In order to preserve the revolutionary spark, Zhu De, Chen Yi, and Wang Erzhuo led the remaining troops to withdraw from Sanheba and began a difficult campaign in the border area of Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan. At the beginning of the campaign, the troops suffered significant casualties and were in a state of confusion. To stabilize the morale of the army and boost revolutionary spirit, Zhu De held a military conference in a small area south of Tianxinwei in Anyuan, Jiangxi, to conduct timely ideological mobilization. With the courage of a great proletarian revolutionary, he firmly stated, "Those who want to revolution can follow me, those who do not can go home, no pressure. The Chinese revolution of 1927 is like the Russian revolution of 1905; after the failure of the Russian revolution in 1905, there was darkness, but the darkness was temporary. China will also have its 1917, you must believe this." Zhu De's speech was like a bright lamp in the night, renewing the faith of all officers and soldiers in the inevitable victory of the revolution.

Zhu De and other comrades also led the troops to creatively carry out the "Three Reforms in Southern Jiangxi" in Xinfeng, Dayu, and Chongyi, namely the discipline reform in Xinfeng, the reorganization in Dayu, and the training in Shangbao, strengthening the Party's leadership over this troop, significantly improving the overall combat effectiveness of the more than 800 remaining insurgents.

In early January 1928, Zhu De led the troops to the Yizhang area in southern Hunan. On January 12, they cleverly captured the county seat of Yizhang, marking the beginning of the "Southern Hunan Uprising," which affected more than twenty counties in southern Hunan, with over ten thousand farmers from southern Hunan joining this troop, leading to its expansion and strengthening.

In March 1928, after defeating the pursuing enemy, Zhu De led the troops towards Jinggangshan. Next, guests are invited to follow me upstairs. Upon reaching the stairs to the second floor, there is a wall decoration landscape "The Road to Jinggangshan," which, through various display techniques and methods, creates a feeling as if one is walking on the rugged mountain path once traversed by the insurgents. On April 28, this troop, which had endured hardships and traveled thousands of miles, met victoriously with the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops led by Mao Zedong in Ninggang, Lingshi, Jinggangshan, establishing the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, later known as the Red Fourth Army. The meeting of the two armies strengthened the armed forces of the Jinggangshan revolutionary base and ignited the spark of "armed struggle for land and power."
