Just when Shang Zhen planned to march into Yuxian County to regain his homeland, the news of Sun Liangcheng's surrender came from the middle of the way, and a cadre of civil and military staff around him heard it and came to congratulate him, Shang Zhen thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons between the suppression and the beasts, and then fought with the beasts, the people of Shanxi continued to suffer from the war, it was better to surrender and accept the rebellion to stop the suffering of the soldiers.

"General, you have disobeyed the military orders of the Overseers by coming to Xinzhou without permission, and if you surrender and rebel without the Overseers' will, I am afraid that the Overseers will be a little unhappy." Feng Pengzhu persuaded him.

When Shang Zhen saw that it was him, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Peng Zhu, when you were at the Baoding Military Academy, you were deeply favored by the Manchurian Emperor, why did you join the Alliance again, isn't it the revenge of the Grace General and ingratitude?" ”

Feng Pengzhu stood up in pain when he heard this, and said angrily: "Manchuria has a mighty imperial grace for me, but it can be corrupt and incompetent, repeatedly defeated in foreign wars, repeatedly increasing national shame, and keeping the people at home in the dark, if it continues to be in power, I am afraid that China will fall apart, and the people will have the disaster of fire and water, Yu Gong, Feng is a national soldier, Yu private, Peng Zhu is a man of the Han family, only sorry for the emperor." ”

Shang Zhen said: "For the sake of the country and the people's livelihood, Lord Feng chose to be sorry for the Manchurian royal family, and did not hesitate to suffer from the beheading of the whole family, could Shang Zhen be able to ignore the lives and property of thousands of Shanxi people for his own top, so that they could suffer from military disasters and wars in peace?" Put yourself in your shoes, what will Master Feng do? ”

Feng Pengzhuo said: "I, Feng Pengzhuo, am also a person mixed up in the pile of the poor, how can I not know the suffering of this common people?" The general is kind-hearted, Feng Pengzhu is willing to bear it with the general, for the sake of the people of northern Shanxi, please ask the general to accept the surrender of Sun Liangcheng's department. ”

"We are willing to bear it with the general, and ask the general to accept the surrender of Sun Liangcheng's troops."

All the cultural relics staff stood up and asked for their lives.

"Thanks to your great love, Shang Zhen will definitely return a peace to the people of northern Jinbei!"

Shang Zhen was quite moved, and practiced bowing to express his gratitude.

Sun Liangcheng entered the Shang Zhen military camp with a light car, and the sincerity of surrender was undoubtedly demonstrated. Shang Zhen ordered it to go to the chaff, and the entire army only retained the establishment of one division, thinking that this kind of self-cutting of the wings would be categorically rejected by Sun Liangcheng, but he didn't expect him to agree to it, and even more than that, in front of everyone, the army was cut into less than a brigade, everyone was puzzled, this trick was not a bit too much, it was no longer dead and self-defeating, but self-annihilation, who knew that Sun Liangcheng said: "Since you surrender sincerely, you must show sincerity!" General Shang was able to take in the brothers is already a grace of reconstruction, where do the brothers have any other requirements? Besides, the general took us in under the thunder of the Overseer, how could we not know what to do and cause trouble for the general? ”

This reply moved everyone to listen, and even the officers' aides, who were most adamantly opposed to taking in these people at the beginning, could not help but feel sentimental, feeling that this person was sincerely obedient.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but be comforted, and took out some money and food to properly arrange the national army that had been laid off, and after everything was in order, he continued to march, and just arrived at Yuxian City, only to see the military flag fluttering at the head of the city, so majestic, Shang Zhen couldn't help but praise: "This Sun Lianzhong is the first general of the National Army, as expected." Sun Liangcheng immediately came to Shang Zhen's side and said: "Liangcheng received the great grace of the general's life, and he has a brotherly relationship with General Sun Lianzhong, and is willing to do his best for the general!" Go to Yuxian City to persuade General Sun to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! ”

"This is very good, you may as well tell General Sun when you go to Mengxian that Feng Yuxiang has been defeated, and the national army is in the general trend, so if you resist stubbornly, it is better to rebel and unload your armor and surrender with courtesy, everything is easy to discuss."

Sun Liangcheng went to Yuxian on horseback, and Huang Guanghua said: "General, this Sun Liangcheng just came to surrender to persuade him to surrender, but I am afraid that there will be fraud!" ”

Shang Zhen said: "Our people are not afraid of his deception, but I am afraid that he will refuse." ”

After a while, Sun Liangcheng came out of his Yuxian city on horseback, and the generals surrounded him to inquire about the news, Sun Liangcheng squeezed in front of Shang Zhen and said: "General, I am ashamed to say that I am incompetent!" ”

He said that he couldn't, but it made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, if he was really persuaded to do so, Shang Zhen and the others would inevitably have doubts.

Huang Guanghua said: "General, since Sun Lianzhong refuses to surrender, his subordinates are willing to lead the army to take Yu County, kill Sun Lianzhong, and avenge the people of northern Shanxi." ”

Before Shang Zhen could agree, Sun Liangcheng pounced and said, "No, never, general." ”

Huang Huaguang glared at him and said, "Sun Lianzhong's defeated general, why not?" Do you think the general can't beat Sun Lianzhong? ”

Shang Zhen Divine Beast stopped: "Brother Liangcheng, if you have anything to say, you can discuss it or not." ”

Sun Liangcheng said: "General Qiyu, Sun Lianzhong has taken refuge in General Kong Geng, and now he is a friendly army with us." ”

Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't feel that his brows were furrowed, what was this Kong Geng's intention to surrender and rebel? Could it be that he was instructed by Yan Xishan, combined with Kong Geng's previous timid and cautious appearance, the more he looked like that, his face became iron-blue, and after Yan Overseer let Kong Geng accept the rout of these national armies, what was the next step? I'm afraid it's to reduce the military power in his hands, thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasp, this Yan Xishan can't fight, but he is an expert, if he doesn't make a decision early, I'm afraid that I don't know how to die when the time comes, thinking about it, Shang Zhen didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to order the whole army and turn around and go back to Xinzhou.

