Jilin, Overseer's Mansion, Wu Xingquan's study. Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan's father and son sat opposite each other, and half an hour ago, Qin Hua, the representative of Feng Linge, the commander of Rehe, left. Wu Xingquan agreed to the request for an alliance with Feng Linge, and promised that after settling Zhang Yuting, Feng Linge's interests would not be violated. However, this is simply a lie.

"Haoxuan, is it really good to deceive Feng Linge like this?" Wu Xingquan frowned. After all, everyone is a brother, and now they not only have to fight each other, but also deceive each other, which makes Wu Xingquan feel very uncomfortable.

Wu Haoxuan was a little speechless, he knew that Wu Xingquan was angry again. Wu Xingquan was originally a very righteous person, and it was too difficult for him to want him to play these tricks.

In fact, there is a great shortage of talents in this area among the entire Feng warlords. In contrast, Yuan Datou in the Guannai is full of talents. Whether it is Yang Shiqi, Tang Shaoyi or Duan Qirui or the like, they can all be regarded as talents of this era. Although, due to the fact that their horizons are not broad enough, their appearance in history is not very good. But if you can give them a bigger platform, they will definitely be able to show their talents.

Talent is the most important thing at all times. Many of the warlords in the Feng family are still small characters. And those in power are almost all incompetent. Wu Haoxuan plans to gradually discover these talents after unifying the entire Northeast.

"Dad, there's no way around it. If Feng Linge was not given a hope, he would not resolutely resist Zhang Yuting. Once Zhang Yuting quickly defeated Feng Linge and annexed Rehe, his strength would skyrocket. Coupled with the support of the Japanese, if we don't do it well, we will become our great enemy. We must unify the Northeast at the lowest cost. In this way, we will have enough strength to deal with possible interference by the Japanese. Wu Haoxuan said.

The power of Zhang Yuting and Feng Linge was not taken into account by him at all. What he was really worried about was the interference of the Japanese. He did not dare to guarantee that the Japanese would not take the risk and send a large army to invade China again. After all, Japan, which was recovering from the wounds of the war, was in great need of South Manchuria's resources. If the Japanese were to be cut off from resources, it would inevitably hit Japan's industry, especially heavy industry. In order to ensure their own interests, the Japanese will most likely fight desperately. Wu Haoxuan had to guard against this.

Wu Xingquan nodded, he also knew his character, and he had never been a person who did big things. The reason why today's situation can exist is completely the result of Wu Haoxuan's efforts.

"Well, whatever you say Daddy, no matter what, I can't hold you back. But are you really ready for this fight? Once we take Mukden, little Japan will definitely go crazy. Wu Xingquan reminded.

"Dad, everything that should be prepared is ready. As long as Little Japan committed no more than 10 divisions of troops, we had a good chance of victory. Wu Haoxuan said.

With the establishment of the Japanese Army, if a division is at full strength, there are almost 22,500 people. The Japanese Army now has a total of 25 divisions. However, these divisions and regiments were all dissatisfied, and there were only more than 10,000 people. If Japan had sent ten divisions into battle, it would have been 225,000 men. With the current capabilities of the Jilin Army, it is indeed very difficult to defeat so many Japanese troops.

The Japanese Army's garrison in the northeast consisted mainly of six railway garrison brigades and one understaffed 2nd Division, with a total strength of less than 20,000 troops. In addition, Japan stationed the 3rd and 10th Divisions in Korea, led by General Hasegawa Yoshimichi. This is a force that poses a direct threat to the Northeast. If these three divisions could have been eliminated at the beginning of Japan's intervention in the war, the battle would have been much easier to fight.

"Dad, this battle in the future is very critical for us in Jilin. The outcome of this battle is directly related to our future. If we can win, then we will become a well-deserved hegemon in the Northeast, and if we develop patiently for a few more years, it is not impossible to enter the main pass. Of course, if it fails, then it will be all over. I'm afraid that our father and son will have to go into exile, and there is no place for us in the country. Fortunately, my son's property in the United States is enough for our family to live comfortably for several lifetimes. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Haha! Now that the retreat is ready, I'm afraid of a fart! Isn't it Little Japan? Although they are powerful, the strength of our Jilin Army is not necessarily worse than theirs. Wu Xingquan's arrogance was also stimulated.

"Dad, it can be expected that after we attack Mukden, once Zhang Yuting can't resist it, the Japanese will inevitably attack. Therefore, I hope that my father can sit in Jilin and guard our rear. As for solving the affairs of Zhang Yuting and Feng Linge, as well as the Japanese, it will be up to his son to do it for him. ”

"Okay." Wu Xingquan nodded, he knew that his skills in fighting were rusty, and his experience was a little outdated. If you command blindly, it will lead to problems for the army. Under such circumstances, his keeping the nest is the biggest insistence on Wu Haoxuan.

