Chapter 562 Watching Li You fall to the ground, Jiang Fan habitually shook the purple gold bow in his hand and muttered, "It's a pity that it's still not as fast as the king's sword."
In the past, Jiang Fan had always thought that his moves and golden arrows were fast enough, but after fighting Tang Yin, he knew that there were people outside the world, and there was heaven outside the sky, compared to Tang Yin, his move was still too slow.
After killing Li You, Jiang Fan stood in front of the corpse for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the dozen or so guards who were hiding on the side of the road and trembled, and said expressionlessly: "Now, it's your turn" As Jiang Fan himself said, he will never be merciful on the battlefield, regardless of whether the other party is a soldier or a general.
The Battle of Qingyuan, it can be said that it really made Ziying famous in the world, the Eagle Army broke the strong city defense and 50,000 Ning troops defended the city of Qingyuan, the city of Hedong County, at a very small cost, not only wiped out the defenders, but even Li You, the first lieutenant general of Hedong County of Ningguo, also died in the chaotic battle.
However, Ziying used the people of Ning to make suspicious tactics, which led to the fact that 50,000 Ning people were mistakenly killed by the Ning army's arrow array, and also made him bear an infamy that would be difficult to wash away for a lifetime, so that the people of Ning called Ziying a butcher and passed it on as a demon who devoured blood like life, and naturally Ning people were also ruthless to Ziying.
This is the so-called fame and ten thousand bones The Battle of Qingyuan was of great significance to the Wind Army, as the great victory of the Sky Eagle Army enabled the Wind Army to occupy the central hinterland of the Hedong region, and also enabled the Wind Army to seize the initiative in either attacking or defending.
After occupying Qingyuan City, Ziying immediately sent people to post a notice to reassure the people in the city, that the Feng Army would not kill innocents indiscriminately, nor would they steal money privately, and Ziying did not kill those captured soldiers of the Ning Army, but just removed their armor and weapons, and then let them all go.
The generals below can understand his actions to calm the people, but when he let go of the captured Ning army, the generals raised objections one after another, feeling that letting go of these Ning troops would be their own enemies in the future, which was equivalent to arsoning with the tiger and returning to the mountain, and their own side would suffer from it, and they should all be executed to prevent future troubles.
Ziying disagreed, and he said meaningfully to the generals: "If we kill all these prisoners today, then the Hou Ning army will have the same hatred and hatred, and everyone will fight to the death with our army.
Killing the enemy is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the best policy" Hearing Ziying's words, all the generals looked at each other and said nothing, and finally Zhan Hu said worriedly: "The captured Ning army is close to 20,000 people, General Ziying released it privately, once the king learns about this and blames it, I'm afraid it will be bad for General Ziying."
Ziying smiled, arched her hand to the side and said: "The king is wise and martial, smart and world-wise, I think the king must be able to understand my intentions."
Ziying said this, but he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, Tang Yin's methods against the enemy have always been tough, mainly to kill them all, and now he said that he would let the 20,000 prisoners go, Tang Yin will blame it is still unknown He praised Tang Yin first, but also to leave a way out for himself.
On the second day after the Eagle Army captured Qingyuan City, the 100,000 directly subordinate troops led by Tang Yin also arrived.
Hearing the news of Tang Yin's arrival in Qingyuan City, Ziying was very conscious, and immediately transferred the Sky Eagle Army stationed in the city to the camp outside the city, and gave Qingyuan City to the direct army to garrison.
He did this mainly to avoid suspicion.
Now that the Ning army has not yet called, it is impossible to station an army of 200,000 in Qingyuan City, if the Sky Eagle Army does not withdraw, the direct army will have to be stationed outside the city, Tang Yin is in the city, and the direct army is outside the city, once the Sky Eagle Army suddenly mutinies, Tang Yin will not be in danger Of course, Ziying will definitely not do anything to kill the monarch, but he has to avoid this suspicion.
Tang Yin has clearly understood the battle report of Ziying's strategy to take Qingyuan lightly from the Tianyan and the earth net, and he praised Ziying's clever calculation and the strangeness of using soldiers, when Ziying went out of the city to meet him, Tang Yin immediately dismounted, stepped forward quickly, helped him up with his own hands, and then took his hand and walked into the city side by side.
As a monarch, Tang Yin's ability to make such an intimate move is the greatest affirmation of Ziying, which is already a great honor for Ziying.
Ziying's heart was naturally very moved, and she also admired and admired Tang Yin, and she was even more desperate.
Entering the city, Tang Yin was quite surprised that Qingyuan City was not as deserted, depressed and lifeless as he imagined, just the opposite, people could be seen passing through the streets from time to time, and even the shops on the side of the road were not closed, and they were still open.
Qingyuan City does not have a solemn atmosphere after the Great War changed hands, this is all thanks to Ziying, don't look at the fierce and barbaric battle of the Eagle Army, but the military discipline is very strict, since entering the city, the Eagle Army has not killed a single person in Ningguo, nor has it robbed a piece of private property, usually the army is only stationed on the city wall, and even rarely enters the city, the autumn of the Feng Army is not offended, so that the people of Ningguo gradually relax their hearts, the tense atmosphere is relieved, Qingyuan City also seems extraordinarily peaceful and quiet, if you insist on what is different from usual, It's just that there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and the laughter and laughter in the ordinary days are no longer audible.
