Volume Four, The Battle of Unification, Chapter 615, Divisiveness

Zhang Kui'an had reason to be calm. Although his mind flew, he was actually under little pressure. Behind him were more than 500,000 National Defense Forces and more than 300,000 Beiyang Army to be reorganized stood. He had reason to believe that as long as the benefits were sufficient, Cao Kun would definitely compromise.

What we are worried about now is not the issue of the reorganization of the National Defense Forces, but the issue of Cao Kun's stay or leave. Since Cao Kun was driven out of the vice president's seat, he is now in the two lakes with an unjust reputation. Now it seems that there is nothing in the war, but what is his identity when he is not a war?

In addition, after the defeat of the Zhili Army, the central government cut off the military expenditure of all warlords who disobeyed the central government, and relied on only one and a half provinces (Hubei Province and northern Hunan Province) to support more than 60,000 troops and huge Zhili Army. The advantage was that the large number of Zhili Army officers and their wives could not bear it, and it was difficult to maintain it. Even if Li Yanqing was greedy for money, he was not stupid at the moment of life and death. This man was killed by Feng Yuxiang in history because of his greed for money. However, when Li Yanqing was forced to hand over Cao Kun's money in the British bank by Feng Yuxiang, he was loyal to the master and did not explain a penny. In the end, the money (about 6 million oceans) was all cheaper than the British. The British did not return the money to Cao Kun's descendants, but swallowed it himself.

The direct line only occupies the economic center Yueyang in Hunan, and the downstream of Hubei is close to the intersecting land of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, and is occupied by Wu Guangxin. The direct line still maintains its strength on the surface, but in fact it is extremely poor. No wonder Li Yanqing complained that the direct line army had no meal.

The richest provinces in the Republic of China are Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhili, now all in the hands of Wang Maoru. If the Zhili tribe wants to fight, it will definitely not be able to beat them. Look at the number of airships, look at the number of airships, and look at the number of army members, Cao Kun felt helpless.

After a long time, everyone stopped talking, and the scene was a little awkward. Cao Kun's confidant Li Yanqing came out to beat him and said, "It's getting late, so why not go and have a meal and chat today."

Cao Kun stroked his beard and said, "It's good."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "As the guest, please."

Cao Kun then brought some gentry and celebrities to the largest brothel in Kaifeng to entertain the sky, and the banquet was surrounded by the beakers. Zhang Kui'an was always there. Li Yanqing gave Cao Kun a wink. The two came out, and Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Just just now, Wu Ziyu's guard came over and said that he would come over and kill Zhang Kui'an's majesty. Can the general see?"

Cao Kun smiled slightly and said, "Don't be too much."

Li Yanqing said: "Wu Ziyu should know how to advance and retreat."

After the two returned, they chatted and laughed with Zhang Kui'an. Li Yanqing was a famous actor and sang a song of Qingyi. So they raised their voices and sang "Su Sanqijie" in joy. Although this was not the first time everyone heard Li Junqing sing Qingyi, they could no longer hear it since he became the secretary-general of Cao Kun and Cao Dashui. So they applauded.

While singing, I heard the shouting outside and fired a gun. After a while, Wu Peifu kicked the door open with the guards and walked in with great strides. He said, "Who is Wang Maoru's man? I have to peel him off today."

At this time, Zhang Kui'an, who was hugging left and right, smiled contemptuously, stood up and said, "I am just a talented person from the National Defense Forces' Foreign Affairs Office. His surname is Zhang, Kui'an, his courtesy name is Dingguo."

"What a brave man, he actually came to die." Wu Peifu shouted.

Zhang Kui'an said: "It is still unknown who will live and who will die."

Wu Peifu sneered, "Come on, arrest him for me, and sacrifice his dead brothers." His guards around him were about to take action, but Zhang Kui'an sneered, "It turns out that the legendary General Cao is Wu Ziyu's puppet, it's really true. General Cao, thank you for your hard work. It turns out that this direct army is Wu. What a pity, the Cao family's country is all for Wu. This is called an evil dog killing the master, hahaha."

Wu Peifu said angrily: "What did you say?"

Zhang Kui'an retorted, "The Grand Marshal is here, and he has not said anything yet. You, a subordinate, come uninvited, and brings soldiers and guns. If you know, you come over and kill me. If you don't know, you think you come over and want to kill Marshal Cao and then control the country. Look at your subordinates, when you see Marshal Cao disrespectful to the minimum military salute, they dare to set off with your order. You said Wu Ziyu, if you give the order, these soldiers will shoot Cao Cao and give you a yellow robe?"

The cold sweat suddenly flowed out from Wu Peifu's head. The guards quickly took a step back, which was so embarrassing. Li Junqing beside Cao Kun was also so scared that his face turned pale. Zhang Kui'an was right. Grandma's first hearing Wu Peifu's counselor say to scare Zhang Kui'an, but if he comes to the point of defeat at this time, everyone will die here. Cao Rui, the fourth master with the most anxious temper, immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "Wu Ziyu, what do you mean? Do you want to rebel?"

