"I have long thought that such a day would come," Qin Jinhong said without changing his expression.
"For this purpose, order all the troops to enter a state of combat readiness during this period and be ready to go to war with the imperial court at any time. Then notify Bu Nanying and ask him to monitor the imperial court's movements to the greatest extent possible!"
"Yes, leader!" Xu Zhiyong responded and then turned around and went out.
"Zhao Wanfang, it's time for a touch." Qin Jinhong walked to the window and murmured with firm eyes.
Tianfu.
Admiral's Mansion!
Zhao Wanfang sat in the front hall of the courtyard of the Admiral's Mansion with a gloomy look.
Next to her, a beautiful young woman was kneeling on the ground crying heartbrokenly.
"Master, Xi'er died so miserably, wuwuwu... Master, you have to avenge Xi'er, master..."
Behind the young woman are two maids pulling her.
Zhao Wanfang also looked gloomy at this time, but there was a hint of impatience on his face. "
"Stop shouting, why are you making such a fuss!" Zhao Wanfang made a look to the master next to him.
The master waved his hand knowingly to the soldiers at the door.
"Mrs. Ninth is tired, please take Mrs. Ninth back to the house quickly."
"I won't go back, Master, but you must avenge Xi'er."
"Mrs. Ninth." The two soldiers forcibly picked up the young woman and walked out the door.
When only Zhao Wanfang and Master were left in the room, Zhao Wanfang said angrily: "Qin Jinhong, this little beast, how dare he?"
"Master, it seems that we underestimated the ruthlessness of this Qin Jinhong. I didn't expect that he would dare to kill someone even though he knew that the seventh young master was your son." The master said.
"Huh~" Zhao Wanfang stood up and walked away with his head lowered.
"I don't really care what a loser you are. I just didn't expect that Qin Jinhong would actually do this. Did he really think he could fight against four of my divisions with just one regiment?"
"Master, according to the investigation, the 14th Regiment is no longer at the mercy of others."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wanfang turned around and asked.
"Master, we all underestimated this Qin Jinhong. We used to think that he was lucky to win the few battles he fought. But some time ago, I sent someone to investigate and found that the weapons and equipment of Qin Jinhong's troops were actually better than ours."
"What?"
Zhao Wanfang walked up to the master with a shocked expression, grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, when did you get the news!!!"
"Old...Master, I only got the news this morning. I wanted to report it to you, but when I got here I received the news that the seventh young master was killed, so the matter was shelved." The master said tremblingly with some fear. .
Zhao Wanfang let go after hearing this explanation.
"Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
"Sir, what happened to the Seventh Young Master has already happened, so we can only gather all our troops to crush the Fourteenth Regiment with the power of thunder."
"I think no matter how powerful the 14th Regiment is, it is impossible to defeat our four divisions with more than 50,000 people." The master said next to him.
"You are right. We cannot allow Qin Jinhong to continue to develop. He immediately ordered the 38th Division, the 39th Division, and the 40th Division to gather forces to march towards Jining County, which is currently owned by the 14th Regiment. Order the 37th Division March to Humeng County!"
"Sir, if you attack the three divisions in Jining County, please appoint a commander-in-chief. Otherwise, there will be disagreements among the three division commanders."
"you're right."
"Do you have anyone chosen?"
"I recommend Zhao Meng, commander of the 39th Division, to take this position." The master said with a smile.
"Zhao Meng?" Zhao Wanfang smiled slightly: "Can he do it?"
"Of course we can win, master. Although the commander-in-chief is Master Zhao, the final decision-maker is still you, master, so we will definitely win this battle."
"Hahaha... you old boy." Zhao Wanfang laughed and nodded.
"Well, let Zhao Meng be the commander-in-chief." Zhao Wanfang waved his hand, and the matter was settled.
"Then I'm going to deliver the order, sir. If there's a reason...".
"Just write that Qin Jinhong committed such a heinous crime that he actually killed the new commander of the 14th Regiment that I sent!"
"I understand, sir." The master bowed his head, smiled evilly, and bowed before retreating.
Zhao Meng is Zhao Wanfang's younger brother. He may be a mediocre person, but he may have some abilities. But he has a good brother. He has achieved the position of commander of the 39th Division without any ability, and is in charge of thousands of people. force.
The reason why Zhao Wanfang's master chose Zhao Meng was purely because Zhao Meng was Zhao Wanfang's younger brother.

Jian County
Sun Shu walked into the division headquarters with the telegram.
"Master, there is an order from the Admiral's Mansion, asking us to immediately assemble the entire division to attack Humeng County!"
After hearing Sun Shu's words, Cao Yi naturally asked: "What's the reason?"
"The reason is because Qin Jinhong committed such a heinous crime that he actually killed the new commander of the 14th Regiment sent by the admiral!"
"hehe"
"Zhao Xi?" Cao Yi chuckled nonchalantly.
"Master, what should we do?" Sun Shu asked.
"Of course I obey the order," Cao Yi said.
"Order the troops to start gathering and march towards Humeng County. Remember! Make more noise."
"Master... this..." Sun Shu was a little confused and felt at a loss holding the telegram.
"Sun Shu, who do you think would win if our Thirty-seventh Division faced off against the original Sichuan Eastern Army?" Cao Yi asked calmly.
"I think we can win, but it will be a miserable victory." Sun Shu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
"At that time, their 14th Regiment only had more than 10,000 people, and they were able to wipe out the Eastern Sichuan Army. You don't really think that our four divisions can destroy the 14th Regiment." Cao Yi smiled and shook his head.
"Then Master, what should we do?"
"We brothers can't let them lose their lives for no reason, and this decadent imperial court will be overthrown at some point. Now that the Northeastern Army has entered the pass, there will be a big battle with the imperial court in the plains of Hebei Province. The combat effectiveness of the Northeastern Army Needless to say, if we send 300,000 troops, how can the imperial army fight?"
"Once the Northeast Army captures the capital, the imperial court will be finished."
"Even if the Northeast Army cannot take the capital, the Jiangnan Army has now cleaned up the imperial army in the Jiangnan area. The imperial court has completely lost control of Jiangnan, and the Northwest Army is also eyeing Jin Province."
"The current imperial court is about the same. The imperial army in our area still has some control. Now that Qin Jinhong has appeared, we don't know what the future of the imperial army will be like."
"We also need to be prepared." Cao Yi said with a glint in his eyes.
Sun Shu pursed his lips.
"I understand Master."
"Go ahead, you know what to do." Cao Yi waved his hand.
Cao Yi smiled after Sun Shu left.
"It depends on whether you can block those three divisions!"
