Chapter 518: Ready to Fly
When Lin Feng sent everyone back, it was already night, and it was a full hour before Yang Neng's messenger left. Although it was not a short time for everyone to discuss the plan, in fact, the original plan did not change much, the only thing was that Lin Feng borrowed his two right-hand men, Chen Yang and Bian Hao, from Meng Hong, who was in charge of the generals in charge of the rear army.
Lin Feng, who was standing outside the tent, did not immediately go back to rest, but after watching everyone leave, he slowly paced for a while, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the stars in the sky and falling into contemplation alone, under the bright moonlight, although there were many soldiers patrolling back and forth around Lin Feng and on duty, but under the vast night sky, the dark figure was still a little lonely.
Although he had already deliberated and thought about it repeatedly just now, and discussed the most reliable countermeasures that everyone thought were the most reliable, Lin Feng still had a trace of anxiety in his heart. A few months ago, the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Pseudo-Qi under the city of Fengzhou, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it was Lin Feng, who rushed to the front line in the starry night, who led only tens of thousands of elite Feng family troops, and defeated the Pseudo-Qi in one go, especially the Modao Army, which became famous in the First World War, became a nightmare in the hearts of the Pseudo-Qi rebels.
But Lin Feng, who was in charge of the command at that time, knew very well that the battle was actually inconclusive, and he finally won the exclusive right to clean up the battlefield in name for the victorious side, which was just to take advantage of the special opportunity at that time, and took advantage of Shang Rang's scruples that the Feng family's army would fight desperately to kill the rear army where Huang Chao was at that time.
In fact, on the day when the decisive battle ended in a hurry, and even in a few days afterwards, Lin Feng had been thinking about the decisive battle that day, although Lin Feng also thought that the Feng family army had a great chance of winning, but he also understood that if it was not for the rainstorm raid that surprised everyone, the final result of the war was really unimaginable, even if it was won in the end, it would be a miserable victory, and it might even lead to the loss of several ace legions of the Feng family's army.
It's not that Lin Feng has a high evaluation of Shang Rang's military ability, nor is he concerned about Shang Rang's strength, but out of a most realistic idea from the heart. If the object of the decisive battle was Huang Chao, maybe Lin Feng would not have so many worries at all, in Lin Feng's consciousness, the difference between Shang Rang and Huang Chao was that one was a professional soldier, and the other was a part-time soldier The leader of the peasant rebel army, and he was also a leader whose thinking was limited.
It was precisely because of this difference that Lin Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart, Lin Feng absolutely did not believe that Shang Rang, who had the quality of a professional soldier and had been on the battlefield for a long time, would agree to fight again without any certainty of victory. The reason for the decisive battle, Lin Feng didn't think that Shang Rang was afraid of Huang Chao's holy decree and imperial order.
Although Lin Feng also had some concerns in his heart, but now the Feng family army has to fight a decisive battle, not only all the soldiers of the Feng family army on the Wuzhang Plain are striving to fight, but even the ** on the Fengzhou front, Lin Feng also knows that the reason why the morale is full is that it is entirely because what he did on the Wuzhang Plain gave everyone hope.
If the confrontation continues to drag on, this hope that has just brightened will soon gradually turn dim, and at that time, that is, the morale will be affected, and once the rebels of the pseudo-Qi find out that the Feng family army has simply crossed the Qinling Mountains and has not caused any practical harm to their rear capital, they will naturally rekindle their fighting spirit, and may even carry out a desperate counterattack.
Once this happens, not only will the situation of Lin Feng and others be extremely embarrassing, but the entire ** will also be affected, and even the entire Tang Empire will also be hit hard. It was precisely for these reasons that Lin Feng insisted on starting a decisive battle as soon as possible, even if he had concerns, and made a quick decision once and for all.
As the night breeze gradually cooled, Lin Feng under the starry sky had been standing in place for a long time, looking up, only to find that it had unconsciously entered the early morning, a gust of wind blew, Lin Feng couldn't help but reach out and tighten his neckline, dragging his slightly tired body, turned around and walked towards the tent.
Early in the morning, when the genius was bright, the defenders in Chencang County began to be busy, and the guard general Zhang Jun took his deputy general and a group of personal guards, rode his horse to patrol around the city, and marched slowly in the direction of the east gate, preparing to gather the defenders in the city, and later go out of the city to meet with Shang Rang, preparing for the upcoming Armageddon.
Because of the need to gather troops, the east gate was opened early in the morning, and the heralds who came in and out galloped wildly on their horses without hindrance. At the same time, small groups of soldiers and horses, under the leadership of their respective generals, quickly set off from the school field in the city and gathered outside the east gate one after another.
After Zhang Jun arrived at the East City Gate, he stretched out his hand to summon the two soldiers who had been arranged at the city gate last night, and after whispering a few words to each other, Zhang Jun waved the two away. Zhang Jun, who frowned slightly and was slightly puzzled, paused in place for a long time, and was about to leave, but saw a very familiar figure showing the token to the defenders outside the city gate, and couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, walked quickly to the city gate, stood still, took a few deep breaths, and began to look around casually, as if he was inspecting military affairs.
As the sound of horses' hooves became clearer in his ears, Zhang Jun's eyes lit up, he suddenly turned his head, and collided head-on with the person who had just passed the inspection, Zhang Jun suddenly looked surprised, but then looked at the person with a puzzled face, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Is it you?" How did you end up here? ”
"It turned out to be General Zhang!" It was none other than the messenger who had just entered the city, it was the messenger who asked to see Lin Feng in the Feng family's army tent last night, and after seeing Zhang Jun, the relaxed expression on the messenger's face suddenly froze, and the exhaustion on his face was suddenly swept away, but then he hugged his fist at Zhang Jun on horseback, and explained with a chuckle: "There were some temporary things just now, General Yang asked me to go out of the city to do it!" Just came back and was about to go home! ”
"Oh! What's up? Does it matter? Need my help? Zhang Jun nodded understandingly, then took two steps forward, stared into the messenger's eyes, and asked with a smile.
"A little thing, how dare you bother General Zhang!" The messenger hurriedly shook his head and thanked him: "It's been solved!" Thank you General Zhang for your kindness! ”
"Oh! That's good, that's good! Zhang Jun also smiled and nodded, he knew that the person in front of him was Yang Neng's right-hand man, so he was extremely polite when he spoke, and after returning the salute with a smile, Zhang Jun suddenly patted his head and reminded with a smile: "Oops! Look what I think! I won't delay you, you can go back to your life quickly! It's not too early, remember to remind General Yang, after all, he still has to gather his soldiers! ”
"Oh, yes!" The messenger also nodded extremely cooperatively, and then bowed his hand again: "Thank you General Zhang for reminding me, I almost forgot!" It's all to blame for not sleeping last night, not resting well! ”
"Be careful! Don't get too tired! There are some things that can be done by the people below! Hearing this, Zhang Jun sneered again and again in his heart, and naturally noticed the messenger's slip of the tongue, but he still had a smile on his face, arched his hand at the messenger, and reminded him with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you! General Zhang, take your leave for the time being, see you later! The reacting messenger didn't seem to want to delay any longer, and after smiling and nodding, he straightened the reins and urged his mount towards the city.
Zhang Jun, who turned around slowly, the smile on his face was swept away, replaced by a gloomy face, that is, the figure that gradually disappeared in front of him, in yesterday morning, Zhang Jun clearly saw it once, and in the following day, Zhang Jun never saw this person next to Yang Neng again.
