Han Baihang frowned and said, "Are you planning on Yu Shuai?"
Zhang Ruolan said: "After defeating Duan Qirui, the Anhui army has been seriously damaged. Although it is not completely defeated, it has no ability to make a comeback."
Han Baihang said: "That's not necessarily the case. Duan Qirui has always been in collusion with the Japanese, and Xu Shuzheng is helping him. With the help of the Japanese, there is no doubt that he will be involved again."
Zhang Ruolan raised a finger and said in a teaching tone: "The Japanese are a hungry wolf and cannot be fed no matter what. Compared with the Anhui army that has been dispersed, the Zhizhi army in full swing is what they want."
And as far as I know, your commander-in-chief Cao Kun seems to have some collusion with the Japanese."
"Our commander-in-chief hates the Japanese the most. How could he collude with them? Don't talk nonsense here."
Although Han Baihang's tone was very firm, even he could not say it himself. Now warlords all over the country are clamoring for a joint-provincial constitution. To put it bluntly, it means separatist rule and becoming a prince with military power.
In such a general environment, the central government lacked strong control. It was simply impossible for Cao Kun to seize control of the entire China without relying on the external force of the great powers.
No matter who hates the Japanese the most, as long as it can bring benefits to himself, he will even sell his own father, let alone any sovereignty.
Zhang Ruolan still had a smile on her face and said: "Now the Zhili clique has been divided into two factions. Although Wu Peifu is still under Cao Kun's jurisdiction, when the Anhui army lost, Wu Peifu had faint signs of replacing him, and it has not completely broken out yet. Then
It's because there is Zhang Huzi outside who is ready to pick up the slack at any time. After Zhang Huzi is defeated, I think there will be no peace within the direct line. I won't comment on Marshal Cao's character, but he will definitely not be able to defeat Marshal Yu.
"
Han Baihang looked at Zhang Ruolan blankly. If he hadn't been sure that Zhang Ruolan was Zhang Renkui's biological daughter, he would have thought that she had traveled back in time like him.
"How do you know these things?"
"Usually read more books, newspapers, and think more, and you can easily draw conclusions." Zhang Ruolan sealed her lips with her fingers and said matter-of-factly, then suddenly turned her head and asked with a bit of excitement in her eyes:
"You can tell by your tone?"
Han Baihang smiled bitterly and said, "No, I was just asking casually."
The sun slowly went down, and the pale yellow light turned into orange. It lost its previous temperature, and the room suddenly became colder. Han Baihang touched his chilly spine, lowering his head and not daring to look at the person in front of him.
A demonic girl.
"As long as the two of us get married, I will definitely make you rise to prominence. It won't be difficult to kill Wu Peifu one day." Zhang Ruolan glanced at the sky, then Shi Shiran walked towards the door.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind came in, and the fine dust followed the wind and flew into Han Baihang's eyes. Han Baihang blocked his eyes with his hands and looked at Zhang Ruolan's blackened back.
The scattered hair danced gently in the wind, like poisonous snakes with their mouths open. Han Baihang couldn't help but think of the legendary Medusa, whose face was like a fairy, but it was impossible to look directly at her.
"Let's go quickly. If you stay any longer, I'm afraid my father will be angry."
Zhang Ruolan turned around and looked at Han Baihang with an innocent smile on his face. Han Baihang moved his numb hands and feet, got up and followed Zhang Ruolan out.
When we walked to the gate, there were fewer people on the street. A sudden strong wind blew everyone into the gate.
There were a few small stalls scattered on the street. When they saw Han Baihang, they were like seeing saviors. They shouted with all their strength.
Zhang Ruolan took Han Baihang's arm and pulled him to a noodle seller's stall. He was happily playing with the noodle sellers on the table, with an innocent smile like a child's face.
"You like this thing?"
Han Baihang couldn't understand why a woman with such deep thoughts about her would be interested in these children's toys.
"You don't understand. My first birthday gift in life is a dough figurine made by my mother for me." Zhang Ruolan held the dough figurine in her hand, with something in her eyes that Han Baihang couldn't understand.
Is it confusion, memories, sentimentality, or regret that can never be washed away?
Zhang Ruolan quickly covered up all these, and turned into a pair of deep eyes. She raised the mask in her hand and said to Han Baihang: "Which one of these two do you think is better looking?"
Han Baihang retracted his thoughts, glanced at the two faces in her hands and said, "Both of them are beautiful, I'll give them to you."
As he said that, Han Baihang took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the stall owner, pulling Zhang Ruolan and walking towards Zhang's house. When the boss turned around to look for the money, the two of them had already walked away.
"Is this a token of love you gave me?" Zhang Ruolan blinked, revealing two beautiful pear dimples.
Han Baihang smiled and said: "That's right, but I have a question to ask you."
Zhang Ruolan said: "What's the problem?"
Han Baihang said: "I just can't figure it out. How could you, a weak woman, stun me on the street and then move me to that house?"
Zhang Ruolan smiled mysteriously and jumped away like a little rabbit, still laughing: "I'll give you a hint, this is Nantong."
Han Baihang looked at Zhang Ruolan's back, glanced around, and suddenly found several familiar figures. He suddenly understood, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and chased after Zhang Ruolan.
When the two returned to Zhang's house, candles were already lit in front of the door, and bright red lanterns were hung in front of the door, emitting streaks of red light, adding a bit of joy to the sad weather.
When he opened the door, he heard a burst of noise coming from inside. Zhang Renkui held a birthday banquet for two days specifically, and the official birthday banquet will be tomorrow.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, a man hurried over, and Han Baihang subconsciously took half a step back.
"Ruolan, where have you been? I've been looking for you all afternoon and couldn't find you." Zhang Xueliang took Zhang Ruolan's hand and said with great worry: "He didn't do anything to you, right?"
Zhang Xueliang's razor-like gaze shot towards Han Baihang, who spread his hands innocently, saying that he had done nothing.
Zhang Ruolan quietly took her hand away from Zhang Xueliang's and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just bored, so I asked him to go out with me for a walk."
Zhang Xueliang's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly, his eyes became colder and colder, and he suddenly turned around and muttered something to the person standing behind him.
After listening to Zhang Xueliang's instructions, the man slowly walked towards Han Baihang.
