The reason why Liu Yuan said that Tingsi Bridge and He Shengqiao were not completely nonsense with Ye Ting, but that these two places were the famous places of their independent regiment, and Liu Yuan said this also in the hope that he could fight side by side with the independent regiment again in the future.

It is not impossible to say that it is impossible to fight in two places, but the consumption of the Third Division in this battle is still relatively large, and Hunan has not been completely recovered, if you go anywhere, there is only one possibility, that is, you have been wrapped dumplings.

Liu Yuan was not a very arrogant person, and chose to pursue in the direction of the enemy's retreat, and successfully took Sifen and Liling. Then he rushed to Hengshan, cut off the enemy's Eighth Army's line of communication with Guangdong, and broke the enemy's attempt to control southern Hunan.

Chiang Kai-shek was very clear about the performance of his disciple, and although he was in Guangdong, he was still very concerned about Liu Yuan's performance.

His original idea was to let him go on vacation with Jiang Xianyun, but Liu Yuan actually asked for the Third Division to go to Hunan for training, and then secretly asked himself for battle, so there were these big battles.

Chiang Kai-shek and even the entire revolutionary government of Guangzhou were very satisfied with Liu Yuan's performance in Anren, Liling, and Hengshan, and the commendation order had been issued several times.

At the same time, seeing that the Third Division could beat Wu Peifu's direct army, the Fourth Army, the Eighth Army, and the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army went north one after another.

The 3rd Division continued to march at great speed, conquered Xiangtan and Changsha, captured the enemy defender Ye Kaixin alive, and Ye Ting of the Independent Regiment also arrived immediately, but after all, it was a step late and did not catch up with the big battle. At the same time, Liu Yuan also won the reputation of General Fei.

At the same time that the Third Army made repeated military exploits, He Long led his troops to occupy Changde, besieged western Hubei, conquered Xiangyin, Yiyang and other places, and captured thousands of enemies, and this old commander also entered Liu Yuan's sight.

Liu Yuan cooperated with He Long, and the three divisions forcibly crossed the Miluo River, surrounded the self-proclaimed impregnable Pingjiang City in a roundabout way, and conquered Yueyang, so that the battle in the entire territory of Hunan was basically over.

On August 15, 1926, Chiang Kai-shek led the people to finally arrive in Changsha, where a military conference would be held to discuss the second phase of the battle plan.

And since Liu Yuan and He Long took Yueyang, there was basically no war for the time being, he wanted to march to Hesheng Bridge first, but was rejected by the Military Committee, Liu Yuan could not do anything except scold them in private.

Liu Yuan's march into Hunan this time gave Chiang Kai-shek a big face, and Chiang Kai-shek was ready to personally award him the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and he would also hold a military parade in Changsha.

Don't think that military parades are the patent of CP, the Kuomintang also loves military parades very much.

The location of the parade was in the Daxiao Field outside the east gate of Changsha, and the first to appear was Li Zongren's Seventh Army from Guangxi, although the Seventh Army could fight, but it was very poor, and even the clothes were in tatters, which provoked reporters to shoot all the way, which made Chiang Kai-shek very dissatisfied, and secretly said that Li Zongren was playing with himself, but in fact, where Li Zongren was playing with caution, Guangxi was really poor.

Chiang Kai-shek rode on a tall horse, wearing a marshal's uniform, wearing a long sword at his waist, and in front of the three armies, he looked magnificent and very atmospheric.

Chiang was also very satisfied with his own outfit, riding a horse step by step to hit the front of the Third Division, the military uniform of the Third Division also looked very shabby because of many major battles, and there was even smoke and dust on it that had not been washed off, but Chiang Kai-shek could still feel the murderous aura of the Third Division.

Chiang Kai-shek said three good words in succession, in other people's armies, Chiang Kai-shek always took a look at the horse, and Chiang Kai-shek did stop for a long time in the third division.

Chiang Kai-shek held a horsewhip in one hand, dismounted and walked in front of Liu Yuan, if I had a hundred three divisions, I would be able to unify China within three years, you have worked hard in the auxiliary country, and the three divisions have worked hard.

"Serve the people!" Liu Yuan just subconsciously shouted the slogan of later generations, and then the entire third division subconsciously shouted with the division commander.

Chiang Kai-shek's tears suddenly had a tear-like touch, Chiang Kai-shek patted Liu Yuan's shoulder, "What a good one to serve the people, the great fortune of the country." ”

Chiang Kai-shek rode on a military horse and asked the adjutant to bring a military horse to Liu Yuan, "Review it with the principal, one day in the future, if I am old, you will take over my class." ”

"Headmaster, student me." Liu Yuan couldn't react to Chiang Kai-shek's approach for a while, and he didn't know whether Chiang Kai-shek was testing himself or sincerely.

"Fuguo, don't you want to?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Liu Yuan with a little sadness, couldn't his best student look down on his position?

Liu Yuan finally saw Chiang Kai-shek's eyes clearly at this time, very warm and pure, no matter what happened to Chiang Kai-shek in the future, at least he was sincere now.

