Chapter 252: Cao Kun's Ambition

Becoming a king and defeating a king, Yang Shuai chanted the word again. Li Zongren next to him walked up with a smile, handed Yang Shuai a document for Yang Shuai to sign, and said: "Commander, you have said this word eight hundred times, and now Wu Peifu is doomed to failure, what are you worried about." ”

Ten days ago, the Fourth Army suddenly turned around and opened fire on Wu Peifu's back, and at the same time, the Fifth Army in Changsha somehow bravely went out of the city to attack Wu Peifu one after the other with the Fourth Army. A full 40,000 people, surrounding 50,000 people, stormed, and fought fiercely for ten days and ten nights until now. Everyone was surprised to find that the Fifth Army had actually been removed from the top, and it was Yang Shuai himself who was now in control of the Fifth Army.

And Wu Peifu suffered heavy casualties, but Wuhan refused to rescue, and no one knows why.

Yang Shuai shook his head, not as optimistic as Li Zongren: "Zhuge killed so many people in one breath in order to control the Fifth Army, and the people of Hunan will hate us to death in the future, this is the first difficulty." Second, Beiyang's move is too confusing, if Wu Peifu's main force is gone, Wuhan will be in danger, and they actually didn't save Wu Peifu at this time, which is confusing. And the last one, and the one I'm most worried about, Mr. Sun's side has not moved, and there has been no news for the past three days, hey, I'm just afraid of being an enemy of Mr. Sun. ”

Yang Shuai smiled, looking so helpless. He was not afraid that he would not be able to win if a conflict broke out with Sun Wen, what Yang Shuai was afraid of was that after parting ways with Sun Wen, the Republic of China that he had created with great difficulty would collapse, and the living forces would be dispersed again.

Li Zongren lowered his head and kicked his feet, he didn't know how to persuade Yang Shuai in his heart, but Li Zongren also understood that sometimes, some things, you have to do, there is no distinction between right and wrong, the concept is different, that's all.

"Commander, based on current intelligence, the General Staff has concluded that we have a high probability of a new war. The opinion of our General Staff was to order the three rear provinces to strengthen their military alert so as not to make mistakes. Of course, the consequence of this is likely to be to deepen the misunderstanding that we are sharpening our knives. Commander, this requires you to make a final decision, and now, the people of the Nanning General Staff are assessing how much losses we will suffer if we break with Guangzhou, as well as the loss of personnel, and I believe that there will be a conclusion soon. ”

Yang Shuai turned around: "Very good, I spent two years to build the operational staff, and the chief of staff Lin Hu has made great contributions in the past two years, and now you have independent ability, very good." Yang Shuai patted the table and tapped his fingers on it, as if he had made the biggest decision.

Raised his head: "How is Tan Yanmin, is he willing to join us?" ”

Li Zongren sneered: "Commander, you look up to him too much, he is just an old bureaucrat, Bai Zhuge took the initiative to see Zhuge on the third day of house arrest." ”

Yang Shuai's eyes lit up: "Okay, good, Tang Shengzhi and Cheng Qian are both rare talents, and there must be someone in charge of Hunan's affairs, Zhao Hengxi, take him to the top bag, we must give an explanation to the Fifth Army." ”

Li Zongren smiled, as if he was not surprised: "Okay, this is easy to do, with Tan Yanmin's cooperation, I believe that as long as the army commander gives the order, Bai Zhuge will definitely do it."

Yang Shuai: "Well, good." Speed up on your side, completely solve Wu Peifu in the past two days, and then rest and recuperate the whole army and not move for the time being. Hey, I need Mr. Sun's statement, if he still believes me, then the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army will immediately attack Wuhan with all their troops until they reach Heilongjiang. If he doesn't trust me and wants to split up with me, then we can only look back at him carefully. ”

Li Zongren nodded, and then: "Commander, you don't have to be so mindful, one day, the people will understand what to do, I always believe that the current motherland, only under your leadership, can go better, Mr. Sun, is no longer adaptable, this era is no longer just an era in which a simple revolution can achieve results." Li Zongren smiled, then walked out, turned around and said softly: "And military commander, there is one thing that I am also very convinced of, that is, I also think that our future great enemy must be Japan, the United States, and Russia." ”

"This kid." Yang Shuai looked at Li Zongren who walked out and smiled.

