In order to repay Tong Linge for helping him attack Luonan's friendship and protect him as the envoy of Luonan Town, Chang Zhenbang readily agreed, and appointed Sun Lianghua as the Daoyin of Guanzhong Dao, and ordered him to assist Tong Linge in rectifying the old departments of the National Army, and in line with the principle of removing the chaff and retaining the essence, Tong Linge and others were allowed to retain the establishment of a three-division group army.

During the Battle of Taiyuan, Wu Peifu took advantage of Zhang Zuolin's hesitation to quickly send troops to Outer Mongolia, and quickly decided to use both soft and hard, forcing Tang Yulin, the capital of Outer Mongolia, to change his banner, which greatly weakened the strategic depth of the Zhang family father and son. Nine out of ten of these Mongolian bandits are Mongolian people who have been playing on horseback since childhood, fighting on horseback is just a game for them, even if there are a few Han people by chance, it is also a top one, they enter Jilin, all the way are chickens flying and dogs jumping, where men, women and children are not at peace, the terrifying atmosphere suddenly shrouded the heads of the people of Manchuria in Northeast China, the people are panicked, the rear is unstable, the Zhang family father and son are extremely frightened, want to collect the troops, but the main force is Wu Peifu pinned down under Fuxin City, dare not move. The non-main force of the army can not deal with these Mongolian bandits, it really makes the Zhang family father and son very sad, at this time, the Dongying Kwantung Army extended an olive branch to the Zhang family father and son, Zhang Zuolin gladly accepted, and immediately sent a delegation headed by Zhang Xueliang and supplemented by Yang Yuting to the Kwantung Hall to discuss relevant matters, as Zhang Zuolin further fell to the Kwantung Army, although the Kwantung Army did not directly send troops to interfere in the war between Chang Zhenbang and Zhang Zuolin, but made a move to send troops to assist Zhang Zuolin to defend Fengtian, Jilin, Haicheng and other places, Greatly liberated the manpower of the Northeast Army, under the leadership of Wu Junsheng, the overseer of Heilongjiang, vigorously suppressed the bandits, but his efforts to suppress the bandits were quite a little greater, no matter whether they were good or bad, they were even more powerful than the horse bandits, and the common people could suffer from the seedlings, but it was also effective, without the common people, these horse bandits had nowhere to rob, and after eating what they had at hand, they had to withdraw to Outer Mongolia, where did they think that it was easy to go from Outer Mongolia to Manchuria, but it was even more difficult to go from Manchuria to Outer Mongolia, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, most of the horse bandits had to be absorbed by Wu JunshengBut the military victory could not save the economic defeat, so many villages were slaughtered, so the county town was looted, and almost more than two-thirds of the entire Jilin was in ruins, not to mention the economic development of this year, it is a great joy to be able to relieve the inevitable relief of the province so as not to cause civil unrest.

Hanzhong and Guanzhong fell into the hands of the central government, and part of the defensive forces in western Henan were able to get out of the north, further consolidate Zhili, Beijing and Tianjin and other places, and support Wu Peifu who confronted Zhang Zuolin in disguise. Zhang Zuolin weighed it again and again, so he had to send an envoy to meet Wu Peifu.

Wu Peifu smiled when he saw it, don't look at him in the whole situation step by step, almost got a trick to hang Manchuria, outsiders have asked for war and are unwilling to shake hands with Zhang Zuolin, but he insisted on withdrawing his troops despite public opinion, just because he knew that what he had done before was just a bluff, if he really fought, as long as Fuxin missed, the entire Rehe would fall into the hands of Zhang Zuolin, with the strength in his own hands, it would be difficult to compete with Zhang Zuolin for a long time, as for those so-called Mongolian bandits, it was just a fragment.

A small pavilion fifty miles outside Fuxin City, in disrepair but standing, like a very old tree that is getting stronger and stronger, a small teapot under the pavilion is clattering with white smoke, Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu are sitting on both sides of the small teapot, the old god is looking at the fire, or staring at the smoke, no one said a word, Wang Jingwei on the side of the head smiled, quite attentively served, except for these three people, almost all the horse guards were staggered with each other and watched each other were withdrawn to thirty steps away.

