: A discussion on ghost tyrants

Lin Junting's face changed and suddenly felt a sudden nervousness in his heart: Long Jiguang was telling the truth. Once Wu Shaoting fell into the hands of Grandmaster Lu, he would definitely want to kill him quickly. No one can keep Wu Shaoting's survivor; but even Long Jiguang dared not take action himself, which shows how great the influence he had afterwards!

He knew that Long Jiguang had always been secretive, and now that the other party is open and honest in front of him, it is also a strategy to push responsibility. Let’s not talk about what Long Jiguang is worried about, but only talk about whether Marshal Lu can block all the aftermath in one go? It seems that it is necessary to have a good talk with Marshal Lu.

"You asked me if I had brought Wu Shaoting here, right?" Long Jiguang paused for a moment and said again.

"Yes, right." Lin Junting came to his senses and said quickly.

"It's almost done," Long Jiguang took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. "I dare not let him stay by my side. Before I came, I was divided into two groups, and the other group was escorting him on a speedboat. I set off an hour later than me, and I should be able to arrive before dark. Lord Lin can now send someone to the dock to wait. Anyway, I get off the boat and I will give it to you. It has nothing to do with me from now on."

"This is natural." Lin Junting said with a slight smile. He was a little suspicious at this time: Long Jiguang was afraid of the troubles after Wu Shaoting's death, but what's so frustrating to escort Wu Shaoting? But he didn't think much about it soon. After all, Long Jiguang was originally strange, and who knew what this person was thinking.

The two came to the living room, and Lu Rongting and the subordinates of Long Jiguang's advance delegation stood up to greet each other.

Lu Rongting smiled and stepped forward to grab Long Jiguang's shoulder, grabbed it hard, and sighed: "Brother Zicheng, you have made great contributions to our south this time. Capture Wu Shaoting, the thief beast, will be settled slowly."

Long Jiguang let go of his hand absent-mindedly, and did not be polite to Lu Rongting. He walked directly to the living room and sat down by the window, and then said straight to the point: "Let me ask first, is the reward order Lu had calculated?"

Lu Rongting was a little surprised, and then smiled and said, "Don't worry, let alone 100,000 oceans, you can reward 200,000 oceans."

Long Jiguang laughed and said, "Okay, that's 200,000. I'll hand Wu Shaoting to you. Yunfu will inevitably suffer a fierce battle after that. The military expenditure is not enough. Brother, you must take care of me. Not only that, brother, I also hope that you can help me take Zhaoqing directly. According to our agreement in advance, Guangzhou will return to me east and west. In addition, you don't have to worry about Fujian. I have secretly contacted local gentry in Fujian to help. Even if Fujian needs to make moves, I will still be blocking it in Guangzhou."

Lu Rongting did not expect Long Jiguang to have planned the matter so carefully. He nodded suddenly and sighed: "It's so good, very good. Brother Zicheng, don't worry, Lu must take good care of Yunfu's military expenditure and materials personally, and will never miss Brother Zicheng's major affairs. As for asking our Gui army to send troops to Zhaoqing, it is not difficult to say about this matter. Let me mobilize Hezhou troops to meet again later, and you can convene a staff combat meeting and formulate an offensive plan."

When Long Jiguang heard this, his face showed an unhappy expression. He said sarcastically: "Master Lu, should we ask if this "later" should be "later"? When Wuzhou changes, southern China is already in turmoil, especially the Guangdong generals are even more tense, and they will move their whole body. Master Lu, I am conspiring with you with a huge pressure. You will not cross the river and destroy the bridge, deliberately delaying support and sending troops, and watching me, Yunfu is gone, right?"

Lu Rongting was stunned, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Look at what you said, you and I will work together. This is the time when you rely on each other and complement each other. How can I let you down? You are also the person in charge of the army. You should know in your heart that this money and goods are not a joke, and it will take some time to prepare."

Long Jiguang smiled coldly, stared at Lu Rongting sarcastically, and said teasingly: "Tsk tsk, Marshal Lu, do you have to let me say ugly things? Because these things are not a joke, there is a saying that 'the army has not moved, food and grass will come first'. Marshal Lu did not even plan for this, and you still say that you should cooperate with me?"

Lu Rongting's face changed. Unexpectedly, Long Jiguang's words were really good. In fact, he did not intend to give Long Jiguang too much assistance. The only value of the other party was to control Wu Shaoting. As for the so-called stabilization of the barriers between Guangdong and Fujian, it was not enough to worry about it.

In his opinion, the troops of a brigade of Long Jiguang were mostly Wu Shaoting's direct troops, and once something big happened, the other party would inevitably be unable to withstand it. Instead of wasting materials and funds on Long Jiguang, it would be better to strengthen his combat power.

If you want to talk about the real barrier that can cooperate with Guangxi, it is the first division of Tianakayu Central in Hunan, the third division and two brigade of Li Chun in Jiangxi, and the troops of Wu Peifu and Cao Kun in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. These Beiyang troops are natural barriers, which are much more deterrent and combat power than Long Jiguang, and they don’t have to spend money and send troops themselves.

He had already had contact with Hankou and knew that the Beiyang government's battle in Sichuan was greatly damaged. If he did not take the opportunity to suppress the momentum in the south today, the Beiyang government's status would inevitably be unsafe. So he was not worried that Tanakayuki, Li Chun, Wu Peifu, Cao Kun and others would remain unmoved. If he still remained unmoved at this time, it could only be said that the Beiyang army would not be able to support the wall.

"Brother Zicheng, why, do you not trust me?" Lu Rongting was not inconvenient to turn against Long Jiguang, and pretended to be serious and questioned, "It has come to this point. If you and I cannot trust each other, I think this major event will only die halfway."

"Trust? Haha, brother, I want to ask you, do you trust me?" Long Jiguang said sneered.

Just then, a serviceman hurriedly ran into the door, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Master"

"Didn't you see I'm busy? Go out." Lu Rongting shouted. He was very unhappy. If Long Jiguang couldn't handle this part, it would be a lingering trouble. Especially since Wu Shaoting had not been escorted, the situation still had variables. At this time, he would not be in the mood to pay attention to other things.

The orderly soldier was shocked by this drink. Everyone knew that once Marshal Lu got angry, he would definitely not be able to take the opportunity, so he had to retreat.

"Master Lu, time is tight right now, so I won't talk nonsense. The reason why I came to Wuzhou in the dark is to talk to Master Lu in person. At least I will give me 200,000 first, and then give me 6,000 people a month's ration. After I order it clearly, I will leave immediately. It's that simple." Long Jiguang said bluntly.

Lu Rongting and Lin Junting exchanged glances, and Lin Junting came over and whispered: "The money is easy to talk about, and the military rations can be barely collected. The logistics forces are moving into the city. Half of them should be collected within an hour, and the other half can be requisitioned from the people, but it will take some time. Master, look."

Lu Rongting stopped, then turned to Long Jiguang and said, "Let's do this, I'll raise 100,000 for you within an hour, and I'll send military rations to Yunfu tomorrow morning. It's just a matter of one night. Brother Zicheng won't be petty with me, right?"

Long Jiguang said expressionlessly: "Okay, if you can't get the food, then borrow six cannons and five hundred shells of Marshal Lu first. I'm worried that I will not survive tonight. After that, I will take down the Guangdong Arsenal and return the cannon to Marshal Lu. Is this the head office?"

Lu Rongting laughed, but he felt sarcastic in his heart: Do you really want to support Guangzhou? Humph, I see that Guangzhou has been around for half a lifetime.
