Chapter 313 Preparations Before the Southern Expedition

Liu Hu was finally sentenced to death. Li Yuanhong did not go to see the execution, nor did anyone else. However, the executioner came back and said that Liu Hu asked someone to bring a message to Li Yuanhong. He knew that he was wrong, and he did not want anyone to forgive him. But I hope that after I die, I can be buried back in my hometown, so that my soul can return to my hometown.

Li Yuanhong's eyes felt moist at this moment, but Li Yuanhong did not let the tears stay. After all, he had no time to cry now, because the chief gave him one month to rescue the Sichuan base, which invisibly delayed a week, and Liu Hu's aftermath work also gave Li Yuanhong some headaches. This Liu Hu incident made Li Yuanhong understand that desire may make a person lose control. No matter how good the relationship is, power cannot be placed on one person, otherwise this will It's not about trusting him, but harming him.

On the second day after Liu Hu was executed, Li Yuanhong had Liu Hu's body transported back to Baicheng for burial. Although it was not of high standard, the tombstone was written by Li Yuanhong himself. It read: Tomb of Liu Hu, the hero of the last days, and his best friend Li Yuanhong. stand. On the back of the stele, Liu Hu's life was written, but the final cause of death was omitted, only the time of death was written.

On the day Liu Hu was buried, several leading generals also gathered in Spring City. This time there were not only the army, but also the navy. Because Sichuan Province has the Yangtze River waterway that can pass through, the navy, which has been idle, finally has a place to use. The commander of the navy, Fu Chuanzhi, was gearing up and vowed to show off the majesty of the navy and be the first to hit Sichuan Province.

Fatty Lu of the Air Force did not show any weakness and was the first to fly into Sichuan Province, the first to reach the gathering place and rescue the survivors there.

Seeing that the two of them were so confident, Li Yuanhong was not happy, because what the two said was very easy to come true. Whether by plane or ship, it was easy to enter Sichuan Province. But the problem was that entering Sichuan Province did not mean that We can occupy Sichuan Province, which was one of the most densely populated provinces in China before the end of the world. If we count now, there are more than 50 million zombies there. Moreover, the terrain of Sichuan Province is complex, there are many mountains and forests, and the wild animals there are There are more, which means there are more mutant beasts there. If there is a tide of beasts there, it will be a more terrifying force than zombies. Xiao Yiling once said that there used to be several cities on their planet. , was destroyed by the beast tide.

Li Yuanhong informed the generals of the information he knew. At the same time, he wanted to give each military branch a preventive shot. Don't think of the war as simple. So, a heated discussion began. Li Yuanhong listened silently and calculated in his mind. At the same time, he stared at the map, hoping to find a feasible plan.

After some debate, Li Yuanhong slapped the table for the last time: "In this way, our strategy is divided into three steps. The first step is General Fu Chuanzhi." As soon as Li Yuanhong finished speaking, Fu Chuanzhi's eyes immediately lit up.

"General Fu Chuanzhi, you are taking the lead. Within five to ten days, we will open up the Yangtze River waterway. We must clean up the sandbanks and ships stranded on the waterway along the way. We must also control the various sluices and power stations to prepare for our next move. Clear the obstacles! Any questions?" Li Yuanhong looked at Fu Chuanzhi and said.

"Promise to complete the task!" Fu Chuanzhi stood up and replied in a standard giant stance.

"Okay, please sit down." Li Yuanhong waved his hand and asked Fu Chuanzhi to sit down.

"In the second step, General Fu Chuanzhi cooperates with General Xing Ling to capture the sandbank and Jiangxin Island near Chongqing City, and open a material reserve station here to prepare for the next step of capturing the land stronghold."

Xing Ling also stood up and said at attention, "Promise to complete the mission!"

Li Yuanhong motioned for the other party to sit down, and then continued: "The third step is that we will take a two-pronged approach. General Xingling is responsible for opening up a land base, especially the inland plains of Sichuan Province, which will become our future food and material supply base, so you The pressure is great, please be careful. At the same time, we dispatched aviation troops to establish contact with the survivor camps in Sichuan Province. In the early stage, we mainly transported supplies by air to solve the basic livelihood problems there. We will deal with the specific situation in detail. , here, Captain Lu Fei is asked to pay close attention to the safety of the aviation brigade." Li Yuanhong said.

"Yes!" Fatty Lu shook his plump body and stood at attention. His image was so funny, but who would have thought that this fat guy could be considered top-notch in flying airplanes.

"Other troops will be renovated or expanded according to the original plan. Especially the northwest troops are ready to attack at any time to annihilate the remaining Western Empire forces. Let's prepare separately and start taking action tomorrow." Li Yuanhong simply arranged other tasks and then dispersed. There were many people Not receiving the order, they felt that such a good opportunity to perform meritorious service had not come to them, and they were a little frustrated, especially Wu Xiong. Suddenly he heard that there was no chance for him to appear, and he was very dissatisfied. As soon as the meeting ended, he found Li Yuanhong.

"Commander Li, isn't it a waste of time for you to leave my troops idle in Yanjing?"

"Waste? I don't think so." Li Yuanhong said.

"It's not a waste. My current subordinates have expanded to nearly 100,000 people, which is almost the number of a group army. But so many people stay in the city all day long, doing nothing. What a waste!" Wu Xiong complained! road.

