Shangqiu is adjacent to Shandong in the north, and Anhui in the south, here is the place where the soldiers must fight since ancient times, it is the ancient city wall is deep, there are many villages around, and there are soldiers who are deliberately arranged by Bi Zehua, it is really solid, Chen Jiongming and other generals of the Southeast Army came all the way, all of them were impressed by the dangers of the mountains and rivers in this place, and they all whispered to the Central China Army as an imaginary enemy, and discussed the strategy of attacking, and the generals of the Central China Army were all frightened when they heard it, and it reached Bi Zehua's ears, but they smiled slightly, full of pride, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuanren with fear of appreciation. This takes Shangqiu as a platform, on the one hand, it shows the strength of the Central China Army, shocks the Southeast Army, and makes Chang Zhenbang dare not covet Central China, on the other hand, Huairouan people, treats the Southeast Army, and forms a friendship with it. The actions of the generals of the Southeast Army were also expected by Zhao Yuanren and told him, so it seems that according to Zhao Yuanren's calculations, he can't run away from Cao Zhi and Chang Gan's two major factions to dominate Huazhong, thinking of this, he can't help but feel proud, but seeing Bi Jinjian's contemptuous and contemptuous attitude towards Zhao Yuanren, he couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "Fish have a way to fish, turtles have a way to turtles, the old man is in charge of Central China is like this, after the boss oversees Central China, he has his own famous and good generals to help him, Why bother with that old man! ”

I was thinking about it, and I had arrived at the foot of Shangqiu City, only to see the city gate open, and the generals of the Chinese army led by Bao Dequan, the guard of Guide Town, knelt on the left, the civil and military officials of Kaifeng Dao and Chang Zhenbang knelt on the right, Bi Zehua and Chang Zhenbang and others, but others knelt, but Yin Yeji of Kaifeng Dao was standing in front of him to give people a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Bao Dequan saw Bi Zehua coming, and greeted him with a smirk, and went up to be an old-fashioned green camp that prevailed in the thousand salutes, and before Bi Zehua could command, he knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "The lowly Guide Town Guard Bao Dequan led all the officers and soldiers of the Guide Town Guard to welcome the patrol envoy Chang Lord, and the overseer Bi Lord!" Hello two adults! ”

Bi Zehua pointed to Bao Dequan and said to Chang Zhenbang very proudly: "This person Bao Dequan, although he has a bad background, he is sincere, can fight tough battles, and is the old man's humerus. ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced at Bao Dequan and said with a smile: "What a good man!" The teacher has this kind of reason, why worry about the instability of Huazhong! ”

After listening to Chang Zhenbang's praise, Bao Dequan and Bi Zehua were both very satisfied. At this time, Yin Yeji of Kaifeng Dao walked over slowly, and just made a gesture to Chang Zhenbang and Bi Zehua: "The two adults have come from afar, and the martial arts officials of Kaifeng Dao have been out of the city to welcome the adults for a long time, and they have also killed pigs and sheep in the city to reward the three armies, and the two adults are really not suitable to be outside the city gate for a long time, and they have indifferent the deep friendship of the people of Shangqiu!" ”

Bi Jinjian said in Chang Zhenbang's ear: "It's a stubborn old man who doesn't know what to do, there are so many guys in Central China, so Qian Defa has made a lot of trouble, if one day my brother and I become in power, sooner or later these old people will be driven into the Yellow River, so as not to be embarrassed here." "He is Bi Zehua's eldest son, the future overseer of Central China, and he wants to speak unscrupulously, so he didn't hide these words from Ye Ji and others.

In fact, in Bi Jinjian's eyes, this Ye Ji is something, but he is an old guy who is in the same year as President Xu, the former Qing Dynasty is the Dao Yin of Kaifeng Dao, although Emperor Yuan temporarily acted as the governor of Central China in the middle, but after all, he still did not become the official governor, but was kicked down, and he is still a Kaifeng Dao Yin, and the more he lives, the more stupid he becomes. For this kind of person, there is naturally no need to give any face.

Zhao Yuanren couldn't help coughing, and said to Ye Ji: "Lord Ye, the eldest prince came in and was busy with official business, and his mind couldn't turn away, and I hope that my lord will not care about the thin face of the overseer!" ”

Bi Zehua also said with a smile: "Lao Ye, this kid is busy with military affairs, and his brain can't turn away, you can't be an uncle with general knowledge." ”

Ye Ji said coldly: "The eldest prince is a military general, and I am a civil official, how can I be as knowledgeable as this person!" The two adults should go into the city quickly, and don't let so many civil and military officials and ordinary people waste it. Please~! ”

Bi Zehua was a little disgusted by his words, and a pair of kind eyebrows that were finally drummed up suddenly picked up, he respected this Ye Ji is Xu Shichang, Yuan Shikai's old man, let him score three points in everything, if he dares to stir up trouble for himself today, it will be the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will have to clean up, Chang Zhenbang saw this, and hurriedly said: "Brothers follow me to the north all the way to the mountains and rivers, a lot of hardships, it is really unbearable, and I hope that the overseer can let me and other brothers go to the city to recuperate." Seeing Chang Zhenbang say this, Bi Zehua just glared at Ye Ji fiercely, smiled and took Chang Zhenbang's hand and strode into Guide City between the kneeling civil and military officials.

