Just when Qin Feng was building a grain storage stronghold in the rear with great fanfare, a fierce internal fighting had already begun in Gusu City.
The powerful forces headed by Lin Wenwan and assisted by Wang Keng launched a frantic attack on the remaining old troops of the Jiangnan Governor.
The battle was fierce and short. It only took half a day, and after hundreds of casualties were paid, the winner was decided.
Because of Lin Wenwan's absolute control over the supplies in Gusu City, coupled with Wang Keng's strong support.
Not surprisingly, this battle ended with Lin Wenwan's devastating victory.
More than ten lieutenants were escorted in front of Lin Wenwan.
These people are all loyalists to the Governor of Jiangnan.
Even though he failed, his resentment towards Lin Wenwan still increased rather than diminished.
They all gritted their teeth and glared at the aloof Lin Wenwan.
"As expected, the actor is ruthless and the bitch is unrighteous!"
"What a good person! A cunning rabbit will die and be cooked by lackeys, and a good bird will be hidden away. Lin, you will not die a happy death!"
"We fully supported Gusu City and did not hesitate to confront the imperial court and become rebels. Is this how you repay us?"
Facing the roars of the lieutenants, Lin Wenwan remained unmoved.
Lin Wenwan, who had completely taken control of the entire Gusu City, acted with ease and ease.
"Support fully, or take advantage of the opportunity?"
"It's better to say it than to sing it. If you hadn't obstructed my order again and again, how could I have lost to Qin Feng?"
"Gusu City can only have one master."
"Every general has only one mission, which is to obey orders."
"This is a battlefield, not a court. Let's leave brainstorming for later."
"There are many talking heads and fighting on their own. Gusu City seems to be fighting against the same enemy, but in fact it is a piece of scattered sand."
Facing Lin Wenwan's refutation, all the generals gritted their teeth.
They were originally unconvinced by Lin Wenwan, but now that they were attacked by Lin Wenwan, they hated her even more.
"Winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs, so what if you lose a game?"
"If it weren't for the bloody battles of my subordinates like us, how could we have severely damaged Sun Bo's vanguard?!"
Hearing this, Lin Wenwan's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
"So what if we lose a game?!"
"I'll tell you exactly how it is!"
Lin Wenwan stood up and threw all the military reports that had been sent from the scouts outside the city in the past few days to the ground.
"Qin Feng is already in Lingzhou, starting to farm and build a stronghold."
"Once the grain storage land is built, Qin Feng's logistical strength will be solid and unshakable."
"By then, Qin Feng will be invincible. No matter how this battle is fought, we will lose."
The lieutenants were still unconvinced.
The leader, the bearded man, glared and replied angrily: "What does Qin Feng's construction of grain storage land have to do with us?"
Lin Wenwan laughed out loud: "If Qin Feng hadn't revived frontline morale, how could he have dared to relax at all?"
"Qin Feng's first battle in the southern border seemed small, but in fact it severely damaged Gusu City."
"It took several battles in Gusu City to defeat the morale of the imperial army, but in the end, they were all sent back in one battle."
"Tian Yi mobilized his whole body. Now, the imperial army no longer takes our soldiers in the southern border seriously."
"In their view, our army simply does not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field. In this case, as long as the city is surrounded, we can vigorously develop logistics."
"This confidence is all given to Qin Feng by you!"
Speaking of this, Lin Wenwan pointed at one of the military reports and yelled.
"Qin Feng is outside Gusu City, preaching that the imperial army is a benevolent and righteous army, and Qin Feng is a savior sent by the imperial court."
"Half a month ago, there were thousands of people providing intelligence to Gusu City, but yesterday, only more than a hundred people still maintained contact with Gusu City."
"In just half a month, Gusu City's intelligence network was cut by 90%!"
"The people in the southern region who were supposed to belong to us have now turned to support Qin Feng. This is the collateral effect of defeat!"
The dozen generals were all speechless.
When faced with Qin Feng's provocation, Lin Wenwan resolutely refused to fight. It was precisely because of their influence that Lin Wenwan had to compromise.
Once this battle is lost, the advantage Gusu City accumulated in the early stage will be gone.
Wang Keng looked at the former governor's staff and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"
"As frontline generals, who of you is the real fool? Isn't it just to seize power and make people stupid?!"
"If we don't eradicate these scourges, Gusu City will never be able to unite as one."
"If Qin Feng knew about the internal strife in Gusu City, he would probably laugh out of his dreams."
Wang Keng waved his hand: "Take these remnants out and behead them all in public!"
Lin Wenwan and Wang Keng wanted to detail the crimes of these remnants of the old tribe in public, and then execute them to strengthen people's hearts.
As heads fell to the ground, Gusu City was officially controlled by Lin Wenwan.
That very day, she issued an order.
"Send two hundred dead soldiers, divided into five teams, with forty people in each team, to go out of the city to kill!"
"Kill a village when you encounter it, destroy a village when you encounter it!"
"Remember two points, one is to dress up like the imperial troops, and the other is not to kill them all, but to leave some alive in each village."
Lin Wenwan's eyes flashed with a sinister look: "Isn't Qin Feng trying to win over the people in the southern border?"
"I'll destroy his reputation first and see if any people are willing to support him."
As a native of Jiangnan, Wang Keng was a little embarrassed by Lin Wenwan's order.
"Madam, if you kill our own people, I'm afraid..."
Before Wang Keng could finish speaking, Lin Wenwan waved her hand and interrupted: "Achieve great things, regardless of trivial matters."
"Gusu City has been in internal strife for too long and has been too passive. If I hadn't been forced into this situation, how could I have made such a move?"
“If you want to achieve great things, some sacrifices are inevitable.”
Now that the words have come to this point, although Wang Keng can't bear it, he can only obey the order.
That night, the two hundred dead soldiers quietly left Gusu City through the secret passage, divided into five groups, and headed towards the nearby villages.
Two days later, Qin Feng, who was in charge of building a stronghold in Lingzhou, received a series of bad news.
"King Qin, the villages around Gusu City were massacred!"
"It was all done by our people!"
"No fewer than five hundred people were killed, and almost all the nearby villagers fled."
Qin Feng, who was originally in a good mood, frowned immediately when he heard this and rushed back to the front line station.
Ordered to summon all the generals under his command, including General Fanya and above, to be present.
"Liu Ming, give me a thorough investigation."
"If the massacre in the surrounding villages was really done by our soldiers, they will be punished on the spot!"
This is the first time Qin Feng has been so angry since he arrived at the front line.
The massacre of so many people will make Qin Feng's entire plan go to waste!
