The white wolf's external intelligence mainly relies on the Special Affairs Bureau, while the internal information of Henan relies on a wide distribution of eyeline, and it is the existence of these eyeliners that allows the white wolf to crisscross Henan and other places for such a long time in history.

After working with the white wolf for a while, Yan Shao was of course very aware of this, so the first thing the Special Affairs Bureau did before sending troops was to clean up the white wolf's eyeliner in various parts of Henan.

The means are similar to those in the past, either they are bought, and those who can't be bought will be killed.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the troops of the white wolf in Zhumadian and other places were suddenly taken by surprise, after all, now that the war is over, the white wolf and Yan Shao are allies again. Although there are some contradictions between them now, he can't imagine that Yan Shao has been thinking about how to kill him since a long time ago...

Cui Jie's side, because of the surprise of the Zhumadian White Wolf Army, the bandit army in the city suddenly fell into chaos. However, the troops in Cui Jie's hands were worse after all, and he had to divide a battalion to block several other city gates, so after capturing part of the city, he had to stop and wait for follow-up reinforcements.

Fortunately, although the White Wolf Army in Zhumadian fell into chaos after being attacked, it did not desperately flee, but counterattacked after discovering that Cui Jie's troops were insufficient.

Although Cui Jie's troops are insufficient, it is impossible to be driven out of the city by such a group of bandits, after all, the situation in the city is very chaotic, and these bandit troops cannot concentrate too many troops. Moreover, for this operation, Cui Jie also brought more than a dozen Makqin machine guns over and set them up in the city. The White Wolf Army couldn't break through Cui Jie's blockade at all.

What's more, in addition to Makqin, Cui Jie's cavalry regiment was also equipped with many light machine guns.

After throwing down three or four hundred corpses, the White Wolf Army finally had to give up the idea of driving Cui Jie out of Zhumadian. And at this time, some of the more agile leaders began to worry.

Because the current situation is obviously that the National Social Army has done something to them. Although there is only one regiment of cavalry in Zhumadian now, who knows how many infantry are coming behind them.

Soon, several of the more influential leaders gathered their troops and wanted to break through a gate with a relatively small number of people.

However, although there was only one company of people at each city gate, they also carried a lot of heavy equipment, so these bandit troops could not break through in a short period of time, which also made these bandit troops anxious.

At the same time, the follow-up infantry is less than 10 kilometers away from Zhumadian. This is also the plan of Fu Xiuming and others.

Although the Special Affairs Bureau has tried its best to clean up the white wolf's eyeliner in Henan through bribery and other means, it is impossible for the Special Affairs Bureau to clean up all of them after all. And there are always accidents happening in this world—————— the so-called accidents are things that happen even when you think you are ready for everything.

That's why Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang will take the means of surprise attack first. In this way, even if some fish slip through the net, it will not be too late to warn the white wolf's troops in various places, and if the infantry and cavalry are acting together, take into account the movement speed of the infantry army. Cavalry could only advance at a slower pace. The chances of being found are much greater. The only pity is that the number of cavalry is less, otherwise the cavalry alone will be able to solve everything at hand.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who said that when the battle with Beiyang was fought before, the casualties of both the Beiyang Cavalry and the Guoshe Cavalry were not small, and now there are not many cavalry that can be used by both sides.

And Zhumadian is already a relatively easy target, although there are three thousand white wolf troops, most of them are stationed in the county. Most of the other White Wolf Armies are in the wilderness and countryside, and they can't be blocked even if they want to. Compared with Zhumadian, this side also needs the support of cavalry.

————————————————————

After a period of rushing, the follow-up reinforcements were finally put into battle.

This unit is an infantry brigade attached to the National Social Army. Due to the relationship of less losses in the battle, he was transferred by Fu Xiuming to clean up the bandit army in Zhumadian—————— Zhumadian is a larger city on the Jinghan railway line, and if you want to resume the operation of the Jinghan Railway, you must take it back, Yan Shao naturally can't let the city fall into the hands of the White Wolf Army.

"Brigadier Zheng, you're finally here..."

Seeing that the reinforcements were finally coming, Cui Jie wiped the black ash on his face and said happily.

Although the strength of the White Wolf Army is not very good, the number of people is there after all, and there are all kinds of weapons and ammunition supported by Yan Shao before, and the firepower is not much inferior to Cui Jie. Of course, these are not what Cui Jie is most worried about, although the weapons supported are advanced, but these bandits have no ability to use them at all, what really worries Cui Jie is the consumption of ammunition.

Forget the rifles in their hands, Madsen and Makqin, these are all big bullet eaters, and they rode out lightly this time, and the ammunition they carried on horseback was not much. Now, of course, it's fine, but if they run out of ammunition...

I'm afraid that it's a little troublesome...

Although the White Wolf Army in the city doesn't have much ammunition, it's still more than them, isn't it?

From the time of the raid to the present, Cui Jie's troops have consumed almost two-thirds of their ammunition, and if the reinforcements are any later, the situation will be a little troublesome.

