The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 293 A Steel Plate
Only then did everyone come to their senses and denounce the shamelessness of the Zhi army to Marshal Zhang.

In fact, Jiang Cheng didn't really think so much before diverting the conflict of "marriage".

Now he felt a little scared: if he, Marshal Zhang, did not mediate like he did in Siping, they would never be able to escape from Luanzhou unscathed.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

This was not the first time that Jiang Cheng had experienced this, but this time the experience was clearly too profound.

"Master, now that the marriage has been finalized, I think our next step should be to have the best of both worlds."

Jiang Cheng continued boldly, "You once mentioned to Han Qing and me that the water inside the pass is deep, muddy, and smelly."

"Now is definitely not the time for us to get involved in a power struggle with them... Xiao Xu is still in Fengtian, we might as well use his relationship to ask General Duan to give us more benefits."

At this time, Zhang Hanqing, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally found a suitable opportunity to speak:
"Dad, Mao Chen mentioned before: Our Fengtian Army has its roots outside the Great Wall. Regardless of whether it has any connection with the capital or other places, it is most important for us to stabilize the rear area."

Marshal Zhang's right hand suddenly stopped.

Jiang Cheng understood that Guo Maochen was arrogant because of his talent in the Military Academy and had put the officers of the Academy in danger twice in a row, which was a serious violation of Lao Zhang's taboo.

Now he is willing to allow him to lead the guard brigade together with his own little six sons, which is definitely considered to be tolerant and generous.

Jiang Cheng saw his disgust.

"Hey hey hey..."

Unexpectedly, the old fox actually shook his head and laughed in a low voice, "It seems that I did the right thing in running the Military Academy!"

"Sixth son, from now on, you and your Maochen will be in charge of the guard brigade, and I will feel more at ease!"

After saying this, the Marshal pushed the table and stood up, "Cao San'er Wu Xiucai is trying to sow discord between us. Do we really have to take advantage of his loophole?"

"Since he's plotting, shouldn't we make him lose both his wife and his army? At the very least, he should lose his daughter, haha!"

At this point, the Marshal raised his right hand and pointed at Zhang Zuoxiang, "Uncle, I'll leave the matter to you!"

"The boy from the Hai family will become sworn brothers with Liuzi from now on... Miss Cao is also chosen by you young people. Isn't it a free love?"

"Okay, let's leave it at that - after this half-day wedding is over, I'll give you the medicine according to the old prescription!"

"We should set our sights on targeting that General Zanhua!"

He has been named, and now the bridgehead to deal with Jilin is not his Siping?
"Don't worry, handsome man."

Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly stood up straight, "My second brother, Feilan and I will stabilize this matter as soon as possible!"

…………

The focus of the following meeting shifted from the situation inside the Great Wall to the situation outside the Great Wall.

Even though the two families inside the Great Wall kept extending olive branches to the Marshal, he remained calm and had no intention of entering the Great Wall.

Cao Kun was extremely anxious, and Xu Shuzheng, who was in the Fengtian Army's General Staff, was even more anxious.

Especially this time when Feng Delin suffered a terrible misfortune when he entered the pass, Marshal Zhang was more determined not to send the main force into the pass to fight before stabilizing the Northeast.

So at this moment...the confrontation in Jilin has become the focus of all attention.

The troops left by Feng Delin were naturally reorganized, except for Zhang Haipeng's detachment, which was taken over by Zhang Jinghui.
The rest of the troops were directly divided into two by Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang - and Jiang Cheng was currently under Zhang Zuoxiang's command, so the main force of the 28th Division would almost all be incorporated into Siping. After all, Zhang Zuoxiang was not only in charge of the 27th Division's acting work, but was also the chief of the Fengtian Guards... He really couldn't spare the time to manage this divided army.

Besides, in addition to the lack of manpower, there is another reason for letting Jiang Cheng take over the main force:
Siping is the bridgehead for the march into Jilin.

Liaoyuan has been lost. If we don't send more troops to Siping, the Marshal will not be able to sleep at night.

"Jiang Feilan, you have a bright future!"

As soon as he walked out of the study in the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Jinghui quickly passed by Wu Junsheng and Zhang Hanqing who were walking side by side, and got ahead of Zhang Zuoxiang and walked side by side with Jiang Cheng.

Hearing the old sly man's words, Jiang Cheng waved his hands and smiled innocently, "Uncle Zhang, of course, is praising his son-in-law in front of me, the father-in-law, right?"

You are hiding a needle in cotton, so I will hide a piece of steel plate in the cotton for you.

Among the old-school people, Zhang Zuoxiang has always been a gentle and kind person. He was about to say something to smooth things over, but his fifth brother spoke much faster: "Oh, of course this is a compliment to you--"

"Seventh brother, are you lucky or smart? You caught such a son-in-law in no time..."

"I don't have a suitable daughter, otherwise how could I let you go first? Well, I think the credit for Jilin in the future will belong to you two!"

"As for me, I'd better not cause any more trouble and go back to Jinzhou as soon as possible."

After saying this, Zhang Zuoxiang, who was smiling apologetically, patted his shoulder, clasped his hands behind his back and walked away.

The more he listened to his words, the more sinister they seemed. Thinking that this old man would become a traitor who would follow the Kwantung Army in the future, Jiang Cheng was so angry that he was about to say something unpleasant to him, but unexpectedly Zhang Zuoxiang pulled him back:

"Alright Feilan, let's quickly discuss what to do about the marriage."

After all, she is the daughter of the assistant commander, and her background is different from that of Cai Chanjuan;

Although the Zhang and Jiang families are considered to be well matched, in terms of closeness, Zhang Tingxue married down.

After Jiang Lanxuan knew about this, he tried his best to bring them together. After all, it would be of great benefit to consolidating the family's power.

But what Jiang Cheng was worried about at the moment was Cai Chanjuan - Chengye was just a hundred days old, and as a father he had hardly raised him, but suddenly remarrying would inevitably cause criticism from the Cai family.

Don’t be fooled by what books say is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but in reality, especially when the mother’s family has vested interests involved, it is still quite troublesome.

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with my family. Besides... Feilan is still thinking about Xiaojuan."

When talking about his wife at home, Zhang Zuoxiang changed his good-natured attitude and rolled his eyes and said, "Why, are you afraid that your wife will be unhappy or what?"

"Why are you being so vague? Isn't it normal to have several wives? Besides, you've seen my daughter. She's the best in terms of talent, character and appearance."

"Yes, listen to me, kid. Once you get married, the worst you can do is to imitate Ehuang and Nvying. If you want to make Xue'er your concubine, I will kill you!"

Well, the Cai family wants to cut me off, but you are even more ruthless in protecting your child, you might as well kill me!
I got a wife in the fucking Republic of China, and it brought safety to my life... It's not like I'm risking my life to marry a wife!

"Oh, I see."

Although Jiang Cheng is full of tricks when it comes to charging into battle and stabbing people from behind, his personal relationship is his absolute weakness.
