Chapter 513

These two days, the capital was particularly lively. Governor Fu and governor long made two more speeches in the capital for two consecutive days.

This time, it is not a place that ordinary people can't get into, but two places, Capital University and the National Military Academy. Not only that, they were both interviewed by the capital newspaper, so that almost all the young people in the whole capital would be bombed.

Young students petitioned the cabinet and the military for official support to the northwest. The cabinet and the military headquarters were not idle. They held meetings, quarrels, quarrels and meetings for two days.

In the large conference room of the military headquarters, Lou Yun leisurely sat at the front of the conference table drinking tea and watching the generals in the next room quarrel.

Perhaps the mood of watching the excitement was too obvious, and the people who couldn't quarrel finally stopped and looked at the old man in the first place.

Someone asked, "Lou Lao, what do you think?"

Lou Yun smiled and said, "I'm an old bone. What else can I think of? It's not all your young people's world in the future? Just do it." naturally, the people who can sit in this conference room are not young, but compared with Lou Yun, they can really be young people.

A general who disagreed with supporting the northwest frowned and said, "after all, old Lou is the commander of the military headquarters. Your statement is still very important. I heard... Lou Shao went to Jiazhou a few days ago?"

No one told Lou Lanzhou about going to Jiazhou. When they knew, Lou Lanzhou had already temporarily resigned from all his posts in the capital. This puzzled the people in the military headquarters. Even if Lou Lanzhou wanted to go to Jiazhou or northwest China to help, there was no need to resign from his post in the capital. In this way, wouldn't it be troublesome to come back and resume work after the northwest incident?

Lou Yun didn't care much and said, "you said Lan Zhou? Young people want to go out and break through, but I can't stop them. Now there are all of you in the capital, and he can't be of great use. It's nothing to let him go out and have some trouble."

They looked at each other, but several of Lou Yun's close subordinates had a different meaning from the middle grade.

Loujiajun was the most important thing for loulao. His children and grandchildren are useless. He can only train loulanzhou as a successor in the future. Now it seems that you don't care about Lou Jiajun?

They are all from the army. They don't know how important it is to have soldiers and guns in their hands.

In that case, it can only show that Lou Lao himself is not optimistic about the military headquarters and Lou Jiajun. Is he paving the way for his grandson?

Some people wanted to ask, but others were impatient and said in a deep voice, "now is not the time to discuss these. The key is the northwest. Our military headquarters can't keep silent?"

Lou Yun smiled at the speaker. "How are you going to make a statement? Tell the students in Beijing... This is the Song family's business, not the military headquarters?"

"...." the people were silent. If they really dared to say so, the people in the capital might be able to rush directly into the military headquarters to kill them. In the future, they had to be careful of being thrown rotten eggs.

Lou Yun smiled and said, "so, what can you argue about? The cabinet heard that the constitution has been issued. You can do it yourself."

Now no one speaks.

Yes, although the capital and warlords everywhere despise each other, there are contradictions between the cabinet and the military headquarters in the capital. If the cabinet says it wants to strongly support the northwest, but the military headquarters refuses, the consequences can be imagined.

There was an awkward silence in the conference room when someone suddenly pushed the door of the conference room open.

Without waiting for the people inside to get angry, a man in uniform came in solemnly holding a message. He even forgot to shout, "general, northwest emergency!"

Lou Yun pulled through the message in the young man's hand. After reading it, his face became gloomy for a moment.

The person next to him asked carefully, "Lou Lao, what's the matter?"

Lou Yun raised his eyes and looked a little cold. He glanced at the people and said in a deep voice, "The third regiment of the northwest army made a mistake in command and the whole army was defeated. As a direct result, the second and fourth regiments fell into an ambush by Dayin people, including song Lang, major commander of the Song family. At present, Dayin people have crossed the northwest border. The first and fifth armies in the northwest followed song ye and tangled with Sun Liang's coalition forces. The fifth regiment guarded Ningcheng, the capital of the northwest. The sixth regiment is stationed in the southeast, and the seventh and eighth regiments are second-class regiments , I'm afraid I can't stop the Dayin people. At the current speed of the Dayin people, we can advance to Ningcheng, the capital of the northwest in less than ten days. "

The meeting room was silent. According to their estimation of the strength of the Song family, even if they couldn't fight, they could support it for at least two more months. No one expected that the change would come so quickly!

