Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The war in Luzhou is still tense, but now that the war has begun, the situation has begun to become more subtle.  The Beiyang army did not cooperate well, and Zhang Jingyao, Cao Kun and other Beiyang direct lineages withdrew their main forces one after another, making Xu Wei realize that the battle situation may have changed that he was unaware of.

    At this time, Yuan Shikai was betrayed by his relatives, and not only his father-in-law, but also Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other Beiyang heroes were also alienated from him.

    Feeling that the Beiyang Army in the rear had no intention of fighting again, Xu Wei was ready to withdraw from Lantianba at any time in order to preserve his strength.

    The situation in Sichuan is complicated and confusing. To protect the enemy, the Beiyang Army has been fighting intermittently.  However, a telegram was sent from Chengdu, making the situation in Sichuan suddenly clear.

    "Brigade, Brigade, something bad has happened!" Tian Zerong ran to Xiong Xiangsheng's brigade headquarters in Luzhou in panic.

    Xiong Xiangsheng was displeased and said, "What's the matter? You're in a hurry."

    Tian Zerong said, "Chen Governor-General announced the revolution in Chengdu and persuaded the president to abandon the imperial system and restore the republic."

    "What? Governor Chen announced a coup?" Xiong Xiangsheng's hair all over his body stood up. He was a direct descendant of Chen Huan. Zhou Jun was a Beiyang sect, and his subordinates Xu Wei and Liu Xiang were all Zhou Jun's old subordinates. Before Chen Huan,  He led three mixed brigades into Chongqing and defeated Zhou Jun. Now that the camp is different, Zhou Jun still needs to see Chen Huan's face?

    "Moreover, Chen Huan changed camps, and Liu Cunhou was also a protector. At this time, Zhou Jun was the only one in Sichuan who had the strength and qualifications to serve as the governor of Sichuan.  In order to maintain the situation in Sichuan at this time, the central government may have no extra choice.  At this time, even if Zhou Jun captured him for collaborating with the enemy, others would have nothing to say.

    "Zerong, prepare your horses quickly, I want to rush to Chengdu immediately." In the entire Sichuan, only Chen Huan could be his protective umbrella at this time.  Xiong Xiangsheng didn't want to stay in Luzhou for a moment longer.

    The situation changed drastically, Xiong Xiangsheng fled to Chengdu, and the 29th Brigade was suddenly leaderless.

    Xu Wei and Liu Xiang learned of this incident almost at the same time. Xiong Xiangsheng fled and Zhang Jingyao was about to retreat. Whoever can stabilize the situation in Luzhou at this time will most likely fall to the vacant brigade commander position.

    "Assist the country, abandon Lantianba, and withdraw the entire army to Luzhou." Xu Wei received the news from Luzhou City and immediately made a decision, "Zhang Jing, you follow me first."

    "Don't worry, regiment, I will bring the army back to Luzhou City safely." Xu Shaozeng nodded.

    "Yes, Tuanzuo!" Zhang Jing was so excited that his whole body trembled, "Xiong Xiangsheng is an eggless thing, Tuanzuo must be the brigade commander this time."

    As soon as Zhang Jing finished speaking, Xu Shaozeng, Ding Dafu, Zhou Wu and others also looked happy.

    "You haven't even written your horoscope yet, don't be too happy too early." Xu Wei smiled slightly and changed his tone again, "But whoever dares to compete with me in Luzhou City, I will give him a good look. Let's go!"

    The river was surging, and the guards rowed several wooden boats to the other side of the river.

    "Drive, drive" Horse hooves came in formation.

    "Who is under the city!"

    "The 15th Central Division, the 29th Brigade, the 58th Regiment Xu Wei! Open the city gate quickly!" Xu Wei said loudly.

    "This is Captain Xu, hurry up, open the city gate." Wang Xiu, who had been looking at the city gate for a long time, was overjoyed and clapped his hands on the city wall.

    "Brother Xu, you are finally back." Wang Xiusheng ran down the city wall to meet Xu Wei's guard company.

    "Brother Yucheng, I will never thank you for your kindness. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the hardships!" Xu Wei laughed loudly.  "Enter the city!"

