Chapter 124 What does it have to do with me?
Lin Feng waited until the people had finished shouting and calmed down a little.
"There are still two thousand border troops in front of us. If you all leave, who will defend Qingshui City?"
"The border troops are nothing. I only brought one team to disperse them."
Li Donglai said excitedly.
Bai Jing sneered, "Thirty people against two thousand? You don't have the power of the Tartars."
"I've already killed dozens of Tartars. Isn't this evil spirit enough to make them piss on me?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the border troops. They are weak against the Tartars, but they still have some fighting power against our own people. Don't be careless."
Lin Feng's prestige was unquestionable. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shut up.
"Well, before the border troops arrive, Wang Qian and Hu Jincai, each of you will take two hundred cavalry and rush to the aid of Lingdouzi Castle."
Wang Qian and Hu Jincai bowed in response.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Go quickly, remember, don't be careless."
The two nodded, turned around and strode out of the house.
Qin Fang was a little anxious: "General Lin, there are a total of 700 troops in the city, and more than half of them are gone. How can we fight from now on?"
Lin Feng sat back in his chair, tapping the armrests with his fingers.
"Haha, that was just a passing remark. The border troops...are really worthless."
Bai Jing asked worriedly, "Brother, are we openly making enemies with the border troops?"
"Let's see what their attitude is. Otherwise, I won't just sit there and wait for death."
"Judging from their actions, the stories about Wei Zhen being trapped and food supplies being robbed are all fake."
"It's not necessarily fake. The Tartar attack on the castle is also real. Someone leaked the information to the Tartars, and then used this real intelligence to make the investigation."
Lin Feng analyzed.
"But he didn't expect that Brother wouldn't go to rescue Wei Zhen?"
"I don't know who Wei Zhen is, but those twenty carts of food and fodder are indeed something that makes people interested."
Bai Jing smiled and said, "It can be seen that the person who designed this game is still a little bit lacking."
Lin Feng shook his head.
"It's not his fault. If only the two thousand border troops had been more patient, I'm afraid this plan would have succeeded."
Qin Fang exclaimed in surprise, "General Lin, are you planning to go and rescue Wei Zhen?"
"Wei Bao is already on his way. If he reports that Wei Zhen is indeed trapped and that there are indeed twenty carts of food and fodder, then..."
Qin Fang immediately took over the conversation: "Then General Lin will split his troops into two groups, one to rescue Wei Zhen, and the other to support the castle."
"Haha, Qingshui has become a ghost town."
Zhang Changyou laughed and said, "I wonder who is leading the border troops this time? What an idiot."
"Li Yu?"
"There's no way Cui Yong would lead the army again. The loss of troops and generals last time probably hasn't gone away yet."
Bai Jing interrupted, "No matter who leads the army, they are always impatient."
Lin Feng rubbed his cheeks.
"This is a well-designed plan. They are colluding with the Tartars and want to completely wipe us out. How cruel."
Feeling that the room was a little quiet, Lin Feng looked at everyone strangely.
I found that they all looked a little dazed.
"what happened?"
Qin Fang bowed and said, "General, you are truly a god. You can analyze everything so clearly."
Li Donglai also rushed to say: "Boss, I have always admired you. Lu Sihuai is simply a country bumpkin among country bumpkins."
Seeing that others also wanted to speak, Lin Feng quickly waved his hand.
"Stop, stop. What I said before was just speculation. Don't take it seriously. Let's wait and see how things develop. I'm not that smart. I'm just guessing. It's pure guesswork."
After saying that, he didn't give them a chance to speak anymore and his face turned serious.
"Let everyone gather in the city and activate the defenses, immediately."
Upon hearing the order, everyone immediately took action, went out, gathered their own teams, and rushed to the defensive positions on the city wall.
These action plans are all part of peacetime training. Once war breaks out, the soldiers will act in an orderly and swift manner.
Lin Feng was very confident in the combat capabilities of the border troops.
A combat force of more than 300 people, plus defensive weapons.
Four catapults and a dozen crossbow carts.
Even if there were two thousand more border troops, it would probably be difficult to break through the Qingshui city gate.
