Chapter 309 Entering Southern Shaanxi
When Liu Baoshan shouted, the Jiangbei Army soldier quickly withdrew his strength and almost dodged his waist.
After being captured, Liu Baoshan's identity was not exposed. When two soldiers escorted him toward the pile of prisoners, a lieutenant colonel officer of the Jiangbei Army accidentally glanced at Liu Baoshan.
At first, the lieutenant colonel thought Liu Baoshan, dressed in orderly uniform, was just an ordinary soldier.
However, the next second, the lieutenant colonel suddenly had a look in his eyes, and his eyes quickly focused on Liu Baoshan's ill-fitting orderly uniform.
Without hesitation, the lieutenant colonel officer immediately walked over and stopped Liu Baoshan, then stared at Liu Baoshan and asked:
"What's your name, and what do you do in the Shaanxi Army?"
Liu Baoshan told the lie he had made up in advance: "I, Zhang Dahu, am the cook of the Southern Shaanxi Army!"
"Cook?"
"Who are you fooling!"
"I'm not going to say that your dress doesn't fit you."
"Just the shirt you are wearing, it costs 20 oceans at least!"
"explain!"
"Who the hell are you!"
"If you don't tell me, I will tie you to a tree and beat you to death!" the lieutenant colonel yelled and cursed.
At this time, Liu Baoshan originally wanted to quibble, but his words turned into a sigh.
With a sigh, Liu Baoshan became sluggish and looked resigned:
"I am Liu Baoshan, the garrison envoy of southern Shaanxi!"
As soon as these words came out, even the lieutenant colonel himself was shocked. He thought Liu Baoshan was just a senior officer of the Southern Shaanxi Army.
But I didn’t expect that I would find such a big fish!
Soon, Liu Baoshan was escorted to Luo Shan.
Luo Shan did not treat Liu Baoshan lightly because of his status as the winner. Instead, he 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 tea. Although he had been captured, his mentality calmed down a lot. He only heard him say slowly:
"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit!"
"What do you Jiangbei Army plan to do with me?"
Luo Shan laughed and said: "Sir Liu, you are serious. You are an old-timer from Beiyang, and we are all juniors."
"Don't worry, our Jiangbei Army will treat you well and will never let you suffer any injustice!"
After hearing this, Liu Baoshan chuckled and said, "Well, I will be a prisoner in a down-to-earth manner."
"But I have to ask you something!"
"Sir Liu, please speak!" Luo Shan said.
Liu Baoshan pointed to the prisoners in the distance and said with a somewhat pleading attitude:
"These people came to Dongjiang to fight under my orders. The fault lies with me, not them."
"I hope you can give them a way to survive and don't kill them!"
Luo Shan nodded: "No problem, we didn't plan to kill them in the first place!"
"That's good, thank you very much!" Liu Baoshan said with a smile.
With the destruction of the Shaanxi Army and the capture of Liu Baoshan, the last support of the Yingguo Army was eliminated.
As for Marshal Zhang of the Feng clique, he was fighting fiercely with the Zhili clique in the Zhili area and had no energy to take care of Lingnan Province.
After annihilating the Shaanxi Army, the independent First Division, which won the battle, did not return to the camp.
After they handed over the prisoners to other troops, they headed straight for southern Shaanxi under the leadership of Luo Shan!
This plan was also formulated by Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan, Chu Liangyi and others before leaving Lingnan Province.
After the Southern Shaanxi Army was eliminated, the entire southern Shaanxi Province was left empty for natural defense. How could Lin Hongfei let such a good place pass?
Therefore, the mission of the Independent Division was changed from ambushing the Shaanxi Army to occupying Shaanxi, establishing a defense line, and resisting attacks from other forces in Shaanxi Province.
In particular, Liu Zhenhua, who had been promoted to the governor of Shaanxi Province, was the leader of the Song Suppression Army. He had joined forces with He Taikang to attack Huaishui County in the north of the Yangtze River.
Naturally, Lin Hongfei would not spare this old rival. After occupying southern Shaanxi, he planned to obtain the position of the governor of southern Shaanxi.
Then use southern Shaanxi as a springboard to attack the Song Army and settle the score with this old opponent!
The Jiangbei Army marched very quickly. After entering Shaanxi Province, they went straight to Hanzhong, where the southern Shaanxi garrison headquarters was located.
Because the main force of the southern Shaanxi army had been taken to the Dongjiang River by Liu Baoshan to die, there were not many troops stationed in southern Shaanxi.
In addition, the garrison was dispersed to various counties and passes, so when the Jiangbei Army pressed the border, these garrison troops immediately surrendered.
If you serve as a soldier and eat food, who should you serve as a soldier? Liu Baoshan is not his biological father. How can he risk his life for him?
With the subsequent arrival of reinforcements from the Jiangbei Army, the southern Shaanxi area came under the control of the Jiangbei Army, and Luo Shan, deputy commander of the First Independent Division, was reassigned as Assistant Military Affairs Officer of Southern Shaanxi.
However, this military affairs assistant job was done by Wu Yongquan himself and was not appointed by the capital government, so it was not considered 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 Song Suppressing Army was so angry that he immediately threw the tea bowl.
The relationship between Liu Zhenhua and Liu Baoshan was very ordinary. Liu Zhenhua had always wanted to extend the tentacles of the Suppression Army to southern Shaanxi, but Liu Baoshan blocked him.
Now, Liu Baoshan has been destroyed, and southern Shaanxi has been seized by the Jiangbei Army. How can Liu Zhenhua swallow this bad breath!
In anger, Liu Zhenhua immediately decided to summon troops and drive Jiangbei Army out directly while their foundation in southern Shaanxi was not stable!
However, before this 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 has been occupied by outsiders. How can I stand aside and sit idly by?" Liu Zhenhua glared and said angrily.
The staff quickly explained: "But Marshal, don't forget that Wu Yongquan, who led the troops to invade and occupy southern Shaanxi this time, is Marshal Yu's nephew!"
"If you send troops to southern Shaanxi, it will be difficult for Commander Yu to deal with you."
After hearing this, Liu Zhenhua was immediately discouraged.
Originally Liu Zhenhua was only the governor of Shaanxi Province, but later he became the governor of Shaanxi Province with the support of Wu Ziyu.
Moreover, Liu Zhenhua's reputation in Shaanxi Province was extremely poor, and the Zhensong Army under his command had recruited a large number of bandits, and its military discipline could be said to be in a mess.
If Wu Ziyu hadn't been there to support him, Liu Zhenhua would have been driven out of office by the people of the province just like Wang Zichun, the former governor of Hubei Province.
Seeing that Liu Zhenhua's expression was extremely bad, the staff persuaded him: "You don't have to worry about it. Since Wu Yongquan and Yu Shuai have an uncle-nephew relationship, and you are Yu Shuai's confidant."
"You can ask Marshal Yu to help make peace. At worst, we can spend more money and ask Marshal Yu to let Wu Yongquan withdraw from southern Shaanxi. I think it is impossible for Marshal Yu not to give you this face."
After listening to this, Liu Zhenhua pondered for a long time and then sighed longly: "Okay, then let Jiangbei Army be stationed in southern Shaanxi for a period of time."
