As a result, the value of the Great Alliance of the 11 provinces and regions has leaped, and the Hubei regime has gained the upper hand in public opinion for a time.

Zhang Buyun had no choice but to send a telegram to the heads of various troops and asked them to send a telegram to support him. Sure enough, the telegram was like flying, and even Liu Jingxiao was ordered to send several messages, and the content was nothing more than: "I, Zhang Buyun, inspected and used wise and powerful weapons...", and the Fengtian army grew a lot of momentum for a time.

The Hubei clan also wrote the same trick and made telegrams in the name of the public group. However, there was a telegram from the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and Liu Jingxiao found that it was sent from the Beijing Post Bureau.

However, Liu Jingxiao was holding Wanyan Yuzhuo in bed every day, and was just when he was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security Bureau suddenly sent three telegrams within one day, asking them to immediately assemble troops to Longhua for a major exercise.

This day was the fourth day of the first lunar month, and Liu Jingxiao had to convene battalion commanders of various companies for a meeting. Several battalion commanders were still quite interested because they were only half over the Spring Festival, so they all thought of a "drag" trick and were preparing to rush to the Longhua area after the Spring Festival.

Xiao Rulang graduated from the Northeast Military Academy. He had many old friends in the Fengtian Army, so he spoke up: "You can't delay, and you can't delay at any time!"

Liu Jingxiao took a sip of the green tea made by Wanyan Yuzhuo. When he heard Xiao Rulang's words, he immediately stood up and said, "They have taken action!"

Xiao Rulang said: "Several of my old classmates told me that if we lose this exercise, we may be dismissed immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Junqing nodded and said, "Hurry!"

After saying this, several company battalion commanders had no interest in celebrating the Spring Festival, so they quickly gathered their troops to Longhua.

The weather was originally cold at the beginning of the first lunar month, and it happened to be heavy snowfall. The snow was almost the knees. It can be said that it was extremely cold. The march was very fast and he could only walk twenty or thirty miles a day. However, there were a lot of frostbite reductions. Therefore, the officers and soldiers all complained, wiped away the snow on their faces and cursed Zhang Buyun at the sky.

Seeing this situation, Liu Jingxiao felt guilty towards the officers and soldiers, and she felt even more guilty towards Wanyan Yuzhuo. This time, in order to understand the pain of lovesickness, Wanyan Yuzhuo also brought it out. Now seeing her pretty face turned red, Liu Jingxiao didn't know how much pity she felt.

Finally arrived in Longhua on the ninth day of the first lunar month, but the troops had lost their combat effectiveness due to forced marching. Fortunately, the planned exercise target of the Liaoning Army's new Second Brigade had not arrived yet, so Liu Jingxiao quickly asked the troops to rest and replenish military supplies, and at the same time made the troops familiar with the terrain and carried out company-level drills.

As for the opponent of the Dingbian Army, the newly formed Second Brigade of the Liaoning Provincial Army, did not arrive in Longhua slowly until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At this time, Liu Jingxiao's troops had basically recovered their combat effectiveness after rest and recuperation.

However, Liu Jingxiao was too dissatisfied with the exercise opponents selected by the Northeast Security Commander-in-Chief. Although the other party was just an infantry brigade and was not a direct unit, the equipment and personnel were not incomparable to the Dingbian Army. The other party had the sixth battalion of the two infantry regiments, the artillery battalion, and the cavalry company. The total force was more than 4,500. Although the equipment was a bit outdated, it was much stronger than the Dingbian Army.

Liu Jingxiao's situation was very bad. The Dingbian Army originally had more than 3,200 people, but the battle of Linxi caused the three battalions that participated in the battle to be seriously damaged. Liu Jingxiao had never received the expected replenishment of troops, and had to make adjustments within each battalion. Therefore, the 150 officers and soldiers of the entire company that Bai Siwen tried every means to retain were transferred by Xiao Ruliu in the name of "internal adjustment".

Especially because of the most tragic battle in Li He's battalion, more than 300 casualties, plus the officers and soldiers who returned to the team recovered from injury, there are now only 360 people in the battalion.

The other two battalions suffered heavy losses, and now there are only a little more than 400 people. Lu Da's baggage company suffered even more casualties. It has not yet recovered its vitality. The artillery company participating in the battle has suffered heavy casualties. All three artillery pieces were damaged. Now the Dingbian Army has only three two-pound artillery pieces.

