Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

A day later, in the headquarters of the 11rd Regiment, 129th Division of the 73th Army, the Second Army Group of Jiangbei, the -year-old regiment commander Zhao Changfeng looked at Su Zhengyang's handwritten letter in his hand and read it over and over again word by word for several times. The -meter-tall, muscular man from Jiangbei was trembling all over, his eyes were red, and two lines of hot tears had already silently flowed from the corners of his eyes, staining his entire cheeks.

Zhao Changfeng joined the Jiangbei Corps at the age of seventeen and followed Su Zhengyang's father Su Yuting in battles across the country, making great military achievements. He was a well-known fighter in the Jiangbei Corps and was nicknamed the Desperate Saburo.

When Su Yuting was assassinated and Pang Jinghong openly took over the military power, Zhao Changfeng had the idea of ​​taking his soldiers to fight the Pang family. Finally, under the comfort of his teacher You Hui, Zhao Changfeng hid his anger and grievance in his heart and stayed in the Jiangbei Corps with humiliation.

Last year, when Su Zhengyang sent Liu Gangding to instigate a large number of middle and low-level officers of the Jiangbei Army to defect, Zhao Changfeng wanted to follow Liu Gangding to Sanjiang County to serve under Su Zhengyang. However, the Pang family reacted too quickly. After Tang Zhengqi and his family left Jiangbei smoothly, the supervision and surveillance of Su's old subordinates became stricter, forcing Zhao Changfeng to suppress his thoughts.

Now, Su Zhengyang's handwritten letter completely ignited the anger that Zhao Changfeng had suppressed in his heart for years.

The Pang family's servility and flattery towards Fuso have already chilled the hearts of these men who are passionate about serving their country.

"Fuck the Pang family! I, Zhao Changfeng, have been a member of the Su family from the beginning to the end! I am a soldier brought up by Commander Su himself! Now the young commander has led the Northwest Revolutionary Army to Jiangbei. Do I still have to go against my conscience and fight against the troops under the young commander? The young commander's letter made me realize that the Pang family is now at the end of its rope. If I don't turn to the light now, when will I?"

Nie Yu, an elite member of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau standing in front of Zhao Changfeng, was delighted when he saw Zhao Changfeng's excited reaction. If the rebellion actions of other colleagues were successful, they would ignite a beam of fire inside the Jiangbei Legion and completely burn the last of the Pang faction's strength.

In the Governor's Mansion in Yanzhou City, Pang Yunshan, who had not slept for a day and a night and whose eyes were bloodshot, seemed to have finally made up his mind. He put out the cigarette in his hand and ordered the secretary beside him: "Immediately, in the name of the headquarters, summon the officers in the Jiangbei Corps who were trained by the Su family and rush back to Yanzhou to report on their work."

The secretary looked surprised and said, "Young Marshal, we are facing a powerful enemy and a full-scale war may break out at any time. Isn't it inappropriate to withdraw the generals at this time?"

Pang Yunshan shouted impatiently: "What do you know! Once these people see that the situation is not right and turn to Su Zhengyang, we will be completely finished! Only ruthless people can be heroes. We might as well gather them together and execute them all in secret to eliminate the last hidden danger. It is better to kill the wrong ones than to let them go!"

In fact, when the Pang family just took over the Jiangbei Army Corps, they had already cleared out all the officers above the division level among the old Soviet faction.

The reason why these middle and lower-level officers were not moved was, firstly, because if they were moved, there would not be enough command talents to fill the vacancies, and the combat units of the entire Jiangbei Corps would be like headless flies and in complete chaos; secondly, most of these people were at most regimental-level officers, which made them easy to control, and they were under their close surveillance and could be removed at any time.

Of course, in recent years, the Pang faction has also been vigorously developing their Jiangbei Military Academy and has hired a large number of Fuso Army officers as instructors to cultivate fresh blood loyal to the Pang family. Once this group of officers is trained, the entire Jiangbei Corps will usher in a major change.

