    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but take a breath when they heard this.

    Although Lechang is a small mountainous county in northwest Guangdong, it has a population of hundreds of thousands.  The Chinese people have always been known for their hard work. In addition, the population increased sharply in the late Qing Dynasty and land annexation was serious. Who knows how many people were trying to find opportunities to open up wasteland in this poor mountain and harsh rivers?  It is said that "water and fire have no mercy." Once the fire spreads, who knows how many people will suffer from this unreasonable disaster and be buried in the sea of ????fire?

    Deng Xihou said: "Although this plan is feasible, the killing is too heavy. Even if you have contributed to the country now, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the ridicule of history books in the future!"

    But Maoxin said coldly: "Commander Deng, the soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous. How can there be no battle without death in the past? And there is a clear saying in ancient times that 'kindness does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth.' If you and I really have the fear of sweeping the floor,  Why do you have to travel thousands of miles to this strange place if you have a compassionate heart that hurts the lives of ants and cherishes moths and shades of lamps? Wouldn't it be better to simply eat at home, chant the Buddha's name, and recite 'The world is peaceful'?"

    Liu Mingzhao did not comment on Dan Maoxin's ridicule, and turned to Yang Bojian and asked: "What is the advice of Brigadier Zihui?"

    Yang Bojian replied: "The suggestions made by the two regiment commanders Jinkang and Hanqun just now are quite advisable, but we have also seen that whether it is from the mountain road or from the river valley, there are dangers, and if it fails, the troops will be lost. Chief of Staff Nu Gang suggested  The fire attack was more instructive and taught Zhu a lot. Regardless of whether the fire attack has Qian Tianhe or not, I am afraid that it will be very difficult in actual operation. First, this type of aviation incendiary bomb weighs 500 kilograms, which is extremely inconvenient to transport.  , now we only have a few in hand. If we want to burn out the jungle vegetation around the more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads, it will take at least ten or twenty, and then we have to transfer them from Shaanxi now. The situation in Guangdong is changing day by day.  Are we allowed to wait until then?

    "Secondly, this type of aviation incendiary bomb is extremely powerful, and the copper and iron of mountains and rocks will be burned immediately after being contaminated. After being burned by such a fierce flame, the rocks must be crisp and the soil will be soft everywhere, and it is still unclear whether pedestrians can continue. If a rockslide occurs,  How should we deal with blocking the road? So in my opinion, our current strategy should be based on the sentence in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu: The whole brigade is the first priority, and the broken brigade is the second."

    Only then did Liu Mingzhao smile knowingly: "Commander Zihui is right! 'Victory in a hundred battles is not a good thing; a man who subdues others without fighting is a good thing', so when we deal with Zhang Zicao, we should suppress him  Jing and Xiao use reason, and power uses military force."

    But Maoxin was a little confused: "What does the brigade commander mean?"

    Liu Mingzhao explained: "Although we are determined to win Guangdong, we are not the only ones who are determined to win Guangdong. Now that the intentions are clearer, there are Hu Zhantang who is still in love, Long Zicheng who is sending troops eastward, and secretly coveting the post of governor of Guangdong.  There are countless others, such as Zhong Bo'an (Zhong Dingji), commander of the first division of the Guangdong Army, and Su Ziqi (Su Shenchu), commander of the second division of the Guangdong Army, who hold military power. Do you think they will be tempted? Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. I guess  Brother Zhang Zicao, who is in front of us, also has some desires in his heart! This is one of the reasons why we have to calm down.

    "According to previous intelligence, Long Zicheng led his army eastward with a bounty on Hu, and his troops were directed towards Luoding and Zhaoqing, which were only three to five hundred miles away from Guangzhou. Hu Zhantang's fully constructed Xijiang defense line was simply vulnerable and could be defeated at any time.  There is no harmony between Zhang Zicao and Long Zicheng. Once the Xijiang defense line is breached, no matter what the relationship between Zhang Zicao and Hu Zhantang is, they will lead their troops back to Guangzhou. At that time, we can be energetic, take Shaoguan lightly, and go straight to Guangzhou. This is  The second reason why we need to calm down.¡±

    Lu Chaoqi said: "Brigadier, why did Zhang Zicao definitely return to support Guangzhou? As far as I know, Zhang Zicao is not a direct relative of Hu Zhantang, and the relationship between the two is limited to official business."

    Without waiting for Liu Mingzhao's answer, Yang Bojian took the initiative to explain: "The reason is very simple. If Zhang Zicao sticks to Shaoguan, no matter who comes to power, he will be just a side brigade commander who sits back and watches success or failure with different aspirations. After the political power is stabilized, he will definitely  He was replaced and purged; if he leads his troops back to Guangzhou, he can sell them for a price. If he loses, he can just lead his troops away. If he wins, he can prosper and even take the position of governor. Weighing the gains and losses of the two, the Han Dynasty  What choice would you make?"

    ¡°Of course we will return to Guangzhou!¡± Lu Chao also made the same choice.