Wu Peifu also knew Zhang Kui'an's power. It turned out that he could really talk about death. He was quick-witted and immediately laughed and waved his hand: "People say that Wang Maoru's first person can speak lotus flowers and say that the living people are unparalleled in the country. Zhang Dingguo is indeed so. I just tried it just now, and it was worthy of reputation and reputation, so let's retreat." The guards immediately retreated.

Cao Kun smiled aside and said, "Zi Yu is my confidant, I don't doubt him. Come on, let's meet, Zi Yu, why are you late?"

Wu Peifu hurriedly said, "I'm busy with business, so I offended you so much."

Cao Rui sat down and muttered, "Who knows if you have a second heart?" Cao Kun glared at him, and Cao Rui immediately lowered his head.

Zhang Kui'an also seemed to have forgotten the previous scene, and laughed and clasped his fists and said, "I heard about Wu Ziyu's name for a long time. When I see you today, it's really better to meet you than to be famous."

Wu Peifu smiled awkwardly, and Cao Kun pulled him to sit beside him and said, "Come on, come on, come on, come on, how about drinking three cups of sorrow?"

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Come with the host, come on."

Cao Kun's aide immediately said: "Everyone said that the foreigners in the pass are generous and enjoyable. Unexpectedly, Mr. Dingguo is gentle and kind, but he is so brave and so happy. He is truly the best national scholar outside the pass."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "How dare you? I'm just a literary scholar around Xiushuai. There are as many people as strong as me. You are the talents."

After chatting for a while, Wu Peifu said: "Brother Dingguo, the north means national peace, which is what we want. However, the Anfu Congress plays with people's wisdom and does not disband the Congress. This civil war will start sooner or later."

Zhang Kui'an looked at the others, all looking at him, and then waited for his statement. He smiled and whispered: "You are thinking about it, and Xiushuai. If you are the corresponding Xiushuai, all your wishes will be fulfilled in the future." He signaled that everyone would go out with the drinker. Li Junqing waved his hand, and the bells left consciously, leaving behind a few direct confidants here.

Li Yanqing said: "Tell me how Xiushuai arranged for my grandmaster."

This is the key point. Zhang Kui'an said: "The country is stable and needs a strong president." Everyone looked happy.

But Wu Peifu was alert and said, "At least Xiushuai should give her some time."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "The last election was in the seventh year of the Republic of China, and the president was re-elected every four years. The president elected by the Anfu Group was illegal. The next normal election should be in the 11th year of the Republic of China. Please wait."

Several people looked at each other, mainly looking at Cao Kun. Cao Kun smiled and said, "If you are the president, you will have no regrets even if you die." Suddenly, he said, "Sui Shuai should not neglect Ziyu."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Wu Ziyu, how can you neglect the talent of the Legion Commander?"

Wu Peifu thought of the sharp artillery of the Qilin Legion, the planes and airships all over the sky, and the high fighting spirit of the soldiers, which was not inferior to the combat power of his direct elite third division. He couldn't help but admire him. If he had such a legion in his hand, he would definitely defeat the Qilin Legion. He was defeated by Zhao Zengfu, not by tactics, but by equipment morale and money. Wu Peifu asked himself that if his strength was equal, Zhao Zengfu would definitely not be able to beat him. This man was calm but not enterprising. If Zhao Zengfu defended, he would be fine, but if he was allowed to attack, he would be a little short of fire. Wu Peifu was good at attacking but not good at defending, and Zhao Zengfu was good at defending. As a result, when fighting, those who were good at attacking had to defend, and those who were good at defending had to defend, and those who were good at defending instead of attacking. How could Wu Peifu be convinced if he lost.

Cao Kun laughed and said, "Since Xiushuai has made arrangements, we also hope to republic as soon as possible."

Zhang Kui'an suddenly said seriously: "Master Cao, if you support the reform of the army, you should never think about plundering the people's wealth. Soldiers are soldiers, either politicians, politicians or politicians, not soldiers. Military and political separation and do not interfere with each other. You have thought about it, don't be reluctant to give up the interests when it comes to the end, please think more." After that, he sat down and drank on his own. The straight people's faces changed very quickly and their expressions were different, but they were all worried. The reform of the National Defense Forces was to change these warlords who were in conflict with military and political affairs. They either became soldiers or politicians, and not to do **.

Zhang Kui'an was talking about the truth. The reform of the National Defense Force revolved around the separation of military and political affairs and ended the rule of warlords. Therefore, there was no military commander in the jurisdiction of the National Defense Force. Except for Mongolia, there was a governor, but at most he had fifty flag soldiers. When Li Junqing heard this, he was anxious and repeatedly gave Cao Kun a wink. However, Wu Peifu said loudly: "Soldiers put the country first. If they can safeguard the world, why do soldiers directly contact the politics of their hands?" His words offended all the direct troops he was doing. Well, you like to be a pure soldier, but we don't like it. Isn't it just to make money? How can you be safe if you are an official? Cao Rui sneered: "The family business is not yours, so you can naturally bear it."

Wu Peifu said angrily: "Fart!"

Li Yanqing also persuaded: "General Wu, you can't say that."

Cao Kun also said: "Ziyu, sit down, everything is easy to talk about."

Wu Peifu sat down angrily, glared at Cao Rui, and then at Li Yanqing.