They were relatively speechless to each other, but Wang Jingwei felt the huge pressure emanating from them, although this pressure was invisible, but it made it difficult for him to move, except for barely putting a smile on his face, it was very difficult to open his mouth to speak.

Time passed minute by minute, there is a way that lives like a year, but he is tormented every second as if he was tied up and roasted on the fire for a year.

I don't know how long it took, I heard a whine, like smoke and fog of steam rushed out of the spout of the pot at once, the silence was broken at once, this life whining like a horn of charge, Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin were eager to try like a red-eyed cockfight, and finally Zhang Zuolin took the lead in standing up and said: "Wu Xiucai, it is our business to be a soldier and fight, and it is a little unauthentic to let those Mongolian beards burn and loot!" ”

Wu Peifu glanced at him, glared at him like a bulldog, and said: "Lao Zhang, they are all people who understand, let's open the skylight and say something bright, there is no need to beat around the bush, what are those moths doing?" ”

Zhang Zuolin's face was slightly red when he said this, but who is he? The peerless heroes who have dominated the Northeast for more than ten years, I have never seen any big scenes, even the president doesn't know how many he has seen, how can he be embarrassed because of Wu Peifu's words or two?

"Wu Xiucai, since you are rarely happy for a while, then the old brother will not drop the bookbag, brother, I will say it directly, your people will withdraw from Outer Mongolia, and our two families will restore their previous territory, so they will stop the army and make peace, put the swords and guns into the warehouse, and let the horses go to Nanshan!"

Wu Peifu sneered a few times after hearing this: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Lao Zhang, your territory is as if you and Chang are ruling the Northern and Southern Dynasties! Brother, I don't like to hear it! ”

Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "Brother Wu, you are a showman, my old Zhang is a rough person, I am not as good as you in this ability to chew words and drop the bookbag, let's not make trouble with these words, who am I, can you not know?" Loyal and patriotic will recognize this principle all his life. How dare you divide the north and the south from the ruling powers? It's just that the land of Outer Mongolia is remote and barren, there are separatist ministers with bad intentions, there are Soviet Union watching, and the central garrison of heavy troops costs a huge amount, like a cannon beating flies The gains outweigh the losses, if I still let the Northeast authorities manage Outer Mongolia, since ancient times, Manchu and Mongolia are one, the people and brothers do not need to separate the two places, the border defense is self-contained, and the country can also concentrate on doing big things, killing multiple birds with one stone, why not? ”

Wu Peifu smiled slightly, feeling even more weird in the smoke, but he didn't rush to answer. Zhang Zuolin said it so much, and it was obvious that he had already made a good draft.

This big old man is not easy to deal with.

He didn't answer, Zhang Zuolin was silent, and the white water vapor danced gracefully like the white-clothed elves in the story. Wang Jingwei concentrated, standing upright and not daring to act rashly, and his heroic eyes did not dare to flicker in the white mist.

"Alright." Wu Peifu stood up and said lightly: "Lao Zhang, we have also met, let's say goodbye if we don't have one place to say!" ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "Wu Xiucai, you go, Lao Tzu will never stop you, after you go back, our two armies will be officially launched!" ”

Wu Peifu said with a smile: "In this way, whoever kills the deer depends on his ability!" ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "The 300,000 troops in the Northeast are ready to enter the customs!" What do you Wu Xiucai use to stop Lao Tzu? ”

Wu Peifu said: "The 300,000 Fengjun has the capital of Zhuolu Central Plains, but these 300,000 elites listen to you?" I'm afraid that when the time comes, these 300,000 Fengjun guns will be aimed at you, Lao Zhang! ”

"Bastard! Lao Tzu's army, Lao Tzu has the final say! Even if Chang is in power, there is no trick! ”

"Chang Zheng can't control you, but the people can't tolerate you!"

"The winner is king, and the loser is the loser! As long as Lao Tzu wins, who dares to say something ugly! ”

"It's the Republic of China now! Lao Zhang! ”

Once again, there was silence.

"Let's turn back!"

"It's the shore when I turn back, but I can't go ashore!"

"What you have done over the years, the Chinese people have eyes, and while you haven't made a big mistake, there is nothing that you can't turn back!"

