Chapter 307 Who Betrayed Us
"You know me?" Zhang Zhiqing asked hoarsely.
The lieutenant officer smiled and said, "The Governor's memory is really bad. I am Chen Dachang, the captain of the First Squadron of the Provincial Guard."
"It seems that when you go in and out of the provincial capital on weekdays, you really don't pay attention to us, the big soldiers standing guard!"
Zhang Zhiqing opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything with a stiff expression.
Chen Dachang waved his hand and said excitedly: "Brothers, tie up these big fish and send them to the headquarters. We have made a great contribution tonight!"
Immediately, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army tied Zhang Zhiqing, Han Wenkui and others with hemp rope, and rushed them to the rear headquarters without taking a rest.
Although it was late at night, the Jiangbei Army Headquarters was still brightly lit, with more than a dozen kerosene lamps illuminating the entire room brightly.
Wu Yongquan, Chu Liangyi and others gathered around the table, each holding a bowl of millet porridge, and eating the supper with the shredded pickles in the bowl.
At this time, a second lieutenant officer ran in and said, "Report, the deputy commander of the Yasukuni Army, Mu Hongbin, and the eight accompanying personnel have been captured by our army."
Wu Yongquan nodded and said, "Very well, let the brothers take care of these people."
"Yes!"
"Oh, by the way, apart from Mu Hongbin, have Zhang Zhiqing, Han Wenkui, and Han Wenxing caught them?" Wu Yongquan asked.
The second lieutenant shook his head: "There is no news from the troops below, so they probably haven't been caught yet."
"Well, you go down first!" Wu Yongquan said.
However, not long after the second lieutenant went down, he ran in excitedly again:
"Sir, Zhang Zhiqing and Han Wenkui have been arrested!"
"Ok?"
"Is it true?"
"Are you sure?" Wu Yongquan asked in surprise.
"They have been escorted to the command post, and they are now in the yard outside!" The second lieutenant said excitedly.
Wu Yongquan put down his porridge bowl, looked at everyone, and said with a smile on his face: "Let's go, let's go and see the governor!"
Chu Liangyi and the others were also smiling, and got up and walked out of the courtyard.
Sure enough, as soon as they walked out of the yard, they saw Zhang Zhiqing, Han Wenkui and others wearing homespun trousers and jackets, squatting on the ground with dejected expressions, and they still had no prestige in the past.
"Hahaha, Governor Zhang, Mr. Han, you all let me find it easily!" Wu Yongquan said with a meaningful smile.
Chu Liangyi shook his head, pretending to be sorry and said: "Governor Zhang, I really don't understand. You said that you have a good life as the governor, but what are you competing with our Jiangbei Army!"
"It's alright now, the governor can't be done, the Yasukuni army is finished, and he's still a prisoner, what's the use of you saying you're doing this?"
At this moment, Zhang Zhiqing looked like a hero's end. He raised his head and said loudly:
"How can a man live under others for a long time, and now he is defeated and captured, it is a disadvantage in the war, not my fault!"
"Even if I am killed by you tomorrow, I will die with no regrets!"
"Ouch...."
Hearing these sour words, several Jiangbei Army soldiers suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Wu Yongquan chuckled and said, "Okay, then you can continue without regrets."
"Take them down. It won't be too late to deal with them after the Yasukuni Army and Liu Baoshan are dealt with!"
However, just as the soldiers were about to take Zhang Zhiqing, Han Wenkui and others away from the headquarters, Zhang Zhiqing shouted while struggling:
"Wu Yongquan, tell me who betrayed us and how did you know about the Yasukuni Army!"
"If you don't tell me, I will die with regret!"
Wu Yongquan said speechlessly: "I didn't have any regrets just now, but I'm going to die soon. You bunch of sour literati are really fickle. What you say is like farting!"
"Liangyi, tell him!"
Chu Liangyi chuckled, looked at Zhang Zhiqing and said, "Governor Zhang, I have to say that your work of forming the Yasukuni Army is really covert enough that we really didn't notice it at first."
"It's just a hundred secrets. You asked Sun Yuting, a gold and stone craftsman, to help you seal the seal of the Yasukuni Army, but in order to keep the secret, you sent someone to kill him."
"It's this move that made us notice you!"
Zhang Zhiqing was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted: "Impossible, the person who killed Sun Yuting was silenced by me immediately, how do you know about this!"
Chu Liangyi smiled and said, "The killer you sent took away the rice paper with the words 'Lingnan Jingguo Army Seal' written on it, it was indeed cautious enough."
"However, after Sun Yuting engraved this big seal, in order to check whether the imprint of the seal is clear, he left a red mark on a piece of waste rice paper."
"But the killer you sent didn't notice this. With this red mark, all your secrecy work is in vain!"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqing froze in place like thunder, and said with a dazed expression:
"How could this be so, a little Sun Yuting actually ruined my big event!"
At this time, Han Wenkui on the side came back to his senses, stared at Chu Liangyi and said, "Then how did you know about the fact that we in the Han family swore to go to war?"
"Don't tell me that you discovered this through some imprint!"
Chu Liangyi laughed and said: "Of course it's not from the imprint, we can know this matter, we really know it through the traitor in your mouth!"
When Han Wenkui heard it, he immediately shouted: "Who is it, who betrayed us!"
"You are very familiar with this person, he is Han Wenyuan, the head of the third room of your Han family!"
After Chu Liangyi said the name, Han Wenkui froze in place. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into a sigh.
Perhaps he also understood why Han Wenyuan betrayed his family.
At this time, Wu Yongquan waved his hand, and the soldiers understood, and escorted Zhang Zhiqing and others to leave.
As Zhang Zhiqing, Han Wenkui and others were all captured, the Yasukuni Army's rout troops fleeing around the Dongjiang River were also gathered in sevens and eights.
Now there are only a large group of bandits entrenched on the hills and the Shannan Army that has arrived in Lingnan Province.
For the bandits on the hills, Wu Yongquan did not take them seriously and regarded them as strong enemies.
Originally, after Chu Liangyi gained a firm foothold in Dongjiang City, he planned to carry out a wave of suppression of bandits in the area.
Who knew that before Chu Liangyi could do anything, this group of people hooked up with Zhang Zhiqing.
Now, just a spoonful of stew!
On the day the Han family compound was attacked by the Jiangbei army, the bandits from all over the country had already left the village.
They were still some distance away from the attack target, so they had to set off early to arrive at the scheduled location before the attack date.
However, after the news of Zhang Zhiqing and others being captured, Lang Kun, Zhou Yanchang, Li Baizi and other bandit leaders were immediately stunned.
what's the situation?
Before the fight started, the commander was captured by the Jiangbei army?
what are you doing!
The bandits are used to bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Seeing that the Jiangbei Army is so powerful, how dare they fight against the Jiangbei Army.
Without the slightest hesitation, the group immediately turned their heads and withdrew to the cottage, preparing to rely on the fortifications of the cottage to contend with the Jiangbei army for a while.
Maybe, the Jiangbei army will think that their cottage is too difficult to attack, and they will take action to recruit themselves if they fail to protect it!
However, the Jiangbei Army's offensive came faster than they had imagined.
Before they could return to the cottage, the bandits were overtaken by the Jiangbei army who came in a surprise attack on the way.
Without the fortifications of the cottage, the poor combat effectiveness of the bandits would basically collapse in the face of the regular army's offensive.
