In Zhuguang City, the busy Tang Zheng received a piece of news.
That is, the Royal Guards sent 200,000 people to rescue Li Wuyou. After learning that Li Wuyou had gone to Zhuguang City, the Royal Guards stopped marching to Hezhou, and instead sent helicopter troops to Zhuguang City to pick him up. Li Wuyou left and returned to Yuanjing.
Tang Zheng made some calculations and realized that the time left for him was probably running out.
While Li Wuyou is still in Zhuguang City, many things must be resolved.
The biggest thing right now is to upgrade the brigade commander.
Tang Zheng had already completed two of the six tasks for upgrading the brigade commander, namely full strength of the entire regiment and full funding.
There are also four tasks, namely killing 30 million zombies, 5 million people, 500,000 square kilometers of land, and ten mapping tasks.
Nine of the ten mapping items have been completed, and Guo Yun's research institute is also working day and night to produce the last map, and the results are expected to be available within a week.
The 30 million zombies have now been killed more than 26 million. In two days, Caiqi County will be taken, and the number of kills is still about 3 million.
There is a slight problem with this mission. Currently, there are no zombies within the radar range around Light Chaser City.
Apart from colorful flags, you can only go to Lumba City or Fengcheng to look for them.
There is no point in rushing this matter. With all the troops outside now, it is impossible for Tang Zheng to kill three million zombies single-handedly.
Tang Zheng wanted to take advantage of Li Wuyou's still here to implement the matter of five million people and half a million square kilometers of land.
This matter is not easy. Li Wuyou is the heir to the empire. It is almost impossible to get her to admit these things.
However, Tang Zheng also prepared an important bargaining chip.
This bargaining chip is the Fifth Army.
Tang Zheng has ordered the fleet he formed to temporarily park in a township four hundred kilometers away from the City of Chasing the Light. The 70,000 people have not yet followed the survivors to the City of Chasing the Light.
It is already afternoon. As the host, Tang Zheng will entertain Li Wuyou and Liu Yibang at Gunpao Beauty Restaurant today.
Liu Yibang was picked up by helicopter alone and was not with the Fifth Army.
Since Luo Qiuwan left, the Gunslinger Beauty Hotel has been taken back by the Light Chasing Army and used as a place to entertain guests.
However, the model of the hotel has not changed, everything is carried out according to the original style.
The direct manager here is actually Tang Zheng himself, and he has not entrusted this place to anyone.
Even after the original employees were reviewed and there were no problems, he did not replace them and tried to keep the original team as much as possible.
It's just that some people have been added here, all of whom are secret personnel from the Zhuguang Military Intelligence Bureau. They are not conspicuous here, ensuring that there will be no problems here.
The dinner time was set at six o'clock. Tang Zheng looked at the time and saw that it was already half past five, so he prepared to leave from the official residence.
Tang Zheng had high hopes for today's dinner.
Liu Yibang has nothing to worry about now. The Fifth Army is not with him at the moment. His words no longer carry much weight. The main thing is Li Wuyou's attitude.
On the way to the hotel, Tang Zheng was constantly thinking about what to say and what to do.
After arriving at the hotel, Tang Zheng opened the door and entered the room, then came to a private room on the second floor of the hotel.
This is the most luxurious box in the hotel. It is located in a corner of the second floor and is relatively secluded. The entire room is more than 200 square meters.
At this time, Li Wuyou and Liu Yibang hadn't arrived yet, so Tang Zheng was drinking tea alone and waiting.
About twenty minutes later, Li Wuyou and Liu Yibang came together.
They had been arranged to rest for a while by Tang Zheng, and now they looked much better.
But when Li Wuyou entered the room, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng knew that it was because he gave Li Wuyou a knife blow and knocked him unconscious at the airport.
However, Tang Zheng didn't feel bad about this, it was just a bit rude. At this time, he could only laugh a few times.
After the three of them finished cooking, Tang Zheng pushed the menu over: "Your Highness Princess, Commander Liu, please order. Although you have eaten all kinds of delicious food, there are some specialties in Zhuguang City that are worth trying. They are the apocalypse A taste that didn’t exist before.”
Li Wuyou didn't speak, but Liu Yibang couldn't help but said: "Brother Tang, if there is something that dissatisfies you during dinner, then you cough or throw the wine glass, and a group of soldiers will come out and take the princess and me." Can we solve it on the spot?"
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Why do you have such an idea?"
Liu Yibang snorted from his nostrils: "It is a fact that you saved us, and we are all very grateful, but it is also a fact that you were daring. Your people took me from the ship to the plane and took me to Chasing Light City alone, and I The troops are now being unloaded by your people into a town in the wilderness, where they complain that the sky is not responding and the ground is not working. Now I am alone in Zhuguang City. If you cut off the logistics of the troops, Supplies, I’m afraid I’ll freeze to death in that town with nothing, so I have to doubt your intentions.”
"If it's just like this, that's it. The key point is that you dare to attack Her Royal Highness. This is simply unbelievable to my ears. As the most favored daughter of the late emperor, the princess grew up with thousands of favors. It can be said that no one has touched her since she was a child, but she was knocked unconscious by a slap from you. Tell yourself, how can I trust you with such behavior? You are not pretending to govern the emperor to order the princes. What do you think? If that's the case, you can take action now. The two of us are alone here and have no power to fight back. No matter what you want to do, we have no ability to resist. "
After saying that, Liu Yibang leaned back on the chair as if he was cheating, looking like he was in a bad mood.
