Chapter 191: Next Steps
"Then, what kind of lieutenant general is Zhao Maozi, is it still accurate?" Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth to ask Lin Feng's opinion, after all, Lin Feng was the boss here.
"Of course! Oh no! Lin Feng blurted out, then shook his head, pondered for a while, and then remade up his mind: "The position of General Zhonglang must be accurate!" This letter of appointment will be issued, and he will be promoted! Since Lao Chen didn't say anything in his heart, then there should be no problem with this person, except for the letter of appointment of General Zhonglang, and another letter of appointment for being promoted to General Ningyuan from Sipin! That's right, with a pentagonal maple badge! ”
"This..." Everyone present suddenly didn't react, although everyone was wearing a five-pointed maple badge, but the meaning of this five-pointed maple badge was extraordinary, just after hearing Lin Feng say that he wanted to award it to a general who didn't seem to have any credit to the Feng family's army, he was a little stunned, and even wanted to stop it.
"What are you doing?! Don't think about it, it's definitely right! Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized that everyone had concerns, waved his hand and smiled and analyzed it for everyone: "Think about it, our Feng family army has always been based on cavalry field battles, and what we need this time is also a cavalry!" Lao Chen, will they be able to train a thousand foot soldiers? In addition to the two hundred Mo sword soldiers, more than 1,000 people are going to ride horses! Don't forget, Lao Chen and the others only had more than a hundred war horses when they left, not to mention those who pulled the carts! Do you think that one Mianshui County alone can make up more than a thousand war horses? In that case, I'm afraid it won't be a county but a state! ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and Li Xiaofeng immediately opened his mouth to take over the words: "Brother-in-law, you mean, this Zhonglang general named Zhao Maozi is the war horse he helped get?!" ”
Although everyone was reluctant to believe this explanation, this was the only one that could be explained at the moment, after all, compared to Chen Wansan's ability to train more than a thousand foot soldiers, they were more willing to believe that Zhao Maozi helped get the war horse!
"Hmmm! I think so! But what is the origin of this Zhao Maozi and how he got so many war horses, we don't know, after all, the letter didn't mention it! But I believe that in such an important matter, Lao Chen will make a decision casually! After thinking about it for a while, Lin Feng said his thoughts, and completely solved the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"That's good! Give him a position, so that he can follow Lao Chen with all his heart! Zhou Chen nodded and agreed, even if Zhao Maozi's official position was given.
"Well, didn't the letter say that too? There are nearly 1,000 of Zhao Maozi's subordinates in Luzhou, this is a target that must be wooed! Lin Feng nodded again, then reached out and knocked his head, adding again: "In addition, the rights and responsibilities of General Ningyuan from the fourth grade are also handed over to him!" It is not difficult to see from the letter that Lao Chen still has some hope for this person, since this is the case, then directly let go of the right and let that Zhao Maozi work hard by himself! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again, they were all generals with their own subordinates, and naturally knew that this one from the fourth rank of General Ning Yuan had all the rights, that could expand his own people openly, just a general from the fourth grade, if there is no restriction, at least six to eight provinces of troops, and the original Zhao Maozi, as a captain, only controlled the soldiers and horses of one province, and now it has multiplied several times.
It can be said that if Zhao Maozi really pulls up such an army, he will stand with everyone present in the future. Even the people in this tent, who directly commanded the most troops, counted the 14,000 people under Zhou Chen's command, but there were generals under his command who wanted to command the troops separately. If the number of direct commanders is used, then Mao Hao's 8,000 winged cavalry is the largest among the generals in the tent.
"Don't think about it that much! Not to mention that he can't pull so many soldiers and horses, even if he does, what are you worried about? He still doesn't belong to our Feng family's army? Seeing that everyone looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, Lin Feng understood the concerns in everyone's hearts, and explained to everyone with a light smile on his face, and then his face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If the Feng family army can drag him up, he can also press him down!" If he does things for the Feng family army wholeheartedly, it doesn't matter if he gets promoted and makes a fortune, but if he thinks about anything else, hum. ”
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was self-evident, especially the tone at the end, which made everyone shudder, and even felt that the air around them suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees! Immediately, everyone looked at each other, shook their heads, threw out their concerns, and nodded one after another to indicate that they had no other thoughts.
"That's it! Now that Lao Chen's side has made a decision, it's time for us to plan the next step! Lin Feng took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, waved his hand slightly at everyone, and then walked quickly back to the back of the handsome case, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the map on the wall.
What's next? Everyone in front of the handsome case turned their puzzled eyes to each other, but they all looked unaware, and finally had to focus on Lin Feng's back, quietly waiting for the new handsome order.
After a long time, Lin Feng sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Zhou Chen, lead the people of the headquarters, choose a day to set off the camp, and go to the northeast outside Jiazhou City to station, remember, there is no need to attack the city, no matter what happens, just stick to the camp, and at the same time, choose a place to camp, close to the Minjiang River, choose a narrow part of the river, and build a dam to Tunshui!" ”
Although Zhou Chen didn't quite understand why he did this, he was only slightly stunned, glanced at the people around him, and immediately clenched his fists and took the order: "Get the order!" ”
"Mao Hao listens to orders!" As soon as Zhou Chen received the order, Lin Feng immediately continued to speak: "After Zhou Chen's troops left, you will lead the entire winged cavalry regiment to Jiazhou as well, but you must spare Jiazhou and garrison troops in the upper reaches of the Tsing Yi River and Dadu River in the southwest of Jiazhou!" ”
Mao Hao had just taken a step forward and was about to receive his order, Lin Feng suddenly stretched out his arm, looked at the map in front of him and frowned, and added in a deep voice: "At that time, you can scatter more scouts to go out, even if there are rebels from Jiazhou who want to sneak attack, if you are prepared, there are no four or five times as many soldiers and horses, it is simply not enough for the winged cavalry regiment!" ”
Although the words were arrogant, everyone present thought it was true, so they just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He also looked at Mao Hao with envy, and was also fiercely 'jealous' in his heart, Mao Hao, who held the essence of the Feng family's military spirit.
"Big brother, don't worry! No problem! I also don't know why I did this, Mao Hao still clenched his fists and took his life, his face full of confidence.
"That's right, Zhou Chen!" Finally, Lin Feng turned around, raised his arm and pointed at Zhou Chen, paused for a moment, and added with a frown: "When the time comes, you will divide a force, and the number of people should not be too many, you can protect yourself under normal circumstances!" Find a suitable place to camp between the two camps of you and Mao Hao, not only can you do the same to each other, but also show weakness to the rebels in Jiazhou, if the other party is willing to go out of the city to sneak attack, it will be great! ”
"Haha! If they dare to come out! I'm sure they're going to come and go! Without waiting for Lin Feng to finish speaking, Mao Hao laughed and took over. Immediately, Zhou Chen also nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!" ”
