Many people have seen that I am in a bad state now. I have exceeded my ability until now. I have written a modern article for the first time and have typed so many words. Even if it is nonsense to others, it is indeed beyond my control. Some people advise me to have a bad ending, but I have buried too many pitfalls before. I will slow down and typify slowly, and strive to have a good ending for the first instinct, at least not too bad!

Stop recommending tickets to me or something, give them to others... I originally thought it would be free in the future, but after asking the editor, I realized that it was not possible. The website gave me a royalty and I really couldn't do anything that harmed the interests of the website, so forgive me! []

The sunset has set and the night covers the earth. Xuanzhou City is dead, and there is no one to see on the street. Even the fighters who are fighting in the street dare not walk on the street. As for the soldiers who were originally patrolling the street, they have long been transferred to various positions outside the city to defend, and together with the strong men who have been recruited, defending this number one city in southern Anhui.

Wuhu had fallen late last night, and today I heard from the telegram from Nanjing that day that the Western Army had attacked Zhili. Now, after a day of rest, the Western Army and the North Army united to attack Xuanzhou, and the Dayou General Feng and Duan were wiped out the momentum in southern Anhui. The Zhou Dong army in Datangkan could no longer resist the attack and retreated to Tangjiayingzi. The Wuhu line was pushed faster. With the help of the Wuhu fallen attack on the morale of the Northern Army, Ji Yulin and Zhang Bingqian's joint army quickly advanced to Tuanshan and Jingting Mountain. The rumbling sound of cannons can be heard even in Xuanzhou City.

As the last important military location occupied by the Northern Army in Anhui, southern Anhui is in danger.

The yamen in the former Ningguo Prefecture of Xuanzhou was brightly lit, and an emergency meeting was being held here. This was also the most terrifying "plenary meeting" held by the First Army and the Second Army of Feng Duan. The number of attendees was less than one-fifth of the total number of senior generals. Among all the heavyweights, except Feng Guozhang who presided over the meeting and Duan Zhigui and Tang Xingming who remained silent, only Li Chun who suffered a defeat was sitting here dejectedly. His 6th Division commander had already dismissed Ma Jizeng to replace him. Who made him lose an association with the Western Army two years ago? This year, he almost lost all the assets of the Sixth Division. Now Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen could not save him. The old man personally called his name, believing that his ability was not enough to lead the army. He would probably have to be a rich man in the future, and he would not be able to lead the army.

Ma Jizeng, Wang Zhanyuan and others were all commanding the battle on the front line. Everyone was depressed, without accusation or complaining. Everyone was waiting for Feng Guozhang to read out the central government's meaning. Everyone knew what the situation in Anhui was so corrupt that it was so depressed. Now they were not waiting for the old man!

"Everyone! Now the Western Army has reached the city. We have suffered several defeats on the battlefield in Anhui. People's hearts have dissipated. Now the old man's meaning is here, I'll read it to you."

Feng Guozhang sat in the chair with a decadent look on his face. He was holding the telegraph paper in his hand, but the man seemed weak. The defeat of the First Army and the Second Army, the Anhui battlefield actually buried nearly 10,000 brothers of the Northern Army. There were also many disabled people. Although the Western Army died a lot more than them, the current situation was that if the five divisions of the Western Army would force themselves to eat their four divisions. Although everyone was a remnant army, now that the loss of the navy has been lost, the loss of southern Anhui has become a foregone conclusion.

"There are no outsiders here, I'll just say it briefly. Shaanxi has been unable to conquer Xi'an for a long time and has held the main force. The 14th Division of the Western Army took the opportunity to enter Zhili again. This battle cannot be fought. The Western Army did not attack Yuan's army, and the firearms and bullets were produced by themselves. The quality of the main divisions was only a little worse than that of our old Beiyang. The old man had already let go, and Zhou Caishen was about to set off to sharpen his mouth. The rest of the matter was the affairs of these politicians. The old man's meaning, let me take a lot of the remaining brothers back. We have time to avenge this revenge in the future, and we don't rush to make a fuss for a while. Just that, everyone will prepare. I will stay with the Second Division and the Seventh Division in the Palace, and Minister Tang and Commander Duan will take everyone to retreat first!"

Feng Guozhang said it bluntly, it was time to stop the battle after this. No matter how unsuccessful you are here, you have to admit one thing. In addition to what they say in their old Beiyang, there is another force that can wrestle with Beiyang!

"There is no objection that everyone has dispersed and retreated directly to Jiangsu. At the beginning of the peace talks, the old man would urge Henan to cease the war in exchange for the Western Army to stop attacking Jiangsu. However, the politician's methods are sometimes effective and sometimes not. Let the brothers polish the guns and prepare to continue fighting again! The meeting is over!"

