Chapter 34 Shocking News
Chapter 34 Shocking News
"General Lin, I'm really sorry. I stopped General Lin outside the city because I was really worried that King Wu's rebels would attack. After all, there are too few defenders in Xing'an County. The only way is to seal the city." Li Wenyuan Said with some embarrassment.After all, he was born as a literati, and he was worried about the slightest disturbance, so when he heard that an army was approaching, he immediately ordered the city to be closed.

After inviting Li Wenyuan to his command post, Lin Feng said: "Now is an extraordinary time, and it is understandable that Mr. Li should be more cautious. After all, who can guarantee that it will be the imperial army?"

"Thank you, General Lin, for your understanding. The officer brought some food and a lot of meat and drinks this time. I hope General Lin can accept it." Li Wenyuan said to Lin Feng after he was done.After all, it was a critical moment, and I offended Lin Feng just now, if Lin Feng casually found an excuse for collaborating with the enemy and attacked Xing'an County, then my crime would be serious.

Arching his hands at Li Wenyuan, Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty Li, you are welcome. I will not be polite to serve the food and meat. As for the drinks, please take Master Li back."

Looking at Lin Feng suspiciously, Li Wenyuan asked, "What is General Lin's intention? But do you think the drinks I brought are not good enough?"

Hastily waving his hands, Lin Feng said: "Master Li misunderstood, I don't mean it that way. Now the army is in a state of combat readiness, so you can't drink alcohol." When Li Wenyuan mentioned bringing wine, Xin Hong and He Wei's eyes turned green, but Lin Feng's refusal disappointed them again, but they knew that what Lin Feng said was right.

"It turned out to be like this. General Lin is really strict in running the army. He can be a model for generals in the world." Li Wenyuan patted Lin Feng's flattery very well.

"Shuai Lu, bring this general's account book." Lin Feng called his captain of the guard, took his account book from him, and wrote down the things Li Wenyuan transported on it seriously.Then make two copies, affix your own seal, give one to Li Wenyuan, and keep the other for yourself.

"This is the certificate, Mr. Li, keep it. When the time comes, you can go directly to the Ministry of War for reimbursement." Lin Feng handed the certificate to Li Wenyuan and said to him.

After receiving the voucher from Lin Feng, Li Wenyuan was stunned.When will a general give a certificate to a local official?It's all free food and drink plus free money.Even a little too much, they will blackmail the local wealthy households and take the opportunity to enrich their own pockets.For this kind of thing, the imperial court generally turned a blind eye to it. After all, you need others to fight, so how can you not give others a little benefit?
For the first time, Li Wenyuan began to feel that military generals are actually quite good.Isn't the anti-insurgency general Lin Feng in front of him? "General, let's forget about this. The general contributes to the country, and the subordinate officials should contribute a little food and grass. It can be regarded as the subordinate officials' contribution to suppressing the rebellion."

After waving his hand, Lin Feng said: "You can take it if I give it to you. I don't think your Xing'an County is rich. If you have money, can you repair this low city wall?" Lin Feng would not be polite to them anymore, but Xing'an County in front of him was an out-and-out poor county, and Lin Feng really couldn't bear to take advantage of them.Because these will eventually be apportioned to the common people.

What's more, what Lin Feng is spending now is the court's money, anyway, it's not his own, and he doesn't feel bad about it.Besides, if the money is saved, who knows if it will be corrupted by the officials of the Ministry of War?It's better to give the money to Xing'an County.

Standing up, Li Wenyuan bowed deeply to Lin Feng, and said: "Thank you General for your understanding, I will tell you that some of the food was borrowed from local wealthy households, and the warehouses in the county town do not have so much food in stock anymore. .”

Li Wenyuan bowed to himself, and Lin Feng quickly stood up, dragged Li Wenyuan up with his hands, and said, "What are you doing, Mr. Li? I am ashamed of this."

"Xiaguan, this is to thank you on behalf of the people in the whole county. If you don't pay the money, it will eventually be distributed to the people. It's okay for the rich, but the people are suffering." Li Wenyuan felt sorry for him. Said.Although he is also a good official who cares about the people, he can't make up such a big hole by himself, so it can only be shared by the people of the whole county.

Helping Li Wenyuan to sit on the edge of the chair again, Lin Feng said: "Because of this, you should accept this certificate."

"In this case, it is better to be respectful than obedient." After Li Wenyuan finished speaking, he took the certificate away.It's all right now, I don't have to think about any excuses to collect this part of the gap.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Wenyuan invited Lin Feng to the city to rest. After all, in the wilderness, sleeping in a tent is definitely not as comfortable as sleeping in the city.Of course, Li Wenyuan also euphemistically expressed that he wanted to invite Lin Feng to a meal, which can be regarded as thanking Lin Feng on behalf of the people of the whole county.

"Lord Li, save this meal for now. When I return from defeating King Wu's rebels, I will have it together with the celebration banquet." Lin Feng said with a smile, expressing to Li Wenyuan the confidence that the court will win.

"Okay!" Li Wenyuan patted the armrest of the chair, and said, "I'm waiting in Xing'an County for the news of your lord's triumphant squadron returning to court. At that time, I will definitely hold a splendid celebration banquet for the general."

"Okay, when the class teacher returns to court, I will definitely disturb Mr. Li, haha." Lin Feng also said with a smile.

It was already midnight when Li Wenyuan was sent out of the barracks.Looking at Lin Feng, Xin Hong asked sadly: "My lord, why don't you want that wine? I'm very greedy when I hear about that wine!"

"We are in a state of battle now, how can we drink alcohol? When the King Wu's rebellion is quelled and we return to the capital, I will invite you to drink the royal wine in the palace. I guarantee that you will drink it once and think about it for the second time." Lin Feng laughed. said.

