Chapter 133: The Emperor's Moves
"Don't worry, general, this kid has been caught by me." As he spoke, he threw the tied Huang Daoyi to the ground.
Ling Feng dismounted, came to Huang Daoyi and looked at him, he didn't speak, and Huang Daoyi didn't speak, lowering his head as if he was ashamed to see someone.
After a few breaths, Ling Feng withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "How many soldiers are there?" ”
Speaking of this question, Jiang Lin's face was ugly, and he said a little: "General, there are still eighty or ninety thousand left." ”
"That means there's 80,000 left." Ling Feng said: "Summarize all the soldiers, don't have any accidents, first stabilize the morale of the army, take out all the wine and meat, let the soldiers have a big meal, and then stand by in the camp." ”
Jiang Lin said: "No." However, he looked at Huang Daoyi and asked, "What about him?" ”
Ling Feng turned over and said coldly, "Chop!" ”
He walked away
Hearing this word, the two of them were not surprised, and Huang Weiyi did not feel that he was wronged, just because of his impulsiveness, he killed more than 100,000 soldiers, not to mention beheading, even if he suffered more torture, he should be.
However, looking at Jiang Lin on the side, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes, if it weren't for this person, how could he make such a mistake.
"Jiang Lin, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost."
Jiang Lin sneered: "It's all dying, you are still stubborn, let's go, for the sake of our intersection, I will personally send you to the guillotine." ”
"Let's go."
Palace.
The emperor sat in the pavilion for the night, but with singers dancing and books to read, he did not feel lonely, but only a little tired.
Ling Feng received the letter from the little father-in-law, so he hurriedly entered the palace, this time the speed was very fast, and he came to the imperial garden after a while.
It was early in the morning.
"Little father-in-law, is Your Majesty in a hurry? It's going to be early, so why don't you say it up? ”
"General, my family doesn't know, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the pavilion all night."
Ling Feng's expression was slightly startled.
"Let's get out of here, then." Ling Feng said.
The speed of the two was very fast, and after a while, they came to the outside of the small pavilion.
Ling Feng stepped forward and saluted: "The last general, Ling Feng, pay homage to Your Majesty." ”
"Rise up, how's the war going?"
Ling Feng walked into the small pavilion and arched his hand: "Your Majesty Lao cares, the war has subsided, the people who instigated the war have been corrected, and the camp outside the city has returned to calm. ”
"Well, that's what I expected, so let's do it." The Emperor waved his hand casually.
After Ling Feng sat down, the emperor asked, "What about your plan, I have been waiting for you all night." ”
Ling Feng was speechless.
A little, Ling Feng said: "Your Majesty, the biggest difference between the anti-thieves and the officers and soldiers is that they can expand the source of troops anytime and anywhere, while our county soldiers are one less to die, and if this continues, there will be a day when the battle will be lost, so." ”
"The last general suggested that the whole country be notified and let the counties and counties recruit troops and store grain on their own to guard the city, and in addition, send a few generals to divide the troops into multiple ways to exterminate the rebels."
Speaking of this, Ling Feng looked at the emperor.
The Emperor listened with relish, in fact, he had this idea in his heart now, but he was also a little worried.
The emperor smiled and said, "General Ling is indeed extraordinary, but once this decree is promulgated, the soldiers and horses of the counties and counties will be strong in the future, how can I restrain them?" ”
"What I'm worried about is that the rebels may be able to exterminate them, but I'm afraid that the rebellion of the princes will come in the future. And even more so than the former! ”
Ling Feng secretly said that the emperor was not simple, he could actually see this, if it was an ordinary person, when he heard such a plan, he was afraid that he would immediately agree and implement it, but he didn't.
"Okay, you go on."
The Emperor said.
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is finished." ”
"With the current strength of the empire, there is no other choice but to completely eradicate the rebels."
The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, in that case, let's go to the court together." ”
"Your Majesty, the last general has one more thing to say."
"What?"
Ling Feng said: "The person who rebelled last night was Huang Daoyi, the former garrison general of Kaiyuan, who had already been beheaded by the last general. ”
Huang Jiyi?
The emperor was shocked: "It turned out to be him." ”
But after only a few breaths, he returned to normal, and said, "Cut it, cut it." ”
The emperor departed.
Ling Feng also followed him to the Shang Dynasty.
On this morning, the emperor officially named Ling Feng as a general, commanding more than 80,000 people under the original Qin Huai outside the city.
It is necessary to mention here that although after returning from Surabaya Pass, everyone called Ling Feng a general, but the emperor has not officially rewarded him, and today he can only be regarded as implementing this matter.
Getting this news, Ling Feng was also often relieved, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
However, there was one thing that made Ling Feng a little annoyed, the emperor suddenly issued an order to transfer Jiang Lin away, saying that there was a lack of generals in the court, and Jiang Lin was asked to train recruits in preparation for the conquest of the thieves.
Who doesn't know, Jiang Lin is loyal to Qin Huai, and the same is true for the current Ling Feng, and he is also the general with the highest prestige and the best martial arts in the 80,000 army, and the emperor transferred him away, obviously cutting off Ling Feng's wings.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Ling Feng suddenly relieved, isn't this the emperor's method, he has always done this.
Besides, it's nothing to transfer Jiang Lin away, anyway, he is brave and strategic, and he is not too brave, but his reputation is very high, and it is a trouble to stay in the army and lead too many soldiers.
He figured it out, so let's transfer it
Three days later, the emperor finally issued a decree, which was according to what Ling Feng said in the small pavilion that day; All counties can recruit troops to garrison on their own, and the children of the family can also form their own rebel army, go to the local government to report, and after the anti-thieves are suppressed, they will have their own rewards.
At the same time, the emperor finally agreed to Du Yuan's request, let him lead the army to the expedition, gather his 400,000 troops to the north again, and go towards Surabaya Pass.
Du Yuan was ecstatic, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, from the year before last to last year, and then from last year to this year.
This was only the emperor's first move to eliminate the rebels, and next, he ordered that Yang Xiong's western border army should eliminate the rebels in the western frontier on the spot, as long as it was an organization with more than 500 people, they would be killed!
Whether it's a bandit or a thief, kill them all!
As for Kaiyuan County and the south and east of Xinjiang, the emperor did not take any action, Kaiyuan County he had already instructed Du Yuan to exterminate the anti-thieves there, as for the southeast and southeast Xinjiang, there were not many anti-thieves, so he ordered the local government to eliminate them.
This news came to Ling Feng in a steady stream, and he stayed in the camp all these days, reorganizing the more than 83,000 troops.
All the previous formations were all disrupted, and then they began to reorganize, and the generals with the troops were also selected, and more than a dozen lieutenants were selected, each with 5,000 soldiers in their hands, and each of them began training in the battalion with soldiers.
As for Lu Wen and Lu Chang, Ling Feng made an exception to promote the two of them to generals, and did not give them to the soldiers for the time being, but only urged the captains to train strictly.
Since then, Ling Feng's army has also been on the right track, more than 80,000 soldiers seem to be a bit small, but they are more elite than before! (To be continued.) )
