Chapter 347: The Great War in Central China
All the way into Central China without incident, Xiao Yaonan and Bao Dequan did not relax their vigilance at all, especially the Beiyang Third Division that was following behind was even more wide-eyed, and it was clear that they were punished if they were caught deserting, that is, those guys who went out to purchase, if these wolf-like Third Divisions were suspicious, they didn't have time to check with you, and they immediately shot them to save trouble, so that the soldiers in Central China were in danger, and Lin Yan was even more worried, and the direct army looked at it so closely, when would it take to get out, You must know that Chang Zhenbang is in charge of Jiangnan, how many big and small things a day, if this is consumed here, how many things will be delayed? What's more, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, no matter how well Chang Zhenbang hides it, there are times when the stuffing is exposed. This worrying day really made him quite anxious. Looking at Chang Zhenbang again, he was as safe as Yi, he was not in a hurry at all, he looked at Lin Yan's appearance, and even comforted him: "Lin Yan, don't worry, have you done everything I explained to you?" ”
Lin Yan said: "Don't worry, my lord, the news has been passed out, and the small one has been transmitted in three ways, according to the feedback signal, only one method has successfully been rewarded, and the other two have been investigated and destroyed by Wu Peifu's people." ”
"No brother in it!" Chang Zhenbang said with concern.
Lin Yan said: "Two brothers were unfortunately arrested on the way, but fortunately they escaped with a decent response. This time, Wu Peifu is aiming at Central China this time, so you have to prepare early. ”
Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said: "The iron-blooded methods of the Third Division of Beiyang have shocked the Central China Army, don't you think it's strange that these people can handle it decently and escape from the blades of these people?" ”
Lin Yan said: "Don't worry, my lord, my brothers all know that if I die for my adult, my wife and children will be properly taken care of, and if I betray my adult, they will never end well." ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "The Green Gang, the Heaven and Earth Society, and the White Lotus Sect are all strict punishments and strict laws to govern the gangs, but traitors are still emerging in an endless stream, so deterrence alone cannot guarantee that these brothers will not change their hearts, and these brothers who have come back should be screened. It's not that I can't trust them, but I am responsible to all my brothers. ”
Lin Yan said: "What my lord said is that Dai Yunong's intelligence agencies in Beijing and Tianjin have been reformed this time, and many redundant agencies have been abolished, but many institutions have also been added, and the internal audit department is used to verify the loyalty of these intelligence officers, screen the elites among them, and eliminate the scum among them. ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at Lin Yan and said, "You kid is waiting for me here?" It seems that you also know that the establishment of this internal audit office will also offend many people! ”
Lin Yan said: "My lord smiled. When people are old, there will be more twilight, and they will only do things, not as good as Dai Yunong, these young people are motivated, and they know that the adults have given Dai Yunong full power, but those old people who fight the country are not willing to have someone check internally, and I hope that the adults can let Chang Zhenyan cooperate. ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "This matter should be supported by this official." ”
Lin Yan also wanted to say a few words of compliment, but at this moment, there were suddenly a few earth-shattering cannons outside, Chang Zhenbang and others hurriedly forgot about the past, only to see a burst of smoke and dust drifting by, and tens of thousands of horses emerged, among which there was a person who was the acting overseer Bi Jinjian, standing beside him were two or three handsome women, and behind the woman was Zhao Yuanren, who was known as Wolong in Central China, Zhao Yuanren had a cold face, like a great enemy.
When Bao Dequan saw this movement, he couldn't help but say to Xiao Yaonan: "Brother, have we leaked the news?" ”
Xiao Yaonan said: "It is absolutely impossible, the third division of Beiyang in the back is eyeing each other, taking turns to keep an eye on it day and night, except for the dead, your Huazhong army has never been scattered, so they will never know about Bi Zehua." ”
Bao Dequan thought about it, so he slapped his horse forward, came to the front of Bi Jinjian, turned over and dismounted, and said with a flattering smile: "Congratulations to the eldest prince on his ascension to the acting overseer." Lord Bi was tired of driving and riding all the way, and occasionally felt a cold, so he could only ask the eldest prince to come over and speak. ”
Bi Jinjian rolled his eyes three times and said with a smile: "If that's the case, Baode will lead the way in front of you." This Overseer will go with you. ”
Bao Dequan smiled, just turned around, he heard a gunshot from the back of his head, and the whole body ran forward involuntarily, and then there was a warm feeling in his chest, he couldn't help but look down, there was a big wound at the bottom of the bowl on his chest, and the blood flowed away, without any pain, he just wanted to say something, only to feel that his body was weak, and he fell to the ground and died.
