It is normal for Chen Yunjie, who is not willing to say peace. Deputy Envoy Chen released the sound of peace. On the other hand, he inspected the front line positions the day before he came to Han. He convened a meeting of direct generals on the same day and arranged the front line defense without leaking. On the second day of coming to Han, it happened that the warships of the First Navy Fleet sailed into the Yangtze River and arrived at Jinkou. He was busy inspecting the river defense with Commander Huang of the Navy.

The Hunan representative only saw the new governor Nan Xiao Yao, and only agreed to compensate 1 million yuan in military expenses, but did not agree to the other conditions. In fact, he did not want Jiang Shubin to be the governor to be the hindrance.

Of course, Deputy Envoy Chen was not completely free. Wuhan citizens and students took the initiative to convene the National People's Congress. As a result, Deputy Envoy Chen talked about peace to a group of reporters, but privately ordered a ban on meetings.

During the Wang Zichun era, the Wuhan Special Municipal Government was very experienced in handling this set. For a time, the police force went out everywhere and captured many bandits and spies from Hunan. They were all imprisoned. After the war in Hunan and Hubei, they were all released without guilt.

In fact, the National People's Congress of the Warring States has nothing to do with Hunan. Hunan instigated the Hubei Federation of All walks of life to request Deputy Envoy Chen to express his attitude towards Hubei Autonomy and the arbitrage in Hunan and Hubei. Chen Yunjie ignored it.

After everything was arranged, Chen Yunjie revealed his true face. He changed his position to Zhang Laifu as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy and ordered the detention of the representatives of Hunan. At the same time, he proposed two counter-conditions to the Hunan side:

(1) The Hunan Army completely withdrew from Hubei;

(2) Hunan punished the culprit of the war by itself, Song Yingyang, and Lu Dangping (these two are the commanders of the first and second divisions of Hunan, and advocated the most active support for Hubei).

As for the other conditions, Chen Yunjie rejected them.

The Hunan representative was heard in advance and ran hundreds of miles back to the Hunan Army's defense. Only one representative with disagreement was detained by the Hubei side. When Yi Hengzhao heard the news that the Zhi army had turned against each other on the front line, it was a bolt from the blue.

On August 19, the Hunan Army held a meeting of the front enemies. The lower-level officers and soldiers took the initiative to recommend representatives to attend the meeting and unanimously asked the troops to enter Wuhan and fight against the Zhi army's life and death.

Yi Hengzhao, knowing that things were nowhere to be restored, immediately issued a general attack order, and decided to attack the general of Zhijun on the 22nd.

The lower-level officers and soldiers of the Hunan Army were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the teacher was helpless. When they heard Chen Yunjie's counter-conditions, they knew that they could not win. Not only did they spend millions of millions of dollars to work for nearly 100,000 yuan but they did not get a single benefit, but because of the issue of punishing the two division commanders, a civil war in Hunan would inevitably be inevitable.

On the other hand, with the assistance of the navy, a unit of the Hubei army counterattacked against the Hunan Army on the Jiayu line.

This Hubei army is Xu Yingjie's division. This Xu Yingjie turned out to be the commander of the Hubei army's mixed brigade. Later, because of some unclear relationship with the Zhi army, he was dismissed by Wang Zichun. Chen Yunjie got off the train in Wuhan and immediately shouted: "Call Yingjie!"

When he saw Xu Yingjie, Chen Yunjie not only restored him to his post, but also appointed him as the commander of the Second Division of the Hubei Army, asking him to gather the rebels.

Xu Yingjie worked very hard, and his prestige was higher than that of Mengdingguo, so most of the rebels had to surrender to his troops. He immediately gathered the forces of the two brigades and four regiments, and attacked the left wing of the Hunan Army with the support of the navy.

As for the navy that came to support it, it was Huang Tianxia's first naval fleet. He confiscated Chen Yunjie's money in advance. However, he heard that the Hunan-Europe War broke out, so he brought several warships in good condition to catch a pair. Chen Yunjie was worried that the Hunan Army would use its water mobile forces, and the two could be said to have hit it off.

As for the remuneration, Chen Yunjie and Nan Yaoxiao Xunuo after this battle, the First Fleet can station several ships in Hubei, and the Hubei Provincial Finance Subsidy will be 5,000 yuan per month.

On the 22nd, the Hunan Army launched a general attack. Before the general attack, the Hunan Army officers and soldiers made an oath of "never retreat without retreating". If the officer retreats, the soldiers can capture and kill them. If the soldiers retreat, the law will be enforced in front of the army. All officers above the brigade commander and above must go to the front line of the battle.

In the Zhijun, Chen Yunjie personally went to the front line to supervise the battle and also organized a supervision team.

On that day, the two sides fought life and death on the Tingsi Bridge. The Hunan Army began to make great progress, but was later blocked by the artillery fire of the Zhi Army. Hunan Governor Yi Hengzhao had already boarded the train and was about to return to Changsha. When he saw that the battle was unfavorable, he immediately jumped off the train, shouted, and personally organized a suicide squad of 500 people, each of whom rewarded twenty yuan, charged in the artillery fire, and was unstoppable. He immediately pierced the Zhi Army's position and seized four cannons.

