Zhou Defa took the Central China Army's trek all the way north, this time he came out of Nanchang but brought a lot of siege weapons, these are Li Chun Li Inspector for him, Li Chun Inspector is enthusiastic, not only provided artillery and other things and even the guide is ready for them, so that these people quickly stationed in De'an City, at the same time, the second bandit army was also stationed in Duchang under the leadership of Tang Baichuan, but they were not as well prepared as the first army, after all, after the second bandit army entered Jiangxi, the battle of Gui Chou was nearing the end, When the eldest prince of Bi Fujian came to snatch the merits, he basically missed any battles, but it was not without good places, at least he was not in Hukou like the first bandit army, and he suffered a lot of blows in Nanchang.

Bi Dagongzi did not grab the merits, returned ruthlessly, completely abandoned the Second Army, and handed it over to Tang Baichuan to take care of, fortunately, Tang Baichuan was a talent, and used various means to appease many generals of the Second Army.

Tang Baichuan looked at the majestic and tall Jiujiang City, and couldn't help but praise Chang Zhenbang's courage in his heart, he just hoped that Chang Zhenbang could fish in troubled waters and take Jiujiang City, which was not only a great achievement, but also embarrassed Li Chun, who was the guard of Jiujiang Town at the time, who knew that this kid actually single-handedly appeased the six battalions in Jiujiang City, and became a town guard.

"My lord, the brothers are ready, ready to fight with the old general Zhou Defa at any time to launch an attack on Jiujiang City!" An officer whispered in Tang Baichuan's ear.

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly and said: "Winning Jiujiang City is a great achievement, if you can't take Jiujiang City, then it is called ability!" ”

"Ah......" The officer was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by this, sir, please redeem your humble and dull duties, I don't understand it at all!" ”

Tang Baichuan smiled and said nothing, and when the officer saw that he didn't say anything, he had no choice but not to ask, who knew that Tang Baichuan suddenly turned his head and asked him: "What do you say about me as a division commander?" What do my brothers think of me? The two of us are not outsiders, you might as well talk about it. ”

The officer thought for a while and said, "I think that my lord is wise and wise, and he is more than a hundred times stronger than the eldest prince of Bi!" The brothers also said that being an errand under you is more reliable than listening to the eldest prince, but unfortunately there is no blessing to obey the orders of the adults directly! ”

"That's the problem!" Tang Baichuan said lightly: "Chang Zhenbang in Jiujiang City has an armed force of his own, known as a division, but it will never be less than a brigade, and each of our Second Army and First Army is a solid division-level formation, do you think it is possible for us to capture Jiujiang City?" ”

The officer thought for a while and said: "We have two divisions, and the other party has a division, but Jiujiang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this battle is afraid that it will not be easy to fight!" ”

Tang Baichuan said: "Chang Zhenbang's division is really obedient to his own orders, and our two divisions are all pieced together, there are a lot of people, but they are doing their own thing, and they are really fighting, I'm afraid it's not easy to command!" ”

The officer said: "I heard that we were all sent to the Beiyang Army as cannon fodder by the Bi Du Army, it is said that the First Army suffered heavy casualties, and the brothers of the two integrated regiments were canceled, but fortunately, our Second Army entered Jiangxi a few days later, so there were no major casualties!" ”

Tang Baichuan smiled bitterly: "Bi Zehua's heart is known to passers-by!" You understand this truth, others also understand this truth, why do you want to conquer Jiujiang, don't you just want to learn to sit in Jiujiang City as usual and get rid of Bi Zehua's control, do you think they really want to go back to China and be at the mercy of that old thing? But I didn't know that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind. No matter what they do, they are benefiting others. ”

"Could it be that the yellow finch that the adults are talking about is the Beiyang Army?" The officer thought for a long time and said with a heavy face.

Tang Baichuan said: "The Beiyang armies are arrogant and domineering, but they are united around President Yuan, and no one can shake them!" Will people scarce you in a small Jiujiang City? I really underestimated the generals of Beiyang! ”

"Is it Overseer?" The officer thought about it again for a long time before he thought of this, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Tang Baichuan said: "Neither the first army nor the second army is Bi Zehua's cronies, so no matter how many people die, they will take advantage of his will, Jiujiang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is Chang Zhenbang's division to defend it, even if it is barely captured, everyone must have suffered heavy losses, and at that time, it will be regarded as the guard of Luonan Town, and I am afraid that I will not have the strength to sit in this position." Speaking of victory or defeat, who can say for sure! ”

"My lord, General Zhou Defa sent a messenger!" A herald came to give an announcement.

