Ma Dafu, the logistics minister who got up in the morning and was in charge of cooking, personally led someone to bring breakfast in order to pat the official's ass, but when he walked outside the tent of the military headquarters, he didn't see the soldiers standing guard, and Ma Dafu scolded in his heart: "These eight lambs left their posts without permission, so they didn't know that they left two people to replace the guards, and they all went to sleep." Then Ma Dafu shouted outside the door: "Governor, are you up, I have come to bring you breakfast." But Ma Dafu shouted for a long time and no one answered, he had the courage to open the door curtain and look in, and saw that the tent was empty, shouldn't it, he thought in his heart, and then pulled the door curtain and called in twice, still no one, this is why he felt that something was wrong, opened the door curtain and rushed into the tent, and saw some messy desks in the tent and Wen Jiàn on the ground, then he realized that something was wrong, something was wrong.

Ma Dafu hurriedly ran out of the tent at the division headquarters and ran towards the guard regiment, at this time, Zhong Huairen, the head of the guard regiment, had just gotten up, when he saw the logistics minister stumbling over, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, "Director Ma, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhong Huairen asked.

Ma Dafu gasped and said: "Hurry up and go to the division headquarters to see, Yang Dudu and Chief Lu are not there, and not a single soldier of the guard regiment is missing, I'm afraid something has happened." ”

Zhong Huairen was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly called the soldiers to rush to the division headquarters, and after some search and inspection, it was determined that Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang were missing, and it was likely that something happened to them.

Zhong Huairen hurriedly asked his subordinates to call the commanders of each brigade and regiment, and after several brigade commanders gathered together, they learned that their two commanders had been lost. It was also very angry, and they accused Zhong Huairen of poor protection and should be sent to a military court.

"Everyone. Don't quarrel for now, the plan for now is to determine how the safety of the two commanders is, since the other party did not attack the barracks, presumably the lives of the two commanders are worry-free, we can't mess with it now, because the enemy is likely to be around us. "The person who spoke was Zhang Wensheng, the chief of staff of the 10th Division, and now he has the highest rank here. So the first one to stand up and speak.

Although Zhang Wensheng is the chief of staff of the 10th Division, he will definitely not be the master of these regiment commanders. Even when the two commanders were missing, no one in the military commanders below listened to his arrangement, because these people were either Yang Shande's cronies or Lu Yongxiang's cronies, and Zhang Wensheng, the chief of staff, was also pressed to death by the two commanders. Naturally, it did not establish any prestige in the army, so it was impossible for this group to form a unity at present.

An army that is not unified basically does not need to be expected to have any combat effectiveness. In fact, if you talk about it, the relationship between Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang is also very delicate, both of them are Yuan Shikai's favorite generals, but in the end they both took refuge in Duan Qirui, and the purpose of Yuan Shikai to arrange them to Shanghai was mainly to prevent Feng Guozhang's strength from penetrating into Shanghai, so that he could control Shanghai by himself. In other areas, there is no deputy envoy to protect the army, only Shanghai has such a strange position. It turned out that Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang already had a small climate when they were in other places. Now when you arrive in Shanghai, you naturally have to wear your cronies, so the 10th Division has become a large collection of cronies of two people. If the current model of well water and river water is used, infighting will inevitably occur after a long time. Fortunately, a few months later in history, Yang Shande hit Hangzhou and became the overseer of Zhejiang, and the two separated after running in the army, and there was no major contradiction, but it was impossible for such two people to elect a temporary leader.

At a time when everyone is at a loss. I heard a few sudden cannon shots outside, and the sound was muffled and far away. But these soldiers could definitely tell that it was the sound of artillery. Everyone stood up and walked out of the tent of the division headquarters, ready to see where the artillery was fired, this is a soldier running quickly, still holding a letter in his hand, shouting as he ran: "Someone sent a letter, saying that there is a letter from Yang Dudu."

You Youliang, the commander of the first regiment, snatched the letter from the soldier's hand, opened it and read it, and everyone gathered around to look sideways at the content of the letter, "Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang, two generals, are now guests in our military camp, I hope that your people and horses will not act rashly, so as not to cause accidental injury, the lives of Yang and Lu are guaranteed to be safe, please wait for the aftermath." "The signing is Wu Erzhu, commander of the first division of the Huafu Army.

Those who didn't see it clearly took it in their hands and looked at it again, and then they believed that things had really developed to the worst point, and their commander was captured by life, "So far, what can you do?" Chief of Staff Zhang Wensheng said.

"What else can I build, I can only wait for news." Someone said.

"Shall we give it a try and see if we can rescue the chief." Someone mentioned yì.

"What kind of fight, if the other party's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and attacks us Yang Dudu, can you afford it?" You Youliang, the head of the first regiment, turned his head and glared at the head of the regiment who spoke.

"What kind of are you, isn't our Lu Shuai in the hands of the other party, but what can we do now." The man was also glaring.

