Wang Zhangmao thought for a while and said: "I know you are not joking, but... why should I help you?"

Wang Zhangzheng said calmly: "Brother, you are in danger now. If you refuse to cooperate, your life may be at risk. I know you are loyal to the southern government, but the situation is over and there is no point in resisting anymore. It is better to help us and save yourself."

A way back."

Wang Zhangmao frowned and hesitated. He knew very well that if he refused to cooperate, it was not impossible for him to be dragged out and shot. After all, looking at his brother's clothes, he didn't seem to be someone who could speak well.

people.

But what can I do if I just promise to do it? Will Shaanxi really give me a hard time?

Faced with his brother's doubts, Wang Zhangzheng explained: "Brother, we will not force you to do something you cannot do. We will arrange appropriate tasks for you based on the information you provide. If you can perform well, we will naturally give you

You will be treated accordingly."

After hearing this, Wang Zhangmao still hesitated. He wanted to know how much trust he could gain and how he would be treated.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zhangzheng continued: "Brother, we sincerely hope you can join us. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we will ensure your safety and provide necessary living security. Please believe that we are absolutely sincere."

It was said that after careful consideration, it was actually just one option. Wang Zhangmao finally nodded.

Wang Zhangzheng's troops were advancing with great success, and Wang Zhangmao, as a newly captured man, was unable to leave.

So during the Chinese New Year, only Wang Zhangpei, a child who had been drifting away, came back. He and his senior brother Wang Zhangmao, the division commander, were trying to figure out how to replenish the army.

When Wang Zhangpei returned home, after so many years of war, everyone didn't have much money. But this was the Chinese New Year. We lived within our means, so it was more or less lively than usual.

Wang Zhangpei returned home for the first time with his wife Liu Yunhua. He looked at the door that he had not returned to for a long time. It was still exactly the same as when he left, without any change.

Wang Zhangpei sighed: "I finally came back. After so many years, there really is no change here at all."

Liu Yunhua looked around, her eyes full of curiosity and expectation. She knew that this was the place where her husband was born when he was a child, and that it would also become her own home for a period of time.

Liu Yunhua looked at the expression on Wang Zhangpei's face and knew that he was in a complicated mood. She gently held Wang Zhangpei's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Zhang Pei, let's go home. I believe that the family will be happy to see you."

our."

Wang Zhangpei opened the door and took Liu Yunhua into the yard. The yard was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, full of joy and full of New Year flavor. Wang Zhangpei's fathers Wang Wenwu and Zhang Mu'en heard the commotion and came out to greet them.

"Dad, aunt, we are back!" Wang Zhangpei said happily.

Zhang Muen looked Liu Yunhua up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Is this Yunhua? What a beautiful girl!"

Liu Yunhua shyly followed Wang Zhangpei and said hello: "Dad, aunt, hello!"

Wang Wenwu patted Wang Zhangpei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, just come back! Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

The family crowded into the living room and sat around the fire, talking and laughing. Wang Zhangpei told Wang Wenwu about his marriage to Liu Yunhua, and Wang Wenwu was naturally very happy after hearing this.

Wang Zhangpei did not need to make any arrangements on his own, he solved his life-long matter by himself! Although today is the first time he met Liu Yunhua, Wang Wenwu knew that she was a good girl.

This can't help but remind Wang Wenwu of Wang Yue, an unlucky guy whose two consecutive relationships were unreliable. Youdao can only do three things, and I hope her next one will go smoothly.

"Dad, Mom, we haven't had a wedding here yet. So we plan to have a wedding in a few days. Do you think it's okay?" Wang Zhangpei asked.

Wang Wenwu didn't expect that the first thing Wang Zhangpei did when he got home was to prepare a banquet. But for Liu Yunhua's sake, Wang Wenwu thought about it and said, "Well, yes. This wedding should be more lively to make everyone happy.

Happy!"

Zhang Muen also agreed and said with a smile: "Yes, there is finally a happy event at home this year!"

As a result, the family began to prepare for the wedding in a lively manner. The entire Wang family was immersed in a strong festive atmosphere and the joy of the wedding.

But when he was drawing up the guest list, Wang Zhangpei looked at the unfamiliar names on the list, stopped Guo Bao, who had been following his father for a long time, and asked: "Why don't I recognize any of the guests my father has drawn up?

"

Guo Bao was holding the invitation written by Wang Wenwu and was about to send it out. At this moment, he was stopped by Wang Zhuangpei. Guo Bao naturally knew who Wang Wenwu had invited.

Guo Bao said: "Master, if you don't know these people, that's normal. These are all people I met many years ago? I guess I am taking this opportunity to get together with these old friends!"

"

Wang Zhangpei nodded and expressed his understanding. He knew that his father had made many friends since he had been in officialdom in Beiyang until now. This wedding was undoubtedly a good opportunity to reunite old friends.

It's just that the guests on this list are neither in high positions nor rich. Wang Zhangpei couldn't help but ask: "What do these people do? Why haven't I heard the names of these people in this city of Beiping?"

!”

?

Guo Bao smiled and explained: "Master, some of these people are my acquaintances in business, and some are colleagues I met in official circles. Although they are not prominent now, they were still considered prominent in the past.

He is a one-of-a-kind person."

Wang Zhangpei didn't understand. He thought his wedding should be full of guests, not a gathering of frustrated people. He said, "Then why did father invite these people? They don't seem to be dignitaries anymore. Why invite them?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Guo Bao, as if he didn’t know anything, explained: "Master, don’t look at these people. Now, although all we have left is to wait for death.

But they are not really dead. These people have also seen a lot of vicissitudes of life. They must have a few trump cards in their hands! They are not easy to mess with no matter what!"