Xiao Yaonan's Baode family was killed, he was taken aback, and immediately rushed to the front of the battle, and several cronies were afraid that Bi Jinjian would be unfavorable to him, so they stood in front of him, but he pushed them aside and said, "What do you mean by this, Bi Dujun?" ”
Bi Jinjian sneered and said: "Xiao Yaonan, you are so bold, at the beginning of the Zhiwan War, you people begged our father and son, now that Duan Qirui has fallen, you actually unload the mill and kill the donkey, and want to serve Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu's father in one pot, it is really shameless, now Lao Tzu personally commands three divisions here, if you are interested and let go of the old overseer, Lao Tzu does not care about you in general, if you are obsessed, do not blame Lao Tzu's army for being ruthless!" After speaking, he faced those confused Central China troops
shouted: "Brothers, Bao Dequan kidnapped the old overseer and sold our Central China to Wu Peifu, a dog thief, this overseer has already killed him, it has nothing to do with you, you surrender your guns, you are still my good brother, if the people who follow Wu Peifu resist stubbornly, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and being ruthless!" Prepare to charge. ”
As soon as Bao Dequan died, the Central China Army in his hands was even more leaderless, in chaos, and there were signs of collapse, Xiao Yaonan snorted coldly, and said to Luo Tiandi, one of Bao Dequan's hardcore cronies: "You go to stabilize Bi Jinjian, fight for twenty minutes, and wait for the third division of Beiyang in the back, Lao Tzu will promote you to the guard of Guide Town." ”
When Luo Tiandi heard this, his face was swept away with sadness, replaced by a face full of joy, and said, "Thank you for your help, and the small ones will do it!" As soon as he spoke, he came to the front of the two armies, and said to Bi Jinjian: "The eldest prince, don't be impatient, the little people don't know about the kidnapping of the overseer by the dog thief, and they still hope that the eldest prince will atone for his crimes, as for the kneeling and surrendering, it should be, let's eat the old Bi's family's meal, and naturally do things for the old Bi family, but Baode has a lot of cronies, and I hope that the eldest prince will give me some time, let me appease the brothers!" ”
Bi Jinjian smiled, seemed to agree, Luo Tiandi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, who knew that Bi Jinjian raised his hand and shot Luo Tiandi again, and said: "If you don't surrender within two minutes, the brothers will kill these two or five boys for me!" ”
"Yes!"
The divisions behind cheered loudly, and the earth-shattering situation should not be underestimated.
Xiao Yaonan said coldly: "Brothers, do a good job of facing the battle, let's go directly to the two divisions of Duan Qirui of the Third Mixed Brigade, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't do these wine bags and rice bags of the Central China Army!" The soldiers of the 3rd Mixed Brigade of Zhili shouted, and immediately quickly set up preparations for the battle.
Camel Fei is the second cronie under Baode Quan, as soon as Luo Tiandi dies at this time, he becomes the boss of the entire Guide Hua Chinese army, Luo Tiandi was killed without saying anything, it can be seen that even if he submits to Bi Jinjian, he can't fall into good fruit to eat, thinking of this, he immediately ordered to cooperate with Xiao Yao to fight back in the south. At this time, Chang Zhenbang, Lin Yan and others were also ready to take the opportunity to slip away.
"Two minutes have come, kill!"
Bi Jinjian shouted, and the three divisions of the Central China Army slaughtered like a giant snake rolling on the Yellow River.
"Meritorious service, kill!"
Xiao Yaonan also immediately issued an order to attack, and his men and horses immediately hunted and killed like tigers descending the mountain, don't look at his number is not dominant, but that momentum is incomparable to the Central China Army, as soon as the two armies are less in contact, they will harvest the Central China Army that meets them like a sickle, and the camel flying department also took the opportunity to kill and rush over, they themselves are part of the Central China Army, so the combat effectiveness is about the same, and even a little stronger, but the human heart is a wonderful thing, not to say that they will turn their faces, These people used to follow Bi Zehua to mess around, no matter how bastard Bi Zehua was, after all, they never treated them badly, and now they want them to turn over and beat their former comrades after all, so most of the camel flying people can't do their work, and even when they see each other, they turn around and run away, and Chang Zhenbang is also caught in the deserter and follows. At this time, the Beiyang Third Division, which rushed over, didn't care about killing their heads, and rushed to the battlefield to join the battle, Bi Jinjian's numerical advantage was soon lost, looking at the more and more brave direct army, Bi Jinjian couldn't help but be a little flustered, he immediately found Zhao Yuanren and said: "Mr. Zhao, what now?" ”
Zhao Yuanren smiled and said: "Don't panic, my lord, our Central China Army will bully more and treat less with ease, even if the elite of the direct army must be, it will not fall behind for a while." ”
Bi Jin Jian said: "What Mr. Zhao said is reasonable, I will leave it to you if I don't let it go here, this overseer still has something to do, so I will leave first." Said with the left and right two beauties left the battlefield under the escort of Ma Ben, there is a way is that the snake has no head, he runs, the morale of the Central China Army is gone, a touch of collapse, have fled, Zhao Yuanren sighed, only slowly retreated, this Zhao Yuanren is who, known as Wolong in Central China, in the past is also harmonious, so he won the hearts of the army, along the way gathered more and more remnants of the defeated generals, and finally liquidated, there was almost a division of troops, Zhao Yuanren immediately reorganized from the new, slowly retreated to Guide.
