After Li Yan received Zhang Xun's order, he directly ignored Zhang Xun's dissuasion, stubbornly held up his sick body, and then personally led Zhang Xun's henchmen and rushed all the way to the bridge, wanting to secretly dispose of the company that had gone crazy before everything was completely eroded.

Along the way, Li Yan hurried up, not daring to stop at all, thinking of the unknown consequences, Li Yan only felt that he didn't dare to think about it, Zhang Xun had always stuck to his old thoughts, and he didn't care much about the life and death of those small people.

However, Li Yan instinctively sensed that something was wrong, especially since the war with the south, the south made full use of public opinion, which made the north quite anxious, although the victory on the battlefield, but did not end up with any reputation, on the contrary, under the propaganda of public opinion, more people were full of sympathy for the revolutionary ranks, which made the southern revolutionaries like fish in water.

But fortunately, he persuaded Zhang Xun to agree with his opinion, otherwise

On the evening of the afternoon of the 28th, Li Yan finally rushed from Xuzhou City to Guanqiao Town in the south of Xuzhou, but at this time, he finally got the news that his destination, Zhouxing Village, had been reoccupied by Han Zhengjun, that is to say, his mission this time was a complete failure!

Li Yan, who was shocked, didn't have time to think about this matter, he didn't know how many troops Han Zhengfang had dispatched this time, and he actually completely occupied the defensive position of an entire company in less than half a day, so Li Yan became anxious in his heart, but on the surface, he forced himself to calm down even more, in case Han Zheng went crazy and led the army to attack Xuzhou, then it would be good-looking!

So, Li Yan didn't even have time to get Zhang Xun's appointment, so he hurriedly rushed to the direction of Qiaokou with the troops of the three battalions assembled in Guanqiao Town, wanting to prevent the situation from worsening.

On the morning of 30 September, Li Yan led a team of more than 1,000 people, and this time rushed to the area of Qianjin Village, not far from the bridge, to build a defensive line and station, and at the same time strengthened the defense force in the area around the bridge, continued to mobilize a large army, and confronted Han Zheng in the south, and informed Zhang Xun of the latest news here, which was waiting in the rear.

However, after arriving here, Li Yan found that Han Zheng's army seemed to shrink and was ready to defend, and did not find that Han Zheng continued to invade the Xuzhou area, so he was relieved, so the two sides stopped, but there was also a good result.

However, Li Yan also knew that this matter had become almost impossible, whether it was Zhang Xun or Han Zheng, they were eager to eat each other at this time, how could there be a basis for cooperation.

For this reason, thinking of the seriousness of this matter, Li Yan was a little afraid of an accident, so he had to write directly to his soldiers to hand it over to Han Zheng of the other party, to see if they could negotiate a way for both sides to get by in private, deal with this incident, prevent the incident from spreading outward, and have to say that the murderer has been punished, and once the two sides fight, it will not be good!

In the letter, Li Yan said very sincerely, and persuaded Han Zheng to calm down from several aspects.

After Han Zheng received this letter, he didn't have the slightest intention, if there had been no tragedy in Zhouxing Village before, if the other party had this spirit of consultation, Nezha might not be able to ask for it, but at this time it was too late!

Han Zheng wanted to tell the other party's messenger and ask him to send a message to Li Yan, but suddenly thought of the news he had found out from the people's department, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, remembering that he liked to watch the Three Kingdoms very much in his previous life, and he remembered a lot of the plot in it, so he naturally wouldn't forget it at this time.

Han Zheng did not let the messenger leave, but went back by himself, it seemed that he wrote a letter seriously, and then scribbled some ink drops on some key positions in his heart, so that the whole letter was full of unknown things, but he handed it over to the herald very solemnly, and repeatedly told the other party that this letter must be opened by Chief of Staff Li himself!

After sending this person away, Han Zheng then asked Xiang Jie's Second Brigade and his own guards and divisional regiments to leave the Zhouxing Village position directly, retreat twenty miles, and make a gesture of concession!

The place that was finally laid down was returned to the other party in this way, and several people under his command were dissatisfied with this order, especially Lin Xiang of the Second Brigade and the Second Regiment, who directly found Han Zheng to complain.

However, when Lin Xiang found the headquarters, the soldiers in the headquarters were packing their things, and there were not many important things here, so it was very convenient to pack up.

The guards of the headquarters saw that it was Lin Xiang and said hello to the other party, so they let the other party in, and after Lin Xiang disappeared from the tent of the headquarters, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, envying the identity of the other party.

Where would Lin Xiang have time to pay attention to the thoughts of these guards at this time, he directly opened the tent of the headquarters, and then walked in with his head down, wanting to say his thoughts, after all, when he fought here, it was his own troops, and everyone thought about avenging those brothers and innocent poor people who died in battle, and after learning Han Zheng's order to retreat, they felt quite uncomfortable.

