"The 3,000 party army is really nothing, but what if these 3,000 people are all graduates of military academies? Or are these 3,000 people all officers? In this way, the power in the hands of the Kuomintang is even greater. You must know that soldiers are easy to recruit nowadays, but qualified officers are hard to find! Lu Yuguang said in a deep voice.

"Young marshal, if it is really a student army of three thousand, the hidden danger is really not small. Although I have never seen this Sun Wen, his name is like thunder, and the Kuomintang is known as the largest party in the Republic of China. In recent years, the revolutionary party in the Republic of China has been suppressed a lot, but its influence still cannot be underestimated. Young marshal, you didn't participate in the Protectorate War a year ago, and I don't know how much power the Kuomintang generated at that time, and even a military strongman like Yuan Shikai was ousted from power. If you want me to say that the big handsome has lured the wolf into the room this time. We shouldn't have invited Sun Wen's Kuomintang to Guangdong. Lin Junting shook his head and said.

"Uncle Lin, my father is also difficult to ride a tiger now. We will take over the whole territory of Guangxi, and the news of resisting the southward movement of the Beiyang Army has reached Guangdong, and Sun Wenzheng is jumping up and down for this matter, wanting to take the opportunity to expand the scale of the Kuomintang party army. My father is also having a headache now. Now that Guangdong is so happy, my father is afraid that something big will happen if he leaves. Lu Yuguang shook his head and said.

"Young marshal, if you want me to say that the big marshal is too concerned about face. These revolutionary parties keep saying that they are for the revolution, but what is the result? The Republic of China was established. Now the life of the common people is not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the power of foreign foreigners has penetrated into the western mountains! "Lin Junting, as an old man of the Gui family, followed Lu Rongting to participate in the Protectorate War, and he lacked a good impression of the Beiyang government. What's more, in the establishment of the Republic of China, the status quo of China has not changed.

"Uncle Lin, don't say these words! Fathers have their own ideas. When I came, my father had already authorized me to take over the mess in Guangxi! Lu Yuguang said with a smile.

"What? Take over Guangxi? Young marshal, has the marshal delegated power? Lin Junting said with some surprise.

Lu Yuguang nodded with a smile and said, "Speaking of this, I also want to thank Young Marshal Feng in the Northeast!" Because of the presence of this underage demon, everyone will be able to accept my age. My father is now trapped in Guangzhou because of the Kuomintang. Therefore, I hope that I will take over the government affairs of Guangxi and exercise my ability. ”

"Great! Our Gui family also needs young strength to forge ahead. Young marshal, don't worry, my Lao Lin will definitely support you fully! Lin Junting said with a smile.

"That little nephew is here, thank you Uncle Lin first!"

The two chatted a little more about the situation in Guangdong. Then turn the conversation to the ongoing war in Hung Yen County.

"Uncle Lin, how do I feel that Beiyang's movements are a little weird! It stands to reason that now the Beiyang Three-Way Army and the Western Army, this road in front of us should also be regarded as an important force, why are they so sluggish. Lu Yuguang couldn't figure it out, because Beiyang and the Gui system had been facing each other for seven or eight days, and during these seven or eight days, Beiyang launched an attack on average once a day, which looked like that, but the intensity of the attack was pitiful. Even a lot of the time it gives people the feeling of coping. This is completely different from what Katsura originally expected.

"This is also something I don't understand, if the other party wants to paralyze us, and then take the opportunity to attack on a large scale, this is also unlikely. The enemy has an elite army of 40,000 and has a slight advantage here. No matter how weak they are, we will not underestimate the enemy. Can't figure it out! Lin Junting shook his head and said with a wry smile. Originally, when he was stationed in Xing'an County, he thought that the Gui family might usher in the first large-scale tough battle since the founding of the army, but the fact was completely beyond their expectations. After the Beiyang Army entered Guilin, the speed of the march dropped sharply and became slow. When the Beiyang army arrived in Xing'an County, Beiyang's performance was even more tepid, as if they were here to travel, not to fight.

"What does Duan Zhigui want to do? Even if he wants to paralyze our attention so that he can find an opportunity to assault? It's time for a move! How did Beiyang behave as if he had been stationed here for a long time? Lu Yuguang thought for a while and said.

"I can't be sure of this, Duan Zhigui was originally Yuan Shikai's henchman, and later after Yuan Shikai stepped down, he took refuge in Duan Qirui of the Anhui family, and he was Duan Qirui's confidant general. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to become the commander of the Anhui army. We don't know what the specific situation is in Beiyang now. Lin Junting sighed and said. If Lu Rongting authorized it, at least he would send troops to test it, after all, the strength of the Gui army on the front line was not weak, and it would not make it confusing now.

"Uncle Lin, why don't you let my independent group try it! I think they can get out of it no matter what situation they face! Lu Yuguang said.

"Young marshal! It's not good! I'm not worried about the strength of the Independent Regiment, after all, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment are the elite carefully selected from the entire Gui army. He has strong combat effectiveness and is also loyal to the young marshal. I'm worried that I'll lose something in the process of temptation, and I won't be able to explain it to the old guys when I go back. Lin Junting shook his head and said.

