Liu Jingxiao was also quite sad about the tragic losses of the Gui army. Chen Songping proposed a truce agreement, allowing both sides to recover wounded and corpses from the battlefield. In fact, this was provided to the Gui army unilaterally. Almost all of the Gui army's corpses were everywhere on the battlefield. However, this proposal was rejected by Chen Songping. It was not until three days later that the Gui army could agree to a truce and only had the opportunity to recover the corpse, and at this time there were only a lot of white bones left.

The failure of the Gui army was not to stop the Nanjun from rescuing the seven and a half regiments of the encirclement, but the Southern Army could only be powerless to watch the failure of the seven and a half regiments.

Even when they met the miscellaneous troops of the Southern Army who came from Nanchang, only nearly 60,000 people launched a rescue operation, and their opponent was a total of 40,000 Liu Jun who were guarding a solid position.

Mo Di looked at the Liu army's total force sent by the intelligence department with great regret. Liu Jingxiao invested a total of 110,000 people in the battle of Hengsong, and the entire 110,000 people!

Although the total force of the Southern Army was 100,000, it was the force invested in batches. The seven infantry regiments with nearly 30,000 people in the encirclement were facing the main force of the Liu army, with a total of 60,000 people. In addition, Liu Jingxiao also maintained a reserve force of 10,000 people.

The Southern Army, pursuing along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, did not expect that Liu Jingxiao had already set up an encirclement waiting for them. Using the war potential in the southeast, Liu Jingxiao mobilized nearly 60,000 troops to enter Jiangxi again.

For more than a week, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway's wheels rolled, and countless black car wrists sent countless troops and equipment to the front line. However, Liu Jingxiao's scheduled battlefield was chosen at Hengfeng, and Zhejiang could provide support nearby. The efficiency of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway also reached an unprecedented level. The average daily operation volume was as many as twelve pairs, nearly twice the design capacity.

On the front line, the seven and a half regiments of the Guangdong Provincial Army were always advancing at high speed under the temptation of Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao deliberately dropped a considerable amount of baggage and equipment to show his wish. As a result, the two divisions were introduced into the path of death without knowing anything.

A total of 60,000 soldiers suddenly launched an attack on the front line at almost the same time, and the Southern Army suffered heavy losses. Some battalions and company troops were even annihilated after a short fire exchange, but the Guangdong Provincial Army was always the most well-equipped and combat-effective army with the Southern Army. After being hit by the first wave of attack, the commander quickly reacted, and then some middle and lower-level officers spontaneously organized resistance.

"The strong enemy is still a weak enemy before it is unfolded." This is a famous military saying that Liu Jingxiao likes very much. Although the Guangdong Provincial Army, which had not been unfolded, carried out fierce resistance. However, nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers were lost in three hours, and a regiment command was annihilated.

However, after all, the Guangdong Provincial Army, the officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Provincial Army were of high quality. They began to resist in an organized manner, and the supreme commander also carried out effective command.

However, Liu Jingxiao's scheduled battlefield selection was quite clever. The Southern Army was at a disadvantage in the terrain. Most artillery soldiers were not deployed in place during combat or fell behind during high-speed marching, and many troops encountered violent killing.

By the time of sunset, only nearly 30,000 people who had entered the encirclement were left. Strictly speaking, 27,000 people. But the Southern Army finally built a simple line of defense.

"I have to admire the Guangdong soldiers. Even in the Hell in the Battle of Hengfeng, their performance is still extremely excellent" excerpted from Ding Ning's private conversation.

However, personal bravery did not help solve the dilemma of the Southern Army. The 60,000 troops on the periphery could not defeat the Liu army, which was blocked and reinforced. The Southern Army within the encirclement was constantly attacked by the absolute superior forces of the Liu army. On the next day, Liu Jingxiao's troops began to divide the various southern troops within the encirclement.

By the third day, the Southern Army within the encirclement had been divided into four unrelated defense groups, and Liu Jingxiao solved these defense groups one by one.

On the eighth day of the Hengsong Battle, a messenger from the Southern Army walked out of the Southern Army's position with a white flag. He told the Northern Army: "I am ordered by the commander to come to discuss the negotiations."

At this time, the Southern Army troops in the encirclement were less than 7,000. They made the strongest resistance in the absence of food and bullets, but in the end they failed.

According to Liu Jingxiao's statistics, there were nearly 4,000 seriously injured in these 7,000 people. The commander of the Southern Army had to consider these seriously injured people, not to mention that even if the Liu army did not attack in the encirclement, hundreds of people died every day.