Zhang Wensheng saw that there was about to be an infighting, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Everyone, let's say a few words, it's all for the good of the two chiefs, the eagerness is understandable, but now we can't mess up, the chiefs are still waiting for us to save it, no matter what the method is, it is right to rescue the two chiefs." Zhang Wensheng's words went to everyone's hearts, so they all stopped arguing.

"I think it's better to wait, didn't you read the letter, the two chiefs don't have to worry about their lives, I believe that it is impossible for the other party not to keep their promises, after all, if you want to kill someone, you can do it last night." Said a regimental commander.

"You say how this Huafu army ran into our army of more than 20,000 people and kidnapped the two commanders, it's really a god." Zhong Huairen, the head of the guard regiment, who was angry with the head of the regiment, rolled his eyes, didn't he point at the bald man and scold the monk.

The regiment commander didn't give up, and asked Zhong Huairen directly: "I heard that more than a dozen people in your guard regiment are also missing, are they also captured by the other party?" The angry Zhong Huairen snorted and left directly, ignoring him.

Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang took a turn in the first division of the Huafu Army, and after seeing the military discipline, soldiers, and weapons and equipment of the Huafu Army, they returned to the division headquarters of the Huafu Army with a shocked expression.

"Division Commander Wu, the personnel and weapons and equipment of your unit have indeed surprised us, this is already comparable to the armies of Europe, right?" Yang Shande asked after seeing Wu Erzhu.

"No, I don't think even the armies in Europe have the best weapons and equipment we have." Wu Erzhu said with some pride.

"Division Commander Wu, I think we have no other choice, I can let the troops surrender, but we are here, and I don't know what the situation of the troops is, if they find out that the two of us are missing, they may make a bad reaction, and when the time comes, there will be a conflict with your department, this is what we can't control." Yang Shande said.

"I have sent a letter to inform the people of the 10th Division, and I believe they are now waiting for the decision of the two of them." Wu Erzhu said.

Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang glanced at each other, sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, it can only be like this, I will write a letter, please pass it on your behalf." ”

Then Yang Shande repaired a letter, Lu Yongxiang also signed his name on the letter, and then Wu Erzhu sent someone to inform the 10th Division stationed 20 miles away. Things are going very smoothly, the current people's * team, mainly based on the orders of the supreme commander, these troops lack faith, whoever is in charge of the food will listen to whomever the commander, so the commander spoke, and he happily surrendered.

More than 20,000 people surrendered their weapons and moved into the original Huafu army garrison empty-handed, but their freedom was restricted. It turned out that the second and third divisions stationed here were all sent to other places, so there were a lot of free places, just to accommodate these prisoners, Wu Erzhu did not abuse them, Guo Yu said that they were all soldiers of the Republic of China, and disputes only arose because of political disagreements, so there was no need to let the people below suffer.

These prisoners arrived at the barracks and lived in the dormitory of the Huafu Army, looking at the neat room and clean bedding, these people were a little afraid to touch it. When it was time to eat at noon, the meal horn sounded, these people gathered in the playground, the people of Huafu Army took them into the canteen to eat, the food here made these hard-working soldiers have a feeling of the New Year, everyone can eat the staple food casually, the steamed rice tube is enough, the dish is stewed cabbage pork vermicelli, each person also issued a canned meat, after eating dry rice and a large bucket of egg soup is placed there, casually serve and drink, this is a soldier, this is simply the local lord came.

Some of these people have not eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time, and if they were treated like this as a prisoner, then I would be a prisoner of Huafujun for the rest of my life.

Of course, Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang and the officers above the regimental level were naturally treated differently, and they were all invited to rest in the dormitory building of the division headquarters and wait for the unified treatment after the war. Of course, these officers are not slow to treat, and when they eat good wine and food, they are regarded as invited guests.

As for why this was done, it was all Guo Yu's arrangement. After learning that Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang were captured that night, Guo Yu was also very happy, and later, after careful consideration, he ordered Wu Erzhu to try his best to make the 10th Division surrender, because Guo Yu had a new idea, he was ready to collectively incorporate the 10th Division, of course, it was not easy to recruit those high-ranking officers, but Guo Yu still had a way to deal with those soldiers and low-level officers.

The current people's * team, what is most lacking, is a kind of spirit, because the current army is only the private soldiers of various large and small warlords, once their own generals have an accident, another place is commonplace, there are statistics in later generations, saying that although the warlords fought very frequently during the warlord melee period, but the number of dead people is not high, the army can fight a good war, once the battle is defeated or the battle situation is unfavorable, these soldiers will be passive and slack, and finally wait for the trump card troops in the hands of the warlords to fight for victory, in the victory side, although a little ridiculous, But that's what it's really like.

Guo Yu did not see Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang, because there was no need now, and it was not too late to wait for the end of the war. (To be continued) R655
