Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 299 Zhang Xueliang's version of "Longzhong Consultation"

"What does Bingwen think?"

"Wait."

"What do you mean?"

“Wait for the right opportunity, accumulate strength, clarify the main contradictions, and unite all forces that can be united”

Bao Guowei's rapid-fire answers confused Zhang Xueliang.

He had received a good education since childhood, so it was impossible for him to be illiterate, but he was still confused and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's anxious look, he was like an ant on a hot pan.

It was obvious at first glance that he was addicted to opium and urgently needed to "wake up".

Bao Guowei said at the right time.

"I can stay here. If you feel unwell, you can go and rest for a while. I will wait here."

Zhang Xueliang bowed apologetically as if he had been pardoned, and went to the outer hall.

Immediately afterwards, a puff of smoke filled the air.

Bao Guowei felt a little emotional. It was true that half of Teachers' Selected Works could rule the world. Just picking out some sentences from it was enough to make Zhang Xueliang lose his composure.

No wonder later generations called this anthology “the best dragon-slaying technique of ancient and modern times.”

A few minutes later, Zhang Xueliang came back like a different person, and his eyes gradually became clear.

"I'm really sorry. I must find time to change this bad habit of mine."

Zhang Xueliang was also a ruthless person.

In that era, smoking opium was a means for the powerful and wealthy to show off their status. Even in Zhang Xueliang's family, there were many people who smoked opium.

He tried many times to quit smoking opium, but each time ended in failure. Finally, he found a doctor, who made three rules for him, and only then did he succeed in quitting opium.

Although the process was bumpy, in contrast, many modern people cannot even give up their mobile phones.

Young Marshal Zhang Xueliang is indeed a heroic figure.

Bao Guowei thought about whether he should help him quit smoking opium, but it was not appropriate to ask for help first, so he decided to wait and see.
Let's talk about important things.

"Mr. Bingwen, please continue. I am all ears. Don't call me Young Marshal. Just call me Brother Hanqing."

After several conversations, Zhang Xueliang felt that he had met Bao Guowei too late and realized that this man was a genius.

Bao Guowei was not reserved and spoke directly.

"I wonder if Brother Hanqing has ever heard of this saying, which was a nine-word maxim given by the scholar Zhu Sheng to Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king! "

Zhang Xueliang thought about it and realized that he definitely knew this sentence, but he didn't quite understand it.

"Why?"

Bao Guowei smiled and said, "It's just an analogy to make it easier for Brother Hanqing to understand. In view of the current situation, I personally propose three directions of analysis."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Zhang Xueliang sat up straight, thinking that this Bao Bingwen really had something. When he talked about national affairs, it was like he was telling a story, which aroused people's curiosity.

Bao Guowei dipped his hand in the tea and spoke while gesturing on the coffee table.

"In fact, the current situation is in the hands of Brother Hanqing. If Brother Hanqing can make a decision early, the world's situation will definitely change because of you.

First, the war has now reached a fever pitch. It is not wise for the government to start a war at this time. It will only consume the Chinese people themselves, and it is an unjust war. "

It is now early July. At the end of May, Chiang Kai-shek’s fierce battle with the Northwestern Army ended in Chang’s defeat, and he finally retreated to the south of Luohe.

So a few days ago, Chiang Kai-shek was just pretending to be confident in order to maintain public support.

At the end of June, that is, last week, the situation on the battlefield began to change. Chiang Kai-shek sent General Long Yun from Yunnan Province to repel the Gui army in the rear. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had to retreat back to Guizhou.

The two sides went back and forth and fought fiercely.

Chiang Kai-shek's National Army was defeated badly, and the local coalition forces were not much inferior either. The two sides were like weaklings fighting each other.

"So, under this circumstance, whoever the Fengtian Army supports will win, and what Brother Hanqing should do is not to rush to take sides, but to wait for the opportunity and seek the greatest benefit!"

