Chapter 136 Outsmarting Guibei (3)

On the night of September 21, Chen Hongying, who had just sat in the position of Liuzhou's master for less than a week, felt panic. Logically speaking, most of Liu Guxiang's old subordinates had been removed, and General Lu from Nanning said that as long as he handed over Liu Guxiang and Liu Yueqing (the general of the Youjiang Navy) as prisoners of war, he would recognize the legitimacy of his rule over Liuzhou. But it was so strange tonight that he couldn't sleep no matter what. Moreover, he was already in the beginning of autumn, but he was extremely hot and wanted to jump into Liujiang and take a shower. Could there be no accident in General Lu? Chen Hongying even thought of this.

Just when he was inexplicably irritated, a sudden harsh gunshot broke through the quiet night sky. Chen Hongying, who had been a bandit for many years and had a different level of alertness than ordinary people, immediately judged that his anxiety tonight might have come from this gunshot.

He immediately called his adjutant: "Take a few people out and see where are you shooting?"

As a result, before he finished speaking, gunfire sounded loudly. As soon as he heard it, he knew that something was wrong. Chen Hongying immediately called the adjutant, canceled his previous order, and shouted loudly: "Wait immediately for the wife and the young men, gather the guards, let's go to the north gate first..."

Chen Hongying's decision saved his life and his family, because outside the South Gate, Bai Chongxi, who judged that Chen Hongying went back to join Lu Rongting in a critical moment, asked Li Dachao, who was wrongly killed Tao Er, to ambush him with a team of men. As a result, he did not make any contribution except feeding the mosquitoes in the woods.

Bai Chongxi actually miscalculated. He did not understand Chen Hongying's character. This person is accustomed to believe that it is better to seek others than to seek others. So when he encountered danger, his decision was to hide in the mountains and continue to fall into the grass instead of going to Lu Rongting.

Let’s see, what happened in Liuzhou on the night of September 21st?

After the second mutiny in Liuzhou, Chen Hongying sent people to arrest Liu Yueqing, the commander of the Liuzhou Navy stationed in Liujiang. Liu Chengfu's more than a thousand troops also collapsed on their own after hearing the news. In addition, Lu Rongting's appointment was later in place, so Liuzhou's defense became relaxed.

Chen Hongying currently has two thousand men under his command, one thousand men is his own starting force, which is relatively reliable; the other thousand men are newly attached, so it is relatively less reliable. Chen Hongying is preparing to reorganize these thousand men, so according to the old rules, this thousand men will have no weapons before the reorganization is completed.

It happened that night that Liao Liu, who was defending the Ximen in Liuzhou, married Liu's concubine and was holding a wedding banquet. Therefore, Ximen, who had already had a hundred people defending, only more than 30 people were on duty, and as soon as it was dark, the city gate was closed routinely.

As for the movement outside the city, grandma didn't even have enough food to eat, so these resentful guys were too lazy to care about it.

At this time, a group of people suddenly walked towards the west gate. The officer who was on duty at the top of the city looked at it and asked loudly: "Stop, who is the person? If you don't speak, I will shoot."

"Mo Er, I scared your dog's eyes. I am He Mazi, an adjutant led by Duke Tao. Do you shoot me and see?"

When Mo Eryi heard that the murderer Tao was brought back without blinking, he immediately became a little bit weaker: "Brother, misunderstanding, this is so dark, can I see it, where is the belt of Tao?"

He Mazi shouted, "Du Tao and Du Lan in the town in front stopped to rest. You will enter the city tomorrow. You are comfortable. I have been chasing you in the mountains for three or four days. Now, I have caught Liu Zhenhuan and sent it back to Shen Dazhuo. Open the door quickly and don't delay my wealth. Hurry up, otherwise I will shoot me if I turn against you. Kill it doesn't count."

The last sentence is true. Bai Chongxi wants to grab time. If he really can't open the city gate, the city fraud operation will immediately turn into a strong attack. The one responsible for the strong attack will be a main force group of the Mountain Brigade. At this time, even the mortar has been set up. The only problem is that it has not been tested, and it is very questionable whether it can hit the target.

Mo Er hesitated for a long time, and asked He Mazi to illuminate Liu Zhenhuan with a torch. When he saw that he was really Commander Liu. His weakness of lacking strict military discipline was immediately exposed. He chose to order the door to open and came down to see it in person.

"He Mazi, I have made great contributions now. When I become famous in front of Shen Dajia, don't forget the hardships of brothers." Mo Er did not forget to make a joke.

But soon his face turned from red to white, from white to blue. Because a black muzzle was pressing against his eyebrows, Mo Er knelt on the ground like a reflex, muttering a word: "Hero, don't kill me, I'm just a poor errand. Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The company commander of the reconnaissance company of the First Brigade immediately stopped and said, "Shut up, otherwise I will immediately use the military spear to make you fall asleep forever, do you believe it?"

Mo Er immediately shut up and said nothing. When he looked at the other twenty brothers, all of them were controlled, his heart skipped a beat. Lord Shen was going to suffer a great loss now.

