    "Brother Zheng, according to my humble opinion, the leadership of Beiyang began with Li Zhongtang, was culminated in President Yuan Da, and was inherited by Prime Minister Duan. Do you agree with this view?" Wang Geng said calmly.

    "Everyone in the world says this. I hate that Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, and all the military leaders in the south are unwilling to face this reality! Who is the current leader of Beiyang, Prime Minister She Duan? The two who created the republic, two men who are gentle and dedicated to the country, are Li Yuanhong and  Is it comparable to a guy like Feng Guozhang who always looks after power and money?"

    Xu Shuzheng nodded and said bitterly, obviously having a very bad impression of Li Yuanhong and Feng Guozhang.

    Duan Qirui, who was reviewing official documents above, obviously noticed something. He raised his head and saw that Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng were sitting side by side and whispering. The old man smiled slightly. It was obvious that Wang Geng had the ability to get along with anyone.  People like Zheng who are not easy to get close to are also troubled.

    Next, Wang Geng continued to whisper to Xu Shuzheng, "I think Prime Minister Duan has contributed to the creation of a republic, and he is not as keen on monarchy and being an emperor as President Yuan. Does Brother Zheng agree with this?"

    While Xu Shuzheng warned himself not to be led by Wang Geng, he nodded involuntarily, thinking that what Wang Geng said was absolutely right. If Duan Qirui has imperial thoughts and wants to restore the monarchy, I, Xu Shuzheng, will be the first.  They jumped up to rebel against him. Of course, they couldn't say this in front of Wang Geng.

    Then Wang Geng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zheng, I think that now Beiyang and Anhui are standing side by side, with Feng Clan following closely behind. And among the Prime Minister's Anhui Clique, Brother Zheng has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge, and is the best among all the others."  He is both civil and military, and is the most trusted and close confidant of the Prime Minister. He has made the greatest contributions, made the greatest contributions, and is the most loyal. But is this so?"

    Xu Shuzheng's old face turned red, and while warning himself not to be overwhelmed by Wang Geng's obsession, he still nodded involuntarily, thinking that Wang Geng's vision of this Western pastry is really a bit bright, but he also knows that I, Xu Shuzheng, am a member of the Anhui clan.  A transcendent and unique position above all others!

    Wang Geng thought to himself, Damn, I¡¯m not fooling you, how can you, the Five Mysteries and Three Taoists, gain a foothold in the great situation of stability and unity!

    The guy took a puff of cigarette and drank some coffee, then continued to lower his voice and said,

    "Brother Zheng Zheng, there are two prime ministers this year who are fifty. In the past, I heard that President Yuan Yuan said when he deceived Feng Guozhang that the founding monarchs of all dynasties basically reached the top around the age of fifty. Our current Republic of China is not a country at all.  It was the Warring States Period with countless military divisions!

    If China can really be unified under the banner of the Prime Minister, to put it bluntly, among the people currently under the Prime Minister¡¯s command, who is more qualified to be the successor of the Prime Minister than Brother Youzheng?  "

    Wang Geng looked at Xu Shuzheng with unblinking eyes, as if he was having an intimate conversation with Fa Xiao and looked extremely sincere.

    Xu Shuzheng's ears buzzed as if there was a spring thunder. He didn't expect that Wang Geng, a guy who might be his biggest competitor in the future, would make such a heart-to-heart gesture when they met for the first time when they first arrived!

    "If you hadn't shown up, who would have dared to say that I, Xu Shuzheng, was not Duan Qirui's number one confidant and successor. Now that you, Wang Geng, are here, things may have changed. Xu Shuzheng really couldn't figure out what Wang Geng wanted to do!"

    ¡°You know that I am Lao Duan¡¯s successor and you still come to this muddy water?  No, looking at this guy just brazenly saying in front of everyone in the conference room that he wants to be the deputy army chief with me, this guy is by no means a low-key master, don't fall for this guy's deception, Xu Shuzheng warned himself in his heart.  .

    "Wang Geng, what on earth do you want to say? Don't blindly feed me the soup, it's better to speak frankly and honestly!" Xu Shuzheng took a long puff of cigarette and lowered his voice to Wang Geng. He felt that he was being led by Wang Geng like this again.  Let's go, I might actually get snaked in by this guy.

    "Brother Zheng, Taoyuan sworn brotherhood requires Liu, Guan, and Zhang. You alone can control the Anhui world. No matter how capable you are, you may not be able to do it. If you miss the great cause of unification, how can you be so lucky?  Every family is happy and every family is sad!¡±

    Wang Geng looked at Xu Shuzheng sincerely and said word by word,

    "I came to join the Prime Minister, firstly because the Prime Minister's personality and moral character are in line with my pursuits, secondly because the Prime Minister's policy of unifying China by force allows me to be useful, and thirdly because the Prime Minister has a great successor like you.  As for my own plan, I am loyal to the Prime Minister first, and I also hope to be your greatest help!"

