Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun, who is not afraid of anything, is not afraid of even the British.Duan Xun is also the border defense supervisor of the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, and his position is several levels higher than his own.Moreover, Duan Xun is Duan Qirui's relative and the closest direct descendant of Duan Qirui.What I am is nothing more than a collateral army that defected to Duan Qirui later.

This time Duan Xun brought tens of thousands of troops into Shaanxi, what Chen Shufan was most worried about was that Duan Xun would take this opportunity to occupy Shaanxi territory like Feng Jun and Zhensong Army.So Chen Shufan's mood is very complicated.It is not only looking forward to Duan Xun's troops entering Shaanxi, but also fearing that Duan Xun's troops will enter Shaanxi.

Under such a contradictory mood, Chen Shufan was able to show such hospitality. It cannot but be said that Chen Shufan's city is very deep.No wonder the revolutionary party in Shaanxi and those generals who were swordsmen all said that Chen Shufan was a chameleon with a sweet belly and sword.

"General Duan, please."

"Please."

The urban roads in Xi'an are not badly built, the roads are relatively flat, and the bumps of the carriage are not very severe.Duan Xun and Chen Shufan sat together, followed by Chen Shufan and Duan Xun's guards.

Duan Xun's people have already communicated with Chen Shufan.

Among Duan Xun's troops, apart from Sun Zhen's brigade who had already entered Xi'an, it was He Yaozu's Fourth Mixed Brigade who followed Duan Xun to Xi'an this time and entered Xi'an.The rest of the brigades were stationed outside the city.

When Duan Xun and Chen Shufan entered the city, the Fourth Mixed Brigade followed.

"Chen Dujun, I'm not very familiar with the situation of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army, but I just know a general idea. Later, you can give me a more detailed information about the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. By the way, Chen Dujun, where do you think we should go to destroy the Shaanxi Jingguo Army?" The troops begin."

"The first line of the Shanxi Yasukuni Army is Guo Jian's troops."

"Guo Jian, Guo Jian."

Since entering Shaanxi, Duan Xun has heard Guo Jian's name several times. In Shaanxi, Guo Jian is very famous.In fact, in Duan Xun's memory, there is really no life story of Guo Jian, and this person is really not well-known in later generations.Unless he is specifically studying the history of the Republic of China in Shaanxi, or the situation of the Yasukuni Army in Shaanxi, Guo Jian really doesn't often appear in history books.The only thing Duan Xun is familiar with with the name Guo Jian is that in history, when Feng Yuxiang entered Shaanxi to pacify the Shaanxi Jinguo Army, he shot and killed the Shaanxi army general Guo Jian.As for Guo Jian's specific matters, Duan Xun really doesn't know.

But for now, Guo Jian is very well-known in Shaanxi.

Whenever the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army is mentioned, the name Guo Jian cannot be avoided.Guo Jian is currently a famous general of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army who is as famous as Hu Jingyi.As the first commander of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army, Guo Jian has more than 5000 troops under his command, and he is also a strong force of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army.Moreover, Guo Jian's army was the army that fought the most times with Chen Shufan's army after the outbreak of the Shaanxi Dharma Protection War.

"Chen Dujun, do you mean to attack Guo Jian's troops first?"

"Yes, General Duan. Guo Jian was the first person in Shaanxi to respond to the Dharma protection movement. Guo Jian fought all the way from Fengxiang, once captured Tongguan, and later attacked Dali. In Qiangbai, he fought with our army. For more than 40 days, the troops are currently in Pucheng with Yang Hucheng's troops. Because he was the first to carry the banner of the Dharma War, he has a great influence in the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army. And Yang Hucheng who is with him now, I When the army attacked Guanshan, it was Yang Hucheng's frontal defense. With Guanshan's defense, Yang Hucheng also gained fame. If Guo Jian and Yang Hucheng's troops can be eliminated, the morale of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army will be greatly damaged, and it will have a huge impact on the encirclement and suppression of the Shaanxi Jinguo Army. benefits. And once Pucheng is captured, we can surround the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army from Pucheng.”

Chen Shufan gave Duan Xun an analysis.

In fact, Chen Shufan didn't mind who Duan Xun hit.Although the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army is alive and kicking and constantly disrupting the situation in Shaanxi, its real strength cannot be said to be very strong.Compared with the Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi troops that Duan Xun's troops fought in Hunan, they are much worse.

If Chen Shufan's Shaanxi Army, Xu Lanzhou's Feng Army, and Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army can work together, the Shaanxi Jingguo Army may not necessarily be an opponent.It's just that the relationship between the three forces is not harmonious, which makes the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army so powerful.Now that Duan Xun's army is entering Shaanxi, in fact, as long as they attack the Shaanxi Jingguo Army step by step, it will be very difficult for the Shaanxi Jinguo Army to stop them.

But Chen Shufan immediately said Guo Jian.

Because Chen Shufan has the most resentment towards Guo Jian.When Li Yuanhong appointed Li Gengen as the governor of Shaanxi, everyone in the Shaanxi army was honest, except for Guo Jian, who was dishonest.He even flirted with Li Genyuan, the governor of Shaanxi Province, whom he didn't like.After Li Genyuan had Guo Jian's support, he actually wanted to fight for power and profit with himself, he really didn't know what to do.

After the outbreak of the Law Protection War, Guo Jian was also the first to raise the anti-flag in Shaanxi.

Therefore, Chen Shufan was most angry with Guo Jian.

"Pucheng?"

Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "Governor Chen, send a telegram to Liu Zhenhua and ask him to come to Xi'an. Then we will discuss how to encircle and suppress Guo Jian's troops. I will send a brigade of troops to Weinan to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression of Guo Jian." troops."

Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army was in Tongzhou, just in time to confront Guo Jian's and Yang Hucheng's troops.That's why Duan Xun asked Liu Zhenhua to come to Xi'an to discuss how to attack Guo Jian's troops.Of course, this is just a high-sounding excuse.

Duan Xun wanted Liu Zhenhua to leave the army, and then let his army go to Weinan and Tongzhou.Taking advantage of Liu Zhenhua's absence, he took control of the Tongzhou area.

"This one……"

"how?"

"General Duan, I'm a little embarrassed to speak. Liu Zhenhua may not follow my order."

Chen Shufan expressed his position in embarrassment.

Since the rise of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army, Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army has not listened to Chen Shufan's words for a long time.It's just occupying territory in Tongzhou, robbing taxes, and expanding the army, completely forgetting Chen Shufan, the Shaanxi governor.

Of course, Chen Shufan's performance is also hoping to beat Liu Zhenhua with Duan Xun.

When Duan Xun heard Chen Shufan's words, he was "furious" and said: "He is so courageous. Chen Dujun is the Shaanxi Governor appointed by Prime Minister Duan himself, and he is guarding Shaanxi on behalf of Prime Minister Duan. At that time, when the Law Protection Movement was being suppressed, Duan Chen was the most reliable person of Prime Minister Duan, and he firmly supported Premier Duan. There's no reason for that."

Duan Xun immediately brought Duan Qirui with him to get closer to Chen Shufan.Tell Chen Shufan that both of you and I belong to Duan Qirui.Then he said angrily: "Just send a telegram to Liu Zhenhua and tell him what I meant. As the commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Army in Shaanxi Province, I ordered him to go to Xi'an to attend the military meeting. If he doesn't come, I will send someone first Suppress his troops and let him weigh them in. Moreover, Dujun Chen is the governor of Shaanxi. Liu Zhenhua's troops belong to Dujun Chen and must accept the command of Dujun Chen. This time he comes to Xi'an, I will definitely take care of him Hit him."

Duan Qirui looked like he was fighting against the enemy.

"Governor Chen."

"Yes."

"Sometimes you can't be too kind, especially to Liu Zhenhua. You have to remember that you represent Prime Minister Duan. Disobedient people like Liu Zhenhua should be dealt with properly. Let him understand the power of the governor."

"Yes."

Chen Shufan was overjoyed.

Some fears about Duan Xun before have been greatly reduced.Some of what Duan Xun said really made Chen Shufan listen.That's right, both of them belonged to Duan Qirui, and he himself was appointed by Duan Qirui, a legitimate military governor of Shaanxi.

Although the election of the new government, Duan Qirui resigned as Prime Minister.However, the "Anfu Department" controlled the Congress, and the Beijing government was still under the control of Duan Qirui.Although the newly appointed Xu Shichang has enough qualifications and reputation, he has no strength, and Beijing is still under the control of Duan Qirui.Although Duan Qirui doesn't know much about unity, he is quite good to those who rely on him and work hard for him.Since Chen Shufan took refuge in Duan Qirui two years ago, every time Duan Qirui had something to do, he would charge forward for him.

Duan Qirui should not treat him slowly.

As Duan Qirui's direct descendant, Duan Xun may have to share some power when he enters Shaanxi this time, but it will not be too much.Anyway, after cleaning up the Shaanxi Jingguo Army, Zhensong Army, and Xu Lanzhou's Feng Army, it is not impossible to give Duan Xun some sweets.

In particular, Duan Xun seems to like Hanzhong very much, and it is also possible to hand over Hanzhong to Duan Xun's people to rule.

As long as the position of his own Shaanxi warlord is stable, he can make money no matter what.

"Then I'll have to trouble Governor Chen a lot in the future. I'll be able to go back as soon as possible to calm down the little thieves of the Yasukuni Army in Shaanxi. Prime Minister Duan was worried that I would cause trouble in Sichuan, so he sent me to Shaanxi. I have a lot of people in Sichuan. things."

Duan Xun had just entered Shaanxi, so he was still quite respectful towards Chen Shufan.Moreover, he also told Chen Shufan indirectly that he had no ambitions for Shaanxi, so Chen Shufan could rest assured.Only when Chen Shufan slowly gave up his wariness against Duan Xun, could Duan Xun have a chance to control Shaanxi.

"By the way, Governor Chen. How did I hear that you captured Hu Jingyi from the Shanxi Yasukuni Army?"

"Yes."

"Great. I heard that Hu Jingyi seems to be well-known in Shaanxi, and he is also a famous general of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army."

"General Duan, it's all because of my lack of strict command of the army. I am very ashamed. During the National Defense Movement, this Hu Jingyi was my battalion commander. He captured Lu Jianzhang's son Lu Chengwu alive. After the National Defense Movement ended, I His subordinates served as regiment commanders. I didn’t expect to join the Shanxi Yasukuni Army this time.”

"It's okay, no one's troops will produce a few disobedient ones."

Duan Xun waved his hand, not paying attention at all.Then he said: "In two days, I want to meet this person and learn about the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. It would be great if I can subdue this person. Dujun Chen, please help me arrange it."

"Yes."

189 Hu Jingyi

"General Duan, this is where Commander Hu is."
