On the night of September 21, Shen Hongying, who had just sat in the position of the master of Liuzhou for less than a week, felt flustered for no reason. It stands to reason that most of Liu Guxiang's old troops have been cleaned up, and Lu Dashuai in Nanning said that as long as Liu Guxiang and Liu Yueqing (the general of the Youjiang Naval Division) are handed over as prisoners of war, then he will recognize the legitimacy of his rule over the Liuzhou region. But tonight is so strange, I can't sleep no matter what, and it's obviously the beginning of autumn, but my body is extremely hot, and I really want to jump into the willow river and take a shower. Could it be that there would be something wrong with Lu Dashuai, Shen Hongying even thought of this.

Just when he was irritable, suddenly a piercing gunshot pierced the silent night sky. Shen Hongying, who has been a bandit for many years and has an unusual level of vigilance, immediately judged that his uneasiness tonight may have come from this gunshot.

He immediately called his adjutant: "You take a few people out to see, where exactly are the shots?" ”

As a result, before the words fell, the gunshots rang out, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that something was wrong, Shen Hongying immediately called the adjutant, canceled the previous order, and shouted: "Wake up the lady and sons immediately, gather the guards, and we will go to the north gate first......"

Shen Hongying's decision saved the lives of himself and his family, because outside the south gate, Bai Chongxi, who judged that Shen Hongying had gone back to Lu Rongting at a critical moment, asked Li Dachao, who mistakenly killed Tao Er, to ambush there with a company of men and horses for a whole night. As a result, nothing was done except to feed the mosquitoes in the woods.

Bai Chongxi actually miscalculated, he didn't understand Shen Hongying's character, this person has always believed that it is better to ask for others than for himself. So in the face of danger, he made the decision to hide in the mountains and continue to fall into the grass, instead of going to Lu Rongting.

Or let's see, what really happened in Liuzhou on the night of September 21?

After the second mutiny in Liuzhou, Shen Hongying sent people to arrest Liu Yueqing, the commander of the Liuzhou Naval Division stationed in Liujiang, and Liu Chengfu's more than 1,000 men and horses also dispersed on their own after hearing the news. In addition, Lu Rongting's appointment was then put in place, so Liuzhou's defense became lax.

Shen Hongying currently has 2,000 men under his command, and 1,000 is his own starting force, which is relatively reliable; The other thousand are newly attached centaurs, which are relatively unreliable. Shen Hongying was preparing to start the reorganization of these thousand people, so according to the old rules, these thousand people would not have weapons until the reorganization was completed.

It happened that on this night that Liao Liu, who was guarding the west gate of Liuzhou, married the sixth aunt and was holding a wedding wine. Therefore, there were only more than 30 people on duty at the West Gate, which was originally defended by 100 people, and the city gate was routinely closed as soon as it was dark.

As for the movement outside the city, grandma's, she didn't even eat the noodles, and these disgruntled guys didn't bother to care.

At this time, a group of people suddenly walked towards the west gate, and the officer on duty at the head of the city took a look at it and asked loudly: "Zhanzhu, who is it?" If you don't speak again, Lao Tzu will shoot. ”

"Mo Er, I scared your dog's eyes, Lao Tzu is He Mazi, the adjutant of Tao Du, you shot Lao Tzu to see?"

Mo Eryi heard that it was Tao Du, who killed people without blinking, and brought it back, and immediately lowered his arrogance a little: "Brother, misunderstanding, this black light is blind, I can see it, what about Tao Du?" ”

He Mazi shouted: "Tao Du and Lan Du stopped in the town in front of them to rest, and Ming'er entered the city." You are comfortable, Lao Tzu has been chasing in the mountains for three or four days, no, catch Liu Zhenhuan and send it back to Shen Da's family, you hurry up and open the door, don't delay Lao Tzu to make a fortune. Hurry up, otherwise Lao Tzu will turn his face and shoot without recognizing people, and killing him doesn't count. ”

This zuihou sentence is true, what Bai Chongxi wants to grab is time, if he really can't open the city gate, the city fraud action will immediately turn into a strong attack. The main regiment of the 1st Mountain Brigade will be responsible for the assault, and even the mortars will be set up, and the only problem is that it has not been test-fired, and it is very doubtful whether it can hit the target.

The man named Mo Er hesitated for a long time, and asked He Mazi to shine a few shots with a torch on the tied Liu Zhenhuan, and at a glance, it was really Commander Liu. The weakness of the lack of strict military discipline was immediately exposed. He chose to order the door to be opened, and he came down to see it himself.

"He Mazi, this is a great contribution, when you become popular in front of Shen Da's family, don't forget the bitter haha of your brother." Mo Er didn't forget to joke a few words.

But soon his face turned from red to white, from white to blue. Because the muzzle of a black hole was pressed against his eyebrows, in horror, Mo Er knelt on the ground reflexively, and said in his mouth: "Hero, don't kill me, I'm just an errand runner, don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

The commander of the reconnaissance company of the First Brigade immediately shouted: "Shut up, otherwise Lao Tzu will immediately use military stabbing to make you sleep forever, do you believe it or not?" ”

Mo Er immediately shut up and remained silent, and then looked at the other twenty or so brothers, all of whom were all controlled, and he sighed in his heart, now Lord Shen is going to suffer a big loss.

