Haizhou? Zhang Hanyun is almost collapsed...

Haizhou is the largest production and distribution center of salt production in Huaibei. The annual salt tax quota is more than 7 million yuan and the actual revenue is more than 3.5 million yuan. In addition, Li Dingyuan stationed in Haizhou and earned more than one million yuan a year. The income of a clever name is not a small number.

For them and his wife, Haizhou is their lifeblood and must not be lost. Liu Jingxiao actually had a whimful idea of ​​Haizhou. This was absolutely unacceptable. For a moment, Zhang Hanyun wiped away her tears, and the master did not speak, staring at Liu Jingxiao.

Fortunately, Liu Jingxiao's next sentence finally calmed down: "I put my family and life on this... So what if I make more profits... Rather than being cheaper Tian Zhiming, it's better to be cheaper for me! Besides..."

Liu Jingxiao dragged a long voice and said quickly: "It is also a pleasure for a noble couple to be in charge of a province..."

Only then did Zhang Hanyun understand Liu Jingxiao's plan. He made a thunderous attack with one move, completely hitting Tian Zhiming. Liu Jingxiao used the remaining lineage of the Hubei army to maintain a province, but now Shandong is surrounded by the Zhi army. His courage is far beyond ordinary people. He dared to let Li Dingyuan go south to develop and take over the big fat piece of Haizhou himself.

If Li Dingyuan goes south, if he wins, he will be on the plate of food in Haizhou. If he loses, both sides will suffer heavy casualties. No matter how you look at it, Liu Jingxiao is invincible.

However, it was time for reinforcements to be true. Zhang Hanyun pondered for a long time and suddenly pulled out a short sword protecting her body, raised her sword and said simply: "Hanyun is the master of my husband...but, with the strength of the Haizhou brigade, how can she compete with the power of the Third Division of Jiangsu?"

Liu Jingxiao smiled: "This is easy to deal with..."

However, since Liu Jingxiao had answered, Zhang Hanyun did not return empty-handed. However, after she returned to Haizhou, she was complained by Li Dingyuan: "This kind of unequal treaty..."

Li Dingyuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. Duan Zhijie was also coming back with Zhang Hanyun. Now the military police battalion has asked Li Dingyuan to hand over the city's defense to them.

Zhang Hanyun had a sharp vision, and in this situation she didn't let the bearded boy. She said to Li Dingyuan: "What are you afraid of! We have saved enough pension funds for a long time! We won, took charge of a province, and lost, but we just retired to Shanghai to be a loving couple..."

Li Dingyuan was also a little bit of bloody. He unbuttoned Feng Ji's button and said loudly: "Okay! Why can he climb to his current position? What is the point of me, Li Dingyuan, is not as good as him..."

However, Li Dingyuan's troops were only the Fourth Infantry Regiment, which had suffered heavy damage in southern Shandong. The four infantry regiments were not full. However, soon there was news that Liu Jingxiao sent Ding Ning to attack from the flank of the Hubei army. Part of the Hubei army could not support it, so Li Dingyuan simply handed over the defense to Duan Zhijie and the entire army left the city to fight.

Shortly after leaving the city, he was attacked by the main force of the Zhi army. Li Dingyuan personally went to the front line to fight to the death. Zhi army did not expect that Li Dingyuan was so bold and had no defense for a moment. The front army had already been defeated.

However, the Zhi army quickly realized that this time the attack on Haizhou was Tian Zhiming's three main infantry divisions, one division was used to deal with Ding Ning, and the other two divisions used to attack Li Dingyuan.

Neither side had the intention of defending on the spot, so they simply launched an attack directly. Li Dingyuan's troops suffered heavy casualties, and Li Dingyuan even wanted to retreat to Haizhou to defend the city. However, at this time, Zhang Hanyun personally came to the position to incite. Li Dingdong was so excited that he raised the military flag and attacked the Zhijun.

In a short period of time, the two sides attacked as many as six or seven times. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Liu Jingxiao's cavalry began to appear behind the Zhi army.

This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Zhi army. Li Dingyuan had never expected that Ding Ning would defeat an elite division of the Zhi army in such a short time. It seemed that Liu Jingxiao had all the capital, and he immediately ordered the troops to attack on the entire line, striving to win.

If Li Dingyuan, who had already withdrawn from Haizhou, did not make up the situation. The officers and soldiers of the brigade were extremely brave and repeatedly rushed. The Zhi army was first slightly defeated and then collapsed. Li Dingyuan captured a lot, and the captured weapons alone could arm the two infantry regiments.

Ding Ning's troops were just cooperating on the flanks and did not attack with all their might, which made Li Dingyuan very dissatisfied. However, at this time, Ding Ning came to see Li Dingyuan alone. As soon as he met Ding Ning, he said: "Congratulations to Governor Li..."

Li Dingyuan was not satisfied with the words, so he snorted, but Zhang Hanyi was very polite: "Thank you, Brigade Commander Ding for help! My husband and I are so grateful!"

However, the next situation was beyond Li Dingyuan's expectations. Ding Ning asked with a smile: "Where should I receive the troops and arms that your department accepts?"

Li Dingyuan was determined to be self-reliant. Today, he captured five or six thousand prisoners, and most of them could be replenished after resting on the spot. He considered the ammunition and supplies he stored in Haizhou. Liu Jingxiao had no courage to detain them, so he planned to rest and fight to the south all the way south.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jingxiao was afraid that he would regret it, so she defeated Zhijun and attacked Haizhou, which also gave some sweetness.

