Just as Wang Zhenyu was busy pacifying Liu Guxiang and others in Liuzhou City and further communicating with local gentry.

On September 25, at the Guangxi Governor's Office in Nanning (everyone who supported Yuan Shikai was renamed the Governor. Due to the complex situation in Guangxi, the titles of Governor and Governor were used chaoticly, but they all refer to Lu Rongting), although there was no clear instructions from the Beijing government, Lu Rongting still held a military conference against the northern part of Guangxi.

Because Lu Rongting fired the banner to defend Guangxi and expel the Hunan Army, this meeting was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Attend the meeting were: Chen Bingkun, commander of the First Division under Lu Rongting, Tan Haoming, commander of the Second Division, Huang Bangbiao, commander of the Mixed Brigade, and the patrol team, which is the main leaders of the local armed forces, including Wei Rongchang, commander of the First Army, Lin Junting, commander of the Second Army, Long Jinguang, commander of the Third Army, Song Anshu, commander of the Fourth Army, Chen Chaozheng, commander of the Sixth Army, and Mo Rongxin, commander of the Wuzhou Prefecture.

As the governor or governor of Guangxi and the initiator of this meeting, Lu Rongting was naturally the first to speak: "Everyone, as we all know, the former commander of the Fifth Army, Liu Guxiang, colluded with the Sun Yat-sen rebellion, intending to cause trouble in Guangxi, but was defeated by his righteous man Chen Hongying. The rebellion was naturally solved without bloodshed. This was originally a good thing. Unexpectedly, Liu Guxiang was stubborn and actually secretly colluded with the Hunan rebellion Wang Zhenyu and others to attract outsiders to Guizhou and annex us. Tell me, are we really no men in Guangxi? Are we really the places where Hunan guys come whenever they want to come?"

Everyone immediately shouted, "Of course not, the governor, beat the Hunan guys hard to let them know how powerful our Gui army is,." In short, there are all kinds of shouting, and some of them who have never read even shouted to kill all Zeng Guofan's disciples and avenge King Hong Tian. Fortunately, this was not the Qing Dynasty, otherwise this would be a death sentence for the family extermination.

It was Song Anshu, the commander of the Fourth Army, who was very serious and raised his own question: "Mr. Governor, how many troops are there in the Hunan Army entering Guangxi?"

Lu Rongting really sent spies to inquire, but when the spy completed the inquiry, the First Governor of Xiangxi had not arrived in Liuzhou, and the Second Brigade was stationed on the periphery and did not enter the city, so the number of Hunan troops reported was only 5,000.

When Song Anshu heard that there were no five thousand people, he felt relieved. Not only him, but almost everyone present was extremely confident about the combat effectiveness of the Gui army. Since the Sino-French War, the Gui army has almost never won the battle. In the eyes of the Gui army, the world is invincible. After careful calculation, the people from these families have almost 20,000. Among them, Lu Rongting is under his command, the Guangxi New Army has the old foundation. So many people have drowned people, so the problem of victory is naturally not big.

Song Anshu thought of another question: "Mr. Governor, I don't know what kind of constitution President Yuan in Beijing is for us to send troops to northern Guangxi."

Lu Rongting was sitting in the head seat like a golden sword, his upturned eyebrows and serious expression, full of murderous aura: "Old Song, don't worry too much. Yuan Gongbao's Guangxi Gui Army has made great efforts to suppress the rebellious party this time. If we didn't manage the Hunan Army and the Guangdong Army for him, the Beiyang Army could successfully conquer Nanchang. Since we have made great contributions, we still have to have this small reward. So I thought about it and we don't have to wait for Beijing's orders. While the Hunan Army has not yet arrived, we rely on the force in our hands to add two or five to expel them in one breath. Guangxi can only be Guangxi, our Guangxi people, and Hunan guys get out," he said.

Everyone shouted again, "Get out of Hunan guys",.

Lu Rongting's arrogance is confident. Not to mention the 10,000 elite infantry under his command, there are more than 60 mountain cannons produced by the Hanyang Arsenal alone and more than 30,000 shells. With such strength, he is naturally not a big problem to attack a small Liuzhou with a long-standing war.

Moreover, as his strength and status improved, Lu Rongting's ambitions were further growing. In this era when soldiers were kings, Lu Rongting's mind became alive. Now he is desperately plundering, rushing troops and trying his best to expand his military power. He even has a clearer expansion plan than Wang Zhenyu. The first step is to use the Liuzhou incident to unify all forces in Guangxi and achieve military and political unity in Guangxi;

The second step is to bring Guangxi’s elite troops into Guangdong and make yourself the master of Guangdong and Guangxi;

The third step is to seize Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian, and let the Lu family's banner penetrate south of the Yangtze River;

The fourth step is,,,,,.

In the end, he won the position of the president. Yuan Datou was sitting in the position of the president. Why can't I, Lu Rongting?

So this time, Lu Rongting was ambitious and confident in attacking Liuzhou. Although he was still in the meeting, many people who participated in the expedition had already set out towards the guests. The so-called meeting was nothing more than to strengthen the momentum and unify his thoughts.