Subsequently, the Fourth and Fifth Armies began their final offensive, and Wu Peifu was already a little out of ammunition and food. At this moment, Yang Shuai ushered in a guest, an unexpected guest.

Yang Shuai was surprised to look at the man wearing glasses in a robe, who was about forty years old, square and square. Luo Jin spoke with a pure Beijing accent: "Commander Yang, you are really young." ”

Yang Shuai smiled, surprised that he regained his composure after only a moment, sat down and waved his hand, and the hero walked out.

"Mr. Luo Jin, I can't imagine it, now that the two families are at war, isn't it good for you to come to me? Or, did Mr. Luo Jin abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Welcome. ”

Luo Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly: "Hehe, Commander Yang can really joke, hehe, it is said that Commander Yang does not like red tape, it seems to be true, since this is the case, then I will say it directly." Didn't Commander Yang think it was suspicious that Wuhan would delay in rescuing Wu Peifu? ”

Yang Shuai was shocked, but said on his face: "Suspicious, to be honest, it's a little doubtful, but this is a great thing for me, no matter what your reason, I only know that this is the best time for me to eliminate Wu Peifu, and I am not afraid to tell Mr. Luo Jin that even if Wuhan sends troops again, even if it is useless to come with 100,000, two days later, Wu Peifu's main force will definitely disappear." But, I'm afraid that Wuhan doesn't have an army of 100,000. ”

Luo Jin was stunned, this Yang Shuai didn't play cards according to common sense.

"Commander Yang, in fact, I came this time because of General Cao Kun's trust."

Yang Shuai's eyes were stunned, and he hurriedly turned around: "Hero, let the chief of staff come in." ”

Luo Jin: "This, Commander Yang, the conversation between us is better to try not to let others know." ”

Yang Shuai shook his head: "Mr. Luo Jin, don't worry, I let people listen, it means that I am willing to listen, I am interested, and I have already begun to deal with it, Mr. Luo Jin, do you think this is not good?" ”

"But Commander Yang, it's hard to spread the word."

"It's not a biography, I trust everyone around me, and those who don't trust it don't have a chance to come in."

Li Zongren came, and then both of them were shocked, Yang Shuai opened his mouth even more and couldn't say it, it turned out that this was the case, it turned out that Beiyang did not rescue Wu Peifu because of a new round of infighting, I damn it, Cao Kun This guy is too ruthless, for his own rights, he even did not hesitate to kill tens of thousands of elites. Stupid, crazy.

Li Zongren: "So, Cao Kun wants to take the position? It's not that simple, you keep saying that Beiyang is one family and should not be divided into direct Anhui, but you are framing tens of thousands of elites. Also, there are many people in Beiyang who are now a cut above Cao Kun, even if Cao Kun is the only one who has a heavy army in the end, he is at most an important person, and he still wants to be president? Joke. ”

Seeing that the mission failed, Luo Jinyi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it seems that if you don't pay low, Commander Yang won't believe it." Commander Yang, I believe you also know that there are two lines in Beiyang, and there are many backers behind them, the Japanese support the Anhui line, and the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries support our direct line. However, just after Duan Qirui's death, the Japanese had made a clear promise to General Cao Kun that they would completely support General Cao Kun to ascend to the throne. Commander Yang, think about it, the Anhui system has been abandoned, what future do they have at all, and Britain and the United States and other countries do not like Xu Shichang and others very much, saying that as long as General Cao Kun is president, they will fully support it. ”

Luo Jin was like saying a great reliance, but he didn't see Yang Shuai's eyes getting narrower and colder.

"Get out, Chief of Staff, see off."

Very suddenly, Yang Shuai stood up, didn't look at Luo Jin again, and then turned his back to the two of them, looking at the map.

Luo Jin didn't know what was going on at all, so he was blasted out. Li Zongren walked back, his face full of worry and anger: "Relying on foreigners, what kind of ability is it." ”

Yang Shuai smiled at this time: "Don't be excited, I'll go see Wu Peifu." ”
