188 Meat Sandwich Bun
Of course, the Qi Governor's Army, which was originally carried away by the occupation of Shanghai, also came to its senses after being counted down by the great powers, and began to plan for southern Anhui and southern Jiangsu occupied by Zhao Yun.
In fact, at this time, the north of the Yangtze River in Anhui was basically occupied by the Qi overseers, but at this time, he, the overseer of Jiangsu, was very embarrassed and embarrassed in front of the other overseers. After all, his provincial capital city is still in Zhao Yun's hands. When he saw that Sun Chuanfang easily controlled the situation in southern Anhui, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
However, the Qi Overseers still have more important things to do now, and that is to clean up Zhao Yun.
Before, Zhao Yun was a sandwich pie, but now that Zhao Yun is a direct team up and down, then it is time for the Qi Overseer to have a good talk with this arms dealer. If you don't talk about it now, then the new Zhejiang overseer Sun Chuanfang is ready to enter southern Jiangsu.
In fact, the officials appointed by Zhao Yun are all direct members, and theoretically they should be regarded as direct people, but there is one point, that is, Zhao Yun seized the city of Nanjing, which is intolerable to both Qi and Sun Dujun.
Nanjing is no ordinary city, it represents too many meanings. So the Qi Overseer Army moved the idea of striking first. However, what the Qi Overseers need most now is not artillery, but time. Originally, Shanghai and Suzhou were separated by a river, but the great powers in Shanghai just refused to ignite the flames of war around Shanghai, so as not to burn Shanghai. As a result, the Qi overseers could only pull their troops back to Yangzhou from Shanghai. Why not start somewhere else?
Zhao Yun's salvo in Taicang gave the world an intuitive impression of Zhao Yun's military strength, such a dense rain of bullets, let his team try, and ask which warlord is willing.
After avoiding Suzhou, it is Jiangyin and Zhenjiang. Needless to say, Jiangyin Fortress has been very famous since ancient times, so should the team go to Jiangbei to eat the fortress's artillery? As for Zhenjiang, the defense line there is even more in the heart of the Qi Inspectors, there is no time, don't want to storm it, and now that there is Sun Chuanfang waiting by the side, can the Qi Inspectors still be able to slowly pull out the nails with peace of mind? can only pick up the heavy head and attack Nanjing directly.
And Sun Chuanfang also encountered the same situation, he also wanted to enter southern Jiangsu, so the Qi overseers in Shanghai were already deflated, so there was no need to think about it. The other passage is Yixing County on the edge of Taihu Lake, but it is Zhao Yun's base camp, and it is surrounded by mountains, which is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But in the west of southern Jiangsu, the remnants of the Anhui Hui army and the Zhejiang army have set up a triangular array.
After careful consideration, Sun Chuanfang and Sun Overseers decided to wait and see what happened, anyway, Sunan couldn't run away there, so it was a good choice to let Qi Overseers try.
As for before the Qi Overseer went to try, Wu Peifu decided to go first, after all, if he could take Nanjing without losing a single soldier, then it would be the best result for Wu Peifu himself. And escaping from the north also has the credit of Zhao Yun.
Finally in August, Wu Peifu finally had a timetable for going south on his itinerary.
Compared with the past, today's Nanjing is more lively.
Although the north is still rumbling in June, and Shandong in July is also in turmoil, the people in Nanjing are filled with a festive atmosphere, as if the war outside has nothing to do with this place, especially those daughters and celebrities in Nanjing, these girls in their prime, wearing the most fashionable clothes in Europe, holding paper fans, walking together on the streets, forming a beautiful scenery.
The whistle of the car ...... getting closer and closer, and the girls holding paper umbrellas hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, and their eyes slowly drove along the car, with a little surprise in their eyes. Cars are not a rare thing in Jiangnan, but the cars that want pedestrians to avoid, except for high-ranking officials, are foreign envoys.
Seeing a yellow-skinned man sitting in the car, today's situation obviously belongs to the former.
The car slowly stopped, and Wu Peifu stepped out of the car, looking at the guards patrolling and guarding the streets.
"It's Wu Dashuai...... Is he really coming? In the crowd of onlookers, someone whispered in surprise.
As soon as the words fell, a companion beside him said with great interest, "I know, I heard that this time it is Wu Dashuai who is preparing to join forces with Boss Zhao to negotiate the reunification of the north and the south......
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can anyone talk to a businessman about the reunification of the north and the south?" Some scoffed at this.
"Shangjia?! What happened to Shangjia? Boss Zhao is now a rich country, and more than half of the people in China eat and drink from Jiangnan, not to mention the unique industries in Jiangnan such as textiles. A person dressed as a businessman immediately spoke indignantly when he heard someone's dissatisfaction with Zhao Yun's identity as a businessman.
Hearing this person's muttering, all the people were talking for a while, it is true that the current Zhao Yun is already a rich country in the eyes of ordinary people, especially after he has enveloped the Jiangsu and Zhejiang business groups, the development of his strength is even more rapid by day.
