Chapter 288 Mao An's knee was kicked hard, his body fell to the ground involuntarily, he struggled and wanted to stand up, and the guards on the left and right rushed up and pressed him to the ground.
"Tang Yin, as a courtier, but you committed a crime and raised an army to rebel, you don't have to be complacent now, in the end you will not die well" Although Mao An was pressed to the ground, his mouth was not idle, and he scolded.
"Haha" Tang Yin laughed and said: "That's right, I'm a courtier, but I'm a Fengchen, not a Pengchen, and I have never recognized Zhong Tian as a king, what does it mean to commit the following crimes, raise troops to rebel, I am crusading against the usurper and traitor, but it's you, Mao An, helping to abuse, it's not a pity to die, I still don't know how to repent, I am not ashamed, what is the use of me leaving you" As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked: "Where is the knife and axe hand?"
"In" With the sound of agreement, two men armed with ghost-headed machetes approached from outside and bowed to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said: "Push Mao An out and kill" "Yes," the two knife and axe men agreed dryly, dragging Mao An and walking out.
Mao An had long expected that his surname would be difficult to protect, and at this time, he did not ask for his life, and yelled at Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, I will go first, on the Huangquan Road, I will wait for you, haha, I hate that Geng Qiang did not listen to my idea, otherwise how could you capture Jicheng" Seeing Mao An being dragged to the door of the big tent by two knife and axe men, one pulled his hair, and the other raised the ghost head knife to cut down, Qiu Zhen hurriedly chased to the door of the tent and said: "Wait a minute" After speaking, he quickly returned to the tent and said to Tang Yin: "My lord, this Mao An is good at strategy and can manage soldiers, it is better to stay and take it for his own use" Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin slapped the handsome case, his eyes widened, and he interrupted: "This person is extremely hateful, don't say that he is loyal to Zhong Tian, even if he has the heart to take refuge in me, I will resolutely not stay."
"My lord" Qiu Zhen frowned, and wanted to persuade him, but Tang Yin turned his head away, no longer looked at him, and shouted at the knife and axe hand outside the tent: "What are you waiting for to kill you?"
"Yes" The knife and axe hand with the knife looked at Qiu Zhen and then at Tang Yin, and did not dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly raised the ghost head knife, aimed it at Mao An's neck, and slashed it viciously.
Flutter As the sword flashed, Mao An's head fell to the ground in response, and it was far away, and blood spurted out, like a red fountain.
Seeing Mao An's head fall to the ground, Tang Yin's anger still did not subside, and he asked Gu Yue again: "Mao An's family can be in the city."
"Yes, my lord," Gu Yue nodded in response.
"Execute together, leave no one behind" Tang Yin's tone was as cold as ice.
"Understood" Gu Yue handed over the order.
Then, Tang Yin turned his eyes to look at Lu Qingfeng, whose face was like earth.
As a military general, Lu Qingfeng was not a person who was afraid of death, but at this time, his heart trembled, and his face was ugly.
Mao An's severed body was at the door of the big tent, and it would be absolutely a lie to say that there was no fear in his heart.
He took a deep breath at Tang Yin's gaze, and took the initiative to say, "Lord Tang will also execute the subordinates."
Tang Yin chuckled, tilted his head and asked, "I heard that your spiritual martial arts are good" "Not as good as Lord Tang" "Oh how do you know" "I've already fought with Lord Tang in the city."
"Oh, it turned out to be you" It was only at this time that Tang Yin figured out that the Lu Qingfeng in front of him was the Peng general who fought against him in the city.
As the brothers under his command said, this person's spiritual martial arts are indeed good.
He said faintly: "Zhong Tian is a rebel and thief, killing the king and usurping the throne, his heart is hateful, his person can be punished, I cherish your spiritual martial cultivation, if you are willing to join my command, not only will you not be punished, but you will also be crowned with your official position, if you are obsessed, you have also seen it, Mao An is a lesson from the past, where to go, you decide for yourself" Lu Qingfeng and Mao An are both Zhong Tian's henchmen, but Tang Yin's attitude towards the two of them is very different, executing Mao An, he didn't hesitate at all, he didn't even listen to Qiu Zhen's persuasion, and for Lu Qingfeng, even if no one came to persuade him, he also had the intention of recruiting, and it can be seen from this that Tang Yin is from the bottom of his bones to emphasize martial arts and light literature.
After listening to Tang Yin's words, Lu Qingfeng felt in his heart, but he couldn't do this kind of thing if he turned his back on Zhong Tian and switched to Tang Yin.
He arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your love, but one will not serve the second master, and I hope that Lord Tang can give me happiness in the next one, I just ask Lord Tang not to implicate my family, and I will be grateful."
"What if I'm willing to let you go," Tang Yin looked at him directly.
"Then I will go back to Yancheng in the next meeting and ask the king for the guilt."
The implication is that even if Tang Yin releases him, he will still go back to work for Zhong Tian.
Alas, Tang Yin sighed secretly, this person can really be called a loyal person, but unfortunately, it is different from his own way.
He was silent for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at the other people in the big tent, Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue and the others were also looking at him with wide eyes.
