Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

The Northwest Revolutionary Army received good news of successive victories, while on the other side, the Shenlong Special Operations Team had successfully infiltrated Yunzhou.

With the help of Wang Xiangdong, they were temporarily settled in Zhongshan County.

Su Zhengyang's sister Su Zhenghong, worried about Wang Xiangdong's safety, did not go to Linzhou in the northwest for the time being. Instead, she planned to go to the northwest with Wang Xiangdong after the plan was completed.

"The military aid from the Fuso Empire will be transported by train from the Yunjing Railway Line to Xiongshan City in the east of Yunzhou, and then from Qiongshan City, it will be transported by military trucks through Zhongshan County and into Yongzhou."

"Our plan is to strike when they have finished resting in Zhongshan County and are preparing to leave the county. The location of our strike is Bailian Mountain to the west of Zhongshan County. The terrain here is steep and it is easier to set up an ambush. In addition, our 711th Regiment will escort them out of Zhongshan County according to the orders of the higher-ups, so they should not be wary."

After listening to Wang Xiangdong's words, Li Yunlong nodded.

"There is nothing wrong with this plan. We will first ambush the two regimental combat units responsible for escorting the convoy. Once the gunfire starts, you can attack them directly from the inside. There is a great hope that you can catch them off guard and directly capture the combat units of the two regiments."

Wang Xiangdong frowned and said, "I only have one regiment of combat troops here, and you have a total of 300 people. We must inflict heavy damage on them as soon as possible, otherwise once they stabilize their position, we may not be their opponent."

"Tomorrow I will go to Bailian Mountain to observe the actual situation, check out the situation, and arrange the ambush site in advance. Then we can act according to the plan."

Outside the Wang family ancestral home, a middle-aged man wearing a tattered leather coat was carrying a shoulder pole with two baskets of sesame cakes hanging on both ends, and was selling sesame cakes on Laobei Street.

But his eyes would occasionally glance towards the gate of the Wang family's ancestral home. In the past few days, many unfamiliar small vendors had appeared on the street near the Wang family's ancestral home on Laobei Street. Their disguise was quite good, but they could deceive others but not Yan Shuangying's sharp eyes.

After shouting for half a day, the man selling sesame cakes twisted and turned, walked through the streets and alleys, came to the door of a dilapidated house in a small alley, and knocked on the door.

The sound of his knocking on the door was very regular, three long and two short. After a while, the gate was opened a crack. The person inside looked through the crack and saw that it was the man selling sesame cakes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person inside opened the door and let the man selling sesame cakes into the yard. Then he stuck his head out and looked around for a while, making sure that no one was following him. Only then did he turn around and close the gate with relief.

Just as he closed the door, Yan Shuangying, who was dressed in coarse cloth, was sitting on the roof opposite the house deep in the alley, frowning thoughtfully. After a moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"How is Apeng?"

"Captain, Wang Xiangdong seems to have no intention of returning to the barracks these days. He has settled down in the Wang family's ancestral home, and he has brought a guard company with him. If we act now, we will have no chance at all."

Sitting on a chair in the main room, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face patted the armrest of the chair.

"Tnd, how could this matter be so cruel? We just arrived in Zhongshan County and wanted to take action against Su Zhenghong, but Wang Xiangdong simply stayed in the house and refused to leave. Could it be that he noticed our intention to take action against Su Zhenghong?"

"Captain, I don't think so. These past few days, some unidentified people have entered the Wang family's ancestral home and met with Wang Xiangdong. I think Wang Xiangdong is probably plotting something shameful in private."

There was a thoughtful look in the captain's eyes.

"Captain, these people give me the feeling that they are either soldiers or bandits from the mountains. Especially the leader, who has murderous intent in his eyes. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Where on earth did these people come from? What is their intention in suddenly contacting Wang Xiangdong? I feel like there must be a big secret hidden here."

"In this case, let's not rush to attack Su Zhenghong. Let Monkey and the others keep a close eye on them and find a way to find out their identities. When the military aid from the Fusang Empire arrives in Zhongshan County, Wang Xiangdong will definitely lead his troops to escort them. It won't be too late for us to attack Su Zhenghong then."

"The captain is truly wise and has a brilliant mind."

"Stop flattering me, go out and buy some wine and some good food. Let's have some meat today."

These people were all spies from the Jiangbei Intelligence Bureau under the command of the warlord Pang. There were 20 people in total, forming a special operations team whose purpose was to come to Zhongshan County, Yunzhou, and take away Su Zhengyang's sister Su Zhenghong.

Unfortunately, Yan Shuangying had already arrived in Zhongshan County, and Wang Xiangdong had recently been living in the Wang family's ancestral home with his guard company for a long time, which resulted in them not being able to find any opportunity to take action.

After a while, the big man who was selling sesame cakes changed his clothes, pushed the door open and walked out, heading towards the Tianhong Restaurant in the city.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Shuangying followed him again and came to Tianhong Restaurant. The big man bought a pork head, two roast chickens, and some other meat dishes. Carrying two jars of roast pork, he hummed a little tune and walked towards the house where he came from.

When he reached the edge of an alley, Yan Shuangying rushed forward unexpectedly, snatched the roast chicken from his hand, turned around and ran deep into the alley.

"How dare you dare to mess with the gods? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"

The big man was stunned at first, then he started cursing angrily and chased after Yan Shuangying without hesitation.

Deep in the alley, Yan Shuangying threw the roast chicken in his hand aside, turned around, and looked at the big man who was chasing him with a calm expression.

"Run, you little bastard. Why don't you run? There's no way out, right? Today, Grandpa will let you know why the flowers are so red. You dare to snatch food from Grandpa, you are really looking for death!"

The big man put the thing in his hand at his feet and walked towards Yan Shuangying with his fists rubbed.

The big man walked up to Yan Shuangying and threw a fierce straight punch at Yan Shuangying's face.

In his opinion, Yan Shuangying in front of him was thin and not very tall, and if he punched him, he would definitely see stars.

Yan Shuangying sneered, dodged the punch by turning sideways, grabbed the big man's wrist with his right hand, pulled it along, and tripped him.

With a thud, the big man was tripped by Yan Shuangying and flew two or three meters away. He fell flat on his face, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and let out a muffled groan.

The big man was so angry that he was about to get up and teach Yan Shuangying a lesson.

Suddenly, the dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at the back of his head.

The big man suddenly froze all over, not daring to move at all, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Brother, I am just a peddler selling sesame cakes. If you want to eat meat, you can take these wine and food. Don't make things difficult for me. Please spare my life!"
