On the morning of the day, it was confirmed that the South Korean army had abandoned its counterattack against Qingzhou, and Pei Chengyi was the capital.

The 77th Army's capture of Qingzhou was not only the "final work" of the third battle, but also beyond the scope of the third battle.

When she arrived at the air force base in the suburbs of the capital, Pei Chengyi met Xiang Yinghui who came to pick him up.

The Chief of Staff took the time to pick him up at the airport, which was because he looked down on Pei Chengyi and had other reasons. Without further questions, Pei Chengyi knew the purpose of Xiang Yinghui coming.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau has determined your judgment, and the 5th Army of the South Korean Army has no intention of going north."

Pei Chengyi lit up, took the cigarette handed over by Xiang Yinghui, and said, "I also asked Ling Yunxiao that the reconnaissance forces of the 77th Army did not find any signs of the Korean army heading north."

"How is Ling Yunxiao's situation?"

"Fortunately, it's such a big deal to get a little skin in the battle."

Xiang Yinghui smiled bitterly and said, "I said back then that this kid is a wolf and a wild wolf. If we put him out of the cage, we will be the first to be unlucky."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and looked at Xiang Ying with inquiring eyes.

"I have been called by someone these two days." Xiang Yinghui took a few puffs of cigarettes and said, "Who is not good to provoke? I just got into Su Jinhui. The battle in Seoul has not ended yet?"

"No. Hui is still on the front line."

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "That's good."

"What did Su Jinhui say?"

"Say?" Xiang Yinghui glanced at Pei Chengyi and laughed. "Do you think Su Jinhui made a report to me?"

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment and then smiled awkwardly.

"Su Jinhui is not that kind of person. He really wants to deal with Ling Yunxiao. I must be the last person to know." Xiang Yinghui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But those generals were holding on to this matter, and some even suggested that Ling Yunxiao should be handed over to the military court."

Pei Chengyi immediately became excited.

"Don't worry, I won't let others take Ling Yunxiao away from me." Xiang Yinghui smiled coldly and said, "We all know what the gang generals think. Ling Yunxiao is indeed a little capable and has a brilliant mind. At the last moment, he fought a beautiful battle, so I could speak for him in front of the head of state.

”

"Has the head of state asked about this?"

Xiang Yinghui nodded and took a few sips of cigarettes.

Seeing that the Chief of Staff did not intend to raise the head of state more, Pei Chengyi did not ask too much.

The "those generals" that Xiang Yinghui mentioned refer to generals who came from the "general family" like Su Jinhui. If the "young and strong" faction" are just differences in concepts, then the "young and strong" faction and the "arist-class faction" are conflicts of interests.

Strictly speaking, the "Scale Family Sect" was the earliest interest group in the Republican team.

Many generals like Su Jinhui rely on their family background and obtained high-education diplomas in military academy. Other soldiers became officers when they were still struggling in the military camp. Because of their strong background, these soldiers' "official career" was much smoother, and many became generals before the age of 1999.

When Ji Youguo was determined to promote military reform, an extremely important purpose was to eliminate the "unlearning and ignorant" guys.

Among the generals laid off in the Republic, they came from a military family and obtained the title of general by their background, but they did not have much ability. In the military reform, the transformation of the colonel into a brigade general was to promote young and promising officers in the army, provide more opportunities and broader development space for soldiers from civilian origins, and suppress the "family factions" and balance the power structure within the army.

Su Jinhui has no problem with his talent, which is obvious to all.

The problem is that many "family faction" generals and officers who are demoted will definitely not give up this opportunity to crack down on the "young and strong faction". As long as Ling Yunxiao is given a charge of "violating the military order", they can take the opportunity to suppress Pei Chengyi and deal with Xiang Yinghui.

As the biggest backer of the "Young and Strong People", Xiang Yinghui must guarantee Ling Yunxiao.

Thinking of this, Pei Chengyi breathed a little relieved. The relationship was very clear. As a frontline commander, if a commander under him was sent to the military court, he would not be able to escape the joint relationship. At least he would write a very disgraceful note in his resume.

"General Xiang, Head of State..."

"The Head of State did not ask about this matter." Xiang Yinghui lit a cigarette butt and glanced at Pei Chengyi, "I don't know how to ask these things directly. According to General Peng's opinion, the Head of State probably wants to deal with them coldly."

“Cold treatment?”

"Pingze's affairs are not just military affairs, the diplomatic troubles are more serious than we think."

Pei Chengyi thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the deputy head of state plays a key role."

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "The Deputy Head of State has asked me about the situation twice. As far as I understand, the Deputy Head of State will not treat the army. After all, the Deputy Head of State needs the support of the army. Besides, the Korean army asked for the matter. With the situation at that time, Ling Yunxiao had no better way."

"Overall, Ling Yunxiao was wrong in front."

“From the back

, Ling Yunxiao did not make any mistakes."

"What does it mean?" Pei Chengyi was a little confused.

