Chapter 291 We Don’t Believe You
Lin Feng immediately stood at the foot of the city, looked up and shook his head at Sun Yang.
That's all they have, and you still want them to fight against the Tartars?
Sun Yang also smiled bitterly and waved his hand to let the soldiers lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.
An hour later, Lin Feng's Qingshui Army cleaned up the battlefield and began to enter the border town one after another.
Sun Yang dismounted and stood at the side of the city gate, looking at the teams of Qingshui soldiers in front of him.
I admired their heroic spirit in my heart.
These are the elite of the great army. If there had been such a team earlier, how could the Tartars have wreaked havoc in the west of the town?
After Lin Feng entered the city, he saw Sun Yang and jumped off his horse.
The two men came to a corner of the city wall and talked in low voices.
Sun Yang's face was full of envy.
"Lin Feng, looking at the entire sect, only you have such courage. I admire you wholeheartedly."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun, you are too kind. I am also forced to do so."
"When it's time to make a decision, make it. That's what a hero does."
"General Sun, please stop bragging and tell us about your next plan."
Sun Yang nodded: "I will do as you say. General Qin is not here, and I have no rules."
Lin Feng's face darkened. "I'm afraid General Qin has met with misfortune. I want to reorganize the Border City Army as soon as possible. What do you think?"
"Su Qian and Du Lisheng are truly courageous. They actually dared to attack the general. They deserve to be killed."
"Betraying the clan for one's own selfish gain is also deserving of death."
"Lin Feng, you can do whatever you want. Everything in Border Town is now in your hands."
"We still need General Sun's assistance."
Sun Yang shook his head: "Lin Feng, my family is still in the capital city. I have to leave some room for them, otherwise I might be persecuted by Su Qian."
Lin Feng could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll inconvenience General Sun for now."
"What are you talking about? Sun has always been optimistic about you. Just go ahead and do it."
As Sun Yang spoke, he took out a token from his waist.
"This is the general's badge. Use it to pass orders to the various divisions. If anyone disobeys... you will be responsible for what happens."
Lin Feng took the token and took a look at it.
This is a gold medal slightly smaller than the palm of a hand, with the six words "Da Zong Zhenxifu Army" engraved on the front.
On the back are two big characters "Qin Zhong", and on one side are three small characters "General".
It shines with golden light and feels heavy in the hand.
Sun Yang waved his hand and said, "My guards can serve as messengers. I am under your command. Please go to the General's Mansion as soon as possible."
"Where's General Sun?"
Sun Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Would you please ask General Lin to send me to jail for a few days?"
"I'm sorry, General. I'll send word to everyone, saying that General Sun has been imprisoned by Lin Feng."
"Thank you for your understanding. I hope we can still fight against the Tartars together."
"Don't worry, that day will come."
After the two men finished their conversation, Lin Feng had the guards surround Sun Yang and walk straight to the prison area of the border town.
He then mounted his horse and led his men towards the general's mansion.
There were 30,000 defenders in the border town, but Lin Feng only brought 4,000 cavalry.
Once it is not controlled well and causes mutiny, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
His own 4,000 men defeated Du Lisheng's 5,000-strong government army, killing many and capturing even more.
Groups of prisoners were escorted into the border town, and an area was marked out in the parade ground to keep the prisoners inside.
When Lin Feng arrived at the General's Mansion, he immediately sent someone with the General's token to notify each camp.
All officers above the rank of captain of a thousand men must immediately go to the General's Mansion to receive orders.
Many officers in the military camp heard about the unusual events in the border town.
But the specific situation is not clear.
After seeing the general's token, they all rushed to the general's mansion.
When everyone arrived at the General's Mansion, they found that the soldiers on guard outside had all changed their uniforms.
From the perspective of standing posture and momentum, they are all different.
What kind of people have been replaced?
They all entered the lobby of the general's mansion with doubts in their hearts.
Among the 30,000 provincial troops, there are nearly a hundred officers above the rank of centurion.
The entire lobby was filled with people.
They all looked at each other in surprise. A young man was sitting in the seat that usually belonged to General Qin.
