At this time, Wu Yongquan asked with some curiosity: "Hongfei, after we wiped out the leading troops and the second batch of troops of the 34th Division, it was enough to teach Liu Wanyi a lesson."

"Why do we need to send more troops across the river to outflank Liu Wanyi's division headquarters?"

Lin Hongfei said: "Because, I want to take over the territory of the 34th Division."

"Originally, my thoughts were all on the central and western areas of Jinglue Ridge, but the 34th Division's troubles gave me a wake-up call!"

"Our territory is across the Yangtze River from the Thirty-Fourth Division. If we seize their territory, then this area of ​​the Yangtze River, as well as the water transport terminals and trade routes on both sides, will be under our control."

"With such a piece of fat right next to my mouth, there's no reason why I wouldn't eat it."

Wu Yongquan nodded and agreed with Lin Hongfei's view. He reached out and rubbed his temples, frowning slightly and said:

"After another conscription a few days ago, the number of troops we can currently mobilize is around 4,000, and there are also a lot of new recruits mixed in."

"The current strength of the Thirty-fourth Division is 6,000. If we divide our troops into two places, I'm afraid the pressure on both armies will be great."

"I'm worried that the troops crossing the river will lose the battle because of insufficient strength."

Lin Hongfei pointed at Comrade Hu Yi beside him and said: "It doesn't matter, occupying land is not only about fighting and killing, but also about worldly relations!"

"Director Hu, don't be reluctant to spend money and find a way to bribe a few officers of the 34th Division so that they can rebel when necessary."

Hu Yitong quickly responded: "There is no problem with bribery, but the key is that these people will not do anything after receiving the money!"

When Lin Hongfei heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. The smoother our battle goes, the more determined these people will be to rebel."

"As long as the first two batches of troops of the 34th Division are eliminated and the outflanking troops are outflanked, these people will surrender!"

"That's it. On the one hand, we will deploy two lines of troops, one to defend the north of the Yangtze River, and the other to make a circuitous route across the river."

"On the other hand, bribe the leading officers of the Thirty-Fourth Division to act as internal agents!"

The plan was decided, and Lin Hongfei and his officers immediately began to implement it.

Hu Yitong's Special Investigation Division was also sending in a steady stream of information, and the movements of the 34th Division were as clear as transparent glass.

Thirty-fourth Division Headquarters

An intelligence staff officer was reporting to Liu Wanyi on the latest developments of the newly formed 16th Division on the other side:

"Master, the two armored gunboats of the Sixteenth Division have been transferred. According to the information obtained by the brothers at the front, it is said that a group of water bandits robbed Lin Hongfei's goods and killed the people on board."

"Lin Hongfei was so angry that he sent two armored gunboats out to clear out the water bandits."

Hearing this, Liu Wanyi's face was overjoyed: "Hahaha, great, God is really helping me!"

"What I'm most worried about are these two armored gunboats. I originally planned to borrow two cannons from the governor to drive these two gunboats away."

"It's better now, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Having said this, Liu Wanyi looked at the intelligence staff officer: "By the way, how is the situation at Orange Beach?"

The intelligence staff member flipped through the documents in his hand and quickly replied: "Oh, it has been found out clearly. Since Marshal Duan of the Anhui Clan left the field, the Sixteenth Division withdrew the troops stationed in Orange Beach, leaving only one

The strength of the company."

"According to the information obtained by the spies, it is said that Lin Hongfei is worried that too many troops will be stationed in Orange Beach, which will make our direct line mistakenly think that he will fight to the end."

"So I withdrew my troops to show that I had no intention of going to war with the Zhili Clique."

When Liu Wanyi heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "This Lin Hongfei is quite smart. He knows how to adapt to the wind and not hang himself from a tree."

"It seems like he wants to take refuge with our Marshal Cao!"

The intelligence staff hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master, since Lin Hongfei wants to join Marshal Cao, in case he has already contacted Marshal Cao, and Marshal Cao has agreed."

"If we attack him at this time, will it make the commander angry?"

Liu Wanyi seemed to have thought of this problem for a long time. He immediately said: "If this is really the case, then we will have to conquer Jiangbei."

"Otherwise, once the Marshal's order comes, Lin Hongfei will be allowed to continue to be his Jiangbei garrison envoy."

"As for us, we got nothing in the end!"

"We might as well take advantage of the fact that the commander-in-chief's order hasn't come down, and we pretend not to know, and just say that Lin Hongfei has evil intentions and intends to attack Hubei Province, so he attacked."

"When we conquer Jiangbei, even if the commander blames us, the rice has already been cooked. Jiangbei is already our territory."

"When the time comes, I will offer the commander a heavy gift to apologize. Not only will the commander not blame me, but the position of Jiangbei's guardian envoy belongs to me!"

After hearing this, the intelligence staff officer suddenly realized something. He flattered him repeatedly and said, "That's it, sir! Thank you very much!"

"It seems that I still have a lot to learn from you, Master!"

Liu Wanyi felt quite comfortable being photographed, and said with a smile: "Go and study hard. When you have half of my skills, being a brigade commander is nothing, let alone a regiment leader!"

After the intelligence staff praised Liu Wanyi with a smile on his face, he stood up and left the room.

I saw him walking out of the division headquarters, then turning into an alley, passing through the alley, going around in a circle, and finally walked into a tavern.

The business in the tavern was very average, and there were no customers in the lobby. When the intelligence consultant walked in, the tavern owner behind the counter glanced at him, and then raised his chin towards the private room with the door closed.

This tavern is where the Special Investigation Division is located at the headquarters of the 34th Division. The owner and waiters are all members of the Special Investigation Division.

The person waiting for the intelligence staff in the private room was none other than Hu Yitong from the Special Investigation Division. Because this matter was so important, he came personally to bribe the officers within the 34th Division.

In the private room, the intelligence staff member was talking to Hu Yitong: "I have reported the false information to Liu Wanyi, and he believed it. If nothing else happens, he will definitely fall into the trap."

Hu Yitong showed a satisfied look, took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it over: "Take it, here is the 50% for you first."

When the intelligence staff saw the number on the banknote, his eyes suddenly lit up. With a greedy look flashing in his eyes, he first carefully checked the authenticity of the banknote before putting it into a hidden pocket of his clothes.

At this time, Hu Yitong continued: "Chief Lin said that after the matter is completed, the remaining 50% will be given to you immediately."

"During this period, I hope that my brother can continue to help us!"

With a smile on his face, the intelligence staff member patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've always been able to do things effectively. I guarantee that Commander Lin will be satisfied!"

After receiving the reward, the intelligence staff did not stay here longer. He was also worried that he would be discovered, so he left in a hurry.
