Guilin, Guangxi Military Government

Lu Rongting, who had just turned 60, was listening to the arguments of his subordinate staff while rubbing his aching temples with his hands. The staff who expressed their opinions obviously could not come up with a battle plan that satisfied the supervisor. Twenty thousand people besieged the city. However, there are only two poorly trained brigades with more than 5,000 people in the city.

The military situation was so intense that even under the military government, you could occasionally hear the sound of cannons flying in from outside the city falling into civilian houses and exploding.

"Supervise, there is an army commander on the city wall personally supervising the battle. I understand that Shen Hongying can't get in." An old staff officer saw Lu Rongting's sad face and carefully comforted him.[

"Cough cough cough... Shen Hongying is ungrateful and wants my life today. I think back then, I became sworn brothers with him, but I didn't expect that now he doesn't even recognize me as his eldest brother. Ahem..." Lu Rongting When I think about how I spent half my life in the military, and was finally forced into a dead end by my sworn brothers, I sigh with regret, but also feel a little regret.

"Dad, take some medicine. Shusheng specially sent you Western medicine from Yunnan." Lu Yunlun saw that his father kept coughing again, and secretly thought that he was getting old too. He had suffered a lot of old illnesses in his life as a soldier. Now that the army is besieging the city, the old man How to bear the torment.

Hearing Zhang Shusheng's name, Lu Rongting was initially in a trance, but finally recovered a little. He took the water and medicine and waved his hand to signal the others to go out, "You go out first, and let someone call Yunguang."

Lu Yunguang was not Lu Rongting's biological son, but he liked him very much. After many years of military service, he was finally appointed by Lu Rongting as the commander of the most elite new first division. At this time, he was supervising the battle on the city wall. His second son, Lu Yunlun, was his biological son and stayed with him all the time. Be an adjutant by your side.

"Dad, the situation in Guangxi is in chaos now. In my opinion, even if we can defend Guilin..." As soon as the outsiders left, Lu Yunlun sat next to his father and helped him take medicine while talking about his own opinions. But he was afraid of offending Lu Rongting. What was on his mind, he did not say the following words.

He received a formal military school education, and as an adjutant, he was able to look at issues independently from outside the army. He had a clearer understanding of the corrupt situation in Guangxi than many Guangxi generals.

"Shen Hongying has been encouraged by others over the years, and her heart has become more and more wild. But I didn't expect that he would dare to treat me like an object and send heavy troops to attack Guilin."

The more Lu Rongting talked, the angrier he became, and since no one else was around, he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and broke into several pieces with a bang.

"Father, calm down. In my opinion, no, it's better to send an urgent telegram to Yunyan and ask her for help. Shusheng's banner has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and they are well-equipped. As long as he is willing to send a brigade of troops, Guilin's dilemma will be solved..."

"Shut up!!" Lu Rongting's face turned ugly and he yelled angrily, scaring Lu Yunlun to the point where he no longer dared to speak.

After a long time, Lu Rongting sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to hand over Guangxi to Shusheng as soon as possible, but it's because we are a small family here, inside and outside, and we can't rush. With his personality, I believe he loves Yunyan. But once, once Dongchuan troops marched to Guilin..."

When Lu Yunlun heard this, he was slightly startled, and then his mind changed, and then he understood what his father was thinking.

Maybe he really wanted to leave Guangxi to Yunyan. Firstly, he made a dowry for her, and secondly, he also found a good escape route for the Lu family and a group of Guangxi cronies. But this does not mean that his father is now I want to hand over Guangxi and give up Guilin. I am still too young.

Although he is the son of a tiger father, Lu Yunlun's thoughts are not comparable to those of his father.

In Lu Rongting's view, the best step for Zhang Shusheng to take over Guangxi is to first station troops at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and use the absolute force of the Dongchuan Army to not only ensure the stability of Guangxi, but also to frighten the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, and then when he is old and strong,

The Dongchuan Army marched east again and took over the entire Guangxi.

However, Zhang Shusheng was not dazzled by power and love. He neither accepted the post of garrison envoy in northwest Guangxi nor sent any soldiers into Guangxi. He only verbally agreed to the future.

