Section V

The following days were simply dark, and under the leadership of Lin Feng, this team that had just won the battle climbed into the deep mountains and old forests. Because of the fear of being discovered by the Qing army, the troops chose those remote paths to march, along the way the wind and cranes were panicked, but under the huge pressure of survival, the morale was not too bad, so over the mountains and mountains Xiaoxing stayed overnight, staggered along the trail that the mountain people had stepped on for hundreds of years, here the excellent physical fitness of the ancient people made Lin Feng greatly open his eyes, it was really unbelievable, the physical strength of human beings was not inferior to any kind of livestock, in some rugged areas, Lin Feng was dumbfounded to see, These strong and sturdy men can actually carry a large number of heavy carriages on their shoulders, and then they themselves are also burdened with a large amount of grain baggage, and the vanguard led by Zhao Guangyuan also fully demonstrated the strength of a field army at this time.

If you can go back to the previous life, Lin Feng will definitely oppose the protection of the natural environment, because this time he has indeed suffered enough from nature, although the location of this outing is a famous tourist scenic spot in the previous life, and the number of varieties of various wild animals in the forest and grassland is much more wonderful than in the previous life, but absolutely no one can have a little bit of leisure and elegance, at this moment, Lin Feng deeply understood why the ancient people did not like to travel at home - just imagine, When camping in the wilderness, there were a few tiger howls and wolf howls in his ears from time to time, and then he grabbed a poisonous snake with his hand.

But these are not the most painful for Lin Feng, who is fleeing for his life, thousands of people suddenly found themselves in a predicament after wandering around Yandang Mountain for a few days - they were lost, this problem was a big surprise to Lin Feng, because according to the martial arts novels of the previous life, there must be some mysterious things such as ancient temples and deserted villages in the deep mountains and old forests like this, and ordinary people outside the world usually like to nest in this kind of place to read books and practice exercises, but unfortunately this time Lin Feng was very unlucky, and the team of people walked for seven or eight days. The fact that it didn't encounter anything like an artificial structure made the whole army fall into a state of confusion. At this point, Lin Feng deeply hated Jin Yong Gulong, because this fatal misdirection was likely to wipe out this army.

The solution of this problem is due to Zhao Guangyuan's luck, because he caught a local mountain hunter when he was exploring the road one day, unfortunately, this hunter was tracking an injured leopard, but accidentally bumped into Zhao Guangyuan's cavalry, so he was immediately arrested on the charge of Qing soldier scout, after a violent beating, this unlucky hunter aggrievedly agreed to lead the way, and then reported that he was angry and then surprised in advance to advance twenty taels of silver to lead the way.

According to the interrogation of the Qing soldiers scouts (innocent hunters), Lin Feng knew that the direction was not wrong, and now the troops were about to get out of Yandang Mountain, and the current position was the remnant of North Yandang, which was under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou Prefecture, and now the nearest county seat to him was called Linji County, which was only more than 200 miles away from the brigade.

Although his subordinates are all strong men, but after so many days of long travel, they are now very tired, thinking that if they don't find a place to rest, I'm afraid that in a few days, this army will collapse, looking at this exhausted face, Lin Feng decisively ordered to attack the county seat.

When Lin Feng led more than 2,000 soldiers to lurk near the county seat, the sky had completely darkened, looking at this so-called "county seat", Lin Feng let out a long sigh, he couldn't imagine that the siege maiden battle in his military career was actually dedicated to such a garbage place, this city is simply an insult to the Chinese civilization's city building technology. Said to be the county seat, Lin Feng felt more like a village or town or something, the wall of the earthen fortress was actually less than three meters high, and it was estimated that there would be no more than 10,000 people living in it in terms of the size of the city.

After that, things became very simple, just when the old and sick people at the city gate were about to close the door, Zhao Guangyuan rushed directly into it with his two hundred and fifty cavalry, and the defenders in the county town were very acquainted, and they put down their weapons directly without any resistance, when Lin Feng led the infantry into the city, the whole city closed its doors, and the trampling of horses' hooves looked extremely lonely on the empty streets, and there were a few dog barks at the beginning, but unfortunately it stopped abruptly after a few barks, as if someone was suddenly stuck in the throat.

The siege ended smoothly, and a total of 107 people led by the officers and soldiers of the county garrison were all taken prisoner, and no one was injured in the whole battle except for the old men who watched the city gate. Lin Feng led Li Ergou and other personal soldiers and Liu Laosi, Wang Dahai, and the generals swaggered into the county office, and the county order was already pulled out of bed by Zhao Guangyuan, and the five flowers were tied up strongly.

This county magistrate is a young man in his twenties, wearing a moon-white shirt at the moment, his hair is messily gathered behind his head, and he stubbornly refuses to kneel. To Lin Feng's surprise, his expression didn't seem to be too nervous, and he didn't scold "anti-thief rebellion" or anything, he just stood there quietly, looking at Lin Feng with a little surprise in his eyes, but when Lin Feng looked at him, he immediately looked away and put on a look of indifference.

It's kind of interesting.

Lin Feng sat on the chair that originally belonged to the county order, patted the wood, and asked with a smile, "Why did you go to bed so early?" Didn't schedule a show in the evening?! ”

The soldiers next to him looked at each other, no one expected Lin Feng to ask such an inexplicable sentence.

