Xiao Xiaoyue's happy news diluted the gloom of the palace's move, but the palace's overnight move immediately attracted the attention of the people of Yangzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At half past seven o'clock the next morning, Li Yao reported to Wang Yongan that various intelligence agencies in the north sent telegrams saying that the Beiyang Army had not made a sound, and it could be determined that the intelligence system in the north had completely defected.

Wang Yongan ordered: "Immediately organize men to go to the northern provinces to hunt down and kill the intelligence agents who have defected, and we must cut down the traitors to the roots." ”

Li Yao asked in a low voice, "What about their families?" ”

"There is no mercy for killing." Wang Yongan replied cold-bloodedly, "But don't make a noise, remember not to leave a handle on people, we can pretend to be robbers and bandits." ”

"If they are rebelled, won't we cause displeasure in the North if we kill them?"

Wang Yongan smiled and asked: "Can we still live in peace with the north?" Not to mention that they attacked us, this time they plotted against our intelligence officers, and they were declaring war on us. Since war has been declared, what is there to talk about whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied, whoever provokes us, we will make whoever pays the price of blood. ”

After the main responsible persons and military commanders arrived at the combat conference room, Wang Yongan directly announced: "The Manchu government—in fact, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army has decided to take action against us, everyone, how to deal with it?" Staff, do you have a battle plan? ”

Feng Heng got up and said: "Returning to the commander, the General Staff has formulated three sets of battle plans overnight, and we tend to use two army divisions and ten infantry reserve regiments to contain the Southern Revolutionary Army. Depending on the strategic direction of our army, eight army divisions and ten infantry reserve regiments were prepared in the north to deal with the Beiyang Army. ”

Wang Yongan nodded and said: "As for the Southern Revolutionary Army, we mainly use negotiation to solve the problem, they are not evenly matched, and lack military spending and unified command, Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Revolutionary Army, is just a horseman, let him lead the troops to fight and charge, but let him lead the army to command the army, this person is not good at all." Although Sun Yat-sen was my sworn brother-in-law, I have been my own master with him, and I have never had official dealings. In these extraordinary times, I will write a letter to him, Vice Marshal Jiang, that you, Xu Yang, and Peng Yunzhe should go to Nanjing immediately, be sure to negotiate with the Southern Revolutionary Government to delay, and ask about the bottom line of the Southern Revolutionary Government. ”

"Yes." Jiang Dengxuan never expected that the day after he came to Yangzhou, he would have to go back to Nanjing and become the negotiator of the Jiangbei Bureau, which was really impermanent.

Wang Yongan asked again: "What is the specific operational plan of the General Staff for the north?" ”

Feng Heng picked up one of the three documents and said: "The first battle plan is codenamed Xuanwu, and the plan of our staff is to defend and attack. If the Beiyang Army moves, it will inevitably move south along the Jinpu Railway, Xuzhou is the most important military hub, and our army will build a north-south defense line along the Jinpu Railway, and the enemy's vital strength will be consumed mainly on defense. Our army will use Xuzhou and Hefei as the two main battlefields to put up stubborn resistance to the enemy and kill and wound the enemy, but this plan must abandon the central and southern regions of northern Anhui and Anhui, and then we can concentrate superior forces to fight a decisive battle between Xuzhou and Hefei, and force the Beiyang Army to make concessions after inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. He then picked up the defense map, hung it on the wall, and began to command the deployment of troops, but this plan needed to give up a lot of territory to the Beiyang Army, once the two sides fought a war of attrition, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Jiangbei Army that gave up a large area of land.

Wang Yongan and others frowned, not satisfied with this battle plan, but this plan is not without merit, the most satisfactory thing is that the logistical pressure will become very small, and killing the enemy under the city will stimulate the determination of the defenders to fight for every inch of land. However, the Beiyang Army will inevitably have loopholes in logistics support during long-distance attacks, and the Jiangbei Army can take advantage of the loopholes to send troops to harass or even burn the baggage logistics of the Beiyang Army, so that the Beiyang Army can take care of one thing and lose the other in a short period of time.

"Shelved." Wang Yongan said, "Although I am not a general, let alone a military talent, and you can even think that I am a military idiot, but we are the ones who suffer by burning the flames of war in our own yard, aren't we?" ”

Feng Heng nodded and said: "The Xuanwu plan, to put it bluntly, is to pull the enemy tightly in the yard of his house, hide in front of the door and knock on the stick, he will give a stick as soon as he enters the house, but he will also destroy the yard when he is angry, and even burn our house." It is inevitable that there will be losses in the war, and it is inevitable that the military disasters will affect the people. ”

"What if I want to keep my family?" Wang Yongan asked.

Feng Heng said: "The second set of plans, codenamed the Monkey King. ”

"It's interesting to hear the name, it won't be a big fuss in the sky, right?" Wang Yongan and the generals laughed.

Feng Heng nodded and said, "That's right!" This battle plan is that the Monkey King is making trouble in the sky! In the Monkey King plan, the generals of our Jiangbei Army were divided into three wings, left, center, and right, and took the initiative to attack the enemy's Wuhan, Luoyang, and Jining Mansion. The left flank attacked the Wuhan Beiyang Army, and the Hubei Revolutionary Army flanked Feng Guozhang before and after; The middle road occupied Henan, cut off the rear of the Beiyang Army in Wuhan, and Henan was Yuan Shikai's old nest, and it was of great significance to occupy Henan, Yuan Shikai would definitely send troops to support Henan, reducing the pressure on the left and right flanks. And the right flank is the direction of our main attack, along the Jinpu line to the north, the main force forced the Beiyang Army and our army to fight a decisive battle in Taierzhuang. ”

Wang Yongan said: "Decisive battle in Taierzhuang? ”

"Yes, Jining is north of Taierzhuang, and the fifth town of the Beiyang Army is stationed in Jining, and the arsenal, armament depot and other materials of the fifth town are stored in Jining, so it is impossible for the Beiyang Army to sit idly by and watch the main battlefield take place in Jining, so they have to go south to fight a decisive battle in Taierzhuang." Feng Hengdao.

Wang Yongan nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's very good to keep the enemy out of the country, it's very good!" What are the disadvantages of this battle plan? ”

"Logistics!" Feng Heng pointed out mercilessly, "Our army will face great logistical pressure, especially when the left flank enters the Hubei region, where the terrain is complex and rugged, and we are friends and foes with the Hubei Revolutionary Army, especially Li Liejun, the current commander-in-chief of the Five Provinces Allied Army, they may not join forces with us to attack Feng Guozhang." After the Middle Route Army entered Henan, it was unceremoniously said that our army would fight as a guest, and the people of Henan had always supported the imperial court, and had never had the intention of rebellion or revolution. ”

"And the people of Shandong are also quiet." Luo Yinxian added on the side, and then said with a wry smile: "Henan and Shandong have always produced loyal ministers, Henan has Yue Fei Yuzhong, and Shandong people are loyal and filial piety first, so our army enters the Henan guest army to fight, and the people will definitely not support it, and the logistics pressure is extremely great." ”

"What about fighting for war?" Wang Yongan said suddenly.

The faces of the people were pale, if the war was fed by war, the reputation of the Jiangbei Army would be stinky in the future......

Feng Heng said with a bitter face: "It's not that it can't be done, I'm afraid that it will be cheap to use war to raise war for a while, but it will inspire the determination of the people of Henan to share the same hatred and hatred." ”
