his robbery

Chapter 159

Huo Xiangzhen attacked Shijiazhuang with the momentum of breaking bamboo, and seized a lot of food and weapons from the defenders along the way, which solved the famine problem along the way.However, when Huo Jun was in a desperate situation, news suddenly came from Shanxi, saying that the company's army had caused internal strife.

Huo Xiangzhen was startled, secretly thinking something was wrong.But there was no turning back when the bow was opened, and all the power-ups to challenge Jiang had been sent out, so where was there room for change?So he made up his mind to organize the team, he ignored Lian Yi, and went straight to Baoding on his own.

Lian Yi didn't expect that he would be trapped in Changzhi County by his own soldiers.

He has been in charge of soldiers all his life, he has experienced all kinds of junctures, and he has been on guard against them even if he has not experienced them, but today, this situation is something he never even thought about - Li Ziming actually pointed a gun at his head !

At the same time, all other old things in the headquarters were also disarmed.At the other end of the county, the army commander's faction headed by the chief of staff was fighting fiercely with the young men's faction headed by Li Zirui.The two factions of soldiers grabbed their strongholds and fired at each other.Li Ziming has been very capable of managing things in the past two years, and he has held many connections and power both openly and secretly.And after he sent the telegram to the Nanjing government, the chairman of Shanxi Province secretly got in touch with him, willing to support him to replace Lian Yi.

For Li Ziming, replacing Lian Yi is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to keep Lian Yi in Shanxi, don't let him go to Hebei to play rebellion with Huo Xiangzhen.Today, he had planned for a long time and suddenly launched an attack.When the muzzle of the gun touched Lian Yi's temple, Lian Yi was about to step out of the door, holding a military cap in his hand and trying to put it on his head.

There was a sudden chill at the temple, which made Lian Yi stiffen in an instant.Then he slowly turned his head to Li Ziming, he stared in disbelief, and asked sternly, "What are you doing?"

Li Ziming's hands were steady, and his expression was hard. His whole body seemed to be made of iron: "It's nothing, I just want you to go back with me."

Lian Yi glared at Li Ziming - the boy he raised, he knew best.Li Ziming was born with ruthlessness, really a bit of a wolf.Dare to be clear to himself today, it can be seen that he must have made countless preparations in advance.

At this moment, a group of soldiers poured in from outside, and cut Lian Yi's arms in a hurry.Another hand touched his waist and pulled out his pistol.Lian Yi turned pale with anger, and when he touched Li Ziming's muzzle with his head, his lips trembled: "Shoot! Fucking wolf cub! Shoot if you have the ability!"

Li Ziming slowly put down the pistol, and the muzzle of the gun made a red streak between Lian Yi's eyebrows.Raising his hand and rubbing the red mark with his thumb, Li Ziming immediately waved his hand expressionlessly: "Take it away!"

The little soldiers escorted Lian Yi out like wolves and tigers.Li Ziming turned around and stood at the door, silently staring at Lian Yi's back, and at the same time sniffing his thumb.There is a scent of cream on the thumb. This old guy is really crazy. He doesn't know whether he is a man or a woman, old or young.He's over half a century old, and he's still wishing to conquer the world, so he's not afraid to spare his old life!

Li Ziming thought again that when he saw Lian Yi for the first time, Lian Yi was still very young, very handsome and very elegant.

The fierce fighting in Changzhi County lasted for two days and two nights. On the third day, the chief of staff was afraid that Li Ziming would kill Lian Yi, so he set up a white flag and stopped fighting.

With a white flag and a tree, the soldiers in both platoons were very happy--they had already eaten their fill on the way out this time, and the weather was so cold and the uniforms were thin, so they really wanted to go to Hebei to fight. To say this is cold is enough to suffer.Now being able to return to Jincheng for the winter is naturally better than anything else.Seeing this, the rest of the military leaders who accompanied them secretly rejoiced that they came in a low-key manner, and now they can secretly go back to everyone.Feng Lao, who is strong and strong, doesn't fight anymore, so what else do they fight?Let's just mix it up from day to day!When Huo Xiangzhen really made a name for himself in Hebei, it wouldn't be too late for him to rush there and attach himself.

