When Lin Ziran was tossing and expanding the army, news finally came from the county town, according to unclear information, a large-scale decisive battle was fought between the descendants of the Cheng family and the descendants of the Jian family outside the county city.

A total of more than 30,000 troops were invested in both heads.

During the battle, Lin Ziran didn't get the news, but he got the news in the end.

The troops of the Jian family defeated the troops of the Cheng family and entered the county seat.

But although Cheng Lingfeng was defeated, he still fled south with thousands of remnants of his lineage.

Entered the Jianming Gang of the county seat, and on the same day, he couldn't wait to be the new county guard of Luo'an County.

The Jian family worked hard, and they didn't know how long they had been quietly preparing, and even let many powerful factions in the military maintain neutrality, and finally succeeded in seizing the power of Luo'an County.

Cheng Lingfeng's failure, in fact, many people have long expected it.

Jian Minggang wanted to rebel, and several powerful generals in the army unanimously maintained neutrality, whether it was Feng Haozhong, the third division stationed in Chongguangcheng, the northern defense line, Li Dingjun, the second division stationed in Dingjiang Fortress, the southern defense line, or Zhao Song, the fourth division stationed in the northwest defense line.

The Luo An Army has a total of five main divisions, the first division is Cheng Lingfeng's direct troops, stationed in the county and the surrounding areas for a long time, although it is the main division, but in fact it has not experienced war for a long time, the battle is not as good as the border troops, and the first division is also seriously infiltrated by all forces.

The Fifth Division was originally stationed in the northern and western defense lines, and the situation of this division was even more complicated, the division commander Xia Hongxing was a diehard loyalist of Cheng Lingfeng, but the following brigade commanders belonged to various factions, and the 17th Brigade was directly controlled by the Jian family.

The Jian family killed Xia Hongxing at the beginning of the incident, and then Jian Minggang personally came forward and incorporated the 18th Brigade, as for the 16th Brigade and another independent regiment, the 16th Brigade went directly to the Northwest Front to defect to Zhao Song of the Fourth Division, and the independent regiment ran to Chongguangcheng to defect to Feng Haozhong.

Jian Minggang took the 17th and 18th brigades directly back to the county town, and along the way incorporated many local militia groups that they controlled, recruited many new soldiers, and gathered 17,800 people to fight with the first division led by Cheng Lingfeng himself outside the county town.

The second brigade of the follow-up first division directly betrayed Cheng Lingfeng and took refuge in Jian Minggang.

Judging from the situation of the five main divisions in the Luo'an Army, Cheng Lingfeng, the commander of Tangtang County, only controlled the three brigades of the First Division, the First Brigade, the Third Brigade and the Sixth Brigade.

The number of descendants under his control is not as large as that of the Jian family!

What's more, the other troops basically watched the play, saying that they were watching the play, but in fact, it was tantamount to acquiescing to the Jian family killing the Cheng family.

Otherwise, if any of the other troops sent troops to help Cheng Lingfeng, the Jian family would be finished.

But they didn't!

Cheng Lingfeng ran away with the descendants of the last thousands of people, and Jian Minggang naturally became the new county guard of Luo'an County.

But will Jian Minggang be able to control the other troops?

Cheng Lingfeng couldn't do it if he was so strong before, can Jian Minggang do it?

Feng Haozhong, Zhao Song, and Li Dingjun, the three powerful generals of the military, are not so easy to dismiss.

The situation in Luo'an County is so complicated that it is difficult for Lin Ziran to see through.

Even he didn't know how the follow-up Jane family would treat him, whether to win over or suppress him?

Lin Ziran didn't know how the Jian family's side would react, but he quickly knew Feng Haozhong's reaction.

On the third day when Lin Ziran received the news that Cheng Lingfeng's troops were defeated and fled and Jian Minggang entered the county town, Jiang Xiaqing arrived in Qingshan Town to meet Lin Ziran.

Jiang Xiaqing, he is not just Feng Haozhong's adjutant, because everyone knows that he is Feng Haozhong's number one confidant.

The last time Feng Haozhong wooed Lin Ziran, it was he who came forward.

For this person, Lin Ziran naturally did not have any contempt, and after seeing this person, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Jiang, it's been a long time, how are you doing this time?" ”

Jiang Xiaqing was also smiling: "What's the matter, I've been busy lately, and I have a lot of worries, how can you be at ease with Brigade Commander Lin!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "It's free there, you don't work hard, you toss blindly every day!" ”

"It's noon, I've already asked people to prepare food and drinks, let's go, let's talk while eating!"

Jiang Xia Qing said: "It's okay!" ”

After entering the main hall, the two sat down separately, Lin Ziran did not let others accompany him, and Jiang Xiaqing did not bring a few of his entourage officers with him.

Not even the maids who were waiting.

Lin Ziran and Jiang Xiaqing sat down together, Lin Ziran picked up the chopsticks, and said at the same time: "Brother Jiang, please!" ”

Jiang Xiaqing was not polite, he spoke directly, he was in a hurry, and he hadn't eaten much along the way.

After eating half full, Jiang Xiaqing opened his mouth and said: "Brigade Commander Lin, you have been making a lot of moves recently, and you are directly in control of the five towns of Lianguan, so you are not afraid that the county town will have opinions?" ”

Lin Ziran pretended to be puzzled: "What controls the five towns, why don't I know?" ”

Jiang Xia said secretly, what kind of stupidity are you pretending!

Then he said: "Lord Lin, you have continuously dispatched a large army for a period of time, and you have directly controlled the five towns of Lianguan, although you have the name of suppressing bandits, the militia groups in each town are still there!" ”

"But who doesn't know that those militia groups are your Brigade Commander Lin's men!"

Jiang Xiaqing said directly, and Lin Ziran smiled.

What if you know?

Seeing that Lin Ziran was just smiling and didn't speak, Jiang Xiaqing continued: "Aren't you worried about the reaction of the county town, Brigade Commander Lin?" ”

Lin Ziran said at this time: "What about worrying? What if you don't worry? Don't talk about my side, aren't you worried, this time the Cheng family and the Jian family's affairs have a lot of impact, now that the Jian family is in power, how will you get along with the Jian family in the future? ”

Jiang Xiaqing listened, pondered for a while, and then said: "It's difficult, even more difficult than the Cheng family before!" ”

I only heard him continue: "I believe Brigade Commander Lin, you can also see that in fact, whether it is the Cheng family before or the current Jian family, they can't completely control the situation. ”

"In the past, in our Luo'an army, it was many parties who contained and cooperated with each other, which maintained the situation."

"But this time, the Jian family broke the balance and directly set off an infighting!"

"Since the Jian family dares to break the balance, they will definitely not be willing to be entrenched only in the county town in the future, and they will definitely find a way to absorb our border troops and even your supplementary brigade, otherwise they will not be able to sleep well!"

The Jian family dared to raise troops, who dared to guarantee that other generals would not follow suit and rebel?

Hearing these words, Lin Ziran smiled and said, "These, haven't you thought of them before?" Before you decided not to interfere with the Jian family's army, you should have been able to guess this kind of thing, right? ”

Feng Haozhong couldn't just worry about it now, and only then consider this situation.

Because none of them are stupid!

Jiang Xia Qing said: "This is naturally considered, and this is also the reason why I came to you!" ”
