Chapter 119: Return to the city for repairs
Taking out a whetstone under the table, Lin Feng continued to sharpen the blade of the horse chopping blade.
On the school field outside the house, the soldiers who had returned from hunting were talking about it, and some people could constantly be heard boasting about their attacks, and there were also cheers from time to time.
People from different squads are competing with each other, and they all think that their squads are doing a good job, and occasionally they will start arguments.
Lin Feng likes this atmosphere of competition with each other, without comparison, there is no strength and weakness, and the potential of the fighters cannot be stimulated, so how can they improve their combat effectiveness.
After a month of training, he commanded 160,000 men, and the veterans have become more and more proficient in the art of warfare, and their own casualties have been drastically reduced when they inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
The newly accepted captives are not too strong in combat effectiveness, but their will to fight is very strong, and when they encounter the Donghu tribe, they are not far behind, and the anger that has been accumulated in their hearts for many years is all vented on the other party.
Now, whether it is a veteran or a recruit, they all understand one truth, only by constantly fighting, can they improve faster, they are like Lin Feng with a blunt sword in his hand, and Donghu people are like whetstones.
Only by constantly polishing the sword will it become sharper and sharper, and only by constantly fighting and winning can it shape the confidence of the whole army to be invincible and the courage to defy all the heroes in the world.
In the past month, in the face of Donghu, the Youzhou army has won successive battles, like wolves and tigers on the western front, and the Donghu people who defeated the Huns were defeated into an army, and the soldiers are now more and more confident in their own strength, and the recruits are not afraid of the Donghu people.
Just as Lin Feng taught on weekdays, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, and angry sheep can also kill jackals.
But Lin Feng and Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng and the others had clear minds, in the past month, the opponents who were defeated and annihilated by themselves were only an insignificant part of the giant-like Donghu tribe, and in the heart of the Donghu King, he might even remember the names of these tribes.
This is like many emperors among the princes and countries, how many people care about themselves, in the eyes of these people, the war launched by Lin Feng is probably just a child's house!
Lin Feng's heart is like a mirror, the Youzhou army is currently making a small fight, and it will not hurt Donghu at all, and the other party will not care, if the movement is a little bigger, it will touch the scales of Donghu. There will definitely be powerful tribes who will go south to seek revenge, or the king of Donghu will send elite troops to stop him. It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng decided to shrink the war and repair Youzhou City in time.
No matter how proud a soldier will improve a soldier's fighting courage, Lin Feng always requires the generals of the whole army to be sober and clear about the current situation in Yan Kingdom.
In front of the king of Donghu, who controls millions of strings, defeats the Huns, and is in full swing, it is really difficult to improve the strength of the Yan Kingdom at the moment.
If the king of Donghu made a desperate gamble and sent 200,000 or 300,000 cavalry, although the Yan State would no longer be a national battle, it would be enough to drink a pot.
Even if he wins by luck, he is afraid that if he kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, the strength of Yan Kingdom will lose a lot, which is not what he wants.
It's a pity that in the absence of an alliance and when Zhao Song is eyeing him, he has to take risks.
However, continuous combat is also a good thing, the combat effectiveness and morale of the fighters are constantly improving, and they hone themselves in the killing and sum up their experience.
At present, Lin Feng dared to say that the strength of the 160,000 cavalry in Youzhou was definitely the first in the Yan Kingdom. If it weren't for the continuous change of defense, he would take Zhang Yu's suggestion and bring the soldiers from all over the Yan Kingdom to the northern grassland for training within a fixed time.
The door creaked open, and Wen Jishi appeared by the door.
Lin Feng traveled north, and only Hou Mingfeng was brought with him in the army, while Wen Chen took Wen Jishi and Ji Qiong.
The queen in the palace listened to the government, and Situ was in charge of the government, assisted by Zhao Shide, Liu Xuanyuan, Li Mengchang, and Yu Zheming.
In fact, if there is a big event, the queen will always discuss with Concubine Su and Concubine Xiao Shu, although these two are daughters, they are knowledgeable, and if there is no unified result, they will be sent to the front line and handed over to Lin Feng.
In order to take care of his daily life, after the queen discussed, Zhao Ziyan, Yang Zixi, and Chu Xiangyu took care of her in Youzhou, but they couldn't go to the front line.
"Your Majesty, there are three people outside, saying that they are Hun envoys!"
"Sit down and say, do you know what you're coming for?" Lin Feng pointed to the bench opposite, kept in his hand, poured a glass of warm wine, and sent it to Wen Jishi.
He brought Wen Ji Shi to the front line because he had an outstanding vision in strategy and tactics, and he was not sloppy in handling major affairs, and he was very relieved.
"The Huns want to redeem the Xiongnu prisoners of war we captured in the Donghu tribe, on the condition that two war horses be exchanged for one prisoner." Wen Ji Shi said.
"Tell me what you mean!" Lin Feng warmed the hot wine, sent a glass to Master Wen Ji, and asked.
"Yes! The Xiongnu were defeated by Zhao and Donghu, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry were captured and enslaved, resulting in a great reduction in the strength of the Xiongnu. At present, we have captured the Hun soldiers, except for a few who surrendered, most of them were taken to Cangyan Mountain to work as coolies.
Chenjue, since the Xiongnu took the initiative to redeem the captives, why not sell them to the other party? Wen Jishi sniffed the wine, a little intoxicated.
