Tang Yin pondered for a moment, nodded his head, and said: "We have successfully ambushed and killed our way into the enemy city. The first thing we must do is to control the city gate, this is common knowledge, even Yuan Zui was at fault!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yong's heart that was in his throat finally dropped, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief. He said seriously: "Even though General Yuan Shu has been through the battlefield for a long time, he is inexperienced in besieging cities, and was unable to control the city gates in time, so it is not his fault as well."
The more he spoke up for Shangguan Yuan, the less grievances Tang Yin had in his heart. Finally, he sighed, he turned to look, and saw that the tray on the table was filled with arrows covered with blood.
If it was pulled out then the barb on the arrow could bring down a large piece of flesh. He had to cut off the arrow first and leave only the arrow. Then he would cut the flesh on the arrow before he could take out the arrow.
Tang Yin counted carefully, there were eighteen arrows on the tray, his gaze slowly becoming deeper and deeper, his fists also subconsciously clenching. At that moment, Shangguan Yuan, who was lying on the bed, trembled and let out a hoarse groan.
Hearing that, Tang Yin's body trembled, and he immediately regained his senses. He rushed to the side of the bed, bent down, and looked at Shangguan Yuan. "A month?"
Shangguan Yuan's eyelids twitched, and after a long while, she slowly opened his eyes. She was looking at Tang Yin, but his eyes did not focus. He asked intermittent: "Yes … King? "
Tang Yin knew that Shangguan Yuan must have lost a lot of blood and could no longer see. He forced a smile and pretended to be relaxed as he asked, "It's me! "Yuanyu, how do you feel now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty has …" "Water …" Just as Shangguan Yuan finished his sentence, Bai Yong immediately poured a cup of water and brought it to Shangguan Yuanyu's lips. The latter drank the whole cup of water as if he hadn't drunk water in a few days, and then licked her dry lips, exhaling comfortably.
Seeing that Shangguan Yuan had calmed down a lot after drinking water, Tang Yin became a little more relaxed, and said: "Master Yuan, after a few days when your injuries have stabilized, I will immediately send someone to send you back to the country to recuperate."
Shangguan Yuan frowned and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I'm not returning home …"
Tang Yin said: "But there are too few famous doctors on the side of the Hedong, you can only get a perfect treatment when you return to the capital."
"Haha …" He said seriously: "This small wound is nothing to me, not to mention that I will not die, even if I do die, I will stay behind, and watch the King put down her Hedong, create a great achievement, and create a great wind and a golden age for me …"
Hearing Shangguan Yuan's words, Tang Yin was moved. He nodded his head heavily, at the same time, he patted the back of Shangguan Yuanyu's hand and said: "Alright, Yuanyang, you stay behind and fight alongside me. If you want to create a prosperous era, I cannot leave you."
"Cough, cough …" Shangguan Yuan was very happy, his face blushed unnaturally, and he began to cough violently. Tang Yin was shocked, he caressed Shangguan Yuanyang's chest and said hurriedly: "Yuanyang, your injuries are still severe, you need to rest more."
"Since I joined the army, I, Shangguan Yuan, have never been defeated. Liang Qi is the one who harmed me this time … "Cough, cough …" At this time, with Tang Yin here, Shangguan Yuan finally found someone to complain about, and immediately reprimanded Liang Qi. But he was only halfway through his sentence, his eyes rolled back as he passed out.
Tang Yin had never learned medicine before, but he knew a little about medicine. Seeing that Bai Yong was so scared that he wanted to go and find a military doctor, he waved his hand to stop him, shook his head and said: "Yuanzhi has just fainted, it's nothing, there's no need to call a military doctor."
"Ah, yes!" Bai Yong heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head, and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Tang Yin sat on the side of the bed, quietly watching Shangguan Yuan let go. Only when the red flush on his face faded and he returned to his original pale white did Tang Yin stand up and signal to the people around him to temporarily leave. After leaving Shangguan Yuanyu's room, Tang Yin faced the sky and took a deep breath.
Just at this time, a few General of Feng Country s led by Liang Qi ran over. When they were close to Tang Yin, Liang Qi and the others knelt down on one knee, interfered and saluted, and said: "This general greets the King!"
Tang Yin lowered his head and looked at Liang Qi and the others. He did not say anything, nor did he signal them to stand up.
Liang Qi was not an idiot, he naturally knew that Tang Yin was definitely blaming him for letting Shangguan Yuan get injured. He was in no hurry to explain, since Tang Yin didn't want him to get up, he should just kneel there!
After an unknown amount of time, the crowd could not help but start to wonder if the King did not see them. At this time, Tang Yin slowly opened his mouth and said: "Just now, I saw Yuanyu."
Liang Qi knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and replied: "Yes!"
Tang Yin continued: "Yuanyu said, this time his injuries, were caused by you."
