Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 334 Full-fledged
In the City Defense Command of Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the Yueyang Front Army, said excitedly to Su Yi: "I never thought that Lushan Province and Xiling Province would be exchanged for only [-] tons of gold. The Ministry of National Defense asked our Yueyang Front Army to take over these two The order of the whole province has already come down, and at the same time, the designations of our Yueyang Front Army's Temporary Fourth Army, Temporary Fifth Army, and Temporary Sixth Army have also been approved by the Ministry of National Defense."

Su Yi smiled slightly: "I just tried it. Now we can exchange [-] tons of gold for Lushan and Xiling provinces. We have made a lot of money. Next, we must take over Lushan and Xiling provinces as soon as possible. In addition The formation of the Provisional Fourth Army, the Provisional Fifth Army, and the Provisional Sixth Army must also be completed as soon as possible."

Sun Guodong said: "As long as we send troops to capture Taolin County in Sui'an Province, it will be equivalent to opening up the passage for our Yueyang Front Army to enter Lushan Province and Xiling Province. At present, there are less than [-] Ice Lions in Taolin County. Lin County shouldn't have any problems."

After a pause, Sun Guodong continued: "As for the formation of three new temporary armies, it is not a problem for our Yueyang front army at all. Now the number of recruits has exceeded 200 million. We can completely start from the temporary formation of the first army." , The Second Temporary Army and the Third Temporary Army will deploy a group of backbones to set up the shelves of the three new temporary armies, and then use the more than 200 million recruits who are undergoing training to quickly make the three new temporary armies reach full capacity. Edit the status, anyway, the commander is ready for weapons and equipment."

Su Yi nodded and said: "The attack on Taolin County must be launched as soon as possible, and the passage to Lushan and Xiling provinces should be opened within three days. The fourth army, the fifth army and the sixth army will be temporarily organized. The formation of the army will be carried out according to your plan, Guodong. What needs to be paid attention to is the candidates for the three new temporary army officers at all levels. Ability is one aspect, and the key lies in whether they are of one mind with the entire Yueyang front army."

"Commander, don't worry, as our Yueyang Front Army captured the entire Yueyang City area and several counties in Longxing Province and Suian Province, our Yueyang Front Army has become more and more united, and the officers generally believe that only the Commander is suitable to lead us Great Qin Kingdom."

"Then form the temporary fourth army, the temporary fifth army, and the temporary sixth army as soon as possible. In order to counterattack the ice lion army across the board in the future, even six temporary armies are not enough. After Lushan and Xiling provinces are all taken over, we will have to form more new temporary troops, and the combined population of Lushan and Xiling provinces is almost 8000 million, so recruiting several million recruits will definitely not be a problem."

On October 2538, [-] in the divine calendar, the tentatively organized Tenth Division affiliated to the Yueyang Front Army suddenly launched an attack on Taolin County in Sui'an Province.

However, an Ice Lion Country Garrison Infantry Brigade stationed in Taolin County, faced with the temporary 9th Division with a strength of more than 4000 troops, soon couldn't hold on, and gave up Taolin County after losing almost [-] people. They were evacuated to the territory of Huairong County, east of Taolin County, which is also a county in Suian Province.

After capturing Taolin County, the troops of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command began to handover with other Great Qin armies in Lushan and Xiling provinces.

Marshal Kayano, who was commanding the army of the Ice Lion Country on the front line in the southwest region, learned that Taolin County fell, and the army under Su Yi entered Lushan Province and Xiling Province, and began to take over all the territories in these two provinces. He couldn't help being angry He said to the deputy commander-in-chief, General Gelu, "Why hasn't the troops in Taolin County been increased? Now that Taolin County has fallen, the army under Su Yi's command has joined forces with other troops of the Great Qin State."

Gelu sighed and said: "Marshal, since we have deployed a large number of elite troops into the southwest region, we can only take a defensive position against Su Yi's army and other Great Qin troops for the time being, and the position of Taolin County is equivalent to being attacked by the enemy. It is difficult for us to deploy [-] elite troops in Taolin County, and it is difficult to defend Taolin County, not to mention that we will not be able to mobilize [-] elite troops for the time being, and put them all in a small Taolin County."

Marshal Kayano waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't think about the central region of the Great Qin State for now. If we can't drive the army of the Blood Wolf Kingdom out of the five southwestern provinces of the Great Qin State, then we will not be able to deal with the situation in the ice country." All the achievements of the Lion Kingdom in the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom before will be swallowed up by the Blood Wolf Kingdom."

