Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 405 Provoking the Jin Soldiers

Gu Fengyue kept in mind the principle of maiming rather than killing the enemy, and when he saw that the time was almost right, he signaled everyone to retreat. The Jin soldiers over there had suffered heavy casualties, and for a while they were unable to organize an effective pursuit, and could only watch the enemy slip away right under their noses.

While the Jin people were busy cleaning up the mess, the Gu family army began to set up camp and build a military camp not far from their camp, next to the Turkic tribe.

"This is too much! What on earth do these Han dogs want to do? And those Turks, are they just going to watch the Han people settle down next door?"

"Don't make a noise. Although they are cunning, they are not brainless. Who knows, they may really be reinforcements sent by the Turks."

"It's not like all the Turks are dead. Do we need to ask the Han people for help?"

The Jin soldiers were silent, thinking that this might be true. The last time they united to attack the city of Dajing, not only did they fail to take the city, they also lost a lot of people, including the best warriors of their young generation. This happened not long ago, so the Jin people naturally heard about it.

To be precise, if they hadn't fanned the flames behind the scenes, these idiots would not have really provoked Linyuan City of Dajing, which was the city with the largest number of troops in Dajing. Originally, they planned to let both sides suffer losses so that they could pick up the slack later. Who knew that the people of Dajing actually drove away many grassland tribes, and it was said that they had the upper hand. Fortunately, it did not affect the final result. At least the grassland must have suffered heavy losses.

But who could tell them why the two groups that had just fought were now stationed opposite them, and why the two former enemies were now joining forces to fight them?

Is there any justice in this world?

"Look at their posture, are they planning to fight us to the death?"

"...I clearly felt that Dajing's army could destroy our military camp, but why didn't they do it in the end?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the Dajing people would do this. If they were going to fight a war, why didn't they solve the problem all at once, but instead stayed and fought a protracted war with them.

"Tsk, the Han people are really unpredictable."

"Bah, they are clearly the treacherous and cunning Han people. They might have bad intentions when they do this. They are definitely not good people."

In the camp of the Gu family army, which was not a good thing, Gu Fengyue pulled together several deputy generals who had not had time to rest and catch their breath, and held a small meeting. He learned from the deputy generals that the court had reached an agreement with all the grassland tribes, which was to drive the Jin people away first, and the rest would be easy to deal with.

"What do they mean by easy to say?"

"Submission is impossible, but tribute can be discussed. The emperor has already made the final decision on the border trade market. Even if they want to object, they have to consider the weight of the Jin people."

Gu Fengyue was speechless: "Since they are unwilling to submit to my Dajing, then what is the point of paying tribute? Doesn't this mean that they can regret it at any time?"

"They dare!" Song Chunlin clenched his fists. "If they dare to go back on their word, I will beat them so hard that their parents won't recognize them anymore."

This statement was really too violent, but everyone basically thought so. If they dared to go back on their word, they would just fight. Now that they had new firearms, why should they be afraid of the barbarians?

"No matter if they regret it or not, we should take this opportunity to give these barbarians a good beating. Let's practice with these golden men."

With Gu Fengyue's words, in the following days, the Gu family army went to provoke the Jin army camp every few days. At first, the Jin soldiers would be fooled, but after being chopped twice by the Gu family army, they became completely obedient. From then on, no matter how the Gu family army provoked them, they would not come out and tried their best to be cowards to save their lives.

More than half a month passed quickly like this. The temperature on the grassland was getting lower and lower. The Quemeng Mountains were further to the north and the temperature was even lower. The Jin people came out this time to take advantage of the situation, but who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and they were trapped by Da Jingren. They couldn't win the fight, but they were unwilling to leave, and the stalemate continued until this day, when the general leading their troops finally woke up from a long coma.

Song Chunlin was not surprised when he realized that the other party had woken up. This man was worthy of being the leader of the Jin soldiers. His willpower was incredibly strong, and his body was able to repair the damage to his spiritual sea unconsciously. Although this repair ability was insignificant compared to the damage to him, it was precisely this insignificant repair that allowed his consciousness to break free from the shackles of the spiritual sea and wake up again.

"Is this person a threat to you?"

Gu Fengyue shook his head: "If he was in his prime, I'm afraid I wouldn't be his opponent, but now he should be seriously injured. In this weak state, I can give it my all."

What this means is that even though he is in a very low health state now, Gu Fengyue can still defeat him.

That was a very high evaluation. Song Chunlin touched his chin, wondering whether he should give this man some more information. The next moment, Gu Fengyue spoke up to remind him not to let this man faint again.

"why?"

Gu Fengyue smiled and reminded him: "Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?"

Song Chunlin blinked his eyes, thought carefully, and immediately understood.

"Oh, oh, that's right. We need to delay the process, and you are really good at it. Hehe, then let's keep him awake and ignore the others."

"Well, don't worry about those people."
