Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 586
After the Nanchuan Army withdrew to Hezhong City, they did not continue to retreat westward to Nanchuan Province. Instead, they stopped around Hezhong City. According to Lin Chuan's order, they began to build fortification trenches wantonly, which meant that they would be stationed for a long time.

This time, the governor of Hezhong Province was in a hurry. Facing the aggressive soldiers of the Hanhai people, half of the Hezhong Province had already fallen. He had no choice but to ask for help from the Nanchuan Army. Now that the Hanhai people were repelled, the Nanchuan Army did not leave. This is not what the governor of the river province wants to see.

"It really drove away the tiger and attracted the wolves!" The Governor of Hezhong Province dared not say anything in the face of the powerful Nanchuan Army, but he was very dissatisfied in private.

Now that the Far Eastern Dynasty has collapsed, as the governor of Hezhong Province, he is the local emperor of Hezhong Province, so he can do whatever he wants, but the Nanchuan Army's persistence makes the Governor of Hezhong Province feel very uncomfortable.

"Now that the people of Hanhai have stopped marching westward, we have to find a way to drive the Nanchuan Army out of Hezhong Province. Otherwise, in the long run, our Hezhong Province should be renamed Nanchuan." The governor of Hezhong Province said for the power in his hands. Just do it, and immediately recruited his confidant, Zhao Hu, the commander of the provincial garrison flag regiment, and planned to ask him to create some troubles, so as to achieve the goal of expulsing the Nanchuan Army.

Zhao Hu, the head of the provincial garrison banner, is not a fuel-efficient lantern either. His troops are on the verge of collapse in the face of the Hanhai people, and lost more than half of the province in just one week. Can't keep it.

Although Zhao Hu is a wimp in leading the army, he is a first-class master when he secretly plays tricks, although at first he was grateful to the Nanchuan Army for saving the Hezhong Province.

But now the Nanchuan Army is stationed here and will not leave. They stay in the area of ​​Hezhong City in the name of defense assistance. The garrison, which was about to collapse at the touch of a finger, cursed endlessly, which made Zhao Hu hate the Nanchuan Army from jealousy.

Zhao Hu's provincial garrison often harassed the people, and the people dared not speak out, but after the Nanchuan army came, disciplined troops wearing red armbands could be seen on the street at any time, and many people in the garrison were cleaned up by them.

Due to the strength of the Nanchuan Army, Zhao Hu could only swallow his anger, but he had already scolded the Nanchuan Army in his heart, and desperately hoped that the Nanchuan Army would leave quickly, so after getting the governor's authorization, he began to prepare for trouble.

On October 22th, soldiers of the garrison and more than a dozen off-duty officers of the [-]nd Banner Regiment of the Nanchuan Army clashed on the street, which led to a large-scale brawl. Although no one was killed, many were seriously injured More than fifty people.

Zhao Hu originally wanted to teach the officers of the Nanchuan Army a lesson on the street, and then frame the officers of the Nanchuan Army as arrogant and domineering, but they were unsuccessful. The defense team was beaten black and blue.

It was originally a frame-up, and the matter here has just ended, and the governor of Hezhong Province has brought people to Linchuan's headquarters to protest.

"Although our garrison team is weak, we are not allowed to be bullied. We must compensate and apologize!" The Governor of Hezhong Province was firm.

Lin Chuan didn't know why, so he sent a disciplined force to investigate. Although he knew the truth, the garrison had a plan, but in view of the large number of wounded, after all, the people of Hanhai were coming, and the war was imminent. For the sake of harmony between the two sides, Lin Chuan made a compromise , compensated part of the gold coins.

Seeing Lin Chuan's compromise, the Governor of Hezhong Province suddenly felt more confident. Although this time it was unsuccessful, he was not discouraged, but intensified.

On October [-]th, Zhao Hu ordered a [-]-member garrison of the Hezhong Province to slaughter the villages [-] miles away from Hezhong City, and made a big publicity in Hezhong City to frame the Nanchuan Army.

Although Lin Chuan immediately ordered a thorough investigation to prove the innocence of the Nanchuan Army, he underestimated the power of the Governor of Hezhong Province and his group.

They have been operating in Hezhong Province for many years, and soon they encouraged the people to hold a big parade against the Nanchuan Army.

"The Nanchuan Army withdrew from our land!"

"Go back to your Nanchuan!"

"Murder pays for life! Nanchuan Army is the murderer!"

……

Facing the instigation of the Governor of Hezhong Province and others, the people of Hezhong Province, who were still holding flower ribbons a few days ago, immediately changed their stance and began to target the Nanchuan Army, forgetting that the Nanchuan Army had just helped them resist the Hanhai Army.

