Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Qi in disbelief. He had just said that they would be punished with twenty military whips, and Salary s for a month were changed to fifty military sticks in front of him.

After Liang Qi passed down the orders, he saw that the seven generals had been dragged out to carry out their execution, so he bowed deeply towards Tang Yin and said sternly: "Great King, if it is impossible within the army, then we will not be able to make it to the army. If we do not severely punish the seven of them today, all of our soldiers will ignore the military rules and regulations, and everyone will not follow the orders.

Tang Yin was rendered speechless by Liang Qi, his old face flushed red. He cleared his throat and said: "What General Liang Qi has said is reasonable, we shall do as you say!"

Along with Tang Yin's arrival and Liang Qi's severe punishment, the massacre of people at Sanshui Army was finally stopped. However, in this short period of time, the number of commoners that were slaughtered by Feng City was no less than several thousand, but Feng Army did find a good excuse to exterminate the mob. It seemed that it was natural for them to exterminate all the commoners that had been massacred into the ranks of the mob.

Following that, Liang Qi made the people of the city write a notice to Anmin, posting it on various important places in the city, to let the people of the city feel at ease, as long as they did not become enemies with Feng Army, Feng Army would never offend them and so on. To a certain extent, Feng Army's massacre had the effect of slaughtering chickens and honoring monkeys. Even though the normal people within the city hated Feng Army, they were also afraid of them, and the incidents of their sneak attacks on one Feng Army were indeed much less.

Tang Yin did not stay too long at Feng City. After visiting Shangguan Yuanyu's injuries and understanding the situation at the Sanshui Army, he returned to the Directly Subordinate Army with Brother Shangguan and Cheng Jin. Currently, the Eagle Army was advancing westward with the force of a hot knife through butter. They had taken five towns in a row, and were approaching the center of the Qingyuan City. It was also not easy for the Eagle Army to follow from behind. Under these circumstances, how could Tang Yin dare to leave the Directly Subordinate Army for too long?

When Tang Yin returned to the Directly Subordinate Army Army, he immediately received news from Le Tian and Ai Jia. The five hundred thousand strong army that the Ning Army had reinforcements to the north had withdrawn back into the Ningdu Liangzhou, and also brought out another three hundred thousand soldiers from the Liangzhou to form a huge army of five hundred thousand people.

He didn't expect that the army of Ning would be so fast, especially the reinforcements from the north. It was inconceivable that the two hundred thousand people would return to the capital so quickly. Tang Yin asked: "Who are the commanders of the Ning Jun's other two Chief General s?"

Ai Jia laughed and said, "Your Majesty and Ming Xiaotian do have some connections."

"Oh?" What sort of relationship did he have with Ning? Tang Yin looked at Ai Jia curiously, waiting for her to continue.

Ai Jia asked: "The King still remembers that when our army was fighting with the Ning Army, we caught a member of the General of Ning Country called Ming Xuan."

Tang Yin would definitely remember this matter. He blinked his eyes and asked: "Could it be that Ming Xuan is this Ming Xiaotian's son?"

Ai Jia nodded in praise, "The King is wise."

Tang Yin laughed, and said: "So it's my old enemy! Then what about Wei Zheng? Who is he? "

Le Tian said: "It is said that Wei Zheng is the King Ning's most trusted general. Although he comes from a noble family, he has been familiar with military strategy since young. Furthermore, he has an innate divine strength and is an outstanding martial arts expert, which is rare among the general of the Ning Country. The King cannot let her guard down! "

Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, lowered his head, and looked at the Hedong map. After a long while, he muttered: "Ning Army's reinforcements have too many people, and also have two Chief General s as commanders, the future battles will be extremely difficult. During the time that Ning Army is rushing to the Hedong, our Army must take over Qingyuan City, and take the initiative." As he said till here, he looked towards Le Tian and Ai Jia, and said: "The two of you immediately send your subordinates to send a message to Zi Ying, telling him to head to the Qingyuan at the fastest speed possible. Within three days, no matter what, you must take over the Qingyuan!"

"Yes!" "Great King!" Le Tian and Ai Jia cupped their hands together as they received the order, and turned to leave.

Tang Yin told the two of them to pass down their orders to Zi Ying, it was reasonable that the current Hedong was controlled by the Ning Country, but in reality, it was just a territory of the Ning Country. Tang Yin was also afraid that the small group of Ning Army would intercept and kill their messengers halfway, so the safety of the Sky Eye and the Earth Web would be even higher.

Qingyuan was the Provincial Capital, and was located in the very center of the Hedong Region. It could be said to be the central hub of the Hedong, a place where one had to pass through to the north, south, east and west. Of course, Tang Yin hoped that when the five hundred thousand people from Ning Country arrived, they would be able to rely on their Qingyuan as a base camp to fight against the Ning Army.

Tang Yin's orders were successfully transmitted to Zi Ying through his Sky Eye and Earth Web. After seeing Tang Yin's orders, Zi Ying faintly took a deep breath, and felt the burden on his shoulders become a lot heavier.

