Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Brother, Mo Shoucheng sent a telegram!" Zhao He quickly walked into the headquarters and said to Lin Yi, who was checking the location of the Ninth Division with his staff.

Hearing Zhao Xi's words, Lin Yi raised his head, looked at Zhao Xi and said, "Has Gaizhou been captured?"

"We captured it. We captured it early this morning. Now the Third Division is resting and recuperating. It is expected that in the afternoon, it can continue its march to the Liaozhou Peninsula."

As Zhao Xi said this, he handed the telegram in his hand to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi glanced briefly, then flicked the telegraph newspaper with his finger, and scolded with a smile: "This Mo Shoucheng has only fought a few battles, but he has learned the tricks of Xiao Yinghua's servant army."

"Brother, isn't this great? With the help of those Goryeo servant armies, our casualties will be much smaller." Zhao Xi had read this telegram, and he naturally knew Mo Shoucheng's idea of ​​forming a Goryeo servant army.

"It will reduce some losses, but the morale of these Goryeo servant armies is generally not high. It's okay to fight with the wind, but when encountering a headwind, how much fighting power these servant armies have will have to be questioned." Lin Yi thought. Said disdainfully.

"Then what should we do? Why don't we call Mo Shoucheng back and ask him to disband this servant army?" When Zhao He heard Lin Yi's words, he immediately felt that these servant troops were unreliable.

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xi's words, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the telegram in his hand, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"This Korean named Cui Dongxu is a bit interesting. This person is ambitious and ambitious. But this person can be used." Lin Yi thought for a while and said to Zhao He.

"Brother, isn't this good? If a person is ambitious, wouldn't that make him more restless?" Zhao He frowned. His father, Zhao Xu, had told him that if a person was ambitious, it would be difficult to control him.

"Brother Xie, it depends on how you use it."

"There is no big problem if a person is ambitious, as long as he doesn't use his ambition in places it shouldn't be used."

"Having ambition means that this person has ambition, vision, and can see the situation clearly. As long as we keep beating him and keeping his ambition within our control, he will be a sharp knife."

"However, once any uncontrollable signs appear, such people must be dealt with as soon as possible." Lin Yi looked at Zhao He and said meaningfully.

"Brother, I still don't quite understand." Zhao Xi shook his head when he heard Lin Yi's words.

He felt that what Lin Yi told him was in conflict with what his father said. He had never experienced such a thing and really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Brother Xi, take this Cui Dongxu as an example, what do you think his ambition is?" Lin Yi shook the paper in his hand and asked Zhao Xi.

"Cui Dongxu's ambition?" After hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhao Xi thought for a moment and then said: "His ambition is to control those Goryeo prisoners of war and want more rights?"

"That's half right." Lin Yi smiled, and then continued: "To be precise, this Cui Dongxu is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary."

"When he saw that he had no way to follow the Sakura people and defeat the empire, he took the initiative to surrender."

"After the surrender, according to our usual way of dealing with Sakura Country prisoners of war, they are either shot or put into prisoner of war camps. What awaits them is hard labor."

"This Cui Dongxu doesn't want to go to a prisoner of war camp or live in an ordinary life, so he takes the initiative to help us and establish a servant army."

"In this way, he has a large army in his hands, and he will have the capital to negotiate terms with us."

After saying this, Lin Yi put the telegraph newspaper in his hand on the table.

"Unfortunately, I am not the Sakura Kingdom Tianhuang, nor is I Yamada Shinzo."

"Brother, what should we do now?"

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xi's words, he did not answer him directly, but asked him another question.

"Brother Xie, have you ever thought about how the empire will deal with the issue of Goryeo after it takes over?"

When Zhao He heard Lin Yi's words, he nodded immediately.

"Brother, the Goryeo region is very special. Although the land in Goryeo is barren, the geographical location is very good, especially in the southern part of Goryeo, which is directly across the sea from the Cherry Blossom Country."

"Brother, didn't you say that this time we can't take down the Sakura Kingdom, but Korea must take it? At that time, I was thinking that the empire must control Korea."

"So I think the best way for Goryeo is for the empire to classify Goryeo as a province of the empire."

Lin Yi nodded, praised Zhao Xi and said: "Brother Xi, you are right. The Goryeo region is very special and its location is very important. The empire will definitely turn Goryeo into a province."

"But, Brother Xie, being classified as a province is not now, but in the future."

"Brother Xie, don't forget that for thousands of years, Goryeo has been submissive to the dynasties in the Central Plains. There is no reason for us to occupy Goryeo, especially when the Goryeo royal family is still there."

"Then what should we do?" When Zhao Hearing Lin Yi's words, his head suddenly felt heavy, and he wanted to ask why there were so many twists and turns here.

"The method is very simple. We support some people, let them fight for power in Goryeo, and provoke them to fight among themselves."

"When they fight for power and bring chaos to Goryeo, and people's minds settle down, that's when the empire will take action against Goryeo."

"Of course, it is best to provoke Goryeo to rebel against the empire, so that we have enough reasons to classify Goryeo as a province of the empire."

After saying this, a sneer appeared on Lin Yi's face.

"Brother, this is awesome. Why didn't I think of this?" Zhao Hearing Lin Yi's words, he immediately gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.

"Brother Xie, as the crown prince of the empire, you still have to get in touch with these things more. Even if you don't use them in the future, you still have to understand them. Only in this way can the empire maintain long-term stability."

"By the way, in Dandong, do we have any Korean officers captured in our hands?"

"Brother, one of us is Zheng Zaixu, the captain of the Koryo Servant Army stationed in Dandong."

"Captain? He's qualified enough. Once we defeat the Ninth Division, you bring him over and I'll meet him to see if he can be used."

"If it can be used, we will have an extra chess piece in our hands. If it can't be used, then don't keep him."

"Yes, brother!" Zhao He didn't think there was anything wrong when he heard Lin Yi's words.

While Zhao Xi and Lin Yi were discussing, the train of the Ninth Division of the Sakura Empire was only an hour away from Dandong.

At this time, the Maokuishan artillery position outside Dandong City.

Zhou Chuyun was placing the artillery position. He was going to give the little cherry blossoms a blow first after the battle started.

He had never fired a few rounds from the VZ-14 heavy howitzer. This time, the prince said that he would unleash the maximum artillery attack in the shortest time.

This means that he can keep firing this heavy howitzer until he feels comfortable.

"Adjutant, have you finished marking the artillery scale I asked you to mark?" Zhou Chuyun shouted at the top of his lungs.

Mark the artillery's shooting scale in advance, so that after the war starts, you don't need to correct it and you can shoot directly according to the scale. In this way, the suddenness can be guaranteed and the opponent will not be given the slightest chance to counterattack.

"The report has been marked!" When Zhou Chuyun's adjutant heard Zhou Chuyun calling him, he quickly handed over a piece of paper with the rulers marked on it.

"Hehehe, with this thing, it's enough for those little cherry blossoms to drink a pot." Zhou Chuyun chuckled.