"Along the way, Lao Tzu is the wind and the rain, cut people, and was also cut by people, before he came to today, who knows that it is dark in front of the stop, but looking back at the back, it is also, lost Baden, only the current foothold is a hard bump, do you say I can go back?"

"Don't you want to think about what people will say about you after thousands of years?"

"Who the fuck doesn't want to leave a good name for future generations? It's a pity that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes! When it comes to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't need anything for eternity, as long as the two or three hundred thousand brothers who follow Lao Tzu at this moment can be fed, clothed, and live a good life. ”

"In this case, Lao Zhang, you might as well hand over the army to Chang Zhizhi, and as a person who is Chang Zheng, you will never treat those brothers badly!"

"Can't do it!" Zhang Zuolin flatly refused: "A tiger can't be without claws, and an eagle can't be without wings." My Lao Zhang's temperament is high-flying, how can he be old and become a cat and dog, looking at other people's eyes and acting? Besides, this Northeast was laid down by Lao Tzu and his brothers desperately, how could it be given to others for nothing? If you want to stop fighting, you will stop fighting, if you want to fight, you will fight, that is, you will lose Lao Tzu's army, and you will lose Lao Tzu's chassis, it is nothing, left and right is willing to gamble and lose! What I mean has been made very clear, Wu Xiucai is battle is with you! ”

Wu Peifu said: "There is no diplomacy for people and ministers, and there are clouds in spring and autumn." I am now working under the command of the permanent government, and I can't talk about such wars and major events! Lao Zhang, if you want to make peace, you might as well give me a thorough understanding, so that I can truthfully play to Chang Zheng, everything depends on Chang Zheng's intentions, and it is not my deception to you! ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "I think that at the beginning, when Cao Sanye was alive, you Wu Peifu had a lot of weight in his words, and on top of the five-party talks, he overwhelmed Chang in power, and even the great president Xu Shichang was also sideways. Looking at you now, don't look at Chang in power and let you control the tens of thousands of troops in the three special regions, to say something unpleasant, Chang in power was not at ease with you that day, and the two-finger-wide strip is enough for you to be ruined. Why are you suffering? ”

"What's the use of talking about that? Smart people live in the moment. ”

"It's true to live in the present, but now the biggest moment is that almost all the troops in the three special zones are directly related to the old department, and their recognition and loyalty to you Wu Dashuai is far more than Chang Zhizhi, if the elder brother feels that he is wronged, he will simply do it alone, and with my Lao Zhang to help you, even Chang Zheng will not dare to say anything."

After hearing this, Wu Peifu suddenly laughed, and after laughing, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "Lao Zhang, what you said is not right, it was you who drove me into the wilderness at the beginning, and now it is you who are the one who provoked me to raise troops, you have done this good guy and bad guy, but it's a bit unusual!" ”

"Brother Wu, what you said is not right, the Zhifeng Alliance is unbreakable! At that time, Sun Liechen went south to rescue Baoding, but he planned to fight with Chang Zhengzhi, who knew that those Dongying people were uneasy and kind, and took the opportunity to stir up trouble, wanting to fight with us, if it weren't for Duan Zhengzhi's endurance of humiliation, Cao Sanye and your brother Wu knew that righteousness and our China would be ruined! This injustice has a head, and the debtor has a master, you can't count it on the head of the old brother! ”

"Lao Zhang, your people are with Dongying people, if you want to say that there is no you here, the ghosts don't believe it!"

"Isn't my brother going to live in the moment? How can you be so concerned about the past? It's not like yours if you can't let go of it! Since the elder brother insists that my brother did it, then the elder brother will give you a compensation, as long as you raise an army and stand on your own, my brother will provide you with five million oceans, 200,000 rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 500 mortars, and 30 heavy artillery, which is enough for you to stand firm and kill the Quartet. What do you think? ”

"Lao Zhang, you are so generous!"

