    A big man with a big heart.  A broad mind will last long.  Cao Kun originally had such a character, but after sitting in the position of president for a long time, he became more and more aware of how precious the word stability is.  Precisely because of its preciousness, he deeply felt the sense of crisis.  The dangerous political environment of the Republic of China is such that it is not possible for ordinary people to get along well in the political arena.  There are a bunch of frontier officials below who are thinking about separatist areas all day long, and at least they are doing it blatantly by intercepting taxes.  It is even more common to sell one's official position and win titles. Anyway, Cao Kun felt that this was not a mistake and was a good way to make money.  But when more and more uncontrollable things happened in front of his eyes, Cao Kun was afraid!  "In fact, it is the same as being an emperor. The one sitting in the Jinluan Palace is the emperor, and those below are just salted fish. They will never be able to stand up again in this life.  Cao Kun didn't think fast enough, but he had time!  He had a lot of time to waste, and even if he thought about it all day long, it would be enough for him to understand something.  For example, let¡¯s take the old opponent Zi Qirui!  In fact, in Cao Kun's heart, he always felt that Duan Qirui was much smarter than him.  But even if Duan Qirui is smarter than him, after the "Wan Clan" withdraws from Yanjing, there will never be a chance to regain its former glory.  Even if Zhang Zuolin had the last laugh in the final battle with the Zhili clique, the question is, Zhang Zuolin has so many generals who want to reward him, how much of the cake will he let the 'Wan clique' share?  The best way is not to distinguish at all, simply cut off Duan Qirui's thoughts, kick the Anhui clique away, and give Duan Qirui a status.  Only in this way can the interests of Fengjun be guaranteed to the greatest extent.  In the end, Duan Hefei is likely to end up in vain, and his life will not be as stable as it is now.  Cao Kun thought, what if one day he follows Duan Qirui's path This is not his alarmist talk, nor is it unfounded worry. The political arena of the Republic of China went on and off the stage like a revolving door, just like singing a big show, no matter how big the role is,  , and couldn¡¯t stand for long on stage.  Cao Kun also doesn¡¯t think that the ¡®Zhili¡¯ is monolithic and an unshakable rock. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of which he can no longer keep the office of President, what will be waiting for him?  Jail time?  I'm afraid not, and it's even more impossible if the body and head are in different places.  The Beiyang Civil War was started because brothers divided their property unevenly.  He really has no intention of killing anyone, and he is not a life-or-death enemy.  Although Cao Kun is still unsure, if he really wants to compare with his ability, he is probably a little worse than Duan Qirui But if it comes to luck, Duan Qirui will be worse than the men.  When leading troops to fight, Cao Kun would often win the battle inexplicably while marching. What if Duan Qirui had such luck?  Will he step down again?  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Cao Kun said that the most blessed general of the Beiyang Military Government was the second. No one dared to say that he was the first.  But the luckier people are, the more they believe in fate and become more superstitious.  That's why Cao Kun built the ancestral hall with great fanfare. He firmly believed that his ancestors would bless him at the critical moment.  When Cao Kun was young, he didn't believe in fate. He had clay legs, but he was not considered a clay leg. His first job was as a salesman. He was a grassroots among grassroots. He didn't even have the capital to open a store. Let alone open a store, he just set up a stall.  There is no money to pay taxes.  At that time, Cao Kun felt that his life was in danger, so he had to give it a try and earn a future. If he was unlucky, he might as well die.  With this thought, he became a soldier.  But now, he is the president.  Luck, this word has been deeply ingrained in his mind and has become a part of his life.  From the day he became president, he felt he was down on his luck.  That's right, the downhill road didn't feel that scary at first.  But when the speed gets faster and faster and he can't stop at all, he realizes that he is in danger of being shattered into pieces.  Now, it is precisely when this sense of crisis is at its deepest.  Less than three hundred miles away from Yanjing, the two factions of the Zhili and Fengjun factions formed their own formations and started fighting.  But at this critical moment, Qi Xieyuan hooked up with the Japanese, and the news reached him.  This is not a good sign, but at this time of seeking stability, the third division that can easily kill Qi Xieyuan is transferred from Shandong. If something goes wrong, it will be like playing with fire in the house and setting yourself on fire.  !  Cao Kun suggested nervously: "Brother Ziyu, can you let Shijie lead the troops to suppress it now?" "It's too early." As Cao Kun's right-hand man, he is actually the most powerful person in the direct line, Wu Peifu wants to play the role  Another role is to convince Cao Kun.  It's not considered persuading, it's just breaking it apart and crumbling it, and telling Cao Kun his thoughts to reassure the other party.  Under normal circumstances, Cao Kun would not ask, but if he really had to ask, it meant that Cao Kun was already panicking.  Regarding Qi Xieyuan, Wu Peifu was conflicted in his heart. Is this person capable?? There must be some.  But the problem is that the mind is not right.  I sighed secretly in my heart, blaming myself for not knowing this person well and not seeing this person¡¯s wolfish ambitions.  Faced with Cao Kun's questioning, Wu Peifu also felt a little guilty: "President, Qi Xieyuan has not taken action now. If Shijie is sent to Shandong, the outcome will probably be the same as the Third Division in Shandong." Cao Kun gritted his teeth and felt resentful.  