Seeing Li You on the ground, Jiang Fan shook the Purplish Gold Bow in his hand out of habit and muttered: "It's a pity that it's not as fast as the King's blade." In the past, Jiang Fan had always thought that his own moves and golden arrows were fast enough, but after fighting with Tang Yin, he knew that there was always someone stronger.

After killing Li You, Jiang Fan stood in front of the corpse for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the 10 or so guards who were hiding at the side fighting spirit, and said expressionlessly: "Now, it's your turn!"

Just as Jiang Fan had said, on the battlefield, he would never show mercy, regardless if the opponent was a soldier or a general.

The great battle of Qingyuan could truly be said to be a great battle that had made Zi Ying famous throughout the world. Heavenly Eagle Army s, with a low price, broke through the firm defenses of cities and the Qingyuan s, which had fifty thousand soldiers guarding them, had not only annihilated the entire garrison, even the head of Hedong County, Li You, had died in the midst of battle.

However, Zi Ying used the People of Ning Country as a suspect, which caused the deaths of 50,000 soldiers by mistake. This also caused him to have a name that he would never be able to erase for his entire life, to the point that in the future, everyone at the Ning Country would call Zi Ying a butcher, and pass him down as a blood devouring demon.

This was the so-called 'one man becomes ten thousand bones!'

The battle of Qingyuan was of great significance to the Feng Army, and the great victory of Heavenly Eagle Army caused the Feng Army to occupy the center and center of the Hedong Region. It also allowed the Feng Army to grasp, attack or defend the initiative.

After seizing the Qingyuan City, Zi Ying immediately sent people to post a notice of Anmin, telling the citizens of the city to be at ease. The Feng Army would not kill innocents, and they would not take money for themselves.

All of the Generals understood what Anmin was doing, but after releasing all of the captured Ning Army, the other generals all raised objections, feeling that if they were to let all of the captured Ning Army go, in the future, they would become enemies with their own side. It was equivalent to sending a tiger back to the mountain, their side would suffer harm and should all be put to death to prevent future troubles.

Zi Ying did not think so, and said to the generals meaningfully: "If we kill all these prisoners today, then the Ning Army will be united by a common enemy, and everyone will fall out with our army. Today, I have released these prisoners, and the Ning Army will no longer have the determination to die on the battlefield. Killing the enemy is the best plan, and attacking the heart! "

Hearing Zi Ying's words, all the generals looked at each other without saying a word. In the end, it was Zhan Hu who spoke with a heavy tone, "The Ning army of twenty thousand that have been captured has been secretly released by General Zi Ying. Once the King finds out about this and blames them, I'm afraid … It's not good for General Zi Ying! "

Zi Ying laughed, and cupped his hands towards the side: "The King is wise and powerful, intelligent and unparalleled, I think the King will be able to feel my intentions." Although Zi Ying said that, he was actually not too sure. Tang Yin's methods towards his enemies had always been tough, and killing was his main goal. Now that he had let go of the twenty thousand captives, he did not know whether Tang Yin would blame him or not! The reason he had praised Tang Yin first was also to leave a path for himself to retreat to.

On the second day after the Heavenly Eagle Army was seized, the one hundred thousand Directly Subordinate Army that Tang Yin personally led arrived as well.

After knowing that Tang Yin had arrived at Qingyuan City, Zi Ying was very conscious. He immediately transferred the Heavenly Eagle Army that was guarding the city to the camp outside the city, and gave the Qingyuan City to the Directly Subordinate Army to be guarded.

He did it mainly to avoid suspicion. Right now, the Ning army had not arrived yet, so there was no way that the Qingyuan City would be able to hold an army of two hundred thousand. If the Heavenly Eagle Army did not withdraw, then the Directly Subordinate Army would have to camp outside the city, and with Tang Yin in the city, if the Heavenly Eagle Army suddenly changed, wouldn't Tang Yin be in danger? Of course, Zi Ying would definitely not do anything to kill the Sovereign King, but he had to avoid this suspicion.

Tang Yin had clearly heard about Zi Ying using his Qingyuan through his Sky Eye and the Earth Web, he was extremely appreciative of Zi Ying's ingenuity and the strange way he use troops. When Zi Ying came out of the city to welcome him, Tang Yin immediately dismounted and walked over, personally lifting him up, then holding his hand, they walked into the city together.

As a sovereign, for Tang Yin to do such an intimate action was the greatest affirmation he could give; for Zi Ying, this was already the greatest honor. Zi Ying was naturally exceptionally touched and moved, and felt both respect and admiration for Tang Yin, as well as an even greater sense of steadfastness.

Upon entering the city, what surprised Tang Yin the most was that the Qingyuan City was not as cold, desolate and lifeless as he had imagined. It was just the opposite, where people could be seen passing by from time to time on the streets.

Qingyuan City did not have the solemn atmosphere of a changed owner, and this was all because of Zi Ying. Although Heavenly Eagle Army was a brutal and barbaric battle, the military discipline was very strict, and ever since they had entered the city, Heavenly Eagle Army had never killed a single People of Ning Country, nor had they robbed a single piece of personal belongings, only normally, the army would only stand guard on top of the city walls, and they rarely entered the city.

