"You Zheng, what should we do now?" After Xu Shuzheng came to Duan Qirui's mansion in Tianjin, he heard Duan Qirui ask. Xu Shuzheng sighed and shook his head.

Duan Qirui said with a bitter face: "The Northeast Army is getting braver as the battle becomes. Will they enter the pass?"

Xu Shuzheng said: "The governor, for the sake of the present, he can only ask for help from foreign aid."

Duan Qirui pondered and said, "Youzheng, if you have a solution, that's great, that's great." After thinking about the foreign aid, he was happy again. This foreign aid was naturally a foreigner. Wang Maoru had a great ability to beat the dog in the water, but he didn't have the ability to take the initiative to fight against the great powers. Thinking of this, Duan Qirui felt relaxed, and waved to Xu Shuzheng again, saying, "Come on, let's kill a game of chess."

When Xu Shuzheng heard that Duan Qirui was going to play chess with him, his mouth was cramped unconsciously. Playing chess with Duan Qirui was a very headache.

It turns out that Duan Qirui has a hobby, but this person is a bad chess player. Alas, he always likes to win. Whenever someone comes, he is pulled over and kills a few games. If he wins, he will be happy. If he loses, he will be furious and drives away. If others ask him for things, he will definitely lose to him. But Duan Qirui doesn't let others deliberately let him lose. If he sees that others are giving him chess, he will be so angry that he overturns the table and drives away. Once, Duan Qirui and his son

Duan Hongye played chess. When Duan Qirui reached the end of the game, Duan Qirui lost a lot, and then angrily scolded Duan Hongye and said, "You kid, you can't do anything, you know what future will you have?" After Duan Hongye was scolded, he had to retreat without any hesitation. Later, his son deliberately lost to Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui scolded again: "You kid, you can't even play a chess well, what else can you do in the future?" It's all right. The typical style of my son makes his son feel embarrassed and doesn't know what to do.

Duan Qirui could do this to his son, let alone others, so Xu Shuzheng was very embarrassed and had to sit down and say, "Supervisor (Duan Qirui served as the military training department). I think the Northeast Army intends to withdraw its troops." Duan Qirui nodded, set up the chess, and said, "Be the first to be the cannon!"

Xu Shuzheng jumped over the horse, Duan Qirui rushed to the barracks and said, "This is inevitable. I just didn't expect that Wang Maoru's powerful general Ruyun. Why haven't I heard of who is Mao Ziping?"

Xu Shuzheng flew and said, "This man is from Shaanxi, and his ancestors were from Shaanxi Green Camp. He studied at Shaanxi Wubei Academy when he was young, and later studied at Tianjin Wubei Academy for a year. Later, he went to Shandong to be the commander of the cavalry and sentry. He married a lady from the Confucius Family in Shandong. The Miss Kong Family married a poor commander of Shaanxi. This matter was at the time. Later, he went to Heilongjiang to become the commander of the cavalry battalion, and after the Republic of China, he became the deputy commander of the cavalry. When Wang Maoru occupied Heilongjiang, he led the remnants and defeated generals to sneak attack the rear. Wang Maoru almost failed. Later, he surrendered to Wang Maoru and became his general."

Duan Qirui vaulted to the horse and said, "This person is a talent, it's a pity, it's a pity that he is not from our Anhui clan."

At this time, Duan Qirui's eldest son Duan Hongye quickly walked in and said excitedly: "Father, father, good things. Good things!" Seeing Xu Shuzheng also, he smiled and said, "Brother Zheng is here too, it's just right, a big happy event."

Duan Qirui said: "What's the matter?"

Duan Hongye said: "The Northeast Army withdrew its troops and returned to Shanhaiguan."

"What?" Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were surprised at the same time, and stood up at the same time. Duan Hongye said: "Just received a telegram from Wang Maoru. He said that the Northeast Army was a border defense force, and the important task of guarding the border to protect the country and protecting the territorial integrity and national security, and was not a warlord force to conquer the world. Therefore, he decided not to enter the pass, but occupied Luan County. Because Luan County is the territory of the Zhili governor Cao Kun. Cao Kun sent a question, and this was a telegram." Duan Qirui took two telegrams, one

Zhang was the withdrawal of Wang Maoru and expressed his hope of domestic peace. One was Cao Kun asked the Anhui faction for the telegram from Luan County. Duan Qirui laughed and said to the servants: "Prepare wine, prepare wine. Today, Wang Maoru knew that he had been a smart person. It deserves a special celebration." Suddenly, he said angrily: "What do you mean by Cao's fool? Now that he is in the hands of the Northeast Army, why do you want us?"

Duan Hongye said: "Maybe it was because we were separated from the Zhiliuan army and were occupied by the Northeast Army. Cao Kun thought we were lost, so he asked us for it?"

Duan Qirui waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple."

Xu Shuzheng said: "Governor, I can guess one or two."

"speak."

Xu Shuzheng sneered: "Cao Kun is nothing more than greedy for Meng Enyuan to be the vice president. Meng Enyuan has the support of Wang Maoru, and he has the general Wu Peifu, so he also wants to be the president and vice president."

Duan Qirui suddenly realized: "So that's it. Cao Er's fool actually wants to be the president. He is really foolish when he is a government. It's ridiculous. Hongye, don't pay attention to it."

Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said, "Supervisor, no. Supervisor Cao's move is ridiculous, but our army has been defeated and needs to be recuperated. If the Zhili attacks at this time, our army may be in danger. Cao Kun simply wants to be the vice president. Who said that a country cannot have two vice presidents? Let's let Cao Kun also be the vice president. Supervisor Wang Maoru supports Meng Enyuan as the vice president, and Cao Kun from the Zhili department is also the vice president. Let's fight hard now."

Duan Qirui burst into laughter and said, "What a trick to bring disaster to the east, and he is worthy of being an unparalleled national sage."

Xu Shuzheng frowned and thought: "Governor, why doesn't Wang Maoru allow the Northeast border troops to go south?"

"Why are you going south? Take the city of Beijing?" Duan Qirui sat down happily and said with a smile after learning that the Northeast Army had withdrawn.

"this……"

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "Wang Maoru is not in the Northeast, and his subordinates robbed Beijing City. What do you think? What do his subordinates think?"

"The governor means that Wang Maoru intends not to let his subordinates enter Beijing?"

Duan Qirui said: "The master is extremely capable, and he will suffer a sudden disaster. No one will cause trouble."

"Governor, you should always see farther and solve my doubts." Xu Shuzheng said with a smile.

Duan Qirui shook his head and said with a smile: "Boy Xu, you just talk nonsense. I'm afraid you have the answer in your heart long ago. Don't force yourself to flatter me."

Xu Shuzheng smiled slightly and said, "Students thought that Maoziping and Jiang Fangzhen did not dare to be a great master. On the one hand, they were afraid of the Japanese and were afraid of offending the Japanese. From their small victory, they could know that these people only stabilized the Northeast and did not dare to send large troops into the pass. The Japanese had tens of thousands of Kanto troops in Kanto, tens of thousands of Korean troops in Korea, and tens of thousands of interfering troops in Vladivostok. If they angered the Japanese, I am afraid that Wang Maoru would not come back and his hometown would be gone."

Duan Qirui sighed, thinking in his heart that the left-behind troops actually defeated his carefully prepared army, it was helpless. If he had known this, he would not have indulged Wang Maoru to concentrate on his development. Now it was too late to deal with him. He looked at his wrinkled hands and suddenly realized that he was old, and Wang Maoru's rising eastwards was rising. Should he retreat?

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone telling me that the Japanese Minister Xiaohan Youyi asked for a meeting. Duan Qirui led Xu Shuzheng to go out to greet the Japanese, but I wonder what they had planned.

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were discussing the situation, and suddenly heard someone telling him that Japanese minister Xiaoba Youki asked for a meeting. Duan Qirui hurriedly went out to greet him. Xu Shuzheng followed behind him. The two were surprised to see Xiaoba Youki standing respectfully beside a short old man. Xiaoba Youki turned his head and introduced to Duan Qirui: "Duan Sang, this is the first chairman of the Manchurian Railway, the first commander of the Japanese Kanto Army, and now the special adviser of the Japanese Emperor, Goto Shinhei, senior Goto."

Duan Qirui hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Goto, welcome to China."

Goto Shinhei looked carefully at this Chinese man who was taller than himself, thin, haggard, but sharp-eyed. This is the actual controller of the Beiyang government of China, Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui clan, said in Northeast dialect full of Liaodong accent: "Duan Sang, I have long admired your temple."

"How dare you?" Duan Qirui smiled. This little Japanese Northeast dialect is really interesting. It is more authentic than the Chinese, and has a strong accent. Even if Liaodong people come to listen, they will definitely not be able to hear that this is what the Japanese say.

Goto Shinhei looked at the middle-aged man with a rebellious look beside Duan Qirui and smiled: "This person should be Xu Shuzheng, who is known as the Anhui think tank after studying in Japan, has he been called the Anhui think tank?"

Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said, "Young man is right."

Goto Shinhei nodded and praised: "It turns out that the young man is so terrifying. Anhui tiger general, tiger general."

Xu Shuzheng quickly said humbly that he could get praise from Goto Shinpei, but Xu Shuzheng was still proud of himself.

"Please sit, please sit." Duan Qirui smiled. After everyone sat down, Goto Shinhei said: "This time I came to express my wish for peace on behalf of the Great Japanese Empire. A peaceful China is more beneficial to your people, the Japanese people, the Asian people, and the world peace than the war-torn China."

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng looked at each other and had a scheming in their hearts. It turned out that the Japanese did not want China to be war-torn. They were really good comrades and friends. Xu Shuzheng said: "Wang Maoru did not accept the central government's order to resist, and annexed the three divisions of our army without authorization. This is a rebellion."

Goto Shinpei nodded and said, "Indeed, Wang Maoru is too domineering in his work and being a human being, we don't like this." Xu Shuzheng was happy, and only heard Goto Shinpei said, "However, he has no ambition to enter the central government. I think he is mostly advocated peace. Wang Mao has some ability in such a person, but his ambition is not that great. I hope that the Great Japanese Empire can serve as the mediator of both sides, and both sides live in peace, and use the Great Wall as the boundary to stop their troops."

Duan Qirui said: "Can you guarantee that Wang Maoru's troops will not go south?"
