Yan Xishan took the young officers of the Jin army as the main force and fought bravely. Shanxi Governor Shang Zhen issued a notice to the Jin people to govern the Jin people to save Jin. Shanxi people immediately supported the Jin army and joined the army or formed a self-rescue team.__//For a moment, the whole Shanxi seemed to have become a battlefield, and Zhang Zuolin's idea of ​​quick battle and quick decision was not realized. Shanxi under Yan Xishan's notice could not be said to be rich, but in the north where wars were endless, it was also considered a land of happiness. Even if there were bandits, beards, robbers, horses and bandits, there were not many bandits, beards, robbers, horses and bandits, the people were still passing by, but the tax was higher. Many Shanxi people still thought Shanxi was better when they saw the wars outside. Therefore, when they learned that the Northwest Army invaded Shanxi, in order to preserve their family business and prevent the poor Shaanxi people from entering Shanxi, the Jin people rose up to resist, and the war in the whole Shanxi sounded, and Zhang Zuolin fell into the people's war and suffered a lot. Chapter of the novel

Before the Battle of Zhi and Anhui, the Northwest Army and the Jin faction fought first. This matter seemed a bit unexpected, but in fact it was tied to interests. The benefit of the Northwest Army's attack on Shanxi was that Zhi and Anhui could fight each other with peace of mind. However, the main battlefield of Zhi and Anhui was very dramatic. It was quarreled for more than a year before the war, and the two sides fought hard. The real battle ended in only five days. The entire Battle of Zhi and Anhui was killed or injured by only two thousand people.

The Anhui clique formed two routes: the East Route Army and the West Route Army. The East Route Army was directly commanded by Xu Shuzheng, the West Route Army was commanded by Duan Zhigui, and Duan Qirui was in Tianjin waiting for the chapter.

At this time, the leader of the Zhili Army, Cao Kun also moved the headquarters base to Handan County, Zhili, and formed the headquarters of the Anti-Rebellion Army with the Zhili Army. His generals Wu Peifu, Cao Ying, Cao Rui, Wang Chengbin, Yan Xiangwen, Xiao Yaonan, Peng Shouxin and others issued a telegram to officially use troops to the central government. Cao Kun knew that his troops were not as good as Wu Peifu. So he appointed Wu Peifu as the deputy commander of the Anti-Rebellion Army and commander of the Qianlu Army, but he himself did not command the army.

Wu Peifu first activated the hero Feng Yuxiang to defend Kaifeng and prevent Zhang Zuolin from fighting. At the same time, Wu Peifu also divided the army into two routes. In order to show the difference from the Anhui faction, he became the Forward Route Army and the Back Route Army. Wu Peifu was the commander-in-chief of the Forward Route Army and personally led the Third Division of the Direct Army, the Third Division of the Direct Army, the Direct Army, to fight against Duan Zhigui's West Route Army. The Commander of the Direct Army was Wang Chengbin, the famous direct general of the Direct Army, and met the Most Elite Eastern Route Army of the Anhui faction.

Two days ago, the two sides fought several times, and the rear of the Zhili Army was defeated by the Anhui Army. The Zhili Army, especially Wu Peifu, thought that the soldiers who were in their army were strictly disciplined and strictly trained, and they would definitely win in one battle, but they did not expect that they would be defeated by Xu Shuzheng's five mixed brigades in a battle with the Northeast Army before the New Year. After returning, the commanders worked hard to strengthen. The Anhui Army knew the shame and then bravely trained again. Instead, they defeated the Zhili Army and retreated thirty miles. Wang Chengbin ordered one to resist. One ambushed the south bank of the Daqing River tributary. The Anhui Army dispatched only two aircraft to investigate. One of them failed to take off shortly after the mechanical failure and crashed. The other aircraft detected Wang Chengbin's actions and returned to report to Xu Shuzheng.

After Xu Shuzheng learned of this information, he sent Wang Chengbin, the 15th Division of Liu Xun Army, to block it. Wang Chengbin's troops had to retreat and fight fiercely. The Eastern Route Army won a great victory, and the Tianjin Anhui faction was filled with joy.

On the third day, Wu Peifu's general Xiao Yaonan led two mixed brigades to the rear brigades to support the army. They resisted Xu Shuzheng's five mixed brigades and Liu Xun's 15th Army Division. The two sides fought fiercely day and night in the Gaobeidian area. The Anhui army played a triumphant song. Xu Shuzheng was a little lost. The Zhizhi Xiao Yao stationed a defense line with a mixed brigade in the south, and the other troops slowly retreated and counterattacked Liu Xun's 15th Army Division. The two sides fought fiercely in Mahe Village for the whole morning. The direct artillery fire was sharp, and Liu Xun's troops took a risk of advancing lightly and were surrounded. Liu Xun himself was almost captured. With the assistance of the Anhui Li Ruzhang's brigade, the two sides formed a confrontation.

When the eastern roads of Zhi and Anhui were in full swing along the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway, Wu Peifu personally led the most elite third division. The Henan Army and the Western Route Army of the Anhui faction were met. The leader in front was Zhang Zongchang's 6th Mixed Brigade. On the first day, Zhang Zongchang's troops were defeated by the Henan Army of 20 battalions of Zhao Ti, Henan because of his pity for feathers. Duan Zhigui was furious and removed Zhang Zongchang's brigade commander. He immediately appointed his confidant Hou Zhen as the 6th Mixed Brigade, and at the same time cooperated with the 19th Mixed Brigade to launch a counterattack against the Zhi faction.

