"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 708
Chen Ru, the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, fell into the hands of Luo Dagang, the commander of the Fifth Army, which made Chen Xiaoyu very anxious.
Fortunately, Li Qiye, Chief of Staff of the Second Legion, was busy making plans, which made Chen Xiaoyu gradually calm down.
Chen Xiaoyu sent people in the direction of Pingyong Mansion to inquire about the movement there, and at the same time contacted Meng Jianbo, the commander of the Third Army, and Liu Yidao, the commander of the Fourth Army, hoping that they could come to Lingchuan Mansion to discuss countermeasures together.
However, to Chen Xiaoyu's surprise, Meng Jianbo, the head of the Third Army and Liu Yidao, the head of the Fourth Army, who had always been loyal to Chen Ru, politely rejected Chen Xiaoyu's request for help.
Meng Jianbo said that he was not sick, but Liu Yidao replied that he was fighting the Southern Army and could not leave.
After Chen Xiaoyu got this result, she was also extremely disappointed, because at this critical moment, the leaders of the two major armies also had the same attitude. She guessed that they were also attracted by Luo Dagang.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Although Luo Dagang is now in control of the Fifth Army of the Qinghe Army, he is still powerless to annex several other armies.
So what he adopted was the strategy of division and disintegration. On the one hand, in the name of Chen Ru, he asked Chen Xiaoyu to return to Pingyong Mansion, and then married Chen Xiaoyu, making him the de facto young commander of the Qinghe Army.
At the same time, in order to win the support of the majority, Luo Dagang also asked Wu Yanqing, chief of staff, to lobby Meng Jianbo, the commander of the Third Army, and Liu Yidao, the commander of the Fourth Army.
In order to win over these two powerful factions, Luo Dagang also offered generous chips.
That is, once he marries Chen Xiaoyu and becomes the young commander of the Qinghe Army, if Liu Yidao and Meng Jianbo support him, then he will recommend them as deputy commanders.
Meng Jianbo and Liu Yidao are also veterans of the Qinghe Army. Although they are still hesitant when they see the olive branch thrown by Luo Dagang, they are still very moved.
Now, although they look good as army commanders, they still have to be commanded by others.
If you can become the deputy commander, your status will be different, so the attitudes of Meng Jianbo and Liu Yidao have also become intriguing.
Choosing between the powerful Luo Dagang and Chen Xiaoyu, Meng Jianbo and Liu Yidao are not fools, and they are more inclined to Luo Dagang.
However, they are the commanders of the legion, and they feel that Luo Dagang only promised to let them be the deputy commander. This is just a verbal promise, which may change at any time.
So they unanimously began to take a wait-and-see attitude, hoping to win more benefits.
"General, although Meng Jianbo and Liu Yidao are a little moved now, they are still waiting and watching, and have not given a clear statement."
Chief of Staff Wu Yanqing has now completely turned to Luo Dagang, so after he went to lobby the heads of the two armies and came back, he also reported the situation to Luo Dagang as soon as possible.
"These two old foxes are also masters who don't scatter eagles when they don't see rabbits."
Luo Dagang originally thought of exchanging the position of deputy commander for their support, but when he saw that they didn't respond, he couldn't help cursing inwardly.
"Send someone to go again, and say that if they support me, I will transfer them 10,000 shi of grain and 5,000 shi of weapons and armor."
"And they are now caught in a battle with the Southern Army. I will also send people to reinforce them at that time."
Now Luo Dagang is also worried that the two army commanders will fall to Chen Xiaoyu's side, after all, he only controls Chen Ru.
If they were really united and attacked him regardless of Chen Ru's life or death, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.
So Luo Dagang also had to come up with more practical things, hoping to win the support of the two army commanders Liu Yidao and Meng Jianbo.
"What do you mean Li Qiye and the others from the Second Legion?"
After deciding to come up with more things to win over Meng Jiabo, the commander of the Third Army, and Liu Yidao, the commander of the Fourth Army, Luo Dagang asked about the situation of the Second Army.