The county commander was also stunned for a moment, "I'm tired, go to bed early!" ”

"Untie, untie!" Lin Feng waved his hand at his own soldiers, turned his head and smiled, "Your Excellency?!" - Don't stand, sit, sit, sit, let's talk. ”

The county magistrate straightened his clothes, pulled his hair into braids, and sat down unceremoniously, "Don't dare, the little surname Zhou-Zhou Chang, the word Peigong, the current county magistrate of Linji County," he stared at Lin Feng in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "General's surname?!" ”

"Hehe, my lord is polite, my surname is Lin, Lin Feng," Lin Feng replied with a smile, "It turned out to be Zhou County's order, I said Pei Gong......" He suddenly seemed to be burned by the fire, jumped up from the chair, looked at Zhou Chang in disbelief, stayed for a long time before coming back to his senses, and stammered and asked, "...... You...... You are Zhou Peigong!! In his memory, this person seems to be an important general of Kangxi, who was once entrusted with a large army to conquer one side, and heard that China's first detailed national military map was made by this person, but he did not expect to be a county commander in such a small county.

Seeing Lin Feng so out of shape, Zhou Peigong was very surprised, "Doesn't the general know him?!" ”

"No, no! I recognized the wrong person! Lin Feng came to his senses from the shock, sat down again, and waved his hand at Zhou Peigong, "Zhou County's order is very much like a friend of mine!" ”

So that's the case, although Zhou Peigong felt a little strange, but it was inconvenient to ask carefully, he smiled slightly, "The general treats me so well, is it because he wants to persuade him to surrender?!" ”

Persuasion? Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, "It's not a secret, our team is fleeing for their lives, not here to attack the city and plunder the land, at the moment the Qing army is in the limelight, let's take advantage of Guixian County to avoid the limelight, and we don't dare to delay Lord Zhou's future in the imperial court!" ”

Zhou Peigong was stunned for a moment, "Then why didn't your army surrender to our army?!" ”

Lin Feng exchanged a helpless look with the generals in the lobby, and said with a wry smile, "The issue of surrender is too complicated, so we have to pay attention to opportunities, we have to look at the situation!" ”

Zhou Peigong frowned and said, "Your army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of my Great Qing Dynasty, and it is neither willing to surrender nor fight, so what are you going to do?!" ”

Liu Laosi couldn't help but jump out and scolded, "Fuck, what are you going to do with your shit, you can ...... the fuck if you don't talk about it" Lin Feng hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him, "It's not that you don't surrender or fight, it's just that you have to make a decision after a while!" ”

Looking at Zhou Peigong's puzzled look, Lin Feng said with a smile, "To be honest, our brothers are all old subordinates of King Jingnan, and they are veterans he brought from Liaodong, although he has not given us any benefits, but he surrendered like this, I am afraid that others will say that we are too unrighteous!" Lin Feng turned his head to look at Zhao Guangyuan, Liu Laosi and the others in the hall, only to see them nodding slowly, thinking deeply.

"But now we are alone, helpless and helpless, if we want to fight with the Qing Dynasty to the end, I'm afraid we will only lose our lives in vain, and we won't do such stupid things!" Lin Feng smiled at the people next to him, and the officers nodded again and again.

Zhou Peigong said puzzledly, "What does the general mean?" ……”

"Let's put it this way, let's be stationed here, if the soldiers and horses of King Jingnan can fight over, we will send troops to respond, and we will definitely take care of righteousness," Lin Feng stood up with an excited expression, and when the officers showed a solemn look, he smiled slightly, "However, if the King of Jingnan himself is difficult to protect, we have to find a way to survive for ourselves, and when the time comes, surrender to the Qing Dynasty, no one has anything to say!" ”

After Lin Feng said this, the officers all looked happy, and they felt that they really didn't follow the wrong person, this boss not only has good strategy, but also has both righteousness and brains, and he will definitely have a great future in the future.

Zhou Peigong laughed, pointed at Lin Feng and shook his head again and again, "The general is really scheming!" ”

"That's it, let's just wait here, the King of Jingnan is here, we are still his subordinates, if the imperial army comes, we will immediately abandon the darkness and turn to the light, anyway, this desolate small county, no one can look down on it for a while," Lin Feng said with a smile, "Everything is business as usual in this Linji County, Lord Zhou, you are still your county commander, I also bring my soldiers, let's talk about making friends, the two have nothing to do with business, how about it?!" ”

Zhou Peigong thought about it for a while, he is well versed in strategy, and naturally he is not a pedantic person, now that he has fallen into the hands of people, if he doesn't say a word, most of them will immediately fall to the ground, and according to his understanding of the battle situation, Geng Jingzhong must be defeated, and this General Lin's troops will most likely surrender in the future, and then he will have a good time around, not only is he not guilty, but it is very likely to get a great merit of "persuading the enemy chieftain to surrender" - anyway, he didn't surrender, did he? With so many people present, it is rare for anyone to wronged me in the future.

Thinking of this, he stood up and arched his hand towards Lin Feng, "The general has arranged it so thoughtfully, he dares to disobey his orders?!! ”
