Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

It is difficult to deal with Longmen alone, and if the Northeast Army is recruited, we will be attacked from both sides.

If things go wrong, even he himself might fail in Shanghai.

So, after listening to what Xu Ren said, he no longer had any idea of ​​attacking Shanghai.

After thinking for a while, Wu Fatian said, "Xu Ren, prepare to withdraw the troops."

"Withdraw troops."

Hearing that Wu Fatian was going to withdraw his troops, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei became anxious. Li Chong immediately said, "Commander Wu, we can't withdraw our troops at this time. Our army has surrounded Shanghai. If we withdraw our troops at this time, wouldn't that give Ye Yunfei a chance?"

"Destroying it in one fell swoop is the best option. If we withdraw our troops now, we will lose everything. Everything we have done before will also be in vain. So, we can't leave."

Wu Fatian said coldly: "You two shut up. Whether to attack Shanghai or not is up to me, not you."

"Besides, no one can change the decision I made. Just the two of you are not qualified to order me around."

"If you want to attack Shanghai, then you two can do it on your own. I won't accompany you."

After that, Wu Fatian said to Xu Ren: "Mobilize the army immediately and withdraw from the area around Shanghai."

"And send a message to Ye Yunfei, saying that this incident was a complete misunderstanding. I listened to the instigation of Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei and made an unwise decision to attack Shanghai."

"Now that I have taken the initiative to withdraw my troops, I hope that the misunderstanding between the two sides can be resolved, and we can all make peace and develop together in the southeast."

Since we are going to withdraw our troops, we must also take care of the aftermath.

Now that Longmen has joined forces with the Northeast Army, Ye Yunfei's influence in the southeast will be greatly enhanced.

If you can't destroy it, you have to make friends with it.

So, he took the initiative to apologize, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.

Of course, this is also a delaying tactic. If he has the chance in the future, he will still kill Ye Yunfei.

But it’s definitely not possible now, so let’s solve the current trouble first.

He attributed all the problems to Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei, and tried his best to prevent Ye Yunfei from causing trouble for him.

As for the future, we will talk about it later.

Hearing this, Xu Ren nodded and said, "Understood, Commander, I will arrange for the withdrawal immediately and send someone to explain to Ye Yunfei."

After saying that, Xu Ren left.

However, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei both looked extremely ugly at this moment.

The two of them originally wanted to use Wu Fatian to deal with Ye Yunfei, but now, Wu Fatian actually took the initiative to admit defeat and wanted to withdraw his troops.

Their plan completely failed as they ran away without accomplishing anything.

What's even more ridiculous is that Wu Fatian actually attributed the reason for the attack on Shanghai to the two of them.

It was said that they instigated Wu Fatian to attack Shanghai.

This is to trap them to death.

Because of Lu Yongxiang's incident before, Ye Yunfei already hated them to the core.

If Wu Fatian now blames them for this matter, Ye Yunfei's hatred for them may be beyond description in words.

Now that Ye Yunfei's power is so great, it is definitely not a good thing for them that Ye Yunfei holds such a grudge against them.

The two looked at each other, their expressions were very ugly.

"What are you two still doing here? Get out of here right now."

At this time, Wu Fatian saw the two men still standing there with sly eyes, and he immediately became angry.

The two men looked gloomy and had to leave in shame.

……

Shanghai Beach, in Lido.

Ye Yunfei sat on a chair, smoking a cigar.

It's sunny outside today and the weather is nice.

He looked at the time. It was a little after nine in the morning.

According to the time calculation, today is the day when the three-day deadline comes.

Wu Fatian had said before that if they did not give up Shanghai within three days, he would attack directly and occupy Shanghai.

Now it is the third day, and there is no movement around Shanghai.

Obviously, Wu Fatian's army did not take action.

"It's already this time, and there's no sound of gunfire coming from around Shanghai. It looks like my guess is coming true. Wu Fatian doesn't dare to take action."

Ye Yunfei murmured.

At this time, Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li ran in.

Ding Li hurriedly said, "Brother Fei, great news, Wu Fatian has retired."

"Oh, is it so."

Ye Yunfei said.

Ding Li said: "Yes, Wu Fatian has withdrawn his troops. Isn't today the day Wu Fatian said he would attack Shanghai Beach? So I have been guarding around Shanghai Beach. I thought Wu Fatian would launch a large-scale attack this morning, but unexpectedly, they didn't attack at all."

"On the contrary, Wu Fatian's army is slowly withdrawing from the area around Shanghai. Now his 400,000-man army has almost withdrawn."

"There are basically no Wu Fatian's troops around Shanghai."

Ding Li said this with great excitement.

He originally thought that there would be a bloody battle today, but unexpectedly, Wu Fatian actually withdrew his troops on his own, which was completely beyond his expectations.

After listening to Ding Li's words, Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "It seems that Wu Fatian is quite sensible about the current situation. Taking the initiative to withdraw his troops should be the most correct choice he has made."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid he will lose his position as the commander-in-chief of the five southeastern provinces' coalition forces."

Ding Li said: "That's right, this old guy is sensible, otherwise, I would have made him die without a complete corpse."

At this time, Xu Wenqiang said, "Brother Fei, Wu Fatian just sent someone to deliver a message saying that what happened before was a misunderstanding. He did not want to be an enemy of Longmen, nor did he want to attack Shanghai."

"He was deceived by Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei, which led to the siege of Shanghai. Everything was caused by Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei, not by his own will."

"Now that he has taken the initiative to withdraw his troops and apologized to you, I hope that we can reconcile and develop together in the southeast in the future."

Xu Wenqiang conveyed Wu Fatian's intention to Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei sneered and said, "Misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding. If the Northeast Army hadn't issued a statement, how could Wu Fatian give up attacking Shanghai?"

"He just got scared, so he made peace with us. No one in this chaotic world is a fool. Wu Fatian is not a fool, and neither am I, Ye Yunfei."

Xu Wenqiang said: "The reason why Wu Fatian sent this news is that he hopes to make peace with us and not let you bear a grudge against him."

"Wu Fatian is also a very cunning person. He knows that in the current situation, the best option is for him to withdraw his troops, apologize and make peace, so he did so."

"If it were someone else, in such a high position, they would not humble themselves and apologize in person."

Ye Yunfei said: "You are right. Wu Fatian is indeed an opponent. He is very powerful and cunning. However, it is impossible to make peace."

"He led his troops to besiege Shanghai and became our enemy. I will make him pay back a hundredfold for this."
