Chapter Seventy-Seven: It's a pity for this great place
Lin Feng walked and chatted with the young man named Zhang Longxing.
Soon, Lin Feng learned that Zhang Longxing's father, Zhang Shaodi, was the commander of the capital of Chu, because he initially strongly supported Ma Xicao in the battle for the king of Chu, he was naturally jealous of Ma Xiguang, who successfully ascended to the throne, and directly demoted him from a second-rank to a sixth-rank idle position, which was basically equivalent to being idle at home. Just now, when the tribal soldiers entered the mansion, Zhang Shaodi, who was not convinced of the old man, stepped forward to stop him, but was cut to the ground by the tribal soldiers with a burst of knives.
Lin Feng secretly kept the young man's name in his heart, his mind suddenly changed, and he asked, "What do you think of Ma Xixu's entry into Tanzhou?" ”
Looking at the houses around him that were all taken captive, Zhang Longxing's grief and indignation at this time had weakened a lot, and he sighed and said: "In the past, my father was given a cold reception because of his support for Ma Xixu, and Zhang naively thought that his father was supporting his brother and brother and this succession agreement, and he was insisting on morality. However, now watching Na Ma Xicao give Tanzhou City to the tribal soldiers to burn and loot at will, Zhang also has deep doubts about this. ”
"In this world, whether it is a country or an individual, it is bustling and all for the sake of interests! The soldiers of the tribes come for profit, and they take captive for profit; What about Ma Xicao, do you think he raised troops twice for the people of Chu? Lin Feng immediately followed Zhang Longxing's words and made a "resentful" look.
At this time, a group of people rushed to the front of another mansion, Ge Chang led a large army to rush in, and Lin Feng stopped and stayed outside the door.
Zhang Longxing also stopped, looked at Lin Feng with a suspicious face, was silent for a while, turned his head to the south side of Anle Avenue, and muttered: "The former Chu King Ma Xifan was extremely poor and luxurious, and liked grand buildings, so he built this Tiance Mansion and Huichun Garden. In the three years since Ma Xiguang became the owner, the tax in Tanzhou has been heavier than before; Ma Xicao was famous for his extravagance and glitz when he was in Langzhou, but he was afraid that it was not much better. My Zhang Mansion is already almost unable to hold on, and my father is leaving, I am afraid that this ancestral house of the Zhang family will be sold in my hands! ”
Maybe it's because he witnessed his father being killed in front of him, Zhang Longxing kept talking, as if he wanted to pour out all the grief and anger in his heart.
"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the flowers are different at all times!" Lin Feng sighed, casually chanted two lines of poetry, sighed at Zhang Longxing's family experience, then shook his head, and continued, "Chu Di is a good person, it can be described as an outstanding person, but it's a pity that I didn't meet a good master!" Before Lin went west, my Tang Shengshang had privately sighed with Lin Feng: Chu is rich and has a superior location, if you are fortunate enough to implement the strategy of recuperation, it is not the land of Zhongxing Hidden Dragon! ”
Zhang Longxing looked at Lin Feng in some surprise and did not answer.
Lin Feng pretended to be unintentional and continued to chat: "Lin Mou was in a state of agitation at that time, and he dared to ask the Holy Lord for instructions: If the people of Chu Land are willing to return to my land, please ask the Holy Lord to exempt Chu Land from rent for three years!" However, the saint said that the three-year rent was a trivial matter, but the state of Chu now wants to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, and the best should not be talked about. ”
Zhang Longxing's shocked expression became even more obvious, and he suddenly asked, "How long can Lord Lin stay in my Chu Kingdom?" ”
Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "You and I both know that the length of time Lin has been in Chu will not be decided by Lin himself. However, the elite soldiers of our Datang Brigade are about to enter the country, and they will definitely be stationed in Tanzhou at that time! ”
Zhang Longxing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered.
At this time, Ge Chang had successfully led the troops out, followed by three young men with knives, and there were still palm prints on the face of the one in front of his head that had not been completely erased. Lin Feng almost laughed out loud, it seemed that Ge Chang had now sold his slap trick.
