In Guilin, Lu Rongting, who had just turned 60 years old in Guangxi, listened to the arguments of his subordinate staff officers and rubbed his temples with his hands. 20,000 people besieged the city, but there were only two poorly trained brigades of more than 5,000 people in the city.

The military situation is like fire, even in the military and political axe, you can occasionally hear the sound of shells flying in from outside the city falling into people's houses and exploding.

"Supervise, there is Master Lu personally supervising the battle on the city wall, and Shen Hongying can't attack it." An old staff officer saw Lu Rongting's face full of sorrow, and carefully comforted him.

"Ahem, ahem...... Shen Hongying is ungrateful, and now he wants my surname. I thought that back then, I married him as brothers, but I didn't expect that now he doesn't even recognize me as a big brother. cough cough ......" Lu Rongting thought that he had been fighting for half his life, and finally being forced into a dead end by the righteous brothers of the year, sighed and sighed, but also couldn't help but feel some regret.

"Dad, take some medicine. Shu Sheng sent Western medicine from Yunnan to you. Lu Yunlun saw that his father was coughing non-stop, and secretly said that he was also old, and Rong Ma had fallen into a lot of old diseases in his life, and now that the army is besieging the city, how can the old man stand the toss.

Hearing Zhang Shusheng's name, Lu Rongting was originally a little distracted, but finally recovered a little, took the water and medicine, and waved his hand to signal the others to go out, "You guys go out first, let someone call Yunguang." ”

Lu Yunguang was not Lu Rongting's biological son, but he liked him very much, and after many years, Rong Ma was finally appointed by Lu Rongting as the commander of the most elite new first division, and was supervising the battle on the city wall at this time. The second son, Lu Yunlun, was born and has always stayed by his side as an adjutant.

"Dad, the situation in Guangxi is chaotic now. In my opinion, even if we can keep Guilin......" As soon as the outsiders went out, Lu Yunlun sat down next to his father and said his opinion while serving him to take medicine. But for fear of offending Lu Rongting's heart, he didn't say the following words.

He has been educated in a regular military academy and can read and see problems outside the army as an adjutant, and has a sober understanding of the erosive situation in Guangxi that surpasses that of many Gui generals.

"Shen Hongying has been being teased by others all these years, and his heart is becoming more and more wild, but I didn't expect him to dare to treat me like nothing and send heavy troops to attack Guilin."

The more Lu Rongting spoke, the angrier he became, and there was no outsider there, so he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and it shattered into several halves with a bang.

Father was angry. According to the child, no, it is better to send an urgent call to Yunyan and ask her for help. Under the banner of Shusheng, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers and well-equipped. As long as he is willing to send a brigade of soldiers, Guilin's predicament will ......"

"Shut up!!" Lu Rongting's face became ugly, and he scolded angrily, so frightened that Lu Yunlun didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a long time, Lu Rongting sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to hand over Guangxi to Shusheng as soon as possible, but here and outside, everyone is small, and they can't be in a hurry." With his character, I believe he is a man of love. However, once the Dongchuan army sent troops to Guilin......"

When Lu Yunlun heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, and his mind changed, and then he understood his father's thoughts.

Maybe he really wanted to leave Guangxi to Yunyan, firstly, to make a dowry for her, and secondly, to find a good way out for the Lu family and a group of Gui cronies. But this does not mean that my father wants to hand over Guangxi and Guilin now. I'm still too young.

Although he is the son of the tiger father, Lu Yunlun's mind is comparable to his father.

In Lu Rongting's view, the best step for Zhang Shusheng to take over Guangxi was to garrison the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces in advance, and use the absolute force of the Dongchuan Army to not only ensure the stability of Guangxi, but also deter the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, and then after he was old and weak, the Dongchuan Army would move eastward to take over the entire Guangxi.

However, Zhang Shusheng was not carried away by power and love, neither accepted the position of the envoy of the town of northwest Guangxi, nor did he send a single soldier into Guangxi, but only verbally promised the future.

