Chapter 311

Counselor Zhang Zhe nodded, feeling that Qiu Zhen's words made sense and were exactly what he wanted to say. However, his qualifications in the Tianyuan Army were still relatively low, and he was too embarrassed to speak out some of the things he wanted to say. Zong Yuan secretly shook his head. Qiu Zhen was calm and cool, and smart, but he was too direct and had no skills in speaking. Although he meant good things, if he said them at the wrong time and place, they would turn into bad words.

Tang Yin couldn't laugh at this time. Qiu Zhen demoted the other generals and also made some innuendoes at him. He sneaked into Xibai City and was able to seize the opportunity to destroy the city not because of his ability, but because of luck. Just a coincidence. Tang Yin suppressed the displeasure in his heart, smiled dryly, and said: "Master Qiu... Master Qiu..."

He said Master Qiu twice without thinking of what to say. After a pause, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "What Master Qiu said is absolutely true!"

Qiu Zhen glanced at Tang Yin and sighed secretly. He and Tang Yin had known each other for so long and were together almost every day. How could he not be familiar with his character? Just by looking at his appearance at this time, he knew that Tang Yin was angry. Qiu Zhense said: "When we take Xibai City, we don't just have to eliminate Zhong Tian's minions. We also need to consider how to manage the city well so that we can continuously deliver troops, food, wages, and supplies to our army."

Tang Yin said expressionlessly: "This matter will be handled by Yuanji."

"Sir Shangguan is already very busy in dealing with the affairs of the three counties. When it comes to dealing with the affairs of Lehu County, I am afraid that he will not be able to handle everything, and he may not be able to do everything. If we can handle it now, we should try our best to handle it ourselves, such as winning people's hearts! "Qiu Zhense said.

Tang Yin blinked and did not answer.

Qiu Zhen continued: "Now our army has entered the city and the fighting has stopped long ago. However, in the huge Western City, there is not a single person on the street. It can be seen that the people in the city are deeply afraid of our army. Your Excellency should find a way to eliminate the people's fear of our army." The fear of the Tianyuan Army is the only way that Lehu County can maintain long-term peace and stability under the leadership of the Lord. Otherwise, disaster will happen sooner or later. "

"Oh..." Tang Yin was angry, but he had to admit that Qiu Zhen's words made sense. He asked: "Master Qiu, in your opinion, how can we eliminate the people's fear of our army?"

"This is not something that happens overnight!" Qiu Zhen said: "Your Excellency, you should now hold a celebration banquet in the county capital, invite the well-respected noble families and common people in the city, treat each other with courtesy, eliminate these people's hostility towards our army, and win over them. It is much easier for them to rectify our military's name than it is for our army to rectify our own name."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head and said repeatedly: "What Mr. Qiu said makes sense!" Then he looked around and asked: "What do you mean?"

All the generals were secretly angry at Qiu Zhen and poured cold water on him without saying anything. However, all the counselors responded and praised Qiu Zhen for his good idea.

All the counselors in the audience supported it. Tang Yin no longer hesitated and said immediately: "Master Qiu, please take action on this matter. Tonight, I will host a banquet in the county capital!"

"Yes! Sir!"

"If you don't understand anything about Xibai City, you can ask Mr. Yu Jun for help!" Tang Yin added. After all, Yu Jun was once an important counselor around Geng Qiang and was relatively familiar with the situation in the city.

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came quickly from outside. He stepped forward, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin, and said, "Sir, there is a man named Yu Jun outside the door asking to see you!"

Ah! If you really say Cao*, Cao* will be there. He just mentioned Yu Jun and he came. Tang Yin smiled leisurely, nodded and said, "Please!" In fact, as Qiu Zhen said, it was indeed a fluke that Tang Yin was able to seize the opportunity to break the city in the city. Without Yu Jun's help, it would not be easy to break the city.

Soon, Yu Jun strode into the hall under the guidance of the guards.

Seeing him, Tang Yin stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu Jun..."

He had just called Yu Jun's name when he suddenly felt that something was not right about Yu Jun. The latter's face was filled with anger, his eyebrows stood up, and his eyes were round. After entering the hall, he neither saluted nor spoke to Tang Yin. Then he stood upright in the center of the hall and stared at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was very surprised and asked: "Mr. Yu Jun, what happened?"

"Tang Yin, let me ask you, why did you kill Du Qing? Why did Du Qing destroy the city for you? Why did you want to kill him?" Yu Jun asked angrily.

Tang Yin also knew that Du Qing was accidentally killed by the Tianyuan Army's random arrows. Although he felt it was a pity, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, Du Qing is a surrendered general, and he will die when he dies. There is no need to delve into this matter further and punish the soldiers who fought bloody battles below.

He sighed softly and said: "I think Mr. Yu Jun misunderstood. I did not mean to harm General Du Qing. On the contrary, I am very sad about his unfortunate death!"