"The Second Army Corps has already gone to Lingchuan Mansion, joined Chen Xiaoyu and the others, and is now on alert for our side." Chief of Staff Wu Yanqing said.
"Hmph, Li Qiye doesn't know how to praise, after I clean up Chen Xiaoyu, I will slowly clean up their second army."
The elites of the Second Legion all followed Chen Ziang, leaving only the old, the weak, women and children, and some guards.
In a series of battles, they were also severely damaged. Although Li Qiye has tried his best to recover some strength, there is still a gap from before, and Luo Dagang doesn't take it seriously.
 "Send someone to tell Chen Xiaoyu to order her to go back to Pingyong Mansion to marry me, otherwise, her father's life will be gone."
Previously, Luo Dagang sent an official document to Chen Xiaoyu in the name of Chen Ru, asking Chen Xiaoyu to return to Pingyong Mansion.
As long as Chen Xiaoyu returns to Pingyong Mansion, he can handle it as he wants, after all, this is his territory.
Now following Li Qiye and Chen Xiaoyu, they joined together, and made a guard gesture to their side of Pingyong Mansion, which means that it is obvious that Chen Xiaoyu already knows what happened in Pingyong Mansion.
Now that his face has been torn apart, Luo Dagang didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly sent someone to threaten Chen Xiaoyu, asking her to come back and get married, otherwise he would kill Chen Ru.
Now that Chen Ru is in his hands, he doesn't believe that Chen Xiaoyu will not submit, but now he has the absolute initiative.
After receiving Luo Dagang's threat, Chen Xiaoyu cursed angrily, and at the same time was worried about Chen Ru's safety.
"Pretend to agree first, stabilize Luo Dagang, and then we will find a way."
Previously, Luo Dagang pretended to call Chen Xiaoyu back in the name of Chen Ru, but now he directly threatened, which made Li Qiye very angry.
But now that Chen Ru is in the hands of Luo Dagang and the others, Li Qiye and the others are also wary, and they can't think of a better way for a while.
"That's the only way to go now."
After Chen Xiaoyu cursed Luo Dagang angrily for a while, she also had to bow her head and compromise.
Because now her only relative is Chen Ru, and she doesn't want Chen Ru to have any troubles.
Chen Xiaoyu also personally wrote a letter and sent it to Luo Dagang in Pingyong Mansion, asking him to ensure Chen Ru's safety, and she agreed to marry Luo Dagang in an attempt to stabilize Luo Dagang.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoyu agreed to marry Luo Dagang, Liu Yidao and Meng Jianbo, who were waiting to see the benefits, also expressed their congratulations to Luo Dagang, and at the same time expressed their willingness to obey the orders of him, the future young commander of the Qinghe Army.
When Chen Xiaoyu and Li Qiye were both frowning because of Luo Dagang's persecution, a piece of good news came.
The news came from Shen Xiuxiu, who is in charge of intelligence work, that is, he got the news about Chen Ziang, the commander of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army.
In fact, Chen Ziang has been sending the intelligence investigation department to look for Marshal Chen Ru and the others, but Chen Ziang and the others were mainly focused on gaining a firm foothold in Jiangbei Province at that time, and they did not send many people.
Later, when they captured the Jiangnan Province, they focused their energy on the Jiangnan Province, and they were unfamiliar with the Yunshan Province, which was some distance away.
The brothers of the Intelligence and Investigation Department inquired about the news in various prefectures and counties of Yunshan Province. Because there were wars everywhere and the news was blocked, they could only inquire about the news from prefecture to prefecture.
Several times, because of inquiring about the news about the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ru, he was targeted by the local garrison, and the entire army was almost wiped out.
Later, as Chen Ru led the troops out of the mountain, the people from the intelligence and investigation department rushed to Pingyong Mansion immediately after learning about the situation from the refugees.
It's just that the road is difficult, there are bandits and bandits everywhere and fighting, and they have gone through untold hardships to find the Qinghe army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
