The king behind the empress

Chapter 447 Death Battle
After learning of the arrival of the county guard Wang Qianjun, Qi Feng, who was guarding Wangling Town, immediately brought people to greet him.

"Qi Feng has met your lord."

"Did you know something happened in Dingfeng City? How did you become a county lieutenant?"

Qi Feng had just saluted Wang Qianjun, and before he had time to speak, he was scolded by Wang Qianjun who was the first to beat others, "If Jiang Yi hadn't sent someone to send the news to me, I am afraid that even the entire Yanyang County was shot down. Don't you know?"

"Sir, calm down."

Qi Feng's personality is relatively straightforward, so after hearing Wang Qianjun's reprimand, he didn't care, but said calmly: "Dingfeng City is not under the jurisdiction of the official, so what happened there, I don't care about it." Not sure."

In fact, logically speaking, the entire army of Yanyang County should be under the management of Qi Feng, but Jiang Yi is a member of Wang Qianjun's faction, and he never stopped giving orders. After several conflicts, Qi Feng directly pointed it out to Wang Qianjun, Let Wang Qianjun manage Dingfeng City himself.

So at this moment, Qi Feng's words are undoubtedly making Wang Qianjun look bad.

"you……"

Sure enough, Wang Qianjun was furious when he heard this. He pointed to Qi Feng's nose and said angrily, "Are you trying to shirk responsibility from me? Don't forget, you are the county captain, the military commander of Yanyang County." It is under your control, not this official's control!"

Hearing Wang Qianjun's words, Qi Feng couldn't help frowning, he just refuted Wang Qianjun's accusation, but Wang Qianjun actually directly thought of shirking responsibility, which is really a standard bureaucratic style.

The lieutenant beside Qi Feng saw Qi Feng frowning, and probably guessed what Qi Feng was talking about, so he quickly stopped Qi Feng from talking, and said to Wang Qianjun before him: "My lord, don't get angry, General Qi didn't mean that." .”

"Now that there is a situation in Dingfeng City, if something serious happens, the two adults will not be able to escape responsibility, so let's think about how to deal with it now."

"It's still like a human saying."

Wang Qianjun glared at Qi Feng, and then said: "Jiang Yi sent someone to tell me that an army has crossed the Wanling Mountains and killed them. They are very powerful, and now Dingfeng City has probably fallen into their control. gone."

"Is there an army crossing from the Wanling Mountains?"

Hearing Wang Qianjun's words, Qi Feng's heart skipped a beat. After receiving the news that Dingfeng City was blocked these days, he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he sent people to Dingfeng City to investigate Investigate the news while preparing the army to deal with emergencies.

It's just that I didn't expect that things would actually develop in the worst direction. The previous emperor's predictions had come to fruition at this moment.

Qi Feng didn't care about the unhappiness with Wang Qianjun at this time, and asked directly: "Which country does that army belong to? How many people are there? Who is the commander?"

Seeing Qi Feng asking several questions one after another, Wang Qianjun rolled his eyes and said angrily, "How does this official know?"

"The person Jiang Yi sent here said that he was very powerful. He probably came over from the Wanling Mountains. He didn't know anything else."

"..."

Qi Feng was a little speechless when he heard the words, he didn't know anything, so the report was a fart, if any spies in his army dared to report the news like this, they would have been dealt with by the military law long ago.

But Qi Feng was relieved after thinking about it. After all, in the situation of Dingfeng City, if someone really wanted to make a surprise attack, Jiang Yi might be killed if he couldn't even organize the people.

So it is not easy for him to send someone to pass back the news. If he really sends back more detailed information, then he has to really think about whether Jiang Yi is a traitor to the enemy, and the false news sent back .

"Hu Yong, quickly send more scouts in the direction of Dingfeng City. You don't need to investigate the situation of Dingfeng City. Just stay outside Dingfeng City. If there is any sign of troops from Dingfeng City, report immediately."

Qi Feng first gave an order to the lieutenant general, then looked at Wang Qianjun, and said, "Lord Governor, I don't have enough troops in Yanyang County, so I have to ask the court for help."

Yanyang County said that there were [-] soldiers, but in fact they both knew very well that except for the [-] soldiers under Qi Feng, most of the other troops only existed on the list for empty pay, and the rest were not paid. It's all just pretending, and there is no fighting power at all.