Seeing that the Hunan Army was so brave and could not resist the enemy, the Zhi army was forced to retreat. When Yi Heng and Zhao saw that the battle was stable, they boarded the train and returned to Changsha, preparing to mobilize reinforcements to join the war.

The Hunan Army made a concerted effort and continued to attack forward. The Zhi Army did not show any weakness. The two sides fought with all their might, and the troops continued one after another. On the battlefield, artillery fire was flying in the sky, and the projectiles flew everywhere. The two sides fought from morning to night, without a moment of rest, and the battle was still the last moment.

That night, the Hunan Army repeatedly used the same trick, and used 500 suicide squads to cross the path and attacked from the flank of Tingsi Bridge. The Zhi army was not prepared for a while and was beaten to pieces.

The Zhi army retreated, and all the two brigades and one regiments that participated in the war were severely damaged, especially Cheng Yune's Zhili First Mixed Brigade had suffered heavy casualties before the war and almost collapsed at this time. Zhang Laifu's Zhili Fourth Mixed Brigade, Zhang Laifu personally supervised the battle, but was seriously injured and carried out. At this time, Chen Yunjie mobilized the 1st regiment of the Third Division behind Wuhan to participate in the battle, and then he suppressed his position.

Seeing this situation, the Hunan Army used a high-level fireworks to bombard the Zhi army. The Zhi army finally couldn't stand it and retreated from the Tingsi Bridge. When Chen Yunjie heard the news, he rushed over and caught a Zhi army battalion commander who led his troops to retreat first. Then he waved his knife and beheaded him, lifted his head in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Today there is an enemy but no one, and I am invincible. Who dares to take another step back? Take this as an example!"

After saying that, he threw his head into the sky and blood splashed, and Chen Yunjie personally led his guards to lead his troops to counterattack.

Seeing this situation, the entire army was shocked, and for a moment, everyone was extremely brave and fought back desperately. Chen Yunjie was very happy. At this time, a flowering artillery shell was placed near Chen Yunjie. Chen's guards were mixed and almost all the troops disappeared. Chen Yunjie was slightly away from him and otherwise he would have ended up killing with one shot. He was really lucky.

What a Chen Yunjie, with no sign of panic on his face, he stood there calmly and continued to supervise the battle. It seemed that the shell of the Hunan Army had never fallen.

When the subordinates saw that he was covered in blood, covered with blood from the guards who were injured and splattered. There were also some dust and sludge that exploded when the shells fell. Even the faces were bloody, but they were trying hard to supervise the battle and had no intention of moving the position. This boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers, and they all sacrificed their lives to attack the Hunan Army.

The Hunan Army was not outdone, and they all fought bloody battles with the Zhi army to the end.

Later, the battle turned into a regiment-level fight between hand and blades. Both sides fought to the death with bayonets, and they were bleeding. There were thousands of corpses left on a small battlefield.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the Zhi army finally used the main force of the Third Division to attack. The Hunan Army finally could not resist the enemy, and Tingsiqiao Station changed hands again.

The battle situation in the past two days was extremely fierce. Although the Zhi army won, it was injured brigade commander, each of the deputy commander of the dead, two battalion commanders, and countless platoon leaders. The Hunan Army also suffered seven or eight thousand casualties. People at that time claimed: "Since the founding of the Republic, the first evil battle in the civil war has been fierce!"

All the war situations have been reported to Liu Jingxiao by the liaison representatives stationed on both sides.

After the Hunan Army issued the general attack order, it sent people to Wuxue to win over Liu Jingxiao, hoping that Liu Jingxiao would "go up the river and restore the three towns", and the rewards given were unprecedented. The Hunan Army gave the throne of the Hubei Governor to Liu Jingxiao, and promised that as soon as Liu Jingxiao sent troops, the "Hubei Autonomous Government" controlled by the Hunan side would immediately publish as the Hubei Governor.

If this fact is true, it would be an unprecedented miracle in the history of the Republic. In January, from the position of regiment commander to the governor of Hubei, he will be in charge of military and civil affairs in a province. I am afraid that there will never be a second in the history of the Republic.

However, Liu Jingxiao still did not make the final decision, but he is now a good player in extortion, so he immediately sent two regiments of Murong Xuehai and Li Heyi toward Wuhan.

Although the front-line war was urgent, the Third Division wanted to maintain about a brigade of troops in Wuhan City. Even if the Tingsi Bridge reported an emergency telegram like snowflakes, Chen Yunjie was still unwilling to mobilize this reserve team to guard against Liu Jingxiao.

What's more, the Hunan Army gave a short promise. Liu Jingxiao had hoped that they could send back more than 600 prisoners captured after the Zhou Zaizhi regiment failed to attack. The Hunan Army was quite embarrassed. Later, they learned that Xia Gang's Hubei Army had suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and these prisoners had already been added to the Hubei Army.