Someone immediately said, "old Lou, you can immediately order nearby soldiers to rush for help. At least... You can't let Dayin people occupy Ningcheng!" Occupying Ningcheng means that Dayin people occupy most of the northwest. This is not just a matter of losing face. Once Ningcheng is lost, it will be difficult to get it back. As long as they can make it in time, even if Dayin people enter the country, they will gather enough reinforcements and push it back.

Some people are not so optimistic, "the nearest garrison is Jiazhou, but... Jiazhou has just fought a war and suffered a disaster recently. It is being reorganized, and there are not many troops at all."

Dayin is not a small border country, but a large country with a large area.

Since ancient times, the struggle between Dayin people and Anxia people has never stopped. However, Yin people suffered more losses in Anxia and took less advantages. They have turned around and developed westward in recent 100 years.

Otherwise, it is unrealistic to say that the Northwest can resist Dayin with one force for so many years.

Lou Yun stood up and said, "gentlemen, the Legion level generals go to the cabinet with me." no one raised any objection this time. Although they are very concerned about their own interests, it is impossible for them to watch the Dayin people occupy the Northwest for this. I was not in a hurry before. I just thought the Song family could resist. Of course, the weaker the local forces like the Song family are, the better. When the Song family can't support it, they can't do it again.

Lengsa had returned to Jiazhou when he received the news. The horse bandit leader in Fucheng was solved. The remaining shrimps naturally did not need Mrs. Fu Shao to sit in the town. What they want now is to keep the railway to the northwest unblocked.

However, Mrs. Fu Shao's suppression of the horse bandits who had been entrenched in the city for many years in a few days still caused a sensation in Jiazhou. From the generals of the Jiazhou army to ordinary officials and rich businessmen, she became more and more aware.

Suddenly received such bad news, lengsa almost blacked out. He quickly calmed his mind and sent word to Lou Lanzhou and song Boang to come back.

There were only a few people in the conference room, but the atmosphere was particularly heavy.

Fu Yucheng sat at the end of the table and saw that the people present didn't speak. It was not his turn to speak on such an occasion. He just mixed in as a spectator by relying on the four shaos of the Fu family and the current part-time lengsa adjutant.

Lou Lanzhou raised her hand and pinched the center of her eyebrows, putting down her telegram.

When I looked up, I saw lengsa and song bo'ang staring at themselves. They had no choice but to say, "what do you think?"

Song Boang frowned and said, "at present, the Jiazhou army, together with the troops and horses of Qujing previously captured and the whole Fifth Army, the regular troops and horses of the whole Jiazhou are less than 150000. Moreover, except for the Fifth Army, most of them have not completed the integration or distributed weapons."

After pondering for a moment, song bo'ang continued, "there are nine armies subordinate to the six southern provinces. Now the first, second and seventh armies are going to the southwest with the big and small. The third, fourth and sixth armies must guard the six southern provinces and can't move unless they have to."

Loulanzhou's sword eyebrows are locked. The six southern provinces have a vast territory, and the three armies have only more than 100000 people, which is the lowest bottom line. If it's less, no one can end up if something happens. If your backyard is in a mess again, you haven't sent it.

"That is to say, at present, only the eighth and ninth armies can be transferred out of the six southern provinces?"

Song bo'ang shook his head and said, "there is only the Eighth Army, and the Eighth Army is stationed in Ganzhou and can't get there in a short time. Lou Shao should know that the Ninth Army has been stationed near Jiangcheng and Yingzhou for a long time."

Lou Lanzhou sighed and apologized, "I forgot for a moment." the Ninth Army is the Navy, which is specially stationed in the coastal areas of the six southern provinces.

The number of troops maintained by the six senior officials in the south is about 500000. Of course, if there is a large-scale war, the six southern provinces can naturally recruit new soldiers at any time, and it is not difficult to organize a million troops in a short time.

However, it is impossible for either side to maintain millions of troops for a long time in a non war state.

They can't decide on conscription. At present, it's too late for the first, and it hasn't come to this point for the second.

Lou Lanzhou said, "then we can only see what the capital means. I remember that the military headquarters arranged two legions near the northwest, with almost 100000 people."

