"Uh, what should the courtier do?" The ruthlessness in Lin Feng's eyes shocked Lin Xiao's heart.

"When I am not there, you will cooperate with Zhao Shide and others, and continue to recruit talents in a small area of Yan Country, without considering your background, without considering whether you have a criminal record, and only admit talents. In addition, the continued recruitment of new recruits must not be overlooked. Lin Feng patted Lin Xiao's immature shoulder and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

When he first saw Lin Xiao, Lin Feng was still worried that the other party would threaten his throne, but he had a good trust in Zhao Shide, but after today's incident, his attitude towards the two of them changed, and at the critical moment, the only one who supported him was Lin Xiao from the royal family, and Zhao Shide may betray himself in a difficult time. If it weren't for the shortage of talents in the DPRK and China, Zhao Shide would have been slaughtered today, and he would not have the backbone of a minister.

He made up his mind to go to the Black Flag Pass to defend against the enemy, but Lin Feng didn't rush there. Let Lei Jieying hold the emperor's edict and send blade soldiers to the three hundred miles around the capital, and order the release of all young and middle-aged prisoners in the cell.

The Dragoon Guards had experienced less than 10,000 people in the Great War outside the Fortress, and later recruited 2,000 new soldiers, but it could not change anything. This time, in the crisis of the Black Flag Pass, Lin Feng did not plan to take away the dragoon guards, on the contrary, he handed over the blade warriors to Lin Xiao, these people were one against ten, and with the 20,000 recruits in Lin Xiao's hands, it was enough to defend the capital. If you are not afraid that the South Korean side will commit chaos, you are afraid that you will not move.

The existence of eight people from the Korean side made Lin Feng like a mang, not to mention, they had 40,000 dead soldiers in their hands. If the army is outside, if there is not enough strength left, it is not impossible for the South Korean side and others to take risks and commit chaos.

If there were no strong troops left, Lin Feng would not be able to live in peace when he led his troops outside.

Lei Jieying had the heart to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he followed Lin Feng for a long time, understood the current situation of the court, knew that Han Fang and others were threatening the court, and got the order, although he didn't like it, he still chose to stay, the emperor was ambitious, there would definitely be many wars in the future, and he would not be missing.

On the other side, when Lin Feng was at a loss, Zhao Hongru suggested that in the area of Yanjing, the cells in various places were overcrowded, and there were about fifty or sixty thousand prisoners, especially Yanjing, so why not recruit prisoners and fill the army. Only then did the phenomenon of the release of prisoners occur.

Lin Feng was embarrassed, I am afraid that this is another masterpiece of his predecessor, but Zhao Hongru's suggestion was good, and after a little calculation, Lin Feng decided to take the risk and release the prisoner.

Yan country since ancient times the people are fierce, the people raise horses, on the horse is the cavalry, in the countryside and rivers and lakes, fights and brawls are prevalent, the predecessor in order to restrain the private fight, issued an order, dare to fight privately, all into the death row, unfortunately, the fierce people's customs, is not a decree can be stopped at all, not to mention some places, this decree is useless, only the people who can't afford the ransom will be put on death row.

The edict was promulgated, and there were blade warriors flickering, and showing fierce combat effectiveness. The effect was unexpected, the prisoners in the prison enthusiastically joined the army, many prisoners on death row, and there were not a few wronged prisoners, and the promulgation of the conscription policy made the prisoners seize the opportunity to gain freedom as if they had been granted amnesty.

In this era, the upper and lower hierarchies are strict, the family will always be the family, and the untouchables will always be untouchables, just because the family is strong and controls the military and government, the generals in the army, and the ministers in the DPRK and the central government are all from the wealthy families. Most of the lower-level sergeants were also from wealthy families, but those who were guilty of crimes could not go out of office for life and could not join the army, which greatly restricted the personal freedom of prisoners and made many people lose hope in their careers.

Lin Feng's decree issued at a special moment, regardless of previous suspicions, let the prisoners regain their freedom, wash their hands, and have the opportunity to join the army as an official, as long as they are not Hun people, no one wants to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention that the dragoon guard is one of the two powerful forces of the Yan Kingdom, a few months ago, the destruction of the Rong Zuoxian Wang Department can be described as a great military achievement, brilliant for thousands of years.

Taking a step back, participating in the Dragoon Guard means that you cannot make meritorious service on the battlefield, you will be a pawn for life, and you will also have a good military salary every month, which is very different from the situation in prison.

All the prisoners who dare to participate in the dragoon guard have the idea of making meritorious contributions, especially the idea of death row prisoners, killing people is not enough, if they do not kill people, how can they become death row prisoners, joining the army only legalizes killing.

A series of policies and flickering have had an unexpected effect.

Lin Feng dared to accept death row prisoners, not only because he was cornered, but also because Dayan was located on the border of the northern country, and the folk customs were quite strong, and there would often be armed fights.

In the evening of the next day, a total of 40,000 death row prisoners were recruited, entered Beijing to receive equipment and horses, and the 40,000 death row prisoners immediately turned into 40,000 dragoon guards, merged with the dragoon guard veterans, and stationed in the northern camp of Yanjing, and set off on the same day.

