One hundred miles north of the city lies the Capital Garrison. It is home to thirty thousand troops, the most elite cavalry of the Wu Kingdom. The Capital Garrison is situated just north of the Wu Kingdom's capital, with open terrain to the south and towering mountains to the north. A wide river flows to the south, providing ample water supply for the camp and forming a natural barrier.
To the east, there is a dense forest rich in timber resources, facilitating the construction of camps and the forging of weapons. This garrison holds immense significance for the Wu Kingdom. It serves as a solid shield for the northern front, defending against invasions from the Yanmu Tribe. Should any disturbances arise at the border, these thirty thousand elite cavalry can swiftly mobilize, leveraging their superior mobility to reach the site of conflict in time to protect their homeland.
Additionally, it acts as a strategic buffer zone for the capital; when enemy forces approach from the south, the troops stationed at the Capital Garrison can effectively engage them, buying precious time for defenses to be established in the capital. Moreover, this location is responsible for training new recruits, continuously supplying fresh blood to the Wu Kingdom Army and maintaining its military strength.
Lin Feng rode ahead with his personal guards like a sudden storm. Their steeds galloped fiercely, kicking up clouds of dust as if they were about to tear apart the earth itself. In no time, they would reach that imposing garrison.
The commanding general stationed at this garrison is Si Tu Xuan, a veteran whose exploits have been renowned since the reign of Xian Di. For Lin Feng, who has just arrived, this Old General was merely a name he had yet to become familiar with. However, Lu Yong beside him had long heard of Si Tu Xuan and held him in great esteem.
Recalling past events during Xian Di's rule, Lu Yong remembered how Jing Kingdom had once aggressively marched southward, easily breaking through the seemingly impenetrable Tongguan defenses and advancing towards Wu City. The forces of Jing Kingdom surrounded Wu City and relentlessly attacked for several days but failed to breach its walls.
In that critical moment, Si Tu Xuan, stationed far away in Liangzhou, received word of this crisis and decisively led eighty thousand troops to the front lines. After a fierce battle lasting half a day, Si Tu Xuan's forces successfully repelled the invading army from Jing Kingdom, alleviating the grave threat facing Wu City.
Following this victory, Xian Di recognized Si Tu Xuan's loyalty and valor and specifically assigned him to remain stationed there long-term. This ensured that should any conflict arise at Tongguan again, reinforcements could be dispatched quickly; likewise, if Wu City faced another assault, Si Tu Xuan could rush to its aid without delay.
Due to Si Tu Xuan's timely rescue of Xian Di from peril, both Xian Di and the current Emperor Lin Zhen placed their utmost trust in him, entrusting him with significant responsibilities.
As Lin Feng stepped into the Capital Garrison, the morning light cascaded over the tents, marking the second day since his arrival. A soldier hurriedly approached, kneeling on one knee to report, "General, the Zhengbei General has arrived and is currently waiting outside the main camp."
Upon hearing this news, the general seated in the tent displayed a look of delight and quickly said, "Quickly invite him in! There must be no delay."
Lin Feng strode confidently into the main camp. His gaze swept across the scene, where he saw Si Tu Xuan clad in brilliant armor, flanked by a group of imposing subordinate generals who were hastening to greet him.
Seeing this sight, Lin Feng smiled slightly and reached into his robe to retrieve a roll of yellow imperial edict. He unfurled the edict and proclaimed loudly, "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I hereby appoint Lin Feng as the Zhengbei General, commanding five thousand elite Cavalry. You are to set forth immediately to Jing Kingdom. Thus it is decreed!"
As his voice fell, Lin Feng held the edict aloft, presenting it forward.
