The resentment of the local army against Xiao Kui has not been endured for one or two days. Since he became the commander-in-chief, the local army's life has not been better. This time, he was besieged by the heavy troops of the Tianyuan army, and Xiao Kui's command was improper. The resentment in the hearts of the local army broke out and cut it into meat and mud.

Xiao Kui's confidants and bodyguards did not run away. After being surrounded by the local army, they captured them alive. Then they opened the city gate and all surrendered to the Tianyuan army.

The first World War of Sanchi city did not even take place. 200000 local troops killed commander Xiao Kui, all surrendered and defected to Tang Yin. The victory in this war can be described as bloodless.

It was a happy event to receive 200000 local armies at once, but Tang Yin was not happy. These local armies were originally County armies and county armies in all parts of the Feng country. They were used to being treated with dignity and dignity in ordinary days. That is, they had not participated in combat and had not received too strict training. Their combat effectiveness was very poor. Tang Yin didn't have so much money and food to support so many useless soldiers.

On that day, Tang Yin called together the commanders of the local armies. These commanders had already taken off their red armor and gathered in the camp with only their middle clothes. All of them were dejected and sighed. At that time, they killed Xiao Kui in anger. When they calmed down, they all began to worry about themselves.

Xiao Kui was killed by them. They must no longer be accepted by Zhong Tian. They can't go back home. If they don't do well, their family will be implicated by themselves. Now, although they defected to Tang Yin, they are actually captives of others. No one knows how Tang Yin will treat them. For the current embarrassing situation, everyone is at a loss.

While they were sitting in the camp, staring and silent, Tang Yin came with Qiu Zhen, Liang Qi, Xiao MuQing, Guyue, Li Wei and other military commanders. Seeing Tang Yin, the commanders of the local army quickly stood up and knelt on one knee. They saluted the army and said in unison, "my subordinates have seen Lord Tang!"

Tang Yin slowly glanced at the crowd for a moment. He nodded and said calmly, "all generals, get up!" Then he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. Then he also sat on the chair in the middle of the camp and asked, "excuse me, who is general Ju Yanju?"

The generals were stunned at first, and then looked at a big man in the crowd. The big man hurried out of the crowd, bowed his hands and said, "Lord Tang, my subordinate is Ju Yan."

"Oh!" Tang Yin smiled and said, "Lord Zhao once mentioned you to me that you are brave and good at fighting and proficient in the way of managing soldiers. You are a rare talent."

Lord Zhao? The general named Ju Yan was stunned to take the lead, but he immediately reacted. Tang Yin said Zhao Hui. So many Tianyuan troops can pass through the whole Guannan County unconsciously and suddenly come to Sanchi. It is absolutely impossible without Zhao Hui's assistance. It seems that Zhao Huiye has colluded with Tang Yin to fight Zhong Tian.

Ju Yan is the commander of Guan Nan army and the old subordinate of Zhao Hui. He is basically responsible for the major and minor affairs of Guan Nan army. When Ning Jun * was near Yancheng, the reinforcement army of Guan Nan county, commander of Ju Yan, also went to Yancheng. As a result, there was no return, and all his soldiers were detained by Zhong Tian.

At this time, after listening to Tang Yin's words, Ju Yan looked frightened and hurriedly said, "Lord Tang, that's Lord Zhao praising his subordinates. They really don't deserve it!"

Tang Yin nodded secretly. Although Ju Yanchang was tall and powerful, his appearance was rough and fierce, but he was modest and polite, which was in great contrast to his appearance. He said with a smile, "this is Guannan county and general Ju's hometown. General Ju doesn't have to be polite. Now, you can take the brothers of Guannan army back to Tongzhou. Of course, if the soldiers are tired, you can also rest in our barracks for a few days."

Ju Yan was very happy when he heard the speech. Zhao Hui made friends with Tang Yin, and he and his brothers could benefit from it, which surprised him. He hurriedly said, "Lord Tang, I think... I'd better stay in your army for some time. Although Xiao Kui is dead, there are 150000 Central Army led by Zhong Wen and 400000 Ning army behind. I still know a little about it and may be able to help Lord Tang."

Since Zhao Hui and Tang Yin have fought against Zhong Tian together, Ju Yan, as a subordinate, feels that he also has the responsibility to stay to resist the coalition forces of Zhong Tian and Ningguo.

He wanted to stay, which was exactly what Tang Yin wanted. He smiled and said, "well, general Ju, just stay for the time being."

"Yes! Lord Tang!"

Tang Yin was kind to Ju Yan, but he was no longer so polite to others. After talking to Ju Yan, he looked at the generals of other local armies and said, "all generals have been away for a long time and want to return home. Now that they have taken refuge in us, I will never force you to stay. Now you can pack up and go back to your homes."

