Soon after the Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army captured Changsha, Li Zongren and Situ Yong commanded the Second and Third Front Armies to make persistent efforts, and within less than a month, the two big cities of Miluo and Yueyang, and 100,000 troops were on the Yangtze River, pointing their swords at Wuhan, and there was a tendency to smash the Yellow Dragon.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was sharp and unstoppable, and the world shook. People did not expect that the coup d'état in Beijing had not yet subsided, and that the Southern and Northern Expeditions had once again rolled up a monstrous wave, and the situation was developing too fast, and the Beijing government was in chaos, and there was no time to deal with it, and it could not cope with it.

Originally, Feng Yuxiang was worried that Wu Peifu would lead the direct army to counterattack, but now Wu Peifu himself is difficult to protect, so Feng Yuxiang is just cheaper.

Seeing that the direct line was falling apart, the National Revolutionary Army led by Feng Yuxiang took the opportunity to incorporate the direct army and attacked Zhili, Henan and other places, which was quite popular.

"It's a conspiracy! Sure enough, that traitor has already colluded with the South! ”

Wu Peifu couldn't help but grit his teeth, angry, and almost didn't want to mention the man's name. In the past few days of being stranded in Tianjin, bad news has come one after another, which has made him very annoyed.

has been in the world for decades, and he is a tiger guts, how could he have thought that he would be beaten like a "water dog" today?

Guangzhou's Northern Expedition was just right, obviously premeditated, to say that he had no contact with Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu didn't believe it. In his opinion, Feng Yuxiang was mad, not only colluded with Zhang Zuolin but also with Chen Jiongming, and joined forces to put himself to death.

Combined with all the encounters since the start of the war, Wu Peifu realized that this was a huge conspiracy against his immediate family and himself, but unfortunately he didn't realize it.

"This time it was miserably calculated!" Wu Peifu sighed, slumped in his chair, his face was depressed, the hero was short of breath, and he was no longer heroic.

"Yushuai, the situation in the north is irreparable, go back to the south quickly! Do we still have half of the country? The staff hurriedly persuaded.

"Yes, Yushuai. The Southern Army is menacing this time, and its plans are very big. It's time to decide! ”

……

The room was shrouded in a faint sorrow, and there was a faint sadness and indignation in the exhortations of the staff and subordinates.

If Hubei was lost, Henan would be under the attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army and Feng Yuxiang, and Wu Peifu's foundation would soon be uprooted. So. He can't help but fight to the death, at least keep Hubei, and there is no chance of a comeback.

Seeing everyone's frowning brows, Wu Peifu's heart sank, and he immediately decided: "Order Xiao Yaonan to resolutely counterattack the Northern Expeditionary Thief Army, I want to go back and reorganize the mountains and rivers." ”

Then he led the guards and staff to hurry south. With the cooperation of Duan Qirui and others, the southbound journey was easy.

As soon as he got on the boat, the news reached Canton, causing a small shock.

Chen Jiongming was a guest at the Situ Mansion, and he couldn't help but worry after hearing the news. "Wu Peifu should not be underestimated, his army is a long-fought division, and this is not a small trouble!"

"Hmm. It's really a lot of trouble, but it's just a car. Most of the elite of the direct army were lost in the north. It has become a declining trend, and it is difficult to set off big waves after all. ”

Deng Keng retorted disapprovingly. The Northern Expeditionary Army was as strong as a rainbow and its troops were strong. He, the commander-in-chief, is very confident in this.

"I think so, too, but you have to be careful in everything." Situ Nan nodded, looked at the high-spirited Deng Keng, and sighed in his heart, if he hadn't appeared by himself, this unlucky guy would have died in the political struggle between Sun Chen and Chen a long time ago, right?

The Northern Expedition went smoothly, Li Zongren, Situ Yong, Bai Chongxi and others led the Second and Third Front Armies to attack the city and conquer the city, invincible, it is estimated that the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition sitting in Guangzhou can't bear it, right?

"Sun Xian's life is not long. After all, we must find a way to survive for future generations, if the other party knows how to advance and retreat, and is willing to join us, we should be tolerant. ”

Situ Nandao, looking at Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng, his face was a little more solemn.

The Western Route Army marched north from Hunan. After passing through the two lakes, the progress is smooth. Deng Keng was about to command the First Front Army to move north from Fujian, and the Kuomintang occupied Zhangzhou and other places on the border of southern Fujian and Fujian and Guangdong, which happened to block the way of the First Front Army to the north.

In any case, in order to ensure the safety of the Eastern Route and Northern Expeditionary Army and prevent the enemy from attacking the base areas in Guangdong, which were empty of troops, the threat of the Kuomintang troops in Fujian must be resolutely eliminated.

"Yes, things have dragged on for a few years, and there will be a result after all!"

Chen Jiongming sighed, recalling the past, Sun and Chen cooperated seamlessly, but unfortunately because of political differences, they went farther and farther, and now they finally reached the situation of meeting each other.

With Sun Wen's recklessness and stubbornness, Chen Jiongming had to pessimistically believe that that guy must have made a decision, no matter whether it was right or wrong, he would go all the way to the black.

Chen Jiongming, Deng Keng and others joined the Zhi Gong Dang and became the most powerful force in southern China, while Sun Wen's Kuomintang retreated to the border of Guangdong and Fujian and seized southern Fujian, and its strength should not be underestimated, but without the rich Guangdong as a base, its strength was much weaker after all.

