Chapter 143: The Weasel Greets the Chicken
These people obviously came here to cause trouble and embarrass themselves.
Although General Qin fought against the Tartars with all his might.
But he was helpless because the officers under his command were of varying quality, and there was also this bastard son of King Rui.
He doesn't do his job all day and just comes out to make trouble.
"Xie Zhong, bring me my knife."
Lin Feng felt that it was not too much for him to kill one of his guards.
Mu Wu, however, held out his hand to stop him: "Brother, please be careful."
"How to be cautious?"
"Well, this matter will pass if you bear with it."
Lin Feng smiled: "Mr. Mu, why do you ask me to be patient?"
Mu Wu suddenly froze.
Zhao Shuo over there was already very impatient.
"What the hell are you hesitating about? If you're scared, just come over here and kneel down to apologize."
Xie Zhong had already picked up Lin Feng's knife at this time.
"General, let me go meet him."
"Save your strength to kill the Tartars. This kind of bastard can't withstand a single blow from me."
Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, pulling the steel knife out of the scabbard.
He made a knife flower in his hand.
It's not for the sake of being cool, it's just for the sake of activities.
Cheng Bing's pupils shrank in shock just by Lin Feng's sword-drawing action.
He is a connoisseur and has real skills, so he can naturally tell the real masters from the fake ones.
He took a deep breath, took a half step back, and focused on waiting for the enemy.
Lin Feng smiled and licked his lips.
Boy, go to hell. It’s your fault that you followed the wrong person.
Just as he took a step forward and before he could draw his knife, he heard someone running in hurriedly at the door of the house.
"Wait a minute, General Lin, the general wants to see you."
The person who came was Qin Fang, his face was red and he looked anxious.
When everyone in the yard heard this, they all shut up.
Zhao Shuo just looked at Qin Fang in confusion, and when he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Du Lisheng.
Lin Feng nodded, glanced at Cheng Bing, threw the knife to Xie Zhong, and strode out of the house with Qin Fang.
The two walked to the street and turned a corner.
Qin Fang patted his chest and said, "Alas, this playboy is really troublesome. Fortunately, I came here early."
Lin Feng asked calmly, "Is this how the general protects him?"
"There's no other way. Prince Rui holds great influence in the imperial court, and the general needs some support."
"You're not solving the fundamental problem. What about tomorrow?"
"I've already spoken to the general. He wants to assign 3,500 soldiers to General Lin and set off tomorrow. Their mission is to hold the Qingshui area, store food and fodder, and supply the border city troops."
"Three thousand five?"
"The general said that General Lin is now the Central Guard, a fourth-rank officer with a full complement of 4,000 men. We are already overstaffed with our current configuration."
Lin Feng nodded.
Qin Fang is not simple, this can be seen from the beginning.
Now it is even more clear that they are definitely Qin Zhong’s nephews, and they are close relatives.
Others didn't believe that he led his troops to kill 1,500 Tatars in battle, but the general was persuaded by Qin Fang.
The reason is simple: the two are related by blood.
"You know a lot of people. Take some strong and durable soldiers tomorrow."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Haha, strong and durable, that's the right word. Don't worry, General."
The two talked as they walked and came to a liquor store.
In such a situation in the border town, the only wine shop that can still open is one with a strong military background.
"Let's have a couple of drinks, and then go back to rest after that guy leaves."
Qin Fang borrowed his father's name and pulled Lin Feng out to avoid disaster.
Of course, Lin Feng realized Qin Fang's intention as soon as he went out.
As for him and Zhao Shuo, the general didn't want to see anyone getting hurt.
They had just taken two sips when they saw Mu Wu and Sun Yang step over the threshold.
"Well, you two guys drank here secretly without calling us, you should be punished, you should be punished."
Lin Feng and Qin Fang quickly stood up and offered their seats with a smile.
Needless to say, Mu Wu must be the general's confidant.
Sun Yang is Qin Zhong's right-hand man.
Qin Fang poured wine for the two of them and stared at Sun Yang.
"General Sun, I wonder if you believe what I said in the lobby today?"
Sun Yang laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"I don't know whether others believe it or not, but I do."
"Oh, can you tell me the reason?"
Sun Yang hooked his finger, signaling Qin Fang to fill his glass.
"I've been in the military since I was a kid. My eyes are very sharp. I can tell the general situation just by looking at the soldiers led by Lin Feng."
Mu Wu also took a sip of wine and said, "I also believe that Lin Feng is not a man of empty talk. The confidence revealed in his words makes me admire him very much."
Sun Yang rushed to say, "Xiao Fangzi, if we didn't trust you, we wouldn't be here to drink tonight."
"Hahaha..."
The four of them smiled, raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Mu Wu's face darkened. "I heard you're leaving tomorrow. I don't think it's right."
The three people heard him speak like this and waited attentively for his next words.
"Alas, Lin Feng, you killed 1,500 Tartars. As you can imagine, it was a huge blow to them. If nothing unexpected happens, the Tartars outside the border town have gone crazy."
Mu Wu paused and said, "So, it is not wise to leave the city tomorrow."
The four of them fell silent.
Lin Feng was also worried.
I can't stay in the border town for long. I still have a lot to do in Qingshui City and Lingdouzi Castle.
Besides, food is in short supply in Zhenxi now, and I have only had a good harvest in Qingshui and Lingdouzi.
This matter soon became known to everyone.
Who is not jealous?
When there is no profit, others can ignore you.
But once there are huge benefits, life and death can be put aside.
"I wonder if the soldiers in the city can still go out to investigate?"
The three of them shook their heads almost at the same time.
The current situation is tense. The Tatars will definitely send out all their troops to blockade the entire border town.
Lin Feng nodded and took the wine glass.
"Forget it, let's drink today and worry about it tomorrow."
"General Lin is free and easy."
"atmosphere."
A few of them laughed and clinked their glasses to drink.
The next day, Lin Feng asked Qin Fang to take Lin Qiaomei, Li Donglai and several team leaders to the military camp to select soldiers.
General Qin's order has been issued.
Because of the meritorious service of Lin Feng, the Central Guard General, in delivering food and killing thousands of Tartars in battle, he was specially promoted to the position of General of the Zhenxi Prefecture Army, leading 4,000 troops to garrison Qingshui County.
Many experienced middle-level military officers came to congratulate him.
And revealed his willingness to follow Lin Feng.
They all heard from their subordinates that the army brought by Lin Feng was well-equipped, well-fed, well-dressed, and had sufficient and timely military pay.
Besides, the people in the border town are currently struggling to find food.
On the other side of the clear water, there is a good harvest.
Regardless of whether it is dangerous or not, people have to eat first.
In the words of these officers, whether you live or not, it’s okay to eat first and then die.
However, it was easy to decide who could follow Lin Feng as a soldier, but it was not up to Lin Feng to decide who could follow him as an officer.
It was with great difficulty that these officers were sent away.
Normally, it would take Qin Fang and others at least a day to select people. Lin Feng estimated that it would take at least a day.
Unexpectedly, they all came back just after noon.
At this time, General Du Lisheng of the Fu Army also came to congratulate him and brought a lot of gifts.
"Hahaha, General Lin, congratulations."
Du Lisheng laughed loudly and stepped over the threshold.
Lin Feng was very surprised. This person looked so arrogant yesterday, but he looked different today.
The weasel is wishing a happy new year to the chicken.
