Beiyang reactionaries

Cao Kun didn't get angry when Wu Peifu entered the house so casually, he was very calm.

Seeing Cao Kun like this, Zhang Zuolin was suddenly in awe of Cao Kun.Wu Peifu's unreasonable actions would make any high-ranking person unhappy.The same is true for Zhang Zuolin.

As Zhang Zuolin's status became higher and higher, even Zhang Zuolin's brothers who worshiped him back then would not be so casual, let alone a subordinate.But Cao Kun was able to be so magnanimous. It is not accidental that Cao Kun was able to succeed just because of his ability to tolerate people.

"Mr. Cao, there is no problem on the front line, but something big has happened in Henan and Hunan."

After Wu Peifu entered the room, he ignored Zhang Zuolin.Talk to Cao Kun directly.

"what happened?"

"Just four hours ago, Shang Zhen from Duan Xun's department led three divisions to attack Zhao Ti's troops in Luoyang."

"The results of it?"

"The specific situation is not clear, but Zhao Ti's troops suffered heavy losses. According to the information we have now, Zhao Ti's third brother, Zhao Jie, the commander of the Henan Army's First Division, and Zhao Ti's general, Henan Army's second division commander, Bao De, all fought. He died there. Zhao Ti fled south with the remnants of the defeated general."

The faces of Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin became serious.

Zhao Ti lost?

Zhao Jie and Bao De were all important generals under Zhao Ti, and they all died in battle.It must have been such a fierce battle that both of Zhao Tizhong's generals were killed.But it shouldn't either.Although Zhao Ti didn't have many troops, he still had about 2 troops.

How could there be such a disastrous situation.

"Where's Wu Guangxin's troops?"

"The Henan Army Garrison Brigade and the Henan Army's Fourth Mixed Brigade announced in Zhengzhou and Kaifeng that they had accepted Duan Xun's orders. As for the Henan Army's First Mixed Brigade, Second Mixed Brigade, and Third Mixed Brigade, when the situation was unfavorable, they collapsed directly. Some troops even defected directly."

Zhao Ti had just reorganized their troops, how could they work hard for Zhao Ti.When attacked, they immediately collapsed, and even went to Shang Zhen's troops directly.

"Where is No. 20 division?"

"Escaped from Shangqiu, entered Jiangsu, and was recruited by Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu."

Damn.

Henan is lost.

The No.20 division was incorporated by Li Chun.Li Chun controls Jiangsu, a wealthy province, and is already a very powerful person in the Zhili lineage.But in this direct Anhui war, they did not come out to help at all.Now take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the No.20 division, and its strength has increased a lot.

It is very unfavorable for both Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin.

"What about Hunan?"

"Zhang Jingyao just received a telegram, saying that he is in poor health and cannot continue to be in charge of Hunan affairs. However, Liu Mingzhao, who was appointed by Duan Hefei to guard Changli, has already entered Changsha with his troops."

"That won't work."

Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin made a judgment in an instant.

The two finally cooperated to drive away Duan Qirui and ended the rule of the Anhui Clan.How could they allow another person like Duan Qirui to appear in the Anhui Department.When the Zhiwan War broke out, Duan Xun inserted his hands into the provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Henan, and Guangxi in a short period of time.

Power soared.

This cannot be tolerated.

So Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin shook their heads instantly.

"It seems that we are going to meet Mr. Xu."

232 Lu Rongting's Choice

"Marshal, you have to make a decision? Either Guangzhou or Guangxi. We can't fight on both sides."

The good news from the north continued, Duan Qirui had already announced his resignation, and the Zhiwan War ended with Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin's complete victory.Although there are still sporadic resistance in the Gyeonggi area, and Shandong, which is close at hand, is still in the hands of Zhang Shuyuan, the governor of the Anhui Faction, but there is no doubt that the Zhili and Feng Factions won the Zhiwan War.This should be good news, or rather it should be very good news.

Back then, Lu Rongting chose to cooperate with Wu Peifu, which was definitely the wisest choice.Because Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, whom everyone was not optimistic about, really won and kicked out the arrogant Duan Qirui.

