Lin Ziran had always been extremely vigilant about Jianming Gang and other feudal towns.
He knew very well that he might be destroyed if he was not careful.
He might even end up like Cheng Lingfeng, or even worse, he might end up like Feng Haozhong now, a character that everyone calls for beatings.
Because he himself has been thinking about killing other vassal towns and unifying Luoan County all day long.
Other feudal towns also thought the same way.
There is only one Luo'an County, but there are several vassal towns, and no one in these vassal towns is willing to bow down and become someone else's subordinate. All of them are ambitious and unwilling to be subordinated by others.
Under such circumstances, since he wanted to expand his territory, he also had to prevent other vassal towns from attacking him.
So even though he had ordered the expansion of the Third Infantry Regiment, Lin Ziran still did not dare to relax.
During the time he stayed in Fengyan Town, in addition to expanding the Third Infantry Regiment, he also deployed defense, just because he was afraid that Jian Minggang would get hot-headed and directly send troops to attack him.
Although from a rational analysis, Jian Minggang is unlikely to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself, there is no guarantee that he will not suddenly become stupid.
There are many stupid vassals and towns. The previous Cheng Lingfeng is an obvious example, and the subsequent Shao Bing is also a bit stupid.
And their fate was not good.
Although Cheng Lingfeng fled with thousands of remaining soldiers, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback in the future.
Although Shao Bing still fled back to Luo Hai and continued to serve as the governor of Luo Hai County, he lost tens of thousands of troops in this disastrous defeat. It is estimated that he will not be able to organize an army to go northward and bring Luo An County, a strategic town, under control for a long time.
.
It is even estimated that he will have to face internal turmoil after returning to Luo Hai County.
These two people are also prominent figures in the melee in Nanhai Prefecture in the past ten years, but they still made mistakes.
If Cheng Lingfeng hadn't stubbornly insisted on regaining Guang'an County, but couldn't win the battle, causing the entire Luo'an County to be thrown into chaos, how could Jianming Gang, Feng Haozhong and the others rebel temporarily.
They can all make mistakes, but there is no guarantee that Jian Minggang, who has become the governor of Luoan County, will not make mistakes!
If he really got crazy and insisted on beating Lin Ziran despite the threats from other feudal towns, it would be a good thing for other feudal towns, but it would not be a good thing for Lin Ziran.
Therefore, Lin Ziran must give up this possible idea.
Expand the Third Infantry Regiment, deploy the defense of six towns on the east bank of Lingchang, and contact other feudal towns at the same time, just to let Jianming Gang know.
If he wants to attack the Sixth Division, it will be a loss outweighing the gains.
Fortunately, Jian Minggang did not make any mistakes. After dispatching 3,000 troops to the six towns on the east bank of Lingchang, he did not continue to increase troops or directly launch a large-scale attack.
Instead, he continued to follow his original plan and mobilized troops north to the west bank of Lingchang County to reinforce Jian Liangzhi's Sixth Division.
"Sir, we have accurate news. Now the main force of the Fifth Division has entered the west bank of Lingchang County and will soon enter Pingdan County!" Wu Guanlin said while handing the briefing to Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran took it and saw that it was a report from the spies sent by their Sixth Division to the west bank of Lingchang County.
The report stated that three days ago, the main force of the Fifth Division had already arrived on the west bank of Lingchang County, and continued to move northward into Pingdan County.
Counting the reinforcements sent north by Jianminggang, Jianminggang has sent at least 15,000 reinforcements to Pingdan County, which is almost the entire force of the Fifth Division.
The Fifth Division went out to reinforce Pingdan County, which meant that it was difficult for Jianming Post to mobilize enough troops to attack the east bank of Lingchang.
According to the intelligence, Lin Ziran probably knew that the main force under Jian Minggang's command was only about 40,000 people, and there were also about 10,000 new second-line troops.
Among them, the main force is the 1st Division with 20,000 people, the 5th Division with 15,000 people, and the 6th Division with 10,000 people. These three divisions are the main force with complete infantry, artillery, cavalry and transportation, and each one has the ability to fight independently.
In addition, there are several newly formed brigades, estimated to number ten thousand people. However, according to intelligence, these newly formed brigades have relatively poor combat effectiveness and equipment. It is estimated that their actual combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of Lin Ziran's Sixth Division.
There are many troops at Jianming Post, but there are also many places where they need to be deployed. At least 10,000 people must be placed there to guard against Li Dingjun.
The area of three counties and one district, especially the county and city area, must be controlled by at least tens of thousands of troops.
Before heading north to Pingdan County, there were 10,000 men in Jian Liangzhi's 6th Division. Now with the addition of the 5th Division, the main force in this direction is more than 20,000 people.
He placed another 3,000 men on the east bank of Lingchang to guard against Lin Ziran, and on the northwest side, he estimated that he would have to put a few thousand men on guard against Zhao Song.
After this calculation, all the troops under Jian Minggang's command were used to their maximum.
It is already impossible to mobilize a large-scale force to attack the six towns on the east bank of Lingchang in addition to these 3,000 people.
"It seems that the Sheriff's Mansion has made a decision!" Lin Ziran put down the briefing with a smile on his face.
Jian Minggang has already made a choice, which is to send the main force to kill Feng Haozhong first. He probably wants to wait until Feng Haozhong is killed, then turn around and slowly deal with him, Lin Ziran, Li Dingjun, Zhao Song, and Li Kun.
et al.
Lin Ziran continued: "It's safe here for a while, but we can't be idle and let the troops step up their training. The Third Infantry Regiment must form an army as soon as possible. Time waits for no one!"
After giving instructions on these internal matters, Lin Ziran wrote a few more letters and asked people to send them out.
Among these letters, the most important one is the one sent to Li Kun.
Lin Ziran hinted in the letter, saying that Jian Minggang and Feng Haozhong fought life and death. Does it have anything to do with you, Brother Li? Listen to my advice, don't get involved. You and I will move into a small building nearby.
Wouldn’t it be great to watch a show from the bench?
After Li Kun received the letter and read it, he laughed: "This Lin Ziran really touched my heart!"
"Jian Minggang and Feng Haozhong, the eldest brother and the second child, are born to be sworn enemies. Let them play their own games and we will not interfere!"
A middle-aged general next to him also said: "Yes, we can just watch from the side when they beat them. Maybe we will have the chance to kill them all at once!"
Li Kun said: "Don't worry, the two sides add up to 40,000 to 50,000 horses. How can it be so easy to cook it all at once?"
"The top priority now is to send men to take over Nan'an County. That bastard Du Zhikuan has completely given up on the south of Chongguang City. This huge Nan'an County is extremely empty. The reconnaissance cavalry has reported that Lin Ziran's men have quietly sent troops
