Chapter 510 The Army Arrives
The situation was exactly as Ma Qiancheng had thought.
After Qin Ping was captured, Qin Banghan and his family servants raided the Qin family that night.
If you have to say it, this is a serious crime of rebellion, and the execution of three generations of the family is considered a light punishment.
The Ma family also had the same intention of rebellion.
Qin Ping was in trouble, how could they escape?
Thanks to Ma Qiancheng's resolute demarcation of the line with his own family patriarch at the banquet and his position, he was able to get a lighter sentence.
The Qin family made great contributions in the process of controlling the stone pillar this time.
So Lin Chen returned the favor by incorporating the two brothers Qin Banghan and Qin Bangping into the army and directly appointed them as commanders of one side.
This is a serious military general. If he can follow Lin Chen to make military achievements in the future, he can go further!
This made Qin Kui overjoyed, but he couldn't help but sigh.
You know, he has always hoped that the descendants of the Qin family can become civil officials.
I didn't expect to go around in circles and return to the starting point.
Overnight, the world in Shizhu Village changed.
When most of the Shizhu people woke up, they were shocked to find that the head of the former high-ranking Xuanfu Envoy was hung on the village gate!
At the same time, the crimes he committed were also made public.
Of course.
Most of the Shizhu people did not have much waves about this, after all, these had no direct connection with them.
It was not until the Yulin General reissued the full pension in the name of the court and issued 20 taels of resettlement expenses that Shizhu Village became boiling!
For the people of Shizhu, they didn't care who the Xuanfu Envoy was, and they had never heard of the Yulin General of the court.
However, this Yulin General really gave money!
In this era, if you talk to the people of Shizhu about the righteousness of the country, they will probably just think you are talking nonsense.
Only when you have real silver in your hands can you make them obey you!
Lin Chen knew this very well, so everything went smoothly.
He quickly selected 9,000 strong men in Shizhu, a place where everyone is a soldier.
These were old soldiers who had fought against the Xixia barbarians in the Western Army in previous years. They only needed a little training and running-in before they could fight in the battlefield.
Surprisingly, Ma Qiancheng was also among the recruits.
The Ma clan leader's lineage was completely destroyed. Logically, Ma Qiancheng should have taken over the position of clan leader.
Unexpectedly, he brought dozens of Ma disciples to join the army.
Lin Chen didn't care too much, as time was running out.
So after selecting the white-pole soldiers, he immediately led the team to Chengdu Prefecture.

"Little sister, this is going to the battlefield. Does your father know that you are going with me this time?"
Qin Banghan looked at Qin Liangyu, who was dressed as a soldier under his command, with a difficult expression on his face, and couldn't help but have a headache.
"What? Brother, you can't beat me!"
Qin Liangyu was displeased when she heard this and waved her fist.
Seeing this, Qin Banghan subconsciously shrank his neck and his face was slightly stiff.
Indeed.
He has been suppressed by Qin Liangyu with force for many years.
After all, whose sister is like Qin Liangyu, beating a third-rate warrior is like beating a chicken.
Qin Banghan, who was extremely worried, immediately brought up his father's name and tried to persuade Qin Liangyu to go back.
After all, this is an important military camp. If General Lin finds out that his younger sister disguised herself as a man and mixed into the army, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, Qin Liangyu curled her lips and said indifferently: "Father must know."
That old guy wanted to let her cling to General Lin.
But Qin Liangyu wanted to show her skills on the battlefield and make military exploits!
Qin Banghan saw that he couldn't beat Qin Liangyu, so he didn't say anything more, but just told her to be more careful, this is a military camp, not like home.
However.
Qin Liangyu's play of imitating Hua Mulan to join the army for her father was discovered before it started.
Yes,
When Lin Chen led the white-pole soldiers into Chengdu Prefecture and opened the armory to receive armor and weapons, he found that there was a familiar breath in the army.
And that person seemed to have noticed it, and his eyes dodged.
Well.
After Lin Chen recognized that this person was Qin Liangyu, his face became a little strange.
I didn't expect Qin Liangyu to disguise herself as a man and sneak into the army.
That's it.
After laughing lightly, Lin Chen didn't take it to heart.
It's more important to reorganize the army now!
It's because after the Wu Wang rebels took Fuling, they collected ships and marched along the land route with the Han River!
The speed of travel was very fast. In just seven days, they had crossed Fancheng and approached Xixiang.
Once they passed Fangling Shangyong, the Hanzhong Plain along the way was undefended.
If Hanzhong, the gateway to Bashu, was lost, Lin Chen would be passive.
Even if the two Huaiyang guards arrived at that time, he could only find a way to take back Hanzhong from the King of Wu, who claimed to have an army of 500,000.
The difficulty is self-evident.
Of course,
the 500,000 troops that the King of Wu claimed to have were actually quite watered down.
The number of soldiers who could really fight was no more than 200,000 at most.
The rest were native soldiers recruited from the Indochina Peninsula, and their combat effectiveness was quite limited.
Therefore, Lin Chen trained 20,000 elite county soldiers from various places in Chengdu Prefecture, plus the white-pole soldiers, a total of 30,000, and marched to Hanzhong in a hurry to compete with the King of Wu.
However, the counties along the way fell into the hands of the King of Wu without any resistance.
One reason was that the King of Wu had a lot of troops, and the other was that the King of Wu himself recruited these officials with huge benefits.
Fortunately, the King of Wu's army went up the river after all, and Lin Chen finally took the lead.
When the King of Wu just took over Xixiang, he learned from the spies that General Lin Chenjia of the Imperial Guards had already stationed in Fangling with his soldiers.
Fangling was built on the mountain and is located on the south side of the Han River. It was just across the Han River from his army and across the river!
After Lin Chen entered Fangling, he immediately ordered the county magistrate of the city to recruit labor and strengthen the city defense.
There was no way.
The city wall, which was less than five meters high and mostly made of earth, could not stop the attack of the King of Wu's army?
On the other side.
There were flags like a forest and camps like mountains!
Even Qin Liangyu, who had always been full of self-confidence, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when she saw this battle.
My goodness, there are too many people on the opposite side!
At the same time, in the King of Wu's camp.
King Wu looked at his staff and generals, and asked in a deep voice: "Tang general Lin Chenjia occupied Fangling and intended to block our army's advance. Who dares to lead the army to challenge him?"
The generals in the tent all agreed in unison.
"I am willing to go!"
"I am willing to go!"
In recent days, the Wu army has won battle after battle, and it has been unstoppable all the way, which has made the generals more arrogant.
However, King Wu did not rush to give orders, but turned his attention to the native generals.
Most of these native chiefs were lured by him with a lot of money.
Although the combat effectiveness of their native soldiers is limited, there are also a few native soldiers who satisfy King Wu.
For example, Wu Tugu, the leader of Wuguo, is twice as tall as a normal person, and his muscular body is shocking.