But so what?

As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

So what if Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin won?So what if they are about to take control of the Beijing government?Beijing, Zhili, and Northeast China are one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Guangdong. Even if they are really allies of Lu Rongting, they will not be able to provide any substantial support to Guangdong in a short period of time.Originally, when the big tree Duan Qirui fell, the warlords of the Anhui faction should all be terrified, and each of them should be walking on thin ice.

In fact, it really started like this.Xu Shuzheng ran away, Wu Guangxin ran away, Zhang Jingyao ran away, Zhang Shuyuan immediately showed his kindness to Cao Kun and the others, Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Guangjian, and Ni Sichong all immediately turned into shrinking turtles, and did not want to confront Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin who were currently in full swing .

But there are people who are not afraid of anything.

Duan Xun stood up.

Look at Duan Xun's performance after the defeat of Duan Qirui's elite troops.

As if they were not affected at all, batch after batch of troops entered Guangxi.Wang Tianpei's Temporary Fourth Division has already entered Nanning, followed by the Southwest Frontier Army's Ninth Division, the Central No.30 Fourth Division, and the Southwest Frontier Army's First Division. Division, so many troops poured into Guangxi.Moreover, the Fourth Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, the Independent First Brigade, the Independent Second Brigade, and the Independent Third Brigade of the First Army also began to press on Guangxi.These troops not only occupied one place after another, but after the troops began to gather, they headed towards Guiping.

He made a gesture of going to a decisive battle with the Guangxi troops.

Of course, Lu Rongting's headache is definitely not just Duan Xun's troops.

What troubled Lu Rongting the most was Guangdong, or the war in the Chaoshan area.Originally, Lu Rongting's idea was to quickly deal with the Cantonese army, and it took about ten days and a half to destroy the Cantonese army.When the encirclement and suppression of the Cantonese army was successful, the troops turned around to resist Duan Xun.

But plans never change fast.

Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang army, Fang Shengtao, and Zhu Peide's Yunnan army, who had been neutral before, suddenly joined the battlefield and joined forces with the Guangdong army to attack Lu Rongting's army.Moreover, news of the successive fall of Guilin, Nanning, and Liuzhou, the important towns in Guangxi, could not be concealed from the frontline troops at all.

Lu Rongting overestimated the endurance of his troops and underestimated these people's worries about their hometown.Lu Rongting's troops currently on the front line, although they all have the designations of the Guangdong Army, a large number of them are from the Guangxi troops. It should be said that there are many Guangxi people in them.Lu Rongting dispatched officers from Guangxi to join the Guangdong army to take control of the army.

This is a typical Guangxi army leading Guangdong.

How could these people not be affected when they heard that their hometown Guangxi was taken over by Duan Xun.In addition, the Zhejiang Army and the Yunnan Army suddenly joined the battlefield, and the troops on the front line of Rongting inland suffered heavy losses within two days.In particular, Liu Zhilu's Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army was originally a remnant and defeated general. It was flanked by the Yunnan Army and almost wiped out.

The smartest one is Shen Hongying.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately ran away with his Third Army of the Guangdong Army.And regarding how to preserve strength and how to choose an escape route, Shen Hongying definitely has first-class skills.In the end, Shen Hongying was able to take nearly 4000 troops to Shaozhou.

Mazi is also good.

Ma Ji originally asked Shen Hongying and Lin Hu to hold back the troops, and retreated first by himself.But who is Shen Hongying, why would she work hard for Ma Ji.Ma Ji ran away, and of course he followed suit.

Only Lin Hu.

Thanks to Lu Rongting's respect for him, he knew it would be difficult to stay and fight, but after Shen Hongying also ran away, he stayed to block the troops of the Cantonese, Zhejiang, and Dian troops.

Great.

I dare not say that becoming famous in the first battle is definitely a sensation in Guangdong.

Under the situation that Jiexi was being attacked from three sides by the Cantonese Army, the Zhejiang Army, and the Yunnan Army, Lin Hu led his troops to resist for more than two days, and then retreated calmly.Lin Hu's ability made everyone admire him.
