Chapter 800: Give Him Hope

As a result, a very bold idea directly came to Wei Zheng's mind......

Under the gaze of Sun Chengzong and others, his eyes lit up and affirmed: "In order to stabilize Zhou Shuyuan and prevent Zhou Shuyuan from really leaning towards the court, this king agreed to his request and gave him supplementary equipment and ammunition......"

"Chief of Staff, you immediately reply to Zhou Shuyuan, within half a month, the General Staff will send him the equipment and ammunition of a regiment, and ask him to prepare to receive it......"

Wei Zheng, who has never suffered losses, actually compromised with his subordinates...... This result obviously surprised Sun Chengzong and others......

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Sun Chengzong retorted with an incredulous face: "Lord Wang, please be cautious...... The equipment of a regiment is sent over, which means that Zhou Shuyuan will immediately have an extra elite regiment in his hands...... Once Zhou Shuyuan really rebelled and stood on his own, it would become more difficult for us to defeat Zhou Shuyuan......"

Just when Sun Chengzong was about to continue to say something, Wei Zheng directly interrupted: "This king hasn't finished talking yet, what are you anxious about?" ”

In a letter to Zhou Shuyuan, he told him that in order to avoid an accident, the General Staff would transfer two divisions of troops within half a month and assemble them on the border between Gansu and Ningbo provinces...... Once the Fifth Army is unable to resist, these two divisions can immediately enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ning, and together with the Fifth Army, destroy the new army of the imperial court that has entered the two provinces......"

In the face of Wei Zheng's answer, a doubt, and then came to Sun Chengzong's mind.

As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Sun Chengzong opened his mouth and asked: "Lord Wang, the army is stationed on the border of Ganning and Ningbo provinces, isn't that forcing Zhou Shuyuan to fall to the imperial court......

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied, "No." Just a GI was shocked. It's not enough to make Zhou Shuyuan fall to the imperial court......"

"Because. In my letter to her, I will make it very clear that it will be half a month before the strength of the two divisions will be assembled...... As long as Zhou Shuyuan has a little brain, he will quickly end the battle with the new army of the imperial court after receiving the equipment supplement from the General Staff, and will not give us any opportunity or excuse to enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ning......"

For this answer, the worry on Sun Chengzong's face did not dissipate because of this......

Instead, he continued to speak to Wei Zheng and asked, "Lord Wang, how dare you confirm it." As long as we don't push Zhou Shuyuan into a corner, Zhou Shuyuan will not immediately lean towards the imperial court and submit to the imperial court......"

After a sneer quickly flashed on Wei Zheng's face, he replied without thinking: "The reason is very simple...... Zhou Shuyuan has only been in control of the Fifth Army for a few months, and even if he replaces all the middle and senior officers of the General Army with his own people, it is impossible to completely control the Fifth Army...... ""Breaking away from the Fifth Army and becoming independent, he may be able to take away most of the soldiers with certain ambitions!" “

"However, if he betrays the Tiger and Leopard Army and joins the imperial court, then the soldiers who will follow him. There won't be too many people ......."

"You must know that more than eight soldiers of the Fifth Army are from the border army of the imperial court. He betrayed the imperial court to join my Haw Par Army, and now he betrays the Haw Par Army and returns to the imperial court...... As long as they have a little sense, they know that as long as they do it, they will offend both the court and the tiger and leopard army, and even if they return to the side of the court, they will not be taken seriously by the court, and they will even be arrested and interrogated by the court......"

"So, as long as we don't push him to a dead end, let him see a glimmer of hope that he can set himself up as king. He will not give up the army, betray the Haw Par Army, and take refuge in the imperial court......"

"Another reason is that more than eighty percent of the families of the officers and men of the Fifth Army are in the Haw Par Army-controlled area...... If they betray the Haw Par Army, they have betrayed their own family......"

"Therefore, this king is sure that if he is not at a dead end, Zhou Shuyuan will definitely not fall to the court and betray the tiger and leopard army......"

At this time, Sun Chengzong's face finally showed a heartfelt expression of relief.

He continued to ask Wei Zheng: "Lord Wang, according to what you said, Zhou Shuyuan, who received the reply, will definitely end the battle with the new army of the imperial court within half a month...... And what about after the battle? ”

"Immediately dispatch the main force to deploy on the border of the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, and confront the two main divisions drawn by this king......" Wei Zheng said confidently......

It is impossible for him Zhou Shuyuan not to know that the big drama he led can only drag on for a while, but not for a lifetime...... Once the battle was over, he had to face two choices...... Go back to Beijing and abandon the Fifth Army and Ganning Provinces, or hoard the Tiger and Leopard Army to stand on their own......"

"The first choice, from the moment he began to dominate this big drama for us to see, was given up by him......"

"Therefore, after the battle, Zhou Shuyuan's choice is left with the second one......"

"And if he wants to break away from the Tiger and Leopard Army and stand on his own, the first thing Zhou Shuyuan has to do in the battle is to let the two divisions that this king has arranged on the border have no threat to him...... And if he wants to achieve this goal, there is only one way for Zhou Shuyuan to do, to pile up all the main forces that can be used in his hands on the border line, and confront our two divisions, so as to prevent our two divisions from directly entering the two provinces of Gansu and Ning......"

At this time, new doubts and incomprehensions resurfaced in Sun Chengzong's mind......

Facing Wei Zheng, he continued to ask rhetorically: "Lord Wang, since this is the case, then why don't we send a few more to pile up at the border...... As long as Zhou Shuyuan does not give up the two provinces of Ganning and Ningxia, he will immediately send troops and eat all the main forces gathered by Zhou Shuyuan on the border......"

Wei Zheng directly shook his head and denied: "No, we can only dispatch two divisions......"

"First, our Tiger and Leopard Army is at a critical moment of expansion and reorganization, and it is already our limit to take out two divisions...... If there are more, we will have to transfer a few divisions that we have placed on the border......"

"Secondly, the strength of the two divisions not only gave Zhou Shuyuan a pressure, but also gave him a little bit of the same, no more, no less, just right......"

"Think about it, if we have three or four divisions as soon as we come up, wouldn't that force Zhou Shuyuan to jump over the wall in a hurry......"

"When the time comes, even if he knows that betraying the Haw Par Army will cause him to lose most of his army, he will not hesitate to betray us......"

"After all, compared to being eliminated by us, surrendering to the imperial court can at least ensure that he will be a high-ranking official and continue to live a powerful life......"

"I understand......" At this time, Luo Yangxing, who had not spoken, spoke......

"In Zhou Shuyuan's view, the strength of the two divisions is already the limit of what we can deploy...... Therefore, dispatching two divisions can not only make him feel that we do not have any conspiracy against him, but also feel the hope of defeating the two divisions and establishing himself in the two provinces of Ganning and Ningbo......"

"In this way, Zhou Shuyuan can completely rest assured and concentrate on dealing with the two divisions we have placed on the border. Thus, temporarily cut off the idea of betraying the Haw Par Army and defecting to the imperial court......"

Speaking of this, Luo Yangxing's words turned around and continued: "Lord Wang, as I expected, the two divisions you are going to put on the border are just an illusion for Zhou Shuyuan to show Zhou Shuyuan, so that Zhou Shuyuan can relax his vigilance and transfer all the main forces to the border......

"Behind this illusion, there must be a big conspiracy against Zhou Shuyuan......" (to be continued......