The lower part dispersed, and after returning, the generals below arranged for escape. The originally dead city of Xuanzhou suddenly became lively. Carriages, horses, guards, and some strong men who were forced to defend the city also fled home while the chaos was in chaos. They simply took the strict military disciplines of various departments of the Northern Army. In addition to some local organization taking advantage of the opportunity to rob. The robbery, the old Beiyang soldiers looked very much like soldiers. Although they were moved, few of them actually followed the robbery.

The fall of Xingtai, and the first division of the Western Army directly attacked Huanglong in the north was something that no one in the country expected. As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the north and south. One day later, Shijiazhuang fell. Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to use the excuse of neglecting the defense of Zhili, and withdrew the Zhili Governor Zhao Bingjun Duan to appoint his cousin Zhang Zhenfang as the new Zhili Governor, and ordered him to go to Baoding to supervise the battle. Zhang Zhenfang immediately led his army to the Baoding front line, and ordered the bombing of the railway to block the speed of the 14th Division's north speed, while ordering the reinforcement of the positions.

One day later, the 15th Division invaded Xuanzhou. Behind Wang Zhanyuan's troops, the Northern Army marched out of Anhui in an orderly manner and retreated to Jiangsu. With the retreat of the Northern Army, the Anhui Battle was officially over.

Almost after obtaining the news of the changes in southern Anhui, the newspaper immediately printed overwhelmed the Guangdong Governor Long Jiguang who placed a batch of orders to the Hanyang Arsenal to purchase a batch of weapons. The procurement had already received Li Han's nod and was expected to be delivered soon! This news was really eye-catching in this limelight. As soon as it was heard, it immediately led the headlines of major newspapers, attracting attention from the north and south. When the latest issue of the newspaper was delivered to Yuan Shikai, the old man suddenly became so angry that his eyes widened. After cursing "fence-skinned grass" in Henan slang, he broke a lot of things almost all day. He Yuan

It is hard to see what kind of person Shikai is like. Since the Hanyang Arsenal resumed work last year, he has been urged by the central government. Li Han has been using Tai Chi to say that "raw materials are limited, machinery is damaged, and insufficient technology" and other reasons, and he does not sell weapons to foreign countries. Now he wants to sell them to Long Jiguang. It is clear that there has been a consensus in private, and it is not impossible to sign any secret agreement. The Guangdong army did not fight a big battle with Li Han in Jiangxi but occupied more than half of the place. After eating this fat meat, Long Jiguang wanted to sell both sides, which really made Yuan Shikai furious.

The newspaper was delivered to Li Han's office, and someone sneered for a while and finally figured out what the idea Long Jiguang had. But was the fat that he and Li liked was so delicious? Sooner or later, he would vomit out even his capital and profit.

Da da da da da!

The sound of horse hooves hit the ground, and several carriages slowly entered Xuanzhou City under the escort of a group of soldiers, and stopped in front of the former site of the former Ningguo Mansion Office where the Iron Blood Eighteen Star Flag was already hung. After being paired with the Northern Army, the western army lowered the five-color national flag and replaced the Eighteen Star Flag that they used. The finishing work in Xuanzhou City has basically ended, and there are few Northern Army soldiers left in the county, and some robbers and hooligans who took the opportunity to cause trouble also slipped away early before the army took over the defense of Xuanzhou City, leaving only a dilapidated city that was only slightly better than the ruins.

Although he has been constantly drawing the location of Xuanzhou on the map for this period, this is Ji Yulin's first time when he actually entered the city in person. Xuanzhou City was broken, and the Northern Army's southern Anhui Front had collapsed. After the Northern Army defended for a night, according to the news, the remaining troops of the Northern Army in southern Anhui had retreated to Jiangsu. Taking Xuanzhou City means that the Anhui Battle has finally come to an end. Thinking that the battle that had been fighting for more than two months was finally about to stop, Ji Yulin's heart felt like he had knocked over the seasoning bottle, with ups and downs. After winning Anhui, he lay down more than 10,000 young lives, and more injuries and injuries to be resolved. They dripped the last drop of blood for the Commander-in-Chief's plan, and the victory they got was really "hard-won"!

Although the Northern Army resisted more tenaciously in Xuancheng, under the attack of the two groups, they had to take the risk of withdrawing from Xuanzhou for only one night. If it weren't for the heavy losses of soldiers in the war in recent days and Wuchang also placed an order to temporarily suspend the use of force against the Northern Army retreating to Jiangsu, the Northern Army was able to withdraw safely.

The winner is the Western Armed Forces. As a member of this western army and the commander-in-chief of the five divisions in Anhui, Ji Yulin was also excited about victory. However, victory was not without cost. A total of five divisions were invested in this Anhui Battle. The Second Division had basically lost its combat effectiveness after the war without reorganization. Zhang Bingqin and Wang Anlan's troops were not much better than him. The five divisions were only better than two new divisions that were only put into the Anhui battlefield in the later stage. Although the 12th Division suffered some losses, it could already replace the severely injured Second Division as the new main force in the Anhui battlefield. The 15th Division suffered little losses, but this organization consisting entirely of new recruits had a large number of deserters after the war. It can be seen that it would take some time to be reused!

Similarly, as one of the main battlefields, the southern Anhui region, especially Ningguo Mansion, which was fought back and forth for a long time, has become sore, and the situation in Xuanzhou is slightly better, but the residential areas outside the city are seriously damaged by artillery fire. Given that the civilians who left Xuanzhou before the war were returning one after another, some homeless people urgently need resettlement, after the army occupied Xuanzhou, several refugee shelters were set up near Xiadu Town, Balipeng and Shili Bridge in the south, and recruited strong labor from it, and participated in the city's cleaning and construction, which was considered labor-for-relief.

After Ji Yulin got off the carriage, he saw a team of laborers walking over, holding various tools to the east of the city. The east of the city was once the main position for the army to fight with the northern army, leaving a large number of dead bodies that were not incinerated and buried. Moreover, the ruins of the walls were filled with shells and shell fragments. For the west, where copper ore was not rich, they were all recycled after the war.

When Ji Yulin arrived, there were buzzing everywhere in the city, which seemed messy! I happened to see a young man in a civilian military uniform walking by. After Ji Yulin asked the location of the Southern Anhui Garage Command, he took several adjutants to walk over.

The current Anhui garrison headquarters is the previous Ningguo Mansion Office. However, because it was the command of the Northern Army before, the Northern Army was in a hurry and there were many telegrams and other things that were not too late to deal with, so Feng Guozhang ordered the fire to burn the government office. Thanks to the fire not long after the fire broke out, the army in the west attacked Xuanzhou. The fire of such a large building in Ningguo Mansion was too eye-catching, and the fire spread to other places, and the army organized the army to extinguish it. Later, in order not to disturb the people, most of the buildings in the Ningguo Mansion were not affected by the fire, so they were selected as the garrison headquarters.

After rushing to the headquarters, Ji Yulin did not see Zhang Bingqian who arrived first. Most of the officers in the headquarters were also busy and had no idea where Zhang Bingqian went. Later, a staff officer told Ji Yulin that Zhang Bingqian rode to Shuangxi in the east half an hour ago. When the Northern Army retreated, it accidentally exploded the embankment when it exploded the Shuiyang River Bridge. In this weather, a lot of rain was accumulated in the Shuiyang River. As soon as the embankment was blown up, dozens of nearby villages and towns were flooded. Because the incident suddenly happened, Zhang Bingqian had personally brought a company of soldiers to Shuangxi to repair the embankment and might not return to Xuanzhou until late. Fortunately, he arrived now, and now there were piles of documents in the headquarters waiting to be processed!

Ji Yulin was still processing the documents. After a while, he heard the salute of the staff. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Bingqian, whose military cap was covered in mud, and he came back with his chief of staff! Ji and Zhang were not unfamiliar with him. After all, they were both the first group of old men to follow Li Han. However, because something happened to He Jin, he knew that the commander-in-chief had a serious suspicion, so the two had not had a deep relationship before. It was not until the Battle of Anhui that they got together that they were familiar.

"I'm back. I heard that the Shuiyang River embankment was broken. How is the situation?"

Ji Yulin didn't beat around the bush and asked the two of them directly.

"Don't mention it!" Zhang Bingqian was covered in mud and took the handkerchief handed over by a staff officer and thanked him. He rubbed his arms and legs with a bitter face. "A close township was flooded. Fortunately, there were a few rivers and streams nearby that had a lot of floods. However, it was a bit troublesome to block the dam. I came back and recruited some civilians. I would bring three or four hundred people to the house first. I might have to transfer a batch of military rations later. Ji Shuai, you also need to sign a note!"

"The gap is so big?"

Ji Yulin was very surprised and nodded, "No problem, I will transfer a batch of military supplies to the market. It just so happened that Wuhu had no military supplies, and it was time to register with Wuchang!"

"The terrain on the south bank is too low, and now it is the water storage period. A few days ago, a shower fell for two or three days, and the nearby rivers were overflowing. The river water could not stop it once it came out! Now all the villages have become ponds, and you haven't seen the miserable situation!"

"When the war was in trouble, I saw that the war was about to be over, and I suffered another hardship. I have helped the people and destroyed the people. The ancients really did not deceive me!" Ji Yulin sighed, feeling mixed with emotion.

Zhang Binggan also sighed in his heart, sighing for the Chinese people of this era.

