Qiu Zhen couldn't watch Ziying receive such a heavy punishment. As a general, as the commander of an army, it is a great honor to die in front of the two armies.

He said urgently: "The king, General Ziying is loyal to the king, since he took refuge in the king, he has led the Eagle Army to fight in the south and the north, and has made countless military achievements, and I hope that the king will ...... on the merits of General Ziying."

Tang Yin interrupted expressionlessly: "This king only let him go home because of his military exploits, otherwise how could I still let him live?"

Seeing that Tang Yin was angry now, no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless, Qiu Zhen wisely chose to shut up and stop talking.

After Qiu Zhen left, Wuying walked a few steps quickly, and when she reached Tang Yin's back, looking at his stiff back, she took back her hand to untie the outer curtain behind her and draped it behind Tang Yin.

Tang Yin stopped and looked back at Wu Ying.

Wu Ying's face was slightly red, and she whispered, "It's cold outside." ”

Tang Yin nodded, but still pulled down Wuying's outer qi, handed it back to her hand, and said, "I'm not cold!" He was about to burn at this time, where could he still feel cold?

Wu Ying looked at his handsome and resolute cheeks, and said softly: "The king should not hurt his body for a minister like Ziying. ”

Even if Tang Yin is eager to break Ziying's body to pieces, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't think that Ziying is a minister.

Seeing that Tang Yin was silent for a long time, Wuying continued: "Ziying is really too much, she has to execute those poor soldiers in front of the king, and she doesn't take the king in her eyes at all. ”

may be because of her background, Wuying is a short-term protector in her bones, which is also a common problem of traditional nobles. In the eyes of the traditional elite, the people below are at fault, which is equivalent to their own mistakes, and the punishment of those below is equivalent to slapping themselves, which is a great humiliation for themselves.

Tang Yin was in a bad mood to the extreme, and he didn't have the heart to listen to Wuying's chatter, he sighed and said, "Xiaoying, don't say it again, and don't mention Ziying again." ”

Fortunately, Wuying is not a woman who doesn't understand people's faces, she nodded and said no more.

This time, hundreds of soldiers who hid their belongings at once can cause an uproar in the Feng Army, and the officers and men of the Feng Army, who originally ignored military regulations and military discipline, have become more aware of the rules this time, and many people even record military regulations and military discipline into a small book, which they have to take out and read several times every day, so that they can know what they can do and what they can't do.

As for Ziying and Cheng Jin, who took the lead in strict military discipline, neither of them got any benefits. On the surface, Tang Yin rewarded the two with some gold and silver, but in fact, it was not the case at all. Cheng Jin's official rank was demoted by one level, from lieutenant general to major general, and Yu Lu was directly detained for a whole year. As for Ziying, it was even worse, the official rank was not demoted, and Yu Lu was not deducted, but the post of commander of the Sky Eagle Army was relieved, and only an empty title of general remained, and the commander of the Sky Eagle Army was taken over by his deputy general Situ Qi. If it weren't for the generals who persuaded Tang Yin bitterly, Ziying would have to be sent home directly, and in the end, Tang Yin finally agreed to keep him in the army for the time being and be an idler.

The storm of military discipline of the Feng Army has come to an end, and it was not until this time that the military discipline of the Feng Army really began to be rigorous.

Three days later, the reinforcements sent by the Wind Country arrived, and the strength of the Plains Army, the Sanshui Army, the directly subordinate army, and the Sky Eagle Army were all restored, and then, the Plains Army and the Sanshui Army set off south, the Plains Army pursued the remnants of Wei Zheng, and the Three Water Army went to Jiashang County instead of the Sky Eagle Army to reinforce the Mo army that fought there.

As the two main corps of the Plains Army and the Sanshui Army moved south, the strength of the Wind Army battalion was sharply reduced, leaving only the direct army and the Sky Eagle Army.

The coach is favored and gets many benefits, the coach falls out of favor, and the whole army is unlucky. When replenishing troops, the Plains Army and the Sanshui Army were given priority, followed by the direct army, and the Sky Eagle Army was assigned to the Sky Eagle Army in the end.

In the Battle of Zhanghe, the Sky Eagle Army suffered the greatest losses, but the number of troops that were filled was the least, and the total number of remaining troops when it was assigned to the Sky Eagle Army was less than 10,000. For such a result, the newly appointed commander of the Sky Eagle Army, Situ Qi, could only smile bitterly.

Situ Qi was originally Ziying's confidant and general, and Ziying single-handedly promoted him to deputy commander, he was not familiar with Tang Yin's relationship, let alone close, even if he was dissatisfied with the division of troops, he did not dare to bring it up.

After the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army left, Tang Yin began to actively prepare for the westward march and prepared to attack Xiaoling County.

On this day, he inspected the camp and specially called Cheng Jin.

While walking, he said to Cheng Jin, who was following him, "Cheng Jin?"

"The subordinates are here. Cheng Jin bowed and answered.

"You're not convinced by my punishment, aren't you?" Tang Yin asked with his hands behind his back and in a flat tone.

