While Timur and the others were busy getting military rations, the two in Baoding were also planning a big picture.

The differences and scolding of Liang Shiyi as premier, the direct surrender of the instructors of the Baoding Military Academy, and the friction behind the imperialist countries of the East and the West have made the pro-Japanese Zhang Huzi and the pro-British and American Cao Wu gradually incompatible.

Wu Peifu transferred his troops from the Zhiwan War to the north, and opened the trend of encircling Beijing and Tianjin, intending to seize Shanhaiguan and drive Zhang Huzi out of the pass; Also during the Zhiwan War, Zhang Huzi was transferred to the two brigades in the Guannai to support Wu Peifu, and they are still in the Guannai, which will transfer two divisions from the Great Wall to the suburbs of Beijing, and then from Shanhaiguan to Beijing and Tianjin.

The two armies confronted each other, and the flames of war were on the verge of breaking out.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Although the battle has not yet started, Wu Xiucai already has a general plan in his heart, but the premise is that he has to settle one person first.

At this time, Wu Peifu pointed to a map and said calmly, "Zhang Huzi is fierce, but he doesn't know the soldiers, and he doesn't look at whether Baoding is close to Beijing and Tianjin or Fengtian is close to Beijing and Tianjin?" ”

Seeing his right-hand man and his in-laws turn their faces, Cao Kun could only shake his head, "Hehe," a wry smile, "Zhang Huzi is my son and daughter's family, I didn't expect that we would meet each other; Back then, Zhang Huzi promised me in person that he would never send troops to me. ”

Seeing that his boss was hesitant, as if he still hoped for peace talks, Wu Peifu knew that his old superior's biggest problem was to miss the old feelings, so he came to Baoding in person to prevent his old boss from getting sick again. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, the old superior made a mistake again, and immediately said: 'Dashuai This fight is cruel! The people below are a little unstable now, you are our backbone, you have to have a plan! ‘

The difference between smart people and others is that they wake up with just one click. In a word, everyone below is unstable, so let Cao Kun know what Wu Xiucai is referring to. It's just that he can't make up his mind in his own heart!

Wu Peifu saw that the situation was like this now, this old superior was still hesitating, and had to come up with a killer move, since you are kind, then I will also use kindness to treat you, "Dashuai, if Zhang Huzi enters the customs, then will we take Tianjin or Jinan, Henan or Hubei, and assign it to him!" ”

What is most important for a warlord? Guns, people, ground.

This territory is the lifeblood, with land comes money, and with money, there are guns! Such a simple truth does not need to be taught by Wu Peifu, and Cao Kun also knows it.

Sure enough, hearing Wu Peifu say this, Boss Cao hesitated again, "Tianjin is my ancestral hometown, Henan and Hubei are your Wu Ziyu's territory, take your ancestral home and brother's territory to give him a beard, and in the future, how will the world look at me!" Cao Kun looked at Wu Peifu and beckoned to him in a half-loud voice, "Don't persuade anything, I know what to do!" ”

Walking to the map, Cao Kun asked, "Ziyu, how is the situation ahead now?" ”

Wu Xiucai saw that his old superior had finally made up his mind, so he hurriedly followed, and said with a smile, "The handsome and wise, this will Zhang Huzi himself as the commander-in-chief of the Feng army, Wu Junsheng is the vanguard commander, and Sun Liechen is the backup commander. ”

Looking at the few places pointed out by Wu Xiucai, Cao Kun, who is familiar with Zhang Huzi's personality, smiled bitterly again, "This battle is not easy to fight!" ”

"Huh! Sometimes, battles don't have to be fought, for example, this army! Wu Xiucai pointed to a position and said.

Cao Kun didn't even look at where Wu Xiucai was pointing, he just stared at the number one general under his command, seeing that he was so confident, and said: "Ziyu, I'm tired, you can do this!" I believe in your strength. Zhang Hu is so ignorant of lifting, even my in-laws have to give him some color this time. Let him know how to write the word rules! But! Cao Kun's words changed, "If Ziyu encounters him on the battlefield, it's best to capture him alive, but don't kill him!" ”

"Hahaha, thank you Dashuai Jiyan!" Wu Xiucai bowed, feeling sincerely grateful for the trust that this old superior had placed in him.

The north was ready to fight, but Zhao Yun was ready to continue to sleep under the quilt, but this kind of beautiful thing in life was interrupted by a fierce knock on the door, "Oh no, county magistrate, there is a fight outside." ”

Deputy County Magistrate Xu has a big belly, and he is out of breath, Zhao Yun also knows this very well, if there is nothing big, this person can't remember his real county magistrate, "What's the matter?" ”

"Fight, fight." Deputy County Magistrate Xu pointed in the opposite direction of the county seat, panting. waited for Deputy County Magistrate Xu to calm down before telling the story.

A group of bandits who had recently been recruited by the Qi Governor Army were organized into a regiment and settled in Yixing. The regiment numbered about 2,000 men, but was extremely poorly armed. And because they were newly recruited, the Qi Overseers had not yet replenished their weapons, so they put them in Yixing, which also had the meaning of blocking Zhao Yun.

