"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1022
The situation in Baishan Province took a turn for the worse, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, so that it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
In particular, the communications in the prefectures and counties are backward, and some rumors are spreading more and more biased and exaggerated in the process of spreading.
The principals of some families in Baishan Province kept calm before, knowing that what they heard might be rumors.
However, as time went by, there were more and more rumors, and they were full of truth, which made them feel uneasy.
In fact, the major families are also watching the actions of the Zhendong Army. If the Zhendong Army has not been mobilized on a large scale, it is not aimed at them.
However, what these families did not expect was that the Zhendong Army had really been mobilized.
Some Zhendong Army units deployed on the front line were secretly transferred to various important towns, strengthening the control of these places.
In fact, this action of Zhendong Army was completely caused by the suspicion of Zhendong Army coach Chai Sheng.
He heard that the major families had secretly taken refuge in the wolf cavalry of the grassland. In order to avoid the danger of his army being attacked by the enemy, he sent people to seize these important roads in advance.
Once the situation changes, even if the situation cannot be stabilized, he can calmly lead his army to retreat safely.
He sent the army to seize the main road, but also to leave a way out for himself, not to deal with the major families.
The local relationships of these families are intricate, and the chief officials of various prefectures and counties are also inextricably linked with these families.
Therefore, Chai Sheng is not stupid enough to really eradicate these families. He now needs time to investigate whether the rumors are true or false.
If it is true that these families colluded with the prairie wolf rider, then he must be rude at that time.
Everything he does now is to take preventive measures and take a defensive measure instead of doing something to these families.
However, Chai Sheng's thoughts are one thing, and the thoughts of the various families in Baishan Province are another matter.
Seeing the frequent mobilization of the Zhendong Army made these families even more jittery. They all stepped up their guard and were ready to defend their families and properties at any time.
After all, the Zhendong Army is also a powerful regular army, and their ability to suppress the Zhang family in a short period of time is enough to explain the problem.
While these families were worried, they also had to secretly start connecting together, hoping to help each other.
Once the Zhendong Army really attacked them, they would definitely unite and fight against the Zhendong Army.
In the territory of Baishan Province, it seemed to be calm on the surface, and nothing seemed to happen.
But in fact, it is an undercurrent. Families who used to have a good relationship with Zhendong Army now have a tense relationship with Zhendong Army.
"Now the major families have started to contact secretly, and they are ready to unite to deal with unfavorable situations."
"The Zhendong Army is also investigating the major families, investigating their secret collusion with the Prairie Wolf Riders."
The strange situation in Baishan Province was single-handedly brought about by the advancing column Qinghe Army, so Li Changqing and the others were well aware of the situation.
"Although the Zhendong Army and the major families have not broken their faces, they have also raised their guard against each other." Chief of Staff Zhou Han said with a smile.
"It seems that they still have some scruples."
Seeing that although the Zhendong Army and the major families are at war, they still maintain restraint.
After all, although they have different interests, in general, they all belong to the same camp of the rebels.
"It's not good for them to exercise restraint. There are also many smart people on their side. Once they find out that we are behind the fuel, then the current good situation may go bankrupt." Li Changqing said solemnly.
"You mean, let's add fire?" Chief of Staff Zhou Han asked.
Li Changqing nodded: "The more chaotic the situation, the better, and the more chaotic the better for us."
"Well, without further ado, I'll arrange it right away."
Soon, the Qinghe Army took action again. Several teams of the Qinghe Army disguised themselves as Zhendong Army and raided the headquarters of several big families.
The disguised Zhendong Army forcibly captured the heads of these families on the grounds of investigating their collusion with the Prairie Wolf Cavalry.
Facing the murderous Zhendong Army troops, they were suddenly attacked.?These families didn't react, and they were quickly taken away.
It's okay that the head of the family was taken away, the original relationship between the two parties was already at a standstill.
Now it is said that their family colluded with the prairie wolf cavalry, that is just a cover to deal with them.
Feeling the crisis, on the one hand, these few families quickly contacted other families, and on the other hand, gathered people to snatch their family leaders back.
Soon, a large number of family armed forces armed with sticks and sickles surrounded the Blackstone Fort in the middle of the province.
Although Blackstone Castle is called a castle, it is actually the capital of Blackstone Mansion, and its status is self-evident.
Facing the countless family armed with sticks and swords outside the city, the defenders of the Zhendong Army in Blackstone Castle are also facing a formidable enemy.
Teams of soldiers and horses were urgently transferred to the top of the city, and the generals who were in charge of guarding here also immediately sent someone to report the situation to the coach Chai Sheng.
"Who told them to arrest people without authorization?!"
After Chai Sheng learned that the Zhendong Army had arrested several family leaders, which led to the siege of Blackstone Fort, he was also too angry to speak.
He just secretly ordered people to investigate, instead of letting them arrest people, and now such a mess has happened.
But Chai Sheng was not. In fact, he didn't even know that the people arrested by their Zhendong Army were arrested by the Qinghe Army, and they were planted to frame them.
"Quickly send an order to Black Rock Fort to let them release the people as soon as possible to calm the anger."
Chai Sheng also didn't want to break face with these families, because there was no obvious evidence that they were secretly surrendering to the enemy.
When Chai Sheng sent someone to send an order to Black Rock Castle to let them go, the family armed forces surrounding Black Stone Castle also clamored for them to let them go.
However, the admiral of Black Rock Fort and the defender of Zhendong Army were also full of grievances. They didn't arrest people at all, so how could they release them.
No matter what their explanations are, the family armed forces surrounding Blackstone Fort just don't believe it, and instead feel that the Zhendong Army is delaying time.
"Attack!"
Just half a day after besieging Blackstone Fort, more than a dozen family armed forces launched a formal attack on Blackstone Fort.
The armed forces of these families seem to have a large number of people, but in fact, the ones who can really fight are the family private soldiers they raise.
Most of the rest are young and strong who have been pulled in temporarily, so their combat effectiveness is not strong.
Blackstone Fort was under siege, although the defenders could stop it, but the posture scared the defenders enough.
"The family is rebellious, ask for reinforcements!"
The panic-stricken generals of Blackstone Fort quickly dispatched their horses to seek help from coach Chai Sheng.
Chai Sheng, the coach, is the capital of the province, so naturally he doesn't know the specific situation at Blackstone Fort.
However, these families dared to attack the Zhendong Army without authorization, which already violated his Ni Lin. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
