The cooks employed in Commander Zhang Zuolin's Mansion are certainly not ordinary people, and their skills are particularly good. The dishes on the table are all delicious, delicious, and even the former Qing Prince's Mansion is just like this. However, Yang Du is full of words in his heart now.

He was not in the mood to enjoy the delicious food, but facing Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuofeng's hospitality, it was not easy to displease the host on such an occasion, so he could only suppress his thoughts and chat and laugh with Zhang Zuolin.

The meal lasted from the evening until nine o'clock at night, and it was finally over. However, seeing that Zhang Zuolin was already staggering and talking with a loud tongue, and that he had drunk too much, Yang Du had no choice but to return to his residence temporarily.

, planning to talk about business the next day.

"Brother Qi, what are you...?"

When Yang Du returned to the small courtyard, Zhang Zuolin, who had been drunk and hazy just before, suddenly became energetic. Except for the smell of alcohol in his mouth, he did not look at all drunk. Zhang Zuolin, who had acted with him for a night, was now full of energy.

Feeling puzzled, he closed the door, scratched his head and asked doubtfully.

Waving his hand, Zhang Zuolin did not answer immediately. Instead, he took a cup of tea from the table and took a sip: "Lao Qi. Who did this Yang Xizi come for? What did he come to Fengtian for? In fact, I know very well. I deliberately dried it first today.

If he invites you to a banquet soon, he will naturally have my idea."

Zhang Zuoxiang was puzzled. Who was behind Yang Du? What was he doing in Fengtian? Why did Zhang Zuolin arrange it like this if he knew it? What was his idea? What was going on?

Seeing Zhang Zuoxiang and the second monk looking confused, Zhang Zuolin smiled and raised his hand to point to Yang Du's collapsed courtyard: "This Yang Xizi was originally a member of the president, but now he has followed Fang Zida. He has suddenly become Fang Zida.

The red man in front of me came to Fengtian for two reasons. The first one was to talk to me on orders from Fang Zida, and he wanted to extend his tentacles to our northeast. The second thing was that he probably wanted to take advantage of the Japanese retreat this time to win over.

Lao Tzu.”

"This..." Zhang Zuoxiang frowned and pondered for a while before he suddenly realized.

"Brother Qi, are you going to fool Yang Xizi like this for a few days and then send him back to Beijing?"

"Haha, what do you think?" Zhang Zuolin asked with a smile.

Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't guess Zhang Zuolin's real thoughts for a while. In his opinion, Fang Zida was now very powerful. Although Yang Du was just a counselor, he was different from ordinary people after all. Not to mention that he was Yuan Shikai's think tank and had an old relationship with Zhang Zuolin.

, just come to Fengtian as Fang Zida’s representative now, so it’s not too offensive. Although Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang and others have never

I have dealt with Fang Zida before. But I have long known the name of Yuan Shikai's son-in-law, KMT director, central bank president, and deputy finance minister. I also know a few things about Fang Zida's early years in the south.

It's very interesting that for such a new political star and a very popular figure in various factions, it's better not to offend him as much as possible.

From Zhang Zuoxiang's point of view, Zhang Zuolin seemed to not want to offend Yang Du and Fang Zida, who was behind Yang Du, and at the same time, he did not want to give up his foundation and make Fang Zida reach out to the Northeast. It was out of such considerations that Zhang Zuolin did this deliberately.

He tentatively asked Zhang Zuolin for confirmation of his guess, but Zhang Zuolin burst out laughing and shook his head.

"Old man, old man, your vision is still too shallow! If I really think so, why do I need to do this?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin said this. Just when Zhang Zuoxiang was puzzled, Zhang Zuolin

His mystery was finally revealed.

"It is said that the president's time is short. When the president passes away, there will be very few people who can succeed him. As far as you and I are concerned, it is best for Enshuai to succeed him. But although Enshuai has the qualifications, Enshuai is not the best person."

One has no financial power, and the other has no gun. If they want to fight, they can't fight against Duan. Feng and others, but if they give in to Duan, Feng and others can't win.

When they get the upper hand, don't say that they already have conflicts and don't give in. Even if the two sides reach an agreement, I'm afraid kmt and others will not agree. I think that this Fang Zida has both sides, money, money, soldiers, and Wu Ziyu under his command.

Waiting for the general, the future is bright! Given time, he will definitely be able to take charge of the center."

"In this case, Brother Qi, why do you...?"

"Haha, you and I are our own brothers, and there are no outsiders here, so I won't say any clichés. Whether Fang Zida wants to extend his hands to the Northeast or wants to win over me for help, this is not a bad thing for you and me brothers.

.Now under the impeccable defense of our army, the Japanese are in a dilemma and can only retreat in despair. This incident has made our 27th Army famous throughout the world. To put it bluntly, I am now the pillar of the country and a national hero!

Since he is a pillar and a hero, can Yang Xizi be won over by just a few words? Who is Fang Zida behind him? Brother! Don't forget that he is the president and deputy finance minister of the Central Bank! He holds the whole country's money bag.

, also in charge of military industry, machinery, manufacturing... Even if you pluck out the hair on your legs, they are thicker than my waist. How can such a good business be done without caution? No matter what, you have to let the buyer have a taste of it before you can sell it.

It’s a high price.”

Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes widened as he listened. He had been thinking about this for a long time. He followed Zhang Zuolin's words and thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Who would a military leader with a beard like them want to take refuge in?

Let’s go with whoever offers the most benefits. Since Fang Zida can send Yang Du to Fengtian, we have to negotiate good terms no matter what, right?

"High! Brother Qi is really tall!" Zhang Zuoxiang became more and more impressed the more he thought about it. He gave a thumbs up and said with conviction. No wonder Zhang Zuolin can be a commander and can only be a junior. It turns out that there are so many twists and turns in a simple thing.

