When Huo Yunshan heard this, he frowned slightly: "But, Xiao Yaonan will not let us do it easily."

"Besides, Hankou is a distance from Lingnan and western Hubei. If Xiao Yaonan takes action against us, I am worried that we will not be able to support us in time."

Lin Hongfei waved his hand: "Xiao Yaonan cannot do anything directly to us. After all, he and I are both directly affiliated, and they have the face of Yushuai."

"So, at most, he took some non-military means to expel us; or asked Yushuai to mediate and let us give up control of the Hanyang Arsenal."

Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei looked at Hu Yitong beside him and said, "Yitong, don't you say that there is a head of our Jiangdu people in the Hanyang Arsenal."

"I've taken time to meet him these days and dig out some information we need from him."

Hu Yitong nodded: "Don't worry, I have arranged this matter in advance. I will meet him tomorrow night."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

After Lin Hongfei finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and said, "During this period, you should try to understand the situation from Guishan to Heshan. If the time and place are good, we must take the advantage of the place first."

"Yes, I understand!" Everyone answered immediately.

Although Lin Hongfei predicted that Wang Zichun would definitely be powered on within five days, his downfall was beyond Lin Hongfei's expectations.

Two days later, the Hunan Army repelled Wang Zichun's Second Division and, under the leadership of the local forces in Hubei Province, quickly approached towards Wuhan.

Xiao Yaonan's 25th Division was still staying in Hankou, including Lin Hongfei, who was under the banner of aiding Hubei, who was also staying in the Wangjiang Hotel and not coming out.

At this time, Wang Zichun had already fully understood. These two people clearly had to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and then take the opportunity to enter Hubei, with the same idea as the Hunan Army.

In desperation, Wang Zichun announced his quit, and quickly left Hubei Province with the wealth he had plundered in the Lianghu area, and went to Tianjin to be a seemingly secluded apartment.

But after Wang Zichun stepped down, Xiao Yaonan still did not lead his troops south until the appointment from the capital was sent to Hubei Province in the form of a telegram.

Xiao Yaonan was appointed as the governor of Hubei Province.

Wu Ziyu was appointed as the inspector of the Two Lakes, responsible for the military affairs of Hubei and Hunan provinces.

Immediately, Xiao Yaonan led the 25th Division to set off from Hankou and headed south to the front line to fight against the Hunan Army.

Before leaving, Xiao Yaonan sent his adjutant Yu Qingyun to the Wangjiang Hotel.

After seeing Lin Hongfei, Yu Qingyun did not hide it and said directly: "Captain Lin, the Hunan Army is coming with great momentum and is quite unstoppable."

"Governor Xiao is ready to lead the 25th Division to fight against the Hunan Army, and Yushuai's side is also ready to bring the Third Division to Hubei to support."

"Captain Lin, you are a famous warrior. You started with 800 Hebei-Lu soldiers and conquered the entire Lingnan Province."

"Governor Xiao hopes that you can follow him to the south. With your help, you will be able to repel the Hunan Army."

Speaking of this, Yu Qingyun deliberately raised his voice: "Also, Governor Xiao sent a telegram to Yu Shuai for this matter. I guess Yu Shuai will agree to you going south with the army."

Looking at Yu Qingyun in front of him, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but sneer a little. Xiao Yaonan was indeed a smart man. He took him away from Hankou in the name of following the army south. In this way, he could not do anything.

Moreover, he brought out Yu Shuai's name, making it difficult for him to refuse.

If it were someone else, it would be really hard to refuse.

But since Lin Hongfei had already made up the idea of ​​controlling the Hanyang Arsenal, he naturally would not give up easily.

He smiled slightly, looked at Yu Qingyun and said, "Governor Xiao is so proud of me. How could I fight any war? I can do what I am today, but I rely on my brothers to be able to do it."

"Otherwise, with my little ability, let alone the entire Lingnan, it would be difficult to be a county magistrate!"

"If I follow the army south, I will just be causing trouble."

"Besides, I heard that Yu Shuai also wanted to bring the Third Division into Hubei. With him here, he will definitely win this battle."

"I don't think I'll join in the fun anymore. I will take these three armored gunboats to help Governor Xiao guard the Yangtze River so as not to fight in front and catch fire in the backyard!"

After hearing this, Yu Qingyun couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What kind of backyard fire is there? Even if there is a fire, it was also released by you Lin Hongfei!"

Seeing that Lin Hongfei was not deceived, Xiao Yaonan originally wanted to send troops directly into the Wangjiang Hotel and forced Lin Hongfei to follow him south.

But Yu Qingyun told him that the Wangjiang Hotel had been turned into a bunker by Lin Hongfei, and there were heavy machine guns and mortars on the roof. In addition, the cement-gray building body could not be attacked without using cannons.

But if the cannon is really used, Lin Hongfei and Xiao Yaonan will be completely broken up and will never stop.

Not to mention the relationship between Lin Hongfei and Wu Ziyu.

Xiao Yaonan is still going to fight against the Hunan Army now. If he adds a strong enemy like Lin Hongfei to himself, he may not be able to sit steadily as the governor of Hubei Province.

In desperation, Xiao Yaonan could only let Lin Hongfei stay in Hankou.

However, Xiao Yaonan did not guess Lin Hongfei's true intention to stay in Hankou.

After all, besides the position of the governor of Hubei Province, Xiao Yaonan can't think of what else Lin Hongfei wants to get in Hubei Province.

Perhaps, Lin Hongfei wanted to take the opportunity to spread his power in western Hubei to the Wuhan area.

On the contrary, when Xiao Yaonan left Hankou, he deliberately left a regiment of troops stationed in Hankou to keep an eye on Lin Hongfei and avoid any evil actions.

While Lin Hongfei and Xiao Yaonan were fighting openly and secretly, a passenger ship was docked on the Jiangdu wharf. Amid the surging crowd, a young man with a handsome appearance was walking onto the land of Jiangbei with a vine box with a crowd.

Chen Jiaming, the legitimate son of Chen Fengchang, former senior management of the Anhui clan and deputy director of transportation, had just returned from studying in France.

When he first met Lin Hongfei, he had expressed his thoughts to Lin Hongfei about going to Japan to study medicine.

But later he changed his mind and went to study in France. After seeing the prosperity of foreign big cities, Chen Jiaming decided to study civil engineering and urban construction planning. He hoped to build a modern city for his motherland in the future.

Some time ago, Chen Jiaming returned from France. After talking about his ideals with his father Chen Fengchang, Chen Fengchang immediately decided to let his son go to Lingnan Province.

Although Chen Fengchang has stepped down, his mind is still very clear. Lin Hongfei is now serving as the governor of Lingnan Province and will definitely build a large-scale construction project in Lingnan Province. International students who are majoring in civil engineering like Chen Jiaming are Lin Hongfei's most scarce talents.

In addition, there is no need to say much about the relationship between Chen Fengchang and Lin Hongfei. Chen Jiaming will definitely be able to show his ambitions after going to Lingnan Province!