Although Lin Chuan reacted quickly and sent someone to explain, the people in Hezhong Province had preconceived ideas and believed in their parents even more, so the Nanchuan Army suddenly fell into a passive position. A few days ago, they were still admired heroes, but now they have become He became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

Facing the angry people, Lin Chuan had to withdraw several infantry battalions stationed in Hezhong City outside the city to avoid further friction.

Lin Chuan's retreat made the Governor of Hezhong Province even more confident. He even encouraged the people to attack the Nanchuan Army's camp, while their garrison was fully armed and ready to fight the Nanchuan Army.

The Nanchuan Army did not pay attention to the thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled garrison troops, but Lin Chuan had to take care of those unarmed people. If there was no support from the people, then even if the fortifications they built around Hezhong City were very It is strong, and it can't stop the Hanhai people from attacking.

"Young Marshal, the people are attacking our camp again!" Chief of Staff Xue Wen is worried about the current situation. If the situation continues, it will be very bad for the Nanchuan Army.

"It must have been ordered by the Governor of Hezhong Province. They are really a bunch of ungrateful bastards. We helped him beat the Hanhai people, but he stuck a knife in the back!" Gang Yu, the regiment leader, was furious.

Lin Chuan knew well that the presence of the Nanchuan Army in the Hezhong Province had already blocked the power and status of the governor of the Hezhong Province. If the Nanchuan Army stayed here, there would be no peace.

"Send the order! Withdraw the troops overnight!" Lin Chuan decided to withdraw after thinking twice.

"Damn it, let them go and fight the Hanhai people by themselves, labor and management won't serve them anymore." Gang Yu had been dissatisfied for a long time, and it was like relief at this moment.

Facing the worsening military-civilian relationship, the Nanchuan Army left Hezhong City overnight within a week after entering Hezhong City, and marched towards Nanchuan Province.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! The Nanchuan Army is gone, hahaha, the Nanchuan Army is gone!"

The Nanchuan army withdrew very quickly, leaving overnight without any intention of staying. When Zhao Hu was about to encourage the people to continue protesting in the early morning of the second day, he found that the Nanchuan army had left completely.

"Hmph, fight with me, Lin Chuan is still young!" The governor of the Hezhong Province looked smug, thinking that he could finally continue to dominate the Hezhong Province, but he was handsome for only three seconds, and the bad news came soon. coming.

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency! The Hanhai people are calling!" The muddy soldiers broke into the mansion of the Governor of the River Province.

The Governor of Hezhong Province was shocked: "Didn't the Hanhai people be killed by the Nanchuan Army over 3 people?! Then they will fight!"

"Governor, that's just the vanguard of the Hanhai people. The 30 main force of the Hanhai people has already rushed towards our Hezhong province! Run!"

Hearing the report from the soldiers, the Governor of Hezhong Province suddenly felt powerless, and sat down on the cold floor. He calculated everything, thinking that he could continue to dominate Hezhong Province after expelling the Nanchuan Army, but now Turns out it was all just wishful thinking.

"Zhao Hu, take your people to resist outside the city! Resist! We can't let the Hanhai people occupy our river province."

Zhao Hu said with a sad face: "My lord, there are 30 people in Hanhai, and we only have less than [-]. Even spit can drown us, so let's run away."

"No, no, I can't escape." The Governor of the River Central Province is now in a state of confusion, but he knows that once he leaves the River Central Province, he will be nothing. His power and wealth are gone. Now he regrets it. Drive away the Nanchuan army.

"My lord governor, if you don't go, I will go. Take care of yourself." When Zhao Hu saw the governor leave, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and ran happily.

"Come back! Come back!" The governor cursed angrily, but the more people scolded, the more people ran away.

As the officials and the garrison team began to flee, the news of the call from the Hanhai people spread rapidly. In a panic, the entire Hezhong City was in chaos, and they all fled westward.

"Young Marshal, your move is really clever." Xue Wen, chief of staff, was staying with Lin Chuan in a forest thirty miles away from Hezhong City at the moment. Hearing that Hezhong City was in chaos, Xue Wen smiled and complimented Lin Chuan.

In fact, Lin Chuan did not evacuate. He deliberately let out the news of the call from the people of Hanhai, and there was only one purpose, which was to let the officials in Hezhong City leave by themselves, and let the common people evacuate by themselves, while Lin Chuan and the others You only need to receive it when the time comes. The Hezhong Province will be brought under the control of the Nanchuan Army, and the Hezhong City is also the first strong fortress built by Lin Chuan to defend against the Hanhai people.

The reason why Lin Chuan used these small methods was to avoid direct conflicts between the Nanchuan army and the people and the officials of the Hezhong Province. Now that Hanhai is the number one enemy, Lin Chuan does not want to forcibly annex the Hezhong Province, so the methods are more gentle and tactful.