Zhang Xueliang didn't care about the first sentence because that was information he knew, but the second sentence was the essence.

Zhang Xueliang was originally in a dilemma, but after Bao Guowei said this, his eyes suddenly brightened up, and he felt that the fog of the situation had been cleared. He was still holding a pipe in his hand, and in excitement he slapped it on his palm, which hurt him.

"What a person who is not in a hurry to take sides. Brother Bingwen, your words are worth a thousand gold!"

Zhang Xueliang was generous with his praise. It was not that he did not think of this point, but knowing it was one thing and being able to analyze it was another.

There are thousands of truths in the world, but those who can analyze and use them effectively are the scarce talents.

And there seems to be one right in front of me.

But it wasn't over yet. Bao Guowei held down his hand, signaling the other party not to disturb him from "showing off".

In fact, according to his historical knowledge, Zhang Xueliang in history was "waiting for an opportunity to act."

Now seeing that the other party is excited, it seems that I have made this decision in advance.

Strike while the iron is hot, Bao Guowei continued.

“Secondly, to supplement the above point, this war is essentially a struggle for interests and control.

Both sides are in a difficult situation now. The Kuomintang government is under tremendous pressure from the defeat. In order to defeat the Allied Forces, Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate to use money to bribe the Southern Alliance in order to seek victory.

The coalition forces were even more miserable. They were almost killed by poverty and were defeated one by one by Chiang Kai-shek.

In the long run, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely have the upper hand, but the situation is still unclear, and rushing to choose sides can easily lead to problems."

Hearing this, Zhang Xueliang became a little jealous. As Chiang Kai-shek owned a large family in the southeast and had the support of the United States, he was not short of money for the time being.

He couldn't help but sneer.

"He is always good at making money. He has a businessman named Kong Xiangxi and a shrewd Song Ziwen. He also said that as long as someone wants to be an official or wants money, he has a way."

To be honest, when he thought of this, Zhang Xueliang himself was also tempted.

Chiang Kai-shek also promised to give him 40 million silver dollars in military expenses. If this money was received, it would be much better than any empty position.

"The Nationalist government has money, but it is not peaceful internally, with many factions. Chiang Kai-shek has to win if he wants to maintain stability. That is why he uses money to win over all parties and is eager to win."

Bao Guowei laughed at himself.

"If not for this, I would have no place to stay in the country now. Brother Hanqing would either see me in prison or abroad."

Zhang Xueliang naturally knew about the previous turmoil. He also liked the work "The Old Man and the Sea" very much, and even secretly helped the protesting student group.

Said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Bingwen. He won't dare to touch you."

I don’t know if he was promising anything.

Later, Zhang Xueliang also expressed his emotion.

"The coalition forces are united in appearance but divided in spirit. If they could unite as one, Chiang Kai-shek would have been out of the picture long ago."

Naturally, he was clear about the situation.

But when he thought of this, Zhang Xueliang finally figured it out and raised his questions.

"Bingwen, aren't you asking me to act like a mean person and not care about my own business in order to profit from it? If the government and the coalition forces fight, it will consume our national strength, and won't it allow others to take advantage of our situation?"

Hearing these words, Bao Guowei almost couldn't hold it in anymore. Xiao Liuzi, you know how to "take advantage of the opportunity".

If the Fengtian Army had not entered the pass, the North would have been short of troops, and it would be uncertain whether Xiaori could launch a war next year.

Coupled with the policy of non-resistance, a complete industrial zone was left to Xiaoyu, and all facilities and equipment belonged to Xiaoyu.

Subsequent wars will be so difficult to fight.

From this point of view, Zhang Xueliang is a definite war criminal!
"Bingwen? Bingwen? Did I say something wrong?"

“That’s right and wrong.”

"?"

"Because our enemy is not inside, but outside."

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes and said.

"This is the third point. We have more important enemies to deal with. This battle is related to the survival of the nation!"