Perhaps because I have seen too many life and deaths during this period, neither of them wants to talk about this issue for too long. After a while, they talked about military affairs. Several of them admired Li Han's outstanding strategy. At present, except for the omissions in Shaanxi, most of the situation on the entire battlefield are in his control. For example, Li Han once mentioned that the battle to win Anhui is basically about to end, but now it seems that this is not the case.

After this battle, Beiyang's strong position may still be. However, through this battle, the west will gain no worse influence than the central government. According to the commander-in-chief, if the western industry develops a little more, the national situation will undergo a short period of turmoil. After a new strong group in the west, the Beiyang Group will be replaced by the new strong group in the west. However, no one can calculate how long this time it will take.

Just as Ji Yulin entered Xuanzhou and temporarily stayed in southern Anhui to wait for supplies and the next order, Li Han, the commander-in-chief of the highest armed forces in the seven western Wuchang provinces, was also pondering the true intention of a telegram.

This telegram was taken by Zhao Fengchang, an old man from Xiyin, who was personally taken from Hai. The content was nothing more than persuading him, Li Han, to hold a peace talks between the north and the south, and hope to be an intermediary like a peace talks between the north and the south, and to match the two sides of the north and the south to hold a second peace talks between the north and the south in Hai's Xiyin Hall.

Southern Anhui is so close to the sea, and the Northern Army has withdrawn from Xuanzhou for a night. In addition, the 14th Division clearly shows that the carriages and horses are about to fight Baoding in Zhili. Their sensation has made such a big noise that he has equalized his unfavorable situation in northern Shaanxi. He, Li, has now tied with Yuan Shikai again. Perhaps taking advantage of this opportunity that Yuan Shikai finally lowered his head, some people think it is time to end the civil war, and his attitude is harder and wants to continue fighting, so they repeatedly persuaded him to hold a peace talk.

Li Han didn't know who Zhao Fengchang is. This old man, who is known as the founder of the Republic of China and has been rumored by the outside world to have this identity, which forced him to wonder whether this is the meaning of Sun Huang who has fled to Japan and settled down, or whether it is behind them...

The reason why he neglected Zhang Jingjiang and other groups of people before was entirely because Li Han was not prepared to have ties with the Kuomintang, especially after losing the support of Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces, the senior Kuomintang leaders are now not the Huang faction that they are still resisting cooperation with the Japanese military, but the rest of the veterans, including Sun, are obsessed with gaining support from the Japanese military and political circles, and they are no longer the previous ones that only unilaterally requested the Japanese business community to support the Chinese revolution. This move is very dangerous. Even if Li Han has experience from later generations, he will be together. When Germany and Austria cooperated, he was also careful. If he hadn't known that Germany and Austria would suffer a crushing defeat after World War I, he would not dare to roam on the border of traitorism. You should know that whether it is the right of road or the power to go abroad to mine minerals, it is a traitorism in the eyes of the people. The top leaders of the Kuomintang obviously did not have his foresight, but they still wanted to get the support of Japan like a jackal. After the war started, Japan pulled a gang from North Korea to Lushun. No matter how you look at it, they would cause the established facts and not intend to withdraw.

No matter what the senior Kuomintang leaders in exile in Japan were thinking, there was a very right thing in Zhao Fengchang's telegram that the battle would only benefit the great powers. Moreover, his troops also need to rest and fight continuously, the soldiers were exhausted, and the ammunition and recruits needed to be replenished. Therefore, if Yuan Shikai calmed down by this battle and was willing to sit down to negotiate, Li Han would not mind taking advantage of this opportunity to gain some time for the next strategic action.

While Li Han was still thinking about whether to meet Zhang Jingjiang, another adjutant from the secret room hurried into his office, holding a new telegram in his hand to copy the manuscript.

"Report to the commander-in-chief! The call from Shijiazhuang, the 20th Division of the Beiyang Army had arrived in Baoding, and General Zhang was still feinting Dayangzhuang according to the previous strategy. General Zhang asked, a regiment in Shanxi had secretly arrived outside Niangzi Pass to hide, was it moving to Shanxi?"

After taking the telegram from the adjutant, Li Han looked at it a few times, smiled faintly, took the telegram and walked to the military map hanging on the wall and nodded, "In order to delay the North of the 14th Division, the Northern Army sent people to blow up several sections of the Beijing-Han Railway, but did not destroy the Zhengtai Railway, which was a big mistake. The reply said that I approved it, immediately gave up the Zhili battlefield, retreated to Shanxi to capture Niangzi Pass and advanced into Taiyuan!"

The 14th Division walked a lot of roads and finally returned to the starting point. However, thanks to the skeleton of railway transportation in Zhili Province, it is basically possible to take the train.

"The 14th Division has arrived in Shanxi, and this battle is really over!"

He said softly that even the lieutenant standing straight and the shiny leather shoes of the deputy next to him could not let him take a look. Putting down the telegram, Li Han pinched the bridge of his nose.
Chapter completed!