Lin Feng stood on the city wall, looking at the large group of people slowly moving towards this side in the distance.
"Bai Jing, do you think it would be fun if I took two hundred-man teams and charged at them?"
"Brother, please calm down. You seem to be happy, but we haven't officially turned against the border troops yet, okay?"
"They both know it in their hearts, but they just pretend it."
"That's only until they can't help themselves."
"Oh, I really want to destroy the prestige of these rookies."
"Brother, there will definitely be a chance."
The two talked in low voices.
Half an hour later, the two thousand border troops stopped one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall.
The team in front was lined up in a row, and a war horse rushed out from the middle and went straight to the trench.
"Is that Centurion Lin Fenglin on the city wall?"
Qin Fang smiled and said, "They still treat you as one of their own."
"I'm Lin Feng, who are you?"
"Han Zhongwen and Lin Feng, flag officers of the Zhenxi Frontier Army, are now conveying General Cui's order to you."
"Well, you said."
Han Zhongwen took out a scroll from the document bag on his back and unfolded it immediately.
"I've heard that Lin Feng, the centurion of the third cavalry unit of the Bingzi Battalion, led his men in killing hundreds of Tartars, a remarkable feat. Therefore, I'm promoting Lin Feng to commander of the Bingzi Battalion, giving him the title of Eagle General, a fifth-rank rank. He'll also be generously rewarded with hundreds of fertile fields, gold, and silver. The Grand General of the Western Frontier Army is Cui Yongling."
He read aloud, his voice so loud that people on and off the city walls could hear it clearly.
Qin Fang was a little nervous and looked at Lin Feng's expression.
"Boss, don't fall for his trick."
"I'm just a three-year-old child?"
Lin Feng glanced at Qin Fang with disdain.
Han Zhongwen put away the scroll and took out another piece of paper from the file bag.
"Order General Lin Feng of the Bingzi Battalion to return to the main camp immediately to receive the letter of credit and reward. General Zhou Qixiong of the Dingzi Battalion will take over Qingshui County. The Grand General of the Zhenxi Frontier Army will be Cui Yongling."
After reading it, Han Zhongwen held the paper in his hand.
"Lin Feng, did you hear General Cui's order?"
"Hear it very clearly."
Han Zhongwen waved and pointed at the army behind him.
"This expedition is led by General Yang Sanjin of the Border Army. They will use Qingshui City as a base to attack the Tartars. General Lin, please lead your troops out of Qingshui immediately."
After saying that, he looked up at Lin Feng on the city wall, waiting for his answer.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, General, for your recognition and promotion. Lin Feng is very grateful, but..."
As he spoke, he turned and looked at Qin Fang.
"Sir Han, this is Qin Fang, the courageous captain of the 31st Battalion of the Zhenxi Protectorate Army. He is under the orders of General Qin Zhong of the Zhenxi Protectorate Army to garrison Qingshui County. You see, this matter needs to be reported to General Qin for a final decision."
Han Zhongwen was stunned when he heard this. Why were there still government troops here?
General Cui and General Qin are not subordinate to each other and have the same rank.
He rolled his eyes. This was not something he could decide.
He pulled up the reins and turned around and ran back to the team.
The commander of the 2,000-man border army was Yang Sanjin, Li Yu's immediate superior.
Li Yu got into trouble and was still reflecting on his mistakes in seclusion in the camp.
After hearing Han Zhongwen's words, Yang Sanjin was also puzzled.
Lin Feng was a very cunning fellow, and Master Tie suffered losses repeatedly at his hands.
"Let him open the door. I will go and talk to General Qin."
His rank is much higher than Lin Feng and Qin Fang, so he naturally speaks in a tough manner.
Han Zhongwen conveyed Yang Sanjin's words.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I don't agree."
Yang Sanjin was furious after hearing this and personally rode his horse to the front of the trench.
"Lin Feng, you dare to disobey orders, be careful that I will punish you with military law."
"General Yang, it was Qin Fang who disobeyed your orders. What did I have to do with it?"
"Lin Feng, don't try to play tricks on me. Do you think my two thousand men can't break through your city gate?"
Yang Sanjin said viciously.