Liu Jingxiao felt that the situation of the war was still unpredictable. Liu Jingxiao sent contact representatives to Zhi and Hubei respectively. These contact representatives were also watching the battle on the front line. Both Zhi and Hunan were very enthusiastic in their hospitality and desperately revealed to the contact representatives how the war was favorable.

But what's so bad is that the liaison representatives stationed in both sides do not think that this side has a chance of winning. The liaison representatives stationed in Hunan said: "The Zhi army is brave and brave, and is indeed the best in the world..." The liaison representatives stationed in Zhi also talked about the advantages of the Hunan Army: "The Hunan Army has more than the Zhi army and has stronger combat power..."

Although the Hunan Army was defeated for a while, it added another new force. After careful consideration, the Sichuan Army knew that if it didn't take action, it would not be able to grab the meat. The entire army finally went down the river and Badong was in a hurry.

So Liu Jingxiao was really in trouble. At this time, the Zhijun sent representatives to win over Liu Jingxiao, and Wanyan Yuzhuo was also here with the ship.

The two have been separated for nearly twenty days and are in a strong relationship. Unfortunately, there is such a major event. After meeting, they can only meet with representatives of Zhijun.

The representative of the Zhijun was not tough. He just said: "Our army has a 100% chance of winning in this battle. Please ask Commander Liu to join us... so as not to regret it at that time..."

The compensation given by the Zhi army was much lighter than that of the Hunan Army, but it was a real reward. He paid 300,000 yuan in military salary and appointed Liu Jingxiao as the commander-in-chief of Changchang Upstream and the commander of the western Hubei province. Liu Jingxiao's division was responsible for defending the Sichuan army troops along the river.

The task was also relatively light, and only Liu Jingxiao was required to try to hold the Sichuan Army. As for the ships transporting the troops' supplies, the Zhijun recruited them from the China Merchants Bureau, ensuring that all Liu Jingxiao's division was sent to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Liu Jingxiao was not anxious to agree. He asked Zhijun representative to give him some time before giving a reply. Zhijun agreed to give Liu Jingxiao two hours to consider.

The first thing he wanted to hear was Wanyan Yuzhuo's opinion. After all, Wanyan Yuzhuo stayed in Wuhan for a while and had personally contacted Zhijun. The two of them were just intimate for a while. Liu Jingxiao asked, "Yuzhuo, how powerful is the Zhijun?"

Wanyan Yuzhuo knew the severity of the matter, so he replied: "The Third Division is indeed an iron army, and its combat power is stronger than that of the Hunan Army!"

Liu Jingxiao was still considering it, and Wanyan Yuzhuo advised him to join the Zhijun: "It was not convenient for me to speak, but in terms of personal affairs, we should not be against Bincheng Big Brother City."

Wanyan Yuzhuo's righteous brother is Wang Bincheng, the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade of Zhili, and one of the generals of the Zhili Army. Therefore, Liu Jingxiao and Wanyan Yuzhuo have such a personal relationship with the Zhili Army.

Wanyan Yuzhuo also said that she received strong help from Wang Bincheng in Wuhan this time. After the Zhi army entered Han, she was afraid of being detained by the Zhi army, but she could not give up the large amount of supplies in Wuhan, so she sent a telegram to Wang Bincheng to explain the situation in this regard.

Wang Bincheng loved this girl very much, and he immediately called back and said, "You just need to worry about the trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better!" On the other hand, he also gave instructions on how to deal with Chen Yunjie. The routines Wanyan Yuzhuo had in Wuhan were probably made by Wang Bincheng.

Wang Bincheng also sent a telegram to Chen Yunjie and threatened: "...Don't touch a hair from my sister, otherwise don't blame me for being rude..."

Therefore, Wanyan Yuzhuo has been doing things smoothly in Wuhan City this time.

However, Liu Jingxiao still couldn't act just by his personal affairs. He summoned the group battalion commander to discuss. The regiment battalion commander had different opinions. Although he was unwilling to join the Hunan Army, he felt that the war had not been decided and he could not make hastily decisions. It would be better to wait until the opponent's victory or defeat was decided before talking.

But adding icing on the cake and how to provide timely help, Liu Jingxiao feels that if he doesn't take action now, when either side wins, he may be free to deal with him, so he must decide which side to surrender in the past two days.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingxiao remembered the representative of the Zhijun and spoke with confidence: "Our army has a 100% chance of winning this battle..."

It was indeed full of confidence from the heart. Liu Jingxiao could not imagine what hidden killer the Zhijun had. Seeing that he could not make a decision for a moment, he drew the Hunan-European combat map hanging on the wall. His eyes fell on the Yangtze River inadvertently. Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but stand up, exclaimed "ah", and then said: "In this battle, the Zhijun really has a 90% chance of winning!"

The officers below were all inexplicably surprised. Battalion Commander Hu Bo had a good relationship with him, so he asked, "What do you say? The chances of winning between the two sides should be 55, right?"

Liu Jingxiao's face appeared with a sad and pity on his face. He said for a long time: "I think of the Zhijun's tactics... I just pity the people of Hubei..."
