It's not that Yan Xishan hasn't thought about these truths, it's just that he can't help it. At present, there are four divisions of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and they are different from the Central Central Army, occupying a piece of land to engage in anti-Japanese democratic power, and if this continues, "Shanxi will indeed become the world of the Eighth Route Army." Not to mention anything else, the new army that he prepared is about to become the Eighth Route Army, with a strength of 50,000 people, which is more than the strength of the old army. Although since August, he has consciously suppressed the expansion of the new army and supported the expansion of the Jin Sui army and the Japanese army, but the effect is not obvious: "those ordinary people would rather be the Eighth Route Army and the new army than the old army." But now they can't do without the Eighth Route Army, and without their desperate efforts with the Japanese, the Japanese will drive themselves out of Shanxi.

Seeing that Yan Xishan did not speak immediately, Ōya Nakasa mistakenly thought that he had reached Yan Xishan's heart, and immediately said: "In addition to what Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro said in his letter, I am instructed to convey to Your Excellency the good intentions of General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front of the Japanese Empire. Senior Admiral Terauchi believes that in addition to settling the Sino-Japanese dispute by means of war, it can also be resolved politically. Senior General Terauchi hoped that Mr. Yan would come forward and "cooperate with the Japanese Empire to jointly oppose communism and restore law and order in North China." When the time comes, the imperial army can not only hand over the whole of Shanxi to your Excellency" but also the whole of North China to your Excellency. Your Excellency can even set up a "self-appointed presidential ......" in North China

Although Yan Xishan is now wary of the rapid expansion of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and is quite disgusted, he has no idea of being a traitor at present. Therefore, without waiting for the big arrow to say more, Yan Xishan interrupted him: "My old man will not be a traitor!" "The general of the temple wants me to tell your honor, if you are willing to cooperate with the imperial army" The imperial army will support your weapons and equipment of 30 regiments, supplement 30 regiments of strong men for you in Hebei and Shanxi, and provide 20 million yuan of military funds to support you to expand your armament. Another 7 million yuan confidentiality fee for you ......"

As soon as he heard about the money, equipment, and strong men, Yan Xishan immediately turned his mind away, and he said that he could fight for 100 regiments. If there were 100 regiments, the strength would be great, and it could be restored to the scene when the Jin Sui army was in its heyday.

Yan Xishan's mind turned for a long time, and he let out a long sigh: "This Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek, and the Communist Party are not easy to mess with." This matter cannot be hastily decided, but must be considered in the long run. If only the Japanese hadn't invaded Shanxi, they would have been able to stick to the idea of dancing on three eggs: "No egg will be broken."

Da Ya Zhongzuo looked at Yan Xishan and thought to himself, the old fox, "I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait for such a big bait!"

Unexpectedly, after pondering for a while, Yan Xishan shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "Your proposal is very tempting, but it is a big matter, and it needs to be studied and studied." The old man is old, but he doesn't want people to point at the backbone and scold the traitor. You go, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you......"

Da Ya Zhongzuo didn't understand why Yan Xishan was not moved, so he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and almost opened his mouth to scold his mother. But he still had to leave Yan Xishan's office obediently under the threat of the guards' submachine guns.

In fact, this is not surprising, in history, the Japanese army and Yan Xishan were contacted in the spring of 40 years. At that time, Yan Xishan tore his face because of the Jinxi Incident and the Eighth Route Army, and the new army basically turned to the Eighth Route Army, and the old army was also severely beaten and suffered great losses. At that time, he not only had to fight on both sides of the Japanese army's "Eighth Route Army" at the same time, but also had to guard against the infiltration of the Central Army and the internal and external difficulties, so he put forward the proposition that existence is the truth. He really negotiated and hooked up with the Japanese army after the outbreak of the Pacific War, and the Japanese army took the initiative to lure him down in order to transfer troops in China to join the Pacific Theater. The reason why Yan Xishan did not really join the enemy as a traitor in the end was that the Communist Party and Chiang Kai-shek both pulled him from the perspective of the Anti-Japanese War, which made him scruples. The other is that Yan Xishan likes to speculate by nature, and he is a master who does not see rabbits and eagles. The conditions promised by the Japanese army were difficult to implement due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, and "Yan Xishan could not see tangible benefits, so naturally he would not really break with the Chongqing government and openly become a traitor."

At this time, although the Eighth Route Army developed too fast in Shanxi, the rule of Yan Xishan was in danger, and the Japanese army also captured Wuhan, but Wang Jingwei had not openly surrendered to the enemy, and the curve national salvation policy was not introduced, and the units of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army fought very well, and the battle record was magnified many times more than in history, the battle situation in Shanxi was stable, and the Japanese army was confined to the communication line and could not move. Yan Xishan is so shrewd, he won't be a bird to openly join the enemy and become a traitor!

After the Great Arrow Zhongzuo left, Yan Xishan called Chu Xichun, the deputy chief of staff of the Theater Commander's Department, and asked him to think about sending the Great Arrow Zhongzuo away or it seemed that "you must not let Lu Hang encounter it." You must know that the army and the Japanese army are mortal enemies, "they meet together, no matter who dies, they can't explain."

Chu Xichun is the Zhiduoxing of the Second War Zone Governor's Department, and he is also a backbone cadre that Yan Xishan can cultivate, and he is very loyal to Yan Xishan. But he was very disgusted with the little devil coming to lure Yan Xishan down, and directly said that it was better to let Lu Hang encounter the big arrow, so that he could use Lu Hang's hand to get rid of the big arrow. Anyway, there are more Japanese killed by Lu Hang, and there are not many of them. Even if the Japanese army knows about it in the future, they will also put the account on Lu Hang, which has nothing to do with the Jin Army.

As soon as Yan Xishan heard this, he severely criticized Chu Xichun for not having political acumen, not understanding the philosophy of the second and the essence of the dancing of the three eggs, and he had to check it carefully.

Chu Xichun retorted that the little devils have occupied the famous cities in Shanxi, and what else do they have to say, one word is played, two words are beaten.

At this moment, the adjutant came in and reported, "General Lu Hang, commander of the Special Operations Division of the Eighth Route Army, has come to visit Commander Yan, and the people have already entered the village.

Yan Xishan hurriedly went out to greet him.

Yan Xishan came out of the door, only to see a team of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army galloping from the head of the village, and the first person was Lu Hang.

When he arrived in front of Yan Xishan, Lu Hang jumped off his horse, threw the reins of the horse to Chen Fan behind him, straightened his military uniform, and saluted "snapped": "Report to Commander Yan: Lu Hang, commander of the Special Operations Division of the 18th Group Army, reports to you, please instruct ......."

Yan Xishan's eyes, eyebrows, and nose were all smiling: "Ah, brother, Hanwa" You want to die old man! Don't salute, come on, let the old man see, let me see, it's so strong! As he spoke, Yan Xishan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab Lu Hang.

Lu Hang was amused when he saw Yan Xishan wearing a long robe and short coat. Which one is this old gentleman singing? How do you dress yourself up like a rich man? However, it works! This old man has a fat head and big ears, and his eyes are bright, and when he dresses up like this, he really looks like a kind old man.

Yan Xishan pulled Lu Hang to look, and Lu Hang also looked at Yan Xishan, and the two of them were like old friends, "It seems that they will meet again after a long absence."
