Warlords: Rise of the System

After Lu Tianhao and a group of generals received the news, they all showed gloomy looks on their faces.

Wang Hui said angrily, "The enemy is trying to make us kill each other!" His tone was full of anger and helplessness.

Lu Tianhao's face was originally frighteningly gloomy, but soon he seemed to have figured something out and spoke with relief.

"In fact, although the enemy's actions did not bring us much benefit, it finally saved the people from suffering, which is a good thing."

Li Guangjie shook his head and sighed deeply.

“Although the bandits and the multinational coalition forces have handed over the occupied areas in the south to various warlords, can the people really escape from their suffering?

Under the control of the warlords, their lives will probably not be easy..." His voice was filled with deep worry.

Lu Tianhao smiled and consoled her, "No matter how hard it is, it is much better than being under the iron hoof of the bandits.

No matter how weak the warlord's troops are, they will not burn, kill and loot the people like bandits do.

At least, the safety of the people should be guaranteed to a certain extent."

Wang Hui showed reluctance on his face, and he clenched his fists and said, "Marshal, we are about to drive the bandits and the multinational coalition forces out of the three provinces we have already attacked.

I didn’t expect these hateful warlords would actually want to reap the ready-made fruits of victory!

Marshal, do you think we should launch an attack on these warlords immediately?"

Lu Tianhao shook his head to express his disagreement.

He said with a firm gaze, “Now is not the time to start a civil war.

As long as these warlords do not attack us first, we really cannot find a suitable reason to take the initiative to attack them.

If we launch a direct attack, it will inevitably cause nationwide public pressure.

We can try to send envoys to contact these warlords and see if we can resolve this matter through peaceful means.”

Wang Hui nodded after hearing this, and suddenly his mind became clear. "Good idea! I will immediately arrange for someone to follow up on this matter and see if we can win over those warlords with a sense of justice.

If we succeed, we can expand our territory without spending a single soldier."

Lu Tianhao thought with a serious expression, and then asked again, "Have our scouts found out where those bandits and the multinational coalition forces retreated to?"

A general in charge of intelligence work replied respectfully, "The scouts ahead have not sent back any news.

However, based on the current situation, the bandits and the multinational coalition forces are very likely to choose to evacuate by sea."

Lu Tianhao nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with the general’s point of view, and added, “You are right.

If the enemy wanted to escape southward, they would have to pass through the areas controlled by the warlords.

However, these warlords would never allow them to pass easily.

After all, once the bandits and the multinational coalition forces launched a surprise attack in the name of borrowing the passage, these warlords would probably find it difficult to resist.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the only feasible retreat route for the bandits and the multinational coalition forces is the sea."

Wang Hui said gloomily, "What a pity!

Our fleet is too far away from them to intercept them on the sea.

Otherwise, how could they easily let these bandits and the multinational coalition forces go?"

His tone was full of reluctance and anger, and he seemed to feel extremely regretful for failing to stop the enemy's retreat.

Lu Tianhao suddenly had an idea and realized a key problem, "The bandits will never easily hand over Mingdao Province to the warlords.

Therefore, immediately dispatch three divisions from the southern front, and I will then dispatch several naval fleets to support these three divisions and recapture Ming Island."

At this time, Wang Hui said, "Marshal! I can't help but feel suspicious now. The bandits and the multinational coalition forces are very likely to have evacuated to Mingdao Province.

If this is true, then the number of troops of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces on Ming Island is at least more than 300,000.

We only sent three divisions to launch the attack, and our manpower was clearly insufficient!

After all, we are the ones taking the initiative, so the troops we send must be at least equal to the enemy's."

After Lu Tianhao pondered for a moment, he nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. In order to avoid a huge gap in the strength of the enemy and us.

Then let the troops on the southern front draw out six divisions of strength and follow the naval fleet to attack Mingdao Province.

The strength of these six divisions, even if it is not 30, should not be much different.

In this way, even if the enemy has more troops, our troops should be able to capture Ming Island."

Lu Tianhao's order was quickly passed down.

This time, a total of three dual-aircraft carrier fleets were dispatched, carrying a large number of troop landing craft, ready to cooperate with the six divisions of the Army to launch an attack on Ming Island.

In the conference room, Wang Hui asked again, "Marshal! Although the bandits and the multinational coalition forces have carried out a comprehensive retreat on the southern front.

They also ceded territory to warlords in the south.

However, according to information reported by scouts, due to their rapid retreat, many areas were left without troops stationed.

Should we send our troops on the southern front to quickly occupy these unruly areas?"

Lu Tianhao looked at the map firmly and said, "That's for sure.

I believe our frontline troops will seize this opportunity and act quickly.

They know how to seize opportunities and will not miss any chance to expand their territory."

He was full of confidence and believed that his army had enough ability and wisdom to deal with this situation.

Lu Tianhao continued, "Since this issue has been mentioned, let's issue an order.

Order our troops to have no more concerns and to go all out to occupy all areas without government management.

If we encounter a warlord's army trying to stop us, we must first treat them with courtesy.

If they don't appreciate it, don't blame us for being rude and we will just confiscate their weapons and equipment.

As long as they dare to shoot first, that is a legitimate reason for us to take action.

This way, we can legitimately occupy more territory.”

After hearing this, Wang Hui and others all had strange looks on their faces. They had not expected that their commander-in-chief had such a sinister side.

Just as the meeting was about to end, scouts at the front brought good news that the bandits and the multinational coalition forces had indeed withdrawn to Mingdao Province.

The news made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as the bandits and the multinational coalition forces do not evacuate to other places, the upcoming battle of Ming Island may very likely be the end of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces.

Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming battle of Ming Island.

As long as these bandits and the multinational coalition forces are eliminated, there will be no bandits and the multinational coalition forces in the entire southern battlefield.

They knew that this battle would be difficult, but it was also a rare opportunity.

Just then, another good news came.
