Chapter 281 Something is wrong
Chapter 281 Something is wrong
Lin Feng specially fenced off a piece of land in the castle.
He wanted to modify and improve his chariot.
Based on several battles with the Tatars, several shortcomings of chariots were summarized.
He also clearly knew that his creation of such a thing would bring about a breakthrough in the war in Zhenxi Plain.
Several of his senior generals also understood the sharpness of this chariot.
They all pestered Lin Feng, wanting to equip their team with a few chariots.
The Qin side was most interested in this chariot.
Because his father led 30,000 provincial troops, he needed this kind of weapon of war the most to change the current defensive status.
Qin Fang did not return to Weiyuan either, but stayed with Lin Feng.
While studying hard, he also did Lin Feng's work.
I hope he can provide his father with a few prototype cars.
At this time, Qin Zhong received an official document from Su Qian, the governor of the prefectural city.
The official document stated that in view of the current situation on the Zhenxi battlefield, the commander-in-chief Su Qian and the officials in the prefecture had carefully considered and were preparing to launch a counterattack against the Tartars.
Since the matter is top secret, General Qin needs to come to the capital in person for a secret discussion.
Qin Zhong had no doubt about the authenticity of the document.
Because they usually meet once every three months.
This is also the court's custom and is recorded in the records.
However, Su Qian's plan to counterattack the Tartars seemed a little unreliable.
Su Qian and Du Lisheng wore the same pants.
The two men had plotted against Lin Feng a few days ago but failed and were instead humiliated by Lin Feng.
This matter has spread throughout the entire west of the town.
Why do you suddenly want to launch a counterattack against the Tartars?
Qin Zhong summoned his military advisor Mu Wu and General Sun Yang, and the three of them got together to discuss the matter.
Mu Wu’s view on this matter was very clear, it was a conspiracy.
Sun Yang also felt that this matter was inappropriate and should be a trap.
But after Qin Zhong thought about it again and again, he also felt that there was something wrong with Su Qian, and the timing was a bit sensitive.
Lin Feng was already showing signs of counter-suppression against the Tatar cavalry.
We can learn from Lin Feng's tactics and apply them to the government army.
If we have the support of the governor, we can drive the Tartars out of the Zhenxi border in one fell swoop.
Maybe I can take a gamble, what if Su Qian really has this intention?
Mu Wu was anxious when he saw that General Qin was going to the capital to discuss matters.
"General, there is something wrong with this matter. I feel it is extremely inappropriate."
Qin Zhong smiled and asked.
"Mr. Mu, tell me, what's wrong?"
"Su Dutong has always been tepid about the war, aiming to maintain stability in the city. He also knows that the city's army is not strong enough to counter the Tartar cavalry. Why would he suddenly launch a counterattack?"
Sun Yang nodded frequently: "Mr. Mu is right, I also think there is a problem."
Qin Zhong nodded in agreement.
"You two, have you ever thought about this: even if Su Qian has other ideas, what can he do to us?"
After a pause, Qin Zhong continued.
"Although the commander-in-chief has the power to control the provincial army, the actual control lies in the hands of the provincial army general. Now that 30,000 provincial troops are in the border city, what can Su Qian do?"
"He wants to transfer the general to the capital. Once he leaves the army, things will be difficult to control."
Sun Yang retorted.
Qin Zhong laughed and said, "Du Lisheng is a fool. Even though he has 10,000 government troops under his command, he can't do anything to me, Qin Zhong."
"But the general is going to the capital to discuss matters. We can't send a large army to accompany him."
"I only need to bring 3,000 men and horses, and Du Lisheng won't dare to move rashly."
Mu Wu frowned and said, "What about the Tartars? What if they..."
Qin Zhong shook his head: "The Tartars are easy to deal with. Most of their troops are in Lingdouzi, facing Lin Feng. We can inform Lin Feng and put some pressure on them so that they dare not make any rash moves."
Mu Wu still insisted.
"General, I think we should delay this for a while. This matter is very strange."
Seeing that both of them strongly opposed it, Qin Zhong smiled and nodded in agreement.
He certainly thought the problem was serious without the two of them objecting.