In this way, Lin Feng's team went all the way to the west to kill. Later, not only did the team not lose any numbers, but the number of people became more and more.
An hour had passed, and it was already dawning. Lin Feng and the others finally cleared out the scattered enemies along the way, and rushed to the site of the fierce battle between Zhang Bin and Panlong's department, which was only one mile away from the western city wall of Tanzhou.
When they were still not close to the battlefield, Qin Hansheng and a special soldier suddenly flashed out and shouted, "Stop coming"! Lin Feng and Ge Chang hurriedly walked out of the ranks, Qin Hansheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried over to report briefly:
It turned out that after Zhang Bin, Cheng Yuehai and Yang Di led the team, they followed the torch group in front of them and chased them all the way to the west. At Zhang Bin's insistence, the team ignored the scattered enemies and captives, and directly rushed past. Only when there is a place where Tanzhou soldiers resist bravely, will they stop and shoot, and then Yang Di will come forward to surrender the Tanzhou soldiers on the spot.
Seeing that the pursuers behind him were in hot pursuit, Pan Long also kept sending a team of 100 people to snipe layer by layer, and the front was divided into men to seize the time to sweep and plunder. So they didn't flee quickly, especially since the two sides had been fighting here for nearly an hour.
Lin Feng hurried to the rear of the opposite position not far away, carefully observing the battle situation. After only a few glances, Lin Feng frowned, and immediately sent someone to call down Zhang Bin, who was fighting in front.
"Zhang Bin, did you kill the red eye and forget that you are a special soldier?" Lin Feng pointed at Zhang Bin, who was covered in blood and had been slashed shallowly in the chest, and said with a slash, "Have you sent someone to raid from the flank?" Has anyone sent people out of the city to attack enemy ships? Has anyone sent someone across the river to raid the tents of the clan army? ”
A series of questions made Zhang Bin's angry face suddenly wooden, but Qin Hansheng, who had been on guard duty in the rear just now, came over and said softly: "Lord Lin, you dissipate your anger." Zhang Fei, who was seriously injured in Huangfu, is Zhang Bin's iron brother, Zhang Bin wants to avenge Zhang Fei, and he is in a hurry to act! ”
Qin Hansheng didn't explain, but when he heard the explanation, Lin Feng became even more angry, pointing at Zhang Bin and scolding: "Losing your mind because of personal feelings is the most important problem for special soldiers!" I've explained to you, the pursuit must not be in a hurry, just maintain a certain amount of pressure, and if necessary, you can even retreat appropriately and let them go, you forgot about it! ”
Zhang Bin's old face was red with shame, and he didn't speak with a wooden face.
Lin Feng took a long breath, stepped forward and patted Zhang Bin's shoulder, looked at his wounds, softened his tone, and said softly: "Okay, Zhang Bin, don't be angry anymore!" You immediately take Huang Hansheng and the two of them, and then bring ten of Yang Di's brothers, go around from the flanks, and find a way to sneak outside the city to attack their ships and camps, and slow down their retreat, this is for me!" ”
Zhang Bin didn't speak, just nodded, and immediately walked away with Qin Hansheng.
As soon as Lin Feng took over, he immediately ordered the gong to withdraw the troops, and let the people who were fighting in front retreat.
At this time, there were less than a thousand people left in the Panlong Division, and they had to guard the city gate and take property, and the hundreds of people who stayed behind to block in turn were too tired to move, and when they saw the pursuers retreating, they naturally quickly withdrew their own people, and retreated the defense line back for 200 meters, and began to arrange the defense line around the city gate.
Lin Feng's next arrangement was even more incomprehensible.
In addition to leaving a few brothers to guard in front, Lin Feng instructed the brothers to go to the surrounding no-man's mansion to find food, set up the stove, and make breakfast with great fanfare!
In the process of Lin Feng organizing the fire to cook, Ma Jiwei, the deputy general of the Wuchang Army, led his troops over, and the three people he brought made Lin Feng overjoyed.