Here in Wu Xingquan, Wu Haoxuan has full support, which is exactly what he wants.

In the following period, the Jilin Army completely entered the preparations for war. Twelve infantry divisions have completed their recruit training and are starting to run in. The junior officers who graduated from the Army Military Academy were assigned to various departments, which further enriched the troops and increased their combat effectiveness. Although, there are too many recruits, so that the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot be compared with the elite troops. However, the equipment of advanced weapons has effectively changed this.

The 12 infantry divisions of the Jilin Army may not be able to compare with the elite Japanese Army. However, dealing with the rabble of Zhang Yuting and Feng Linge, there was no problem at all.

As for deceiving Feng Linge and letting Feng Linge go to fight with Zhang Yuting, Wu Haoxuan didn't feel guilty at all. Whether it is Zhang Yuting or Feng Linge, they are not good birds. Not to mention that the two have always hooked up with the Japanese and done a lot of things to help the abuse. After Feng Linge was abandoned by the Japanese, he got mixed up with Lao Maozi.

And whether it is the Japanese or Lao Maozi, they are China's great enemies. This kind of person who betrays the interests of the country and the nation, Wu Haoxuan will certainly not show mercy to their subordinates.

In August 1906, Zhang Yuting, who had completed preparations for war, sent his army to the border. Its main force, the 27th town, went directly to the front line of Jinzhou. Of the remaining ten independent brigades, except for two left in Shengjing, the remaining eight were all dispatched. In order to get rid of Feng Linge, Zhang Yuting sent 85% of the army.

Feng Linge was also on the verge of a great enemy, and the main force of the 28th town left Chengde to prepare to resist Zhang Yuting's army. The other three mixed associations, except for one who was left to garrison Chengde, the rest were all dispatched. In addition, the thousands of Mongolian cavalry formed by Feng Linge also gathered. In order to resist Zhang Yuting's attack, Feng Linge also let go.

Although, from Wu Xingquan got a promise. However, Feng Linge did not believe it. He only believes in strength. Feng Linge knew that he couldn't fight against Zhang Yuting on his own, so he only hoped to be able to resist Zhang Yuting temporarily. After Wu Xingquan sent troops, Zhang Yuting naturally would not fight him again. When the time comes, Rehe will be saved.

Shengjing City, Fengtian Governor's Mansion, Zhang Yuting's study. Zhang Yuting, Yang Tingyu and Goto Shinpei are plotting.

"Your Excellency, the Feng army is all in place, ready to launch an attack on Feng Lin Pavilion at any time. But what about your commitments? Zhang Yuting asked. The Feng army had already entered the intended position, but was in no hurry to attack. This time, he sent all the main forces out. Once Wu Xingquan came to commit it, he would have no choice at all.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. By the very beginning of the Feng army's attack, the South Manchurian Railway would be suspended. In addition, the railway garrison brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army began to conduct exercises to block the passage from Jilin to Mukden. Until Feng Jun solves Feng Linge. Goto Shinpei, the old devil, had a smile on his face.

As long as Zhang Yuting solves Feng Linge and annexes Rehe. Zhang Yuting will be able to confront Wu Xingquan. Of course, Zhang Yuting has to rely on Japan's strength, and Japan will be able to completely control Zhang Yuting. Once Zhang Yuting becomes the hegemon of the Northeast, then Japan can completely take the entire Northeast as its own.

"Marshal, with the help of Japanese friends, Wu Xingquan's army will not be able to come to Mukden, and we have enough time to solve Feng Linge." Yang Tingyu also said on the side.

Wu Xingquan nodded, the promise of the Japanese was a guarantee for him to send troops to Rehe. Without the support of the Japanese, he would not have dared to mobilize the main force to attack Rehe. However, would Wu Xingquan really be afraid of the Japanese? Nor was he sure of that. The Japanese railway garrison brigade also had only six brigades and more than 6,000 people. The garrison in Jilin was nothing more than 1,000 people from a brigade. Wu Xingquan should not have a problem dealing with these more than 1,000 Japanese. However, Wu Xingquan should not have the courage to confront the Japanese. After all, Japan is an emerging power, and no matter how powerful Wu Xingquan's father and son are, I am afraid they have to consider the reaction of the Japanese.

"Well, we're going to win this battle." A determined gaze flashed in Zhang Yuting's eyes.

Goto Shinpei and Yang Tingyu also had smiles on their faces.

On August 11, 1906, Zhang Yuting ordered the 7th and 8th Independent Brigades of the Fengtian Army to march into Taonan Mansion and officially came to see the war with Feng Linge.
