Chapter 231: Change of Meaning (I)

Xu Changqing smiled, didn't say anything more, and said in a deep voice: "In fact, Chenjiachong Mountain City is not as simple as outsiders think, when the Chenjiachong Mountain City was built, the ninth-rate idlers of that generation once integrated a set of eight-gate golden lock ancient arrays into the mountain city, and the Chen family's mansion is a small four-elephant array. As long as Xiaoshan and they control the formation, if those tantric masters break in, although they may not be able to injure them, it is not a problem to trap them, and then we only need to catch turtles in the urn. ”

"Now that you have an idea, we just have to do it. Chang Yin's face was hideous, his tongue licked his lips, and said: "It's just that the golden bodies of those tantric masters of Buddhism want to be left to me, I believe that as long as I can refine those Buddhist golden bodies, my heavenly evil bones will definitely be able to become successful." As soon as these words came out, he felt a little carried away again, looked at Xu Changqing and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, if my cultivation is stable, I will be able to better protect Xiaoshan and them in the Great Tribulation." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and said indifferently: "I naturally understand this." ”

Just when Xu Changqing and the others were discussing countermeasures in Taohuashan Yizhuang, the atmosphere in the Chen family's house under the mountain changed from the previous calm and became turbulent.

"Smack!" A loud noise came from the small courtyard of the Beiyang Army, and I saw Xu Shuzheng's face angry, his eyes bloodshot, and the newspaper on the table was pinched into pieces.

"Again, calm down. Yang Shiqi frowned, stepped forward and said urgently.

"Calm down, now at this time, how can you let me calm down!" Xu Shuzheng's face was bruised, and he yelled at Yang Shiqi: "Yuan Gong didn't even reveal any news to us in advance about such a big matter, but our so-called Beiyang cronies finally learned about it from other people's newspapers, is this how Yuan Gong trust......s us?"

"That's enough! Hello Zheng, be cautious!Be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!" Yang Shiqi snorted coldly, interrupting Xu Shuzheng's complaints, and then glanced at Fu Liangzuo, who also had a gloomy face, and asked him to take people to guard around the courtyard, and only after there were only two people left in the room did he say: "I can understand Brother Zheng's grievances, but now is definitely not the time to complain, and I think the reason why Yuan Gong did not tell us about the seriousness of the situation in Outer Mongolia is also because he is afraid that we will show weakness when we negotiate." What grievances do you have to bury in your stomach no matter what, and the most important thing now is how to redeem the disadvantage?"

"What Brother Xingcheng said is extremely true, but the younger brother is too impatient. Xu Shuzheng took a deep breath, his face gradually recovered, he hugged his fist towards Yang Shiqi, and said: "My brother has been by Yuan Gong's side for many years and is trusted by Yuan Gong, can I tell my younger brother Yuan Gong if he has made arrangements in this matter?"

"I don't know about this, and Yuan Gong has never revealed a word to me about Outer Mongolia. Yang Shiqi frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "But with my understanding of Yuan Gong, he must have made arrangements in advance. Do you think that it is necessary to use the two sharp blades of Cao Kun and Long Jinbao to deal with the rebellious parties in Shanxi and Shaanxi? Cao Kun has 60,000 elites from the Third Town, 40,000 elites from the First Town under Long Jinbao, and 50,000 Zhili troops under his hands, making a total of 150,000 troops. Such a huge army is only used to deal with the chaotic parties in the two places, is it a bit of a knife to kill chickens?"

"No wonder I thought it was unbelievable that Yuan Gong distributed his troops in this way, it seems that Yuan Gong is Xiang Zhuang dancing swords, and he intends to be Pei Gong. Xu Shuzheng's face softened slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer of disdain: "It's a pity that although the sword has danced, Duke Pei still goes his own way, and Duke Yuan is too confident." ”

Yang Shiqi was noncommittal, although he was also deeply dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai for hiding this matter from him, but as a staff member, his first consideration was to lower the anger of the new general in front of him.

After the room was quiet for a while, Xu Shuzheng's expression also tended to soften, and then Yang Shiqi spoke: "The current shape is extremely unfavorable to us, the revolutionary army is using this news to put pressure on us, do you think we are sure that the conditions set by Yuan Gong before will be completed?"

After Xu Shuzheng's anger subsided, he became calm again, his eyes closed slightly, his fingers tapped on the tabletop, and after a short time, he opened his eyes suddenly, and said confidently: "Fifty percent! I think there should still be fifty percent certainty." ”

"Fifty percent, so high?" According to Yang Shiqi's estimate, he was only thirty percent sure at most, so he was naturally surprised when he heard Xu Shuzheng's words.

"That's still a conservative estimate. Xu Shuzheng's face said calmly: "Now that Russia has successfully made the foreign ** stand, they will inevitably pick up the results of the battle and stabilize the situation, plus Cao Kun and Long Jinbao's 150,000 elite soldiers are guarding in the north, the situation in the north has basically stabilized, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke in the short term, the Russian troops in Outer Mongolia will not dare to move." In this way, the biggest disadvantage of our previous negotiations is gone, and now we are completely free to deal with the revolutionary army in the south, and as far as the north-south negotiations are concerned, we are now taking the initiative. ”

"That's right, that's right!" Yang Shiqi quickly figured out the joints, suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "No wonder Yuan Gong named you to serve as the deputy envoy that day, it seems that I am not as good as you in terms of the overall situation!"

"Brother Xingcheng has won the award, I'm just playing tricks, and Brother Xingcheng needs to be at the helm of the specific negotiation matters. Xu Shuzheng smiled indifferently, and then said solemnly: "Although we have an advantage now, whether we can make Yuan Gong's conditions pass guò still needs some external forces, it seems that the two of us should officially meet Chen Deshang, the head of the Chen family." ”

Yang Shiqi interjected: "In addition to Chen Deshang, I also need to see another person, Xu Changqing." ”

At the same time, in another courtyard, Chen Fan read the newspaper in his hand several times with great pride, and smiled at Song Jiaoren: "It seems that this time the Beiyang Army can be said to be suffering from the enemy on its back, and the future is worrying!"

Song Jiaoren didn't have such a good mood as Chen Fan, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face was solemn, and he sighed and said: "Ziyu, you have gone too far! ”

Mr. Song was right. Chen Fan knew that he was a little carried away, so he quickly restrained his smile and replaced it with an open-minded and teachable look, and then changed the topic and said: "Now that the Beiyang Army's negotiating advantage is running out, how should we operate?"
