Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 272 Weiyuan City

Weiyuan is a big city and occupies a very important position in the west area of ​​the town. If we can capture this city, we can confront the provincial capital.

I heard that Yu Minwen, the magistrate of Weiyuan County, is a smart official.

Lin Feng felt that it was a bit too arbitrary to classify them as an enemy right from the start.

Perhaps this person can recognize the current situation and join my team, and he will be able to take on important tasks.

He wanted to take a gamble, just relying on his twenty riders, to see if Yu Minwen dared to turn against him and attack him.

Of course, he was still somewhat confident.

According to intelligence, Yu Minwen is an orthodox Jinshi of the Dazong Dynasty and should be loyal to the Dazong court, not the Commander-in-Chief Su Qian.

Besides, he had more than 10,000 elite soldiers stationed in Qingshui.

If Yu Minwen dared to attack him, he would be killed instantly.

Lin Feng was fully confident that his men would reduce Weiyuan to ashes within three days.

This is the advantage of having territory and an army.

I feel confident.

The heavy city gate slowly opened a crack.

Lin Feng brought twenty riders and horses and happily stepped into Weiyuan County.

Despite repeated wars, Weiyuan County is still well organized.

There are not many pedestrians on the street.

The people passing by all had indifference on their faces.

But everyone looked pale and thin, and their clothes were tattered.

When he saw Lin Feng's cavalry, he did not show the panic he should have.

Yu Minwen and Peng Bin came down from the city wall to welcome them.

He bowed from a distance and said, "I have heard of General Lin's great name for a long time. It is indeed extraordinary to meet him today. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Lin Feng dismounted from his horse and bowed with a smile.

"Lord Yu, General Peng, I have heard of your names for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"General Lin, please come to the county government office for a detailed discussion."

Yu Minwen was a pragmatic official. He didn't say much polite words and took Lin Feng and others to the county government office.

He admired Lin Feng's courage from the bottom of his heart.

In the Zhenxi Protectorate, he had such a quarrel with the commander-in-chief, yet he still dared to enter the city with only 20 guards.

I don't know if it's reckless or if he really has the ability.

Outside the Weiyuan County Government Office, there were already countless soldiers standing around with weapons.

Not far away, there were many war cavalrymen, watching eagerly.

However, according to careful observation by Lin Feng and others.

These soldiers of the government army all looked as if they were not full, although they stood straight with solemn expressions.

However, the armor on his body was rusty and even a little messy.

Thin cheeks and dull eyes.

All of this shows the actual situation of food and clothing shortage in Weiyuan.

Looking at Lin Feng’s twenty cavalry guards, they have bright armor and ride on majestic war horses. Everyone is in perfect spirit and full of energy, looking very majestic.

This made the Weiyuan Prefecture troops feel a little ashamed.

Especially the captain Peng Bin, who couldn't help but praise Lin Feng in his heart when he saw his soldiers' neat posture.

They are indeed elite soldiers who can fight against the Tartar cavalry.

Yu Minwen invited Lin Feng and others to sit in the lobby.

The servant brought up some clean water.

"General Lin, the soldiers and civilians of Weiyuan are short of food and clothing. Please make do with what you have."

"Master Yu is too polite. The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, and pure water is the best way to treat guests."

Yu Minwen's eyes lit up.

"It turns out that General Lin is well-read. I admire him."

It's no wonder he was surprised, according to the information they had gathered.

The Lin Feng in front of him is an archer at the Lingdouzi Beacon Tower and a farmer from Lingdouzi Village.

The person who can say such words is obviously well-educated.

Lin Feng signaled with his eyes, and Zhao Shuo and Chu Jiao each found a stool to sit on.

Xie Zhong stood behind Lin Feng, while Cheng Liang and Wen Jian stood on both sides of the lobby door.

Yu Minwen, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the two of them strangely.

Anyone who can sit in front of Lin Feng is definitely not an ordinary guard.