"What are you arguing about, look, wow, this Wu Dashuai looks so young......"
"Of course, I heard that he is only in his thirties, and he is in the prime of life!"
"Cut, our Boss Zhao is not younger than him!" There were immediately unconvinced people in the crowd who compared the ages of Wu Peifu and Zhao Yun.
"By the way, as a landlord, why hasn't Boss Zhao shown up yet?"
"Huh?"
"What, you don't know? The whole of Nanjing spread the word ......"
"Pass what?"
"Boss Zhao stayed in Yixing and didn't come to Nanjing, but just sent Xu Peng as a full agent!"
Xu Peng...... Isn't that ...... The fat man? Xu Fatty? It can't be the person who follows Wu Dashuai, right? Wasn't he a county magistrate? ”
"That was a year ago, and now the tide is rising, and I have a good background with Boss Zhao......"
Just when a group of people on the side of the road were talking about Zhao Yun, Xu Peng had already sent Wu Peifu into the hotel and walked out, the guards on the street had seen Xu Peng, and hurriedly greeted him, clasping his fists and saying, "Lord Xu has worked hard!" ”
"It's okay." Xu Peng blushed his stomach and nodded, this hot day has made this fat man miserable, looked around the street, and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said, "One qiē shun lì, nothing went wrong......
"Hmmm! Don't let up! The boss took this meeting very seriously. I don't want to see anything wrong...... If anyone dares to touch the official's mold in the near future, then the official will let them know that he knows how powerful the official is! ”
"Yes! Adults don't worry, the little ones will warn these people, etc.! ”
"Very good...... Has Lord Zhu Xizhu ever been to this street? ”
"Back to my lord's words, Lord Zhu was still here, and told me to go to the barracks after being on strict guard. It is said that Marshal Wu brought a garrison battalion with 500 people, so he sent someone to invite Lord Zhu to come over and help settle down......"
"Garrison battalion?" Xu Fatzi was stunned, for the arrival of Wu Peifu, Zhu Xi was a military police of nearly 20,000 people arranged in the city, and in his opinion, there was no problem with safety.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Peng shook his head with a smile, Zhao Yun was also ambushed some time ago, and he was still in Yixing City, so it was normal for Wu Peifu to bring more people to be responsible for guarding.
It's just a battalion of troops, hey, then Ju Xi is busy this time! And you have to send someone to watch over them, and you have to send someone to settle them, hehehehe! Lao Zhu!
"Okay. If someone takes advantage of the crowd to create chaos, it's best to catch it alive, don't shoot it as usual, you know! ”
"Yes!"
Nodding, Xu Peng turned around and was about to return to the car, but unexpectedly found that there was a group of girls in the distance looking at him intently, and he was stunned, but also a little funny, after he followed Zhao Yun, he had already raised a six-room aunt's wife, which was something that I didn't dare to think of before! I just don't know, after negotiating with Wu Peifu this time, can I still have so many good livelihoods?
He greeted the guards beside him, "Hey, let's go!" A few nearby streets should also be inspected one by one, if something goes wrong, the boss will not be able to explain! ”
"Yes!" All the guards are a stand.
Under the watchful eyes of the dense crowd on the roadside in the distance, Xu Peng got into the car and continued to inspect the streets and alleys of Nanjing, after all, Zhao Yun had appointed him and Zhu Xi for the security during the meeting. Wu Peifu is currently a thorn in the eye of the warlords in Jiangnan, and everyone wants to get rid of it, so Xu Peng and the others feel a heavy responsibility, in case something happens during the period, then Wu Peifu hangs up, or is injured, it is not a joke.
Therefore, in this meeting, Xu Peng decided to keep a low profile, and all the schedules were arranged close to the next day, so no one, including Wu Peifu's side, knew the exact itinerary.
In addition, in the hospitality, in addition to pulling a message "Welcome to the handsome!" Outside of the banner, there was nothing else. Even writing only "Dashuai" instead of "Wu Dashuai" is because Xu Peng considers that there will be other warlords coming next time, and there will be no need to do it again.
It's really "buckled" to the home! Fortunately, Wu Peifu was born in the military and didn't pay attention to this, otherwise he would have thrown his sleeves away a long time ago.
Nanjing, known as the "furnace", under the August sun, circled along several main streets and secondary streets in Nanjing, so that in the evening, when Xu Peng returned to the mayor's office, he was so hot that he almost suffered from heat stroke.
At this time, it was almost evening, and at this time, Xu Peng could already pack up his things and return to the house, but today is different, as the head of the Chinese official of Nanjing's civil and military officials, he must be responsible for all the copywriting in the city.
Because he couldn't go back to his mansion, Xu Peng was thinking about finding a "secretary" to pass the time, but the entourage staring at the hotel came with a surprising news that Wu Peifu had slipped out of the hotel and didn't know where to go.
