In March, spring is bright.

A vacant lot on the outskirts of Chongqing was bustling with activity, and today was a good day for the official establishment of the Sichuan Air Force. Not only did the generals of Liu Xiang's subordinate departments gather together, but even Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, and Tian Songyao, the three great warlords of Sichuan, all brought their subordinate small warlords to visit.

The relationship between these warlords, large and small, is extremely chaotic, and it is difficult to sort out who is the ally and who is the enemy. Anyway, everyone has partnered to fight others, and they have also partnered with others to fight each other, as for which side to unite and attack which side next, it is estimated that those warlords themselves have not made up their minds.

Among the warlords invited to the Air Force exercises, Yang Sen was the most important. This old brother is still very righteous, Wu Peifu was beaten to the ground during the Northern Expedition, Yang Sen remembered the old love and took Wu Peifu in, but was ordered to be removed from his post by Chang Kaishen.

Yang Sen and Liu Xiang were classmates and had always been allies before. But two years ago, he teamed up with Liu Wenhui to attack Liu Xiang, stealing chickens and rice, and the territory of 21 counties in eastern Sichuan was occupied by Liu Xiang. Fan Haer used to follow Yang Sen, and later took refuge in Liu Xiang.

Yang Sen fought a mess in the civil war in Sichuan, but his performance on the anti-Japanese battlefield was very eye-catching, and he participated in many battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Changsha and the Battle of Changheng. During the Battle of Songhu, Yang Sen's division and the Japanese army fought bloodily for five days and nights, and nearly half of the casualties were still fighting to the death, and successfully held on until the friendly troops came to take over the defense, and was evaluated as one of the five divisions that could fight the most in the Battle of Songhu.

Tian Songyao and Deng Xihou are also great warlords in Sichuan, but their future circumstances are different.

Tian Songyao is an unlucky guy, and he will fall for Chang Kaishen in a few years. He was ordered by the central government to "suppress bandits", because the defensive area was broken by the Red Army, so he was removed from his post by the central government and investigated, and his troops were also annexed by the opportunity.

Deng Xihou, like Yang Sen, would also be active in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and even his headquarters was once surrounded by the Japanese army, and he fell from his horse and was injured when he broke through.

In addition, Guo Rudong, Li Jiayu, Luo Zezhou, Chen Shunong and many other small warlords, no matter what their character is or what bad things they have done, they all want to go out of Sichuan to resist Japan. Most of them swore to kill the enemy to serve their country, and only a few performed badly.

For example, Luo Zezhou, this guy, used Zhuangding to sell opium during the Anti-Japanese War, but he was removed from his post and investigated, and he committed suicide by swallowing tobacco paste after living in New China until New China.

Luo Zezhou has little power, but his fame is not small, he calls himself "King Shunqing" in Sichuan, and the common people give him the nickname "Emperor Luo". He set up a clever name in his own territory, expropriated and extorted extortion, and had already pre-levied the land tax until 30 years later. Moreover, he also set up a private court, treating his subordinates as slaves, killing and chopping if he wanted. Once, when he dealt with deserters, he personally beheaded them with a knife, and actually killed 18 people with a knife in a row. The death penalty he set himself included shooting, beheading, black strings, burying alive, assassination, and backfire.

But such a brutal fellow, he is actually short, thin, and delicate, and belongs to the kind of sick and petite appearance.

In addition, there is also Liu Xiang's confidant and beloved general, Chongqing Mayor Pan Wenhua.

The foundation of Chongqing's industrial and urban modern development was laid by Pan Wenhua. During his tenure as mayor of Chongqing, he built a large number of factories and carried out many urban upgrading projects.

However, you would never guess that this capable man originally started by growing opium.

Zhou Hexuan and Fan Ha'er came to the exercise site together, and Liu Xiang introduced with a smile: "Brothers, let me introduce it to you. This is Mr. Zhou Hexuan Zhou, the guest of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, and the confidant and adviser of Deputy Commander Zhang. Mr. Zhou is amazing, he walked sideways in the United States and Europe, and when he passed through Moscow by train, Stalin, the boss of the Soviet Union, made a special trip to meet him personally! ”

Except for Yang Sen and Deng Xihou, the other warlords had never heard of Zhou Hexuan's name at all. But listening to Liu Xiang's introduction, it immediately caused a sensation, and warlords of all sizes stepped forward to greet each other.

"Hello Mr. Zhou!"

"Mr. Zhou is a talent."

"Mr. Zhou, let's go drink together after watching the drill."

“……”

Stalin was too far away for the warlords to feel the majesty. But the names of Chang Kaishen and Zhang Xueliang are like thunder, and Zhou Hexuan's status in their minds has also improved.

Fan Ha'er stood beside Zhou Hexuan with his stomach up, watching the warlords from all walks of life come forward to shake hands, he also felt that he had a lot of face, and helped Zhou Hexuan introduce those warlords with a smile.

After everyone's warm greetings, Liu Xiang looked at the time and asked the attaché, "Why hasn't Liu Shenxian come yet?" ”

The attaché didn't reply, but he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Immortal Liu has arrived!" The evil retreats, and the sneaky avoids. ”

The sound got closer and closer, Zhou Hexuan looked over curiously, and saw that there were about twenty or thirty people over there.

At the front of the walk were two boys, holding flower baskets and ritual utensils.

Next were the eight initiators, dressed in strange clothes that looked like Taoist robes and military uniforms, carrying gongs, cymbals and other musical instruments and beating non-stop, and the sound was like mourning in the dojo.

Then there was a sliding pole, tied with colorful silk, and on a bamboo rattan chair sat an old man with fairy bones. The old man's costume is also very peculiar, like a non-way, like a military and not a soldier, he is holding a floating dust and a compass, and a brand-new Mauser pistol pinned to his waist, well, commonly known as a box cannon.

What surprised Zhou Hexuan was the reaction of those warlords, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, Tian Songyao, and Deng Xihou led all the warlords to step forward together, bowed down and greeted: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”

The old man didn't dare to let the warlords worship him, so he hurriedly waved Buddha dust and said, "No need to be polite. ”

When the old man landed on the sliding rod, Liu Xiang said diligently: "Master, please take a seat!" ”

The old man was very discerning and did not fight for this face, he said: "You are the boss, you should be in the top position." I'm just a military advisor, and I'm willing to accompany the last seat. ”

"Master is right, please!" Liu Xiang said.

Zhou Hexuan was confused, and couldn't help but ask Fan Ha'er: "Who is this old man?" ”

Fan Ha'er replied with a look of awe: "The head of the 'Confucius and Mengdao', Liu Congyun and Liu Shenxian. All the warlords in Sichuan who can be ranked are basically Liu Shenxian's apprentices. Liu Shenxian is still Commander Liu's military advisor, and every time Commander Liu fights, he must first ask Liu Shenxian to tell divination. Immortal Liu's mana is profound, and with his help, Commander Liu has not lost a game in the past few years. ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't know what to say, he had heard some rumors about Liu Shenxian from the interesting information of the Republic of China before. Today is finally an eye-opener to see a real person who is jumping around.

The warlord world in Sichuan is really a miasma, and demons and monsters are endless.