"General Lin, I wonder if these two..."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce him to Master Yu. This is Zhao Shuo, the Marquis of Champion, bestowed by His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Yu Minwen's pupils shrank.

Damn, how come there is such an important person hiding among the guards?

Before his surprised face recovered, he heard Lin Feng continue speaking.

"This is General Chu Jiao Chu."

Yu Minwen frowned. Lin Feng would not introduce a general under his command for no reason.

Chu Jiao?

This name is familiar, could it be...

Without thinking too much, I quickly stood up and bowed.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Zhao and General Chu."

Zhao Shuo didn't even stand up, just waved his hand.

"Very well, very well. Sir Yu, please don't be polite. Sit down and talk."

The Dazong Dynasty had a strict hierarchical system, with clear distinctions between superiors and subordinates.

As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

When facing a marquis of a great dynasty, even the commander-in-chief Su Qian had to bow and meet him.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Qian warned Du Lisheng not to take action against Lin Feng in the provincial capital.

Rat-proof device.

However, this hierarchy was greatly reduced in the remote Zhenxi area during the chaos of war.

If it were in Kyoto, a county magistrate would probably have to kneel down and pay his respects to the marquis.

Peng Bin also bowed.

Then the two of them nodded at Chu Jiao with smiles on their faces.

It is no secret in Zhenxi that Chu Jiao is the niece of General Su Qian.

All officials are familiar with it.

However, Yu Minwen secretly grumbled, why did General Su turn against Lin Feng and fight with him, while his niece Chu Jiao stayed by Lin Feng's side.

Which song is this from?

Seeing that County Magistrate Yu was stunned and speechless, Peng Bin quickly spoke.

"General Lin, I heard that the Tartar cavalry were intercepting us everywhere. I wonder how you managed to avoid them?"

Zhao Shuo sneered, "What do you mean by avoiding them? They should be avoiding us, okay?"

Yu Minwen quickly asked, "Oh, what do you mean?"

"We fought a battle with the Tartar cavalry a hundred miles from here. We killed two thousand Tartars and sent them fleeing in all directions, leaving behind nearly a thousand corpses. That scene... hehe."

Zhao Shuo was beaming with joy as he spoke of this.

Peng Bin stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

He just kept laughing.

It was obvious that he was just trying to please Zhao Shuo and didn't take it seriously.

If the soldiers in Zhenxi heard what Zhao Shuo said, no one would believe it.

They were only four or five hundred cavalrymen, facing two thousand Tartar cavalrymen, and they killed them and made them flee in panic?

This is probably a wish that can only be realized in dreams.

Especially Peng Bin, as a captain of a thousand men, he had fought with the Tatars more than once.

However, I have a deep understanding of the ferocity of the Tartars.

Chu Jiao saw the expressions of Yu Peng and the others and knew that they were just dealing with them.

"My Lords, I can testify that General Lin did indeed kill and disperse two thousand Tartar cavalrymen."

Yu Minwen and Peng Bin looked at each other and praised together.

"Well, you are indeed a hero. I admire you!"

These words were said in a dry voice, without any admiration in sight.

Zhao Shuo stopped talking, feeling it was very boring. He told the truth, but no one believed him.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Haha, let's not talk about this. This time, I passed by Weiyuan and just wanted to chat with Master Yu."

Yu Minwen quickly said, "General Lin, please speak."

"Seeing the current situation in Weiyuan, we're facing a food crisis within ten days. I wonder what Lord Yu's plans are?"

"Well, to be honest with you, General Lin, right now, people are starving to death every day in Weiyuan County. We are extremely short of food. The Tartars have been appearing frequently recently, and we are helpless."

Peng Bin was a military general who spoke bluntly.

"General Lin, Qingshui is rich in food and fodder. Could you temporarily dispatch some to relieve the crisis in Weiyuan?"

Lin Feng took a glass of water, took a sip, and remained silent.

You said to adjust the grain, so we adjust the grain?

There has to be an explanation.