The battle of Xinzhou should have finally come to an end, but Shang Zhen stored a large number of materials and ammunition in Xinzhou, revealing some abnormalities, in the face of the incoming voices, Shang Zhen said: "The national rebel Feng Yuxiang does not know the whereabouts, but Lu Zhonglin, who is known as a little ghost, is still recruiting rebels in Ningwu and resisting stubbornly. Now the brothers who are going to work, Wen Chenglie, and Cheng Xixian have all gone to Ningwu, and there is no big city in the north of Jin, if you want to last a long time, Xinzhou has to be more cautious. ”

Feng Pengzhu said: "I'm afraid my lord's move is not so simple!" ”

Shang Zhen glanced at him and said, "Old Feng, you know my Shang Zhen, where do you start?" ”

Feng Pengzhu said: "General, the most important thing at the moment is to go north to attack the little ghost deer Zhonglin, regardless of success or failure, it is the right thing to push the war to the already dilapidated northern Jin, not to stick to Xinzhou." ”

As soon as his words landed, most people unanimously agreed, Shang Zhen just shook his head helplessly, and said: "The southeast army has captured the north of Yuanping, and the west of Wuning has been captured by Sun Chuanfang, how can we retreat the war to the north of Jin?" I'm afraid that the war will burn to Xinzhou again, how can Shanxi deal with Sun Chuanfang and Chang Zhenbang? Rather than this, it is better to go with the flow and let Yan Dujun deal with the problem through political means, it is best to protect the whole province of Shanxi, the people, from the suffering of displacement, and be able to return to their homes to live and work in peace and contentment, and at worst, to hold the area south of Xinzhou. ”

The hearts of the people who said these words moved, and they looked around at the left and right forms, and they had to say that Shang Zhen's calculations were the safest and most reasonable, and since everyone understood Shang Zhen's thoughts, they naturally agreed and supported them.

On the surface, these words are reasonable and well-founded, but in fact, everyone who thinks about Shang Zhen in his heart does not know, although it is for the good of Shanxi, but it is also to protect himself, this Xinzhou has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, if Yan Xishan really wants to move himself, he is also prepared to resist the city and hold on, every time he thinks of this, he has some indescribable wry smile and self-deprecation, and Yan Xishan's interaction has achieved a good story, but behind the good story is the sword and sword, Who would have thought that an encounter like Liu Bei and Guan Yu would come to such a point today, it is really embarrassing, but he and Yan Xishan did not have the courage and confidence to fulfill this good story. It is the best ending for each other that gentlemen can never make friends with each other, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and the hearts of those who can be fulfilled by God will not.

"General, there's a telegram from Taiyuan." The adjutant came to Shang Zhen's side and whispered.

Shang Zhen Muran glanced back at him, waved his hand, and said, "Say it." ”

The adjutant glanced at the generals present and said in a low voice: "The subordinates don't dare, it's better for the general to watch alone." As he spoke, he put the telegram in front of Shang Zhen cleanly, and after Shang Zhen reached out and took the telegram and opened it, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, as if he was smiling, but it didn't seem to be.

"What's the joy of your lordship?" Huang Guanghua said tentatively.

Shang Zhen said: "It's nothing, Yan Dujun rewarded our performance in Xinzhou and sent General Yang Aiyuan to come to the labor army to condole." ”

"Great! Our brethren have not forgotten their deeds! ”

Just when everyone was celebrating, Shang Zhen's face was a little embarrassed, this Yang Aiyuan is Yan Xishan's henchman, although he is also from Baoding Military Academy, but his ability to fight is that he can't be beaten with hemp rope and tofu kicking and fighting, but this person also has a benefit, that is, he is loyal and obedient, he himself once said: "Work with the president (Yan Xishan), don't contradict him, and don't do the opposite with him." He will do what he tells you to do, and if he doesn't let you do anything, don't do anything. It's so much easier. "Perhaps it is for this reason that he has become the descendant of Yan Xishan's lineage, because even if he can't fight, he has always served in the army, and he has a characteristic of his position, he has never been a chief officer, a deputy of all colors, although he is kind and sincere, he does the role of supervising the army.

In normal times, it is no different, but now that Shang Zhen and Yan Xishan Province have a mustard, they will inevitably have some other small ideas.

"Report, there is an urgent telegram from the front of the general!"

Shang Zhen came to his senses and said, "Read! ”

"Wuning Lu Zhonglin took refuge in Sun Chuanfang, and was appointed by Sun Chuanfang as the guard of Yanmen Town, and on the same day, Feng Yuxiang announced his departure from the field in Wuning and fled the Soviet Union."

When everyone heard the news, they cursed more than once, when the fierce battle in the north of Jin, Sun Chuanfang did not contribute to the work, and now he picked peaches, not to mention, he turned against the guest, and occupied Shanxi Prefecture and County when he really didn't know where to go, and asked for war one after another. Shang Zhen felt a sense of relief in his heart for no reason, and said: "Sun Chuanfang's actions have lost morality, my generation of loyal and righteous people should have sent troops to fight, but Sun Chuanfang is also a big man, rash attack is definitely not what my generation did, all the monarchs are waiting for the Taiyuan military order!" ”

"Yes, General~!"

The gears of fate have begun to turn, some things are coming too fast, there is no room for tactfulness, Shang Zhen looked at the generals who responded loudly, and couldn't help but shake his head.