From a personal standpoint, he admired his niece-in-law very much and was happy for Yun Yan. But from the perspective of the head of the entire Lu family and his close associates, he had to make a clear calculation.

In fact, Lu Rongting also understood that not only did he have a plan, but his niece-in-law didn't have a plan of his own. In troubled times, a warlord without scheming can only become a stepping stone for others.

With a "squeak~" sound, a model car with Dongchuan District's unique license plate stopped in front of the Guilin Military Government. The alert sentry came over and took a look. It turned out to be the subordinate of District Chief Zhang of Dongchuan District.

After a report was made inside, he was released.[

"Report! Wei Sancai, director of the Dongchuan District Office in Guilin, asked to see him for supervision."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Lu Rongting motioned to his son to go out and pick him up. From time to time, a man carrying a briefcase and wearing a dark gray khaki suit walked in behind Lu Yunlun.

"Mr. Wei, don't be sick." Seeing this wise young man, Lu Rongting couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Dongchuan District is indeed full of talents. The Wei Sancai in front of him is just an expatriate government employee, but his aura is quite extraordinary.

.Many cooperations between Guangxi and Dongchuan District were realized through him. This person has extraordinary knowledge, knows important matters, and is very independent and measured in his actions.

"Thanks to the supervision, everything is going well."

After the Huize Primary School incident, Wei Sancai was transferred from the post of deputy county magistrate and appointed director of the Dongchuan District Government Office in Guilin. As the spokesperson of the Dongchuan District Government in Guilin, he has been fighting with the Guilin clique.

Whether it was the construction of a simple road from Xuanwei to Guilin or the negotiation on mining the mines in northern Guangxi, he was the one who negotiated the deal. "The leader of the bandits, Shen Hongying, dared to risk the disapproval of the world and lead a crowd to besiege the city. It is really outrageous.

This time Sancai came here specifically to visit the supervisor. Shen Hongying is just a thief. The supervisor must take it to heart and put her body first."

Lu Rongting was slightly annoyed. If he didn't take it to heart, would he still need to eat and sleep uneasily? If he didn't take it to heart, maybe Shen Hongying would come in and ransack the house in a few days. He knew best about Shen Hongying, who had been burned and killed in recent years.

They did a lot of plundering. Once the city of Guilin was destroyed, my family would not be able to escape, and it is estimated that the people of Guilin would also suffer.

"Director Wei is the representative of Dongchuan District in Guilin. I wonder if he has brought the latest instructions from General Zhang?" At the end of 23, Zhang Shusheng became a member of the Northern Government and was awarded the title of Lieutenant General.

"The supervisor may be disappointed. Although Sancai immediately reported the emergency situation to the district government, unfortunately the confidential telegraph machine suddenly broke down and is currently under emergency repair. It may be difficult to receive a callback instruction for a while.

"Wei Sancai said calmly, this time he just came to test Lu Rongting's bottom line, and he didn't expect to get any substantial gains.

After listening to Wei Sancai's fluent explanation, Lu Rongting remained silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Lu Yunlun said: "Shen Hongying's intention to bring trouble to Guilin will definitely be difficult to succeed. There are more than 5,000 elite soldiers led by my elder brother in Guilin City. Let Han Caifeng When the troops return to Guilin, we will attack from inside and outside, and the thieves will retreat."

When Wei Sancai saw this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he opened his briefcase and took out a document marked top secret, "Supervisor Lu, this is a piece of information I just received before I came here. Because the matter is of great importance, Sancai did it without authorization." Make the decision, be willing to bear the responsibility for violating the regulations, and let the supervisor make preparations in advance."

When Lu Rongting heard this, he thought, could there be any trouble? He took the information and opened it. After a moment, the document suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, and he sat there in a daze, with anger and reluctance mixed in his eyes.

"Father, father..." Lu Yunlun hurriedly supported him, then picked up the document on the ground, opened it, and saw that it read: Urgent telegram: Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi's department has been mobilized frequently, and it is suspected that there has been something unusual recently. According to internal reports, Li Zongren , Bai Erbu seems to have an interest in Guilin.

