Lin Ziran had always been confused by the infighting between the Jian family and the Cheng family before.

I always think that I need to take refuge with one of them in order to get some benefits.

But now Lin Ziran is coming back to his senses, don't look at the excitement of the Jian family and the Cheng family, but what is it about him Lin Ziran?

Didn't you see that the powerful generals like Feng Haozhong chose to stand aside and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

Why didn't they just step in?

As long as they are willing to intervene, it is enough to affect the situation, and it can even be said that the Jian family and the Cheng family can't fight, but why didn't they intervene?

It doesn't matter why, but they don't interfere, and he Lin Ziran won't interfere.

The life or death of the Jian family or the Cheng family has nothing to do with him Lin Ziran, and he does not belong to either of these two parties at all.

Although his Lin Ziran's strength is a little smaller, and the strength of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is a little weaker, he can't be on the stage in Luo'an County, but no matter what, he has an army of 2,000 in his hands, and he can be said to be a feudal town without being ashamed.

Even because of the particularity of Lin Ziran and the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, his independence surpassed that of Feng Haozhong, the real generals of the military.

Although Feng Haozhong and these people can control the troops, most of them are territories that they do not actually control, and their military expenses, even soldiers and weapons and equipment, need to rely on the supply of the entire system of Luo'an County.

But Lin Ziran's Qingshan Patrol Camp is not like this!

The Qingshan Patrol Battalion, which Lin Ziran relied on the Qingshan Petroleum Company, did not cost Luo'an County a dime.

When there is no dependence, then there are no scruples.

As long as Lin Ziran doesn't go too far and maintains a certain strength, then no matter which side of the Jian family or the Cheng family wins, he will not be treated with Lin Ziran in the end.

Independent strength, that's the point!

After figuring out this, Lin Ziran no longer had so many scruples.

What Cheng Hongbin's Sixth Brigade, what Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade to hell with them, Lao Tzu will occupy the surrounding territory first.

Anyway, there are no regular troops around, and some are just local militia groups like the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.

The local militia groups fought back and forth, and it is estimated that the big people above didn't care, and Lin Ziran didn't think about being a county guard or anything.

The county guard is sometimes just a false name, and the current county guard of Lianguan County is not an empty shelf.

He Lin Ziran is not a county guard, but as long as he actually controls these territories, it will be his Lin Ziran's words to rely on these territories to recruit troops and horses, just like what he is doing in Qingshan Town now.

Lord Cao Yuan, the town guard of Qingshan Town, is still staying in the town guard mansion in the town, but who has heard of him?

At this moment, our Lord Cao Yuan is sitting at the desk, holding a pen and writing at the desk, which has been under house arrest for half a year, and now he is dead, no longer thinking about turning the tables or the like, but putting his mind on literary and artistic creation, intoxicated with poetry and articles.

Not to mention, Lin Ziran has also read the article written, which is quite good.

Lin Ziran made a decision, ignoring the struggle between the Jian family and the Cheng family, but when he was ready to fish in troubled waters to grab the territory, he also acted quickly.

The first is to make a battle plan and see where to hit first, this, in fact, there is nothing to consider, the first choice must be Sanyo Town.

Although Sanyang Town is the west gate of Qingshan Town, it is also the most important, and even the only channel for Qingshan Town to connect with the outside world.

Whether it is the kerosene sales of the Qingshan Petroleum Company, or the various machinery and equipment purchased, or even the various ordnance and weapons of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, they are all transported through the port of Sanyo Ferry.

Therefore, taking Sanyang Town, especially Sanyang Ferry, is the highest priority goal.

Compared to Sanyang Town, the other surrounding towns are not so important, they are just ordinary towns.

In fact, there are not many regular troops stationed in Sanyang Town and even several surrounding towns, and even the entire Lianguan County, because the regular troops in Luo'an County are basically field armies, most of them are stationed on the front line, and the counties and towns in the rear are generally stationed by local militia groups, which are mainly responsible for suppressing the local area and eliminating bandits.

At the same time, although these local militia groups are all part of the Luo'an Army and are all under the orders of the Luo'an Army's top leaders, in fact, quite a few local militia groups belong to the local private army, just like the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.

The strength of these local militia groups is basically not good!

Therefore, from a military point of view, there is not much problem in controlling Sanyang Town and other surrounding towns, and even directly controlling the county seat of Lianguan County.

The real problem is not military, but something else.

For example, the reaction of the Cheng family and the Jian family, and the reaction of the third division of Chongguangcheng on the side, these are the key points.

Therefore, on the one hand, Lin Ziran began to make military preparations, and on the other hand, he first sent his henchmen and guards, and first sent a letter to Feng Haozhong, the commander of the Third Division, which did not say anything else, but only said that the bandits in Lianguan County have been serious recently, seriously threatening the safety of people's lives and property.

By the way, he also complained and asked Lord Feng for some weapons and ammunition.

But on the other hand, he also sent letters to Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin.

The content of the letters to the two people was similar, saying that the bandits were seriously troubled and that they were going to suppress the bandits.

These three letters, in fact, are almost the same, but the wording has changed slightly, and the person who received the letter naturally does not believe what Lin Ziran said in the letter to suppress bandits, it is nothing more than an excuse to want to be neutral and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

However, they didn't know that Lin Ziran was really going to send troops in the name of suppressing bandits, but the real purpose was not to be neutral, but to take the opportunity to grab territory.

The above three people who received the letter had mixed reactions.

Jian Liangzhi was only slightly disappointed after reading the letter: "It's a pity, the patrol battalion of 2,000 people, even if the combat strength is a little worse, can still consume the ammunition of the Sixth Brigade!" ”

After Feng Haozhong Zhongqing, a high-ranking big man, received Lin Ziran's letter, he casually threw the letter to his adjutant after reading it, and said at the same time: "This Lin Ziran is also a smart person, and he knows that this matter is not something he can get involved in!" ”

"In this case, you go and tell him, let him take a good look at the bandits."

"Besides, you test his tone again!"

The adjutant said, "How to tempt?" ”

Feng Haozhong pondered for a while, and then said, "Give him a number to supplement the brigade!" ”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said, "Obey orders!" ”

On the other side, Cheng Hongbin, who was leading the army back south, also saw Lin Ziran's letter, which made him frown after reading it.

"This little fox also wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
