She suddenly raised her head and said to Li Xinghong and Sun Yong:

"Two generals, I want to immediately carry out comprehensive surveillance on the Li Mansion on Canal Road and Li Pinzhang himself, and find out the people who have been in contact with Mr. Li San recently. It is also best to send someone to keep an eye on the Li Mansion on the South Embankment of West Lake. This

Qing Lang is very resourceful, cunning, and has many eyes and ears. If he has a major conspiracy, it must be related to the Li family!"

"What, you are so brave!" Li Xinghong was furious, stood up and scolded sternly:

"Xu Yunyuan, who do you think you are? The people living in the Li Mansion on both sides are the family members of Marshal Chen Tianhua. On one side are the parents-in-law, and on the other side are the brothers-in-law. Moreover, they are both big men in the military and have military power. If they are not careful, then

It will really cause a turbulent situation! Let me tell you right now, at the time when Zhang Chuan entered the Li Mansion on Yunhe Road last night, I was meeting Li Pinzhang there, so you should start investigating from me!"

After saying that, he rolled his sleeves and left the military camp.

Xu Yunyuan was stunned. She didn't expect that there would be such a thing, which was a bit troublesome. She hurriedly said: "General Li, I didn't mean that."

Sun Yong, who had been silent beside him, stood up, grabbed Li Xinghong, and said in a deep voice:

"Xinghong, Director Xu didn't know that you entered Li's Mansion on Canal Road. She didn't mean to offend, so why should you be angry? Sit down first. This matter is not trivial. We must all proceed with caution. Besides, Marshal Chen Tianhua is not here.

Here, we must unite sincerely and not let him be distracted on the front line!"

Li Xinghong listened to Sun Yong's advice, sat down angrily, and coldly snorted:

"I firmly disagree that the Military Adjustment Department is monitoring Mr. Li San's Yunhe Road residence and Mr. Li's West Lake Nandi residence. Even if Chen Tianhua is here, I would have the same attitude in person. If this matter spreads out, both parties will be embarrassed.

, it will also cause great turmoil. Who will bear this responsibility then?"

Xu Yunyuan could only look at Sun Yong with a frown.

Zhang Chuan is a Japanese spy, and he seems to be planning a major conspiracy, but I don't know what it is, but there is obviously the shadow of the Japanese behind it.

This matter is of great importance.

But it is necessary to monitor Young Master Li in all aspects, not only to monitor the Li Mansion's official residence on Yunhe Road, but also to follow up daily. This move is too big, and the paper will not be able to cover up the fire. When Li Pinzhang gets angry, Mr. Li will not be able to stop him.

Good advice.

Xu Yunyuan cannot be left alone to do this, for fear that she will really use this matter to expand the situation infinitely. There are personal grudges mixed with official affairs. No matter what the truth is about the Li family, she will be involved in it.

"In this way, on the one hand, we quickly sent a top-secret message to the commander, explaining that Yuanwei asked for instructions first. Before getting a clear reply, I agreed to control it in a small area and conduct some investigations on Mr. Li San, but we are not allowed to send anyone to visit him.

Looking at the Li Mansion on the south embankment of West Lake."

"Old Sun! You..." Li Xinghong's eyebrows suddenly stood up.

Sun Yong smiled slightly and said with a grin: "But it is more appropriate to leave this matter to the Department of Internal Security. Yuan Fang himself is responsible for the military department, the suppression of counter-revolutionaries inside and outside the government, and the investigation and punishment of internal disciplinary violations and counter-espionage."

As soon as these words came out, both Li Xinghong and Xu Yunyuan were unexpected. They both looked at Sun Yong at the same time, their eyes full of doubts.

Sun Yong looked at the two of them calmly.

The room was silent for a long time, and finally Xu Yunyuan spoke first:

"In this case, I don't have much opinion. This is indeed the scope of the Department of Internal Health. However, I have a request, and I want to see the daily briefing."

Sun Yong smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Director Xu should have been informed, right? Xinghong?"

Li Xinghong snorted. This could be considered a compromise. Yuan Fang's Internal Security Department was asked to take charge of the matter. He could still grasp the scope of the matter and the size of the movement.

…

Just when everyone in Hangzhou Prefecture was carrying out a series of clean-up, rectification, detection and other operations around Zhang Chuan, the Japanese spy, on the front battlefield of Guide Prefecture in Henan Province, the Southern Army marched straight in with unstoppable momentum and high morale.

After the two cities of Suiyang and Yucheng were completely captured by the Huben Division, Shangqiu, the city of Guide Prefecture, was completely exposed to people's sight.

Huben Division's Yue Zefei Brigade and Zeng Xin's Cavalry Brigade did not care about other counties and towns in Guide Prefecture at all, but rushed straight towards Shangqiu City.

Along the way, some county defenders saw the Confederate army passing by. No one dared to go out to fight or stop them. They just huddled within the city wall and watched helplessly as the Huben Division dispatched and rushed towards Shangqiu City to encircle them.

Subsequently, Commander-in-Chief Philais's First Brigade also arrived and began to sweep the four surrounding counties. The last psychological defense line of the defenders in these counties was also defeated.

Finally, the defenders of two county towns surrendered after hearing the news, while the defenders of the other two counties close to Kaifeng Prefecture abandoned the city and fled.

Within a few days, Shangqiu turned into an isolated city, with all the bud-like castles around it being uprooted, and the Tiger Guards came to the city.

One day later, Luo Longyun left a brigade to guard Zhoukou. He personally led 8,000 cavalry and 15,000 additional infantry to rush to the gate of Shangqiu City, Guide Prefecture.

They were preparing to attack Kaifengfu City.

…

There was already chaos in Shangqiu City.

The Republican Army's advancing speed and combat strategy were completely beyond the expectations of Wang Yujia and all the Northern Army soldiers.

Shangqiu is the capital city of Guide. Although the dignitaries in the city have been packing their things and preparing to run away, the Confederate army arrived too quickly. Before they could pack up the gold and silver, the large army had already arrived at the city gates, blocking their escape.

way out.

Wang Yujia looked at Xu Ji who had fled back from Suiyang City in embarrassment, and had no idea of ​​punishing him.

At present, Xu Ji is already the most capable general under his command. He is better than Song Yu who abandoned the city and fled before the battle started.

But despite Xu Ji's desperate resistance, Suiyang City was still defeated with one blow. Tens of thousands of troops were defeated in a single battle in half a day.

Seeing the forest of banners under the city and the overwhelming military strength, Wang Yujia called Xu Ji in front of him, pointed at the city with a trembling voice, and muttered: "Xu Ji, what do you think we should do, how should we deal with the current situation?"

Xu Ji, who looked haggard, had barely had a good night's sleep in the past ten days, let alone a proper meal, and was always in a state of nervousness.

Seeing the tens of thousands of Confederate troops surrounding the city, he gritted his teeth and stated to Wang Yujia:

"General, the Southern Army's Huben Division is too ferocious. We are no match at all. Our current plan is to rely on the tall and solid Shangqiu City and its wide and deep moat to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Presumably Duke Duan does not want to see us.

Destroyed by the Confederate Army."

"Once Shangqiu City falls, the two cities of Xuzhou and Kaifeng will not be able to coordinate with each other, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the Northern Army. The reinforcements must be on the way. As long as we persist for a while, we will be saved as soon as Duan Gong's reinforcements arrive!
