"I would have been to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

After Yan Xishan listened to Xu Yongchang's report, he roared gloomily, a grinning face suddenly tensed, the long-inlaid smile had not been completely removed, and Tie Qing's hideous was replaced, even if the people present were all old brothers, old comrades, and old brothers were also frightened by his sudden mutation, and they lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to make a sound.

Xu Yongchang said: "Overseer, as long as you say a word, even if the brothers are free, they will drive Kong Geng, a rebellious person, out of Shanxi!"

Yan Xishan glanced at him and said earnestly: "Shanxi is a province that obeys the central government, and Kong Geng is Chang Zhi's pawn, if you move him, won't you let Chang Zheng come in person?"

"Our mountains and rivers in Shanxi are easy to defend and difficult to attack! Even if he Chang Zhenbang came in person, so what? It may not be able to take advantage of us! As long as the overseer gives an order, even if Yuan Shikai is resurrected, he will not want to occupy an inch of our Shanxi. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Willing to make a military order, if you can't complete anything, you will be willing to be dealt with by military law, and the head will be shown to the public!"

Yan Xishan seemed to be infected by his bold words, his tense face suddenly relaxed, and a faint light also emanated from his scheming eyes, and his words seemed to have regained their former calmness, and said: "Yongchang, good brother, come here, let me take a look at you!" ”

Xu Yongchang hurried over, Yan Xishan looked at him quite gently, like a loving mother looking at her filial son, and a beautiful woman looking at her lover, who knows, where have everyone in Yan Xishan seen this picture? The end was a little uncomfortable, the first one was Xu Yongchang, he had goosebumps, he subconsciously lowered his head, Yan Xishan suddenly changed his face at this moment, and before he could react, he shook his hand and slapped him twice, so that the sound was screaming, everyone trembled when they heard it, Xu Yongchang was even more stunned on the spot, at a loss, this space Yan Xishan kicked over again, and smashed it on Xu Yongchang's face. This kick was so serious, Xu Yongchang was suddenly knocked to the ground, and a dirty shoe print immediately raised on his dark face, and everyone was taken aback, and they didn't know where Xu Yongchang was not good enough, which made Yan Xishan so angry. Even Xu Yongchang also spat out blood and looked at Yan Xishan in confusion.

Yan Xishan said coldly: "How to do things in Shanxi, only I am worthy of advocacy, and when I have to do it, I will go to show the public!" Especially for the army, none of you want to be the second Kong Geng, you can only be the second Yang Aiyuan! If anyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, then leave me Yan Xishan alone and let you be the second Lu Liangchen! ”

Only then did everyone realize that don't look at this Yan Xishan smiling in the past, looking like a good talker, just like the uncle next door, always exuding such a kind atmosphere, he forgot the iron-blooded nature when he recovered Taiyuan, thinking that the father and son of the Lu family, the old one has the grace of knowing and encountering, and the small one has the righteousness of carrying it, in the end, it is not the end of the door, it seems that what Yang Aiyuan said is right, what do you move, don't touch Yan Xishan's power, otherwise this person who is very easy to deal with is the Lord of Yama who wants your life!

After Yan Xishan finished speaking, Xu Yongchang realized that he had gone wrong, but the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to explain no matter how much he said, but he really had some bad feelings in his heart, he was loyal to Yan Xishan, and he wanted to go out to protect his country and stabilize his world, but he didn't expect to end up suspicious of him.

Yan Xishan said coldly: "Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the rebel army!" Immediately withdraw the army from the city of Xinzhou Yangqu. After speaking, he picked up his Eight Lions Command Knife from the knife rack behind him and threw it over, saying, "If anyone disobeys, kill him with this knife!" ”

Zhou Jue took the order and left, and did not say a word from beginning to end, this kind of person is a smart person, Xu Yongchang has learned from the past, why should he repeat the mistakes of the past?

After everyone dispersed, Yan Xishan called Xu Yongchang to the study, and said earnestly: "Yongchang, you and Yang Aiyuan are both my right-hand men, Aiyuan is a military politician, you are a military, don't look at me beating you today, but I don't have the slightest doubt about your loyalty!" ”

Xu Yongchang's heart was hot when he said this, but there was a hot pain from the redness and swelling on his face, which made him have to put a few question marks on Yan Xishan's words.

Yan Xishan seemed to see his contradiction, but he didn't care, and just continued: "Yongchang, you are the most powerful in our Shanxi war, I have a question for you!" ”

"I don't dare to ask for advice, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, but I must know everything and say everything in my humble position."

