The one kneeling at the very front of the Mo Army and bearing the blame was no one else but the County Head, Shao Yu.
Seeing the situation, Tang Yin ordered the entire army to halt their advance, and then led a few clan leaders to urge them to move forward. He lowered his head to look at Shao Yu, and asked: "Who are you? Why are you kneeling here? "
Although Shao Yu had never seen him before, he had heard of some rumors. Adding to the fact that the many General of Feng Country s treated him like a group of stars praising the moon, he could already guess Tang Yin's identity.
Shao Yu knelt on the ground without moving, and said loudly: "Sinner Shao Yu, we are here specifically to wait for Feng King to apologize to Your Highness."
"Oh?" So this man was Shao Yu. Tang Yin looked at him from head to toe, his eyes curved into a smile, and asked: "Master Shao, what crime do you have?"
"This sinner was deceived by Shao Fang earlier to block His Highness's Master Wang. This is an unforgivable sin!" As he was speaking, Shao Yu kowtowed continuously, and laid his head on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
Strictly speaking, Li Sheng had died by his hands, and Tang Yin had even gone berserk and vowed to chop off Shao Yu's head, but the situation was different now. Shao Yu had taken the initiative to surrender, and even revealed a public apologetic attitude, if he were to kill, it would seem like Li Sheng was too petty, and would not be able to convince the public.
Tang Yin sat on the horse without moving for a long time, without saying a word. He lowered his head, his eyes shining brightly, and stared straight at the kneeling Shao Yu.
Not knowing how much time had passed, to the point where even Shao Yu felt that he definitely couldn't keep his head anymore. Right at this moment, Tang Yin suddenly pulled out his blade, and casually swung it downwards.
Plop! Shao Yu felt a bone-piercing cold sensation on his back, and it was as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out in that instant. His body went limp, collapsing onto the ground, and beads of perspiration the size of beans dripped from his face.
"It's fine to know your mistake. Since Lord Shao has sincerely pledged his allegiance, then I will write off everything that happened for my own brother. Not only will I not blame you, I will also heavily reward you." "Get up!" Tang Yin retracted his blade, and his cold expression was also replaced by a brilliant smile.
It was only until now that Shao Yu realised that Tang Yin's blade did not land on his body, but instead only managed to cut off the rope binding him. He secretly exclaimed that he was lucky. Cai Gui's method of teaching him to take the initiative to ask for forgiveness was really effective. He pulled himself together, and once again kneeled down and kowtowed. With a trembling voice, he said, "This humble subject ? Thank you, your Majesty, for not killing me! " After saying this, he kowtowed three times and then stood up shakily from the ground. At the same time, all of the Deputy General behind Shao Yu shouted loudly, "We welcome the Great King into the city!"
Shao Jun and Cai Gui walked out from the Mo Army crowd and arrived in front of Tang Yin. Shao Jun cupped his hands and greeted, "Feng King!"
Cai Gui then knelt down and bowed, saying respectfully: "This humble subject, Cai Gui, greets the King!"
Tang Yin just nodded his head slightly, he did not look at Cai Gui, but stared at him with his bright eyes.
Shao Jun felt a chill down his spine, and his body shivered. Tang Yin's vicious eyes did not seem to belong to a human, but more so to a beast. Shao Jun was so frightened that he was at a loss for what to do, he did not know how he offended Tang Yin, but he secretly looked left and right, only to see his comrade Cai Gui kneeling on the ground, while he himself stood up and saluted. Greetings, Feng King! "
Seeing that he was even kneeling down to pay his respects like Cai Gui, Tang Yin's gaze softened. With a smile on his face, he flipped down from the horse, and extended his hand to support Shao Jun, and laughed: Royal Brother Shao, you and I are both dukes bestowed by the Son of Heaven, why do you need to be so courteous?! Although he said that, he was actually very happy in his heart. Not only did he want Shao Jun to understand who was the master and assistant, he also wanted Shao Yu and the over two hundred thousand Mo Army s to understand that he was their true master, the person who held the power to kill them.
Tang Yin was not a saint.
After forcing Shao Jun to submit to him in front of everyone, he turned his head and looked at Cai Gui with a smile, nodding to himself. No wonder Cai Song had such high prestige in the Ning Country despite his mediocre abilities, it must be related to Cai Gui.
He didn't seem particularly happy as he casually said, "Cai Gui, you did well this time."
Cai Gui did not hesitate at all, and immediately kowtowed: Thank you, your majesty! It is all on the blessings of the King that this humble subject can accomplish anything. "
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed heartily at his words, he patted his shoulder and said: "Stand up!"
During the journey to the city with Tang Yin, Shao Yu was eager to show his loyalty. His mouth was like a string of cannons, constantly introducing the situation of the Fengyang and the entire county. Also, he mentioned Han Zhong and his 150,000 subordinates.
Tang Yin thought for a bit, then asked: "Are these one hundred and fifty thousand people unwilling to surrender?"
Shao Yu hurriedly said: "Some are willing to surrender, while some are stubborn and unyielding. This humble subject believes that as long as some time passes, I will definitely be able to persuade all of them to surrender."
