Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 309 Entering Southern Shaanxi

When Liu Baoshan bluffed, the soldier of the Jiangbei Army quickly pulled back his strength and almost lost his waist.

After being captured, Liu Baoshan's identity was not revealed. When two soldiers escorted him to the group of prisoners, a lieutenant colonel of the Jiangbei Army accidentally glanced at Liu Baoshan.

At first, the lieutenant colonel thought that Liu Baoshan, who was wearing an orderly uniform, was just an ordinary soldier.

However, in the next second, the lieutenant colonel's eyes suddenly froze, and his eyes quickly focused on Liu Baoshan's ill-fitting orderly uniform.

Without hesitation, the lieutenant colonel immediately went over to stop Liu Baoshan, then stared at Liu Baoshan and asked:

"What's your name, what do you do in the Southern Shaanxi Army?"

Liu Baoshan told the nonsense he had made up in advance: "I, Zhang Dahu, am the cook of the Southern Shaanxi Army!"

"Boy?"

"Who are you fooling!"

"Let me not say that your clothes don't fit well."

"Just the shirt inside you, at least you need 20 oceans to buy it!"

"Say!"

"Who the hell are you!"

"Don't tell me I tied you to a tree and beat you to death!" the lieutenant colonel sternly shouted.

At this time, Liu Baoshan wanted to quibble, but his words turned into a sigh.

With the sound of alas, Liu Baoshan's whole body became sluggish, with a look of resignation:

"I am Liu Baoshan, the guardian envoy of southern Shaanxi!"

As soon as these words came out, even the lieutenant colonel was startled, he thought Liu Baoshan was just a senior officer of the Southern Shaanxi Army.

But he didn't expect that he found such a big fish!

Soon, Liu Baoshan was brought before Luo Shan.

Luo Shan did not treat Liu Baoshan lightly because of his status as the winner, but asked Liu Baoshan to sit down and rest first, and served him a cup of hot tea.

At this time, Liu Baoshan took a sip of his tea, and he, who had already been captured, calmed down a lot. He only heard him say slowly:

"Winner takes all, loser for Kou!"

"What do you Jiangbei Army plan to do with me?"

Luo Shan laughed and said, "Mr. Liu is serious. You are a senior from Beiyang, and we are all juniors."

"Don't worry, our Jiangbei Army will treat you kindly, and will never let you suffer any grievances!"

After listening to this, Liu Baoshan chuckled and said, "Well, I'll be a prisoner down-to-earth."

"However, I have to ask you one thing!"

"Sir Liu, please speak!" Luo Shan said.

Liu Baoshan pointed to the captives in the distance, and said with a pleading gesture:

"These people came to Dongjiang to fight on my order. It's my fault, not theirs."

"I hope you can give them a way to survive, don't kill them!"

Luo Shan nodded: "No problem, we didn't intend to kill them at all!"

"That's good, thank you!" Liu Baoshan said with a smile.

With the destruction of the Southern Shaanxi Army and the capture of Liu Baoshan, the last support of the Yasukuni Army was also eliminated.

As for Marshal Zhang of the Feng Faction, he was fighting with the Zhi Faction in the Zhili area, and he had no energy to take care of Lingnan Province at all.

After the Southern Shaanxi Army was wiped out, the independent [-]st Division, which had won the battle, did not return to the camp.

After handing over the captives to other troops, they headed straight to southern Shaanxi under the leadership of Luo Shan!

This plan was also made by Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan, Chu Liangyi and others before leaving Lingnan Province.

After the Southern Shaanxi Army was wiped out, the entire southern Shaanxi was naturally defenseless. How could Lin Hongfei let go of such a good place.

Therefore, the task of the Independent First Division was changed from ambushing the Southern Shaanxi Army to occupying southern Shaanxi, establishing a line of defense, and resisting attacks from other forces in Shaanxi Province.