When recruiting prisoners, Lin Feng was not idle, and came to Yushu Garden again. The Rong clan went south to attack Yan, with the intention of avenging King Zuoxian, and because of the news, the eldest princess of the Rong clan was taken away by the Yan country, and the crowd was excited.

For a long time, Murong Mengfei's attitude towards Lin Feng has changed from hatred to complexity, inexplicable, and disturbing.

A few months ago, Lin Feng defeated Zuo Xian's royal department and captured her, his heart was sad, thinking that he would fall into the hands of the faint king, there would definitely be no good ending, during this period, Lin Feng did despise her, but he did not do anything unbearable. However, as they got along, this person showed great military talent. Later, she participated in salt making and winemaking, and witnessed Lin Feng's ability to turn decay into magic, and in just a few months, the new salt and new wine swept away the leaves with the autumn wind, sweeping the whole time, and the profits were huge, enough to support Lin Feng to train 80,000 recruits, and occasionally replenish the vacancy in the treasury.

Recently, I heard that my father Khan led his troops south, and I thought that the army of Yan was weak, Lin Feng had not returned from his southern tour, and 300,000 compatriots could easily contribute to the Black Flag Pass.

However, Lin Feng once again surprised her, after being missing for a few months, the dragon suddenly appeared, with nearly 10,000 elites, not to mention, it was even rumored in the palace that before returning to Beijing, Lin Feng had discharged more than 70,000 elite soldiers to the north to resist the clansmen.

As she got to know Lin Feng, she became more and more incomprehensible, saying that he was incompetent, but he made enough money and food to support the training, saying that he ignored the government and politics, but was secretly training soldiers, and in just a few months, he trained a group of homeless people into elite soldiers, and successfully concealed everyone.

This kind of ability, even the wise monarch on the mainland, may not be able to compare with him.

Entering the middle of October, the cold air in the north slowly blows to the south, and the climate of Yan changes suddenly, blowing a biting cold wind, and it will snow at any time. Lin Feng appeared in Yushuyuan, Murong Mengfei was wearing a white cardigan skirt, inlaid with a green placket, and a red belt tied around her waist, bringing a piece of greenery and warmth to the winter, and she was wearing a mink fur coat outside, which looked plush and cute, and she was sitting by the fire in a daze with red boots.

Over the past few months, she has gradually become accustomed to the life in the palace, the food is exquisite, the clothes are gorgeous, all kinds of rouge gouache, and there is a vast sea of books.

All this seems to be enviable, but she is terrified and sleepless at night.

Yan Guo is not a grassland after all, she is still called a princess, but it is ironic. Lin Feng neither let her go back to her freedom, nor summoned her, like a vase for ornamentation, thrown in the palace, ignoring it, not asking or hearing about it.

The lady in front of her is slender, with delicate long black hair, scattered on her shoulders, slightly feminine, and her eyebrows are upright, with a faint sadness, which seems to be unspeakably bitter, but it shows a strange demeanor, which makes people feel love and pity.

Lin Feng stepped forward, without any reserve and pretentiousness, sitting beside the beauty, a faint fragrance came into his nose, stretched out his hand to hold the beauty's silky red crisp hand, and his tone was elegant, as if he was discussing, "I'm going to the north to fight!" ”

After experiencing the relationship when making new wine, Lin Feng thought that he knew the beauty in front of him, rude, stubborn, unwilling to admit defeat, sensitive, fragile, and simple-minded, since then, he rarely bullied Murong Mengfei, the two seem to be friends, but they are less intimate, like enemies, and there is a slight affection between them, and it is difficult to position each other.

Murong Mengfei was grabbed by Lin Feng's hand, her body was slightly swayed, and she hurriedly wanted to pull it out, but she was so held that she couldn't pull it out at all, and a flush appeared shyly on her cheeks.

Hearing that Lin Feng was preparing to go north to resist the clansmen, her red lips squirmed slightly, and she seemed to have something to say, but she didn't make any sound.

The two sat quietly, enjoying the rare silence, silent for a long time, the beauty raised her head, and stared at Lin Feng with a pair of talking eyes. "If you let me go back, I will try to convince my father to avoid the two countries from facing each other, otherwise, the Yan Kingdom will definitely fall apart in front of the 300,000 iron horsemen of the Rong clan."

Murong Mengfei couldn't guess what Lin Feng meant when he came to Yushuyuan, and simply thought that Lin Feng might come to take the blame for asking for guilt, curry favor with her, and persuade his father Khan to withdraw from the army.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, smiled lightly, took out the fold from the black flag pass half a quarter ago in his sleeve, and sent it to Murong Mengfei. "This war, irreconcilable, even if you are allowed to go back, it will not be possible to avoid the war between the two countries, besides, you know many of my secrets, how can you let you go back, besides, I will not let my women participate in the war, even if the country perishes, you are no exception."

Since the Rong tribe sent troops to attack the Black Flag Pass, Lin Feng has always had a doubt in his heart, why the Great Khan of the Rong tribe was destroyed in the Zuoxian Wang's department, and when the eldest princess was captured, he took advantage of the hatred of the clan and sent troops south to take revenge, but chose the winter season.

Any general with rich combat experience will not be stupid enough to fight in winter, especially in this season, which poses a great threat to the steppe cavalry.
