When the cavalry troops went north, Zhao Dongyun also dispatched another battalion of the Sixth Association to the north from Tongzhou, and then directly launched an attack on the Dongba area in the northwest direction.

Although the Sixth Town on the opposite side reacted in a timely manner and soon sent troops to intercept it, just like Yang Deming said before, the troops of the Sixth Town who came to intercept were not so conservative due to the lack of fortifications purchased in advance, and Gu Lanyu was relatively young, and his combat style was not so conservative, so he was no longer stubborn in conducting positional warfare, but used his movement tactics on a large scale, and with the cooperation of the cavalry battalion of the Third Town Division, he successfully outflanked Guò several times in a large area. The troops of the Sixth Town, which had come to intercept them, were forced to retreat in order to prevent them from falling into an encirclement.

And this retreat gave Gu Lanyu a chance to expand his results!

In the middle of this November, Gu Lanyu only led a four-infantry battalion, a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion, that is, the Twelfth Association of the Sixth Town, which was successfully defeated, retreated step by step, during which Gu Lanyu directly let the two infantry battalions carry out a forced march in the night, and successfully went around the side of the Twelfth Association of the Sixth Town on November 17, and then cooperated with the frontal attacking troops to completely defeat the standard.

After this battle, Gu Lanyu's name spread almost all over Beiyang!

He told the world that although heavy machine guns and trenches have become an indispensable part of modern warfare, sports warfare is still the mainstream of warfare.

This roundabout and aggressive combat mode actually has a strong Japanese style, of course, it is actually a German style in depth!

What tactics is the contemporary German Army known for? That's a roundabout attack!

The Japanese Army, which was taught by Germany, was also very good at roundabout attacks, from the Russo-Japanese War to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in later generations, the Japanese themselves played the same game for decades.

Beiyang, who also studied under the German Army, is actually good at this tactic, but in the past two years, due to Zhao Dongyun's heavy machine guns and trenches, coupled with the fact that the Japanese army has been defeated by the Russian army in several strategic detours on the battlefield of Mukden, many people think that the future war mode can only be positional warfare.

But now Gu Lanyu is telling the world with facts that sports warfare is still the mainstream of contemporary warfare, and the decisive factor in winning the war.

"Good! It's not worth what I expect from him! Zhao Dongyun showed a full smile after seeing Gu Lanyu's report of victory, although this Gu Lanyu can be regarded as his close descendant, but he was able to let Zhao Dongyun raise him to serve as the commander of the Sixth Association before entering the customs, naturally because of this person's good ability, otherwise Zhao Dongyun's descendants would have more subordinates, how could he choose Gu Lanyu to be the commander of the Sixth Association!

Chen Guangyuan, who was on the side, heard Zhao Dongyun's words, and felt very uncomfortable, his Fifth Association has been consumed in Tongzhou, although there is progress, and it has been pressing the Sixth Town and the Eleventh Association on the opposite side, but how to say it, it is that there is an advantage but it can't convert the results, and the delay in winning Tongzhou is the most obvious evidence.

But fortunately, Zhao Dongyun did not blame him much, after all, the reason for this situation was not Chen Guangyuan, but many other objective factors, and since the Sixth Association was transferred to the north, Zhao Dongyun did not expect to make any breakthroughs in Tongzhou, he had already put his hopes on the Sixth Association and the First Cavalry Association,

As for the Fifth Association, it can be qualified to contain half of the troops of the Sixth Town in Tongzhou.

However, it was precisely because of Zhao Dongyun's lack of hope that Chen Guangyuan felt a sense of crisis!

Whether it is the previous Beiyang system, or in the current small Soviet system, military exploits are an extremely important part, if he Chen Guangyuan wants to continue to climb up, and take over the position of the third town from Zhao Dongyun, then he has to show extraordinary qualifications and strength.

And there's nothing better than feats!

If Chen Guangyuan wasn't too worried about the position of the third town commander before, but now Gu Lanyu's sudden rise has given him a great sense of crisis, the two of them are the two leaders of the third town, if Gu Lanyu plays well in this war, and he Chen Guangyuan is mediocre, then it will be much more difficult for him to seek the position of the third town commander.

However, just when Chen Guangyuan was full of worry, someone from outside came to report, saying that someone asked to see him!

Chen Guangyuan saw Li San leaning over and saying a few words in Zhao Dongyun's ear, and saw that Zhao Dongyun's face changed slightly, although this process was very short, but it was still seen by Chen Guangyuan and others, and he naturally muttered in his heart at the moment: Who would move the commander!

However, they didn't get the answer for the first time, Zhao Dongyun quickly waved his hand and stood up: "This Sixth Association is playing well over there, tell Gu Lanyu to let him continue to work hard, I am optimistic about him!" ”

After that, he raised his hand lightly, signaling that the generals could leave, although Fang Biyong, Chen Guangyuan and the others looked curious, they didn't dare to ask, so they could only go out one after another.

Not long after, Li San personally appeared in Zhao Dongyun's temporary office with another person in a horse coat and civilian clothes!