Especially Liu Zhenhua, who has been promoted to the governor of Shaanxi Province, is the leader of the Zhensong Army. He once joined forces with He Taikang to attack Huaishui County in the north of the Yangtze River.

Naturally, Lin Hongfei would not spare this old opponent. He planned to take the position of the guard envoy of southern Shaanxi after he occupied it.

Then use southern Shaanxi as a springboard to attack the Zhensong Army, and settle the score with this old opponent!

The Jiangbei Army marched very fast. After entering the territory of Shaanxi Province, they went straight to Hanzhong, where the Southern Shaanxi Guarding Mission is located.

Because the main force of the Southern Shaanxi Army has been taken to Dongjiang by Liu Baoshan to die, there are not many troops stationed in Southern Shaanxi.

In addition, the garrisons were dispersed to various counties and passes, so when the Jiangbei army came under pressure, these garrisons surrendered immediately.

Serving as a soldier eats food, who is not serving as a soldier, and Liu Baoshan is not his own father, so he deserves to die for him?

With the subsequent arrival of reinforcements from the Jiangbei Army, the area in southern Shaanxi was controlled by the Jiangbei Army, and Luo Shan, the deputy commander of the Independent First Division, was reassigned as the Assistant Military Affairs Office in Southern Shaanxi.

It's just that this errand of the military assistant was created by Wu Yongquan himself, and he was not appointed by the capital government, so it can't be regarded as a formal official position.

The news of the change of ownership in southern Shaanxi soon reached the ears of Liu Zhenhua, the current Governor of Hubei Province. The leader of the Zhensong Army was so angry that he immediately dropped the tea bowl.

The relationship between Liu Zhenhua and Liu Baoshan is very ordinary. Liu Zhenhua has always wanted to extend the tentacles of the Zhensong Army to southern Shaanxi, but Liu Baoshan blocked them all.

Now, Liu Baoshan has been wiped out, and southern Shaanxi has been seized by the Jiangbei army. How can Liu Zhenhua swallow this bad breath!

In a fit of rage, Liu Zhenhua immediately decided to summon his troops and drive them out directly, taking advantage of the unstable foundation of the Jiangbei Army in southern Shaanxi!

It's just that before the order was issued, he was persuaded by the staff around him.

"Why can't we send troops?"

"I am the governor of Shaanxi Province. Southern Shaanxi is occupied by outsiders. How can I stand by and do nothing!" Liu Zhenhua stared angrily.

The staff quickly explained: "But Commander, don't forget that Wu Yongquan, who led the army to invade and occupy southern Shaanxi this time, is Yushuai's own nephew!"

"If you send troops to southern Shaanxi, it will be difficult for Yushuai to explain."

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhua was immediately discouraged.

Originally, Liu Zhenhua was only the governor of Shaanxi Province, but later became the governor of Shaanxi Province with Wu Ziyu's support.

Moreover, Liu Zhenhua's reputation in Shaanxi Province is extremely bad, and the Zhensong Army under his command has recruited a large number of bandits, so the military discipline can be said to be a mess.

If Wu Ziyu hadn't been behind him to support him, Liu Zhenhua would have been expelled from power by the people of the whole province just like Wang Zichun, the former governor of Hubei province.

Seeing that Liu Zhenhua's face was very pale, the staff persuaded him: "You don't have to worry about it, since Wu Yongquan has a relationship with Yushuai as uncle and nephew, and you are Yushuai's confidant and beloved general."

"You can ask Yushuai to come forward to help make peace. At worst, let's spend more money and ask Yushuai to let Wu Yongquan withdraw from southern Shaanxi. I think it is impossible for Yushuai not to give you this face."

After listening to it, Liu Zhenhua pondered for a long time before sighing: "Okay, then let the Jiangbei Army station in southern Shaanxi for a while."

"I hope Wu Yongquan won't go too far, otherwise, even with Yushuai's relationship, I can't spare him!"
