Half of the building collapsed by artillery fire, and on the blackened gatehouse, which was smoked by smoke and fire, hung a sign: Forward Headquarters of the Second Army of the Zhilu Coalition Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were a few soldiers guarding in front of the headquarters headquarters, and when they saw Jiang Baili coming, they immediately raised their guns and saluted, and Jiang Baili returned a military salute, and the group went directly to the second floor of the building, where the walls were full of cracks, and the faces of the officers and soldiers who were in a hurry showed anxiety and uneasiness.

At the very top of the second floor was a large office with the words War Room written on the door number.

In the war room, there was a panic at this time, the staff officers and the military assistants were busy with their own work, and the sound of ticking telegrams came from time to time in the next room, accompanied by the sound of explosions and cold gunfire from time to time, which also contrasted with each other.

"Oh, Senator Jiang, where have you been, I'm about to die." A slightly fat middle-aged man in a major general's uniform saw Jiang Baili and immediately walked up and said.

"Hehe, Brother Cheng Hui, why are you in such a hurry, I just went to see the city defense." Jiang Baili said with a smile.

"Well, what's the use of that seeing? I have already said that this city will be a lonely city sooner or later, Commander Feng just didn't listen, now it's good, even your brother is a passerby, he is stranded here, how can this be good! The major general said with a heavy sigh.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce one, this is one of my old friends, Brother Li." Jiang Baili pointed to Li Yunhan behind him and introduced that Jiang was a very intelligent person, he knew that Li Yunhan was famous in Licheng some time ago, and he was afraid that saying his name would cause a lot of inconvenience, so he hid his name here and only said his surname to the major general.

"Well, good." The major general nodded perfunctorily, and was about to pull Jiang Baili over to speak, but Jiang Baili opened his mouth again: "Brother Li, this is General Luo Chenghui, chief of staff of the Second Army of the Zhilu Coalition Army. ”

"Chief of Staff Luo, hello!" Li Yunhan nodded at Luo Chenghui.

Luo Chenghui obviously didn't want to know Li Yunhan, smiled and stopped talking, Jiang Baili saw this, and after laughing dryly, he said slowly: "Brother Li just came from outside the city. ”

Who knew that this sentence immediately made Luo Chenghui startled, looked Li Yunhan up and down, and hurriedly asked, "Are you a revolutionary army?" ”

"It's not." Li Yunhan was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

Luo Chenghui listened, and the sense of loss in his eyes was fleeting.

"Although he is not a revolutionary army, he can come and go freely in this lonely city. Chief of Staff Luo, the plan you mentioned earlier, in my opinion, this person is feasible. Jiang Baili is not in a hurry, no matter when, even if the sky falls, he still looks confident.

After Jiang Baili reminded him of this, Luo Chenghui was stunned again, and then suddenly realized, and then slapped his hands, but a smile appeared on his originally tense face: "Hahaha, Senator Jiang, they all said that you are the greatest chief of staff, I think you should be the best lucky general!" ”

Their words made Li Yunhan a little confused, he came to Taixing just for those medicines, since he responded to Mr. Jiang Baili, he also followed a trip to the headquarters, but he didn't want to get involved in any plan for this, he quickly calculated in his mind, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but Mr. Jiang spoke first.

"Brother Li, there is a big thing that you need to do right now, and it has been done, you are a great benefactor of tens of thousands of people in Taixing City."

It is also a long story to say this, the Zhilu coalition army at the request of Sun Chuanfang, sent the second army to Jiangbei to coordinate the defense, Jiang Baili originally planned to go straight to Zhejiang by boat here, but did not expect that the troops had just arrived in Taixing, the revolutionary army surrounded here, a lonely city became a cage for the second army, and there was no way to withdraw if you wanted to withdraw, and there was no way to break through, later, the chief of staff Luo Chenghui planned to negotiate with the revolutionary army, but was severely rejected by the army commander Feng Renguang.

It's not that Feng Junjun personally wishes, but the order he accepted was to coordinate defense, and retreat before the next battle was fought, and it was really a shame to have been bombarded by the revolutionary army for so long, besides, once he went back like this this time, the generals in Licheng might not know how to laugh at him.

The reason for not being able to save face is on the one hand, and the other reason is that if one's own talk is rejected by the revolutionary army, if this news reaches Licheng, won't he and the officers and men of the whole army have to bear the infamy of retreating without a fight?

Zhang Zongchang, commander-in-chief of the Zhilu Coalition Army, was born with a beard, and his temper was no different from that of a dog, and if he was instigated by others, it was not impossible to charge the Second Army with something.

Therefore, the army commander has a lot of concerns, and Luo Chenghui, the chief of staff, also knows that he needs to find a person who has nothing to do with this matter to do, and he originally thought that Mr. Jiang was the most suitable, and there were many senior generals in the revolutionary army who were his protégés, but the army outside the city was the first division of the revolutionary army, and it was an authentic Whampoa army, and it was difficult to say whether their officers recognized Jiang Baili or not.

