Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

On January 7, Tao Yunong led a convoy to receive the diplomatic delegation in Jingshui County.

Duan Chenglian, who was in the delegation, narrowed his eyes when he saw the huge convoy. He said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Didn't they say that Nanshan Province is in poverty?"

"This huge fleet of trucks is hard to come by even in the capital. Secretary Wang, this Francis An is not easy to deal with."

The middle-aged man was Li Bingqing's secretary general Wang Fuyuan, who contacted Fang Jian on behalf of Li Bingqing. Wang Fuyuan glanced at Duan Chenglian calmly, frowned, and did not speak.

After both sides informed each other, Tao Yunong came to the middle-aged man with a few soldiers and introduced himself: "I am Tao Yunong, the director of Commander Fang's security department. What are your names?"

Although the Northern Government appointed Fang Jian as the military governor, the official letter of appointment had not yet been issued. In front of the delegation, Tao Yunong still addressed him as the commander.

Besides, Tao Yunong felt that calling him commander was much more convenient than calling him governor.

"Director of the Security Department? What's his rank?" Duan Chenglian asked before the middle-aged man could reply.

Tao Yunong and Wang Fuyuan frowned at the same time, looking displeased.

Wang Fuyuan represented Li Bingqing and was the head of this delegation. Before he even spoke, Duan Chenglian took the lead, showing that he did not take Wang Fuyuan seriously.

Tao Yunong heard a sense of arrogance in Duan Chenglian's tone, as if he doubted whether his status was high enough to receive him.

This made Tao Yunong very dissatisfied, but he did not lose his temper. Instead, he looked straight at Wang Fuyuan, wanting to know who was in charge of this delegation.

Wang Fuyuan shook hands with Tao Yunong warmly and said, "Hello, Director Tao. I am the Secretary General of President Li, Wang Fuyuan."

"Hello, Secretary-General Wang." Tao Yunong greeted with a smile.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, as if they had deliberately forgotten about Duan Chenglian, which made Duan Chenglian feel very aggrieved and he almost got angry.

"oops."

After a while, Wang Fuyuan seemed to have just realized what was happening. He pointed to Duan Chenglian beside him and said, "I forgot to introduce him to Director Tao. This is Prime Minister Duan's son, Duan Chenglian, who is currently working in the capital."

"Don't underestimate Mr. Duan because he is already a major general. His future is limitless."

Although Wang Fuyuan was introducing him enthusiastically, as the head of intelligence, how could Tao Yunong tell that Wang Fuyuan was deliberately embarrassing Duan Chenglian? Didn't he see the smile on the corner of his mouth?

Of course, Tao Yunong did not dare to be negligent. Since he was ordered to welcome the delegation, he would not rashly offend anyone in the delegation.

"Hello, Major General Duan." Tao Yunong extended his right hand to Duan Chenglian and greeted him warmly.

"Humph."

Faced with Tao Yunong's enthusiasm and outstretched right hand, Duan Chenglian snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring him.

This attitude not only made Tao Yunong look ugly and furious, but also made Wang Fuyuan next to him very embarrassed and a little angry.

Originally, Wang Fuyuan tolerated Duan Chenglian all the way because he was the prime minister's son.

But the President is trying to win over Francis Xavier. Why are you putting on airs here and embarrassing the other side? Are you trying to make the President and Francis Xavier hostile to each other?

Although he was angry, Wang Fuyuan did not lose his temper. Instead, he apologized and said, "Director Tao, Mr. Duan must be tired. Please bear with me. You will still be the one leading the way."

"Okay, Secretary Wang, we'll drive the truck and load the supplies you brought onto it." Facing Wang Fuyuan, Tao Yunong put on a smiling face, as if he didn't care about Duan Chenglian's embarrassment.

Wang Fuyuan did not object. Under his command, Zhang Sheng led the soldiers of the guard battalion to move the supplies loaded on nearly a hundred mule carts onto trucks.

Tao Yunong brought Wang Fuyuan and Duan Chenglian to the front of the car, opened the door and stretched out his hand, saying, "Secretary Wang, Mr. Duan, please come in."

Seeing the car, Wang Fuyuan was surprised, while Duan Chenglian got in with a curious look on his face.

At present, Daxin has just been established for eight years, and there are not many cars in the entire Daxin. Wang Fuyuan was surprised that there were cars in Nanshan.

"Director Tao, your Nanshan is pretty good. Cars of this quality are rare even in the capital." Duan Chenglian tried the seat cushions and the layout of the car and exclaimed.

Even though there are hundreds of cars in the capital, none of them can compare to this one in terms of interior decoration or seat design.

This made Duan Chenglian's little thoughts come alive again.

Tao Yunong smiled slightly and said perfunctorily: "These were all imported from abroad at a high price by our commander."

"Secretary Wang, please come this way." After closing the car door for Duan Chenglian, Tao Yunong took Wang Fuyuan to another car and led him in.

This time, they came to welcome the delegation with not only eighty trucks, but also five cars.

Fang Guoxuan allocated ten of the thirty cars to the Intelligence Department. This time, Tao Yunong drove out half of them when he came to pick someone up.

Duan Chenglian was a little confused when the car door was closed, but when he saw the two people getting into another car, Duan Chenglian's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Wang Fuyuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Duan Chenglian was arrogant, but there were times when he was humiliated.

Tao Yunong sat next to Wang Fuyuan and after closing the car door, he introduced him, "Secretary Wang, this is Zhou Zhuowu, the vice governor of Nanshan Province."

"Hello, Secretary-General Wang." Zhou Zhuowu, who was sitting on the vice-chairman's seat, turned around and greeted Wang Fuyuan, who then started a conversation with him enthusiastically.

Tao Yunong instructed the spy outside the car, "Let a company of soldiers protect us first, and Commander Zhang will escort the supplies from behind."

"Yes." The little spy immediately communicated according to Tao Yunong's instructions.

Soon, four cars, accompanied by eight trucks, drove towards Changhuan City. The remaining task of transporting the supplies was handed over to Zhang Sheng, who would not let the delegation members wait here.

Two hours after Tao Yunong and others arrived in Changhuan, Zhang Sheng also arrived in Changhuan with the rest of the convoy.

After resting for one night in Changhuan, the convoy continued to head towards Nanling early the next morning.

After entering Xinyuan, Wang Fuyuan said meaningfully: "General Fang is really young and promising. There is no such road even in the capital."

"When the commander first came to Xinyuan, he focused on the transformation of Xinyuan, which led to the current results." Tao Yunong lied.

Wang Fuyuan laughed and did not believe what Tao Yunong said. At the same time, he felt a little worried.

Fang Ji'an was only the third branch of the Fang family who was excluded. He had only received letters from the Fang family for more than seven months. How did he manage to defeat Ma Jincen?

Moreover, the other party not only has a large truck fleet, but also can carry out large-scale construction in Xinyuan County. Wang Fuyuan does not believe that there is no one behind the other party.

As for who is behind the other party, whether he can cooperate with Li Bingqing, whether the cooperation is beneficial or... these all require him to consider carefully.
