Opening an office in Taila

The Taiwei's actions were beyond Song Yufeng's expectations. It was hard to say whether he was doing it for himself or for Yan State, but now he had indeed declared war on Longmen and Yan State at the same time.

There are a total of 22 armies in Yan State. These 22 armies are extremely large in scale, with a total strength of nearly two million. Now the Taiwei has taken away 13 of them, leaving only 9 armies for the government army. Moreover, the Taiwei's 13 armies also control the so-called 21 cities. These 21 cities are all in the east and south of Yan State. In this way, there is no doubt that the Yan State government will use these nine armies to fight against the offensive of Longmen and Taiwei, while also guarding against the evil demons in the north.

Now it is completely like the Three Kingdoms drama, and the offensives of all three sides are extremely fierce.

On March 11, 1096, just four days after the civil war broke out, the armies of Taiwei and Yan State launched the first large-scale war near a city in the south. In addition, the vanguard troops of Longmen also joined in. Since this location was quite close to Longmen, it was simply called the Battle of Longmen.

A total of 60 troops were deployed in this three-way battle, and in the end, the Taiwei suffered 7 casualties, the Yan State suffered 8 casualties, and the Longmen suffered 2 casualties, and the Yan State won a tragic victory.

However, Longmen's troops had not yet been completely killed or wounded. This was only Longmen's vanguard. Later, Longmen's 10 main forces arrived. The Yan army was unable to fight anymore and had to retreat. The city thus fell into the hands of Longmen's Wei Yanwu.

Song Yufeng also seized this opportunity to intensify his preparations.

After resettling the evacuated personnel, Song Yufeng began to solve a problem: the army's armaments.

The Minghuang Imperial Army now has a size of 100,000, but there are only more than 30,000 troops with complete equipment and sufficient training. Even if one is used to defeat ten, there are only 300,000 troops. At most, they can fight head-on with Wei Yanwu of Longmen. As for the Taiwei and Yan Kingdom, they are not something the Minghuang Imperial Army can deal with now.

What we need to do now is to intensify training and purchase armaments.

When it comes to purchasing arms, Song Yufeng still has connections, for example, Black Steel International.

Black Steel International has actually been very close to Ming Huang recently, mainly for security work. In the past, Song Yufeng placed many large orders and hired Black Steel operators to protect smuggling channels, so Song Yufeng is also like a VIP of Black Steel International.

So as soon as Song Yufeng made the call, Cliff, the founder of Black Steel, answered the call.

"One hundred thousand troops? Song Yufeng, don't I say that the situation in Yan Country is so turbulent, and you still want to intervene? Aren't you afraid of being drowned in it?"

"I have reasons why I must get involved." Song Yufeng said briefly.

"Well, since you're my old customer, I'll give you a discount. One hundred thousand pieces of military equipment for 5 million. That's a good deal. I also took into account that you have many types of troops, but I gave you the lowest price. You could even say I'm losing money."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Cliff."

"Hey, you're welcome. We will cooperate more in the future." Cliff emphasized the word "cooperation". This was an investment of Cliff. If Song Yufeng really took over Yan Country, then the one cooperating with Heigang would be a behemoth.

Song Yufeng didn't bother to be polite. After transferring 500 million, Song Yufeng looked at Lin Yuxia and asked, "How much money does Minghuang have left?"

"We have accumulated wealth very quickly during this period, and we still have about 1.6 billion available for embezzlement."

"Okay, how's the food purchase going?"

"It went very smoothly. As soon as they heard we wanted to buy grain, the grain merchants from Ursus came knocking on our door, offering to sell us grain. Moreover, the countries that purchased Originium from us, such as Casimir and Leitania, even spent grain from their national treasuries to sell to us."

"That's great. This way, at least the logistics are secured." Song Yufeng sighed.

"By the way, you have another trouble." Lin Yuxia said.

"What trouble?"

"Have you heard of the twin queens of Leitania?"

"I know, aren't they the current rulers of Leitania?"

"Well, they want to meet you."

"?" Song Yufeng was confused.

"What do you mean? Why do they want to see me?"

"I don't know, that's why I said it's your trouble." Lin Yuxia also frowned.

"When?"

"The messenger said that as long as you are free, any time is fine. Moreover, the Gemini Queen said she has a surprise for you."

Song Yufeng shook his head. He always felt that this was not a good thing. So he decided not to meet the Gemini Queen for the time being.

Song Yufeng looked out the window and saw that the logo on Rhodes Island's office in Che City had been changed from Rhodes Island to Minghuang's logo.

Ever since withdrawing the Rhodes Island members from Lungmen, Kal'tsit explained one thing to Song Yufeng, which was to recall the Rhodes Island operators.

This made sense. After all, the two sides were only in a cooperative relationship, and Rhodes Island never wanted to be involved in disputes between major powers, so it was normal to request withdrawal.

But what Song Yufeng didn't expect was that this time it was the Rhodes Island operators who disobeyed orders.

In their words, they cannot just abandon Minghuang's companions and the infected people of Yan Country.

Although Minghuang has not yet joined the battle and it has not reached a life-and-death situation, this still shows Huang and his men's determination to fight alongside Minghuang's men.

In the end, the two sides negotiated and reached a conclusion that these operators would participate in Dark Glory as individuals and temporarily cut ties with Rhodes Island.

In this way, after arranging matters in the rear, it is time to consider when to join the war and who to make the main target.

Thinking carefully, although Wei Yanwu had the smallest number of troops, he had cooperated with the Deep Sea Church, so his high-end combat power must be no less than that. Moreover, how many people were there in the Deep Sea Church? What backup plans did they have? These were all unknown to Song Yufeng, and he needed to obtain more intelligence.

According to the official words of Yan State, as far as Song Yufeng has heard so far, most of the Heavenly Masters and Imperial Guards are in the hands of Yan State. The Taiwei has more troops at most, but high-end combat power is scarce. However, since Ya and the Taiwei have cooperated before, he still has some strength, but not much.

From this point of view, it would be better to attack the Taiwei.

As long as we defeat the Taiwei and help the Yan Kingdom, then pacifying Wei Yanwu will naturally be a simple matter.

However, Song Yufeng still needs to confirm one thing, that is, if he faces a highly professional army on the front battlefield, how many people can he kill at his limit?
