……………………………………………………………………

Guilin, Guangxi. The current base camp of the Katsura department.

Li Zongren's offensive was too fierce, and it swept through most of Guangxi in more than half a month. At the suggestion of Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren staged a long-distance attack again, and his troops approached Nanning before the Gui Department could react. In the end, the Gui family was forced to abandon Nanning. Moved the nest back to Guilin, an important town in northern Guangxi.

Now Lu Rongting has summoned all the troops on the Hunan border back, ready to defend the last territory to the death.

After several months of entanglement, the strength of the Gui family was less than 30,000 people, and although it was known as the elite, its morale was greatly reduced by the continuous routs. On the contrary, Li Zongren marched all the way, recruiting a lot of new soldiers, expanding his strength from 20,000 to more than 50,000, and many outstanding talents emerged under his command. Li Zongren's classmates Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong were also reused and began to show their prestige. Huang Shaohong served as Li Zongren's deputy, and Bai Chongxi became Li Zongren's chief of staff, as in the original history. In this way, the three giants of the Gui family, which were originally famous in history, gathered again.

Defeated all the way, fleeing from Guangzhou to Wuzhou, from Wuzhou to Yulin, and finally to Nanning. Lu Rongting fought all the way and lost all the way. He squandered tens of thousands of troops under his command. Now he has fled from the southwest of Guangxi for half a day to the north for half a day. The end was extremely miserable. Although Lu Rongting was not injured during this period, his son Lu Yuguang was injured several times. I'm still recuperating. All of this made Lu Rongting feel heavy pressure.

Originally, he wanted to use the thoughts of all the forces in the southwest of the Longyun Alliance to make Li Zongren stop marching into the army, but Li Zongren didn't accept this at all. Instead, taking advantage of the laxity of the Gui system, he swallowed his two brigades in a row. All these show Li Zongren's determination to never die.

"Damn Li Zongren, why do you have to kill them all!" Lu Rongting regretted it now, not because of Li Zongren, but because he politely sent the envoy sent by the Beijing government away. At that time, the Gui family still occupied the land of the two provinces, although Li Zongren fled from the Yulin area to Guangdong, but he only had a few thousand soldiers under his command, and Lu Rongting did not take him as a little pawn too much in his eyes, who knew that in just a few months, the little pawn salted fish turned into a big crocodile. Even the life of his Southern Heavenly King, Lu Rongting, was in his hands. Now the Gui family is at the end of the road, even if they want to find the power to surrender, they have no capital to surrender.

"Maybe I'm really old!" Lu Rongting sighed. The continuous losses during this period of time hit him hard, and coupled with the serious injury of his son, his mood became more and more irritable.

"Report to the Overseers, report from the front. Li Zongren's army was less than thirty miles away from Guilin. Our troops are holding back, but ......," said the herald in a trembling voice.

"But what?" Lu Rongting stood up abruptly and asked loudly.

"But the enemy's attack is too fierce for us to resist!" The herald said weakly.

"Damn it!" Lu Rongting scolded, not knowing whether it was the herald or Li Zongren who was scolding.

"Let Captain Lin come to see me!" Lu Rongting said in a deep voice.

"Commander Lin went to the front. An army is being organized against Li Zongren. The herald said.

Lu Rongting nodded. I felt a little comforted.

"Report to the Overseers, this letter from the front horses." The herald sent a letter.

"Who wrote it?" Lu Rongting asked in surprise.

"Yes...... It's Li Zongren! The herald said.

"What? Damn it! Lu Rongting was furious. I want to tear up this letter immediately.

It took a long time for Lu Rongting to regain his composure. But there was still a little hideous in his expression: "Give it to me!" ”…,

The heralds did not dare to slack off, for fear of angering the Overseers and punishing themselves.

Lu Rongting took a deep breath and opened the letter, his face first showed a look of surprise, and then it became extremely exciting like a Sichuan opera changing face. In his mind, Li Zongren's letter should be a mockery of the victor to the loser. That's why he started to get so angry. But in fact, the content of this letter is not a mockery, but on the contrary, it is very respectful. In the letter, Li Zongren analyzed the comparison of the strength of the two sides, and pointed out that the Gui family no longer had much strength to resist, so Xi Lu Rongting was able to electrify the field and save the face of the Gui family, and he Li Zongren guaranteed the safety of the Lu family. In the end, Li Zongren also revealed a secret that shocked Lu Rongting, that is, Li Zongren had already joined the National Defense Army, and now his official identity is the commander of the independent division of the National Defense Army.

