Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 311 Enemies in the dark

After the Nanchuan Army gained a firm foothold in Nanchuan Province, Mucheng became the actual base camp of the Nanchuan Army, controlling Jiuyuan Province to the north and Nanchuan Province to the south, and Mucheng belonged to the command center.

As the Nanchuan Army's control area continues to expand outward, the territory and population continue to increase, and more and more towns are controlled. The original simple governance structure can no longer meet the needs. Therefore, after a series of rectification and expansion, the Nanchuan Army has now formed. Two sets of teams were established for the government affairs system and the military system, which were respectively in charge of the Chief Consul Caton and Marshal Lin Nuoyan.

Chief Consul Caton and Marshal Lin Nuoyan are in charge of government affairs and military affairs respectively, and they cooperate and complement each other, and the entire Nanchuan Army develops rapidly.

The city lord's mansion in the central square of Mucheng has been transformed into a government office. The civil service system led by Caton is here to work. Officials wearing black robes coming in and out make this place look extraordinarily busy.

The Nanchuan Army has developed rapidly, and many civil and military officials who joined the Nanchuan Army at the beginning are now in high positions, which is enviable.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the Zhao family. The Zhao family boarded the big ship of the Nanchuan Army. Not only Zhao Feng, an outstanding figure of the younger generation, served as the head of the Fourth Army, but also the old patriarch of the older generation who was more than seventy years old. Zhao Kuo also served as the governor of Mucheng. Besides, dozens of Zhao family members also held positions at various levels.

"Lord Zhao, someone is coming from your family, and they are waiting outside the government office." A Nanchuan official in black robe knocked on the office of Zhao Kuo, the consul of Mucheng, and reported respectfully.

Zhao Kuo is more than seventy years old, but he is full of energy and shows no signs of aging. He smiled and nodded: "I'm tired."

Zhao Kuo has always been known for his amiability and amiability in the government affairs office. Although the Zhao family is powerful now, it is rare for him to be so low-key, so Zhao Kuo is very popular in the government affairs office.

Zhao Kuo tidied up the documents in his hand, got up and walked out of the government office. Officials along the way greeted the kind consul one after another, and Zhao Kuo responded one by one with a smile.

"My lord, it's a great event—" Seeing Zhao Kuo walk out of the government office, the butler who had been waiting outside the mansion immediately greeted him, and he couldn't wait to speak.

Zhao Kuo still kept calm and calm: "Ah Fu, why do you like it?"

The butler, Ah Fu, leaned forward and whispered into Zhao Kuo's ear, "Lin Chuan was stabbed, and his life and death are unknown!"

"What! Is the news accurate?!" Zhao Kuo was startled when he heard the news, and asked hastily.

The housekeeper Fu replied excitedly: "The news is absolutely accurate. It is the news we arranged for officials in Qingmu River to bring back with ravens."

"Master, when Lin Chuan dies, we will have one less stumbling block." Ah Fu was very excited. As a caring person of the family head, he also knew the Zhao family's plan.

After Zhao Kuo heard Ah Fu's words, he was not at all happy, but his complexion became more and more gloomy.

His Zhao family wanted to take power in the Nanchuan Army, and arranged countless children to enter the government and the army. Lin Chuan, who was in charge of a heavy army, was extremely disgusted with the Zhao family's way of developing power, so there had always been conflicts between the two sides.

Not long ago, Lin Chuan thoroughly investigated the attack on the warehouse in Austin, and cleaned up the Three Banners regiment controlled by the Zhao family. Among them, Zhao He, a son of the Zhao family, was forced to be beheaded by Zhao Feng, the commander of the Fourth Army. Therefore, the entire Zhao family hated Lin Chuan to the bone, and the conflict between the two parties had reached an irreconcilable level.

The conflict between the Zhao family and Lin Chuan has turned from the dark to the clear. Even the consul Caton and the commander-in-chief Lin Nuoyan have heard about it. Now that Lin Chuan is assassinated, all the spearheads will be pointed at his Zhao family. All plans will come to nothing, Zhao Kuo is extremely angry.

"Let's go, go back." Zhao Kuo no longer has the mind to work. Lin Chuan's assassination made the Zhao family fall into a passive position. Even if Lin Nuoyan and Caton explained that the Zhao family did not do it, but they did not catch the murderer, all explanations are in vain. It is futile, the command department will lose trust in their Zhao family, thinking of this, Zhao Kuo is upset for a while, and Zhao Kuo, who has lost the initiative, feels very uncomfortable.

Just when the Zhao family held an emergency family consultation meeting because of Lin Chuan's assassination, the fast horse sent by Qing Muchuan had already arrived in Mucheng.

Knowing that Lin Chuan was assassinated and his life was in danger, the angry Marshal Lin Nuoyan overturned the table on the spot: "Investigate! Thoroughly investigate! No matter who it is, those involved will be killed without mercy!"

