Chapter 225: Feng Xuanming appears!
After discussing the strategy for the Seven Mountains and Forty-nine Villages with Gongsun Liang.
Jiang Chen called Du Mingyu over, and also called Zhang Fei, the person in charge of the "Ant Hole", over.
After Du Mingyu and Zhang Fei arrived at Jiang Chen's house together, they were taken to Jiang Chen's study by a silver-armored guard.
"I am honored to meet you, my lord."
"Okay, you two come over here and take a look."
"If you think there is no problem with this plan, execute it immediately!"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out the strategy he and Gongsun Liang had made for the Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages.
Du Mingyu and Zhang Fei took the strategy guide with confusion and started reading it.
After reading the strategy guide, Du Mingyu said to Jiang Chen with great admiration.
"My lord, I really can't find any problems with this plan!"
"If this plan is strictly implemented, I guarantee that we can capture these bandits."
Zhang Fei on the side touched his head awkwardly. Looking at Zhang Fei who was a little embarrassed, Jiang Chen smiled.
"Zhang Fei, you don't have to think too much. You just need to follow the steps in the plan."
"Yes, my lord, I understand."
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Zhang Fei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
And just like that, after the action against the Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages was finalized.
Jiang Chen began to make plans against the bandits on Lanfeng Mountain in Jibei County.
On this day, Zhao Wuqing, the chief of the seven strongholds in Lanfeng Mountain, had just returned to the stronghold with his men after looting.
Before Zhao Wuqing could catch his breath, he heard his men running in in panic.
"Boss, Boss, something bad has happened!"
Hearing the minions' shouts, Zhao Wuqing turned around unhappily and shouted.
"You are so flustered. How disgraceful!"
"Tell me what happened quickly. If you make a fuss, we'll kill you!"
Under Zhao Wuqing's scolding, the minion said tremblingly.
"Reporting to the boss, a lot of soldiers suddenly came down the mountain!"
"Our Lanfeng Mountain has now been completely surrounded by soldiers!"
After listening to what the minion said, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Wuqing's eyes.
How is this possible!?
The time he and King Jin agreed upon had not arrived yet, so where did these soldiers come from?!
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuqing couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Just when he was puzzled, a figure slowly walked into the gathering hall.
"Old Zhao, you don't have to be confused. This group of people should be the people of General Zhenbei."
As the figure finished speaking, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes slowly walked out.
Looking at this middle-aged man in brocade clothes, Zhao Wuqing felt like he had seen his backbone.
"Master Military Advisor, why are you here?!"
"The chief village chief asked me to deliver a batch of new weapons and equipment to you, and to check on the situation here."
This middle-aged man in brocade clothes is the chief military advisor of the Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages - Feng Xuanming!
Zhao Wuqing trusts and relies on this chief military advisor very much.
This trust and reliance is due to the series of achievements that the chief military advisor has made since he took command of the seven mountains and forty-nine villages.
It can be said that if there were no chief military advisor Feng Xuanming, the nearly 50,000 bandits in their 49 mountain strongholds would be a mess!
"Master Military Advisor, since it's that general who's here, let's just kill him!"
Zhao Wuqing looked at Feng Xuanming. At this moment, he was no longer as panicked as before!
After hearing what Zhao Wuqing said, Feng Xuanming shook his head helplessly.
"That's not right. Although we work for the King of Jin, we are bandits after all."
"If we really come into conflict with this General Zhenbei, we're probably going to have a hard time!"
Feng Xuanming said this and walked to a chair nearby and sat down.
Zhao Wuqing obviously didn't listen to what he said.
"Military Advisor, they have already reached our gates. Isn't it obvious that they look down on us?"
As soon as Zhao Wuqing finished speaking, Feng Xuanming on the side rolled his eyes at him.
"Don't worry about this anymore. Go and get a thousand people and go with me to meet this Prince Fuguo!"
Seeing that Feng Xuanming was dissatisfied with his idea, Zhao Wuqing had no choice but to shut up.
Then, Zhao Wuqing gathered a thousand troops according to Feng Xuanming's instructions, and followed Feng Xuanming out of the mountain stronghold.
When Feng Xuanming and his group arrived outside the camp of Jiang Chen's troops, they were stopped by the silver-armored guards guarding there.
"Who is coming?!"
"I am the second in command of the Lanfeng Mountain Stronghold. I have long heard of the reputation of the Duke of Fuguo, so I came here to pay a visit!"
After hearing Feng Xuanming's words, the group of silver-armored guards were slightly stunned.
"Wait here, don't take another step forward!"
After a centurion of the Silver Armor Guard warned Feng Xuanming, he turned around, quickly mounted his horse and rushed into the camp.
At this time, in the central army tent, Jiang Chen was drinking hot tea with Du Mingyu and Gongsun Liang.
However, in addition to Jiang Chen and the other two, there was also a sturdy middle-aged man in cloth sitting quietly in the corner.
The centurion of the silver-armored army reined in his horse outside the central army tent and quickly ran into the tent.
"My lord, a group of soldiers have arrived outside the camp, and the leader claims to be the second in command of Lanfeng Mountain."
"The second in command of Lanfeng Mountain?!"
"Did he tell you why he came?"
After hearing the centurion's report, Jiang Chen frowned.
But in fact, Jiang Chen was already very happy.
It turned out that according to Gongsun Liang's strategy, the reason why Jiang Chen surrounded Lanfeng Mountain this time was not to suppress the bandits.
It was to intimidate the "bandits" under the King of Jin and make them pay tribute obediently.
In this way, Jiang Chen achieved his goal and saved a lot of effort at the same time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen waved to the centurion, signaling him to bring the person in.
Not long after, the centurion came back, and Feng Xuanming and Zhao Wuqing followed him.
"I, the Second in Command of Lanfeng Mountain, greet Master Fuguo!"
Feng Xuanming walked to the center of the tent and bowed to Jiang Chen, who was sitting at the top.
Looking at Feng Xuanming, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand calmly, waved it casually, and said.
"Get up, and tell me, why did you come to see me?"
"It is like this, sir. I came to see you because I want to negotiate with you."
"Although our Lanfengshan stronghold is a bandit, we have never robbed the people."
"So, I dare to ask you to withdraw your troops!"
After stating his purpose, Feng Xuanming lowered his head again and waited quietly for Jiang Chen's response.
After hearing what Feng Xuanming said, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown.
"As far as I know, the second in command of Lanfeng Mountain is not you!"
"Or rather, I should call you Mr. Feng."