More and more people wearing blue-gray military uniforms passed through the west gate with steel guns and marching bags on their backs, Mo Er saw this jiashi, and immediately became honest, he leaned towards He Mazi who was standing on the side and said: "I said, which team is this in charge, He Mazi, I have a good relationship with you, how about you also pull your brothers into a gang?" ”

He Mazi glanced at him: "A guy with an ass, Lao Tzu is the same as you, and now he is also a prisoner, and Tao Du and Lan Du have been killed." ”

When Mo Er heard this, he said angrily: "Damn, then you were so good just now?" Where's your boy? ”

"For you, a gun is on your waist, do you dare to be honest and obedient? Admit it, brother, it's good to survive, this team is amazing. He Mazi replied angrily......

The scuffle soon unfolded in the city, and Shen Hongying's men and horses soon realized that the situation was not right, and they bravely chose to defend their homeland, although this homeland was also snatched from others only a few days ago.

But when they lost a few brothers and saw more and more people in blue-gray uniforms, their courage immediately evaporated. With a bang, they went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.

The companies of the 1st Brigade set out according to the pre-arranged haodejihua towards their respective goals......

The former prefect of Liuzhou Yamen Prison, well, should now be called Liuzhou No. 1 Prison. Liu Guxiang, Liu Yueqing and others are all locked up here, according to Jihua, they will be escorted to Lu Rongting in Nanning, Guangxi as soon as it dawns tomorrow.

Liu Guxiang herself was injured, and after being imprisoned here, she lost her basic care, and her wounds were basically suppurated, and she was so uncomfortable that she was going to die.

Originally, I was expecting Liu Chengfu to bring the team back, but two days ago, Liu Chengfu was also escorted in, and he said bitterly when he came in: "Commander, Chengfu is incompetent, and I am ashamed of your old age." ”

Liu Guxiang shook his head and said to Liu Yueqing: "Our old Liu family is going to be uprooted this time, I'm sorry that your relatives are old, I hurt everyone." ”

The prison side also seems to know that if these people are escorted to Nanning tomorrow, they will be dead, and out of humanitarian concern, they made an exception to arrange a meal of severed heads, and one person was also given two taels of wine. The warden said to Liu Guxiang: "My lord, I can't help myself, that's all I can do." ”

Liu Guxiang shook his head and ignored it, but picked up the wine bowl and poured it on the wound on his leg, and his whole body immediately twitched in pain. After a while, he handed the wine bowl to the warden: "This kind of thing, there is nothing wrong with it, you can reward a few more sips of wine, and the master will definitely keep your whole family safe." ”

The warden nodded and immediately shouted: "Son of a bitch, go, bring my altar daughter Hong, and honor Commander Liu's ......."

After dinner, Liu Guxiang and Liu Yueqing, who were next to each other in the prison cell, said: "Just died like this, it's really wronged to think about it, why do you say that I just looked away, I believe that Shen Hongying is such a despicable villain." ”

Liu Yueqing shook her head and said: "If you want to say that it is bad, it is bad for our party members themselves, if it is not the first mutiny, why would you be ruined, and how could this Shen Hongying take advantage of the situation." Thinking about it now, I'm afraid there will be no future with Sun Cannon, you look at Yuan Toss this time, there are defeats everywhere, and the ending that a fool can predict, Brother Huang doesn't agree, but Sun Dacang still insists on launching. ”

Liu Guxiang was a little dissatisfied and said: "What Sun cannon, Mr. Sun's name is something you can call like this?" So according to what you want, we will blindly tolerate it, and then the world will be peaceful? ”

Liu Yueqing said in a deep voice: "If you want to talk about the alliance, I am convinced by you and Huang Xing." is a practical person, not the kind of villain who brags about letting others go to the fire to get corn. If we don't please Yuan, then Yuan Shikai will have nothing to do with us for a while, and the north and south may be able to find a way over time. But as soon as the war began, the north-south constraint was broken. And it is rash to launch it without being able to fight, this is not scientific, and then we shed little blood, and the situation of the balance between the north and the south is broken, firstly, Yuan Shikai is going to be a real **, and secondly, it is to set a precedent that is not haode. ”

Liu Guxiang felt very strange when she heard this: "What precedent? ”

"There is a precedent for settling political disputes by force, and if there is to be a war in the future, the commanders only need to send a telegram to do whatever they want in the name of the country and the people."

When Liu Guxiang heard this, he was suddenly silent for a long time: "Maybe this time, it is really Mr. Sun who is wrong, so what, Yueqing, we are going to die, but this country is ruined......"

Liu Yueqing was about to comfort Liu Guxiang with two sentences: "My lord, ......."

Suddenly, a glimmer of moonlight shone in from outside the bars, and then there was a loud burst of gunfire. Then, the outer door of the prison was smashed open, and the warden asked the jailer with a frightened face: "What's the matter?" ”

Before the jailer could answer, Liu Zhenhuan rushed in with a large group of soldiers in blue-gray military uniforms: "Lord Commander, Lord Commander, where are you, where are you?" ”

The warden was almost the first to react, and that was that his condemned prisoners were about to turn over. He immediately snatched the key from the jailer's hand and shouted to Liu Zhenhuan: "Commander Liu, the commander is here, here." ”

Liu Guxiang and Liu Yueqing both heard Liu Zhenhuan's familiar voice, and under the surprise of surprise, both of them rushed to the edge of the cage and shouted: "Zhenhuan, is it you?" ”

Liu Zhenhuan rushed into the cell with the prison warden with a gun, and hugged Liu Guxiang, who was sitting on the ground with bruises, tears almost flowed: "Teacher, the student is incompetent, and I am only here to save you now." ”

Liu Guxiang cried with joy and patted Liu Zhenhuan's back: "It's good to come, it's good to come......"
