Hankou
码头
Today's wind is very noisy.
Wu Ziyu was dressed in casual clothes and leaning on a cane, quietly watching the black smoke rising in the distance, and the faint sound of gunfire could be heard in his ears.
Defeated
This is another collapse of Wu Ziyu since the first battle in Tanggu.
The troops he rebuilt with great difficulty quickly collapsed under the tide-like offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
It was different from the last time he fought Fengjun, because Feng Huanzhang rebelled in the capital and caught fire in the backyard, which made him unable to take care of both ends, and was eventually pinched and defeated.
This time, I devoted all my energy to fighting the Northern Expedition.
But still can't stop them!
What kind of army is this group!
Facing the five tanks under their command, they actually carried a bundle of grenades and went straight into the bottom of the vehicle, killing their lives and blowing up the tanks.
This is completely different from the troops I have encountered before!
They seem to have an infinite will to fight!
It was the first time Wu Ziyu encountered such a powerful army.
"Yu Shuai, everything has been moved!"
At this time, a follower came over and said.
Wu Ziyu nodded, looked back at the city again, then sighed softly, and walked up a passenger ship along the stairs.
"Yushuai, Yunshuai has sent people many times to ask you to live in the Jiangbei area."
"Why don't you go?"
"Why do you want to go to Sichuan Province to escape the flames of war?" The follower asked a little puzzled.
A bitter smile appeared on Wu Ziyu's face, he shook his head slightly and said:
"not going!"
"I'm not old enough to be supported by the younger generation!"
"Besides, the country has grown up, and I don't believe that I can't find a shelter!"
Hearing this, the entourage asked curiously, "Yushuai, could it be that you've already figured out a way to make a comeback?"
Wu Ziyu waved his hands and said:
"I haven't thought of a solution yet, but I will never give up if I make a comeback!"
"Three Kingdoms Liu Xuande, from Pingyuan, Xuzhou, Xiaopei, Xinye and other places, experienced several defeats."
"In the end, the world is still divided into three parts, dominating Jingzhou and Bashu!"
"I only lost twice!"
"I still have a chance!"
Hearing this, the entourage suddenly realized something: "I see, no wonder you went to Sichuan Province this time."
"You want to follow Liu Xuande's example and guard the natural dangers of Bashu!"
Wu Ziyu chuckled and didn't explain too much.
However, when he went to Sichuan Province this time, he did receive an invitation from Yang Sen, one of the warlords of Sichuan Province.
Previously, Yang Sen had failed in the war against the warlords in Sichuan, so he had to escape from Sichuan Province and was taken in by Wu Ziyu in the western Hubei area.
Now, Yang Sen has returned to Sichuan Province and has established a foothold in the province.
Knowing that Wu Ziyu was defeated, he sent a telegram inviting him to live in Sichuan Province.
And Wu Ziyu also hopes to use Yang Sen's power and reputation in Sichuan Province to wait for an opportunity to regroup and use Sichuan Province as the foundation to make a comeback.
To put it bluntly, Wu Ziyu still has not given up his dream of competing in the world.
That's why he didn't want to go to Lin Hongfei's place.
After all, going to Jiangbei means completely retreating into seclusion and not caring about worldly affairs.
This is currently unacceptable to Wu Ziyu!
Along with the long whistle of the passenger ship, thick black smoke came out of the chimney, and the passenger ship slowly left the dock.
And not long after, as the vanguard of the first attack into Hankou, Liu Qizi came to the dock with a company of troops.
However, they could only watch the passenger ship leave from afar.
"A step too late!"
"Otherwise you can capture him alive!"
Ni Dakun, the commander of the third company, said with some regret.
"It's okay, he doesn't have any troops anymore, and he won't be able to make any waves in the future!" Liu Qizi said.
"Let's go, there are still many stragglers of the Wu army in the city."
"Hurry up and clean them up!"
Immediately, Liu Qizi left the dock with his soldiers.
And within a few days, Lin Hongfei also received the news that Wu Ziyu was going to Sichuan Province.
After learning about this, Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan looked at each other silently.
"Uncle is still working hard!"
After a long silence, Wu Yongquan finally uttered such a sentence.
Lin Hongfei smiled slightly and said:
"Everyone has their own destiny, this is the path Yushuai chose, so let's not interfere!"
"When the day comes, Yu Shuai is really tired and knows that there is no hope."
"I thought that at that time, he would be able to retire with peace of mind."
Wu Yongquan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you."
"Do you remember Bai Wenju?"
Hearing these three words, Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and the memory of the dead began to attack him.
Bai Wenju, the young master of the Bai family in Jiangdu County.
A few years ago, after Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan led 800 Hebei and Lu soldiers into Jiangdu County, they tried to ban opium in Jiangdu County!
For this reason, he also took the lead in shoveling all the opium grown at home.
Later, after Lin Hongfei stabilized the situation in Jiangdu County, he appointed this person as the anti-smoking commissioner of Jiangdu County, who was responsible for eradicating opium and smoking ban.
After completing the smoking ban, Bai Wenju left Jiangdu County and disappeared afterwards.
After thinking of this person, Lin Ze couldn't help asking curiously: "Bai Wenju, why did you mention him so well?"
Wu Yongquan said: "Two days ago, he sent me a letter through several Jiangdu military officers."
"I hope we can find him a job in Lingnan Province for the sake of smoking ban in the past."
"I happened to be busy at the time, so I forgot about it, and I just remembered it today."
"Well, do you want to give him an errand?"
Lin Hongfei shook his head hesitantly and said, "To be honest, I don't really want to give him an errand."
"We did have some affection with him before."
"But we have been separated for so many years, and we don't know what he has done all these years."
"If I take him in rashly, I'm worried that some unnecessary trouble will arise."
Wu Yongquan nodded: "Okay, then I will find an excuse and refuse for him."
Lin Hongfei didn't object, and the matter was considered a deal.
However, the matter was not over.
When he learned that his request was rejected, Bai Wenju did not give up.
He once again sent Wu Yongquan a personal letter, begging him to give him an errand.
Because he knew that Lin Hongfei was the real master in the Shanling Army, Bai Wenju found another high school classmate who worked in the Jiangbei Military and Political Office.
Through his channel, he also sent a letter to Lin Hongfei.
Seeing that he could not refuse this person with words alone, Lin Hongfei simply found a restaurant, set up a banquet, and decided to talk to Bai Wenju in person.
That night, Bai Wenju was wearing a somewhat old gown, and came to the restaurant alone to meet Lin Hongfei.
