At the welcoming ceremony to welcome Xu Minghao, Wang Feng was just silently thinking about what Chen Sanye told him.

"The person who killed Tao Zhengzhang this time was Chen Yingshi! He had been at odds with Tao long ago! This time Tao sent him to the door and asked him for military salary, Chen Yingshi really doesn't have much money now, Xu Minghao went to visit him overnight, and the next day came out the news that Tao Zhengzhang was assassinated in a German hotel! Our Hong Gang brothers have already received definite news, that is, the people of the Chen Yingshi faction. As for why? That's not something that we rough people can know. ”

Xu Minghao is a tall and fat middle-aged man, and looking at his concessions, he knows that he is an old character.

On a simple battlefield banquet, the atmosphere can also be made like a spring breeze. Lin Yanjun stood beside him with a blushing face, as if he was a follower. He can refuse Xu Minghao, but he can't refuse Hu Hansan who came with Xu Minghao! This made him feel extra angry.

Xu Minghao brought with him the only armed force in Shenhai that did not belong to any force, the Guangxi army of more than 300 people of the Li Bodhisattva Department.

It turned out to be the troops of Qin Xilin, the governor of Guixi Province, who planned to take them to Liangguang to suppress bandits, but because of the bad photos, these hundreds of people have been stranded in Shenhai, and the tongue was absorbed by Xu Minghao, and they were not brought over until today.

Xu Minghao and Hu Hansan walked over to Wang Feng's table with a smile, Wu Wencai, Wang Yangming, they saw the old chief coming, although they were tired in their hearts, but they all stood up and saluted.

Wang Feng also wanted to stand up but was held down by Xu Minghao, he held a bowl of wine, and pulled Hu Hansan with his left hand, Hu Hansan smiled at Wang Feng uncomfortably.

Xu Minghao's eyes were a little moist, and he looked very emotional: "Commander Wang, you are now my boss of someone Xu, I should salute you!" I'm ashamed, brother! If we didn't bring the 9th Brigade well, we were defeated so badly at Moling Pass! If it weren't for Commander Wang to collect troops, recover the Han River first, and then attack Jinling, we would really have no room to turn over! The brothers of the 9th Brigade are in your hands, and they are better than me! ”

He choked up and seemed unable to speak.

Wang Feng stood up with a look of sincere fear: "Chief of Staff Xu, you are an old-timer, these words, my brother should not deserve them!" Mr. Hermes-Epitek did not dissuade Xu Weng either, he drank a little too much. ”

While he was talking, several shells fired by the Jiang Defense Army from Tianbao City exploded in the distance, and Wang Feng took the opportunity to say: "I'll go to the front to see, what is the movement of the Jiang Defense Army?" Wait a minute! ”

As he spoke, he walked out, his steps were a little hurried, and some fine sweat was oozing slightly from his head.

His heart was full of disgust, what kind of thing is Xu Minghao, an old bureaucrat! It is nothing more than colluding with Chen Yingshi, taking the opportunity of killing Tao Zhengzhang to mix sand into the coalition army, wanting to fight his own ideas.

But you party bosses, I'm afraid you have the wrong idea!

Wang Feng sneered slightly, and Wu Wencai and Wang Yangming also followed, both with disgusted looks.

Wang Feng said in a low voice: "Leave them alone, let Song Ting go and have a headache for Xu Minghao!" Let's take advantage of their excitement tonight, there are still big things to do! ”

At ten o'clock in the evening of December 1, when the new chief of staff of the coalition headquarters and Hu Hansan had not yet finished the reception, Wang Feng, Wu Wencai, and Chen Jianghe had already climbed a small hill, surrounded by dozens of guards.

Even the members of the Jiangbei Provincial Consultative Bureau were among them, Wang Feng raised his binoculars and looked at Tianbao City, where it was pitch black, and there was no movement at all.

Wang Feng asked Chen Jianghe in a low voice: "Third Master Chen has really contacted all the Hongmen brothers in the defenders?" Why hasn't there been any movement yet? ”

Chen Jianghe's face was still a little aggrieved, as if he was blaming Wang Feng for not giving him the opportunity to lead the assault.

"Commander, although my third uncle is rough and bold on the outside, he is actually very fine on the inside! Now he is taking care of everything in the family, as long as he says something that he is sure of, then he really can't be wrong. ”

He hesitated for a moment and asked Wang Feng tentatively: "Commander, I'll take two companies of people up and give Zhang San a call for them?" Promise not to rush again. ”

Wang Feng put down the binoculars and glanced at him lightly: "Don't approve it!" ”

Wu Wencai also pulled Chen Jianghe: "Even Zhuoran obediently stayed below to command, the battlefield on the mountain is not big, you bring more people up, but you mess up yourself!" Understandable? ”

Of course, Chen Jianghe understood, so he had to pick up his telescope and look up with Wang Feng.

It was still dark.

Lin Zhengying never thought that this day would come like this, he turned out to be the eldest of the fourteen brothers of the Pingyang Society's big dragon head and post, at that time he was still working as a shed in the Jiangfang camp in northern Jiangsu, since his grandfather has been a figure of worshipping the Three Points Society, for Hongmen, he and some brothers threw themselves into the Jiangfang camp, ready to cooperate with the eldest brother will cause trouble.

But Pingyang was defeated, and he and his brothers have been lurking, although they want to avenge the eldest brother, but they have never had a chance.

Seeing that he was slowly promoted to the sentry officer of the Jiangfang battalion, and because of the fact that he was from all over the world, he was valued by Wang Shihong and transferred to his most personal battalion, and he even thought that he was going to be like this for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, the soldier who went to the bottom of the mountain to buy two days ago actually brought him a letter in the vegetable basket! The letter persuaded him to do it anyway, in addition to the original Pingyang Club's monogram, there was also the eldest brother's best friend, Baoying Chen Sanye's handwritten payment! His eyes moistened.

After two days of back and forth letters, it was finally decided that when his guard was guarding the western wall tonight, he would secretly pick up the team attacking Tianbao City to come in, and the time was ten o'clock that night.

Tianbaocheng fought fiercely at night, and although the seven or eight hundred defenders repelled the enemy's two attacks, they did not dare to relax at all.

On the six artillery and machine gun positions, there were people on duty all night, and the pipes of each battalion helped them. Even Wang Shihong patrols every two hours.

Seeing that it was already ten o'clock, Lin Zhengying replaced all the soldiers on duty at night with his henchmen and stood on the west wall, anxiously waiting for someone to come.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of boots in the dark night, and two windproof lamps shone on Wang Shihong and walked over with a few horses.

Lin Zhengying's heart tightened, and he reached out and clenched the six revolvers, this is not the time for him to come to patrol!

Wang Shihong slowly walked up to the west wall and looked around, Lin Zhengying, the sentry, all looked nervous and vigilantly patrolled around.

Wang Shihong nodded with satisfaction: "Zhengying, well done!" Defend this place, we still have time to turn over. That's right, Jeong-young! I heard that your wife is about to give birth? ”

He reached out and took a foreign letter from Ma Ben's hand: "In these years of war, there is nowhere to buy gifts, so you can take this!" As long as my Wang is still in this position for a day, I will not be able to treat the brothers badly. ”
