Outside Yongcheng, in the headquarters of the Fenghua New Army.

After Zhang Dingfeng respectfully put forward Hu Shen's request, Chen Bozhong, who was sitting on the recliner, did not answer, but just looked at him.

"Why?" Chen Bozhong looked unhappy, "Why did you send troops there?" And it's also a company, do you know how many people are in a company? How many troop allocations? ”

Ma Xiaotian beside Chen Bozhong looked proud, Zhang Dingfeng knew that Ma Xiaotian had fanned the flames in front of Chen Bozhong during this time.

Zhang Dingfeng shook his head and said: "I don't know my uncle's arrangement, as for the details, please ask the commander to ask him personally." ”

Chen Bozhong said angrily: "...... personally"

As soon as Chen Bozhong stood up, he saw Hu Shen slowly walking in from outside with a Taoist boy.

That's right, Hu Shen and Zhang Dingfeng came to the headquarters together, and he would never go with Rong Pingye.

Moreover, Hu Shen knew that during this time, he had been throwing Chen Bozhong outside the city, and this pig's brain had long been dissatisfied, and unless he came, he would not be able to suppress this evil fire.

Hu Shen smiled and asked, "Personally what?" Commander, you are suffering outside the city. ”

Chen Bozhong immediately stepped forward and wanted to shake hands, but Hu Shen didn't have hands, and he felt strange when he wanted to hug, so he had to stand there and say, "The chief of staff is back, how is the situation in the city?" ”

Hu Shen said: "As always, Zhang Fuzhi didn't make any clear statement, just dragging his feet. ”

Chen Bozhong hurriedly asked: "Why is he delaying time?" ”

Hu Shen said: "Drag on the time to fight, drag on the time to wait for the direction of the national situation." ”

Chen Bozhong hurriedly said: "Chief of Staff, you must already know, right?" When the revolutionary army reached Hunan, it was like a bamboo. ”

Hu Shen nodded and said, "So, we have to wait now." ”

Chen Bozhong hurriedly asked, "Do you have to wait?" In that case, why don't we go back to Fenghua and wait. ”

Chen Bozhong was not angry, just stupid, and Hu Shen just laughed.

Chen Bozhong glanced at Zhang Dingfeng, who was expressionless, and asked again: "Chief of Staff, we are stationed outside the city every day, and there are so many people, and it is not a way to eat food every day." ”

Hu Shen sat down: "Even if you return to Fenghua, don't so many people have to eat food?" Regarding the matter of military salaries, I will let Zhang Fuzhi pay this money, commander, please rest assured, what I will do next is very important, so I ask the commander to send a company to go with me. ”

Chen Bozhong hurriedly said, "Adjutant Ma, do you hear it?" Gather my company of guards and hurry. ”

Ma Xiaotian was about to say something, but because Hu Shen and Zhang Dingfeng were there, he had no choice but to go out and gather the guard company.

After the guard company gathered, Hu Shen and Zhang Dingfeng immediately led people to the village where Gongsun Zhu was, without the slightest hesitation, Chen Bozhong still stood there stupidly and watched, telling Hu Shen to pay attention to safety.

Waiting for the team to go away, Ma Xiaotian hurriedly asked, "Commander, is this ...... I ......"

Chen Bozhong put away his smile: "What are you and me, do I still refuse the request of the chief of staff?" Isn't my refusal of his request tantamount to rejecting the salary that will be received immediately? Isn't it tantamount to announcing to the whole army that I have broken with the chief of staff? Then the morale of the army will be weakened, and it will be rumored by the outside world that I, Chen Bozhong, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and I am not grateful. ”

Ma Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Commander, it is you who are kind to him, not him who is kind to you." ”

Chen Bozhong said coldly: "Adjutant Ma, these sycophants, it doesn't matter if you talk about them on weekdays, and if you bring them up at a critical time, it will make me think that you have bad intentions." ”

Ma Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Commander, I am dedicated to your good." ”