Since they had already changed their uniforms, they thought they were officers and soldiers, and when they saw that the local area was relatively wealthy, they began to have crooked ideas again.

Theft and robbery, this kind of pediatric incident for them is a frequent occurrence. And Xiucai met soldiers, it was unreasonable, Deputy County Magistrate Xu was born as a civilian official, and he had no soldiers and no power in his hands, so he couldn't do anything about these soldiers. If it was some of the former commanders who led the team, Deputy County Magistrate Xu could also talk about it by virtue of his popularity. After all, there is an arms trade here, and you will definitely have to socialize in the future. But when you encounter this group of bandits, Deputy County Magistrate Xu has no recruitment, and people don't want you at all.

On this day, the bandit group saw that the weapons of the town law enforcement team on the farm were even better than theirs, and they moved the idea of grabbing the gun again.

Since the urban law enforcement team is trained by Shao Lao Er, it adopts the training method of the Japanese army, relatively speaking, except for the fact that he has never seen blood, the others are not much worse than the ordinary army. At the same time, Shao Lao Er is also a veteran, in order to guard against someone selling weapons privately, there is a premise that those who lose their guns will be killed, so everyone is more important to their weapons.

But when the tiger was still napping, when a soldier who went to the hut had just squatted in his position, he found someone grabbing a gun and immediately shouted for help.

This is the territory of the law enforcement team, and the few people who grabbed the guns were immediately surrounded, but the people of this regiment occupied themselves as officers and soldiers, and did not take these people from the law enforcement team in their eyes.

Now the matter is getting bigger, and Guo Shenqian, the head of the bandit group, came to make trouble again, but who is Deputy County Magistrate Xu? I have already used the procrastination trick, and I am very busy with something, and I refuse to see customers.

Guo Shenqian, stingy, the best at making a thousand people, calling himself "Shenqian", has never been the only one who takes advantage of others, and has never been taken advantage of.

When the head of the regiment Guo was in high spirits, he was immediately annoyed when he encountered the attitude of Deputy County Magistrate Xu, and he went straight into a rage, and summoned his subordinates to send troops into the city to rob. But when they finished procrastinating and marched towards the county seat, they were stopped outside the city by the county garrison that had been prepared for a long time, so they turned around to find the original sin, the matter of the farm.

The farm is considered to be the building of the camp, and Zhao Yun has long defended the inner three floors, the outer three floors, and the machine guns and cannons are all available. Although it cannot be said that there were heavy casualties, it was a loss of face. Since he can occupy the mountain as the king, the bandit leader's subordinates also have some ability. No, they went to carry out a sneak attack again, and the town law enforcement team of the farm was put down several times by the cold guns of the bandits, and both sides were on fire at this time, and dozens of people died on both sides in one day.

The bandit group was stunned on the farm, and remembered that Lao Tzu was also an organized person now, so he sent someone to find Zhu Xi, the guard of Suchang Town, Jiangsu, to sue a wicked person first.

As soon as Zhu Xi heard the report, he knew that it was these guys who had not been trained to make trouble, since Zhao Yun took office, he had spread money and paved more roads, and all the heads and brains had been touched. But there are really a lot of people who are interested in Zhao Yun's arms business, and many people want to replace them, because they can't figure out whether there is someone behind these bandits' troubles, so Zhu Xi intends not to offend both, so he plays Tai Chi and reports the matter to the Qi Overseers in Nanjing.

As soon as Qi Overseer saw it, he knew what was going on. Regardless of whether Zhao Yun was justified or not, what Qi Overseer saw was different from others. Ooh! Well, that bandit group is also famous, and it was originally transferred to Yixing to defend the Zhejiang army north. Why did you meet you, Zhao Yun's farm guards were all deflated?

Sentence, Zhao Yun will compensate the dead and wounded, not too much, just supplement the regiment of 2,000 people, and the Qi Overseer Army is obviously preparing to kill two birds with one stone.

Set an example for those who want to take refuge in themselves, see it, after arriving at Lao Tzu, they will be Lao Tzu's people, and they can walk horizontally.

At the same time, knock on it, Zhao Yun, who is developing rapidly, you can develop the industry, but if you want to develop the force, you can only jump in the circle I drew for you.

Now, Zhao Yun is also annoyed, am I made mud? If you want to toss me casually, then I'll toss you too!

As soon as the news reached Yixing, Zhao Yun asked the deputy county magistrate and the garrison, as well as the militia group and the police chief, to come to his house as guests.

Except for Deputy County Magistrate Xu, Baba, who came, the other three were all shirked.

"Missing?" Then don't blame Zhao Yun for asking for it, I usually eat me and drink mine, but when it matters, I still want to have diarrhea, so I'm sorry. This team drove directly to the city gate, and the head of the guard on duty on the city tower was the guard's henchman, and he didn't want to open the door. But his subordinates were all already Zhao Yun's "own people", and the door opened as soon as he knocked on it.

So only half an hour later, the three local high-ranking military leaders were still invited to the county office, but they originally went in with their heads drooped, and they were all out of vigour.

Mobilize your men and prepare for what's next.