Gelu hesitated for a moment and said, "We can't let Su Yi's forces continue to expand. Even if our Ice Lion Country drives the Blood Wolf Country out of the southwest region, it will be even more difficult to deal with Su Yi in the future. .”

Marshal Kayano said: "A large number of new troops are being formed in the country. After the formation of these troops, some of them will be sent to the central area of ​​the Great Qin State to deal with the threat posed by the army under Su Yi's command. They will be sent to the battlefields in the southwest region, and at the same time, a large number of more advanced weapons and equipment such as new fighter jets and new heavy tanks are being developed in China, and now for the army under Su Yi's command, we in Ice Lion Country can only do this."

During the process of taking over Lushan Province and Xiling Province by the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command, the Ice Lion Army did not make trouble. By the middle of November in 2538 in the divine calendar, the entire territory of Lushan Province and Xiling Province had been taken over by Su Yi. The Yueyang Front Army under his command had all taken over, and at this time the Yueyang Front Army already had six full-staffed temporary armies, and the total strength of the Yueyang Front Army exceeded 400 million.

Immediately, without obtaining the consent of the Ministry of National Defense of the Great Qin State, Su Yi announced that six new temporary armies would be formed in the territory of Lushan Province and Xiling Province, namely, the temporary Seventh Army, the temporary Eighth Army, The Ninth Army, the Tenth Army, the No.11 Army and the No.12 Army are temporarily organized.

As for the formation of the six new temporary armies, a group of backbones were drawn from the previous temporary armies in accordance with the formation method of the temporary fourth army, the temporary fifth army, and the temporary sixth army, and then a large number of them were recruited through a simple process. The trained recruits allowed the six new temporary armies to reach full strength.

"Pa——" Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen slapped the table hard, and then said angrily: "Su Yi has regarded our Ministry of National Defense as a decoration, and has not received an order from our Ministry of National Defense. A new temporary army, according to the establishment of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command, the total strength of the six new temporary armies is close to 400 million!"

Zhao Zeling, one of the six deputy ministers of the Ministry of National Defense, said with a wry smile: "The Yueyang area, Longxing Province, Lushan Province, Xiling Province, and a small half of Sui'an Province, the areas controlled by Su Yi's Yueyang Front Army are no more than those controlled by our Ministry of National Defense. The area under control is small, and the combat power of the Yueyang Front Army is far superior to other troops under our Ministry of National Defense, Su Yi can be said to be full-fledged, and our Ministry of National Defense has no way to restrict Su Yi at all."

Defense Minister Liu Fuchen patted the table angrily, "Should we just watch the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command continue to expand without restraint?"

Chief of Staff Zhou Botao sighed at this moment and said: "Because of the threat from the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country, our Ministry of National Defense can only let the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi continue to expand, and we can't send troops at this time. Suppress the Yueyang Front Army? Besides, with the current army in the hands of our Ministry of National Defense, we cannot suppress the Yueyang Front Army!"

The thirteen senior officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Great Qin Kingdom are now gathered in a conference room at the temporary station of the Ministry of Defense in Jinzhou City.

Sun Hongwei, one of the six deputy ministers of the Ministry of National Defense, suddenly said: "I heard a news that the reason why President Cai Yongchang and Vice President Li Qingwei tried their best to hand over Lushan Province and Xiling Province to Su Yi was because they accepted Su Yi. Forty tons of gold for both of them."

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen waved his hand and said: "There is no solid evidence, so don't spread the word about it. No matter what, we used Lushan Province and Xiling Province to exchange a large number of weapons and ammunition from Su Yi. The 120 million army troops from the province and Xiling province have also safely withdrawn into Nanjiang, Puyang, Nanchuan and Lingnan provinces, making the total strength of our Ministry of National Defense in these four provinces more than 500 million, and even if it is a matter It’s true, so what can we do? President Cai Yongchang and Vice President Li Qingwei cannot both be removed from office, so who will provide the logistical supplies for our Ministry of National Defense’s more than 500 million army troops?”

Chief of the General Staff Zhou Botao shook his head and said: "Let's discuss whether to follow Su Yi's request and give the Yueyang Front Army the designation of the six new provisional armies!"