The Southern Army's pursuit was so fast that most of the baggage was placed in the rear, and the troops only carried two days of ammunition and food, and almost all the sanitary equipment was placed in the rear, and the wounded died in a scream.

After the inner Southern Army was resolved, Liu Jingxiao's troops immediately turned to deal with the Southern Army who came to rescue, but the Southern Army acted quickly. During the pursuit, the Liu army only captured a few tails and captured less than 2,000 people. For the Southern Army, the Hengfeng Team, it was a disaster. The battle of 50,000 was reduced in the battle, and the permanent reduction was killed and the number of captured 40,000 people was captured. The Battle of De'an in northern Jiangxi and the Battle of Taizhou in Zhejiang were carried out at the same time as the Battle of Hengfeng.

The Southern Army also ended with the loss of troops and generals. The De'an Battle Sima Kan managed De'an for more than a week and suddenly broke out. The Southern Army was defeated and hundreds of people were captured in chaos. In this battle, the Southern Army suffered 7,000 casualties. Han Xinhai, in Taizhou, used his main force to deal with the Southern Army and Chen Quanwei bandits north of Wenling. As a result, it was an example of killing chickens and killing knives. Chen Quanwei's entire army was completely destroyed. Chen Quanwei took a boat to sea. One out of ten Fujian civilians who cooperated with Chen Quanwei's army to fight, and 3,000 people from the Hunan Army in Dingguo were killed and flowing.

After this battle, the north of Wenling was restored by Han Xinhai. Not only that, the Lin Lingcao squadron on the sea launched another attack on the southern route after a brief reorganization. This time, both sides had rich experience in escorting and interception. Lin Lingcao did not take much advantage, but the Southern Army still lost the Liusuo transport ship.

The Battle of Lishui, Hengfeng, De'an, and Taizhou were a disaster for the Southern Army that was in the Northern Expedition. Within thirteen days, the Southern Army lost nearly 90,000 people in total. Especially in the Battle of Hengfeng, the two most elite troops of the Southern Army suffered a devastating blow.

After the war, although the Southern Army occupied a large amount of territory, its initiative fell on the Liu army, especially the most critical battlefield in Jiangxi. Although the Southern Army sent troops to Jiangxi again, especially the arrival of Guizhou troops boosted the morale of the Southern Army. The Southern Army in the entire Jiangxi Province still had 200,000, plus 30,000 local troops. The total force was still ahead of the 150,000 Liu army.

What's more, the Southern Army occupied most of the territory of Jiangxi Province. However, the situation was that Liu Jingxiao launched a counterattack with a strong morale. The changes in the Jiangxi battle situation also affected Zhejiang. Since Liu Jingxiao's troops can now go from Jiangxi to Fujian and encircle the rear route of Nanjun at any time. So the southern army entering Zhejiang advanced southward one after another, and there were no defenders in Wenling and Lishui, and even Wenzhou had a voluntary abandonment.

Mo Di still wanted to make the final battle, but a piece of news made him dispel the idea, and the Gan army gathered in Nanchang mutiny again.

Jiang Chao himself has little capital and has always used the technique of controlling and controlling. This time, he shot and killed several middle and senior officers who had kissed Liu and annexed his troops. This action aroused the dissatisfaction of many officers, and there is still a potential force for kissing Liu in the Gan army.

Faced with the situation of the retreat of the Southern Army, some officers started a series of connections. Then a mutiny occurred. Not only were the traditionally customary pro-Liu faction, but also some of the colleagues, friends, classmates of the officers who were killed accounted for more than 60% of the Gan Army in the city.

The Gan River Tide was destroyed during a mutiny. Some of the Gan Army pro-south were defeated without preparation, while others joined the ranks of mutinyers. The Southern Army only lived in Nanchang City, and the incident suddenly all were disarmed.

In addition, in Nanchang City, the Southern Army has large logistics agencies and many warehouses. They originally sent supplies along Zhejiang-Ganzhou Road to the front line, and were looted by the mutiny Ganzhou Army. Many Ganzhou officers and soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

As soon as Nanchang was lost, the situation in Jiangxi Province was irreversible. Mo Di urgently ordered the general retreat. The Southern Army troops spread their thighs and ran south frantically. Liu Jingxiao sent his troops to pursue them with all their might, but only annihilated the Southern Army. The Gan Army and local armed forces in the Southern Army also turned against each other, intercepting the Southern Army everywhere, robbing a lot of guns and ammunition.

