In the end, he suppressed the impulse.
If it weren't for Xiao Lingfang's strategy of luring the beasts to attack each other, Ding Yunyi would probably have become a big worry for him!
Fortunately, Yin Aoting was not smart enough and was scared by himself so much that he ran to seize Ding Yunyi's territory. After that, he was like a dog and was slipped away from Huaizhou to Yingnan by Xiahou Jing.
After Yingnan County was captured, Xiahou Jing sent Qin Yuancai to march quickly to capture Huaizhou.
From then on, Xiahou Jing finally felt relieved.
If Yin Aoting does not take the bait, then Xiahou Jing will have to face two ferocious beasts on the east and south sides: Ding Yunyi, who controls the three counties of Yuwan, Yingnan and Xunsang, and Yin Aoting, who controls half of Huaizhou.
For these two beasts, the best strategy is to join forces to resist Xiahou Jing.
However, Yin Aoting destroyed this situation himself, and took advantage of the situation to seize Xunsang while Ding Yunyi was still unable to gain a foothold.
Later, he was lured by Xiahou Jing to capture Yingnan, causing Ding Yunyi to completely turn against him.
"My lord, our army is ready to attack the city." Qin Yuanlie came to Xiahou Jing and reported the situation.
"Well, remember 'be sure to leave a gap when surrounding an army', and leave a loophole on the south side for Yin Aoting. Okay, let's go and capture Yingnan!" Xiahou Jing reminded.
"Yes!" Qin Yuanlie left and commanded the army to attack the city.
After days of siege, Yin Aoting finally had no choice but to open the city and surrender.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I am a first-rank martial master and the best general in the world! As long as you and I join forces, we can unify China!" Yin Aoting, who was tied up tightly with ropes, still looked like a ferocious beast, showing an extremely powerful aura.
Xiahou Jing looked to his left at Ding Yunyi, seeking the advice of the person beside him: "Right General, what do you think?"
"Prime Minister, would you keep a vicious dog that has fed its own master?" Ding Yunchun had no good expression on his face and glared at Yin Aoting who was begging for survival on the ground.
If Yin Aoting had not acted on impulse, perhaps he could have relied on the power of the three counties to compete with Xiahou Jing and provide support for the emperor to restore his power.
It’s a pity that all this was ruined by Yin Aoting, even though Ding Yunyi repeatedly sent envoys to persuade him!
"Ding Yunyi! I, Yin Aoting, am a fierce tiger no matter what, and you actually dare to compare me to a dog!" Yin Aoting gritted his teeth, wishing he could break free from his restraints and kill Ding Yunyi who insulted him.
When Xiahou Jing heard this metaphor, he couldn't help laughing.
"A vicious dog... Haha, interesting."
"Kill Yin Aoting. He's a traitor who betrayed the Red Dynasty."
"It's just the right time to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, to serve as a warning to others!"
"Someone, get started!"
Qin Yuanlie and several powerful generals personally pulled Yin Aoting out, but even so they almost couldn't control the beast.
"Ding Yunyi! I will not let you go even after I die!" Yin Aoting was dragged out, cursing all the way.
A generation of heroes who fought for the Central Plains perished.
On the other side, Murong Ming from the north was taken to Lu Ganyue's tent.
Murong Ming's hair was disheveled and his body was covered with scars.
"Murong Ming, we finally captured you!" Lu Ganyue stood up excitedly, looking at his defeated general with a haughty look. "The court values your ability and has appointed you to guard Yanzhou. This is a favor to you, no matter how you look at it."
"Yet you harbor ulterior motives, disregarding Your Majesty's grace and secessionist ambitions."
"Tell me! Do you know your guilt?"
Listening to Lu Ganyue's condemnation, Murong Ming laughed instead of getting angry: "Lu Ganyue, there is only one emperor in this Chi Dynasty, and that is Emperor Chihui, the eldest son of the late emperor!"
"Ding Xiaoyu, whom you supported, is nothing more than a puppet in your hands. How can he be worthy of the title 'Your Majesty'?"
"You are the traitors who are rebelling against the imperial court!"
Lu Ganyue was furious. He drew his weapon and placed his sword next to Murong Ming's neck. "Traitor, you are still stubborn even after all this!"
"Your life or death depends on this general!"
"If you confess your guilt and have your men submit to the court, this general might be able to spare your life!"
Murong Ming continued to laugh, not taking the other person's words to heart at all: "What a joke! My subordinates are all loyal to the Red Dynasty, how could they surrender to the traitor!"
"Go ahead and kill me, General. As a defeated general, I've already prepared myself for death!"
"This general has defended Yanzhou against foreign invaders for many years. His merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. It is not your turn as a traitor to judge!"
After saying that, Murong Ming closed his eyes and no longer looked at Lu Ganyue.
Seeing this, Lu Ganyue became even angrier. He retracted his sword and ordered his men to drag Murong Ming out and execute him immediately.
"My lord, please calm down. There is no need to get yourself hurt by this rebellious villain." Gong Jize tried to calm Lu Ganyue down.
"Hmph... Don't worry, I am the general of the Chi Dynasty. How could I take such a small matter to heart!" Lu Ganyue said that he didn't care, but the anger in his heart still did not subside.
He even felt that it was too easy for Murong Ming to be beheaded, and he should not be allowed to die so easily!
Murong Ming's army lost many of his best soldiers and generals, and even forced him into death at one point.
Even if he died, Murong Ming's remaining subordinates would probably continue to resist Lu Ganyue, which would make it difficult for Lu Ganyue.
Just when Lu Ganyue was having a headache about this, good news came.
"Report to the lord, Lord Zheng Shennan has found the imperial seal!" a soldier shouted.
After hearing this news, Lu Ganyue’s headache was instantly relieved!
The destiny of the Red Dynasty is now in the hands of Lu Ganyue!
