Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 124 The ally who took the initiative to seek refuge

Su Yi didn't know that there was a potential ally, the Noomi Empire, who was preparing to expand the strength of its army and put more military pressure on the Sharad Empire in the border area adjacent to the Sharad Empire. At that time, Su Yi was receiving another ally of the Su family army, a representative sent by the Wei family, a descendant of the Tang royal family.

On the afternoon of July 3012th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in a study room of the governor's mansion in Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province in the Ziyue Empire, Wei Jingrong smiled and said to Su Yi: "I didn't expect to see you in just over a year. Under your leadership, Xiao Yi, it has grown so powerful that it can even compete with the Sharad Empire in the territory of the Cangyu Empire!"

Su Yi smiled slightly, "Uncle, you must have traveled all the way to Kangshui City this time to compliment me, right?"

Wei Jingrong's expression suddenly became a little dignified, "Xiaoyi, I came to Kangshui City this time to represent the entire Wei family. I hope to change the alliance between our Wei family and the Su family army into a subordinate relationship. In the future, I am willing to follow Xiaoyi's lead!"

Wei Jingrong's words made Su Yi stunned. Regarding the Wei family, Su Yi has always been on guard. The 200 members of the Wei family who entered the Su family army at the beginning were always assigned by Su Yi to the one stationed in Xingang City. In the Guards Infantry Regiment, except for the 200 members of the Wei family, the rest of the thousands of officers and soldiers are biochemical humans.

As for the 200 members of the Wei family who entered the independent fleet of the Su family army at the beginning, they were dispersed by Su Yi to several former dreadnought battleships and several armored battleships. The children of the Wei family who served on several ironclad battleships were killed.

According to Su Yi's arrangement, it can be said that even if the Wei family had something in mind for the Su family army, the Wei family would not have any chance.

"Uncle, Ming people don't speak dark words. Didn't the Wei family always hope to restore the country? Why did you suddenly want to join our Su family army? Uncle, you have to understand that I am not a child of the Wei family. If your Wei family has any plans for the Su family army , I advise the Wei family to give up such thoughts as soon as possible!"

Wei Jingrong hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi, the Wei family sincerely came to rely on you this time. Of course, the reason why the Wei family made such a choice is also inseparable from the powerful strength that the Su family army has displayed today."

After a pause, Wei Jingrong continued: "According to the situation of the Wei family, it is very slim to hope to restore the country, and it should be said that there is no hope at all. With the current strength of the Su family army, Xiaoyi, you will be able to establish your own country sooner or later. The only requirement for the Wei family to seek refuge with the Su family army is to hope that when Xiao Yi establishes the country, he can use Datang as the name of the country!"

Su Yi hesitated for a while and said: "If the Su family army can drive the army of the Sharad Empire out of the territory of the Cangyu Empire, then it is logical to annex the Cangyu Empire. It is also possible to replace the Cangyu Empire with the Tang Empire, but the Wei family takes refuge Su Family Army, what benefits can our Su Family Army get?"

Hearing that Su Yi was a little relieved, Wei Jingrong couldn't help but show excitement on his face, "Xiaoyi, our Wei family is willing to contribute 100 million British pounds in cash and give it to you to control as you please, and we are also willing to give [-]% of our Wei family The four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields that are controlled by the Wei family are all contributed to the Su family army. The four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields can be said to be the most valuable industries of the Wei family, and they can be worth almost [-] million in total. British dollars!"

Su Yi was taken aback by the big money of the Wei family. With [-] million pounds in cash, plus four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields worth [-] million pounds, the Wei family is as rich as an enemy country. Not too much.

"Uncle, does your Wei family really only have that one request?"

"Xiao Yi, the Wei family really only has one request. After all, you also have the blood of the Great Tang royal family. If you can re-establish a Great Tang Empire, it is equivalent to fulfilling our Wei family's millennium long-cherished wish. Those of our Wei family The children can also be regarded as having an explanation to the ancestors."

"Since this is the case, there is no reason for me not to agree. I can promise to the Wei family that once I, Su Yi, establish a country, it will be named after the Great Tang Empire!"

That night, after Su Yi told He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen that the Wei family wanted to join the Su family's army, both He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen agreed to accept the Wei family's refuge, or accept the big pie sent by the Wei family.

Su Yi said worriedly: "I always feel that the Wei family's move will never be so simple. The Wei family must have some plans, which I did not expect."

He Yunfei smiled and said: "Don't worry, Commander. Even if the Wei family has some schemes, it probably won't affect the Commander in the slightest. After all, among the Su Family Army, there are almost 100 million officers and soldiers who are 100% loyal to the Commander. With this With 100 million loyal officers and soldiers, whether it is the army of the Su family army or the independent fleet of the Su family army, the military power will always be in the hands of the commander-in-chief."

Cheng Ziwen then said: "Commander, there are only a few hundred members of the Wei family in the Su family's army, and they are all low-level officers. They can't make waves."

Su Yi suddenly showed a slight smile and said: "Don't worry about what the Wei family has planned, just take the benefits in your hands and talk about it. If the Wei family makes any troubles in the future, I don't mind a righteous extermination!"

Three days later, Wei Jingrong, on behalf of the Wei family, delivered [-] million British dollars in cash, as well as the title deeds and share documents for four gold mines, six silver mines, and five oil fields to Su Yi himself.

In a mansion in Xintong City, the capital of the Liuyun Empire’s Yuejiang Province, Wei Jingrong’s elder brother Wei Jingsheng walked into the study of Wei Bozhao, the head of the Wei family, with a telegram, “Father, the second brother sent back the telegram, and the [-] million British dollars, and those land deeds and share documents were handed over to Su Yi."

