Hubei Province

Hankou

As the commander-in-chief of the aid Hubei, Xiao Yaonan, after leading the 25th division under his command, arrived in Hankou, he set up camp and no matter how the governor of Hubei Province Wang Zichun urged him, just like an old monk entering into meditation, he would not be able to move.

In the garrison of the 25th Division of the Direct Division, Xiao Yaonan, who was temporarily appointed as the "Commander-in-Chief of Aiding Hubei", was listening absent-mindedly as the adjutant recited a telegram sent by Wang Zichun.

The content of the telegram is also a cliché, but it is simply that the Hunan Army's offensive is very fierce and his troops are almost unable to resist it. I beg to lead troops to support immediately.

After reading the telegram, the adjutant looked at Xiao Yaonan and said, "Master, will you still reply to Wang Zichun?"

Xiao Yaonan is also a direct veteran. When the direct leader Cao Dashen was the commander of the 3rd Division of the Beiyang Army, he was the chief of staff of the division headquarters.

He and Yushuai also met very early. When he was the chief of staff of the division, Yushuai was the major general brigade commander of the third division, and the relationship between the two had always been very harmonious.

Sometimes there was a conflict between Cao Dashui and Yu Shuai due to military and political affairs. When quarreling, Xiao Yaonan often mediated from it to ease the conflict between the two. Therefore, he was valued by Cao Dashui and Yu Shuai at the same time, and he was like a fish in water within the direct line.

At this time, when he heard the adjutant's speech, Xiao Yaonan narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Let me reply, I say that most of the soldiers of the 25th Division are northerners. They are not adapting to the land and land in Hubei Province. They are resting. After the rest, they will immediately send troops to resist the Hunan Army."

The adjutant nodded, quickly copied it on paper, and then handed it to the radio operator beside him to send a telegram.

When Yu Shuai received a request for help from Wang Zichun, although he immediately sent Xiao Yaonan to lead the 25th Division into Hubei, they had already made up the idea of ​​"supporting Hubei but not kings" before they set off.

To put it bluntly, the two of them just want to sit and watch Wang Zichun step down and then take advantage of the situation to seize the military and political power of Hubei Province.

In addition to serving as the governor of Hubei Province, Wang Zichun also has the position of inspector of the Two Lakes, which can govern the military power of Hubei Province and Hunan Province.

It’s a pity that Wang Zichun is not capable enough, let alone the military affairs of Hunan Province, he can’t even control his Hubei Province now.

He can't do it, but it doesn't mean that no one else can do it.

In fact, Wu Ziyu, as the deputy envoy of the inspection of the three provinces of Zhi, Shandong and Henan, had already had the idea of ​​the inspection of the two lakes.

After all, the Deputy Envoy of the Three Provinces is just a deputy post and there is a Three Provinces on its head. It would be better to get the Two Lakes Advisory Envoy and leave yourself without any restraint.

Now it seems that the two people's plan has initially achieved their goal, and Wang Zichun can no longer hold on in internal and external troubles!

At this time, the adjutant said, "Teacher, our people heard from Wang Zichun. It is said that Wang Zichun sent someone to ask Governor Lin of Lingnan Province for help. Governor Lin agreed to lead troops into Hubei to support Wang Zichun."

"Look, do you want to say something to Yushuai and ask Yushuai to stop Governor Lin, so as not to disrupt our plan!"

Hearing the adjutant's somewhat worried words, Xiao Yaonan smiled slightly and said, "No need, Lin Hongfei is a smart person. He should be able to see that Yu Shuai wants to gain the true idea of ​​Hubei Province and Hunan Province."

"So, it's impossible for him to lead his troops into Hubei. Even if he really comes, he will probably be like us, not working hard, and just sit and watch Prince Chun leave the wilderness!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yaonan couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Hongfei is not old, but his eyes are poisonous. As soon as we set foot on the territory of Hubei Province, he had already occupied the western Hubei area."

"If I become the governor of Hubei Province in the future, I will also look at his Lin Hongfei's expression in military and political affairs in western Hubei."

The adjutant frowned and said, "The commander of the western Hubei governor is Wu Yongquan, the nephew of the coach Yu. Although he was a deputy under Lin Hongfei before, he now leads troops to occupy one side. I think he will gradually escape from Lin Hongfei in the future."

"At that time, relying on our relationship with Yushuai, we may not be able to win over Wu Yongquan to our side."

After hearing this, Xiao Yaonan smiled: "You underestimate the relationship between Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan. I had seen Wu Yongquan once in Yushuai's mansion. During the conversation, I found that the relationship between this person and Lin Hongfei was very close. If others wanted to instigate it, it would be just a boring thing."

When the adjutant heard this, he immediately said a little discouraged: "According to what you said, we can't really interfere in the matter in western Hubei?"

"Is it not enough for Lin Hongfei to control Lingnan Province? He also has to reach Hubei Province. This is too greedy!"

Xiao Yaonan said calmly: "It is normal for him to do this if he is greedy for the sake of the river."

"Although he is in control of western Hubei, fortunately he is Yushuai's niece and son-in-law, and he is also our direct iron. There is no need to worry that he will hook up with outsiders in the future and harm us in turn."

"Although Wang Zichun is not far from leaving the world, many of his old subordinates are still serving in the Hubei Provincial Army. If these people are not appeased/supervised, they will definitely cause disaster in the future."

"The troops left by Lin Hongfei in western Hubei can help me with my help and take control of Hubei Province as soon as possible!"

When the adjutant heard this, he nodded: "Don't say it, it's true. Lin Hongfei can indeed help us!"

Having said that, a trace of coldness flashed in Xiao Yaonan's eyes. He was lying beside the bed, so how could he allow others to sleep soundly? Xiao Yaonan had been practicing in the army for many years, and today he finally had his own territory. As a result, he was a huge western Hubei and was controlled by outsiders, which made Xiao Yaonan unacceptable.

At this time, Xiao Yaonan had already made up his mind that even with Yu Shuai, he would find a way to squeeze Lin Hongfei away from western Hubei.

At this time, a radio operator walked in quickly and sent a telegram he had just received to the adjutant. The adjutant quickly browsed the telegram and his face changed immediately.

Xiao Yaonan noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

The adjutant sent the telegram to Xiao Yaonan, and then said: "Mr. Lin Hongfei led three armored gunboats to go straight down the river and arrived in Wuhan soon in the name of aiding Hubei."

"Um?"

Xiao Yaonan frowned, picked up the telegram and read it, and sneered, "I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, Lin Hongfei can't help but chant."

"Three armored gunboats, big deal!"

"But since he wants to help Hubei, what's the use of just carrying a gunboat? No matter how thick the gun barrel is, it can't hit the inland!" the adjutant said with a frown.

Xiao Yaonan is a very smart person. He quickly realized the meaning of Lin Hongfei's actions. He couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, you can't hit the inland, but you can hit the base of our 25th Division!"

"This is to tell us clearly that Lin Hong's spacecraft is strong and powerful, so we should not attack western Hubei!"

"Little bastard!"
