"Commander Qian, Commander Xuan, Commander Wang, you're finally here. We've been waiting for a long time.”Before the group of people left the door, they saw the three division commanders of the Sichuan Army and a few unfamiliar faces walk in together. Baldy Jiang took the lead and greeted. As soon as he finished speaking, he shifted his gaze to Liu Feng and the others.
He didn't know who these people were, but he knew that they were probably the main characters of today. However, when he saw Liu Feng's age, he couldn't help but have some doubts. After thinking about it, the bald man suddenly had an enlightened expression, as if he already had the answer.
"It's my fault for being late. Let me introduce you. This is our Sichuan Army's Major!"Qian Qing Quan first made small talk and verbally apologized before turning the topic to Liu Feng and the others. Just as Qian Qing Quan finished speaking, the bald man said,""So this is the famous Young Marshal.”
Seeing this, Liu Feng naturally couldn't remain silent. He replied,""Not at all. I'm just a young kid. I'm not that famous. Commander Jiang, I've heard a lot of rumors about you in Chuanzhong over the years.”
Who didn't know how to say such words? Anyway, Liu Feng just opened his mouth and said it. As for the authenticity of the information, who cared about it at this time? It was fine as long as it sounded good!
"I'm not joking. I've seen Sichuan develop so quickly over the years, and most of the credit goes to the young marshal, right? I'm so envious of Liu Dashuai for having such a tiger!" The bald man said half-probingly and half-sincerely.
He didn't know what Liu Feng had done in recent years. The information of Sichuan Army was too confidential. He didn't have a complete intelligence system, so he couldn't get the exact information. However, he knew Liu Feng a little. Although he was young, he was much more capable than most of the people present. He really envied Liu Xiang, the warlord.
"Commander Jiang, you flatter me. I'm only able to sit in the position of Major because of my father's blessing. I still have to learn more from the commander!”Although Liu Feng was extremely annoyed by such flattery, he would naturally do what he could on the surface.
Finally, Qian Qing Quan, who had some understanding of Liu Feng, stepped forward to interrupt their flattery."Commander Jiang, don't just talk to the young marshal. Don't you need me to introduce these generals? Qian Qing Quan teased.
" Haha, it's my fault. Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Qian," Baldy Jiang laughed and said to Qian Qing Quan.
"This is the commander of the 1st division of our Sichuan army, General Jiang Ni!”Qian Qing Quan pointed at Jiang Yan.
"General Jiang, nice to meet you!" After Qian Qing Quan finished his introduction, the bald man said to Jiang Yan. He knew that this thirty-year-old general in front of him was probably the highest-ranking officer of this army.
He had also mentioned this guy in his intelligence, but he had only mentioned his name and some vague speculations about his position. As for the details, there was no information at all. Now, he finally had the chance to come into contact with this mysterious general.
"The commander of the 1st division of the Sichuan Army, Jiang Yan, greets Commander Jiang! Jiang Yan raised his hand and saluted.
"I've long heard that there's an outstanding talent in the Sichuan Army with the surname Jiang. Today, I've seen that General Jiang is indeed an outstanding talent!" The bald man said half truthfully and half flatteringly.
"Commander, you flatter me!" Jiang Yan replied indifferently. He didn't like this kind of flattery, nor was he good at it. He was more like a hero on the battlefield like Yue Fei in ancient times. In his heart, only fighting on the battlefield was what a soldier should do. As for flattery, he could leave it to the officials of the main residence. This was not something a soldier like him should care about.
Seeing that there was a trend of silence, Qian Qing Quan once again came out to interrupt,""Haha, don't be offended, Commander Jiang. General Jiang has always been like this. Even when we're not chatting in the army, he always has a cold face." At the end of Qian Qing Quan's sentence, he showed a helpless expression.
The bald man thought that Jiang Yao was putting on a face when he saw Jiang Yao's cold face. He smiled and said,""Haha, I see. I thought General Jiang was unhappy because I didn't treat you well enough. It's fine, I like people like General Jiang.”As for how much of it was true, that was unknown.
Seeing this, Qian Qing Quan didn't mind. He was just taking a break. As for the rest, he couldn't be bothered. Although he had learned a lot of polite words during this period of time, he was also a soldier, not a diplomat. He couldn't be bothered to slowly figure out things like people's hearts. He then pointed at an officer behind him and said,""This is the Chief of Staff of the 1st Sichuan Division, Wei Luoxing!”
"Advisor Wei, nice to meet you!" With the previous awkward silence, the baldy didn't want to make small talk anymore. After a simple greeting, he led everyone into the temporary meeting room.
After everyone sat down, the bald man cleared his throat and said,"We have invited all of you here mainly because most of the generals 'reinforcements have already arrived. During this period of time, the Northern Warlords have also been constantly mobilizing their troops in an attempt to stop our northern expedition in order to achieve their goal of continuing to rule and oppress the people.
According to the information I received, Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang have gathered nearly 300,000 troops, and more are gathering quickly. What we need to do now is to strike first before they gather more troops. We need to defeat them before they are fully prepared and destroy their resistance.”
The bald man's words were reasonable and well-founded. Although the main purpose of this meeting was well known, he still had to say this. Moreover, this was not just a formality. After figuring out the Sichuan army, the feasibility of this early attack should be studied together. It would be best if it could be passed. After all, Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang's preparations were not at the peak of their ability. And if he couldn't pass, then he would have to deal with it again!
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. Other than Liu Feng and the others who did not move, everyone could not help but start to analyze the gains and losses. It was true that they were the Northern Expedition Army, but they were also people who had all kinds of interests. The reason why they went north was because their interests were threatened and damaged. If it were not for the Northern Warlords who were pressing them step by step, they would not have sent troops to the Northern Expedition even though they knew that their strength was inferior.
It had to be said that the people who could rise in this chaotic era were not ordinary people. Since ancient times, heroes had emerged in troubled times. This saying had never been wrong. On the other hand, in troubled times, all kinds of powerful people would also appear.
These people were all smart people. No one would let anyone be cannon fodder! Therefore, they had to think about it carefully before attacking the Northern Warlords…
