Jinling!
Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
"Commander, Qin Jinhong of Shu Province has declared independence from the imperial court." He Tianji walked into Xu Dingfang's office and said.
"It's normal. The Northeast Army has occupied the capital. It's normal for him to be as independent as Wugenzhiping." Xu Dingfang waved his hands and said nonchalantly.
"Commander, Qin Jinhong unified the Shu province. This shows that this person definitely has abilities that are different from ordinary people. Commander, we have to guard against him." He Tianji frowned and advised.
"What you said makes sense, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's first let the soldiers have a good New Year."
"Unification..."
"Okay Tianji, I know you are here for our Jiangnan Army, but you need to get together with your family. We will discuss this matter after the year." Xu Dingfang stood up and looked out the window and said with a smile in dialect .
"It's...the commander-in-chief."
"Okay, please step back." Xu Dingfang waved his hand towards the door.
"There is also the commander-in-chief. The Northwest Army has sent people. The content of the conversation is that they want to join forces with us to fight against the Northeast Army." He Tianji changed the subject and said.
"Join us to fight against the Northeastern Army?"
"hehe……"
"Is this Feng Hui scared?" Xu Dingfang said with a smile.
"The 300,000 troops of the Northeast Army are all gathered in Hebei Province and the capital and Jincheng. If they expand westward, the Northwest Army will not be able to stop them. Now looking at the whole country, no one can stop the Northeast Army except us." He Tianji said.
"Looking at their concessions, it is not impossible to unite with the Northwest Army, but the bottom line must be to divide Beijing and Tianjin between us, otherwise there will be no discussion." Xu Dingfang said in a serious tone.
"Commander, I don't think we need to join forces with Feng Hui. The Northeast Army's first target is definitely the Northwest Army. If the two armies go to war, even if the Northeast Army wins, it will definitely be broken. We will fight back the Northeast Army at that time. Isn't it possible to go outside the customs?" He Tianji asked.
"What you said is indeed true, but don't forget that behind the Northeast Army is Fuso. If he defeats the Northwest Army, Fuso will definitely provide massive assistance to the Northeast Army. By then, it will be more difficult for us to fight the Northeast Army back outside the pass. Yes, so the Northwest Army must not be destroyed, and we can only destroy it!"
Hearing the commander's explanation, He Tianji was enlightened.
Now Fuso is only partially assisting the Northeast Army. Once he defeats the Northwest Army, the Fuso Army will think that he has the strength to compete with their Jiangnan Army for the Yan Kingdom. At that time, Fuso will definitely provide assistance to the Northeast Army.
"Okay Tianji, let Kai Yi handle the meeting."
"I understand, Commander."
Then He Tianji said a few more words and then left.
"Qin Jinhong?" Xu Dingfang slowly spit out these three words after He Tianji left, while his eyes were fixed on a big tree outside the window.
Shenshi
The Marshal's Mansion.
"Commander, Qin Jinhong, the governor of Shu Province, has declared independence."
The commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, Han Guangling, is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, but his face is rugged and his thick beard is extremely symbolic.
Han Guangling was born as a horse bandit, but the fact that he was able to lead a few brothers to develop into the current scale shows how powerful he is.
Of course, it is also due to some external reasons.
No matter what, Han Guangling is now the number one warlord of the Yan Kingdom with an army of 500,000.
And he also owns the two largest arsenals in the country.
"Qin Jinhong?" Han Guangling raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't know the name.
"Commander, Qin Jinhong was originally a regiment leader of the imperial court, but he somehow managed to control the entire Shu Province."
"Shu Province is full of warlords, and he has wiped them all out?" Han Guangling was a little surprised.
"That's right, Commander." The adjutant nodded.
"It's pretty awesome, hahaha."
"Commander, should we do something?"
Han Guangling stood up and walked in the hall with his hands behind his back.
"We have now occupied the capital and have become a thorn in the side of the Northwest Army and the Jiangnan Army. Moreover, we also have Fuso people mingling with us. We cannot make any more enemies."
Han Guangling said as he walked.
"What do the Fuso people say now?"
"They haven't done much, but they have more and more contacts with their homeland," the adjutant said.
"Don't worry about them, be sure to monitor them more. The ambitions of these Fuso people are well known to the world."
"I understand, Commander." The adjutant nodded.
"You send people to Shu Province to contact Qin Jinhong, mainly to express our goodwill to him."
"I understand, Commander."
"Go ahead." Han Guangling waved his hand and returned to the table.
…
Northwest Army
Ancient capital!
"Commander, another force has emerged in Shu Province." Li Ji, Chief of Staff of the Northwest Army, said as he entered the office of Feng Hui, Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Army, holding a document.
"That Qin Jinhong?"
"right!"
"Haha, this Qin Jinhong is quite powerful, isn't he? He took over Shu Province in just a few months?" Feng Hui said with a smile.
"Commander, this Qin Jinhong is an unstable factor."
Feng Hui nodded and said, "Indeed, but our biggest enemy now is still the Northeast Army. We have nothing to do with Qin Jinhong, so we don't need to worry too much."
Li Ji also nodded.
"Commander, even though you say that, I think we still need to do something, such as getting in touch with Qin Jinhong, at least to know who he is."
"You're right, just do it."
"By the way, how is the matter with Jiang Nanjun?"
"Our representatives have secretly met with representatives of the Jiangnan Army, and the final result has not yet been negotiated."
"Hmm...I think Xu Dingfang should know the fate of Chunshajihan. Even if we suffer some losses in this negotiation, it doesn't matter. The Northeast Army is eyeing us to the east. I really don't feel at ease." Feng Hui let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little helpless.
"Commander, I understand, but Xu Dingfang's ambitions are not small. He has already revealed his intention to unify the country."
"Indeed, our Northwest Army is still too weak compared to the two of them. Xu Dingfang has the support of the Chou people, and Han Guangling has the support of the Fusang people, but we do not have any national support."
"Commander, when you talk about this, do you think Qin Jinhong is developing so quickly..." Feng Hui suddenly turned to look at him before Li Ji finished speaking.
"you mean……"
"Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Otherwise, where would they get the guns? How can they fight without guns?"
"Yes." Feng Hui thought for a while and nodded: "What you said is very possible. I think we can also see who is behind their Shu army this time."
"Let the people you send out this time go to someone who is calmer."
"I understand, Commander." Li Ji smiled and nodded.
"If there is really someone behind Qin Jinhong, I think we can join forces with him. Of course, this is all for the future. The main thing is to explore Qin Jinhong's attitude."
"Okay Commander, I'll go make arrangements now."
"Okay, you go ahead."
Then Li Ji left.