Ziying let Tang Yin and his party into the county capital, and after Tang Yin sat down, Ziying reported the details of the battle to Tang Yin.
The casualties of the Sky Eagle Army in this battle were about 10,000, most of them were wounded, and the number of Ning troops killed was 30,000, and another 20,000 were captured.
Hearing this, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Ziying in confusion.
The latter understood the meaning of Tang Yin's inquiry, and he hurriedly explained his theory to Tang Yin again.
After hearing this, Tang Yin didn't make any statement, still smiling, nodded, and said, "Keep talking." ” Seeing that Tang Yin didn't ask more about this matter, Ziying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and reported the materials and food and salaries that he had seized in Qingyuan City one by one.
Qingyuan is the county seat, Li You has long been preparing to start a long-term battle with the wind army here, and there are a lot of materials and food hoarded in the city, but he didn't expect that in less than three days, Qingyuan City was captured by the wind army, and the materials and food hoarded in the city fell into the hands of the wind army.
Not to mention grain and grass, there are as many as three or four million taels of silver in the treasury alone, which is what makes Tang Yin most excited, and now that the treasury of the Feng Country is empty, and two more counties have been affected, there are three or four million taels of silver as a supplement, which can somewhat relieve the pressure on the treasury.
According to Tang Yin's intentions, all the gold, silver, and silk in the Qingyuan Silver Treasury should be transported back to the Wind Country.
But Ziying shook his head again and again, indicating that it was inappropriate, and he said: "King, this battle is for us to recapture the Hedong region and make Hedong my territory of Gale, but we are not here to loot. ” Tang Yin nodded and asked rhetorically, "What's the difference?"
Ziying smiled and said: "If you come to loot and build a city, our army can naturally ignore it, do whatever it wants, and return to the country with the gold and silver treasures in the city, but if you want to occupy it for a long time, you must win the hearts of the people and the hearts of the local people of Ningguo."
Fengning and Ningning have been at war for many years, and the hostility is very deep, if our army fully occupies Hedong, I am afraid that the local Ning people will migrate to the territory of Ningguo in large numbers, at that time, we can only occupy an empty Hedong region, if the silver in the county town is used to win people's hearts, as long as the Ning people are willing to stay, willing to be the people of my great wind, the king can use these silver as a reward, reward to the Ning people, so that the Ning people who want to stay will increase greatly. ” After listening to Ziying, Tang Yin fell into deep thought, he couldn't say that Ziying's words were unreasonable, but seeing that the silver in his hand couldn't be put into his pocket, Tang Yin's heart was a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Tang Yin was silent, Ziying hurriedly said: "Three or four million taels of silver sent back to China can only alleviate the urgent need, and if it falls in Hedong, it will be able to create a long-term plan. ” Ziying's saying this is tantamount to bringing Tang Yin to the point where there is no way back, and he can only do what he wants.
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and laughed, and said to Ziying: "Okay, Ziying, this matter will be done according to your wishes, Qingyuan's silver is still in Qingyuan City."
"King Shengming" Ziying stood up, arched her hands, and bowed to Tang Yin to the ground.
Tang Yin said to Gu Yue and Wuying on the side: "Immediately pass a letter to Yuanji, and ask Yuanji to appoint a minister who can serve as the head of the county to come to Qingyuan to take up his post."
The city cannot be without an owner, and the county cannot be without a leader, since he has now occupied the county town of Hedong Qingyuan, Tang Yin plans to ask Shangguan Yuanji to appoint a capable minister to come to Hedong to help him stabilize the rear.
Before Gu Yue and Wuying could agree, Ziying hurriedly bowed her hand and said, "King, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a countryman to serve as the head of Hedong County."
It's not appropriate for Tang Yin to be happy again, he was angry, and asked rhetorically: "Ziying, what's wrong with this time?"
"King, more than ninety percent of the people in the Hedong region are Ning people, only the Ning people know best what Ning people think, what they like, what they dislike, and I Feng people serve as the head of the county, one is not to understand the local situation, let alone understand the customs and folklore, and the other is easy to cause the rejection of the people of Ningguo, if a Ning person is elected as the head of the county, these situations will not appear, and it is more conducive to the stability of the Hedong region."
"Hmm" Tang Yin groaned, turned his head to look at Gu Yue and Wu Ying, and asked, "Gu Yue and Xiao Ying, what do you mean?"
Gu Yue frowned and said: "General Ziying's words are certainly reasonable, but Ning Ren is not credible, if Ning Ren is the head of the county, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to our side."
This was exactly what Tang Yin was worried about, and he turned his head to look at Ziying again without saying anything, to see how he answered.
Ziying smiled and said: "Of course the Ning people are not credible, the county head can be the Ning people, but the county lieutenant and the deputy county head must be our Fengren county captain to control the military power, and the deputy county head has the real power of government affairs, let the Ning people serve as the county head, more to stabilize the people of Ningguo to put on a show, if he is really wrong, the king will immediately get rid of it, and choose a sage among the Ning people to replace him." ”:
