Chapter Eighty-Seven: You Don't Use a Sword to Kill (I)

The explosion on Wusheng Pass has not yet reached Xiaogan (). ~~ But the sky over this town of Gongwei Hankou Beida Mén has been cloudy, because the Jinghan line and the prosperous town of gypsum have completely turned into a large barracks.

The Second Association of the Left Route Army, the Fourth Association, the Second Regiment of the Right Route Army, two battalions, two artillery battalions and two new battalions that have just arrived, enough tens of thousands of people to fill here, with the Wusheng Pass in an emergency, there are more troops gathered here, and there will be a large number of soldiers and equipment sent by train every day, although it is not in agreement with Yang Qiu, but after driving him away, Sun Wu also knew that if he couldn't hold Xiaogan, he, the Minister of Military Affairs, might be over, so he deliberately moved nearly half of the equipment of Chuwangtai here, and he also wanted something to Zhang Jingliang.

The pervasive tense atmosphere caused the locals of Xiaogan to gradually move to Hankow, except for the hired masters and those who were reluctant to leave, there were not many people in the town anymore, and almost all the soldiers and military and political workers who happened to pass by.

The soldiers of the artillery unit of the Left Route Army stationed outside the town were wiping the artillery for pre-battle preparations, and several gendarmes at the mouth of the battalion were a little nervous, because the order to support Wushengguan had not been issued for a long time, and some of the soldiers who had lost patience yesterday had almost caused bloodshed when they stormed the headquarters, so they did not dare to get tired.

"Stop, the barracks are important, and you must not trespass"

As soon as Chen Haohui reached the entrance of Mén, he was stopped by the military police. hurriedly said: "Under Chen Haohui, I came to find Captain Zhang." "Looking for Captain Zhang?" The guards looked at him several times, and when they saw that he was dressed in a Confucian shirt, he did not look like a man with weapons, so they let him in.

The barracks are actually temporary requisitioned houses, and after Chen Haohui entered, he saw a short and sturdy man who looked like a tough soldier drinking alcohol, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother Zhenchen." ”

This shout, which I hadn't heard for a long time, made the wine glass in the man's hand slide suddenly, and he subconsciously pulled out his pistol, seeing him so nervous, Chen Haohui hurriedly waved his hand: "Big brother, I'm Xiaoliu"

"Little Liu?" The man was fierce, and after seeing it clearly, he was not happy but even more angry, grabbed him by the collar and scolded with a gun to his head: "Bastard, you still dare to come to see me? If it weren't for your poor protection, how could my father be caught and humiliated by Yang Qiu's dog thief?"

Others may not know who his father is, but Chen Haohui knows very well, because he was Zhang Biao's personal guard before joining the Right Route Army, and the one in front of him is not an outsider, he is Zhang Biao's eldest son Zhang Zhenchen, ** later took advantage of Luànhun to enter the artillery team, because he has a solid artillery kung fu, he was promoted to team officer, plus this artillery team was built later, but no one found his true face ().

After being held to the head by the gun, Chen Haohui instead pulled open his shirt, and said with red eyes: "In the past, the brothers all shouted at you, big brother, if the eldest brother thinks that Haohui is greedy for life and afraid of death, you might as well take a knife and come here, the gunfire will alarm the outside, and the eldest brother will not be able to hide, and the brother is ashamed of the handsome man who has cultivated for so many years."

Chen Haohui said sincerely, but Zhang Zhenchen was still a little unconvinced, and asked: "Don't chirp crookedly for me." I've heard, why did you kid join the Right Route Army to be a dog for Yang Qiu? Want to recruit me now? ”

Chen Haohui slapped the big tui, and he took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and slapped them on the table, and said with a red face: "Big brother really thinks that Xiaoliu is greedy for life and afraid of death and betrays the handsome?" That's because I'm afraid that no one outside will pass on the news, so I have to agree, this is the one thousand taels they gave me, brother, I haven't touched half of the eldest son, if the eldest brother still doesn't believe it, then just kill me. ”