Instead of leaving these local armies that are not of great use, it's better to send them away as soon as possible and save yourself food and drink for nothing. Tang Yin's words are to invite them home, which is actually tantamount to an eviction order.

After hearing Tang Yin's words, everyone looked at each other. Finally, they all bowed their heads and said nothing.

It's not that they don't want to go, but that they can't go at all. Xiao Kui was killed by them. In a few days, the news will have to reach Zhong Tian. They all have to be wanted all over the country. After leaving Guannan County, they will have a fearful escape day. No one is willing to accept it.

Ju Yan can naturally feel the difficulties of the generals. Now letting them go home is tantamount to letting them fall into the trap and die at home. Ju Yan spent a lot of time with local generals and was a friend in need. Naturally, he couldn't bear to see them fall into Zhong Tian's hands at last.

He cleared his throat, arched his hands and said, "Lord Tang, the officers and men of these local armies hate Zhong Tian's rebellion to the bone. They just dare to be angry under his coercion. Now let them stay and contribute to the crusade against Zhong Tian!"

Through his words, all the generals were in the same spirit, looked at each other, knelt down one after another and said in one voice: "Lord Tang, Zhong Tian killed the king and betrayed the country. Everyone has to kill him. We are willing to stay and fight with the rebels of Zhong Tian's old thief. Even if we die in the war, we will not hesitate!"

"This..." the generals have said these words to this extent. If they are forced to drive them away again, it will be too inhuman. If it is spread, it will be bad for their reputation. Tang Yin felt embarrassed, squinted at Qiu Zhen and asked him what he meant.

Qiu Zhen smiled and said to the generals, "you generals can have such determination, but the soldiers below may not have it. Who hasn't been homesick for so long? If you reluctantly leave them and breed discontent, I'm afraid it will affect the fighting spirit of our army."

Tang Yin heard the speech and nodded with appreciation. He also sighed in his heart that Qiu Zhen was quick in reaction.

The generals were speechless. If Zhong Tian wants to be punished, he will only punish the surrendered generals, and it is impossible to punish the ordinary soldiers below. Therefore, the soldiers have no worries about going home. Moreover, they know too much about their homesickness.

At this time, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were reluctant to go home, but they were too worried to see the thoughts of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty coming back home. However, they didn't want to go home After a pause, he continued: "if you want to defeat Zhong Tian, it's not enough to rely on one or two counties, but to raise the strength of the whole country, so you should be kind to the soldiers and people of all counties and counties. Only in this way can you win the support of the people and overthrow Zhong Tian's rebels."

When Ju Yan finished speaking, Tang Yin took a breath to win the hearts of the people all over the country, which he never thought of. Although he doesn't think that only the will of the people can defeat Zhong Tian, it's not a bad thing to win the support of the people.

Tang Yin is very smart, but his intelligence is mainly reflected in improvisation, and he is not good at foresight. However, he has an advantage that he can be keenly aware of which opinion is good for him and which opinion is not good for him.

He smiled and pondered, but his mind was turning rapidly. After a short pause, he smiled up and said, "what general Ju said is exactly what I considered." Then he looked around at the generals and said, "if you generals want to stay, of course I will welcome you with both hands. If you want to leave, I will not force you. I will also send some money for the road. In addition, I hope you generals can convey my words to the following soldiers."

oh dear! After hearing this, all the generals breathed a sigh. They all saluted and kowtowed to Tang Yin and said, "thank you, Lord Tang!"

Ju Yan looked at it and his eyes were shining.

Just now, Tang Yin has the intention to send all the local troops away. Obviously, he is short-sighted, but now he understands why Tang Yin can make his strength so great. He is not superior and arrogant as those dignitaries and dignitaries, but can listen to the correct opinions of others, even the opinions of the person he has just met. It's easy to say, But it's too hard to do.

He sighed and admired Tang Yin and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

In fact, there are not many local soldiers willing to stay in Guannan county to continue fighting. As soon as Tang Yin's words were conveyed, most local soldiers began to pack up their things and prepare to go home. In the end, less than 20000 people were willing to stay. Tang Yin was very satisfied with and acceptable to this result.

On the other hand, he sent orders to Shangguan yuanrang and Peng haochu who were ambushed at the border to explain the situation of Sanchi city and ask them to lead the team back immediately.

After receiving Tang Yin's order, Peng haochu didn't dare to delay and was about to order the withdrawal of the army. At this time, Shangguan yuanrang quit. He came out to ambush for war. Now he didn't even see the shadow of Zhong Wen's army. How can he withdraw?
