"Father, the child is willing to go to the southwest to meet General Cai Ye on behalf of his father!" Lu Yuguang said firmly.

"What?" Lu Rongting said in surprise.

"Young marshal, the southwest is in a state of war, and General Cai Ye must be on the front line, it is too dangerous for you to go to see him now." Lin Junting dissuaded.

Lu Yuguang shook his head firmly, looking at his father Lu Rongting.

"Yumitsu, how sure are you that the southwest will win?" Lu Rongting quickly regained his composure and began to think about the feasibility of his son's proposal.

"If our Liangguang does not assist the southwest, General Cai Ye should have a sixty percent chance of winning, and if our two Guangxi support the southwest financially, General Cai Yi will have at least a ninety percent chance of winning!" Lu Yuguang said confidently.

"Ninety percent?" Lu Rongting's eyes lit up. Although I don't fully trust my son's words, think about the current form of the southwest and Cai Yi's ability. Lu Rongting found that it was really possible.

"What if the Southwest fails?" Lu Rongting asked.

"If the southwest fails, the next target of Beiyang is very likely to be us, the Beiyang Army will attack Liangguang with the sharp spirit of a great victory over the southwest, and our Gui department has no chance of winning at all!" Lu Yuguang said in a deep voice.

Lin Junting's face changed. This was indeed the case, although they routed the 40,000-strong army of the North Ocean. But this does not mean that the other armies of Beiyang are also so rotten. The Xu Shuzheng department of the Anhui department and the Cao Kun department of the direct line are both well-known elites in Beiyang. The most important thing is that the generals who command the army are all shrewd generals, not something that can be compared to an opportunistic and sleek character like Duan Zhigui.

"Father, even if we don't help the southwest now, after the collapse of the southwest, Beiyang will not let us go. Didn't you already get the news that Beiyang would also send troops to attack Liangguang. The child believes that with the previous failure, even if the general who went south this time is not a famous general, he will definitely not be a straw bag like Duan Zhigui. Therefore, whether we help the southwest or not, the confrontation with Beiyang has become a fact. ”

Lu Rongting nodded. In favor of the son's analysis. The last trace of anger in my heart for my son's unauthorized action also disappeared, and all that remained was a deep sense of relief. Lu Rongting is a member of the Zhuang nationality, although he also received Han cultural education, but he also retains the national habits of the Zhuang nationality in his bones. Although Lu Yuguang is his stepson, he does treat Lu Yuguang as his own son, and there is no trace of estrangement in his heart.

"Father, there is still a little benefit to cooperating with the Southwest!" A gleam flashed in Lu Yuguang's eyes. Then he said slowly: "Let our Gui faction not rely on the strength of the Kuomintang, and then find an opportunity to completely expel the strength of the Kuomintang from Liangguang." Father, what is most terrifying in this world is not the duel of open swords and guns, but the silent infiltration of the Kuomintang. The collapse of the Qing Dynasty was caused by the infiltration of the army by the revolutionaries. Lesson. Therefore, my father must be absolutely cruel to the Kuomintang, and he cannot give them the slightest opportunity to take advantage of. ”

"Yuguang, do you also think that the Kuomintang is a hidden danger rather than a help?" Lu Rongting asked as he stroked his beard.

"Not bad! The Kuomintang had a wide range of influence, and all three religions and nine streams had contacts. Moreover, their revolutionary theories were easily accepted by literati and businessmen who had been exposed to Western ideas. I don't have much contact with them, though. But since they came to the city of Guangzhou, the whole of Guangzhou has not been settled. And the military schools they built. Definitely the worst of the worst. If you don't eradicate it as soon as possible, once it becomes a climate in the future, it will be a catastrophe for our Gui family. ”

Lin Junting looked at Lu Yuguang in surprise, he didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing. Although he was a little dissatisfied with what Lu Yuguang said about the hidden dangers of the Kuomintang, after all, the current Kuomintang only has 3,000 newly recruited party troops in its hands, and the guns and ammunition are not complete, and in the eyes of a veteran like Lin Junting, it is not even as good as a recruit unit of the Gui department. There is how to become a big problem for the new army, once the Kuomintang is on the right, his elite of the Gui family can easily extinguish them.

"I know these things in my heart, and I can put the affairs of the Kuomintang aside for a while. Yuguang, the situation is urgent now, and you will leave for the southwest tomorrow. As for whether our Gui faction and the Southwest New Army will form an alliance, you can get an idea! ”

"Dashuai!" Lin Junting was shocked. You must know that although Lu Yuguang is very popular with Lu Rongting, he is a young man in his early twenties after all, although what he said just now is decent, but the issue of letting him represent the interests of the entire Gui family and negotiate an alliance with the southwest is really a bit Meng Lang. This was impossible for Lu Rongting in the past.

