Jagged Warlord

Tian Wenlie, whose name is Huanting, graduated from the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy in his early years, and he and Duan Qirui are also old acquaintances.Looking at Duan Qirui with a sad and haggard expression, Tian Wenlie suddenly felt that there was a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Zhiquan, thank you for your hard work." Tian Wenlie comforted Duan Qirui, "The old man transferred you back for another purpose, not to reprimand you."

Duan Qirui smiled wryly, and replied: "Actually, I, Duan Qirui, have done my best and have a clear conscience. However, people from all walks of life only want to protect themselves and claim credit. Huanting, I've lost my pick, and you still have work to do."

Tian Wenlie also smiled wryly, and said: "So, this time, the old man sent Lu Jianzhang, Zhang Jingyao and other Beiyang direct descendants to listen and use them. In addition, there is also Yijun Zhao Ti."

"Yi Jun?" Duan Qirui said: "They are poor now, and they really want to make meritorious service and be rewarded, maybe they will work harder."

Tian Wenlie nodded, "I hope so. By the way, Zhiquan, I heard that there is a new SS in the Ministry of War. Did you send someone to investigate the achievements of the commander Li Mohan?"

"There is such a thing." Duan Qirui pointed to Adjutant Zhao beside him, and said, "Xiao Zhao went."

Adjutant Zhao immediately stood at attention and saluted Tian Wenlie, "It's a humble job to investigate."

Tian Wenlie smiled and stopped asking further questions.

From Tian Wenlie's point of view, Li Mohan's [-] people can be ignored at all, so Tian Wenlie's battle plan is: Zhao Ti's troops will go west from Jinghan Road, Zhang Jingyao's troops will go north from the Han River, Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong army will go south, and the Shaanxi army will deploy to defend Shangluo. Zhang Peng left Sichuan and returned to southern Shaanxi to encircle and suppress Bailang.The plan was thoughtful, but Li Mohan was ignored.

Facts have proved that changing generals did not do anything to White Wolf.

At the beginning of 1914, the Bailang Army successively broke through the counties of Guangshan, Huangchuan, Shangcheng, Huoshan, and Lu'an, and immediately moved between Huoshan and Lu'an, with 7000 troops.Successfully broke through the siege of the 20 Beiyang army, and marched from southern Henan to northern Hubei.Going westward through Yingshan and Suixian County, it approaches Laohekou.

There is a regiment of the Beiyang Army stationed at Laohekou (two battalions are missing). The regiment leader Zhao Ronghua likes to gamble and ignores the military situation.After learning the information, he sent Battalion Commander Dou to lead his troops to block and suppress. With the cooperation of the plainclothes team that sneaked in first, the Bailang Army attacked from the Huacheng Gate and the large and small east gates. Long was killed.When the army entered the city, Zhao Ronghua escaped alone.Bai Lang's army entered the city shouting the slogan "strike the rich and help the poor", confiscated some big businesses and banks, and scattered coins and clothes on the streets for the poor to pick up.The Bailang army killed the Norwegian priest Ferrand and wounded the priest Shama.The property of some foreign priests and foreign merchants was confiscated.Bai Lang's army soon withdrew from Laohekou and entered Xichuan, Henan.

Because Bai Lang killed the Norwegian priest Ferrand and wounded the priest Sha Ma, the so-called "Hekou Mission Case" was triggered. For a while, Western powers tried to pressure Yuan Shikai.Yuan Shikai had no choice but to scold Tian Wenlie severely. Tian Wenlie's pressure was as great as a mountain. At this time, he deeply realized why Duan Qirui became haggard after sitting in this position for a short time.

Judging from the Beiyang Air Force's aerial reconnaissance intelligence, Bai Lang was probably going west to Shaanxi.Right now, the two teams closest to Bai Lang are Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army and Zhao Ti's Yi Army.Liu Zhenhua was very tactful, he obeyed Tian Wenlie's order and acted slowly.Zhao Ti worked very hard, he chased Bai Lang wherever he went.

When Li Mohan sent the telegram to Xinyang Xingyuan, Tian Wenlie was furious, "You brat, you want to go to war, right? Then I will fight for you." Tian Wenlie wrote a telegram in his own hand and asked the telegraph soldier to send it out immediately. He ordered the commander of the SS Li Mohan to enter Shanxi immediately to intercept Bai Lang.

The ceremonies of the ancient army going out were very complicated, but now it is much simpler.Since Li Mohan's SS army had a large number of locals from Jiaozuo and even Qinyang, many of their relatives and friends came to see him off. For a while, the gongs, drums and firecrackers blared, and the scene was very lively.

Mayor Liu, as the local mayor of Jiaozuo, and his precious nephew serving in the army, he must come.Mayor Liu made an impassioned statement on behalf of the town government, nothing more than making contributions, glorifying the lintel, and winning honor for the people of his hometown.

Most of the soldiers had their parents, relatives and friends to see them off, even Ma Qian'an was seen off.It was a very fair young woman, and I don't know when Ma Qian'an hooked up with her.With tears in her eyes, the young woman reluctantly gave Ma Qian'an a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks, while Ma Qian'an patted the back of her head heartlessly and smirked.

"Hey~!" Li Mohan, who has no family or reason in this world, can only envy her.

"Before I leave, I am afraid that I will return later." At this time, Liu Musheng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. After saying this, he also sighed. He didn't know whether he was sighing to himself or to others.

Liu Musheng's sour poem made Li Mohan even more unhappy.

"Let's go." Li Mohan, who was envious and jealous, could only quickly order to set off, so as not to make his nose hurt when he saw it again.

There are about 500 actual combatants in the SS Army, but there are more than 100 people in the logistics battalion.Among them are cooks, grooms, porters, laundry workers, mechanics who repair guns, and even teachers in charge of cultural education.

Every time the SS troops stationed in a place, even if they only stayed for one night, they had to set up camp.Things like setting up tents can be done by skilled civil workers, and combatants only need a little assistance.Most of the time, they just need to be armed and guarded around.

Li Mohan set up a strict sanitation system for the SS. There were removable canteens, latrines, and bathrooms in the camp. Soldiers had to wash their hands before meals and after defecation, were not allowed to defecate anywhere, and had to shower and shave regularly.There is no need to wash the dirty clothes and used tableware by yourself. Naturally, there will be laundrymen and cooks to deal with them.

Many soldiers from poor families often say: This is not a soldier, it is a young master.Many soldiers who were thin when they first joined the army are now fat and strong.

Although it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the sun is already a bit hot, and the black uniform absorbs heat, which makes people unable to lift their spirits.Even the mules and horses pulling the cart are weak. No matter how loud the whip is, the wheels of the cart will still roll forward slowly.

Li Mohan lay on his back on a wagon pulling hay, covering his face with a straw hat.The brigade is currently walking on the road leading to Yuanqu, Shanxi. This area is full of mountain roads, sandwiched between Wangwu Mountain.People say that the road to Shu is difficult, but this mountain road is also difficult to walk.

"Si De, where have we been?" Li Mohan lifted the straw hat slightly, and the dazzling sunlight immediately blinded him, so he hurriedly put the straw hat on his face again.

Guo Side is Li Mohan's orderly. Hearing Li Mohan calling him, he trotted a few steps to the side of the carriage, "Report, we are almost at Qiushugou."

"Where is Qiushugou?" Li Mohan didn't have a GPS in his head, so he had no idea of ​​the location of the place name Qiushugou.

Guo Side is from Qinghua Town, so naturally he doesn't know the exact location of Qiushugou. He only knew the place name after asking a passing local just now.