At this point, within ten days after the one hundred thousand army set off, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Bai Mani was left at Jincheng's home by Lian Yi. At first, he watched Lian Yi lead the soldiers away inexplicably, and now he watched Lian Yi being brought back by the soldiers inexplicably.Holding the wall to meet Lian Yi, he first looked carefully at Lian Yi's face, and then looked back: "Where's Zi Ming?"

Seeing Lian Yi's expression as a dark cloud, he thought that something happened to Li Ziming halfway, so he first asked the people he cared about most.And Lian Yi went around him, walked to the edge of the Kang and sat down, then looked up out of the window.A line of guards stood outside the window, just to watch over him.

Bai Mani looked out following his gaze, looked at him, and suddenly stumbled to his side, bent down and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Lian Yi replied softly, "Zi Ming rebelled."

Then he shook his head: "I've been hunting hawks all my life, and today the hawks pecked out my eyes."

Bai Mani thought for a while, then supported Lian Yi's shoulder and asked, "What are you doing this trip?"

Lian Yi raised his hand to help him sit next to him, and then answered irrelevantly and said to himself: "Don't be afraid, no matter how heartless he is, he won't be able to shoot me. If there is a way for me to survive, there will be a way for you to survive. In Tianjin, I have plenty of money, even if I don’t lead soldiers, it’s still enough for retirement.”

Bai Mani stared at him, didn't say anything for a while, and at the same time, he thought vaguely in his heart: "Has he lost his power?"

Calmly withdrawing his gaze, Bai Mani realized more and more that he was not mistaken - he was indeed no match for a military commander with a heavy army in his hands, but he might not be a match for a Yugong who had disarmed and returned to the field!

"Then..." Bai Mani hesitated and said, "Shall we go back to Tianjin?"

After the words fell, the door of the outer room opened, and Li Ziming walked in with a chill in his body.As always, he was outside coughing, stomping, undressing, and drinking hot water.After a very lonely and busy time, he lifted the curtain and entered the back room.

With one hand in his trouser pocket, he stood in front of Lian Yi, raised his hand to gag and cleared his throat, and said, "The Nanjing government agreed to give us an additional 10 yuan in military pay in the next month."

If the military pay is increased, the troops will also have to be cut.The team of an army is cut into the size of a division.Li Ziming reported good news but not bad news, he only said what was good, not what was wrong.However, even if he didn't say it, Lian Yi could guess it.Huo Ran stood up to face Li Ziming. Lian Yi was now unarmed and a head shorter than Li Ziming, so the only attack he could do was to slap him with a thunderous slap!

Li Ziming's face was turned aside by him, and then he raised his hand to grab his wrist, and shoved him into Bai Mani's arms.Looking up at Bai Mani, he said calmly, "You persuade him."

Lian Yi does not need to be persuaded.After Li Ziming left, he climbed into the kang by himself, grabbed the cigarette tray and started to burn the cigarette.Bai Mani moved to the opposite side of him, and saw that his whole body was like a reflection on the water, trembling to the point of breaking.He is a sharpshooter, and his hands have always been the most stable, but now he can't even hold the cigarette stick. A lump of smoke paste is picked up on the tip of the stick, and it sways left and right on the flames, burning drippingly and turning into smoke.

From this day on, Lian Yi closed the door and lived only with opium and Bai Mani every day.Li Ziming now has a backer. After seizing power, he cleaned up his team first. The old guys left as fast as they could. He is still the commander of the army in name, but Li Ziming has completely eliminated him.

After New Year's Day, Huo Xiangzhen's army alone invaded Baoding. They entered, but they could not completely occupy Baoding, because the main force of the Northeast Army came over, and Huo Xiangzhen's side temporarily became divided into two groups——Shanxi Lian Yi did not come, but the chairman of Shanxi Province came with the Central Army.Xue Bing had no choice but to take the two divisions to turn a corner halfway to resist the sudden blow.

