Zhao Fengchang bid farewell to Zhang Zhidong and Liang Dingfen in the city, and was escorted down the city wall. Then he quickly approached Liu Hai's military camp.
When Zhao Fengchang just came down to the city, he was discovered by Liu Hai's scouts outside the city.
As soon as he approached the military camp, several scouts quickly approached him. Before Zhao Fengchang could react, they threw him to the ground, wiped his shoulders and tied his arms.
Although Zhao Fengchang had long thought that he would be in trouble, he still said: "I want to see Mr. Xiao Kunxiao. You go in and report it as soon as possible. Tell your old friends in Shanghai to come to see me."
These scouts knew Xiao Kun's name. Although this intelligence leader did not have a good reputation in Liu Hai's system, he was very intimidating.
Therefore, these people did not dare to neglect, leaving two people to support Zhao Fengchang and slowly walked towards the military camp, while the others quickly reported inside.
Besides, it can be said that Xiao Kun is now very satisfied and is no longer the gangster leader in Shanghai.
Now Liu Hai is marching westward, and as the person in charge of intelligence, he is also following him.
On this day, he sent the latest information to Liu Hai. As soon as he returned to his tent and wanted to take a rest, his soldiers came in to report.
"Sir, a scholar has come to Taiyuan City. He says he is your old friend. I wonder if you have seen him."
When Xiao Kun heard that he was from Taiyuan City, his eyes lit up. He had arranged an important chess piece in Taiyuan City. Could it be that this person had something important to do, so he came to see him in person.
"Please come to the big tent quickly."
After Xiao Kun finished speaking, he felt a little rude, so he continued to order, "Hurry up and change my clothes. I will pick them up myself."
Xiao Kun hurriedly changed into a set of casual clothes during the battle, and then, led by his own soldiers, trotted forward to greet the scholar.
When Xiao Kun arrived at the gate of the military camp, he happened to meet Zhao Fengchang who was about to enter the camp.
Xiao Kun looked at him from a distance and immediately smiled. He came to Zhao Fengchang in three steps and two steps at a time, and gave him a deep salute first.
"Long time no see, how are you doing, sir?"
Zhao Fengchang looked at the man in front of him who was bowing to him, and Xiao Kun looked unhappy.
"Look at how tightly I'm tied now, is it okay?"
After hearing this, Xiao Kun immediately apologized profusely, "I was confused and wronged you sir."
After Xiao Kun finished speaking, he personally stepped forward to untie Zhao Fengchang, then took his arm and walked straight to his tent.
When they arrived at Xiao Kun's camp, a soldier presented fragrant tea to the two of them.
Xiao Kun and Zhao Fengchang took a few sips of tea. Xiao Kun then put down his teacup and asked, "Sir, how did you go about the things I asked you to do in Shanghai?"
Zhao Fengchang put down his tea cup and was silent for a long time before finally saying: "Where is my family?"
Xiao Kun had a smile on his face after hearing this, and he knew it was done.
"Sir, don't worry. I have already bought a villa for you in Shanghai. Your wife and the two young men now live there."
Zhao Fengchang did not believe Xiao Kun's words. He just looked at Xiao Kun's eyes, trying to see any flaws in them.
Xiao Kun saw that the other party did not believe him and did not take it seriously. He stood up and came outside the tent and clapped his hands. After a while, a young officer came to Xiao Kun.
Xiao Kun said a few words in his ear, and the officer bowed to Xiao Kun and left.
When the officer came back after a while, he was holding a wooden box in his hand and handed it to Xiao Kun respectfully.
Xiao Kun took the wooden box, sent the officer back to the tent, sat opposite Zhao Fengchang, and pushed the wooden box in front of Zhao Fengchang with a smile.
"I recently acquired a few rare items. Mr. Zhao understood after seeing them."
Zhao Fengchang took the wooden box and opened it to see several photos inside.
Zhao Fengchang picked up the photo and took a look. It was a photo of his family's daily life. Among them, his wife smiled brightly, while his two sons seemed to have no worries and were fooling around next to their mother.
Zhao Fengchang finally smiled when he looked at the relatives in the photo. He stretched out one hand to touch the people in the photo as if they were right in front of him.
After a long time, Zhao Fengchang finally came to his senses. He put the photo in his hand back into the wooden box and held it in his arms.
"Master Xiao is quite trustworthy. I would like to thank Master Xiao for taking care of my family."
Zhao Fengchang said this as a thank you, but actually his tone was full of sarcasm.
But Xiao Kun didn't seem to hear the unkindness in Zhao Fengchang's tone. He said with a smile on his face: "You're welcome. We are old acquaintances after all. It is only natural that I help you take care of your wife."
After hearing Xiao Kun's shameless words, Zhao Fengchang's face finally changed a little. Only now did he understand that in the mind of the intelligence leader, etiquette and shame were not a thing at all.
After Xiao Kun finished speaking, he immediately became serious, "Mr. Zhao, I have taken care of your affairs properly. I wonder how you have handled mine?"
After Zhao Fengchang heard this, he suppressed his anger and calmed down, and then said: "I have almost finished your matter. Mr. Zhang Zhidong has agreed to surrender."
