The north will fight for a while and make peace for a while, but Wang Hengyue is doing vigorously in the south!

The forcible landing in Qiongzhou made Long Jiguang stunned.

The National Revolutionary Army, which had consolidated its beachhead, began to steadily implement its own battle plan.

Troops were sent from both sides, advancing steadily, and the resistance encountered was almost completely negligible. Long Jiguang's army retreated in stride, putting on a posture of a decisive battle in Haikou.

The only nerve-wracking thing was the harassment from the local natives, which, although it did not cause any damage to the National Revolutionary Army, still slowed down the advance of the various units.

Wang Hengyue and his subordinates were not in a hurry.

From the very beginning, Wang Hengyue made it very clear to the officers of [***] that in the battle of Qiongzhou, the war is secondary, and [***] will not encounter any strong challenges, and how to make Qiongzhou not recur after the main force leaves is the most important thing.

The [***] of the two divisions advanced very patiently, and every time they arrived at a place, they would first try their best to pacify and stabilize the place, and they would generally not pursue the locals who had participated in the attack who had been captured, which made the people panic at first, and the locals who had adopted a hostile attitude towards [***] gradually changed their attitudes.

In addition to the local Li Datong lord Nasu!

"Nasu? Who? Wang Hengyue asked casually.

"This person is the largest local lord, Tusi, entrenched in the Chengmai area, almost all of his sphere of influence nearby, when Long Jiguang ran to Qiongzhou, the first to visit him, and gave him a large number of weapons, materials, after getting the support of Nasu, Long Jiguang gained a firm foothold in Qiongzhou."

Wang Hengyue held a copy of the Li folklore story "Five Finger Mountain Immortals" in his hand, and then flipped through it: "Did you cause any casualties to our attack?" ”

"Two soldiers were wounded, and we also killed four of them and captured a dozen."

Wang Hengyue looked at the story in his hand, and actually laughed: "Don't say it, this story of the Li clan is really good, good-looking, Bao'er, you take it and take a look." ”

handed it over to Ye Bao'er beside him, and took a step forward: "Take Chengmai down for me, try to avoid casualties on both sides, and then divide Nasu's men and horses into two, all the way to the mountain pass, all the way to Fushan, and force him to come to me!" ”

"Yes!"

"Report, Long Jiguang's chief of staff, Gui Guangtang, asks to see the generalissimo!"

"Oh? It's finally here? It seemed that he had long known that this person would come, Wang Hengyue smiled and sat down: "Please." ”

Gui Guangtang walked in cautiously, and when he saw Wang Hengyue, he stood upright: "Gui Guangtang has seen the generalissimo!" ”

"Surrender is coming?" Wang Hengyue asked unhurriedly.

Gui Guangtang was stunned for a moment: "Surrender? No, on the orders of the Governor of the Dragon, he came to negotiate with the Generalissimo. ”

"Negotiations? What kind of judgment are you talking about? Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "Say, what are the conditions and requirements?" ”

Gui Guangtang hurriedly said everything that had been discussed before.

Wang Hengyue didn't know if he was listening carefully, and when Gui Guangtang finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Got it, you go back first." ”

His attitude made Gui Guangtang inexplicable, and he hesitated there: "The generalissimo means agreed?" ”

"Promise?" Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Chief of Staff Gui, Long Jiguang's governor has long been dismissed, don't call it that way in the future."

Gui Guangtang smiled awkwardly, and Wang Hengyue continued:

"Now that Long Jiguang has become a turtle in an urn, I can lay down his lair overnight, what qualifications does he have to negotiate with me? Well, I would like to make a few demands and conditions. Long Jiguang immediately ordered all troops to lay down their arms and surrender to me, and those who do not support the military and political axe do not need him to express his position. I can allow him to leave a platoon of personal guards and weapons, and I don't know where he wants to go after that. As for the property Chief of Staff Gui, go back and tell Long Jiguang that his tens of millions of assets are the hard-earned money of Liangguang, so put it here, he can't take it away. ”

Gui Guangtang quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Generalissimo, this"

"That's the best I can give him!"

Wang Hengyue interrupted him: "I don't want Qiongzhou to be damaged by the war again, so I gave Long Jiguang such conditions." All my main forces are divided into two routes, and they can occupy the entire Qiongzhou at any time, but if there is a peaceful solution, I will still try to choose to solve it peacefully, and go back and tell Long Jiguang that I will keep him enough money for him to live, but those that he looted from Guangzhou, don't take them away, this money is easy to have nightmares. ”

He spoke very calmly and in a tone that was not harsh at all. But every word fell into Gui Guangtang's ears, but it was pierced like a needle.

In Gui Guangtang's opinion, Wang Hengyue didn't take Long Jiguang's strength in his eyes at all, and Qiongzhou was also at his fingertips. There is only one path that Long Jiguang can choose:

Surrender!

