Special Envoy Zhou hugged his arms and sneered: "Duan Qirui, I know this is your command center, but what's going on? Maybe you don't know the purpose of the Grandmaster asking me to come here, right?"

Duan Qirui's face turned pale: "What do you want to do?"

"Hmph, what is this?" Special Envoy Zhou pointed to the letter and questioned.

Duan Qirui was speechless. The scene he didn't want to see finally happened, but he had a clear conscience. Duan Qirui straightened his back and said righteously: "That was the letter Nie Shicheng gave me, but I don't know what it was."

"Don't know what?" Special Envoy Zhou sneered, "You'll know by taking it apart!"

"Bold! You are too presumptuous. This is my personal letter!" Duan Qirui pointed at Special Envoy Zhou and said sternly.

"What private letters are I'm afraid it's the content of your collusion with Nie Shicheng!" Special Envoy Zhou forced him.

"Nonsense! I, Duan Qirui, walked straight and sat upright, and never did such a miserable thing! Moreover, Nie Shicheng and I had no contact before." Duan Qirui defended loudly.

Duan Qirui said this, but he felt a little panicked. If Nie Shicheng's content in the letter was about persuading surrender, he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Duan Qirui realized at this time that this was Tang Jian's counter-espionage plan, but this counter-espionage plan made him unable to argue. After all, the letter was found on the desk of his command center.

"Disconnect it! Read it out!" Special Envoy Zhou ordered to the officer holding the letter.

"You dare!" Duan Qirui saw that he had already torn his face, and could no longer help it, so he rushed forward and wanted to take the letter.

However, as soon as he moved, an officer closest to him had already pressed his waist with a pistol.

"What? Want to destroy evidence?" Special Envoy Zhou was preparing to come this time. Since he dared to break in and grab Nie Shicheng's letter, he was confident that he could control Duan Qirui.

Duan Qirui was about to resist, but the officer who was holding the gun instantly pulled his gun, leaving him unable to move at all.

"Guards, guards!" Duan Qirui shouted.

"Call me, no matter how much I call you, no one will pay attention to you. Do you think I have lived here with you these days just to eat, drink and have fun?: Special Envoy Zhou looked at Duan Qirui like a cat joking with a mouse.

The man holding the letter quickly opened the envelope, then shook out the neatly folded letter paper in the envelope, and read it loudly: "Zhiquan, it's been awesome recently. Commander Tang Jian has agreed to your department's surrender. After discussion, it was decided that your department will surrender outside Anqing City in three days. At that time, I will go to discuss the surrender in person, Nie Shicheng."

Duan Qirui's face became gloomy as he listened to the content in his heart. It was indeed Tang Jian's counter-espionage plan! And it was even more serious than what he wanted. The content in his heart was to discuss the matter of surrender directly.

"What else do you have to say? Duan Qirui, Commander Duan!" Special Envoy Zhou shouted sternly.

Duan Qirui defended: "No, it's not like this! I did not betray the Grand Marshal. These are Tang Jian's counter-espionage plan. You must not fall into the trap!"

"Hmph, everyone has evidence and physical evidence, how dare you argue? Are you confused as a general? The general has long seen your rebellious intention, so he specially ordered me to come and monitor you. Unexpectedly, the general is indeed right. If the general had not planned for the future, you Duan Qirui would have rebelled in three days!" Envoy Zhou sneered.

Duan Qirui collapsed weakly on his chair and said in a daze: "No, no, I am loyal to the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal will not treat me like this. This is obviously Tang Jian's trick. Let me go out and I want to go back to Beijing to explain the situation to the Grand Marshal himself!"

"Hmph, Duan Qirui, you are called the Beiyang Tiger. Do you think the Grand Marshal will let you go so easily when he finds out that you betray him?" Special Envoy Zhou sarcastically said.

Duan Qirui sighed heavily: "Ignorance, Ignorance! This is obviously Tang Jian's trick, why can't the general understand it?"

"Bastard, can you say the Grandmaster?" Special Envoy Zhou slapped Duan Qirui in the face immediately.

Duan Qirui spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood, and smiled madly, "Haha, what should the Grandmaster want you to deal with me?" At this time, Duan Qirui was completely discouraged.

Special Envoy Zhou tried a wink, and the officer holding the gun pointed his gun at Duan Qirui's temple. Special Envoy Zhou slowly said word by word: "The General said that once Duan Qirui has a strange intention, he will be executed on the spot!"

"Haha, what an one will be executed on the spot!" Duan Qirui roared to the sky, "I didn't expect that I, Duan, will be today! My decent Beiyang Tiger was not dead under the enemy's artillery fire, but under the guns of my own people. I am unwilling, I am unwilling!"

"It's useless if you are unwilling to give up! Take action!" Special Envoy Zhou ordered.

Duan Qirui closed his eyes in despair, and a "bang" gunshot flashed with blood.

Duan Qirui only heard a gunshot, but did not feel the severe pain as expected. Duan Qirui opened his eyes and was surprised to find a blood hole suddenly appeared in Special Envoy Zhou's chest, and a trickle of hot blood surged out of the blood hole.

Another officer found something strange from the door and wanted to pull out his gun to fight back. "Bang bang..." A sudden burst of gunfire suddenly remembered that everyone in the command room except Duan Qirui fell in a pool of blood.