Tang Yin put such a talented Mao An to death, and everyone wanted to see how to deal with this Lu Qingfeng.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Tang Yin raised his hand, paused in the air for a moment, and then slammed it downwards and said, "Kill" Since people like Lu Qingfeng can't take it for their own use, they must be put to death.
With Tang Yin's order, the knife and axe hand entered the account, dragged Lu Qingfeng out of the tent, and cut off Lu Qingfeng's head with a knife in his hand.
Tang Yin said to Gu Yue with an expressionless face: "Lu Qingfeng's family can't stay, they will all be killed."
Gu Yue was stunned, although Tang Yin did not promise Lu Qingfeng to leave his family just now, he had already shown his intention to cherish his talents, why did he still execute his family Seeing that his face was confused, Tang Yin said faintly: "Chop the grass, you have to eradicate the roots" Since the killing ring has been opened, it must be killed to the end, and the potential threat that may be unfavorable to him in the future is eliminated.
Tang Yin is not a good person, just the opposite, his methods have always been vicious and vicious, leaving no room for error.
"The subordinates understood," Gu Yue bowed and saluted.
After the direct army captured Jicheng, Tang Yin did not slaughter the city, but carried out large-scale killings of the soldiers and generals in the city, especially the generals and officials, not only all of them were executed, but also the clan was exterminated.
Tang Yin's iron-blooded and ferocious methods played a role in killing chickens and respecting monkeys to a certain extent.
The villages and towns around Jicheng did not need Tang Yin to raise troops to attack, and their officials had taken the initiative to come and surrender to Tang Yin, and promised that they were willing to abandon Zhong Tian and continue to be loyal to Gale.
And because the people below were not harassed and killed by the Wind Army, their attitude towards the Wind Army has also changed greatly, even if they can't be called supportive, but they don't have the deep meaning of prevention as before.
The directly subordinate army rested in Jicheng for a whole day, and then Tang Yin ordered to continue south, enter Baoqing County, and directly take the county seat of Lehu County, Xibaicheng.
When the army directly under the command of Tang Yin approached the West Hundred Cities, the other two armies, the Plains Army and the Chifeng Army, also progressed smoothly, inserting from the east and west sides to the West Hundred Cities, and the direct army headed by Tang Yin was encircled, and the West Hundred Cities were encircled.
The main force of the Tianyuan Army entered Lehu County to fight, and the momentum was like a bamboo, all the way south, and it was about to launch a siege on Xibaicheng, while on the other side, the 100,000 Three Water Army led by Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuanrang was far from being so smooth, not because it was blocked by the enemy, but because the road in Duji was too difficult to walk.
In the vast desert, even if there are horses and camels, it is difficult to walk, let alone the march of 100,000 people, the journey is arduous, and the soldiers are all tired.
Since the second day of entering the desert, there have been heat stroke soldiers appeared, at first only a dozen or twenty sick, but after a few days, the number of sick soldiers began to increase in large quantities, the army supplies were heavy enough, and now they have to bring so many sick numbers, the burden is doubled.
What is even worse is that when they came, who did not expect this situation, the army had insufficient medicines, the sick soldiers could not be treated, and many people turned from minor illnesses to serious illnesses, and finally died of illness in the army.

Because of the heat of the desert, the corpse could not be preserved for a long time, so it could only be buried on the spot in the desert.
In addition to this, the quicksand hidden in the desert is also one of the factors that pose the greatest threat to the Great Army.
On the surface, the ground is full of sand, but as soon as a person walks on it, he will immediately fall into it, and if others don't pull it, if they come to the rescue, they will also fall into it and die.
The hardships of marching in the desert were beyond imagination, and Liang Qi, who was born in a noble position and was high up, showed his own side of the soldiers at this time, he gave up his carriage to the sick soldiers to ride, and even his war horse was also used to carry the baggage, and he was like the ordinary soldiers below, advancing on foot.
How could a general who could share weal and woe with the soldiers not be loved by the soldiers.
Liang Qi's actions moved the soldiers very much, and at the same time produced a strong cohesion, so that the Sanshui Army was still condensed and its morale was high in such a difficult and dangerous environment.
After ten days of ascetic walking in the desert, 100,000 soldiers of the Three Water Army can be regarded as walking out of the desert and approaching the junction of the three kingdoms of Duji, Feng and Ning.
At this time, the number of people was counted, and the number of people reduced by the Sanshui Army reached more than 3,000, which can almost be called a corpse thrown all the way.
The junction of the three kingdoms is barren mountains and mountains, and if you want to go to Tongmen from here, the distance is not far, but you have to cross the continuous mountains in front of you, in which 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 then make a good adjustment before marching, after all, the soldiers below were too tired.
But Liang Qi shook his head and objected, the soldiers were fast and could not be delayed, and what the soldiers were most afraid of in the process of marching was to rest and recuperate halfway, which would lead to the exhaustion of momentum, and they had to arrive at the destination with one go.
After listening to Liang Qi's words, Shangguan Yuan smiled bitterly, his army had just walked out of the desert, and he was about to enter the poor mountains and bad waters, even if he could finally reach Tongmen, he would become a tired army, how could he still attack the city:
