The advisor Zhang Zhe nodded his head, thinking that Qiu Zhen's words were reasonable. It was just that he did not have enough talent in Tianyuan Army, so it would be awkward for him to say what he wanted to say. Zong Yuan secretly shook his head. Although Qiu Zhen was calm and smart, he was too straightforward and did not have any skills in speaking. Although it was good words, if one did not say it at the right time and place, it would become bad words.
Qiu Zhen demoted the other Generals s one time and also ridiculed him a little. When he sneaked into the Xibai City, the reason why he was able to grab hold of the opportunity to break through the city was not because of his abilities, but was because of luck. Tang Yin forcefully suppressed the displeasure in his heart, revealed a dry smile, and said: "Master Qiu … Master Qiu... "
After he said it twice, Master Qiu did not know how to respond. He paused for a while, before forcing out a sentence from between his teeth, "Master Qiu is right!"
Qiu Zhen glanced at Tang Yin and sighed inwardly. He had known Tang Yin for a long time, and had been together with him almost every day. How could he not be familiar with's personality? Qiu Zhen said in a serious tone: "When we take down the Xibai City, it is not so simple as to eliminate all of Zhong Tian's henchmen. We still have to consider how to take care of the city and how we can continuously transport troops, rations and supplies to our troops."
Tang Yin said expressionlessly: "This will be handled by Yuanji."
"Master Shangguan, you are already busy with the affairs of the three counties. If you were to take care of the Lehu County, you might not be able to do everything. If we can deal with it now, we should do our best to handle it ourselves. For example, to win over people's hearts! " Qiu Zhen said with a serious expression.
Tang Yin blinked his eyes, and did not reply.
Qiu Zhen continued: "Right now, my army has already entered the city, and the battle has already stopped, but with such a large Xibai City, there isn't a single civilian on the streets. This shows how deeply the citizens are afraid of our army, Master should think of a way to dispel the fear the citizens have towards our army, and it's only because of this, that Lehu County can stay under Master's command for a long period of time, otherwise, there will be trouble sooner or later."
"Oh …" Tang Yin was furious, but he had to admit that Qiu Zhen's words were reasonable. He asked, "Master Qiu, in your opinion, how can we remove the fear the citizens have towards our army?"
"This is not a one-day affair!" Qiu Zhen said: Master, right now you should set up a celebration dinner in County Head Palace, and invite all famous families and commoners in the city. We should treat them with respect, eliminate the enmity these people have towards our army, and rope them over to our side, and let them correct our reputation, it would be much easier than us giving ourselves a proper name.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and said repeatedly: "Master Qiu's words are reasonable!" Then he looked around again and asked, "What do you think?"
The generals were secretly angry at Qiu Zhen for pouring cold water on them and did not say a word.
did not hesitate anymore and said: "Master Qiu, you handle this matter first. Tonight, I will hold a feast at the County Head Palace."
"Yes!" "My Lord!"
"If there is anything that you do not understand about Xibai City, you can ask Mr. Yu Jun!" Tang Yin added. After all, Yu Jun was an important advisor to Geng Qiang, and he was more familiar with the situation inside the city.
Just as he finished speaking, a guard ran in from outside with quick steps. He rushed to Tang Yin's side and interfered with the greeting, saying: "Master, there's a person called Yu Jun outside who wishes to see you!"
Heh! If you really said Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would arrive. Just as he mentioned Yu Jun, he came. Tang Yin laughed leisurely, nodded and said: "Of course!" In fact, it was just as Qiu Zhen had said, Tang Yin being able to grab the opportunity to break down the city was definitely due to luck. If not for Yu Jun's help, breaking through the city would not be an easy task.
Very quickly, Yu Jun walked into the hall with big strides under the guidance of the guards.
Seeing him, Tang Yin stood up and chuckled: "Mr. Yu Jun …"
When he just called out Yu Jun's name, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with Yu Jun. The latter's face was filled with anger, his eyebrows were raised straight, and his eyes were staring widely. After entering the hall, he did not greet Tang Yin, nor did he speak.
Tang Yin was curious, he asked: "Mr. Yu Jun, what happened?"
"Tang Yin, let me ask you, why did you kill Du Qing? Du Qing destroyed the city for you, what fault did you have, why did you put him to death? " Yu Jun asked angrily.
Tang Yin also found out about the matter of Du Qing getting accidentally killed by a random arrow from the Tianyuan Army. Although he felt that it was a pity, he did not take it to heart. After all, Du Qing was a general. If he died, he would die, so there was no need for him to pursue this matter any further.
He sighed lightly and said: "I think Mr. Yu Jun has misunderstood me. I did not mean to harm General Du Qing.
"But he was actually shot to death by Tianyuan Army!" Yu Jun clenched his teeth and said.
Tang Yin patiently explained: "At that time when the battlefield was in chaos, the soldiers below also could not identify whether he was an enemy or friend, it was pure accidental murder."
Yu Jun took a deep breath and asked: Then, what does Master plan to do with the culprit?
How to deal with the murderer? Tang Yin never thought of investigating this matter further. He smiled slightly and said: "Since what has happened has already happened, even if I have to execute those soldiers who mistakenly killed General Du Qing, I cannot let General Du Qing come back from the dead, so be it!"
"Forget it?" Hearing that, Yu Jun was furious, and said angrily: "What's wrong? So if the people from your Tianyuan Army are people, then aren't the others people people? Moreover, General Du Qing has already promised to submit to you and yet you treat him like this. How can you live up to General Du Qing's heroic spirit? " He pointed his trembling finger at Tang Yin and gritted his teeth: "Tang Yin, you despicable scumbag, at that time I really shouldn't have listened to your flowery words, pulling General Du Qing over to your side, was I the one who caused Du Qing's death …"
Hearing that, not only Tang Yin's face became gloomy, all the surrounding generals' expressions changed, and a few of them stepped forward, raising their hands and holding onto their swords, they glared at Yu Jun.
A cold light flashed across Tang Yin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He chuckled and said: "Mr. Yu Jun is too serious.
Following his voice, two soldiers quickly walked in from outside. They stood at Yu Jun's left and right side and reached out their hands: "Mr. Yu Jun, please!"
Du Qing died a unclear death, how could Yu Jun let this go? He did not have any intentions of leaving, he continued to point at Tang Yin's nose and scolded: "Little one! "Such a vile character!"
Tang Yin frowned, and shook his head at the two guards. The two guards did not stay polite any longer and forcefully held onto Yu Jun's arm, and dragged him out of the hall.
Even when Yu Jun was dragged out of the hall, he could still hear his intermittent curses.
"Damn it!" Shangguan Yuanbiao coldly snorted, and said: "Master, this Yu Jun is lawless, if he dares to insult Master, we must not let him go!"
"You can't!" Qiu Zhen came out to stop them, and said seriously: "Yu Jun has done meritorious services to my great army, if he was to be put to death because of this matter, it would be hard to convince the masses, and he would also bring about a disloyal reputation for Master."
Shangguan Yuanbiao scratched his head and asked: "Then what do we do?"
That's right, then what should he do? Tang Yin asked the same question in his heart. If he left Yu Jun behind, he would spread the word that he had caused Du Qing's death. After thinking for a moment, he squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Mo who was in the middle of the group of generals, and said: "Jiang Mo!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Yu Jun's entire family will move away from the Xibai City, and then they will disappear from this world. There's no such person in the world, Jiang Mo, do you understand what I have to do?" Tang Yin asked slowly.
Jiang Mo was startled at first, but after that, killing intent surfaced in his eyes, nodding, he said: "I will arrange everything!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin said: "Don't leak any information!"
"Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do!" After Jiang Mo finished speaking, he bowed deeply towards Tang Yin and quickly walked out of the hall.
Although Tang Yin did not make his words clear, everyone knew what he meant. He was telling the hidden arrow to move away, and wait outside the city before killing his entire family. His methods were indeed vicious, but it was also the best way to seal one's true population. Regarding this, Qiu Zhen did not express any dissent. Instead, he nodded his head, secretly praising Tang Yin for his quick reactions and quick actions.
Qiu Zhen was very clear in his heart, but for those who cared about little kindness and righteousness, it was difficult to achieve anything big. Tang Yin was precisely such a person.
In the end, neither of the two people who assisted Tang Yin in capturing Xibai City ended up well. One died in the midst of a chaotic battle while the other died under the assassination of an arrow. If Du Qing had been accidentally killed, then Yu Jun's death was completely his own fault.
He mistook Tang Yin for a righteous and benevolent person and also misjudged Tang Yin's standards.
That night, a banquet was held in the County Head Palace of Xibai City, welcoming the distinguished guest who had come to the city.
These famous invited clans and famous citizens had no choice but to come. When Tianyuan Army sent out invitations, they sent out large amounts of soldiers, as if they could rush into the residence and cut the corpse into pieces at any time if they did not accept the invitation.
Everyone thought that Tang Yin had no good wine or any good feast. When he came here, they were all almost determined to die.
However, when they reached the banquet at the County Head Mansion, everyone immediately felt a relaxed atmosphere. There was no killing intent from the swords drawn and arrows drawn, there were only lanterns and decorations, and the scenes of soldiers carrying wine and bringing food to the banquet.
Tang Yin was dressed in casual attire, and he welcomed all the guests with a smile on his face. No matter what he thought, he was extremely courteous on the surface, completely like a good man. He was like a different person from the Spirit Cultivator of Dark on the battlefield, who was wearing spirit armour and wielding a sickle.
