It's still this restaurant, it's still a big bowl of shredded chicken noodles, and the habit of maintaining it for decades won't be easily changed, not to mention that the owner here is extremely conservative, but compared with the lifelessness of a month ago, the lion alley is lively again at this moment, and since Yuan Gongbao's body miraculously "recovered" the grand scene of people coming and going every day ().

Yuan Shikai was wearing a plain shirt, his face was ruddy, and he was snoring very happily when he ate a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, which made Duan Qirui, Lu Rongting and others who were standing on the side secretly surprised, what made the body that doctors Yang said to take care of it recover all at once? And looking at this posture, it is even more fierce than before. Only Yang Shiqi was worried beside him, because only he understood that behind the miracle "recovery" was a pack of cigarette paste that had been burned in excess of it, a costume that took an hour to draw every morning, and a constant cough and pain at night.

But no matter what, this kind of "rehabilitation" still shocked the spirit of Beiyang, Liang Shizhao obediently sent the money over, Jiang Guidi honestly let the Yi army into battle, and those proud soldiers and fierce generals in Beiyang also fought honestly, and even Duan Qirui, who rarely visited the door some time ago, came to report the war situation every day ().

"The eunuch has retreated to the area of Luohe and Xuchang."

Duan Qirui took the trouble to report the situation of the battle, although he was very dissatisfied with Chen Eun's easy loss of Xinyang, but Yuan Shikai was not angry at all: "The battle is not a day or two can be over, in front of the second nunnery is the vigorous southern army, rather than stubbornly defending and exhausting our little family foundation, it is better to retreat to frustrate its sharpness." That Wu Xiucai also sent a telegram to commend him, and he was able to survive and reinforce Tongguan, forcing the four brigades of the Southern Army to move south quickly from Shaanxi, hehe...... It shows that I still have talents in Beiyang. Yuan Gongbao said that it was a talent, of course everyone nodded vigorously, only Duan Qirui was dissatisfied, and the Yanshi was about to be lost, if someone copied the back road of Zhengzhou, I don't know who would cry.

"Is there any news from Yanshi?" Yuan Shikai is also a person who knows the soldiers, the importance of the Yanshi is no less than that of Zhengzhou, it is too confusing to see through such a big gap, Lu Rongting stepped forward and bent down like a meritorious person: "Gong Bao rest assured, a mixed brigade of the Sixth Division has crossed the Yellow River to Xingyang, and the Yi Army has also sent people over, tens of thousands of people are blocked in the north to pay a brigade, how can it be held for a month or two, as long as Tongguan can be kept, there is no problem." ”

Yuan Shikai nodded, in fact, as long as tens of thousands of troops can hold Zhengzhou to the death and prevent the other party from crossing the Yellow River, the south is the key, but remembering that Duan Zhigui's second army is still grinding, Ni Sichong died in vain, and his heart was irritated as if something was digging, and he snorted coldly: "Haven't Cao Duan and Li Chun been defeated yet?" What to eat! There are only a few miscellaneous Southern Army, and the old man casually sent someone to fight it! ”

Lu Rongting comforted: "Gong Bao rest assured, Chief Duan has already urged Xiangyan and Cao Kuan to them, and I believe that there will be good news in a few days." ”

"That's good, that's good." Yuan Shikai said twice before slowly putting down the chopsticks, the war is not over in a day or two, now it depends on who can survive, as long as he survives Yang Qiu's three-plate axe, Beiyang has hope to turn the tables, but a trace of haze in his body swept over his head, and when he raised his head a moment later, his eyes returned to his former sharpness, looked at Yang Du and asked, "Huizi, how is the British side?" Yang Du said: "Back to Gongbao, His Excellency Zhu Erdian said yesterday that the British, French and Russian banking groups have preliminarily agreed to a loan of 20 million yuan, but the conditions have not yet been negotiated, and they insist on the right to build the Guangdong-Hanhai line and the Longhai line, and they will also be fully responsible for the salt tax in Jiangsu. ”

Yuan Shikai frowned, and secretly said that these powers were too greedy, but now he had no choice, either lose or win, sighed and said: "Promise, anyway, it is said that we have betrayed the country, selling less and selling more are the same, my condition is that the loan must be received before the end of April ()." Yang Du sighed in his heart, he really didn't want to be in charge of this kind of errand that was not very good and would even be nailed to the pillar of shame, but he had already guessed how Yuan Shikai "recovered" quickly, this matter was too secretive, and after recovery, he also knew that he had little time, so he began to clean up the interior, and many people had already disappeared, so he didn't have to come forward to persuade him not to be an unexplained wronged ghost, and said: "Gong Bao rest assured, since Zhu Erdian's side has been relieved, and now there are two railway construction rights, I believe that he will be able to get a loan." ”

"Okay, you can do it now, we'll ...... Time is running out. ”

"Yes."

After Yang Du hurriedly went to handle the loan, Yuan Shikai's face seemed to be more ruddy, as long as he got the loan, he was sure to win the battle, and said: "Zhiquan, now we in Beiyang can rely on you, and the British loan has no eyebrows, so you have to stick to me until May no matter what, as long as the loan is down, the old man will give it all to you!" ”

Duan Qirui heard that he could get a loan as long as he kept it, and he was about to nod happily, but suddenly there was a rush of running sound behind him, and before he could see the voice, he came in: "My lord!" Oh no, sir! The opening is lost! Yellow River...... The Yellow River Zhengzhou Railway Bridge was also lost! "What!"