After Xiao Kun heard this, he clapped his hands on his thighs and stood up excitedly.
When Zhao Fengchang came to Shanghai, he was actually targeted by Xiao Kun. However, Liu Hai and Zhang Zhidong had a good relationship at the time, and Xiao Kun did not touch Zhao Fengchang.
However, as the relationship between Liu Hai and Zhang Zhidong took a turn for the worse, the chess piece Zhao Fengchang had its due role.
Especially on the eve of Liu Hai's departure to the north, Xiao Kun, as an intelligence officer, was thinking about how to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Therefore, this big boss in Shanghai sent people to secretly kidnap Zhao Wenchang's family members. Then he used this to threaten Zhao Fengchang and pass on information for himself.
Although Zhao Fengchang was filled with indignation, he thought about his wife and children and could bear it in the end.
During this period, with Liu Hai's expedition to the west, Zhao Fengchang received a new task, which was to persuade Zhang Zhidong to abandon the secret and turn to the bright side when necessary.
As time went by, Zhao Fengchang gradually changed his mentality. He also saw that Liu Hai was becoming more and more powerful and was simply not something Zhang Zhidong could match.
Therefore, he believed that although he was passing information to Liu Hai, he was actually helping Zhang Zhidong, because if he failed, he would have the face to intercede for Zhang Zhidong to save his life.
But this time, after receiving the task of persuading Zhang Zhidong to surrender, Zhao Fengchang thought about it and thought it could be done, right?
Sure enough, Zhao Fengchang was talking to several other Zhang Zhidong's staff, such as Liang Dingfen, and they immediately understood it.
That's why today on the city tower, they jointly urged Zhang Zhidong to surrender.
"Although I have persuaded Mr. Zhang, there are still a few things I need to explain to you."
Xiao Kun knew what conditions the other party wanted to impose, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, as long as I can agree to it, I will not make a mistake. Even if I can't make the decision, I will also make comments like Mr. Liu Hailiu.
"
Zhao Fengchang nodded, "The first thing is, I hope Mr. Zhang will receive the courtesy he deserves after surrendering."
"Haha, Mr. Zhao is overly worried. Mr. Zhang's reputation is spread all over the country. If he surrenders to us before it is too late to welcome him, where will there be any examples?"
"As for the second matter, I hope that the Zhiqiang Army will not be held accountable in any way."
Xiao Kun listened and said with a smile: "The two armies are fighting, and each is his own master. The self-strengthening army only obeyed the orders of the superiors. What crime do they have? Mr. Zhao does not need to worry."
Zhao Fengchang's face finally relaxed after hearing Xiao Kun happily agree to his two conditions.
"Since that's the case, then I have nothing to say."
Xiao Kun stood up, bowed his hands to Zhao Fengchang, and said, "Mr. Zhao, please sit here for a while. I will report to our commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief may even summon Mr. Zhao."
After Xiao Kun finished speaking, he left the tent, winked at a few of his own soldiers at the entrance of the tent, and then left with peace of mind.
Xiao Kun left his side, hurriedly came to Liu Hai's Chinese army tent, and reported to Liu Hai's soldiers at the door.
After a while, words came from inside, asking Xiao Kun to go in and talk.
Xiao Kun tidied his clothes and then cautiously entered the army. He only saw Liu Hai sitting in the center with a map spread out before his death.
Xiao Kun quickly took a few steps forward, saluted Liu Hai first, and then carefully leaned next to Liu Hai.
Liu Hai stared at the map and asked, "What's the emergency? I just left for a while and now I'm back."
"This slave congratulates his master."
When Liu Hai heard this, his eyes finally left the map, glanced at Xiao Kun, and asked curiously: "What happy event do I have?"
"Back to the master, the meticulous work that the slave placed next to Mr. Zhang Zhidong has already worked. He came to our military camp in person just now and reported to me that Mr. Zhang Zhidong has decided to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side."
Liu Hai's eyes lit up after hearing this. They were planning to launch a strong attack and bombard Taiyuan City tomorrow, but they didn't expect Zhang Zhidong to surrender today.
But Liu Hai thought about it again, considering Zhang Zhidong's tough character, and felt that there might be something fishy about this matter.
"Isn't there a fraud involved? If that old guy pretends to surrender, he will trick us to death."
When Xiao Kun heard Liu Hai's words, he was shocked. He had been so excited about the funeral just now that he forgot about this experience.
Liu Hai saw Xiao Kun's uncertain face and knew that he was a little undecided.
"Who gave you the job?"
"Returning to the master, it was Zhao Fengchang, Zhang Zhidong's aide at that time."
Liu Hai felt very unfamiliar when he heard this name. He carefully thought about it in his mind and found that he had never heard of this person.
Xiao Kun was very clever. Seeing Liu Hai frowning and unable to remember this person, he quickly told Liu Hai the origin of Zhao Fengchang.
Liu Hai frowned even more after hearing this. He stood up and walked a few steps in the tent. Then he suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Kun: "There is a fraud this time. Zhang Zhidong is so scheming. How could he not see through such a simple scheme?"
