Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Su Zhengyang had just returned to his room and was about to rest when the system's voice rang in his mind again.

[Ding! The system has released a new mainline mission: Dominate one side. Please become the dominant force in Sanjiang County within two months and eliminate all potential threats.]

Su Zhengyang frowned and thought. The current security team has just grown to its full strength. Ninety-nine percent of the soldiers are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. It will take time for them to grow as quickly as possible. By then, coupled with the luxurious weapons in his hands, the other forces in Sanjiang County will have no chance of resisting him.

The next morning, Du Yuxin sent someone to the residence to invite Su Zhengyang to his house for a chat.

Su Zhengyang happily took Liu Kangding to the appointment.

In the reception room of the Du Mansion, the old fox Du Yuxin asked tentatively: "My dear nephew, I heard that dozens of military vehicles came to deliver supplies to your security team last night. What do you think of the future development of the security team?"

The reason why Du Yuxin was so eager to find out Su Zhengyang's thoughts was because supplies were delivered one after another, and Su Zhengyang's rapid and high-profile expansion of the security team to a size of two thousand people made him feel a little uneasy.

"Uncle Du, I plan to spend all my energy on training the security guards. After the three-month training period, I will lead them to completely eliminate the bandit problems near Sanjiang County. This will also help me gain experience."

Du Yuxin pointedly said, "Dozens of truckloads of supplies, that's a lot of stuff, nephew, I underestimated you. It seems that the Su family's influence in Jiangbei is still as strong as it was in the past."

In Du Yuxin's opinion, these vehicles transporting supplies all came from Jiangbei and had to pass through the territories of four or five warlords along the way. This required a lot of connections to smooth the way.

"It's just to wipe out some minor bandits, there's no need to go to such great lengths."

Du Yuxin looked at Su Zhengyang meaningfully. Last night, Du Yuxin thought about it all night and felt that Su Zhengyang suddenly came to Sanjiang County and transported so many supplies from Jiangbei over a long distance. He might be a warlord from Jiangbei who wanted to get involved in the territory in the northwest.

What puzzled Du Yuxin was why the Guo family turned a blind eye to so many supplies and watched them being sent to Sanjiang County.

Su Zhengyang also understood Du Yuxin's concerns, and immediately gave him a reassurance, saying, "Uncle Du, please rest assured. No matter how the situation changes in the future, the Du family will always be my Su Zhengyang's friend."

Looking at Su Zhengyang's sincere eyes, Du Yuxin hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I feel relieved with your words, nephew. If you encounter any difficulties in Sanjiang County, just tell me. If I can help, my Du family will definitely help."

Su Zhengyang sneered in his heart. During these days in Sanjiang County, he had almost completely investigated the dirty deeds of the Du and Ma families. Not only did they annex land on a large scale and oppress the local people, they also lent money at high interest rates, opened brothels, and even smuggled contraband and trafficked in people.

Those people who were forced to borrow money from the Du family had to use their own land as collateral. Later they found out that the high-interest loans could never be repaid, and eventually their families were broken up. The young and strong men in the family were forcibly sent to the 358th Regiment to serve as soldiers, and the women were taken to brothels to sell themselves. Those with extraordinary beauty were used by Du Xiaojun, the head of the Du family, as stepping stones to a higher status.

After being packaged and dressed up, it was given to high-ranking generals of the Guo faction warlords. They were guilty of all kinds of evil and their crimes are too numerous to list.

The local police chief, Wu Dehou, is also the son-in-law of the Du family, and the county magistrate Ma Jiawei is in cahoots with them. The people have no way to report to the authorities and can only silently endure the long-term oppression of the Du family.

Once he has fully established his power, the first things he will solve are these malignant tumors in Sanjiang County.

After the two men talked for a while, Su Zhengyang said goodbye and returned to the base.

For the next two months, the security regiment was peaceful and the soldiers had achieved considerable results after long-term arduous training.

After all, the former guard squad veteran who was responsible for coordinating their training, and Qin Huaiyi, were both battle-hardened and hot-tempered warriors.

Under their training, the military quality of the security corps soldiers is no less than that of the regular troops under the major warlords, and may even be better.

Now the new recruits of the security corps have begun live-fire training. With an unlimited supply of bullets, many talented soldiers have stood out. Su Zhengyang believes in a saying that true sharpshooters are fed with bullets.

Among them, Liu Ershun is a gifted person. After a month of live-fire training, Liu Ershun has been able to accurately hit moving targets at a distance of 98 meters using a K rifle.

At this moment, Su Zhengyang was sitting in the sun, watching Liu Ershun's performance with great interest.

Four hundred meters away, Qin Huaiyi released a big fat pig. After Liu Ershun adjusted his breathing, he quickly took aim. With a bang, a gunshot rang out and the bullet hit the pig's head accurately, causing a splash of blood.

"This pig today is your reward. Ask the kitchen staff to slaughter the pig tonight and make braised pork. All soldiers will have a share!"

The soldiers burst into cheers. Although the training was hard during the two months in the security regiment, they had meat for lunch every day, and there was an unlimited supply of steamed buns and rice, so that the soldiers' nutrition could keep up with the high-intensity training.

Su Zhengyang even asked people to purchase a large number of eggs from Sanjiang County every day, almost buying up all the eggs in Sanjiang County, just so that the soldiers could have a boiled egg for breakfast every day.

Today, the soldiers of the security corps are all valiant and vigorous. They march in step with their heads held high and shout slogans with full energy. They are no longer as dark, thin and cowardly as they were when they first joined the security corps.

"Okay! Tell the kitchen staff to give Liu Ershun a can of beef as a reward for dinner tonight!"

As soon as Su Zhengyang finished speaking, the soldiers cast envious glances at Liu Ershun.

Liu Ershun also obediently carried his gun on his back, came to Su Zhengyang and saluted, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Captain!"

Su Zhengyang laughed and shouted, "You little brats, stop being envious. If you can practice your shooting skills to be as accurate as Ershun, everyone will get a share of the canned beef!"

Qin Huaiyi came to Su Zhengyang and said, "Captain, the soldiers of our security regiment are almost trained, but having been on the battlefield and not being on the battlefield are two different concepts. What I mean is that we can let them move around and use the bandits near Sanjiang County to train them."

Su Zhengyang nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, let's ask a few battalion commanders to come to my room to study together tonight. After training the soldiers for so long, it's time to show off their swords!"
