When Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen arrived at the entrance of South City City, it was already filled with a sea of people. Everyone was holding their toes in their hands and stretching their necks forward. They were fighting to be the first to look forward, and as they discussed, they were even pointing at each other from time to time.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen looked at each other, then quickly walked forward. Only after using a lot of strength did they finally squeeze from the crowd to the front. Tang Yin raised his head and saw that there was a board in front of him with the words written on it. The contents were the results of the investigation into the Laifu Tea House case and the punishment, and above that, there were bloody heads that were hung high up on the wall behind the board.
What's there to look at? See how his own Feng Army is shamed? Tang Yin secretly shook his head and exited the crowd, inadvertently hearing the discussions around him.
"There's no need to investigate this matter at all. Even a fool would know that it's a 'good thing' done by the Feng Army!"
"That's true!" However, he did not expect the Feng King to be one of the killers. The Feng King is ruthless and merciless, of course the Feng Army is also incomparably cruel and cruel. "
Tang Yin frowned, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
"Don't say that. Think about it, princes and monarchs of different kingdoms, which one of them hasn't made a mistake? However, after making a mistake, not a single person would be able to break their own hair and take the lead! Maybe Feng King is brutal, but at least she still has her conscience and magnanimity. I think that Feng King is much stronger than those dukes who talk about righteousness and benevolence. "
"That's right!" If our King had done the same, she would have become a bald man long ago! "
"Ha ha!" These words caused the crowd to burst into laughter. If it was a normal situation, they would not dare to make such a presumptuous comment on the Sovereign, but now that the Mo Army had been chased away and the Myriad Directions City was already under the jurisdiction of the Feng Army, the commoners in the city would no longer have any worries. The grievances they had accumulated in the past would be vented out in one go.
"As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. Our lives are lowly and we have offended the officials. Even if we don't die, we will at least lose a layer of skin. Not to mention provoking the King. Feng King being willing to accept punishment this time is truly quite rare! "
"You're right!" If our King can also be like the Feng King, I'm afraid that even I am willing to join the army, how can our Mo Country be beaten so badly? "
"If the Feng Army occupies over ten thousand cubes and is not withdrawn, the Myriad Directions City might become the town of the Feng Country. At that time, our great king will become the Feng King."
"It's not bad to exchange it for a Feng King!"
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you say that. Don't forget, you're all Mo people ?"
The citizens talked amongst themselves, all sorts of things, some detested Tang Yin, and some praised him, some leaned towards the Feng Country, and there were even those who were loyal to it. Although these civilians could not represent the Mo Clan, they could embody a large portion of the Mo Clan's thoughts.
Tang Yin listened and pondered, and finally understood the reason why Qiu Zhen pulled him here. Qiu Zhen wanted to let himself understand that what he had done was right. Logically speaking, for one country to invade another country's territory, the hostile voice should have been one-sided, but amongst the people, there was actually a voice praising Tang Yin, and they were all leaning towards Feng Country. This was something extremely rare, and also caused Tang Yin's confidence to instantly soar by many times, making him feel ashamed and lost, replacing it was a strong sense of excitement.
He turned his head to look at Qiu Zhen, who smiled at him and nodded slightly. Tang Yin smiled in his heart, and did not say anything else. He pulled Qiu Zhen and left the group.
On the way back to the Mayor Palace, Qiu Zhen said: "Mo Country and ours are different. Our grievances with the Ning Country are too deep, and it has already reached the point where it cannot be resolved even if you are dead or alive. Although we are wary of each other, there has never been a large-scale war. The citizens do not have any hatred towards each other, so it has become much easier to win the hearts of the people, and it is precisely because of this that our army has to be careful in our actions in the Mo Country, in order to avoid harming the innocent as much as possible, in order to avoid a real situation. "
Tang Yin nodded and said: "That's right! "You're right!"
Qiu Zhen laughed: "Your Majesty, if you understand this point, I am relieved." After pausing for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and said: "Great King, it's said that Anqiu County bandits run rampant, and have become a huge disaster. When the Great King sends his troops south, he can conveniently send troops to eliminate the bandits' nest, and eradicate the scourge for the people of Anqiu!"
Tang Yin said: "Mn, I had the same intentions a long time ago. After all, bandits are bandits, and are not worth mentioning. When our army attacks the Shangwan from the south, with a walk, you can flatten all the bandits' nests along the way. "
Qiu Zhen cupped his hands and said: "Great King Ming!"
Following the end of the incident at the Forsaken Tea House, the rest of the Feng Army in the Ten Thousand Directions City also came to an end. Tang Yin left two Chiliarch soldiers to guard the place, while he himself led the main force of Directly Subordinate Army to continue their journey south, directly towards the Provincial Capital of the Anqiu County, in preparation to engage in a decisive battle with the local army of the Anqiu.
