Chapter 15 Make New Contributions

At this time in Kyoto, in the Tai Chi Hall, the civil and military officials were arguing like a pot of porridge. Emperor Zhao Xuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty was sitting on the dragon chair with a helpless face. On one side was the emperor's uncle Zhao Lie, holding a heavy army, and on the other side was the prime minister Zhang Jiuzhou.

The leader of a hundred officials has many followers.

So what can he do as an emperor who has been ignored? In these years, since he ascended the throne, he has never made the decision, so it is the same today, listen!

Zhao Lie took the lead in the battle, believing that the Wu tribe in the north had been in civil strife for many years and had not recovered its vitality, so it was just the right time to take this opportunity to attack the Wu tribe and avoid future troubles.

Zhang Jiuzhou believes that the Wu people are good at fighting, and their national strength has increased after ten years of development. At present, they are only harassing the border and do not station troops.

The Wu clan does not really want to go to war with the Zhou Dynasty, but as usual, they are harassed by some small tribes. They need to send envoys to negotiate, and there is no need to go to war.

The two camps were squabbling and quarreling, and they were in a stalemate. The army was going to war anyway, but the government did not help raise food and fodder, and they kept arguing.

In the end, no one could convince anyone, so they had to reach an opinion that both parties reluctantly accepted.

That is, the imperial court sent envoys to negotiate with the Wu tribe, all border troops and horses were on alert, border patrols and investigations were strengthened, and local governments prepared food and grass in case of emergencies.

Wu Feng led his fifty men to become one of the reconnaissance teams of the forward battalion. The quality of his team members varied greatly, and they were used to being lazy. Their boss was too lazy to treat the new young boy.

Wu Feng didn't fight them hard. They were basically veterans. They didn't have much military training, but they had a lot of bad intentions. If they couldn't be completely subdued, it would be more difficult to lead these soldiers in the future.

Every morning, Wu Feng asked all his soldiers to patrol the border with him, patrolling three hundred miles every day, which was called: patrol under orders!

The military orders were like mountains, but they didn't dare to disobey them. This was a hard life for these soldiers, who had never suffered like this. After a few days, their thighs were worn out, and they were about to fall apart. They all complained incessantly, but they didn't dare to disobey them.

.Otherwise, if someone is labeled as not respecting orders, they will be left with nothing to eat!

A month later, these people were at their wits end. This was an order from the imperial court. Who dared to disobey it? People in other military camps were all just showing off, but my new boss made it clear that he wanted the new officer to take over.

Continuing to confront Wu Feng will not lead to any good results. He follows the orders of his superiors and takes advantage of them. Who dares to push him? These soldiers are all bowing their heads and being submissive.

Wu Feng also learned from Hu Youcai, Lao Dao and others these days about the knowledge and experience of leading troops in war. As for Wang Zhi's talent in tracking traces, Wu Feng also benefited a lot.

Early that morning, Wang Zhi reported to him that they found horse hoof prints on the line they were patrolling! These horse hoof prints were not in the same direction, but were from south to north. Through comparative analysis, they found that they were a group of ten people and ten riders.

Witch Clan Investigation Team!

Wu Feng immediately reported the news to his superiors. After Wu Bao, the commander of the forward camp, received the news, he threw it away without taking it seriously. There was so much information like this in the forward camp every day, and everything was reported, so Lord Shangguan had to be busy.

Death? Subordinates should share the worries of their superiors. This is the way to be an official.

It is true that the forward battalion often receives similar news, but after checking it several times with no results, they all relaxed their vigilance. This is exactly the strategy of the Wu clan. But this time, Wu Feng intuitively believed that this time it was different.

In the past, there were more people this time, and they went deep into the south of Daqing Mountain. This is a dangerous signal!

Since returning from General Zhu's Mansion, Wu Feng and Shangguan Qingxue have met several times, and they have had a serious discussion of marksmanship. Both sides' marksmanship has improved very quickly, so they have gradually become more familiar with each other.

.

