After he left, he scratched his hair while standing at the door. He glanced at Huo San and Huo Qi who were standing together and talking with some distress, and said unhappily: "The Marshal said that his wife should return to Shanghai as soon as possible. You should also persuade her."

Huo San looked up at him and said, "Madam is determined. Whatever she says is true. Even the Marshal can't change it. How can we persuade her? The disaster in Green City is getting worse. It is said that people along the way have eaten human flesh. The situation is so serious that Madam can't leave Green City at this time. I just hope that the rice seed plan can be a complete success and give the people of Guangliang Province a way to survive."

Huo Qi had a blank expression on his face and did not respond. He stood next to Huo San like a wooden man.

Huo Er was not concerned about the disaster in Guangliang Province, but said solemnly: "The Japanese army in Tongcheng is actively preparing for war, and the Four Elephants Party is also ready to move. I don't know what the Marshal's plan is. It is urgent to open up the exchange channel between Fengjin and Shanghai." "During this period, the Four Elephants Party has also been sending people to contact Fengjin. I don't know what they are thinking."

"Madam is going to give birth in a few months. Will you go to Shanghai or Fengjin?"

Huo Er's clear face was filled with worry. When they heard his words, Huo San and Huo Qi's eyelids twitched.

"Okay, the Marshal and his wife have their own ideas, why should we worry about them? If you have the time, why don't you go to the city gate and take a look. There have been several riots recently, and many people have died. It's all trouble."

Huo San frowned and shook his head. Now that he had expanded his territory, he didn't have as much free time as when he was in Fengjin.

Huo Er also sighed and strode away.

Jiangcheng, the Jiang family's official residence Qinglu on the south bank.

The place which used to be quiet was now crowded with people. Among them was a thin man with a pale face and a lingering pale and depressed aura. It was Zheng Ke who had escaped from Shanghai by chance.

Jiang Ruiqing sat at the top, his hands folded on his abdomen, his face showing no emotion.

News has been flying all over the newspapers during this period. It is impossible for the Four Elephants Party to say that they have no ideas about Shanghai and even Fengjin, but how to put such ideas into action is a difficult problem, so today's meeting is held.

As Jiang Ruiqing's right-hand man and secretary-general of the Four Elephants Party, Chen Lei naturally has a lot of say.

He swept his eyes over the people present, fixed his gaze on Zheng Ke, and then said in a deep voice: "Commissioner, we can't let this go on any longer. Huo Zhan has been making frequent moves recently. If we really let him connect Fengjin and Shanghai, plus Guangliang Province, half of Kyushu will fall into his hands. By that time, our Four Elephants Party will really have no room for maneuver."

The people present remained silent, and no one spoke in agreement.

Everyone knew that they couldn't continue to let Huo Zhan go, but was it up to them to decide now?

Zheng Ke was speechless and said, "The Huo family army has won battles one after another, and it is now at its peak. They have defeated the Japanese army several times and achieved such fierce results in naval warfare, which they are not good at. The people of Jiuzhou almost regard the Fengjin Huo family army as their savior. If we attack them now, it is tantamount to roasting ourselves on the fire."

"Of course, the most important thing is, are we really confident that we can defeat the Huo family army?"

Chen Lei was immediately displeased when he heard this, and said sternly: "Commander Zheng! I think you have gone to Shanghai to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige. Huo Zhan is only in his twenties, and it was just luck that he was able to defeat the Japanese army! It was the old fox Huo Kunpeng who was behind the instructions. We just need to go straight to Huo Zhan's lair and capture Huo Kunpeng, what else do we have to worry about?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ke sneered: "Secretary Chen is right. You only need to wave your pen a few times, and we soldiers will have to charge forward. In the end, it won't be you who will die. It's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist."

After saying this, when Chen Lei's face flushed and he was about to refute, Zheng Ke said again: "You also said that Huo Kunpeng is an old fox and a war madman. We want to capture him in Fengjin. Think about it, is it possible?"

"Let's not talk about whether we can break through Fengjin's defenses. Let's say we really capture Huo Kunpeng. I'm afraid he will take the explosives and die with us before we can capture him. Is he the kind of person who would surrender without a fight?"

Although Zheng Ke's spirit was damaged, he couldn't help but retort when he heard Chen Lei's words.

Chen Lei's face turned pale and blue, but he knew that what Zheng Ke said made sense.

He slammed the table and said sternly, "From what you said, we are going to ignore Fengjin? Let Huo Zhan enjoy his glory and finally ride on the necks of our Four Elephants Party to shit and piss?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ke kept silent and closed his eyes.

No matter what others think, he has given up the idea of ​​provoking Huo Zhan. The trip to Shanghai was beyond his imagination. If he couldn't get the upper hand in the naval battle he was best at, what else could he fight with? Life?

In times of war, life is the least valuable thing.

At the beginning, the Japanese army was pressing forward step by step. In order to protect Tongcheng, the Four Elephants Party paid a million lives, but what happened in the end? Didn’t they still lose one after another? In the end, they could only stay in the rear area and had no way to deal with the Japanese.

Suddenly, someone said, "Isn't Huo Zhan married?"

Zheng Ke opened his eyes and looked at the person who was speaking, frowning and said, "That woman has been staying with Huo Zhan, do you want to do something to her?"

The person who was speaking was named Chang Liao, and he was also an army division commander of the Four Elephants Party.

Chang Liao laughed after hearing what Zheng Ke said: "According to the information from our spies, Yun Chu has left Shanghai again."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present couldn't help but change, and they all looked at Jiang Ruiqing, wondering what he was thinking. If he really wanted to curb Huo Zhan, capturing his woman was also a way.

Chen Lei frowned and said, "I discussed this with the chairman half a year ago, but Yun Chu is not a good person either. She is ruthless and cruel. She can kill anyone who has helped her. How do you want to get close to her?"

"Get close to her? No, we can attack Green City directly! Now most of the Huo family's troops are in Shanghai and Fengjin. Guangliang Province is hit by frequent disasters. Huo Zhan will definitely be unable to do what he wants. Sooner or later, he will abandon Green City."

"Yun Chu is currently helping refugees in Green City, just to gain some good reputation for Huo Zhan. It's a useless move."

Hearing this, Chen Lei's heart moved, and he murmured: "I didn't expect that she would return to Green City again."

The disaster in Guangliang Province is very serious. Even if you don’t know about it deliberately, you know that the place is now a hot potato.

If Yun Chu was really in Green City, he might be able to break into it.

Chen Lei looked at Jiang Ruiqing, wanting to see what he was thinking, and asked, "Commissioner, what do you think?"

Jiang Ruiqing opened his eyes, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were deep. He said: "No, we go north."

"Northward?" Chen Lei was stunned, then frowned and said, "Yanzhou is just a wild place. Although those underground party members are also ruthless, their threat is not as great as Fengjin. Chairman, are we making a fuss by attacking Yanzhou?"

"Huo Zhan is now focused on dealing with the Japanese, and his relationship with the United Party is ambiguous. Yun Chu is quite caring towards the United Party. Although Yanzhou is poor, it is still a good place. Perhaps there will be some surprises."