During the Battle of Guide, Liu Jingxiao captured many prisoners of the Hubei army, most of which were included by Liu Jingxiao, but there were more than 200 officers and more than 2,000 soldiers regarded Liu Jingxiao as a traitor to the Hubei army and was unwilling to join the 17th Division. Liu Jingxiao had a headache with these people. Raising them was a waste of food, and releasing them was a way to strengthen others' strength.

This time, Liu Jingxiao simply made a favor and handed over to Li Dingyuan. This time, the officers and soldiers mostly admitted that Li Dingyuan was an authentic Hubei army and did not object to this. However, before handing over, Liu Jingxiao asked them to swear: "The old Hubei army will not fight the old Hubei army... Please don't attack our Shandong again..."

In addition, after the defeat of the Hubei regime, many Hubei regime cadres were unwilling to serve the direct regime, so they turned to Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao introduced some cadres to hand over to Li Dingyuan. The arms handed over were also considerable. The weapons could be armed with a full-fledged infantry regiment, and the ammunition was enough to support an infantry brigade for half a month's combat.

Li Dingyuan was very satisfied with this, and he lost his mind to return to Haizhou and focused on developing southward. Ding Ning told him that as long as he continued to attack southward, the 3,000 prisoners of the direct army captured this time could be handed over, and the ammunition and medicine resources would be provided weekly.

Therefore, Li Dingyuan rested on site for a week, and more than 20,000 troops in the army advanced south with all their might. Before Li Dingyuan set off, he said to Ding Ning: "Brig Commander Ding made great contributions to Commander Liu this time. When he returned, he would definitely have a bright future..."

Ding Ning has reached the peak of power in the small group Liu Jingxiao, and he didn't care about this. He just responded and said, "I'd better congratulate Duke Li for taking Nanjing in the morning..."

Li Dingyuan was determined to pull Liu Jingxiao to the Jiangsu civil war. He said, "Brigit Commander Ding, I am determined to move south... Xuzhou will give full power to Brigade Commander Ding... I will lend Xuzhou to Brigade Commander Ding first..."

He marched towards the Southern Army and naturally handed over the rear to the 17th Division. However, Xuzhou's territory was always a place where military strategists must fight. Tian Zhiming stationed 20,000 troops in Xuzhou, and would cut the army in half at any time, so he was happy to be in trouble, so he let Liu Jingxiao and Xuzhou fight to the death.

Ding Ning didn't say anything, but responded, her face was very cold. When Li Dingyuan walked out of sight, she softened and said to herself: "I finally sent it away..."

Li Dingyuan always thought that Liu Jingxiao was coming to support Haizhou with all his heart, but he did not expect that Liu Jingxiao had very few troops to support Haizhou. Ding Ning only led a infantry regiment to strengthen one battalion of light artillery and engineers, two companies of each baggage, and twelve cavalry companies heading south.

Liu Jingxiao was too worried about the attack of the Zhi faction, so Ding Ning had only this little in his hands. The reason why he could quickly defeat a division of the Zhi army made Li Dingyuan wrong judgment on Ding Ning's troops was entirely because Tian Zhiming attacked southern Shandong, but many officers and soldiers were captured. Among the officers and soldiers who were released, Section Chief Xiong laid many chess pieces.

This time, when these chess pieces came into play, one regiment commander gave up his command before the war and ran to Ding Ning's side. Another battalion commander directly led his troops to surrender. As for the company commander, there were even more. Ding Ning claimed: "It's not my fault, the Zhi army was completely defeated by the spy."

However, the 17th Division's evaluation of Ding Ning's battle was very, very high. Liu Jingxiao simply said: "Comparing with this kind of force, using this kind of potential energy to quickly damage an enemy division... I absolutely can't do it myself..."

But Ding Ning could only play the empty city plan. Liu Jingxiao did not expect Ding Ning's victory to come so easily. He quickly sent troops south to reinforce and used any troops to capture from southern Shandong. However, before Li Dingyuan headed south, the nearest troops were still one day away from Ding Ning's barracks.

This time, Liu Jingxiao seemed to be betting a lot, but in fact he made a big fuss. He made up his mind as long as Li Dingyuan counterattacked Haizhou and immediately retreated. Unexpectedly, Li Dingyuan was so bold this time, which was completely beyond Liu Jingxiao's expectations.

However, after winning so many bets, Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but grab another hand. He ordered Ding Ning: "It's better to take Xuzhou, so that the eastern section of Longhai Road will be ours..."

Although Ding Ning's capital was smaller than Li Dingyuan, the best cavalry commander of the 17th Division was not humble. Within a month, she came and went freely in Jiangsu, defeated the Zhi army repeatedly, and advanced east along Longhai Road to conquer Xuzhou, connecting Shandong and northern Jiangsu into a piece.

As for Li Dingyuan's offensive, he was even more powerful, and he defeated the Zhi army troops who came to intercept. He rushed to the edge of the Yangtze River. He was worried that there was no ship to cross, and suddenly a large fleet of unknown origin came to cross the Yangtze River.

Tian Zhiming thought that there was a natural danger in the Yangtze River, but he didn't expect Li Dingyuan to fly over. Then two brigades of Jiangsu Provincial Army announced that they would change their flags to Li Dingyuan's side. Tian Zhiming turned around and wanted to run away, but was captured by Li Dingyuan's vanguard and captured.

On the northern part of Jiangsu, Ding Ning, who had just taken Xuzhou, asked Liu Jingxiao for the next action. Liu Jingxiao called back: "How much can you catch..."

Li Dingyuan went south all the way, just a transit to central and southern Jiangsu. Before he had established his own regime, Ding Ning took advantage of this loophole and sent a large number of small troops to move south quickly to take over the counties.