From a private standpoint, he greatly appreciates this niece and son-in-law, and he is also happy for Yunyan. But from the perspective of the entire Lu family patriarch and his cronies in the Gui family, he had to calculate clearly.

In fact, Lu Rongting also understands that not only does he have calculations, but his niece and son-in-law don't have his own little abacus. In troubled times, a warlord without scheming can only become a stepping stone for others.

"Squeak~", a Type A car with a unique license plate in Dongchuan District stopped in front of the Guilin Military and Political Axe Gate, and the vigilant sentry came to take a look, it turned out to be the subordinate of the Dongchuan District Chief Zhang, and he was released after reporting to the inside.

"Report! Wei Sancai, director of the Dongchuan District Office in Guilin, asked to see the superintendent. ”

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Lu Rongting motioned for his son to go out and pick it up. From time to time, a man carrying a briefcase and wearing a dark gray khaki suit walked in behind Lu Yunlun.

"Mr. Wei, don't come unharmed." Seeing this wise young man, Lu Rongting couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Dongchuan District is really full of talents, and Wei Sancai in front of him is just a political axe officer sent abroad, and his momentum is actually quite extraordinary. A lot of cooperation between Guangxi and Dongchuan District has been achieved through him. This person is extraordinary, knows the big things, and acts quite assertively and measuredly.

"Thanks to the superintendent, everything is fine."

After the Huize Primary School incident, Wei Sancai was transferred from the post of deputy county magistrate and was appointed as the director of the Dongchuan District Political Axe Office in Guilin. As the spokesperson of the Dongchuan District Political Axe in Guilin, he has always been dealing with the Gui family, whether it is the construction of a simple road from Xuanwei to Guilin, or the negotiation of mining mines in Guibei, he has negotiated it. "The thief leader Shen Hongying dared to risk the world's disapproval and lead the crowd to besiege the city, which is really indignant. This time, Sancai came here to visit and supervise. Shen Hongying is just a thief, and the superintendent does not need to take it to heart, but must focus on his body. ”

Lu Rongting was slightly annoyed, if he didn't have to take it to heart, would he still need to eat and sleep? If you don't take it to heart, maybe Shen Hongying will come in and raid the house a few days later. This Shen Hongying he knows best, but in recent years, he has done a lot of burning, killing, and looting, once the city of Guilin is broken, his family will not escape, and it is estimated that the people of Guilin will also suffer.

"Director Wei, as the representative of Dongchuan District in Guilin, I don't know if he brought the latest instructions from General Zhang?" At the end of 23, Zhang Shusheng became a member of the Northern Political Axe Medal and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

"It may be to disappoint the superintendent, although Sancai reported the emergency situation to the district political axe as soon as possible, but unfortunately the confidential telegraph machine suddenly failed, and it is still in emergency repair, and I am afraid it will be difficult to receive a return call for a while." Wei Sancai said unhurriedly, this time he was just here to explore Lu Rongting's bottom line, and he didn't think about getting any real gains.

After listening to Wei Sancai's fluent explanation, Lu Rongting was silent, and Lu Yunlun saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he said: "Shen Hongying's intention to cause trouble in Guilin will definitely be difficult to succeed. There are more than 5,000 elite soldiers under the command of my eldest brother in Guilin City, and then Han Caifeng and other troops will return to Guilin, and the internal and external attacks will be attacked, and the Shen thieves will retreat. ”

Seeing this, Wei Sancai didn't speak, but opened his briefcase and took out a document marked with top secret, "Supervisor Lu, this is a piece of information I just received before I came, because the stakes are very high, Sancai is in charge of his own actions, and he is willing to bear the responsibility for violating the regulations, and he must also let the supervisor prepare early." ”

When Lu Rongting heard this, could there be any other disaster in his heart? took the information, opened it and looked at it, just for a moment, the document suddenly fell to the ground with a snap, and sat there stunned, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Father, father......" Lu Yunlun hurriedly helped him, then picked up the document on the ground, opened it, and saw that it read: Emergency call: Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's departments are frequently transferred, and it is suspected that there has been an abnormality in the near future. According to the insider secret report, Li and Bai seem to have been involved in the heart of Guilin.

