Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 167 Chief of Staff

With a puff, the rope tied to Yingtan's body was cut off by Sith, and Yingtan screamed and fainted, and the big tent was filled with a smell of urine.

Sith put the knife back into the scabbard, saw the eagle fainted from fright, and shrugged helplessly. He didn't expect the majestic general of the dynasty to be so soft.

As Yingtan's former colleague, seeing Yingtan's wimpy appearance, Li Yunshan, the chief of staff, turned his head away with a dull face.

The generals of the Nanchuan Army in the military tent all showed disdain, some folded their arms and watched the jokes, some pointed at the fainted Yingtan and showed sneer.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Wake him up."

Tu Yue grabbed the unfinished wine on the table beside her and sighed secretly, it's a pity, and splashed it directly on Yingtan's face.

The ice-cold drink stirred, and Yingtan woke up. He pinched himself vigorously, and found that he was not dead. He immediately wanted to yell happily, but when he saw Tu Yue's face, which looked uglier when he smiled than when he cried, he immediately He was so scared that he sat on the ground again.

Lin Chuan waved his hand and ordered: "Release General Yingtan, we have occupied the Heishan Iron Mine, there is no need to kill their generals anymore."

When Xiao Zhan heard that Lin Chuan was going to release Yingtan, he hurriedly stood up to dissuade him: "General, think twice, this guy is the general of the dynasty, what if we let him lead the troops to attack us?"

Ye Fei also echoed and said: "General, you can't let it go. This is letting the tiger go back to the mountain and there will be endless troubles."

Facing the dissuasion of the generals, Lin Chuan did not rush to explain, but let Thunderstorm take Yingtan out and let him go.

Seeing Lin Chuan's actions, Li Yunshan, the staff member, also showed a puzzled expression. It stands to reason that he caught the local general. .

"Do you not understand why I let him go?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile when Yingtan was taken out.

Tu Yue said dissatisfiedly: "General, my old Tu doesn't understand, I can't figure it out."

Although the rest of the generals didn't speak, it could be seen from their expressions that they couldn't figure it out either.

Lin Chuan laughed out loud, making the generals baffled.

"You guys know how to take advantage, but you don't know that there is a price to pay for taking advantage. How can it be so easy to lose pie in the sky."

"Think about it, we have occupied the Heishan Iron Mine Area, the Governor of Jiuyuan Province, Najialuo, must not dare to report to Wang Jing, right?"

Everyone nodded. If he reported his position as governor, he would lose his position. That's why they came out in a hurry, hoping to regain it in a short time.

"That's right. We have already occupied the Black Mountain Iron Mine. If we kill their general again, do you think the Governor of Jiuyuan Province will still be able to cover things up?"

Lin Chuan continued: "We can't hide it for sure. We wiped out the dynasty soldiers, and he will be able to recruit again soon, but this Yingtan is a major general appointed by Wang Jing himself. If it is gone, it will be gone."

Tu Yue was puzzled: "But we can't let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Lin Chuan sneered: "You silly bear, do you know what a tiger is? This Yingtan is at most a vicious dog, or a vicious dog that pissed his pants. What are you afraid of? Even if he brings troops to attack again, we will defeat him Twice, can't you beat him for the third time?"

Hearing Lin Chuan's analysis, even Li Yunshan, who was on the opposite side, couldn't help nodding. In fact, it was exactly like Lin Chuan's analysis.

If Yingtan is killed, it may cause Wang Jing to use troops against Mucheng again on a large scale, and the short-term peace will be broken again, but if you don't kill it, it seems that there is no loss if you put it back. I can't afford any big waves.

"General, according to what you say, do you want to let the old man go?" Tu Yue pointed at Li Yunshan and asked.

When Li Yunshan heard Tu Yue calling him an old man, he immediately gave Tu Yue a dissatisfied look, what kind of old man, he is only 40 years old, okay?
Lin Chuan did not answer Tu Yue's question because he felt it was still too early.

Lin Chuan waved his hands and said to the generals: "Go to work, I want to talk to this gentleman alone."

