Chapter 144: He, Lin Ziran, is not a supporting role

On the same day, Lin Ziran finally returned to Qingshan Town with his troops in the evening.

The journey was smooth sailing, and there were no accidents, which once made Lin Ziran wonder if it was too calm.

Could it be that Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin are so honest and peaceful, watching themselves leave?

However, Luo Mazi's words reminded him: "Now that the two of them are busy fighting, how can they have time to pay attention to us!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Ziran suddenly realized, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

I always think that I am the protagonist of this world, and the operation of this world should revolve around me, and there should be all kinds of good or bad things to come to my door in three days, and then let myself be in the limelight, otherwise how can I be the protagonist of this world.

However, it is clear that the world does not revolve around itself.

Now the protagonists in Luo'an County are the Cheng family, the Jian family and Feng Haozhong, who are several military powerful generals, and he Lin Ziran is just a small character.

Even today, in this place, the protagonists are Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin, the two children of the Qing family, and he Lin Ziran is just a bystander.

It's just that although the reality is so, it makes Lin Ziran feel weird.

Because it doesn't feel good to be a supporting role.

This feeling is the same as in the past few months, this world is very lively, but he Lin Ziran can only shrink in Qingshan Town to train the army and dig oil, not to mention the whole world, even for Luo'an County, he has no sense of existence.

In the past half a month, because of the attraction of many people, Lin Ziran has found the feeling of the protagonist again, the feeling of being valued and co-opted by many forces, as if the whole world revolves around him, is really cool.

Now, however, it was as if it had returned to the source.

Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin are now playing lively, and other forces are also making their debuts, but they have to continue to nest in Qingshan Town, and they can't even fight Sanyang Town for the time being.

Lin Ziran doesn't like this feeling!

He's ready to change that!

So after returning to Qingshan Town, he was not idle, but continued to discuss with Wu Guanlin and them the battle plan for the second expedition to Sanyang Town.

Although today's plan to go to Sanyang Town was abandoned halfway, Sanyang Town still has to be won.

As soon as Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin got out, he immediately took his men and horses back to Sanyang Town again, and he must control Sanyang Ferry, an important inland port with foreign relations.

On the morning of the next day, Lin Ziran's reconnaissance cavalry left near Sanyang Town reported that the Sixth Brigade had rushed to Sanyang Town since yesterday afternoon, and the Provisional Brigade had intercepted it with cavalry as the vanguard force, and the main force of the Seventh Regiment followed up and pinned down.

Immediately, the men and horses of the two sides fought many battles around Sanyang Town, and the fighting was very fierce, with cavalry, artillery, and infantry all going into battle, and suffering heavy casualties.

At noon, the scouts reported again, saying that this morning, the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade continued to fight in Sanyang Town, and the Sixth Brigade wanted to break through the defensive line to seize the docks and ships to escape, and the Provisional Brigade wanted to hold the defensive line to prevent them from passing.

The fighting between the two sides was very fierce, and it was thought that the heavy shelling of both sides even destroyed many buildings in the town.

Then Ding Quankun also came over, and said to Lin Ziran with a worried face: "Our company's branch in Sanyang Town has a lot of employees, and I don't know how the situation is coming, and our warehouse in Sanyang Town has at least 500 barrels of kerosene. ”

Needless to say than Ding Quankun, Lin Ziran is also worried.

Tsingshan Petroleum Company has a lot of employees in Sanyang Town, and there are a lot of kerosene reserves in the sea, which is still a trivial matter, but the key thing is that the war has broken out in Sanyang Town, and the kerosene transportation has been forced to stop.

Seeing that the carriage transporting kerosene in the factory was parked in the open space and doing nothing, while the warehouse next door was constantly increasing the refined kerosene, which made Lin Ziran very sad.

It's all money.

If the kerosene is not transported out for a day, he will have to lose tens of thousands.

If the war in Sanyo Town is not over, he will not only lose tens of thousands of dollars a day, but more importantly, it will seriously affect his kerosene trade.

After all, the kerosene trade is in very high demand, and the production is limited, and from the beginning, the kerosene of Tsingshan Petroleum Company was refined and sold every day, and it would not keep stocks.

Because this thing is actually a bulk cargo, if it is refined and not sold, but stored, the storage cost alone is not a small amount.

Before, he thought that the fight between the Jian family and the Cheng family was his business, but now it seems that it really has something to do with him.

They affect themselves to make money.

Later that evening, the scouts reported again that the fighting was going on in Sanyo Town. The employees of the Castle Peak Petroleum Company have successfully withdrawn from the town and gone to the suburbs to escape the fighting.

In addition, the kerosene warehouse was relatively safe and was not affected by the fighting between the two sides.

After all, kerosene itself is a dangerous good, so when the warehouse was set up, it was not set up in the town, but on the edge of the Luo River outside the town, thousands of meters away from the wharf, and there is even a small wharf dedicated to loading and unloading kerosene.

The kerosene depot is some distance away from the heart of the warring sides, the town of Sanyo Town.

This news made Lin Ziran feel a lot more at ease.

But it's not a problem for the two of them to continue to fight like this!

The next morning, Lin Ziran just got up and called Wu Guanlin over: "Is there any news from Sanyang Town?" ”

Luo Mazi said: "There is news coming, they are still fighting!" ”

Lin Ziran's face sank when he heard this: "It's the third day, and they haven't decided the winner yet?" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "No, but looking at them like this, it is estimated that it will be soon, our reconnaissance report shows that the casualties of the men and horses on both sides are very heavy, and no matter who wins or loses, they can't hold out for too long." ”

Lin Ziran sat down, his fingers habitually tapped on the armrest, and then said, "What are their deaths and injuries?" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "We can't know the specific situation, but judging from the information collected by the reconnaissance cavalry, the Sixth Brigade has suffered more than seven or eight hundred casualties, and the temporary brigade is estimated to have killed or injured five or six hundred people. ”

Lin Ziran said: "Look at these casualties, they won't be able to hold out for long, continue to monitor, and let the troops be ready to take over Sanyang Town at any time!" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "Yes." ”