Chen Bozhong said: "Is what the chief of staff said wrong? Zhang Fuzhi is looking at the situation, and I am also watching, but I have placed my bet on the revolutionary army, and now that we look at it, it is right, now that their morale is booming, and they have won successive battles, I estimate that within two or three years, the revolutionary army will be able to unify the whole country. ”

Ma Xiaotian said: "Then, then we have to wait here for two or three years?" ”

Chen Bozhong frowned and said: "We are the vanguard of the revolutionary army, and Fu Guodong is Sun Chuanfang's subordinate, you say, who will Zhang Fuzhi choose in the end?" ”

Ma Xiaotian was stupid and incomplete: "What if, Fu Guodong also falls to the revolutionary army?" ”

Chen Bozhong said with a smile: "That's great, we can occupy Yongcheng bloodlessly, do you think that when the time comes, the first position in Yongcheng will be me, the vanguard commander of the revolutionary army, or will Sun Chuanfang's subordinates sit?" ”

Ma Xiaotian gave a thumbs up: "The commander really thinks long-term and thoughtful. ”

Chen Bozhong slapped Ma Xiaotian on the shoulder: "This time, the sycophants are in the right place." ”

●

An Wanghai did not invite Zhang Fuzhi to a banquet, but asked the servant to secretly bring a message and ask Zhang Fuzhi to meet in private.

Of course, Zhang Fuzhi already knew what happened at the dock last night, because no one could be offended by Gao De, Zhang Fuzhi asked, and he answered truthfully, his tone was full of grievances, and he repeatedly told Zhang Fuzhi that he couldn't afford to offend Westerners, and he didn't dare to snub Easterners.

What the hell is going on?

Zhang Fuzhi was puzzled all night, and just when he was about to visit An Wanghai on the grounds of concern, he actually received an invitation from An Wanghai, so he immediately tried to find a way to tell An Wanghai in the most secret way that An Wanghai was received into the mansion.

After An Wanghai arrived at the mansion, his face was full of sadness.

Zhang Fuzhi hugged his fists and said, "Special Envoy Ye, was it okay last night?" ”

An Wanghai said: "There is no danger. ”

Zhang Fuzhi stretched out his hand and motioned for An Wanghai to sit down: "Special Envoy Ye, please take a seat, what happened last night?" ”

An Wanghai sighed: "Boss Li found me and asked me to help him, because he owed 150,000 yuan in compensation to foreigners, and I asked him how to help?" He said, as long as I went and met the Japanese man named Keiichi Ikeda. ”

Zhang Fuzhi looked at An Wanghai: "And then?" ”

An Wanghai said angrily: "After meeting that Keiichi Ikeda, he asked me about the internal affairs of the army, and finally we broke up unhappily, I told Boss Li that the Japanese are cheating, and the drunkard does not mean to drink, so don't accept their conditions." ”

Zhang Fuzhi asked again: "What conditions?" ”

An Wanghai lowered his voice: "They decided to use a fake insurance contract to compensate Boss Li. ”

Zhang Fuzhi was puzzled: "This is a loss-making deal, how can the Japanese be so shrewd?" ”

An Wanghai said: "So, later they set up the assassination trap at the dock last night, and wrongly accused Boss Li of hiring a murderer, that is, to kill me, isn't it ridiculous?" The Japanese said that now that one of the three families in Yongcheng has collapsed, and there are only two left, Boss Li has lost his original status, and they can rub him around and rub him at will. ”

An Wanghai's words were to make Zhang Fuzhi think that the fire was set by the Japanese.

At this time, Zhang Fuzhi was also thinking about this, and he asked again: "What do the Japanese want to do?" Just want to meddle in the affairs of the army from the envoy Ye? ”

An Wanghai shook his head: "Where is it so simple, Master Zhang, I am an outsider, the matter of Yongcheng originally had nothing to do with me, there are some things I have to say, I came today, I came for the arms, negotiate this deal, I have to leave to return to Shuntianfu immediately." ”

At this time, Zhang Fuzhi was very curious about the purpose of the Japanese, and asked: "Special Envoy Ye, although you are not from Yongcheng, but you are also a friend of my Zhang Fuzhi, someone embarrasses you, that is, it is difficult for me, and besides, Li Songming is my third brother, I can't watch him jump into the fire pit?" ”

An Wanghai shook his head in embarrassment, but thought in his heart: Then why the hell did you go earlier?