"The people of Germany welcome the two adults into the city!"

The kneeling civil and military officials shouted respectfully, and on both sides were countless men, women and children wearing red and green, holding garlands, playing banners, holding eggs, and holding tea and wine jugs, as soon as they saw the arrival of the army, they made a deafening welcome sound, the voice was uniform, and the movements were also the same as a thousand people, tightly holding the white-faced steamed bun side to the southeast army and the central China army, stretched out and reluctant to put it down, and wanted to retract it, but they were extremely afraid, fortunately, at this time the army hurried over, and also let these people breathe a sigh of relief, Take the opportunity to look left and right to see that there is no living person, so that the huge white flour bun is stuffed in the mouth, bulging half of the face is bulging, when he is lucky, he feels that he is pulled behind him violently, and the whole person is dragged back, and before he can see who it is, he was dragged to a hidden place, and he came up with a punch and kick, only the air intake is less, and the air is more than it!

After entering the city, first Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army ate and drank, then the 29th division and the 30th division changed from Xuzhou to eat and drink, and finally Zhao Laosi's guard division, which is scattered, even if it repeats the mistake of Hanyang Sun Chuanfangmeng overturning a division, it is not just the whole army that is wiped out on the meal, Bi Zehua was puzzled by this, but Zhao Yuanren couldn't help but nodded, the so-called advance and retreat have a law, this is the real way to use soldiers, and Bi Zehua can't pretend to be good no matter how he pretends to be.

In the town guard embassy, there has long been a table full of Manchu and Han seats, this Bi Zehua has the intention of currying favor with Chang Zhenbang, and naturally uses the best and cherished materials, it is said that the master chef in charge of the spoon is from the palace, so this meal Chang Zhenbang and others are very happy, and the officers and officers of the Central China Army on the table are also extremely enthusiastic about pulling the relationship, especially Zhao Laosi and others in the guard division, who originally walked out of the Central China Army, and naturally has a lot of relatives and friends, Zhao Laosi is not stage frightened, whoever comes will give face, and everyone will drink wine, There is a great posture of Zhuge Liang's tongue and fighting the group of Confucianism, but he is also good at drinking, drinking one by one to lay down seventeen or eighteen generals of the Central China Army, making the Central China soldiers endanger, Bi Zehua complained bitterly, Chang Zhenbang took the opportunity to say: "Thank you for the teacher's hospitality, the students are now full of wine and food, and they are a little tired." ”

Bi Zehua said: "If Zhenbang is tired, let Jin Jian help you go to the back hall to rest for a while, he has a lot to say, what do you want to say to your good brother?" ”

Bi Jinjian immediately dropped the pork knuckle in his hand, grabbed a napkin and wiped his hands full of hand grease, wiped his mouth, and said with a big grin: "Brother Chang, I'll take you there!" Saying that, as soon as he reached out and grabbed Chang Zhenbang, he was going to drag him away, but he didn't want his body to be empty recently, where could he pull Chang Zhenbang, but he couldn't pull it, but he hit Chang Zhenbang's arms with a bang, Chang Zhenbang hurriedly held him and said: "Brother, you're drunk, I think it's better for the younger brother to hold you!" ”

Seeing that Bi Jinjian was so embarrassed, Bi Zehua's face couldn't help but turn blue, and just wanted to live, Zhao Yuanren stood up with a smile and said, "Since the eldest prince and Chang are drunk, don't let me go!" Bi Zehua was overjoyed, but pretended to be angry and reprimanded Bi Jinjian, and said, "You little cubs, you just don't let the old people worry!" Then there is Brother Lao Xian to bother! ”

After the three of them arrived at the room prepared by Bi Zehua for Chang Zhenbang, Bi Jinjian sat down on the chair with a golden sword, and said very proudly: "Brother, Daddy has set a good deal for you, silk futon mahogany bed, a girl who is on a leisurely trip, haha." ”

Zhao Yuanren cautiously poked his head out of the house and looked left and right, and after no one was there, he carefully closed the door, gently poured a cup of tea for Chang Zhenbang and Bi Jinjian, and said: "My lord, please drink some tea and sober up, let's talk about business next?" ”

Bi Jinjian took the tea and drank it, and the cigarette addiction slowly rushed over like a tide, and after he hit several haches in a row, he stretched his waist and said: "Call two beautiful chicks to warm the quilt for Brother Chang for a while, that is, what else can you do?" You're a fool, old fellow. ”

Chang Zhenbang respectfully held it in his hand and said, "Brother, if you are tired, don't let go to my bed and lie down first, my younger brother is not clear now, and he needs to drink some tea." ”

"That's embarrassing." Although he said this, Bi Jinjian still yawned, Wang Chang Zhenbang leaned on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Chang Zhenbang gently touched him with his hand and said, "Brother! Dude! ”

