    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 783

    "Master Chief of Staff, the commander-in-chief has arrived outside the gate."

    ? Chief of Staff Li Qiye and Zhang Bao, Chief of the Third Corps, were instructing the training of recruits. Hearing that General Chen Ru had arrived, a smile appeared on his face.

    "It seems that our commander-in-chief can't sit still." Li Qiye said to Zhang Bao with a smile.

    Li Qiye and the others now have assistance from the Jiangnan Province, and the days are getting better and better.

    The other legions are still having a very difficult life, and many soldiers even secretly want to vote for the third legion.

    Li Qiye deliberately refused to give weapons and supplies to the other legions, making them envious of the third legion.

    In fact, it was Li Qiye who deliberately wanted the other legions to put pressure on Marshal Chen Ru and make him realize the reality.

    After all, if a commander-in-chief cannot lead the army to victory and cannot ensure that the soldiers have enough to eat, then the army will also be disappointed with the commander-in-chief, which will lead to the separation of troops.

    Chen Ru is now in such an embarrassing situation. Let the troops support the war by fighting. They can neither defeat the rebels nor the southern army.

    But if they don't support war with war, they will go hungry again, so now they can only bow their heads to Chen Ziang.

    "Come on, let's go to meet you."

    Chief of Staff Li Qiye greeted Zhang Bao, the commander of the Third Corps, and others, and headed towards the gate of the camp.

    When Chen Ru, the marshal, was about to arrive at the Yuanmen of the Third Corps, he deliberately slowed down. After all, he also wanted face, and he still had to put on airs that should be put on.

    Seeing Li Qiye and others greet them from the camp, Chen Ru breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that if Li Qiye and the others did not come out to greet him, then he might be in trouble.

    "I didn't know that the commander-in-chief was coming, but I was far away to welcome him, and I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to make amends."

    Li Qiye led Zhang Bao and other officers in brand-new black uniforms to greet them with strides.

    "Don't blame those who don't know, the city is so stuffy, I'm going out for a walk, passing by your camp, come and have a look."

    Chen Ru looked at the soldiers around the camp who stood upright like javelins, and couldn't help but nodded.

    He knew that Li Qiye and the others formed the Third Corps, but he never expected that the Third Corps would take on a whole new look within just half a month.

    Looking at the tattered military uniforms of his guard soldiers, Chen Ru was also filled with emotion, he is such a useless commander.

    "Marshal, please rest in the camp."

    Li Qiye did not expose Chen Ru's lies, and warmly invited Chen Ru to visit the camp of the Third Corps.

    "Alright, then I'll go in and have a look."

    Surrounded by everyone, Chen Ru entered the camp of the Third Corps.

    Seeing the orderly barracks and the soldiers in high spirits, Chen Ru felt mixed feelings.

    Not long ago, Li Qiye and the others were having a hard time. In this short period of time, they changed their appearance, all of this was due to Chen Ziang.

    Thinking of Chen Ziang now sitting in Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, Chen Ru felt like a big stone was pressing on his heart, and he felt a lot of pressure.

    Chen Ru would never have imagined that the brat under his tent would have laid such a large foundation.

    This time, Chen Ru went to the Third Corps not only at the request of several other regiment commanders, hoping to get some supplies, but also wanted to find out from Li Qiye's side whether Chen Zi'ang had a peek at the position of commander-in-chief.

    Li Qiye naturally knew about Chen Ru's intentions, but Chen Ru didn't say anything, he pretended to be stupid on purpose.

    Li Qiye and the others enthusiastically took Chen Ru to visit various barracks and soldiers' drills, talking about unimportant things while visiting.

    "It's better to live a good life in your Third Corps. The other legions are almost out of food."

    In the evening, Li Qiye and the others prepared a sumptuous dinner for Chen Ru and his group to eat.

    Seeing the table full of food, Chen Ru was also deeply moved.

    "It's nothing to us. I heard that the brothers in Jiangnan Province eat meat for every meal." Zhang Bao, head of the regiment, said with a smile.

    "Is that true?"

    Chen Ru was full of doubts about this remark. After all, it was not a small expense to supply an army with meat every day.