Special Envoy Zhou's huge body fell to the ground, and blood foam continued to overflow from his mouth. He pointed at Duan Qirui with one hand and said intermittently: "Duan...Duan Qirui, you..." Then he did not lift it up in one breath, and he died of death.

At this time, Xu Shuzheng rushed in from outside the door with more than a dozen soldiers holding spears. Xu Shuzheng helped Duan Qirui up and asked, "Teacher Commander, are you okay?"

Another soldier held a spear and shot several more officers on the ground who had not died. After confirming that all the dangers had been lifted, he rushed to Duan Qirui.

Duan Qirui walked away from the Gate of Hell, his eyes were dull and his reaction was a little slow, and he asked, "Youzheng, why are you back? Have I sent you to Chaohu to prevent the new army in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province?"

Xu Shuzheng explained: "Teacher Commander, I saw that the special envoy quietly replaced the guards of your command in the past few days. I felt something was strange, so I took the initiative and wandered around outside and came back!"

Duan Qirui nodded weakly when he heard this.

Xu Shuzheng asked, "I didn't expect that the envoy was indeed indiscriminate in this week, and he tried to be unfavorable to the division commander. Fortunately, I rushed back in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Duan Qirui waved his hand and said, "Youzheng, we have been plotted against, this time it's really over!" Then, Duan Qirui told Xu Shuzheng all the things, as well as the content in the letter Nie Shicheng.

Xu Shuzheng widened his eyes and asked, "Teacher, what should I do now? Now Special Envoy Zhou is dead. Even if he doesn't really surrender, he will become surrender. With the character of the Grand Marshal, the Grand Marshal will definitely not let the division commander go!"

Duan Qirui sighed and said sadly: "I have always been loyal to the Grand Marshal and have no other intentions. But the Grand Marshal not only listened to the villain's slander, but he was suspicious of me for a hundred years. Tang Jian's small counter-espionage plan, and he killed me, and he didn't even give me a chance to defend himself. It really made me Duan Qirui feel sad! You Zheng, please write a letter to Tang Jian in Wuchang immediately!"

"Teacher, are we really going to surrender?" Xu Shuzheng asked in surprise.

"There is no choice. I, Duan Qirui, can no longer tolerate the new Beiyang army. Although I hate Tang Jian's despicable means of using counter-espionage schemes to force me to surrender, he allowed me to see Yuan Shikai's true face. Speaking of which, I have to thank him. Since no one is left here, I can only change my flag!" Duan Qirui said helplessly.

"Okay, commander, I'll prepare now!" Xu Shuzheng said and walked out.

"Wait a minute, I will kill all the eyeliners of the general's special envoy Zhou!" Duan Qirui said hatred. What he hated the most was the person who betrayed the superior. Since the special envoy Zhou was so fearless just now, there must be a supporting officer in the army. In order to prevent mutiny, he must remove these cancers in the army as soon as possible.

Xu Shuzheng smiled and nodded because he saw Duan Qirui who was decisive in his killing again. This was the commander he remembered.

After all the bodies in the command center were dealt with, Duan Qirui sat in his seat again, lit a cigarette, and the smoke surrounds, Duan Qirui's eyes began to become blurred.

"Master! You can't blame me. Since you are ruthless and unrighteous, there is no need for me, Duan Qirui, to work hard for you anymore!" Duan Qirui murmured in the chair.

Wuchang Wartime Command.

"Good news!" Yan Fuxing knocked on Tang Jian's door and said excitedly with the letter raised in his hand.

At this time, Tang Jian was studying the enemy and us situation between the north and the south. Seeing Yan Fuxing rushing in, Tang Jian grinned and asked, "Mr. Yan, what makes you so happy?"

Yan Fu took a cup of water on the table and drank it all, handed a letter to Tang Jian, and said, "Hey, Duan Qirui's letter!"

When Tang Jian heard that it was Duan Qirui's heart, he raised his eyebrows and said happily: "This letter has been so hard to wait, haha!"

Tang Jian took the letter and opened it and saw that it was indeed Duan Qirui's preparation for surrender. He also clearly wrote the number of people in Duan Qirui's army, weapons and equipment, and date of surrender. At the end, Duan Qirui's autograph was signed by Duan Qirui, which was not a fake, but it seemed to be true.

"I think Duan Qirui should be scolding me in his heart at this time!" Tang Jian said jokingly.

Yan Fu sat down at Zhang Chai and said, "That's natural. This move of counter-spraying force surrender is really amazing. Duan Qirui has no room for maneuver at all, so he can only surrender and change his flag."

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Hey, I said Mr. Yan, are you praising me or scolding me?"

"Of course I'm praising you. Now that Anqing has joined me, Yuan Shikai's carefully managed Yangtze River defense line has been cut into two sections. The Russian army in Jingzhou and the Beiyang New Army in Nanjing cannot take care of each other. The most important thing now is to divide the extra troops and help Nie Shicheng eat some of the Russian army in Jingzhou City in one bite!" Yan Fu helped his eyes and said.

"Of course, Mr. Yan, since that's the case, you can call Nie Shicheng immediately and let him go!" Tang Jian waved his hand and said.

After saying that, Tang Jian picked up the pen on the table and drew An Qing on the map to the south, and at the same time drew a big key mark on the location of Jingzhou.
