At night, the Xuzhou military government seemed very quiet, with only a few guards walking back and forth outside the gate.

"...Zhang Xun"

Reciting this name, Leng Yuqiu frowned slightly. Now Yuan Shikai has mobilized Feng Guozhang's Second Army and Zhang Xun's troops as the main force, and the Beiyang 4th Division as the reserve force to attack Shanghai and Ning. Their first stop must be

To capture Xuzhou, with the strength of the Third Division, not to mention Feng Guozhang's Second Army, it was Zhang Xun's Military Guard Front Army...

Zhang Xun can be said to be Leng Yuqiu's old rival. During the revolution, Leng Yuqiu led the third division and drove Zhang Xun from Nanjing to Jiangbei. He then drove Zhang Xun from Jiangbei to Xuzhou, and finally drove him away again.

When he arrived in Yanzhou, Shandong, in order to show that he was still loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he forbade his subordinates to cut their hair braids. He could be said to be a die-hard loyalist to the former Qing Dynasty.

And now Zhang Xun has taken refuge with Yuan Shikai, and his troops are stationed along the railway. If they attack under starry night, I'm afraid...

"Commander Leng, now Jin Yunpeng's Fang Yupu Brigade, the vanguard of the 5th Division of the Beiyang Army, has entered Hanzhuang with machine guns and artillery. If we want to prevent the Beiyang army from attacking along the railway line, we must blow up the railway south of Hanzhuang. It is best to

Blow up a railway bridge. Only in this way can we buy time for the First Division and the Eighth Division."

Yang Shukan looked at the hesitant Leng Yuqiu and said, after Leng Yuqiu went to Nanjing for a meeting and returned to Xuzhou, he also came here. "Mayor of Lianyungang City" this is the new job given to him by Yuan Jun's headquarters.

However, he knew that whether he could secure his position as mayor of Lianyungang City depended on whether Leng Yuqiu could block the Beiyang Army's attack.

"this……"

Looking up at Yang Shukan, Leng Yuqiu hesitated for a while.

In June, Yuan Shikai dismissed three Kuomintang governors from their posts. A few days ago, the 6th Beiyang Division went to Jiujiang. On the 7th, the navy's Chutai, Haichio and other ships arrived in Shanghai.

In just two or three months, Yuan Shikai was ready for war, and the Kuomintang was also making preparations. Huang Xing, who had always been unwilling to use force to challenge Yuan, sent Zhao Zhengping and He Chengjun to Ning and invited the number one stationed in Ning.

Bai Wenwei, a senior general of the Eighth Division and former Anhui governor, held a military meeting with him. It happened that Liu Jianfan, the commander of the Eighth Division Cavalry, returned from Hunan and passed through Jiangxi. He informed the meeting of the situation in Jiangxi and said that the uprising was imminent and had to be

It seemed that his left hand had been stretched out, but his right hand could only follow. So Prime Minister Li's Mansion in Nanjing decided to announce the impeachment against Yuan on July 15.

And now it is only July 8th. If we take action rashly now...

What's more, Leng Yuqiu knew that at that military meeting, the Eighth Division commander Chen Zhiji and the brigade commanders Wang Xiaozhen and Huang Kaiyuan were well aware of the disparity in military strength between the two sides and had no confidence in defeating Yuan. They used the excuse of the Eighth Division

There are still many vacancies, so I don't agree to send troops to attack Yuan immediately. And the Eighth Division is the best-equipped, most comprehensive and most combat-effective unit in the Jiangsu Army. If the Eighth Division is unwilling to attack Yuan.

"Cang Bai, the Eighth Division has not yet announced its attack on Yuan, and the headquarters of the army to attack Yuan has not yet been established. How can I..."

Leng Yuqiu was silent as he pondered, but Yang Shukan pretended to smile mysteriously.

"Master Leng is worried about the Eighth Division?"

Looking at Leng Yuqiu, Yang Shukan didn't think there was any surprise. At this time, no one wanted to be a fool, so he suppressed his voice and whispered.

"The Eighth Division Commander Chen Zhiji and the brigade commanders Wang Xiaozhen, Huang Kaiyuan and others have no intention of attacking Yuan. Mr. Sun has long been extremely dissatisfied with them, and Commander Leng also knows that Chen Zhiji is not a member of our alliance, and Mr. Sun has no regard for him at all.

There is no trust at all. In order to raise an army to attack Yuan, before you and I returned to Xuzhou, Mr. Zhu Zhuowen was sent from Shanghai with 20,000 yuan to move several battalions and company commanders of the Eighth Division to Nanjing and told them to kill the division commander.

, the brigade commander declared independence."

What

Yang Shukan's words made Leng Yuqiu open his eyes in shock. The company commander of the sports battalion and the commander of the killing division declared independence.

In the future, Yang Shukan noticed the strange color on Leng Yuqiu's face and said proudly.

"With 20,000 yuan of money, wouldn't it be possible for those middle and lower-ranking officers to be eager to try it out? Chen Zhiji, Wang Xiaozhen, Huang Kaiyuan and others would either have their heads chopped off or die in a few days.

