Su Yi didn't know that there was a potential ally of the Noomi Empire, and was preparing to expand the strength of his army and exert more military pressure on the Sharad Empire in the border area adjacent to the Sharad Empire.

On the afternoon of July 15, 3012 in the Tang calendar, in a study room in the Governor's Mansion of Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province of the Purple Moon Empire, Wei Jingrong said to Su Yi with a smile: "I didn't expect that in just over a year, under the leadership of Xiao Yi, the Su family army has developed so strongly, and it can even compete with the Shalad Empire in the territory of the Cangyu Empire!" ”

Su Yi smiled slightly, "Uncle, presumably you rushed all the way to Kangshui City this time, not just to compliment me, right?" ”

Wei Jingrong's expression suddenly became a little solemn, "Xiao Yi, I came to Kangshui City this time to represent the entire Wei family, hoping to turn the alliance between our Wei family and the Su family into a subordinate relationship, that is to say, our Wei family is willing to take Xiao Yi as the leader from now on!" ”

Wei Jingrong's words made Su Yi stunned, for the Wei family, in fact, Su Yi has always had a strong sense of vigilance, the Wei family originally entered the Su family's army army of 200 people, has been arranged by Su Yi in the Guards Infantry Regiment stationed in Xingang City, in this Guards Infantry Regiment, in addition to the Wei family's two hundred people, the rest of the thousands of officers and soldiers are cyborgs.

As for the 200 people of the Wei family who entered the independent fleet of the Su family army, they were scattered by Su Yi to several former dreadnought battleships and a number of ironclad battleships.

According to Su Yi's arrangement, it can be said that even if the Wei family has any thoughts about the Su family, the Wei family does not have any chance.

"Uncle, the Ming people don't say secret words, hasn't the Wei family always hoped to restore the country? Why do you suddenly want to take refuge in our Su Jiajun? Uncle, you have to understand, I am not a child of the Wei family, if your Wei family has any intentions against the Su family, I advise the Wei family to dispel such thoughts as soon as possible! ”

Wei Jingrong hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi, the Wei family is really here to take refuge in you this time, of course, the reason why the Wei family made such a choice is also inseparable from the strong strength that the Su family army is showing now. ”

After a pause, Wei Jingrong continued: "According to the situation of the Wei family, it is very slim to want to restore the country, and it should even be said that there is no hope at all, and with the current strength of the Su family, Xiao Yi, you can establish your own country sooner or later, and the only requirement for our Wei family to join the Su family army is to hope that when Xiao Yi establishes the country, he can take the Tang Dynasty as the name of the country!" ”

Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "If the Su family army can drive the army of the Shalad Empire out of the territory of the Cangyu Empire, then it is logical to annex the Cangyu Empire, and it is okay to replace the Cangyu Empire with the Tang Empire, but the Wei family defects to the Su family's army, what benefits can our Su family army get?" ”

Wei Jingrong was a little relieved when he heard Su Yi, and his face couldn't help but show excitement, "Xiao Yi, our Wei family is willing to contribute 100 million British dollars in cash to you at your disposal, and we are also willing to contribute all the four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields that our Wei family is 100% controlled by our Wei family to Su Jiajun, four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields can be said to be the most valuable industries of the Wei family, which can add up to almost 600 million British dollars!" ”

Su Yi was gasped by the Wei family's generosity, 100 million British dollars in cash, plus 600 million British dollars worth of four gold mines, six silver mines and five oil fields, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Wei family is rich and rivals.

"Uncle, is there really only one requirement for your Wei family?"

"Xiao Yi, the Wei family really only has one request, after all, you also have the blood of the Tang royal family, if you can re-establish the Tang Empire, it is equivalent to completing the thousand-year-old wish of our Wei family, and these children of our Wei family can also be regarded as having an explanation to their ancestors."

"In this case, where is the reason for me not to agree, I can promise the Wei family that once I, Su Yi, establish a country, I will definitely be in the name of the Tang Empire!"

That night, after Su Yi told He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen about the Wei family's intention to join the Su family's army, He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen both agreed very much to accept the Wei family's surrender, or accept the big pie sent by the Wei family.

Su Yi said with some worry: "I always feel that the Wei family's move will never be so simple, the Wei family must have some plans, which I didn't expect." ”

He Yunfei said with a smile: "Don't worry about the marshal, even if the Wei family has some plans, it must not be able to shake the marshal, after all, in the Su family's army, there are almost one million officers and soldiers who are 100% loyal to the marshal, with this million loyal officers and soldiers, whether it is the army of the Su family army or the independent fleet of the Su family army, the military power will always be in the hands of the big marshal." ”

Cheng Ziwen followed and said: "Marshal, the Wei family now has only a few hundred people in the Su family's army, and they are all low-level officers, and they can't make any waves. ”

Su Yi suddenly showed a smile and said: "No matter what the Wei family has planned, let's get the benefits in our hands, if the Wei family makes any moths in the future, I don't mind a righteous killing of relatives!" ”

Three days later, on behalf of the Wei family, Wei Jingrong personally delivered 100 million British dollars in cash, as well as the title deeds and share documents of four gold mines, six silver mines, and five oil fields.

