Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 189 Scholars Rebellion

At this moment, Lin Qiaomei hurried in with a steel knife in her hand.

"Brother, these guys are too lax. Some of them even wanted to run away. I had to chop a few of them down before they behaved themselves."

Zhao Shuo looked at the knife in her hand, which was still stained with blood.

He grinned but didn't dare to say anything.

"These border troops usually stay in the camp with nothing to do, so they must be lazy. Don't be too anxious. Our people haven't arrived yet. Don't let you blow up the camp again."

Lin Feng said with a frown.

"Whoever dares to stir up trouble will be chopped off by me."

"You were told to go and reorganize, why are you running back?"

When Lin Feng asked this question, Lin Qiaomei remembered the important matter.

"Brother, do we still need their officers?"

Lin Feng tapped his knees with his fingers.

"I guess only a small half of these 1,000 soldiers can be kept. The rest will either be used as engineers or as laborers. We'll decide when Li Donglai brings his men to reorganize them."

Zhao Shuo quickly asked, "We're short of people now, why can't we all stay and serve as soldiers?"

“After training, those who don’t meet the standards cannot stay.”

"Yes, thankfully I've met the requirements, otherwise, would Big Brother have made me a laborer?"

"You can't be a commoner, so I'll make you a groom."

Lin Qiaomei clapped her hands and laughed, "Ha, even the people who lead my brother's horses are people with titles."

Zhao Shuo glanced at her and said, "I didn't lead the horse for you."

"With your clumsy appearance, you want to lead my horse? I don't even want to use you."

Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and waved his hand to shut them up.

"Zhao Shuo, how about asking your father to get me a title?"

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "Brother, this is easy. My father can just say a word."

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. I had a comrade before, a cavalry general of the border army, named Wei Zhen."

Speaking of Wei Zhen, Lin Feng's face darkened.

"He died of his wounds in a battle with the Tartars. I promised him that I would give him the posthumous title of Great General."

Zhao Shuo frowned and asked, "Was he a General of Cavalry?"

"Well, I still have his badge."

"It's not a big deal. Just ask my dad when we get back to Kyoto."

Lin Feng patted Zhao Shuo's shoulder: "Okay, please."

"Hey, what are you talking about, brother? This is our own business."

While they were talking, a soldier came in to report.

From the southwest, a large army was approaching Bin County.

Lin Feng asked doubtfully, "Send the cavalry to check and see where this army is from and how many soldiers are there?"

The soldiers took the order and ran out.

Zhao Shuo asked nervously, "Brother, are they Tartars?"

Lin Qiaomei said disdainfully, "Even if they are Tartars, what's there to be afraid of? We'll just kill as many as come."

Lin Feng shook his head: "It shouldn't be the Tartars. If they want to get here, they have to pass through our Qingshui area. How could they dare to cross our castle camp?"

Zhao Shuo raised his thumb and said, "Big brother is the only one in the whole town who dares to say such words. I admire him."

Lin Qiaomei rolled her eyes.

"Flattery."

Zhao Shuo rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm not the same person anymore."

"Then who else could you be?"

The two glared at each other like fighting cocks.

Lin Feng didn't bother to stop the fight. He brought his men to the city wall and looked into the distance.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a long dragon of thousands of people was winding its way through the wilderness.

Lin Feng calculated in his mind that this must be Li Donglai who took his orders and brought people here overnight.

He nodded secretly, thinking that the execution of his orders by these subordinates was impeccable.

Now we can rest assured. The thousand troops who just surrendered need to be reorganized as soon as possible.

The most important thing is to let them have enough food first and stabilize the morale of the troops.

Another quarter of an hour later, the army in the distance arrived at the foot of the city wall.

As expected, after receiving Lin Feng's order, Li Donglai rushed over day and night.

Li Donglai brought a thousand men and horses, which instantly gave Lin Feng confidence.

He ordered the two men to immediately reorganize the border troops that had just surrendered.

Kong Jin had suffered at the hands of Lin Feng before, and this time he felt really bad seeing his own men being dragged away by him.

He also understood that the morale of the border troops was low.

Under the leadership of General Cui Yong, everyone from top to bottom was only concerned with their own survival and corruption.

It's almost on the verge of collapse.

High-ranking military officers are all trying hard to build connections and follow Kyoto's path.

Find opportunities for yourself to leave.

I originally wanted to take Qingshui and give myself a place to support myself independently.

Kong Jin really wanted to lead his troops over and take back his own army.

Unfortunately, after much hesitation, I finally gave up.

These soldiers look like a team, but once the war breaks out, they will probably just flee to save their lives.

Now we have received a report that Lin Feng has sent a thousand troops to support us.

Kong Jin immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.

Return to the border army camp.

What about Chen Tongpan, the bandits, and Song Qi? Go to hell with them all.

He Zhiwu, the military commander of the Protectorate, who was stationed a dozen miles outside of Bing County, was quietly waiting for Kong Jin to capture Lin Feng so that he could discuss with him how to suppress the bandits and rescue people.

But after waiting for three or two seconds, they received the news that Kong Jin's army was retreating.

He Zhiwu looked confused.

Why would the border troops act like this?

General Su repeatedly reminded that the border troops should be the main force to suppress the bandits and rescue Chen Tongpan.

Although He Zhiwu brought 500 government troops, it was only to strengthen the army's prestige.

These five hundred government troops must be brought back to General Su without missing a single one.

He Zhiwu was also embarrassed. He was stationed outside the county town, and he couldn't leave to suppress the bandits.

But at this time, Lin Feng was busy and having fun.

Five hundred laborers also entered the county town and began to build and renovate the county town of Bing County according to the plan.

Lin Feng thought of using favorable conditions to attract investment.

There are a lot of houses and land in Bin County. Now that the people are gone, these things have become ownerless.

After re-planning and adjustment, we wait for people with ambition to come and make money.

After Li Donglai reorganized the 1,000 border troops, he eliminated more than 600 soldiers.

These soldiers became civilian laborers and participated in the construction of the project.

The other soldiers were mixed into other teams.

Lin Feng asked Li Donglai to set up a camp between Bing County and Kuiwu Mountain.

This camp is only seven or eight miles away from Helmet Mountain.

More than 1,300 men were stationed in the camp.

The bandits on Helmet House Mountain were suddenly embarrassed.

The government army camp is just down the mountain, so we dare not confront them head-on.

Staying in the mountains means starving to death.

The landform features of Kuiwu Mountain are different from those of other places.

There are only two roads going up and down the mountain, both on the south side of the mountain, which are blocked by the government army camp.

The east, west and north sides of the mountain are all cliffs. If you want to go down the mountain, you have to use a rope to hang down.

The bandit leader on Kuiwu Mountain was called Wang Fulai, and he was originally a student.

He failed the provincial examinations many times, and later found out that he had been ranked first by the son of an official.

Although he was dissatisfied with the court.

Now that the government and the country were in turmoil, Wang Fulai gathered a group of students and fellow villagers and raised the flag of rebellion.

What he didn't expect was that when he raised the banner of rebellion, so many people responded to him.

Soon four or five hundred people gathered.

Now Wang Fulai was worried. What should so many people eat?

The villages and towns west of the border town were short of food and clothing, and there was nothing to rob.