Damn it, Zhang Zuolin thought it through!

At that moment, Zhang Zuoxiang, who was so excited, couldn't help but discuss with Zhang Zuolin how to sell himself at a good price. The two brothers closed the door and talked to each other. They didn't feel sleepy at all in the middle of the night. The more they discussed, the brighter their faces became.

, in high spirits.

Yang Du had no idea about the conversation between Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang, and he had no idea that his coming to Fengtian would cause Zhang Zuolin such a misunderstanding. If Yang Du now understood what Zhang Zuolin was thinking, he would probably laugh or cry. Even Fang Zida couldn't imagine it.

Come on, Zhang Zuolin actually thought of so many things after he sent Yang Du on such a trip.

The next day, Yang Du got up early. Who would have thought that when he asked the accompanying officer to see Zhang Zuolin, the answer he received was that Zhang Zuolin had gone to the barracks first. When he asked Zhang Zuolin when he would be back, the other party said that he would probably come back.

In the afternoon, Yang Du had no choice but to wait in the Marshal's Mansion. He sat there until three o'clock in the afternoon and still didn't see Zhang Zuolin. Yang Du was a little anxious and walked around the room. When he asked the people below, they all couldn't answer the questions. He was so angry.

Yang Du's face turned pale.

It was not until around eight o'clock in the night that Zhang Zuolin finally came back. After learning the news, Yang Du hurriedly walked to the front yard. Before he reached the entrance of the yard, an officer stopped him.

"Mr. Yang, the commander is tired today. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Get out of the way!" Yang Du is a scholar. Scholars all have bad tempers, and he is no exception. It has been the second day since he arrived in Fengtian, and tonight will be the third day. Yang Du came to Fengtian for a big event, who would have thought that this Zuolin

He actually didn't take him seriously. As smart as Yang Du was, he felt something was wrong when he waited like this today, but he couldn't figure out what Zhang Zuolin meant. He finally waited until he returned home, but who knew he was stopped outside by the guards again, and he was so angry

Yang Du's nose was crooked.

"Mr. Yang, the commander-in-chief said..." Due to Zhang Zuolin's instructions, although Yang Du's tone was not good, the guard still looked pleasant, but his raised hand showed no intention of lowering it.

"Get out of here!"

Suddenly, Yang Du roared angrily, pushed the guard away with all his strength, and strode in.

"Zhang Zuolin! Zhang Yuting! Come out here!"

"Mr. Yang..." Yang Du was so frightened that the guard's face turned pale. Zhang Zuolin's temper was known to all, and if he was blamed, it would be easy for him to be beaten with a military stick.

"Zhang Zuolin! Zhang Yuting! Come out!"

Although Yang Du was a scholar, his temper was not easy to offend. He strode in without even looking at the guards who tried to stop him.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Du entered the front yard. Before he could go through the houses to find Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to show his face.

"Brother Xizi! Haha, hahaha! Why are you so angry? Is it because I, Lao Zhang, didn't entertain you well? If so, Lao Zhang wouldn't be here to accompany you." Zhang Zuolin was seen walking away from a side room.

When I came out, I had changed into casual clothes and looked at

It seemed that he was about to go to bed and rest. He walked to Yang Du in a few steps and reached out to grab Yang Du's hand. He kept saying that he was not the one and explained that it was an unlucky day. There happened to be something in the barracks that had to be dealt with, so he was neglecting it.

Yang Du also asked him not to blame.

Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Yang Du's anger gradually subsided due to Zhang Zuolin's gesture. Seeing that Yang Du stopped yelling, Zhang Zuolin took his hand and invited him to sit in the room. Yang Du was not polite, nodded and walked into the room.

.

"You, Marshal Zhang, are really busy with military affairs!" Yang Du snorted after he entered the room and sat down, waiting for tea. After the guards retreated, Yang Du snorted.

Zhang Zuolin laughed out loud in embarrassment and said a few words of apology. Yang Du didn't wait for him to finish, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not mention other things for now. Yang came to Fengtian for important matters."

"Oh, I, Lao Zhang, are all ears." Zhang Zuolin said with a smile, proudly guessing what Yang Du would say, and at the same time thinking about how to get the most benefit from such an answer.

Yang Du first took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Zuolin. While Zhang Zuolin was reading the letter, he mentioned Fang Zida's worries and the purpose of coming to Fengtian.

"That's wrong...how is it possible...?" Zhang Zuolin read the letter and listened to Yang Du's words, frowning and muttering to himself. This matter was not at all like what he originally imagined. After a long time, Yang Du came to Fengtian.

He actually came here for the sake of the Japanese, which made Zhang Zuolin in a daze and disappointed.

"...This is what it is...What do you think? Yuting! Yuting!" After Yang Du finished explaining, he asked Zhang Zuolin, and when he saw his stunned look, he called him twice strangely.

"Haha, are Enshuai and Brother Zhangming worrying too much? According to Lao Zhang, the Japanese in the south have boarded the ships and withdrawn their troops, and there is no way they can attack us again."

"The war cannot be relaxed until all the Japanese are evacuated. Brother Yuting, don't be careless!"

"Okay! I know about this. I will send an order tomorrow so that all the little boys with little faces will open their eyes wide to prevent the little Japanese from trying to counterattack." Zhang Zuolin agreed readily, and Yang Du finally let go after seeing this.

Heart, a smile appeared on the face. And this

At this time, Zhang Zuolin cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Is this Fang Zida sick? What the hell is he worried about when little Japan has run away? It's such a big deal that Yang Du came to visit, causing me to make a mistake.

You have lost your mind!" (To be continued...)
