After returning to Nanjing, Ye Ji and Tang Baichuan chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, built a high altar of tens of meters in the Chaotian Palace in Nanjing, on this day the sky was clear and clear, the wind was harmonious, Chang Zhenbang carried a group of civil and military officials in the southeast to climb the stairs under the support of the guard division, walked through the Lingxing Gate, entered the Dacheng Gate, worshiped the Dacheng Palace, and then came to the high altar built behind, only to see that the high altar was surrounded by martial law troops. Chang Zhenbang led the crowd to the high altar. Langsheng shouted: "It has been more than ten years since the Xinhai civil unrest, first there was the Kwai Chou Rebellion, half of the world was caught in the flames of war, the protectorate of the country for a year, the southwest was separated, and then there were three major wars between the North and the South, one war in Zhiwan, one war in Central China, and one war in Zhifeng. In the name of revolution, the people were incited into rioting, provoking the north-south dispute to eliminate the authority of the central government, so that China became a vassal slave of a foreign country. Realize China's centennial rejuvenation and build a unified government of the people. Although Zhenbang knows the difficulties here, he also knows where the righteousness lies, and it is incumbent on him. Zhenbang asks for the people's life, eliminates traitors for the country, success or failure, regardless of anything, any sacrifice, at any cost! The road of south-east and south-south expeditions has no view of the north and south regions, and there is no distinction between the old and the new. If anyone relies on force, is willing to take risks, seeks to endanger the foundation of our southeast, resists the rebels of our southeastern and north-south expeditions, is willing to serve the imperialists, and does not hesitate to trap the country in a land of no return, then he will regard the people of the whole country as the public enemy and swear to destroy it and clear it! The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are all seen in the world! Panic God, bless me China! ”

Tang Baichuan took advantage of the situation and shouted: "The Northern Expedition will be victorious, and China will be unified!" ”

Ye Ji and other civil and military officials also roared hoarsely: "The Northern Expedition will win, and China will be unified!" ”

Then the officers and soldiers of the surrounding guard divisions also began to shout with tears in their eyes: "The Northern Expedition will be won, and China will be unified!" ”

When it spread outside, more and more people began to shout: "The Northern Expedition will win, and China will be unified!" ”

……

"The Northern Expedition will win, and China will be unified!"

Looking at the high altar down the mountain, the tsunami-like shouts sounded. Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but be enthusiastic, at this time, Tang Baichuan held a red flag in his hand and shook it in the wind, Ye Ji shouted: "The Northern Expedition parade begins!" ”

Then the pre-arranged Sixth Army of the southeast began to walk in high spirits, don't look at the fact that these people have not received the news for a long time, but they are really walking in style, walking in step for a while, and raising their legs for a while, if their combat effectiveness is also as good as they performed in the military parade ceremony, then Chang Zhenbang can rest assured about the security of Jiangsu.

After the grand military parade, Chang Zhenbang announced the official start of the Northern Expedition, and all the guards divisions were well-trained with guns and ammunition to embrace Chang Zhenbang, who came down from the high altar, passed the Shence Gate, went out of Hailing Gate, and went straight to Anhui.

At the same time, the First Army of the Southeast Army stationed in Yueyang immediately assembled at Yueyang Tower after Li Tingyu received a telegram from the city of Nanjing to carry out the Northern Expedition, and after Li Tingyu finished speaking, he immediately waved his army north into Hubei. Chen Jiongming's Second Southeast Army Corps, which was stationed in Luoyin, began to move north almost at the same time, and went straight to Hebi, and the new Hebi guard Zhou Jincheng saw the Southeast Army coming, and he really scolded, saying: "These Southeast bastards, why do they always go against Lao Tzu, is my Zhou Jincheng a soft persimmon who is easy to bully?" It doesn't make sense! If Lao Tzu doesn't teach this guy a good lesson today, these people won't know that Lord Ma has three eyes. After speaking, he poured out of the nest, and as soon as the two armies looked at each other, Zhou Jincheng was really as cold as water, and he had the heart to pull the adjutant out and kill him for two hours, and he dared to call Chen Jiongming the damn department? How can there be so many people in one division? If this is a real knife and a real gun, his own people are really not enough to stuff their teeth, but just like this, it is really embarrassing enough, because of this, Chen Jiongming's army has rushed over, Zhou Jincheng shouted, turned his head and ran, and the 29th Division behind followed and fled back to Hebi City. Who knew that before they had time to close the city gate, Chen Jiongming's department also broke in, Zhou Jincheng had no choice but to turn around and go north again, and ran to Puyang after leaving Hebi City. After learning that Chang Zhenbang swore to the Northern Expedition, he almost immediately strengthened Puyang's city fortifications, and forcibly recruited the people to go to the city to help defend the city, and at the same time built a dam in the west of Taiqian County overnight to throttle the flow.

If time permits, Puyang will not be more solid under Yue Zhaolin's management, but time does not wait for anyone, just after properly handling the affairs of Fan County, Taiqian County and other places, he received the news of the loss of Hebi, and then Zhou Jincheng's 29th Division was not much, and a lot of them drove neatly to Puyang City. For such a defender who didn't let go of a shot, Yue Zhaolin had no choice but to reluctantly allow them to enter the city to help defend, and that night he also arranged a table of good wine, good food and good women to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhou Jincheng's department.

