Chapter 660: Four Cities Along the River
As soon as Lin Feng returned to Kuncheng Command Center, he saw Cheng Liang had already returned.
When he saw Lin Feng, he hurried forward to report.
"Sir, the plan didn't work out. Jiao Sanqiang brought his guards and entered the city from the south gate of Kyoto. He wanted to chase them into the city, but the city defense troops stopped him and prevented our Zhenxi Army from entering the city."
Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can figure it out yourself later. I won't give you a time limit. Just capture the person."
Cheng Liang bowed: "Yes, sir."
Cheng Liang stepped out and Chu Jiao walked into the house.
"General, my heavy armored battalion has arrived with a thousand cavalrymen. I heard they will be coming to the capital in due course."
"Yes, the Royal Guards are not very obedient. I want to transfer the Heavy Armored Battalion here."
Chu Jiao smiled and said, "That's great. With the five thousand cavalry here, we can make it a whole number."
"How are these soldiers?"
"I've disciplined him enough to make him obey my orders. Anyone who dares to disobey will be taught a profound lesson by me."
Lin Feng clapped his hands.
"Okay, go back and tell them, don't be soft on these second-generation officials. In troubled times, we need to punish them harshly. That's what we want. All actions must be carried out under command."
"Don't worry, Boss. Our Zhenxi Army has fought all over the country and has never been afraid of anyone."
These words made Lin Feng's blood boil.
That's right, the court is about to be taken over by the rebels, and I'm here to help you, but you all act like cocky people.
Maybe I was too polite to them.
Such a corrupt old system must either be overthrown or broken.
Keeping them will do no good to the people or the country.
Just as I was thinking about it, Ju Chaoyue came back.
He explained to Lin Feng as soon as he entered the door.
"Sir, King Rui was very angry when he learned that you could not bring your guards into the city. He has summoned Zhao Gui to see him. I expect news will be forthcoming soon."
Lin Feng asked calmly, "What kind of news do you think General Ju will get?"
"According to the original rules, with your rank, you can bring 300 guards into the city."
Lin Feng reached out to take the teacup that Pei Qiyin handed to him, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"What do you think will happen if I insist on bringing 500 guards into the city?"
"Well... sir, Kyoto is no different from other places. Under the Emperor's rule, the management is indeed stricter. Please be more understanding."
Lin Feng smiled: "I do sympathize with them, but why doesn't anyone sympathize with me?"
Ju Chaoyue quickly smiled and said, "Sir, His Majesty is here to reward you."
Lin Feng shook his head: "I led the Zhenxi Army to the capital to quell the rebellion. From Zhenxi to the Central Plains, tens of thousands of soldiers experienced life and death to save the capital from danger. I don't ask for high positions or generous salaries, but I ask for courtesy, hehe..."
Lin Feng sneered, "Look at the faces of these officials. They are so afraid of losing the power they hold that they don't even care about the rebels, the formidable enemy right before their eyes. The emperor, the imperial court, the country, in their eyes, are nothing but... shit."
"Oh, my lord, those words are a bit... harsh."
Lin Feng smiled at the frightened Ju Chaoyue.
"General Ju is a wise man. He knows that without the imperial court, everything will be lost. He can give up his power to help Lin suppress the rebellion. You still have a future."
"Thank you for your selfless help, Your Majesty will give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Has Zhao Shuo been found?"
Lin Feng didn't want to say more and changed the subject.
Wen Jian replied, "General, there is no news yet."
"Zhao Shuo deserves the most credit for defeating the Black Turban Army this time. Send more people and find him as soon as possible."
"Yes, General."
Lin Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Also, tell Hu Jincai to dispatch 10,000 light cavalry in addition to the 5,000 heavy armored battalion and march to the capital by land."
He felt that using the Zhenxi to transport troops was too slow and could not carry many people each time.
The process of mobilizing troops must be accelerated. If we want to control the Kyoto Imperial Guards, it will be difficult to achieve our goal if we use soft means.
Twenty thousand Zhenxi troops must be used to reorganize the Imperial Guards, the backbone of the Zhenxi Army must be used to drive the entire Imperial Guards, and the spirit of the Zhenxi Army must be integrated into the hearts of every Imperial Guards soldier.
In order to achieve the goal of completely controlling the Imperial Guards in a short period of time.
Just when he was lost in thought, a soldier came to report.
"Report, General, the training instructors sent by the Zhenxi Army to the 3rd, 5th, and 7th Battalions of the Imperial Guard have all been sent back."
Lin Feng was stunned, and everyone in the room was also stunned.
After just a moment, Lin Feng sneered.
"Fuck, are you going to break up with us?"
Chu Jiao hadn't left yet, and when she heard the news, she became furious.
"They feel that the rebels have been driven out of Kyoto, and they want to kill the dog after the rabbit has died."
Lin Feng also found it a little strange. Even if the Black Scarf Army was defeated, King Fu still had more than 100,000 troops under his command and could still fight.
Why can't the court help but take back power?
After thinking for a moment, Ju Chaoyue immediately said.
"Sir, this is a foolish act committed by an individual and has nothing to do with the court."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Haha, just don't treat me as a rebel. If you want to hold on to power, you must have the ability to suppress rebellion. Some people are just impatient and can't wait until the rebels are completely defeated before fighting for power."
Chu Jiao took a step forward: "Boss, what should we do?"
Lin Feng raised his hand: "Pass the order down, all units must firmly guard the four cities of Kun, Gen, Kan, and Xun. No one is allowed to move without my order."
Ju Chaoyue was puzzled and asked quickly.
"Sir, you are going to..."
Lin Feng waved at him and turned to continue giving orders.
"Order Xie Zhong to take my badge and lead 5,000 men from Gencheng into Jingxi Prefecture City. Explain the situation to the prefect Wu Ruolin and have him reorganize his 6,000 prefectural troops to take over the city defense."
Others were still confused, but Lin Feng knew it very well.
The situation is complicated, so we need to plan ahead.
He must defend the four citadels west of Kyoto, and then take control of all the prefectural cities along the Jinjiang River.
Jinjiang is the lifeline of the Zhenxi Army, running from the Kyoto Acropolis to the north along the river bank.
It passes through Jingxi Prefecture City, Sanjiang Prefecture City, Shanglin Prefecture City and Tongsheng Prefecture City.
As long as the four prefecture cities are connected in a line, he will be invincible.
No matter whether you are the imperial guards or the rebels of King Fu, anyone who dares to invade will be destroyed.
If I don't show my power, people will think I'm a sick cat.
Wei Ming, the former General of the Cavalry of the Imperial Guard, handed over the military power to Lin Feng, and then entered the capital city to take up a post under King Rui.
He was much less broad-minded than Ju Chaoyue, and did not want to see the team he had led for many years being controlled by others.
Lin Feng did not try to persuade him much, and just completely reorganized the Ninth Battalion under his command.
Most of the imperial guards in the camp resigned and returned to Kyoto.
There were also many soldiers who could not stand the harsh training of the Zhenxi Army instructors and asked to retire.
At present, there are less than 30,000 soldiers left out of the total 40,000 Imperial Guards, plus the Zhenxi Army, a total of 30,000.
Take control of the four Acropolis west of Kyoto.
At this time, Zhao Wenqi and Jiao Sanqiang had already entered Kyoto City and were sitting in the guest hall of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Grand Tutor Wan sat in the first seat, looking at his two loyal subordinates with a smile on his face.
