Jagged Warlord

42. Chen Shufan

Li Mohan looked at the map, closed his eyes and thought for a while, finally made up his mind, pointed to Xiaoyi County, and said, "I think what Kecheng and Chengxun said makes sense, so let's go to Xiaoyi."

Li Mohan's team is still several days away from Xiaoyi County, Bai Lang has already arrived one step ahead to take Xiaoyi, crossing the Qinling Mountains, approaching Hu County, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Xi'an.But Bai Lang's army went to Xi'an and headed westward, passing through Qindu and Pangcun Temple to Hu County.Along the way, there was a regiment of Yue Hanlin's infantry, four or five miles apart, waving flags and shouting, not daring to approach.And because there was no resistance from Hu County, Bai Lang's army entered calmly.

Bai Lang only stayed in Hu County for one day, and when he drove to Zhou Zhi early the next day, he took the opportunity to hide.Hu County is more than a hundred miles away from Zhouzhi, and there are no defensive troops along the way. In one day, Bailang's army arrived in mighty form.Teng Zhonghuang, the governor of Zhouzhi County, did not limit his power and strength, but only led his servants to supervise the merchants and people to guard the city.The mob suddenly heard the sound of the cannon, and dispersed in an uproar, hiding everywhere.Fearing accidents after entering the city, Bai Lang's army opened fire to demonstrate. Zhao Buxiao, the head of the county's finance bureau, was shot and killed, and dozens of people were killed or injured at the same time.

This series of incidents made Bai Lang very happy, and he issued a "Notice of the Chief Governor of the Central Plains Helping the Han Army", calling on the common people to unite to overthrow Yuan Shikai's dictatorial rule.

Li Mohan's master Liu Musheng also got a copy, so he read it to everyone at the military meeting: Qin Min has long been known as a strong military, but also understands changes in time and is passionate about patriotism.Now that traitors are in power, gangsters are in the way, the destruction of rivers and mountains, and the destruction of races are imminent.Indifference, like seeing Yue people as fat and barren, and not caring about them, should it be natural?Lang intends to unite the comrades of the state, and to write poems without clothes for each other, and to write with the same hatred.

That's why entering Wuguan, shaking Lantian, turning away from Shanyang, turning to Xiaoyi, and gaining a city, can be claimed but not; crossing the Qinling Mountains, stationed in Dayu, forcing Xianyang, is desirable but not.It is said that the major events in the world must be planned with the world's sages; the world's great name must be shared with the world's sages.Lang Li has not been caught, and he does not want to monopolize his merits. At the time of the trial, a man who is worried about the country, a hero in the mountains, forests, grasses, and marshes, instead of stopping farming and sighing, he will rise up. "Biography" said: "The defeat of the country is caused by officials and evil."

He also said: "Abusive government is urgently implemented, so it is defeated." What does it mean today?Lang hates his evil and fears his defeat, so he fought hard in Longmu, raised his righteousness for two years, and moved to the four provinces. The enemy has no strong soldiers, and the land has no strong cities.The tyranny was rampant and the guards rose, and the new mang usurped the throne and the long thick also did it.A man wants to fight against the past, Zhaoxiu comes here, you have talents, you have ambitions, and especially you value what you know because of what you are good at.Woohoo Qin Min!When is this time, you can be happy.Lang has nothing to look forward to.

After listening to the notice, Li Mohan laughed loudly and said: "In this notice, Bai Lang regards himself as Liu Bang, who made three chapters in the past, but unfortunately, Liu Bang made his foundation in Guanzhong, but Bai Lang only fled to Shaanxi. It’s just a transit. It must have been ghostwritten.”

Soon Li Mohan found that he was the only one laughing, and no one else was smiling, even the nervous Ma Qian'an.It's no wonder that since the SS army entered Shaanxi, they have been following behind Bai Lang's army as a follower. Up to now, they haven't even seen what Bai Lang's commander looks like. No wonder the morale is a little low.

Li Mohan himself was also very depressed, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't know much about the White Wolf Uprising in history. He only knew that Bai Lang went to Gansu after he entered Shaanxi, and then returned after being defeated in Gansu. He was beaten when he fled back to Henan. died.

"Travelers sometimes have black eyes." Li Mohan sighed. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again. He quickly spread out the map and searched carefully on it.