"But he was shot to death by the Tianyuan Army!" Yu Jun gritted his teeth and said.

Tang Yin patiently explained: "The battlefield was chaotic at the time, and the soldiers below did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend. It was purely a manslaughter."

Yu Jun took a deep breath and asked, "How are you going to deal with the murderer?"

How to deal with the murderer? Tang Yin never thought about investigating the matter in depth. He smiled slightly and said: "Now that what has happened, even if the soldiers who accidentally killed General Du Qing are executed, General Du Qing cannot be brought back to life. Let's forget about it!"

"Forget it?" Yu Jun was furious when he heard this, and said angrily: "What? You Tianyuan Army members are only human beings, and the others are not human beings? What's more, General Du Qing has personally promised to surrender to you, but you are like this How can you be worthy of General Du Qing's heroic spirit?" As he spoke, Yu Jun's eyes nearly burst open. He pointed at Tang Yin with trembling fingers and gritted his teeth: "Tang Yin, you despicable villain, I really shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. Your flattery persuaded General Du Qing to seek refuge with you, but it was I who killed Du Qing..."

After hearing this, Tang Yin's face darkened, and the expressions of the surrounding generals also changed drastically. Several of them stepped forward, raised their hands, held their swords, and glared at Jun angrily.

A cold light flashed in Tang Yin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said with a smile: "Mr. Yu Jun said something serious. Someone, come and send Mr. Yu Jun back home!"

Following his words, two soldiers walked in quickly from outside, stood on Yu Jun's left and right, stretched out their hands and said: "Mr. Yu Jun, please!"

Du Qing's death was unclear. Yu Jun was not willing to let it go. He had no intention of leaving. He continued to point at Tang Yin's nose and cursed: "Villain! Villain -"

Tang Yin frowned and shook his head towards the two guards. The two guards were no longer polite, took Yu Jun's arms and dragged him out of the hall.

Until Yu Jun was pulled out of the hall, he could still be heard yelling and cursing intermittently.

"Damn it!" Shangguan Yuan Biao shouted coldly and said, "Sir, this Yu Jun is lawless and dares to insult you. You must not let him go like this!"

"No!" Qiu Zhen came out to stop him and said sternly: "Yu Jun contributed greatly to my army's attack on the city. If we execute him just because of this, it will be difficult to convince the public and it will give you a reputation of being ruthless and unjust."

Shangguan Yuanbiao scratched his hair and asked, "What should we do?"

Yeah, what should I do? Tang Yin was also asking the same question in his heart. If Yu Jun was left behind, he would spread the word that he was responsible for Du Qing's death. If he were to kill him directly, it would be true. After thinking for a moment, he narrowed his eyes, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mo among the generals, and said, "Jiang Mo!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Yu Jun's family will move away from Xibaicheng, and then disappear. There will be no such person in the world. Jiang Mo, do you understand what to do?" Tang Yin asked slowly.

Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, and then murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. He nodded and said, "My subordinates will make arrangements for this!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin said: "Don't let the news out!"

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do!" After Jiang Mo finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Tang Yin and walked out of the hall quickly.

Although Tang Yin didn't make his words clear, everyone knew what he meant. He was asking the secret arrow to force Yu Jun to move away, wait until outside the city, and then kill his whole family to silence him. The method was not unscrupulous, but it was true. It is the best way to block your mouth. Qiu Zhen showed no objection to this. Instead, he nodded and secretly praised Tang Yin for his quick response and sharp style.

Qiu Zhen knows very well that anyone who cares about small benevolence and righteousness will never achieve great things. Those who can achieve great success must be ruthless heroes. Tang Yin is exactly such a person.

Du Qing and Yu Jun, the two greatest heroes who assisted Tang Yin in capturing Xibai City, neither of them ended up well in the end. One died among the rebels on the battlefield, and the other died in an assassination attempt. If Du Qing's death was a manslaughter, then Yu Jun's death was entirely his own fault.

He mistakenly regarded Tang Yin as a benevolent and righteous person, and also misjudged Tang Yin's magnanimity.

In the evening of the same day, a banquet was held in the county capital of Xibaicheng to entertain the invited dignitaries of the city.

These invited noble families and reputable common people had no choice but to come. When the Tianyuan Army invited them, they sent a large number of soldiers there, as if they could rush into the house at any time if they did not accept the invitation. , as if cutting it into pieces.

People thought that Tang Yin had no good wine and no good banquets. When they came, they were almost all determined to die.

But when they arrived at the banquet in the county capital, everyone immediately felt the relaxed atmosphere. There was no murderous atmosphere like swords being unsheathed and arrows being cocked. There were only scenes of lanterns and colorful decorations and soldiers walking back and forth at the banquet serving wine and food.

Tang Yin was dressed in casual clothes and greeted every guest who came with a smile. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, at least he was polite on the surface and looked like a good gentleman. The frightening dark spiritual cultivator in armor and holding a scythe is completely different from the other two.