"I stick a knife in my brother's ribs, and my brother sticks a knife in my ribs! This is my principle of doing things in Lao Zhang! Lao Wu, you and my Lao Zhang have known each other for many years, and they know the roots, you should know who my Lao Zhang is, and you will never be sorry for the brothers! ”

"It's better to lose yourself than to your brother, that's your strength. I admire that! But you should also understand who I am! ”

"The direct line was created by Cao Sanye, if it is broken by those people in the southeast, it will be a pity! I'm afraid that Cao Sanye can't be blind under Jiuquan. I know the third master very well, so naturally I don't want him to cry under Jiuyuan! As long as you build a direct line for the third master, how many things do you need, you can say, brother will try his best to satisfy you, Brother Wu, you have to understand, the number of things is easy to say, but there is only one chance! ”

Zhang Zuolin was impassioned, Wu Peifu couldn't help but be moved when he saw it, but he was not a wasted person, Zhang Zuolin's little bit of flowery intestines, he could see it at a glance, but people can be ruthless, they should be sad and sad, they should shed tears, if he wants to use this to pry himself, then he is wrong.

After Zhang Zuolin finished saying this, he slowly sat back again, and the smoke of the white water vapor gradually turned yellow and black, probably because the water inside began to dry after it was boiled dry. Wang Jingwei hurriedly took advantage of this time to gently go over and talk about the kettle aside, and refill the fresh water again, this water is not ordinary water, but the ice and snow that fall on the plum blossoms in winter melt, it is said that this water is softer than other water, drinking it is good for the body, and it is also a necessary thing for Zhang Zuolin to drink tea, although Wang Jingwei has drunk it for a long time, but in any case, this water can not drink anything different.

The cold water was poured into the pot and rattled, and when it came to the stove, this sound was suddenly put on many people, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to, Wu Peifu slowly sat opposite Zhang Zuolin in this sound, and said: "I understand your kindness, Lao Zhang, just like you said, it was the Dongying people who killed the third master and it has nothing to do with you!" And now there is no second candidate to compete with the Dongying people except Chang for the ruling party, so Wu Peifu has to help Chang for the ruling even if it is for the third master. ”

That's your answer? No matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced! It's just a pity for Cao Sanye under Jiuquan. Zhang Zuolin sighed, very sorry, but he never thought that Wu Peifu would be persuaded by him in a few words, if that was the case, he would not be Zhang Zuolin, and the other party would not be Wu Peifu.

"I have a word, Lao Zhang, listen up! To say that there will be a war between China and Dongying is a rumor-mongering! I have never offended me, I don't offend, if people offend me, I am better than offends! Most of the Dongying people are bent on going to war, and the 40,000,000 Chinese comrades are by no means easy to mess with! ”

"The Chinese are not afraid of the Dongying people, but the Chinese government is afraid of the Dongying government!" If this fights, I am afraid that the world that is always in power will be torn apart and unable to maintain it. ”

"Even if you can't maintain the ability to govern, you can still dominate one side, and make a comeback, but Lao Zhang, if you can't maintain Manchuria here, the three thousand miles of Manchuria will not belong to my China, where to go, you have to think twice."

"What you said and my Lao Zhang understand that my Lao Zhang only cooperates with the Dongying people and will never sell an inch of the country's land, which no one knows in the Northeast? If Chang Zheng really fights with the Dongying people, our Northeast Army will never sit idly by! ”

"Is that true?"

"If the husband says it, the horse is hard to chase!"

"Okay, I will believe you, your army retreats from Fuxin, and I will never pursue! But in the land of Outer Mongolia, don't think about it! ”

"That's fine! The people of Dongying took the opportunity to make trouble, if I don't return to Fengtian quickly. I'm afraid that things in the Northeast will not be easy to do, so I will go in a hurry, and some heavy artillery will not have time to take away, so I will send it to Wu Xiucai! ”

"Okay, I will accept your affection, but the people of Dongying are eyeing Manchuria, Lao Zhang, you must not be careless!"

"Dongying is powerful, but my old Zhang knows how to deal with him, the train cannon railway is not as good as him, but if he picks up the railway, he can't move an inch, hiding in the mountains, he rolls his eyes! No matter how you stumble, he can't do anything about you. ”

"You have a spectrum in your heart, I won't say anything more, then take care all the way, there will be a period later!"

Wu Peifu got up and left, Wang Jingwei saw him off, looking at Wu Peifu's figure, Zhang Zuolin fell into deep thought.
