "This is the first, and the second. This subordinate is also afraid that the King will be angered to the extreme and kill General Zi Ying in anger."
Tang Yin sneered, and asked in reply: "Should I not have killed Zi Ying?"
Cheng Jin said in a low voice: "Although General Zi Ying is disrespectful to the King, he is still acting for the King and the entire army's sake. His loyalty is clear, and he is guilty enough."
Tang Yin first acknowledged it before his face darkened, and said: "Your words are too serious. You have to understand that the Dark Arrow is special. If you have a side tendency, then how can you achieve fairness, and not be impartial, then you will become a true person. Then, the Dark Arrow can no longer exist. "
Cheng Jin's body shook violently, and quickly bowed and said: "Yes! Subordinate will remember. "
"Accompany me to Heavenly Eagle Army's camp." Tang Yin's figure turned and headed towards the Heavenly Eagle Army encampment.
When Tang Yin, Cheng Jin and the others arrived at the camp of the Heavenly Eagle Army, the soldiers were doing formation drills. Tang Yin watched from the sidelines for a while, then nodded his head and walked towards the camp.
Inside the pavilion, Situ Qi and the few main generals of Heavenly Eagle Army were all there. Seeing that Tang Yin had arrived, they all stood up and greeted him.
Tang Yin waved his hand, signalling for everyone to rise, then sat on the commander's seat, looked around, did not see Zi Ying's figure, and just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly remembered that Zi Ying had already been removed from his position, and swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth. He raised his eyes to Situ Qi and said: "General Situ!"
"This lowly general is here!" Situ Qi immediately bowed and cupped his hands.
Tang Yin smiled and said: "This time, this king wants to let your Heavenly Eagle Army take the lead. What do you think?"
How could Situ Qi have any objections? Tang Yin was a king, he would do whatever he wanted. He replied, "I will obey."
Tang Yin leisurely said: "You should know, that in this battle, our army can only lose and not win, but, even if we have to lose, this duke still hopes to show off our might to the Shaoling County's Ning Army, so, if we have to win the first few battles, and even if we have to win by a huge margin, can you do it?"
Compared to Zi Ying, not only was there a heaven and earth difference in abilities, even his confidence and boldness were far inferior to Zi Ying's. He swallowed his saliva and carefully said, "This general ?" I will do my best. "
Hearing this reply, Tang Yin immediately frowned, if he could do it, he could, but if he could not, then he could not. He said expressionlessly: "Zi Ying is cunning and scheming, you have been by his side for a long time, you should at least learn a thing or two, this king has confidence in you, do you not have confidence in yourself?"
Situ Qi heard the reproach in Tang Yin's words, and immediately said: "I will lead the way, and we will win with the flag drawn!"
"Good!" This is what the commander of an army should say! " Tang Yin nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I will send Zhou Chang and Li Sheng, the two generals, to be your vanguards, to help you!"
Zhou Chang and Li Sheng were both newly selected generals, and each had their own unique set of knowledge.
"Thank you, my lord!" Situ Qi bowed deeply.
"Tomorrow morning, your division will set off first. This King will lead Directly Subordinate Army and receive you afterwards."
"Yes!" "Great King!"
"Oh, by the way, are there enough armaments for the Heavenly Eagle Army?" Tang Yin asked.
"I lost some during the war of Zhang River ?" Situ Qi did not dare to say it out loud. Instead, he beat around the bush and pushed it to the crossroads.
When Zi Ying was here, he would never speak of such rubbish, and Tang Yin did not want to hear such nonsense. Without waiting for Situ Qi to finish speaking, he slammed the table heavily and asked: "As a commander, do you not know anything about armaments? Do you need this king to investigate it for you? "
Situ Qi was so frightened that his body trembled, and he almost fell down. He was so scared that his face turned pale, and he anxiously said: "Foot, foot, foot! Reporting to Great King, Heavenly Eagle Army s are enough to cope with the need for battle! "
"Yes!" Tang Yin's expression softened a bit. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Since that's the case, then this king will not give you any equipment. After all, our army's equipment is not very plentiful, so we will need a large amount of logistical support to go to the south to fight."
"Yes, yes, yes!" This lowly general understands. " Situ Qi replied quickly.
That was why his attitude was very calm, and his words were natural. But Situ Qi was different, even though he was a Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Eagle Army, he had not met Tang Yin often, and had not spoken much, so he was clearly nervous and panicked.
Tang Yin felt even more uncomfortable. He stared at Situ Qi and could not help but ask: "General Situ, could it be that this king is so hateful like a ghost?"