It's hard to accept.

Gui Guangtang still wanted to make one last effort: "Generalissimo, do you really think that you can capture Haikou?" ”

Wang Hengyue smiled: "What I care about is not whether Haikou can be captured, but how it should be governed after it is taken." Chief of Staff Gui, I heard that you are very good at governing the locality, can you tell me what to do? ”

Gui Guangtang was completely stunned. Wang Hengyue's words are really too domineering. He just didn't take Long Jiguang in his eyes!

"Come, Chief of Staff Gui, sit down." Wang Hengyue actually invited him to sit down: "I let you go just now, but I was actually reluctant, you are really a little overkill to help Long Jiguang." ”

Gui Guangtang sat down awkwardly.

Wang Hengyue thought for a while: "In the war, you are not as good as me; Govern Qiongzhou, I'm not as good as you. I heard that after Long Jiguang arrived in Qiongzhou, you helped him gain a firm foothold in the shortest possible time, and got the support of the local aborigines, tell me, how did you do it? ”

"This"

"Chief of Staff Gui, in fact, I don't need to say much, the situation in Qiongzhou is here, whether Long Jiguang can hold it or not, you know better than me, Long Jiguang is in the wild, do you continue to follow him like a lost dog? You have to find a way out for yourself. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. ”

This is already said from the bottom of my heart. Gui Guangtang sighed softly:

"Generalissimo, when I arrived in Qiongzhou, Lord Long, the governor of Long"

Long Jiguang "Governor Envoy" is really a little unspeakable, in that hesitation for a long time, Gui Guangtang called an "adult" out: "When I arrived in Qiongzhou, I was constantly hostile and attacked by the natives, and then I helped him come up with an idea, and gathered the main local Tusi, in addition to promising to respect their customs and habits, protect their safety, but also promised to teach them new agriculture, water conservancy, medical technology, summed up in a sentence, there are more people with hoes, and fewer people with guns." ”

"There are more people with hoes, and fewer people with guns." Wang Hengyue muttered this sentence, and his eyes lit up.

This sentence is to the point.

"What about Nasu? Is it as simple as just giving him weapons and supplies? Wang Hengyue asked with a deep groan.

"In addition to weapons and materials, he also promised to hand over the Chengmai area to him for governance." Gui Guangtang said: "This person's ambition is actually very big, but he is using us temporarily, and I decided to stabilize his heart first, and then slowly solve his problem, if it is not for the generalissimo's sudden landing, which disrupted the plan I made, or now Nasu is no longer there"

Wang Hengyue quickly understood what he meant: "What if I hand over Nasu to you to dispose of?" ”

Gui Guangtang didn't quite understand.

Wang Hengyue smiled: "I mean, when I drive Long Jiguang away, Qiongzhou needs someone to help me govern." I also said, you are not as good as me in the war, and I am not as good as you in governing the place, I want to appoint you as the civil affairs officer of Qiongzhou to help me manage this place, what do you think? ”

"I'll govern Qiongzhou!"

This unexpected appointment caught Gui Guangtang off guard.

Originally, looking at Wang Hengyue's resolute attitude, it would be quite good if he could spare a life for himself after he won the entire Qiongzhou, but he didn't want to kill himself very much, and he still wanted to appoint himself as the civil affairs official here?

The generalissimo's mind is really elusive.

"The next Qiongzhou is not a good ability, but it is really great to manage this place so that there will be no more continuous rebellions here in the future." Wang Hengyue said very seriously:

"The warlords are fighting, you fight me, I fight you, and in the end, it is this country that causes the most damage. After the reunification by force, the most important thing is to restore order in the country. Talent like you is what I urgently need in the future. I mean, Long Jiguang must go into the wilderness, and his army must all surrender, and I will arrest Nasu for you again to help you lay a good foundation for governing Qiongzhou, and then I will not intervene in what you do in Qiongzhou. ”

Being taken so seriously, Gui Guangtang's heart was excited: "Generalissimo, you, you really trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will repeat?" ”

"Yes, I have to trust you." Wang Hengyue said lightly: "It's a pity to kill a talent, you don't have too many concerns, in terms of the scope of the country, you are not a traitor if you transfer from Long Jiguang to me, but if you want to annihilate your talent, what is it?" Chief of Staff Gui, think carefully about my words. ”

Gui Guangtang's mouth trembled, and it took a long time before he said, "Generalissimo, please leave Lord Long's life." ”

"If you don't kill him, I won't kill him." Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "I didn't kill Liu Xianshi, I didn't kill Lu Rongting, I will let him go like Long Jiguang, go to Hong Kong, go to Shanghai, he can go wherever he wants." ”

Gui Guangtang stood up: "I'll go back and persuade Long Jiguang to put down his weapons and stop resisting!" ”
