Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 230: All parties are shocked

Su Qian and border army commander Cui Yong had the same idea.

As long as the Tatars are stationed on the border, the imperial court will not easily touch them.

Despite the chaos within the court, no one dared to disrupt order on the border.

Everyone understood that once the border was in chaos, the Tartars would invade the interior.

This country is on the verge of crumbling.

Although they did not do much on the border, they were able to maintain a balance of power with the Tatars.

With the government troops and border troops here, the Tatars had to stay in the west of the town and did not dare to easily expand into the interior of Dazong.

But now Lin Feng broke this balance.

They repeatedly caused great losses to the Tartars and witnessed their repeated defeats.

Lin Feng is growing bigger and has a tendency to counterattack.

If this goes on, not only Su Qian will be anxious, but Cui Yong will also be sad.

General Cui had long been impeached by the imperial court for his inaction on the border and for allowing the Tartars to plunder.

Many members of the royal family also demanded his removal.

However, considering the risk of changing generals at the last minute, he was not moved for the time being.

If the Tartars were repelled by Lin Feng, Cui Yong would be in danger.

When Cui Yong heard the news that Lin Feng had broken into the 5,000-strong Tartar camp, his hair almost turned white overnight.

These forces each have their own plans.

Only General Qin from the border town was truly happy for Lin Feng.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to send troops to contain the Tatar army.

Who knew that while troops were being mobilized here, an official letter arrived from the capital.

General Su asked General Qin to keep his troops in place.

In theory, Qin Zhong could disobey his orders, as a general is not bound by the orders of his king when he is away from home, let alone a general of the same rank as himself.

However, ever since Du Lisheng went to the provincial capital, Zhao Shuo followed Lin Feng again.

The forces on the border town side are somewhat lonely.

At the beginning, there was an official document from the imperial court that clearly stated that the Zhenxi Prefecture Army was under the command of the commander-in-chief.

After much deliberation, Qin Zhong finally ordered the troops to return to their camps and wait for orders.

General Sun Yang was the first senior general to come.

"General, this is a godsend opportunity. This battle can not only restore the reputation of our army, but also save Lin Feng from danger. Why don't you move your troops?"

Qin Zhong said nothing, but just pushed the official letter from the capital forward.

Sun Yang took the official letter, took a look at it, and immediately started cursing loudly.

"Treacherous officials bring ruin to the country. How can the general listen to the words of a civil official?"

"General Sun, are you or I still the ministers of the great clan?"

"But..."

"But what? If you and I don't move, it will be a threat, and the Tartars won't dare to attack with their entire army. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"How can Lin Feng fight against 20,000 Tartars?"

"How can I not obey the imperial court's orders?"

Sun Yang stared blankly.

After a while, he asked, "General, can I lead an army to reinforce us?"

Qin Zhong said nothing, just shook his head.

The reason why Sun Yang left Lingdouzi Castle was because his family was in the provincial capital.

After weighing the pros and cons at this point, I could only leave with my head down.

Qin Zhong looked at his lonely back as he disappeared at the gate and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, I am old..."

However, what made Qin Zhong happy was that his son Qin Fang had always been following Lin Feng.

He is showing signs of becoming the number one general under Lin Feng.

Lin Feng won a great victory this time, and Qin Zhong immediately asked someone to call Sun Yang.

Throw the battle report in your hand to him.

"See for yourself."

Sun Yang took the battle report with doubt and glanced at it carefully.

"Hey! This kid... Hahaha, this kid, okay, okay..."

He didn't know what to say anymore and was so happy that he became incoherent.

In Lingdouzi Castle, Lin Feng ordered Li Xiong to restart the project.

First of all, we will speed up the repair of the incomplete parts of the outer city wall.

The crossbow made an outstanding contribution in this raid on the Tatars.

After Lin Feng investigated and understood the advantages and disadvantages of crossbows used by soldiers in actual combat.

Bai Jing and I squatted in the workshop, and together with several craftsmen, we carefully studied ways to improve the products.

Lin Feng, who hadn't slept all night, was so sleepless that he could hardly open his eyes by the evening.

After Bai Jing's repeated persuasion, he returned to the command center, threw himself into the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

For safety reasons, Bai Jing and Xie Chong stayed in the house.

In the courtyard of the headquarters, each team of ten guards patrolled in shifts.

Be it day or night, make sure there are no gaps.

Lin Feng's reputation is now soaring, and the bigwigs around him have to pay attention to him.

Next, it was not just the Tartars who wanted to kill him.

It is estimated that many people would kill Lin Feng at any cost.

Since Fan Jinsong died in battle, Wei Bao was sent out and became the leader of the cavalry and communications.

Only Xie Zhong and Li Hu were left by Lin Feng's side.

Bai Jing then selected two personal bodyguards.

One of them is called Cheng Liang, 23 years old, skilled in martial arts and quick-witted.

The other one is called Wen Jian, 25 years old, also agile, calm and opinionated.

The two were standing on both sides of the door, alert to any unusual movements around them.

The city of Zhenxi Protectorate, Xiehua Tower.

The courtesan Liu Shuxue was staring blankly at a piece of plain paper on the dressing table.

There are a few lines of poetry written on it, and from the beautiful handwriting, it can be seen that it was written by a woman.

Liu Shuxue muttered word by word.

"Fine grape wine in a luminescent cup, the pipa music urges me to drink..."

The final signature of this poem is Lin Feng.

Behind her was a woman in her forties, looking at her back worriedly.

"Shuxue, it's time to change the dressing. If you delay any longer, the pain will get worse again."

Liu Shuxue woke up from her daze, looking worried.

"Oh, that blow was so fierce that it almost cut off my thigh."

"Alas, I warned you to be careful earlier, but you are still too confident."

Liu Shuxue turned around and asked the middle-aged woman to change her medicine.

"However, this man's poetry is indeed excellent, with his literary and military skills, worthy of the title of hero. Back then, I was left in a state of confusion by his line, 'The howling of a pig and the fragrance of kidneys.'"

The middle-aged woman asked in a low voice as she changed her dressing.

"Shuxue, what are you going to do next?"

Liu Shuxue shook his head blankly.

The middle-aged woman was anxious: "I have already accepted a large sum of money from him, how can I let him go?"

Liu Shuxue pointed to her thigh, where the middle-aged woman was peeling off the white cotton bandage.

"Mother Wu, look at this knife. It's really strange that he doesn't fall for it."

"You revealed your flaw?"

"No, I know he's very skilled, so I'm being extremely careful."

Mother Wu shook her head helplessly.

"What a pity! If I had put in a little more effort, I could have stabbed him to death."

Liu Shuxue sneered: "Mom, you're overthinking it. It may seem like a slight mistake, but it's actually a huge mistake."

"Okay, let's recover first. We have to give them an explanation."

Liu Shuxue lowered his head and said nothing, only reciting those lines of poetry in his heart.

For a moment he became sluggish again.

Mother Wu changed her medicine and looked at her dazed look, shaking her head helplessly and sighing.

Turned around and went out.

Kyoto, Prince Rui's Mansion.

Prince Rui Zhao Xun was sitting at the large desk in his study, looking down at a letter carefully.

This letter was written by his son Zhao Shuo.

The letter described all of Zhao Shuo's experiences and observations since he followed Lin Feng.

And what Zhao Shuo himself has done these days.

Prince Rui Zhao Xun read it for a long time. He had never read a text so carefully before.

It seems like he is pondering each word.

This made the old eunuch standing by to serve frown.