Tang Baichuan said: "Please enter the camp, I'll go back!" ”

The envoy sent by Zhou Defa was none other than the sixth Li Zhizhong, who immediately saluted when he saw Tang Baichuan and said, "The lowly Li Zhizhong has seen Chief of Staff Tang!" After speaking, he glanced at him and motioned to meet Tang Baichuan alone.

Tang Baichuan nodded and said, "You guys should retreat first!" ”

The surrounding horses and officers immediately withdrew from the camp.

Tang Baichuan waited for these people to leave, then he glanced back at Li Zhizhong and said, "If my guess is right, the person who asked you to send the letter is not only outside Jiujiang City, but also inside Jiujiang City!" ”

Li Zhizhong smiled slightly and said: "Third brother, you are the most wise, I can't hide anything from you, yes, General Zhou Defa sent me to urge you to join him outside Jiujiang City, and after the siege cannon blasted open the gate of Jiujiang City, everyone will fight a family, and Jiujiang City is at your fingertips!" ”

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly, noncommittal, Li Zhizhong hurriedly leaned into Tang Baichuan's ear and said, "The seventh in Jiujiang City said. Hold your ground running! ”

"Still?" Tang Baichuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled gloomily, so frightened that Li Zhizhong couldn't help but take three or four steps back, and said, "Third brother, your smile is too terrible!" "Am I terrible or is the seventh terrible?" Tang Baichuan asked rhetorically: "Doesn't Lao Qi want to make that guy Qian Defa succeed?" ”

Li Zhizhong smiled and said: "Third brother, you are really Zhuge Liang, you can guess this, yes, Lao Qi and the eldest brother have discussed, when Lao Qi and Zhou Defa fight, our brothers will kill Zhou Defa from behind, and then let the eldest brother lead the first army." ”

"It's not just that, if that's the case, Lao Qi won't send you to me on purpose!" Tang Baichuan Road.

Li Zhizhong said: "After the eldest brother takes the first army, our brothers will have three divisions of troops in their hands, and when the time comes, trouble the third brother to find an excuse, return to Luoyin, and take Bi Zehua in one fell swoop, and Central China will belong to our brothers!" ”

Tang Baichuan smiled and said, "Lao Qi has a good calculation, but after Bi Zehua falls, who will do this Central China Overseer?" ”

Li Zhizhong said: "Of course, the eldest brother of the Central China Overseer will do it, and at that time, the old seventh was the Liangluo Town Guard, the third brother, you were the Anyang Town Guard, and I and Lao Wang were promoted to independent brigade commanders, and in the future, the affairs of Central China will be the final word after our brother has summed up a few of them!" What do you think of the idea? ”

Tang Baichuan thought for a while and said, "The Jiujiang Town Guard is much fatter than the Liangluo Town Guard, how can Lao Qi be willing to lose fat and pick up thinness?" Is he stupid? ”

Li Zhizhong said: "Lao Qi said, although Jiujiang is good, but there are Beiyang Army on all sides, a little carelessness is a catastrophe, although the Liangluo Town Guard is almost, but fortunately, there are old people from our Central China Army all around!" Why, there's a way out, isn't it? ”

"Go back and tell Lao Qi, I, Tang Laosan, will listen to him this time, don't move, I want to see if that Qian Defa can succeed!" Tang Baichuan smiled and agreed with Li Zhizhong.

Li Zhizhong said: "As for the old general Zhou Defa, how can the third brother reply?" ”

Tang Baichuan thought for a while and said, "Tell General Zhou Defa that our Second Bandit Army has been drawn out one after another. I think I'll be able to play with adults soon. ”

After sending Li Zhizhong away, Tang Baichuan returned to the camp tent, just sat down, but suddenly felt that there was an extra shadow, he smiled slightly, and said: "These lazy things, they didn't even pour a cup of tea for Lao Tzu, it's really hateful!" So saying, he fell into bed, and suddenly he drew his saber from the bed, jumped down, pointed to the back of the tent, and said, "Come out!" ”

"Third brother, it's really out of sight!" Chang Zhenbang's voice suddenly came from behind the tent.

Tang Baichuan gently opened the camp tent with the saber in his hand, but Chang Zhenbang's clothes of an ordinary soldier were carefully hidden, and he was able to find here, Tang Baichuan threw down the saber with a smile, hugged Chang Zhenbang very happily and said, "Why are you the seventh?" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "If it weren't for the third brother sending the junior to send three clever tricks, how could the junior brother sit in the position of the guardian of Jiujiang Town!" ”

Tang Baichuan said with a smile: "I only told my brother how you can take Jiujiang City, as for whether you can become the guardian of Jiujiang Town, it is all the credit of my brother, I can't be the kind of person who is greedy for the merit of heaven and thinks it is my own!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "The third brother is serious, if the third brother wants to go to this Jiujiang City, how can he get the younger brother's turn?" Just ......"