Said: "Can't we use force to gain strength?" Wu Peifu sighed: "No, not only cannot, but the president also needs to stand on the commanding heights morally. Now your status is different. If you are the governor-general of Zhili,  There is no need to ask for a reason, but you are the president now, and you want to keep everything even. Especially in the current situation, the soldiers on the front line are watching. Dealing with high officials regardless of the reason will chill the soldiers.  In the end, the 300,000 troops on the front line may be defeated, and the whole army will be completely defeated." "Ah!" Cao Kun was frightened. It was not difficult to understand this truth, and he soon understood that Wu Peifu was right.  Since he became the president, Cao Kun always felt as if his hands and feet were tied up. Whenever he moved, he would feel uncomfortable.  But he became worried again: "What if Qi Xieyuan sees it and doesn't attack the fifth division?" "No, that is his only chance. Not only that, Qi Xieyuan wants to deal with the fifth division more and more, we  Even more important is to ask him to give up using troops. I have already sent a telegram to Qi Xieyuan. I hope that the Shandong issue will be resolved peacefully in the same Beiyang." Wu Peifu's response was very firm and seemed to have been determined.  Qi Xieyuan will not surrender.  When the Zhi-Feng war is over, if there is no clear winner, Qi Xieyuan will be dead; if there is a clear winner, Qi Xieyuan will be dead too.  Anyway, Wu Peifu never thought that he would lose, lose this war, and lose at the hands of a bunch of juniors who escaped from the bandits' den.  "If I don't do it, just lie down." Cao Kun murmured in his heart. He had only done risky things twice in his life. One time was to abandon the delivery cart and become a soldier; the other time was to become a soldier in a daze.  The direct leader, then fought with Duan Qirui, and finally won the war in a daze.  Both adventures made his life different.  But deep down, Cao Kun is not the kind of character who walks on a knife's edge. He likes to use the safest method.  For example, if he can do things with money, he will never use his fists.  Wu Peifu faced the sighing Cao Kun in embarrassment. His heart was messy, but he couldn't express his impatience.  After sitting for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore. Before leaving, he said: "President, in short, Shijie's army must not go south before a fight breaks out in Shandong. They can't even leave Baoding." "But in case a fight breaks out.  "What?" Cao Kun said anxiously. In earlier years, he wouldn't have been in a hurry, but now he is in charge of the Republic of China!  There was a fight at home and the bottles and cans that were smashed belonged to my own home!  Wu Peifu thought for a while: "Let them fight until they are half dead, and then deal with them." He still had many things to say that he did not dare to tell Cao Kun. If Qi Xieyuan really defected to Zhang Zuolin or the Japanese, then what would their purpose be?  It should be the same, oust Zhili.  As soon as Shandong started, Fengjun's main force in Yuguan and Funing should attack with all his strength. After Fengjun had exhausted all his means, Wu Peifu had already thought about it and treated the five brigades in his hand as campaign reserves, and together with them  The main force of the Zhili clique, the Third Division, will be driven out to form an absolute advantage in strength on the local battlefield. Guo Songling's department, which is restraining the main force of the Zhili clique, will be swallowed up in one go, and the Feng army will be beaten back to its original shape first.  In his eyes, he really looked down on the few troops of Qi Xieyuan and Zheng Shiqi. Both sides were evenly matched, with only four infantry regiments.  Even if Qi Xieyuan has a certain advantage, it won't be too much.  Even if Shandong is reduced to a pot of porridge, it will not be more important than the Great Wall defense line.  As long as Fengjun is defeated, there is hope that all the north will return to the Zhili's command. When the time comes, it will be as easy to go back and deal with Qi Xieyuan as to pick something up.  ¡°Besides, he also arranged for Cao Shijie. If others don¡¯t know Cao Shijie¡¯s abilities, how can Wu Peifu not know?  There is only one place for the elite supplementary troops under the direct command, Baoding.  The person who trained the troops was Cao Shijie. Cao Kun might not really be able to see his nephew's abilities, but Wu Peifu did.  Dealing with a battlefield veteran like Qi Xieyuan may cause some trouble, because Cao Shijie has never commanded such a large-scale battle.  But if Cao Shijie had no ability to hold Qi Xieyuan back when he had an absolute advantage in military strength, Wu Peifu would not believe anything he said.  As long as Qi Xieyuan is held back or the unrest in Shandong is limited to the south of the Yellow River, it is enough for Wu Peifu.  Anyway, the supplies of the direct system are transported from the Lu-Han Railway, not the Jin-Pu Railway.  Chaos in Shandong, noIt will cause trouble for the supply of the 300,000 troops on the front line.  In fact, Qi Xieyuan was also betting that after Guo Songling knew about the outbreak of civil war in Shandong, there would be loopholes in the direct defense.  As long as Guo Songling launches an attack, Wu Peifu will open a big net and wait to catch big fish.  Everyone here has their own calculations, but Cao Kun is the only one who is troubled. He feels that no one in the world can make him worry.  Although Yanjing objected but did not have any checks and balances, the Sixth Division, after replenishing some ammunition, began a military operation to go south and annex the Fifth Division.  The two sides fought from Tai'an to Feicheng.  Before the battle, Zheng Shiqi unexpectedly handed over command to Jiang Fangzhen.  But in the telegram Jiang Fangzhen sent to Wang Xueqian, he asked Wang Xueqian, his immediate boss and pseudo-commander, to set a combat target.  Wang Xueqian was in trouble when he got the telegram. After thinking about it, he wrote three words: "He will be outside"