Although he had already expected Shangguan Yuan to make such a misunderstanding, when Tang Yin said it out loud, Liang Qi's body trembled and his head drooped even lower. The other generals from the Sanshui Army felt a chill on their backs as the temperature dropped below zero.
Without waiting for Liang Qi to speak, Tang Yin answered: "I think Yuanyu misunderstood General Liang Qi." While speaking, he bent down and personally helped Liang Qi up. At the same time, he waved his hands at the other generals, "Generals, please rise!"
"Thank you, King!" Hearing this, all the generals felt relieved of a great burden and stood up shakily.
Never would he have thought that not only did Tang Yin not denounce him for this matter, he even said that it was a misunderstanding. Liang Qi was extremely touched, and after being helped up by Tang Yin, he took two steps back, and bowed deeply towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said in a serious tone: "General Liang Qi is my most trusted general, and I rely on him the most. How could General Liang Qi intentionally harm me? How could General Liang Qi do such a thing? "
His words were like a blow to the tiger, also like a warning to Liang Qi. How could the latter not hear it?
Narrowing his eyes, he looked deeply at Liang Qi. Tang Yin laughed out loud with his back facing him, and praised: "Liang Qi, you have fought beautifully, even you and the concubine will remember the first merit, and all of the soldiers below will reward you according to the meritorious service."
"Thank you, your majesty!" Liang Qi, Bai Yong and the others kneeled down once again, bowing to thank him.
Tang Yin nodded his head, after everyone got up, he asked: "Liang Qi, I heard that you went out to handle the issue of the soldiers killing the citizens in the city, what happened?"
Liang Qi immediately cupped his hands together and replied: "Great King, the situation has been controlled. In addition, I have brought over a few generals who had secretly ordered the massacre of the city, please punish them!" While speaking, Liang Qi turned around and waved behind him. Not long later, seven generals of Sanshui Army were pushed over while being tied up.
Tang Yin recognized some of these officers, some of them were unfamiliar, but their ranks were not low. They were either deputy generals or regiment commanders, and were all core generals of Sanshui Army. At this time, these captured Generals s were even more intimate to Tang Yin than the time they saw Liang Qi. If he got angry, he could really execute all of them according to military law. But Tang Yin was different, the reason why his Feng Army dared to massacre a city and do whatever he wanted without restraint within the city was because this was a tradition, or perhaps a vile practice, left behind by Tang Yin while he was in charge of his army.
The few generals who were tied up rushed forward and knelt in front of Tang Yin without needing to be pushed. They kowtowed as if they were on the ground, and started babbling at the same time, "My King, please be merciful!" As they spoke, their snot and tears flowed as they said, "We would rather die on the battlefield in front of the two armies than under martial law …"
Seeing that, Tang Yin immediately frowned, their current pitiful appearance did not have the dignity and spirit a general should have. He raised his leg and kicked the commander closest to him to the ground, then shouted: "All of you stand up, crying and wailing, what does it look like?!"
Hearing Tang Yin's words, the seven Sanshui Army Generals all became obedient. They all stood up quickly and lined up orderly, with their heads lowered, not daring to even breathe.
Tang Yin looked at Liang Qi and asked: "Liang Qi, these are all your subordinates, what do you plan to do with them?"
Liang Qi said in a serious tone: "Before you received my order, you secretly ordered us to slaughter the citizens of the city. We disobey the order and kill them according to the law!"
"It's too heavy." Tang Yin held his chin, looked at the seven Sanshui Army Generals whose faces were pale white, and shook his head: "Our army has only just started fighting the enemy, and we have to kill so many generals, which is not good for the morale of our army."
"Oh …" Liang Qi pondered for a moment, and said: "On account of the fact that they have repeatedly rendered meritorious service, death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be forgiven, and everyone will be punished with a hundred military sticks!"
Whoosh! His words caused the seven generals to heave a sigh of relief. The taste of a hundred military sticks was not pleasant, but it was still thousands of times better than losing one's head. Without waiting for them to thank him, Tang Yin shook his head again, and said: "It's too heavy." Pausing for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid that 100 military staffs will injure my muscles and bones, making it difficult for me to return to the battlefield for a short period of time. In the current war, what's the difference between killing them and dealing with them?"
This time, Liang Qi started to frown. What Tang Yin said against beheading these generals was reasonable, he could understand this as well, but if the penalty of 100 military sticks was too high, then what was he to do? This time, Liang Qi did not express his opinion, and asked: "Then what does your majesty think?"
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "Everyone has twenty military whips, another month of punishment is enough for the Salary."
Liang Qi almost laughed out loud. Twenty military whips and a monthly salary, was this still called a punishment? If he were to rule the army like this, would he have a military, legal, and military discipline in the future? He nodded and said, "This lowly general understands." As he was speaking, he said to the military chief, "Each of you will be punished by fifty military sticks and a salary of six months. No mistake shall be made!
