Chapter 47 Rapidly growing power, the battle for people's hearts! (Votes requested)
In the next few days, Lin Zhongyun continued to capture cities and territories around Wan County.

The number of refugees under his command is increasing.

Just like the analysis of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chu at the beginning, with Lin Zhongyun's current reputation, as long as he steps out of Lian'an City, there will be a steady stream of refugees coming to him.

In just five days, the number of Lin Zhongyun's men had exceeded 10,000, and they had actually captured three cities!

Moreover, one of the cities was conquered by the refugees inside the city themselves and then directly given to Lin Zhongyun.

There is no other way. These small cities in Daqian are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If they rely on the city gates, they can still block some of Lin Zhongyun’s army.

However, as long as these refugees caused chaos from within, they could easily take over the county government with their numerical advantage.

And the news spread throughout Cangzhou like a plague.

Wan County.

"Another city lost?"

When Su Guanyi looked at the urgent letter sent by the spy, his expression became completely panicked.

I can’t hold it back anymore! I can’t hold it back anymore!
In just a few days, if Lian'an City is included, these beasts have already captured five cities, and the number of rioters is increasing. How can he suppress this news?

He can't escape this crime!

And the most crucial thing is that according to the growth in the number of these people in the past few days, Su Guanyi couldn't imagine how many people they would eventually have if they were allowed to continue to develop.

Cangzhou is a continent!
Among the six states of Daqian, although Cangzhou is far less wealthy than the two states in the south of the Yangtze River, because Cangzhou is located in a plain, it is suitable for farming and breeding. Therefore, Cangzhou has always been the largest in terms of population in Daqian.

Although most of the people in Cangzhou have already fled to other states and counties due to the drought in the past four years, there are definitely still quite a few who stayed in Cangzhou and are still alive!

If the situation continues to develop in this way, this group of people will no longer be beasts, but real rebels!

That's his own crime.
Su Guanyi didn't dare to think any further. His face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. He quickly looked at the clerk who came to deliver the letter and asked loudly, "Where is Xia Zhaoji! Send a letter to him to return to Wan County immediately!"

"Sir, General Xia is still chasing the bandits!" The clerk's expression was quite solemn, and he spoke directly.

Until now, he no longer dared to call someone a beast as he did before!

This group of people really rebelled!
How could such a beast capture several cities in a short period of time?

"Chasing the bandits?"

Su Guanyi immediately sneered and asked loudly, "Did he catch up with her?"

As he spoke, his tone paused slightly, and then he sighed deeply before saying, "If this continues, my Wan County will be taken away by those beasts without a garrison!"

"Have you not realized yet that those beasts want to completely surround Wan County?"

At the end of his speech, Su Guanyi's face once again showed a solemn expression. He took a deep breath and murmured, "These beasts are plotting against my Wan County!"

In an instant, the clerk's expression suddenly changed!
Come and attack my Wan County again!
Who dares to believe all this?
Just a few days ago they thought these people were just beasts that could be defeated at any time, but now the enemy is already plotting to take over Wan County?

The official's face immediately turned pale. He took a deep breath and bowed to Su Guanyi: "Sir, please report this to the governor."

"No need!" Su Guanyi immediately waved his hand: "We can report together after the matter is settled."

This crime is too serious. If we wait until the situation is pacified before reporting it together, this matter will become a trivial matter and even if the court punishes him, it will not be too severe.

However, if he submits the memorial now, even if he can pacify the situation in the future, he will still be demoted.

Su Guanyi has been an official for his entire life. He has finally climbed to where he is today, and he doesn't want to go down anymore!
Especially in a year of disaster like this!
Hearing this, the clerk nodded quickly, then turned around and was about to walk out.

But at this moment, Su Guanyi stopped him directly.

"and many more!"

The clerk immediately stopped and turned around to ask, "My Lord, do you have any other instructions?"

