Before the war started, Zhong Xiu sent a telegram to express that he had no plans to plan for Jin: "The country has many reasons, people's livelihood is withered, Jin and Henan depend on each other, the two supervisors have the same feelings as their flesh and blood, and the principle of invading Jin is not in danger. Rumors are said to be green and the intention is to be promoted, please do not believe it..."

Yan Donghai was half-believing and half-doubted. At this time, Zhong Xiu sent an envoy to express his friendship with Shanxi and sent another telegram: "The theory of Jin Yu's preparation for war is purely a vain. It is because of the unconscious people who speculate on each other, which leads to a sneering and rumor. Now Yan Yue and Xiu are calm and open-minded in encounters, and all kinds of rumors have also been eliminated. Now, we should maintain peace and progress step by step. We must never start disputes by ourselves, so that we can seriously suffer our people and harm our hometown. This is what all parties can believe in..."

Yan Donghai finally felt at ease. Unexpectedly, Zhong Xiu had already led more than 10,000 elite troops from Shexian County to Junjiguan to break into Shanxi. The two infantry regiments of Bai Yujin and Xu Chengwei under the jurisdiction of Cai Brigade on the front line of the Jin army, and Shang Xueqin Grenadier Battalion. At Dongyang Pass, Junjiguan and Niangziguan defended the front line, and were suddenly attacked. He was defeated in Xiazhuang. There were many casualties and could not support him. He was late to Toad Beach and was surrounded and disarmed. Zhong Xiu took advantage of the victory to attack Liao County.

Yue Zhonglin has always been unstable about the plan to attack Jin. At this time, Zhong Xiu sent another phone call: "Lu should draw on it, but the gains and losses must be observed. Our army's foundation is unstable. It is better to go straight to Taiyuan with Liu Wenshe. Shanxi has obtained it and is basically solid. Then Tulu is not too late."

When he saw that Zhong Xiu attacked Jin so smoothly, he was surprised that the three elite brigades originally planned to attack Shandong were transferred to the border of Shanxi and Henan, preparing to see the situation. If the Jin army was defeated again, he would go to Jin first. Yan Donghai called Yue Zhonglin and said, "There is a misunderstanding in Zhongxiu's troops passing through the border. In order to avoid misconceptions, the troops have been ordered to retreat thirty miles to set up camp. Please call Yue Shuai to stop it..."

Yue Zhonglin was even more hesitant after receiving this telegram. "Transfer" and "retreat and camp" seemed to be weak in the Jin army, but the battle had not yet been decided, and it was not the time to enter the field. On the one hand, he stepped up the dispatch of troops to the border between Shanxi and Henan, and strictly ordered his troops not to enter Jin. As for Yan Donghai, he had a solution to: "The Henan army's theory of the project of Jin was doubtful and the rain was inexplicably strange. I have always respected Mr. Donghai. Why did the theory of drawing Jin come from? It was purely because Shandong had nothing to do. Regarding this point, there is no need for repeated statements. I would like to ask whether there is a soldier and a soldier on the border between Shanxi and Henan? Now Zhong Xiu and other troops have gone to the front line one after another..."

They all talked lies with their eyes open, but they actually praised it like a wave of praise. Everyone said: "What Yue Governor saw is very consistent with my wish..." Even Yan Donghai came to him: "Mr. Yue is truly a master of the world..."

However, everyone was preparing to beat the dogs in the water. Yan Donghai's life was not easy. The newspaper at sea said: "I heard that Yan Donghai's subordinates were dissatisfied with him. Therefore, Yan maintained a territory for fourteen years. I am afraid that this time it will be overthrown, and the end of the "model governor" is also pitiful..."

However, Yue Zhonglin was hesitant and gave Yan Donghai a chance to take a chance. He dispatched all the Rong regiments of the Sixth Regiment stationed in Lu'an to reinforce Liao County. He also sent Che Zhen to lead all the Li regiments of the Third Regiment of the Second Brigade, two battalions of the Housing Army of the Fourth Regiment, the Fifth Regiment of the Third Brigade, the First Artillery Battalion of the Third Brigade, and the Grenadier Battalion of the Grenadier Battalion, and the Xingye Battalion of the Grenadier Battalion to advance towards Liao County. Che Zhen contacted Zhong Xiujun at Caojiazhai outside Liao County and blocked his advancement.

Zhong Xiu still led the main force to continue to advance north. In Hanwang Town, Liao County, Guaier Town encountered Che Zhen's troops. The battle was extremely fierce. The front line broke through several times for Zhong Xiu. Che Zhen personally shot four battalion commanders and thirteen soldiers, and finally stabilized the front line.

At this time, the Yang army of the Sixth Brigade of the Jin army was transferred from Shouyang to Yuci, the Wang Battalion of the Fourth Regiment advanced from Yuci to Bafuling, and the Fu army of the Eighth Regiment rushed from Yuanping to Liao County to attack the rear of Zhong Xiu's army. Because Zhong Xiu was rashly penetrated deep and was surrounded on all sides, he had to withdraw from Shanxi and retreat to Henan.