After entering the headquarters, Lin Xiang saw that the commander was talking to some reporters, these reporters Lin Xiang had also seen several times in the past two days, and now not only local newspaper reporters, but also newspapers in Shanghai and Nanjing and other places, and the female reporter of the Northern Anhui Daily who Lin Xiang had a headache was also here.

Seeing that the commander was talking to those reporters, he also calmed himself down, and quietly waited for the end of Han Zheng's side beside him.

Han Zheng had already seen Lin Xiang coming over at this time, nodded at Lin Xiang, and motioned to the other party to wait for a while, and then continued to say to those reporters: "The biggest purpose of our military operation this time is to punish those executioners who slaughtered innocent people, not to provoke a war for the so-called as rumored by the outside world!" At this time, the purpose of our military operation has been accomplished, and as for other matters, we must consult with Mr. Zhang in the north. I think Mr. Zhang didn't know about this before, and if he knew, he would definitely punish the murderer. After this time, in order to avoid further misunderstandings, we will start to withdraw our troops first, and the barracks will be stationed thirty miles back, which is also to express our sincerity, and I also hope that Mr. Zhang will reflect the mood of my subordinate. “

This time, it was the female reporter who asked, "Does Ambassador Han think this matter will end like this?" And General Zhang's subordinates were expelled by the Han Patrol Envoy, will General Zhang think that this is a unilateral military provocation in northern Anhui and take retaliatory measures? “

"I don't think General Zhang should be able to, now the outside world is everywhere to promote the cruelty and tyranny under the headquarters of Mr. Zhang, but after all, it is an individual incident caused by a small number of soldiers who do not obey the general's orders, and Mr. Zhang should understand Han's heart to protect the people. Now that the Republic of China has been established, President Yuan Da is now preparing for drastic reforms to promote China's international status and the improvement of the people's living standards. The whole country is calling for peace, and we soldiers are now soldiers of the Republic of China, and we should adapt to the trend of the times, take the will of the president as the guide, adapt to the people's requirements for a better life, and make every effort to promote the stability and development of various places. ”

Han Zheng was obviously prepared for these problems, and it didn't take much effort to talk about them.

After saying this, there was a burst of applause from the reporters below, and then they lowered their heads and hurriedly wrote down what Han Zheng had just said.

They still have a good impression of this Han patrol envoy, and Han Zheng will not be like other military bigwigs, who see reporters like spies, and cover everything to death, for fear that these reporters will get any news. However, this young Han patrol envoy is different, he has been very polite to them reporters in the past few days, and will try his best to make their interviews as convenient as possible.

And these war correspondents who came here as their respective newspapers, because they reported what happened here truthfully and in detail, they already had some fame in the newspaper and even in the local area, and their respective newspapers also increased their salaries and allowances, for them, there was nothing better than this.

"Then I don't know why General Zhang's soldiers suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the stone platform and made a surprise attack on your garrison?" After this was asked by the female reporter of the Northern Anhui Daily, the other reporters around were quiet, this question is too sensitive, and they still don't know about this matter, in the past two days, everyone has been busy with the soldiers of the Braided Army slaughtering the people in a dirty way, but this matter is not known, is there something else in this?!

Thinking of this, those reporters finally couldn't sit still, this is news in the news, to be honest, although the original massacre made the listeners cry and regret, but this matter is related to the dirt between the two powerful factions! Naturally, the latter has a much more important influence on the poetry of northern Anhui.

"This matter is too sudden, I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, Mr. Zhang's side kept saying that his soldiers were lost, but there was no news from our side at all."

"Then, something happened that no one expected, some of the troops under Mr. Zhang did not obey Mr. Zhang's orders and launched a surprise attack on our garrison troops without authorization. I hurried after hearing the news, but I didn't even have time to deal with this matter, the next thing happened next, until now, Han someone still expressed regret about this matter, presumably there is some misunderstanding in it, if you get the news at that time, you will definitely notify everyone, everyone rest assured. ”

As soon as he said this, Lin Xiang next to him couldn't help but say loudly: "Commander, this matter is clearly something that Mr. Zhang did when he wanted to invade my Huaibei place, otherwise why would he have to garrison the army in the rear!" “

"Shut up! You're getting more and more presumptuous, who told you this? How could Mr. Zhang be this kind of person?! I don't want to hear that next time! Han Zheng snorted coldly, and suddenly shouted angrily, as if he was extremely angry.

However, in the eyes of those reporters, Han Zheng seemed to be hiding something at this time, as if he didn't expect Lin Xianghui to speak like this, so he reprimanded angrily.

"Hehe, everyone must know this one, I won't introduce much, let's go back and rest first? There are still some things to deal with here, and I will definitely tell you as soon as there is new news. ”

Soon, without waiting for these reporters to think about it, they were driven out by Han Zheng.

These reporters dispersed, but they believed what Lin Xiang said just now.

According to Han Zheng, it is really unbelievable that General Zhang's soldiers used the excuse that the soldiers were lost to cross the border, and the other party took the initiative to strike at what happened one after another, so that these reporters instinctively noticed that it seems that there is really suspense in this matter (to be continued.) )
