Chapter 549

"What does the king want from the general?" The deputy general looked at Tang Yin's latest chapter with confusion on his face.

"Your sword." Tang Yin said expressionlessly.

Why does the king need a sword? The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, then shivered and said urgently: "Your Majesty, our brothers have just gone through a difficult siege. They are nervous and need to relax... Please be merciful, Your Majesty, just... spare them!"

Tang Yin said coldly: "Bring your sword, do you want to disobey me?"

When the deputy general heard this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground and disobeyed the king's order. He couldn't even save ten of his heads! How dare he say any more nonsense, he hurriedly took out the sword from his waist, held it with both hands, and handed it to Tang Yin respectfully.

Tang Yin took the sword, accelerated his horse speed, rushed to the group of Feng soldiers who were raping the Ningguo girl, and looked down. At this time, the soldiers' attention was focused on the girl below. How did they realize that their king was behind them?

Shaking his head secretly, Tang Yin suddenly waved his arm, and the sword came out of his hand, drawing a cold light in the air and shooting straight into the crowd. This cold light was extremely precise and did not hurt any of the Feng soldiers. It just passed through the gaps between the people and finally stabbed the chest of the young girl in the crowd.

Phew!

The young girl who was being insulted by Feng Jun spoke out repeatedly. The sword penetrated her naked chest and killed her on the spot. A Feng Jun who was lying on the girl's body to let out his lust screamed in fright, as if someone had stepped on his tail. He jumped very high, turned around and yelled: "Who the hell is it..."

The curse was only halfway through when it suddenly stopped. When he looked at the soldier, his face turned green with fright. He looked dumbfounded at Tang Yin who was riding a tall horse outside the crowd. His legs, which had taken off his military trousers, were shaking violently involuntarily. Seeing his appearance, the other Feng soldiers around him also turned to look back. What they met was Tang Yin's cold gaze.

Time seemed to have stopped, and the field was quiet, eerily quiet. I don’t know how long it took, but the soldiers finally reacted. They all fell to their knees in unison, leaning on the ground with their heads on the ground, their voices trembling violently, and they stammered: "Little...little man, I bow to the king!"

"You all get up!" Tang Yin stared at everyone for a long time before speaking slowly. Then, he said to the soldier Feng who didn't put up his pants: "And you, put on your pants!"

The soldier's face turned pale and he lifted up his trousers shivering. He had spoken rudely to Tang Yin just now. If he was blamed for this, not only would he be ruined, but the lives of his whole family, young and old, would be in danger. How could he not be afraid?

However, Tang Yin did not look at him again. He pointed at the naked body of the girl on the ground and said, "You must remember that you are dignified soldiers, not bandits and robbers. You kill people indiscriminately, rob property, and rape women. This matter has been spread. Go out, how will the people of the world view us, Feng Jun? Who will think that we are the righteous warriors of revenge? We, Feng Jun, have been completely disgraced by you!”

Tang Yin really wanted to execute all these soldiers, but he was reluctant to do so, so he had to do the next best thing and stab the girl who had been ravaged by the soldiers to death with a sword to silence her.

Everyone was so red-faced by what Tang Yin said that they couldn't even hold their heads up. The soldiers who had just stood up knelt back to the ground and said with tears: "Your Majesty, we know our mistake. Please forgive the villain." Bar!"

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looked around at everyone, and finally sighed secretly, saying coldly: "Just this once, if you do it again, I will kill your head!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't believe their ears. They kowtowed quickly and shouted urgently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."

Tang Yin said no more and urged his horse to walk past everyone. It can be seen that what they did is not an isolated phenomenon. If we want to punish them, we can't punish all the soldiers who made mistakes, right? To solve this problem, we have to go to Liang Qi and ask him to find a way to restrain his subordinates.

When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Tang Yin was disappointed. He didn't see Liang Qi, only Bai Yong. Seeing Tang Yin suddenly arriving in Fengcheng, Bai Yong was also surprised and hurriedly knelt down to salute. Tang Yin called Bai Yong up and asked, "Where is Liang Qi? Isn't he in the general's mansion?"

This general's mansion was originally the official residence of Yan Zheng, who committed suicide. Liang Qi, who entered the city, took it as his own and used it as the temporary command post of the Sanshui Army. Bai Yong nodded and responded: "Back to your Majesty, General Liang was originally in the mansion, but... he just went out."

"Going out? What happened?" Tang Yin asked casually.

Bai Yong looked embarrassed and did not answer immediately. Seeing this, Tang Yin urged: "You should tell me!"

Bai Yong was shaken and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, our army has been frequently attacked by mobs in the city. The soldiers below spontaneously went to encircle and suppress the mobs. However, the situation was a little out of control. General Liang has gone to deal with the matter personally."

Liang Qi seems to have some brains! Tang Yin secretly nodded, and then he said with a cold face: "I'm not blind. I saw it when I entered the city. The soldiers below were not encircling and suppressing the mob, but massacring the city and looting property! Did you know, Once this matter is publicized, how difficult will it be for our army to attack other cities in Ningguo in the future? Then we will not only face the Ning army, but also the whole city will hate our army. The people of Ningguo!”

