Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 482 Rumors Are Flying

Lin Chuan led the brave Zhenxi Army troops into the province of Leo, and immediately made the Southern Army feel like an enemy. Although the Southern Army was weak, they still dispatched twelve infantry battalions to the front line, trying to prevent the Zhenxi Army from entering them defense zone.

On the night when Linchuan's troops arrived in Torre Town, Leo Province, the Southern Army sent people to warn the Western Army in Linchuan Township: leave their defense area within two days, or you will bear the consequences.

Faced with the hostile and threatening behavior of the Southern Army, the generals of the Zhenxi Army immediately exploded. Their Zhenxi Army has always been arrogant, and this time they were ordered to go south. The Southern Army was so rude. Shut them out, threaten them.

"My lord, the Southern Army is too arrogant and doesn't take us seriously at all. We must teach them a lesson!"

Hei Diao, the general of the Zhenxi Army, has a bad temper. He always likes to speak with his fists, and he is the first to express his dissatisfaction.

"General, the southern army sheltered the nobles who fled south. In my opinion, they also joined forces with the rebels. They are the same breed. Why don't we suppress them together, hehe."

Hearing the supervisor Liu Zichen's words, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a chill down his back. This Liu Zichen couldn't stop copying his house, and even the Southern Army made plans.

The rest of the inspectors all echoed: "The Southern Army is very rich. Looking at their armor and weapons from a distance today, they are excellent. It is a waste to put them in their hands."

Hearing that the inspectors wanted to annihilate the Southern Army and divide up their wealth, the generals of the Zhenxi Army also laughed cheerfully, thinking in their hearts that they could make another windfall.

As the Supervisory Office and the Zhenxi Army went south together, countless nobles were wiped out along the way, the money and food seized piled up like mountains, and the pockets of every soldier were bulging, so now the soldiers have fallen in love with this kind of life .

Now they wished that the Southern Army would go to war with them. Given the strength of the Southern Army, they were no match for them at all. Thinking of defeating the Southern Army and gaining a lot of money, these generals and officials burst into smiles.

Why didn't Lin Chuan want to deal with the southern army decisively and violently, but it was easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild. The importance of the southern region is self-evident. It is impossible for him and the Zhenxi army to stay in the south forever.

If the southern army is really wiped out, it will cost a lot of money and food to rebuild a new army, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive. Whether it will be able to safely defend the southern region in the future is another matter.

Therefore, Emperor Long Han's will for Lin Chuan is to let Lin Chuan reform the southern army, abolish the old and weak, recruit young and strong, train the southern army to become an elite division, and forever defend the southern border.

Even if Lin Chuan wants to destroy the Southern Army, he has to consider the pressure of public opinion. After all, the Southern Army belongs to the battle order of the Far East Dynasty and belongs to the regular army. If he destroys them for no reason, although it is easy, But it will also appear to be too domineering and arrogant.

You must know that although the Southern Army now keeps the Zhenxi Army out of their defense area and warns the Zhenxi Army not to move forward, they are completely holding the idea of ​​protecting the environment and the people, because now rumors are flying all over the sky, saying that the Zhenxi Army is a cold-blooded army Bloodthirsty troops, they are also afraid of disastrous consequences if the Zhenxi Army is put into the defense zone.

There was a buzzing sound in the military tent, both the inspector and the generals of the Zhenxi Army were full of excitement, and they even started talking about dividing up the property of the Southern Army.

Seeing such a group of guys under his command who regard money as life, Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly with a smile, why did he bring out such a group of people, why did he always want to rob the house?
"Be quiet, be quiet." Lin Chuan tapped his fingers on the table and made a sound.

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the people who were discussing fiercely shut their mouths immediately, and the military tent suddenly became quiet.

"After all, the southern army belongs to the battle order of the dynasty, you should put away your little thoughts."

"General General (Chief General)" Hearing Lin Chuan's words, everyone immediately agreed, but the disappointment on their faces was undoubtedly revealed.

Lin Chuan had a panoramic view of their expressions and smiled: "The southern army is not allowed to move, but there are still a large number of oppressive and kind-hearted nobles living in the three provinces under their control. We should follow the old method and carefully screen them when the time comes. Even if a bad person is spared, a good person cannot be wronged.”

"Obey!" Hearing Lin Chuan say this, everyone's faces showed joy again, and the voices of the answers were a little louder.

Although the southern army could not move, there were a large number of nobles living in the area they controlled, and the minds of the Zhenxi army and the inspectors became active again.

They have a very thorough understanding of the temperament of the nobles. The nobles have long forgotten the fine traditions of the nobles. The current nobles are synonymous with corruption and crime. There is no kindness among a hundred nobles, so they You will be able to seize a lot of money again.

However, Lin Chuan's order is very clear, that is, they must be carefully screened, and those nobles who are truly kind and upright are not allowed to wantonly ransack their homes and arrest them.

The Zhenxi army was exhausted from marching, and they slept extraordinarily soundly this night, but the Torre guard army not far away from them was sleepless all night, they were afraid that the Zhenxi army would suddenly kill them.

After all, the achievements of the Zhenxi Army and the Supervision Office in the past few weeks have been outstanding and too dazzling. Hundreds of nobles in more than a dozen provinces have been ransacked by them. They can only live on the streets and become poor refugees.

All the bandits and rogues along the way became their ghosts, and their corpses were scattered all over the field behind them, and blood flowed like rivers.

Although the Zhenxi Army and Lin Chuan killed people who deserved to be killed, and what they cleared up were local cancers, but the news spread to the ears of the Southern Army, and the taste seemed to change.

According to the rich merchants and nobles who fled, the Zhenxi Army and Lin Chuan became murderous demons without batting an eyelid. They became synonymous with crime. They killed innocent people indiscriminately and robbed money. Anyone who resisted would become a corpse.

Lin Chuan was also known as a butcher. The nobles vilified Lin Chuan's image, describing him as a three-headed and six-armed demon who ate five babies a day, so the southern soldiers were afraid.

Although they were ordered by the chief to guard the border to the death and resolutely keep Lin Chuan and the Zhenxi Army out of the border, the soldiers of the Southern Army were actually terrified.

Especially when they saw those blood-stained and ferocious Zhenxi soldiers appearing outside Torre Town, their fear had reached a peak. If there were no military laws and regulations, they would have dropped their weapons and fled. After all, the Zhenxi Army feels too powerful, and their notoriety scares the Southern Army.

So when the Zhenxi Army was sleeping soundly, the soldiers of the Southern Army Infantry Battalion stationed in Torre Town were trembling and stayed up all night, for fear that they would wake up overnight and move their heads.

The nobles uglified the image of Zhenxi Army and Lin Chuan, which increased the fear of the Southern Army to a certain extent, which also brought certain advantages to Lin Chuan's negotiations.
