Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

Chapter 126: The Central Army needs to be mobilized. I’m going to ask my mother for help!

The largest office in the headquarters of the Guangxi Provincial Government was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Bai Jiansheng, when people call you Little Zhuge, do you think they're praising you? Damn, they're mocking you. You're only clever, not wise.

Damn it! Nanjing insider reports: Bai Zhanghui's adjutant is missing. Wang Jialie asked us for one million yuan. Is he asking for money? Is he testing our support?

Damn it, why don’t you arrange for someone to deliver the money?

Also, I personally drafted the Pingnan deployment, and I strictly ordered the 44th Division not to cross the river...

I often tell you to learn more about politics, but you just won't! If you don't understand, don't give orders blindly.

Xu Shengze asked for 10 yuan a day. That's just an exorbitant price. He's just waiting for us to pay him back.

I sent the bandits there just to see who would come to Pingnan's rescue? To see where Xu Shengze really stood. If he truly wanted to carve out his own territory, he wouldn't have asked Old Chang for help. He would have offered us a lower price.

You've ruined a good hand of cards. Damn it, now someone has caught us with something. They have Wang Zhijie in their hands. If he sends him to Nanjing, we will be completely passive. In order to show our attitude and avoid suspicion, we have to give up the entire Guizhou Province directly, and even pay a higher price.

You are really more of a hindrance than a help!"

Bai Jiansheng was still very unconvinced and said stubbornly with his neck stretched out.

"Brother, Xu Shengze is definitely Lao Chang's man. He was just acting for us. I just can't understand why it was wrong for me to take over Pingnan by taking advantage of their tricks?"

"You're not wrong?

Okay! Even if you're right, and Xu Shengze is Lao Chang's subordinate, think about it: why would Lao Chang raise such a new warlord between Guizhou and Guangxi? It's clearly bait, and it's tempting. But if we devour Pingnan without a legitimate reason, what will the Yunnan and Sichuan cliques, as well as Wang Jialie, think of us?

This is Old Chang's conspiracy. She is using Xu Shengze to make my Guangxi clique the target of public criticism in the southwest!"

This? Bai Jiansheng was stunned. He hadn't expected this, and his momentum was obviously weakened.

"Then didn't I ask the 44th Division to disguise themselves as bandits? Besides, you can't blame me if Wang Zhijie gets caught!"

General Li was furious. If they hadn't been discovered, it would have been a cover-up. Now that Pingnan had discovered it, it was like trying to cover up the truth. Alas! That report had already pointed out the 44th Division, and they had their numbers. They must have other evidence too!

Passive, really fucking passive.

But he suppressed his anger. This old brother of his had been with him for many years...

"Jiansheng, I was unsure about Xu Shengze's background. Alas! He didn't hand Wang Zhijie over to Nanjing, but instead sent a notice. That's pretty clear.

If you look back, Pingnan used a plague to force Nanjing not to dare to remove him from his post. Although the method was crude, it was very effective. After he was removed, no one dared to take over his position?

This is enough to prove that Xu Shengze and Nanjing are not on the same page, and I can use them to my advantage!"

"Tsk! What use can a small person have!"

"Oh! Someone is standing in front to oppose Chang'e. All we have to do is wave the flag and shout..."

At this time, the adjutant knocked on the door and came in.

"Report! Intelligence Department reports, 25th Army insider urgent message, Nanjing promoted Wang Jialie to Lieutenant General..."

"What?" General Li stood up suddenly!

Oh no! Nan Jing's soothing actions were so quick. It was obvious that Wang Jialie was leaning towards Nan Jing. He couldn't help but glare at Bai Jiansheng again. This is all your fault. There are only two hours left until midnight...

"Quick! Send a telegram to Wang Jialie. Guangxi Province is willing to provide 100 million yuan and necessary weapons, and they must be delivered to Linfengdu before dark today!

Also, Jiansheng, immediately order the 44th Division to withdraw to the south bank! Bandits, continue the attack!

