The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Zhang Hanqing understood his considerations: "But we can't see him... Chao Liu is at the front line, it's not easy to call him back, then..."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "It seems that seeing or not seeing is not a big deal."

"Well, Brother Feng, you take Xishun and go meet them in my name. Just make it clear that our supply is blocked by the Zhi army at sea and we dare not move out rashly."

Feng Yong immediately agreed, stood up and went out of the reception room, while Jiang Cheng stood up and walked towards the phone -

These days, he has been waiting for news from outside the Great Wall: the situation in Shandong seems to be getting worse and worse.

Once the war is completely ignited, Hai Pingchuan will not only have to face the offensive of his own father-in-law, but he will also have to shoulder the entire Zhi army on his shoulders.

If the Marshal's Office doesn't order troops to be sent out, there will be no point in doing anything. He must immediately transfer the armored brigade in Shanghai to rush to the aid of Shandong!

No one answered the phone.

"I really believed your lies."

Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and could not help but think viciously - he had been tricked in Mongolia before, and he really thought that the old fox would rush south at lightning speed to fight Cao Saner to the death for the sake of the piece of meat inside the Great Wall.

But now it seems that the old fox has set him up with a second trick.

The rising anger made him turn to Xiao Liuzi. Just as he was facing the other's puzzled gaze, Xu Fushan came in from the coat room: "Master Jiang, someone from the Green Gang is here. He said he sent a letter to you and the young commander!"

Post?

Inevitably his eyes were drawn to that thing, and Jiang Cheng took it casually: he saw that the cover was made of exquisite bright red velvet, and the inside was made of imported dot-matrix paper, with beautiful blue-dyed outlines and writing.

Jiang Cheng smiled immediately after reading it, looked up and told his guards to go out, and called Feng Yong and Xishun back: "Tell them not to meet the Northern Expedition Army for the time being."

Zhang Hanqing hadn't even read the post yet, and asked in confusion, "Why, what's written on it?"

Jiang Cheng handed him the post with both hands:
"The man who came here actually asked you and me to attend the banquet through the Song family... It also says that for the sake of the people, in order to eliminate the civil war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we sincerely invite all parties to gather at the Du Mansion and sit down to have a good chat about 'peace'!"

Zhang Hanqing got angry in an instant: "This is quite interesting! In the middle of a fight, they actually asked us to sit down and talk? There is nothing to talk about."

"And this is too weird. The leader was the Song family, so why did they meet at Du Yuesheng's house?"

Jiang Cheng looked at him and shook his head and smiled: "The Song family is a wealthy business... Businessmen always struggle in the business world with money and contracts; where have they ever seen the real blood and sword?"

"We are soldiers who always keep our heads on the line. If we don't agree with something, we will show our weapons. With Du Yuesheng, a local tyrant, coordinating, we won't end up fighting."

Zhang Hanqing was actually amused by this, but he still asked, "So what you mean is... to invite the Northern Expedition troops as well?"

clever.

Giving him an approving look, Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose with his thumb and smiled slyly.

…………

Two days later, the street in front of the gate of Du Mansion was filled with cars, and a red carpet was laid from the street corner all the way to the marble steps. Almost half of the celebrities in Shanghai were there.

Greeted by the bound feet of the Qing Gang, Jiang Cheng and Feng Yong walked in side by side, immediately attracting the attention of all the guests present.

Everyone knows that Shanghai has been full of tension recently. A big shot from outside the Great Wall has arrived... and a fierce battle for territory has broken out with the local tyrants. But no one had ever thought that the so-called big shots would actually be these two elegant and handsome young generals.

Immediately, the gazes of several celebrities and noble ladies present became ambiguous and yearning.

"Hey, Master Jiang, you're here!"

Accompanied by the housekeeper, Du Yuesheng ran forward in small steps, "I knew you were coming - I didn't come to greet you. It's a sin, a sin!"

Looking around at the sudden silence, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Du is really very popular... I'm afraid all the important people in Shanghai have come to show their support for you, right?"

Du Yuesheng didn't know why he was like that, and said with great fear and trepidation: "Oh, it's all because of the Green Gang's little face. Everyone has wronged me... Please, please!"

Du Yuesheng was not present when the Fengtian Army landed at the port that day. He mistook Feng Yong for the young marshal and escorted them up the stairs with a fawning expression.

At this time, in the newly decorated hall, the long table was covered with brand new red velvet cloth, and snacks, tea, wine and delicious food were all available... There were also dozens of charming young girls wearing high-slit cheongsams serving on both sides.

Damn it, we're here to negotiate, why are you messing with these women?
Jiang Cheng was a little unhappy, but when he glanced at the long table, he immediately understood Du Yuesheng's intention.

There were already people waiting here: people from the Song family had arrived, in addition to the third daughter Meiling, there was also Ji Yunfan, a confidant of the Song family.

In addition, Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin also arrived early... The two guys had been staring at those beauties, and when they saw Jiang Cheng coming, they stood up at the same time to greet him.

With these women around, not only will the atmosphere not be dull, but the men will also be more relaxed as they are served by pairs of delicate hands.

"Why, Mr. Wu hasn't arrived yet?"

Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to sit down, but instead looked over the scene coldly, "I'm very busy, and I don't have time to wait for anyone."

What he meant at the moment was that if the other party in the negotiation was not sincere, he would not wait any longer.

"General Jiang, you might as well sit down first!"

Meiling suddenly stood up and said to Jiang Cheng very boldly, "As the saying goes, good food is never too late. Please be patient and have a couple of cups of tea to relieve your fatigue."

Surprised by her overly bold statement, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look at her a few more times——

No wonder Zhang Hanqing was also attracted to her. She had an outstanding appearance and was graceful and elegant. The umber dress was not only luxurious, but also made her look more radiant and charming.

"Miss Song, we meet again."

Jiang Cheng was polite to her and sat down opposite her. "Since you asked me to stay, I will sit for a while."

The woman on the other side avoided his burning gaze, and the scene suddenly became a little cold. With the light of the crystal lamp above his head, Jiang Cheng continued to examine her and smiled: "Miss Song is really a heroine——"

"For an occasion like this, with your status... you don't have to come in person."

Before she could even start, Ji Yunfan at the side immediately took over the conversation and said, "Originally, my master was going to be there, but he suddenly became unwell. He also thought that since he was the lead in this mediation, it would be rude if someone from my family didn't come."

"After thinking about it, my daughter has attended many events on behalf of her father and is well versed in social etiquette. She will attend on behalf of the master..."

"If I have been disrespectful, please forgive me, General Jiang." (End of this chapter)
