The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 425 Trap
Cao Saner was stunned by his rhetorical question: "What? Yang Yuting, why don't you explain it clearly... When did I order Ziyu?"

The old fox had actually been listening to his grumbling until he said this. The Marshal was really disgusted and quickly snatched the receiver from his hand: "You are so good, Third Brother. It was obviously your Wu Ziyu who detained our stinky boy's goods."

"What are you doing now? Are you pretending to be stupid, Old Zhang? My Fengtian Army sent him a telegram, and I also sent him a UTC message in my personal name...but your old man didn't even bother to reply!"

"Why, I, Old Zhang Wen, have been here too, and I've taught you some martial arts lessons, and you're pretending to be my young wife and coming to mourn for me?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Oh my dear brother, what are you talking about? I feel even more wronged than Dou E... You can tell me how busy I am right now. Feng Huafu is always looking for trouble with me in Tianjin, and those who are training in Xiaozhan are always trying to carve up territory."

"Add to that those foreigners in Tianjin, and I'm already so exhausted that I can't even think about your brother's goods!"

When Cao Kun said this, Wu Peifu was actually next to him.

The man who was later known as "the first famous general of the Republic of China" opened his eyes wide and glared at him indignantly, as if to say: Why are you afraid of these barbarians outside the Great Wall?

"Oh, after hearing what you said, brother, did I really wrong you? Well, I have conveyed this message today, and asked Zi Yu to quickly release the goods of my brat!"

"Fuck you, you don't think they are all from Jilin, do you? Actually, most of them are from Liaoning."

"Alright, alright, I won't waste my time talking to you. I have something else to do... Oh, by the way, your Xiaoying has been diagnosed with pregnancy. Yesterday, I asked someone to take her to the best foreign hospital in Fengtian and had a thorough check-up - well, everything is fine, everything is fine!"

When Cao Kun heard that his precious girl was pregnant, his face froze again. He asked about the situation again and again. After confirming that she was treated with great courtesy and that the Hai family treated her very well, he thanked them a few words and said that he would ask her mother to visit Jilin Prefecture in a while.

The moment Cao Kun hung up the phone with a smile on his face, his face suddenly froze into ice.

Wu Peifu quickly waved his hand to send away the attendant in the room, and said in a low voice: "Third Master, I think the equipment seized in Qinhuangdao is not simple."

Cao Kun gritted his teeth.

In fact, he didn't completely deceive the little guy - Old Duan and Xiao Xu were driven away, but the struggle in the capital was far from over.

He was extremely worried and was discussing the next move with several aides today. Spies in Jinzhou and Rehe sent news one after another, saying that the Jilin governor was leading his elite troops by military train to the south and would arrive at Shanhaiguan at the latest the day after tomorrow morning.

You know, after driving away Old Duan, Luanzhou and other territories near Shanhaiguan all belong to him!
He hurriedly called Wu Peifu to discuss the matter, but he did not expect that his most powerful general would say something even more powerful:

It's my fault!

After hearing his words, Cao Kun's eyes darkened and he quickly came to complain first... In case the two sides really fought, he would have an excuse.

However, Wu Peifu was quite disdainful, especially since he had made his mark in the Zhi-An War. He was so arrogant that he even ignored Feng Huafu, let alone took Cao Saner's words seriously.

"Why do you need to take this brat outside the pass seriously?"

Wu Peifu didn't take Jiang Cheng seriously at all, and even sneered three times, "But the Jilin Army's hasty entry into the pass confirms my previous thoughts..."

"This batch of equipment from Qinhuangdao must be extraordinary! Most likely it's the same as that time." Before he finished speaking, Cao Kun got angry and said, "Don't bother with this. Just listen to me and release all the people and things that have been detained!"

"Don't mention that Zhang the Youngster has personally inquired about this matter. His Jiang family is no longer what it used to be! One is the governor of Rehe, and the other is the boss of Jilin. If you go to provoke them, won't you cause trouble for me... Hey, Ziyu! Where are you going?"

Wu Peifu had no patience to listen to the boss's words, so he turned around and left:
He is such a coward! We will just confiscate a batch of his equipment. If he really dares to act recklessly, he will never come back!

This man was resentful of Jiang Cheng for teasing him last time in Shanhaiguan. Moreover, when he heard that the guy named Jiang had deployed some unknown armored vehicle during the internal strife outside the pass, this Jade Marshal was even more envious.

After the task was completed, was there any reason to sit back? Wu Peifu immediately ordered the Shanhaiguan front to be on alert, and to give the Fengtian Army a good beating if they dared to force their way in.

When Jiang Cheng was heading south, he used the relationship between Yang Yuting and Hai Pingchuan to gather information along the way.

When they learned that Wu Peifu was preparing to launch his offensive, several young officers became excited.

Let’s fight. Are you really afraid of your Zhi army?
What you need when you recruit soldiers on the battlefield is to charge into battle. No matter who they are or what they want to do, just fight!
Jiang Cheng deliberately asked Yang Yuting to pay attention to the thoughts of several high-ranking officials of the Zhi army——

Jiang Cheng and others became even more excited when they learned that Cao Saner was trying to avoid suspicion and had no intention of fighting this war at all.

After getting off the military train, the troops headed straight for Shanhaiguan. Upon learning that the Fengtian Army was going to force their way through the pass, several nearby villages had already been completely scared away and no one was left.

The one fighting in the front was the always brave Guo Xipeng. However, his troops did not find any trace of the Zhi army along the route. It was obvious that Wu Peifu had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with them here.

"Don't worry, we will go to Qinhuangdao in a swaggering manner, and we won't encounter any obstacles along the way."

After seeing the situation of entering the pass, Jiang Cheng was more and more certain of Wu Peifu's idea...

If the Zhi army sent out troops to intercept them as soon as they entered the pass, it would most likely alarm the reinforcements in Jinzhou and even Rehe and other places, and it would become a serious matter at that time.

"His plan is to surround us with heavy troops after we meet up with my uncle. After all, we still have to escort the goods when the time comes, and it will be easier to attack if the troops are restrained."

Jiang Cheng didn't take this trap seriously. Instead, he looked quite relaxed. "We'll do what we have to do... The road to Qinhuangdao is still not open. Let's go and help Uncle get it through!"

Jiang Cheng was right as he guessed all the way south, and he didn't encounter any obstacles at all.

Not only that, the lax defenses in various places even make people suspect that the Central Plains is simply an uninhabited area that can be wiped out by any random troop.

But both Jiang Cheng and any of his officers knew very well that this apparent calm would not last long.

Sure enough, when the troops successfully arrived near Qinhuangdao, a tentative battle broke out.

Leading this small force was Ye Yiming, the regiment commander under Wu Peifu.