This year's snow is heavy, Huo Jun and the Northeast Army are on the Baoding Bar, the Northeast Army can't fight it, and Huo Jun can't attack it either.The battle became more and more bitter, and both sides gritted their teeth and carried it hard.That evening, Huo Xiangzhen was warming up by the fire in the headquarters when he suddenly received an urgent call saying that Xue Bing was defeated in the west and was besieged by the Central Army in Jingxing County.

This news made Huo Xiangzhen change color suddenly.After thinking and thinking while staring at the flames in the furnace, he finally decided to take a team south to rescue Xue Bing—there were only a few close people around him, and he couldn't help them die again.

Handing over the Baoding position to Sun Wenxiong, Huo Xiangzhen ordered troops to set off overnight.Fearing that the Northeast Army would launch a general attack at any time, he only took away two regiments.Loaded with two regiments by train, Huo Xiangzhen took the Ping-Han Line and headed straight to Shijiazhuang.

It was less than a hundred miles away from Shijiazhuang to Jingxing County. However, Huo Xiangzhen and his team just got off the train when they caught up with a snowstorm.The central army was already active ahead, and the train could not go on, so it could only move forward on two legs.In the middle of the night, the cold wind blows the overwhelming snowflakes, which are flying to bury the living.Huo Xiangzhen got off the horse, and while trying to stay close to the horse's body to avoid the wind, she bent over and took a lunge, walking forward step by step.He is the most powerful person, but in such a snowy world, he can't help but pant heavily.If he is like this, the rest of the soldiers are naturally more difficult, almost crawling against the wind on all fours.

In this way, in the early hours of the morning, Huo Jun walked halfway to death, and tried to move forward, but he bumped into the first line of defense of the Central Army.The little soldiers were all frozen to death, their fingers were so stiff that they couldn't even pull the trigger, but they rushed into the battle.Huo Xiangzhen's eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost, hot sweat trickled down her temples, which was also covered with frost.Gritting the leather glove with his teeth, he pulled out his hand and eagerly helped the artilleryman push the mortar.Unexpectedly, as soon as the palm of the hand was placed on the barrel, it was firmly stuck.There was not a single drop of hot water around, so he lowered his head and dragged, tearing his palm off the cannon barrel.

A piece of skin peeled off from the palm, and the slight pain was about to break out but did not break out.This time he had a long memory, so he put on gloves before moving the shells.All the elite artillerymen stayed in Baoding, and those who followed him were all dispensable guys.In order to avoid wasting shells, he had to personally direct the small artillerymen to aim and fire.

With the sound of the cannon, his brain shook, and the veins on his forehead began to jump and bulge.Grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, he wanted to chill his mind.Immediately, rows of gunshots also rang out, Maxim was set up on the high ground, and long tongues of flame spewed out from the barrel of the gun, strafing the front position from left to right.

Within a few minutes, the central army on the first line of defense retreated.Huo Xiangzhen was still awake, but had a headache.He grabbed another handful of Xue Bing and rubbed it all over his head and face. He didn't wear a hat, and led the team to move on, and ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Jingxing County to give Xue Bing a dose of reassurance.

However, not long after the telegram was sent, the telegraph operator received a long-winded reply.Chasing Huo Xiangzhen in the wind and snow, the telegraph operator shouted at the top of his voice in the strong wind: "Report to the commander, Mr. Xue wants you to go back to Baoding!"

Huo Xiangzhen thought she heard it wrong, and Bingshuang squinted her eyes and turned to look at him: "What?"

The telegraph operator was almost shouting: "Master Xue said that he has been defeated this time, and there are not many people left. He just stayed in Jingxing County, and he can hold back some enemies. He asked you to return to Baoding immediately to fight Beiping. Don't waste your time here!"

Huo Xiangzhen understood this time.Bending down and grabbing a handful of snow and rubbing his face, he waved his hand in a brief moment of coolness and shouted at the same time: "What nonsense! Keep going!"
