Chapter 60 Chapter 2 The old fox watches the fire from the other side

He Chengjun shrugged his head slightly after hearing Rui Chan's words, and said: "The law of war says that it is a taboo to go deep alone with an army."When Bizhi came, Commander-in-Chief Yin had already given orders, so Bizhi did not dare to disobey the Commander-in-Chief's order and cross the river without authorization. After hearing this sentence, Rui Chan was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he persuaded: General He, stop practicing Zen. After crossing the river, I will bear all the responsibilities. He Chengjun just shook his head: I am a low-ranking official, so I definitely dare not disobey orders.

Zhang Biao was stunned to hear it, and interjected, "General He, aren't you worried that the soldiers will be in danger, and you won't be able to explain to Yinchang at that time?"You don't need to worry about that.To tell you the truth, most of the army in Wuchang today has not participated in the conspiracy. As long as you and I work together to drive the troops straight in, the small rebellious party will inevitably flee without a trace. General He, you must not miss this opportunity. Rui Tang continued: General He, don't expect that you are a child of Jingchu. Now in Wuchang City, the elders in your hometown look forward to soldiers like Yunni in a long drought. You will never disappoint the elders in your hometown, right?

Rui Chan and Zhang Biao were eager to persuade He Chengjun, because they were local officials and generals who had the responsibility of guarding the land, and if they didn't take back Wuchang, they would be in more trouble than a day.He Chengjun looked at their faces and expressions, and saw that although the two were anxious, Admiral Sa Zhenbing, who was on the side, was having a good time, obviously watching the fire from the other side. So He Chengjun knew it well, and there was only one sentence back and forth: I am a general with a small position, and I dare not violate my orders.

Zhang Biao was in a hurry: General He hesitated, could it be that he was timid? This sentence angered He Chengjun. You must know that He Chengjun was a young and vigorous person—if he hadn't been so vigorous, he would not have joined the Revolutionary Party of the Tongmenghui.He sneered and sarcastically said, "Since they are Wuchang's soldiers, most of them have not rebelled, why didn't Zhang Dutong stay in Wuchang to command Ruoding, but left the flood area and took shelter on this small warship?" Before Zhang Biao could reply, Rui Chan was furious and shouted sharply: "He Chengjun, you don't fight, stay in the army, and don't want to cross the river after being disturbed by rebellion. If I report this matter to Yin Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid you will be blamed for shrinking and delaying the military opportunity!

He Chengjun had been waiting for his words for a long time, so he stood up immediately and said loudly: "In this case, then I will wait for Commander-in-Chief Yin to dispose of my telegram, so that the general will only act according to Commander-in-Chief Yin, and the rest Things, not what I can know. After saying this, He Chengjun rushed off the ship angrily. When he boarded the boat, he looked up and saw Sa Zhenbing's strange smiling face. He felt a cold war in his heart. This Sa Zhenbing has become a fine old fox. It is said that Li Yuanhong was still his disciple back then, I am afraid that Sa Zhenbing has already guessed my real identity.

Feeling uneasy, He Chengjun flew to the army camp, called the communication soldier, and immediately sent a message to Commander Yin, um, to make the situation extremely dangerous... Also, to prevent Ruizhen from suing me, we must first Put some eye drops on Rui Chan... The proposed telegram is as follows: The rebellious army is powerful and heavily guarded. Since Li Yuanhong became the leader of the rebel army, he has already captured the hearts of the people in the three towns of Wuchang.Like adding fuel to a fire, it gets hotter.The former Ruizhang and Zhang Biao suffered heavy losses, and there are real reasons for this.Now our army is alone, but Rui Chan is forcing the general to take risks, and the censure is very strict. Where does the general want to go, please tell the commander-in-chief.

After sending the telegram, He Chengjun left the barracks and ran to Hankou alone, trying to find a joint for the revolutionary party, but he didn't want all the revolutionary parties in Hankou to go to Wuchang to make a fuss, and he couldn't find any.He Chengjun looked at the river and sighed, but it was just across the river, which only made him sigh in melancholy. Unhappily returning to the barracks from Hankou, the general headquarters has already called back, with only a short sentence: Your department will handle it according to the plan. After receiving this telegram, He Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief.As a high-achieving student who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy, he knows better than anyone else that what Rui Chan and Zhang Biao said is true. The current Wuchang government is the most vulnerable, with weak troops, weak morale, and no backup. If the army breaks in, Wuchang will not be able to defend it. It is no wonder that Zhang Biao, Ruizhang, sees that He Chengjun is not moving forward, so anxious to speak.

Rao Ruizhang and Zhang Biao thought too much, but how could they have imagined that the vanguard troops sent by the imperial court to conquer were also led by the Revolutionary Party. This gave Wuchang enough breathing time. This respite lasted for a full ten days. Ten days later, Commander-in-Chief Yin Chang arrived. First ordered Wang Zhanyuan to lead the second town and the third association, as well as the artillery one bid, to take Hankou directly.