Zhao Dongyun looked up at the person who came, this person is about sixty or so, although he is wearing a civilian clothes and horse coat, but the temperament of a high-ranking official can be seen at a glance, this person is not famous in later generations, but in contemporary times he is a veritable important minister, and he is one of the ministers of military aircraft who entered the military aircraft department after the new official reform this year: Lin Shaonian.

Of course, at this time, he was still the 'Minister of Military Aircraft to learn and walk' and had not yet officially entered the straight, but he was a shallow Minister of Military Aircraft, but even if he was a shallow Minister of Military Aircraft, he was also a Minister of Military Aircraft, but he was a veritable central minister!

"Lin Shumi!" After Zhao Dongyun saw the person coming, he just smiled and took the initiative to speak, but he didn't get up, but continued to sit, this is not that he is arrogant, but even if he is not the leader of the rebel army, according to the official system of the Qing Dynasty, his official position is higher than Lin Shaonian!

Lin Shaonian is a military aircraft with the rank of squire, and this military minister is only a part-time minister, so although Zhao Dongyun respectfully calls him 'Lin Shumi', this Lin Shaonian is strictly speaking a squire. As for Zhao Dongyun, he was the general of Sheng Jing and the rank of squire of the military department before, and later the Qing court awarded him the governor of the three eastern provinces and the title of secretary of the army department in order to win him over.

Although Zhao Dongyun did not give thanks, he could not deny the fact that Zhao Dongyun was the governor of the three eastern provinces!

So although Lin Shaonian is the Minister of Military Aircraft, Zhao Dongyun doesn't need to give him face in that aspect!

That Lin Shaonian obviously expected Zhao Dongyun's attitude, and saw him say loudly: "Yuan Gong called Zhao Butang the hero of Beiyang, very good at Chinese and foreign military affairs, and the world is the first military master of the contemporary Zhao Suqian, in the past, I thought there were many lies, but today I came to see that it is true, the sergeants I saw in and out of the barracks are all tigers and wolves!" ”

Lin Shaonian's mouth was just a horse patted over, to be honest, it was still very refreshing to be able to make a military minister pat himself on the back, so Zhao Dongyun also smiled kindly: "There, there, it's all the world's false praise!" ”

At this time, Li San had already come up with tea in person, but he didn't dare to stay, the current minister of military aircraft of the Qing court suddenly appeared in the military camp of the third town outside Tongzhou, and he also met Zhao Dongyun in person.

Li San has always been very self-aware, although he follows Zhao Dongyun every day, but he should not see or listen to things he hides away in time, even if he knows some extremely secret things, he also keeps his mouth shut, and his caution is also an important reason for Zhao Dongyun's trust for many years.

After Li San retreated, Zhao Dongyun sat down with Lin Shaonian, but before Zhao Dongyun could open his mouth and ask what was going on, Lin Shaonian was the first to speak.

"Ziyang, do you know that your ministry is becoming more and more dangerous!" Lin Shaonian's opening is alarmist!

However, this is not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if it is a romance novel, it is estimated that Zhao Dongyun will be frightened or curious to ask: "Why?" ”

But Zhao Dongyun scoffed at his words, come to be a lobbyist, just be a lobbyist, don't mess up those messy things, and directly open the price, Lao Tzu thinks it is appropriate, even if Wang Yingkai is sold to you Manchu, it is not impossible!

So he remained silent!

Lin Shaonian didn't hear the expected words, and immediately spoke again: "Now Ziyang, you and Wang Duan are already powerful, but have you ever considered that once you conquer the Jingshi, who will stay in the Jingshi?" If one of Wang Duan and the two of them stays in Jingshi, where should you go at that time? ”

Zhao Dongyun looked impatient when he heard this, is this Lin Shaonian in front of him stupid to read? Did he really think that he hadn't considered these gains and losses in detail before entering the customs, or did he think that he had entered the customs by patting his head!

Zhao Dongyun is more aware of the many troubles and problems he is facing now and in the future, so he doesn't need outsiders to remind him that he knows them, so he immediately waved his hand: "Privy, if you come here today and just say this, then I think we have nothing to talk about next!" ”

Lin Shaonian didn't show frustration when he saw it, but instead smiled loudly: "As I expected, Ziyang, you are a person with great wisdom, and you must also see the current situation!" In that case, I will be relieved! ”

The feelings are just pretending to be stupid, Zhao Dongyun is really speechless for these officials who like to play with small conspiracies!

Lin Shaonian continued: "Since everyone is a person who understands, then I won't talk too much nonsense, I came to your side today, I really want to ask Zhao Butang that you can withdraw from the army!" ”

"Oh, reason!" Zhao Dongyun responded casually, this negotiation, you have to come up with something.

Lin Shaonian stared at Zhao Dongyun at this time, and then took a deep breath and said two words: "King Liao"

"The Empress Dowager of the West Palace, as long as Ziyang retreats from the customs, you will be crowned the King of Liao, the three eastern provinces of the country, and rest with the country!"

Hearing this, Zhao Dongyun, who was drinking tea, directly squirted out a sip of tea!