Everyone was taken aback by his startled behavior, Liu Musheng asked, "Master, what are you looking for?"

"Liquan~ Do you know that there is a place called Liquan? The polite ceremony, the spring of spring water." Li Mohan said without raising his head.Li Mohan vaguely remembered that Bai Lang suffered a defeat in a place called Liquan in Shaanxi, and then fled to Gansu.

Hu Chengxun interjected: "The humble official only knows that there is a place called Liquan. It's Li, not Li, and the pronunciation is the same."

"Liquan? Liquan?" Li Mohan suddenly realized that Liquan was called Liquan in the Republic of China. No wonder he couldn't find it on the map just now.

"Let's go to Liquan. Let's go tonight." Li Mohan punched heavily on the location of Liquan on the map.

*****************

Li means thin wine. If the spring water tastes like thin wine, it is called Liquan water, also known as sweet spring.In the Sui Dynasty, it got its name because there was a spring in the territory, which tasted as sweet as a spring, and there was Liquan Palace next to it.

By the time Li Mohan and his troops rushed to Liquan, someone had already arrived one step earlier.This person is none other than Chen Shufan.

Chen Shufan, courtesy name Baisheng, was born in Ankang, Shaanxi Province in the 11th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty in a family of silk merchants. He entered Shaanxi Army Primary School in 1905, and was sent to Baoding Army Crash School in the second year to study artillery. After graduating and returning to Shaanxi in 1910, he was assigned to the No.30 Ninth Mixed Artillery Battalion of the Shaanxi Army as a platoon leader, and was soon transferred to an ordnance officer. On October 1911, 10, he participated in the Xi'an Uprising.After the founding of the Republic of China, he served as the commander of the fourth independent mixed brigade.

On the eve of the Xi'an Uprising, Jing Wumu, the head of the Shaanxi branch of the Tongmenghui, had a secret meeting with Chen Shufan to persuade him to join the revolutionary camp.At this time, Chen Shufan realized that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, and joining the League would be beneficial to him, so he agreed to join the League.

Until Lu Jianzhang supervised Shaanxi and wanted to reorganize and annex the Shaanxi army. Faced with this situation, Chen Shufan immediately took the helm and sent a batch of high-quality tobacco and antique jewelry to Lu Jianzhang and his son Lu Chengwu, and sworn brothers with Lu Chengwu.In this way, the two divisions and three brigades in Shaanxi were successively reduced and annexed, but Chen Shufan's fourth brigade was preserved.

Chen Shufan's attachment to Lu Jianzhang caused strong dissatisfaction and accusations from Shaanxi revolutionaries. While defending himself, Chen Shufan secretly took in some laid-off KMT officers and soldiers and covered some KMT figures who were hunted down by Lu Jianzhang, and gradually gained the understanding of the KMT figures. .However, in this way, Chen Shufan was suspected by Lu Jianzhang again. Lu Jianzhang secretly ordered Chen Shufan to arrest the anti-land elements in the army. Dissatisfied, there is nothing to do for a while.

In short, Chen Shufan can be regarded as a tumbler in the political arena.Chen Shufan is the brigade commander of the major general, and Li Mohan is only the commander of the colonel, so he has to take the initiative to visit Chen Shufan.

Li Mohan took a small yellow croaker from Liu Musheng, and secretly copied it with a counterfeit machine. One small yellow croaker became ten small yellow croakers.Then he found another tray, covered it with a red cloth, and went into the county with Liu Musheng to pay a visit to Chen Shufan.

Chen Shufan's appearance is ordinary, not one-tenth of Li Mohan's, but he is also tall and burly, and he is not angry and arrogant in military uniform.So when he met Li Mohan for the first time, he only felt that Li Mohan was a little boy.When Li Mohan asked Liu Musheng to present the heavy gift, Chen Shufan immediately smiled.

"Brother Mohan, I'm the host and you're the guest. You're so polite, it's outrageous." Chen Shufan immediately had a good impression of Li Mohan.

Li Mohan also smiled and said, "What I'm saying is that I'm not familiar with the place when I came to Shaanxi, and my eyes are darkened. I need to ask Brigadier Chen to take care of me in the future."

Chen Shufan laughed loudly, and said: "Brother Mohan, I already called you brother, but you still call me Brigadier Chen, it's too outlandish. How about this, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Baisheng. "
