Yan Zhiguo tried his best to persuade the world about the simple truth of the wolf's ambition.
Judging from the feedback from the warlords of the Northern Feng Sect, it was truly a little disappointing.
Fortunately, Yan Zhiguo didn't pay attention to what was happening outside and let them fight among themselves.
No one cared about his sincerity, and the young man did not force it. It was just that the innocent people had suffered, and they were going to suffer an undeserved disaster.
After the government of the Republic of China established Nanjin as their capital, they received strong support from the United Kingdom and the United States. The second Northern Expedition, the National Army, advanced all the way forward and quickly invaded the gates of Shandu.
Zhang Zhongchang was scared out of his wits. Ignoring Yan Zhiguo's reminder, he immediately called his Chief of Staff to the East Ocean Continent to seek help.
After the Japanese 6th Division Commander Fukuda Hikosuke had occupied Tsingtao, he was worried that he would not have an excuse to invade Tsinan. Now that he saw Zhang Zhongchang coming to move his troops, he promised to drive away the Northern Expedition Army.
Zhang Zhongchang was worthy of the title of "Dog Meat General". Seeing that his territory was in danger, he agreed without hesitation.
Fukuda Hikosuke received orders from Prime Minister Tanaka Ichiyoshi and led his army to attack Qinan, occupying the newspaper office, hospital, and other places. He even used sandbags to build a fortress to prevent the Chinese from approaching.
General Dog Meat didn't know about the Japanese's wild ambitions. Instead, he thought that they were loyal and friends, so he held a banquet to entertain the Japanese and even called his wife.
Zhang Zhongchang raised his wine glass, his face glowing.
"Mr. Fukuda, I, Zhang, thank the Japanese Empire for their righteousness!”
Fukuda Hikosuke squinted his dead fish eyes, his eyes never moving away from Zhang Zhongchang's fourth aunt.
Zhang Zhongchang turned a blind eye, he dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
Just as they were full of food and wine, they suddenly heard a shocking news. The Chief of Staff came forward to report that the Northern Expedition Army of the Republic of China had already attacked the gates of Qi Nan and cut off the Jiaoqi railway.
Zhang Zhongchang had a mouthful of hard liquor stuck in his throat, and he couldn't stop coughing. He quickly looked at Fukuda Hikosuke,
"Mr. Fukuda, please leave immediately! Stop these thieves!"
Fukuda unwillingly pulled back the guard that was placed on Fourth Aunt's waist. He rolled his eyes and said in a very rude manner,
"The Empire is only helping you, my friend, to tide over this crisis! We won't interfere in China's internal affairs!"
Zhang Zhongchang's expression was gloomy and uncertain, looking even uglier than eating shit. He tried to dissuade him several times, but to no avail. He could only end the banquet in a hurry and return home.
Sitting in the headquarters, General Dog Meat's thoughts were in a mess. After a long time, he roared with indignation,
The Chief of Staff looked at Zhang Zhongchang reciting the "Song of Gale", which he had written himself, and he could not help but smile bitterly.
"Commander! Stop sighing! Hurry up and think of a way!"
"Do you think we should believe that young man?"
The Chief of Staff felt as if he had knocked over five bottles. He was very complicated. He naturally knew that the young man Zhang Zhongchang was talking about was the West City Young Marshal who had visited him a few days ago, but it was too late to regret now.
Zhang Zhongchang put away his messy mood and packed up his gold and silver treasures. He took his fourth concubine and fled overnight. A few days later, the Northern Expedition Army officially occupied Qi Nan.
In the living room of Yan's residence, the marshal's face was filled with worry.
Hearing his father's sigh, Yan Zhiguo gently comforted him,
"Logically speaking, Father shouldn't have dragged you in so early. Sigh! I didn't expect my son to be so promising! You've managed the West District better than me!”
The young man smiled and waved his hand, extremely humble. The marshal paused for a moment before continuing,
"Why so sudden?"
"Brat, last time, you let Yang Aiyuan lead an army of 50,000 and march all the way into Qi Nan, scaring that dogshit Zhang Zhongchang's warlord out of his wits. Do you think you can hide this from me?”
The young man's eyes were strange, and his old face blushed.
"This happened too suddenly! Besides, we were all walking on the undefended rural road. I only found out about it after I left the mountain capital."
The marshal gulped down a mouthful of tea in annoyance, his tone filled with disdain.
Yan Zhiguo nodded and didn't answer. The marshal's tone softened and he said with some blame,
"Son! I've never seen such a precious son like you! Your younger brothers and sisters are still young. Even if they grow up in the future, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything! The responsibility on your shoulders is heavy! Don't be impulsive!"
"Son, listen up!"
The marshal laughed loudly and patted his son's shoulder, feeling extremely gratified.
"This is the son of my Yan family! From today onwards, you will report to Yang Aiyuan and temporarily lead the First Army with him!”
