Chapter 271 Black Eagle Village’s Provocation
On that sunny day, the sun shone through the gaps in the forest and sprinkled on the ground, forming patches of light. Feng Yunshan led the team and walked on the winding mountain path with hope. Their goal was to negotiate peace with the leader of the Black Eagle Village, the guy who called himself "Black Eagle", hoping to reach a consensus and jointly resist foreign enemies. However, the development of things was far beyond their expectations, and an unexpected conflict was about to take place.
When Feng Yunshan and his party arrived at the Black Eagle Village, they saw that the gate of the Black Eagle Village was tightly closed, as if showing them a disdainful attitude. Black Eagle stood on the tower, looking down at them with a contemptuous smile on his face. He shouted loudly: "Who do you think you are! Everyone knows that your so-called rebel army has been wiped out by the soldiers! Now you are using the rebel army to scare me! I heard that the leader named Lin Kunlun had his head chopped off!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Yunshan and his group were immediately shocked. They didn't expect Black Hawk to be so arrogant and not take them seriously at all. What made them even more angry was that Black Hawk actually claimed that the 100-li area around Black Hawk Village was his territory, and if they wanted to pass through in the future, they had to pay % of the protection fee. Otherwise, they would never be able to leave this forest alive.
Faced with such a provocation, Feng Yunshan knew that it was impossible to defeat the Black Eagle Village with the dozens of men under his command. He had to bring people back for help. After returning to the camp, he told Lin Kunlun and others everything that had happened.
After listening to Lin Kunlun, Tie Feng could no longer hold back his anger before he could even speak. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "This is ridiculous! It's like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog! We once fought against tens of thousands of soldiers! Now, a bandit stronghold of just a few hundred people dares to surpass us?"
When everyone heard the news, they gathered around and talked about it. For a moment, the crowd was excited and everyone advocated sending troops to attack the Black Eagle Village. They believed that if they appeared weak and could be bullied, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the nearby counties in the future. Moreover, although Black Eagle had two or three hundred people under his command, if they could contact other bandit forces, even if they gathered together, they would be just a mob. Just send three hundred cavalry to charge and they would be defeated.
Tie Feng was even more furious. He walked up to Lin Kunlun and questioned him with a sharp gaze, "Marshal Lin, why don't you give the order? Are you afraid of even these petty thieves? Let me go! I will definitely kill them all! Let them see how powerful our rebel army is!"
At this time, Lin Kunlun was sitting on a stone nearby, frowning, as if in deep thought. Facing Tie Feng's question, he did not answer immediately. He knew the importance of this battle and had to be extremely cautious.
Seeing that Lin Kunlun was slow to give orders, Tie Feng seemed a little anxious. He continued, "Lin Shuai! What are you still hesitating about? We have wiped out countless bandits at the border, but we have never seen such arrogant ones! These guys are simply courting death!"
The soldiers around him also echoed Tie Feng's words. They were ready to attack the Black Eagle Village at any time. Everyone's face was full of determination. They wanted to let those bandits know that the rebels were not to be trifled with!
In this tense atmosphere, Lin Kunlun cast his eyes on Mu Feng. He found that Mu Feng was the only one who did not speak in the whole audience. Lin Kunlun knew in his heart that Mu Feng did not agree to use troops against the Black Eagle Village. After all, Zhou Kai's army was now in Daxiguan, and Mu Feng's consideration was based on the overall situation.
Lin Kunlun stood up calmly and said to everyone confidently, "Don't worry, violence is not a good idea." His voice was steady and powerful, as if it had a calming power. "I heard that Zhou Kai has returned to Daxiguan and may attack us at any time. We can't fight the soldiers and the bandits at the same time." He glanced at the people present and continued, "I have another way to deal with Black Hawk. I will definitely ask him to return the things he intercepted and apologize to us. I will handle it!"
After saying this, he walked up to Tiefeng, patted Tiefeng on the shoulder and said, "I'm not afraid of Black Hawk. Let's use civil methods to fight him. If that doesn't work, we can use military methods after we beat the soldiers back. By then, you will be the commander-in-chief to defeat him!" His words were full of trust and expectations for Tiefeng.
Finally, Lin Kunlun laughed loudly, causing everyone to laugh along. His smile revealed a calmness and confidence, as if he already had a way to deal with everything. At this moment, he became the backbone of everyone present, and his words and actions brought great confidence and strength to everyone.
As we all know, the biggest threat we are facing right now is the officers and soldiers. Lin Kunlun has made some arrangements. After hearing this, everyone left one after another. Only Mu Feng was left. After spending some time together, Lin Kunlun knew that Mu Feng was the most thoughtful among all the generals.
"General Mu! What do you think we should do next?" Lin Kunlun asked.
Compared with generals like Tie Feng, Mu Feng is more stable.
"I also don't agree with going to war. We should focus on fighting the government troops and not be distracted at this time. Besides, we don't have any deep hatred with the local mountain strongholds. On the contrary, the arrival of the government troops will arouse their hatred of the common enemy. We don't need to cause a conflict at this time. It won't be too late to discuss this matter after dealing with Zhou Kai's troops."
Lin Kunlun agreed with his point of view. In his team, there were no scholars. After all, those scholars all had family backgrounds. Even if no one in their family was an official, they were still wealthy and would not easily join them. Mu Feng was the only person who could conspire with him at present.
"That makes sense. I think you should go on my behalf. You need to try to meet Black Hawk and let him know that our main force is still there and we are about to make a comeback. We are all oppressed by the court and have no way out. We should work together to fight against Zhou Kai's army. This will also benefit them. If we lose to Zhou Kai, he will not let go of these small strongholds."
Mu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "At present, with our arrival, I'm afraid the local forces are worried that we will annex them. Black Hawk may also have this concern. This time they robbed our food, it was just a test. If we attack them, I'm afraid other strongholds will unite to fight against us."
Lin Kunlun nodded to show his understanding: "This is exactly the problem. The people in these mountain strongholds are naturally afraid that we will annex them. Your task is to explain the truth to them: we will not stay here for long, and we have never coveted their little profits. As long as they are willing to coexist peacefully with us, we can still lend a helping hand if the government troops besiege them."
