Chapter 1226 My price isn't high
Tokugawa Iemochi wasn't stupid; the person who could enter his command post so silently was definitely a master.
He had heard that the Atsumi Akiyama family was not simple, but he never expected them to be this complicated.
"After his defeat, Atsumi Akiyama led his troops into the Zhenxi Army, and his current fate is unknown."
Atsumi Yukinosuke sighed, "You're going to lose too."
"I still have 30,000 troops under my command, and it is still unknown who will emerge victorious."
Tokugawa Iemochi lacked confidence.
"Judging from the situation inside the city, in two more days, the army will definitely break out of camp, and this battle will surely be lost."
If even a newcomer can see the problem, how could Tokugawa Iemochi not know the seriousness of the matter?
"I already have a battle plan; there's no need for you to remind me."
"Well, I don't need to remind you. You know better than anyone that even if you have a plan, how can hungry soldiers defeat their opponents?"
Tokugawa Iemochi sneered, "There's an old saying among the generals: 'A desperate army is bound to win.' Have you ever heard of it?"
"That's called a death throes."
Tokugawa Iemochi stared menacingly at Atsumi Konosuke.
"I suspect you are a spy for the Zhenxi Army. Do you know how our Great Unity nation punishes spies?"
Atsumi Konosuke said calmly, "If I were a spy for the Grand Company, why would I waste my breath talking to you? Your corpse would probably be cold by now."
Tokugawa Iemochi regained his senses from his rage.
"How are you going?"
Atsumi Konosuke walked to the desk and looked down at the map spread out on the table.
"I've helped you eliminate their leader. Now that the Zhenxi Army is leaderless, are you confident you can win?"
Tokugawa Iemochi stopped abruptly, staring blankly at Atsumi Konosuke.
Are you telling the truth?
Atsumi Konosuke ignored him.
After a moment, he came to his senses, his body bent at a ninety-degree angle, his voice trembling slightly.
"The Tokugawa family... no, the Emperor will thank you for your assistance; you will surely be remembered in history."
Atsumi Konosuke waved his hand: "Don't give me that. I just need your cooperation to avenge my daughter."
"I understand. I will lead my troops to annihilate the Zhenxi Army."
"Yes, I just want to show them how miserable their fate will be if they dare to kill my daughter."
Atsumi Konosuke's eyes revealed a ruthless glint.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng had run off to the prison in Funing City.
Atsumi Akiyama was pale, her hair was disheveled, and her once bright eyes had dimmed. She looked weak and listless.
Lin Feng also checked the tightness of the steel cable on her body with his hand, worried that it might be too tight and make it difficult for her to breathe.
Atsumi Akiyama ignored Lin Feng, only glancing at him before closing his eyes and falling silent again.
"Sigh, your net worth isn't that great. No one has contacted us yet. Do you have no one left in your family?"
Lin Feng did not receive a response.
Do you have any family members you can contact?
"We can help you deliver a message."
"You've snatched a lot of good stuff in the bulk, so our price won't be too high..."
Lin Feng waited for a long time but still received no response from Atsumi Akiyama, so he could only shake his head, get up and leave the cell.
Pei Qiyin stood outside the door and saw Lin Feng come out, so she asked cautiously.
"Is there any result?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Let's wait a few more days. If there's still no movement, then let's not let her suffer here."
"what do you mean..."
"That's exactly what you mean."
The two stopped talking and silently left the damp and dark prison.
They came to the streets of the city and saw squads of soldiers patrolling, full of vigor and high spirits.
"Send someone to inform Lao Hu that the pirates will probably make a move in the next couple of days, so we must be careful to guard against their fierce counterattack."
"Your Highness, what do you think the pirates will do?"
Lin Feng laughed and said, "There are two paths: either retreat from Ganqing Prefecture and return to the sea, or go all out and fight back."
"Perhaps they are waiting for a supply ship."
"What a joke! Not to mention our six warships blocking the river mouth, how are those two hundred water ghosts supposed to defend themselves?"
"Hmm, it really is unsolvable, but..."
Pei Qiyin frowned as she pondered.
"Your Highness, do you think they might bypass the Zhenxi Army's main camp and launch a counterattack inland?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Unless he's gone mad."
"why?"
Lin Feng glanced at Pei Qiyin.
"Don't you understand? Between Ganqing Prefecture and Funing Prefecture, there are such vast fields, without even a single fortified city. For them to send their troops in is tantamount to suicide."
"But there are so many of them."
Imagine a group of starving soldiers charging into the vast wilderness on foot...
Pei Qiyin laughed: "It really is quite tragic, the imagery is vivid."
Lin Feng sighed, "Alas, it's better for a person to stay still when they're hungry, but if they're forced to go to the battlefield, the consequences will be unimaginable."
“I think they would be better off heading south out of the city, into the Mi River, and drifting downstream to the estuary. Maybe they can leave Dazong alive.”
"That would truly be like a drowning dog...hehehe."
The two talked as they returned to the command post in Funing City.
Pei Qiyin also turned around to convey Lin Feng's orders.
Lin Feng went behind his desk and began to ponder the map.
Pei Qiyin had just reminded him that no matter what judgment he made in the face of these ferocious pirates, it was not excessive.
If they really scatter 30,000 people into the wilderness between the two prefectures, how should I deal with it?
Before they could come up with a good solution, Pei Qiyin had already brought in dinner.
Steaming hot and fragrant.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready. There's meat today."
Lin Feng looked up at the window, lost in thought, and before he knew it, it was already dark.
"Does everyone get to eat meat, or is it just us who get to eat meat?"
"Of course we have them. There are plenty of wild animals in such a vast field. I had them organize their own people and they caught quite a lot."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "The pirates are trapped in Ganqing Prefecture, and you've become quite bold."
Pei Qiyin sighed, "What fertile land! It's such a waste that no one cultivates it."
As she spoke, she had already tidied the table and set out the food.
Lin Feng sat down, took the towel Pei Qiyin handed him, and wiped his hands.
"Once we drive the pirates out, how to bring in people will be another problem."
Pei Qiyin blinked: "And what about the Taisho side? They're having a tough time resisting too. I wonder how things will turn out."
Lin Feng picked up his rice bowl and shoveled a mouthful into his mouth.
"I'll just cook them all in one pot then."
"I just love seeing the prince's heroic spirit."
Lin Feng picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and brought it close to his eyes to examine it carefully.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"Hmm, it's probably a rabbit, since there are the most rabbits in the wild."
Lin Feng nodded and was about to put the meat in his mouth when suddenly, the broken sword on his lower back began to twitch.
Lin Feng was not flustered. He was prepared for this. He had become the target of the reclusive sects and sooner or later someone would come knocking on his door.
These things are impossible to eradicate completely.
After all, I broke their rules.
Lin Feng didn't get up either, but just raised his chin at Pei Qiyin.
"Avoid them and tell them not to stop anyone from entering."
Pei Qiyin was very obedient. Knowing that something had happened that was beyond the reach of the guards, she quickly got up and left the room.
Lin Feng was the only one left in the room. A lantern hung in the corner of the room. The room was not large, but it was fairly well-lit.
Lin Feng chewed his food slowly, slowed his breathing, and calmed his mind.