Seeing Cui Jie's slightly embarrassed appearance, Zheng Xingping said apologetically. "I'm sorry, Xiao Cui, you also know that our two-legged walk is a little slow after all, okay, let the brothers rest for a while, and we can leave the rest to us..."

After speaking, Zheng Xingping turned his head and looked at his adjutant. "Let the first, second, and third battalions of the twenty-first regiment be scattered to the other three gates, and replace all the brethren."

"Yes!" The adjutant immediately took the order.

Soon, about three battalions of men rushed to the other three gates and took over from the cavalry, who were still heavily guarded there.

At this time, except for the Guards Regiment, the other units of the National Social Army were still using the old establishment, so there were only more than 4,000 infantry brigades. That said, no matter how you look at it. They are far more than ten times stronger than the white wolf bandit army in Zhumadian, so it is easy to control the battle situation.

Gradually, Zheng Xingping's troops began to advance the battle line into the city. In the end, after spending a day and night, all the white wolf bandits entrenched in Zhumadian were finally annihilated.

The battle in Zhumadian is relatively easy to solve, but it is more troublesome compared to other places. Because as I once said, not every gang of bandits is stationed in the county, and those in the wilderness should not expect to be able to block them in the city.

And it is impossible for the Special Affairs Bureau to remove all the eyeliner in a powerful way, there are always a few fish that slip through the net. So some places are more successful, and some places are...

Because of the above reasons. Despite the heavy losses, the white wolf still had more than 5,000 troops in his hands. At this time, the white wolf had a keen sense that there would be no way out if he continued to stay in Henan......... Or even a living way...

So without even thinking about it, the white wolf decided to take the troops to Shaanxi.

It's just that on the way to Shaanxi, the white wolf was blocked by Yan Xishan's troops, and there was no way. At this time, even Beiyang had already succumbed, how dare Yan Xishan release water to the white wolf. Moreover, Yan Xishan was reluctant to let this gang of rogues run into his rule, after all, such rogues would not disturb the place because he let them live...

And after discovering that the main transportation routes from Henan to Shaanxi, Shanxi and Hubei were almost blocked, the white wolf finally understood what was coming.

And at this time, the ammunition in the white wolf's hand was almost consumed. The equipment of the National Socialist Army is different from the ammunition used in ordinary ordnance. There is not even a place to replenish ammunition, everything seems to have already concluded the end of the white wolf...

————————————————————

Yan Shao didn't pay attention to the affairs of Henan after giving some orders, after all, it was just a gang of rogues, unless Yan Xishan's gang released water, it was almost impossible to escape under the net—————— of course, it was not ruled out that Yan Xishan, Li Yuanhong and Zhang Fenghui secretly released water, but that was almost equivalent to taking the initiative to provide Yan Shao with an excuse, Yan Shao didn't think those three people would be so stupid...

Or rather...

If they were really so stupid, Yan Shao would have asked for it...

What's more, Yan Xishan and they will also be afraid that Yan Shao will use the excuse of suppressing bandits. Send troops into the territory of Shaanxi and other places to occupy a magpie's nest or something, naturally they dare not let the white wolf in...

At the same time in Jiangxi. Xiao Yongyan, who had already been prepared, had also begun to make a move on the Kuomintang. Xiao Yongyan's second division was divided into two routes, one to Fujian and the other to Guangdong, and then Yan Shao transferred a brigade from Wuhu to Hunan...

Three directions, it can also be said that there are three provinces currently owned by the Kuomintang. Needless to say, Xu Chongzhi of Fujian is one of the strongholds of the Kuomintang, and Tan Yanmin of Hunan is also a relatively hardcore element of the Kuomintang.

For Yan Shao, it was extremely important to clean up the Kuomintang's power on the mainland and to take these three provinces into his hands. And when these two are combined, Yan Shao naturally has no reason not to do it.

As for the strength of only one brigade in each province, whether the operation will go smoothly ...

This Yan Shao is really not worried, if it is said that if it is said that after waiting for another half a year, when the Japanese have trained the troops in Fujian and Guangdong, perhaps Yan Shao will be a little more cautious. But now...

According to the intelligence of the Special Affairs Bureau, the Japanese have begun to evacuate Guangdong and Fujian, and there are only a handful of Japanese instructors who are still there, and they are all left because of personal friendships, and even the Japanese have already abandoned the Kuomintang, so what does Yan Shao have to worry about.

————————————————————

After receiving Yan Shao's order, Xiao Yongyan immediately divided the troops from Fujian and Guangdong, and because of the wireless telegraphy relationship, he did not worry about the command problem. As for the brigade transferred from Wuhu, it set off for Hunan under the cover of the Anhui Naval Division, and this brigade had its own commander, so there was no need for Xiao Yongyan to worry about it.

"Governor, are you really not waiting for the results to come out?"

Seeing that the people in the manor were packing up, Wu Qianqiu stood aside and asked softly.

At this time, Xiao Yongyan had already commanded the troops to launch an offensive against Fujian and Guangdong, and the brigade transferred from Wuhu had also gone down the river under the escort of the Anhui naval division. According to Jiangxi's experience, it shouldn't take long for the whole war to end, so Wu Qianqiu was a little strange what Yan Shao was in such a hurry.