Liu Yuan nodded, mounted a white horse, and followed Chiang Kai-shek closely, one horse behind Chiang Kai-shek.

When Liu Yuan rode on the horse, everyone was stunned, Chiang Kai-shek was only forty years old, and it was the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period that he began to train a successor, and this successor turned out to be the young Liu Yuan.

Thinking about it, everyone suddenly realized that Chiang Kai-shek started with Whampoa, and Liu Yuan was the leader of the Whampoa Young Zhuang faction, if Chiang Kai-shek had that day, only Liu Yuan could drive Whampoa.

Seeing that Liu Yuan could ride a horse and follow Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang colleagues were happy and jealous, happy that everyone knew Liu Yuan's ability, and if he took over the principal's class in the future, the Kuomintang would definitely get better and better, which was more like a spur to make Liu Yuan work harder.

However, Liu Yuan's age has to make some people jealous, including Yu Jishi and He Jinhan, who have always thought that they can actually do what Liu Yuan did, but because they have been doing things by Chiang Kai-shek's side and have no chance.

The military music has been continuing, and Chiang Kai-shek has also woken up from the earth-shattering service to the people of the Third Division at this moment, he was obviously impulsive just now, he is still young, and he will not be like this in order to win over Liu Yuan.

That's it, since he has done it, he will not regret it, anyway, he will do it to CP in the future, Liu Yuan, as his successor, will definitely not fall to CP, even if he sympathizes with CP, his soldiers will not agree.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered while moving forward, and suddenly found that there was a soldier in front, the number was not very large, but the military prestige was very good, it looked like a little bit of a third division, and the weapons and equipment were very advanced, and there were even chariots.

"Whose troops is that?" Chiang Kai-shek turned around and asked Liu Yuan.

"It's an independent regiment, Ye Ting's troops." Liu Yuan whispered in the back.

Seeing that the military might of the opposite side was so strong, Chiang Kai-shek was immediately very unhappy in his heart, and the number of opponents was not very large, otherwise Chiang Kai-shek would probably have moved his mind to eradicate them at this moment.

Although he was unhappy, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand at the Independent Regiment, and the commanders of the Independent Regiment also knew that President Chiang was not interested in him, so he did not respond enthusiastically.

Therefore, the troops were all reviewed, and they came to the front of the Eighth Army, which was very average in the performance of the Northern Expedition, and Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate to look at it.

But just as Chiang Kai-shek was moving forward, Tang Shengzhi, in order to curry favor with Chiang Kai-shek, actually let the troops bluff and "serve the people." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's horse suddenly became startled, let out a long roar, the front hooves rose into the air, and then galloped, Chiang Kai-shek's body had been tilted from the side of the horse, his feet were still on the stirrups, but his hands were no longer able to grasp the reins, and Chiang Kai-shek was about to be thrown under the horse, or let the horse pull forward.

At this time, Liu Yuan, who had been behind Chiang Kai-shek, rode forward, bent his waist from the horse, made a submarine fishing for the moon, fished up Chiang Kai-shek, and then got off the horse himself and personally led the horse for Chiang Kai-shek.

The people watching the parade also took a deep breath, it was really dangerous just now. The expedition is imminent, if Chiang Kai-shek has three longs and two shorts, what should he do with this Northern Expedition? No one knows what this is.

Chiang Kai-shek also secretly thought in his heart, Liu Yuan is really his lucky star, he just had the idea of letting him succeed in the future, he saved himself once, counting the previous times, he is really his great benefactor.

Chiang Kai-shek had been in Shanghai for a long time before, and he paid attention to the distinction between grievances and grievances, and he remembered everything Liu Yuan did to him.

Everyone has their own thoughts at the moment, and Tang Shengzhi is the same, he is a superstitious person, so he found a monk to ask about it afterwards.

The monk's surname Gu and Tang Shengzhi said, "The general's departure from the division and the fall of the flag and the horse are a bad omen, and Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition will be more auspicious." ”

"What about Liu Yuan? He pulled Chiang Kai-shek up. Tang Shengzhi asked eagerly.

Monk Gu shook his head and said, "This son is a descendant of Wuqu Xing, a heavenly auxiliary star, and he has the responsibility of the Savior, so Jiang is in danger, and this heaven is also determined." ”

When the monk said this, Tang Shengzhi's face suddenly became very ugly, and he was still the boss of Chiang Kai-shek, so what do I want you to do?

Seeing Tang Shengzhi's expression, the monk suddenly realized, and then said, "However, before Chiang Kai-shek fell from the Eighth Army, it can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek was still defeated by the Eighth Army." ”

After the monk said this, Tang Shengzhi had a few more smiles on his face, how about you Chiang Kai-shek with the blessing of Wuqu Xing, doesn't it still make me restrained? Tang Shengzhi also had an antipathy from then on, and it was not until the time of the Ninghan split that Tang Shengzhi went east to fight against Jiang, and there was a ginger soup war.

However, what the monk said is indeed very accurate and effective, as for where it is, we will talk about it later.
