Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 420: Unification of the West

The government troops outside the camp also came over from both sides.

Countless Black Scarf Army soldiers were captured and gave up resistance.

Some were squatting on the ground, some were lying on their stomachs, and many were kneeling on the ground.

They were defeated both physically and mentally.

In less than an hour, all kinds of data were sent to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned as he looked at the data. Strangely, he did not see any trace of the border troops.

Cui Yong retreated to the provincial capital at that time, with about 4,000 troops still remaining in the provincial army camp.

"Cheng Liang, go find some Black Turban Army leaders and ask them where the four thousand border troops have gone."

Cheng Liang agreed and left quickly.

Lin Feng looked at the captured Black Scarf Army again, wondering how to deal with these prisoners.

Nearly 30,000 Black Scarf soldiers were captured, two-thirds of them.

What’s funny is that the two leaders of the Black Scarf Army, Feng Ling and Wu Zhutong, are both...

After being knocked to the ground by the shock wave, the war cavalry who were unable to dodge and attack the camp were killed by the horses' hooves.

Later, even the body was torn into pieces and could not be identified.

Two-thirds of the captives amounted to fifteen or sixteen thousand people.

With so many captives, we must not allow them to join the Qingshui army, nor allow them to become citizens of Zhenxi.

Lin Qiaomei was getting impatient and ran to the observation deck, getting close to Lin Feng.

"Brother, can you let me see what's going on down there?"

Lin Feng said nothing and handed her the Clairvoyance in his hand.

"Ah, so many Black Scarf Soldiers are still alive?"

Lin Qiaomei muttered as she watched.

Lin Feng nodded: "There are too many prisoners, how should we deal with them..."

"Brother, these guys are crazy, just bury them all."

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at her.

"Great! Aren't you afraid of ghosts at night?"

"Tsk, if I were afraid, I would still be alive today."

Lin Qiaomei rolled her eyes nonchalantly.

"Okay, go ahead and deal with it. Let them dig their own holes."

Lin Qiaomei clapped her hands: "Brother is really awesome, he made 20,000 yuan in one go."

Lin Feng raised his hand and pointed at her nose.

"Come on, this was your idea."

Lin Qiaomei stood at attention and puffed out her chest: "Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of everything for you."

"Go do your work, why do I need you to carry the burden?"

Lin Qiaomei giggled: "I knew that brother loved me."

After saying that, he turned around and ran down the lookout tower, shouting as he ran.

"Come here, give each of the prisoners a shovel and ask them to dig a hole. Whoever digs the fastest will get a prize."

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This woman really doesn't take human life seriously. I don't know what's going on in her head.

Suddenly, something moved in my heart.

"Dig a hole?"

He held onto the railing of the observation deck and leaned over to take a look down.

"Go, tell them to wait a moment. We have other plans for these prisoners."

Wen Jian immediately turned around and ran away.

When Lin Feng heard the word "dig a hole", he suddenly thought of his own project.

Digging canals to divert water is a huge undertaking, and with no machinery available, it all depends on manual excavation, and they are facing a shortage of manpower.

It would be such a waste to bury so many people.

It would be better to send them all to Xixia to dig canals. They would only be provided with food and drink, without any wages. It would be much cheaper than hiring laborers.

Kill two birds with one stone.

They were just bewitched by the Black Scarf Society, and perhaps after undergoing labor reform, they could become normal citizens.

Lin Qiaomei was excitedly conveying orders and climbing onto the horse's back.

She had to personally supervise the Black Scarf Army to dig a hole for themselves.

As a result, before he took two steps, he was stopped by Wen Jian.

"General Lin, wait a moment."

Lin Qiaomei reined in her horse and turned to look at Wen Jian.

"what happened?"

"The general said that these prisoners should be kept for the time being and dealt with separately."

"Ah? Why do you keep changing your mind?"

Lin Qiaomei jumped off the warhorse while muttering and waved her hands.

"Deal with it yourselves."

Wen Jian had no choice but to convey Lin Feng's order again.

