Chapter 718
Hearing Tang Yin say that he would bring gold and silver as an apology, Qiu Zhen rolled his eyes and kindly reminded: "King, as far as the minister knows, General Ziying doesn't seem to value property."
After him did this, Tang Yin thought about it carefully and felt that his words made sense, Ziying was indeed not too greedy for things like gold, silver and jewelry, and he usually distributed most of the money he rewarded him to the soldiers under his command. He asked, "Qiu Zhen, then what do you think I should bring?"
Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "Just now, the king broke his oath, and the minister thinks that the king is more sincere than bringing ten thousand taels of gold. ”
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned his heart sideways and said, "Okay! ”
On the same day, Tang Yin only took more than 100 entourages, hurried his horse, and returned to the camp in Hexi.
The current Hexi camp is empty, and there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left, among whom the wounded soldiers are the most. After a day and a night's journey, it was noon the next day when Tang Yin returned to the camp in Hexi.
Entering the camp, he didn't rest for a moment, didn't even change his dusty clothes, and went directly to Ziying's camp.
Because Tang Yin came too quickly, the soldiers below didn't have time to report, so Ziying was very surprised by Tang Yin's sudden appearance.
Seeing Ziying sitting behind the table and looking at herself dumbfounded, Tang Yin's slightly tired handsome face showed a bright smile, stepped forward, looked down, and said with a smile: "Ziying, you are reading the military book again!"
Ziying finally came back to her senses, hurriedly stood up, and knelt on the ground to greet her.
Tang Yin stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Ziying, how are you living in the camp in Hexi?" After a pause, he said again: "Everyone has gone on the expedition, leaving you alone, it's very lonely, right?!"
Ziying was so smart, after recovering from her composure, she pondered a little, and guessed Tang Yin's intention to suddenly return to the camp in Hexi. He was expressionless, and replied solemnly: "No! The minister followed the king to fight everywhere, and it was rare to have time to rest, and the minister lived a very comfortable life during this time." ”
"Ah, that's it!hehe......" Tang Yin laughed awkwardly. He rubbed his hands, sat cross-legged in front of the table, was silent for a moment, took the initiative to cut to the point, and said, "You know all about the defeat of the Heavenly Eagle Army in Xiaoling County, right?"
Ziying's body was shocked, her expression did not change, but her face was blue and ugly. He nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, my lord...... Slightly heard. ”
"Smack!"
Tang Yin slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Of the 60,000 troops, only 10,000 were left by Situ Qi, and 50,000 soldiers were lost to Xiaoling County, Ziying, how did you choose the deputy commander?"
Ziying lowered her head, paused for a long time and said, "General Situ is a good general who assists, not a handsome person who supports the overall situation alone!"
Tang Yin nodded again and again, and said, "Yes! You should have told me about this earlier!"
Will you listen? Ziying smiled bitterly in his heart, but his clever choice was silent.
Seeing this, Tang Yin changed his words and said, "Of course, I don't mean to blame you. He tapped his fingers on the table for a while, and then said: "There are only more than 10,000 people left in the Sky Eagle Army, and they have already existed in name only, but I still hope that the Sky Eagle Army can survive, but it needs to be reorganized, Ziying, who do you say is the most suitable person to form the Sky Eagle Army?"
His meaning is obvious, that is, let Ziying Mao recommend herself. Ziyingxiang didn't understand what Tang Yin meant, and Zhengse replied: "Former general Xiao Muqing is the most suitable. General Xiao, as the commander of the Plains Army, is very good at governing the army, and if General Xiao reorganizes the Sky Eagle Army, the king can put one hundred and twenty hearts. ”
Tang Yin glanced at Ziying, and secretly said in his heart You are really going to pretend to be confused for me! He smiled and said, "Mu Qing can't do it! He wants to manage the entire army of the Plains Army, and his affairs are busy, where is there time to reorganize the Heavenly Eagle Army? Besides, now that Mu Qing is chasing the remnants of Wei Zheng, he is not in Hexi County!"
"Oh...... The lieutenant general Liang Qi ......"
This time, without waiting for Ziying to finish speaking, Tang Yin had already interrupted impatiently: "Liang Qi is not in Hexi County either. ”
"The left general Peng Haochu and the right general Gu Yue ......"
"They're not suitable. Tang Yin said patiently.
Ziying personally, Tang Yin opposed one, and finally Ziying couldn't help but be happy, and said: "That's all the people the minister can think of, but the king is not satisfied, it seems that the king already has a suitable candidate in his heart, right?"
Tang Yin didn't like Ziying's character of pretending to be crazy and stupid and trying her best to be sarcastic, but it was really not good for Fengjun to leave Ziying.
He took a deep breath, stared at Ziying with dark eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! ”
Ziying leaned back slightly, lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, why did the king come to ask the minister's opinion?"
Tang Yin didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said bluntly: "My candidate is you!Ziying, the Sky Eagle Army was originally formed by you, and now it is up to you to reorganize, how about it?"
Although he had already guessed Tang Yin's intentions, after hearing this, his body was still shocked.