Everyone filed out, only Lin Chuan and Li Yunshan were left in the big tent.

The charcoal fire was re-ignited, and the inside of the big tent was as warm as spring. Lin Chuan poured himself a glass of wine, poured himself a drink, and looked at Li Yunshan who was sitting there from time to time.

Li Yunshan is able to be the Chief of Staff of the Governor's Mansion of Jiuyuan Province, and his ability is naturally not weak. Lin Chuan has discovered through the interrogation of Yingtan that Li Yunshan does not seem to be so loyal to the Dynasty Army. In other words, he does not seem to care about the Dynasty Army. He won't win or lose, and he doesn't care about his own safety.

After observing for a long time, Lin Chuan asked with a smile: "Should I call you Your Excellency Chief of Staff or Mr. Li Yunshan?"

Li Yunshan smiled slightly, and asked back, "Your Excellency, are you trying to convince me to join you?"

Lin Chuan smiled. Before he could speak, Li Yunshan brought it up by himself, "Why did you say that, sir?"

"I think it's strange that the general has a strong army but no staff."

Lin Chuan sighed: "Don't be afraid of sir's jokes. We are called rebels. Naturally, no scholars dare to join us. Therefore, the post of aide has been vacant, but I don't know if sir is willing."

Li Yunshan laughed: "Your Excellency, you are not afraid that I am a spy of the dynasty?"

Lin Chuan also stood up with a smile: "Mr. Li, I, Lin Chuan, have no doubts about employing people, but not doubtful ones."

"As long as the sir is loyal to me and assists me, if you have any request, feel free to ask."

Lin Chuan is also in a hurry to go to the doctor now. The Nanchuan Army lacks staff, and there is not even a single person who advises on various military decisions. There are many generals under his command, but they are good at fighting, but they can't read a few big characters.

Seeing that Li Yunshan didn't seem to be dealing with Wang Chaojun that much, so Lin Chuan started to win him over, but he didn't expect that Li Yunshan didn't directly refuse.

Faced with Lin Chuan's invitation, Li Yunshan did not immediately agree, but asked a question: "Yunshan has a question here, and I ask the general to answer it."

Lin Chuan returned to his seat and sat down: "Sir, please tell me."

"Why don't you let the good people do it, and insist on rebelling and becoming a rebel?"

Hearing this, Lin Chuan burst out laughing.

"Why is the general laughing?"

"It's not that we don't want to be common people, but that the dynasty doesn't give us a way out, so we have to fight desperately."

"The Dynasty has been sending out food and relief, and it's not that it hasn't made efforts."

Lin Chuan asked: "Sir, have you ever seen people cannibalize?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, expressing disbelief.

Lin Chuan continued: "I've seen it before. After three years of severe drought, we have never seen a grain of relief food from the dynasty. Instead, we saw more and more refugees, and eventually people cannibalized. Do you know this is why?"

"Because this is a cannibalistic society. The dynasty is controlled by the nobles, corrupt officials are rampant, the land of the common people is annexed by the nobles at low prices, and countless people are displaced. The common people cannot survive and can only rebel."

"As the chief of staff, Mr. Li has worked in the Governor's Mansion for many years. I think you know many things better than me."

Li Yunshan retorted: "There are indeed many problems in the dynasty now, but you rebelled and caused wars, didn't you make more people displaced?"

Lin Chuan stretched out his finger and shook it: "You are wrong again, Mr. Li, we are just fighting for the poor. You can go and see in the area controlled by our Nanchuan Army. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone has food to eat. Everyone has clothes to wear and enjoys themselves in harmony, which is much better than ruling by a dynasty."

In the cold winter of [-], Lin Chuan and Li Yunshan talked late into the night. No one knew what they talked about, but Lin Chuan announced a shocking order the next day, that is, Li Yunshan was released from captives immediately. Become the Chief of Staff of the Corps.

Until many years later, Xiao Zhan, who has become a first-rank military lord of the empire, still marvels when he mentions this matter, feeling that it is by no means a fluke that the lord can become a generation of Mingjun.
