After listening to Bai Chongxi's jihua, Li Zongren was stunned for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "Jiansheng, when it comes to using soldiers to fight, the foolish brother is not as good as you, just do what you say."

Bai Chongxi smiled leisurely: "Adjutant, when Li Dachao and them come back, I will invite the guests just now to come over." ”

As soon as Li Zongren heard this, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Jiansheng, I noticed something last time, but I was very busy and didn't ask you." ”

Bai Chongxi smiled: "What the eldest brother wants to ask must be my reconnaissance company, right?" ”

Li Zongren nodded, and Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "That was the commander personally trained in my Second Mountain Brigade, and at first I didn't quite understand that Weishenme wanted these soldiers to smear mud on their faces, and criticize leaves and bark. Later, as soon as I entered the mountains and forests, I found that it was very useful, and I couldn't find these people at all. Big brother, I would like to tell you a word, these scouts are all selected from the whole army, all of them are good at grappling and fighting, and the kung fu is still the boxer named Long Tingjiu next to the handsome one by one. By the way, one of them is named Wang Chenhao and the other is named Guo Meng, both of whom were sent by Da himself, and they are said to be Master Long's closed disciples. I saw with my own eyes that the skills of these two people, three or five people can clean up at will. ”

Li Zongren hurriedly raised his hand: "Stop, stop, you just blow, isn't it just a reconnaissance company?" The reconnaissance company of our 1st Mountain Brigade was also praised by the commander......"

As he was talking, the adjutant came in and reported: "Report to Brigade Commander Bai, Li Dachao and they are back, they have arrested more than 20 people, and they are being interrogated." ”

Bai Chongxi recalled for a moment and said: "Go and ask, if there is someone named Tao Er, mention it to me." In addition, I sent someone to invite Mr. Liu, who was the guest just now......"

After Liu Zhenhuan washed and cleaned, he changed into the blue-gray new military uniform of the Xiangxi garrison, although he felt a little weird about this style, but on the whole, he still thought that this dress was first-class from workmanship to style.

Stepping into the small thatched hut where the advance headquarters was located, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi both looked at themselves with a smile, and Li Zongren took the lead and said: "Commander Liu, everyone is a fellow countryman, and you speak more directly, or you don't want to be the commander of the Yuan army in Guangxi, just serve Wang Dashuai like us." ”

Liu Zhenhuan also thought about this problem just now, now the situation is stronger than people, and the phoenix with falling hair is not as good as a chicken. He nodded and replied: "As long as he can avenge Shen Hongying, a dog thief, Zhenhuan will ask the Delin brothers to introduce him to Wang Dashuai." ”

Li Zongren laughed honestly, patted Liu Zhenhuan on the shoulder and said, "Come on, our classmate Bai Jiansheng has a wonderful chess move, taking Liuzhou is like exploring the bag, but you just need your cooperation, Brother Liu." ”

Liu Zhenhuan looked at Bai Chongxi who was a little confused: "What a wonderful move, Brother Bai is coming quickly, my uncle is also uncertain about life and death now, Zhenhuan is anxious!" ”

Bai Chongxi coughed twice deliberately: "This jihua is also simple, Liuzhou is a thousand-year-old city, the city walls are tall and the water is changed on three sides, this is a typical place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Although there are less than 1,000 people in this Shen Hongying dog thief, relying on this geographical advantage, as long as he grits his teeth, it is not difficult to defend against Yuan Rongting, the reactionary governor Lu Rongting, to reinforce him. And Brother Liu's uncle is also among them, if the tyrant beats him down, it is estimated that the jade will be burned. Therefore, we can only outwit Liuzhou City and not attack it. ”

Liu Zhenhuan pondered for a while: "Brother Delin and Brother Jiansheng don't know, this Shen thief is a bandit, treacherous and cunning, and cautious. I'm afraid it's hard to get a sneak attack in general, I don't know ......"

"Hey, what a sneak attack, if it's really a sneak attack, it's not a smart attack." Bai Chongxi waved his hand very complacently and continued: "Didn't he send this Lan Ba and Tao Er to hunt down and kill Brother Liu?" Now let the men who have pursued you carry you back, open the gates of the city while it is dark, and the army will rush inside, and then take all the points. Just rely on the Shen thief and those bandit soldiers to have quantity or quantity, and even more so quality, what can I do? So we came to Brother Liu to ask Brother Liu to perform a bitter trick, which is somewhat risky; The second is to draw a topographical map of Liuzhou, otherwise it will not be good for my men to rush out and touch the blind. ”

Liu Zhenhuan shook his head and said: "This is naturally no problem, if it weren't for your army to help, I, Liu Zhenhuan, would have died once, why is it difficult to play a prisoner?" But hasn't Lan Ba been beaten to death by the company commander Li Dachao of your army? Tao Er is a bandit, and he doesn't know where he is now? ”

Bai Chongxi shook his hand and said, "It's okay, that Tao Er and his gang have just been caught by us, and I'll let my brothers greet him later." If we promise some more benefits, I guess he will take the initiative to cooperate with us to perform this play. ”

Liu Zhenhuan felt that this matter was reliable, and as soon as he nodded, he saw Li Dachao coming in with his head in a hurry, and shouted as he walked: "Brigade commander, the Tao Er I want has been found, this kid is not honest, I cut off his head, do you like it?" ”

When Bai Chongxi heard this, he saw the head again, and he was immediately stupid, and then he didn't say a word, glaring angrily at Li Dachao, who felt good about himself.