"Ah? Big brother, Sun Shuming reported that bandits alone can't take Pingnan! We might as well retreat together!"

"Hmph! If we withdraw the bandits as well, wouldn't that be a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt? We should act convincingly and let Sun Shuming maintain the necessary attacking power to give Xu Shengze a hard time.

In addition, send someone to deliver secret codes to Pingnan, keep in touch, and show more goodwill. In case Wang Jialie does not rely on us, we also have backup candidates!

Humph! I just don’t believe that a man of both literary and martial arts can’t take down Xu Shengze!

"Will Xu Shengze become desperate and do something desperate?"

"He won't! He's smart and he knows what's best for him!"

---------------

At noon, at the headquarters of the 25th Army, the table was filled with food, and several people were sitting around the table feasting.

Lai Xi was still wolfing down his food. Wang Jialie liked to chew his food slowly, and he had unknowingly been tempted into eating faster. As his mood improved, his appetite naturally improved. He glanced at Xu Shengze who was holding a bowl of rice in front of the map.

This guy was truly a master of strategy. Everyone could use the art of playing both sides, but his ability to grasp the timing so perfectly was extremely rare. Not only did he cause the Nanjing clique and the Guangxi clique to actively compete for his coveted position, but he also resolved the crisis in Pingnan, buying much-needed time.

The telegram from Nanjing arrived, and Wang Jialie no longer cared about the empty title of Lieutenant General. But what made him happy was that the shoulder straps were replaced by Xu Shengze himself. Hehe! Now, the value of this Lieutenant General was different.

I can't count on the money from Nanjing, it's probably just a blank check, but the Guangxi clique will probably pay it, haha! Now Shengze has to beg me again!

Eh? When did I start arguing with this young man? Who cares! Anyway, I'm happy now. Very happy!

But to be honest, although Pingnan looks weak, it is actually not weak at all. It took only a few hours to capture the undercover personnel of the Guangxi clique. It is incredible that there are lie detectors in this world.

"Shengze, there's something I don't understand. Why didn't you let Jin Feng interrogate those undercover personnel, but instead assigned them to the 25th Army's Intelligence Department?"

The Intelligence Department reported that it was they who carried out the torture. I heard that the electric chair was provided by Pingnan.

Xu Zhenhua was looking at the map and answered subconsciously.

"There's nothing we can do! Jin Feng and I both have tight headbands on our heads! Torture and forced confessions violate the organization's principles, so you're the only one who can do this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhenhua realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw a pair of angry eyes in front of him. He immediately waved his hands and begged for mercy.

"Hey hey hey! Lao Wang, we can't be impatient. Well, well, the organization has a rule that any minor mistakes you made before you officially join will be forgiven!"

"Really?" Wang Jialie didn't believe it at all. He had seen with his own eyes how good this guy was at cheating people. He had even cheated the pants off Nanjing and the Guangxi clique!

"Really! I learned this from my boss! He taught me step by step. Um! My boss's name is Chen!"

"Ah? Chen from the Three Masters of the Yellow Shop?"

"Yeah!"

The explanation finally calmed Wang Jialie's anger, but he immediately lost his composure again.

"Actually, Lao Wang, I don't really want the 25th Army to join the organization. I plan to form an overseas corps..."

"What?"

...

After lunch, the plane slowly took off from the temporary helipad outside the military headquarters and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

Wang Jialie watched Xu Zhenhua leave, feeling confused.

"Old Wang, we need to mobilize the Central Army. I'm going to ask our mother for help!"

Eh? Who is our mom?

Soon, Wang Jialie threw this question out of his mind, and his mind was full of expanding territory and conquering the enemy.

Oh my god! Xu Shengze actually already has a piece of territory in Nanyang, and all of Pingnan’s supplies come from there.

"After this battle, the 25th Army will be reorganized and modernized immediately. One year later, one of the best divisions of the 25th Army will be deployed overseas!"
