Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 158: Four Food Shortages

Cui Ying was trying to appease Lin Feng when she heard someone calling her name and turned around.

"Zhao Shuo, why are you here?"

These second-generation officials all know each other.

We used to play together when we were young.

"You...you and...him, how..."

Zhao Shuo's face was pale, and his hand was shaking as he pointed at Lin Feng.

Cui Ying frowned and said, "This is none of your business. Just stay away."

She is well-known for her toughness, and when she was little she often bullied Zhao Shuo, Su Yun and other playboys.

Lin Feng stood up and said solemnly.

"Cui Ying, the relationship between you and me is purely comrades in the border army, and we used to have a superior-subordinate relationship. As for the issue of food and fodder, you have no say. Hurry and report to the general."

After saying that, he walked away.

Qin Fang shouted, "No need to report. Boss, you have already decided to give the food and fodder to the Border City Army. I will go and prepare it immediately."

After saying that, he followed Lin Feng out.

Cui Ying stretched his body horizontally to block Lin Feng's way.

"Stand still. Since you don't care about the old relationship, then well, do you still care about your father and sister?"

Lin Feng's body suddenly froze, with only his eyeballs rolling.

"this..."

He turned his head and looked at Qin Fang apologetically.

"Captain Cui, as long as you can safely get my father and sister to Lingdouzi Castle, these forty carts of food and fodder can be sent to the border army camp. How about that?"

Cui Ying finally smiled victoriously.

When Qin Fang heard this, he immediately became very anxious.

"Boss, the soldiers in the border town are running out of food. If we delay any further, they will surely disperse without a fight. Zhenxi is in danger!"

Cui Ying quickly stepped forward.

"Lin Feng, the border troops numbering tens of thousands have been starving for a long time, and the war horses have eaten a lot. If this continues, there will inevitably be a mutiny."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Cui Ying turned to Qiao Jun and said.

"General Qiao, pass the order down and have the main camp send people here immediately."

Qiao Jun was a little hesitant.

"General Cui, this..."

"immediately!"

Cui Ying shouted loudly.

Qiao Jun nodded and turned to leave.

If forty carts of food and fodder were sent to the border army camp, all crises would be alleviated immediately.

Although Qin Fang was anxious, he did not dare to get too excited in front of Lin Feng.

Bai Jing also went over and tugged at Qin Fang's sleeve at the right time.

After quietly telling him the reason, Qin Fang also understood Lin Feng's difficulties.

After everyone calmed down, Lin Feng spoke slowly.

"Whether it's the border troops or the provincial troops, they all bear the heavy responsibility of containing the Tartars. We must not allow the lack of food and fodder to shake their morale."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the room.

"This general has decided to squeeze out another forty carts of food and send them to the border town."

When Qin Fang heard this, he immediately knelt on one leg excitedly and saluted Lin Feng.

"Thank you, Boss. You are so wise!"

Cui Ying immediately rolled his eyes at Lin Feng.

You say it so easily, but aren’t we running out of food?

How come eighty carts of food and fodder were produced in less than half an hour?

Others breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Jing was anxious.

"Brother, where can we get so much food?"

"Alas, I would rather starve myself than not send food to the army. Otherwise, if the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be destroyed."

"But...but..."

"Okay, stop worrying and go get some food."

Lin Feng waved his hand decisively and gave the order.

"However, you two families must get carriages. I don't have that many carriages available here."

Cui Ying immediately shouted, "That's no problem. I'll have someone dispatch a car right away."

Qin Fang also ran out.

The room finally became quiet, with only Lin Feng and Zhao Shuo left, looking at each other.

Zhao Shuo licked his dry lips.

"Uh...Brother, you and Cui Ying...really..."

Lin Feng interrupted him immediately.

"Nonsense, I have nothing to do with her, go after her without worry."

"Brother, you are my good brother, are you serious about this?"

"Nonsense, it's more real than real!"

Zhao Shuo's face, originally pale and lacking in blood, immediately turned red.

"Brother, you are my real brother."

After saying that, he waved his hand and rushed out of the house.

Hua Ying followed closely behind him.

They all left, but after a while, Li Xiong rushed in.

"Boss, we don't have that much food. If you do this, tens of thousands of people will starve."

As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiong started crying and shouting.

He was the chief of logistics, and his subordinates had no food. Not only would the soldiers have nothing to eat, but even the five thousand civilians would have nothing to eat. Once the food ran out, the project would be shut down.

When the time comes, the task of getting food will fall on him.

There is a food shortage everywhere now. Where can he get food?

This is just pushing people to death.

Lin Feng sat on a chair and waved to Li Xiong, asking him to come closer.

"Who asked you to really get food?"

"No... Boss..."

"Then you can just load some bags of soil onto the cart and cover them with some sorghum stalks and weeds."

"what?"

Li Xiong widened his eyes and stared at Lin Feng blankly.

"Boss, eighty cars, all... like this?"

"That's the case."

"Then, if we transport this kind of food and fodder to the border town, won't it cut off our official roads?"

"You're just thinking about your official hat and not the reason."

"Yes, Boss, why?"

"Think about it yourself, but this matter must be kept secret, and the grain transfer must be made public."

Although Li Xiong was confused, he could only nod.

I was thinking to myself, do I dare to do this openly?

"Xie Zhong, go and pass the order on to Qin Fang, Zhang Changyou, Li Donglai, Lin Qiaomei, Yu Lei, Li Hu, and Wei Bao to report to the headquarters immediately."

Xie Chong took the order and left.

Bai Jing also returned to the room and asked in surprise when she saw this.

"Brother, are you going to fight again?"

Lin Feng was drawing a picture on the table and nodded.

"We have no food left, so we have to fight this war."

Seeing Li Xiong still standing there.

"Hurry up and gather food and fodder, why are you staying here?"

"Hey, Boss, I'll go right away."

"Remember, one down and one up."

Li Xiong's eyes were filled with confusion and his mind was in a mess.

There was no other way but to secretly pull Bai Jing's sleeve and ask her to come out and talk.

Bai Jing followed him out the door and listened to Li Xiong tell her what had just happened.

After a while, Bai Jing grinned.

In the sunlight, the snow-white teeth made Li Xiong even more confused.

Personnel from all parties are being mobilized urgently.

Dozens of carriages, coming from different directions, gathered towards Lingdouzi Castle.

The border army camp also sent thousands of troops to Lingdouzi to prepare to transport food and fodder.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of all parties.

Given the current situation, all parties are short of food, and even the Tartars are very anxious.

They went to various counties and towns to plunder food and supplies, and their quantity gradually decreased.

Always pay attention to the movements of all parties.

When one suddenly discovers a large number of carriages being mobilized, one naturally pays close attention.

No matter what others are doing.

Lin Feng has summoned several of his officers to hold a meeting at the command center.

He glanced at everyone and pointed at the sketch on the table.

"Tomorrow, forty carts of food and fodder will be transported to the border town."

He paused, noticing everyone's attention was focused.

"The forty carriages are divided into two teams, each taking a separate route. The two teams of grain carts are escorted by Zhang Changyou and Yu Lei respectively."

"Li Hu coordinated the situation, while Wei Bao monitored the Tartars' movements at all times."

Zhang Changyou frowned and asked, "Boss, if the Tartars come to rob us, it will be difficult to deliver the food and fodder."
