Chapter 186: Capture the Thief and Seize the Clear Water
Kong Jin was somewhat dissatisfied and turned to look at He Zhiwu.
"Sir He, there's no need for General Su to make such a grand event, right?"
He Zhiwu smiled.
"General Kong, after all, Chen Tongpan is an official appointed by the imperial court. The commander-in-chief will naturally take him seriously."
"Then who among the three of us has the final say?"
"Of course, it's General Kong who has the final say."
Kong Jin nodded. He had the highest rank and the most men, so it was his responsibility.
Two thousand versus two hundred, no matter how bad you are, ten against one, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Well, let's evacuate everyone inside, clean up, and use this as a command center."
"Okay, I'll go inform General Lin."
He Zhiwu quickly agreed and walked into the lobby.
Kong Jin did not enter the house, but walked around the county government yard with his hands behind his back.
After He Zhiwu entered the lobby, he whispered to Lin Feng.
"General Lin, we are all here to rescue Master Chen. How about letting General Kong Jin, the general of the border army, be the commander?"
Lin Feng quickly waved his hands: "Let's each play our own games and not interfere with each other."
"Hey, General Lin, this is a war after all. We need a unified command to defeat the enemy."
"Master He, they are just a group of bandits. We have about 3,000 men here. Is it necessary?"
"But if there's no unified command, who goes first and who goes second? How can we take down the bandits? These are all problems."
"That's not a problem. I'll let you choose."
He Zhiwu blinked and was speechless.
He had heard that Lin Feng was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to be so difficult.
In the courtyard of the county government office, Song Qi approached Kong Jin.
"General, why don't you take this kid down first? He dares to be rude to you, and sooner or later he'll get into trouble."
Kong Jin stopped and thought for a moment.
"Are you sure they don't have anyone else?"
"I sent someone to investigate, and they found that there are indeed only about 200 cavalrymen."
"Oh, where's He Dujian?"
"They are only five hundred men. If we have two thousand of us, we can surround them and disarm them all."
Kong Jin was still hesitating. If it was just Lin Feng, he would have taken action without hesitation.
But He Zhiwu was the military commander of the Zhenxi Protectorate. If he was captured, it would be difficult to explain to General Su.
Song Qi knew his concerns and spoke quickly.
"We can separate them and just attack Lin Feng."
Song Qi hated Lin Feng to the core, so he naturally would not miss this great opportunity.
He only brought 200 cavalrymen out to wander around. He must be tired of living.
This arrogant guy is finally in his hands.
Two thousand versus two hundred, basically no suspense.
Song Qi had already started thinking about how to torture Lin Feng.
According to Kong Jin's deployment, He Zhiwu led his team to leave Bin County after failing to persuade Lin Feng.
He chose a hillside outside the city and set up camp.
Kong Jin knew about the feud between Song Qi and his nephew and Lin Feng, so he handed the matter over to Song Qi.
He had a good calculation.
Song Qi, you take your men to deal with it. If anything goes wrong, you will be held accountable.
The conflict between Kong Jin and Lin Feng is not big, it’s just that Qingshui County is too eye-catching.
Everyone would be jealous of such a rich and prosperous region.
If we capture Linfeng at this time, Qingshui County will become a base for the border troops.
By then, Cui Yong will only praise himself.
Kong Jin took his guards and walked around the county town.
Survey the terrain and make a battle plan for the next step of wiping out Kuiwu Mountain.
Song Qi brought his own 500 men and another 500 men from the cavalry battalion assigned by Kong Jin.
A total of one thousand people marched into the county town in a mighty procession.
Song Qi and another general were immediately outside the Bin County government office.
The cavalry behind him slowly circled around and surrounded the entire county government office.
"General Yan, do you know this Lin Feng?"
The commander of the cavalry battalion was Yan Xinhua, a tall and thin man in his early thirties.
"General Song, I've heard of Lin Feng's name a long time ago. Even the soldiers in the camp know him."
"Haha, this person is cunning and cruel, and not easy to deal with. General Yan needs to be careful."
Yan Xinhua was stunned when he heard this.
"General Song, are you going to..."
"Capture this thief and seize the clean water."
"This...Does General Kong know about this?"
Yan Xinhua was confused. He only received orders from Kong Jin to cooperate with Song Qi, but he was not told what to do.
"It was General Kong's order. Lin Feng disobeyed the general's order and acted on his own. General Kong orders that he be arrested and awaits his punishment."
"But... Lin Feng is from the government army, should we..."
"Hmph..."
Song Qi sneered.
"The Imperial Guard? Lord He, the Military Commander of the Protectorate, has already led his men out of the city. It's obvious that the Imperial Guard doesn't like this guy either."
Yan Xinhua stroked his beard.
"Well, I heard that Lin Feng is a dictatorial person, but he made Qingshui very rich."
Song Qi raised his hand and pointed at the soldiers standing at the gate of the county government office.
"Look at these soldiers. They are all dressed better than our officers. How shameful!"
Yan Xinhua stopped talking and just nodded in agreement.
"Later, you and I will take the guards in and pass on the order. If Lin Feng doesn't obey orders, order him to be arrested."
"Wait, General Song, Lin Feng is a brave man, strong enough to kill the bronze-armored Tartars. We need to discuss a feasible solution."
Song Qi smiled disdainfully.
"General Yan, we have a thousand soldiers surrounding us. One can defeat ten with one's strength. No matter how powerful he is, we can still kill him with a siege."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"Let's get started."
Song Qi got off his horse and waved to the guards to clear the way.
More than twenty guards drew their swords and rushed towards the four guards at the yamen gate.
Lin Feng already knew that Kong Jin was dissatisfied with him.
In addition, Song Qi was in the team and he hated him very much.
Thinking that things are not good.
After returning to the county government office, he gathered his troops together to prepare for any eventuality.
Although Bin County is a small county town, the county government is very large.
Even after accommodating two hundred elite cavalrymen, there was still plenty of room.
The war horses were gathered together, and the soldiers spread out to guard the surroundings.
The wall of the county government office is more than ten feet high, and it is not easy to climb up.
In addition, their own troops have advanced weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the border troops is even worse.
Therefore, Lin Feng didn't take it too seriously.
It was almost noon and they were grilling meat in front of the fire in the lobby.
There was a commotion at the yamen gate, and Song Qi rushed in with hundreds of soldiers.
His own guards were suppressed and retreated to the front of the lobby.
Song Qi and Yan Xinhua stood at the front of the team, looking coldly at Lin Feng in the lobby.
"Lin Feng, you are so happy. I asked you to come and suppress the bandits, but you are just drinking and eating meat here, and you don't obey General Kong's orders. What crime should you take?"
Lin Feng took a sip of wine and squinted at Song Qi.
"Song Qi, that's great. You're a general now."
Song Qi's face turned red. He knew that Lin Feng was now a high-ranking officer in the government army, and was far ahead of him.
"Stop talking nonsense. General Kong has ordered you to surrender and await your punishment."
"You're such a joke! Kong Jin is a border soldier, and I'm a provincial soldier. I don't deserve your orders."
"Hey, Lin Feng, if you don't obey my orders, and we start fighting, your life or death will be in jeopardy."
"Do it?"
Lin Feng bit off a piece of dried meat that had been roasted with fat and chewed it slowly.
"Do you Song Qi have the courage?"
