Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 319 Secret Actions

When the army under Su Yi took over Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County and Huining County abandoned by the Ice Lion Army, the Ministry of National Defense of Great Qin immediately organized more than 40 troops to prepare to re-enter Yueyang City. However, when the more than 40 Great Qin Army troops were about to enter Danyan County and Huining County controlled by Su Yi's army, they were stopped by Su Yi's army.

Su Yi, the city defense commander of Yueyang City, immediately sent a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense of the Great Qin State, claiming that the main force of the Ice Lion Army did not leave Yueyang City very far, but retreated to the north of Phoenix Mountain. The shortest distance to Yueyang City is only about forty kilometers. The main force of the Ice Lion Army can cross Phoenix Mountain again at any time to attack Yueyang City.

In order to resist the second attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City, Su Yi has implemented military control in Yueyang City, Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County and Huining County. The three temporary armies are also recruiting as many soldiers as possible. Su Yi is confident that he will lead the three temporary armies under his command to win the next second battle to defend Yueyang City.

As for the hundreds of thousands of army troops sent by the Ministry of National Defense to Yueyang City, Yueyang City does not need them for the time being, and once the hundreds of thousands of army troops transferred by the Ministry of National Defense enter Yueyang City, it will bring great logistical pressure to Yueyang City Therefore, while Su Yi is thanking the Ministry of National Defense, he hopes that the Ministry of National Defense can send these hundreds of thousands of army troops to other domestic battlefields. Yueyang City has three temporary armies under Su Yi's command, which is enough to make Yueyang City as solid as gold. .

At the temporary station of the Ministry of National Defense in Jinzhou City, the capital of Nanjiang Province in the Great Qin State, Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen held the telegram sent by Su Yi in his hand, and said to the other twelve senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense with a gloomy face: "What is the meaning of this telegram from Su Yi?" The content, I think you all already know it, now let’s talk about what kind of strategy our Ministry of National Defense should adopt for Su Yi and Yueyang City."

As soon as Liu Fuchen finished speaking, He Binghui, one of the six deputy ministers of the Ministry of National Defense, said, "I think our Ministry of National Defense should immediately revoke Su Yi's position as the commander of Yueyang city defense, and then the Ministry of National Defense will directly take over the three subordinates under Su Yi's command. I did not agree with giving Su Yi so much power before the temporary army and Yueyang City, Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County and Huining County! Let Su Yi rule the three armies, plus Finally repelling the attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City, it may make that Su Yi a little ignorant!"

At this time, Zhao Zeling, another deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, said in a deep voice: "Su Yi is now a well-known hero in our Great Qin country. If our Ministry of National Defense does too much, the domestic public opinion will definitely not stand on our Ministry of Defense. On this side, and the three temporary armies under Su Yi's command defeated more than 100 million Ice Lions troops who attacked Yueyang City. Their combat effectiveness can be called the crown of our Great Qin Army. The Ministry can't do anything to him for the time being, not to mention that our Great Qin Kingdom is already standing on the edge of a cliff, and we also need Su Yi to lead his three temporary armies to continue resisting the invasion of the Ice Lion Army."

Yan Degang, one of the five deputy chiefs of staff of the Ministry of National Defense, immediately snorted and said: "Minister Zhao, although Su Yi was born in the No.16 army of the Zhao family, it seems that the Zhao family does not have much influence on Su Yi." Even if you defend Su Yi like this, it will be very difficult for the Zhao family to take Su Yi's three temporary troops into their pocket."

Zhao Zeling glanced at Yan Degang, and said in a steady tone: "Now our Great Qin State is facing the threat of subjugation. At this time, our entire Great Qin State must unite. I speak for Su Yi, but I just don't want our Great Qin State to be in the current situation. Under the crisis, there was also an internal conflict, which allowed those lion tribes in the Ice Lion Kingdom to take advantage of it. If our Great Qin Kingdom can win this war, I would rather have another faction in our Great Qin military."

Chief of Staff Zhou Botao coughed and said: "I don't think Su Yi can be revoked as the city defense commander of Yueyang City for the time being. According to the intelligence department's report, Ice Lion Country is recruiting large-scale reservists. The mechanized infantry divisions and garrison infantry divisions of the imperial guards will be supplemented. After these damaged ice lion country troops are replenished, the ice lion country army will surely launch a second attack on Yueyang City again. We need Su Yi to lead him The three temporary armies of the group will continue to defend Yueyang City."

