After slamming his clenched fist on the frame in front of him, Zhou Shuyuan's angry voice rang out again.

"Lord Wang, this is to avoid a dead end...... Once we lose the power of the capital, we will become blind in the capital...... It's almost impossible to go back to the capital in the future......"

As he spoke, Zhou Shuyuan seemed to have been hit by something, and instantly became old.

Obviously, at this moment, Zhou Shuyuan has begun to lose any hope for his future.

After all, the power of the capital was formed by the former governor in two years and a lot of experience. Such a huge force collapsed in the blink of an eye, and in a word, no one could stand it.

As a subordinate, of course the deputy didn't want to watch Zhou Shuyuan go down like this......

In his opinion, if even Zhou Shuyuan doesn't have hope for his future, aren't they, who are subordinates, even more hopeless.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Shuyuan's words were finished, the deputy said excitedly: "No, Governor, we still have hope...... We also have the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo, as well as tens of thousands of elite tigers and leopards. If it is well managed, there may be millions of people...... As long as you hold these strengths in your hands, the Governor, you will never lose......"

"Yes, you're right, I haven't lost yet, and I won't lose......" At the instigation of the deputy, Zhou Shuyuan's face full of despair finally regained some self-confidence.

Then, he ordered very decisively: "Since there is nothing left to commemorate in Beijing City, then we will rush to the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo as soon as possible, and hold the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo in our own hands......"

Five days. Under the constant urging of Zhou Shuyuan. It's only five days. Zhou Shuyuan finished the journey that should have taken ten days.

Then, with a look of anticipation, he walked into the Ganning Governor's Mansion, which had just been renovated and was located in Lanzhou City......

At the welcome banquet for Zhou Shuyuan, seeing that at least half of the dozens of civil and military officials in the lobby were henchmen who had been pulled up, the confident smile on Zhou Shuyuan's face became even stronger.

In his opinion, with these henchmen in hand, he will definitely be able to control all the military and political power in Gansu and Ningbo provinces in a very short period of time.

Just after Zhou Shuyuan slept in the Governor's Mansion for half a month, he had the first peaceful sleep. When you're ready to go big

A division commander below the Fifth Army suddenly came to the Governor's Mansion and asked to see Zhou Shuyuan.

"Gao Dejun...... What is he here for...... I just came over when I took office, don't you know how to avoid suspicion......" Zhou Shuyuan's brows furrowed, and he said to himself with a dissatisfied face......

You must know that this Gao German army was the first batch of senior officers to fall to him.

It is precisely because of his secret support that he has just come from the imperial border army and is the main commander of the field division of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In the battle to seize the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, he relied on his military exploits and his own secret running. directly became the commander of the Ninth Division of the Haw Par Army and the chief of staff of the Fifth Army, which can be described as a high authority.

But. Because of the purge action launched by Wang Yewei Zheng, he was not qualified to serve as the chief of staff of the Fifth Army by virtue of his military exploits. was directly demoted and used as the commander of the 9th Division.

However, even without the post of chief of staff of the Fifth Army, this Gao German army can be called a high position in the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Such a person, coming to himself at this time, didn't he sue everyone, and he Gao Dejun was his own person......

Of course, no matter what Zhou Shuyuan thought in his heart, he even scolded Gao Dejun for being stupid. Now that the other party has come to the Governor's Palace, it is still necessary to see him. Otherwise, he will give others the feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here. Of course, it will also chill these old subordinates and henchmen who still follow him......

Therefore, after only a short hesitation, Zhou Shuyuan walked towards the living room of the Governor's Palace......

After some politeness, Gao Dejun, who confirmed that there were no outsiders in the living room, said directly to Zhou Shuyuan: "Governor, there is actually a reason why the last general came here so early...... "Governor, you know, the last general came from the side of the imperial court...... When I served in the border army of the imperial court, I had many friends and brothers...... A few days ago, a brother who was an officer in the new army of the imperial court suddenly came to me and said that he had something very important to see you, the governor......"

"At that time, the Governor, you had not yet taken office, and the last general arranged for him to be in his own home. Now that you have arrived, the Governor, the Admiral hastened him over...... Now, this man is among the last general's guards, and I wonder if you want to see the governor......"

"Officers of the new army of the imperial court...... See me......" After Gao Dejun said yes, Zhou Shuyuan's brows immediately furrowed, and he asked with a puzzled face......

Gao Dejun nodded in affirmation: "Yes, Governor...... According to the last general's knowledge, this brother of the last general directly commanded 20,000 troops in the new army of the imperial court, which can be described as a high power...... If it is calculated according to the grade, it is at least the second grade......"

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyuan's frowning brows became even deeper......

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided: "Since the other party is here, it is impossible to say that you can't see it...... Call him in right now! I want to see what secrets and conspiracies he has when such a high-ranking official comes to my territory of the Tiger and Leopard Army......"

What Zhou Shuyuan didn't expect was that the other party just walked in front of Zhou Shuyuan and gave Zhou Shuyuan a big gift.

Then, under Zhou Shuyuan's inexplicable gaze, he said very flatteringly: "Congratulations to Lord Zhou...... The last general came to the Governor's Mansion this time to congratulate Lord Zhou......"

"Hehi, are you mistaken...... I am the Governor of Ganning appointed by the Haw Par Army, and I have nothing to do with the imperial court...... No, with the style of the imperial court, it will never send someone over for no reason...... I understand, if nothing else, the court must be planning to let you come to separate me and the prince...... It just so happened that I had just been demoted by the prince...... With the style of the imperial court, I will never let go of such a good opportunity......"

Facing Zhou Shuyuan's sharp answer, the imperial court envoy directly showed a smile full of embarrassment on his face

Seeing this, Zhou Shuyuan knew that he had guessed correctly.

Then, without thinking about it, he refused: "If that's the case, then you can go back...... By the way, I would like to tell your emperor, even if I quit the Haw Par Army, it is impossible for me to join the imperial court...... In my opinion, the imperial court is no match for the Haw Par Army at all, and now joining the imperial court is no different from sending them to death......"

Faced with Zhou Shuyuan's disdain for the imperial court, the embarrassment on the envoy's face was directly replaced by anger.

After taking a deep breath, he retorted with a dissatisfied face: "Joke, Lord Zhou, you are too confident...... Before the imperial court formed a new army, it was indeed no match for the Haw Par Army. However, now it is different, you have the Tiger and Leopard Army, the imperial court has the New Army, and no one can say who will win or lose in the end. “

After speaking, he didn't give Zhou Shuyuan time to react, so he continued to ask: "Of course, these are not what we consider...... Now that the last general has come, Lord Zhou, don't you want to listen to the conditions that the imperial court has set for you......"

When the other party said who won and who lost the new army of the imperial court, Zhou Shuyuan's eyes directly flashed a look full of differences.

Although he was not moved, the other party's words had already moved Zhou Shuyuan.

What he said was right, a year ago, the imperial court was indeed no match for the Haw Par Army. However, during this year, the constant changes that took place in the imperial court seemed to be gradually narrowing the huge gap between the two......

If the situation continues to develop like this, it is really hard to say whether the imperial court, which is undergoing earth-shaking changes, will surpass the Haw Par Army in terms of overall strength......

You must know that in order to further suppress Zhou Shuyuan, many of Wei Zheng's secret operations against the imperial court were carried out by avoiding Zhou Shuyuan. Therefore, Zhou Shuyuan did not know that Wei Zheng had begun to suppress the imperial court from all aspects to avoid further development and growth of the imperial court...... (To be continued......)