Sun Wen must be jealous of Chen Jiongming and others, but to be specific, there is no hatred between the two sides. In the past four years, the two sides have tried a lot of small actions, and you have been happy to come and go, but there has been no big fight, on the contrary, the Kuomintang wants to gain a foothold in southern Fujian, face the Beiyang forces, and occasionally get a lot of help from Guangzhou.

It's just that Sun Wen and others have always thought that the Zhi Gong Dang occupied Guangdong, which originally belonged to the Kuomintang, and their hearts were unbalanced, but the two Guangxi were "liberated" by Chen Jiongming and others from the old Gui warlord Lu Rongting with the support of the Zhi Gong Party, and they had nothing to do with the Kuomintang.

"Speaking of which, it's all about the territory. In this way, if the Kuomintang can put aside its prejudices and cooperate with us, we will give them a piece of territory in the northern circle!"

Situ Nan suddenly built a great way. In his plan, the area south of the Yangtze River is definitely the territory of the Zhi Gong Party, with sufficient population and abundant resources to meet the needs of industrial construction in the next decade.

Now there are forces such as Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yuxiang, and Yan Xishan in the north, and possibly Wu Peifu who retreated from the south, and they will definitely be in chaos.

Situ Nan never thought that after the Zhi Gong Dang fought desperately for the central power like the Kuomintang in history, and conquered the area south of the Yangtze River, as long as he did not go north and immersed himself in construction, it would not cause those warlords in the north to hate the enemy and join forces to deal with the Zhi Gong regime in the south.

In the absence of sufficient strength to unify the whole country, it is better to support a number of agents as a buffer, so as not to be dragged into the endless warlord melee, which will waste the country's strength and cheapen outsiders.

Situ Nan thought silently, this plan had been in his mind for a long time, but it was not fully revealed.

China's problems are complicated, mainly because foreign forces are too powerful, and they absolutely do not allow China to stand up lightly, just like a hundred years ago, the fragmented German regions on the Western European continent, the German regions are full of internal contradictions, they are independent, foreign forces are constantly interfering, and the Germans have a low social status, and they are often reduced to foreign mercenaries.

The Kingdom of Prussia was only one of the princes, but it was still unified by Bismarck, step by step. This is of reference significance to the current revolutionary government in Guangzhou.

Situ Nan has always liked to be planned and premeditated, down-to-earth, low-key and not shouting slogans, which is why Chen Jiongming, a person who is not positive and not very courageous, but can control his ambitions and do things pragmatically, as a partner.

Now it seems that Situ Nan did the right thing.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to drive tigers and wolves, but I can't say that they are picky." Chen Jiongming gritted his teeth and said.

Deng Keng nodded in acquiescence. is also in the same vein of the Cantonese army, if it is not necessary, he does not want to meet each other.

After Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng left, Situ Nan looked back and thought about it, feeling that he was a more insidious person, but this might be a better choice!

As for Wu Peifu, is he rich? Are there enough weapons? It's not a problem to clean him up. It's really not good, you can still transfer troops from South China!

……

A few days later, Wu Peifu's ship arrived in Hankou, but encountered wind and waves on the way, coupled with depression, poor health, and a minor illness. When he got off the ship, his face was pale, his steps were vain, and he almost fell.

After the defeat of the north, the coup d'état in Beijing, and the heavy blows of the Northern Expedition in the south, Wu Peifu has aged a lot, although he tried his best to maintain his heroic self-confidence, but he has no longer been as radiant as before.

"Yu Shuai, the enemy army is large, the firepower is very fierce, there are countless aircraft and cannons, and it is also equipped with a large number of ironclad weapons, this kind of army, I have never seen it in my life!"

Xiao Yaonan said with a bitter face, secretly regretting it, Wu Peifu had ordered him to shrink the defensive line, and he did so, but he didn't do it thoroughly, plus the Beiyang Army has always despised the Southern Army, so he suffered a big loss.

The Northern Expeditionary Army is fundamentally different from any army in the country, not to mention the advanced weapons, the ammunition is poured over without money, and the shot is particularly vicious, as soon as it is shot, it will be beaten to the death, just like killing the enemy of the father, and it does not understand the rules at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yaonan felt aggrieved, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Wu Peifu, the jade handsome, well, his face was haggard, his spirit was not very good, and it was estimated that he was "injured" very seriously in the north.

Wu Peifu's heart sank, and his face was covered with a faint layer of gray.

Xiao Yaonan is a rare general under him, who has made a lot of meritorious contributions in the south and the north, and now this beloved general is so depressed, is he frightened by the Northern Expeditionary Army?

"What is the situation of the Southern Army?"

Wu Peifu stared at Xiao Yaonan with a solemn face. Hunan is where he started, but he didn't expect to rush back from the north in a hurry, in just a few days, the whole Hunan was lost, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and Xiao Yaonan's gaze was a little more sharp.

"Come on!" Xiao Yaonan gently avoided Wu Peifu's gaze, and turned to a man with a haggard face beside him.

Zhao Hengti, not long ago, was the overseer of Hunan with infinite scenery, favored by Wu Peifu, and commanded 50,000 Hunan soldiers when he was at his best. At this moment, with his head down, he became a single commander, without a single soldier in his hands, and ran to Hubei, hoping to make a comeback with the support of his direct family. RS
