Mao'an was kicked hard on his knees and fell to the ground involuntarily. He struggled to get up. The bodyguards around him rushed up and pressed him to the ground.
"Tang Yin, as a minister, you commit crimes and raise troops to rebel. You don't have to be proud now. In the end, you will die!" Although mao'an was pressed on the ground, his mouth was not idle and scolded.
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed and said, "yes, I'm a minister, but I'm a wind minister, not a Peng minister. I've never admitted that Zhong Tian is the king. What's the meaning of committing the following crimes and raising troops to rebel? I'm fighting against the usurper! It's you, Mao an, who helped the king to do evil and died without regret. I still don't know how to repent. What's the use of me to keep you!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, drank and asked, "where is the knife and axe hand?"
"Yes!" With the promise, two men with devil's head machetes came near from the outside and bowed to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said, "push Mao an out and kill him!"
"Yes!" The two swordsmen simply promised and dragged mao'an out. Mao an had long expected that his last name would be hard to protect. At this time, he didn't want to live. He roared at Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, I'll go first. On the huangquan Road, I'll wait for you, ha ha... It's hateful that Geng Qiang didn't listen to my idea, otherwise you can't capture Jicheng..."
Seeing that Mao an was dragged to the door of the big tent by two swordsmen and axes, one pulled his hair, and the other raised the ghost knife to cut it down. Qiu Zhen hurried to the door of the tent and said, "wait a minute!" With that, he quickly went back to the account and said to Tang Yin: "my Lord, this Mao an is good at strategy and managing the army. It's better to stay and take it for his own use..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yinmeng's handsome case, with his eyes wide open, interrupted: "this man is extremely hateful. Don't say he is loyal to Zhong Tian. Even if he is willing to take refuge in me, I won't stay!"
"My lord..." Qiu Zhen frowned and wanted to persuade him to see him, but Tang Yin tilted his head, stopped looking at him and shouted to the swordsman outside the tent, "kill! What are you waiting for?"
"Yes!" The swordsman with the knife and axe looked at Qiu Zhen and Tang Yin. He didn't dare to delay any more. He quickly raised the ghost knife, aimed it at Mao an's neck and cut it down fiercely.
Puff!
As the light of the knife flashed, Mao an's head fell to the ground, the wheels were far away, and the blood gushed out, like a red fountain.
Seeing Mao an's head fall to the ground, Tang Yin's anger still hasn't subsided, and asked Guyue, "can Mao an's family be in the city?"
"Yes, my Lord!" The ancient Yue nodded.
"Execute them all and leave none!" Tang Yin's tone was as cold as ice.
"I see!" Guyue arched hand collar.
Later, Tang Yin turned his eyes to Lu Qingfeng, who looked earthy.
As a military general, Lu Qingfeng was not afraid of death, but his heart trembled and his face was ugly. Mao'an's decapitated body is at the door of the big tent. It is absolutely deceptive to say that there is no sense of fear in his heart. He looked at Tang Yin, took a deep breath, and took the initiative to say, "Lord Tang, put me to death!"
Tang Yin chuckled and askew her head and asked, "I heard your Lingwu is good?"
"Not as good as Lord Tang!"
"Oh? How do you know?"
"Lord Tang and I have already fought in the city!"
"Oh! It's you!" Until this time, Tang Yin found out that Lu Qingfeng was the Peng general who fought with him in the city.
As the brothers under his command said, this man's Lingwu is really good. He said faintly: "Zhong Tian is a traitor to his subjects and thieves. He kills the king and usurps the throne. His heart is detestable and he can be killed. I cherish your spiritual and martial cultivation. If you are willing to join me, you will not cure your crime, but also seal your official position. If you are stubborn, you can see that Mao an is a warning. You can decide where to go!"
Lu Qingfeng and Mao an are Zhong Tian's confidants, but Tang Yin's attitude towards them is quite different. When Mao an was executed, he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even listen to Qiu's truth advice. For Lu Qingfeng, even if no one came to advise him, he also had the intention of recruiting. From this, it can be seen that Tang Yin valued martial arts rather than literature from his bones.
After listening to Tang Yin's words, Lu Qingfeng felt it, but he couldn't do it if he turned his back on Zhong Tian and turned to Tang Yin. He arched his hands and said: "I thank Lord Tang for his love, but I don't serve the two masters. I hope Lord Tang can give me a happy next time. I'd appreciate it if Lord Tang doesn't involve my family!"
"What if I let you go?" Tang Yin looked at him directly.
"I'll go back to Yancheng and apologize to you." The implication is that even if Tang Yin releases him, he will still go back and work for Zhong Tian.
Alas! Tang Yin sighed secretly. This man can really be called a loyal and righteous man, but it's a pity that he is different from himself. He was silent for a moment and looked up at the others in the tent. Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue and others were also staring at him. Tang Yin put such a talented Mao an to death. Everyone wants to see how to deal with Lu Qingfeng.