"This, this ......" Lu Yunlun also sat back in his seat dejectedly, who are Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi? As a high-ranking officer of the Gui family, of course he knew what kind of people these two ambitious people who occupied several counties. Not only are they not the descendants of their fathers, but they have long had different intentions.

Once Li and Bai come again, how many troops in Guilin City will be left to resist them after the bloody battle of the Gui family?

"Everyone wants Guilin, but they all have to rebel, and they are all lawless......"

With a bang, Lu Rongting was furious, and no longer ignored Wei Sancai's presence on the spot, he pushed a vase on the table next to him to the ground, and the porcelain pieces that splashed were like the situation in Guangxi, and they were torn apart and difficult to clean up.

"Yunlun, immediately telegraph Han Caifeng and Chen Shuxun to come back to help, I want to go into battle in person!!" Lu Rongting got up angrily and was about to go out. Furious, he seems to have returned to the time when he was a bandit beating the French in Vietnam, and there was a kind of thieves who attacked and took it.

"Father's anger calmed me and made me ......"

"Report!"

Before Lu Yunlun could persuade Lu Rongting, an orderly soldier had already rushed in in a hurry, just blocking Lu Rongting's way.

"What happened?" Lu Rongting felt slightly wrong in his heart, and asked.

"Report to the superintendent, Yun, General Yunguang was unfortunately shot and killed when he was directing the battle on the castle tower......"

"Father, father...... Someone, someone!! ”

Before the orderly finished speaking, Lu Rongting felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell down at once, but fortunately, Lu Yunlun reacted quickly to catch him.

It wasn't until the evening that he woke up under the treatment of a Western doctor in Guilin.

Looking at the family members in a circle, Lu Rongting let out a dry voice: "What about Yunguang......"

"Dad, Erniang is accompanying the eldest brother in the West Courtyard and is changing the eldest brother's clothes......" Lu Yunlun lowered his head and whispered, not daring to tell Lu Rongting about the extremely tragic death of the eldest brother Lu Yunguang.

"Alas, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, you forced me. You want Guilin, you want Guangxi, I just don't give it to ......" After Lu Rongting woke up, he seemed to be much older, let his children help him to lie down, his eyes were dim, and he raised his hand weakly before he muttered to himself, and waved his hand: "Yunlun, generate electricity for Shusheng......

――――――――――Dongchuan, Lishuping!

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Come in!" There was a knock on the door, but Zhang Shusheng did not stop the pen in his hand, he was drawing an important function line on a drawing.

"Report, Guangxi Supervisor Lu Rongting urgently called!"

...... "Stand up!" ”

In the emergency conference room of the militia group, Zhang Shusheng stood there in military uniform, holding in his hand the battle plan for entering Gui that had already been made. Like all the generals, he endured the excitement in his heart, because the moment that the militia had been waiting for and preparing for a long time had actually come on this day.

Once Guangxi is occupied, it will mean that the cause of the militia will enter a period of rapid development.

"Chief of Staff Chiang, announce the battle order!" Zhang Shusheng, who was sitting at the top of the group, waved his hand and motioned for Jiang Baili to read out the order.

"Yes!" Jiang Baili was also very excited, and the militia had been looking for the best opportunity to expand. Although the dispute between Lu and Shen came very suddenly, it was the best opportunity to enter Guangxi.

"The order of the headquarters of the Dongchuan militia regiment on the operation in Guizhou: The troops in the operation in Guizhou this time are all the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, all the 1st Brigade of the newly formed reserve division, and all the 2nd Brigade of the newly formed reserve division, and the combat units have a total of three brigades.

The troops of the three brigades in Guizhou will be jointly commanded by Chen Jun, commander of the Second Brigade, Chu Shiwen, acting commander of the newly formed reserve division, and Jiang Baili, chief of staff. The specific plan of attack is announced below.

The 2nd Brigade must enter Guizhou from the direction of Xuanwei as quickly as possible, and launch an active attack on Shen Hongying's troops besieging Guilin with all their might.