Although Tang Yin had his subordinates prepare the carriage, Qiu Zhen immediately changed his mind after seeing the situation of the people. He decided to ride his horse and head out of the city.
Now, when he had led Feng Army out of the city, the situation was already very different. The two sides of the main street were filled with commoners, and everyone was looking forward to see what the Feng King Tang Yin really looked like. From this difference, it could be seen that the fear that the people of Mo Country had towards their Feng Army had greatly decreased. Of course, one wouldn't hear any cheering from the citizens of Mo Country, but at the same time, one wouldn't hear any cursing either. To the aggressor, this was a huge change.
Shangwan was a type of Provincial Capital, and was also where the local army of Anqiu concentrated. Therefore, to Feng Army, the victor of the battle of Shangwan was the key deciding whether or not they could fully occupy the Anqiu.
This battle, with Tang Yin as the leader, was something that he had to win. On the road to the Shangwan, Tang Yin ordered Qiu Zhen to send out envoys, to rush to the Shangwan first to deliver the Capitulation s, and persuade County Head Gao Guan to surrender.
Of course, Tang Yin did not have much hope for Gao Guan to surrender, a high ranking official like County Head would not be able to persuade him with one or two pieces of Capitulation. In the end, they were right. The envoys that Qiu Zhen sent did not come back, and they never came out of Shangwan City.
Even though he had expected this would happen, Tang Yin was still furious, he ordered the entire army to prepare for battle, and as long as they reached the Shangwan, they would immediately attack.
When Feng Army arrived at the boundary between the two counties, the spies of the Sky Eye and Earth Web reported in succession.
Along the way, Directly Subordinate Army had already destroyed three bandit nests in a row. Although the Anqiu County bandits were valiant and good at fighting, there was still a huge difference in strength compared to the Directly Subordinate Army. Just the strength of both sides was not equal, and although Directly Subordinate Army was not enough to flatten the other party's ground, it was indeed not a big effort at all.0
Tang Yin did not take this Baitou Army bandit's nest seriously. During the march, he had only casually asked the generals beside him, who was willing to lead the troops to eliminate the bandit groups. After Tang Yin asked this question, there was no one left to talk to.
None of the General of Feng Country s were willing to engage in this kind of time-wasting, unflattering, and unrewarding work of exterminating bandits. Hearing the King's question, all of them lowered their heads, afraid that their names would appear in the King's eyes.
Seeing that, Tang Yin was no longer courteous, and directly called out: "Ye Tang, Gao Yu, listen!"
Sigh! Seeing the King calling out their names, Ye Tang and Gao Yu sighed, they looked at each other and thought that they were unlucky, but they still respectfully urged their horses to come out, and cupped their hands: "I am!"
"The two of you will lead 10,000 soldiers to flatten the nest of the Baitou Army bandits and return to report to the camp before nightfall!" Tang Yin said as he raised his head.
"This lowly general obeys." Ye Tang and Gao Yu were indeed weak, but luckily, they were still a distance away from Shangwan, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to make it in time for the battle of Shangwan after annihilating the bandits.
As for Ye Tang, Gao Yu, under the guidance of the Sky Eye and the Earth Web scouts, led the ten thousand Feng Army s towards the base of the Baitou Army.
The terrain was not considered dangerous, but of course, in the entire Anqiu County, one could not find a place that was too dangerous. After all, this place was a plain, and it was difficult to find a hill even if one wanted to. As far as the eye could see, it was all barren and dry land. Even if it was a mountain, it was mostly stone and soil mountains that didn't have any grass growing at all.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu anxiously rushed back to the army camp. When they were heading to the Baitou Army stronghold, the two kept on urging the soldiers below to march at full speed, so as to not waste time.
When they were about to reach the Baitou Army stronghold, they saw a large group of people dressed in random clothing standing on the hillside in front of them.
There were roughly three or four thousand people there, and their clothes were tattered and messy. Some of them were cloth pants, and some were even wearing worn-out armor. However, there was an unusual agreement that all of them had white scarves wrapped around their heads.
The flag was not much more complete than their clothes. It was covered with holes of various sizes, but a large white word could be seen embroidered in the center.
Without even needing to ask, one could tell that these were certainly Baitou Army s that had been discovered by Sky Eye and the Earth Web.
After Ye Tang and Gao Yu observed, they felt that it was funny and annoying. There were only so many bandits, not even enough people to defend the camp, and they dared to come out to fight.
The two of them reined in their war horses, covered the horse with their hands, and looked ahead carefully. Then, Ye Tang and Gao Yu laughed out loud. In the middle of the mountain, the opponents were either a formation or nothing. They were just standing loosely together. In the face of such an unpopular opponent, how could Ye, or the second year contestant care about them?