Tang Baichuan said: "It's just why don't I take it?" ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded.

Tang Baichuan said: "Liu San is not dead, I still want to go back to Central China, so what else do I want Jiujiang to do?" What is the difference between falling into the hands of your seventh brother and falling into my hands? ”

"Thank you for the grace of the third brother, the little brother is unforgettable!" Chang Zhenbang said gratefully.

Tang Baichuan said: "Do you know about Qian Defa?" ”

Chang Zhenbang was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?" What happened? ”

Tang Baichuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there is a clown who whimsically wants to come out and make trouble." As he spoke, he gave Chang Zhenbang everything Li Zhizhong told him, not that he trusted Chang Zhenbang so much, but it was better not to use small means in front of smart people.

Chang Zhenbang couldn't help frowning after hearing what he said, it was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with him, but it was implemented in his name, and the practitioners were several brothers of his righteous Jinlan, thinking of this, he couldn't help but roar in a low voice: "Are these people blinded by all their strength?" They came up with such a simple and childish scheme, did they treat the world as fools and idiots? Fuck them, they even believe they're going to make it? What the hell! ”

Tang Baichuan smiled bitterly: "In their eyes, your seventh brother easily occupied Jiujiang City and sat on the throne of the guardian of Jiujiang Town, and the Jiangxi army, which surpassed the Central China Army in combat effectiveness, was so vulnerable, so what is Zhou Defa's Central China Army in their eyes?" ”

"Is that to blame?" Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "With Zhou Defa's old calculations, Qian Defa doesn't have any chance at all!" Third brother, you can think of a way for the brothers! No matter what, I have to hold the lives of Brother Qian and the three of them! ”

Tang Baichuan said coldly: "Heaven is evil, it is forgivable, self-inflicted, you can't live!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "After all, they are righteous brothers, so they can't be too ruthless!" I have to be saved! ”

"This is a mutiny and a rebellion!" Tang Baichuan said coldly: "If they have the slightest scruple about the friendship of sworn brothers, they will never do such a thing that is unreasonable and unclear!" If this had been placed a few years ago, it would have been a great sin for the Nine Clans! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Third Brother Tang, if we don't cooperate and don't stop it, once these people fail to mutiny, they will inevitably confess to us, I don't care, I have already escaped from Bi Zehua's control, but you are different, maybe that old thing will clean you up!" ”

Tang Baichuan bent down and picked up the saber that had fallen aside, handed it to Chang Zhenbang, and said: "For today's plan, you can only go on a trip with your hard work, brother, and tell Qian Defa that idiot not to act rashly!" As long as he moves, everyone will die, this kind of thing can only be effective if you say it to him in person! ”

"Third brother, you cheat me!" Chang Zhenbang took the saber and said with a wry smile: "If the little brother goes now, as long as he is discovered, he will really die without a place to be buried!" ”

Tang Baichuan said with a smile: "It depends on your seventh friend's friendship, but I'm not afraid that you will be held by Zhou Defa, I'm afraid that you will be held by Qian Defa!" That kid is now being bewitched by the Russians, and I'm afraid that he is going to do something wrong! ”

"No, most of the bold men of Qian Lao can't do this kind of pickled thing!" Chang Zhenbang said with some disbelieving.

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly and said: "This is just a little speculation for my brother, brother, you and Qian Defa are the most compatible, and they often drink together, how can that kind of good vodka be drunk with his good virtue of Qian Defa?" If so, I am afraid that it will not be possible without the support of the Russians! ”

The collusion between Qian Defa and Lao Maozi, Tang Baichuan just speculated, but Chang Zhenbang saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, if he hadn't personally experienced how he colluded with the Russians, he would never have imagined that the arrogant Qian Defa would be able to be bought by Lao Maozi for a few bottles of wine.

Tang Baichuan said: "Of course, this is just my guess, but I still advise you not to take risks!" ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded and said, "The third brother's calculation doesn't seem to have failed!" I believe you! I can not go, but I can send someone to go, and I hope the boss will turn back! ”

"Take care!" Tang Baichuan said: "As long as you can withstand the attack of the First Army, I guarantee that the Second Army will not take any action against Jiujiang City!" ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded, handed over Tang Baichuan's saber in his hand, and said, "Third brother, take care, there will be a day when you and my brother will fight side by side, and I will leave!" Saying that, Chang Zhenbang walked away in the night, Tang Baichuan looked at his figure, and an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
