Chapter 210: King Kang
During the period when Liu Feng went north, several other Wei troops attacked the cities and villages, Anyang, Xiapei and Beimian were successively fallen, and no one could stop the troops. At the same time, Chen Sheng, who had originally besieged the prefecture, was defeated by the Zhenguo Army led by Cui Kui, Wuwei Hou, and retreated westward to Jiangzhou.
Upon receiving this news, Liu Feng's good mood disappeared immediately.
Isn’t Chen Sheng known as a million-dollar army? Why did he lose if he said he was defeated? And wherever they retreated, they just ran to Jiangzhou. Isn’t this causing trouble for him?
Liu Feng knew the virtues of these bandits very well. The geese were light to pull their hair when they passed by, and shave three feet of the ground was the basics. If they were allowed to enter Jiangzhou, the people there would definitely be no money and become the nourishment for the bandits to strengthen the bandits.
"Immediately, General Annan Fan Wei is ordered to stop Chen Sheng. If the troops are insufficient, you can recruit local young and strong people. You must never let them go deep into Jiangzhou. You will also send someone to tell Li Jun that he will bear the losses caused by Chen Sheng in Jiangzhou, otherwise you will not want to go back."
"Abide by the order!"
An Jinyiwei next to him immediately bowed his order, then turned around and walked out of the tent quickly.
Outside the camp was a continuous military camp, with flags covering the sky, surrounded by black armored troops and Jinyiwei patrolling back and forth with sharp blades. The guards were so tight that it was difficult for fly to enter.
Three days have passed since the 50,000 army entered the territory of Ling County. During this period, the Red Feather Army in Lingcheng was very cautious and adopted the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to defend the city. However, this was not a long-term solution. After all, there were so many people in the city who could not last long for food and drink.
······
On the top of Lingcheng City, Lin Baishan led a group of civil and military officials in the city. Looking at the continuous camps outside, whether it was the neat military appearance or the shocking shouts of killing that soared into the sky during training, they were all moved.
Over the past few days, the reputation of the Black Armored Army has gradually spread through great victory, which has attracted the attention of those in power around them.
There are many rebel forces in Jizhou, but so far, only this force has not suffered any defeat. Whether it is the elite of the Qian Dynasty or the elite soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they have suffered a great loss.
"Enjoyed father, it's been three days now, and Liu Zhe showed no sign of attacking. He obviously planned to just siege and not attack. There was not much food in the city. Why would you let me lead my army out of the city for a battle?"
Lin Bao hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help but say to Lin Baishan.
The morale of the army has been greatly affected in the past few days. Tens of thousands of troops were besieged in the city by more than 50,000 thieves outside. Especially when the other party even brought people to scold the enemy every day, many generals and schoolmen began to feel a little emotional.
Lin Baishan touched the rough battlements in front of him and slowly said, "Don't be anxious first, wait."
Although there were only more than 50,000 people outside the city, not long ago, the other party defeated 150,000 Wei troops with 30,000 troops and swallowed the White Lotus Army. These actions made Lin Baishan very afraid and dared not careless at all.
"I have to wait! When do you want to wait?"
At this time, a sharp duckling voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a white-faced man with a feminine appearance and a strong feminine appearance, leading a few sword guards to come over with a proud look. Everyone recognized this guy at first glance, the eunuch who was favored by King Kang, An Dafu.
After An Dafu stepped on the lotus step toward Lin Baishan, he pinched the orchid finger and said sharply: "Lin Baishan, do you know your guilt!"
Looking at An Dafu who was looking for a crime, Lin Baishan frowned and looked puzzled, saying, "Eunuch An, what do you mean?"
An Dafu glared at his eyes and said in a sharp voice: "I don't care about the DDT fight, and I don't care about the safety of the prince. The people in the whole city have the eyes to see these two crimes. What else do you have to say?"
As soon as this statement was made, the people around him had a drastic change in their faces. According to the law of Gan Chao, if any of these two crimes is confirmed, it will be a serious crime to be beheaded.
"Eunuch An is such a bad word. As the Lord of the Mansion, my adoptive father is responsible for the safety of tens of thousands of people in the city. Every decision must be cautious and meticulous. The best way to fight the enemy at present is to defend the city, reduce the consumption of our army and wait for an opportunity to attack. How can we be afraid of DDT? As for the safety of the Supreme Prince, there is no way to start. Now the prince is staying in the mansion safely, so what is the danger?"
The person who stood up to argue for Lin Baishan was a young general wearing mountain patterned armor and with a beard. This person was Lin Sheng, the boss of Gaohe Sanhu, and the commander of the Red Feather Army.
When An Dafu heard Lin Sheng's words, he felt annoyed. He looked at Lin Sheng with a cold face, "What a sharp mouth, but these two crimes cannot be rude with just one mouth!"
He raised his hand and pointed at the city, "The army of tens of thousands, but was trapped in the city by more than 50,000 rebels outside the city and did not dare to fight. This is not a fear of the enemy? The food in the city is insufficient. From last night to now, our prince has not eaten a single bite of food, and he almost fainted from hunger. You don't find a way to defeat the thief army and send the prince back to Kyoto, but let him fall into the thief army surrounded. This is not a matter of ignoring the safety of the prince?"
Lin Baishan looked moved, and turned to a young man beside him and asked, "Ye'er, haven't I told him not to cut down His Highness Kang's food?"
"Reporting to my adoptive father, I personally arranged the food for the prince. It was enough to eat for more than half a month, and it was not cut at all."
Forestry said quickly.
"Eunuch An, do you think there is any misunderstanding?"
An Dafu sneered, "Misunderstanding? Ask your good son, what have you sent here! Aged coarse grains, as well as wild vegetables and potatoes, are these things that people eat? Do not eat dogs raised by the prince!"
"Why is this not something that people eat? The food delivered to King Kang is the best. Eunuch An is not unclear about the severe drought in the north over the years. There is a shortage of food everywhere. In addition, we have broken ties with the south and become an isolated land. The situation is even worse. Now the people in the city are only living a bowl of porridge a day."
"I don't care. Our prince has always been fond of meat and can't eat without meat. You must find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, if the prince is starved, you will be all sinners! Also, the prince gave orders and immediately sent troops to defeat the thief army outside the city and escort him to Huzhou!"
After An Dafu finished speaking, he took the guards of King Kang to leave the city.
Lin Baishan sighed and said to Lin Ye: "Ye'er, take people to slaughter the horse in my mansion and send it to King Kang."
"Entertainment Father, you are a pure-blooded Northland war horse. It's hard to find a fortune. I've been with you for many years, so I'd better kill me."
Lin Sheng spoke.
"No, you will soon lead your army out of the city to fight against the rebels. How can you do without a good mount? My horse is old, and its physical strength and endurance have dropped significantly. It's not many years old to survive, and it will be slaughtered. This matter is decided. Let's hurry up and discuss how to deal with the thief army outside the city. We can't afford to lose this battle."
"yes!"