Ning Country sent out a great army of five hundred thousand to reinforce Hedong, which held an absolute advantage in numbers. If their side could not create an advantage in other aspects, it would be difficult for them to contend against the Ning Army. 's order was not wrong, it was necessary to take down the Qingyuan before the reinforcements arrived. However, Zi Ying was not confident about this battle.

The city was big, it was well-stocked, its walls were tall, and its defenses were sturdy. Furthermore, there were more than thirty thousand Ning Army soldiers stationed inside, and although they did not have many people, thirty thousand people relied on the perfect defense system of the city's Qingyuan.

Seeing Zi Ying frown and remain silent, Zhan Hu chuckled on the side, and said: "General Zi Ying, since the King has given the order, ordering you and I to take down the Qingyuan within three days, my army will immediately march!"

This was Zi Ying's order, he did not know anything about the terrain here. He was afraid that the army would accidentally ambush the enemy, so he took the strategy of advancing step by step, the army walking and stopping, every time he walked a distance, Zi Ying would send a large number of scouts to scout around five miles away. After confirming that there were no enemies around, he ordered the army to continue advancing.

Zhan Hu had long been impatient for this kind of army, now that Tang Yin had sent the order to take over the Qingyuan within three days, Zhan Hu was naturally happy, he muttered in his heart, how was Zi Ying going to delay this time?!

Zi Ying looked at Zhan Hu but did not pay any attention to him. After pondering for a while, he asked the and Earth Web scout who came with the army: "Have you explored the paths ahead?"

The rank of these two scouts were not low, they were both at the commander level. Hearing Zi Ying's question, the two of them looked at each other, cupped their hands, and said: "It has not been confirmed."

Zi Ying frowned, and said: "If this general was not mistaken, I would have already informed the two generals about this matter."

The two of them nodded. "The general has indeed said so, but the sky is now filled with fog and it is extremely difficult to scout. Please forgive me."

"Oh?" Zi Ying was startled for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the big tent to take a look, it was true, the outside was filled with mist, and his gaze could only reach a distance of about 30 metres. If he looked further, he would not be able to see anything clearly.

The Hedong Region was warm and rainy, and there was not much difference in temperature between the four seasons of the year. It was suitable for the production of food, but it was not suitable for war. The roads of the Hedong Region were rarely free of mud, and it rained almost every day.

After he finished reading, Zi Ying shook his head and sighed before returning back to the tent. Zhan Hu, Jiang Fan and the rest of the generals were watching him anxiously, waiting for his order to march. The King allowed his Heavenly Eagle Army to take over in three days. With his current marching speed, forget about not being able to beat his Qingyuan in three days, he probably wouldn't even be able to reach the Qingyuan!

Zi Ying held his breath for a while, then said softly: "The sky is covered with fog, it's not suitable to march."

After hearing that, the generals were discouraged. Zhan Hu could not hold back and said loudly: "General Zi Ying, these few days since he entered the Hedong, I have been fogging up every day. Then when will we be able to reach the Qingyuan? General Zi Ying, don't forget, the King's order has arrived. "

This was what made it difficult for Zi Ying. He lowered his head and picked up the letter on the table. After looking at it for a while, he slammed the letter onto the table, looked at the generals, and said: "Summon my general. The entire army is up, heading towards Qingyuan!"

"Yes!" "General!"

The generals were in high spirits as they intervened to receive their orders. They turned around and walked out of the tent in unison. Each of them led their subordinates to pack up and prepare to march.

It was extremely difficult to travel in the fog. The sky was dark and torches were needed. Moreover, the visibility was extremely poor. If there were soldiers walking at a slightly slower pace, they might not be able to see the people in front of them. To march in this kind of weather, it was also the most likely to fall behind on a large scale.

As the Eagle Army advanced, Zi Ying's heart had already reached his throat, but Zhan Hu was exceptionally excited. Walking forward, he said to Jiang Fan who was riding a horse beside him: "Wait for the Qingyuan, General Jiang Fan don't fight with me, I'll be the first one to lead."

Even if Zhan Hu did not ride a horse, he was not much shorter than Jiang Fan. With his height, he was not suited to ride a horse. Jiang Fan smiled, nodded and replied: "I am willing to help General Zhan Hu."

Jiang Fan was low-profile and indifferent, and would rarely take the initiative to argue with others. Zhan Hu liked people like this the most, so working with Jiang Fan was also very comfortable for him. Of course, the matter of Jiang Fan shooting his arrow at him back then had long been forgotten.

After advancing for approximately five kilometers, Heavenly Eagle Army arrived at a depression in the ground. The ground here was high on both sides, with the middle being low, and the official road was right in the middle. Because of the low terrain, rain would gather on the roads every time it rained, causing the roads to be abnormally muddy even on a sunny day. It was almost impossible to see the ground with a single step.