"This, this..." Lu Yunlun also sat back in his seat dejectedly. Who are Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi? As a senior officer of the Guangxi clique, he certainly knows what kind of people these two ambitious people who occupy several counties are. They Not only is he not a direct descendant of his father, but he has already had other ideas.

Once Li and Bai come again, how many of the troops in Guilin City will be left to resist them after a bloody battle with the Gui Clan?

"Everyone wants Guilin, they all rebel, they all fall into disgrace..."

With a loud bang, Lu Rongting was so furious that he threw a vase on the table next to him to the ground, regardless of Wei Sancai's presence. The porcelain pieces scattered everywhere, just like the situation in Guangxi, which was torn apart and difficult to clean up.

"Yun Lun, call Han Caifeng and Chen Shuxun immediately to come back for reinforcements. I want to go into battle myself!!" Lu Rongting got up angrily and was about to walk out. He was so angry that he seemed to have returned to the time when he was a bandit in Vietnam and beat the French. At that time, there was an old fate, and some thieves came in to take it.

"Father, calm down and let me..."

"Report!"

Before Lu Yunlun could persuade Lu Rongting, an orderly rushed in and blocked Lu Rongting's way.

"What happened?" Lu Rongting felt something was wrong and asked.

"Report to the Supervisor, General Yun Guang, who unfortunately died while directing the battle on the tower..."[

"Father, father... come here, come here!!!"

Before the orderly finished speaking, Lu Rongting felt his eyes go dark and fell down. Fortunately, Lu Yunlun reacted quickly and caught him.

It was not until evening that I woke up under the treatment of a Western doctor in Guilin.

Looking at the family members gathered in a circle, Lu Rongting made a dry voice: "Where's Yunguang..."

"Dad, my second mother is accompanying my eldest brother in the west courtyard and is changing his clothes..." Lu Yunlun lowered his head and whispered, not daring to tell Lu Rongting the tragic death of his eldest brother Lu Yunguang.

"Oh, you forced me to give away people with white hair and people with black hair. You want Guilin, you want Guangxi, but I won't give it..." After Lu Rongting woke up, he seemed to be much older, letting his children support him. Half lying down, his eyes dimmed, he muttered to himself for a while before he finally raised his hand and waved: "Yun Lun, please give Shusheng power..."

Dongchuan, Lishuping!

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in!" There was a knock on the door, but Zhang Shusheng did not stop the pen in his hand. He was drawing an important function line on a piece of paper.

"Report, urgent call from Guangxi Supervisor Lu Rongting!"

…

"stand up!"

In the emergency meeting room of the militia, Zhang Shusheng stood there in uniform, holding in his hand the already prepared battle plan for entering Guangxi. Like all the generals, he endured the excitement in his heart, because the militia was waiting and preparing for it.

A moment that had been waiting for a long time finally arrived on this day.

Once Guangxi is captured, it will mean that the cause of the militia will enter a period of rapid development.

"Chief of Staff Chiang, announce the battle order!" Zhang Shusheng, who was the only one sitting at the top, waved his hand to Jiang Baili to read out the order.

"Yes!" Jiang Baili was also very excited. The militia group has been looking for the best opportunity to expand. Although this dispute between Lu and Shen came very suddenly, it is still the best opportunity to take control of Guangxi.

"Order from the Dongchuan Militia Headquarters regarding the entry into Guangxi: The troops entering Guangxi this time are the entire 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, the entire 1st Brigade of the new Reserve Division, and the entire 2nd Brigade of the new Reserve Division. There are three combat forces in total.

A journey.

The troops of the three brigades entering Guangxi will fight in a joint command group composed of Chen Jun, commander of the second brigade, Chu Shiwen, acting division commander of the new reserve division, and Jiang Baili, chief of staff. The specific offensive plan will be announced below.

The second brigade must enter Guangxi from the direction of Xuanwei as quickly as possible and launch an active attack on Shen Hongying's troops besieging Guilin with all their strength.
Chapter completed!