After repeated thinking, Tang Yin raised her hand, paused in the air for a moment, then waved down fiercely and said, "kill!"
People like Lu Qingfeng must be put to death since they can't take it for their own use.
With Tang Yin's order, the hatchet entered the account, dragged Lu Qingfeng out of the account, raised the knife and cut off Lu Qingfeng's head.
Tang Yin said to Guyue without expression: "Lu Qingfeng's family can't stay, kill them all!"
Gu Yue was stunned. Although Tang Yin didn't promise Lu Qingfeng to leave his family just now, he has shown his intention of cherishing talent. Why should he execute his family?
Seeing his puzzled face, Tang Yin youyou said, "if you cut grass, you have to uproot!" Now that you have killed, you must kill to the end and eliminate potential threats that may be harmful to you in the future. On the contrary, Tang Yin is not cruel. He is always cruel.
"My subordinates understand!" The ancient Yue bowed and saluted.
After the army directly under Tang Yin captured the city of Ji, Tang Yin did not kill the city, but he would carry out large-scale killing of the soldiers in the city. Especially for the generals and officials, he would not only execute all the soldiers, but also exterminate the family. The corpses on the Dharma field were piled up, the blood flowed into a river, and only the heads were piled into small mountains.
Tang Yin's ferocious means played a role in killing chickens and monkeys to a certain extent.
The villages and towns around Jicheng do not need Tang Yin to raise troops to attack. Their officials have taken the initiative to surrender to Tang Yin and promised to abandon Zhong Tian and continue to be loyal to gale. The people below have greatly changed their attitude towards the wind army because they have not been harassed and killed by the wind army. Even if they can't be called support, they don't have the previous deep sense of prevention.
The directly subordinate army rested in Jicheng for a whole day. Then Tang Yin ordered to continue to go south and enter Baoqing County, directly taking the county city of Lehu county and Xibai city.
When the army directly under commander Tang Yin was close to Xibai City, the other two armies, the plain army and Chifeng army, also made smooth progress, inserted into Xibai city from the East and west sides, and surrounded Xibai city with the army directly under Tang Yin.
The main force of the Tianyuan army entered Lehu county and fought with great momentum. All the way south, it was about to siege the West hundred cities. On the other side, the 100000 Sanshui army led by Liang Qi and Shangguan yuanrang was far from so smooth. It was not because it was blocked by the enemy, but because the road in Duji was too difficult to go.
In the vast desert, even with horses and camels, it is difficult to walk, not to mention the march of 100000 people. The journey is hard, and all the soldiers are exhausted.
On the second day after entering the desert, heatstroke taxis appeared one after another. At first, only a dozen or more fell ill. But a few days later, the number of sick taxis began to increase in large quantities. Originally, the materials in the army were heavy enough. Now we have to bring these many patients and double the burden.
What's more, who didn't expect this situation when he came here? There was a shortage of drugs in the army, and the sick soldiers could not be treated. Many people became seriously ill from minor diseases, and finally died alive in the army.
Because the desert is hot, the bodies cannot be preserved for a long time, so they can only be buried in the desert. At first, the bodies can be buried neatly and marked, but later, with more and more dead soldiers, they can't be buried at all.
In addition, the quicksand hidden in the desert is also one of the biggest threats to the army. On the surface, there is sand on the ground, but as soon as people go up, they will fall into it. It's just that others don't pull. If they come forward to rescue, they will fall into it and die.
The hardships of marching in the desert were beyond imagination. Liang Qi, who was born in a noble and high position, showed his personal side at this time. He let his carriage out for the sick soldiers, and even his war horse out for transporting luggage. Like ordinary soldiers below, he walked forward.
How can a general who can share weal and woe with his soldiers not be loved by his soldiers. Liang Qi's move not only moved the officers and soldiers, but also produced a strong cohesion, which made the Sanshui army still stay in such a difficult and dangerous environment, and the morale was high.
After ten days of asceticism in the desert, 100000 soldiers and soldiers of the three naval forces came out of the desert and approached the junction of Duji, Feng and Ning. At this time, the number of people in the Sanshui army was reduced to more than 3000. It can almost be called a corpse thrown all the way.
The junction of the Three Kingdoms is a barren mountain. If you want to go to Tongmen from here, it is not far, but you have to cross the continuous mountains in front of you. There is no way to go, so you can only open the road by yourself. At this time, Shangguan yuanrang suggested to Liang Qi that the whole army should be stationed and rest, and make a good adjustment before marching. After all, the soldiers below are too tired.
But Liang Qi shook his head to express his opposition. The army is very fast and can't be delayed. What the soldiers fear most in the process of marching is to rest halfway, resulting in momentum exhaustion. They must work hard and reach their destination.
After listening to Liang Qi's words, Shangguan yuan smiled bitterly. His army has just stepped out of the desert and has to enter the poor mountains and rivers. Even if it can finally reach Tongmen smoothly, it will become a tired division. How can we attack the city?