Zhang Zhenchen really believed it when he looked at the silver ticket, because Chen Haohui's family was poor, and several younger siblings had to rely on him as a soldier to support, he was very shabby when he was by Zhang Biao's side before, and he was also teased by him and other guards, in his thought, if he really took refuge in Yang Qiu, how could he not send this money home, so he put the gun on the table and said, "Say, what's the matter today?" ”

"Of course, it's to kill Yang Qiu and save the handsome"

"Kill Yang Qiu?" As soon as he heard these three words, Zhang Zhenchen almost jumped up, although his experience was much worse than Zhang Biao, he was not a fool, not to mention that Chen Haohui also joined the Right Route Army, so he hummed a few times and didn't speak (). The god in his eyes has betrayed him. Seeing this, Chen Haohui tore open his jacket, took out a letter from the crack and said, "It doesn't matter if the eldest brother doesn't believe me, but Lord Qin Chayin and Lord Feng Guozhang, the military commander, should believe it, right?" Brother, I risked my death a few days ago to go to Xinyang, and the military commander personally told me that the Wusheng Pass would be broken today As long as the Wusheng Pass is broken, Yang Qiu will definitely lead the rout to Xiaogan, here his right army is only four battalions, and they are all deployed on the west side of the water, this is the best opportunity."

Zhang Zhenchen's eyebrows jumped twice, the letter did indeed have Yinchang's Qincha seal, as well as Feng Huafu's handwritten promise, but he had never seen the handwriting of the two, so he was still a little suspicious in his heart. Chen Haohui added the fire, opened the barrel and tied Tuilu out of two brand-new nine-millimeter Hanyuan-style pistols (Hanyang M1911 nine-millimeter version), pulled out the pistol and put the magazine on the table, and said: "This is a brother who risked his life to steal from the Hanyang factory, and I also contacted more than 40 original brothers, and the golden leprosy of the Yangtze River Gang also brought more than 100 people to Wolongtan to stand by." ”

First of all, it was said that only the core personnel of the Right Route Army could be equipped with pistols, and there was a golden leprosy dysentery who had assassinated Yang Qiu and was inseparable from him as foreign aid, Zhang Zhenchen believed it at once, and immediately lowered his voice and asked: "Little Liu, my brother was offended a lot before, you." ”

"What is the eldest brother talking about." Chen Haohui deliberately spoke vulgarly, took out the cigarette roll and handed it over, and then nodded urgently: "At this moment, how can there be so many rules, the important thing is to take the opportunity to launch, ** Yang Qiu, a bastard, rescued the handsome Lord Qincha has agreed, as long as we can kill Yang Qiu and cooperate with Beiyang to stir up Xiaogan here, not only the handsome can be reinstated." Big brother, you are also the top of the second grade."

Zhang Zhenchen's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he wore the second grade? That is second only to the top of the feudal officials, but thinking about the current strength comparison, he sighed: "Little Liu, it's not me who said, even if Yang Qiu escapes here, there will definitely be heavy troops to protect him, and I'm afraid of relying on a few of us alone." ”

"Don't be discouraged, brother, brother hasn't finished talking yet." Chen Haohui looked outside, closed the mén tightly and said in his ear: "The eldest brother has the artillery team in his hand, as long as the artillery team first makes Xiaogan trouble, and then takes the opportunity to say that Beiyang will attack the artillery port and transfer it to the camp where Yang Qiu is stationed." ”

"But how do you do it?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhenchen hadn't figured it out yet, Chen Haohui sighed deeply in his heart, if Zhang Biao could barely be regarded as a tiger father, this person would really not even be a dog, no wonder Bazhen would be quickly controlled by the Kuomintang, it seems that his choice is still right, so he immediately said: "Big brother, why did you forget Lord Zhang Jingliang?" He is a front-line commander, and more than 10,000 people are under his control, even if the party is powerful, it is impossible for him to have no cronies. If Feng Juntong didn't tell a lie, then after the pass was broken, Ma Biao would go to Xiaochang tomorrow, and at that time, as long as the armory was given to not mention 10,000 people, even if it was several times more than the army's heart, it would be all happy. ”

Zhang Zhenchen gasped. I didn't expect Chen Haohui to want to burn down the arsenal directly, but I have to say that this is a great opportunity. As for Zhang Jingliang, he has long been in contact with him, and he was still dissatisfied with the party's domineering, saying that he would swear allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, and at this moment he is in power, and he has Liu Xiqi and these helpers, and the armory is directly watched by Luo Jiayan under him, and it is really easy to set fire to it.