What Guo Bao actually meant was to tell Wang Zhangpei that although these old guys invited by Wang Wenwu may not seem to be inconspicuous now, their former status and connections may still exist. Don't look down on them so much. What's more, you, the brigade commander, have no skills.

The troops here are nothing.

But to Wang Zhangpei's ears, this is indeed not the case. These old guys just try to prove that they only have a few trump cards in their hands, and they eat and drink.

This is different from what Wang Zhangpei had imagined in advance. Wang Zhangpei was only in his twenties and had a smooth journey. He became the brigade commander of the reorganization division at the age of more than 20 without any setbacks.

He can't understand why your father would invite those old guys who have retired or lost power. Although they once had power and wealth, their accumulated contacts and experience are still valuable.

Little did they know. Wang Wenwu invited them to the wedding not only to reunite with old friends, but also to expand Wang Zhangpei's contacts and increase his influence.

Looking at Guo Bao's face, his father was really kind to him. He also wondered if he was wrong. Finally, he could only sigh with emotion: "My father is really far-sighted. I understand his intentions."

Guo Bao thought that Wang Zhangpei really understood. He continued to send the invitations with a smile on his face.

Wang Zhangpei hurriedly asked his wife Liu Yunhua for analysis. Ever since Wang Zhangpei was thrown into the hands of men, he has been thinking about making a comeback all the time.

It is not easy to keep the few people in hand with his in-laws. How can he have the ability to help him make a comeback? This is the reason why Wang Zhangpei came back to celebrate the New Year this year! Just like his father could push himself to the position of brigade commander back then.

, let yourself make a comeback.

However, Wang Zhangpei discovered that his father had no such intention and instead invited a group of "old guys" who he considered useless to attend the wedding. This made him feel disappointed and dissatisfied.

After listening to Wang Zhangpei's confession, Liu Yunhua smiled and comforted him and said: "Zhang Pei, don't be too anxious. Since my father did this, he must have his reasons. Besides, have you ever told your father about this idea now? This has always been the case.

You are wishful thinking. Father is not a roundworm in your belly, how do you know?"

After listening to his wife's words, Wang Zhangpei felt much calmer. With a sigh, Wang Zhangpei escaped with only his personal bodyguards, but he suffered a huge loss afterwards.

If Liu Yunhua hadn't been by his side to comfort him, Wang Zhangpei might have been completely disabled. Before that, he looked quite normal. But no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Wang Zhangpei said: "I'm going to talk to my father now!"

Liu Yunhua smiled and said: "You have been going for a long time! I guess dad has been waiting for you for a long time. Go quickly!"

But Wang Zhangpei stopped in front of the study and didn't dare to open the door. In the end, Liu Yunhua helped open the door, holding Wang Zhangpei's hand and pulling him in.

Wang Wenwu looked at the two people who came in, put down the newspaper in his hand, and said: "Zhang Pei, you are such a big man. Why do you come to my study? You still need Yunhua to accompany you. You are still a brigade commander. You will not lose a battle."

Have all your energy and energy been lost?"

Wang Zhangpei couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing his father's words. He knew that what his father said was true. Since the defeat, he had been depressed and lost his former self-confidence and vigor.

Seeing this, Liu Yunhua quickly stepped forward to defend Wang Zhangpei: "Dad, don't say that about Zhangpei. He was just frustrated for a moment and needs time to adjust. I believe he will recover soon."

Wang Wenwu looked at his son's depressed expression and couldn't bear it. He sighed and said, "Zhang Pei, I know you feel uncomfortable. But I hope you understand that there are always ups and downs in life. If you fall, you will have to go."

Stand up bravely."

Wang Zhangpei nodded and said: "Dad, you are right. I just need some time to adjust myself. Please don't worry, I will get back on my feet."

Wang Wenwu softened his tone and said, "Okay, Zhang Pei can tell from the moment you enter the house that you are worried, so just tell me if you have anything to say!"

Wang Zhangpei hesitated for a moment and then said: "Dad, I know you have always wanted me to get ahead, but I am encountering some difficulties now. Can you help me think of a way to regain control of the army?"

Wang Wenwu looked at his son's expectant eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "Zhang Pei, have you ever seen how many generals can make a comeback after throwing away their troops? Even if they succeed, it will be indispensable for heaven, earth and man. You yourself

Think about where you are?"

Wang Zhangpei was stunned. He didn't expect what his father would say. But it was true that just as his father said, he had thrown away his troops. There were only a few people who could make a comeback.

But Wang Zhangpei believes that he is not without hope at all. After all, the southern government has formed new troops one after another. Although these troops are depleted very quickly, isn't the starting point of his original troops the same?

Wang Wenwu said: "You may say that the southern government has built many new troops now? It just needs to put you in, right?"

Wang Zhangpei nodded.

Wang Wenwu said: "Your brother, Zhang Mao even had to work hard to replenish the troops. Those newly formed troops had names before they were formed. Just put you in and don't even think about it.

Besides, do you still have anyone who can be used? Even if you are stuffed in, except for your personal guards, who can you command? You are equivalent to the Emperor Zhou during the Warring States Period, no one listens to your words like farts.

listen!"

Wang Zhangpei's whole expression collapsed. Just like his father said, he had no one available in his hands.

Wang Wenwu walked up to Wang Zhangpei and patted him on the back. He said: "Of course there is another most important thing, that is, I am not optimistic about the southern government. It was an all-out attack before, but it became a focused attack later. Although the newspaper did not say that

, but I know that the southern government has now become defensive.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I think you, someone who has been on the front line, should know this better than me. If you continue to stay in the southern government, maybe next time

Life won’t be as good as it is now.”