"The deputy head of state has always advocated attacking Busan after the third battle and not dealing with the 5th Army. Ling Yunxiao just created such conditions." Xiang Yinghui smiled slightly and said, "If the 773rd Brigade quickly went north without ordering to go north, it would not be able to eliminate the threat from the north and would not be able to capture Cheongju. If the 77th Army did not capture Cheongju, combat materials would not be able to be transported from Incheon to the eastern battlefield through the railway line. From the logistics support, we must launch a battle before entering Busan to occupy Cheongju and annihilate the 5th Army of the South Korean army. Although the 5th Army is still in Daejeon, we have enough ability to defend Cheongju, so there is no need to go south to attack Daejeon."

Pei Chengyi also laughed. "So, Ling Xiaoyun was a blessing in disguise."

"It is impossible to make a conclusion yet. The Deputy Head of State has been dealing with diplomatic matters in the past two days and has not talked to me about this matter." Xiang Yinghui lit another cigarette and handed the cigarette box to Pei Chengyi, allowing the brigade general to take care of himself. "The situation is very clear. As long as we support the Deputy Head of State and directly attack Ulsan and Busan, the Deputy Head of State will go online for Ling Yunxiao's affairs. In two years, the regime will change. Getting the support of the Deputy Head of State will be of great benefit to us."

Pei Chengyi pointed and said, "I have already considered the combat plan."

Xiang Yinghui glanced at Pei Chengyi and said, "You kid is becoming more and more deaf and dumb, and you are actually keeping me in front of me!"

"Mr. Xiang, I'm sure, otherwise..."

"I won't talk about this with you. Since you have already been accurate, I know what to say later, and what not to say, right?"

Pei Chengyi nodded immediately.

"Think about it carefully, don't make a low point later: mistake."

Before leaving for the capital, Pei Chengyi thought of various possibilities. His guess was exactly the same as Xiang Yinghui's analysis. It was not Xiang Yinghui who protected Ling Yunxiao behind the scenes, but Wang Yuanqing.

Unlike the two heads of state in front, Wang Qing did not have much foundation in the army.

Although Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang both publicly support Wang Yuanqing, Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang are both old and even if they can exert their influence, they will not last for a few years. Because Ji Youguo set an example in the front, Peng Maobang left Xiang Yinghui in the General Staff, so Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang are likely to retire to the mountains and forests in two years.

Before Wang Yuanqing took office, he must seize the army, at least one faction in the army.

The "Young and Strong School" is definitely Wang Yuanqing's first choice, because Wang Yuanqing is not from a famous family and has almost no background except for his extremely close relationship with Ji Youguo.

Pei Chengyi was very clear about this and fully considered Wang Yuanqing's requirements when planning the third battle.

If Wang Yuanqing wants to get together with the "Young and Strong People", he must need some "accidental" condition.

Ling Yunxiao's actions in Pyeongze and Suwon, the "family faction" caused trouble, which just provided Wang Yuanqing with this condition.

As long as Wang Yuanqing favors the "young and strong" rank on Ling Yunxiao's issue, he influences Zhao Rundong as a "protective person" and settles the "arist family faction", the "young and strong faction" will become a weapon in Wang Yuanqing's hands.

Of course, the "young and strong" must also be expressed in order to make Wang Yuanqing realize the importance of the "young and strong".

It's very simple and normal combination of interests.

If Pei Chengyi couldn't even see this, he would not be qualified to be Xiang Yinghui's key cultivation target.

No matter what, Ling Yunxiao will not have any problems. When Zhao Rundong is not very concerned about government affairs, as long as Wang Yuanqing settles diplomatic issues, no one will hold Ling Yunxiao accountable in the Pingze incident.

When he returned to the General Staff, Pei Chengyi had already figured out what to emphasize and ignore at the combat meeting.

Unlike the last time he returned to Beijing, Zhao Rundong did not rush to hold a combat meeting, but met Pei Chengyi alone and asked Pei Chengyi about the situation on the front line.

Although Zhao Rundong did not deliberately ask about the 77th Army and Ling Yunxiao, Pei Chengyi knew that Zhao Rundong was in control of the situation and avoided several interest groups from making a big difference. In front of the head of state, Pei Chengyi did not act too proactive. Zhao Rundong did not express his opinion on Ling Yunxiao's affairs, indicating that Zhao Rundong had his own ideas. Pei Chengyi could see Wang Yuanqing's interest relationship, but could not see Zhao Rundong's thoughts, so he did not dare to show his position rashly.

After lunch, Pei Chengyi met the deputy head of state who came to attend the combat meeting.

It seemed that in order to avoid gossiping from others, Wang Yuanqing did not ask about the frontline situation in detail, and Gu Weimin was also present when talking to Pei Chengyi. In this case, Pei Chengyi was not good at showing affection. After all, no one could tell which side Gu Weimin was on.

After having afternoon tea, Zhao Rundong asked Xiang Yinghui to convene a meeting.

At this time, Pei Chengyi discovered that Peng Maobang, who had been assisting Zhao Rundong and Xiang Yinghui as a "advisor", was not in the General Staff Department. (To be continued,)