In a mansion in Xintong City, the capital of Yuejiang Province of the Liuyun Empire, Wei Jingrong's eldest brother, Wei Jingsheng, walked into the study of Wei Bozhao, the patriarch of the Wei family, with a telegram, "Father, the second brother has sent back a telegram and has handed over 100 million British dollars, as well as those land deeds and share documents to Su Yi. ”

After Wei Bozhao gently put an ancient book in his hand on the table, he nodded slowly and said: "I hope that Su Yi can live up to expectations, defeat the army of the Salad Empire, seize the entire Cangyu Empire, and re-establish the great Tang Dynasty where all nations come to the dynasty and the four Yi worship!" ”

Wei Jingsheng couldn't help but say at this time: "Father, our Wei family has worked hard for more than a thousand years to restore the country, is it just for the false name of a Tang Dynasty?" ”

Wei Bozhao shook his head and said: "Father knows what you mean, in fact, many children of the Wei family should not be able to figure it out, why do we Wei family have to pay such a big price just for the name of a Tang Dynasty?" ”

Wei Jingsheng nodded and said, "That's true, I really don't understand, why did my father and the elders of the family do this?" 100 million dollars in cash, plus those four gold mines, six silver mines, and five oil fields, is almost equivalent to half of the assets of our Wei family! ”

Wei Bozhao smiled slightly, "Jingsheng, do you think the Su family army can defeat the Shalad Empire and thus take the Cangyu Empire?" ”

Wei Jingsheng pondered for a moment, "Father, according to the current strength of the Su Family's army, it is indeed possible to expel the forces of the Shalad Empire from the Cangyu Empire, so with the strength of the Cangyu Empire alone, it should not be able to stop the annexation of the Su Family's army." ”

"Then Jingsheng, do you think that with the strength of our Wei family alone, there is still hope for the restoration of the country?"

"Father, to be honest, if our Wei family relies on itself alone, the hope of recovering the country is very slim, and it can even be said that there is no chance at all, if it is easy to restore the country, our Wei family will not wait for thousands of years."

Wei Bozhao sighed and said, "Yes! Even if the Liuyun Empire is now suffering from internal and external troubles, our Wei family still has no hope of recovering the country, so for my father and a few elders, I decided to take the train of the Su family army and borrow chickens to lay eggs! ”

"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs? What does the father mean? ”

"If Su Yi founded the country, he must lack all kinds of talents, this is a good opportunity for our Wei family to rise, once our Wei family can become a pivotal family in the new Tang Empire, then our Wei family can slowly accumulate strength, the reason why the Tang Empire fell apart back then was because of the rebellion of the four dukes."

"Father, according to this line of thought, maybe our Wei family will have to wait for hundreds or even hundreds of years."

"Our Wei family has been waiting for more than a thousand years, even if we wait for more than a thousand years! The important thing now is that let our Wei family's children in various places join the Su family's army as soon as possible, Jingsheng, you also have to hurry to Kangshui City in Luochuan Province of the Purple Moon Empire, no matter what position Su Yi arranges for you, you must do your best. ”

Wei Jingsheng smiled bitterly, "Father, I'm almost fifty this year, don't I have to go to Kangshui City?" ”

Wei Bozhao said categorically: "Jingsheng, you are the next patriarch of the Wei family, in order to show the sincerity of our Wei family, you must go to Kangshui City, if it is not for your father's health, your father will also go to Kangshui City to serve Su Yi in person, and when you go to Kangshui City, bring Zifang and Ziyi with you." ”

"Father, you want Zifang and Ziyi to ......"

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the old man has been treating Zifang and Ziyi as granddaughters all these years, letting them live like princesses, and now it's time for them to contribute to the Wei family!"

Wei Jingsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, Ning Yuan and Ning Qiu, those two boys, they like Zifang and Ziyi very much. ”

Ning Yuan and Ning Qiu that Wei Jingsheng said were both Wei Jingsheng's own sons.

Wei Bozhao snorted coldly, "Jingsheng, the personal relationship of the children, compared to our Wei family's great cause of restoring the country, which one is more important?" ”

"Father, of course it is important to restore the country!"

"Then what are you still doing here, hurry up and pack up your things, and prepare to take Zifang and Ziyi to Kangshui City, our Wei family needs to use Zifang and Ziyi to maintain the relationship with Su Yi!"

At this time, in a room in the backyard of the Wei family's mansion, a young girl with the color of a city and a country hurriedly said to another beautiful girl who was carved out of a mold: "Sister, why don't we go and ask grandpa!" ”

The two sisters in the room are twins, the elder sister is called Wei Zifang, the younger sister is called Wei Ziyi, their biological father belongs to the Wei family, when their sisters were very young, their mother died of illness, and when they were five years old, their father was killed by robbers in order to protect the patriarch Wei Bozhao.

In the end, Wei Bozhao saw that although Wei Zifang and Wei Ziyi were young, they were a pair of beauties, and the father of the two sisters was killed by robbers to protect himself, so Wei Bozhao accepted Wei Zifang and Wei Ziyi as godgranddaughters in front of many clansmen.

Wei Zifang smiled bitterly and said to Wei Ziyi: "Ziyi, it's useless, it's grandpa's idea to let us go to Kangshui City." ”

Wei Ziyi suddenly said dejectedly: "Sister, are we really going to be a concubine for that Su Yi?" ”

"Ziyi, grandpa has raised our sisters for so many years, just for today, can our sisters have the right to object?"

Seeing her sister Wei Ziyi's depressed look, Wei Zifang said with a smile: "Ziyi, Su Yi seems to be only twenty-two years old this year, which is the same age as our sisters, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, it is better than giving our sisters to a bad old man!" What's more, the Su family army under Su Yi is strong, and the Sharad Empire is about to lose its temper, maybe our sisters can become the concubines of a founding emperor in the future! ”
