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

When Su Zhenghong heard this, he couldn't help but frown and think deeply.

Wang Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said, "This batch of arms was donated by the Ito Chamber of Commerce of the Fuso Empire to the Guo warlords in Linzhou. I guess it was intended to target your brother's Northwest Revolutionary Army."

"To be honest, I also look down on the Pang family, who are servile to the Fuso people. In addition, the person they want to deal with is your brother, one of our own. I really don't want to take this mission, but the Fuso people gave the upper echelons 20 oceans in tolls, and the governor is still very concerned about this matter."

Su Zhenghong hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, "Since you are unwilling to take this task, let Commander Liu hand it over to other troops."

Wang Xiangdong shook his head helplessly: "The order from the Governor's Office has been passed down, and now Commander Liu can't change it."

"This matter really puts me in a dilemma. If I don't tell your brother about this news, it would make me seem incompetent as a brother-in-law. But if I tell your brother and something goes wrong with this batch of arms, the higher-ups will hold me accountable for my negligence."

Su Zhenghong said in a gentle voice, "I understand your difficulties. You don't have to be embarrassed. You have no choice in this matter. I will not mention this to Zhengyang."

Wang Xiangdong looked at his wife lovingly. This was what touched him the most: Su Zhenghong would not make things difficult for him just because she was Su Zhengyang's sister.

In fact, it was impossible for the Wang family to marry Su Zhenghong, the princess of the Su warlord family, with their status. But on the one hand, Su Zhenghong admired Wang Xiangdong very much. On the other hand, after the Su family fell into poverty, Su Zhenghong and Su Zhengyang had no place to live, so Su Zhenghong simply married into the Wang family.

“Madam, I’ve thought about it. I still have to tell Zhengyang about this. Otherwise, if his Northwest Revolutionary Army is not prepared at all, it is very likely to suffer a great loss.”

"If the higher-ups come to investigate, I can shirk responsibility. Besides us, the people who know this news include other warlords along the way, as well as the Guo and Pang factions. They may not necessarily blame me."

That afternoon, Yan Shuangying was invited to the palace again.

Su Zhenghong went straight to the point and told Yan Shuangying the news that Wang Xiangdong had obtained.

The current Northwest Intelligence Bureau is far from developed. Although Yan Shuangying knows that Pang Yunshan brought Ito Masao to visit the old fox Guo Qicheng, he is not clear about what kind of cooperative relationship they have reached.

Only the top-level people in the Guo faction can access the deeper information.

"I need to find a way to inform Commander Su about this matter. Can you please help me prepare a telegraph machine, Commander Wang?"

At the Northwest Revolutionary Army Headquarters in Zhenyuan City, after Su Zhengyang received the information from Yan Shuangying, he kept thinking about how to respond.

[Ding! The system issues a side quest for the host: Get chestnuts from the fire. ]

[The host has successfully obtained the news that the Fusang Empire will provide large-scale military assistance to the Guo warlords. Please find a way to stop this military assistance and destroy the cooperative relationship between the Fusang Empire and the Guo warlords. ]

The task given by the system coincided with Su Zhengyang's idea. Since the arms aided by the Fuso Empire to the Guo warlords had to pass through Zhongshan County in the southern part of Yunzhou, and the troops under his brother-in-law were in charge of this matter, it could be said that he had the right time, place and people on his side.

There were only two problems that gave Su Zhengyang a headache. First, according to the news from his brother-in-law, the Pang faction would send two reorganized regiments to escort this batch of military aid. If he wanted to take action in Zhongshan County, Yunzhou, how to deal with these two reorganized regiments would be a thorny problem.

Now the Guo faction warlords have noticed their own mistakes in intelligence issues.

There is no telling how many spies are watching the Northwest Revolutionary Army's every move. As long as there is a large-scale mobilization on our side, any unusual movement of the troops will be heard by the Guo warlords.

By then, it will alert the other party and make them vigilant.

If a large number of troops are not sent out, there will be no way to swallow up the two reorganized regiments of the Pang faction in one bite.

You should know that the troops responsible for escorting this batch of military aid were the ace troops under the Pang warlord, the 62th and 118th Regiments of the 119nd Division.

These two regiments are well-equipped, have participated in many large-scale battles, and have rich combat experience.

Moreover, both regiments are reinforced regiments, with a total number of 5000 people.

The second problem is that this batch of military aid is not a small amount. Once any problem occurs, the other party will definitely conduct a strict investigation at every link. If the investigation leads to his brother-in-law Wang Xiangdong, the consequences will be disastrous.

My brother-in-law Wang Xiangdong told me the news out of consideration for our family relationship. I can't just take this batch of military aid without caring about the consequences and push my brother-in-law into trouble.

Su Zhengyang called Qin Huaiyi, Liu Chengxu and others together to discuss countermeasures.

After discussing for several hours, everyone finally agreed that the only way to accomplish this was to use the troops of Su Zhengyang's brother-in-law, Wang Xiangdong.

Because the Pang faction had already negotiated with the Yan faction warlords and paid a toll of 20 oceans, they were not on guard against the Yan faction warlords' troops.

If the Northwest Revolutionary Army sent out a small force, it would be difficult to defeat the two regiments of the Pang faction. If it mobilized a large-scale force, it would be very likely to be discovered by the enemy.

He could only send a small group of elite troops to infiltrate, and then cooperate with his brother-in-law Wang Xiangdong's troops to seize this batch of military aid.

The only question now is how to deal with the aftermath.

Qin Huaiyi thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Commander, if it really doesn't work, let your brother-in-law bring his troops to our northwest to develop. This way, he won't have to worry about anything."

Su Zhengyang shook his head and said, "From Zhongshan County to Linzhou, there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 combat troops of the Yan faction warlords along the way. My brother-in-law values ​​his troops more than his life. It is impossible for him to abandon his troops and take the Wang family to escape to our Northwest Revolutionary Army. But if he wants to take a regiment of his own troops and withdraw from Yunzhou to Zhenyuan City, do you think he can break through the blockade of 30,000 to 40,000 combat troops of the Yan faction warlords?"

After Su Zhengyang finished speaking, Qin Huaiyi shook his head helplessly. After analyzing it this way, this matter was really difficult to deal with.

At this time, Gu Chenghai, who had been sitting next to him and had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke slowly: "Commander, I have been in Yunzhou for a period of time. The leader of the Yan faction warlord, Yan Baoguo, is called Yan the Rich Man by people outside. He is a profit-seeking, extremely stingy person who never gives a penny."

"After this is done, if your brother-in-law wants to bring the troops here, we can talk to Yan Baoguo. As long as we pay enough, I believe he will agree."

Su Zhengyang nodded. This was the only way to do it now. His brother-in-law took such a big risk to leak the news to him, so he had to return the favor and find a way to solve his worries.

After receiving Su Zhengyang's reply, Yan Shuangying told Wang Xiangdong directly the method discussed by Su Zhengyang and others.

Wang Xiangdong frowned, a little hesitant.

Su Zhenghong at the side slowly said: "With your ability, if it weren't for the nepotism of the Yan faction warlord, you would be more than just a small regiment commander now. It would be good for you to develop under my brother. At least the ticket to advancement in the Northwest Revolutionary Army is not a big bucks and women."

Wang Xiangdong's frown relaxed, and he said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Even if your brother didn't have this relationship, I can't just watch the Fusang Empire get involved in our northwest China. Let's do this according to Zhengyang's wishes. I will fully cooperate with you."
