Shanxi occupied too quickly, which caused Ye Shaolong to be a little caught off guard, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could not effectively suppress the entire Shanxi no matter what. As a result, now Ye Shaolong is a little careless!

In desperation, he had to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses from the rear of the Beijing division again, which was able to alleviate the stability problem of Shanxi.

What Ye Shaolong didn't expect was that a large number of soldiers and horses were deployed in Shanxi, so that he had to stop his expansion.

Without a year, there is no way to attack other forces. Ye Shaolong began to reflect on whether it was feasible to continue to fight all the way with force like this?

As now, a large number of troops in the rear have been withdrawn for expansion, resulting in a very empty rear area. Once someone with a heart sneaks up, Ye Shaolong will fall into a situation where it is difficult to take care of both the beginning and the end.

After considering such a problem, Ye Shaolong almost gave up the entire Shanxi first. Fortunately, Li Cheng didn't agree, and let Ye Shaolong give him half a year, and he would make Shanxi completely stable.

Looking at Li Chengke, who swore and promised, Ye Shaolong finally agreed to him and handed over the entire Shanxi to Li Chengke to manage. He was named the commander of Shanxi, and the 30,000 Yejiabao army and the 30,000 previous surrendered troops were handed over to him to command.

Lin, Biao and Tie Ta followed Ye Shaolong back to the rear to sit in the town, in case Feng Guozhang of Hebei was secretly making trouble!

However, what Ye Shaolong never expected was that Feng Guozhang was regretting it at this moment.

After he learned that the sneak attack failed, he began to regret sending troops to attack the Yejiabao army. Now he has no possibility of making peace with Ye Shaolong!

This kind of news was very unfavorable to Feng Guozhang, and after consulting with the two generals, he felt that it was necessary to meet with several major forces in Shandong.

Only by being able to unite these forces can Feng Guozhang be able to contend with Ye Shaolong, and there is no other choice.

At present, there are three major representatives of forces in Shandong, namely Zhang Zuosheng, Zhang Jiachang and Yan Xisan, and these three people are the three representatives of Shandong.

Feng Guozhang must unite these three people as soon as possible and come together to deal with Ye Shaolong. But Feng Guozhang also knew in his heart that it was obviously not easy to persuade these three old foxes to fight side by side with him.

Fortunately, now Ye Shaolong's threat is in front of him, once he Feng Guozhang is defeated, then it will be when Ye Shaolong directly marches into Shandong.

Feng Guozhang has this as the capital for negotiations, and he is not afraid that the people in Shandong will not agree.

The three invitations were sent out quickly, and after a few days of anxious waiting, Feng Guozhang finally waited for Zhang Zuosheng, Zhang Jiachang and Yan Xisan.

Greeting the arrival of the three in the most solemn way, Feng Guozhang lowered his posture and tried his best to cater to the temper of the three.

The arrival of the three of them has already shown that they have a great chance of cooperating with Feng Guozhang, so Feng Guozhang does not need to make everyone unhappy for the sake of a little face.

A manly man can bend and stretch, and this little grievance is irrelevant!

The three of them were welcomed at a big banquet, and after being polite with them for a long time, Feng Guozhang finally stepped into the topic: "The three marshals can come, Feng is deeply honored, and now I just want to know what your intentions are for my previous proposal!" ”

As soon as they talked about business, the faces of the three handsomes suddenly lost their smiles, and Zhang Zuosheng was the first to speak: "Feng Dashuai, you don't need to be polite, since the three of us have been invited to come, we naturally have the intention to cooperate with you." But you should also know that all cooperation will involve interests, and how to distribute benefits is the basis of cooperation! ”

Yan Xisan agreed: "Yes, if you want to cooperate, you have to talk about interests first." Only when the interests are negotiated, can they be discussed later, otherwise everything is not negotiated. ”

Zhang Jiachang also nodded again and again, expressing his agreement with the previous two.

Feng Guozhang frowned, obviously, the three old foxes had already discussed it early in the morning, and one nostril was breathing. The battle has not been fought, and I don't know what interests I have to talk about before I win or lose, and it is clear that I want to squeeze myself.

Feng Guozhang was very unhappy at the moment, but fortunately, this time he didn't plan to ask for any benefits. As long as he can keep what he has now, nothing else is necessary.

In other words, that is a matter for the future, Feng Guozhang himself is more realistic, and he has always liked to take care of the immediate things first, and talk about the future later.

Seeing that the three people in front of him had already ventilated in advance, they joined forces to suppress themselves. Feng Guozhang didn't care, but he also wanted to hear what the three in front of him were thinking.

Feng Guozhang chuckled: "Okay, since the three marshals feel that they should talk about interests first, then let's talk about interests first." ”

The three of them all showed satisfied smiles on their faces when they heard this, and Zhang Zuosheng spoke again: "Since Feng Shuai is so bold, there is no need for us to be polite." After defeating Ye Shaolong, the capital and Yejiabao must be owned by me! ”

Zhang Jiachang was not polite, and hurriedly answered: "Baoding City and Tianjin City belong to me." ”

In the end, Yan Xisan also said with a smile: "Taiyuan, Datong and Changzhi belong to me." ”

Feng Guozhang's face fell at the moment, the three in front of him were really powerful, according to their distribution, in the end, only the useless Zhang Jiakou was left to him.

And if they do this, they will completely surround him Feng Guozhang, and if they really let them get their wish in the future, wouldn't he be in danger himself.

Feng Guozhang wanted to turn over the table and scold his mother, but in the end he tried to restrain the impulse in his heart. He took a deep breath to calm down his mood before nodding and saying, "Yes, it's no problem at all, is there anything else?" If not, then we will now move on to the question of how many troops each family will send. ”

Looking at Feng Guozhang, who was swallowing his anger, the three marshals secretly laughed in their hearts, but they were embarrassed to continue to add any conditions. Then they all said that there was no problem.

This time, Feng Guozhang didn't want to be passive anymore, so he simply reported what he knew first: "According to the information we inquired about, Ye Shaolong's current total strength should be around 100,000. Therefore, the strength of the four companies to cooperate this time must reach about 200,000. ”

"200,000 ......"

The three marshals frowned one after another, and their faces showed embarrassment.

"Why, you won't even refuse to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses each, right? Or do you think Ye Shaolong is easy to deal with? This time, Feng Guozhang really felt angry.

If the three people in front of him are not even willing to send 50,000 soldiers and horses each, then there is really no need for him to talk about it!

Zhang Zuosheng was still the first to speak: "Feng Shuai, you should also know the situation in our Shandong, which has been occupied by those widows for the past two years. We are also constantly fighting against it, and it is only in the first two months that we have achieved a phased victory, and there is not much military ration to supply such a large army. ”
