Then he went to Wuhan as chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the national revolutionary army. In July, he secretly joined the Communist Party of China in a serious white terror.

Before the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, Ye Jianying learned that Wang Jingwei was plotting against Ye Ting and he long. She immediately took the risk to consult with them and decided that the troops under the command of Ye Ting and he long would move quickly to Nanchang, so that the enemy's plot failed and the Nanchang Uprising was realized.
