Chapter 943: Li Yuanhong's boredom
Arthur, Headquarters. The cold weather has begun to subside www.biquge.info. Early this morning, Liu Jun had already taken off his thick military coat and changed into a summer military uniform. 、
"Do you look more energetic about this, look at your winter uniform, it looks like a bear." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, looked at Liu Jun who was sitting in the chair and said with a smile.
Oh my God, I didn't expect my handsome image to be like this, Liu Jun smiled helplessly. Don't talk to Zheng Yiqian.
"Zhong Lin is here, if you don't eat your things, there will be no more by then." Turning around to take a look, Zheng Yiqian saw Zhong Lin pick up a folder and walk over.
This foodie came, and Liu Jun, who thought of this, picked up the plate on the table and put the two pastries on it in his mouth.
"Head, Baoji Wang Shizhen telegram." After coming in, Zhong Lin saw that Liu Jun still had a piece of osmanthus cake on his plate, and he took it very unceremoniously and put it in his mouth, and then said: "Wang Shizhen reports, the imperial court hopes that in the future, we will hand over Duanfang and others to them for processing." ”
Understand, such a request from the imperial court is not excessive, not too much at all, Liu Jun, who listened to the report, nodded and looked at the two people in front of him: "What about your opinions?" ”
"I don't object, this time it can be said that we are united with the imperial court, and we should support this kind of request from the imperial court." Zheng Yiqian thought for a while and said,
"I agree with my sister-in-law." Zhong Lin thought for a moment and then echoed Zheng Yiqian's meaning.
Then it was decided, and the opinions of the two made Liu Jun make up his mind, that is, after occupying Wuchang, he would hand over these people to the imperial court, of course, if they died, they would not count.
"What's going on in the imperial court these days?" Since he had already agreed to deal with Duan Fang and others, Liu Jun did not dwell on this, but asked Zhong Lin about the imperial court's arrangements for the Hunan region this time.
Zhong Lin had already received specific news from the front line, and without thinking about it, Zhong Lin walked to the map, picked up the command pole from the side and said: "Head, there are two ways for the imperial court to attack Hunan this time, the first way is to march from Chongqing Xiushan, and the commander of this force is Xiliang. The strength of the army is the first town of Chengdu plus 10,000 defenders of Chongqing, a total of 30,000 people. ”
"The second road is to Zunyi Mansion, Anshun Mansion, and Tongren Mansion, with nearly 40,000 troops. The commander is Li Yuanhong, at present, Li Yuanhong has passed Zunyi, and it is estimated that he has now arrived in Meitan County. ”
Li Yuanhong, hearing that the commander of the Second Route Army was Li Yuanhong, Liu Jun frowned, Li Yuanhong's personality, Liu Jun knows, is a fierce general, the Guizhou Army he leads, the combat effectiveness is also very worthy of recognition, the only bad thing is that the equipment is too poor, Liu Jun estimates that the entire Guizhou Army is 40,000 people, and there are less than 30,000 people who can use guns, that is, the remaining 20,000 people use bows and arrows and bird guns.
"Li Yuanhong's side is not easy to fight," Liu Jun, who said a word, pointed to the map and said, "Obviously, Li Yuanhong wants to march from Yuping to Huaihua, but he doesn't know that the troops in Huaihua now are 5,000 Hunan Army, and 3,000 Duanfang main forces that have just been transferred from Changsha. “”
What should I do, seeing Liu Jun say this, Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin both looked at Liu Jun with a confused expression, not knowing how to help the imperial court's troops in the Yuping area.
In Xinglong Town, Meitan County, after dozens of days of rapid horseback and whipping, Li Yuanhong led 35 of his personal soldiers to finally enter the Xinglong area at dusk on 25 April. and lived in the local garrison camp.
The neighing of the horses outside did not disturb Li Yuanhong now, after setting off from Chengdu, Li Yuanhong did not have any confidence in this expedition in his heart, all of this appeared from the troops in his own hands.
He knew that the imperial court was guarding against itself, otherwise, the imperial court would not reuse himself at the same time, he actually did not give himself any heavy troops, but only gave himself 40,000 local troops, local troops, Li Yuanhong knew too well, and the combat effectiveness was not very good, these can be tolerated, the key problem is that the weapons and equipment are too poor.
Originally, after leaving Chengdu, he estimated in his heart that although these 40,000 people were local troops, they also had 30,000 robbers, however, what Li Yuanhong didn't expect was that he still thought highly of it.
When passing through Zunyi Mansion, the Zunyi Prefect had accurately told himself that although the troops in Yuping this time were troops from three regions, there were only 13,000 people who could have guns, and even if these 13,000 people used guns, they were all troops from ten years ago.
To let himself lead these soldiers with swords and guns to fight is simply an act of looking for death.
"Commander, it's time to eat." No matter how upset he was in his heart, the soldiers outside still brought in dinner with Li Yuanhong.
His own soldiers, who were also the people who contacted the troops from all over the country this time, waited until the soldiers put the food on the table, and then Li Yuanhong asked the soldiers in front of him: "Have the soldiers and horses of the various departments arrived in Yuping?" ”
"According to the commander, the troops in the Anshun area have arrived in Yuping last night, and in addition, according to the latest news, from the Changsha area, 3,000 soldiers and horses have been mobilized again to enter Huaihua."
Damn, Li Yuanhong, who heard this, closed his eyes, and then waved his hand, signaling his own soldiers to leave.
How should I fight, Li Yuanhong, who closed his eyes, did not have any appetite, but sat there and closed his eyes and pondered.
Lushun, now Liu Jun, is also paying attention to this not very fair battle, just three hours ago, Zhong Lin again transmitted a telegram, that is, the end side has ordered that 3,000 men and horses from Chenzhou were mobilized again to start moving towards Huaihua, that is to say, the Huaihua area is no longer 8,000 people, but has exceeded 13,000 people. If you add the regimental training in this region, now in Huaihua, there are already 20,000 or 20,000 people, if this amount of troops is in front of Liaodong, it is nothing, but for the imperial court, especially the Guizhou army, which is extremely poorly equipped, it is a huge problem.
"Head, it looks like Li Yuanhong is going to walk on the tip of the knife this time and look for death." Zhong Lin, who picked up the apple, looked at Liu Jun in front of him and said with some concern.
Not only is he looking for death, but Li Yuanhong lost this time.
"We have to find a way, otherwise, if they fail to attack Huaihua this time, they may give up." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, handed Liu Junbox and Zhong Lin said after a cup of tea.
Zheng Yiqian's worries were also considered by herself, Liu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "You are right, we want to help the imperial court this time," (To be continued.) )