He Binghui, Deputy Minister of National Defense, frowned and said: "That cannot allow Su Yi to escape from the control of our Ministry of National Defense. I heard that the total strength of the three temporary armies under Su Yi's command has exceeded 80, and Su Yi is still going on. The expansion of the army is clearly on the verge of becoming irreversible."

Next, Sun Hongwei, another deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, frowned and asked: "I don't know if the intelligence department has found out where the weapons, equipment and other materials in Su Yi's hands came from? Will Su Yi die?" Standing with other orc nations?"

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen shook his head and said: "Our intelligence department has never found out the source of the weapons and equipment and a large amount of supplies in Su Yi's hands. Su Yi's explanation for this was obtained through special channels, but Yueyang City is located in our Great Qin State. Even if Su Yi has the support of other orc nations, it is impossible for those weapons and equipment and a large amount of supplies to be transported into Yueyang City, which is also unbelievable."

After a pause, Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen continued: "I think according to the current situation of our Great Qin State, it is best not to take tough measures against Su Yi. After all, Su Yi is not yet 30 years old this year, and he is still young and energetic. Once our Ministry of National Defense is too tough, it might make the situation of our Great Qin State even worse. It is better for the Ministry of National Defense to send an observation team to go to Yueyang City to have a look at the situation and find out what Su Yi really is. What is the attitude."

The proposal of Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen was finally supported by most of the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense, so the Ministry of National Defense ordered the more than 40 Great Qin Army troops preparing to enter Danyan County and Huining County to cancel their plan to support Yueyang City and return to their original location for the time being. the resident.

In addition, the Ministry of National Defense will send an observation team headed by Chief of Staff Zhou Botao and Deputy Minister Zhao Zeling to Yueyang City to reward those who have made great contributions in the defense of Yueyang City, and will also investigate why the defense of Yueyang City can be won reasons and experiences.

After the meeting of the Ministry of National Defense was over, Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, returned to his residence in Jinzhou City. Zhao Lianhong, the commander of the No.20 Second Army of the Daqin Army, hurriedly asked, "Brother, the Ministry of National Defense has finally decided how to deal with Su Yi." ?”

Zhao Lianhong, the commander of the No.20 Second Army, is the cousin of Zhao Zeling, the Deputy Minister of National Defense. The No.20 Second Army is also an elite force in the hands of the Zhao family. Currently, the No.20 Second Army still maintains a full staff of more than [-] people In addition, it is also equipped with many tanks and armored vehicles.

Zhao Zeling said with a gloomy face: "The Ministry of National Defense will not move Su Yi for the time being. After all, there is a threat from the Ice Lion Army. Next, the Ministry of National Defense will send an observation team to Yueyang City. I am the deputy head of the observation team. Chief of the General Staff Zhou Botao is the head of the observation team."

Zhao Lianhong's eyes lit up immediately, "Brother, it may be an opportunity for you to go to Yueyang City this time. If you can win Su Yi into our Zhao family, then our Zhao family will immediately become the most powerful faction in the Great Qin military!"

Zhao Zeling shook his head and said: "Now Su Yi wants money and people, and the three temporary armies under his command have more than 80 troops. How can he submit to our Zhao family? It is obvious that Su Yi has already established himself. A faction's plan."

Zhao Lianhong hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother, since the hope of attracting Su Yi to my Zhao family is very slim, is it possible to recruit those army commanders and division commanders under Su Yi's command, such as those who are temporarily organized into the Second Army under Su Yi's command? Army Commander Wu Youliang turned out to be a member of our Zhao faction."

Zhao Zeling sighed suddenly, "Actually, I don't want to do what you said. You must know that there are dozens of divisions in the Ice Lion Army, but they are stationed in the north of Phoenix Mountain, and they can launch a second attack on Yueyang City at any time." This time a large-scale attack, now that our Zhao family is going to win over the generals under Su Yi's command, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army under Su Yi's command."

No.20 Second Army Commander Zhao Lianhong pondered for a while and said: "Brother, even if our Zhao family does not make a move, the other twelve factions will definitely make a move to win over and buy the generals under Su Yi's command. I heard that Su Yi The weapons and equipment of the army under his command are extremely sophisticated, and if our Zhao family doesn’t get a share of the pie, it’s likely that other factions will be cheaper.”

