Section 14 Garrisoning at border gates

Guangbin City, a city on the border of Qichu, has extremely strong city defenses. The city lord's name is Cheng Feng, a talented military strategist.

In the early years, in the imperial examination held by Emperor Qi Tai, he was appreciated by Emperor Qi Tai for a "Proposal for the Restructuring of the Qi Army", and was directly promoted to captain to defend the east gate of Nanjin City, and later in the fourth year of Emperor Qitai's reign, the five princes rebelled and besieged Nanjin City, and personally went up to the city tower to deal with the Haicheng army of Xiao Bairui, the most powerful of the five princes, so that its attack was frustrated again and again, and finally held on for ten days, and when Long Yinqiang and Li Fuliang led the army to arrive, they should be annihilated by the inside and outside, and made military achievements. He was promoted to General Pingkou and Governor of Nanjin City, managing the garrison affairs in Nanjin City.

As a result, the city defense of Nanjin City under Cheng Feng's * appeared to be outstanding in the entire Great Qi, and after a few years, due to the retirement of the original city lord of Guangbin City, Emperor Qi Tai ordered Cheng Feng to take the position of the border city lord until today.

Yu Wenxie had already heard his father Yu Wen Xuanliang talk about this person, but he had never had time to visit, so he took advantage of the opportunity of this stationing to ask for advice on the experience of city defense.

Yu Wenxie thought about walking, and finally walked to the edge of Guangbin City before the sky was almost dark, the city gate was about to be closed, Yu Wenxie hurriedly urged him to step forward, Chen Ming's intentions, and showed Shang Fang's sword, after the guards informed Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng stood at the head of the city, looked at Yu Wenxie and the Shang Fang sword in his hand, and then ordered the sergeants to disperse, so that the seven thousand people were stationed in the military camp that had been arranged.

The night, lonely and long, in the barracks, the soldiers did not drink and have fun, but competed for fun, the 7,000 warriors carefully selected by Yu Wenxie and the 80,000 soldiers stationed in this Guangbin City together, wrestling, archery, and night battles in the barracks, so lively.

Yu Wenxie and Cheng Feng sat in front of the big tent and toasted each other. This night, not only did these 7,000 pioneer warriors learn a lot, but Yu Wenxie also talked with Cheng Feng very happily.

The two commented on the past and the present, and their temperaments and temperaments were quite similar. Before returning to the camp with Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng exclaimed: "I have a handsome talent like General Yuwen in Daqi, which is really a blessing for Daqi!" Yu Wenxie hugged his fists: "Senior Cheng, you have won the award, you are not talented in your later years, how dare you make an axe in front of your predecessors and show off the military?" Besides, he is only a pioneer officer now, how dare he dream of the official position of a marshal? Cheng Feng waved his hand: "Major General, there is no need to be humble, I, Cheng Feng, have always been very accurate in looking at people, especially people in the military field, the way of thinking of a major general is indeed different from that of ordinary generals and even ordinary marshals, it seems that the Yuwen family will be glorious in your generation!" When the battle on the Qichu border is over, I will personally go to Emperor Qi Tai and recommend the major general! Yu Wenxie hurriedly thanked him.

The two drank another cup together, and then went back to their respective accounts. On this night, not only the army of Qi arrived at the border of Qi and Chu, but the army of Chu also came here, Shangguan Yinli ordered the army to rest in the woods, and took Ouyang Liang, the royal brother of Chu Yingzong, to an unknown hill, looking at Guangbin City, Shangguan Yinli said to Ouyang Liang: "General Ouyang, do you see the brightly lit city in front?" Ouyang nodded brightly, and Shangguan Yinli said: "That, it is Guangbin City, the border city between the Qi State and my Chu State, and the city lord is called Cheng Feng, who is a good defender in defensive warfare." Shangguan Yinli rubbed his chin and said: "This city is brightly lit, it should be the vanguard of Qi State, tomorrow we will select 8,000 elite soldiers from our 200,000 soldiers, and order General Li Dan to go to fight!" While the large army of Qi has not yet arrived, it is best that we can use our numerical advantage to break this border town! Ouyang Liang nodded, and together with Shangguan Yinli, he looked at the Great Qi Land in the north...
