At the same time, the Totofu -

Compared with the Metropolitan Mansion a year ago, today's Metropolitan Mansion has changed greatly if you look closely, not only the old walls of the previous dynasties have been renovated, but even the walls of Zhang Lizhang's study are hung with several famous calligraphy purchased at a great price.

"Brother Zhang, I see that you are getting more and more hopeful these days! I don't think it's easy for me to make tea.

The tip of Xinyang's hair, known as the blue sky jade leaf or the tea before the Ming Dynasty, is worth a thousand gold just for this handful! ”

In the garden of the backyard of the Dutong Mansion, at this time, two middle-aged men wearing long robes and regular clothes sat opposite each other in a pavilion, looking like they were drinking tea and discussing Taoism.

"Chief Zhao, look at what you said, you finally came over, how can you not take out something good to entertain and entertain?" Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, let's talk about it, why do we need to be like this in private?" The middle-aged man on the opposite side frowned and pretended to be displeased.

"Haha! That's a good feeling, Brother Zhao, since you said so, then you have to stay here for a few more days, and if I give you a few pots of hairy tips afterwards, you can't refuse! Zhang Li climbed up the pole and said with a smile.

"Haha! Brother Zhang, you! You! ~”

The middle-aged man on the opposite side, known as Brother Zhao, pointed at Zhang Li and scolded with a smile.

The middle-aged man's face looked a little blessed, and the whole posture was a smiling tiger, and his face was always full of smiles.

The long shirt on his body was bulging and swollen, which was a bit nondescript, but the middle-aged man didn't care at all, but was quite elegant.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, this time I came here not just to catch up with my brother, right? You're in the limelight right now, how can you have time to dedicate a trip to your brother's place? ”

Zhang Li was a little suspicious, the person in front of him was one of the most trusted under the command of the marshal, and he was still the commander of the cavalry under the command of the marshal.

Although he is the commander of this Chahar, he is really not as big as this one in terms of real power.

At the military level, this is still his superior, after all, he is the commander of a cavalry division, and his rank is two levels higher than him, and his military rank is one level higher than him.

There is not only the Order of the Fourth-Class Yunlu, but also the Order of the Second-Class Baoding.

In today's domestic army, this Yunlu Medal is better than the Medal of Loyalty, and it is worse than the Medal of Baoding.

But there are very few who can have the Baoding Medal and the Yunlu Medal.

The Yunlu Medal is easy to say, this Baoding Medal is the same as the Yunlu Medal, which is divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Among them, the first to fourth classes can only be received by generals, the third to sixth classes for colonels, the fourth to seventh classes for lieutenants, and the sixth to ninth classes for soldiers.

Those below the school level who can receive the Baoding Medal are the first to ascend in ancient times, or they are at the level of beheading the flag and killing the head.

If the general can get it, that is a symbol of strength and status, and he must have a hard record that he can really fight.

And the second-class Baoding Medal is even more incredible.

And the power of this one is also incredible.

A few years ago, that is, in 27 years, this assistant marshal commanded the four regions of Jin, Hebei, Chacha, and Sui, and was specially responsible for receiving the men and horses of 4 armies and 26 regiments of miscellaneous cavalry in Chasui and Sui.

In total, there are more than 100,000 horses.

Although it has now been reduced to four brigades and twelve regiments after two downsizing, reorganization, and twelve regiments, the command authority of the cavalry is still very great.

Once the war began, this one would inevitably be reused and master most of the cavalry's strength.

At present, Chief Zhao's troops are not less than 20,000.

"Brother Zhang, you're still too sensitive, no, but you're really right."

Zhao Sui couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and a gloomy look appeared on his brow when he put down the teacup.

"I think Brother Zhang has also paid attention to some domestic trends recently, and he knows that the situation of the handsome man is not good now."

Hearing this, Zhang Li appeared to be surprised.

Of course, he knows the current situation, and now that fighting has begun in the south, although it is still only a skirmish, the tension between the two sides has become more and more obvious.

And the position of the military leader of his own marshal is gone, and he belongs to the temporary military leader supported by many generals of the second, third, and fourth legions.

It's equivalent to playing your own game, and you're starting to sing against the government.

This is already an irreconcilable contradiction, and anyone can see that a major war is about to break out.

"Brother Zhao, did you bring the order of the marshal this time? You said, how do you need me to cooperate, my side has been comfortable for a while.

The soldiers are all shouting and want to go to the battlefield to fight with real swords and guns! ”

Zhang Li said with a smile, he is really not afraid of war now, after all, after a year's rest, he can be regarded as recovering from the loss of a regiment in Mongolia the year before last.

In addition, he made a lot of money, and this person was in good spirits at happy events, and he couldn't wait to pull him out to practice.

Anyway, he doesn't need to pay for the war, and he uses the funds allocated by the marshal.

"It's not in a hurry now, I'm just asking you to prepare now, and call Brother Guo, Brother Zhang, Brother Yang, and Brother Guan, so that they can all get ready.

Perhaps next month, the commander will send two cavalry divisions south to rush to the triangle east of the Pinghan Line and south of the Jinpu Line to assist the infantry in the attack.

You know, the big man generally doesn't make a move, and once he does, he will definitely kill people. Zhao Sui said with a smile.

"Oh! ~ Do you want to drive straight into the country and seize the land of the southern part of the country? ”

Zhang Li raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised, this is a dangerous move.

The road to Nanzhili will not be so simple.

Zhao Sui said lightly, "It's good that you know about this, remember not to spread it, and this is the temporary strategy of the General Staff, and it may change when the time comes."

Therefore, Brother Zhang, you have to prepare early, the preparations required for the army to be drawn are very cumbersome, and I need that once the order is issued, you can all start quickly and quickly reach the front line within ten days. ”

"That's fine!" Zhang Li nodded heavily, when it comes to military aircraft, of course he can't be sloppy.

"There is another matter, the situation over there in Chabei wants me to ask you how to deal with it?

In the event of a war, you may guarantee that nothing will go wrong in the rear? Zhao Sui said in a low voice,

"Although this Zhao Ming is Feng Shuai's person, and now Feng Shuai has joined forces with us and others, what this person has done is uncertain.

According to the intelligence feedback, this person is expanding the army right under your nose, right?

What does he mean? Well?

How did you do that? ”

Hearing Zhao Sui say this, Zhang Li chuckled in his heart, but he didn't expect that what should have come came.

"Brother Zhao, I have already explained to Dashuai at this time, and you don't need to worry too much about small things.

After all, this Zhao Ming hangs alone in the grassland, where did their ordnance come from? Even if you spend a lot of money to buy a lot.

But so what? Their place is destined to not be able to raise a large army, and even if there is chaos, they are confident that they will be able to extinguish it quickly. ”