Hearing the news that the Sky Eagle Army was almost wiped out in Xiaoling County, Ziying's heart was dripping blood, since he got the news yesterday, until now, he has not been sticky, he has not eaten, and after a day's work, the whole person has lost a lot of weight. For the fiasco of the Sky Eagle Army, he was more anxious than anyone else, more distressed than anyone else, and of course, he also complained about Tang Yin more than anyone else in his heart.
Just based on his own preferences, he changed the commander on the spot, which is not a move of Ming Jun. The Eagle Army has this experience, and the king is duty-bound.
He arched his hand and said, "The minister has been dismissed by the king, presumably the king has not forgotten it!"
"You ......" Tang Yin was about to get angry, but he still suppressed his anger rationally, he nodded slowly, and said, "Remove you, I do have some impulsiveness." As he spoke, he beckoned to Yuan Wu beside him, who stepped forward quickly and handed a roll of red silk to Tang Yin's hand.
Tang Yin took it, put the red thick on the table, spread it out, and said, "This is my apology for you." ”
Ziying looked down and was stunned, wrapped in a handful of broken hair. Tang Yin grabbed his hair and said, "See, this is my broken hair." I'll apologize to you for breaking off, General Ziying, don't blame me anymore!"
Tang Yin sent his broken hair, which Ziying never expected. Although there is no concept of 'body hair and skin, give parents to the body', whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, they all attach great importance to hair, and it is a great shame to be cut off by others, and it takes a lot of determination to break your own hair.
Ziying was stunned for three seconds, hurriedly got up, knelt down in front of Tang Yin with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "The king...... Kill Wechen ......"
Tang Yin sighed and said: "Ziying, when I dismissed you from your position, I was angry, and I was wrong, and now that the Sky Eagle Army has suffered this catastrophe, I hope you can stand up and save the whole army from fire and water." The Sky Eagle Army was created by you, and you brought it up with your own hands, no matter how much you hate me in your heart, how much you hate me, can you really bear to see the Sky Eagle Army annihilated from now on?"
As a monarch, Ziying knows that this is the limit. He knelt on the ground and did not get up, but bowed forward, and asked, "I wonder how determined the king is to let his ministers rebuild the Sky Eagle Army?"
Tang Yin's face was straight, and he said categorically: "Full support! How many recruits are needed, how many silver taels are needed, as long as you declare it, I will approve it." ”
"Thank you, the king!" Ziying clenched her fists and said in a loud voice: "As long as there is the support of the king, the minister is confident that he will hand over a prosperous Sky Eagle army to the king in a month!"
"Okay!" Tang Yin was waiting for Ziying's words, hating his character, but he liked and appreciated Ziying's courage with confidence. He stood up, stepped directly over the table, helped Ziying up, and said movingly: "With General Ziying's words, I am relieved." ”
Tang Yin abandoned Ziying, let the Sky Eagle Army lose its troops, almost wiped out the whole army, and suffered a big loss, Tang Yin also learned a good way, personally returned to the Hexi camp, invited Ziying out again, and let him continue to serve as the commander of the Sky Eagle Army, and was fully responsible for the reorganization of the Sky Eagle Army.
Returning to the front barracks with Ziying, his first report gave Tang Yin a headache.
Borrowed soldiers.
Ziying does not borrow from the Plains Army, does not borrow from the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army, but borrows from Tang Yin's direct army, and one mouth is 50,000. Tang Yin's direct army suffered losses in the battle of crossing the river, but it was not large, and after the reinforcements fell, the establishment was completed, and now the total strength is about 120,000.
If 50,000 are lent at once, there are only 70,000 people left in the direct army, and they are already dissatisfied with the establishment of the legion, in addition, the direct army is brought out by Tang Yin, it is the close army around him, although the military style and discipline are not very good, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, on the battlefield, one by one desperate, besides, the direct army and his relationship with him are also deep, and his loyalty to him is beyond doubt, now let him send 50,000 people at once, where is he willing to do it? Tang Yin was like a mirror in his heart, Ziying said that it was borrowed, but in fact it was to be, this is a loan that has been borrowed but not repaid.
For Ziying's report, the most fierce reaction was Wuying, and in front of Tang Yin, she was also one hundred and two opponents.
However, in the end, Tang Yin still chose to endure the pain and approved Ziying's application. The soldiers can be re-enlisted, but there is only one Ziying, in order to restore the vitality of the Sky Eagle Army and revitalize it, he can only make some sacrifices, in Tang Yin's opinion, this can be regarded as a punishment for his impulsiveness.
Based on the 50,000 directly subordinate troops and 10,000 remnants of the Sky Eagle Army, Ziying began to reorganize the Sky Eagle Army, and Zi Ying did not blame Situ Qi too much for causing the Sky Eagle Army to almost be wiped out, but continued to let him serve as the deputy commander of the Sky Eagle Army to assist him.
Situ Qi's approach to Ziying is naturally to be grateful to Dade, and when he assists Ziying, he has the mentality of making up for his mistakes, and he is more dedicated.
With the hundredfold efforts of Ziying and Situ Qi, the Sky Eagle Army soon began to take shape.