Wu Peifu ordered Zhao Ti's Henan Army to hold his position for two days, and he himself led Zhang Xizhen's troops from the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division to suddenly jumped into the Western Route Army Command overnight. At this time, the temporary first mixed brigade of the defeated general Qu Tongfeng. Qu Tongfeng, Duan Zhigui and others did not expect that Wu Peifu, who was fighting fiercely on the front line, actually led his troops to attack his headquarters. Several Anhui generals were sitting together playing mahjong, boasting about what kind of rewards you will receive after this great victory in the Anhui faction.

Suddenly, when he heard the shouts from outside, the generals were frightened. When the guards said that the direct army had come, everyone panicked. However, Qu Tongfeng was quite experienced and immediately changed into a soldier's clothes and ran away. Duan Zhigui slipped slowly because he was not experienced enough, and as a result, he was captured alive by Wu Peifu and lost all his face.

When the Anhui Eastern Route Army was playing a triumphant song, the Western Route Army was defeated and defeated. Wu Peifu immediately turned the gun and surrounded the Anhui Eastern Route Army. Wang Chengwu also reorganized six mixed brigades to counterattack Xu Shuzheng's troops. Both sides were encircled and were later robbed. Especially the Anhui Eastern Route Army, which was captured by Wu Peifu, had to retreat and withdraw to Shandong.

At this time, the war lasted only five days, and the two armies of the Anhui clique, which claimed to be 300,000, were defeated and surrounded. The elite troops of the Anhui clique were either lost or fled in sight. Duan Qirui was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he took the train back to Beijing, preparing to fight with the Zhi clique at the city of Beijing.

At this time, Wang Maoru, who was in charge of the Changchun National Defense Forces Command, was also very conflicted. Now, two factions of main war and main peace have been formed. The main war faction is mainly soldiers, and the main peace faction is mainly government officials. However, what Wang Maoru is more skillful than Yuan Shikai is that his control over the army has not relaxed from beginning to end. Anyone who is willing to directly oppose the command of the superior will be handed over to the MIIS.

The government has formed a mechanism for supervising the appointment of officials of various parties. Wang Maoru can use political parties to order officials to be exempted at any time. After all, there is no official who does not make mistakes. The Chinese people's enthusiasm for being an official is the most pious in the world. Wang Maoru never lacks officials, which also leads to officials needing Wang Maoru's support even more. Creating conflicts and troubles for their subordinates, but keeping such troubles within their own effective range is not a foolish leader, but a means.

As for sending troops, the meaning of the army is very obvious. Only war is the opportunity to earn credit. Moreover, a group of arrogant generals believe that they can fight with foreign countries, let alone other warlords, so they all demanded that they make achievements. The government politicians hoped that the committee would invest a lot of money in construction and wrote letters to not go out of seclusion. One outside the Northeast already made their finances tight.

Wang Maoru looked at the Republic of China seriously, his heart was overturned, and he calculated the gains and losses of entering the pass or not.

Jiang Fangzhen said worriedly: "Xiu Shuai, don't you really want to enter the country now, right?"

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "The army is only used for a thousand days, but is the time to go down? Maybe the most important thing is Japan, Japan."

Yong Xingbao smiled and said, "If there were no Japan, what would be the central government's undesirable?" He is now becoming more and more familiar with the General Staff Department. His experience of studying in European countries has also made his views more radical. In the past, the main war faction of the General Staff Department was Guo Songling, but now he has become Yong Xingbao and has received a lot of support from some young staff.

Jiang Fangzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know Xiushuai's concerns, so I firmly oppose moving into the central government at this time."

At this time, the Director of Translation and Communications Li Wenbin ran in in a hurry and saluted: "Showshuai, happy event."

"Why are you happy?" Wang Maoru asked.

Li Wenbin handed the note and said, "Please look at it."

The biggest difference between Li Wenbin and Ma Liang is not that he has a small responsibility, but that he is a careful and more cautious person. If Ma Liang is happy to report the news, Li Wenbin handed the top secret information to Wang Maoru. In this detail, Li Wenbin is more careful than Ma Liang. Of course, Ma Liang's loyalty to Wang Maoru is also what Wang Maoru feels at ease with him. In several aspects, none of the two is stronger.

Wang Maoru looked down and found that it was information coming from Japan that Australia actually took action, forcibly expelled some Japanese expatriates and reclaimed state-owned assets such as oil mines, coal mines and iron mines.

Seeing the news, Britain, Japan and Australia fought hard, Wang Maoru was overjoyed and slapped his thighs and said, "Okay, okay, okay, now we can get out of seclusion." He handed it to Jiang Fangzhen and Yong Xingbao. After reading it, Yong Xingbao laughed and said, "Okay, the Japanese are in trouble, that's good. But Xiushuai, the army is famous for its troops coming out of seclusion."

Wang Maoru looked at Jiang Fangzhen again, and Jiang Fangzhen thought more and said, "Peiyu is right. He can only be famous for his masters. I don't know what the great powers think, especially Japan, Britain and the United States."

Wang Maoru said: "We have no contact with the British. Americans should support us very much. But the Japanese. Now that the Anhui clan is not good, they definitely do not want the pro-English and French direct clans to come to power. Britain and Japan are so conflicted now. The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend. The Japanese should acquiesce to us and will not make trouble now."

Yong Xingbao said: "The Japanese are all focusing on Australia at this time, otherwise how could the Anhui faction be defeated so quickly and thoroughly? Xiushuai, I think our name should be to protect the country and safe people, and to maintain stability in the Zhili people."

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "It is just a banner to protect the country and the people. In fact, it is just a fist to speak." Then Wang Maoru asked Zhao Zengfu whether the Qilin Legion was ready. Zhao Zengfu immediately replied that he could go south at any time to wait. To be continued...
