In early March, Deng Zixuan decided to secretly move the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army to Wuhan to facilitate more effective command of front-line operations. In order to hide people's eyes and ears and play a role in secrecy, the relocation of the headquarters to Wuhan was carried out in secret. Deng Zixuan demanded that military government officials not carry out any ceremonies to see them off, and for this reason he and Zhang Zhidong repeatedly negotiated and reached an agreement. At the same time, the headquarters personnel are not allowed to bring their families, so naturally Wan'er has to stay in Guangzhou.

Some time ago, Deng Zixuan did everything that should be done, and he took the trouble to ask for what he should be told. He knew in his heart that he would not return after leaving Guangzhou this time, which meant that the military government would open a new chapter in history. The 6 years in Guangzhou were the most critical 6 years of Deng Zixuan's life. It is also the six years that condense a great era, and the six years in which China is moving towards national rejuvenation. The military junta, which was born in six years, has become stronger day by day, and now it is time to dominate the fate of the land of China.

It was late at night, and there were still two hours left before staring at the car. At this moment, Wan'er was silently packing up, looking very calm. As a wife, Wan'er naturally finds it difficult to part with her husband, and as a new woman of the times, she must support her husband to leave. Now Wan'er is no longer a good wife and mother of a small jasper-style family, but a new woman of the times who has the same ideals, ambitions, breathing and destiny as her husband. While packing up, Wan'er tirelessly told the guards to pay attention to Deng Zixuan's daily life and diet from time to time, showing the woman's carefulness bit by bit.

At this moment, Deng Zixuan stood in front of the window, looking at the city of Guangzhou, where thousands of lights were lit, and his heart was fluctuating. This expedition meant the beginning of a new journey, and it meant that something more unknown appeared in front of you. At this moment, Deng Zixuan felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, and he silently warned himself that he must keep a clear head, the new journey has begun, and he should be more cautious.

"Zixuan, it's not too early, it's time for you to go!" Wan'er's soft voice came from behind him, Deng Zixuan turned around and looked at his wife's inseparable gaze, he knew in his heart that although Wan'er didn't say anything, everything she thought in her heart was written on her face. Deng Zixuan opened his arms and took Wan'er into his arms and said affectionately: "Wan'er, do you remember." Ten years ago, I promised to take you to the Tiananmen Tower of Bauhinia City one day, and that day is coming. Wan'er! I promise that next time I meet you in the capital, I will meet you in the capital! "Zixuan! I'm sure you can do it, let's make an appointment to see you in Beijing! Wan'er buried her head in her husband's chest.

Deng Zixuan, Pei Gejin and other headquarters personnel met at the station, and a few minutes after boarding the train, the train slowly left the station in the night. Deng Zixuan looked at his pocket watch, the train was very punctual, it was exactly 12 midnight. This special train does not stop at any station along the way, except for adding water and coal. In the train schedule, this special train is just an ordinary arms train.

Looking at the gradually distant Guangzhou City, Chief of Staff Pei Gejin retracted his gaze and said with some reluctance: "Farewell to Guangzhou City, a place that I will never forget." "Chief of Staff, you have lived in Guangzhou for more than ten years, and you have integrated into the city, and your accent obviously has a Guangzhou flavor." "Yes! Guangzhou is my second hometown, and the local accent may be unrecognizable. "Drinking water and thinking about the source, the hot land of Guangzhou will always remain in our memory, because it has witnessed the beginning of a great era." Deng Zixuan couldn't help but sigh.

Pei Gejin asked the guards to take out food and wine and said, "Commander-in-chief, it seems that you and I are not sleepy, you might as well have a drink." "It's good to relieve the feeling of loss and anesthetize." Deng Zixuan agreed. After a few glasses of wine, the conversation between the two naturally turned to the military field. "Commander-in-chief, this time the East Route Corps is facing a brutal attack, and the pressure is very great!" "It's good! Bai Sheng just screamed at the beginning, and a group of newborn calves would definitely be able to boost their morale. I think they should be clear about how difficult it is. ”

Pei Gejin continued: "Jiangsu is a key defense area of the coalition forces, and Bai Sheng will face a difficult battle, which is indeed a severe test for the Eastern Route Corps. Deng Zixuan said: "A brutal war is inevitable, and for the victory of the entire war, it is worth it for us to pay some losses locally." If Bai Sheng's breakthrough in Jiangsu goes well, it will be difficult for the coalition forces in the Central Plains to escape, and I believe that Bai Sheng will not let me down. He used to call himself a fast knife man, I want to see how this sharp fast knife is? ”

Pei Gejin said with a smile: "Since the completion of the Jiangnan Campaign, Bai Sheng has not done anything, in the past few years, Bai Sheng may have already studied the opposing coalition forces thoroughly, I agree with the commander-in-chief's analysis, and break through in the most stable place of the coalition defense." "All right, Chief of Staff! The war has not yet begun, so don't worry about it. Come and drink, you and I will get drunk tonight and get a good night's sleep. "The train ushered in the dawn and entered the night, and the Wuhan railway station arrived three days later.

Wuhan Station is heavily guarded and lined with military and police. After the train stopped, Chen Jintang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, led the commander of the corps and other cadres to greet him. There is no need to narrate the greetings of the meeting, Deng Zixuan followed everyone to the Wuhan temporary headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Entering the headquarters, Deng Zixuan teased: "Brother Chen, you must stay in the headquarters this time, and the front-line command will be handed over to Li Tianxiang!" "Thank you to the commander-in-chief for trusting and resolutely completing the task." Li Tianxiang, deputy commander of the Middle Route Corps, looked happy and answered first. Chen Jintang teased: "I haven't said I agree with that, you kid reacted very quickly." Tell you, if there's a problem, I'll ask you the same! "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, I won't let you down." Li Tianxiang once again held his chest up and promised.