"I can also agree, the Xiongnu are newly defeated, and they must be jealous of the Zhao State, Donghu and the Rong people. The strength of the Zhao State is too strong, and the Xiongnu will definitely not take the initiative to provoke it in a short period of time, as for the Rong people, after the grassland war, they have moved to the border area of the Zhao State, and the Huns do not dare to provoke.
Only Donghu, if this battle is not for the Donghu sneak attack, the Huns may not be defeated, think that the Huns are the most jealous in their hearts than the Donghu people, and now they are gathering the remnants of the army, they must be looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Donghu.
Donghu is too big in the north, and it is impossible for Yan to swallow it all, but once there is civil strife on the grassland, it is a good time for Yan to swallow it. Lin Feng said. Tell the Huns that in order to show the friendship between the two countries, each prisoner of war will only receive one war horse and one sheepskin. ”
Lin Feng had a plan in his heart, at present, the Youzhou army has achieved a small victory on the grassland, and has not yet touched the core of Donghu, rather than letting Donghu dominate on the grassland, it is better to support the Huns.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and one will be injured when two tigers fight. This is the situation he is most willing to see, and it is also the most beneficial situation for Yan Guo.
"Since the emperor has decided, the minister will do it?"
Lin Feng laughed, and when Wen Jishi got up, he asked again; "Ji Shi, the army has been fighting the grassland for a month, and in the past two days, I am going to lead the army back to Youzhou City to repair, and send people to continue to explore the tribes near Youzhou City.
"The minister thinks that General Zhang's suggestion is feasible, instead of the army repairing in Youzhou, it is better to change the defense and hone the new armies in various places" Wen Jishi drank warm wine and said with a smile! "In addition, although Donghu is strong, the tribe is too scattered, and the cicadas eat step by step, this is an opportunity."
Youzhou City, rebuilt by Yan State, the city wall is higher, wider and thicker than before, although I dare not say that one husband is not open, but it can also block the harassment of the Donghu people, and the Donghu people want to go in and out of the plunder, it is almost impossible.
Relying on the newly built sentry towers on various street corners, the city will also form an effective blockade against the enemy, delay the enemy's attack and expand the opponent's casualties.
The streets are also much wider, and after the re-planning of the city, the mule and horse market was built, which is more prosperous and lively than before, and it is much more reasonable, and the streets extending in all directions divide the city into several different areas, and the division of labor in the city is becoming more and more clear.
Lin Feng's mansion in Youzhou City is not a state capital, but a manor, which is similar to the manor where Chu Xiangyu and Yang Zixi once lived.
Youzhou Chengzhou Mansion, when Zhang Yu invaded Youzhou, has been burned down by Jin officials, and later Zhang Yu was in charge of Anyi County, rebuilt on the original basis, in order not to affect the officials to deal with government affairs, Lin Feng chose this house.
When he walked to the door with the guards, he glanced at the defense on all sides, and saw that there were many people guarding on all sides, and there were teams patrolling on all sides of the manor, so he settled down and walked in.
The manor is not big, Lin Feng walked in, and when the maid saw him, she hurriedly pressed it, turned her head and said to the inside: "Zhaoyi, the emperor is back!" ”
The first one to come out of the inner hall was Zhao Ziyan, who hadn't seen him for a month, but he was much more beautiful, and there were a few light blue flowers embroidered on the body of the fairy skirt, which looked elegant and chic.
In front of Lin Feng, Ziyan has always been quiet, ladylike, and cautious, but today she can't help but miss it.
"Xianggong, you're back, you want to die! Zhao Ziyan opened his hands and threw himself into Lin Feng's arms desperately, Lin Feng laughed and reached out to hug her, a reversal, and a baby hugged Zhao Ziyan in his arms and let her sit on his lap.
"Thin, Yan'er, are you not used to life in Youzhou? Lin Feng stroked Zhao Ziyan's pretty face and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm just worried about the danger of the Prime Minister! Zhao Ziyan stared at Lin Feng with both eyes, and put his red hand on Lin Feng's cheek: "Xianggong, you are also thin, black, and bearded." ”
Lin Feng touched his cheeks, and there was really a lot of half-inch long stubble, and said with a smile: "I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar, and a long beard means that I'm mature." After that, he kissed Zhao Ziyan.
"Xianggong, Sister Ziyan, you!" Seeing Lin Feng and the two kissing in the courtyard, Chu Xiangyu came out and stomped his feet, reminding him resentfully, while Yang Zixi covered his mouth and chuckled.
Lin Feng let go of Zhao Ziyan, looked at Xiangyu and Zixi and said, "Yu'er, Zixi, do you miss me, do you want to kiss you too?" ”
Chu Xiangyu wore a light purple full-breasted skirt, her skin was as delicate as warm jade, her soft light was greasy, her cherry mouth was red without dotting, and her two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently brushed in the wind, adding a bit of seductive style.
Yang Zixi's eyes rotated flexibly, a little naughty, a little naughty, a black hair like a waterfall pouring down, charming and lovely, looking like she wanted to refuse and take a break, and the beauty was heartwarming.
"Why not?" Chu Xiangyu was shy and coquettish, but stepped forward to give Lin Feng a bear hug, just sticking it to his arms.
"Xianggong!" Yang Zixi stepped forward, lowered his head and called softly, not daring to look directly at Lin Feng.
The dragonfly kissed the two of them on the unadorned cherry mouth, Lin Feng stretched out his arms and hugged the three beauties, walked towards the room, smelled the fragrance emanating from the house, and asked, "What is delicious, is it very fragrant!" ”
