Chapter 21. To war!

Military!

Right now, Shi Bo is already a soldier under Lin Feng. In any case, it is impossible for a soldier to ask the commander's military orders on major issues without authorization.

So there is nothing wrong with Lin Feng giving him forty lashes. But he did not do that, he just made the soldiers tie up Shi Bo.

To blame, he can only blame himself for being sloppy and getting caught.

This confused Shi Bo, knowing that he was in the wrong, but he didn't get the corresponding lash. Not wanting to refute any more, he just let the forty sword and shield soldiers tie him up like a prisoner.

It’s just that before leaving, his eyes that were looking deeply at Lin Feng had already told the other party clearly that he had written down this grudge!

Lin Feng, of course, was just messing with him, and his purpose of coming to the barracks is considered complete, and now he is ready leave.

Its just that the men still have to prepare their equipment, food and all other things that will be needed and Ouyang Ke is supervising this with Lin Feng's instruction.

But at this time, Lin Feng and Xu Canling is sitting in the camp, drinking tea and resting.

"Little brother has led soldiers before?"

Xu Canling gently blew the steaming tea, and seemed to ask casually.

"Know a little."

Lin Feng nodded his head. 

"A little?"

Xu Canling drank a sip from his cup, his face trembled twice, and said with disdain, "I see that you have a laissez-faire approach to the army, and I think you have no right leading one at that age."

Lin Feng's carelessness can be seen on his face, but Xu Canling is amazed in his heart. Who's child is this? How can this little guy be so confident in himself? Most children can't help but cry when confronted by grown men such as those bastards from Panying camp.

"Many say that, but I beg to differ."

"We'll see about that."

Lin Feng's act of bluffing Shi Bo was nothing more than a prank. Just but a passing whim of his childish mind.

But still, being able to select a lineup with both offensive and defensive capabilities from these soldiers at a glance, this cannot be explained by just good luck.

He can do it by himself, but that is because of his years of experience in marching and fighting. While this little boy did'nt even look long enough, but he was able to correctly pick the best soldiers? Is it just coincidence, or is there any talent involve? Is this really the difference between people?

For example, swordsmen and shields are usually short and strong men with a steady footing, while pikemen are tall and healthy, with good waist and abdomen. As for archers, their eyes are sharper than ordinary people.

These are all small details, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and the information about Lin Feng according to Tang Feng, was just a small entourage of the Tang family.

A little entourage, does the Tang family still have a vacancy? He wants to send his son in order to be taken care of too.

Xu Canling does not believe it. He thinks Lin Feng is like a son of a bigshot or something. If an entourage can be as easygoing as this, then he must be living a really fulfilled life there or something. He really looks down on Tang Feng, telling such a terrible lie to him and expecting him to believe it. And if what he said is really true, then he also really looks down on the Tang family, for raising their servant to be like this.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

So more or less, he began to have doubts about Lin Feng's identity in his heart, which is why he tricked Tang Feng into leaving just to test Lin Feng alone.

"How can a kid like you know the tricks of selecting good soldiers?"

How can Lin Feng explain?

Tell the other party that he can directly see the soldier's proficiency level?

So Lin Feng just defuse the tension with Xu Canling by slapping the other guys shoulder, and laughed while saying: "I am interested in this, so I will naturally pay more attention to it. As the saying goes, have you never seen a pig run without eating pork?"

"Pig...Run?"

Xu Canling is obviously stunned. This metaphor seems appropriate, but I always feel that something is wrong with this kid saying it. How many pigs has he seen in order to apply it at his current age?

Lin Feng obviously didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he then changed the subject: "Sir Xu, godfather said those soldiers are very good, but why would you so easily give them away?"

"And judging by their appearance, why are they so dissatisfied with you?"

"This…"

Xu Canling groaned, his fat fingers circling the edge of the teacup, and Lin Feng's sharp question successfully diverted his attention.

"Kid, you might not know, but these people are used to doing things their own way, and it is because of that we never see eye to eye. That is a terrible thing. These soldiers have problems, I would rather not have them in the next war and use other more obedient soldiers instead. It’s better than being unclear and giving my life away!"

At the end, he thought about it, and then said: "But I can assure you that these people are absolutely fine, and you have seen their combat power. If you use them well, it will be a great help to yourself!"

Lin Feng is silent.

In fact, he probably guessed a bit, and asking more deliberately is just changing the subject.

But there is a word from the Xu Canling that is somewhat right.

That is, the combat power of these people is really good, when compared with the other soldiers he passed on the way here. But for Lin Feng, they are no different from his gang members back home.

If he was given enough time, he can turn everyone here into the same strength as the retainers. If he can accept all of these people...

The revenge plan against the Hulnora will not be an illusion anymore. In fact, after his godfather brought him to the barracks, Lin Feng felt that the other party wanted him to solicit the soldiers of the Pan Ying camp.

His goal for this team is not only to eliminate the secret whistles and posts on the way to Rabatash but the ultimate goal should be to gather these soldiers for himself!

After seeing Lin Feng's expression turned serious after his words, Xu Canliang lost the curiosity to explore Lin Feng's background, and he seemed a little disappointed while sipping the tea.

Lin Feng naturally wouldn't provoke a conversation rashly, and the two of them were silent, both thinking their own thoughts.

After readying everything, it is not nonsense that the soldiers of Panying are irresponsible. Judging from their actions before marching, if Lin Feng was replaced by an ordinary general, they would not be able to lie down for two or three days after being lashed, every single one of them.

But now, except for Shi Bo who was being dragged by a horse, the other soldiers were marching as usual. Along with Lin Feng, Ouyang Ke and Major Hao, a group of 152 soldiers and one prisoner left the main army.

"Godson, we'll send you off, and hope to see you return in triumph soon!"

After traveling for 8 miles, Tang Feng with Old Jiao and old Cao sent off Lin Feng and his party at the intersection. Naturally, the group met the other retainers who promptly joined in the queue.

"Godfather, take care!"

Lin Feng also bowed his head in return, and watched the three ride their horses in the direction of the camp.

"My son, where are we going?"

The scout sergeant in the Panying team was named Chen Ming, and he was quite clever. Knowing that Lin Feng had no military rank at this time, he followed Ouyang Ke and called him son.

Then drew the map of Zigrek province in front of Lin Feng.

As a scout, he must first go to find the military situation near their destination.

Ganafer Kakyr Mountains.

On the poorly drawn caricature on the ground, Lin Feng had already determined the location of the border and its surrounding terrain. A day ago, he found information about Zigrek state to make up for it.

At the time Chen Ming asked, he pointed out with confidence, and said: "Let's go here first!"

The Ganafer Kakyr Mountains is the border of Jiangxin province and Zigrek state. Near itself is a small canyon called the Bashiat depression. Perhaps not many Han know about this Bashiat canyon. Yes, its reputation is of ill repute.

The Bashiat canyon and its poisonous forest is not far from the Ancient Road, only more than seventy miles away, but the environment here is quite different.

The Ancient Road is full of yellow sand, but the forest of Bashiat canyon is full of miasma, dense forest, quagmire and swamp, which makes it a really undeveloped area.

It is precisely because of this geographical environment that it has become a hiding place for the secrets whistles and posts of both Han and Stan people.

The environment of this forest is a bit like the valley of the Ganafer which is just past the Ganafer Kakyr mountains. The people hiding in it are all patriotic fanatics, and everyone’s hands are stained with the blood of non-race.