Knowing current affairs, he announced his rebellion against Yuan and forced Cheng Dequan to send a telegram to challenge Yuan."

Yang Shukan's words caused a slight chill to rise in Leng Yuqiu's heart, and the triumphant look intensified the coldness in his heart. He knew Chen Zhiji, Wang Xiaozhen and Huang Kaiyuan very well, although Chen Zhiji was not

The comrades of the Tongmenghui, let alone the comrades of the Kuomintang, are leaning towards the revolution, and Wang Xiaozhen and Huang Kaiyuan are even more comrades in the revolution. The reason why the three of them opposed the immediate attack on Yuan was basically due to the disparity in strength.

I hoped that the launch could be postponed, but Mr. Sun actually...

"boom……"

Suddenly, several gunshots were heard from outside the window, interrupting Leng Yuqiu's thoughts. Before he could react, the next moment, gunshots were heard one after another like exploding beans around the military government, accompanied by the gunshots.

, and several violent explosions were heard.

"how……"

The sudden sound of gunfire only made Yang Shukan's face turn pale with fright.

Could it be that the Beiyang Army is calling?

How come, the tenth regiment...

Leng Yuqiu, who was also confused, was about to rush out of the study and figure out what happened when the guard captain rushed in.

"Commander, the 12th Regiment has rebelled."

What

As soon as he heard the news, Leng Yuqiu looked at Yang Shukan almost instinctively. The look in his eyes could almost kill people. Could it be that this Yang Shukan was the person sent by Mr. Sun to mobilize his troops?

"Tie Yang Shukan to me"

At the same time as he yelled, Leng Yuqiu took off the pistol from the wall, but Yang Shukan was startled by Leng Yuqiu's change and quickly waved his hand and said.

"No, it's none of my business, Mr. Leng, I don't, I don't..."

The few guards who rushed in ignored Yang Shukan's excuse and tied him up with ropes, but Leng Yuqiu, who was holding a pistol, asked loudly at the guard captain.

"Where is the Chief of Staff? Where is Chief of Staff Shi?"

In the Taibai Building, Fang Yanjing, whose military uniform was stained with blood, looked at the room full of his colleagues who had been detained, and walked up to Shi Fangsheng with a smile.

"Chief of Staff Shi is polite when he takes office."

"you……"

Pointing at Fang Yanjing who was holding a gun, Shi Fangsheng could hardly believe his eyes, he, he rebelled

"You want to rebel"

"Not a rebellion"

Fang Yanjing roared and narrowed his eyes.

"It's a military remonstrance"

"Fang, you dare to rebel?"

Shi Mingqu, who had not yet figured out the situation, asked loudly.

"You are not afraid, Mr. Leng..."

At this time, the gunshots coming from the southwest made the uncle and nephew of the Shi family change their expressions. The gunshots came from the military government, that is, the division headquarters.

"Chief of Staff, I, I listen to you."

"Chief of Staff, I am your man..."

Everyone who figured out the situation quickly expressed their loyalty, and Fang Yanjing smiled.

"They are all brothers. How could I, Fang Pengyuan, not know about it? How could Pengyuan succeed without the help of the big guys to pester Shi?"

At this moment, he showed a clear sense of grudges and turned to look at the uncle and nephew of the Shi family.

"Chief of Staff Shi, Commander Shi, I'm sorry."

With a wave of their hands, several soldiers immediately escorted the two people out of Taibai Building, and then several gunshots were heard outside the building.

"Chief of Staff, what do you say, brothers listen to you"

Several battalion and company commanders who had just "merited" immediately responded in unison, but Fang Yanjing listened to the gunfire coming from the direction of the division headquarters without a word. At this time, the gunfire there was no longer as intensive as before.

, the war over there should be over soon.

"We must catch Leng Yuqiu."

With a whisper in his heart, Fang Yanjing understood that success or failure depended on whether he could catch Leng Yuqiu. As long as he could catch Leng Yuqiu, the matter would be considered a success. If Leng Yuqiu escaped, Zhuli Guoyi's

The 10th Regiment is only sixty miles away from Xuzhou. If you add the 11th Regiment, you will really have no place to die.

At this moment, the gunfire suddenly stopped. A moment after the news of the gunfire, Fang Yanjing's heart tightened. He grabbed the window frame and looked in the direction of the division headquarters. What was going on there?

In the span of a cigarette, the horse's hooves were passed over, and a cavalryman rushed downstairs in Taibai. Before the horse could stop, the cavalryman jumped off his horse and went straight upstairs.

"Chief of Staff, capture the division headquarters..."

"Where's Mr. Leng?"

"Reply to the Chief of Staff, Commander Leng has given up his weapons."

Hearing these words, a stone fell from Fang Yanjing's throat, and he who was originally nervous instantly relaxed.

"That's good, that's good..."

In fact, he had already made the quickest plan. If Leng Yuqiu escaped, he would take his team to Hanzhuang and join the Beiyang Army. If Leng Yuqiu died, he would take his team and flee to Lianyungang. But now

Leng Yuqiu is not dead, this matter is settled

"Go and see Mr. Leng"

In the same study, Leng Yuqiu, who was imprisoned in the study, looked at a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Who was he?
