Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

After seeing Ye Yunfei sign his name, Yan Laoxi also signed his name on the treaty.

After both of them signed their names, Ye Yunfei said, "Now we can complete the three conditions."

Yan Laoxi said: "Okay, let's arrange it right away. Send everything to Mr. Ye within two hours."

Ye Yunfei said: "General Yan is indeed an honest and trustworthy person. Okay, I will wait here."

Yan Laoxi nodded and then asked someone to make the arrangements.

While both parties were waiting, Xu Wenqiang suddenly said, "Mr. Yan, I have a suggestion. I hope Mr. Yan can consider it."

Xu Wenqiang has always been following Ye Yunfei. Because he is his subordinate, he never spoke when Ye Yunfei and Yan Laoxi were discussing things.

Now that he saw that the two had almost finished their conversation, he began to speak.

Yan Laoxi glanced at Xu Wenqiang and said, "This is."

Ye Yunfei said: "He is Xu Wenqiang, my brother."

Old West Yan nodded and said, "So it's Mr. Xu. I've heard of your great name for a long time. I heard that Mr. Xu is the second most important person in Longmen after Mr. Ye. I've also heard of Mr. Xu for a long time. It's a great honor for me to meet him today."

Xu Wenqiang said, "General Yan, you are too kind. I am just a little brother of the Dragon Lord. I am grateful that the Dragon Lord thinks highly of me and gave me a chance to work in Longmen."

"As long as I am in Longmen, I don't mind whether I am the number two, number 200, or number 2,000."

Yan Laoxi narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Xu is not only capable, but also so low-key. He is indeed extraordinary."

"Mr. Xu just said that he has a proposal. I don't know what it is. Please tell me. I'm listening."

Xu Wenqiang said: "I heard that there is a grudge between General Yan and Wu Fatian of Southeast."

When Wu Fatian was mentioned, Yan Laoxi frowned and said, "How did Mr. Xu know that Wu Fatian and I have a grudge?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "I heard that General Yan and Wu Fatian were both generals in the Republic of China. The Republic of China government originally intended to let General Yan be the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Five Provinces Allied Forces to manage the entire Southeast."

"But later, Wu Fatian used some kind of conspiracy to snatch the position of commander-in-chief of the Southeast Five Provinces Allied Forces from General Yan."

"If General Yan becomes the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five southeastern provinces, then the entire southeast will belong to General Yan. The five southeastern provinces are much larger than one Jin province."

"So, Wu Fatian not only took away General Yan's territory, but also his position in the Republic of China government, right?"

After Xu Wenqiang finished speaking, he looked at Yan Laoxi.

Everything he said was what he had inquired about before he came into contact with Yan Laoxi.

Of course, there are some reasons for saying this.

Now it depends on how Yan Laoxi performs.

After listening to Xu Wenqiang's words, Yan Laoxi looked very unhappy and said, "Mr. Xu knows a lot about my history."

"We have just signed the treaty, so I will not hide it from you. It is indeed as you said. The position of the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Five Provinces Allied Forces originally belonged to me. The Nationalist government has long been prepared to give this position to me."

"It's just that Wu Fatian, that bastard, bribed dozens of high-ranking officials in the Republic of China with a large sum of money, causing more than half of the people to choose him instead of me during the voting."

"Finally, the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five southeastern provinces fell into his hands."

"If he hadn't engaged in intrigue and bribed Republican officials, he wouldn't have been able to become the commander-in-chief."

When mentioning this matter, Yan Laoxi was also extremely angry.

The position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five southeastern provinces is many times higher than his position as commander of the Jin Army.

Moreover, the five southeastern provinces are the economic center of the entire Republic of China.

Whether in status, power, or wealth, it is far superior to Jin Province.

The five southeastern provinces originally belonged to him, but were snatched away from him by Wu Fatian.

Speaking of this matter, Yan Laoxi still feels very unhappy.

If the five southeastern provinces were in his hands, how could he stay in this barren Jin Province now?

Coming to Shanxi Province and becoming the commander was really a helpless move for him.

Therefore, Wu Fatian has always been his enemy in his heart, and this has never changed over the years.

But I didn’t expect that Xu Wenqiang would actually talk about this matter today.

He stared at Xu Wenqiang, wondering what Xu Wenqiang's purpose was in telling this matter.

Xu Wenqiang said: "I think that we may have a common goal, so I mentioned this matter to General Yan."

Yan Laoxi frowned and said, "Common goal, what do you mean? How come we have a common goal?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "To be honest, Wu Fatian is also a rival of my Longmen."

"General Yan must have heard about what happened in Shanghai before. Wu Fatian led his troops to besiege Shanghai and created a feud with us."

"We at Longmen have long wanted to deal with Wu Fatian, but we just haven't had a suitable opportunity."

"Now, we are just waiting for an opportunity. Once the opportunity is ripe, we will destroy Wu Fatian."

"We have a grudge against Wu Fatian, and General Yan and Wu Fatian also have a grudge against each other. Isn't this our common goal?"

After hearing what Xu Wenqiang said, Yan Laoxi's eyes fixed.

He said: "It seems that what Mr. Xu said is correct. We do have a common goal."

"Then what Mr. Xu meant is."

Xu Wenqiang said: "We will deal with Wu Fatian soon. If General Yan wants to take revenge, he can join us."

"When the time comes, by destroying Wu Fatian, General Yan will have settled the grudge between you two."

Yan Laoxi said: "I understand what Mr. Xu means. You want me to help you deal with Wu Fatian."

"However, Wu Fatian is not someone you can easily mess with. He has an army of 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers, and he dominates the southeast."

"You, Longmen, are not absolutely sure of dealing with him, so you want me to help."

"You are trying to drag me down with you."

Yan Laoxi was not a fool. He also understood clearly what Xu Wenqiang meant, which was to ask him to help Longmen deal with Wu Fatian.

He is an extreme egoist. If there is no absolute benefit, how could he do such a risky thing?

There was indeed a grudge between him and Wu Fatian, but this grudge was not enough for him to take the risk to deal with Wu Fatian.

Xu Wenqiang said: "I am just proposing this. Whether General Yan is willing to send troops is up to you."

"If we can really take care of Wu Fatian, then General Yan will not only get rid of a powerful enemy, but also gain a lot."

"This may not be a bad thing for you."

Yan Laoxi said: "Mr. Xu means that as long as I send troops to help you destroy Wu Fatian, you will give me benefits..."