Leng sighed, "there are fewer hard buildings."

Lou Lanzhou shook his head and got up to contact the capital.

There were only five people left in the room. Leng SA looked at Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu didn't mean to say, "I'll take someone to the northwest tonight." since he accepted the invitation of Fu dujun, it's impossible for him to eat without doing anything.

Leng SA nodded and said, "there's less hard work."

Jiang Yu said with a smile, "no, it's my job."

Leng SA said, "determine the situation of song Shao as soon as possible and collect as much information as possible about the northwest border and Dayin people."

Jiang Yu nodded, hesitated and didn't speak.

Leng SA said, "they are all our own people. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Jiang Yu frowned and said, "don't you think it's strange that the northwest third army made a mistake in command?"

"What does Jiang Shao mean?" song Boang said. Generals like him always reject intelligence people and think they are natural conspirators.

Jiang Yu's remark seems casual, but it is a rather terrible accusation for a general. Although the northwest Army man made such a terrible mistake, if he didn't die in the war, the result would not be too good. But mistakes and betrayals are two different things.

Jiang Yu smiled at him and said, "general song, calm down. I don't mean to be disrespectful to all the generals. But... The telegram didn't make it clear. I can't figure out what kind of command mistake can send song Shao to the enemy's ambush circle?"

Shang Feiyun didn't know much about these, but guessed: "the northwest place is vast and sparsely populated, and the environment is not good. Is it because there is a communication problem and there is no way to communicate with song shaogou in time?"

Jiang Yu didn't care and said, "it's possible."

Lengsa was silent for a while before saying, "so it's hard for Jiang Shao to start as soon as possible. Now communication is really inconvenient, and we can know very little from far away in Jiazhou. However... Please be careful."

It would be a little too much to infer guilt from a naked general just because of a trace of doubt.

Jiang Yu stood up, nodded and said, "don't worry, madam. I just said casually. I'll prepare first."

Seeing Jiang Yu out, Shang Feiyun looked at lengsa and asked, "do you want me to go with him? I see Jiang Shao's skill..." after contacting him these days, Shang Feiyun also knows him a little. His ability is very good, but his skill is average.

In places like Northwest China, the environment is bad and dangerous. It's hard to say what will happen if a childe like Jiang Yu runs over rashly.

Lengsa shook his head and said, "no, Jiang Yu is measured. Fei Yun, I'm afraid I have to ask you something."

Shang Feiyun said frankly, "just say it, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." since Feiyun club has chosen to surrender to the Fu family, Shang Feiyun will not pretend to be arrogant.

Leng SA said, "go back to Yong city. I hope Feiyun will help maintain the waterway from Yong city to the southwest. You can directly find Zhang Jingzhi. He knows what to do."

Shang Feiyun was puzzled. "You needed to transport goods by water to the northwest. Now the railway in the North has been connected. Why do you have to go by water? It's easy to be robbed by the sun family upstream."

Leng SA said, "it's hard for anyone to say what will happen after the northwest. It's always good to have more roads. Moreover, the place where the song governor army and the sun family fight is too far from Ningcheng. Even if the materials are sent to Ningcheng and want to be transferred to the front line, it's not an easy thing for the current transportation capacity of the northwest. It's better to take the waterway closer."

Shang Feiyun thought and said, "OK, Feiyun club was also familiar with the business of water transportation. It's not difficult."

Lengsa smiled, "thank you."

Shang Fei Yun got up and went out. Lengsa looked at the remaining two people in the room and sighed: "general song, Jiazhou still has to work hard for you."

Song bo'ang frowned and felt uneasy. "Young lady, are you going to the northwest?"

Leng SA said with a smile, "don't worry, I won't leave right away. At least... After the governor returns to Yong city from the capital."

Fu Fengcheng went to the southwest with Yao Guan. Fu dujun is in the capital. If she goes to the northwest again, there will be no one in the six southern provinces.

Besides, she can't help much now when she goes to the northwest. On the contrary, there are still many things to be arranged in Jiazhou. At least we have to wait until Jiang Yu comes back with some news.

Song Boang was relieved, "that's good." if the young lady went to the northwest like this, he didn't know how to explain to the governor and the young man.