But Lu Rongting did not notice that, just less than fifteen meters away from him, a young officer suddenly flashed a strange smile on his face. He was very interested and was still promoting his attack plan: "Chen Bingkun, you should return to Guilin immediately. In the first division, the team of the veteran Mo (Mo Rongxin) attacked Liuzhou from the side and back. Tan Haoming led the second division to join Huang Bangbiao's mixed brigade. With Brother Song's troops attacked from the front, the other four armies attacked from the second side. I asked that at most ten days, each unit would arrive at the attack position and launch an offensive. The specific plan would be sent to you later. Everyone should be careful in this battle and show the prestige of our Gui army."

Don't be surprised, the most unprofessional thing in China in this era is the army. When the boss shouts a few words, the younger brother below will be able to run away.

Moreover, everyone is not very interested in the combat plan, because now the superiors are more confident than the Army Governor or the Army Governor. Compared with victory, they are more concerned about the benefits of their troops.

Chen Chaozheng was the first to cry and said with a sad face: "You can let go of your horse for the Governor, that is a blessing for me Chen Chaozheng, but I think you also know that we are in the difficulties. Now the gang of soldiers and gangsters under my command will not be able to do anything. If I am a little anxious, they will still make trouble for a mutiny. I will be in trouble for the Governor."

Everyone agreed, and one by one condemned the soldiers and gangsters under their command in front of Lu Rongting, and they also said that when the battle was over, they would borrow soldiers from the Army Gate and kill all the soldiers and gangsters under their command.

Lu Rongting sneered and watched these people's performances. I'm afraid the soldier is just talking about it yourself.

Fortunately, he was prepared, Lu Rongting waved his hand, and his son came up with a group of guards holding a gift plate covered with red cloth. Everyone immediately stopped performing, staring at the gift plates without saying a word.

Lu Rongting smiled and said, "There are eight gift plates here, each of which is 30,000. Everyone knows that we are in a poor province and cannot produce too many chips, so I can only guarantee two points: First, first, and give away the Liuzhou one hundred thousand; second, after the Liuzhou one, I will take everyone to fight Guangzhou. Guangzhou knows, if you take it there, how much money do you want to have in this ocean."

Amid the cheers of everyone, a trace of light seemed to pass through the eyes of the officer who had a strange smile on his face.

This officer is named He Yunzu, from Hunan. He is an adjutant in the Adjutant Office of Lu Rongting. He has been following Lu Rongting for more than a year. Because of his calmness and ability, he is trusted by Lu Rongting.

However, although He Yunzu's name was changed as if it were fake, his identity was very complicated, because he was a friend of a teahouse in Hongjiang more than a year ago. He was discovered by Gong Peng, the stationmaster of the Liuzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Department, and then gloriously became a spy, and he was out of control since then.

Due to the initial plan, Wang Zhenyu only wanted the northern part of Guangxi, and mainly the coal and iron ore of Laibin and Liuzhou. Therefore, Gong Peng's work focus at that time was on Liuzhou. There was only one thing in Nanning's work, which was to let He Yunzu spend three thousand oceans, bribe the director of the Adjutant Lu Rongting's office, and sneak into the Lu Mansion.

At that time, it was just a side chess game. Due to dialect and other reasons, Gong Peng was unable to open the situation in Liuzhou for a long time, and what he did was just collecting some military intelligence. In the end, Gong Peng was transferred to Changde Station to lurk.

As a result, eight months later, when Gong Peng was promoted to the captain of Guangxi Station, he came to Nanning to find that the small chess piece he had installed had actually entered a very central and very critical position. So around this point, Gong Peng established an intelligence transmission channel, and the Gui army had no secrets anymore.

This time, without exception, all the plans formulated by Lu Rongting and others who lacked the awareness of confidentiality were completely delivered to Gong Peng.

Gong Peng suddenly felt that everything was boring, because in this situation of knowing oneself and the enemy, the only thing the general's army could do was win besides victory.

After a brief analysis, after checking the authenticity of the information according to the work regulations of the Intelligence Department, all of this information was sent out through a sender inserted by the Military Intelligence Department in the Nanning Telegram Bureau.

Wang Zhenyu has been quite annoyed recently. After three days in Liuzhou, he originally planned to continue promoting Xiangxi's set in Liuzhou, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

The situation in Guangxi is really different from that in Xiangxi. The business here is not as developed as Xiangxi. As long as you establish interest relations with the merchant class, many things will be easy to deal with. Almost all parts of Guangxi are controlled by the landlord class. This is nothing. The county is governed by the county, and no one is governed. Anyway, in terms of civil affairs, it is impossible to control the guns and money bags. But the problem is that these landlords not only have militia groups, but also have close ties with bandits in the 100,000 mountains and 60,000 mountains. Not to mention anything else, Chen Hongying, who fled into the mountains, recently led people to attack the transportation squad of the First Division. Eleven brave soldiers were killed and eighteen were injured.

If I still promote county-level management here, I will really have a bunch of small warlords.

On September 26, the weather was pretty good, and Wang Zhenyu took his fifth brother and Wang Hu and other guards to climb Eshan outside Liuzhou City.

The adjutant who was in charge of the military obtained the information transferred from the Liuzhou branch of the Military Intelligence Department almost at the same time. When he saw the content, he immediately caught up with the mountain. Wang Zhenyu had already reached the top of the mountain at this time.

After listening to the adjutant's report, Wang Zhenyu stood on the top of the Eshan Mountain in Liuzhou at an altitude of 1,408 meters with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the clear Liu Jiang under his feet and said, "It seems that our General General of the Land also feels that the huge Guangxi cannot tolerate two great commanders anymore, so don't blame me for being unkind,."
