Chapter 296 Conspiracy

Austin, an important town in the eastern part of Luoshan Province, has now fallen into the hands of the Nanchuan Army. The black military flag flying on the top of the city and the patrol team wearing black armor on the streets let residents know that the city has changed hands.

On the 9th day of the slaughter of the Moon, the bloody battle of Austin blocked the fierce attack of the dynasty army several times. Of course, in addition to the 20,000 Nanchuan cavalry fighting to the death, the recruits recruited from Austin and the surrounding areas played a great role.

After the war, Austin almost turned into a rubble ruin. Every family in this once prosperous city had people killed in battle. White lanterns hung at the door of every household, and the whole city was in a grief.

After the war, Lin Chuan took the lead in distributing a large amount of pensions and bounties to the dead Austin soldiers. Although the Nanchuan Army had a large amount of pensions, for families who lost their sons or husbands, nothing could make up for the pain of losing relatives.

Due to the good aftermath policy, although Austin suffered many soldiers, these residents did not blame the Nanchuan army. Not only did they receive a large amount of pension, but they were military families and their families were also assigned a lot of land, which was enough to change their life for the rest of their lives.

In the midst of difficulties, the grieving Austinians began to rebuild their homes destroyed by the war.

Austin is now stationed by the 53rd Banner Regiment of the Nanchuan Army and is affiliated with Zhao Feng's Fourth Legion.

Luo Yong, the commander of the 53rd Banner Regiment, was a general who was a prisoner. He was cruel and brave in fighting. He followed the commander Lin Nuoyan to fight south and north and made great achievements. Luo Yong had obvious advantages and his shortcomings were also fatal. One of his bad shortcomings was that he regarded wealth as his fate.

After entering Austin, Luo Yong, the commander of the 53rd Banner Regiment, was prepared to accept Austin's treasury according to the instructions of the commander Zhao Feng of the army. However, to his frustration, the treasury stored a large amount of seized materials and was guarded by Lin Chuan's treasury. Luo Yong's beautiful wish to receive the treasury was failed.

Although Luo Yong's 53rd Banner Regiment is stationed in Austin, there are actually two infantry battalions of Linchuan's troops stationed in the city, guarding the treasury and preventing them from getting close.

The whole Austin is now in ruins, and Luo Yong's 53rd Banner Regiment has never been to the battlefield. Although they have come all the way to make a fetch, the reality is that they can only stare at the piles of seized materials, because it is seized by friendly forces and has no share.

Because they were both friendly forces and had too much supplies and could not be transported away, Lin Chuan ordered the seized catapults and heavy crossbows to leave all the heavy equipment such as Luo Yong's 53rd Banner Regiment. After all, it was friendly forces, so the wealth and water would not flow to outsiders' fields.

But Lin Chuan did not expect that his kindness attracted Luo Yong's greater greed.

"General Luo, the gold, silver and treasures accumulated in the treasury are piled up like mountains. Lin Chuan is too stingy, so he threw some ragged equipment to us. What's the matter?" Zhao He, a staff member of the flag group, looked at the heavy equipment piled up, making a fuss in dissatisfaction.

Zhao He, the chief of staff of the 53rd Banner Regiment, is a child of the clan of the army commander Zhao Feng. In addition to him, many children of the Zhao family have entered the Fourth Legion to hold positions at all levels.

Zhao He was actually a playboy, but now he has achieved enlightenment by Zhao Feng alone and has become the chief of staff of the flag regiment. In fact, he has no idea about marching and fighting.

Zhao He knew that the flag regiment commander Luo Yong liked gold and silver, which was a common problem for all officers from Xingtu. In order to complete the instructions of the regiment commander Zhao Feng and to seize the materials seized by the Linchuan regiment, he deliberately sowed the disagreement in front of commander Luo Yong all day long.

"Chief Zhao, stop making trouble. No matter how much gold and silver, it will be seized by the First Legion. It has nothing to do with us." Luo Yong, the commander of the flag regiment, was still self-aware. Although he was the major general, the leader of the flag regiment, he was still far behind those arrogant soldiers and generals under Lin Chuan.

Although Luo Yong was unwilling to let go of his greed and persuaded the chief of staff not to make any decisions.

When Zhao He heard Luo Yong say this, he continued to say dissatisfaction: "General Luo, what you said is wrong. What does it have to do with us? Although they fought hard on the front line and killed a lot of people, we are not idle in the rear. We transport military rations, treat the wounded, and guard the rear. No matter how you say there is no credit, there will be hard work. According to me, these gold, silver and jewelry score at least one-third of us."

After hearing the words of Chief of Staff Zhao He, Luo Tong nodded in agreement, but was frustrated: "Although that's what I said, I dare not ask them for supplies, and I can't hold this face down."

As a Xingtu, Luo Yong naturally knew Lin Chuan's character and rashly seized Lin Chuan's things, but the consequences were really unimaginable.

Seeing that Luo Yong was already moved, Chief of Staff Zhao He walked up and whispered: "General Luo, tell you the truth. In fact, our army commander also means to get a share..."

"What do you mean?" Luo Yong suddenly became interested. If he asked him, a flag commander, to get supplies, he would not dare. If the legion commander stood behind him, the situation would be different again.

"The commander of the Legion said that it was not the credit of their legion to capture Austin. When you see that you have a share, you will take someone to grab some of it. If they attack, the legion will come forward to block it, and after the matter is completed, you will give you at least 100,000 gold coins." Zhao He said temptingly.

Luo Yong originally loved money, but after hearing Zhao He's words, his breathing suddenly became rapid and the greed in his heart bloomed again.

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Luo Yong asked uncertainly.

"What can happen? Let's grab some of it tonight and hide it. When they ask, they will never admit it. What can they do? Besides, they can't stand it. The legion will come forward to help negotiate. What are you afraid of?"

Luo Yong's eyes shaking, he thought for a moment, and when he thought of 100,000 gold coins, he finally gritted his teeth and punched the table: "Okay, just do it!"

Since Luo Yong, as the commander of the 53rd Banner Regiment, was not stupid and afraid that he would be used as a gunman, he said to the chief of staff Zhao He: "Since that is the case, Chief of Staff Zhao, just take people there. Remember to do it cleanly and don't leave any traces."

Zhao He cursed the old fox inwardly, but with a smile on his face, "General Luo, don't worry, Zhao He, I, don't worry."

Zhao Feng, the commander of the Fourth Legion, was always envious of the large amount of materials and equipment seized by Lin Chuan and others in Austin City. He was inconvenient to take action, so he asked the 53rd Banners under his command to take action. If the matter was exposed, he would give up the 53rd Banners commander Luo Yong.