"Uncle Lin! The army is not formed for the sake of good looks, but for war. It is because my independent regiment is known as the most elite unit of the Gui Army that it needs to be tempered by war even more. The honor of a unit does not come from the boasting of its own people, but from war, through military exploits. Lu Yuguang said firmly.

"Well, since the young marshal has decided, I will send a large army to cooperate with the actions of the independent regiment. Beiyang is so tepid, I don't have the bottom in my heart! ”

Northwest of Xin'an County, the garrison of the Beiyang Army.

"Three of a kind!"

"Two handles!"

"Bump!"

“……”

"It's mushy! Ha ha! Today's Lao Tzu's luck is smooth! A rough voice came from the command of the Beiyang Army. There was a table in the center of the big army marshal's tent, which was supposed to be a military machine, and several middle-aged men in military uniforms were happily rubbing mahjong. The whole tent was full of smoke and miasma. These officers who are on the rise don't look like soldiers, they are shouting and having fun.

If anyone saw the shining gold stars on the uniforms of these people, they would be shocked to find that these four people were actually one general and three lieutenant generals. Although the generals of the Republic of China government are not valuable, not everyone can be generals. But looking at the actions of these people, it is simply a discredit to the soldiers.

At this time, a neat colonel walked into the tent gently, walked up to the general at the head, and whispered: "General, today is the time to attack!" ”

Since the Beiyang Army was stationed here, this mahjong table was set up in the big tent, and the four main generals of the Beiyang Army played mahjong every day, and they were perfunctory for military affairs.

"Yes!" The admiral, who was shuffling the cards, glanced up at the colonel, and said indifferently: "Staff Officer Li, you look at it, and it will be done as it was." After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the young staff officer in front of him to leave.

The young staff officer also seemed to be surprised by this kind of thing, and simply left.

"Dashuai, will we have a problem like this?" One of the lieutenant generals, who was sitting to the left of the leader, said with some concern.

"It's okay! Staff Officer Li is his own person, and he knows what to do! Besides, we're not idle, aren't we fighting with the Gui army! Come on, draw the cards! "The general headed by this is Duan Zhigui, the commander of the Beiyang Army. Duan Zhigui likes mahjong very much, and he basically plays mahjong when he has nothing to do. When he was in Beijing, he was still somewhat restrained and knew how to do serious things first, but now he is leading the army alone, and here is Guangxi, where the emperor is far away, Duan Zhigui's old problem has relapsed, and he plays mahjong every day. Even obsessed to the point of not wanting to take care of military affairs.

"Handsome! The Prime Minister sent another telegram. Urge us to deal with the enemy as soon as possible. Shall we expand our actions a little bit? Said the lieutenant general, who was sitting on his right hand.

"How can it be so easy, we are facing the Gui family with strong combat effectiveness. Half a year ago, Chen Jiongming's Cantonese system was very powerful, and he was not beaten by the Gui system. Now the nest in Guangdong is occupied by Lu Rongting. Moreover, when President Yuan Da was alive, he said that this Lu Rongting is a character and cannot be underestimated. I feel that it is good for us to be like this, confronting the Gui family on the surface, and actually waiting for news from the other three-way armies with peace of mind. As long as the Southwest War has a result, it will be time for us to withdraw our troops. Duan Zhigui said with a smile. Although Duan Zhigui's status in Beiyang is not low, he was not very popular in Beijing some time ago. This is all because he was the governor of Fengtian Province. It can be said that Feng Yong's rise has a lot to do with him. If it weren't for the fact that he had promoted Feng Yong to Yuan Shikai as the overseer of Jilin Province, Feng Yong would not have been able to unify Jilin Province so quickly, let alone have the strength to sweep the entire three eastern provinces. It was only after Feng Yong swept the three eastern provinces that Duan Zhigui resigned from the title of governor of Fengtian very wisely, and returned to Beijing comfortably with the wealth he had looted in the northeast.

Feng Yong didn't feel sorry for him, after all, Duan Zhigui was a loyal minister of Beiyang, Yuan Shikai's confidant, although Yuan Shikai was in internal and external difficulties at that time, he had not completely lost his power. Besides, Feng Yong also has something to ask for him. Otherwise, they would never have watched it leave with millions of people's fat and people's ointment.

Although he has not been seen for a while, Duan Zhigui is extremely proficient in the way of drilling. Soon won Duan Qirui's trust again, and when Duan Qirui moved westward, he became the commander of the southward journey.

It can also be seen from here how poor Duan Qirui's vision is. It is no wonder that in the original time and space, the monstrous Anhui system would be so vulnerable in the face of the direct line.

"Dashuai, will your Gui clan come to attack us?" The lieutenant general sitting opposite Duan Zhigui said.

"Haha!" Duan Zhigui and the three looked at each other and smiled.

"As long as Lu Rongting's brain is not broken, he will definitely not fight for Cai Ye and us." Duan Zhigui said confidently.
