Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 88 The Queen's Decision

Empress Ouyang Xue's question made Prime Minister Guo Xian and Navy Minister Liu Yongcheng silent. To be honest, they really couldn't think of a good way to deal with the mighty Su family army, not to mention that Ziyue Empire is still fighting with Jisk and Oren. The two countries are at war, and the Su family army is the main force resisting the armies of these two countries.

At this time, the Minister of War Yuan Lin said loudly: "Your Majesty, shoot the horse first when shooting people, and capture the king before capturing the thief. I feel that we can make some articles around Su Yi himself. If something happens to Su Yi, maybe the Su family's army will immediately attack you." It will become a mess, and at that time, our Ziyue Empire can even take the entire Su family army into our pocket!"

Empress Ouyang Xue understood the meaning of Minister of War Yuan Lin's words, but Empress Ouyang Xue was a little hesitant in her heart. She was not unwilling to deal with Su Yi, but worried that it would be self-defeating. "Prime Minister, do you have any good suggestions?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian did not immediately answer Empress Ouyang Xue's words, but asked Army Minister Yuan Lin in a deep voice, "Master Yuan, what are you going to do?"

The Minister of War, Yuan Lin, showed a sneer and said, "It's easy to hide a spear, but it's hard to defend against an arrow in the dark. After all, Anbo City is still controlled by the Third Division of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire. Losing Su Yi, although somewhat difficult, is not impossible."

Prime Minister Guo Xian continued to ask blankly: "Then what if it fails? What should we do if the Su family's army attacks our Ziyue Empire because of this?"

Minister of War Yuan Lin said indifferently: "Su Yi has made a lot of enemies. Even if the operation fails, we can blame this matter on the Sharad Empire or the Jisk Empire, or even the Orenza Empire. On the head of the empire, as long as the plan is well-planned, no matter whether the operation is successful or not, our Ziyue Empire can stay out of it."

After Prime Minister Guo Xian pondered for a while, he said to Queen Ouyang Xue in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although our Ziyue Empire still has to rely heavily on the Su Family Army to fight against the armies of Jisk and Orenza, the Su Family Army is a threat to our Ziyue Empire. But it is increasing day by day, and I agree with Master Yuan's plan."

Empress Ouyang Xue was still a little hesitant, "If we marry the second princess to Su Yi now, will the current situation be changed?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't make much sense for His Royal Highness the Second Princess to marry Su Yi now. The army under Su Yi's command is expanding too fast, and it has become a bit of a bully. At this time Letting Su Yi become the son-in-law of our Ziyue Empire will definitely do more harm than good."

The Minister of War, Yuan Lin, hurriedly said: "The Prime Minister is right. Su Yi is a wolf with ambition. He must not be allowed to become the son-in-law of our Ziyue Empire."

Empress Ouyang Xue turned her head and asked Liu Yongcheng, Minister of the Navy: "Didn't Su Yi's fleet add more than 100 new ships after New Year's Eve? And there are many powerful super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers among them." , then why is Su Yi still not going to meet the fleet of weapons and ammunition delivered by the Inaba Empire?"

Secretary of the Navy Liu Yongcheng said bitterly: "Your Majesty, on the grounds that Su Yi was worried that he would be ambushed by the navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orensa, he refused to send an independent fleet to meet the transport fleet of the British Empire. So much so that the transport fleet of the British Empire was still blocked by a squadron of the Sharad Navy in the waters near the Xiguan Islands."

As soon as Liu Yongcheng's words fell, Yuan Lin, the Minister of War, immediately said: "Your Majesty, the combined fleet of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orensa was no match for the independent fleet of the Su family army during the naval battle at Anbo Port, let alone the independent fleet now. More than 100 new warships have been added. The reason why Su Yi is unwilling to let our Ziyue Empire Royal Army get the batch of weapons and ammunition from the Yingluoba Empire is obviously because he does not want to see our Ziyue Empire Royal Army become stronger. Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer."

Empress Ouyang Xue finally nodded slightly, "Then leave this matter to Lord Yuan! But Lord Yuan must remember that no matter whether it succeeds or not, the Su Family Army must not find out that our Ziyue Empire did it! "

On the evening of February 3012th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in the best restaurant in Anbo City, the second princess Ouyang Qian held up a wine glass and said to Su Yi: "General Su, because my mother is ill, I have to go back to Sui tomorrow. Shengcheng, I respect General Su for this glass of wine, thank you General Su for lending a helping hand when our Ziyue Empire was in crisis."

What the second princess Ouyangqian said made Su Yi feel a little embarrassed. Since the army of the Su family army occupied the Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province in the northern part of the Ziyue Empire, Su Yi's ambition for Ziyue Empire can be said to be obvious.

"Hehe, I, Su Yi, am also from Tang Dynasty, so I should help Ziyue Empire."

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and suddenly a flash of anger flashed in her eyes and asked Su Yi: "General Su, there is one thing that I have never understood. Sichuan Province, Lianshan Province, and Shanjiang Province are all the territories of our Ziyue Empire, and the Su Family Army prevented our Ziyue Empire Royal Army from entering these four northern provinces, what is the reason?"

Originally, the relationship between Su Yi and Ouyang Qian had already eased, but because the Su family army occupied Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province, the relationship between the two became tense again.

Su Yi touched his nose and said, "Your Highness, the army of the Sharad Empire has withdrawn from Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province, but the Sharad Empire has not reached an agreement with the Ziyue Empire." The armistice agreement, so the army of the Sharad Empire may return at any time and invade the northern region of the Ziyue Empire again. Now that our Su family army is guarding Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province, we will definitely be able to Keep the northern region of the Ziyue Empire intact."

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, laughed angrily: "General Su, even if it is to defend against the army of the Sharad Empire, then our Ziyue Imperial Army's entry into the four northern provinces will definitely increase the strength of these four provinces." , the Su family army prevented our Ziyue Empire Royal Army from entering, could it be that they want to occupy the four northern provinces?"

Su Yi shrugged and said: "Your Highness, the army of the Sharad Empire is very powerful. Our Su Family Army will not allow the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire to enter Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province for the time being. I don’t want to be held back by your Ziyue Empire’s Royal Army, don’t forget that in the battle of Wuyang City, it was precisely because of the unauthorized retreat of the three divisions of your Ziyue Empire’s Royal Army that our Su Family Army paid tens of thousands more lives.”

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, sneered and said, "General Su, I'm leaving Anbo City soon, and I just want to ask you one more question, when will the Su family army take Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province together? Hand it over."

Su Yi curled his lips and said: "When I think I can hand it over, I will naturally return these four provinces to your Ziyue Empire."
