With his impassioned words, Lu Feng made the ministers in the court admire his bold idea.
The premise is that Lu Feng really has the ability to make these words come true.
Nowadays, both the government and the opposition are in turmoil due to border incidents, and the national treasury has not yet recovered due to previous disaster relief.
Therefore, if Lu Feng wanted to reinforce Pegasus Pass, the court would at most give him a small team.
After all, in addition to the large number of soldiers guarding the border, the imperial court also had to use the remaining troops to deal with the Shadow Organization.
After a speech in the court, Lu Feng temporarily convinced these ministers.
Needless to say, the main fighting faction is supporting Lu Feng.
As for the conservatives, once they see that Lu Feng cannot fulfill his promise, they will cause another controversy in the court.
He Wan could only give the greatest support to Lu Feng's actions.
She also didn't want to watch Daxia's land being annexed by the enemy.
The matter of reinforcing Pegasus Pass was quickly agreed upon, and early the next morning, Lu Fengbian set out with a pair of soldiers.
Pegasus Pass is located on the border east of the capital. Inside the pass is the fertile land of Daxia, and outside the pass is a large area of yellow sand.
Most of these invading small countries are desert tribes that have declared their own country.
In the past, they would not have dared to establish their own country. They had to ask the Emperor of Daxia for instructions, and only after receiving affirmation would they be recognized, which was equivalent to official recognition.
Otherwise, it’s just a game of house.
Today is different from the past. Daxia is weak and everyone wants to take a piece of meat from it.
Over at Pegasus Pass, the city guard deputy general Fan Yufei stood worriedly on the city wall, staring at the enemies outside the pass who were constantly provoking.
Due to this period of time, his energy was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was already exhausted.
But he was still holding back, knowing that once he fell, the Pegasus Pass would be close to being captured.
The enemies outside the pass sent people below to provoke them with words day after day. They said all dirty words, more than once.
Just because Pegasus Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are helpless.
The reason why the general died in battle was not only because he was lured in by showing off his flaws, but also because he was provoked by words before leading his troops out of the city to meet the enemy.
Fan Yufei called his entourage, "When will the support from the court arrive?"
"General, a request for reinforcements has been sent out. According to the distance between the two places, if nothing unexpected happens, we should see reinforcements in three days."
"Three days, three days." Fan Yufei murmured to himself, and then asked: "How much food and grass is left in Guanli?"
The attendant was silent for a while and said, "It's less than two days."
"It's his grandma's!" Fan Yufei couldn't help but yell, "If we hadn't lost most of our troops before, I would have exposed these thieves to blood."
But the harsh reality is before our eyes, and people have to bow their heads.
The enemies outside the pass became more and more arrogant. Seeing that there was no movement inside the pass, they provoked one after another.
Time passed bit by bit, and the next day soon came.
All the food and fodder within Pegasus Light has been exhausted. If reinforcements do not appear tomorrow, they will be defeated without the enemy attacking.
On the third day, under Fan Yufei's anxious gaze, a figure suddenly appeared on the road far away in the pass.
As the distance got closer, Fan Yufei finally saw the faces of these people clearly.
Wearing the uniform of Daxia soldiers. But as soon as the joy appeared on Fan Yufei's face, it quickly disappeared.
Because the number of these people is smaller than the people in the pass now, if they come for reinforcements, it will be of no help at all.
"Open the door!"
Lu Feng looked up at the person closing the door and shouted.
After a while, the door of Pegasus Gate opened wide, welcoming Lu Feng and others in.
"Who is Vice General Fan?" Lu Feng looked around and asked.
Fan Yufei stepped forward, "I am, who are you?"
Lu Feng looked at Fan Yufei and took out the imperial edict from the imperial court, "Your Majesty asked me to lead troops to reinforce Pegasus Pass. Now I am taking the lead in guarding Pegasus Pass, and General Fan is still assisting as the deputy general."
Seeing such a young Lu Feng saying that he was carrying such a person behind him, Fan Yufei could no longer hide his dejected expression.
"With just these few people, it makes no difference whether they come or not."
Lu Feng's reaction to Fan Yufei was expected, so he didn't blame him much.
"We don't have anything to eat, so why fight?"
Hearing what Fan Yufei said, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Don't panic, Vice Admiral Fan. The emergency supplies will arrive soon."
Said Cao Chao, Cao Chao arrived.
A soldier on guard at the gate of the city suddenly shouted: "There are grain trucks."
When Fan Yufei heard this, he quickly ran up to check.
On the official road, I saw many grain trucks slowly moving towards Pegasus Pass, being transported by some common people.
Lu Feng came to Fan Yufei and said, "This is a loan of grain from the people closest to the pass. The period is three days. After three days, I promise to return it to them in double the amount."
"Three days?" Fan Yufei looked at Lu Feng with a shocked expression, "Where will we get this food from and return it to them in three days? If it's nothing, I still believe it."
"Hahaha, this officer has his own clever plan. Lieutenant General Fan, what you have to do now is to send people down quickly to get food to fill the bellies of the people in the pass."
In fact, Lu Feng had already exhausted his efforts to borrow these grains. After all, those people's families were already stretched thin, and some families were starting to run out of food.
If one of the highly respected old men hadn't come out to lend Lu Feng's family food, leaving only three days' worth of food, the others would not have let go.
Even so, Lu Feng still promised them extra gold, silver and jewelry, and explained to them the importance of the current border crossing, and then successfully borrowed them.
Three days, Lu Feng must get food within three days.
After receiving the food from the common people, Pegasus Pass quickly lit a fire to cook so that every hungry soldier could fill his stomach.
On the city wall, Lu Feng, accompanied by two women in green and plain clothes, looked at the enemies outside the pass.
The situation is serious.
After seeing Fan Yufei come to the table after eating, Lu Feng took the initiative to speak.
"Vice General Fan, you know more about these thieves than I do. Please tell me about them so I can make a plan."
Fan Yufei now distrusts Lu Feng, but within the pass, Lu Feng is a senior official, so he has no choice but to obey.
After some explanations, Lu Feng finally understood the situation outside Pegasus Pass.
Lu Feng reached out and touched his chin, and said: "Vice General Fan, the one who is provoking people outside now is Zuo Manduo from the Black Sand Tribe. According to what you said, this person is eager for quick success, but with his impressive military strength, Pegasus is now Guan’s fierce rival.”
This is the vanguard force of these small countries. The large troops are stationed behind. Although the opponent has a numerical advantage in attacking Pegasus Pass, the fact that they have not been able to defeat it after fighting for so long shows that the number of people is very important to Pegasus Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's not a problem, you have to be smart.
"This way, you do it like this."
Lu Feng asked Fan Yufei to come over.
"Master Lu, is this okay?" Fan Yufei was a little worried.
"rest assured."