"That's for the best." Tang Yin nodded and said: "This king does not want to kill the innocent. If Master Shao is able to persuade all of them to surrender, then bring these hundred and fifty thousand people under your command! "
Ouch! Hearing that, Shao Yu's eyes lit up. He thought that after he surrendered to the Feng Country, even if Tang Yin did not kill him, he would still reduce his power and influence. He never thought that Tang Yin would be willing to increase his troops. Tang Yin's order also allowed Shao Yu to be completely at ease. He knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, his voice trembling as he said, "Thank you for the King's trust in this humble subject.
Tang Yin waved his hand with a smile, and said: "I've said it before, since Master Shao is willing to give up darkness, you are one of us, there is no need to be so formal and polite."
"Yes, yes, yes!" This humble subject will remember your teachings! " Shao Yu nodded his head.
Logically speaking, Shao Jun was the new King Mo conferred by the Son of Heaven, he was Shao Yu's new master, but Shao Yu completely ignored him, and just stood around Tang Yin, trying to curry favor with him.
Shao Jun did not mind this at all, and in fact, he did not think there was anything wrong with Shao Yu's actions. Seeing Shao Yu surrounding Tang Yin and flattering him nonstop, Shao Jun felt happy on the side, very happy that he had another person from the same sect supporting Tang Yin. He was no longer alone, and even if he was scolded by another person as a traitor, Shao Yu would come to share with him.0
Xishan County could be guarded by the heavens, but there was an army of more than three hundred thousand that had surrendered to Feng Army of less than a hundred thousand people. If one did not look at the process and were to merely look at the results, it could be said to be a 'miracle'.
Tang Yin was willing to hand over the one hundred and fifty thousand Mo Army s that he had captured to Shao Yu for him to handle. It was not a brain-dead idea, but a thought made in his head, which he could not bring up for now.
After the Feng Army led by Tang Yin entered the Fengyang City, they temporarily stationed themselves there and rested for the time being.
After not even two days, victory news came from behind. The Feilong Army that Zuo Shuang was commanding had finally launched an all-out assault after surrounding the Yangchuan for two months, and the battle was exceptionally intense, as it was a direct confrontation of tit for tat. After two consecutive days and two nights of fighting, the Feilong Army finally opened a breach and successfully entered the city. Even after the city was destroyed, they were still unwilling to surrender. The main general, Li Rong, led the remaining members of the clan and fought against the great majority of the forces in the city, but in the end, because of the great disparity in fighting strength, they were slowly swallowed up by the Feng Army one by one.
And after an entire day of chaotic battles within the city, with Li Rong as the leader, all of their Mo Army s were annihilated, and even Li Rong himself had died in the midst of the chaotic army. Although the Feng Army had won this battle, it was still a tragic victory. With two hundred thousand people fighting in this battle, more than half of the troops had died, and there were even five legions that had been entirely wiped out.
Including the Xishan County that had just turned the tables, the Feng Army had already occupied a total of three whole counties, namely Dongjiang, Peng Feng and Western Mountain.
At the same time that Tang Yin reported the recognition of his Feilong Army, he also ordered Zuo Shuang to lead the entire resistance force that cleared out the two counties, Peng Feng and the Dongjiang, to completely stabilize the situation there.
Because Dongjiang and Peng Feng's local army had long been completely wiped out by the Feng Army, the remaining fish that escaped the net were all gone. Even if Feilong Army suffered heavy losses during the Yangchuan battle, it was still enough to easily complete the mission.
Not long after the victory news of the battle of Yangchuan arrived, information on Pingyuan Army and Huwei Army was transmitted over. Before Huwei Army even arrived, the Mo Army that had heard the news withdrew, and the Pingyuan Army that had been trapped for many days was finally released.
Having consecutively taken down three counties of Mo Country, Tang Yin's morale was at its peak. After receiving the letters from the two armies, he immediately returned to the two armies and continued to head south, attacking the Gold Stone City as well as the central county.
Good things come in pairs. Just when Tang Yin was about to head south from the Xishan County, the Ning Country once again spread quickly. The battle of the Sanshui Army and the Heavenly Eagle Army was abnormally smooth in the eight counties of Ning Nan City.
How could Tang Yin not be happy when they were fighting on both fronts? With regards to him going south, he had even more no qualms about it. His target was Mo Country.
Currently, the Directly Subordinate Army under Tang Yin's command wasn't even a hundred thousand, but according to the intelligence reports of Sky Eye and Earth Web, the Anqiu County wasn't a lot either.
The Anqiu was located at the border of Mo Yu, but it was not the place where the Mo Country s sent their troops. The supply line for the Mo Army also did not pass through the Anqiu, but if one took over the Anqiu, the Feng Army could directly pose a threat to the Sishui.
Sishui County was the base of operations for Mo Country s, and a large number of new recruits, fodder, and supplies were all stored up in the Sishui s. was also the springboard for the Mo Army s supply lines that went deeper in, and if Sishui was threatened, it was equivalent to five hundred thousand Central Army s that went deeper in, being threatened.
Tang Yin did not plan to save Yu Country, but he would not give up the opportunity to pressure them, which was also the main reason why he chose to attack Anqiu.