Zhou Jincheng said: "Chen Jiongming is now overcrowded, there are at least three divisions and regiments, brother, don't be deceived by spies." ”

Yue Zhaolin said lightly: "It doesn't matter, my city defense fortifications in Puyang are prepared for Chang Zhenbang's southeast army, no matter whether you win or lose, it is the time for me and Chang Zhenbang to settle accounts." What is just one Chen Jiongming? ”

"The old brother is arrogant, the little brother admires! It is said that the southeast and my 29th Division also have an old account settlement, and the younger brother is willing to help the elder brother here, and I hope that the elder brother will not refuse. Zhou Jincheng put on an expression full of sincerity and pride.

Yue Zhaolin lowered his head and smiled, and said: "One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs, now that the southeast is strong, Zhaolin is by no means invincible alone, so I naturally hope that a hero like Master Zhou will come to help me!" ”

"Well said, well said! At the time of the war, it would be good for the elder brother to rest assured to charge into battle, and the city defense has its own little brother to control it for you. Zhou Jincheng's eyes inadvertently flashed a sly light.

Yue Zhaolin looked at the cup in his hand, couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said: "Zhou Jincheng, Zhou Jincheng, you don't take me Yue Zhaolin too seriously, you actually hit Lao Tzu with a crooked brain, this is really a way in heaven you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break in!" Thinking of this, he waved his hand and raised the cup in his hand and said, "Come, my brother has made this cup, and we are a family." He drank it all down. Zhou Jincheng couldn't help but shout when he saw it: "Okay, refreshing!" Lao Tzu likes a refreshing person like my brother. After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and the topic of reality seemed to come to an end here, and the next thing was that the wind and snow were indecent. The woman invited by Yue Zhaolin was really beautiful and could talk, which was a double master, and after a while, Zhou Jincheng was confused and didn't know what day it was. However, Yue Zhaolin was very fresh, his eyes were still bright, and he smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you are drunk." Zhou Jincheng waved his hand and said with a big tongue: "No, no, let's continue to drink, continue to drink!" Seeing him like this, Yue Zhaolin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, I have some drinks here, but I just got my brother drunk, and tomorrow I will attack the Southeast Army, how should your 29th Division deal with it?" Zhou Jincheng was at a loss for what to do, and after Yue Zhaolin asked three or four times, this week Jin Chengcai said hesitantly: "Lao Tzu will write a note to you, and you kid will take Lao Tzu to transfer troops." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to dip the soup of the dish, and scribbled on the table, and when he had drawn enough, he smiled at Yue Zhaolin and said, "Brother, what do you think?" Yue Zhaolin sighed and said: "Brother, calligraphy, everyone, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the elder brother is not as good as you, but what if someone imitates the false holy decree?" Zhou Jincheng smiled, ripped open the placket, leaked out the white cloth shirt inside, and lifted the foot of the white cloth shirt, and the most intimate side leaked out a hidden small pocket, took out a small chapter from the small pocket, and shook it towards Yue Zhaolin very proudly: "See, only this small chapter can represent Lao Tzu, otherwise the handwriting is fake!" So saying, he fell to the ground with a thud and fell asleep. Yue Zhaolin stretched out his hand to pick up a chopstick, and after turning around his hand a few times, suddenly, as fast as lightning, pierced into Zhou Jincheng's nostrils, Zhou Jincheng was about to scream, but Yue Zhaolin grabbed his mouth first, Zhou Jincheng tossed a few times, then kicked his legs, and bled to death. This sudden scene frightened the two women who accompanied the wine, Yue Zhaolin walked over gently, hugged left and right, and said, "From today on, you will be my Yue Zhaolin's wife and concubine." I am still very tolerant of my own people, but if anyone loses Lao Tzu, even Lao Tzu will never let go of Lao Tzu at the end of the world. ”

When the two girls heard this, they suddenly had the feeling of falling directly from hell to heaven, and they were overjoyed to use 120,000 points of effort to please Yue Zhaolin, Yue Zhaolin smiled slightly, and hugged into the bedroom, the spring night was short, the red waves turned over the quilt, you and me, the way of the three, or Lebi immortals, the next day, Chen Jiongming's army came violently, Yue Zhaolin had already used the note to change the chapter to take the 29th Division for his own use, or for defense, or for charging, and sent his own 28th Division to supervise, It was also quite lively with Chen Jiongming, not on par, but they also had their own victories and defeats, so that the southeast army was not enough to attack Puyang.

After a stalemate for three days, Chang Zhenbang's guard division entered Hebi from Anhui, and after hearing the news, the first officers and soldiers enthusiastically asked for battle again, if the first fierce battle of the Northern Expedition was won, what a great glory it would take, but Chen Jiongming shook his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord is here, this Puyang City is like a little girl without pants, let our Northern Expeditionary Army enter by itself." ”