After screaming a few times, Bi Jinjian just reached out and pushed Chang Zhenbang's hand, turned over, and still fell asleep snoring, seeing him like this, Chang Zhenbang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhao Yuanren and said: "The eldest prince is asleep, Mr. Zhao's affairs are estimated to be much easier." ”

Zhao Yuanren sighed and said, "In the past, maybe I would be happy, but even now I won't be sad, but I don't know if the adults are ready." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "It seems that the student movement that has been stormy and boiling is not useless. ”

Zhao Yuanren glanced at Chang Zhenbang, sighed and said: "Personal honor and disgrace are nothing compared to the rise and fall of the country. The old man is here for the future and belonging of Central China, and I hope that Chang Daren can have a heart-to-heart discussion with the old man. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "It is commendable that Mr. can let go of the loyalty of one family and one surname, and the younger generation naturally does not dare to blaspheme Mr. with a deceitful heart." ”

Zhao Yuanren glanced at the eldest prince on the bed and said, "The old man is here to discuss the alliance with Chang Zhenbang, the patrol envoy of the Nine Lions of the Southeast, entrusted by Lord Bi Zehua, the overseer of Central China. ”

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Bi Zehua attaches Central China to the southeast, and I support the Bi family's father and son to guard Central China in exchange for my support for the Bi family's father and son? ”

"Isn't this condition good? It's not a loss for Chang adults! Zhao Yuan said.

Chang Zhenbang said: "This condition is good, just to be honest, with a loach like Bi Zehua, how can he only be loyal to the southeast, the same condition, I believe he has already been opened to Cao Zhi!" ”

Zhao Yuanren was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Master Chang can think of this layer, no wonder he has occupied the southeast in three or five years, yes, this condition was indeed given to Wu Peifu, and Cao Kun also agreed." ”

"With Wu Peifu's guarantee, Bi Zehua can rest assured!" Chang Zhenbang said with a smile.

Zhao Yuanren said: "Wu Peifu has a wolf Gu Xiang, he can't be too far, if he is too far, he will be hated, he can't be too close, and if he is close, he will be devoured!" Now Cao Zhi does not use the place of the two provinces to fight against Duan Qirui, after success, there will be many people who belong to him, the more this is the case, the more he wants to circle Central China as his place, in order to control the heroes and dominate the world! Therefore, no matter whether Cao Zhi wins or loses, Central China is in danger, and only those who take refuge in Chang can keep Central China, which is the old man's advice to Bi Dujun. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "This condition is too thin, not to mention, but Mr. won't bother talking about the Bi family now, right?" ”

Zhao Yuanren said: "Now Chinese culture is in danger of extinction!" The old man is very worried, thinking about it, the only way to exchange the land of Central China for the promise of the adult's maintenance of China, and I hope that the adult will not refuse! ”

Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said: "The old gentleman's kindness, Zhenbang understands it, but the theory of destroying the country and exterminating the species is inevitably a bit alarmist. ”

Zhao Yuanren sighed and said: "Everything has a certainty, how can there be an undefeated army in the world?" The Immortal Nation? In ancient times, Egypt showed off its military might, Chinese civilization was humane, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chinese civilization was exterminated by Jingchu culture several times, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Chinese culture was carried forward, and when it came to the time of Western learning in the east, the two were compared, and they were also divided into courts, and when they were defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese people blamed the culture, how innocent is the culture? Moreover, China ranks sixth in the world and second in Asia! As long as you recuperate and don't incite Wu Yong, you can become rich and strong and the forest of the world, you are thieves with ulterior motives, and you can often use the Heavenly Empire to incite ignorant village hooligans, in the eyes of these people, it seems that as long as the country is not the first country in the world, it is incorrigibly poor and weak, it is really ignorant, and now these people are even more cut off my culture and destroy my foundation! If Chinese people don't speak Chinese, don't write Chinese, and don't learn Chinese customs, how can they separate China from the vast world? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "What the old gentleman said is not unreasonable, from the time of Zhenbang Dongying's study, I have seen college students and professors in Tokyo discuss Western culture, Chinese culture, and the comparison of Dongying culture, the old professor said that the culture is very simple, parents call their children boy or son will not change the relationship between each other, nor will it promote the strength of the country, the Western country Italy was once the center of Europe, and was not also frightened by the navy of the Qing Empire? What I really care about is the people, as long as the country's citizens are positive and full of vitality, the country can rise even though it is backward, if the country is dull and does not want to forge ahead and blindly shirks, it is the world's first and will eventually be pulled down by the latecomers, so the hope of the country does not lie in the culture but in the people! ”

Zhao Yuanren sighed: "It's a pity that there are no such teachers in China, and even if they do, they are not recognized!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Isn't Mr. such a teacher? If Mr. is tired of Central China, Zhenbang welcomes Mr. to teach at the Guangzhou Military Academy, hoping that Mr. will explain this truth clearly to those children, so that they can abandon the idea of complaining about heaven and others, and become full of vitality. ”

Zhao Yuanren said: "Adults can have such thoughts, the old man is really grateful, Huazhong ......"

Chang Zhenbang suddenly shouted at Zhao Yuanren, signaled him not to say anything, turned around and pulled out the saber at his waist, and stabbed towards the door!
