Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Heavy snow fell and the temperature dropped rapidly to below zero. It was so cold that water turned into ice.

The sudden change in weather was just like the situation on the northern battlefield. The Japanese were supposed to be surrounded by the First War Zone of the imperial court, like fish on a chopping board. However, the situation changed as suddenly as the weather. The main force of the Japanese Third Front Army appeared on the flank of the First War Zone. 20 well-equipped Japanese marines appeared in the direction of Huludao, and there were also Japanese garrisons in Anbei County. Now there seems to be a big reversal, and the First War Zone has become a turtle in a jar!

"53 Japanese soldiers, six tank brigades, one armored division, and five heavy artillery brigades. Can anyone tell me where these hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers suddenly came from?"

"Also, how did the main force of the Third Front Army of the Eastern Kingdom get here?"

"What is the Third War Zone doing? Hundreds of thousands of Japanese passed through their defense zone, and there was no news at all?"

Commander Hong Xinhou of the First War Zone raised three questions, because anyone would have questions if more than 500,000 Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared around them. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers was there. Even if the First War Zone had no fewer troops than the Japanese soldiers, it would not be easy to withdraw easily once the war broke out.

And now they are at a disadvantage in terms of terrain and are surrounded by the Japanese.

"Hello, I'm Song Guoan."

At Chengbei headquarters, Zong Guoan held the phone and said, "I don't need to listen to nonsense. Let your commander answer the phone for me. I want to hear him explain it to me in person!"

After a while, Qin Lin's voice came from the phone.

"Commander-in-chief, I'm Qin Lin, I'm Qin Lin."

"Commander Qin," Song Guoan frowned and shouted while holding the phone, "I need you to give an explanation now. How did the 20 troops of the Third Front Army of the Eastern Ocean Country quietly cross your Third War Zone's defense line?"

"Commander-in-chief, your words are a bit unfair to the hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers who fought for the country in the three war zones," Qin Lin shouted angrily, "My Qin Army, with the strength of a war zone, fought against the main force of the Japanese Third Front Army. Since we marched north, we have annihilated no less than 60,000 Japanese. May I ask, how many Japanese did the imperial army annihilate?"

"I, Qin Lin, defended the 33-kilometer defense line, saved Cao's army from danger, and suppressed hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops outside the defense line. May I ask what your 40 troops are doing?"

"Also," Qin Lin continued, "You, the imperial court, should not treat everyone as fools. You are the smartest. You, Song Guoan, are at least an upright soldier. But now look at the battle you commanded. You sent friendly troops into the fire pit and surrounded the defeated Japanese troops in Anbei City without destroying them. Don't I, Qin Lin, understand your imperial court's intentions? Do you think I am blind?"

"You, Song Guoan, are old after all. You are one of the three great generals alongside General Cao, revered by the people, and there is a temple dedicated to you. I don't think you deserve it at all," Qin Lin shouted. "You haven't learned a thing about a soldier's honor, mission, and sense of responsibility. You are getting more and more pedantic as you grow older. You brought the calculations of the court to the battlefield, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line. They will not let you go even if they become ghosts. You are not worthy of being a general of an army at all. You are the executioner who indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line, while their families are still waiting for them to return home. Do you deserve to be called a soldier?"

"puff!"

I only heard a sound of vomiting blood on the phone, followed by noisy shouting.

"Commander-in-chief, military doctor, call the military doctor quickly!"

"Commander!"

"Military doctor, call the military doctor quickly!"

Listening to the noisy voices on the phone, Qin Lin's face showed no joy, because he had no choice but to do so!

He asked the intelligence bureau to investigate Song Guoan's life, and several points can be roughly summarized: he loves his soldiers like his own sons, and it seems that the honor of a soldier is more important than his life. In addition, he likes to dwell on trivial matters. So according to various investigations, Qin Lin's call was well prepared, in order to make Song Guoan lose face in serving as the commander-in-chief, so that the court will replace him. According to the current talent pool of the court, no one can take on the heavy responsibility, so without Song Guoan, the combat effectiveness of the new army will surely decline rapidly, and the weakening of the court will be a foregone conclusion.

Of course, the most important thing that can directly hit Song Guoan's heart is psychology. Qin Lin has done in-depth research on psychology. Judging from Song Guoan's life experience in the first half of his life, his temperament will not change much in the second half of his life. So if those words were said, it would be strange if Song Guoan didn't get angry to death!

However, Song Guoan has a fatal flaw, which is his loyalty to the emperor. Therefore, the battle on the front line has the will of the yellow-robed boy in it. Otherwise, with the strength of the four major war zones and Song Guoan's command level, it would be impossible to fight like this. That's why Qin Lin used such a strategy. Between Song Guoan in the court and the people, Qin Lin chose the people and the soldiers without hesitation.

Therefore, the command power cannot be in the hands of the imperial court. The imperial court must be weakened quickly, and the Northwest must take control of the Central Plains to command the troops to fight against the Oriental Kingdom. Only in this way can the Daqian Kingdom be saved from long-term invasion.

With Song Guoan's fall, the entire Chengbei headquarters was in chaos. Even Foreign Minister Lei He was a little anxious, because now hundreds of thousands of troops in the First War Zone on the front line were surrounded by the Japanese. Song Guoan had to command personally to break out of the Japanese encirclement, otherwise the First War Zone would be in danger!

He didn't understand why, even though he had clearly planned to let the Third Front Army of the Oriental Kingdom engage in a war of attrition with the Qin Army in the Three War Zones, and he even planned the subsequent layout clearly, which could cause the Qin Army in the Three War Zones to lose more than half of its troops, or even be completely wiped out, but!

But things did not go as he expected, but went in the opposite direction!

"Damn it!"

Lei He shouted, "We must make Commander Song wake up today, otherwise all the military doctors will be taken out and shot!"

Hong Xinhou, who was far away in Anbei County, also learned that their commander-in-chief had fainted, and he was suddenly a little panicked, because once Marshal Cao died, Marshal Song would be their mainstay. If anything unexpected happened to Marshal Song, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Now how to do?"

Hong Xinhou looked at the Japanese encirclement on the map. The Japanese had been planning carefully for such a long time and finally caught this piece of fat meat. Looking at the posture of the Japanese, it was clear that they would not let them break out easily.

While Hong Xinhou was thinking, the chief of staff quickly came to the headquarters and said, "Commander, the Japanese army has begun to advance, and they have begun to tighten the encirclement. I am afraid that within 15 hours, the Japanese will reach our military base and want to take a big bite of our fat meat."

"Damn it!"

"This battle is getting more and more chaotic!"

"I told you!" Hong Xinhou threw his baton on the table and shouted, "Your Majesty has really lost his mind to let a civilian official interfere in the command of this army!"

"Lao Hong!"

The chief of staff immediately said, "Be careful, the walls have ears, your head is about to be moved!"

"Let's move, we won't live long anyway!" Hong Xinhou said while looking at the map, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We should fight a mobile war with the devils. We will break through the defense line of the Qin Army's Third War Zone."
