Xi Zhicai was all smiles: "My lord, haven't you figured it out yet? His Majesty wanted to keep you by his side at first, but he let you go just because you said you wanted to go back to Beihai. Don't you think His Majesty's behavior is too childish?
"
Only then did Lin Feng understand.
Damn it, you are playing catch-and-release with this old boy like Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Why are you playing catch-and-release with me?
His whole face fell down. Lin Feng was so angry that Mao didn't kill Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty with an axe!
This guy repaid a favor with a grudge. I saved his life. What about him? He was going to throw me into the Luoyang stuffing machine and stir it up.
You said, is this still a person?
Xi Zhicai didn't know what Lin Feng was thinking, so he continued talking according to the ideas in his imagination.
"My lord doesn't seem to want to go to Luoyang? In fact, according to Zhicai's opinion, it is the best time for my lord to leave Beihai and go to Luoyang."
"It's good, it's good. Luoyang is like a puddle of muddy water. No matter who goes there, it's hard to get rid of it."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and muttered angrily.
Xi Zhicai obviously refused to give up and continued to encourage Lin Feng to go to Luoyang for development.
"My lord, although you secretly control most of the army in Beihai, you lack a nominal title after all. The captain of the Po Thief School can only command 800 soldiers on the surface. The soldiers of the three battalions controlled by my lord have no real court titles.
It can only be called a private army. If the lord wants to continue to develop in Beihai, he can only rely on the strength of the Zhen family. Without more than ten years of accumulation, it is impossible to take over Beihai County legitimately."
At this point, Xi Zhicai actually went a little too far. Although he had Lin Feng's best interests at heart, he could not escape the reputation of instigating the relationship between his father-in-law and his son-in-law.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, this kind of thing has happened before. When Beihai City was besieged, Xi Zhicai advocated that Lin Feng deal with the siege as late as possible.
This time Xi Zhicai openly put Lin Feng and the Zhen family on opposite sides.
"Sir, the Zhen family and I are not as tit-for-tat as you are. In fact..."
"Lord, this is exactly what I want to state next."
Xi Zhicai did not let Lin Feng continue his heartfelt expressions and complaints, but quickly continued his own train of thought.
"Zhicai knew that the relationship between the master and the Zhen family was constantly being settled and chaotic, so he suggested that we should move to Luoyang."
"First of all, if the lord goes to Luoyang for development, then the three current battalions will either be reorganized and reorganized, and the rest will be disbanded. Or the lord can only lead the nominal eight hundred soldiers to Luoyang, and the rest will continue to stay in Beihai."
Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this.
Are you kidding me?
In this coming troubled world, everything else is fake, only the army in hand is real.
It was so easy to have the three major camps under his command, Zhongziying and Huaziying. How could he give up these brothers who had followed him through life and death at will?
"Sir, do you know what the consequences will be if I give up the troops in my hands?"
Xi Zhicai nodded slightly and raised his glass to invite Lin Feng to drink together.
After draining the glass of wine in one gulp, Xi Zhi let out a breath of alcohol.
"Lord, why would Zhicai ask you to abandon your own troops?"
"This is what Zhi Cai has planned. The Lord selected the most elite eight hundred warriors from the three major battalions and led them to Luoyang to take up their posts. The remaining elite soldiers from hundreds of battles cannot just be wasted. According to Zhi Cai's opinion, it is not as good as
put this
These elite soldiers are given to the Zhen family. Firstly, the Zhen family will be grateful to the lord, and secondly, the Zhen family can use the lord's remaining troops to control Beihai forever. In this way, even if the lord leaves Beihai, Beihai will still be the last resort for the lord."
"And with the help of my past rescue, my lord can quickly establish a foothold in Luoyang, and rise to prominence, and soon occupy a higher position. When the time comes, my lord will train more elite soldiers with his generals, wouldn't it be through the power of the official family?
Can you grow yourself faster?"
Lin Feng blinked hard, and Xi Zhicai's words indeed made sense.
Lin Feng is not short of money and food, at least not in the short term, and he has strong generals like Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei are all top-notch generals, Guan Hai, Gao Shun, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others are also good at martial arts.
Therefore, he does not lack generals to command his troops.
His biggest shortcoming now is that he has a small official position and is nominally unable to expand his power at will.
But if he can be promoted quickly in Luoyang, then he will naturally have more and more troops in his hands and his power will become stronger and stronger.
only......
Lin Feng said to Xi Zhicai with a sad face: "What you said is good, but the most important thing you didn't consider is that I have no chance to go to Luoyang. When His Majesty asked me what reward I wanted, I didn't ask for anything.
, just said that he wanted to return to Beihai."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng slapped his thigh hard: "Who would have thought that His Majesty would agree to me at that time?"
Xi Zhicai burst out laughing, making Lin Feng confused.
"Why are you laughing, sir?"
"My lord, you have been smart all your life, but you are confused just now."
Xi Zhicai was so happy that he shook his head and tail, even wearing a big-headed doll suit, and smiled proudly on the spot.
"Think about it, His Majesty wants you to teach the two princes. Who are those two princes? The future emperor will inevitably be born from these two princes. In other words, His Majesty is considering you as the future prince.
The emperor’s master came to see it.”
"Since His Majesty values you so much, why would he let you go back to Beihai so easily?"
"So my lord, please relax for now. According to Zhicai's estimation, in two months at the latest, there will definitely be an imperial edict from Luoyang, the capital, announcing that the lord will come to the capital to see His Majesty."