At this point, the entire city was completely taken over by Lin Feng.

Hu Jincai, Li Donglai, Lin Qiaomei and others were sent out one after another.

Each of them brought two thousand elite cavalry and headed straight for the three county towns southeast of the provincial capital.

Lin Feng wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Zhenxi and not give the Black Scarf Army any chance to breathe.

However, according to several leaders of the Black Turban Army, the 4,000 border troops in the provincial army camp only stayed in the camp for less than half a month.

They suddenly disappeared, just like the disappearance of 10,000 government troops a few days ago, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Lin Feng put it behind his mind for the time being.

Zhenxi is an important border town compared to the rest of the country.

Since the imperial court is currently powerless, whoever captures Lin Feng or Su Qian will be the winner.

But to King Fu, Zhenxi was just a piece of chicken ribs and he did not take it too seriously.

Prince Fu's main focus now is on how to attack Kyoto and seize the orthodox throne of the Dazong clan.

According to intelligence, Prince Fu Zhao Zheng's troops have approached Kyoto City.

They were confronting the government troops at the last barrier of Kyoto, a large city known as Lindu.

King Rui also sent people to Lingdouzi Castle twice, begging Lin Feng to lead his troops to Kyoto to support the king and quell the rebellion.

Lin Feng rejected King Rui's request twice on the grounds that the Tartars in Zhenxi were stationed in the territory and he could not spare time.

Emperor Zhao Zhen was at a loss, and his ministers did not even show up.

He was afraid of being implicated, and he didn't know who would sit on the throne. If he stood on the wrong side, not only he but also his family would be doomed.

The court was in chaos, but fortunately there was Prince Rui in control and Grand Tutor Wan Quan outside, who led the troops to fight against Prince Fu.

Although they suffered defeat after defeat, they managed to maintain the safety of Kyoto.

Within a few days, large forces of the Qingshui Army arrived one after another and stationed in the camp outside the city.

The damage here is not too serious. After a little repair, it can become a solid camp again.

He Zhiwu's 10,000-strong government army revered Lin Feng as a god and were willing to accept the reorganization and assessment of the Qingshui Army.

Lin Feng estimated that among the 10,000 government troops, more than half did not meet the requirements of the Qingshui Army. These people would either be sent to serve as engineers or retire to become civilians.

Wen Cheng was transferred to the provincial capital and appointed as prefect.

Chu Shijie was appointed Tongzhi.

Li Hu was transferred to the provincial capital to serve as an inspector.

Chu Jiao returned to Lingdouzi Castle and replaced Li Hu as the leader of the heavy armored battalion.

Qin Fang commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, so how could he know that Wu would assist him?

Lin Feng’s title of General Zhenxi was well-deserved.

The three southeastern counties under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi Protectorate were nominally under the control of King Fu under the coercion of Su Qian and the Black Turban Army.

As soon as Lin Feng's Qingshui Army arrived, the magistrates, county lieutenants and other officials of the three counties immediately opened the city walls and surrendered.

They are all orthodox officials of the great clan, and it is natural for them to return to the court.

I took the wrong path before because I had no choice.

Officials from several counties came to the provincial capital to express their loyalty to Lin Feng.

In fact, the list of these officials and their family backgrounds are already in Lin Feng's hands.

Liu Shuxue also sent a report on his daily conduct and actions as an official.

Lin Feng already had an idea in his mind about who could continue to serve and who was not suitable to be an official.

There is no need to bother investigating further.

All these materials were handed over to Wen Cheng, with his own opinions attached, and he was asked to deal with it.

Wen Cheng participated in the implementation of all the policies they implemented in Qingshui, so he naturally knew how to continue to implement them in the provincial capital.

The entire west side of the town began to be comprehensively rectified and sorted out.

In the command center of Lingdouzi Castle, two men stood opposite Bai Jing.

A man in his forties, with three long wisps of beard and an elegant face.

The other was tall, with long arms, a broad back and strong shoulders, and was no more than thirty years old.