    During this period, although there was a fierce fighting outside Luzhou City, the war did not spread to the city. Hundreds of people marched in at a high speed, and the people in the city gave way. It was not clear what happened, so these soldiers  They are so impatient.

    "Xu" Xu Wei turned over and dismounted.

    Before Xu Wei could dismount, there was another frenzied sound of horse hooves. Among the dozens of cavalry, Liu Xiang took the lead. Apparently, he had also received the news here.

    Zhang Jing and others looked at Liu Xiang warily.

    "Brother Fucheng came just in time. Chen Huan announced the coup in Chengdu, and the brigade commander is missing. Now the brigade is leaderless, and the security guards are watching. We should make a plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the security guards call, everyone will be in trouble.  It's all over." When Xu Wei saw Liu Xiang, he smiled without any surprise on his face.

    "Brother Xu is right, that's exactly what it should be." Liu Xiang nodded.

    When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, Wen Zexian and other staff officers were already waiting there.

    "Brother Zhi Ming, Brother Ruchen, I have kept you waiting for a long time." Xu Wei bowed his hands to Wen Zexian and others.

    "Brother Xu, you are finally here."

    Liu Xiang's heart sank when he saw the brigade's staff officers, the commander of the artillery battalion directly under the brigade, and others greeting Xu Wei one after another.

    "No more gossip, I just asked people to go to the hotel."After asking about it, I found out that the hostess had already sneaked to Chengdu to join Chen Huan.  Now the guards are watching from across the river. Zhang Jingyao and others are retreating to Chongqing one after another. However, we have not received the order to retreat. A snake can't survive without a head. I think it is better for everyone to elect someone to act as brigade commander and hold on for the first time.  After this period of time, what do you think?  "Wang Xiu Sheng said.

    "Of course it should be like this. Brigadier Xiong defected to Chen Huan. When the central government appointed a new brigade commander, all the escorts went to Beijing. In my opinion, Captain Xu has great military exploits and is the highest military commander here, so it is better to let him  Commander Xu temporarily acts as the brigade commander." Chen Wanren, commander of the brigade's artillery battalion, said.

    "Yes, in the past few battles with the escort, Commander Xu defeated the enemy several times, and also won praise from the president. The temporary brigade commander is worthy of his name."

    "Nonsense, why should Xu Weilai temporarily act as brigade commander? Our regiment commander is not bad. If you want me to see, I have to" Before Chen Guodong could finish speaking, Liu Xiang had already interrupted his subordinate Chen Guodong, "Since Commander Xu is so popular,  , then Commander Xu will lead our 29th Brigade."

    "Team seats!"

    Liu Xiang glanced over, and Chen Guodong swallowed the words on his lips.

    "Okay, I also want to be the acting brigade commander. Soldiers should be straightforward. It would be too hypocritical to refuse." Xu Weidao, "Wang Congyun!"

    "have!"

    "Go to the telegraph room and send a telegram to the garrison, saying that Chen Huan has rebelled and Xiong Xiangsheng has absconded. Please ask the garrison to enter Chengdu as soon as possible to take charge of Sichuan's overall situation. The 29th Brigade will fully support the garrison's actions in Chengdu!" Xu Weidao  .  The original powerful factions in Sichuan were Liu Cunhou, Chen Huan, Xiong Kewu, and Zhou Jun.  Xiong Kewu's Old Fifth Division was already a thing of the past, and at this time it was not very powerful in the Guard Corps. Liu Cunhou and Chen Huan had all joined the Guard Corps. At this time, only Zhou Jun was most likely to take charge of Chengdu.

    "Yes, brigade commander!" Wang Congyun was overjoyed. Although he was the temporary brigade commander, he was very likely to be corrected.

    "Commander, why didn't you compete with Xu Wei just now? This great opportunity was lost in vain." After leaving the brigade, Chen Guodong beat his chest and said.

    "The brigade staff, military affairs assistant, and artillery battalion have all sided with Xu Wei, how can we fight with Xu Wei?" Liu Xiang told a cold fact.  Taking the first step, Xu Wei received a large reward for seizing Liu Cunhou's army in Luzhou, and got closer to some people in the brigade.  At this time, except for his own troops, almost everyone came to Xu Wei's side.  Let Liu Xiang be indisputable.
