Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Snow

Soon after the onset of winter, the first snow of the year will fall in northern China. After the heavy snow fell www.biquge.info human activities gradually decreased, so that only sporadic battles remained on the vast front from Shaanxi to Henan to Shandong.

Over the past nearly a month of fighting, the coalition of southern princes has shown remarkable courage. Or rather, under the persecution of the "Military Sitting Law", I had to show great courage. Facing the deep ditches and high bases of the Western Army, they launched waves of charges, and then turned into fragmented corpses.

Although the western army defended too much and the battle line was too long, no matter how many troops there were, they felt that they were not enough, but they had an absolute advantage in heavy firepower. In addition, the cavalry of the western army was also stronger than the cavalry of the south, and the firepower of the inland gunboats was sharp, and the corpses of the southern princes were quickly killed all over the field.

On the long front, the first to distinguish the results was not on the front line in Shandong and Anhui, but in Shaanxi. The old man Wang Wuwang has a high prestige among the swordsmen in Guanzhong, and he once led the soldiers of the Dadao Society to fight to the death with foreigners in the capital, so he has a group of experienced players who dare to fight and kill.

Although the Yasukuni Army claimed to want to defeat the warlords and expel the Western forces, their military discipline was not good after they started their troops. When there was no food, grass and ammunition, it was natural to start the idea of transferring them on the spot. Then, they fought with the local powers.

There is no need for the Western Army to personally end the battle, and with the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Dadao Society alone, the more than 10,000 people of the Yasukuni Army will not be able to find the north. What's more, there are many swordsmen and generals in the Yasukuni Army who come from the north, and these people have admired Wang Wu for a long time, and they have more or less learned some martial arts of the Great Sword Society. Hearing Old Man Wang's words, these people didn't say a word, and immediately turned back.

Although Yu Renyou and other generals of the Yasukuni Army worked hard to support and wanted to wait for the moment when the world changed, those swordsmen took the arms transported from Taiyuan and chased them all over the mountains and fields, and in the end they could only run away to Guangzhou to find the generalissimo Sun Wen who listened to the destiny of heaven and cried.

During this period, there was once a small group of the Yasukuni Army who opened a stockade. not only burned, killed, and plundered, but also locked up the old and weak women and children who did not run away in the house and burned them alive. The largest family in this village is surnamed Hu, and there is a distant relative named Hu Jingyi.

After knowing the news, Hu Jingyi, who was only thirteen years old at the time, rushed out of Chang'an City with more than a dozen people on horseback without saying a word. Subsequently, it was the legend of Hu Jingyi who slashed seven levels alone in the snowy night, chased and killed three hundred miles, and stabbed the enemy.

Chen Cheng was not surprised at all after knowing the result of the rout of the Yasukuni Army. Shaanxi used to be a powder keg, and there were heroes everywhere who couldn't get enough to eat. That is, in the past two years, chemical fertilizers can be produced in large quantities, so that they can cover the mouths of the whole family, so that a big man will not listen to the cry of the doll and wipe his tears in the corner.

Finally, this life has changed a little bit better, and there is a posture that is getting better and better, who is the group of people in the Yasukuni Army. Okay, Mr. Yu Youren is a little famous in Guanzhong, but can he be famous? If you hit a warlord or something, don't you just want to change someone to sit in the Dragon Court?

Although many of the old men in Guanzhong have never studied, they are not confused at all. What do you like, don't all the.

Taking advantage of the heavy snow, Yu Youren, who ran back to the warm city of Guangzhou in one go, said to Sun Wen bitterly: "The people don't know the meaning of the revolution at all, and they don't understand anything when they talk about the revolution. But if you talk about how you can get more than 200 catties of grain per acre of land, they will be elated. ”

Sun Wen comforted: "The future is bright, but the future is tortuous. Don't be discouraged by a single failure. Shaanxi is only a corner, and we must see that our army has already marched into the Central Plains, and we will soon be able to defeat those reactionary warlords. ”

Yu Youren was depressed, but he just kept sighing.

After the right Ren and others left the Generalissimo's Mansion, Hu Hanmin stepped forward and said: "I see that Yu Lao and they are already scared, and they are frightened by the enemy, and they are no longer brave. ”

Sun Wen nodded, then shook his head again, and said solemnly: "That's not to blame them, how do you know that the people of Shaanxi are so ignorant." It's just that I took some of their things, and then there are some problems with the style of men and women, which I think is normal. As a result, why did they shout and kill our revolutionary ranks? ”

"That's it!" Hu Hanmin said excitedly: "In my opinion, we should kill those Diao people ruthlessly, so that they can know what is called revolution." ”

After the excitement was over, Hu Hanmin said a little hesitantly: "But in this way, won't the enemy on the Shaanxi side be able to be drawn out and used on the battlefield in Henan?" If there are more enemies in Shaanxi, will Kaishen's plan still work? ”

"Don't worry!" Sun Wen said confidently: "Kaishen is a great talent in military affairs, and I believe in him very much." The Whampoa Army led by him fought very well, and they were all about to hit Luoyang. ”

"I think that person named Chang Kaishen is a fool!" The person who said this was a strong man named Han Yukun. He said loudly to Liu Zhenhua in front of him: "I think, let's not be with those people in the south!" ”

Liu Zhenhua is just twenty-two years old this year, and it is when he is energetic and bold, and he has Han Yukun, Wang Tianzong and other heroes, thinking that he can soar into the sky like the Black Dragon Society.

It's a pity that the attack on Luoyang failed the year before last, so he had to go to Shaanxi to avoid trouble for a while. It was not until Feng Guozhang sent Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and others to capture Henan that he returned from Shaanxi. In more than a year, relying on his previous connections and prestige, he raised an army of thousands of people.

But at this time, his ambition is not so great. What is the master of the Beijing Division, dominating the world and the like, I don't even bother to think about it. Now his goal has become to seek a province, just become a king of Shandong like Cao Degui.

The Southern Army's Northern Expedition, in his opinion, was another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Didn't the Black Dragon Society take the opportunity of the Gengzi Rebellion to soar into the sky and soar to the top? Liu Zhenhua, who has read several successful books, believes that as long as he grasps this opportunity, he will be able to realize his ambitions.

It's just that which side do you want to turn to? This is a problem.

Liu Zhenhua fell into deep thought.

The revolutionary army in the south offered a very high price, saying that after the success of the Northern Expedition, the whole of Henan would be handed over to him. Of course, this is a big talk, but he thinks that even if there is no whole Henan, then there is at least half of Henan, right? As long as he eats Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places into his stomach, he will be satisfied.