There were many officers who knew Lin Feng, and some who did not.
They began to ask questions and discuss in a noisy manner.
Hu Jincai moved closer to Lin Feng and whispered.
"Boss, almost everyone is here. There are still seven missing who are not in the barracks. We have already sent people to look for them."
Lin Feng didn't wait any longer and knocked on the table with a paperweight on the desk.
The entire lobby gradually quieted down.
"My dear generals, my name is Lin Feng, I lead the army of the government, and I am Viscount Qingshui."
Someone exclaimed.
The lobby was in chaos for a moment, then quiet again.
"I had no choice but to come this time. General Qin was ambushed outside the city by the Commander-in-Chief Su Qian and General Du Lisheng, who were colluding with the Tartars."
With just these words, the lobby began to become chaotic again.
Lin Feng had to bang on the table hard to get everyone to quiet down.
"General Qin has entrusted me with the task of temporarily taking over his duties at the border city."
The discussion started again, and the buzzing sound never stopped.
Lin Feng stood up and looked at everyone in the hall with a frown.
Hu Jincai shouted loudly from the side.
"Quiet, quiet, listen to General Lin!"
However, there was no effect at all, and the crowd continued to shout.
Lin Feng was helpless and waved to Cheng Liang and Wen Jian.
The soldiers standing around the hall immediately drew their crossbows to their full length and aimed them at the officers in the hall.
This was very effective, and the officers all shut their mouths in astonishment.
The lobby finally became quiet again.
Lin Feng shouted, "If anyone says anything again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He paused, and there was no more sound in the hall.
"I'm sure many of you know me, Lin Feng, who fought single-handedly against the Tartars' plunder and worked hard to maintain peace on the border."
"I deeply regret the attack on General Qin. I, Lin Feng, will not tolerate any traitor who colluded with the Tartars and harmed my people."
"I also know that many of you are dissatisfied or have other ideas. Now, I will give you a chance to choose."
Lin Feng paused here and glanced at everyone.
"Those who agree with General Qin's commission and are willing to follow me, Lin Feng, in fighting the Tartars and restoring the entire territory of Zhenxi, please stand to the left."
"If you don't want to, please move to the right."
After saying that, Lin Feng fell silent.
Several of Sun Yang's subordinate generals immediately moved to the left and stood firm.
After waiting for a while, a dozen of the nearly one hundred officers slowly moved to the left side of the lobby.
Lin Feng took a look and said: "Why are you unwilling? Do you want to follow Su Qian and surrender to the Tartars?"
Someone in the crowd shouted, "You're saying the governor surrendered to the enemy? What evidence do you have?"
"Can you please stand up and speak? I will answer all your questions one by one."
Lin Feng said calmly.
A general who was about fifty years old took a few steps forward and stood at the front of the crowd.
"I am General Fujun Ge Shuguo. May I ask General Lin where General Qin is now and what is his condition?"
"General Qin was attacked by the Tartars in the capital. All news has been blocked by Du Lisheng, and the specific situation is still unknown."
"Haha, you said that General Su Qian and Du Lisheng were colluding with the Tartars. Do you have any evidence?"
"General Qin was attacked by the Tartars at the foot of the city. It's easy to imagine that the city's army had colluded with them, refusing General Qin entry and abandoning the defenses surrounding the city, allowing the Tartars to come and go as they pleased."
"This alone cannot prove that they are colluding with the Tartars."
Lin Feng also knew that these were just his judgments. Although the facts were not far from this, he could not provide any conclusive evidence.
Zhao Shuo moved closer to Lin Feng and spoke in a low voice.
"This person has always had a very good personal relationship with Du Lisheng, and he also has several of Du Lisheng's close friends down there."
Lin Feng glanced at the crossbow-wielding soldiers standing on one side of the lobby, then spoke in a deep voice.
"I, Lin Feng, guarantee with my integrity that I will leave immediately when General Qin returns."
"We don't believe you. Even if the general isn't in the city, it's not your place to speak here."
Ge Shuguo looked disdainful.
