"There are more than 3 people, haha, this is all right, no matter whether it is Baibaoshan or Zheng Junyan, let none of them run away. Tell the troops to prepare for a counterattack!" Bi Shucheng suddenly became energetic when he heard that there were more than 3 reinforcements. Haha smiled and ordered.

"Yes!"

When the defenders on the city wall heard that reinforcements from two divisions had arrived, their morale increased greatly, and their firepower seemed to have increased a lot.

On the other hand, the siege troops below, knowing that there were enemy reinforcements coming from behind, deserted one by one, and many began to think about when to retreat.

"Report Master, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, brothers can't stand it anymore, why don't we retreat first." A staff officer came in from the outside, his face was covered with dirt, and he didn't bother to wipe it off.

"How could we withdraw like this, Haizhou City is about to be captured!" Zheng Junyan said unwillingly.

"Master, if you don't leave, I'm afraid the enemy will attack from front to back. If you want to leave at that time, it will be too late!" Seeing Zheng Junyan's appearance, the staff officer hurriedly persuaded him again.

"Yes, let's evacuate the teacher's seat first, so we won't be afraid of running out of firewood if we keep the green hills." Other staff officers also began to persuade Zheng Junyan.

"Hey! Order the troops to retreat to Dayi Mountain!" Zheng Junyan hammered the table angrily and ordered the troops to retreat.

Seeing that Zheng Junyan gave the order to retreat, his staff officers were busy packing their things one by one.

"By the way, don't forget to report to Baibaoshan and tell him the situation here." Zheng Junyan can still think about Baibaoshan at this time, this person is not bad.

When Bai Baoshan received the letter sent by Zheng Junyan, he was about to let his subordinates who had eaten something take down the opponent's troops with all their might.

Looking at the troops on the opposite side, Bai Baoshan knew that he had been tricked by others, but it was too late. There was no way for Haizhou to take it back. He had to retreat south first, and then find a way.

In this way, Baibaoshan's troops stared at each other's troops for several hours, and then withdrew in desperation.

After Haizhou was safe, the Anhui Third Army left a division in Haizhou, and the other division rushed to Qingjiangpu to support Zhang Lufeng.

Volume 34 Triple Legs Chapter [-] The Great War in the Central Plains

Sun Chuanfang was very angry when he learned that Jiang Dengxuan's troops had returned to the battlefield after rest, and immediately sent a telegram to Feng Yuxiang, speaking very harshly.

"On that day, you took the initiative to contact me and said that you will change your past. Today, I have been fighting the enemy for more than a month, but I have not seen you firing a single shot. Do you want to be a fisherman?!"

Sun Chuanfang guessed right, Feng Yuxiang regretted it after contacting Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang.During this period of time, Zhang Zuolin kept sending people to lobby him, promising him benefits, and using the territory in Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hubei as conditions in exchange for Feng Yuxiang's support.He also said that he was willing to recommend him as the vice president and chairman of the East China region.

Feng Yuxiang was very moved when he heard these conditions. Since ancient times, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been rich and prosperous places, and it is naturally great to have these two places as territories.However, he also knew that Zhang Zuolin might be delaying the time now, and he would clean himself up as soon as the army arrived.

Just when he was indecisive, Sun Chuanfang sent this telegram. To be honest, this telegram had no effect on him, but the arrival of a telegram immediately after that made him make up his mind to send troops!

As mentioned above, Guo Songling began to be dissatisfied with the old forces within the Feng Clan, mainly because his own interests were not met.Originally Zhang Zuolin planned to let him be the governor of Anhui, and Jiang Deng was elected as the governor of Jiangsu.However, Yang Yuting, who had been serving as the chief of staff, wanted to become a warlord. Zhang Zuolin trusted Yang Yuting very much and got closer, so he gave Jiangsu to Yang Yuting.It's so hard to die, Zhang Xueliang told Guo Songling about Guo Songling's ability to be the governor of Anhui.

Guo Songling is very happy to know that he can be the warlord. After all, he is the only one of the Five Tigers of Fengjun who has not yet been found.Just as he was happily waiting to take office, Guo Songling was dumbfounded when the official order came down. There was no name on it, and Yang Yuting cut it off.

How can he not hate the toothache, and then wrote a letter to Zhang Zuolin, the content is roughly: Now our territory in the Northeast is large enough, there is no need to go south to occupy Jiangsu, Anhui and other places.After all, these sites have already been promised to Duan Qirui, and if you occupy them again, Duan Qirui will be unhappy, and it will also irritate Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, which is not a good thing.Let's develop our strength in the Northeast, wait until the Central Plains changes and then enter the customs, then we can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

How could Zhang Zuolin listen to him? Zhang Zuolin thought that Guo Songling was a typical mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying grapes were sour, so he ignored him.

After learning of the letter written by Guo Songling, Yang Yuting, Jiang Dengxuan and others who were originally dissatisfied with him didn't want to see him even more at this time. After the incident, Feng Yuxiang sent Han Fuju to Japan to watch the autumn exercise.Secretly, Han Fuju kept sending people and contacting Guo Songling personally.

Over time, the relationship between the two became much closer, and Guo Songling revealed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Zuolin in his words.Han Fuju began to win over Guo Songling.Although Guo Songling was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin, he never thought of rebelling against him, but gradually under the influence of Han Fuju, his thoughts began to change.The last straw that overwhelmed him was that Han Fuju told him that Li Jinglin had agreed to rebel, and Feng Yuxiang would also give his full support behind.