So he put Su Qian's official documents aside.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the official letter from General Su Qian was delivered to the border town again.
In this official letter, Su Qian clearly stated that the imperial court's Ministry of War had issued a document requiring the government army's action plan to be discussed as soon as possible without any delay.
In addition, according to the court's convention, the two giants of Zhenxi meet every three months.
Qin Zhong felt that he could not delay any longer and ignored the objections of Mu Wu and Sun Yang.
Three thousand cavalry were mobilized, Sun Yang was put in charge of border town military affairs, and five thousand troops were mobilized to station in the camp outside the city.
He then ordered Mu Wu to send someone to inform Lin Feng to advance and suppress the Tartar camp.
Qin Zhong felt that as long as he could suppress the Tartars, other armies would not pose a threat to his 3,000 cavalry.
Even though there were still 10,000 troops stationed in the city.
He did not mention his poor fighting ability, but only said that he was still the general of the palace army.
How dare they attack their own leader?
As long as he brought three thousand cavalrymen and stood in front of the provincial capital, Commander-in-Chief Su Qian would not dare to have any evil thoughts.
In fact, these are not the main problems. The key is that Qin Zhong is too loyal to the court and must act according to the law.
I have to take this trip, even though it is full of danger.
Lin Feng was concentrating on studying the chariot at this time.
He heard that the general of the provincial army, Qin Zhong, wanted to suppress the Tartars himself, and he would go to the provincial capital in person to meet with the commander-in-chief Su Qian.
I didn't take it seriously at first, but my hand that was drawing slowly stopped.
There was something wrong with this.
I looked up and saw Qin Fang observing carefully in front of a chariot not far away.
"Qin Fang, come here."
Qin Fang ran over with a smile on his face.
"Boss, this place is interesting. It can be movable, so it can buffer external forces and..."
Lin Feng interrupted him.
"Your father is going to the capital city. Do you know why?"
Qin Fang was confused: "I don't know, and you never told me about this."
"Did he often go to the capital city before?"
"Well, I go back once or twice a year, mainly to visit my family."
Seeing Lin Feng frowning, he stopped talking.
"Boss, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Your father is going to the capital city to meet Su Qian. I have a feeling that something is not right."
"What's the big deal? It's normal for the two giants in Zhenxi to meet."
"Is it really okay?"
"It's really okay. The government troops are all under my father's control. No one can touch him."
Lin Feng shook his head, thinking that he was probably overthinking it.
But Su Qian had a falling out with him.
Everyone knows that Qin Zhong is the one who supports him.
Will it be bad if Qin Zhong is invited back to the capital at this time?
After pondering for a while, he said, "Go and inform all the tribes to closely monitor the movements of the Tartars. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately."
Cheng Liang, who was following beside him, immediately took the order and ran out.
Lin Feng paused and said, "Tell Wei Bao to send out the cavalry for three hundred miles to investigate the situation along the line between the capital and the border towns."
Wen Jian also responded and accepted the order.
Xie Zhong was released by Lin Feng and appointed as a general.
He was only accompanied by two personal guards, Cheng Liang and Wen Jian.
Of course, the other guards were standing on the periphery, not far away.
If anything happens, you can be called upon at any time.
Lin Feng patted the drawings on the table.
"After modifying this part, it's time to show it to the public. Let's see whether the Tartar cavalry is stronger or my chariot is more powerful."
Qin Fang looked at the drawings excitedly.
"Okay, okay, Boss, let me command the battle this time?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Chariots can't attack the city or capture the stronghold. We have to lure the Tartars out."
"It's simple. The Tartars have always believed that their cavalry is formidable, so they certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to engage us in battle in the wilderness."
"That's right. We can split into two groups. One group will have a thousand cavalry and ten chariots. We will head towards the capital and lure the Tartars into a field battle."
Qin Fang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, let them have a taste of this divine weapon."
Lin Feng immediately got a piece of white paper and began to draw according to the terrain on the sand table.
Lin Feng memorized the terrain and topography of the huge sand table placed at the command center.
There is no need to stay by the sandbox anymore.
"Let Xie Zhong report here."