Unfortunately, the Pang family could never have imagined that in just one year, Su Zhengyang, the good-for-nothing playboy in their eyes, had developed to such a state far away in the northwest, and now had fought his way back to Jiangbei.

"Notify them in batches so as not to arouse suspicion. If anyone thinks of disobeying the command of the headquarters, let our people kill them on the spot and take control of the troops."

"Yes, Marshal!"

At this time, in the headquarters of the 73rd Regiment, a young man wearing the dark green uniform of the Jiangbei Army Corps, with a tall and thin stature, a gloomy face and the rank of lieutenant colonel, pushed away Zhao Changfeng's guards who were blocking him and broke directly into Zhao Changfeng's residence.

"Zhao Changfeng! Don't think I don't know what you want to do! Remember this, if the Pang family didn't appreciate you and were willing to give you a bite to eat, you would have gone to hell with You Hui and those stubborn old guys!"

"You want to betray the Pang family and the Jiangbei Army! That depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"

The young man's name is Yue Xiaofei. He is Pang Yunshan's cousin's brother-in-law and the chief of staff of the 76th Regiment. He was arranged by the Pang family to be in the 76th Regiment to monitor Zhao Changfeng's every move.

Zhao Changfeng raised his head, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Yue Xiaofei and said, "You barged into my house without even saying hello, what do you mean by that!"

Yue Xiaofei fixed his eyes on Nie Yu, looked him up and down for a few times, and sneered, "This man must be the secret agent sent by the Northwest Revolutionary Army to contact you. To tell you the truth, I have been eyeing him for several days. Don't treat me as a fool! If you dare to betray the Pang family, I will send you to hell now!"

"Someone, take down the traitor Zhao Changfeng!"

Following Yue Xiaofei's order, the regiment's guard company consisting of hundreds of people rushed into Zhao Changfeng's residence fully armed, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed directly at Nie Yu and Zhao Changfeng's heads.

"Fuck you, I gave you face, right? How dare you turn against me on my territory? To tell you the truth, I am a rebel! I would rather work for the young commander than follow the Pang family and be a lackey of the Fuso people!"

"You are courting death! Shoot, kill Zhao Changfeng, take this Northwest Revolutionary Army's secret agent away and torture him severely!"

After Yue Xiaofei gave the order, no soldier took any action according to his instructions. Just when Yue Xiaofei was slightly stunned, Zhao Changfeng took two steps at a time and came to Yue Xiaofei. He slapped Yue Xiaofei hard in the face, causing him to turn half a circle on the spot. With blood gushing from his mouth and nose, he sat on the ground with stars in his eyes.

"You want to bribe my soldiers on my territory? You're fucking dreaming!"

Yue Xiaofei realized belatedly that the guard company commander, who seemed to be servile to him and secretly defected to the Pang family and helped him monitor Zhao Changfeng, was actually loyal to Zhao Changfeng from beginning to end and never changed his position.

Seeing Zhao Changfeng pull out his service gun in front of him, Yue Xiaofei was so scared that he trembled all over and a stream of fishy yellow urine flowed down his trouser legs.

"No, don't....Listen to me..."

Yue Changfeng waved his hands in panic, trying to beg for mercy incoherently.

Bang! After two gunshots, Yue Changfeng collapsed in a pool of blood. After twitching a few times, he was completely motionless.

Zhao Changfeng put away his gun and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Gather the soldiers of the 73rd Regiment immediately! From today on, our 73rd Regiment has rebelled! We, the iron-willed men of Jiangbei, must not follow the Pang family to become traitors and spineless! Brothers, raise your guns! I will cooperate with the young commander and fire the first bullet to rebel against the Pang family and join the light in Jiangbei Province!"

"There are no cowards in our 73rd Regiment! Brothers, follow me and kill these Fuso lackeys who are loyal to the Pang family!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"We are not traitors! We are not spineless!"

"Kill the Pang family! Let Jiangbei see the blue sky after the fog has cleared!"
