Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 276 Mutiny Before Enthronement
Just when Su Yi's spine was healed by the system, Du Hong, the clone who had been by his side after Su Yi was injured, suddenly broke into Su Yi's bedroom.

Seeing Su Yi stand up by himself, Du Hong was happy at first, but then said to Su Yi anxiously: "Master, just got the news that the former commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, Cai Shu'an, announced that the eldest prince is usurping the throne and plotting rebellion. The prince has the qualifications to inherit the throne, and from now on, the nine states under the Northwest Military Region will form the Northwest Rebel Army to send troops to fight against the eldest prince who usurped the throne and plotted against him."

When Su Yi heard this, he couldn't help sighing and said to Fan Shuirou next to him: "It seems that even if I don't take action, the people of the Han Kingdom will inevitably experience another war."

With a sound of "Pacha--", the eldest prince Liu Jiarui slammed a delicate teacup in his hand to the ground. This torn teacup can reflect how bad Liu Jiarui is in his current mood.

Originally, tomorrow morning, Liu Jiarui would hold the enthronement ceremony and be crowned the king of the Han Kingdom, but on the first day of the enthronement ceremony, the Northwest Military Region of the Han Kingdom reversed.

The National Defense Forces of the Han Kingdom consisted of five major military regions, including the Northeast Military Region, Southeast Military Region, Southwest Military Region, Northwest Military Region, and Tianjing Military Region.

Among them, the Northeast Military Region has jurisdiction over thirteen states, the Southeast Military Region has jurisdiction over [-] states, the Southwest Military Region has jurisdiction over eight states, the Northwest Military Region has jurisdiction over nine states, and the Tianjing Military Region has jurisdiction over Tianjing City and five states.

Originally, after the eldest prince Liu Jiarui launched a coup, the generals who had defected to him had already taken over the military power of the five major military regions. Cai Shuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, did not belong to the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, so Cai Shuan was sent to join the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui. The chief of staff, Chen Zhihao, sent someone to secretly imprison him, waiting for the eldest prince Liu Jiarui to deal with him.

To the great prince Liu Jiarui's surprise, Cai Shu'an, who had already been imprisoned, was able to counterattack and launch a mutiny, directly killing Chen Zhihao, the chief of staff of the Northwest Military Region, and other generals of the Northwest Military Region who had defected to the eldest prince Liu Jiarui. Now the military power of the Northwest Military Region has not only returned to Cai Shu'an's hands, Cai Shu'an has even publicly stood up and declared that the eldest prince Liu Jiarui has usurped the throne and plotted rebellion, and even formed some kind of Northwest Rebel Army.

Yang Guanghao, who has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Dahan Army, saw the angry look of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, and couldn't help persuading him: "Your Highness, calm down. Although Cai Shu'an has regained control of the Northwest Military Region Command, he may not make the Northwest Military Region The four mechanized infantry divisions, thirty light infantry divisions, four armored tank brigades and two air force divisions all followed his orders to fight against His Highness."

After a pause, Yang Guanghao continued: "And even if all the troops of the Northwest Military Region are under Cai Shu'an's command, just relying on the strength of the Tianjing Military Region is enough to wipe out the entire Northwest Military Region."

According to the establishment of the Dahan National Defense Force, a mechanized infantry division of the Dahan Army consists of tank regiments, motorized infantry brigades, artillery regiments, and air defense regiments, with about 5000 personnel.

The light infantry division of the Dahan Army generally has three infantry brigades mainly composed of infantry, with about 2 personnel.

The armored tank brigade uses tanks and armored vehicles as its main combat weapons. Each armored tank brigade of the Dahan Army has about 1 people.

An air division of the Dahan Air Force has about [-] fighter jets under its jurisdiction. Currently, it belongs to the two air divisions of the Northwest Military Region of the Dahan National Defense Force, equipped with a total of more than [-] fourth-generation fighter jets.

Among the five major military regions of the Han National Defense Force, the Tianjing Military Region has the smallest territory, but its strength is among the best. Currently, the Tianjing Military Region has ten mechanized infantry divisions, 36 light infantry divisions, ten armored tank brigades and seven air force divisions The Dahan Air Force has a total of more than 700 fourth-generation fighters and more than [-] third-generation fighters, of which more than [-] fourth-generation fighters are in the sequence of the Tianjing Military Region.

The eldest prince Liu Jiarui took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and said to Yang Guanghao in a deep voice: "Immediately contact the division commanders of the divisions in the Northwest Military Region and the commanders of the four armored tank brigades, and try to send as many troops as possible to the Northwest Military Region." The troops won over to our side, and the conditions for those division commanders and brigade commanders in the Northwest Military Region can be set higher. We must use the shortest time to quell this mutiny in the Northwest Military Region.”