The Jin army intercepted Zhong Xiu's army everywhere, and Zhong Xiu's troops retreated step by step, with great casualties along the way. Most regiment battalion commanders had escaped without a trace, and some soldiers even fled in plainclothes and abandoned guns. Several of them could no longer form an army. In the end, when they retreated from Shanxi, only more than 3,000 remained.

Zhong Xiu's plan to attack Jin was very thorough, but since Yue Zhonglin was hesitant, Zhong Xiu rashly went deep into the support and did not continue. The victory and defeat were decided. When Zhong Xiu returned, Yu immediately asked as a vanguard attacking Shandong, absolutely obey Yue Zhonglin's command, and asked Yue to add 3,000 rifles and 30,000 yuan in military salary. Yue Zhonglin refused all of Zhong Xiu's request: "Where did you get so much money? Before entering Jin, you had already raised 70,000 yuan, and you don't know how much money you spent on the military or military uniforms. Let's do this... Give your territory out, what territory do you have to capture in Shandong at that time..."

Shanxi is also in harmony, and publicly stated that Zhong Xiu had withdrawn from Shanxi, the Jin army would never pursue him, Shanxi and Henan still maintained good relations, and were even willing to supplement some of Zhong Xiu's weapons and equipment. Of course, this is all good-sounding.

Liu Jingxiao secretly called luck. Zhong Xiu's army was one of the strongest combat forces in the Henan army. This time, almost all the troops were gone. It was much easier for him to come here. Moreover, Yan Donghai was so painful that he was afraid that Yue Zhonglin would solve Shandong and then come to solve Shanxi. At that time, it was no problem to pacify one province with the power of the three provinces. Therefore, just said that he would supplement Zhong Xiu's weapons and ammunition, but he had sent an envoy to form an alliance with Liu Jingxiao.

This is naturally a match-up, and the two sides agreed to an alliance. If the Henan army uses troops to Shandong, Shanxi will go to the Shanxi-Henan border to restrain its troops, and vice versa.

With such delay, Liu Jingxiao has begun a comprehensive mobilization. What is more beneficial is that the Jiaoji Railway, which has been working hard for many years in Liu Jingxiao, has been opened to traffic and is now being trial-opened.

The morale of the army is also good. Liu Jingxiao specially found Huang Yang, the number one flag bearer of the propaganda front. When the yellow sheep saw Liu Jingxiao, she shouted: "My name is Huang Yang, Yangjiagou Village. Originally, if a general is valued, he will work hard, be dedicated to his duties, and do something for his career..."

However, after staying in the parliament for a long time, the yellow sheep no longer has any gangster nature. She has a completely superior attitude. When she meets someone, the first sentence is: "I am a man, you are a woman, and now everyone has no spouse. This... that... well, can you consider matching between men and women, and that is not tired?"

Sometimes he learns the posture of a wealthy child, holding a super giant camera to capture beautiful women everywhere (historians have always been skeptical about how he can hold the giant antique cameras of the Republic of 1990s, but this is a true fact). At that time, he shouted to the girl on the street: "I'm here, I'm here..."

As for the dream of "robbing the rich and robbing the poor, both men and women" at that time, it has now been replaced by a more advanced ideal: "I come quietly, don't shoot the gun, and in order to seek *, I moved away all the beauties in Jinan." From time to time, I shouted in my dreams: "Show sister...shui niece..."

However, at Liu Jingxiao's order, Huang Yang, a bad middle-aged man, immediately changed his face and stood on the platform and shouted in pain: "How miserable were our days in the past? I grew up under the pressure of Wang Ziqi and Zhang Ke. I couldn't even eat enough... I couldn't even sleep with a bed all day... Even."

Of course, the yellow sheep is so bitter. At that time, he had big fish and meat every meal, and eating was always enough. As for the bed? He always slept on the stolen girl. The yellow sheep continued: "Fortunately, Commander Liu Jingxiao came, and our bandits finally had hope... Under the correct leadership of - we have won one victory after another... The bandits who are about to enter the new century are extremely happy..."

Finally, he asked someone to complain on the spot, and held an activity to remember the bitterness and sweetness, which made the troops cry. Finally, he shouted: "Now someone wants to steal our women, burn our house, and drink our good wine... Can we agree?..."

"No!" The whole sound was thundering, especially a few of them shouted the loudest: "You must never let them drink our wine..."

On the other hand, Henan and Jiangsu are much different. Yue Zhonglin ordered an expansion of 100,000 troops, and all the soldiers, guns, military uniforms... were released on the spot to solve the problem.

So a large number of people went down the mountain to recruit the village. The title of the leader of the village and the second leader suddenly became: "Battery Commander, Company Commander...", but the last sentence has not been changed: "What should I do if I have this meat ticket?"

Regarding military pay, Yue Zhonglin's method is that each county will distribute money, large counties will distribute money, and small counties will distribute money. As for military rations and military rice, each has its own figures. Henan people are not rich. After Yue Zhonglin's troubles, every family has complained.