Duan Qirui hurriedly grabbed the captain who came to report, and scolded: "Bastard, full of nonsense, yesterday Chen Eun also reported to me that Luohe was safe and sound, how could he lose Zhengzhou overnight!" ”

The lieutenant was so frightened that his face was so pale that he was about to cry, and he took out a telegram in a trembling voice: "It was sent by Lord Zhang Zhenfang, this morning in the middle of nowhere, a southern army from nowhere quietly took Kaifeng, and crossed Zhengzhou with Mao Shi and rushed straight to the bridge, and the two battalions of the Sixth Division who were just preparing to cross the bridge were surrounded and disarmed. Although the Yi Army and Xiangyong were organized many times to recapture, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and the bridge had been lost! ”

Listening to all the reports, Yuan Shikai, who was still ruddy just now, brushed his blood faded, just now he thought that as long as he could defend Tongguan and Zhengzhou for a month or two, he would not let Henan and Shaanxi join forces, and he would be able to counterattack when he got the loan, but as soon as the words fell, the Yellow River was cut off on the Jinghan line! If it can't be recaptured as soon as possible, nearly 100,000 troops in Henan ......, ()!

"My lord! Oh no, Shanxi just sent a telegram, Yan Xishan announced that he would join the National Society, and also said that the Jin army was willing to accept the reorganization of the central government, and sent troops south to do their best to end the civil war as soon as possible! "It's over!"

"It's over!"

Whether it was Yuan Shikai who was sitting still, or Duan Qirui who was already panicking, or Yang Shiqi and Lu Rongting, they all knew that this was the end! Originally, he would be safe and sound if he recaptured the bridge at any cost, but now that Yan Xishan suddenly came to such a hand, he was obviously prepared! Before, a brigade of the Jin army was deployed in Jincheng, which was not far from the bridge, and it was only more than 100 miles away, and it was possible to reach the bridge in one day.

Without the 100,000 troops of Henan, what can the south do even if it hits Nanjing? As long as Yang Qiu crosses the Yellow River along the Jinghan Line and then turns around and enters Shandong to Jining, cutting off the Jinpu Line, Duan Zhigui and their ability to turn the sky will have no way out!

Whether it was Jiang Zuobin or Li Yuanhong, even Cai Fang, who put forward the battle plan, did not expect that only eight armored vehicles, 70 trucks and a heavy brigade would forcibly march 210 kilometers in 16 hours, during which they also completed the task of destroying a brigade of the enemy in Ningling and sneaking into Kaifeng City, and finally even simply seized the Yellow River Bridge of the Jinghan Railway in one fell swoop, completing a classic long-distance intersperse!

Even Yang Qiu himself didn't expect that the interspersed tactics of the armored soldiers he asked Ouyang Wu to bring would be so successful, Qiu Wenbin's comprehension ability was also very high, and he insisted on the style of playing that he only regarded the armored soldiers as interspersed and roundabout forces, and never touched them head-on, and completed this feat!

No one expected that the Northern Expedition, which was originally thought to take at least three months, would change dramatically in less than a month!

Li Yuanhong's eyes were smiling, looking at Yang Qiu, who was still calm standing in front of the map, and he had admired him in his heart, if he hadn't insisted on Cai Yu's style of play, or if he hadn't ordered someone to go to Europe to buy armored vehicles...... I don't know how long the war will last.

No more suspense!

Yan Xishan's largest wall grass, at the most critical moment, sent out a national telegram, a Jin army brigade of more than 3,000 people from Jincheng south, at most only one day to converge the 103rd brigade, cut off the Yellow River (). 7,000 people, nearly 100 artillery pieces guarding a bridge, plus the protection of the cavalry regiment, how can it support four or five days, there are four or five days...... It's enough to change the situation on the northern front!

"Attack!"

Yang Qiu slowly raised his hand, all eyes were attracted by his raised hand, and the command hall instantly fell silent: "Order Yue Peng, immediately attack Luohe, Xuchang, at any cost." Order the Fourth Brigade to abandon all entanglements along the way and go straight to Zhengzhou"...

"Order Ouyang Wu to attack Suzhou! Order the 2nd Brigade and the 101st Brigade to start a counteroffensive! Orders 10, 1

The 1st, 12th, and 13th Infantry Divisions stopped regrouping and immediately set off to attack north! "Order the 12th Brigade and the 18th Brigade to attack Tongguan and cut off Fenglingdu to ensure that the 8th Beiyang Division cannot enter Shanxi!" Ordered Yan Xishan, don't keep the remaining brigade, and immediately go south to Jining! Although it was taken away by the noisy guests, Cai Yi was deeply wise about Yang Qiu's order, and at this moment the quiet news of the occupation of the Yellow River Bridge must have spread all over Henan and Xuzhou, and the morale and morale of the First Army of Beiyang after the way home was cut off must have suffered a big setback, and only by using the attack to contain the enemy, Chen Eun could not take out his hand to return to Zhengzhou.

As the order was issued, the command hall became busy again, and orders began to be sent to the troops along the airwaves.

"Hehe, Chenhua is really accurate, but isn't this too urgent? I'm afraid that Beiyang will fight to the end! Li Yuanhong was a little worried about Yang Qiu's general attack order, but Cai Yu guessed his mind and said: "Don't blame the commander-in-chief for being in a hurry, if you can't advance into Shandong as soon as possible, I'm just afraid." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Zuobin suddenly raised his eyebrows: "[Day] Ben?!" "Order the remaining combat ships of the navy to immediately go north to the Bohai Strait, and remind them to bring enough mines to block the camp." Yang Qiu's eyes were cold, and after giving the last order, he turned his head to look out the window and looked out the window when the chairman of the National Committee of the People's Republic of China hit Xuzhou in the history of the Northern Expedition. ……！。