Wu Bao's attitude from the vanguard camp made Wu Feng anxious. Time is running out, and if he doesn't hurry up and chase, he will miss the opportunity! Wu Feng came to the general's mansion alone. After meeting Shangguan Qingxue, he explained his purpose of coming.

After Shangguan Wenchi heard the news, he knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he made a decisive decision and ordered Wu Feng to lead his troops to pursue it immediately.

Wu Feng led his 50 men, brought dry food, and rode horses to pursue them. Under Wang Zhi's tracking guidance, Wu Feng and his party followed the horse's hoof prints and gradually approached Juyan Village.

Juyan Village is just a small beacon fire tower. There were originally five soldiers guarding it, but now it seems that something unexpected happened. This place has now become a temporary camp for these Wu clan scouts.

Far away, Wu Feng ordered everyone to dismount, leaving a few people behind, while others quietly sneaked towards the beacon tower and surrounded it.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly. Except for the six men under his command who were slightly injured due to the panic of the first battle, no one else was injured. The entire Wu Clan reconnaissance team was captured. Sure enough, there were ten people in the team.

!

When Wu Feng's team appeared in the forward camp with the prisoners, it immediately caused a commotion in the forward camp.

"Wu Feng, that kid must be so lucky. He caught ten tongues during one patrol! He's more prosperous this time," some melon-eaters who didn't know the truth said with envy.

"I've only heard of the Wu Clan before, but I didn't expect it to look like this. It's similar to us humans, just with an extra horn." Passerby A, who had never seen the Wu Clan for many years as a soldier, finally opened his eyes.

Passerby B said: "Looking at the Wu soldiers, it's not a big deal. It's just Wu Feng's bad luck."

After Wu Feng and his team handed over the prisoners, they returned to the camp. Not long after, there were waves of people coming to congratulate them, to get close to them, and to find out information. After all, they had captured a reconnaissance team, which was of great use.

It's not comparable to killing nine enemies before. Many people know that Wu Feng is going to be strong this time.

The next day, Wu Bao, the general of the forward battalion, was dealt with by military law. Wu Feng and others received various awards. Wu Feng was promoted to the rank of valiant cavalry general and served as the deputy general of the forward battalion! The generals were appointed separately by the Ministry of War.

At this time, all the subordinates who followed Wu Feng were naturally excited. Who wants to be a coward when serving as a soldier? Who doesn’t want to make meritorious deeds? There was no hope before, so they just messed around, but this time it’s better, and they can easily get military merit. Look.

Seeing other brothers being envious of themselves, their self-esteem is greatly satisfied!

It's good to follow this boss. He can make meritorious deeds. The key is fairness. He doesn't take credit from his subordinates, nor does he withhold rewards from his subordinates. This kind of boss is rare nowadays, so everyone is devoted to Wu Feng and praises him.

In a manor outside Sishui City, the porcelain vases and jade items inside were damaged again, with pieces scattered all over the floor. The maids and servants were so frightened that they did not dare to show their anger.

"Young master, calm down! Why bother with him? Isn't he just a bad guy who got lucky? We have plenty of opportunities to deal with him." A goatee said cautiously next to Huyanhe.

"That bastard with mud legs is almost on an equal footing with me! My father spent a lot of effort to get this general, this young master. He is a stinky guy, how can he be so virtuous!" Hu Yanhe said angrily.

If it were someone else, he, Hu Yanhe, might have gone to host a banquet and tried to win over him. But this Wu Feng made him upset when he saw him! Especially recently, he heard that he was often with Xiaoxue, which made him even more irritable.

.

"Sir, there is constant friction between the Wu Clan and me, Da Zhou, and that boy is in the vanguard camp again. Hey, sir, are you still worried that you won't have the chance to kill that boy?" Goat Beard gave a sly smile and came up with another poisonous plan for Huyanhe.

Hu Yanhe turned from anger to joy, patted Goatee on the shoulder and said, "You still have a way! Kill that kid, and I will reward you heavily!"