An Wanghai wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "The Japanese are here for that piece of land, the piece of land for the textile factory!" ”

Zhang Fuzhi was puzzled: "That piece of land? What do they want that piece of land for? ”

An Wanghai said: "He didn't say it clearly, but the implication was that there was something underground." ”

Zhang Fuzhi's face changed, An Wanghai found that Zhang Fuzhi's face had changed, and he also felt very surprised, could it be that Zhang Fuzhi knew?

Zhang Fuzhi came back to his senses and asked, "Things?" What do you mean? ”

An Wanghai shook his head: "I don't know about this, the Japanese think that I am the special envoy of the Feng army, and the Feng army has a good relationship with the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast, so they think I can trust it, so I hope I will come forward to take that piece of land, do you think, if Li Songming accepts their conditions and gives the foreigners compensation, they Japanese will not dare to come forward easily?" I was afraid of being targeted by the British, Americans and French, so I first offered Boss Li a tempting condition, asked me to come out to negotiate, and then framed Boss Li. ”

In fact, An Wanghai deliberately said these words a little chaotically, with almost no logic, so that Zhang Fu couldn't understand it for a while, and then he explained it and introduced Zhang Fuzhi to his own thoughts.

Zhang Fuzhi thought for a long time and said: "Someone burned Li Songming's textile factory, and the Japanese targeted that piece of land again, Li Songming wanted to compensate the British and American representatives of 150,000 yuan, he couldn't come up with the money, the Japanese used a fake contract to induce him to meet you, when he asked you, he wanted to spy on the internal affairs of the Fengjun, but you refused, and then framed Li Songming for sending someone to assassinate you, and finally confessed to you, saying that it was for that land, which was ostensibly aimed at you, but in fact it was still persecuting Li Songming?" ”

An Wanghai explained: "Master Zhang, let's think about it calmly, why did the textile factory catch fire on the night I invited the two of them to dinner? Why not the first day? Not the next day? ”

Zhang Fuzhi said: "You say, this fire ......"

An Wanghai stopped Zhang Fuzhi from saying: "We just know it, some things can't be said, there is no evidence, and if you say it, it will be framed." ”

Zhang Fuzhi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we know it." ”

An Wanghai said again: "The Japanese said it, they know very well that you won't help Boss Li." ”

An Wanghai deliberately stimulated Zhang Fuzhi verbally and put his thoughts on Japan.

Zhang Fuzhi was furious: "Li Songming is my third brother!" Why didn't I help him? ”

An Wanghai motioned to Zhang Fuzhi to whisper: "Master Zhang, the Japanese told me openly and secretly that you set the fire, although I didn't reprimand them at the time, but immediately said that it was absolutely impossible, because it would not do you any good, and the fool also knows, Li Songming is in trouble, he has to find you to find a way, right?" ”

Zhang Fuzhi nodded: "The person who knows me is no better than Special Envoy Ye, I didn't expect that when I reached this age, I was still splashed with dirty water." ”

An Wanghai said: "The Japanese can't look for me directly, once they look for me, once their target of that piece of land is exposed, everyone knows that this matter is related to them, so they made a condition to let Boss Li ask me to meet with them, the so-called spying on the internal affairs of Fengjun is fake, and it is true that I am their agent." ”

Zhang Fuzhi still didn't understand: "I still don't understand, you and Li Songming have no relatives and no reason, even if they threaten to frame Li Songming, you don't have any reason to help Li Songming?" Can't threaten you at all? ”

An Wanghai wanted to say something, but shook his head again, looking particularly embarrassed.

Zhang Fuzhi looked at An Wanghai's appearance and said bluntly: "Special Envoy Ye, there are only you and me here, so there is no need to have any scruples." ”