"Really? Then why don't you train soldiers?" Li Yuanhong looked at Wu Xiong with a smile.

"Training? Do I train every day?" Wu Xiong didn't know what Li Yuanhong meant by asking this.

"Training? How did you train?"

"Of course they are trained in accordance with military training procedures."

"You didn't practice training?"

"Why not? I often lead the troops to practice outdoors!" Wu Xiong was asked and didn't even know what Li Yuanhong meant.

"I'm asking you, didn't you go out and fight zombies for a few times to train the troops' actual combat capabilities?" Li Yuanhong looked at Wu Xiong with a smile.

"Actual combat? There are no zombies around us..." Just as he said this, Wu Xiong suddenly stopped and immediately understood what Li Yuanhong meant.

"Oh, Commander Li, I understand. Just wait a minute. I will definitely clean up all the zombies around you. Next time you go to Hebei Province, I will never let you find another zombie." Wu Xiong Said happily.

"It's not about killing zombies for me, it's about clearing out a peaceful living space for our descendants." Li Yuanhong said.

"Yes, I understand, Commander Li!" Wu Xiong saluted and strode out.

After arranging the army, Li Yuanhong was very worried about the current arrangements for the rear. The Liu Hu incident suddenly created a power vacuum in the rear, especially who would be in charge of the rear. This was a crucial issue. Li Yuanhong had never thought of a good candidate. After all, Li Yuanhong doesn't want the second Liu Hu incident to happen.

That night, as soon as Li Yuanhong got home, he saw Li Luoxia preparing a large table of dishes.

"Luoxia, why are you preparing so many dishes?" Li Yuanhong asked when he saw a table full of dishes.

"Of course someone is here as a guest!" Li Luoxia poked her head out of the kitchen, replied and then retracted. However, Li Yuanhong heard a chirping sound in the kitchen, and it was obvious that there was more than one person inside.

Sure enough, after a while, a beautiful figure came out carrying dishes. It turned out to be Saito Eko who had disappeared for a long time.

Seeing Li Yuanhong stunned, Saito Eko smiled and said: "What, is it strange to see me?"

"Ah? That's a bit. I originally planned to send someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to show up yourself. Where have you been during this time?"

Saito Eko put the dishes on the table, and then said: "Some time ago, I almost got hurt. Fortunately, Chu Zhenshan protected me, so I was safe. I just kept trying to contact you, but I couldn't. .”

"Haha, I see. It seems that boy Chu Zhenshan is quite interested in you." Li Yuanhong smiled knowingly.

Seeing Li Yuanhong's smile, Zhizi blushed: "You Chinese men are different from us Yamato men and are more responsible."

"What, have you decided who your next man will be?" Li Yuanhong looked at Zhizi with a smile.

"Well, maybe this is my destination!" Zhizi said with a faint sense of happiness.

"Then I'll give you my best wishes first. I'll ask Luoxia to prepare the gifts later. Ask that silly boy Chu Zhenshan what gifts he wants!"

"Didn't you already give him his gift?" Zhizi said with a smile.

"Did you give him a gift?" Li Yuanhong didn't remember what gift he had given that boy.

"Am I not the gift you gave him?"

Li Yuanhong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that this boy should treat me to a big meal."

Just as he was talking, Li Yuanhong came out with another plate of dishes: "It's finally finished. If it weren't for the branches, I really don't know how to cook this big table dish."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Yuanhong said to Li Luoxia.

"Why are you so polite? Hurry up and take a seat. It's probably time for those foodies to arrive." Li Luoxia said.

"Why is there still someone there?" Li Yuanhong was a little surprised.

"Of course, do you think the three of us are the only ones worthy of me cooking so many dishes?" Li Luoxia gave Li Yuanhong a roll of her eyes.

"Haha, I'm telling you, thank you for your hard work, wife!" Li Yuanhong coaxed Li Luoxia carefully.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Li Yuanhong quickly got up and opened the door. When he opened the door, there were three or four people standing at the door, including Du Sanniang, Chu Zhenshan, Bai Yuqian and Ma Fengyong. Only then did Li Yuanhong realize that Li Luoxia had quite a few guests.

Li Yuanhong quickly let everyone into the house, and everyone sat down. Zhizi poured drinks and drinks for everyone. At this time, everyone looked at Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong knew it and said a few words himself.

"Everyone has been through a lot recently, which can be considered a kind of hardship. But these things have passed. Today, when everyone gathers at my house, don't worry about your superiors and subordinates. Say whatever you want. Just treat it as a gathering between friends. Don't be restrained. I Let me raise a glass here and drink with you all to thank you all for supporting me!" After that, Li Yuanhong went to work first.

Li Yuanhong started, so everyone followed suit and drank, and then everyone started talking about their experiences during this period.

When he was almost drunk, Li Yuanhong suddenly asked a question: "This incident gave me a warning. During this period of time, I have lost myself in power, but I am on the front line, facing zombies every day, and I still I know the danger of losing myself, so I can still control myself, but many people in the background have been wrapped up in the convenience brought by power for a long time, and gradually forget that power is a double-edged sword, and finally lose themselves. Do you have any good ideas? , to prevent this kind of thing from happening, or to allow those who are lost in power to wake up in time?"