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty taught you a lesson!" Bai Yong nodded repeatedly and responded: "General Liang also said so, so he personally took action to stabilize the situation."

"Yes!" Tang Yin did not say much about this matter, but changed the topic and asked: "What are the casualties of our army in this battle?"

"Back to your Majesty, our army has nearly 30,000 dead brothers, and more than 10,000 seriously injured brothers. Together, the number is close to 40,000!" The serious injuries Bai Yong mentioned refer to the soldiers who can no longer continue fighting and need to be sent back home. .

Although he did not personally participate in this battle, Tang Yin could feel the intensity of this battle just by listening to the casualty figures. He said quietly: "The Ning army west of Tongmen really fought bravely." After a pause, he looked at Bai Yong and asked, "Are they gone?"

"Oh... During the siege, the boulders and crossbows in the army were all used up. In addition, the ordnance stored in the army was also lost..."

Before Bai Yong could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted, "Why didn't you mention that Yuan Rang was also seriously injured?"

Hearing Tang Yin mention Shangguan Yuan Rang, Bai Yong secretly grinned. He knew Tang Yin's love for Shangguan Yuan Rang. The latter was seriously injured in the Sanshui Army, and Liang Qi and himself could not escape the blame.

Seeing Bai Yong lowering his head, hesitating and unable to speak, with sweat pouring down his face, Tang Yin no longer made it difficult for him and asked: "Where is Yuan Rang now? Take me to see him!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Bai Yong didn't dare to breathe, so he responded and hurried forward to help Tang Yin lead the way. Shangguan Yuanrang was a dignified general, so he would not be placed with ordinary wounded soldiers and generals. Liang Qi specially found a comfortable bedroom in the general's mansion for Shangguan Yuanrang to recuperate.

Entering Shangguan Yuanrang's room, smelling the smell of medicine all over the room, and seeing Shangguan Yuanrang lying unconscious on the bed, panting, pale, and covered with bandages, Tang Yin felt a sore nose and almost shed tears. Come down.

Who is Shangguan Yuanrang? In Tang Yin's impression, when Yuanrang fights against others, no matter how powerful and terrifying the enemy is, he can only win but never lose. Now he just attacks a small Fengcheng and is injured. With this situation, Tang Yin couldn't figure out how Liang Qi commanded and what his intentions were. He even wondered whether Liang Qi wanted to kill Yuan Rang intentionally.

Seeing that Tang Yin, who was so joyful and angry, his expression changed rapidly at this moment, showing sadness for a while, and anger for a while. Bai Yong trembled in his heart, and secretly shouted that it was bad, the king had probably angered Liang because of Shangguan Yuanrang's matter. If it starts, of course, I will definitely not be immune.

He took a deep breath, swallowed the foam, walked into Tang Yin, and whispered carefully: "Your Majesty, General Yuan Rang led two thousand brothers into Fengcheng. With ten thousand enemy troops and countless mobs, he was in the city. After fighting fiercely for more than four hours, the main force of Ning's army withdrew into the city. General Yuan Rang was not afraid and started fighting with thousands of enemy troops. During the chaotic battle, General Yuan Rang not only wounded countless enemies, but also injured many enemies. Surrounded by enemies, we successfully broke out a blood stream and opened the city gate, allowing the main force of our army to successfully enter the city. However, in the end, General Yuan Rang ran out of spiritual energy, exhausted his physical strength, and was injured by Ning's army's arrow array... It can be said that our army’s victory in this battle was entirely due to General Yuan Rang. It was General Yuan Rang who single-handedly captured Fengcheng!”

Bai Yong is Tang Yin's old subordinate and knows Tang Yin's character very well. At this time, his words are also very skillful. He only mentions the credit of Shangguan Yuanrang and does not mention his faults at all, let alone absolve Liang Qi and himself of responsibility. .

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Tang Yin was very moved. The anger on his face lightened a lot and was replaced by relief and pride. He walked to the bed, grabbed Shangguan Yuanrang's hand, and said quietly: "Yuanrang is worthy of being my most powerful general in Dafeng! Among a hundred thousand enemy troops, he can force open the city gate by himself. I wonder who else in the world can do this?”

Bai Yong struck while the iron was hot, responded repeatedly, and said: "General Yuan Rang not only did it, but also successfully saved his life. It is really the blessing of my gale and the blessing of the king!"

After receiving such praise from Bai Yong, Tang Yin's anger receded a lot. He asked, "Why do you want Yuan Rang to lead only two thousand brothers into Fengcheng? Don't you know the danger of this battle?"

Bai Yong hurriedly explained: "The king misunderstood, the thing is like this..." At this time, Bai Yongfang recounted the incident in detail from beginning to end. Finally, he fell to his knees with a plop, shook his head and said: " General Yuan Rang was so seriously injured that General Mo could not escape the blame. If General Mo could have reminded General Yuan Rang to control the city gate after entering Fengcheng and isolate the main force of Ning's army from outside the city, then our army would come again. If we attack from both inside and outside, the war will not be like it is now..."

On the surface, he was saying that he was wrong, but in fact, he was alluding to Shangguan Yuanrang's fault.