"Let's cook some porridge today and distribute it to the beasts outside the city." Su Guanyi said with a serious look on his face, "Tell them that from now on, the court will start disaster relief."

"The porridge doesn't need to be too dry, put more grass in it."

Su Guanyi's expression was extremely serious.

Upon hearing this, the clerk's eyes suddenly moved, and he immediately understood what Su Guanyi meant. He nodded immediately, bowed to Su Guanyi, and walked out directly.

The entire government office suddenly fell silent. Su Guanyi sat on a chair with a serious face, and directly took out the map that had not been used for who knows how long.

He must take care of these beasts. Even if he has to allocate more food, he must curb that guy's momentum!

Su Guanyi didn't believe that if he distributed some food in the name of the court, the refugees would still follow that guy to do such a rebellious thing that would cost them their lives.
Two days passed quickly.

Anlu City.

"Our army now has more than 3 men, with corporals and centurions. We have nearly dan of food and fodder."

"But for some reason, our spies suddenly reported that the imperial court troops who had been chasing our army suddenly withdrew."

"Also, news came from outside Wancheng that the imperial court decided to open the granaries to release grain to help the victims. Congee has been available outside Wancheng for the past two days."

Lin Zhongyun sat in the government office, looking at the virtual panel for uploading videos, inputting the content silently, and then directly chose to upload.

His expression was rather grim.

The original plan was going very smoothly, but I didn't expect this to happen suddenly.

In fact, Lin Zhongyun could also understand why the prefect in Wancheng suddenly wanted to do such a thing. He was undoubtedly competing with him for the hearts of the people.

The Daqian Kingdom has existed for nearly five hundred years. Although the world is in chaos now, it is still as strong as a centipede that is dead but still alive.

If they could survive by not rebelling, this would naturally attract many refugees to give up coming here, or even turn to support the imperial court.

In the past two days, the number of refugees coming to him for help has obviously decreased.

And the most crucial thing is that although Lin Zhongyun's strength seems to be much stronger now, he has to face those regular officers and soldiers, and it is an offensive and defensive battle, so he has no chance of winning at all.

Lin Zhongyun naturally had to ask the "military advisor".

"Big brother."

At this moment, Li Zhongwu hurried in from outside and immediately bowed to Lin Zhongyun as soon as he entered the door.

Li Zhongwu seemed to have changed a little these days and was no longer as casual as usual.

"How are you, brothers?" Lin Zhongyun immediately looked at him and asked.

"There is nothing unusual." Li Zhongwu said directly: "Although many people are talking about the court releasing grain, I listened carefully and found that most people were dismissive of it."

After hearing this, Lin Zhongyun finally felt relieved.

Sure enough, compared to those refugees who had never followed him, these refugees who had gradually adapted to the reclamation order were more inclined towards him.

"Brother, when will our army mobilize?"

As if he was used to the continuous siege, Li Zhongwu asked this question directly as he had done several times before.

But Lin Zhongyun simply shook his head: "No hurry, let the brothers take a rest."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the court's movements and wait for my orders."

Hearing this, Li Zhongwu immediately nodded, bowed to Lin Zhongyun, and walked out.

But before he walked out the door.

Lin Zhongyun suddenly called out to him.

"Second brother, wait."

As Lin Zhongyun spoke, he handed the body-building method he had already taken out to Li Zhongwu.

"Practice this book according to the diagram."

Li Zhongwu is the most loyal person among his subordinates. As his power grows, the opponents he faces are no longer the same as before, and Li Zhongwu is no longer able to look down on everyone as he did before.

Whether out of Li Zhongwu's loyalty or for his own sake, it is necessary to make him stronger.

He had memorized all the postures of this body-building technique, so he might as well give it to Li Zhongwu to practice together.

Seeing this, Li Zhongwu's face immediately showed doubt, but he immediately nodded, took over the body-building technique, and bowed to Lin Zhongyun.
"Thank you, brother."
