Chapter 7819
7819 Chapter 7817-
Looking at Zhang Yiming’s status in the sword spring sect, one could see how weak Zhang Weibing’s family was.
So when Zhang Yiming introduced Lin Yi’s identity and title, Zhang Weibing subconsciously wanted to kneel down.
Lin Yi wasn’t going to let him kneel for real-he quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Weibing’s arm through the iron bars.
“Uncle Zhang, you don’t have to be so polite. In the Army, Yiming and I are superior and subordinate, colleagues. In private, we are brothers, true brothers! You’re my elder, if you’re too polite, I’ll be embarrassed. ”
“Marshal … His Highness …”
Zhang Weibing started to speak incoherently.
He really didn’t expect such a scene to appear.
He had been locked up in prison, his family property seized, and his family clan destroyed. He was already close to despair!
Lin Yi suddenly appeared and called him uncle … Why did it feel like a dream?
“Marshal! The Lord of Yunying city framed my family and imprisoned me. Please seek justice for me!”
Zhang Yiming didn’t care about his father. He wanted to complain to Lin Yi first. Huo Jingtian, that bastard, just wait for his death!
She didn’t expect Lin Yi to only smile and shake his head,”I won’t care about this, you guys do as you see fit!”
Zhang Yiming was shocked. What? You don’t care, commander?
No, eldest senior brother Sima, brother! If you don’t care, I can’t handle Huo Jingtian either!
Lin Yi turned around and gestured for the guards to open the cell door, personally welcoming Zhang Weibing out before continuing with a smile,”Huo Jingtian is plotting a rebellion. I guess he’s not dead yet. Uncle Zhang, you’ll have to work harder in the future. You’ll have to bear the burden of Yunying city for the time being!”
Zhang Weibing and Zhang Yiming were dumbfounded. What did that mean?
“I’m the general in charge of the Army in the northern border, and I have the power to make decisions on the spot. Huo Jingtian is suspected of rebellion, so he must be a spy from the enemy! Regardless of whether he’s still alive or not, it’s impossible for him to continue to serve as the city Lord of Yunying city. In the future, uncle Zhang will be the new city Lord of Yunying city!”
Zhang Weibing continued to be dumbfounded. His family was about to be destroyed, and he suddenly became the Yunying city Lord?
It was so unreal!
I must be dreaming!
Zhang Yiming’s reaction was quick-he knew that Lin Yi had the power to do so. Overjoyed, he cupped his fists and bowed,”Thank you, commander!”
With Lin Yi’s words, the Zhang family would go from an ordinary rich man with a mine to one of the noble classes in Hongshang Commandery!
Although the position of commander of the surveillance camp was not any lower than that of the Lord of Yunying city, it was only effective in the Army.
After the division, if the garrison of the king’s city returned to their original duties, it was uncertain whether tingfeng camp could still be kept!
“There’s no need to be polite between you and me. Let’s talk after we get out!”
Lin Yi said, waving his hand.
Of course, the stronger his younger brother’s family was, the better. Even if they could not provide any help, at least they would be able to live well when he left in the future.
The prison wasn’t a place to talk, and Lin Yi quickly brought the father and son out.
In just a short while, song shaopeng and the guards unit cavalry appeared on the distant Street again.
His killing intent grew stronger, and there were more blood stains on his body. It was obvious that the pursuers that Huo Jingtian had brought were already finished.
“Reporting to the commander, the rebel army has been annihilated. The guards unit has killed 1073 people and the rest have been captured! The head of the rebel general Huo Jingtian is here!”
Song shaopeng got down from his horse and picked up a head that was still bleeding.
It was the Lord of Yunying city, Huo Jingtian, who was trying to please Lin Yi.
Lin Yi only took a glance at Huo Jingtian’s head and didn’t pay any more attention to it,””How are the guards unit’s losses?”
He didn’t even need to ask-with just a scan, he knew that there were many casualties.
“Commander, the guards unit has 41 dead, 23 heavily injured, light injuries … No statistics!”
Song shaopeng was a bit ashamed. He had brought 700 people to fight, and nearly 10% of them were seriously injured or dead. Although it was not worth mentioning compared to the casualties of the enemy, it could be considered a big victory anywhere!
However, compared to the previous battles under Lin Yi’s leadership, the difference was huge!
In this battle of killing a thousand people in front of the prison, the guards unit did not have a single injury, a complete victory!
Looking back, the ambush in fire sickle city and the ambush in duojuan city-under Lin Yi’s leadership, they faced enemies dozens of times more powerful than they were, and the casualties weren’t that high!
“Treat our injured brothers well, and give a proper burial to those who died in battle. Double the compensation! Don’t miss out on any of the merits you should have!”
Lin Yi ordered after a moment of silence.
The guards unit was already in the early stages of a super strong Army, and in the process of growing, casualties were inevitable.
If Lin Yi had led the troops, he might have been able to keep them alive, but he wasn’t a babysitter. He couldn’t take care of them forever.
When Lin Yi left in the future, the guards unit would still have to face this!
“Thank you, Marshal!”
Song shaopeng expressed his gratitude for the dead and wounded soldiers, and also for the living soldiers.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. The purpose of the guards unit was to protect Lin Yi.
It was impossible for the Commander-in-Chief to charge at the forefront every time there was a battle. Then what was the point of having the guards unit?
“Castellan Zhang, you’re responsible for taking over Yunying city and dealing with the aftermath. I have commander Zhang and deputy commander song coordinate with you for the time being. I hope you could stabilize the situation in Yunying city as soon as possible!”
Lin Yi turned to Zhang Weibing (Mr. Zhang)-it wasn’t appropriate to address him in private when it came to business.
Zhang Weibing understood this, so he immediately bowed and accepted the order.
“This official will do it right away. I will not disappoint Marshal’s expectations,”
Zhang Yiming and song shaopeng also bowed and agreed. The three of them quickly got into position and began to take over the entire Yunying city.
Huo Jingtian’s confidants knew that this matter was no small matter. They had offended one of the top figures of the entire Hongshang Commandery, Sima Zhongda.
The more timid ones had already packed up their valuables and secretly escaped or hid, while the more daring ones took the initiative to seek refuge with Zhang Weibing, hoping to redeem themselves by doing good deeds. If they were lucky, they could even retain their original positions.
Yunying city gradually returned to the right track amidst all the chaos. The next morning, the influence left behind by Huo Jingtian had basically been eliminated.
The commoners even felt that it would be better for Zhang Weibing to be the city Lord.
It was almost noon, and Fei daqiang finally arrived at Yunying city with the back of the Army and met up with Lin Yi.
In addition to the provisions and supplies, Fei daqiang actually brought 70 to 80 thousand cattle and sheep.
These weren’t dark spirit beasts, but normal domestic meat.
Lin Yi was dumbfounded at the scene.
Not counting the cows and sheep, just the rations for the 50000 strong Army would be enough to last them for three years!
If he really ate it for three years … It would probably rot, right?
Lin Yi didn’t think that putting Fei daqiang in charge of logistics would cause such a big scene.
Along the way, this guy had recruited more than 25000 troops, which was not a lot, and they were all within the scope of the conscription order.
However, if the logistics, livestock, and craftsmen were all counted as auxiliary troops, this Army would directly exceed 60000!
