The Beiyang army occupied Fuzhou City bloodlessly, and the news reached Nanjing, and the dull atmosphere of the entire Nanjing City dispelled a lot. The Northeast Army's momentum reflected the defeat of the Beiyang Army, giving the world a feeling that the Beiyang Building was about to fall. Now that Cao Kun is showing his military might in Fujian, he has naturally warmed up the flame of honor that was almost extinguished in Beiyang. In the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Beiyang represented absolute power. Li Hongzhang relied on Beiyang to let the devastated Manchu government live for several more decades. Yuan Shikai relied on Beiyang to let him step on the pinnacle of power.

Fuzhou City.

Cao Kun lived in the most symbolic Overseer Mansion in Fuzhou without any scruples. The headquarters of the Beiyang Army was also set up here. The imposing and illegal Beiyang army brought great pressure to the people of Fuzhou. The local official Hao Shen immediately sent gold and silver treasures and two young girls to please Cao Dashuai. For these, Cao Dashuai accepted it without any scruples. This made the well-known characters in the entire Fuzhou City breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Cao Dashuai received money and people, so he would not trouble them for no reason. Before the return of Li Houji, the overseer of Fujian, the fate of the common people of Fuzhou was in the hands of Cao Kun, and the people of Fuzhou were still willing to spend some money to live a peaceful birthday.

"Report to the marshal, the movements of the Kuomintang army have been ascertained. After the revolutionary army withdrew from Fuzhou, it took the mountain road and was moving towards the southern part of Fujian. "Beiyang's huge intelligence capabilities were launched, and the movements of the party army were soon discovered. After all, the current party army does not have the ability of later generations.

"To the south?" Cao Kun was stunned. Then he laughed a little. The Kuomintang was naïve. Do they want to repeat the trick of hiding the world?

"Send a telegram to Li Hou's Christian army, asking the main force of the Fujian army to enter the mountains directly and encircle and suppress the rebels. In this operation, it is necessary to block the road for the party troops to go south and wipe out all these rebels in northern Fujian. "The purpose of the Kuomintang going south was nothing more than to enter the southern Fujian region, where the Beiyang was weak. If Cao Kun turned a blind eye to them, they could take the opportunity to expand their influence in southern Fujian and strengthen the strength of the revolutionary army. If Cao Kun really made a dead move, they could also lead the army to withdraw from the Liangguang region. After all, on the surface, the Kuomintang and the Liangguang Gui system are still allies.

"Handsome! The strength of the Fujian army did not have an advantage, coupled with the long-distance march, rashly entering the mountains and forests to fight, and the victory was not very certain! The adjutant said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, you just have to follow my orders!" Cao Kun smiled mysteriously, not accepting the adjutant's suggestion at all.

"Big Shuai ......" what else the adjutant wants to say.

"Don't worry! Ben is not a fool. I also know that it is unlikely that the Min army will accept my order. But how can you know the result if you don't try it! Cao Kun explained to the adjutant. The adjutant was the temporary head of his operations department, and was responsible for assisting Cao Kun in directing the battle. Cao Kun fully trusted Wu Peifu, and Wu Peifu also reciprocated the favor and repaid him with all his might. not only recruited excellent staff for him, but also set up an excellent combat department for him. This allowed Cao Kun to flexibly command the troops after leaving Wu Peifu.

The telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Min army. Lee Houji was furious. Now, after a hard trek, they have come very close to Fuzhou City. As the overseer of Fujian, Li Houji cared more about his lair than anyone, and the lair was breached, allowing him to lead the army north at a frantic speed. In this case, he was naturally hated by the Kuomintang party and army. The intervention of the Beiyang headquarters also made him feel embarrassed, and the troops in his hands may not be able to completely extinguish the party army. Even if it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God in the future, in order to extinguish the revolutionary army as soon as possible, Li Houji can only invite the main force of Beiyang to come.

The army in his hands is already the last elite of the Min army. If it continues to be lost, it may affect his Li Cunhou's status. Now that the Nanjing Beiyang Government has just been established, it is the time when various departments are spread out and personnel are floating on a large scale. The military represents a solid right and interests, and after many years of floating dust, Li Houji is well aware of the important role that the military plays for these people.

"Overseer, what does he mean? We finally rushed to Fuzhou, but he didn't even give us a chance to go back to the city to drink saliva, so he asked us to pursue the rebels on the mountain road, as if they were the masters of Fujian Province. Isn't this a magpie's nest! We must not say yes! Li Houji's staff said in a deep voice.

"Damn, after the 20,000 elite troops of Beiyang entered Fuzhou, since they got off the ship, they didn't have the slightest intention of attacking the party army. What the hell are they doing in Fujian? It's not always a vacation. "Although Fujian is not peaceful, but compared with the entire Republic of China, the Republic of China is too lively, in the past year, the Republic of China has had countless masters, and the original monopoly of Beiyang is in danger of collapse. Among them, the Northeast has not stopped. The overwhelming news, Li Houji can't pay attention to it if he doesn't want to. Paying attention to the major events of the country every day has become a good habit developed by the top leaders of the Republic of China. On the other hand, this also promoted the dissemination of information about the Republic of China.

