Li Shirui smiled bitterly, and Wang Yongan instructed again: "Ji Ling, you can rest assured and boldly go to Sichuan to be the commander of the 17th Division of the National Defense Army, and you have to use all kinds of means to make them kill each other, and when the civil war of the Sichuan Army spreads to Xikang, it is the time for you to turn the tide, and it is also the time when our Jiangbei Army annexes Sichuan and rises in the southwest." ”

"I can do that, but...... It's just ......" Li Shirui said with a bitter face: "It's just that I'm afraid that everyone will scold me, and I won't be able to straighten my waist in the future." ”

Wang Yongan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I will hold a secret meeting to clear your suspicions, just tomorrow, tomorrow night I will invite everyone to dinner, only invite some of the most important military figures, and the number is not too large, Feng Heng, Li Yao, Li Zuzhi, Chen Jian, Liu Hui, Su Lansheng, Fan Wentai, Niu Guangfu, Luo Yinxian, Wang Zhi." ”

On the evening of the next day, Wang Yongan really summoned Feng Heng and other important generals of the Jiangbei Department to a secret dinner, and everyone asked Wang Yongan to let the personal guard chief take the guard to retreat the others and guard from a distance, so they understood that there should be an important event announced at this dinner.

Sure enough, as soon as the banquet began, Wang Yongan pulled out a figure that surprised everyone, Yuan Shikai's senior adviser He Jie.

Regarding He Jie, everyone actually said that they didn't understand, but they didn't know it, and He Xie lobbied Wang Yongan to give up "autonomy" and support Yuan Shikai to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China. Of course, He Jie's persuasion was only a result, and the cause was the decline in the continuous combat strength of the Jiangbei system, and the 30 million Jiangbei people continued to recuperate, and at the same time, the Jiangbei system also hoped to overthrow the Manchu Empire and establish a republic as soon as possible. So everyone still has a certain understanding of He Jie, but in today's situation, how did He Jie, a non-Jiangbei core figure, appear here?

Wang Yongan smiled slightly, raised his glass and said: "Come, let's raise a glass to welcome the new members, everyone should be familiar with it, how to understand He Shenyuan, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi." Since then, He Xie has been our man, but his office is more special, he works next to the president, and still serves as a senior adviser to the president. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that He Xie was bought by Wang Yongan and became a senior spy.

Wang Yongan said: "After drinking this glass of wine, from now on, He Jie's identity will no longer be heard by the fourteenth person outside of the audience, do you know?" At any time, this matter can only rot in the hearts of thirteen of you and me, which is not only for our Jiangbei department, but also for what to understand. ”

"Brother Shen Yuan, it's been a hard work." Feng Heng took the lead in raising his glass and said, and then drank it all. Others also hurriedly raised their glasses and promised that they would never leak He Jie's identity, and He Xie had 10,000 *** flying by in his heart, and his identity was "made public" like this, and he would definitely have no way to betray Jiangbei in the future.

After Wang Yongan and He Xie clinked glasses, he turned to everyone and said: "Brothers, why do I have to introduce He Xie first today, because President Yuan Da can't rest assured of us, he is afraid that we will step on his tail, so he sent He Xie to Xikang Province and used the discord scheme to make our Jiangbei people mess up." The so-called divisive plan is nothing more than promising high-ranking officials and money beauties to our people, which is a sugar-coated cannonball stuffed by President Yuan Da to us. However, he didn't expect that He Xie would join us as soon as he arrived in Xikang, and after careful consideration in the past few days, I decided to take care of the plan, eat the sugar coating, and throw away the cannonballs. ”

Everyone raised their heads and listened attentively, what does it mean to eat the sugar coating and throw away the cannonballs? I heard the word sugar-coated cannonball once, and when I think about it, it's quite appropriate.

Wang Yongan sneered: "I discussed with Li Shirui and asked him to be used as bait to seduce President Yuan Shikai to take the bait. ”

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Li Shirui in surprise and asked him to be used as a bait, this bait was enough for Yuan Shikai to be stunned.

Li Shirui smiled bitterly and arched his hand to everyone.