Then the group entered the war room, and a huge military map appeared in front of them. The map shows a situation map of the Northern Expeditionary Army's imminent large-scale offensive in three directions. The red arrows indicate the direction of the Northern Expeditionary Army's attack, and the blue arrows indicate the enemy's defensive posture. Deng Zixuan looked at the map and asked, "How are the preparations of the various corps?" I would like to take a closer look at the situation. ”

Chen Jintang picked up the baton and said, "Commander-in-chief, let me first talk about the situation of the West Route Corps. At present, the Western Route Corps has a total of 15 field divisions, 6 cavalry divisions, and 2 artillery divisions. Its combat plan was that Deputy Commander He Meng led 3 infantry divisions and 6 cavalry divisions to contain the Russian army Kosakchi troops in the Mongolian steppe and ensure the safety of the left flank of the main force of the corps out of Taihang. Leng Yifei Jihua used 2 divisions to serve as the first-line defense of Jiayuguan and 3 divisions to serve as the first-line defense of Tongguan. The remaining 7 field divisions were put into operation in Taihang. ”

Chen Jintang continued: "Leng Yifei judged that after the outbreak of the war, it was impossible for the Russian army in Xinjiang to travel long distances to launch an attack on our western region, and the vast Gobi Desert and desert were restricting the Russian army from using troops, so Leng Yifei decided to use two divisions to defend on the front line of Jiayuguan. "Leng Yifei's judgment is very accurate!" Deng Zixuan agreed. Chen Jintang continued: "Leng Yifei put 3 divisions in the direction of Tongguan to prevent the Russian army in Tongguan from escaping to the west, but it is unlikely that the Russian army will escape to the west. As for putting 3 divisions on the front line of Tongguan, the purpose is that once the Russian army escapes to the Central Plains, it can take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Deng Zixuan nodded in agreement.

"Commander-in-chief, the Western Route Corps used 7 divisions to fight in Taihang. Its battle Jihua was to send the first line of troops from Yangquan to Taihang, first solve the Qing army on the first line of Taihang, and then outflank Shijiazhuang in two ways, cutting off the north-south connection of the coalition army on the west side of the Taihang Mountains. If the battle went well, he launched an attack on Baoding and advised Li Hongzhang to gain a firm foothold in the capital. Deng Zixuan nodded and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changeable, but the first step must be to take Shijiazhuang and completely disrupt the military deployment of the coalition forces on the west side of Taihang." and cooperate with me to fight on the battlefield head-on"

Chen Jintang took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and said: "Commander, the road is tired, let's eat lunch and then you take a rest, and tomorrow I will explain in detail the operational deployment of the Middle Route Corps and the East Route Corps." "I'm really hungry when you say that, okay, let's go eat!" Deng Zixuan smiled and waved his hand. At noon, Deng Zixuan drank a little wine, and then took a nap for two hours. Deng Zixuan woke up at about 14 o'clock, he glanced at his pocket watch, and then walked out of the room after a brief wash.

Standing in front of the door of the next room, Deng Zixuan was just about to knock on the door, Pei Gejin opened the door and said in surprise: "Commander, I thought you were still asleep, and I was thinking about whether to shout at you, but I didn't expect you to get up." Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "It seems that we have a heart, we have thought of a piece, go to the Yellow Crane Tower!" Pei Gejin smiled: "Integrate my intentions, I think the same way, the first time you come to Wuhan to take a look." Then Deng Zixuan instructed the guards to call Chen Jintang and kick the Yellow Crane Tower together.

Soon, the figures of three people appeared on the Yellow Crane Tower. At the beginning of March, Wuhan is the season of spring, and the rape flowers in the fields on the shore begin to bloom, which is lovely. The sun shines warmly, the turquoise river flows slowly, and hundreds of boats compete on the river, a busy scene. “haha！ Standing on the Yellow Crane Tower and enjoying the natural beauty, it is really poetic! Pei Gejin couldn't help but exclaim. That's it! Don't show off, you kid, it's still poetic! Chen Jintang scoffed.

"Brother Chen, don't look down on people, maybe I'll be inspired to compose a poem!" Pei Ge was not convinced. Chen Jintang said with a smile: "Commander, this kid has been in Guangzhou for more than ten years, and he hasn't learned anything else, but he has made progress in bragging." Deng Zixuan smiled: "It's a pity that I can't compose poetry, otherwise I would like to express it in the face of such a beautiful scenery." "You see, the mountain on the other side looks like a turtle." Pei Gejin seems to have discovered a new world. "That's Turtle Mountain, and it's called Snake Mountain on this side of the river." Chen Jintang explained.

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This is called the turtle and snake lock the river, and it will be more perfect if we want to build a bridge at both ends of the turtle and snake in the future." It can be described as a bridge flying north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare. Chen Jintang praised: "Commander, a bridge flying north and south, the moat changes the way to say that it is too good, this is poetic and picturesque." "Commander, these two sentences are too meaningful." Deng Zixuan's face was a little red, these two sentences were completely stolen, but they couldn't explain it.

In order to cover up, Deng Zixuan changed the topic and said: "To establish a new country in the future, we must build a dual-purpose bridge of railways and highways in the two mountains of Gui and Snake, stop the waist and cross the Yangtze River, truly make the Yangtze River a smooth road, and let the railway go straight to the capital." "I really look forward to that day coming as soon as possible, taking the train from south to north, crossing the land of China in a few days, what kind of mood is that." Pei Ge sighed. "If that day comes, I will take my wife and children to experience it first, and be happy!" Chen Jintang agreed.

Deng Zixuan didn't squeak, his eyes crossed the river, crossed the Turtle Mountain, and seemed to see the war about to ignite in the Central Plains, and his face became grim.