"I didn't ...... No. Cheng Jin hurriedly replied: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Tang Yin turned his head to look at him, smiled, and said angrily: "I asked you to cut yourself that day, can't you see that it was my angry words?

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "The king has the grace of knowing his subordinates, and he is reinvented, and the lives of his subordinates have long been the king's, and if the king wants to, his subordinates will never complain." ”

"Yes! That's right. Tang Yin nodded with a smile, changed his words, and asked: "That day, you privately decided to execute the soldiers who violated discipline, because you were afraid that this king would not come to the stage, right?"

Cheng Jin told the truth and responded: "This is the first, and the second is that the subordinates are also afraid that the king will be very angry, so they kill General Ziying in a fit of anger." ”

Tang Yin sneered and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't Ziying be killed?"

Cheng Jin said in a low voice: "Although General Ziying has disrespect for the king, after all, he is also thinking about the king and the whole army, and his loyalty is demonstrated, and his sin is not enough to die." ”

Tang Yin first sighed for a moment, then his face sank, and said, "Your position is too serious. You have to understand that the dark arrow is special, if there is a position tendency, how can it be just, if it can't be fair, it will be true, then the dark arrow can no longer exist. ”

Cheng Jin's body shook violently, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes! ”

"Come with me to the Aquila camp. Tang Yin turned around and walked towards the headquarters of the Sky Eagle Army.

When Tang Yin, Cheng Jin and others arrived at the camp of the Sky Eagle Army, the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Army were doing formation exercises, and the evolution of various formations was at a glance, and the cooperation between the soldiers was extremely tacit. Tang Yin stopped and watched for a while, nodded secretly, and then walked towards the tent.

In the tent, Situ Qi and several major generals of the Sky Eagle Army were there, and when they saw Tang Yin coming, people got up one after another and saluted Tang Yin.

Tang Yin waved his hand, signaled everyone to flatten, then sat down in the handsome position, looked around, did not see Ziying's figure, and was about to ask a question, when he suddenly remembered that Ziying had been removed by himself, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. He raised his eyes to look at Situ Qi and said, "General Situ!"

"The last general!" Situ Qi hurriedly bowed his hand.

Tang Yin smiled and said, "This time I went to Xiaoling County, this king wants your Sky Eagle Army to take the lead, what do you think?"

Where does Situ Qi dare to have an opinion, Tang Yin is the king, he has to do whatever he says. He replied, "The last will obey." ”

Tang Yin said leisurely: "You should know that our army can only lose and cannot win in this battle, but even if it is defeated, this king still hopes to give the Ning army of Xiaoling County a dismount, so the first few battles must be won, and it must be a big victory, can you do it?"

Compared with Ziying, Situ Qi is not only worlds different in ability, but even his self-confidence and courage are far inferior to Ziying. He swallowed and foamed, and said cautiously, "The last general...... The last will do his best. ”

Hearing such a reply, Tang Yin's brows immediately furrowed, what can be done is what can be done, and if you can't do it, you can't do it, what does it mean to do your best? He said expressionlessly: "Ziyingshan is scheming, you have served by his side for so long, you should always learn a thing or two, this king has confidence in you, but you still don't have confidence in yourself?"

Situ Qi heard that Tang Yin had the meaning of reproaching himself in his words, and he hurriedly said: "The last general will take the lead, and the flag will be victorious!"

"Okay! This is what the commander of the first army should say!" Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will send Zhou Chang and Li Shenger to be your vanguard and help you!"

Zhou Chang and Li Sheng are both one of the newly selected sixteen generals, and each has a good spiritual martial arts to learn.

"Thank you, the king!" Situ Qi bowed and bowed deeply.

"Early tomorrow morning, your troops will go out first, and this king will lead his direct army to respond. ”

"Yes, King!"

"Oh, by the way, is the Aquila Army still fully armed?" Tang Yin asked.

"Lost some ...... in the Battle of the Zhanghe River" Situ Qi did not dare to say directly that it was insufficient, but pushed it to the battle of crossing the river in a roundabout way.

When Ziying was there, she never said such nonsense, and Tang Yin didn't want to hear it. Without waiting for Situ Qi to finish speaking, he slapped the table case heavily and asked: "As a commander, don't you know whether the armament is sufficient or insufficient?

Situ Qi's frightened body trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground, his face turned pale with fright, and he said urgently: "Foot, foot, foot!

"En!" Tang Yin's face softened a little, pondered for a moment, and said: "In this case, this king will not allocate armaments to your department, after all, the armaments of our army are not very sufficient now, and the Plains Army and the Sanshui Army that go to fight in the south need to have a lot of logistics support." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Situ Qi replied repeatedly.

The generals and ministers who can usually discuss with Tang Yin are very close to him, and they all know Tang Yin's personality, so his attitude is very calm and his speech is natural, but Situ Qi is not, although he is the deputy commander of the Sky Eagle Army, he has not met Tang Yin many times, let alone spoken a few times, so he seems nervous and flustered.

He was unnatural, Tang Yin felt even more awkward, he stared at Situ Qi, and couldn't help asking: "General Situ, is this king so hateful, like a ghost?"
