Ji'an County.
Of course Cao Yi also received the news.
He was also shocked when he got the news. He never thought that the current 14th Regiment had the strength to destroy a brigade of the Eastern Sichuan Army.
"Sun Shu, what do you think?" Cao Yi looked up at Sun Shu who was standing aside and asked.
"Master, it's scary. It's really scary. The 14th Regiment has silently developed its troops into a force that can wipe out a brigade, but we don't have any news at all." Sun Shu said with a very serious face. .
"Well, indeed." Cao Yi nodded and asked, "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Master, I think it depends on how it is used. It may be good or bad."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Master, these fourteen regiments still belong to our thirty-seventh division in name. Doesn't it mean that he is powerful? The fact that he destroyed a brigade of the Eastern Sichuan Army with one regiment is enough to show that his strength is definitely better than ours." A strong brigade will not be weaker than a brigade."
"Now that the Eastern Sichuan Army has experienced two battles, it is estimated that they have suffered a lot of losses. They also need to recuperate. The 14th Regiment just curbed the arrogance of the Eastern Sichuan Army to destroy An Rulong."
"That's the good thing."
"The bad thing is that I'm afraid that he won't be under control..." Sun Shu said something meaningful.
"Um……"
"You are right. The Fourteenth Regiment is indeed an uncertain factor. We don't know much about their new leader."
"Master, do you want me to go and contact the 14th Regiment?" Sun Shu suggested from the side.
"Send someone to get in touch. It's always good to get in touch." Cao Yi waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Master, I will make arrangements right away."
After Sun Shu finished speaking, he went down.
The next afternoon.
Qin Jinhong had just returned to the house after inspecting the troops, and Xu Zhiyong walked in at this time.
"Captain, the division headquarters has sent someone."
"Division headquarters?" Qin Jinhong frowned, then put on his hat and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"Who's coming?"
"Chief of Staff of the Division, Sun Shu!"
When the two arrived at the gate, there was a colonel standing next to a jeep.
Qin Jinhong knew that this was Sun Shu.
"Chief of Staff Sun, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qin Jinhong smiled and extended his hand.
"Captain Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you. You have given the imperial court a lot of face. A regiment of people wiped out a brigade."
"No way, it's just a fluke. Please," said the room. Qin Jinhong immediately made a gesture of invitation.
"Please, Commander Qin."
When the three of them arrived at the command post, Sun Shu was the first to ask: "Captain Qin, I'm curious how you managed to wipe out an enemy brigade with one regiment."
"Chief of Staff Sun, in fact, we just have the advantage of the terrain. You must have known about the recruitment some time ago."
"I know, this matter is not a secret, and Commander Qin, you are not hiding it at all when recruiting troops."
"Counsel Sun, there is nothing to hide here. Doesn't the current law of the court say that if each army can recruit troops independently, it only needs to be in a certain number."
"The purpose of recruiting troops is because our original 14th Regiment still has some weapons left. Only with some weapons can we defeat the Eastern Sichuan Army."
"So that's it, Commander Qin, how many people do you have in the Fourteenth Regiment now? If you want to eliminate more than 5,000 people, even if Commander Qin has the right time, place and people, you will still need three to four thousand people."
"Not many, just over a thousand people."
"More than a thousand people? In other words, your 14th Regiment wiped out more than 5,000 people from the Eastern Sichuan Army with more than 1,000 people?" Sun Shu asked in shock.
"Yes, we have taken advantage of everything we can. If we are asked to do it again, we will definitely not be able to defeat him." Qin Jinhong said and sighed.
"Chief of Staff Sun, please tell me to support you and give us some weapons. We really can't hold on any longer." Qin Jinhong said with a frustrated face.
"well……"
"Commander Qin, why don't the commander want to give you support, but...but the commander can't make the decision. The military power of Shu Province lies with the admiral. If the commander arbitrarily deploys troops, it will be regarded as rebellion."
"Huh? What does this mean?"
"Captain Qin is a smart man. Commander Qin can definitely guess what I mean." Sun Shu did not make it clear, but said cryptically.
"hehe."
Qin Jinhong chuckled. He probably guessed what Sun Shu meant.
"Captain Qin, what I want to tell you is that our master has never failed to deal with Commander Qin. If so, it is out of our control."
"I understand, Counselor Sun. Please tell me, Master, that I understand his difficulties."
"It's great that Commander Qin can think so. In this case, I will leave too. Commander Qin, you have to take good care of yourself. These 14th regiment are also the master's treasure. I hope you can lead him to glory." Sun Shu said and patted Qin Jinhong on the shoulder.
Then Qin Jinhong and Xu Zhiyong sent Sun Shu to the door and got in the car.
Before getting in the car, Sun Shu also asked about Qian Meng's news.
Qin Jinhong: It collapsed.
Sun Shu: Collapse?
Qin Jinhong: Yes, why do we keep people who resist the imperial court? Don’t worry, Chief of Staff Sun. Our 14th Regiment is very loyal to the imperial court. We will resolutely attack those who resist the imperial court.
Sun Shu: Well... Captain Qin did the right thing... He did the right thing...
Sun Shu nodded sadly and got into the car.
Another mission he came here this time was to bring the money to the headquarters. Now it's done, it's all over, the bodies are gone, where are they?
Feed the dog!
After the car drove away, Xu Zhiyong asked from behind Qin Jinhong: "Captain, do you think what Sun Shu said can be believed?"
"Have you forgotten why we came here?" Qin Jinhong said calmly, looking in the direction of the car.
"And it doesn't matter whether what he said is true or not. What matters now is to develop strength. Only when you are strong is the last word. If we have two divisions, who should we be afraid of?"
"Whether what Sun Shu said is true or false, one thing is certain, that is, the division does not care whether we have developed or not. In this case, there is no need to hide it and recruit troops to the maximum extent."
"Captain, if we recruit too many troops and the logistics cannot keep up, we will definitely have enough food and money now. No matter how many people we have, it will be difficult."
"You don't have to worry about logistics. Just recruit troops. Humeng County has business relationships with more than a dozen surrounding counties. We have plenty of money. At worst, we can just buy." Qin Jinhong said with a smile.
"Captain, we don't have much money left. Yesterday I calculated that there are still more than 70,000 yuan. We need to pay more than 70,000 yuan for military pay, and we have to do something. I can't help but spend it."
"Don't worry, you'll have money soon." Qin Jinhong gave Xu Zhiyong a reassuring look.
"You'll have money soon? Where's the money coming from? Captain, you can just conjure it up."
"I'll change it." Qin Jinhong waved his hands and shouted as he walked towards the door.
"Real or false." Xu Zhiyong murmured. At this time, he suddenly thought that the leader seemed to be able to conjure up magic. Otherwise, where did he get all the equipment?
Xu Zhiyong thought like this, as if he was full of confidence in the future.