Waiting for the Beiyang Ma Biao to come tomorrow, after setting fire to the arsenal on his side, the people's army will inevitably be discouraged, as long as he takes advantage of the luàn to turn the muzzle of the cannon to Yang Qiu's camp, then Zhang Zhenchen's eyelids will skip a beat. After thinking about it, he grabbed the Han Yuan pistol: "Go, follow me to see Zhang Jingliang, if the news of Wusheng Guan Po really comes later, we will be the same thing, and my brother will be married to you in this life, and Jin Lan will be blessed and shared." ”

Chen Haohui thanked him for packing up his clothes, and after hiding his gun, he walked to the Xiaogan command post together, and he could see the famous party officers from time to time along the way, Zhang Zhenchen couldn't hide things in his heart, his teeth were clenched, and he secretly said that he would kill these guys after he made a move, and then walked into the command post with Chen Haohui secretly shaking his head.

Zhang Jingliang was discussing with Liu Xiqi how to suppress the soldiers' emotions, and his face changed in fright when he saw him: "Zhenchen, why did you come here?" Go back quickly, if an acquaintance meets me, how can I be worthy of the handsome"

Zhang Zhenchen also felt a little warm in his heart, after all, he was able to hide his name in the army to this day thanks to his care, so he hugged his fists and said his intentions again, and introduced Chen Haohui to the two of them.

Zhang Jingliang and Liu Xiqi had already made up their minds to give Beiyang a generous gift, and picked up Yinchang's handwritten letter and found that it didn't look like a fake, but they said in the letter that today's Wusheng Pass would be broken or the letter would be suspicious, who didn't know that Yang Qiu was personally commanding there, and in the past few days, relying on the geographical advantage to fight against Beiyang Jingrui has also fought like a good one, how can it be said that it will be broken, so he immediately turned his eyes to Chen Haohui ().

Chen Haohui is also anxious, it has passed noon at the moment, if it is broken in the morning, it will be enough to come back quickly to report, why is there no news so far? Could it be that something went wrong over there? But now he must grit his teeth and bite the bullet and say according to the words planned before: "The Lord of the Commander doesn't know, there has been news from there before he comes back, the emperor has appointed Yuan Gongbao as the prime minister to govern the country's soldiers and horses, Beiyang is his descendant, and he will definitely try his best to win Wusheng Pass to celebrate his achievements."

These words made a few people believe it a little, who didn't know that the real controller of Beiyang was Yuan Shikai, and if he came out of the mountain, I am afraid that this army would not be delayed. When Liu Xiqi was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the three people who had ghosts in their hearts suddenly trembled in fright, Zhang Jingliang hurriedly arranged the two behind the screen before shouting: "Who is making noise outside?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw two soldiers running in quickly, and as soon as he entered the mén, he shouted: "The commander is not good, the Wusheng Pass has been broken."

"Hu Yan Luàn Yu closed yesterday and reported that he was safe and sound, why." Zhang Jingliang was taken aback, and just now said that he would break the test today. Now the news came, and in order to verify it, he grabbed the sentinel's collar and asked again viciously.

The soldier who reported the news was trembling with fright, but the matter was so important that he didn't dare to delay and immediately said: "My lord, this is true, the fast horse sent by Commander Yang is outside, and he also said that he will take the troops back to Xiaogan to rest at noon tomorrow at the latest, so that the adults can be ready to respond."

Zhang Jingliang is worthy of being an officer who graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and he dare not say how powerful he is in the war, but he has a much better grasp of the situation than the party officers, and his eyes rolled under the pretext of guarding against Beiyang, and he ordered He Xifan to take all the two associations into Xiaochang, and after transferring this biggest thorn in the eye, he ordered to set up a camp at the station again, so that Yang Qiu, who had been guarding Wusheng Pass for several days, could rest temporarily.

Chen Haohui, who heard these orders behind the screen, finally landed on the ground in his heart, and the corners of his eyes swept away, and Zhang Zhenchen's face was already full of excitement