Therefore, Qi Feng felt that after he said this, Wang Qianjun would immediately agree to the matter. Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a moment, Wang Qianjun shook his head, and then said: "The situation is unknown at this time, don't rush to ask for help. Court report."

"After all, if Jiang Yi made a mistake, or if there are not many troops coming, it would be bad if something happens."

"Ok?"

Qi Feng was startled when he heard Wang Qianjun's words, and then quickly realized that Wang Qianjun was cherishing his own future. After all, if this matter is reported, not to mention whether his subordinates will be investigated if they don't pay their wages. If he came out, he would not be able to get away with just throwing away the matter of Dingfeng City, a charge of incompetence.

"Lord Sheriff, when is this? Are you still thinking about your black hat?"

Qi Feng glared at Wang Qianjun, and said mercilessly, "Now the entire Yanyang County only has [-] troops in my hands, which is not enough to do anything. If there is any accident at that time, you will not only lose the black hat , I'm afraid I can't even keep your head!"

"What do you call that? The officer just said that the situation is unclear and the report is postponed, but he didn't say no to report."

Wang Qianjun was reprimanded as if he couldn't hold back his face. He straightened his face and said: "Otherwise, when I report to the court, the court will send someone to ask. I don't know what to ask. How will I explain to the court?"

"What's more, the imperial court is now at war with those aristocratic families in the south, and its own troops are not enough. Where can I deploy troops to support my Yanyang County? Even if I report it to the official, what use will it be?"

Hearing Wang Qianjun's last words, Qi Feng, who was originally furious, suddenly seemed like a deflated balloon. What Wang Qianjun said was not wrong. Now that the court itself is full of internal turmoil, how can there be any troops to manage their border county.

Qi Feng was silent for a moment, and then asked weakly: "Then... what is the plan of the governor?"

"Call the generals in the city first."

Wang Qianjun shook his head, and said, "This battle may have to be fought by myself in Yanyang County, so it is necessary to let them know about it."

"Gather them together and discuss any problems that need to be faced. Although I don't know how to fight, the logistics aspect is left to me. As long as everyone puts forward their opinions, I will try my best to satisfy them."

Hearing Wang Qianjun's words, Qi Feng's heart moved slightly, because he has always prohibited the corruption of his generals, so his army is still relatively poor, although it is not bad, but that's all, other benefits Basically none, even Wang Qianjun secretly deducted a lot.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be a good choice if he could seek some benefits for his soldiers.

In this way, after the morale of the soldiers is mobilized, they will be able to display stronger fighting power against the enemy troops in Dingfeng City, right?

Thinking of this, Qi Feng nodded slightly, and then said: "Since the governor of the county has a heart, then the officer will go and hurry the general over here."

After finishing speaking, Qi Feng asked Wang Qianjun to take his entourage to settle in the yard first, and then he sent people to gather the generals in the army, but he couldn't help being slightly surprised when he saw that Wang Qianjun had brought so many entourages.

But he didn't think too much about it, after all, Wang Qianjun had already received the news of the accident in Dingfeng City, so it's normal to be careful, after all, Wang Qianjun is the head of a county, and it's normal to be afraid of death, it's just that these followers seem to be strong, It feels stronger than his own soldiers.

This made Qi Feng feel a little bit emotional. People from these aristocratic families have strong family backgrounds. Whenever they encounter trouble, they can immediately provide such a strong follower. No wonder His Majesty wants to deal with these aristocratic families now. It seems that it is indeed necessary to deal with them. .

I just don't know if the imperial court can win this time against the aristocratic family in the south.

Qi Feng, who was thinking about these things in his heart, didn't stay any longer, and went directly to summon his generals in person.

After he left, Xiao Yanbing, who pretended to be Wang Qianjun's personal guard, said with some admiration: "Master Wang really has rules in his work, no wonder he can be the county guard."

Because Wang Qianjun knew Qi Feng very well, everything after entering the city was decided by Wang Qianjun himself, from taking the initiative to tell Qi Feng the news of Dingfeng City to win Qi Feng's trust, to acting with Qi Feng later, implying that Qi Feng only wanted to keep himself Wang Qianjun's official position, all these things, what Wang Qianjun did was impeccable.

If Xiao Yanbing hadn't been an insider, even Wang Qianjun would have been hard-pressed to notice anything strange with Wang Qianjun's acting skills.

"General Xiao is absurd."