The Southern Army of Wen and Taiwan also launched a general retreat, and even the northernmost part of Fujian was not allowed. It was not until Fujian that it stabilized its position. The Southern Army of Jiangxi also retreated to southern Jiangxi to stabilize its position.

During the retreat, although the Southern Army lost only more than 10,000 people, the mountain march was very difficult, and many baggage and heavy equipment were discarded. There were even examples of only three artillery units left when a regiment of heavy artillery retreated to southern Jiangxi. Since the Northern Expedition, the total number of casualties and captured by the Southern Army reached as high as 160,000.

In this case, Mo Di was worried about whether Liu Jingxiao would take the opportunity to attack Guangdong and Guangxi, rather than the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. He immediately transferred the Southern Army entering Hunan and put on a stance to defend the Five Ridges.

However, Liu Jingxiao did not have the power to continue the attack. He had been in the army for many years, and the troops suffered the largest casualties in this battle, with a total of more than 60,000 casualties. One division commander was injured by two people, three deputy division commander died, and twenty-six people died in the regiment commander. There were countless casualties among cadres below the regiment commander, and the materials and funds consumed were even astronomical.

However, Guangdong and Guangxi have been operating for many years and there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Liu Jingxiao has no ambition to go deep into Guangdong and Guangxi to fight. In this case, the two sides started negotiations in a flash, and the results of the negotiations came out the next day.

According to the agreement reached in negotiations, Mo Di admitted that Jiangxi and Fujian provinces belong to Liu Jingxiao's territory, and all the Southern Army in the two provinces were withdrawn, but Liu Jingxiao was not allowed to station a large number of troops in these two provinces. The former First Division of the Gan Army could be stationed along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line, and a regiment of people could be stationed in Fuzhou. Only security teams and regular troops were stationed in central and southern Fujian, and southern Jiangxi.

The affairs of both provinces belong to Liu Jingxiao's internal affairs. The abolition of the governor only had one governor. The local troops of each province were handed over to the governor to be reorganized, and the governor was appointed by Liu Jingxiao. However, the candidates for governor must obtain the consent of the Southern Military Council, otherwise they will not be allowed to take office.

Generally speaking, these two provinces were included in Liu Jingxiao's territory, but large-scale troops were not allowed. With the previous Anhui, Liu Jingxiao has completed the unification of the Southeast.

Liu Jingxiao couldn't help humming a little tune, beating her fingers on the table, and Ding Ning joked: "Master, do we want us to find a beautiful woman for you?"

Liu Jingxiao shook her head and said, "This battle was so hard, but I finally survived it."

As he said that, Liu Jingxiao grabbed the small quotation on the table without any hesitation and rudely put it into his mouth. Looking at Liu Jingxiao's eating habits, Ding Ning couldn't help but say, "Teacher, you are a person who commands the seven provinces. Is it good to be more elegant to ladies?"

Liu Jingxiao picked up a roast chicken and handed it to Ding Ning, and said, "I have a clear idea. You want to steal my roast chicken. I am a character after all, isn't it just roast chicken?"

Ding Ning took it with a smile and chewed it. The food was really not satisfactory, it was even worse than Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao said kindly: "It took so long to fight the Western Buildings and the Sibu and Guide to fight for so long. It took a month and a half."

Ding Ning put down the roast chicken with all its colors, smell and smell, stretched out a slender hand to ask Liu Jingxiao, "All these days, I can't eat well every day, it will be a great harm to the beauty of this beauty."

Liu Jingxiao sat on the chair and laughed loudly. After laughing, she said, "It's not easy to deal with this."

Ding Ning took a look and found that it was a handwritten promotional telegram written by Liu Jingxiao: "Ding Ning also serves as the director of Min Gan's aftermath"

Liu Jingxiao smiled and said, "I have handed over all the affairs of these two provinces to you. I'll give you a briefing to the governors of these two provinces. You can choose the governors of these two provinces. I'll sign it."

No matter how Ding Ning is brave and resourceful, he couldn't help but be stunned: "This"

Before she knew it, she stood up and Liu Jingxiao smiled and said, "I'm giving you the Shangfang Sword. You can decide the small matters of Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces for this period. You can take action first and then report the big matters! I'll go back to Jinan tonight!"

Ding Ning exclaimed: "Did you leave so early?"

Liu Jingxiao's expression became serious: "Fortunately, the matter here is fully handed over to you. It's still time to hurry up. I'm a father-in-law!"

As she said that, there was endless warmth on Liu Jingxiao's face. Ding Ning immediately understood Liu Jingxiao's feelings. She nodded: "If you leave it here, you should take care of Gu Qiaozhi more."