    "If the commander-in-chief doesn't believe it, you can go to Jiangnan Province to take a look if you have time. It is now the territory of our Qinghe Army." Zhang Bao.Said with a proud face.

    Li Qiye added: "As long as the commander-in-chief is willing, he can leave for the Jiangnan Province at any time. After all, my general has repeatedly mentioned that he hopes that the commander-in-chief will go to the Jiangnan Province to command the overall situation."

    Li Qiye's idea is very simple. Once Chen Ru goes to the Jiangnan Province, it will be the territory of the Second Army, and what he will do at that time may not be up to him.

    "I want to go to Jiangnan province, but the fighting here is fierce, so I don't worry."

    Chen Ru is not a fool either, he naturally knows the consequences of going to Jiangnan Province, and he is afraid that he will become a puppet again by then.

    Seeing Chen Ru's reason, Li Qiye was also slandered in his heart. He was worried that the war was just an excuse. To put it bluntly, he still didn't want to delegate power.

    "The commander-in-chief can go with confidence. The battle here can be completely entrusted to us. We will not disappoint the commander-in-chief." Wang Hu, the deputy head of the army, also interjected.

    "Marshal, our Third Corps is no longer the same now. With the supplies from the Jiangnan Province, the brothers have changed their equipment. Even if they meet the elite rebels, they can still fight!" Deputy Corps Commander  Li Tiechui also echoed in a loud voice.

    "Your Third Corps now has supplies and support from Jiangnan Province, and is well-equipped. I am at ease."

    "It's just that there are so many rebels, and you can't support them alone. If the Jiangnan province can provide more supplies and equipment so that the brothers in the other legions can be like you, I won't worry about it."  .¡±

    "It turns out that the commander-in-chief is worried about this. I will send a letter to the general later, asking him to transport more weapons and equipment and food, and then distribute some to other friendly brothers." Li Qiye expressed his position immediately.

    "Can you transfer some now?"

    Chen Ru asked tentatively, because the purpose of his visit this time was to solve the food crisis of several other legions.

    "Marshal, to be honest, we don't have any extra equipment or food." Li Qiye showed a look of embarrassment.

    Li Qiye is also the master who does not see rabbits and does not cast eagles. He just wants to use supplies to put pressure on Chen Ru, so naturally he will not give it to him easily, unless Chen Ru is willing to go to the Jiangnan Province, or give way to Chen Ziang.

    After hearing Li Qiye's words, Chen Ru also showed disappointment, but quickly covered it up.

    "However, don't worry, Commander. When I have spare equipment and food, I will send some to the brothers in the friendly army." Li Qiye added.

    "well."

    Although Li Qiye spoke beautifully, Chen Ru still felt a little disappointed that he didn't ask for equipment and food.

    Chen Ru went to the Third Corps and returned without success. When they got the news, Liu Yidao and the others were also very disappointed.

    "It seems that I have to go on my own."

    Facing the blockade of the rebels and the southern army, Liu Yidao's Fourth Army was about to run out of food, so he decided to meet Li Qiye in person.

    Early the next morning, Liu Yidao, the regiment commander, went to the camp of the Third Corps in person.

    Liu Yidao didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained his intention of coming, hoping to get some food support.

    "General Liu, I will tell you the truth, we can allocate as much food and equipment as you want, but we also have one condition."

    Facing Liu Yidao, the commander of the Fourth Army who came to the door in person, Li Qiye also put forward his own conditions.

    "What conditions?" Liu Yidao asked.

    Li Qiye said bluntly: "I hope the Fourth Corps can fight with us."

    "What kind of coordinated combat method?"

    "Where are we going to fight, I hope the Fourth Army will go with us."

    "As long as my brothers have food and supplies, I can agree to this condition." Liu Yidao replied after thinking about it.

    "Okay, then it's a deal."

    "I hope we can cooperate happily." Li Qiye smiled and held out his hand.

    Marshal Chen Ru was unwilling to give up his post and bow his head. Li Qiye simply decided to bypass him and unite all the legions below to prepare for the next battle plan.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