Yang Guanghao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I think many of the division commanders and brigade commanders in the Northwest Military Region are unwilling to go to the dark side with Cai Shuan. I estimate that Cai Shuan can hold one third of the troops in the Northwest Military Region and join him." It's not easy for those who seek rebellion...no, it's the rebel army."

Yang Guanghao was about to say the word "discussing against the army", but fortunately he changed his words in time.

The eldest prince Liu Jiarui then said to Yang Guanghao: "You immediately dispatch some troops from the Tianjing Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, and the Southwest Military Region, and prepare to enter the Northwest Kyushu to counter the rebellion."

The southeast military region of the Han National Defense Army does not border the northwest military region, so the eldest prince Liu Jiarui is planning to mobilize troops from the Tianjing military region, the northeast military region, and the southwest military region to quell the mutiny in the northwest military region.

After a pause, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui continued: "In addition, the Northeast Military Region and the Southwest Military Region and the Southeast Military Region should also be closely monitored, and these three military regions should secretly escort those senior officers who have not taken refuge with me to Tianjing City as soon as possible to avoid recurrence. Something like the Northwest Military Region."

As soon as the eldest prince Liu Jiarui finished speaking, Xu Hao, the commander of the royal guard, walked into the study room where the eldest prince Liu Jiarui and the commander-in-chief of the Han army Yang Guanghao were located.

When the eldest prince Liu Jiarui saw Xu Hao rushing into the study, he couldn't help feeling tense. He had a premonition that something must have happened again.

Sure enough, as expected by the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, Xu Hao brought him a very bad news as soon as he opened his mouth, "Your Highness, it's not good, Zhang Lewei, the former commander of the Northeast Military Region, also launched a mutiny and took back the Northeast Military Region Command. Half an hour ago, Zhang Lewei announced that His Highness is not eligible to inherit the throne, and that the Northeast Military Region will be separated from the National Defense Forces from today to form the Northeast Rebellion Army, which will soon go south to crusade against His Highness."

"Crack——" the angry eldest prince Liu Jiarui, hearing the news brought by the commander of the royal guard Xu Hao, couldn't help breaking another delicate teacup, "Where is Li Zhongyi? What does he eat? Isn't Zhang Lewei already Was he caught?"

Li Zhongyi is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region. Before the eldest prince Liu Jiarui launched a coup, Li Zhongyi had already joined Liu Jiarui. Before that, Li Zhongyi had been appointed as the new commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region by the National Defense Forces Headquarters.

Xu Hao, the commander of the royal guard, said with a wry smile: "It seems that some low-level officers of the Northeast Military Region Command launched the mutiny first, and then rescued the former Northeast Military Region Commander-in-Chief Zhang Lewei. Shot dead."

The eldest prince Liu Jiarui's complexion became very ugly. After all, tomorrow is a good day for him to ascend the throne, but on the first day of his ascension, he received the bad news that there was a mutiny in the two major military regions of the Han National Defense Army. This blockage can be added deep enough.

As one of the five major military regions of the Han National Defense Force, the Northeast Military Region has five mechanized infantry divisions, 32 light infantry divisions, five armored tank brigades, and two air force divisions. Its overall strength is even higher than that of the Northwest Military Region.

If only a mutiny occurred in the Northwest Military Region, although the eldest prince Liu Jiarui was very angry, he would not think that the mutiny in the Northwest Military Region would affect the overall situation. However, in addition to the mutiny in the Northeast Military Region, the pressure in the eldest prince Liu Jiarui's heart suddenly surge.

After the eldest prince Liu Jiarui pondered for a long time, he said to Yang Guanghao, the commander-in-chief of the Dahan Army: "Order all the troops in the Tianjing Military Region to immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and at the same time send a telegram to He Jianbin in the Southeast Military Region and Lin Yongqing in the Southwest Military Region, asking them to It is necessary to strengthen the control of the Southeast Military Region Command and the Southwest Military Region Command. We must be careful that someone initiates a mutiny. In addition, we must contact the division commanders of the Northeast Military Region and the brigade commanders of the five armored tank brigades as soon as possible. Get it too."

He Jianbin was originally the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and Lin Yongqing was originally the Chief of Staff of the Southwest Military Region. The two of them also joined the eldest prince Liu Jiarui early on, and now they are both appointed by the eldest prince Liu Jiarui as the commander-in-chief of the military region.

At this moment, Yang Guanghao hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, will tomorrow's enthronement ceremony still be held as scheduled?"

