Seeing that Li Zhang finally understood, Qin Feng was also quite relieved. After all, Qin Feng could not stay in Beixi County all the time. The overall situation of Beixi County was naturally controlled by Li Zhang.
Therefore, Li Zhang's growth and promotion is a real blessing to Qin Feng and even the people of Beixi County as a whole.
Qin Feng deliberately slowed down his horse and reached out to pat Li Zhang on the shoulder.
"Your Majesty, if you want to create a peaceful and prosperous world, someone must become a beast."
"We are on the battlefield not to reason with the enemy or talk about benevolence and righteousness. We are here to... kill them!"
Li Zhang nodded heavily: "I understand, Brother Qin, thank you very much!"
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart. With Li Zhang's intelligence, it was actually not difficult to capture Xiongying Ridge.
only……
He was born into a royal family, received the most orthodox training since childhood, and was filled with etiquette, benevolence and righteousness. It is good to treat one's own people in this way, but when it comes to treating enemies, these red tapes are stymied.
When Qin Feng passed by Beixi County, he did not go into the city to visit his mother and sister. He just took a look from a distance and then followed the large troops to the front line of Eagle Ridge.
At the same time, the city walls were already filled with people, all of them relatives waiting to greet Qin Feng.
Lin Quqi looked at the retreating army, and the anticipation in his eyes was gradually replaced by doubt.
"Brother Qin, why didn't you stop?"
"We've already arrived at the county seat. No matter how urgent the military situation is, we still have this little time, right?"
Of course, Lin Quqi understood Qin Feng's character, and he only deliberately sighed like this because he was guarding Qin Cheng next to him.
Although Qin Cheng's eyes were a little disappointed, she soon calmed down and smiled slightly: "This is Feng'er!"
"Go ahead, don't miss the plan because of so-called trivial matters of family ties."
Jing Qianying, who was standing next to her, bit her thin lips lightly. After much hesitation, she turned around and rushed forward.
Because he was far away, Qin Feng naturally couldn't see the crowds of people on the city wall, but he seemed to feel the sight of his relatives, which made him feel a little heavy.
"Your Majesty, tell me...which one is more important, loyalty or filial piety?"
Li Zhang knew Qin Feng's difficulties and blurted out without thinking: "They are all important, but... without everyone, how can we talk about a small family?"
Qin Feng's melancholy eyes suddenly became firm: "That's right!"
"Send the order, march quickly, target Eagle Ridge!"
…
The night is coming to an end and dawn has arrived, but the sky is still dark.
Xiongying Ridge Commandery Mansion, the general garrison of Xiongying Ridge, Ma Tingyun's eyes became deeper and deeper as he listened to the reports from his subordinates.
"Qin Feng has arrived in the north?"
The messenger who knelt down on one knee responded quickly: "The news personally sent by Night Owl lurking in the Liang Kingdom is absolutely true."
"Moreover...Qin Feng passed through Beixi County, but did not stop. He directly led his troops and rushed towards our Xiongying Ridge."
"We have already set up camp at the foot of the mountain."
Hearing this, Ma Tingyun's right eyelid jumped.
Ma Tingyun was not afraid of anyone in this entire Daliang, not even Li Zhang from Beixi County.
But when I heard that Qin Feng was coming, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Go straight to our Eagle Ridge... It seems that this Qin Feng is planning to attack my fortress."
As soon as these words came out, the generals present could not help but sneer.
Lieutenant General Lu Ci immediately sneered: "Attack Xiongying Ridge? Unless Qin Feng has lost his head!"
"General, in my opinion, there is no need to take Qin Feng too seriously."
"Since Dadi and Liang Guo fought, we have always been the main attacker, while Liang Guo defended."
"Then Qin Feng, no matter how much experience he has in attacking tough battles, is still on the defensive side."
"Besides, our Xiongying Ridge is impregnable. The food we have hoarded is enough for our brothers to eat for two years. Although the water source is a problem, we can only last three months, but these three months are enough for reinforcements to arrive."
"If I were the commander-in-chief of Beixi, the most correct decision at this time would be to retreat immediately to preserve our strength and reduce casualties."
"Otherwise, attacking the city is death, leaving the city trapped is still death!"
Ma Tingyun knew very well that Lu Ci's opinion was quite reasonable.
With the strength of Eagle Ridge, any general who attacks with force will be dead end.
And according to the news reported by the messenger, looking at this posture, Qin Feng plans to launch an attack in the near future. This is actually the stupidest decision.
But……
Ma Tingyun really didn't dare to underestimate Qin Feng.
After all... Even Chen Si was defeated when facing Qin Feng. How could such a legendary general be confused?
After thinking about it, Ma Tingyun still ordered: "Continue to explore, be careful and be careful, so keep my spirits up."
"Qin Feng is something that only a few people can understand."
The messenger left immediately, but the other generals present still didn't take it seriously.
I even think Ma Tingyun is making too much fuss.
Lu Ci curled his lips and said directly: "General, at this time, it is most taboo to let others' ambitions destroy your own prestige."
"Don't say that Qin Feng is not good. Even if he is really good, we can't take him too seriously. Otherwise, if the news spreads, what will the soldiers below think?"
"Those who don't know, think we are cowardly before we fight."
Several generals nearby agreed.
"That's right. Qin Feng does have outstanding achievements, but we all crawled out from the dead, why should we be afraid of him?"
"Hmph, if Qin Feng dares to show up, I will attack him on my own and take his head!"
In the face of everyone's doubts, Ma Tingyun did not show any displeasure. After all, these generals were all gathered from various places.
They were not Ma Tingyun's subordinates in the first place, and they were fighting fiercely with Liang Guo all day long. They were all arrogant and arrogant. They called General Ma Tingyun on their lips, but in fact they despised Ma Tingyun in their hearts.
There are many people who privately accuse Ma Tingyun of being a coward.
However, Ma Tingyun's mission was to guard Eagle Ridge, and he didn't worry about the rest.
The reputation is bad, but there is nothing to lose. If Eagle Ridge is lost, it will be a serious crime of losing one's head.
Several external generals looked unconvinced and suggested that they should take advantage of Qin Feng's unstable footing and directly send troops to kill him, which would definitely yield unexpected gains.
Ma Tingyun did not hesitate and refused directly: "No!"
"Qin Feng is surrounded by elite soldiers and generals. It would be too risky to take the initiative."
"As long as all of your soldiers defend the city, we, Eagle Ridge, will be invincible. Don't cause trouble for nothing."
As soon as he said this, Lu Ci looked at Ma Tingyun with even more contempt.
"Haha, General, you shouldn't be... afraid of Qin Feng, right?"
Before Ma Tingyun could refute, the messenger rushed into the mansion and shouted in panic.
"General, it's bad, there are mountains of corpses under the city!"
Ma Tingyun was stunned: "What?! Did you see a ghost? It's so good, where did the bones come from?"
The ordering soldier's face turned pale: "It's absolutely true. General, if you don't believe it, you'll know after you go out and take a look!"
