Chapter 86 Pan Lin's occupational disease has come back
The northern section of Wuyi Mountain in Yuzhang County.
Over the past six months, people from Baiyue have continued to gather here.
Due to the food shortage in Kuaiji County some time ago, it stopped accepting new residents, resulting in these Baiyue people having to gather here.
The female army leader Lanzhi was very worried. According to reports from her subordinates, the total number of Baiyue people who had gathered had exceeded 50,000.
Small-scale riots occur in the settlements every day, and the number of casualties continues to rise.
This is no longer a paradise, it is about to become hell.
What made Lanzhi most sad was that the second team led by Pan Lin not only did not stop it, but instead added fuel to the fire.
Gong Lei's second team had less than fifty members, and they were well-intentioned but powerless.
"Cunning Pan Lin!" Lanzhi snapped off a herb viciously: "Everyone will be better off if he dies."
Unfortunately, Pan Lin was walking on the edge of the red line of betrayal and refused to cross it, making it difficult for Gong Lei to decapitate and seize power.
Now the settlement is divided into three forces. The largest one is the young and strong men headed by Pan Lin, followed by the old and weak faction led by Lan Zhi, and the last is the elite faction led by Gong Lei.
The source of the chaos is Pan Lin.
Due to the overpopulation of the settlement, food has long been insufficient.
The three people had a disagreement over the issue of food.
Lanzhi believes that one should learn from Jinmao and be self-sufficient.
Gong Lei thought that he could rob the scattered powerful families near Nanchang County.
Pan Lin's occupational disease came back, and he had to start paying taxes to the Yuzhang County government.
The Baiyue people worship the strong, and the young and strong men naturally support Pan Lin.
As a result, Nanchang County was in dire straits. A small report was made every month and a big report was made every March. If anyone dared not to pay grain, the city would be attacked.
What? There's no food in the county?
What does the county governor do for a living? Why doesn't he go to other counties to gather food and grass?
The governor of Yuzhang also tried to resist, but what was the use of a group of third-rate county soldiers?
Pan Lin led the second team to charge, with more than 10,000 young and strong men rushing forward behind him, and the 5,000 county soldiers were defeated.
You have to know that the Second Team has experienced several great victories. On the other hand, most of the soldiers in Yuzhang County are newly recruited soldiers. What combat power can they have?
From then on, the prefect of Yuzhang County could only obey Pan Lin.
After Pan Lin returned victorious, he enjoyed unparalleled prestige among the Baiyue people, which directly led to his immense arrogance.
Now Pan Lin dares to make moves on the female soldiers, calling it a marriage between strong forces, but in fact he just covets the 500 sets of sophisticated equipment of the female soldiers.
Fortunately, Gong Lei stopped it in time, preventing Pan Lin from succeeding.
However, as the population of the settlement continued to grow, Lanzhi worried that the day when Pan Lin would succeed might not be far away.
"My Lord, what should I do?"
Lanzhi was confused.
But what needs to be done must still be done.
Lanzhi's reputation among the Baiyue people ranked second because she learned how to treat diseases during this period.
As the saying goes, long illness makes one a doctor. There are casualties in the settlement every day, and with the accumulated experience, they will be able to cure diseases.
If Pan Lin is an invincible general in the hearts of the Baiyue people, then Lanzhi is a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.
It is difficult to tell who is better between the two, but the female army's food and supplies during this period all came from Pan Lin, which made Lan Zhi naturally inferior to him.
As soon as she returned to the settlement, Lanzhi heard that Pan Lin's men had killed someone.
A nameless anger welled up in my heart.
"choke!"
Lanzhi drew her sword, and the female soldiers waved their weapons and shouted, "Kill!"
They have wanted to kill Pan Lin for a long time. Team Two is very strong, but after more than half a year of training, they are confident that they are no worse than Team Two.
"Chief Lan, calm down."
Gong Lei approached while shouting, "No matter how bad Pan Lin is, he has not violated the orders of the Lord. Does Commander Lan want to follow Pan Lin's example and become the leader of Lanjia Village again?"
Lanzhi put away her sword angrily: "Chief Gong, can you bear to watch Pan Lin kill the villagers?"
Gong Lei replied solemnly: "I only obey the orders of the Lord!"
It’s the same answer again, it’s always the same answer, Lanzhi is going crazy.
