"How can we help?" When Zhong Lin heard that Liu Jun and Zheng Yiqian both proposed to help the imperial court, especially Li Yuanhong, Zhong Lin said one of the most obvious problems,

How to help, it seems that Li Yuanhong can only be helped materially, thinking of this, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, and then said word by word: "Send electricity to Fujian, and immediately ship 20,000 rifles from Fuzhou." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 120 machine guns and 51 artillery pieces, go to Yuping, and in addition, send a telegram to your Huaihua station, quickly hand over the map of the Huaihua area to Li Yuanhong, and assist Li Yuanhong to take Huaihua. ”

"Isn't it too much?" Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, heard the list of substances sent by Liu Jun. Suddenly spoke.

Many, not much, this weapon, for themselves, has no effect at all, in this war, in the Huguang area, the imperial army can only attack the Hubei region in the north by taking some cities, so that these supports are still cost-effective.

No, we need Li Yuanhong to open the west gate of Hunan, so that we can plunge the end into chaos. Liu Jun said after thinking about it

It seems that this is the case, Zheng Yiqian listened to Liu Jun's explanation, and immediately nodded, agreeing with Liu Jun's meaning.

Yuping County, a small county under the Tongren Prefect, is also regarded as the handover point with Hunan. Ten days ago, it was a very quiet area, but now, in the small Yuping, nearly 50,000 troops have been stationed, inside and outside the city, there are army tents and soldiers walking on the road.

Drive........ Drive........ The sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate saw more than a dozen cavalry running over quickly, and the yellow dragon flag raised was waving in the wind.

"Get out of the way, the Commander has arrived." When the gatekeeper saw the flag above, he immediately shouted loudly.

Squeak....... The soldiers who heard the shouts quickly opened the city gate and let a dozen cavalry enter the city.

These dozen people were Li Yuanhong's vanguard troops, and they were ordered to take a step forward to inform the Qing generals to start greeting them.

In the big tent of Yuping, Yang Zaixing, who is the deputy general of the army, is sitting in a chair in a daze, and he has been waiting for Li Yuanhong here for nearly five days.

In the past five days, the news transmitted by the spy made Yang Zaixing feel a chill in his heart, the strength of the Huaihua area has been increasing, and every time the troops are increased, the equipment is the top, compared to his own troops, this is simply a huge blow, Li Yuanhong has not yet arrived. He could not give orders, he could only let the front line refrain from friction with the troops on the Hunan side. Avoid a full-blown outbreak of war.

There was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and before he could stand up, a person suddenly ran in outside, this person was Zhang Hao, the general in charge of the army's intelligence collection this time.

"The Commander has arrived." Zhang Hao, who ran in, said loudly.

Finally arrived, Yang Zaixing, who heard this, breathed a sigh of relief. Then he stood up and tidied up his clothes, turned around and walked out.

After a brief welcome ceremony, Li Yuanhong began to take office and began to listen to the reports of the various armies.

It seems that it is not optimistic, the Huaihua area has increased its troops again, and it has now reached 20,000 people, but it has 40,000 people in name, but the real situation is that these troops can be used as 10,000 at most.

Compared with the machine gun and the broadsword, it is impossible to compare, Li Yuanhong is not an executioner, he will be stupid enough to let them attack the Huaihua area troops armed to the teeth.

"Commander, the imperial court is calling, let's launch an attack on Huaihua as soon as possible." Less than three hours after arriving at Yuping, Deputy General Yang Zaixing sent a telegram to Li Yuanhong.

I know the attack, what will I attack, picked up the telegram and looked at it Li Yuanhong cursed in his heart, he knew that the imperial court was anxious, but he was even more anxious, Xiushan, the first town was ready to attack in five days, that is, on May 3, Hunan was attacked, the imperial court meant that the two sides launched an attack together, giving Hunan a form of army pressure, this, Li Yuanhong understood, the key to the problem is that if his troops are the first town, he can launch an attack on the Huaihua area now, but, Facing the troops in his hands and letting himself attack, Li Yuanhong did not dare.

So far, there has been no news on the deployment of troops in the Huaihua area, and letting yourself attack at this time is not looking for death.

"Got it, send a telegram to the imperial court, and we will attack in the fastest time." Although he was unhappy in his heart, Li Yuanhong still said to Yang Zaixing.

Lushun, headquarters, Liu Junquan lay on the table, and in his hand, a magnifying glass roamed back and forth on the map, this area is the topographic map of Huaihua, and it is also the map of Hunan.

"You're still watching." Zheng Yiqian, who came over with a cup of tea, asked softly.

Hey, seeing that it was Zheng Yiqian, Liu Jun put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said, "Yes, if you don't look at it, you can't do it, I'm still a little worried about that side." ”

Don't worry, anyone is not at ease, but now, there has been an agreement with the imperial court, in Hunan, he will no longer interfere, even if he is anxious, it will have no effect.

"Where did the materials from Fujian go, and did Huaihua Station send the city defense force map over?" Liu Jun, who took a sip of tea, asked Zheng Yiqian in front of him.

Zheng Yiqian doesn't know much about this aspect. After putting Liu Jun's map on the table, Zheng Yiqian said, "It's better for you to ask Zhong Lin about this matter?" "That's right, Zhong Lin is the one in charge of this matter, and it would be wrong to ask Zheng Yiqian by himself.

"Head, you're looking for me." As soon as Zheng Yiqian finished speaking, Zhong Lin's voice was already heard outside.

Seeing Zhong Lin walk in, Liu Jun took a look and said the question just now.

"Head, the material of Fujian has now reached Yong'an. Huaihua's troop deployment map has entered Yuping under the leadership of the Huaihua station commander, and if it is fast, they will be able to send things to Li Yuanhong tomorrow. ”

Great, hearing Zhong Lin's report, Liu Jun nodded, then came to the map and looked at it and said: "Send electricity to Fujian, let the 33rd Army move in the direction of Yong'an, and deal with Li Yuanhong." ”

If you can't enter Hunan, you can attract troops from Hunan on the side and reduce the pressure on Li Yuanhong, and that's all you can do, and the rest is Li Yuanhong's own business. (To be continued.) )