More and more people wearing blue and gray military uniforms were passing through the West Gate with steel guns in their hands and marching bags. When Mo Er saw this posture, he immediately became honest. He leaned against He Mazi standing aside and said, "I said, which team is this? He Mazi, I have a good relationship with you. How about you bringing brothers into a group?"

He Mazi gave him a blank look: "A guy who's gotten into the butt, I'm just like you, and I'm now a prisoner. Tao Du Bie and Lan Du Bie were both beaten to death."

When Mo Er heard this, he said angrily: "Damn, then you were so awesome just now? Are you a kid acting as a master?"

"If you are the one who puts a gun on your waist, how dare you be dishonest and obedient? Let's admit defeat, brother, it would be great if you can survive. This team is amazing." He Mazi replied angrily...

The melee began in the city soon, and Shen Hongying's men soon discovered that something was wrong. They bravely chose to defend their home, although this home was only stolen from others a few days ago.

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

All the companies of the First Brigade set out towards their respective goals according to the pre-arranged plan...

The former prefect of Liuzhou yamen, well, it should be called Liuzhou No. 1 Prison. Liu Guxiang, Liu Yueqing and others are all locked up here. According to the plan, they will be escorted to Lu Rongting, Nanning, Guangxi as soon as they dawn tomorrow.

Liu Guxiang was injured himself. After being locked up here, she lost her basic care. Her wounds were basically purulent, and she felt so uncomfortable all over her body.

Originally, he was expected to bring Liu Chengfu back with his team, but two days ago, Liu Chengfu was also taken in. He said in pain: "Commander, Cheng Fu is incompetent, I am ashamed of you."

Liu Guxiang shook her head and said to Liu Yueqing: "Our Liu family is going to be uprooted this time. I'm sorry for your relatives and old friends. I'm the one who harmed everyone."

The prison also seemed to know that if these people were taken to Nanning tomorrow, they would die without life. Out of humanitarian concern, they made an exception to arrange a meal with a slaughtered meal, and each of them even gave two taels of wine. The warden said to Liu Guxiang: "Sir, I can't help myself, and I can do it, that's all."

Liu Guxiang shook her head and ignored her. Instead, she picked up the wine bowl and poured it on the wound on her leg. Her whole body immediately twitched in pain. After a while, he handed the wine bowl to the warden: "There is nothing right or wrong in this kind of thing. If you give me a few more sips of wine, you will definitely keep your whole family safe after you go down."

The warden nodded and immediately shouted: "Duck, go, bring my daughter Hong over, and respect Liu, Commander..."

After dinner, Liu Guxiang and Liu Yueqing, who were next to each other in the cell, said, "I just died like this. It's really unfair to think about it. Why did you think I took a look at it? I believe Chen Hongying is such a despicable villain."

Liu Yueqing shook her head and said, "If you want to say bad things, it's up to our party members. If it weren't for the first mutiny, why would your family be destroyed? How could Chen Hongying take advantage of the situation? I think back now, I'm afraid there will be no future with Sun Dapao. Look at the ending that everyone is defeated in this fight against Yuan. Brother Huang doesn't agree with it, but Sun Dapao still insists on launching it."

Liu Guxiang said a little dissatisfied: "What is Sun Dapao? Can you call Mr. Sun like this? Then according to your opinion, we will just tolerate it and then the world will be peaceful?"

Liu Yueqing said in a deep voice: "If you want to talk about Tongmenghui, I am convinced that you and Brother Huang Xing are the ones who do practical things, not the kind of villain who brags about letting others get millet from the fire. If we don't seek Yuan, then Yuan Shikai will have no choice but to use us for a while. North and South may find a way out as time goes by. But as soon as this war begins, the constraints of North and South are broken. And it is still unscientific to launch rashly when it cannot be defeated. Next, we have a small bloodshed and the balance between North and South has been broken. First, Yuan Shikai wants to be a real dictator, and second, it sets a bad precedent."

Liu Guxiang felt strange when he heard this: "What precedent?"

"A precedent for resolving political disputes by force. If you want to fight in the future, the generals can send a telegram to serve the country and the people, and do whatever they want in the name of revolution."

After hearing this, Liu Guxiang suddenly remained silent for a long time: "Maybe this time, Mr. Sun was really wrong. What's the matter? Yueqing, we are going to die, but this country is ruined..."

Liu Yueqing was about to comfort Liu Guxiang, saying a few words: "Sir..."

Suddenly, a bright moonlight shone in outside the iron window, followed by gunfire. Then, the outer door of the prison was smashed open, and the warden asked the jailer with horror: "What's going on?"

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

The warden was almost the first person to react, that was, his death row prisoner was about to turn over. He immediately grabbed the key from the jailer and shouted to Liu Zhenhuan: "Commander Liu, Commander, Commander, is here, here."

Liu Guxiang and Liu Yueqing both heard Liu Zhenhuan's familiar voice. In surprise, they rushed to the cage and shouted: "Zhenhuan, is it you?"

Liu Zhenhuan rushed into the cell with a gun and hugged Liu Guxiang sitting on the ground with bruises all over her body, tears almost flowing down: "Teacher, the student is incompetent, I am here to save you now."

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