Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 341 Sending the General to the Outskirts of Hanchuan City

Chen Yisan couldn't help but laugh after hearing Liu Feiyun's concerns:

"Liu Feiyun, Liu Feiyun! What can I say about you? You took away all those who wanted to follow you. Doesn't that just show your loyalty to His Majesty?"

Liu Fei opened his mouth wide, even more puzzled: I am trying to steal the empire's talents, how can this be considered loyalty to the emperor? ?

You know, most of those who want to follow Liu Feiyun are middle and lower-level military officers.

Most of them were slaves rescued by Liu Feiyun before the establishment of the Zhenhuang Army. They included both Chen people and barbarians.

In their eyes, Liu Feiyun is the great benefactor who changed their destiny and rebuilt their lives.

At the same time, they are also the group of people who are most willing to repay Liu Feiyun with their lives. Otherwise, they would not give up their bright future and continue to follow Liu Feiyun.

But for Liu Feiyun, the people in his own student camp can be trained to become senior officers or even generals, while the Yunhu Camp is composed of elite soldiers, but it lacks middle and lower-level officers.

And these followers who came voluntarily just made up for the shortcomings in his future military expansion.

But for the imperial court, wasn't this an attempt to rebel? How could it be considered a show of loyalty?

Seeing Liu Feiyun's puzzled look, Chen Yisan chuckled and explained:

"You are still too young. Think about it carefully. Should these people follow you to Anping County and be trapped in a corner, or should they continue to stay in the army and continue to develop, plotting to gain greater military power? Which situation will make Your Majesty feel more at ease?"

"Although the Zhenhuang Army is about to be dismembered, it is very likely to be arranged as a whole into the Imperial Army and local army."

"Although the Zhenhuang Army now has only tens of thousands of people and was established not long ago, it is, after all, a combat-ready army that has participated in the Northern Expedition and suppressed the rebellion and has been baptized by bloody battles."

"Once incorporated into the local army, it is very likely to become the main force in the various units in the future, and will be able to influence hundreds of thousands or even millions of people."

"If these people continue to stay in the army and develop, and if you decide to rebel one day, and then raise your arms and call for action, think about it, will Your Majesty be able to feel at ease?"

"And now that you've taken all these people away, it means that you no longer have much influence on the people of the Desertification Suppression Army."

"What's more, with half of Anping County controlled by you, the Liu family, how many troops can you support? What basis do you have for rebellion? Besides, will you, the Liu family, really rebel?"

After listening to this, Liu Feiyun suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but say happily, "So, if I take these people away, His Majesty may not be reluctant. He may even be pleased to see it!"

Chen Yisan nodded and said, "That's right. As long as you control the quantity and pay enough, even if someone wants to make a fuss about this matter in the future, His Majesty will not blame them."

Liu Feiyun further asked: "Control the quantity!? I wonder what the father-in-law thinks I should control the quantity to?"

Chen Yisan was not impatient, but patiently explained: "The total number of people you can take with you should not exceed the upper limit of one battalion. After all, as an earl, the upper limit of the number of private soldiers you can have is only this many."

"With your father and son commanding two private armies, plus the Anping County militia, a few thousand men should be enough to protect you! If there are more, His Majesty will really become suspicious."

Liu Feiyun bowed and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Chen, for your guidance."

Chen Yisan laughed and said, "What are you talking about! After all, we worked together in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, not to mention that Mr. Chen and your father have a special relationship."

"We are family, so there is no need to talk about different things. You should hurry up and make a good selection."

Liu Feiyun did what he said and soon spread the news that he was ashamed of the love of the soldiers. If anyone really wanted to continue to follow him, then please sell yourself as a slave and become a real member of his Liu family, so that he can report to his superiors.

Liu Beiyun thought that if someone really wanted to follow him, then they would not mind becoming a private slave of the Liu family.

But if there really is someone with ulterior motives who wants to get close to him, I don't think he would be willing to do that.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, more than half of those who expressed their desire to continue following Liu Feiyun left immediately.

After another round of screening, Liu Feiyun accepted hundreds of people and fully staffed the Yunhu Camp.

Of course, in order to be able to take these people away and bring along the necessary weapons, armor and horses, Liu Feiyun also spent a large sum of money.

This includes fees that must be paid according to court laws, as well as bribes to relevant officials.

After several days of preparation, Liu Feiyun finally set off.

On this day, countless people from Hanchuan City took to the streets to see Liu Feiyun off.

Because they knew that if Liu Feiyun's Zhenhuang Army did not come to their rescue in time, once the Barefoot Army broke through Hanchuan City, their lives and property might not be saved!

In this regard, Liu Feiyun could only sigh that he really did not have the strength to care about their safety anymore.

After leaving the city, Liu Feiyun saw countless Zhenhuang Army soldiers lined up solemnly outside the city gate, waiting for his final inspection.

The Zhenhuang Army, the legion he founded, is about to be disbanded, and soon, they will go their separate ways and seek development.

"If I don't desert and continue to lead this army, maybe the Zhenhuang Army can become a strong army!"

"But even if the empire has one more powerful army, what's the point! The current Chen Dynasty is rotten to the core, and I'm afraid it will disintegrate in a short time! And they will only become tools for the warlords to fight for hegemony!"

Liu Feiyun looked at the team he had personally led and could only sigh in his heart!

"I'm sorry! Dear brothers of the Desertification Suppression Army! Our fate has ended!"

"Respectfully send off the commander-in-chief back home. I wish you a safe journey! Come back home soon!"

I don't know which camp's army started shouting this sentence, but it was repeatedly shouted by the soldiers of the Zhenhuang Army.

Liu Feiyun wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything. He could only return the greeting by clasping his fists again and again while riding on his horse.

After passing the Zhenhuang Army's formation, many barefoot army prisoners who had not yet been taken away knelt on the ground.

Although they have become slaves now, it is better to live in poverty than to die. At least they have preserved their sexuality temporarily.

What's more, their lives can be said to be the ones Liu Feiyun exchanged for his bright future and even his life.

No matter what, Liu Feiyun could be considered to have saved their lives.

Now that Liu Feiyun was going back to his hometown, many barefoot army prisoners of war came to see him off.

Naturally, the Zhenhuang Army soldiers who were guarding them did not stop them.

Liu Feiyun actually had mixed feelings towards them: These were the people that the imperial court was supposed to protect! But now, they were forced to rise up in rebellion by the imperial court!

Alas! How can I, a small lord of a border area, care about all the injustices in the world?

Liu Feiyun whipped his horse and sped away as if he was escaping, with more than 800 people following closely behind him.

"Respectfully send off the commander-in-chief back home. I wish you a safe journey and a speedy return home!"

Outside Hanchuan City, the shouts of tens of thousands of Zhenhuang Army soldiers gradually became hard to hear!