"Junting, this world is young now. We old guys should give more opportunities to the young, they will do miracles. "I saw the rise of the northeast, the southwest. Seeing his son's almost ungodly good luck, coupled with the increasingly severe form now, Lu Rongting was ready to gamble. Bet on whether his son's vision can lead the Gui family to fight a bloody way on the road that seems to be dying. As Lu Yuguang said, Lu Rongting himself was full of jealousy of the Kuomintang. Now it is the Republic of China. The revolution has succeeded. The Kuomintang is still jumping up and down to carry out a revolution, whose life do they want to change? It's not about dealing with their siloed warlords. If those revolutionaries who talk about their ideals really set their minds on developing the strength of the army, the threat will definitely not be negligible. Therefore, if the Gui system can join forces with the southwest to repel the attack of the Beiyang. When Beiyang was repulsed, it was when Lu Rongting set out to expel the Kuomintang. In these years, none of the people who can develop and grow with the army in their hands are simple people. Lu Rongting is definitely a ruthless master.

Shaanxi, Xi'an.

He was awarded and appointed by the government of the Republic of China. Chen Shufan felt that the whole person was much more relaxed. Chief Duan's acceptance suddenly made Chen Shufan from a small warlord on the periphery of the Republic of China to a member of the Beiyang descendant Anhui warlords, and judging from Chief Duan's statement, his proximity completely won the favor of Chief Duan. Chen Shufan knew that he had sent the right charcoal in the snow this time. As long as you hold on to Chief Duan's retreat, it is not impossible to go one step further in the future and become the head of the three governors of Beiyang like Li Chun, who is famous all over the world. After all, the current Beiyang government is headed by the head of the Anhui system, General Duan. Li Chun is a direct general even if his reputation is famous, and he is not treated well by Chief Duan, if it weren't for his deep qualifications, I am afraid that he would have been subjected to the situation of Chief Duan. China's thousands of years of feudalism have taught people that it is rare to have a good end for those who work against those in power.

Chen Shufan, who was in a good mood, held a banquet in his Overseer's Mansion to entertain the generals of the Qin army. His henchmen Liu Shilong, Zeng Jixian, Zhang Baolin, Zhang Feisheng, and Zhang Danping all arrived without pulling them. Even Hu Jingyi, a KMT figure he disliked and continued to suppress, Gao Jun was invited. Chen Shufan knew that Hu Jingyi was very dissatisfied with his dictatorial actions, if he hadn't cared about his prestige in the Qinling region, Chen Shufan would have dismissed him a long time ago, and whether he would even let him live depended on the mood of the Grand Overseer Chen. The reason why Chen Shufan invited Hu Jingyi and them this time was first to demonstrate and suppress the enthusiasm of Hu Jingyi and other KMT figures. The second purpose was to take the opportunity to transfer the disobedient Hu Jingyi's regiment to the area close to Yulin, and let them do the thankless drudgery of monitoring the Northeast Security Army. And once Yulin changes in the future, with Chen Shufan's means, it will be easy to make Hu Jingyi and them become cannon fodder to resist the Northeast Army.

Duan Qirui's order to him was very clear: don't provoke the Northeast Security Army for the time being, but you must ensure the immediate defense line to prevent the Northeast Army from continuing to expand in Shaanxi. Chen Shufan clearly understood Chief Duan's order. Moreover, he easily assigned such a thorny task as resisting the Northeast Army to the Kuomintang people who were dissatisfied with him. In this way, Duan Qirui's order was completed, and the internal hidden dangers were eliminated, killing two birds with one stone.

But did things really go as smoothly as he thought they would?

In a small courtyard in the middle of Xi'an. A young man in civilian clothes had just walked in when a black muzzle was pointed into his head.

"It's a good day in Xi'an City today!" The man with the gun was a young man, and judging from his upright posture, he was definitely not an ordinary person, but an elite soldier.

"Definitely, the weather is not good today, and the sky is about to change!" The young man who was pointed at the gun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said indifferently.

The young man with the gun put away his gun, carefully searched the body of the young man in civilian clothes, and then nodded and motioned for the young man in civilian clothes to follow. Then the two quickly disappeared into the small courtyard.

"Number one! The contact person of Head Hu Jingyi is here! "The young man with the gun took the young man in civilian clothes into a small courtyard. This small courtyard seems to be quiet, but in fact, it is killing every step of the way. There are many inconspicuous places where the muzzles of black holes are hidden, and from the moment someone enters this courtyard, the muzzle of the gun has never left the enemy's vital point. As long as the person who enters the courtyard moves slightly, what awaits him is a fatal blow.

"Say it!" The number one in the mouth of the young man with the gun was a middle-aged man with a big beard, but the beard that was almost full of his face made it impossible for him to tell his specific age. But as soon as this person stood up, there was a fierce aura.

"Our Commander has entered the Overseer's Palace. The regimental commander commanded. He would start after the banquet began, using the sound of gunfire as a signal in the hope that the gentleman would be able to attract a large army in time to stabilize the situation. The young man said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Excellent! Our people have already infiltrated, but the key to this operation is still to see the methods of Commander Hu. I hope you will succeed. ”

"Yes! This is the defense map of the entire Xi'an City that Commander Hu asked me to hand over to you, the key departments of the Qin army, and the mansion where Chen Shufan's descendants are located. Hopefully, your people will be able to take control of these places in the first place. In this way, when the regimental commander takes control of the Overseer's Mansion, he will be able to settle down the entire Xi'an City as quickly as possible. ”