In order to complete the task, Yue Zhonglin held a "Law-abiding study class". If anyone refuses to pay the money and goods, he will immediately be arrested and entered the study class. Tiger examples, sticks and other things will be taught a brand new class for you, so that you can understand the necessity of abiding by laws and regulations. If you don't pay, various modern law enforcement methods such as catching your wife and children will be brought out.

All counties fully understood Yue Zhonglin's intentions and required all tasks assigned to exceed the amount of tasks. This was no longer a complaint, but a crying sound.

As for the equipment problem, the Henan Provincial Army originally had 100,000 troops, but only more than 40,000 rifles were left. Zhong Xiu lost a lot of money to the Jin Dynasty. In order to support Yue Zhonglin in the sea, the Shen family specially sent two pairs of train equipment over to Shandong, including 6,000 rifles, 36 guns of various types, more than 300,000 kilograms of ammunition, and many other equipment.

How can this be able to arm the 100,000 army? What's more, Yue Zhonglin's chicken intestines and belly? All these weapons were used to arm his direct troops.

Yang Linyi's reign expanded the Gongxian Arsenal, but after all, he was not as generous as Liu Jingxiao. He worked day and night, and only took sixty guns a day to start a day and a month to arm two regiments. Yue Zhonglin kept half of them for his own use, and the rest was distributed to everyone. Everyone's troops had a large number of bare-handed soldiers.

Jiangsu is much better. Their problems are mainly due to the economy. In order to raise military expenses, Li Dingyuan specially ordered the whole province to stop circulation of Shandong banknotes in Jiangsu Province from now on, and only Jiangsu provincial currency is allowed to be circulated.

In order to prevent the lack of banknotes on the market, Li Dingyuan quickly printed hundreds of thousands of banknotes and threw them into the market. Unexpectedly, the effect was counterproductive. The reputation of Shandong Provincial currency in Jiangsu is much better than that of Jiangsu Provincial currency. In daily exercise, the circulation of Jiangsu Provincial currency is very small. When he heard that Shandong Provincial currency stopped circulation, there was a financial order for a while. Then a large number of Jiangsu Provincial currency appeared on the market. Everyone had no sense of trust in this banknote and refused to accept it. Even if they bought it, they would take action quickly. They were on the sidelines of Shandong Provincial currency.

Li Dingyuan took action too quickly, creating a situation where he could not speak alone. For a time, Jiangsu Provincial currency fell by 40%, while Shandong Provincial currency was even more popular on the market. One Shandong Provincial currency could be exchanged for two Jiangsu Provincial currency. Everyone put Li Dingyuan's ban behind him, and even major banks still received Shandong Provincial currency.

Since Li Dingyuan has decided to use troops in Shandong, this reward is inevitable. Li Dingyuan generously paid half a month of military pay, and the total amount was one and a half months of military pay. Unexpectedly, the market was originally boycotting Jiangsu Provincial currency, and so many paper money appeared again, so major stores refused to accept it, and even if they were willing to accept it, it would settle the bill with a 30% discount.

Soldiers couldn't help but feel resentment. Often dozens of people went out to shop together, and forced buying and selling. Jiangsu Provincial currency suddenly became a military coupon. The Nanjing Chamber of Commerce held a general strike, and the result was that the value of Jiangsu Provincial currency continued to plummet.

As a result, Li Dingyuan's hands and feet were tied up, and Miss Shen put her hope in Henan.

According to Yue Zhonglin's plan, he would never be willing to do the best, and he would have to take action together even if he was not good. However, now everyone is unwilling to take action first, and his situation is the most difficult one. He gathers 200,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 civilians, and is consuming here. With Henan's economic strength, he can't afford it.

The Shen family said that as long as Henan fired the first shot at Shandong, it would immediately support military pay of 300,000 yuan, 2,000 rifles, and 10,000 kilograms of ammunition. These materials have now been stored in Hubei. As long as Henan sends troops, it will immediately ship to Hunan by sea.

So after more than a month of delay, Yue Zhonglin finally made up his mind and ordered the entire army to gather on the border of Henan and Lu. On June 2, the situation between the two sides was no longer densely covered with war, but began a battle that had not declared war. The Henan army repeatedly crossed the border for reconnaissance, and the 17th Division was not polite, and would be annihilated whenever they entered the border.

On June 3, the first large-scale firefight occurred between the two sides. A reconnaissance company of the Henan Army encountered an ambush from a reinforced battalion of the 17th Division. The company had lost nearly half of the people when it escaped the border. The casualties of the Henan Army exceeded three digits, and the casualties of the 17th Division also exceeded two digits.

At this time, Liu Jingxiao held Xu Qiaozhi's hand and said, "Will you miss me when you go back to Jiaodong?"

Xu Qiaozhi's face turned red, and she suddenly said something to Liu Jingxiao's ear. Liu Jingxiao was stunned and hadn't reacted for a long time.
