Chapter 9 Controlling the Army
After nightfall, a full moon hangs in the sky, emitting a soft light.
Military camp, central army tent.
Tonight, desk tables were neatly placed in the tent. On each desk table were filled with rich wine and meat. Wang Yan sat in the main seat in the center, his eyes swept over the arrangement in the tent, and a hint of anticipation rose on his face.
Huang Zhong and Yang He walked in and saluted: "Sir, everything is ready.
Wang Yan said: "Sit down and wait for Zhou Zhen, Yu Xiong and others to attend the banquet."
Huang Zhong and Yang He sat down and waited quietly.
After about a quarter of an hour, a noisy sound came from outside the camp. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong were leading the two sergeant commanders, Shi and other grassroots generals, all entered one after another.
Wang Yan waved his hand and smiled and said, "Centurion Zhou and Centurion Yu are here just in time. The banquet is just ready. Let's sit down."
"No!"
Zhou Zhen waved his hand, and a cold and fierce aura flashed in his eyes.
Wang Yan said: "You are here to go to the banquet, why is this style?"
Zhou Zhen said: "I didn't come to the banquet, but to eliminate the treacherous."
Wang Yan knew that the other party had started to attack, pretended not to know, and asked, "Where are the treacherous?"
Zhou Zhen said coldly: "Wang Yan, don't pretend, you are a treacherous. Do you really think no one knows about Du Fei from Xianla Peak? Humph, I already know about this, and Yu Xiong also knows it."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Centurion Zhou is very powerful, you can find out such things."
Zhou Zhen said: "If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself. Wang Yan, the county magistrate treats you well, but you collude with rebel bandits and harm the people of Nancheng County. The crime is unforgivable. Today, I want to eliminate harm for the people."
Wang Yan said: "There is no evidence to speak, what about the evidence?"
Zhou Zhen waved his hand and threw out a piece of cloth on the ground, looking arrogant: "Look at it for yourself."
Yang He hurriedly picked it up and handed it to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan took a rough look and recorded in detail the evidence of the soldiers in the army against Wang Yan on the cloth. Such evidence is naturally untenable, but once Zhou Zhen killed Wang Yan, it will eventually become ironclad evidence.
Wang Yan tsk twice and said, "Centurion Zhou is such a good method."
"On average, average!" Zhou Zhen raised his head and shouted: "Come."
"I'm in a humble position!"
The two sergeant stood up, stood with a cold look on their faces.
Zhou Zhen shouted: "Wang Yan colluded with the rebels and had a ill intention. I will be ordered to take down Wang Yan. Those who dare to resist or block them will be killed without mercy."
"promise!"
The two sergeant answered in unison and walked towards Wang Yan.
"If you don't die, you won't die."
Wang Yan shook his head gently, and saw that Huang Zhong was already standing in front of Wang Yan, blocking the coming commander.
A hint of fear appeared between Zhou Zhen's eyebrows and shouted: "Huang Zhong, Wang Yan should be punished for his crime. If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy. I will give you a chance and get out of here immediately."
Huang Zhong said disdainfully: "I don't know it until the end of death, I'm idiot."
Zhou Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes looked around. Seeing that there were people around him, he snorted: "Huang Zhong, bluffing is useless. Since you are obsessed with it, you can't blame me."
"Zhou Zhen, you should be stubborn. You can't blame me for being ruthless." Wang Yan stood up proudly and shouted: "Where are the soldiers?"
"I'm in a humble position!"
A uniform sound rushed in from both sides of the big tent.
Soldiers stood solemnly.
Under the candlelight, the steel knife in the soldier's hand flashed with coldness. Originally, Zhou Zhen, Yu Xiong and his people surrounded Wang Yan, but in a blink of an eye, Wang Yan's people surrounded Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong.
Zhou Zhen was stunned and murmured: "You, you, why are you?"
Wang Yan said: "How could I set up an ambush in advance, right?"
"yes!"
Zhou Zhen pursed his lips, his expression was ferocious and frightened.
Wang Yan said: "During the daytime, I tied you to wooden stakes and deliberately humiliated you, just for now. I have already expected that you will act at night, so I will wait for you early."