Guo Songling weighed for a long time, and finally decided to agree to rebel, but he had to choose a suitable time.

Sun Chuanfang sent troops to Jiangsu and Anhui, but Yang Yuting retreated without a fight, losing three reorganized divisions, which caused a national shock.Zhang Xueliang sent him a telegram to tell him to return home quickly, but Guo Songling excused his illness and was unable to leave.

Zhang Xueliang knew that he was still awkward, so he ordered someone to rush to Japan with his personal letter.So Guo Songling agreed to return to the country. When he arrived in Fengtian, he suggested to Zhang Zuolin to withdraw all the troops to the pass. His idea was that this was the last chance for Zhang Zuolin. If he agreed, he would not oppose it. go one way.

Guo Songling's suggestion made Zhang Zuolin very angry, and now he is preoccupied with how to send troops to pass.If you open your mouth and want to return all the troops, then the two years of fighting are not in vain.Besides, how can there be a big president who lives in a corner!Zhang Zuolin did not adopt Guo Songling's opinion at all. Instead, he organized Li Jinglin and Guo Songling's troops into the first front army, preparing to go south.

Guo Songling's last efforts were in vain, and when he returned to Tianjin, he signed the secret tripartite agreement.

Zhang Zuolin didn't know about this matter, so he flew to Beijing by plane to prepare to command the battle.If Feng Yuxiang is savvy, that is of course very good, joint operations, if Feng Yuxiang is not savvy, then his 30 troops will go south, and we will clean him up first.

Feng Yuxiang decided to send troops when he learned that Guo Songling agreed to fight against Feng. At this time, another person was also willing to form an alliance, and Feng Yuxiang felt more at ease.This person was Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan had been in Shanxi for a few years and had grown into a strong army, and he was about to make a big splash.

Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin sent people to win him over at the same time. Zhang Zuolin promised him Henan, while Feng Yuxiang gave him the entire Northwest.Yan Xishan didn't think he had much chance of winning by facing the Northwest Army, but when he learned that Guo Songling and Li Jinglin also agreed to fight back, he suddenly found that things were not that difficult.Once he and Feng Yuxiang were in trouble, Shandong became a dumpling in the pot.After taking Shandong, hundreds of thousands of troops headed west, and the Northwest Army couldn't resist it.

Yan Xishan finally agreed to sign the alliance, and the Anti-Feng Alliance was formally formed since then.

Sun Chuanfang, the commander-in-chief of the five-provincial coalition forces, has a total force of 40, Feng Yuxiang of the National Army has more than 20 troops, and Yan Xishan has more than 20 troops, plus the 20 troops of Guo Songling and Li Jinglin. public.

On the other hand, the Feng army now has 30 troops selected by Zhang Zongchang and Jiang Deng in the pass, 30 troops outside the pass, and 15 troops in Zhang Anle, a total of 75.

It seems that there is a big gap between the strength of the two sides, but the ones that can actually be used in combat are very good. Sun Chuanfang claims to have 40 troops, but the number of troops actually drawn to the front line is less than 15. 20 can be used to fight and count, plus Guo and Li's 10, the participating troops are 20.

As for the Fengjun, 30 of the 20 inside the pass are now on the front line. Zhang Zuolin has mobilized 20 people from outside the pass. Zhang Anle has deployed 6 divisions with 10 troops on the front line. Fengjun also has 50 troops participating in the battle.

On November 1925, 11, when Zhang Lufeng and Yao Ji were fighting fiercely with Ma Yuren's troops in Qingjiangpu, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan issued a declaration of rebellion and joined the anti-Feng coalition forces. The troops officially exchanged fire.

On the same day, Zhang Zuolin announced that Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan were rebels and would mobilize 30 troops to put down the rebellion.

Zhang Anle's Northwest Army responded positively, and six divisions attacked Shanxi, Henan, and Hubei provinces at the same time.

Since the main battlefields of this war were parts of Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu, this war was called the Central Plains War.

Volume 35 Triple Legs Chapter [-] Golden Silkworm Shelling

Zhang Zuolin was under a lot of pressure these days, as if overnight, he became the public enemy of the whole world, and everyone united against him.This newly built presidential palace has not been built for a long time, and I have only been there for two months. Is it possible that I am about to leave.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the guard came to report.

"The President's Japanese advisor Machino Takema asks to see you."

"What does Machino want to see me at this time, let him in." Zhang Zuolin said.

"It's been a long time, Your Excellency President." Machino smiled and bowed to Zhang Zuolin. His Chinese can be said to be well-spoken, and Zhang Zuolin only hired him as a consultant. A large part of the reason is that there is no problem in communicating with him. .

"Hehe, Mr. Machino, you're welcome. Do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Zuolin knew that there was nothing good for Japan to come to him at this time, and the Japanese always took advantage of others' dangers.

"I have something very important to tell His Excellency the President." Machino put away his smiling face and said with a serious expression.

"Just tell me what's going on." Zhang Zuolin's heart skipped a beat when he saw Machino getting serious.

"Guo Songling and Li Jinglin are planning to rebel, do you know?"

Machino's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Zhang Zuolin stood up immediately.

"What did you say! Say it again!" Zhang Zuolin almost roared.

Machino is very satisfied with Zhang Zuolin's response, only in this way can the Great Japanese Empire gain the greatest benefit.

"Guo Songling and Li Jinglin are planning to rebel." Machino repeated what he had just said.
