was called "Cao Laosan" by Feng Guozhang, and the name was Cao Kun, the word "Zhongsan", and he was the first general under Feng Guozhang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAlthough Cao Kun is also surnamed Cao, he has nothing to do with Cao Degui. Previously, Cao Kun was a cloth vendor in the capital. Being the most greedy for money and lustful is the most. There have been several times when this guy was selling cloth, when he saw a beautiful woman, he followed behind them, and even threw his own stall aside.

Although he is greedy for money and lustful, and often does some ridiculous things, this Cao Kun has a good thing, that is, he is very righteous, which is very appetizing to Feng Guozhang. Moreover, Cao Kun is tall and not weak in martial arts, and after joining the army, he soon became Feng Guozhang's confidant.

Now, since he was going to make a truce with the other party, Feng Guozhang first thought of sending Cao Kun. Cao Kun also lived up to Feng Guozhang's expectations, slapped his chest with a shocking sound, and said: "General rest assured, Cao Kun will definitely live up to his trust." ”

After speaking, Cao Kun, who was known as Cao Laosan, took the guards and went to the side of the Black Dragon Society with a white flag. Cao Degui was about to launch a charge with the support of field artillery and mortars that came from the movement, when he heard that someone from the Beiyang Army came with a white flag, so he stopped his preparations and waved his hand: "Bring him over!" ”

After being searched, Cao Kun was brought to Cao Degui.

"Tell me, how are you going to surrender?" Cao Degui said honestly and unceremoniously, "Well, even if you are still a little self-aware. ”

Cao Kun was stunned for a moment, then his anger swelled up, and he sneered: "Now it's just a fight, so you think you have won?" ”

"Hmph," Cao Degui narrowed his eyes, his murderous aura surging, "Then don't say anything, go back and prepare to fight again." ”

After speaking, he was ready to let the guards drive Cao Kun out. Cao Kun shouted: "If you want to fight, you can fight, who is afraid of you!" But we sent the prisoners over, and the general didn't want to know why? ”

Cao Degui asked the guards to stop and asked, "Why?" Well, who are the generals you are leading the troops? ”

Cao Kun got a chance to breathe, and said proudly: "Our general is Feng Guozhang and Chief Feng!" ”

"It turned out to be him," Cao Degui laughed, "No wonder those Beiyang troops are so capable of fighting." Then tell me, why did Feng Guozhang return the prisoners? It's just the others, I don't believe that his mad dog would admit defeat and surrender so easily. ”

The three heroes of Beiyang are also known as "dragons, tigers, and dogs". Among them, Wang Shizhen is the dragon of Beiyang, Duan Qirui is the tiger of Beiyang, and Feng Guozhang is the dog of Beiyang. It was because of this that Cao Degui called him Mad Dog.

"Sir," Cao Kun's face was very honest, making people subconsciously feel that this person was very reliable, and now he said seriously: "Regardless of right or wrong, in the previous battle, everyone suffered heavy casualties. Besides, you and I are negotiating now, so if there is anything dirty, it is not too late to wait for the people above to negotiate. ”

"Hmph," Cao Degui looked at Cao Kun's face and suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Eh," Cao Kun was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up and saluted: "Cao Kun, the deputy commander of the second town of the Beiyang Army, has seen Your Excellency!" ”

"Your surname is Cao, too?" Cao Degui's tone was a little surprised, and his attitude softened, "In this way, the two of us may have been a family five hundred years ago. ”

"The Commander is ......."

"I'm Cao Degui!" Cao Degui said domineeringly: "You just go and tell Feng Guozhang that it was your Beiyang Army that provoked the war, and I will not let your prisoners go." But for the sake of you being the first to release our prisoners of war, I can promise you not to pursue them. This is already the limit, if you promise, you will agree, if you don't promise, then go to war! ”

Cao Kun sighed and said, "Then thank you Chief Cao, I will convey your meaning to Chief Feng." ”

As soon as Feng Guozhang heard Cao Kun's relay, his brows were raised, which was a symbol of his anger.

"Seven people are too much!"

If this kind of condition is agreed, it will be no different from the alliance under the city. He Feng Guozhang is a Beiyang boss, and in the entire Beiyang system, only below Yuan Shikai is Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen, who are also nominally at the same level as him. Hearing such harsh conditions, he couldn't help but be angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

It's just that since he had made a compromise before, it was difficult for him to harden up now. Many thoughts turned viciously in his heart, but selfishness finally prevailed.

In the end, he blushed and said coldly: "Just do what Cao Degui said!" ”

Cao Kun spied Feng Guozhang's thoughts on the side, and said in a low voice: "Sir, in this battle, we caught them off guard, and we also grabbed a lot of things in Anping Town, no matter how you count it, we won." Now that Cao Degui came with the army that came forward, he only dared to ask us to withdraw from Anping Town and return to the original state. This is all due to the prestige of the chief. ”

"Humph!" Of course, Feng Guozhang knew that Cao Kun was talking nonsense, they had the advantage of the raid, and in the end it was a draw, if they were to change places, there might not be such an exchange ratio. However, Cao Kun is right about one thing, since the strategic and tactical intentions of the double anti-operation have not been achieved, it cannot be regarded as their loss.

Besides, the original purpose of their provocation was to see how much combat power the Black Dragon Society still retained, and now it can be regarded as an assessment. In this way, they still won a lot.

With this in mind, the Beiyang Army left Anping Town with the looted supplies. Behind them, the infantry cavalry led by Cao Degui hung far behind.

"Uncle," Cao Bao looked at the distant figure of the Beiyang Army, and couldn't help but say to Cao Degui: "Are we just going to forget it?" ”

"Of course......... No! Cao Degui showed a murderous expression on his face, raised the telegram in his hand, and sneered: "Come if you want, leave if you want, how can there be such a good thing!" Besides, Handan has already given a reply! ”

"What is it, did you order us to send troops?"

"His Majesty the Black Dragon King has appointed me as an envoy to Shandong."

"Shandong recruits? But we're still ....... in Hebei."

"Stupid!" Cao Degui glared at Cao Bao, "Let's just say that you should read more." Your Majesty means that we can fight all the way to the junction of Shandong and Hebei. ”

"Well, how many troops did that give us?"

"The entire southern army can be controlled by me, including four regiments of type B and two cavalry regiments, plus all the garrisons here. Damn, this time he wants to beat the scrap wood in Beiyang so that his mother doesn't recognize him. (To be continued.) )
