"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1021
"The Zhendong army is short of food and fodder, and they want to take our families under the knife."
"Using the pretext of mediation, they slaughtered 195 members of Zhang's family in Nanshan, and robbed countless grains and money."
"The Zhendong army is simply deceiving people too much!"
"We have given them a lot of filial piety, but they want to deal with us."
"I heard it was ordered by Pingyang Province."
Rumors that the Zhendong Army wanted to attack the families in the province to replenish their military supplies spread overnight. While the major families in Baishan Province were angry, they were all in danger.
Their families have been rooted in the local area for at least a few decades, and as many as hundreds of years.
?They own a lot of land and property in the local area. Although they are comparable to those aristocratic families, their power cannot be underestimated.
? In particular, the Baishan Province is mountainous and densely forested, bandits are rampant, and the army is on the front line to resist the prairie wolf cavalry, resulting in insufficient local garrisons.
In order to protect themselves, the major families gathered together with the family as a bond, forming small forces one by one.
They are the local emperors. No matter how the city head king banner changes, no one dares to touch their interests.
Whether it was the imperial court's garrison there, or the Zhendong Army who arrived here later.
These families all expressed their obedience and provided a certain amount of military supplies.
However, these armies also ensure that the local interests of these families are not violated, which has become a default rule.
Now that the Zhendong army suddenly intervened in the private grievances between the families, it was a violation of the rules.
Now there are rumors that the Zhendong Army is going to take action against these families, spying on their money to supplement military supplies, and naturally these families can't sit still.
The family members of some powerful families in various prefectures and counties in Baishan Province were assassinated one after another, but the murderer disappeared without a trace, which undoubtedly cast a haze over the heads of these families.
There are even conspiracy theories circulating, that is, these murderers were all sent by the Zhendong Army, in order to stir up internal fighting among the families, and then the Zhendong Army will take action again.
Of course, these families are not unique, there is a pair of big hands behind this scene pushing all this.
The Zhendong Army was originally transferred from other places to the territory of Baishan Province to deploy defenses to prevent the prairie wolves from going south, so they can be regarded as guest troops.
Previously, they lived in peace with the local family, but now the relationship between the two parties suddenly became tense.
Chai Sheng, the coach of Zhendong Army, sent someone to mediate at the beginning, and the purpose was also to ensure the stability of the rear, so as not to affect the operations of the frontline army.
However, after the mediating official was killed, he was completely enraged, and at the suggestion of his staff, he decided to make an example of others.
They did finish killing chickens, but they failed to achieve the effect of respecting monkeys. Instead, they aroused the vigilance of the major families against their East Army.
Facing the rumors, Zhendong Army coach Chai Sheng suddenly discovered that they had fallen into a very unfavorable passive situation.
Once these families were separated from them, it would be a joke to resist the prairie wolf and ride south.
After all, although their Zhendong Army has a strong military force, they were transferred from other places after all.
Without the support of the local family, their strength will be greatly weakened.
Chai Sheng didn't realize that these rumors were secretly promoted by someone. He thought that they suppressed the Zhang family and caused misunderstandings among the major families.
"Immediately summon the patriarchs of the major families to the provincial capital, and I will explain to them in person."
In order to dispel these rumors as soon as possible, Chai Sheng had no choice but to call a meeting of the patriarchs of the major families.
Because only by explaining it face to face, can the whole story be explained clearly.
Chai Sheng believes that he still has a little prestige, as long as he comes forward, all the rumors will be self-defeating.
In order to ensure that the patriarchs of the major families can reach the provincial capital safely, the Zhendong Army also specially dispatched teams of soldiers and horses to escort them in person, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by those bandits who gathered in the mountains.
Chai Sheng's idea is good, but it is not easy to implement it smoothly.
Because of the massacre of the Zhang family by the Zhendong Army, the major families have become wary of the Zhendong Army.
Now the Zhendong Army wants the patriarchs of their major families to act.??The capital, and sending escorts, it doesn't feel right.
Before the patriarchs of these families hesitated to go, the rumors came out again.
"Chai Sheng wants to wipe out all the patriarchs of the major families, and then threaten the family to pay for the ransom."
"The guard team they sent was actually worried that the patriarchs of the major families would not go to the provincial capital and enforced it."
Facing the rumors with nose and eyes, the patriarchs of those families in the province suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
They were still hesitating whether to go or not. After all, it might be a rumor, and Chai Sheng wanted to explain it to them personally.
But now when they heard the new rumors, they broke out in a cold sweat and realized that this was a huge trap.
"The head of the Zhao family occasionally feels cold and cannot come to the provincial capital."
"The head of the Li family broke his leg while riding a horse and needs to rest. It is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed for three months."
"The road leading to the six counties was washed away by flash floods, and there is no news of Liu's family at present."
Chai Sheng, the coach of Zhendong Army who was looking forward to in the provincial capital, soon received reports one after another.
The patriarchs of each family had various reasons for refusing to come to the provincial capital to meet with him, which made Chai Sheng look bad.
If it was like this for one or two families, he could still accept it, but now hundreds of families are like this.
In particular, there are more than a hundred patriarchs who occasionally feel cold, which is too coincidental.
"Check it out for me, why don't they come."
Chai Sheng, as the commander of the Zhendong Army and the deputy commander of the rebel army, can be considered a high-ranking figure.
Now that these families don't give him face, this makes Chai Sheng feel angry in his heart.
"Marshal, I heard a rumor, I don't know if it should be said or not."
Seeing the ugly coach Chai Sheng, an aide hesitated for a few seconds and spoke cautiously.
"Is there something wrong with the family, say."
Chai Sheng was furious, and waved his big hand.
After looking around, the staff member reported in a low voice: "I heard that these families have secretly reached a secret agreement with the Prairie Wolf Cavalry, and they have secretly taken refuge in the Prairie Wolf Cavalry."
"What?!"
After hearing the news, Chai Sheng immediately stood up and stared at the staff member with shock in his eyes.
"Where did the news come from?!"
"A good friend of mine has a caravan. He happened to see children from a family in the province riding freely in and out of the prairie wolf. Of course, this is just a rumor and cannot be taken as true."
"No wonder they dare not come to the provincial capital. It turns out they have ghosts in their hearts!"
Although the staff emphasized that it was just a rumor, Chai Sheng didn't think so. He felt that this matter was probably true.
Thinking that these families had reached a secret agreement with the Prairie Wolf Cavalry, then their Zhendong Army would be in danger of being attacked from both sides. Thinking of this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