Seeing this, Lu Rongting completely understood why Li Zongren's troops were developing so fast. You must know that now Li Zongren is under the command of 50,000 troops, and there are still 20,000 troops stationed in Guangdong, which is more than the Gui line at the peak of Lu Rongting. Guangdong, as the earliest treaty port in China, has a large population, and Guangxi has a large population. For the forces occupying the two provinces, the number of soldiers is not a problem, but the difficulty is the weaponry. When Lu Rongting controlled Liangguang, the reason why the expansion of troops was not fast was that he was restricted by weapons and equipment. But Li Zongren doesn't seem to have this problem at all. The expansion of the number of soldiers included weapons, and outsiders believed that these weapons were seized from Lu Rongting, the wronged leader. However, only Lu Rongting knew that although some of the weapons of Li Zongren's troops were from Lu Rongting's Gui lineage, this was only a part, and it was far from the point of arming 70,000 or 80,000 people. After all, there are still 30,000 troops in the hands of the Gui family, and this is the weaponry that accounts for about half of all the weapons of the Gui family.

Now all the confusion has been solved. With the National Defense Force behind him, it is no wonder that Li Zongren has expanded his army so unscrupulously. For the enlarged and large Defence Force, the provision of light weapons for tens of thousands of people is not a big problem at all.

Now that Li Zongren told him these things so generously, Lu Rongting was under tremendous pressure. Li Zongren's army of 50,000 is terrifying, but his background is even more fearful. There is the Beijing government behind it. Li Zongren has long been invincible.

"Father, what's wrong?" Lu Yuguang, who was wrapped in bandages and walked a little staggeringly, walked in, looked at Lu Rongting's unhappy face and asked.

"Yuguang, your injuries have just improved a little, you need to rest more and don't move around." Lu Rongting asked with concern.

"Father, the child is young, these injuries are nothing." Lu Yuguang didn't care about his injuries at all.

"In that case, it's better for you to come and counsel." Lu Rongting handed him Li Zongren's letter.

Lu Yuguang took the letter, and when he saw the payment on it, he was indeed stunned for a moment.

"Father, this turned out to be Li Zongren's letter. What a good means! Lu Yuguang said with a solemn face.

"Yes, occupying the absolute upper hand is still not arrogant or impatient, and it is overwhelming. Li Zongren is very human! Lu Rongting sighed and said.

"Father, are we still sure of victory?" Lu Yuguang asked.

"Your Uncle Lin has already gone to the front line, although we are still 30,000 troops, and our weapons are complete, but our combat effectiveness is really limited, how can we be the opponent of a tiger general like Li Zongren. Even if you, Uncle Lin, personally commanded it, the possibility of victory is not very high. Lu Rongting sighed. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, these are all outstanding people, and what makes him even more depressed is that these people have all served in his Gui family. But Li Zongren, who holds the highest position, is only a small battalion commander. Such a talent has become an enemy, and Lu Rongting feels extremely depressed every time he thinks about it. If he can discern Ying, then I am afraid that the Gui system has developed to another level now. ..., "In this case, it is better to be a single, than to be defeated by Li Zongren in Guilin, you and my father and son are like lost dogs." Lu Yuguang said.

"This ......" Lu Rongting hesitated. He really couldn't let go of the power in his hands. It's understandable to think about it, a person has been controlling the life and death of others for half his life, and now he suddenly loses the power in his hands, and his heart is naturally unbearable.

"Father, when the interruption continues, it will be disturbed. Now the situation in the country is such that the domination of the National Defense Forces is a foregone conclusion. Our father and son have lost the opportunity to join the Wehrmacht, and the only thing we can do now is to jump out of this whirlpool. And with the wealth accumulated by our Lu family, we can still live a rich life without Liangguang. Lu Yuguang said in a deep voice.

Lu Rongting looked at Lu Yuguang with a determined face. I thought in my heart, although my son's ability to lead troops is not very good, he is very good in vision and decisiveness. If I didn't always let him train as a military commander, but let him handle government affairs, I'm afraid he would do better!

"Father!" Seeing that Lu Rongting was still hesitating, Lu Yuguang spoke again.

"Alright. I already know. I just had some nostalgia just now, after all, I have been in Liangguang for so many years, and now I am really reluctant to leave suddenly. After all, Lu Rongting is a figure who has suppressed Nan for more than half a day, and the childlike state in his heart is only for a moment, since he has made a decision, he will naturally do things in a hurry.

Lu Rongting sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing that he would resign from the post of the Liangguang Supervisor and give up the Gui troops in his hands. From now on, he will not meddle in the affairs of the two countries.

Although Lu Rongting is a big man, he is still several levels worse than Beijing, Beiyang, and Southwest, plus he was beaten by Li Zongren like a lost dog, which made the outside world evaluate him a lot.

After receiving Lu Rongting's telegram to the wilderness, Li Zongren sent a telegram to support on the one hand, and urged the army on the other hand to accept the surrender of the Gui family. The two sides fought more than 100 battles, and Li Zongren's ability was also recognized by the Gui army, and now Lu Rongting announced that he would go to the field, although the soldiers were related, but they could generally accept the fate of surrender.

With the Lu father and son leaving Guilin. Li Zongren's troops marched to Quanzhou County, north of Guilin. At this point, except for a small area in northern Guangdong, which was entrenched by the Kuomintang party army, all other places in Guangxi fell into the hands of Li Zongren. For a time, Li Zongren's voice was shocked, and some people in the outside world faintly called him the new Southern Heavenly King.