But Xin Hong, who was listening to Lin Feng's words, was almost drooling, and asked, "My lord, is it really so delicious?"

"That goes without saying, when I get back to the capital, I'll get you a few jars so you can drink enough." Lin Feng said as a guarantee.

Swallowing his saliva, Xin Hong said: "A few altars are not enough? No matter how many altars are needed. Otherwise, how can there be enough for the officers and soldiers of my Wuxiang battalion?"

"My lord, you are being biased. Although the general can't drink much, he still needs to drink in his camp. At that time, they will have the capital to show off when they go home." He Wei said immediately.No matter in what aspect, He Wei wants to compete with Xin Hong, and this is what the two chief officials are most happy about.As the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Yao Xing just smiled and said nothing.And Lin Feng is also happy to hear about this situation.

With a big wave of his hand, Lin Feng said: "No problem, I will definitely let the brothers drink enough." Lin Feng, who boasted to Haikou, was ruined by his promise after returning to the capital. It is so easy to get out!

"My lord, the brothers all believe what you said. If you don't let the brothers do it by then, it will be unreasonable." Xin Hong immediately grasped Lin Feng's words and said.This can be regarded as a boost to the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Yumajian. You must know that if you win the battle and return to the capital, you can drink the royal wine. This is something that many people will never encounter in their lifetime.

"Yes, my lord, the brothers have heard it, and our palm prints are also here, you have to be a witness for us." He Wei was worried, and pulled Yao Xing over.

With a wry smile, Yao Xing said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now, what are you discussing? It's so late, I'll go back to bed first." After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and walk away.Yao Xing made it clear that he didn't want to join the team.One side is his boss, the other side is his subordinates, Yao Xing is in a dilemma.

"Okay, okay, Yao Xing, you don't have to make trouble, isn't it just a little royal wine? This is not a trivial matter." Lin Feng said.Xiao Anzi works in Shangshan Supervisor, so it won't be easy for him to make hundreds of jars of wine?Anyway, there must be a lot of wine in the palace.

"Since the adults say so, then I will be a witness." Yao Xing saw that Lin Feng had said it solemnly, and agreed to be a witness for Xin Hong and He Wei.After all, it's also a way to boost morale.

"Let's say it without proof, and write it as evidence." He Wei was cautious, such empty words were without proof.What if Lin Feng refuses to admit it?After all, it is royal wine, and it is not so easy to get it out.If there are two altars in one jar, forget it, this is hundreds of jars of wine for 1 people.Not a small amount.

Laughing, Lin Feng said: "You are really a man. Lu Shuai, give them a letter and stamp with my handsome seal." Lin Feng turned and said to Lu Shuai behind him.

Upon hearing this, He Wei immediately moved to Lu Shuai's side, staring at Lu Shuai as he wrote the document word by word, and stamped Lin Feng's seal of the counter-insurgency general by the way.

Looking at He Wei who was looking at him with a note of joy, Lin Feng asked: "My General He, can you do it now?"

"It's fine, it's fine. At that time, the brothers will have to fight the rebels of King Wu desperately. If they lose, hundreds of altars of royal wine will be lost. This is a big deal. I have to explain it to them tomorrow. "He Wei said happily while looking at himself.

"Let me have a look at the paper too." Seeing He Wei looking at the paper, Xin Hong also moved closer, ready to reach for the paper.

After giving Xin Hong a blank look, He Wei said, "What are you looking at? Do you know how to read? I keep the characters. Don't worry, when you arrive in the capital, your share is indispensable. I, He Wei, am not a stingy person."

"Why do you keep it?" Xin Hong asked dissatisfied.

"Can you guarantee that you won't lose it? As far as your forgetful character is concerned, I don't worry about it, so it's better to leave it with me." He Wei obviously didn't intend to give up the paper to Xin Hong, because he had already put the paper in it. into his arms.

After waving his hand, Xin Hong said: "Forget it, I won't fight with you. What's the point of fighting if we want to see each other on the battlefield?" After speaking, he saluted Lin Feng and said, "My lord, The last general will go back to rest first, and then we can fight after resting."

"Okay, you all go down and rest. It's almost dawn. Let's rest for a while. After dawn, we will set off and try to put down King Wu's rebel army as soon as possible. After returning to Beijing, I will serve you a celebration drink." Lin Feng was also a little sleepy. Yes, he opened his mouth and said.

"The last general will retire." After speaking, Xin Hong, He Wei and other generals turned and left.Lin Feng yawned and got into the tent, ready to have a good sleep.

The next day, the army started cooking early in the morning, and then marched towards Nanjiang Province at high speed.As the local parent officer, Li Wenyuan brought the local gentry to see Lin Feng off in person.It made Lin Feng feel a little like a general going to war.

The army went all the way south and did not stop in that city.One is that the supplies of Lin Feng's army are still sufficient, and the other is that the closer to the south, the more likely the officials in those places will seek refuge with King Wu, so Lin Feng has to be cautious.

"My lord, we will arrive at the border of Nanjiang Province in half a day. Are we going to camp here today?" He Wei said to Lin Fa and Lin Feng in the afternoon of that day.If you march at this speed and arrive at Nanjiang Province just after dark, it is very dangerous, and it is easy for the enemy to wait for work.

Looking at the map, Lin Feng asked for the opinions of other generals, and then said: "Okay, let's set up camp here today and send out the sentry. The rest of the people rest well, and they will meet King Wu tomorrow. rebels."

"Understood, my lord." Xin Hong said, turned his horse's head, and went to give orders.

At this time, Lin Feng and the others were in a good position.It's also a good place to camp.The army stopped, and the cavalry were used as sentinels and released like a net.In this way, if King Wu's army wants to attack unexpectedly, it will be much more difficult.