Lin Feng raised his head and thought for a while, then patted his head with his hand and smiled.
"As expected, the person involved is a fan, and I was actually deceived by the emperor."
There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the study room.
Now that he and Xi Zhicai have decided to go to Luoyang for development, the most important thing is that Lin Feng himself has also thought about it for a long time. According to what Xi Zhicai said, he may not be able to escape the fate of going to Luoyang, unless he disobeys the order openly and honestly.
Embark on the road to world hegemony ahead of time.
Lin Feng began to make arrangements in advance for his departure from Beihai.
First of all, the best among the three battalions were selected, the best among the best, one from dozens of people, and finally eight hundred cavalry were selected to form his personal guard. This personal guard was led by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun as chief and deputy commanders, and other generals also
Was incorporated into the Guards by Lin Feng.
Selecting the remaining soldiers of the three major battalions, Lin Feng mixed them into a new trap camp, and then handed over the command to his brother-in-law Zhen Yan.
Lin Feng's actions shocked the Zhen family and his son. They could not understand why Lin Feng would destroy the Great Wall and hand over the entire heroic army to the Zhen family.
You must know that this army under Lin Feng is an elite division that makes Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun look at it with envy. Who among those who know this army would not want to take it into their arms?
Until Zhen Yan and Lin Feng had a private conversation
Later, Zhen Yi found out that her son-in-law had somehow entered the eyes of today's Long Lives, and would soon be announced to take up a post in Luoyang.
Because Lin Feng did not inform the Zhen family and his son about Xu You's assassination, they did not know how Lin Feng became related to Han Ling Emperor.
It's not that Lin Feng can't trust Zhen Yan, but that the assassination of Han Ling Emperor is highly confidential. Not many people know about it today. Naturally, Lin Feng can't tell the Zhen family and his son casually. To know many things, it's better not to know than to know. Much more.
Most of the generals under Lin Feng were martial arts idiots. Huang Zhong was happy to hand over the Zhongzi Camp. Only Liao Hua was a little confused about Lin Feng's cancellation of the Huazi Camp. In his opinion, the more troops and horses in his hands, the better. Anyway, we have a lot of money and food, and we can’t afford it, so why should we give it away?
According to Liao Hua's suggestion, even if Lin Feng goes to Luoyang, what's wrong with bringing these thousands of brothers with him?
Anyone who dares to force us can just kill him. If the emperor doesn't know what he's doing, we'll kill him directly at the Golden Palace. The lord will sit on the throne. Uncle Huang will be the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Mr. Zhao will recruit everyone for the world. The rest Wouldn't it be nice for each of you, brothers, to have a general?
Lin Feng was so angry that he kicked Liao Hua in the butt several times. Do you think others are fools?
Such a stupid suggestion was probably made by either Guan Hai or Pei Yuanshao. In order to retain Huaziying, Liao Hua ran to Lin Feng and recounted it even though he knew it was stupid. Who is disgusting?
After comforting the generals in the army, the rest of the day will be boring.
Lin Feng held Mi'er and Yan'er on his arm every day during the day, traveling around the mountains and rivers, and wandering around.
In the evening, he competed with the white jade beauty Ganmei to test spears and sticks and discuss skills. He vowed not to give up until three shots were fired.
When the weather got colder and winter was about to begin, Gao Shun, who had gone to Jiuyuan, returned to Beihai.
This time Gao Shun came back not only with a large number of fine war horses, but also with a promise to Lin Feng.
Lu Bu personally promised that as long as Lin Feng's people arrive in Jiuyuan, they will get as many war horses as they want according to the market price, as long as Lin Feng has the money.
Xi Zhicai was most satisfied with this news. Once Lin Feng went to Luoyang, he would definitely have to deal with the big guys in the army.
When dealing with military forces, there is no more touching gift than a large number of war horses.
When the first snow of early winter fell all over the land of Beihai, the imperial edict from Luoyang finally arrived belatedly.
As Zhicai expected, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not mention that he had promised Lin Feng to return to Beihai. The imperial edict only stated that Lin Feng, the captain of the Beihai Bandit School, led his eight hundred soldiers and horses from the day he received the imperial edict. Within a month, he arrived at Balipo outside Luoyang City and stationed himself there, waiting for the second order from the palace.
After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Feng went to the Zhen Mansion to discuss secretly with the Zhen family and his son, and finally decided to leave the young Mi'er in the Zhen family mansion in Beihai. Lin Feng, Yan'er Ganmei, and the army went to Luoyang to face the Holy Spirit.
In fact, according to the arrangement of Lin Feng's mother-in-law Zhang, neither Mi'er Yan'er nor Gan Mei would be allowed to be taken away by Lin Feng, lest Mi'er might fall out of favor if they lived with others for a long time.
It's just that Yan'er returned to Luoyang to visit her father, which made Zhang lose her excuse to stop her.
As for Ganmei, it was her father-in-law Zhen Yi who suggested that Lin Feng take it with him. Just kidding, Lin Feng was at a very angry age, and Luoyang was a famous place where flowers were red, willows were green, and wind and moonlight were boundless. Ganmei was not allowed to look at Lin Feng, just in case the time came.
Lin Feng created another two-room concubine, how will Mi'er deal with herself in the future?
The next day, Lin Feng finally coaxed Mi'er to stop crying, and then he urged his horse to go. With three cannon blasts, the 800 personal guards set off with a bang, startling several jackdaws and fleeing far away.