Deputy Minister Zhao Zeling immediately said: "I don't think Su Yi will be able to prevent Su Yi from forming six new temporary armies anyway. Why don't we just do a favor and put the temporary Seventh Army, the temporary Eighth Army, and the temporary Ninth Army together?" , The designations of the Tenth Army, the No.11 Army and the No.12 Army were given to Su Yi. It is best to use the designations of these six new temporary armies from Su Yi, and then change Return a batch of weapons and equipment."

As soon as Zhao Zeling finished speaking, Chief of Staff Zhou Botao nodded and said, "I agree with Minister Zhao's opinion."

Afterwards, other senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense also spoke out, expressing their agreement to give Su Yi six new temporary army designations, and finally even Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen reluctantly agreed.

That night, at the residence of Zhao Zeling, Deputy Minister of National Defense in Jinzhou City, Zhao Zeling said to Zhao Lianhong, commander of the No.20 Second Army of the Great Qin Army, in a deep voice: "Let our people contact Su Yi immediately and tell Su Yi that our Zhao family I have already helped him obtain the designations of six new temporary armies, and I hope that our Zhao family can continue to cooperate with him in the future."

Zhao Lianhong, the commander of the No.20 Second Army, is the cousin of Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of national defense. After hearing what his cousin Zhao Zeling said, Zhao Lianhong pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother, do our Zhao family really want to rely on that Su Yi?"

Zhao Zeling said: "It's not seeking refuge, but cooperation. Now that our Zhao family wants to seek refuge with Su Yi, they may not agree!"

After a pause, Zhao Zeling sighed: "With the current strength in Su Yi's hands, we don't think much of our Zhao family's strength at all. In fact, judging from today's meeting, it is not only our Zhao family, but also thirteen members of our military. Factions, many of them should have contacted Su Yi, which also leaves a way out for our various factions."

Zhao Lianhong said with a wry smile: "That Su Yi is too heaven-defying. How long has it been since he became the commander-in-chief of millions of troops from a small clerk at the bottom? Maybe in the future... our Zhao family really needs to keep a It's time to retreat, but if Su Yi really gains the power of the Great Qin Kingdom, will he let our Zhao family and other factions continue to control the army in his hands?"

Zhao Zeling was silent for a moment and said: "If Su Yi can really drive out the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country, it is impossible for the thirteen factions of our military to prevent Su Yi from gaining the authority of our Great Qin Country. You must know how to choose, and it is not impossible to give up the army."

At this time, at the mansion of Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen, Liu Fuchen said to Liu Guangrui, one of the heads of the intelligence department of the Daqin Military, in a deep voice: "From today's meeting, it can be seen that many factions in our military should be secretly fighting with each other. Su Yi has contacted, and has even reached some cooperation with Su Yi. Of course, it is not ruled out that some factions have completely turned to Su Yi. For the sake of the future of our Liu family, you should send someone to cooperate with Su Yi as soon as possible. Get in touch and express our Liu family's kindness to him."

Liu Guangrui is Liu Fuchen's nephew and one of the leaders of the next generation of the Liu family.

Liu Guangrui nodded and said, "Uncle, I will send someone to handle this matter immediately, so does our Liu family need to reach some agreement with Su Yi?"

Liu Fuchen sighed and said: "There is no need to reach an agreement. Su Yi is already full-fledged. Even if our Liu family takes the initiative to lean over, Su Yi may not accept it. Let's ease the relationship with Su Yi first!"

Liu Guangrui hesitated for a while and said: "Uncle, our intelligence department has actually formulated an assassination plan against Su Yi. According to our intelligence department's calculation, once Su Yi is killed, the entire Yueyang Front Army will become leaderless. Now Yueyang Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the front army, has no prestige to control the entire Yueyang front army."

Liu Fuchen waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about whether you can successfully assassinate Su Yi, even if your intelligence department succeeds, the situation may become even worse for our Great Qin State. Without Su Yi's Yueyang Front Army, it only takes a few days. One hundred thousand elite troops of the Ice Lion Army can wipe out the central and southeastern regions of our Great Qin Kingdom, and only then will our Liu family really fall into the abyss."

Liu Guangrui said: "Uncle, if there is no Su Yi, can't the Ministry of National Defense still take over the Yueyang Front Army?"

Liu Fuchen sighed and said: "Things are not so simple. If Su Yi is gone, the Yueyang Front Army will immediately become a mess. It is already difficult for the commanders and division commanders of the Yueyang Front Army to pledge allegiance to various factions."
