Lin Ziran's fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the wooden chair, making a crisp thump with a clear rhythm.

He didn't answer Jian Liangzhi immediately, and Jian Liangzhi didn't worry, just sat aside and drank tea, and didn't mean to continue asking.

Because he also knows that Lin Ziran needs to think about the time now.

Lin Ziran was indeed thinking about gains and losses in his mind.

It is clear that the current situation in Roan County is already chaotic.

The War of the Three Counties is nothing, the key thing is that the Jian family took this opportunity to raise troops and try to overthrow Cheng Lingfeng's rule.

What is even more subtle is that it seems that the Jian family came out to fight against Cheng Lingfeng, but many powerful factions in Luo'an County invariably chose neutrality and waited and saw the development of the situation.

Feng Haozhong, the commander of the Third Division, is a typical representative of the neutral faction.

This person was Cheng Lingfeng's confidant general before, but even he chose neutrality, which shows that many military powerful generals in the Luo An army are extremely dissatisfied with Cheng Lingfeng.

Otherwise, there would be no so-called neutrality.

It is estimated that many people are happy to see the Jian family come out and kill Cheng Lingfeng.

For a military power-rich faction like Feng Haozhong, in fact, whether Cheng Lingfeng is the county guard or the Jian family is in power, it will not have much impact on his own power, because whether the Cheng family or the Jian family is in power, they have to win over and rely on them, the military power-doers.

Judging from the current situation, Cheng Lingfeng is going to be finished!

Without the support of the military's real power faction, if he is as strong as Cheng Lingfeng, he can only become an empty county guard!

However, whether the Jian family can successfully ascend to the throne has to be a question mark.

Although the Jian family is powerful and has enough prestige, there are many careerists, and there is definitely not only one Jian family.

Who dares to say that Feng Haozhong of Chongguangcheng has no ambitions?

Who would dare to say that several other powerful generals of the military stationed in the south or northwest, such as the southern or northwestern lines, have no ambitions?

Once they lead the main force of the military to move, whether they are on one side or another, it will have a significant impact on the situation.

If the Jian family can't properly handle the relationship with these powerful generals in the military, then the Jian family will become the next Cheng family.

In Lin Ziran's view, the current situation in Luo'an County is obviously time to change, and the Jian family will most likely replace the Cheng family and control Luo'an County, but judging from the neutral attitude of many powerful generals in the military.

However, he was not optimistic that the Jian family would be able to completely control the power of Luo'an County.

And when it comes to your own side, how to choose?

Lin Ziran's fingers continued to tap on the armrest, and the crisp knock sound continued to sound.

All kinds of possible changes are constantly being deduced in my mind.

If he falls to the Jian family, then he needs to cooperate with Jian Liangzhi's half of the temporary brigade to intercept the sixth brigade.

But will it be able to intercept it?

Lin Ziran can't guarantee this, the answer is that he knows that even if he can stop it, I'm afraid that he will have to go through a hard battle at that time, and it is very likely that he will suffer heavy casualties.

Once his own patrol battalion suffered heavy casualties, then for Lin Ziran and the Qingshan patrol battalion, the gains outweighed the losses.

If you can't hold it back, you will be killed by the Sixth Brigade and return to the county seat, and finally lead to the complete defeat of the Jian family, the Jian family will definitely be finished, and you will definitely be finished.

Because the Cheng family's revenge must be fierce and sharp.

The small Qingshan Patrol Battalion will definitely not be able to stop the Cheng family's revenge!

The Cheng family is not an official family like Luo Hai'an's family, they are a real feudal town, even if many people betray them, but with the background of the Cheng family, they can still pull out tens of thousands of horses at any time.

This is the risk of taking refuge in the Jane family!

And the advantage, this is naturally the position of the county guard of Lianguan County, with a territory of more than 2,000 square kilometers, and it may be used as a collateral force of the Jian family in the future to gain the support of the Jian family and further strengthen its own strength.

If you don't take refuge in the Jian family, then take refuge in the Cheng family?

He Lin Ziran actually has a good personal relationship with Cheng Hongbin, and Cheng Hongbin also came to woo him in person before, although the conditions offered are not taken into Lin Ziran's eyes, but if he talks to Cheng Hongbin again at a critical moment, it is estimated that the promises he can get will not be less.

In fact, the benefits that can be obtained by taking refuge in the Cheng family are similar to those of taking refuge in the Jian family.

Again, the risks are similar.

This is what makes Lin Ziran hesitate!

Faced with such a major choice, Lin Ziran did not give an answer at the first time, but told Jian Liangzhi that the stakes were very high, and he needed to think about it clearly.

Jian Liangzhi saw that he couldn't convince Lin Ziran at the first time, and gave another proposal, that is, he hoped that Lin Ziran could also remain neutral and not take refuge in the Cheng family.

Obviously, he also knew that Cheng Hongbin had come to Qingshan Town to woo Lin Ziran.

Jian Liangzhi said that if the Qingshan Garrison Battalion could stand still, then his Jian family would directly present a cashier's note of 10,000 Hengyuan, issued by the Nanzhou Bank, which had a reliable reputation, and would also give Lin Ziran at least one regiment of weapons and equipment afterwards.

Lin Ziran agreed to this.

Because even if Lin Ziran does not take refuge in the Jian family, it is impossible to take refuge in the Cheng family, and it is estimated that there is a high probability of neutrality in the end.

Because in Lin Ziran's view, it is a high probability that the Cheng family will be finished, and he will not take the initiative to jump on the broken ship of the Cheng family.

After Jian Liangzhi got his answer, he quickly left.

As for Lin Ziran, he continued to think about the current situation, he was still a little unsure, whether to help the Jian family or not, and then take down the position of the county guard of Lianguan County.

After thinking hard for a long time, Lin Ziran called Luo Mazi, Scar, Wu Dajiang and a few others over.

These people are his left arm and right arm, although their ability is a little worse, but they are all confidants, at this time, Lin Ziran can only find someone to discuss such confidential matters.

After listening to Lin Ziran's brief introduction, Luo Mazi took the lead in speaking: "Adult, according to the small one, it is the best choice to wait and see what happens!" ”

"Now the real power faction in the army has not moved one by one, who knows what will happen in the future, not to mention others, let's just say Feng Haozhong, once he favors either side in the follow-up, then it will have a huge impact."

"Our little arms and legs, mixed in in advance, this is the right station, it's fine, but if it's wrong......"

Luo Mazi didn't say the consequences, because needless to say, everyone knows it.

Wu Dajiang, an honest man on the side, also said: "If an adult can be a county guard, it will naturally be good, but who knows if he can become a county guard in the end?" ”

At this time, Scar said: "If you want me to say, they are a fart, why should they take refuge in them, just take advantage of their own internal fighting, we will directly send troops to occupy several surrounding towns." ”

When Scar said it, it seemed to be angry, but after Lin Ziran heard this, it was as if a door had been opened.

Oh, yes!

The Jian family and the Cheng family are competing for hegemony and have their own, why should they get involved in it, it is better to take advantage of the chaos of the situation to occupy the surrounding territory.

In this kind of troubled times, it is the last word to occupy the territory and recruit troops, and the others are bastards.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziran suddenly stood up: "It's done, immediately formulate a battle plan, gather the troops, and Lao Tzu will take you to fight the turf." ”