    But Maoxin questioned: "Once the Xijiang defense line is defeated, Long Zicheng can lead his troops to Guangzhou; but our army must wait for news from Xijiang in Yizhang, and only after Zhang Zicao returns to Guangzhou can we cross Yunling and go from Shaoguan  And go to Guangzhou. The distance from Shaoguan to Guangzhou is more than twice as far as Zhaoqing to Guangzhou, and Long Zicheng has the upper hand. How can we fight this battle? What if Zhang Zicao causes any accidents on the road?  We will lose all our efforts!¡±

    Liu Mingzhao said: "After all, Hu Zhantang served as the governor of Guangdong for a year or two, and Guangdong is the home base of the revolutionaries. How could he also serve in the military?By gathering a group of die-hard loyalists, Long Zicheng would never be able to directly attack Guangzhou City.  If it really goes that smoothly, I'm afraid Long Zicheng should wonder if Hu Zhantang is playing some conspiracy!  Furthermore, around the time Long Zicheng broke through the Xijiang defense line, Zhang Zicao should have received Hu Zhantang's order to return to Guangzhou to aid, which already gave us enough time.  It only took a day or two for us to cross Yunling and reach Shaoguan. There is a train from Shaoguan to Guangzhou, and we can arrive in one day, which is completely in time.  As for what Zhang Zicao did on the railway, we have to guard against it, so we still need to be aware of it with reason and use force to intimidate him.  "

    Deng Xihou said: "Then what does the brigade commander plan to do next? Just like in the novel, first send a eloquent lobbyist to state the blessings and disadvantages. If Zhang Zicao persists, we will then raise an army to give them a chance.  How powerful is it? Just like when we pacified Hunan before, Premier Sun first sent people to lobby the Hunan governor Tan Zuan, and then sent planes to blow up their military uniform bureau. Finally, our soldiers came to the border, sweet dates and big sticks flew together, and the bombs were a threat.  , with three punches and two kicks, the whole territory of Hunan can be taken, saving countless troubles."

    Lu Chao also said: "Besides, our Premier Sun has always treated others well. The former Qing nurse Qian Ganchen (Qian Nengxun), the governor of Shaanxi Province, Lord Qian, the former staff officer of the Sixth Town Zhang Yuhe (Zhang Shiying) Governor Zhang, and the former Jin  Not to mention General Yao Zhishan (Yao Baolai), the Second Assistant Commander of the Guards, Tan Zuan, the current governor of Hunan, is a living example. Maybe Zhang Zicao will raise the flag and submit in a moment of excitement, and at least he can have a good death."

    Liu Mingzhao smiled and said: "What Jinkang and Han Qun said is generally true. We must be polite before fighting. However, it is more difficult to persuade Zhang Zicao to surrender. After all, he still covets the position of governor of Guangdong in his heart. It is estimated that Premier Sun will start  It¡¯s hard for him to be tempted by the price we offer for a brigade commander or a division commander, so how can he like the terms we offer?¡±

    But Maoxin said: "Then we might as well call Premier Sun and promise to give up the seat of governor of Guangdong to Zhang Zicao, and then our two brigade soldiers will work together to determine the entire province of Guangdong, and then slowly discuss the follow-up matters. By then  , he can be promoted to a certain department of the central government to serve as an insignificant deputy minister, or he can be transferred to a northwest province to serve as a titular governor. He can also be placed under house arrest, expelled from the province, exiled from the country, or even assassinated.  Bian, aren¡¯t we the ones who have the final say?¡±

    Liu Mingzhao, Deng Xihou and others were a little moved, but Yang Bojian poured cold water on it: "This must not be done! The reason why Tan Zuan can continue to serve as the governor is because he is a scholar. Although he is the governor, he does not control the military. Prime Minister Sun naturally  You can use it with confidence. Zhang Zicao is different. He is a soldier himself and has a brigade of troops in his hands. Moreover, he is from Guangdong and has deep connections in Guangdong Province. Once he becomes the governor, he will integrate and organize other troops in Guangdong Province.  The dragon entered the sea. Our brigade was alone in the guest area and had no control at all. At that time, it was still a matter of debate who should be eliminated!

    "To say the least, even if Zhang Zicao is gentle, courteous and thrifty and gets along peacefully with us, his strong position in Guangdong Province will be difficult to shake for a while. Guangdong is thousands of miles away from the capital, and he can completely ignore Premier Sun's orders in the future. If pressed, he will still  You can change the door and fall into the arms of Yuan Xiangcheng.

    "After wiping out the Revolutionary Party this time, only Premier Sun and Yuan Xiangcheng are the only two dominant families in the country. Yuan Xiangcheng's territory stretches from the two rivers to the north, covering the Central Plains and even the three eastern provinces. He has the best of both the North and the South, and his strength has increased several times compared to before! For  To restrain Yuan Xiangcheng, Premier Sun was busy attacking Guangdong and Guangdong from the south. Now that Hunan Governor Tan Zuan is still in office, Hunan has become a half-baked meal. If Guangdong continues to be half-baked, and the two provinces have poor government orders and follow the rules, how can they compete with Yuan Xiangcheng in the future? So?  Only by turning Guangdong into a mature nation can we force Hunan to be obedient!"

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads after hearing this.

    Deng Xihou asked again: "Brigadier, didn't you say that we still need to threaten them with troops? Now we are separated from Zhang Zicao's independent brigade by the Yunling Mountains. Even if we want to teach them a lesson, it is beyond our reach!"

    But Maoxin said: "Why has Commander Deng changed his temper again? Just now he was a Bodhisattva with a low eyebrow, but now he has become a vajra with angry eyes, ready for a big fight?"

    Deng Xihou said: "Although our Third Brigade has fought several small battles since its formation, they were all small-scale, and most of the time we won with weapons, numbers, and clever tactics. Although this can minimize the casualties of the troops,  But I always feel that the army lacks an inner spirit that has not been tempered by the baptism and tempering of wars and fierce battles! The earlier this kind of spirit is possessed, the more beneficial it will be to the army; the longer it is delayed, the more harm it will do to the army.  The bigger it is. It can be said that an army that has not experienced the test of death and artillery fire is not even a qualified army."

    "Isn't it easy to fight a big and fierce battle? The key is when to fight." Liu Mingzhao pointed at the location of Guangzhou on the map. "We will definitely have a fierce battle here, so we must try our best to save the battle before then."  Strength, including troops, guns and ammunition. As for the independent brigade separated by a mountain, if they don't know how to appreciate it, you might as well let them try what it means to 'fly' to cause trouble!"