Wang Qianjun was in a complicated mood. Although he was ready to betray the country and surrender to the enemy, after all, he had been an official in Dazhou for so many years, and now he sent all the elves of Qi Feng and Wangling City to a dead end with his own hands. He still felt a little guilty in his heart. .

"Lord Wang, don't worry, as long as General Qi Feng is willing to surrender, we won't do anything to him."

Xiao Yanbing is better at perceiving people's hearts. After he saw Wang Qianjun's hesitation, he spoke to comfort him: "Maybe, after the old man wins the Great Zhou, you two still have a chance to be ministers together."

"Qi Feng..."

Hearing what Xiao Yanbing said, Wang Qianjun shook his head subconsciously. Based on his understanding of Qi Feng, this person would never surrender, but he still had a little luck in his heart, so he didn't say much. If Qi Feng, who would never surrender, surrendered, then the guilt in his heart would be relieved a lot.

……

Qi Feng's main generals are only about a dozen people, counting their personal guards, there are only forty or fifty people in total.

Because they are all colleagues, there is no need to introduce each other, so Qi Feng directly took them to sit down in front of the seats that Wang Qianjun had prepared long ago.

But after they were all done, Qi Feng suddenly noticed something was wrong, because Wang Qianjun, who was supposed to be sitting on the main seat, was standing aside at this time, and the person on the seat was the one who followed Wang Qianjun before. That personal entourage.

"Master Sheriff, what's the matter?"

Qi Feng had some bad premonition in his heart, he subconsciously put his hand on his sword, and then asked, "Who is this?"

"Master Qi should have heard the old man's name."

Xiao Yanbing, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Qi Feng and said calmly, "Old man Xiao Yanbing."

"Xiao Yanbing?"

Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly remembered who Xiao Yanbing was, the famous Zheng Guo Shuangbi, the Xiao Yanbing who blocked Mo Congyi in the Eastern Realm for more than ten years.

Thinking of the drastic change in Qi Feng's face here, he has already guessed that this is the one who led the army over the Wanling Mountains. As for why he appeared here, Qi Feng turned his attention to Wang Qianjun. It seems that the county guard, Now it's a traitor to the enemy.

Qi Feng gritted his teeth, and didn't bother with Wang Qianjun, he directly pulled out the sword in his waist, and shouted: "Follow me to kill!!!"

Xiao Yanbing, as one of David's double walls, has a great reputation, so even if there were only a few guards around him, Qi Feng didn't choose to attack him. Instead, he grabbed his chair and threw it at Xiao Yanbing, and then led him directly to the door kill.

Although he knew that the ambush must have been repaired in the yard now, this is Wangling City, and it is his territory. As long as they can kill one person, they will soon be able to bring countless reinforcements, and when the time comes, they will be killed. Hundreds of people surrounded and died here, it was a breeze.

"Bang~"

Qi Feng didn't have time to open the door, he directly kicked the wooden door and smashed it out.

Sure enough, the empty courtyard was already full of soldiers holding sharp knives, but because they entered the city as Wang Qianjun's personal companion, they were not very good at carrying bows and crossbows, so these people only had two swords in their hands. Ten crossbow arrows, otherwise Qi Feng and the others would face a greater threat.

"General Qi, you can't rush out."

Just when Qi Feng and others saw those soldiers, Xiao Yanbing's sincere voice came from behind him, "The defeat in this battle is not your fault. I hope the general can put down his sword. How about we talk about it?"

"You and I have nothing to talk about."

Qi Feng tore off a strip of cloth from the skirt, and then used it to tightly wrap his hand with the hilt of the sword. In this way, even if his palm lost strength, the sword would not come out. This move directly showed his determination to fight to the death.

"Shuai Qi..."

Most of the generals behind Qi Feng imitated Qi Feng's movements and tied their weapons to their hands. Only a few generals who walked closer to Wang Qianjun on weekdays looked at the dark soldiers in the courtyard and said hesitantly: " There are too many people, we can’t kill them, or should we surrender?”

"We have been honored by the emperor, and we are open and upright. How can we do such a thing against the Lord and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?"

Qi Feng angrily reprimanded the general who spoke up, and then said to the other generals around him in a deep voice: "At this moment, there is only a fight to the death, can An Neng surrender?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Feng didn't care what they thought, and directly killed all the soldiers in the courtyard alone.