Second, Jiang Baili is now serving as a senator of Zhejiang Province, and Zhejiang is Sun Chuanfang's territory, and this battle is fought against Sun Chuanfang, which seems to be a little inappropriate for his identity.

Until Li Yunhan's appearance, Luo Chenghui's heart was really clear.

After the two of them talked bitterly around Li Yunhan, they waited for Li Yunhan's reply, and after a long time, Li Yunhan said: "Okay, I'll send this letter, but I have a request." ”

"What requirements? You said. Luo Chenghui hurriedly asked.

"I'm here to bring a batch of goods back to Jiangdu, and when I send the letter back, you can't stop me." Li Yunhan said.

"Okay, that's a deal."

I didn't expect Li Yunhan to agree to the request so quickly, Luo Chenghui was overjoyed, but after the joy, he made another difficulty, who is better to write this letter? Not only will not lose the prestige of the Second Army, but also can represent the Zhilu Coalition Army, this candidate is very interesting, the election of the Second Army officer, in the future, it will inevitably have to be responsible, the election of Mr. Jiang, that is even more suspicious of begging, for a while Luo Chenghui frowned and was very distressed.

At this moment, a young officer walked in, and as soon as the young officer entered the war room, he first saw Jiang Baili, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Principal! Then, he turned to face Luo Chenghui and said, "Chief of Staff!" ”

"Aha, it's really dozing off and sending pillows, Chen Xun, it's too good time for you to come!" Luo Chenghui stepped forward and said happily.

"Chen Xun, the confidential staff officer of the General Headquarters Staff Office, Senator Jiang, is also your master!"

"Oh? Your name is Chen Xun? Jiang Baili looked at this face and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly realized: "You are Chen Xun!" You're a first-year student at the Baoding Military Academy, and you're from the infantry department, right? ”

"Yes, Headmaster, when you first came to the school to speak, I stood behind you as a flag bearer!" Chen Xun seemed very excited, he didn't expect that after graduating for so many years, he could still see his principal, remembering the scene when Jiang Baili committed suicide with a gun in order to fulfill his promise to students, Chen Xun's chest rose and fell, although he was young, the person he admired the most was Principal Jiang Baili, looking forward to becoming a soldier like him one day.

"Oh, I remember, you were still a hairy boy back then, well, yes, that's you, you're always a thorn in the class, I remember one time you were not dressed properly, and I punished you for confinement, but I didn't expect you to be a major now." Jiang Baili said kindly like an elder, but this sentence made Chen Xun blush a little.

"Hey, principal, the students are not talented, Tang Shengzhi is now a big member. Hey, by the way, Headmaster, why are you here? I haven't seen you in so many days. Chen Xun asked suspiciously.

"Alas, don't mention it, your headmaster has also been memorizing lately. Or is it more important to get down to business. With that, Luo Chenghui pulled Chen Xun aside to speak.

Jiang Baili turned around and talked to Li Yunhan, and the two turned around again, Luo Chenghui said: "It is best to leave this matter to Senator Jiang and your students, Staff Officer Chen is a well-known pen in the General Headquarters." ”

Chen Xun answered, then went out to write a letter, looking at his back, Luo Chenghui said: "Senator Jiang is now all over the world, Tang Shengzhi is the commander of the Eighth Army of the Revolutionary Army, Chen Mingshu is also the division commander, Sun Zhen is the deputy commander, and the others are needless to say, if you talk about seniority, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who dares to call a senior in front of your brother." ”

Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head, noncommittal.

"However, Senator Jiang is very interesting about this student of yours, when Staff Officer Chen came to the headquarters of the Lu Army, he was very handsome, alas, he is blamed for his temper being too straight, otherwise, I am afraid I would have to be his chief of staff now. Strange to say, do you know what the command calls this student of yours now? Luo Chenghui told the story of Chen Xun like a treasure, and it seems that this person is indeed well-known in the military circles of Shandong.

"What's it called?" Jiang Baili asked with interest.

"It's called Mr. Sancan." After Luo Chenghui finished speaking, he laughed to himself.

"Why is it called that?" Jiang Baili was whetted by Luo Chenghui. Li Yunhan stood aside, and he also felt that this person named Chen Xun looked a little weird.

"Undisclosed, incredible, incomprehensible. Chen Xun always looks unfathomable on weekdays, likes to show people's appearances, and often talks about the fact that the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, but speaking of which, he really has some ability, and the hexagram is also nine times out of ten, it is incredible that because he is accurate in calculating the hexagram, even the commander Zhang Zongchang will ask him to count a hexagram, it can't be reasonable, that is him, as the chief of staff of the regiment, fighting with the regiment commander, being the chief of staff of the division, fighting with the division commander, it is simply unreasonable, and now it is strange and pitiful to become a major staff officer. Luo Chenghui said the Tao, but he listened to Li Yunhan on the side.

"This person probably has some skills." Li Yunhan said secretly in his heart.

Just as Luo Chenghui was gushing about Chen Xun's anecdote, Chen Xun walked in with a piece of paper, and after he stepped forward and handed it to Luo Chenghui, Chief of Staff Luo immediately looked at it, and Luo Chenghui was really surprised by this look and ten lines!