The Lin family was bloodbathed by soldiers sent by the royal family. Now only Lin Nuoyan and Lin Chuan are left in the huge Lin family. Lin Chuan Yongwu is regarded by Lin Nuoyan as the hope of the rise of the Lin family. Now that hope is shattered, how can we not make Lin Nuoyan angry.

"Send someone to ask Consul Zhao to come to my office." The first thing Chief Consul Caton thought of after hearing the news was the Zhao family who had a deep feud with Lin Chuan, so he wanted to ask in person whether it was the Zhao family who did it, and if so, Even if the Zhao family were his distant relatives, he decided to abandon the Zhao family, because no one could bear Lin Nuoyan's overwhelming anger.

The news of Lin Chuan's assassination spread to Mucheng, and the original peace of Mucheng was broken. Some people were worried and regretful, while others gloated. The Zhao family involved in the storm was even more anxious, discussing countermeasures.

The Great Physician Yunxu ran out of the south gate of Mucheng, escorted by a troop of cavalry, and galloped towards Nanchuan.

Just when Mucheng was in turmoil because of Lin Chuan's assassination, the Dynasty army camp far away in Luoshan Province also received news of Lin Chuan's assassination.

"Master Yifu, there is news from the dark hall that they have succeeded. The rebel general Lin Chuan has been assassinated by a poisonous dagger. The dark hall has already directed the spearhead to the Zhao family among the rebels. Presumably the rebels will break out Civil unrest, they had us ready to attack."

Haotian, the commander of the First Corps of the Central Army, felt extremely disappointed that this powerful opponent fell in such a way, and he even wanted to behead Lin Chuan himself.

"The dark hall finally didn't do anything stupid this time." Marshal Lan Yu of the Dynasty Army said happily: "Order, all the ministries will secretly go to the designated location, wait until the rebels break out, attack with all their strength, and wipe out all the rebels in one fell swoop!"

The troops led by Lin Chuanji have always been the mainstay of the Nanchuan Army. They have been fighting at the forefront of resisting the Dynasty Army. The rest of the rebel forces will be vulnerable.

Lin Chuan's assassination was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing storms on the surface of the lake. All forces took active actions, and a storm was brewing in the undercurrent.

"Who leaked the news! Strictly investigate! Strictly investigate!" Li Yunshan, chief of staff of the Qingmuchuan Linchuan Army Command, was furious.

It was originally agreed to block the news, block the news, but after only one night, even the refugees on the street knew that Lin Chuan was assassinated, and his life and death were unknown, and the entire Qingmu River became panic-stricken, and Lei Tian and his carpet search had not yet begun , he had to die young, because this would only exacerbate the panic in the city, and it would be fatal to Aokigawa.

Thinking of the reaction caused by the news spread to all parties, Li Yunshan felt deeply powerless for a while, and the storm was about to come, and he was now powerless to stop it.

"Master Chief of Staff, we found the murderer's body outside the city. This is the dagger we captured." An officer in charge of searching outside the city presented the dagger wrapped in a hundred cloths in front of Chief of Staff Li Yunshan.

"Zhao family!" Seeing the small characters engraved on the dagger, Li Yunshan, chief of staff, suddenly thought of something, and was furious.

"It turns out that the Zhao family gang sent people to assassinate the general, and I'm going to kill them!!" The grumpy Sixth Corps Commander Gang Yu pulled out his saber, and was about to rush out the door angrily.

"Come back!" Robben, the deputy head of the army, slammed the table and shouted: "Even if it is the Zhao family, you will only weaken the strength of our Nanchuan army if it is the Zhao family. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"Fuck your mother, let's make a long-term plan. The general is still lying down. His life and death are unknown. You won't have a backache when you stand up and talk. You will pay for your blood. I will go with you, Gang Yu!" chime in.

At this moment, the spearhead was directed at Zhao's family, and these generals who were angry with Lin Chuan's center were suddenly furious, and they wanted to go to Zhao's family to ask for an explanation.

"Until the general wakes up, no one is allowed to act rashly!" Chief of Staff Li Yunshan said after a moment of contemplation: "Anyone who acts without authorization and affects the morale of the army, General Liu, you are the chief judge of the army, you can directly arrest and lock them up during special times!"

"Your order!" Liu Zichen stood up and replied helplessly.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, don't be impulsive." Deputy Army Chief Robben also echoed.

Although Chief of Staff Li Yunshan forcibly suppressed the actions of the generals, he knew that with his ability he would not be able to suppress them for long, so he gave a grateful look to the military judge Liu Zichen who supported him.

"Tell our people, add a little more material, and detonate the anger of the soldiers. I need them to have civil strife, the more chaos the better." In an ordinary camp, a general wearing a general's uniform had a fierce face at the moment, kneeling at a The soldiers lying on the ground ordered.

"Obey the general—" The kneeling soldier quickly left the tent.

Just when the forces of all parties were about to make their debut, the gate of the basement of the military station was opened by several serious-faced Nanchuan soldiers, and the slave Xue Wen, who was in shackles, was taken out.