Li Zongren rarely met the smart Bai Chongxi who miscalculated, and his heart suddenly blossomed, but his face was not easy to show, so he could only purse his mouth and keep silent.

Liu Zhenhuan also saw Bai Chongxi's embarrassment, he is now asking for others, and it is not easy to expose his emotions, so he can only stand where and pretend to be stupid.

Bai Chongxi took a deep breath, smiled and patted Li Dachao's shoulder, and called out kindly: "Dachao!" I heard that you have a good relationship with Chief of Staff Li of the Security Corps? ”

Li Dachao saw that the brigade commander asked a strange question, and it was also the second monk who had this head, so he could only answer truthfully in an urn voice: "Yes, I used to be the platoon commander under him, and he was my company commander." ”

Bai Chongxi's face changed suddenly: "Dachao, your errand is really good, or if this war is over, you will jump to serve in the security forces." ”

Li Dachao touched his head with one hand: "Brigade commander, it's not good, I'd better follow you, I've heard that the treatment of the security forces is not as high as our field troops." Besides, I Lao Li didn't do anything wrong, why did you want me to go to the security forces, this is not right! ”

Bai Chongxi hahadaxiao got up: "You Li Dachao haven't done anything wrong, you killed this Tao Er, what should I do to cheat the city?" Or you can go back now, and I'll write you an appointment. ”

No matter how stupid Li Dachao was, he knew that he was in trouble, and he immediately shouted: "Brigade commander, I'm wrong, don't drive me away, I'm in the second brigade to ...... up."

"You don't want to go to the security forces?" Listening to Li Dachao's nagging for a long time, Bai Chongxi asked with a gloomy face, and Li Dachao suddenly nodded violently.

Bai Chongxi changed back to a smiling face, nodded and said, "Then you will immediately take this dirty thing in your hand and give me as far as you want, get out!" ”

Li Dachao ran away as soon as he slipped away......

Bai Chongxi said to Liu Zhenhuan with an embarrassed face: "Seeing Brother Liu, most of his subordinates have strength and no brains. Since there was such a small accident, we may have to fine-tune the plot of this deception......"

At the headquarters of the First Division of Tongdao County, Xu Yuanquan reported to Wang Zhenyu: "Dashuai, the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Mountains have lost contact with us for two days, and they haven't sent a signal corps back to report for so long, will something happen?" ”

Wang Zhenyu touched his chin, he hadn't shaved for a few days, and he had grown so much: "What can happen?" ”

Just kidding, let's not talk about the skills of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, relying on nearly 10,000 guns in the First Brigade and the Second Brigade alone. Not to mention the little Shen Hongying, even if Lu Rongting is added, what can they do? And judging from the performance of the Battle of Changde, these two brigades can be regarded as strong forces in the country at present, and if anyone really wants to fight them, it is likely that stealing chickens will not lead to a handful of rice.

However, there has been no contact for so many days, which is indeed a bit abnormal, could it be that they encountered some opportunity, and they rushed out before they had time to report to themselves.

By the way, something must have happened to Liu Guxiang.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu immediately got up and asked Xu Yuanquan: "Old Xu, how is our first division marching now?" ”

Xu Yuanquan replied truthfully: "Marshal, the mountain road is rugged, the military operations of nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers, all kinds of baggage are also very numerous, and we have really tried our best." At present, the Taozhiyue Division of the 101st Regiment has just entered the territory of Guangxi, while the division headquarters and many directly subordinate units are still in the passage and have not yet set off. ”

Wang Zhenyu stood up, walked to the military map surveyed and mapped by the surveying and mapping team of the General Staff Office with his hands behind his back and looked at it: "It's too long, the source, don't care about any baggage, give priority to sending some troops over, I feel that the situation in Guangxi may exceed our expectations." After all, we are not natives of Guangxi, and a tyrant like Lu Rongting will never tolerate snoring on the side of his couch, so he sent a herald to find Li Zongren and them, telling them that after capturing Liuzhou, they should not attack again, and holding Liuzhou and other large troops in place is victory. ”

When Xu Yuanquan heard Wang Zhenyu say this, he immediately asked nervously: "Dashuai, if Lu Rongting has really arrived in the Liuzhou area, or Liu Guxiang has already merged with him, what should we do?" ”

Wang Zhenyu shook his head in his heart, if Liu Guxiang and Lu Rongting can merge, there is only one explanation, one of them has been crossed. Obviously, this is impossible, and what I really have to worry about is, how big is this battle?

The purpose of his initial operation in northern Guangxi was only to find sufficient resources for the development of the steel industry, not to take over Guangxi, a mountainous and poor and backward province. At present, the development of Xiangxi has just started, and it is very difficult to walk every step, and if it drags on another Guangxi, it is likely that it will not be able to run.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu suddenly turned around and asked Xu Yuanquan: "Old Xu, you said that if we take down the whole of Guangxi in one go, what will be the consequences......
