Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 303 Dare to Start a War

Nalan shook his head: "It's impossible for a silver-armored warrior to die so easily."

Bi Lan said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily. We have all suffered at the hands of Lin Feng, so it is better to be careful."

Na Lan said fiercely, "I've already written to the clan and my aunt. Someone will come and take care of Lin Feng. Only one of him and I can survive."

Wanyan Qingtian had already thought of retreating, but when he heard Nalan say this, he felt a little relieved.

I secretly planned to wait for people from the tribe to come and see the situation before making any decisions.

The most embarrassed person now is Cui Yong, the general of the border army.

His camp was also isolated from the hinterland of Zhenxi by the line from the border town to Weiyuan.

Originally, the food and fodder supply for the border army camp was provided by the Zhenxi Protectorate.

However, Lin Feng took over the border town, leaving the commander-in-chief Su Qian almost without any troops.

It was impossible for him to provide food and fodder to the border troops.

If the border troops wanted to collect grain in the hinterland of Zhenxi, they had to pass through Lin Feng's territory.

The relationship between the two has reached a freezing point, so how could they allow his troops to enter their territory at will?

Cui Yong also thought about bypassing Weiyuan County and entering the hinterland of Zhenxi.

But not only was the journey twice as long, but without the cooperation of Commander-in-Chief Su Qian, no one would supply them with food.

Of course, even so, Cui Yong would not take the initiative to bow his head.

What a joke! He is a general of the frontier army, holding the rank of second grade.

How could we possibly bow to a Chinese leader?

However, there are still nearly 40,000 troops in the border army camp. Without food and fodder supplies, mutiny is inevitable.

They faced the same dilemma as the Tatars.

Cui Yong heard that the governor of the prefecture, Su Qian, and Du Lisheng had colluded with the Tartars and framed Qin Zhong.

Although it was just hearsay, any discerning person could infer some inside information from what happened.

Cui Yong summoned Song Yi, military advisor Mo Yong, Zhenjun General Kong Jin, Wei General Li Yu and several other senior border army generals.

They gathered in the central military tent to discuss how to get out of the current predicament.

Cui Ying has returned to the border army camp and personally served tea to the senior border army generals.

After what happened with Qiao Jun, Cui Ying matured a lot.

But his face looked haggard and he looked lost.

She put down the tea tray, stood behind her father, and listened quietly.

General Cui talked about the current situation and hoped that all the generals would share their opinions.

Song Yi was the first to speak.

"General, we can't indulge Lin Feng. In my opinion, we can concentrate our forces, pass through Bin County, capture Weiyuan, and break his blockade."

Kong Jin also agreed: "As long as we take Weiyuan, we can push Lin Feng to the front line, and we won't have to worry about supplies."

Li Yu went even further and pointed at the map.

"General, it would be best to capture Qingshui County as well, isolating Lin Feng between the three parties. He will have a hard time surviving."

Cui Yong frowned and said nothing.

Cui Ying couldn't help but asked softly.

"How are the Tartars supposed to resist if we fight like this?"

Song Yi is most familiar with Cui Ying, so she dares to speak.

"General Cui, has Lin Feng ever thought about us? Without food and fodder, our border troops will be scattered."

"But there must be other ways, or we can discuss it with Lin Feng..."

"Hahaha...discuss with Lin Feng? Who does he think he is? In front of the general, he is just a small lieutenant commander."

Song Yi pointed to the central military tent.

"He is not even qualified to enter this place."

Cui Ying still argued unconvinced.

"Lin Feng is the Viscount Qingshui, bestowed by the imperial court. We are simply discussing with him how to supply the border troops, so he shouldn't refuse."

Song Yi wanted to say something more, but Cui Yong stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Ying'er, you go out first."

"father."

"Here, I am the general."

Seeing his father's stern expression, Cui Ying dared not say anything more and could only lower his head and retreat.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Song Yi continued to persuade.

"General, we must make a decisive move. Taking Weiyuan is our best way out."

Cui Yong turned his gaze to Mo Yong.

Mo Yong coughed quickly.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about the combat effectiveness of the Qingshui Army?"

Song Yi stood up immediately.

"I don't deny their fighting power, but don't forget, we have nearly 40,000 troops. If we attack a county town, I wouldn't say we can capture it immediately. I'm afraid it won't take more than an hour."

Kong Jin was an old soldier, so he naturally understood the reason.

"General, if we take over Bin County and Weiyuan, we can trap Lin Feng and immediately reverse the situation."

Cui Yong's face was as gloomy as water. He lowered his head and stared at the map, speechless for a long time.

"Do you know who is guarding Bin County?"

Song Yi was overjoyed. Cui Yong's question showed that his plan was successful.

"General, the one stationed in Bing County is Li Donglai, with 5,000 men, and the one guarding Weiyuan is Hu Jincai, with 10,000 men."

Cui Yong glanced at him.

"It seems you've done your homework in advance."

"General, I, too, have been worried about the border troops day and night, and have not dared to slack off in the slightest."

"Do you have a detailed plan?"

Song Yi nodded, but said nothing more.

Cui Yong knew that there were many people in the account and they were all gossipy, so it was not appropriate to go into too much detail.

Mo Yong sighed in his heart. It seemed that General Cui had already made up his mind to attack Bing County and Weiyuan.

Civil war is inevitable.

But since I am in the border army, I cannot help but think about the border troops.

"General, all the generals, what we can think of, Lin Feng will not be unable to think of. If we use a surprise attack, I am afraid it will not work."

Cui Yong turned and looked at Mo Yong.

"Oh? Mr. Mo, do you have any good ideas?"

"General, I have an idea, I wonder..."

Song Yi said impatiently: "Just tell me quickly."

"Okay, why don't we abandon the camp, bypass Weiyuan, retreat to the hinterland of Zhenxi, and leave the entire front line to Lin Feng."

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, he continued.

"The benefits of this are obvious. We don't have to fight a civil war, we avoid casualties, we're safer, we don't have to worry about supplies, and we don't have to worry about harassment from the Tartars."

Cui Yong hesitated again for a moment.

He is just like that, easily influenced by others.

In other words, I'm relatively clueless.

Song Yi sneered at this time: "It sounds good, but is Lin Feng a kind person? If we let him continue to grow bigger, it will be too late to deal with us when he turns against us."

Mo Yong said anxiously, "If we don't provoke him, why would we have to deal with him?"

"You haven't messed with him before, look at what he did."

Mo Yong was dissatisfied: "Didn't you provoke him before?"

Song Yi wanted to argue, but was stopped by Cui Yong.

Cui Yong frowned and said, "Alright, let's stop here today. Let me think it over carefully."

Everyone stopped talking, bowed and left the tent.

At this time, Lin Feng had returned to Lingdouzi Castle from the border town. In addition to recruiting craftsmen to continue manufacturing chariots.

He also issued orders to all departments to strengthen military training and strive to ensure that every soldier of the prefectural army meets the standards of the Qingshui Army.

Lin Feng knew that his capture of the border town had made all parties uncomfortable.

There will definitely be people who can't sit still.

The border town opened its gates to attract business and attract people from all walks of life.

This was because the Tatars had retreated from the nearby camp and Su Qian had no soldiers available.

There is no need to worry about anyone attacking the border town.

Cui Yong would not even covet this frontline city.

The most dangerous places for him were several county towns except the border town and Lingdouzi Castle.

Lin Feng stood in front of the sand table of the command center, silently staring at the terrain of several counties. He had been there for half a day.

Bai Jing brought tea over and stood quietly beside him.

Lin Feng suddenly said something.

"Do you think Cui Yong dares to go to war with us?"