"Then I'll be for you, Yongchang, how many troops do you think the southeastern government can transfer for Shanxi? Where can we take out the whole Shanxi to compete with Chang Zheng? ”

Xu Yongchang thought for a while and said: "Chang Zheng has recovered the entire southeast and the entire Central Plains except for our Shanxi, it seems that there are many people and many generals, in fact, it is really like this, but there are Tang Jiyao in the southwest, Sun Chuanfang in the northwest, and Zhang Zuolin in the northeast. What's more, which place is not hard? Besides, this southeast is not a monolith, Hubei Wang Zhanyuan and Sun Chuanfang eyebrows, Dongying people are eyeing each other in Shandong, and the three provinces of Saibei are all direct people, not to mention Baoding Zhili, which is Lao Cao's territory. Tianjin and Beijing are Premier Duan's people, even if he is in power, he really has a million elite soldiers, and there will be no chaos everywhere, and what can be used in our Shanxi is only 70,000 or 80,000, and he can really take out 70,000 or 80,000 troops? I don't think so! Otherwise, he would not have ceded the three provinces of Saibei to the direct lineage, this is a routine to drink to quench thirst and not buy people's hearts, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be the situation of the late Tang Dynasty, so I think that the soldiers who are often in power can really be used in Shanxi, so ...... As for where we can set up a battlefield in Shanxi to compete with Chang Zheng, I feel that the mountains and rivers in our Sanjin can be used as a battlefield anywhere. Xinzhou has hundreds of years of city walls built by successive dynasties, and Taiyuan has 2,000 fortresses built by the overseers, large and small, as many as possible......" When he said this, he did not continue, as if he understood something.

Yan Xishan looked at him with a smile and said: "Xinzhou is one of the best fortified cities in our Shanxi, but it is no longer in our hands, and only our Taiyuan can hold back the army of Chang Zhi, in fact, we do not have high requirements for Chang Zhizhi, but we are just a central feudal town like those direct generals in Saibei, who knows that Chang Zheng is not even willing to give us this request, he is not benevolent, and we have to play with our hearts." I have already asked Zhou Ying to go to Xinzhou to withdraw his troops, and the city defense of Taiyuan City will be handed over to you to be responsible! ”

Taiyuan city defense is a vital military position in Shanxi, and at a critical moment, it is a position that can affect the political situation in Shanxi, to put it mildly, that day he saw that Yan Xishan was not pleasing to the eye, as long as Kaicheng took refuge in other families, Yan Xishan was not only finished immediately, but even the lives of dozens of Yan family members could not be saved, so this position is not a henchman in the henchman, a descendant in the lineage, it is impossible to be favored by Yan Xishan, don't look at Zhou Ting's age, that is, the rank of the artillery commander, But he was the second hero who single-handedly pushed Yan Xishan to the throne of Shanxi overseer. After the recovery of Shanxi, in the Shanxi Provincial Consultative Bureau, heroes and heroes from all walks of life gathered together to elect the governor. Originally, it was impossible to be elected with Yan Xishan's prestige and character, but on that day, at the critical moment when Speaker Liang Shanchai announced the "vote" for the Metropolitan Governor, Zhang Shuzhi loudly called for "Everyone should elect Yan Xishan as the Metropolitan Governor, raise your hands in favor!" Zhou Yu immediately stood up and opened his arms and shouted: "Elect Yan Xishan as the governor of the capital, everyone raise their hands together!" The two echoed each other with overwhelming momentum, and together they pushed Yan Xishan to the throne of the governor of Shanxi. Later, this week Zhou Ying went to Baoding Military Academy for further study, this Yan Xishan gave him 60% of his original salary as a subsidy, and as soon as Zhou Ying graduated, he arranged the position of artillery company commander, don't look at the current he is only a regiment commander military position, but there are eight artillery regiments under his command, don't look at the scale of a reorganized division, but it is an artillery unit, how can other division commanders be comparable to this elite? What's more, although there are many soldiers and horses in Shanxi, how many divisions can there be?

Now when it is in danger, the Taiyuan city defense has been entrusted to him, how much trust is this, compared to that Zhou Yu I don't know how much stronger, thinking of this, Xu Yongchang didn't feel that his heart was happy, that is, the redness and swelling on his face were also filled with a faint red light.

Just when Xu Shichang was completely relieved, Yan Xishan continued: "We Shanxi are loyal to the central government, since Chang Zhenbang is unwilling to be friends with our Shanxi people, then we Shanxi people will not be able to scold him, from now on, the central government of our Shanxi is no longer Beijing, but Xijing!" ”

"What?"

Xu Yongchang was taken aback by Yan Xishan, and looked at Yan Xishan in surprise, with a blank expression.

Yan Xishan said with a smile: "Brother Zhao went to Xijing to meet with Sun Chuanfang, and together with Tang Dashuai in the southwest, he decided to use Mr. Zhongshan to set up another central government in Xijing, and Zhang Dashuai from the northeast also called to indicate the user. After the establishment of the new government, our Shanxi has become a place where both sides have to be wooed, so that even Chang Zhenbang cannot cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wants. We in Shanxi may be able to recover northern Jin without using troops. ”

Xu Yongchang felt a little bad in his heart, he felt that he could accept it for Yan Xishan to defend Shanxi, after all, he had seen a lot of all kinds of overseers over the years, escorts, and all of them, which one was not corrupt and perverted the law, bullying men and women, only Shanxi had become a peach blossom source in the troubled times because of Yan Xishan's policies, so he was willing to work hard for Yan Xishan, but he felt that it was not trivial to support Sun Monkey and set up another central government, and the overseers were a little reckless, so that although Shanxi was saved, the whole of China was cracked, becoming two things, this is not a good thing for the country and the people, but what can he do? Will Yan Xishan listen to his words? So far, there can only be one step at a time.
