Chapter 54: Cai Ye Enters Hunan (1)
"Cake? What cake? What did you two steal behind my back? Recruit from the truth. ”
Fang Qidao hit his horse and caught up from behind, he had just finished dealing with a soldier brawl, and recently gathered a large number of routs, and the discipline of the army had taken a sharp turn, and he had to spend a lot of energy every day to calm down all kinds of negative feelings. At the beginning, Wu Xiaoliang developed a whole system to attract the ideas of the soldiers, and wrote a plan, but he still did not think so, and now it seems that after the war, he should study and study the plan, and if feasible, he will immediately implement it.
Fu Zuoyi blinked and teased: "When did Zhizhi become greedy?" Are you interested in this cake? ”
"I think you're going to eat this cake, and the Hunan Overseer is just right for you." Fang Qidao glanced at him.
Of course, Fang Qidao understood that Fu Zuoyi was trying his best to encourage Wu Xiaoliang to fight for the position of the Hunan overseer, which was extremely beneficial to everyone, but he couldn't say anything wrong. Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang doesn't seem to be very concerned about this matter, there is a faint disappointment in the deepest part of his heart, serving the country and joining the army, and paying homage to the prime minister, who doesn't want to?
Wu Xiaoliang smiled bitterly, they all regarded this Hunan overseer as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but they didn't know that when they reached the top, one more step was the abyss. How deep is the water in Hunan? There are Tan Yanhong, Zhao Hengxi, the current overseer Fu Liangzuo, Hubei overseer Wang Zhanyuan, and recently there is another Zhang Jingyao, each of whom is eyeing each other, which of these people is a fuel-efficient lamp? If you don't do it, you won't recover. But after another thought, people say that young people must be frivolous in doing things, why are they afraid of wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, so what if they fight? “”
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly brightened, "Yisheng, Zhizhi, let's go to Changsha Mansion and sit on the Overseer chair." ”
Fu Zuoyi and Fang Qidao were both happy in their eyes, and they were about to speak, when a communication soldier came to report:
"Brigade Commander, Beijing Vice Commander Xu telegram."
"Read!"
"My brother Weizhong, Cai Songpo went out of Sichuan, Zhang Xunchen was defeated in Yiyang, be careful and stabilize the situation."
"What? Cai Songpo out of the river? Fu Zuoyi and Fang Qidao said in unison, Zhang Jingyao's defeat was a good thing for them, but Cai Songpo's famous protector of the country, and intervening in Hunan was a big bad thing.
"Zhang Jingyao, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, ......was defeated," Wu Xiaoliang was surprised that this Zhang Dashuai was so ineffective in combat. Historically, Cai Ye was already an ancient man at this time, but the arrival of Wu Xiaoliang changed the course of history, not only did he not die, but he also continued to govern Sichuan as his Sichuan overseer.
The shape changes three times in one day, Zhang Jingyao's army is defeated, Cai Yi enters Hunan, Tan Haoming should not withdraw his troops obediently, and Tan Yanmin is estimated to be ready to move.
Suddenly gunshots rang out ahead, the radio ticked, and the announcer hurriedly answered the report.
"Brigade commander, the 2nd Regiment has exchanged fire with an army of unknown origin in Miluo Town, please ask for instructions on how to act." The operator nervously reported.
When Wu Xiaoliang arrived at the fortified position of the first regiment, the enemy army had already begun to retreat, he held a telescope and frowned, seeing that the uniform system was obviously not the Gui army, the Gui army was a dark gray military uniform, which was quite similar to the Beiyang army; It will not be the Hunan army, which is extremely poor and has extremely ragged military uniforms; And this group of people has a neat military appearance, the color of the military uniform is light gray and blue, it should be a third-party centaur, could it be that Cai Songpo has arrived? This is the answer he is most reluctant to come up with, he is extremely unwilling to fight with Cai Ye in the bottom of his heart, not only out of respect brought by his previous life, but also because he has lived with Cai Ye for three months, Cai Ye is not only the face of the guardian god of later generations, he is flesh and blood, and he is a mentor and friend.
But the reality is often so cruel, and what is in front of Wu Xiaoliang is a difficult choice.
The scouts brought back the news that after the unknown army was blocked from crossing the river, they retreated to Gupei Town, seeing that there was at least one division in size, and it was under the banner of the first division of the Sichuan Army. This confirms Wu Xiaoliang's conjecture, but I don't know if the first division of the Sichuan Army is led by Cai Yi or Jiang Baili?
The Fourth Mixed Brigade was unable to cross the river and had to be stationed in Miluo Town on the north bank of Mishui. This person, dressed in civilian clothes, claimed to be Adjutant Cai Yi, saw Wu Xiaoliang salute, and handed over a letter:
"The marshal wants to meet with Brigadier Wu."
Wu Xiaoliang also saluted: "There is labor." ”
Unwrapped the envelope, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, with a line of skinny silver hooks: My brother in Weizhong, Fengtian has been saying goodbye for many years, and I think about it very much. After dusk tomorrow, Mishui Nandu will meet, and the brother will look forward to the arrival of the younger brother.
Wu Xiaoliang closed the letter, thanked the adjutant, and gave him a gift out of the barracks. Fu Zuoyi looked worried, and immediately stopped:
"Weizhong, don't go." Fang Qidao also agreed: "Yes, the commander of the first army must not take risks himself. ”
Wu Xiaoliang shook his head, but smiled, "Brother Yisheng, Brother Zhizhi, what we have to think about at this moment is how to enter Changsha, not to see Cai Songpo." Of course Cai Ye wanted to see him, he didn't believe that the person he respected the most would be so unscrupulous and trap him. He didn't want to fight against him, and the moment he saw off his lieutenant, he suddenly had an idea.
When the two saw Wu Xiaoliang say this, their faces were full of doubts, and Fang Qidao was puzzled: "The Sichuan army is in front of them, and the Gui army has reinforcements, how easy is it to march into Changsha?" ”
Wu Xiaoliang came to the map, pointed to Fengjialing downstream along the Mishui with his finger, and knocked twice, "Brother Yisheng, this time you will go into battle in person, and the troops will cross the river and attack Changsha overnight." The Gui army must be defenseless, and Changsha can be taken down in one go. I stayed in Miluo to stabilize Cai Songgong, and when he got the news, it was too late to save him. ”
Fu Zuoyi stared at the map and groaned, Fang Qidao was anxious, and said: "Fengjialing is a hundred miles away from Changsha, but how long will it take to get there?" ”
"At most one day and one night, otherwise you may not be able to pay full respect. I only left the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, and the rest of the people were all taken away. Wu Xiaoliang glanced at Fang Qidao, "Zhizhi you also go, cooperate with Yisheng, and take Changsha." "It's a big gamble, you win and you have a lot of money, and you lose and you have nothing.
Fu Zuoyi pressed his hands on the map, looked at it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, even if you break your leg, you have to rush to Changsha before this time tomorrow, and kill that Tan Lao'er to turn over on his back alone." ”
Fang Qidao was not worried that Wu Xiaoliang only left one regiment by his side, "Weizhong, leave another regiment in case of accidents." ”
Wu Xiaoliang waved his hand and said: "The more you bring, the greater the chance of victory, not to mention the thousands of defeated soldiers that have been recruited, the attack is not successful, and the defense is still more than enough." ”
After making a plan, the Fourth Mixed Brigade began to leave the camp quietly, and some people only said that they were going to pick up Fu Duanjun. The MGO8 heavy machine gun and the 75mm 1897 field gun were mounted on mules and horses and pulled upside down, which was the killer feature of the 4th Mixed Brigade.
