When the wine arrived, Zhang Xueliang first came to the mood, maybe it was because he was in a bad mood recently, everything was not going well, and he was too depressed, Yang Hucheng, Yan Xishan, and Yang Hucheng were still sober, Zhang Xueliang already had the central point of drunkenness, and the so-called "wine is more sorrowful." ”

He was full of contempt and hatred for Wei Lihuang's battle plan, and said bluntly: "This is not what Chairman Jiang meant, forcing the Northeast Army and Brother Hucheng's Shaanxi Army to take the lead, and their eight divisions of the Central Army are supervising the battle behind. ”

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Hucheng and I have fought with the Zhumao Red Army for more than a year, and we have never won a victory, and the Central Army has not only not supplemented it, but has canceled the number, which is clearly a means for Chairman Jiang to eradicate dissidents and take the opportunity to eliminate the miscellaneous army."

"Hucheng and I thought twice, in order to avoid the fate of being wiped out, and I didn't want to fight a civil war anymore, so we signed an armistice agreement with the Red Army.

"To this day, I, Zhang Hanqing and Brother Hucheng, are determined not to fight with the Red Army, and I have also approached the chairman many times to persuade him not to fight with the Red Army anymore, and it is the mission of our soldiers to deal with the Japanese together."

"However, Chairman Chiang not only did not listen to my advice, but also rebuked me for being bewitched by the Communist Party and for being a bandit, and I was disheartened.

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass, put the wine glass heavily on the table, and shook his head with a sigh and a helpless expression.

may be infected by Zhang Xueliang's emotions, coupled with the fact that the two of them are suffering from the same disease and suffering from the same experience, Yang Hucheng also drank all the wine.

The atmosphere in the room became solemn.

Yang Hucheng has long pondered his own way of life, Zhang Xueliang is a man of temperament, frank and straightforward, and a person who can be a true confidant friend, perhaps it is this kind of character that has given him a glorious legend, and the second half of his life under house arrest and claustrophobic life, he is an important role in the stage of this era, but he ended in tragedy.

Yan Xishan laughed, breaking the dull atmosphere, he patted Zhang Xueliang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Han Qing, Chairman Jiang has his own ideas, just persuasion is useless, we have to think about it for ourselves, and we have to think of our own way, ah!" ”

Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up, grabbed Yan Xishan's hands, and said emotionally: "Brother Baichuan, you are really my confidant, we are fellow travelers, with your words, Han Qing knows what to do!" ”

Perhaps Yan Xishan's words were another trigger for the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang believed that the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army in Shaanxi, plus the Jin Army in Yan Xishan, Shanxi, these forces together, the 30 divisions of the Central Army were not to be feared.

Yan Xishan's attitude has been clear, he is basically a person on the same road, and the forces of these three parties are combined, Chairman Jiang can't help but weigh the pros and cons, right?

Yang Hucheng didn't think so, he saw a trace of cunning on Yan Xishan's face, this Yan Commander, he definitely didn't have a good impression of the Central Army and the Red Army, he only cared about his own interests in Shanxi, as long as the Red Army was not over the Yellow River, he would be concerned about Yan Xishan's.

Your old Chiang and the Red Army, you fought to the death, and just avenge the revenge of the Red Army's Eastern Expedition at the beginning of this year.

This time, Lao Jiang's encirclement and suppression plan is still enough, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the generals are distracted, is there still a way to fight this battle? Don't be busy moving yourself, let's see!

Luoyang, the headquarters of the northwest suppression, was tense and busy, marching and drumming, sharpening swords, and all the central army units were marching to the designated area in accordance with Wei Lihuang's battle plan, as if a major war was coming.

Subsequently, all units of the Central Army had already been deployed and had all arrived at the designated area of departure for the attack, and Wei Lihuang, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, had also arrived at the headquarters of the former enemy to perform his duties.

Knowing that Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army did not make the slightest advance and suppression deployment at all, the troops retreated dozens of kilometers from the front line in northern Shaanxi, and Yan Xishan's Jin army was also timid and slow, and did not cross the Yellow River from Liulin west to Shaanxi and Gansu as scheduled according to the battle plan.

Because of the changes in the two armies, it was impossible to coordinate the actions of the various advance and suppression corps, and the units of the Central Army, which had already been prepared, were forced to withdraw to their original starting points and make new arrangements for attack.

Chairman Jiang was furious when he heard the news, and on December 4, the 26th year of the Republic of China, he led a large number of civil and military officials to fly to Xi'an to supervise the war, and stayed at the northern foot of Lintong Lishan Mountain, which is about 30 kilometers east of Xi'an, and stayed in the five pavilions of Huaqing Palace.

As soon as he got off the plane, he couldn't care about the fatigue of the journey and had no rest, Chairman Jiang urgently summoned Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and was furious, forcing them to express their stance on when they would send troops, and to see with their own eyes that the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army had gone to the front line of suppressing the communists and opened fire on the communist bandits, so that they could leave with confidence, otherwise, they would never leave Xi'an half a step. And immediately transferred the Northeast Army to Fujian, and the 17th Route Army immediately transferred to Anhui to make way for the Central Army, in other words, since you don't want to meet the communist bandits, don't get in the way here, give way to Shaanxi and Gansu, and make way for the Central Army.

In the face of the angry Chairman Chiang, Zhang and Yang were speechless, and they could not talk about what they were talking about, and Chairman Chiang in this mood would not listen to any opinions, so they had to agree to move the troops immediately when they returned, but in fact it was an excuse to delay and find another good solution.

Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, after returning to the Yang Hucheng Mansion in Xi'an's Zhiyuan Villa, sat in relative silence for a long time, and the situation was so late that there was no room for recovery, and no one could waver in Chairman Chiang's determination to exterminate the Central Red Army.

And the life and death of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army, between this thought, are they willing to be fish and meat and let others drive them, or do they find another way and rise up to save themselves? Both men had a bold idea in their hearts.

This kind of idea that has been brewing in the hearts of the two people for a long time, but they have never communicated with each other, because this kind of idea is too bold, in the words of the past, this is a rebellion, a great crime to exterminate the nine clans, and the lives of themselves and their hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Today, Chairman Chiang's pressure and stubbornness have linked their fates more closely, and the meaning in the eyes of both sides has been understood by each other, but someone has to pierce this layer of window paper.

Yang Hucheng's body, the fierceness of the man in Guanzhong, expressed, and he asked Zhang Xueliang with blazing eyes: "Han Qing, do you want to do it?" ”

Although Zhang Xueliang has been bending for perfection in recent years, for the sake of the future and fate of more than 200,000 of his subordinates and the soldiers of the Northeast Army, he has endured it in many ways, but the boldness of the Northeast man in his heart has not disappeared, and the two pairs of big hands are tightly held together.