"Forget it. Don't wait..."Seeing that Eleno and Caterina were carefully storing some artworks, Yan Shao smiled and replied. "Time waits for no one, there are still many things for me to do..."

Yan Shao didn't think that Xiao Yongyan would have any accidents there. Even if it does, he can send reinforcements from other places. In addition, Yan Shao was also in a hurry to go north, after all, only by officially taking over the position from Yuan Shikai could he continue the layout behind, and for Yan Shao, this matter was much more important than clearing the Kuomintang.

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Wu Qianqiu didn't say anything more, but secretly prayed for Xiao Yongyan in his heart. Pray that he will not make any mistakes, after all, Yan Shao has high hopes for him, if something goes wrong with him—————— when he was in Anhui. The relationship between the two is still very good, and he doesn't want to see Xiao Yongyan slump from then on...

Yan Shaozhi didn't know what he thought, just watched the people pack up their things from the side.

After about two hours, some of the necessary things in the manor were finally packed.

When Yan Shao and his party walked out of the mansion. Looking back, I looked back at the place where I had lived for a long time. Yan Shao turned his head to Elano and said. "I'm afraid it's going to be hard to go back here in the future..."

After all, air transportation in this era has not yet developed, and the train is now only the Beijing-Hankou Railway from Beijing to Hankou, and even the Guangdong-Hankou Railway has not yet been completed, so it is very inconvenient to travel. In addition, there are a lot of things, and I am afraid that I may not have the opportunity to come back here once in a few years in the future.

"In that case, if you sell this place, you should be able to sell it for a good price..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, he looked back at the manor behind him. Ilano thought about it and proposed.

As a pillow person, she was very clear about the plan in Yan Shao's heart. Although Yan Shao now has a net worth of more than two billion. Even if he is not the richest man in the world, he is not much different from the old guy at Rockefeller.

The problem is that the plan in Yan Shao's heart is really too grandiose, and the amount of money to be spent is even more astronomical. Eleanor was already very pragmatic, and the manor really wouldn't come back a few times in the future, so he wondered whether to sell it altogether.

However, hearing her words, Yan Shao, who knew her thoughts, shook his head and smiled. "Forget it, even if you sell it, you won't sell much, so it's better to keep it as a souvenir, and maybe it will become a tourist attraction in the future..."

Saying that, Yan Shao beckoned Elano and them to leave together...

After getting into the car, Yan Shao, Elaline and the others quickly left the manor. Outside the manor, the 3,000-strong Guards Regiment had been waiting for a long time, and outside them were two infantry divisions that were originally stationed in the surrounding area, and there was also an infantry division along the way waiting for Yan Shao to go north to join them.

In other words, this time Yan Shao will go north under the protection of three infantry divisions plus a guard regiment and more than 50,000 people.

This level of protection may seem like a big deal to others, even ......... Distrust of the North Seas.

However, only Yan Shao and Elaline knew that this level of protection was not a big deal at all. After all, what they want to escort is extraordinary, of course, it's not about Yan Shao them here, but...

Rather, they were just a few large vaults that had just been taken out of the manor, in which more than two billion silver dollars worth of cash and large checks from major banks were stored...

More than 2 billion silver dollars, more than 200 million pounds, and Britain's annual fiscal revenue in 1913 was only 198 million pounds, while the United States at the same time was only 178.5 million pounds.

After all, there has never been a shortage of outlaws in this world, and more than two billion words......... It can even make many people not recognize their relatives...

Yan Shao also knew this because he never dared to reveal his net worth to the outside world, especially the fact that such a large sum of money has always been in the treasury.

Of course, Yan Shao has not considered the problem of batch delivery, but no matter how much it is batched, I am afraid that there will be a few hundred million ......... Pounds, right? Even if such a sum of money is not as tempting as the more than two billion, who dares to guarantee that the escort will not be tempted? So it's better to just bring it all at once, and under the escort of several divisions, Yan Shao doesn't have to worry about any accidents...

"However, such a large sum of money is really scary..."Through the car window, he glanced at several trucks on the side, and Yan Shao sighed to Elano and the others.

Hearing his words, Elaline and the others gave him a blank look. "Come on, don't show it out there..."

With a smile, Yan Shao touched his nose and didn't say anything more.

Perhaps knowing that Yan Shao was going north, and it was likely that he would not be able to return for a long time, the people of Anqing spontaneously stared at the distant convoy at the city gate. They have seen the changes in Anhui over the years, and it is naturally impossible not to be grateful to Yan Shao, who brought all this.

Of course, not every one of them is a grateful gaze, and many are full of hatred.

Just looked at the thousands of guards next to the convoy, and after thinking about the nearly 50,000 army officers and soldiers who were already waiting outside the city at this time, these people didn't dare to take a step after all...

At this time, if they dare to move, I am afraid that it will not only be a problem of the hornet's nest...

So they can only watch Yan Shao's departure, even if they have a deep hatred with Yan Shao, they can only do so...

At the same time, under the escort of tens of thousands of people, Yan Shao also began his journey north... (To be continued......)