After Xiao Yaonan defeated Bi Jinjian, he immediately joined forces and quickly went south, hoping to occupy Luoyin with lightning speed, and Camel Fei was appointed by Xiao Yaonan as the guardian of Guide Town to go south to take over Guide. The 3rd Division of Beiyang went south to Xiazhou, Nanyang, and Zhumadian. The three heads go hand in hand, and they must quickly occupy Central China, and then let the Bi family father and son go to the table to return to their hometown, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of Youyou.
But people are not as good as the sky, when Xiao Yaonan rushed to Luoyin City, he saw that the city gate was closed and the city was heavily guarded, Xiao Yaonan couldn't help frowning, how many troops were in Central China, he knew in his heart, he surrendered to a division of Baodequan, defeated Bi Jinjian's three divisions, the Central China Army was already greatly injured, even if there were divisions also stationed near Zhumadian, there would not be many soldiers and horses in this Luoyin City except for a few garrisons and city defense regiments, but this Luoyin City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are only garrisons and city defense regiments, Thinking of this, he immediately asked the people of his headquarters to unfold a majestic posture of showing off their might to attack the city, and on the one hand, let people go to the city to persuade them to surrender, who knew that his people just said a few words, and saw that Luoyin City raised a flag symbolizing the Southeast Army, and under the banner was Chen Jiongming, the general of the Southeast Army, shouting: "Luoyin has been authorized by the Bi Governor Army to the Southeast Army, and you should retreat as soon as possible, otherwise ten thousand cannons will be fired and turned into ashes!" ”
Xiao Yaonan was furious, and immediately attacked the city, Chen Jiongming was unceremonious, and immediately fired back, Xiao Yaonan was lightly armed and never did a sneak attack, and there were not many heavy engineering artillery, this battle was pressed and beaten by Chen Jiongming. Xiao Yaonan saw that the situation was not good and had to abandon Luoyin, who knew that he pulled, Chen Jiongming actually sent someone to chase over, the two armies fought, Xiao Yaonan suffered heavy casualties, returned defeated, and retreated to Guide, after this retreat, Chen Jiongming Mingjin collected his troops and cleaned up the battlefield, and naturally gained a lot of money.
Before Xiao Yaonan arrived in Guide, he met the camel flying department, and after asking about the situation, he was heartbroken, thinking that Guide only Zhao Yuanren's remnants were defeated, who knew that when he was about to defeat Zhao Yuanren, Ni Sichong actually brazenly sent troops to return to Germany, although this Ni Sichong's department cannot be said to be the first division of Beiyang, but it has never been defeated, how can the Central China Army be his opponent, the army is everywhere, like the autumn wind and falling leaves, it was defeated effortlessly, This beat the camel and flew away, and it was a sigh of relief that the father and mother fled a hundred miles away from Germany. After the two met, it was the vicissitudes of life, after a short rest, I felt that the place where I went north had been blocked by the Southeast Army and the Anwu Army, and now it is to go south to Zhumadian and other places, capture Bi Jinjian alive, even if I can't capture it alive, I can continue to go south to Hubei, so as not to trap Central China, the two have discussed it, and then the soldiers will go south to Zhumadian, this Zhumadian is Qian Defa's lair, and it was destroyed by Qian De's anger, and there is no danger to defend at all, and then he appointed Wang Tianzhen to guard this place, This Wang Tianzhen became Bi Zehua's henchman by betraying Qian Defa, he seems to be loyal, but in fact he is also the first rat at both ends, seeing Xiao Yaonan's momentum, Bi Zehua's three divisions are not enough, and he is not an opponent, so he immediately raised the white flag and submitted to Xiao Yaonan, Xiao Yaonan corrected the army here on the one hand, and let the camels fly south, and the news of the capture of Xinyang came soon. It made Xiao Yaonan's face a little better, and then made up his mind that the camel would fly from the south, and he would attack Nanyang from the north and south, and capture Bi Jinjian alive.