In his heart, Li Shirui really felt happy and grateful for Wang Yongan to cover up his ambitions, if the truth was announced, he would no longer have the face to face everyone. He actually regrets it very much in his heart, people always have times when they are confused, and his confusion almost makes him a sinner for the ages. It can be said that Wang Yongan once again saved Li Shirui and made him still a hero of Jiangbei, so that instead of becoming a traitor, he became Jiangbei's dependence.

Feng Heng also heard about it for the first time, it seems that this plan has not been over, what is going on, he needs to see if it is. And Li Yao smiled even more, it seems that there is a set in this matter today, and he must ask Yun Shuai carefully another day.

Jian Chen couldn't help but say, "This bait is quite heavy." ”

Wang Yongan said: "The reason why I chose Li Shirui is that there is a certain reason, it is not that I chose Li Shirui to sacrifice myself, but that Yuan Shikai chose Li Shirui to divide Li Shirui and our entire Jiangbei system." Ladies and gentlemen, the three army divisions of the Zhenbian Army quelled the Kangzang Rebellion within three months, but the president only praised Li Shirui alone, which was intended to make Li Shirui the target of public criticism. The purpose of President Yuan Da sending He Xie to Xikang was to use high-ranking officials to win Li Shirui out of the army on the edge of the town. Brothers, President Yuan's plan for us is not now, but has been calculated half a year ago, if his plan is successful, our Jiangbei department will face the danger of falling apart for the first time. ”

Everyone was immediately filled with righteous indignation, and Jian Chen shouted: "Dog's ...... Dog ...... "He suddenly thought that Yuan Shikai was still Wang Yongan's father-in-law, if Yuan Shikai was a dog, then what was Wang Yongan, but fortunately he kept his voice.

Wang Yongan didn't care about everyone's attitude, he raised his chopsticks and said: "Brothers, do you know how much Yuan Shikai used to win over Li Shirui and divide the Jiangbei Department? He even asked Li Shirui to go to Sichuan Province to serve as the deputy of Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan, and serve as the commander of the Sichuan Army and the commander of the 17th Division of the National Defense Army. As you know, there are 200,000 people in the Sichuan army, and even the establishment of the 17th Division is the highest 40,000 in the entire national defense army, so the commander of the 17th division of the national defense army is the official position that all Sichuan warlords dream of. But today he asked Li Shirui to be the commander of the Sichuan Army, he was putting Li Shirui on the fire and barbecuing, how sinister his intentions were. More importantly, if our Jiangbei department wants to seize the five southwestern provinces, we must first seize Sichuan, and if Li Shirui betrays Jiangbei and becomes the commander of the Sichuan army, he will inevitably frantically guard against us. In this way, our Jiangbei Army and Sichuan Army will inevitably fight fiercely, and his Beiyang Department will definitely reap the benefits of fishermen. ”

Wang Yongan's words caused everyone to discuss, and everyone was shocked by Yuan Shikai's methods, what kind of person is this Yuan Shikai, how could he think of such a vicious strategy, once Yuan Shikai succeeds, the Jiangbei Department is really dangerous.

So everyone scolded Yuan Shikai, no longer caring that he was Wang Yongan's father-in-law, and Chen Jian slapped the table and shouted: "I'm fucking leading troops to Beijing and capturing Yuan Da Fat alive." ”

Liu Hui smiled: "Why are you capturing him alive, shall we give him an offering?" He must be able to eat if he is so fat, we can't afford to raise it. ”

Li Zuzhi immediately said: "You might as well kill him, so as not to bring him to the big handsome, and the two will be embarrassed after they meet." ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone couldn't help laughing and looked at Wang Yongan teasingly, after all, Yuan Shikai is Wang Yongan's father-in-law, but this father-in-law is not very good, he actually wants to put his son-in-law to death.

Wang Yongan said: "Alas, it is said that fat people have no heart, and my old father-in-law has so many eyes that it is like being pierced by a hedgehog." When everyone heard Wang Yongan ridicule Yuan Shikai like this, they couldn't help but laugh again.