Only the Cavalry Battalion is in a better situation, and there are not much casualties in the Battle of Linxi. Now there are about 600 people in the entire battalion, which is the most powerful force, but it is good to be able to pick one and a half infantry battalion of the opponent.

The total strength of the Dingbian Army is only more than 2,500, and in addition, there are only more than 100 seriously injured people who stay in Chifeng and cannot participate in the war. Almost half of the troops of the newly formed Second Brigade in Liaoning.

The person in charge of this exercise was Lieutenant General Feng De, an old acquaintance of Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao immediately protested to Lieutenant General Feng De, asking the other party to send equal forces to conduct the exercise with him. Lieutenant General Feng De first made a fool of himself: "Col. Liu's security detachment has been through military formations and faced ten Rouran rebels in Linxi. Can he still break a hundred? Are you afraid that a mere infantry brigade will not be able to complete?"

Liu Jingxiao was not fooled, and Feng De immediately changed his face and scolded loudly: "This is Commander-in-Chief Zhang's instructions! Do you think the Commander-in-Chief is still wrong? If you don't obey the order, I will disarm you immediately!"

Liu Jingxiao had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the arrangement. When the officers and soldiers saw that there was something unfair in Liu Jingxiao's chest, they were on fire and dared not approach her. They could only let Wanyan Yuzhuo and Guo Junqing persuade her.

After Guo Junqing spread the conversation between Liu Jingxiao and Feng De, he had accumulated a lot of indignation in the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the army.

Then in the specific arrangement of the exercise, Liu Jingxiao discovered that he had been imprisoned again. The battlefield of this exercise was set in the enclosure, only ninety miles away from the departure point of the Liaoning Second Brigade and one hundred and fifty miles away from the departure point of the temporary security second detachment, but there was only one result of his protest: invalid!

The exercise started on the 19th day of the first lunar month and encountered another heavy storm. Snowflakes flew, and the biting cold wind whistled, with the snow reaching several feet thick. The road I chose was very steep and difficult to move forward. The officers and soldiers fell to the ground with a "thump" from time to time. The originally snow-white ground was immediately stained with blood, and "red blood" could be seen at any time.

The next day, we encountered a big river again. The water was higher than our thighs, and the water was so cold that it was so cold that the officers and soldiers gritted their teeth, took off their cotton pants and underwear, bare their butts, and trembled all over. Xiao Rulang took the lead and walked over.

But Wanyan Yuzhuo and Guo Junqing encountered difficulties. They could not let their two daughters cross the river with their bare butts. Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but feel depressed in her chest, but suddenly felt a sudden passion. She walked back and forth with her bare butt on Bingling twice, and forced Wanyan Yuzhuo and Guo Junqing to cross the river with her back. But after crossing the river, Liu Jingxiao could no longer hold on and fell on the snow with a plop.

Wanyan Yuzhuo quickly wiped him dry and carefully put on his clothes. This kind of intimacy was not ashamed, and he was also an old couple.

Liu Jingxiao also knew that standing still like this after frostbite was probably a disability, so she forced herself to move.

Soon the entire army continued to advance in the wind and snow. When they were resting at noon, Liu Jingxiao found two lonely houses in the snow. When he opened the door, he saw that there was only one dirt pit inside. He found Wanyan Yuzhuo and Guo Junqing to go in and take refuge in the wind and snow for a while. Soon, he called several company battalion commanders to come in to take refuge in the wind and snow.

Close the door, Fengxue still floated in through the dilapidated window. Thinking of the past two days, several cadres had accumulated countless anger in their hearts but had nowhere to tell, while others were cursing and were exhausted. Wu Canglei wanted to speak but stopped. Bai Siwen sat in the pit without moving, but was trembling more and more violently. Xiao Rulang took out a wine bag and poured a knife into his mouth. Several cadres also tried their best to drink.

Liu Jingxiao didn't drink alcohol. After the trouble in the morning, it was even colder. She could only lean against Wanyan Yuzhuo who was sitting on the pit, warmed her body a little, and then complained: "Grandma, which grandson did the exercise plan, which made our family do like this..."