Zhou Zhen's body trembled, his eyes full of fear.
Unexpectedly, all his actions were expected by the other party early.
Zhou Zhen said in a deep voice: "The success and the success and the defeat of the enemy, kill me."
Yu Xiong's face was full of fear, he pursed his lips, his expression was dark, but he had a hint of hope. In his heart, he still hoped that Wang Yan could briskly and bypass them once.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "How could I kill you? I just took office and it is not suitable for killing."
"Huh! Huh!"
Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and noticed the chance of survival.
Huang Zhong knew Wang Yan’s plan and was full of admiration for Wang Yan’s plan. But now, Wang Yan wants to let the tiger return to the mountain, which is definitely a woman’s kindness.
Once Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Sir, if you don't die when you hit a tiger, you will be injured by a tiger. Please think twice."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen glared at Huang Zhong fiercely and promised: "I don't know Mount Tai, please forgive me. Today's affairs were all because Bei Zhi was blind and dared to do such a thing."
Yu Xiong also said: "The affairs of the magistrate and the county magistrate will never be interfered with."
At this moment, both of them just wanted to pass this level in front of them.
Wang Yan said: "So, are you forging evidence to slander me and Du Xian colluding with me?"
"Yes, yes, it's done by a humble job."
Zhou Zhen did not dare to say more, so he agreed directly.
"The answer is very good, but unfortunately, you are Yan Su's people and are destined to die." Wang Yan's eyes fell on Zhou Zhen and the person behind Yu Xiong, and said, "Whoever kills Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong, I will let you replace them. If you don't do anything, then you will be buried with Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong."
In an instant, Zhou Zhen's expression changed drastically.
Wang Yan's move was really too ruthless.
"ah!"
With a scream, Zhou Zhen felt a pain in his back. A sergeant drew his sword and pierced Zhou Zhen's back. The tip of the knife pierced the heart, making a fatal blow.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiong groaned again and was stabbed into the heart by a sergeant.
In the blink of an eye, all the two mighty men in the barracks died.
Huang Zhong was even more shocked when he saw what happened in front of him.
I thought that Wang Yan would let Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong go, but I didn't expect that Wang Yan had already had a plan to deal with it.
Only Wang Yan's method is a real ruthless move.
If Wang Yan asked Huang Zhong's men to kill Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong, then Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong's soldiers would likely cause trouble. Now, Wang Yan asked Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong's confidants to take action, forcing these people to a dead end, so that they could only follow Wang Yan.
Such methods made Huang Zhong secretly scream.
Wang Yan looked at the sergeant who killed Zhou Zhen and asked, "What's your name?"
"Harewell Li Yuan!" Li Yuan replied.
Wang Yan looked at another person who killed Yu Xiong and said, "What's your name?"
"I am humble in power, Tang Meng!" Tang Meng replied.
Wang Yan ordered: "From now on, you will take over the positions of Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong. Yang He will take over the documents I placed on the desk and ask Li Yuan and Tang Meng to sign and press their fingerprints."
"promise!"
Yang He turned around and picked up the documents from the desk, and then brought the inkstone.
Li Yuan knew how to read. When he saw the contents of the document, he couldn't help swallowing and was even more afraid of Wang Yan. The contents of the document were very simple, which was to prove the evidence of Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong colluding with Du Xian. Once Li Yuan pressed his fingerprints, he could only obey Wang Yan's command.
The current situation was not allowed to resist Li Yuan, so he had to press his fingerprints honestly.
Tang Meng couldn't read the big words, but he knew that if he killed Yu Xiong, he could only follow Wang Yan, otherwise there would be no other way to go. Therefore, he directly pressed his fingerprints.
Then, the rest of the people who followed Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong were also asked to press their fingerprints.
Wang Yan glanced over everyone present and said in a deep voice: "I am the county magistrate and in charge of the army. As long as you obey the orders, I will naturally let you have a good life. If you have two hearts, Zhou Zhen and Yu Xiong will end up."
"Mr. Li Yuan, pay homage to the Lord."
Li Yuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed and bowed.
"I am not good at Tang Meng, pay homage to the Lord."
Tang Meng followed him and kowtowed to salute.