"Overseer, do you think Beiyang wants to deal with us? I heard that Wu Peifu, the marshal of the Beiyang Army, stayed in Henan, and took advantage of the time when Zhao Qi, the overseer of Henan, went north, and absorbed the strength of the entire Henan army, and even occupied Luoyang, Henan as a base, and recruited troops on a large scale. Cao Kun led a large army to our Fuzhou at this time, is it possible to attack our Fujian army? Another of Li Cunhou's aides said. This man has a grim face, and seems to be extremely good at intrigue. The starting point of looking at the problem is naturally different from that of the orthodox literati of the current Republic of China.

"Don't talk nonsense. After all, our Fujian army is a branch of Beiyang, and now Beiyang has experienced a major war, and all departments have suffered heavy losses. Based on the need to replenish soldiers, the government's actions are also understandable, after all, Henan is a densely populated place in the Central Plains, and it is the best place for soldiers. The conscription of the Beiyang Army in Henan is not surprising. Compared with other identities in Beiyang, our Fujian does not have a large population, and even if the Beiyang government does it, it will choose other provinces instead of our remote Fujian. Li Cunhou glanced at the gloomy staff and said.

"Overseer, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people! No matter what the purpose of Beiyang's visit to Fujian is, I suggest that we should keep our distance from the Beiyang Army. Didn't Cao Dashuai let us pursue the party army! Then let's pursue, I feel that it is better to face the Kuomintang rebels than to face the elite army of Beiyang! The first staff member to speak said.

"Nope! We must go back to this Fuzhou City! Otherwise, once the Kuomintang rebels in the province are eliminated, it is unknown whether the entire Fuzhou City will have a foothold for us. In this case, we naturally cannot relax in the slightest. Although Cao Kun is a marshal in the army, but as the overseer of Fujian, I am not weaker than him in terms of identity, and he is a newcomer in Beiyang compared to his qualifications, so what is there to be afraid of him! Li Houji said in a deep voice.

"Dashuai, will this offend Cao Dashuai, after all, Cao Dashuai is President Feng's henchman, let's ignore his orders like this, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." The gloomy staff thought about Li Houji's identity and said in a deep voice.

"There must be trouble, and it is a big trouble since he Cao Kun led 20,000 elites to Fujian. However, with the old man's qualifications in Beiyang, he didn't dare to do anything to the old man! Li Houji has this self-confidence, as a figure who rose in the Li Hongzhang period, the people of Beiyang in the era of Yuan Shikai's reign are all juniors.

Fuzhou City. Singing and dancing in the Overseer's mansion, a beautiful young woman shows off her charming appearance in front of Cao Kun. Although Cao Kun is not young and not handsome, his identity is too shocking, although he has always looked at the dancers in the arena in a daze. But a man who has been in a high position for a long time always has a breathtaking bearing.

"Dashuai, I just received information! The main force of the Fujian army did not change direction, but came directly to Fuzhou City! "The intelligence officer sent the information to Cao Kun. Cao Kun instructed that once he received news about the main force of the Fujian army, no matter what he was doing, he would report it immediately.

"I see." The expression on Cao Kun's face remained unchanged, as if this kind of thing had been expected a long time ago.

"Dashuai, shouldn't we make some preparations?" The adjutant said with some concern. Cao Kun now occupies the Fujian Overseer Fu in a grand manner. Because of the occupation of the party army. Li Houji's family members have long been blasted out. When Cao Kun entered the city, Li Houji's family naturally did not dare to move back when the situation was unclear. Later, the domineering Cao Dashuai entered the military mansion, and before Li Houji came back, naturally no one in the Li family dared to touch Cao Dashuai's tiger might.

"Not necessarily. Li Dujun is an old man in Beiyang, so he naturally doesn't care about these things. However, he ignored the order of this marshal, and when he arrived in Fuzhou City, we had to talk about it. Cao Kun said with a smile on his face. It's just that the coldness in his words makes the people around him shudder.

"Dashuai, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Li Houji has been operating in Fujian for many years and has a deep foundation, even if we have strong troops, we may not be able to help him. If things change, I am afraid that it will lead to more serious problems. The adjutant looked worried. Although he didn't know the specific task of Dashuai's entry into Fujian, he could roughly guess what Cao Kun was going to do from Dashuai's strange actions and the current situation of Yushuai Wu Peifu. But it was because he knew that he was worried. Li Houji is not an overseer appointed by the new government of Beiyang, he is an old man from Beiyang, and he has been in charge of the local government for many years. When there was a revolution in the south, Fujian's dominance was never lost from Li Houji's hands, which also proved Li Houji's ability from the side.

"That's a good word. If the dragon's strength is strong enough to kill the earth's head snake in seconds, do you still need to be scrupulous? Hey! In recent years, Ben Shuai has not been emerging, and the world regards Ben Shuai as a docile sheep. The Republic of China is now a big era, all parties are strong, and geniuses are vying to show their faces, how can this handsome be willing to be behind? Let the prestige of Ben Shuai start to rise from Fujian! Cao Kun drank a glass of wine leisurely. Feeling a little overwhelmed, I got up and went to rest. As for Li Houji, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
