Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ye Yunfei said: "Why not? Isn't this the best and simplest way? Not only can it complete the merger, but it can also eliminate some of the people who oppose you in your Northeast Army. This way, you can better control the Northeast Army."

"Kill two birds with one stone. It's such a good thing, why not."

Zhang Hanqing sighed and said, "Brother Ye, you don't know that those who oppose are all veterans of the Northeast Army. They were my father's confidants and are considered my elders. How can I take action against my elders?"

"Moreover, they have a very strong influence within the Northeast Army. Each of them has a lot of troops. If they are killed, it will inevitably cause a major change in the Northeast Army and may even cause civil unrest."

"By then, the entire Northeast Army will be involved in a civil war, and the consequences will be disastrous, so killing them is definitely not an option."

After Zhang Hanqing finished speaking, Ye Yunfei glanced at him coldly.

This Zhang Hanqing is really a waste.

He couldn't control his own army, and he didn't even dare to kill the few people who opposed him.

To say that he is incompetent may be a bit of a compliment to him.

This is cowardly.

However, Zhang Hanqing has decided to join Longmen after all, so we still have to take care of it.

Ye Yunfei said: "Since you can't kill me, I respect your opinion."

"Then there is only one last resort."

Zhang Hanqing said: "What method?"

Ye Yunfei said: "I plan to talk to the four major warlords and ask them to withdraw their troops and not interfere with our merger."

"You also said on the phone before that as long as the threat of the four major warlords is resolved, the senior leaders of your Northeast Army will not stop the Northeast Army from joining our Longmen, right?"

Zhang Hanqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, but Brother Ye, you said you were going to negotiate with the four major warlords, you were not kidding, were you?"

"The four warlords are coming aggressively now, and their main target is not the Northeast Army, but your Longmen."

"They prevented the Northeast Army from joining Longmen because they didn't want Longmen to become more powerful."

"It's too dangerous for you to go find them at this time. You might lose your life."

"Brother Ye, I advise you to think twice."

Obviously, Zhang Hanqing had the same idea as Xu Wenqiang, worried that Ye Yunfei might be killed by the four warlords if he went to meet them.

In fact, not only the two of them thought so, but everyone thought so.

Because that's the truth.

It is a foregone conclusion that the four warlords want to kill Ye Yunfei.

If Ye Yunfei goes to see them, he will definitely never come back.

Ye Yunfei said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have already made up my mind. In order for the Northeast Army to merge into Longmen, I must go to meet them."

"And it's not just me who has to go meet them, it's you who has to go meet them too."

"How about the two of us go meet the four warlords together?"

“I, Brother Ye, you are kidding.

Hearing that Ye Yunfei also wanted him to go to meet the four warlords, Zhang Hanqing immediately panicked and said, "I have no objection to you going to meet them alone, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to ask me to go with you."

"Those four old guys are all ruthless. If I go to meet them, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."

Ye Yunfei stared at Zhang Hanqing and said, "Hanqing, what are you afraid of? They are warlords, and you are also a warlord."

"They have an army, and you also have an army. In fact, your army is stronger than theirs."

"You have 300,000 soldiers under your command. Are they just there to eat? In terms of strength, none of them can surpass you. Why don't you dare to face them?"

"You have a large army at your disposal. How dare they do anything to you?"

This Zhang Hanqing is really too cowardly.

He himself is a top warlord, yet he is afraid of the other three warlords.

There are indeed reasons for the decline of the Northeast Army.

Zhang Hanqing said with a bitter face, "This is a different time. If it was just any one of the four families, I would certainly not be afraid."

"But now that the four of them are connected, it's another story."

"The situation in the Republic of China is now in chaos, and the warlords want to kill each other."

"If I go and get killed by them, it would be a very unclear death."

"So, Brother Ye, forget it. I won't go, and I advise you not to go either. It's too dangerous."

Ye Yunfei stared at Zhang Hanqing and said, "Hanqing, I must go, and you must go too. Have you forgotten what we agreed on in our previous negotiation? If your Northeast Army merges into Longmen, you, and the entire Northeast Army, must obey Longmen's orders."

"So this time, you have to follow me. Trust me, I can definitely guarantee your safety."

"I won't die, and you definitely won't die either."

Zhang Hanqing looked at Ye Yunfei blankly. He didn't expect that Ye Yunfei would actually order him to go.

He had indeed promised Ye Yunfei before that if the Northeast Army joined Longmen, they would have to obey Longmen's orders.

However, this matter is too dangerous.

Zhang Hanqing lowered his head, still a little hesitant.

Ye Yunfei looked at Zhang Hanqing and said, "Hanqing, you are now the commander of the Northeast Army, and I am the leader of Longmen. If you want to resolve the issues between the Northeast Army and Longmen, we two must step forward."

"So, the two of us must go this time. You should trust me. You are well aware of my abilities."

"Since I've said that I'll guarantee your safety, nothing will happen to you."

"And do you think I would risk my life?"

After listening to Ye Yunfei, Zhang Hanqing raised his head. He stared at Ye Yunfei for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Ye, since you said so, then I believe you. I will go with you. At worst, I will fight those four old guys."

"Besides, Peking is my territory. I have nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing Zhang Hanqing was determined, Ye Yunfei smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. With me here, nothing will happen."

"Get ready, and we'll set off."

Zhang Hanqing nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and tell my men, and we'll leave."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Zhang Hanqing went to prepare.

Ye Yunfei and Xu Wenqiang were the only ones left in the living room.

Xu Wenqiang had a frown on his face the whole time. When Ye Yunfei and Zhang Hanqing were talking, he didn't say a word but just listened quietly.

Now after listening to the two of them and Zhang Hanqing leaving, he looked at Ye Yunfei and said, "Brother Fei, are you really going?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Of course, I am here, and Zhang Hanqing has also been persuaded, so of course I have to go."

Xu Wenqiang nodded and said, "Okay then, Brother Fei, I support your decision."

"But I want to go with you..."