Zhao Zeling smiled bitterly and said: "I also understand this truth. If our Zhao family doesn't make a move, we will definitely miss a good opportunity to expand our Zhao family's strength, but at this time our Zhao family and the other twelve factions make a move. If it’s not good, the three temporary armies under Su Yi’s command will fall apart, so after the Ice Lion Army attacks Yueyang City next time, I don’t know if Yueyang City can still be defended?”

Zhao Lianhong thought for a while and said, "Brother, even if the thirteen factions divide up the army under Su Yi's command, these troops still exist. Without Su Yi alone, it shouldn't affect the overall situation!"

Zhao Zeling sighed again, "I hope I am worrying unfoundedly."

In the residence of Liu Fuchen, Minister of National Defense in Jinzhou City, Liu Fuchen said to an officer wearing a colonel of the Daqin Army in a deep voice: "Guangrui, when you go to Yueyang City this time, you must try your best to persuade Su Yi's temporary formation of the Third Army Long Qian Rongli, pull the entire temporary Third Army into our Liu family's camp, as long as Qian Rongli can do this, he can agree to any conditions!"

The name of this Daqin Army Colonel is Liu Guangrui. He is the nephew of Defense Minister Liu Fuchen and one of the heads of the Daqin Army's intelligence department.

Liu Guangrui then said: "Uncle, I don't think our Liu family's goal should be placed on Qian Rongli alone. The division commanders in Su Yi's three temporary armies should also be our targets. Of course, Qian Rongli should be the focus of our work, after all, Qian Rongli was originally from our Liu family faction."

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen went on to say: "Guangrui, Qian Rongli is not as good as before. It turned out that Qian Rongli was only the commander of a temporary division with only 20 people under him, and the entire division did not have many heavy weapons. Now Qian Rongli Rongli, but with more than [-] troops armed to the teeth in the Provisional Third Army, without enough benefits, it is difficult for Qian Rongli to be willing to return to our Liu family faction."

Liu Guangrui nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I have sent people to protect Qian Rongli's family now. Presumably Qian Rongli will be willing to continue working for our Liu family, but I am worried that Qian Rongli will not be able to The entire Temporary Third Army is under control, so our Liu family has to win over the six division commanders under the Temporary Third Army. In addition, the Temporary First Army and the Temporary Second Army, I will not If you give up, try your best to draw as many troops under Su Yi's command into our Liu family's camp."

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen nodded slightly and said, "I am very relieved of Guangrui's work. This time, you will be fully responsible for the matter of recruiting Su Yi's troops and generals."

After the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom gave up continuing to attack Yueyang City, although the Ministry of National Defense still vigorously promotes Su Yi, the new generation of God of War in the Great Qin Kingdom, on the surface, the thirteen factions of the military began to show their special abilities in secret, trying to By wooing and buying off officers at all levels of the three temporary armies under Su Yi's command, the goal of carve-up of hundreds of thousands of elite troops under Su Yi's command was achieved.

On the evening of April 2538, 21 in the divine calendar, Su Yi held a military meeting at the City Defense Command in Yueyang City. The commanders and deputy commanders of the three temporary armies under Su Yi's command, and eighteen temporary The division commanders and deputy division commanders of the editors all participated in this military meeting.

When the military meeting just started, Su Yi said straight to the point: "Before, I asked Deputy Commander Sun to convey my meaning to all the troops. Originally, Yueyang City was surrounded by the Ice Lion National Army. You people here, There is no other choice but to defend Yueyang City with me. Now that we have established contact with other troops of the Great Qin Army, if any of you want to leave, I, Su Yi, will never stop you. After all, you are originally from various factions People, but if you want to continue to stay in my Su Yi's army, then you have to make a clean break with the original faction you belong to, and say a big word, now I, Su Yi, are the most powerful faction in the Great Qin Army!"

As soon as Su Yi finished speaking, Zhou Jianmin, the temporary commander of the First Army, said loudly: "Commander, without you, Yueyang City would have been captured by the Ice Lion Army long ago, and my life, Zhou Jianmin, would have been lost long ago. , I don’t know about others, anyway, I, Zhou Jianmin, will sell my life to the commander in the future, and as for the He family where Vice Minister He Binghui lives, I, Zhou Jianmin, actually don’t owe them anything to the He family.”
