Chapter 621: Wintering Baggage
"Hahahaha."
Everyone in the big tent was amused by the conversation between Lin Feng and Yin Bo, but Yin Bo didn't believe that the matter was what Lin Feng said, so he was stunned and pointed the finger at Li Xiaofeng, and asked very persistently: "Then what?" What's going on? You say, I haven't seen it, can't you tell me about it? ”
"There's really no then!" Li Xiaofeng raised his hand to his forehead, and replied weakly in some distress: "General Yin! There really is no then, we were facing tens of thousands of rebels of pseudo-Qi at that time! In addition to retreating, will we have to step forward and die? ”
"Huh? Oh! Yin Bo finally figured it out, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again, but the next words made everyone cry and laugh, only to see Yin Bo, who understood it, glanced at everyone with a serious face, and finally looked at Lin Feng and sighed deeply: "Hey! It was a mistake for Hou Ye not to take me there in the first place! If I had been here last night, I would have been able to bring my brothers to fight back tens of thousands of rebels! ”
Hearing this, everyone almost all looked at each other helplessly, and then they all chose to ignore this braggadocio and began to pour wine into the wine bowl, even Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, but in order not to make Yin Bo feel ignored by everyone, he still sighed lightly and asked softly: "Brother?" Where's the brother? We were going to have a few thousand brothers at that time, so could it be that we had to withdraw? ”
"Yes, yes!" Yin Bo's face suddenly changed, and he held the wine bowl to Lin Feng with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "What Master Hou said is right! That's just right! This bowl of wine, I respect the marquis! ”
After saying that, Yin Bo didn't wait for Lin Feng to speak, hurriedly raised his head and drank it all, and then immediately shifted the topic elsewhere. As for why Yin Bo suddenly didn't continue to brag or raise the bar, everyone laughed and said nothing, because everyone saw Lin Feng's actions just now, if Yin Bo continued just now, tonight's banquet would probably become a special session for Lin Feng and Yin Bo to fight together.
"Master Hou, what is the next plan of our army?" After everyone saluted each other, Meng Hong put down the wine bowl and began to report on the work of the recent period: "During the time you left, Master Hou, General Yin Bo fought more than ten small battles, and collected nearly 2,000 rebellious soldiers who were wandering around!" Moreover, there are some strong men in the vicinity who came to defect, plus some other bandits and rebels who took the initiative to come to surrender, a total of more than 5,000 people! Now the reorganization work has ended, and these newcomers have been disrupted in batches and incorporated into our army! ”
"Well done! I'll hand over the army to you, and I'll really have a lot of peace of mind! Lin Feng nodded appreciatively, first praised it, then paused for a moment, calculated a little in his heart, and then asked again: "General Meng, the current strength of our army is almost thirty-five thousand, right?" ”
"Well, it's not much the same as Hou Ye! Just over 36,000 people in total! Of course, there are also the 10,000 Shunjie troops of General Shangrang in the east! Meng Hong smiled and nodded, admiring Lin Feng's memory very much, but then frowned slightly, and reminded worriedly: "Master Hou, although the strength of our army has almost recovered, and the soldiers are already actively preparing for war, but it is about late autumn, and it will soon be winter!" I'm afraid that the logistics of our army will be a little untenable! ”
"Well, I already thought about it on the way back!" Lin Feng nodded with a serious face, then looked at everyone, and understood that everyone had probably discussed this matter, so he immediately looked at Meng Hong again, groaned slightly, frowned and asked, "General Meng, what do you think of this?" There is not much military pay that our army carries, but at this time, it must not be collected from the nearby county seats! It seems that we can only think of a way to let those counties that have returned to Shun work together to solve it! There are several counties in Meixian County, Qishan County, Wugong County, and Zhouzhi County that are not small in scale, so it should not be difficult for them to make up some winter clothes for our army! What's more, it's still early, even if they rush now, they will be in time! ”
"This, Master Hou, in fact, I have already thought of this method!" Hearing this, Meng Hong glanced at Lin Feng with some embarrassment, glanced at Yin Bo inadvertently, and then explained in a deep voice: "And during the time that Master Hou was not here, I also sent a messenger to inquire, but, but... ”
"But? How? Are they still reluctant to make a small effort? Lin Feng just picked up the wine bowl, his brows furrowed fiercely when he heard this, and after putting the wine bowl down, his tone suddenly became cold: "They can't do this thing?" Why are they still kept? When I surrendered and surrendered, didn't I say it better than I sang it? I still remember that one by one, I couldn't wait to send my wife and concubine to the army to comfort and reward my brothers! It's good now, they want to regret it before we leave? ”
"It's not that I regret it!" Hearing this, Meng Hong's arm holding the wine bowl trembled slightly, as if he was afraid of falling, he hurriedly put the wine bowl back, looked at Lin Feng and explained in detail: "Master Hou, they didn't say that they regretted it, nor did they say that they didn't want to contribute, but the contribution was too small!" Except for Mei County and Wugong County, which are each responsible for the winter clothes of 3,000 people, the rest of the counties are all shirking that the treasury is empty, and at most 1,000 people can be gathered, and they also explain that most of them still need to be collected from the people, as for how many can be in the end, it is uncertain. ”
"Fart! Such a big county, just fucking can only make winter clothes for a thousand people? Is their treasury so poor? I'm afraid that just those bullshit officials can make up three or five thousand sets by smashing pots and selling iron! Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly became furious, slapped the slap on the handsome case, and didn't pay attention to the wine spilled in the bowl, took a deep breath, looked at Meng Hong with an embarrassed expression, and said seriously: "General Meng!" You're doing a good job of dealing with things, but I have to say that sometimes you're too shy about how things are handled! Do you still use it to discuss and talk to them? Don't forget, what is their status now? They are now officials of the Tang Dynasty! What are we? We are the Feng family army that exterminated the puppet Qi rebels! Moreover, I also have the identity of an observer envoy in Gyeonggi Province, if they push back and take them back to the barracks directly, they don't want to contribute, let's send people over to help them contribute, I really don't believe it, so a big county can't make up thousands of sets of winter clothes for our soldiers! ”
"Yes, yes! Hou Ye's words, the last general will keep it in mind! Meng Hong hurriedly bowed, nodded again and again, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Feng, and asked cautiously tentatively: "Master Hou, then, will you send a messenger to convey it tomorrow?" ”
"Hmm... Forget it, it's still not suitable for you to do this, you still have to deal with the affairs of the army! Lin Feng groaned slightly, then shook his head decisively, then turned his head to look at Yin Bo, stretched out his hand and grabbed a few arrows from the handsome case, but he didn't see how many there were, he threw them at Yin Bo in one go, and said in a deep voice: "Yin Bo, it depends on you whether the army's baggage can be gathered!" This is a military order, as for how to do it, you can do it yourself, what I want is that all the soldiers of the army can be dressed and fed during the winter! ”
"Okay! This matter is wrapped up in me! Yin Bo hurriedly got up to pick up the arrow on the ground, held it in his arms like a treasure, and after counting them one by one, he got up and saluted Lin Feng, and promised with a smile: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the Hou Ye!" Be sure to complete the mission! ”
