Lin Feng contributed food not because he was afraid that King Qi would offend him, but because he could not bear to see the refugees being exploited again.
More than two months passed, and news came from the front line that King Qi had been defeated.
"They fought five million against over three million, and at their own doorstep, yet they lost. What a bunch of idiots." Ren Gang complained to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said, "You only know one thing. Although the Northern Barbarians' army is smaller than Prince Qi's army, they have been attacking and advancing all the way, and they have rich combat experience. On the other hand, Prince Qi's army was hastily recruited and poorly trained. Once on the battlefield, they only care about saving their lives. The Northern Barbarians' fighting spirit is much higher than Prince Qi's army. Their defeat is not unjust. As a general under Prince Qi, you should understand what I mean."
Ren Gang nodded repeatedly: "Boss, what you said makes sense. Prince Qi and the imperial army are too comfortable."
He then said, "What about us? Don't you consider joining King Qi?"
Lin Feng shook his head. "We just need to defend our little piece of land. What good will it do if we win? Prince Qi, Prince Yu, and the imperial court will all see me as the biggest threat. When the time comes, they'll inevitably fall out. That's the most troublesome thing! We'll just have to wait and see."
I am a beast, and although I can defeat the Northern Barbarians, will they let me, a beast, sleep next to them? Obviously, it is impossible.
Lin Feng was unwilling to see his comrades killing each other, and he would not easily show his fangs unless they threatened his own side.
Although he would not participate in the battle, in order to prevent King Qi from suffering a heavy defeat and luring the Northern Barbarian army out of his defense zone, Lin Feng began recruiting and training soldiers again, and Linglong Tower also accelerated the production and storage of weapons and ammunition.
…
At the Prince Qi's marching camp, Li Guo sighed as he looked at the Prince Qi who was in a daze.
"Military Advisor Li, why do you think the Liman tribe wants to betray us again? Is it because our promises are not enough to satisfy them?" King Qi looked very tired.
He could never have imagined that the Liman tribe led a swarm of black bees into the battlefield, and the target of their attack was actually his own side. You know, a few days ago, the elders of the Liman tribe had repeatedly promised to cooperate with the Dayan Dynasty to defeat the Northern Barbarian army.
But now he has gone back on his word. What is his intention?
"The Liman tribe has been fence-sitters since ancient times. They follow whoever is stronger and whoever offers more benefits. There is no such thing as benevolence and righteousness in their life creed. They are all dirty things. Your Highness, Prince Qi, please don't blame yourself too much." Li Guo advised Prince Qi.
"Alas! The black bees of the Liman tribe have ripped a huge hole in our defenses. Like a flood bursting through a dam, the defeated army has swept through the central camp. No one can stop them. The defeat is overwhelming! Am I doomed this time? And where is my brother Yu? Why hasn't he arrived with his army yet?"
Prince Qi felt very tired. Not everyone and everything were to his liking. He really wanted to hide behind others and be a rich prince.
Li Guo replied, "Please don't lose heart, Your Majesty. The number of soldiers who have fled outnumbers those who died in battle. If they are gathered together, they will still have some fighting power. As for His Royal Highness Prince Yu, I don't know where he is with his army. The last time I heard, he had already led his troops back to reinforce. If we hold on for a while longer, His Royal Highness Prince Yu might appear behind the Northern Barbarian army. Then, we can form a pincer attack from both sides and we will surely be able to turn defeat into victory."
"It's difficult! The Northern Barbarian Army has the black bee swarms of the Liman tribe. No matter how strong the fortress is, it will seem so powerless in front of the black bee swarms. There is one more thing, I have a bad premonition in my heart, and I'm not afraid of you spreading it, but I suspect that my brother Yu is killing someone with a borrowed knife." King Qi said hatefully.
Li Guo was stunned when he heard this.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, you must not speak carelessly. Your Highness Prince Yu is only one step away from ascending the throne. The court and all the princes have expressed their support. Great Yan is still his Great Yan. There is no need to use the swords of the Northern Barbarian Army to massacre his own people."
Although Li Guo knew that Prince Yu was cruel and ruthless, he was not such a villain. The soldiers and civilians who died were all his own people!
"Some things are not as simple as you think. My brother Prince Yu's mother... Oh! Forget it, I won't say anything." Prince Qi waved his hand as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
When Li Guo heard him talking about Prince Yu's mother, could it be that because his mother was persecuted to death, he wanted to take revenge?
These are all royal scandals, unknown to the outside world, and Li Guo doesn't know much either.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, we have already retreated a hundred miles, and the Northern Barbarian army is pressing forward step by step. Do we have to retreat again and again?" Li Guo asked.
"What can we do if we don't retreat? The Northern Barbarian cavalry is fierce. Our soldiers' legs tremble at the sight of the Northern Barbarian army. If we don't retreat, we will die. We must resist for as long as we can! I am waiting for my brother Yu's army and reinforcements from all over Da Yan to arrive."
King Qi was a wealthy prince who could build his fiefdom in an orderly manner, but he was not good at leading troops in battle.
As a military advisor, although Li Guo had the intention, he was powerless because King Qi had weak soldiers and generals and could not even launch a good defensive counterattack.
"How about we ask Lin Feng from the horse farm to fight?" Li Guo thought of Lin Feng who was hundreds of miles away.
Although Lin Feng's army is not large in number, with only tens of thousands of people, its combat power is strong. If it can have the help of such a powerful army, it will definitely be more powerful.