In fact, Gong Lei was also in pain and entanglement, but Jin Mao did not give him any further detailed guidance. Originally, Gong Lei was a lock for Jin Mao to prevent Pan Lin from rebelling, but now he has become Pan Lin's accomplice, locking up Lanzhi and the female army.
At this moment, someone came to report.
A small group of elite Han cavalry broke into the settlement, some of whom could speak Min Yue and Yao languages, and threatened to meet the two leaders.
Lanzhi and Gong Lei looked at each other, unable to suppress their excitement.
...
Recently, the former commander and deputy commander of the third team, Yang Lin and Huang Xing, were very unhappy.
It was obvious that many brothers had died before they accomplished this great task, but not only did they fail, they also became innocent victims and had to return to the new recruits' camp to accumulate military merits again.
No one can bear this.
Originally, there were many complaints in the army, and Yang Lin and Huang Xing were naturally dissatisfied.
It was not until Bai Shi and other personal guards mocked them for being brainless that Yang Lin and Huang Xing suddenly realized what was going on.
It's just that you have no brains.
Yu Fan is indeed the lord’s confidant, but they are too!
How could one be fooled by Yu Fan's casual words?
Later, after hearing their lord's explanation, the two men wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves.
Yes, what if the next action endangers the lord and they are unaware of it, it would be despairing to think about it.
The two were convinced and started training again in the underground recruit camp.
At the same time, he also hated He Qi. If he hadn't started the trouble, how could all the brothers' hard work have been in vain?
However, Jin Mao strictly prohibited internal strife, so the two could only endure it.
Until Jin Mao was about to send people to Yuzhang County to look for the second team and the female army.
The two of them grabbed the task without hesitation.
He Qi also wanted to snatch it at that time, but the guilt in his heart made him give up.
In fact, he felt even more miserable.
A bright future was clearly beckoning him, but he encountered this kind of thing.
This is good too, as it can be considered as repaying Yu Fan for recommending me.
Next, He Qi prepared to catch up. It was just a matter of slowly climbing up from the recruit camp. He had the confidence to do so.
On the other side, seeing that He Qi gave up halfway, Yang Lin and Huang Xing slightly let go of their prejudice against He Qi.
The two led ten riders, ready to search for the target from twelve directions.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving Kuaiji County, the twelve people gathered together again, and all the clues along the way pointed to the same place.
This is a good thing!
The twelve riders rode at full speed and reached the settlement in just one day and one night.
Before the order could be passed on, a group of ignorant mountain people tried to kill people and steal horses.
The twelve men instantly rolled off their horses, picked up their swords and shields, and formed a circle in perfect harmony.
The other ten were the two's trusted confidants. They were originally the elite members of the Royal Guard and had been trained according to Jin Mao's unique method, always wearing armor.
There were hundreds of mountain folk in this group, but the twelve men showed no fear at all. In a matter of minutes, the mountain folk were killed and scattered.
The twelve men did not chase after them. Some rested, some led the horses, and some rested on the spot. No one was seriously injured, most of them just had some scratches.
Judging from the small part, the original elite team has been reborn and is no longer the mountain people or villagers they once were.
An hour later, there was a noise in the distance, and the sound of whistling all over the mountains and the sound of people bustling.
Yang Lin and Huang Xing became alert instantly. They had not expected that so many Baiyue people would gather just 200 miles west of Taimo County.
For a moment, the two of them were ready to break out at all costs and must tell the Lord Ming the news.
Unexpectedly, the leader holding a mace looked very familiar, and the more than 200 elite soldiers following behind him looked even more familiar. The marching formation was the square formation used in daily training.
"Pan Lin! Are you going to betray the Lord?"
Yang Lin roared, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The more than 200 elite soldiers from the second team behind Pan Lin suddenly came to their senses. They saw that the other party was none other than the captain and deputy captain of the third team. They immediately distanced themselves from Pan Lin and became alert.
Thus, the whole scene was divided into four parts.
Yang Lin and twelve others were on full alert. The second team of more than 200 elite soldiers huddled together and pointed their spears, swords and knives at Pan Lin and the mountain people. The mountain people, who were the largest in number, were at a loss and did not understand what was happening.
The most embarrassed person was Pan Lin. He and a dozen of his confidants were sandwiched between the twelve men and the second team's elite soldiers, unable to advance or retreat.
In the end, Pan Lin could only force out an ugly smile and said, "Captains, long time no see."
