Chapter 179 How Could I Be Afraid of You
Lin Feng was injured and could not go out to greet them.
Qin Fang brought the officers who were still able to move to the camp gate and brought the two men in.
Mu Wu and Sun Yang also brought four carts of military rations and one cart of meat, wine and other supplies.
Lin Feng was reluctantly helped to sit on a chair and talk with the two senior officials.
The atmosphere at the table was a bit depressing.
Everyone knew that Lin Feng had just lost many elite soldiers and was in a bad mood.
Mu Wu advised solemnly, "General Lin, victory and defeat are common in the military. Moreover, life is very fragile on the battlefield. As a general, we must have a strong heart."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Mu is right. I often wonder if it was a mistake in planning or improper command that caused the excessive losses."
Sun Yang said loudly: "Where did you get such a fragile heart? On the battlefield, just charge in and fight. Why are you thinking so much?"
Qin Fang laughed and said, "General Sun also has a fragile heart?"
"Hey, I don't know who spread the word."
Mu Wu moved closer to Lin Feng and whispered.
"The general asked me to apologize on behalf of General Du. General Du acted too recklessly."
Lin Feng shook his head and sneered.
"Don't take the blame for others. I'm just a nobody. How can I ask General Du to accuse me of a crime?"
Sun Yang turned his head and stared with his eyes wide open.
"Boy, are you not going to forgive Lao Du?"
Lin Feng looked at Sun Yang indifferently.
"General Sun, are you here to help him settle the matter?"
Sun Yang waved his hand and said, "Bullshit, I'll settle the matter for him. Just go ahead and do it. I'll support you."
Mu Wu frowned and asked, "Old Sun, what did you mean just now..."
"Hehe, I'm afraid this guy will get scared. I can't stand those guys who bully others by taking advantage of their power."
Mu Wu shook his head and sighed, "Alas, the general has entrusted the wrong person."
Sun Yang sneered, "Old Mu, is the general stupid?"
Qin Fang quickly said, "My father is not stupid."
"Hahaha..."
Everyone laughed.
They raised their glasses together, and the atmosphere instantly became warm and harmonious.
After drinking, Mu Wu and Sun Yang said goodbye and left the camp.
Qin Fang received Lin Feng's order and asked him to spread a message among the entourage of the two senior officials.
All these accompanying personnel knew who Qin Fang was.
Of course I gladly accepted the order.
After they followed Mu Wu and Sun Yang back to the border town, a rumor spread.
The officers in the border town were talking among themselves.
Soon, General Du Lisheng of the Fu Army also heard the news.
He heard from his deputy general that because Lin Feng had returned to the border town camp, Du Lisheng no longer dared to go to the camp and act wildly.
It was because he robbed the camp's food and beat Lin Feng's men.
Even this time, it was the general who asked General Du to go and reward the troops.
But Du Lisheng shirked the responsibility with an excuse.
It seemed like he was really scared.
After listening to this, Du Lisheng sneered.
"Hey, I'm afraid of a middle commander? That's ridiculous. Ignore them."
He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the rumor became more and more convincing.
Even some soldiers began to ask each other about this matter.
Now Du Lisheng could no longer sit still.
He was so angry that he threw a tantrum in his command post and smashed a teacup.
He kicked down the soldier who was serving tea.
"Come here, gather two hundred guards for me, and let's get out of the city!"
Du Lisheng led two hundred elite cavalry and rushed straight to the east gate of the border town.
Du Lisheng is really not afraid of Lin Feng. He is not afraid of anyone.
Because he had a niece who was a favorite of the emperor, Concubine Du.
In this sense, Du Lisheng is a real royal relative.
Thanks to this relationship, he was able to climb to the rank of General of the Fu Army, a high position of the second rank.
It was only because the court was in turmoil at that time that some unimportant matters were temporarily suppressed.
Otherwise, he would have almost been granted a title.
With such an identity and background, he is naturally not afraid of anyone.
Even the unruly champion Hou Zhaoshuo was in hot pursuit with him.
Sun Yang and other veterans looked down on him.
If it weren't for this relationship, Du Lisheng would be a man who has no military achievements and no strategies.
You will never be able to reach the position of centurion in your lifetime.
Du Lisheng was a man who could walk around the border town with impunity, so the city gate naturally couldn't stop him.
A group of two hundred elite cavalrymen walked out of the city gate and headed straight for the border town camp.
Lin Feng received the news as soon as Du Lisheng left the city gate.
"Haha, this guy, I thought he could hold on for a few days, but I didn't expect him to die so quickly."
Qin Fang said worriedly.
"Boss, how do you want to deal with this matter?"
"You stole my food and even attacked my men. How can I just let this go?"
Qin Fang moved closer to Lin Feng.
"Boss, this Du Lisheng has a niece who is the imperial concubine of the current emperor."
Seeing that Lin Feng was unmoved, he added two more words.
"Dear."
Lin Feng nodded: "Well, in that case, we should sit down and talk with him."
The border town and the camp are only about thirty or forty miles apart, and a fast horse can arrive there in a quarter of an hour.
A group of 200 elite cavalrymen rushed into the camp fence that had already been opened.
They rushed to the central military tent in the camp without stopping, then reined in their horses and stopped neatly in front of the big tent.
Two hundred elite cavalrymen, with clear flags and shining armor.
It shows the military appearance of the Dazongfu Army.
Du Lisheng did not dismount, but shouted loudly while sitting on the horse.
"Lin Feng, get out here for this general."
The curtain of the central army tent was lifted, and Lin Feng walked out slowly.
Du Lisheng had a disdainful smile on his face.
"Lin Feng, I heard that this general is afraid of you. So, today I want to show everyone why I am afraid of you."
Qin Fang followed closely behind Lin Feng and said with a smile.
"General Du, you believe the rumors, it's just a misunderstanding."
"Qin Fang, you have nothing to do here. I only want to ask Lin Feng, how am I afraid of you?"
Lin Feng said calmly, "General Du, are you bringing your men to attack my camp?"
"Hahaha, I'm here to attack your camp? So it's your camp? To tell you the truth, Lin Feng, others may be afraid of you, but I'm not. What about killing Tartars in bronze armor in battle? What about killing over a thousand Tartars? Pah, even if you killed all the Tartars, so what? Are you no longer under the jurisdiction of the Dazong court? Are you not the commander of the Dazong army? Are you no longer under my control?"
Faced with all this, Lin Feng was speechless and could only remain silent.
"Lin Feng, it's just a matter of pulling a few carts of food and whipping that blind man a few times. Is it really necessary to play such a trick on your superiors?"
"It's certainly not the case."
"Again, these ignorant fellows still say that I'm afraid of you. How ridiculous."
Du Lisheng felt proud for a moment when he saw Lin Feng's weak tone.
Lin Feng nodded and asked, "General Du, if someone whipped one of your men, how would you deal with it?"
"I'll show him that my whip hurts even more."
"Alas, I, Lin Feng, led my brothers in the front line to fight against the Tartars, risking my life, and you are stealing my rations from behind, and you hit people at the slightest dissatisfaction. I wonder if there is still room for reason in this clan."
"Hahaha..."
Du Lisheng laughed and pointed at Lin Feng with his finger.
"Boy, there's no point in telling me these things. The emperor still has the final say in the Great Zong Dynasty. If you want to reason with me, that's fine. Do you dare to follow me into the capital and present your reasons to the emperor?"