Zi Ying invited Tang Yin and the others into the County Head Palace, and after Tang Yin sat down, Zi Ying reported the details of the battle to Tang Yin. The number of casualties in the Heavenly Eagle Army was around ten thousand, with the majority of them being injured. The number of people that died in the Ning Army numbered thirty thousand, and another twenty thousand were captured.

Hearing this, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zi Ying in confusion. The latter understood the meaning of Tang Yin's question, and quickly recounted his theory to Tang Yin. Hearing that, Tang Yin did not say anything, with his smile still on his face, he nodded and said: "Continue."

Seeing that Tang Yin did not ask further about this matter, Zi Ying secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and reported all the materials and rations he had seized from the Qingyuan City one by one. There were a lot of supplies and rations stored in the city, but in the end, not even three days had passed when the Qingyuan City took over, and all of the supplies and rations that were hoarded in the city fell into the hands of the Feng Army.

This was what made Tang Yin the most excited. Now that the Feng Country Treasury was empty, and with two counties suffering from the disaster, with the three to four million silver as a supplement, it would more or less be able to relieve the pressure on the treasury. According to Tang Yin's wishes, he would transport all the gold, silver, and silk from the Qingyuan back to the Feng Country.

But Zi Ying repeatedly shook his head, indicating that it was not right, and said: "Great King, we are fighting so that we can reclaim the Hedong Region, making it my territory, and not just to rob."

Tang Yin nodded his head, and asked: "What's the difference?"

Zi Ying cupped his hands and laughed, then said: "If we were to loot and take down a city, our army would naturally not care about anything and return back to the country with the gold and silver treasures. But if we want to occupy the city for a long time, we would need to collect the hearts of the people and the hearts of the local People of Ning Country. At that time, we can only occupy an empty Hedong Region. If we use the silver from the Provincial Capital as a reward to win over the hearts of people, as long as the people are willing to stay and become my citizens, the King will use this silver as a reward to reward the people in charge. As a result, the number of people who choose to stay will greatly increase. "

Hearing Zi Ying's words, Tang Yin fell into deep thought. He couldn't say that Zi Ying's words were unreasonable, but seeing the silver that he had gotten into his hands that couldn't be put into his own pocket, Tang Yin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Realizing that Tang Yin was silent, Zi Ying hurriedly continued, "If three or four million silver were to be sent back to the country, it would only alleviate the urgent situation. But if it was given to the Hedong, it would be able to create a long-term solution, one that is light and one that is heavy.

Zi Ying's words meant that he had forced Tang Yin into a corner, and the only thing he could do was follow his instructions. Tang Yin was startled for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, and said to Zi Ying: "Alright, Zi Ying, we will do as you say, Qingyuan's silver is still left in the Qingyuan City!"

"Brilliant King!" Zi Ying stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed towards Tang Yin.

Tang Yin said to Gu Yue and Wu Ying who were at the side: "Send a message to Yuanji right now, get Yuanji to assign a official who can assume the position of County Head to serve in Qingyuan!"

Since he had already occupied the Qingyuan of Hedong County City, Tang Yin decided to let Shangguan Yuanji assign an outstanding minister to come here to help him stabilize the rear.

Without waiting for Gu Yue and Wu Ying to agree, Zi Ying immediately cupped her hands and said: "Great King, I am afraid it is inappropriate for us to let the countrymen assume the first position in Hedong County!"

Not appropriate? Tang Yin was amused, he was enraged, and asked: "Zi Ying, what's wrong with it this time?"

"Great King, more than 90% of the citizens in Hedong Region are people who live in peace, and only the 'Ning' is most clear about what the 'Ning' is thinking, like or loathe ', with me as the leader of the County Head. Firstly, I am not aware of the local situation, nor of the customs, and secondly, it would cause the People of Ning Country to reject us, so if I choose a' Ning 'as the leader of the County Head, these situations would not occur, and would be beneficial to the stability of the Hedong Region."

"Ugh …" Tang Yin muttered to himself, he turned and looked at Gu Yue and Wu Ying, and asked: "Gu Yue, Xiao Ying, what do you think of the two of you?"

Gu Yue frowned and said: "What General Zi Ying said does make sense, but we should not believe that there are more people here. If we allow the Ning people to take over County Head, I'm afraid that it will not be beneficial for us!"

This was exactly what Tang Yin was worried about. He turned his head around and looked at Zi Ying, waiting for his reply without any expression.

Zi Ying laughed and said: "You can't believe me even if I am a human being. County Head can be a human being, but County Commandant and Vice County Head will definitely be us! The County Commandant holds the military power, and the Vice County Head holds the actual power of government. Letting the Ning Man take the position of County Head is just for the sake of stabilizing the People of Ning Country, if he truly has bad intentions, the King will immediately eliminate him and choose the sage of the Ning people to replace him.