    Xu Shuzheng squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Geng in front of him, chewing on the flavor of this guy's words, trying to decide whether it was true or false!  Could it be that if something happens to the Prime Minister, you, Wang Geng, will continue to follow me, Xu Shuzheng?  Xu Shuzheng didn't ask this question, but he felt in his heart that this was what Wang Geng was implying.

    "AnotherBrother, a lonely sun cannot give birth to a lonely yin, and a lonely yin cannot grow. The Prime Minister's Anhui clique now does not have too many talents, but too few like-minded comrades. I, Wang Geng, am rich in the United States. I came back to help you and the Prime Minister achieve their goals.  The ideal of unifying China and establishing a true republic did not come back for power and wealth!  "

    "Is this true?" Xu Shuzheng's eyes flashed. At this moment, he had to admit that he was moved by Wang Geng's words.

    "Brother Zheng Zheng, you have admitted that in both Anhui and Beiyang circles, everyone says that you are arrogant and do not take anyone seriously. You are aloof and not easy to get close to. You look down on your colleagues in the group. In my opinion, there are  The big reason is that you are indeed too good, and you have a mysophobia in terms of morality and ability, which means that you cannot tolerate those incompetent people wandering around in front of you, so you will be dismissive and hostile to them!  "

    Wang Geng¡¯s analysis can be said to have hit Xu Shuzheng¡¯s weakness, especially when he pointed out that Xu Shuzheng has the moral ability and mysophobia. Hearing this, the Army Under-Secretary sighed and murmured,

    "I also know that Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng will urge him to do it, but seeing these incompetent guys just making money and fighting for power all day long, I don't get angry at all!"

    "Brother Youzheng, the Prime Minister does not have too many helpers, but too few. Your and my personalities complement each other perfectly. My coming to join the Prime Minister is by no means a 1-1 subtraction question. I hope to fill in the gaps and do a good job for you and the Prime Minister."  As your helper, if you continue to be a bad person, I will be a good person for you, so that the Anhui clique will be more united than it is now, instead of becoming more divided!"

    The bewitchment in Wang Geng¡¯s voice gradually melted the ice in Xu Shuzheng¡¯s heart.

    "One is a red face, and the other is a bad face" Xu Shuzheng murmured.

    "Yes! Brother Youzheng, you see, if someone in the Anhui Clique offends you, he will have nowhere to go and can only seek refuge with forces outside the Anhui Clique. Everyone knows that the Prime Minister will not give up on you and choose someone else.  Now I'm here, I'll be your sweetheart, so that these guys who have been reprimanded, suppressed and suppressed by you, I'll comfort and win them over for you, so that they feel that the Anhui Clique is not your brother Zheng's one-word hall, and they will be willing to continue to stay for you.  Prime minister works!¡±

    Wang Geng had a serious look on his face, but he said in his heart that Xu Shuzheng was really not easy to fool, but looking at his expression at this moment, he finally looked a little moved by what he said.

    "Wang Geng, your calculations are pretty good. Do you want to recruit everyone to fight against me?"  Bai Lian, maybe it would be much easier to sing a one-man show by myself?

    Xu Shuzheng is a talented and capable person, but in such a big country, he has to manage the State Council and the Ministry of War for Duan Qirui, deal with the military governors to consolidate Duan Qirui's basic power, organize and win over parliamentarians, and  He had to negotiate with the great powers, and he also had to scheming with Li Yuanhong's presidential office. He was really as exhausted as Zhuge Liang and had to do everything by himself.

    "Brother Youzheng, I am as honest as the bright moon. The Anhui Clique cannot live without the Prime Minister, and it cannot live without you. But with me, the Anhui Clique will be stronger, more united, and more powerful! If you really want to be that  To prepare for the war and to supervise the training of troops, I am willing to take on the responsibility of deputy minister of the Ministry of War for you! This is my sincerity!"

    Wang Geng said with a genuine smile, but his eyes were as clear as ever.

    Xu Shuzheng looked at Wang Geng and laughed. If Wang Geng's heart-to-heart talk and confession did not move Xu Shuzheng, it would not be true. If Xu Shuzheng was convinced, it would be an underestimation of this guy's wisdom!

    "Wang Geng, people are doing it, and God is watching. Since the old man has appointed you to supervise the preparations for the war, it depends on your own performance. Although I, Xu Shuzheng, are arrogant, I still care about real talents. You may be my greatest talent in the future.  opponent, but today, I am willing to take such a gamble with the old man!¡±

    "I will continue to sing my white face, and you can try singing your red face. I hope that everything you told me today is true more than you yourself! I will watch you carefully for the Prime Minister! If  If you don't mean what you say in the future, don't blame Xu Shuzheng for not talking about our friendship with Jiangsu fellows!"

    As Xu Shuzheng spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Wang Geng also stretched out his hand to hold the other person's hand tightly. The two temporarily reached a preliminary consensus on win-win cooperation.

    This scene was caught by the Prime Minister who just raised his head from his desk. Duan Qirui felt happy!  This Wang Geng is so eloquent!
