Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 686 Where Does Joy Come From

Lin Feng knew the urgency of the war, so on the one hand, he asked the engineering battalion to speed up the construction of warships.

On the other hand, a special transformation plan was also designed.

It is to use existing fishing boats or transport ships and transform them.

This can not only speed up construction, but also barely meet one's own short-term combat requirements.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

"Ha, this is the benefit of preparing for a rainy day."

At this time, Pei Qiyin brought in breakfast.

Following them were Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming, who entered the command center one after another.

Both of them were sleepy, looking like they had just woken up.

Since handing over their military power, these two guys have relaxed their minds and bodies, and feel very safe staying by Lin Feng's side.

Their job is to stay in Lin Feng's command center and act as staff officers.

If you have something to say, just say a few words for reference. If you don’t, just talk about other things.

So, life was stable and comfortable, and it was obvious that some fat had grown on the cheeks.

The three of them were eating breakfast and talking about Zhao Gui's failure this time.

Each of them analyzed the case from a different perspective.

Just as he was talking excitedly, a soldier came running in.

"Report, General, there are cavalry outside the city requesting entry. There are thirty-eight riders, and the leader is Zhao Gui."

Lin Feng stopped chewing and looked a little dazed.

Zhao Gui fled from Jingdong Prefecture City. If he wanted to run to Kancheng, he had to go around the entire Kyoto City.

He's crazy?

He was running for his life just to fall into the hands of someone like him, with whom he was not on good terms?

Lin Feng paused for a moment and nodded to the soldiers.

"Let them into the city."

A group of defeated generals are not dangerous at all.

The reason for letting them into the city was more out of curiosity about what Zhao Gui was thinking.

The city gate opened and Zhao Gui rode his horse into Kancheng.

He was covered in wounds and exhausted.

In order to get to Cannes as soon as possible, Zhao Gui was willing to risk his life.

On the way, they met more than 30 cavalrymen of the Royal Guards who had escaped from the city, and they ran here together.

Zhao Gui thought about it carefully and found this decision to be very difficult.

Because of his greed and recklessness, he brought 50,000 large imperial guards into the trap.

With this crime, even if the emperor likes me very much, it will be difficult for me to save my life.

I can’t go back to Kyoto, and I can’t go to Grand Tutor Wan’s place.

As the commander of the Imperial Guards, nearly half of their troops were lost at once, and Lao Wan was also largely responsible. He could hardly take care of himself, and if Zhao Gui surrendered, he would naturally be the first target.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng is the only one who has the best chance of saving his life.

He and Lin Feng are not harmonious, or even hostile to each other.

However, it was Zhao Gui who suffered a great loss before, and he suffered a great loss from Lin Feng.

If I don't care about it, why would Lin Feng care about it?

Zhao Gui's defeat had nothing to do with Lin Feng, and he surrendered sincerely, so Lin Feng would not be embarrassed to use force against him.

Anyway, Zhao Gui had made up his mind, which was to keep his posture as low as possible.

As the commander of his own personal guard and a general, he couldn't just bow down to Lin Feng.

He has fully experienced the fate of suffering a crushing defeat, being homeless, and being like a stray dog.

Zhao Gui was taken to the Kancheng Command Center.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Gui knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground.

"Deputy Commander, Zhao Gui comes to apologize."

Lin Feng didn't even raise his head: "Zhao Gui, you should go to the palace to die. It doesn't make sense to come here."

"Sir, Zhao Gui is wrong. He is arrogant and looks down on others. Please give him a chance to live."

Zhao Gui knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

"What a joke! I gave you a chance to live, but why didn't you give those 50,000 Royal Guards a chance to live?"

"grown ups..."

Zhao Gui choked up and said, "I, Zhao Gui, have been blinded by greed and only wanted to achieve fame and honor, but I never considered the cruelty of war. If you only give me a chance, Zhao Gui will serve you wholeheartedly."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "You don't need to act pitiful in front of me. It's not me, Lin Feng, who will hold you responsible."

After taking a sip of soup.

"Well, you will temporarily join Zhao Shuo's army as a soldier to experience the hardships of the soldiers. As for how to deal with you, we will wait for the emperor's order."

When Zhao Gui heard this, he was overjoyed and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, Deputy Commander. I will repay your kindness in due time."

Lin Feng raised his chin towards Wen Jian, signaling someone to take him to join the army.

"Tell Zhao Shuo to treat him like an ordinary soldier."

I really can't hold Zhao Gui responsible, so I'll leave this issue to the emperor to worry about.

He is his own nephew, so it is up to him whether to kill him or not.

I won't be the bad guy.

The more than 30 cavalrymen who entered the city also followed Zhao Gui and were incorporated into Zhao Shuo's team.

Just think about how excited Zhao Shuo must be, as he can finally ride on his cousin's head and act tyrannically.

Just as we finished dealing with Zhao Gui, a soldier came to report.

"General, the eunuch Zhu Qisheng and his 300-horse guards have arrived at the city."

Lin Feng turned to Ju Chaoyue and said, "General Ju, thank you for your hard work. Go and welcome him."

Ju Chaoyue stood up and bowed: "Yes, Deputy Commander, it's my duty. It's not hard at all."

Having said this, he hurried out.

Zhu Qisheng brought three hundred guards and came to the command center in Kancheng. A young eunuch helped him off his horse.

Then he strode through the door.

Lin Feng was already standing in front of the door waiting.

"Eunuch Zhu, I hope you are well and everything is going well."

"Oh, why bother to greet you, Commander-in-Chief? Everything is fine."

The two entered the house and sat down as host and guest. Zhu Qisheng couldn't wait to take out the scroll, unfold it and read.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that, since the Imperial Guard Commander Wan Quan is ill and unable to care for other matters, the Deputy Imperial Guard Commander Lin Feng is hereby appointed Commander of the Imperial Guard of the Grand Clan. This is my decree."

Because the two were very familiar with the procedure, one sat down to read the imperial edict, while the other sat down to listen to it, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.

After hearing the imperial edict, Lin Feng smiled.

"The emperor has thrown this mess to Lin."

Zhu Qisheng quickly put on a smile and said, "Oh, Commander, you are so young and promising, there is no one like you before or since."

"Father-in-law, please don't fool me. I don't know how many days I can hold out."

"With your leadership skills, I will surely defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and solidify my position as commander."

As he spoke, he rolled up the imperial edict and pushed it forward.

"Commander, please accept it."

Before Lin Feng could say anything, Wen Jian stretched out his hands and carefully took the imperial edict.

Zhu Qisheng smiled and said, "Look, the commander-in-chief is the popular choice."

"They are also looking forward to getting promoted and making money."

"Hahaha... Commander really knows how to joke..."

Lin Feng shook his head: "Life is short, like the passing of a single leaf. If one cannot achieve fame and honor, and bring glory to one's family, who would still strive forward, fearing life and death?"

Zhu Qisheng nodded and smiled: "Master Commander, you are right. We have to hurry back to the palace to announce the good news, so we won't stay any longer."

Lin Feng was surprised: "Where does the joy come from?"