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, "The enthronement ceremony is held normally, and some rebels will not be able to shake our Han Kingdom!"

Just when the eldest prince Liu Jiarui received the news that there was also a mutiny in the Northeast Military Region, cheers erupted in a war room of the Northwest Military Region Command thousands of kilometers away.

Cai Shuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, looked at the cheering staff officers in the operation room, and couldn't help turning his head and smiling to Li Guangyuan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region: "Now the Northeast Military Region has also announced that it will temporarily leave the National Defense Forces and form the Northeast Rebellion Army, which can be regarded as a relief for us. The Northwest Military Region is under a lot of pressure."

Li Guangyuan, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, said with a sigh: "Although our Northwest Military Region has announced the establishment of the Northwest Rebellion Army, the units under the Northwest Military Region currently only have two mechanized infantry divisions, ten light infantry divisions, and two armored tank brigades. It is clear that they will join the Northwest Rebellion Army, and other army units are still waiting to see. The two air divisions belonging to our Northwest Military Region refused to join the Northwest Rebellion Army because they did not receive orders from the Air Force Headquarters. Now the Northeast Military Region has also formed The defeat of the Northeast Rebellion Army will definitely prompt more division commanders and brigade commanders who are waiting to join the Northwest Rebel Army."

Cai Shu'an, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, hesitated and said, "I'm going to talk to Lao Chen. If Lao Chen can be reconciled, the situation of our Northwest rebel army will be better. Many division commanders who are still on the sidelines And the brigade commander, they were all single-handedly promoted by Old Chen."

Li Guangyuan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, nodded and said: "I think it's ok. Although Lao Chen took refuge in the eldest prince, he didn't treat us old brothers harshly. It shows that Lao Chen still cares about the affection of us old brothers. This time the eldest prince not only launched a coup in an attempt to usurp the throne, but even planned to abolish the constitutional monarchy and re-implement a centralized monarchy. This is unpopular for the eldest prince, and he will be eliminated by the torrent of history. I hope that Lao Chen will find his way back. Fight side by side with our old brothers again, and let our Han Kingdom return to the right path."

In the middle of the night on October [-], Cai Shuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, came to the confinement room where Chen Zhihao, the chief of staff of the Northwest Military Region, was held in the headquarters of the Northwest Military Region.

Cai Shu'an saw Chen Zhihao, who was a bit depressed, and couldn't help sighing, "Old Chen, why did you get mixed up with the eldest prince? Haven't you heard the rumor? The eldest prince is probably not from the blood of the Han royal family!"

Chen Zhihao said with a wry smile: "Old Cai, I'm ashamed! I was knocked down by the sugar-coated bullets of the eldest prince. In front of money and beauties, I didn't stand up, and I lost my life at the end of the year. Sigh——"

Cai Shu'an immediately said: "Just today, Zhang Lewei, the commander of the Northeast Military Region, also regained control of the overall situation of the Northeast Military Region, and immediately announced that he would not recognize the legitimacy of the eldest prince's succession to the throne, and formed the Northeast Rebellion Army. Now there are two of the five major military regions. One is out of the control of the eldest prince, and the twelve most powerful aircraft carrier fleets in the navy should still be in the hands of the son-in-law Su Yi, Lao Chen, there is still time for you to turn your back on it."

Chen Zhihao said dejectedly: "Before the eldest prince launched the coup, he sent people to bring my family to Tianjing City. If I dare to betray the eldest prince, my family will definitely suffer. The eldest prince even Commander-in-Chief Sun said Kill it, kill it, not even Commander-in-Chief Sun's family."

The Commander-in-Chief that Chen Zhihao mentioned was Sun Mingwu, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces.

Cai Shu'an didn't wrinkle slightly and said, "Old Chen, you'd better think about it again. If you don't stand up, you should be very clear about what will happen to you after the eldest prince collapses."

The corners of Chen Zhihao's mouth moved slightly, and then he sighed and said, "Lao Cai, you better stop trying to persuade me, I can't just watch my family members being killed by the eldest prince, can I?"

Cai Shu'an thought for a while and then whispered in Chen Zhihao's ear: "Old Chen, you'd better think about your own life now, not to mention you don't only have those two sons, I know you have two illegitimate children."

The muscles on Chen Zhihao's face twitched, "Old Cai, we are old brothers for many years, you don't really want to attack me!"

"Old Chen, in the Northwest Military Region, or the Northwest Rebel Army, there are some things that I can't say alone. Although you haven't dealt with us old brothers before, the blood on your hands is not bad." few."

When Cai Shuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, left the confinement room, Chen Zhihao, the chief of staff of the Northwest Military Region, followed him out of the confinement room.
