Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Moreover, Zhu Yaoxiang thought more deeply and couldn't help but think of the reason why he went to war with Ma Jincen.

The cause of the war was that Zhu Shenghui's adjutant injured Zhu Shenghui.

But the fundamental reason was that Zhu Shenghui's adjutant Zhang Chengguang discovered that there were many more Daxin 11-style weapons in his army. After an investigation, Zhu Shenghui discovered Zhang Chengguang's abnormality.

Zhu Shenghui was not on guard when he suspected Zhang Chengguang, which led to him being shot by the other party.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yaoxiang's face became even uglier.

He couldn't help but guess that the reason why Fang Jian chose to sell weapons to him was to provoke a conflict between him and Ma Jincen.

"Bastard." Thinking of this, Zhu Yaoxiang slapped the long table in the conference room and said angrily.

Seeing that Zhu Yaoxiang's anger did not seem fake, Xu Yunhua took the opportunity to say, "Brother Zhu, the governor means that Nanshan Province is our own Nanshan Province."

"Our own family's life and death is our own business, but it's different when outsiders interfere."

"The Overseer is willing to accept you back and drive the outsiders out first."

Although he was angry, Zhu Yaoxiang did not lose his mind. He glanced at Xu Yunhua coldly and couldn't help but sneer.

To put it nicely, his strength is the weakest among the three parties, and no matter which of the other two parties defeats the other, it will not be a good thing for him.

Didn’t I see what Xu Yunhua said, that he would expel Fang Jian and then talk about his own business.

Isn't this just a trick to get me to help attack Fang Jian, and then wait for him to attack me?

Seeing Zhu Yaoxiang like this, Xu Yunhua smiled awkwardly, knowing that if he wanted to form an alliance without offering some actual benefits, there would be no way to convince the other party.

Xu Yunhua said: "We can hand Zhang Chengguang over to Brother Zhu to deal with him."

"Brother Zhu, please tell me if you have any other requests. I will pass it on to the warlord. It will be up to the warlord to decide whether to agree to it or not."

"The governor must provide me with 50 military salaries, weapons, and three months of food." Zhu Yaoxiang said after thinking for a moment.

"My troops suffered heavy losses in this war. I can open the passage from Nanfeng to Fenglin City, and you can send troops to Fenglin. My troops need to rest and are temporarily unable to send troops."

Hearing these requests, Xu Yunhua was so angry that he laughed. Are they just taking the benefits but not wanting to do the work?

In fact, Zhu Yaoxiang was also helpless. It was because his position was so awkward. If he had a choice, he really wanted to let the two sides fight freely.

Although Xu Yunhua cannot make the decision on major matters, he will not report it just like that. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Xu Yunhua said coldly: "Brother Zhu, you are not sincere when you say that."

"I am also thinking about my soldiers." Although his face was embarrassed, Zhu Yaoxiang said seriously.

"After the warlord launched a war against our army, our army suffered no less than 10,000 casualties. If we don't recover our strength, it will be difficult for us to attack except defending the city."

Xu Yunhua cursed them inwardly as they were shameless, as they had already obtained the intelligence about Zhu Yaoxiang's troops.

Before the war, Zhu Yaoxiang had eight regiments with about 20,000 people.

After the war, there were still four regiments left, but none of them were fully staffed, so there should be about 8,000 people. One of Zhu Yaoxiang's regiments had 2,500 people.

Xu Yunhua didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Weapons, ammunition, food, and military pay, the governor can give some."

"But our bottom line is that you must lead your troops to attack Francis Jian."

Zhu Yaoxiang kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He felt that Ma Jincen's strength was obvious, while Fang Jian's information was unknown.

Not to mention that he was able to successively annihilate the troops of Zhang Shengwu, Han Zhifu and Ma Jinwei.

Just like how many troops he has and how many troops he has dispatched to fight this time, all of this is unknown.

If the entire army attacks and manages to defeat these troops, it would be fine. But if only part of the troops are dispatched and they are easily defeated, that would be terrible.

Moreover, if former President Yuan Shiting was standing behind Fang Jian, it would be even more difficult to deal with him.

Although Yuan Shiting had retired, he still had many of his old subordinates supporting him in the army, and some warlords were also loyal to him.

To be honest, Zhu Yaoxiang is more inclined to unite with Ma Jincen.

I didn’t consider contacting Ma Jincen before, firstly because of Ma Jincen’s suspicion, and secondly because of the hatred for my son being injured.

Now that Ma Jincen took the initiative to accept him and was willing to hand over the murderer, Zhu Yaoxiang was satisfied.

But even though he was satisfied, he still needed to think carefully about whether to send troops immediately. First, whether Ma Jincen really accepted him, and whether he would turn against him later.

The second is whether Ma Jincen would use himself as cannon fodder and watch himself and Fang Jian both suffer losses.

"Brother Xu, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but..." Zhu Yaoxiang expressed his doubts to Xu Yunhua.

"This……"

Xu Yunhua was also in a dilemma. It was impossible for him to solemnly assure him that the governor would not hold him accountable afterwards, or would not use him as cannon fodder.

Xu Yunhua was worried: "Brother Zhu, I will communicate with the governor about the two points you are worried about."

"But after the alliance, your troops will definitely be dispatched."

"You can send troops, but my troops must rest before they can be sent out, and the troops will be commanded by me alone, and the two sides will only cooperate with each other." Zhu Yaoxiang thought for a moment and nodded.

Xu Yunhua felt that this request was not excessive, so he asked, "Brother Zhu, how long do you plan to rest?"

"Three months." Zhu Yaoxiang said, stretching out three fingers on his right hand.

Hearing that it would take three months, Xu Yunhua's mouth twitched. He guessed that Zhu Yaoxiang was planning to use these three months to recruit and train an army, and then use this army to attack Fang Ji'an.

Xu Yunhua shook his head and said, "Fang Jian's troops have just been through a great battle, so it's time for us to send troops."

"If we wait until the enemy recovers before sending out our troops, the losses will be much greater than they are now."

This time, no matter how Xu Yunhua tried to persuade him, Zhu Yaoxiang refused to give in.

Xu Yunhua could only helplessly say: "Brother Zhu, I will report this to the governor and see what the governor means."

"Okay." Zhu Yaoxiang knew that this was not something Xu Yunhua could decide, so he did not force it. Instead, he stood up and escorted Xu Yunhua out of the city.

Fenglin City, when Fang Jian came back from Xing County, he left four 75-caliber mountain cannons and the Third Guard Regiment.

Currently, the artillery of the 75rd Guard Regiment includes: six 105-caliber mountain guns, two 10-caliber mountain guns, and ten 60-caliber mortars.

Fang Jian planned to establish a regimental artillery configuration based on six 75-caliber mountain guns and two 105-caliber mountain guns.

The firing rate of mountain artillery is slower than that of mortar, but its power is greater than that of mortar.

In addition, each company and platoon is equipped with grenade launchers, so the heavy firepower is relatively complete.

If configured at this scale, the remaining two guard regiments will be short of six 75-caliber mountain guns and four 105-caliber mountain guns. Currently, the First Guard Regiment has six 75-caliber mountain guns.

Fang Jian communicated with the system in his mind: "System, exchange two 105-caliber mountain cannons and one thousand shells. Four 75-caliber field cannons and four thousand shells. 1 mortar shells, 10 grenade launcher shells, and one thousand barrels of diesel."