Wei Bozhao gently put an ancient book in his hand on the table, nodded slowly and said: "I hope that Su Yi can live up to expectations, defeat the army of the Sharad Empire, capture the entire Cangyu Empire, and rebuild Let all nations come to court and all barbarians worship the magnificent Tang Dynasty!"

Wei Jingsheng couldn't help but said at this time: "Father, our Wei family has worked hard for more than 1000 years to restore the country. Is it just for the sake of the name of the Tang Dynasty?"

Wei Bozhao shook his head and said, "Father, I know what you mean. In fact, many of the Wei family's children probably can't understand why our Wei family has to pay such a high price just for the name of Great Tang?"

Wei Jingsheng nodded and said: "That's true. I really don't understand why father and the elders of the family did this? With [-] million British dollars in cash, plus the four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields, It's almost equivalent to half of our Wei family's assets!"

Wei Bozhao smiled slightly, "Jing Sheng, do you think the Su family's army can defeat the Sharad Empire and take the Cangyu Empire?"

Wei Jingsheng pondered for a while, "Father, according to the current strength of the Su family army, it is indeed possible to expel the forces of the Sharad Empire from the Cangyu Empire, so the strength of the Cangyu Empire alone should not be able to stop the annexation of the Su family army. "

"Then Jing Sheng, do you think there is still hope for the recovery of the country based on the strength of our Wei family alone?"

"Father, to be honest, if our Wei family relies on ourselves alone, the hope of restoring the country is very slim. It can even be said that there is no chance at all. If the restoration of the country is easy, our Wei family will not wait for thousands of years."

Wei Bozhao sighed and said, "That's right! Even though the Liuyun Empire is suffering internally and externally, our Wei family still has no hope of restoring our country, so we decided to take the train of the Su family's army for the sake of our father and several elders. Egg!"

"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs? What does father mean?"

"If Su Yi establishes a country, he will definitely lack all kinds of talents. This is a good opportunity for our Wei family to rise. Once our Wei family can become a pivotal family in the new Datang Empire, then our Wei family can slowly accumulate strength. The reason why the Tang Empire fell apart was because of the rebellion of the four Dukes."

"Father, according to this line of thinking, maybe our Wei family will have to wait for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years."

"Our Wei family has been waiting for more than 1000 years, so what if we wait for another 1000 years! The most important thing now is to let the children of our Wei family in various places join the Su family army as soon as possible. Kangshuicheng, no matter what position Su Yi arranges for you, you must do your best."

Wei Jingsheng smiled wryly, "Father, I'm almost fifty this year, so I don't need to go to Kangshui City?"

Wei Bozhao said decisively: "Jing Sheng, you are the next patriarch of the Wei family. In order to show the sincerity of our Wei family, you must go to Kangshui City. If it is not because of your father's health, you must also go to Kangshui City in person for your father. Su Yi is here, and when you go to Kangshui City, bring Zifang and Ziyi with you."

"Father, you want Zifang and Ziyi to..."

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a long time, the old man has been treating Zifang and Ziyi as his granddaughters all these years, and let them live like princesses. Now it's time for them to contribute to the Wei family!"

Wei Jingsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, those two boys Ning Yuan and Ning Qiu like Zifang and Ziyi very much."

The Ning Yuan and Ning Qiu mentioned by Wei Jingsheng are both Wei Jingsheng's own sons.

Wei Bozhao snorted coldly, "Jing Sheng, the personal relationship between children, compared with our Wei family's great cause of restoring the country, which one is more important?"

"Father, of course the restoration of the country is important!"

"Then why are you still here? Hurry up and pack up your things and prepare to take Zifang and Ziyi to Kangshui City. Our Wei family needs to use Zifang and Ziyi to maintain our relationship with Su Yi!"

At this time, in a room in the backyard of the Wei family mansion, a girl with the beauty of the city and the country said anxiously to another beautiful girl who was carved out of the same mold: "Sister, why don't we go and ask Grandpa?" !"

The pair of sisters in the room are twins. The elder sister is called Wei Zifang and the younger sister is Wei Ziyi. Their biological father belongs to the family of the Wei family. When the sisters were very young, their mother died of illness. When they were five years old, their father In order to protect the patriarch Wei Bozhao was killed by robbers again.

In the end, Wei Bozhao saw that although Wei Zifang and Wei Ziyi were young, they were beautiful women, and the father of the two sisters was killed by the robbers to protect him, so Wei Bozhao accepted Wei Zifang in front of many clansmen. The two sisters Zifang and Wei Ziyi are god-granddaughters, and now the two sisters are married, and they have grown into a pair of beautiful and beautiful beauties.

Wei Zifang smiled wryly and said to Wei Ziyi: "Ziyi, it's useless, it was Grandpa's idea to let us go to Kangshui City."

Wei Ziyi immediately said discouraged: "Sister, are we really going to be that Su Yi's concubine?"

"Ziyi, grandpa has raised our sisters for so many years just for today, do we sisters have the right to object?"

Seeing her younger sister Wei Ziyi's depressed face, Wei Zifang forced a smile and said, "Ziyi, Su Yi seems to be only 22 years old this year, and is about the same age as our sisters. What a bad old man! What's more, the Su family army under Su Yi's command is so powerful that it almost loses its temper after beating the Sharad Empire, maybe our sisters can become the concubines of the founding emperor in the future!"