After this process, Li Wuyou said nothing, but his searching eyes were also looking at Tang Zheng, wanting to hear what he had to say.
After hearing Liu Yibang's tirade, Tang Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
He did not answer Liu Yibang, but first asked Li Wuyou: "Your Highness, do you think so too?"
Li Wuyou didn't answer whether he was, but asked softly: "I think it doesn't matter what I think now, what matters is what you think."
Tang Zheng lightly tapped the table with his fingers twice, and after pondering for a moment: "Your Highness, Commander Liu, first of all I want to correct your wrong thinking. Why do you govern the emperor to order the princes? Where do you start talking about this? Shouldn't you? Are you so forgetful? When you were in Hezhou, His Highness issued orders to several surrounding army groups, what was the result? At that time, they could not listen to His Highness's orders and did nothing to save them. Could it be that if you stay in Zhuguang City, I will Do you have the right to order them?"
Tang Zheng couldn't help but laugh as he said this: "If I ask them to donate materials or money to the Light Chasing Army in the name of the princess, what do you think they will do?"
Seeing the pale faces of the two of them, Tang Zheng did not wait for their answer and said directly: "I guess not only will they not obey the orders, they might even attack Zhuguang City in the name of King Qin, trying to confuse right and wrong. It’s very easy, so you say, why do I need to hold you hostage? Isn’t that asking for trouble?”
Li Wuyou felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. The commander of the army group under her command did not obey orders, which was the biggest pain in her heart now.
But she was a little helpless and didn't even know what to do.
Liu Yibang also looked unhappy, but he had to admit that what Tang Zheng said was very reasonable and hit the nail on the head.
It's just that these words were a little unpleasant, and he couldn't accept them for a while.
After taking a few hard breaths, he spoke again: "Then why don't you let my troops return to the city with the fleet?"
Tang Zheng smiled: "Commander Liu, you also know that this is my home. How can I allow others to snore next to the bed? Judging from your current attitude, I did the right thing by not letting the Fifth Army come to Zhuguang City."
"you!"
Liu Yibang was a little annoyed and wanted to stand up, but when he thought of his current situation, he didn't want to talk at all.
Yes, Tang Zheng was right. If he were Tang Zheng, he would not let the Fifth Army enter the city. Who would let such a large armed force enter his home lair.
He simply stopped talking at this moment, picked up the menu and started ordering, specifically choosing the expensive ones, as if he wanted to make Tang Zheng poor.
After Tang Zheng saw that Liu Yibang had been dealt with, he turned to Li Wuyou and poured him a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, what are your plans next?"
Li Wuyou took the tea cup and said thank you softly, then there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"I didn't think too carefully. My guards are coming to pick me up. I should go back to Yuanjing."
Tang Zheng thought for a while: "How many people are there in His Royal Highness's Royal Guards now?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand." Li Wuyou answered quickly.
"Then has His Highness considered expanding the Royal Guards?"
"Expansion?"
Tang Zheng nodded: "Yes, let's expand it. Looking at it now, the number of the major army groups is around 200,000. The reason why His Highness's orders cannot flow smoothly is actually the reason. Only His Highness has powerful strength in his hands. Only then can others obey your orders, instead of simply relying on royal blood."
"The Royal Guards can travel thousands of kilometers to rescue, which shows that they are loyal to you, so this army should be expanded. I think the 400,000 Royal Guards are capable of ensuring the smooth flow of your decrees."
Li Wuyou thought for a moment: "What you said makes sense, but it is difficult to form an army. After this incident, I feel that we must first ensure the loyalty of the army. It is not easy to find such a loyal army."
Tang Zheng glanced at Liu Yibang: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of us, the Fifth Army is fighting heroically. Isn't it still qualified for the job of the Royal Guard?"
"These 70,000 people are all elite veterans. As long as some recruits are selected from the survivors, the veterans will be promoted to grass-roots officers, and the veterans will lead the new recruits. Soon the army will be ready. I believe that Commander Liu Yibang will also be willing to serve His Highness. The work of dogs and horses.”
Sure enough, when Liu Yibang heard this, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Li Wuyou.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Army has nowhere to go now. If you are willing to believe me, I will take the Fifth Army to join the Royal Guard. I will not compete with Commander Ma for the position of commander. The deputy commander can also do it, and the division commander can It's also okay."
Hearing this, Li Wuyou was really moved.
"That's fine. It just so happens that the Guards are not far from here now. I'll ask them to send a transport convoy to go directly to the town where your troops are located. Take all the soldiers away and go back to Beijing together."
Liu Yibang hurriedly agreed, and by being able to join the Royal Guard, he finally had a destination.
Everyone is very satisfied with this result.
Tang Zheng was also very satisfied. It was impossible for him to accept the 70,000-strong armed force of the Fifth Army. After all, his army did not need ordinary people to serve as soldiers, and the system could handle it.
But he would rather spend a lot of money to buy ships to save the Fifth Army. In addition to the strength of this unit, it was just for the current situation.
He has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now he has finally achieved his goal by borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha.
After Li Wuyou and the Fifth Army left, these more than three million people automatically belonged to Zhuguang City. This mission was equivalent to completion.
Li Wuyou was also very happy. He felt that Tang Zheng's proposal was very good. He was so happy that he even asked Tang Zheng if he wanted to drink some wine.
