Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 863 Then You Die

"But before that, the rebels had already been driven out of Kyoto and pushed to the other side of Jinjiang River. What about you?"

Ma Buxuan lowered his head and stopped arguing.

When Prince Lu saw that he had nothing to say, he immediately became angry, stood up, pointed at Ma Buxuan, and was about to start scolding him.

King Rui quickly raised his hand to stop them: "Alright, now is not the time to argue about this. We should think carefully about how to get rid of the rebels' attack."

Considering that none of the people in front of him can come up with a good idea, Prince Rui said to the guards.

"Go and call Generals Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming over."

The guard turned around and went out to pass on the order.

After a while, Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming hurried over.

King Rui had the battle report passed to the two of them for review.

After reading the battle report, Ju Chaoyue swallowed hard.

"Are you going to kill them all?"

"The Dazong Dynasty is so vast, is there no place for us to stand?"

Wei Ming's face also fell.

Both generals were veterans of the battlefield and knew that if they fought this battle, they would definitely lose.

Prince Rui stared at Ju Chaoyue's face and asked, "Is there no possibility of winning?"

Ju Chaoyue shook his head dejectedly.

Prince Lu was anxious: "What good ideas do you two have?"

Lin Cangshi shouted, "Your Majesty, we can continue to retreat westward and avoid the rebels."

Ju Chaoyue sneered: "Further west, it's a wilderness. Without high walls and deep trenches, we will be defeated even faster."

"Fight, I can't win. Run, I can't escape. What do you think we should do?"

Prince Lu spread his hands and shouted at the crowd.

Tang Bingqian hesitated: "Your Highness, why don't we go to Jingnan Mansion?"

"It's closer to Kyoto. To the south are pirates, and to the north are rebels. You won't even know how you died."

Zhao Wentian couldn't help but speak.

Ju Chaoyue thought it over again and again, then turned to look at Prince Rui.

"Your Highness, have you considered moving closer to Jingxi Mansion?"

Everyone shut up and waited quietly for King Rui to speak.

Jingxi Prefecture is the territory of the Zhenxi Army. The rebels certainly wouldn't dare to go there, and they wouldn't be harassed by pirates.

King Rui said sternly, "Without Lin Feng's permission, if our large army moves there, what will they eat? Are we going to rob them?"

Ju Chaoyue gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please let me go find Lin Feng. Perhaps, for the sake of our former colleagues, he will give us a place to stay."

Lin Cangshi immediately jumped up and cursed, "Bah! I, Lin Cangshi, would rather die than see this man's face."

Prince Lu immediately scolded him, "Then go to hell."

Lin Cangshi's face suddenly turned dark, and he lowered his head and dared not speak.

King Rui glanced coldly at everyone in the room. These people, to varying degrees, all had a grudge against Lin Feng.

He didn't know whether they regretted their previous actions, but Zhao Xun felt a little upset.

For the sake of this little bit of power in his hands, he turned a good game of chess into a dead end.

Zhao Xun sighed deeply. He was just the emperor's brother, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and he acted domineeringly on a daily basis.

However, the control over the battlefield situation was still much weaker. They only looked at immediate interests and ignored the combat effectiveness of the rebels.

What’s more, they ignored Lin Feng’s important role in the entire war.

It is definitely too late to regret now, but this is the only way to go at the moment, and all others are dead ends.

There is another main reason. The emperor is still in Jingxi Mansion, and Lin Feng did not drive them out, which means that they have not yet fallen out.

This is a living person. I hope I can be thick-skinned and not mention the previous dirty deeds.

It's better than taking your whole family and becoming slaves to others.

After thinking it over, Zhao Xun stood up.

"With this, the entire army will begin moving north. General Ju Chaoyue will immediately go to Jingxi Prefecture and contact Lin Feng to obtain permission from the Zhenxi Army."

King Rui made the decision, and no one else said anything more.

Only Lin Cangshi and Zhao Wentian felt uneasy.

He had just been released from Kuncheng Prison and had just had a few days of good life. Would he go and cause trouble for himself again?

How will they face Lin Feng?

I was wrong. How will Lin Feng deal with the two of them?

Everyone felt miserable. There were wolves behind them and tigers in front of them, and they were just a group of pitiful sheep.

The reason why no one objects is because they all have families and can be humble and compromise in front of others, all for their families.

This excuse was so powerful that it made them feel justified when they took action the next moment.

Just a few days after settling down, chaos broke out again in Jinggaofu City.

There were all kinds of carts, big and small, and everyone was loading their belongings into the carts. Many useless things that the elderly were unwilling to give up were also loaded into the carriages.

Even though there are only 30,000 imperial guards, they all have their families with them, and their number is several times greater than that of the army.

Ju Chaoyue had already led a small team and rushed out of the city early.

Wei Ming was the most combat-experienced general here. He stood on the city wall and looked at the chaos in the city.

"What the hell, if we march like this, we're definitely not going to escape the rebels' pursuit. We're all going to die together."

The generals under him looked at Wei Ming with indignation and did not dare to say a word for a moment.

Ju Chaoyue has already left to contact the Zhenxi Army to discuss the issue of acceptance.

Among the Imperial Guards, only Wei Ming was left. Dang Guihong had less experience and didn't dare to speak.

Wei Ming immediately rushed to the temporary command center of Jinggao Mansion and asked to see King Rui.

King Rui and others were discussing which route would be more convenient.

Seeing Wei Ming's anxious face, he asked.

"General Wei, is there something wrong?"

Wei Ming took a step forward and pointed at the map.

"Your Highness, we will definitely not be able to march this way. The rebels are coming fast, and we will definitely be caught up with our families."

Ma Buxuan frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

"Commander-in-Chief, in my humble opinion, our Imperial Guards should be separated from the family troops. Thirty thousand Imperial Guards should be sent to the place where the rebels are crossing the river, ambushing them along the way and delaying them."

Everyone frowned and thought.

Wei Ming continued, "All family members, escorted by a small number of troops, will march from Jinggao Prefecture to Kancheng, striving to obtain the protection of Kancheng Zhenxi Army."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shook their heads.

Prince Rui hesitated. "We haven't reached an agreement with Lin Feng yet. How can the Zhenxi Army protect our families?"

Wei Ming said firmly: "Lin Feng's consistent proposition is to put the people first and let the people live a good life. A strong people means a prosperous country. Therefore, they will not sit idly by and watch the people."

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Wei Ming said anxiously.

"The civilians' troops are moving slowly. If the rebels from the southeast catch up with us, no one will be spared."

Ma Buxuan shouted, "Wei Ming, you're taking a risk. What if the Zhenxi Army doesn't intervene? Your family and mine will be captured and killed by the rebels. Can you handle this responsibility?"

Wei Ming said in a deep voice: "Wei firmly believes in Lin Feng's character."

These words made a number of high-ranking officials in the imperial court change their expressions.

This general, who usually doesn't talk much, holds Lin Feng in such a high position in his heart. Does he still have the court in his eyes?

Are there still these important officials in the court?

Or even more seriously, is there still the emperor in Wei Ming's eyes?

Prince Lu shouted, "Wei Ming, do you know who you are talking to?"
