Chapter 67: The young marshal stirs up the situation
Beiping, the Young Marshal's Mansion.
It was noon, and Zhang Shaoshuai was dining with Miss Zhao Si in the restaurant.
The attendant adjutant Chen Dazhang suddenly came from outside in a hurry, and saluted to Zhang Shaoshuai: "Young marshal, Chief of Staff Rong asks to see you." ”
"Oh, I see, you go first." Zhang Shaoshuai pretended to be calm and nodded.
After Chen Dazhang was ordered to leave, Zhang Shaoshuai apologized to Miss Zhao Si: "Qixia, Chief of Staff Rong is coming in a hurry, there must be something urgent, you eat first, and I will come when I go." ”
"Well, okay, Hanqing's military affairs are important, you can go." Miss Zhao Si nodded very understandingly.
After saying that, he got up and walked to the hanger to help Zhang Shaoshuai bring over the military jacket.
"It's been getting cold lately, so watch out for a cold." After helping Zhang Shaoshuai put on his coat, Miss Zhao Si said softly with concern.
"yes, I know." Zhang Shaoshuai kissed Miss Zhao Si on the forehead, and then turned to leave.
Out of the restaurant, Zhang Shaoshuai changed his calmness just now and hurriedly walked straight towards the conference room.
When he arrived, Rong Zhen was anxiously pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
Hearing the footsteps, Rong Zhen hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Zhang Shaoshuai, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Young Marshal." ”
Zhang Xueliang waved his hand casually and asked eagerly, "How is it?" Did it work? ”
Rong Zhen shook his head with a very bitter face: "I am incompetent, I sent two of our best players who stayed in Shenyang City, but they were still escaped by Zhang Xinghan's bastard, and a skilled man rescued him." ”
"This shrivelled thing has a big life." Zhang Shaoshuai was immediately annoyed when he heard this, sat down in the right position, lit a cigarette and said: "What is the situation outside the customs now?" ”
"I am not willing to fail, and I have transferred reinforcements from two divisions from China and North Korea, preparing to attack Shenyang again.
In order to resist, Zhang Xinghan vigorously expanded his army in Shenyang, and his army has now expanded to nearly 10,000 people, and is now stepping up the construction of fortifications. ”
"By the way, yesterday Gao Zhihang was ordered to lead the air force to attack the Liaoyang section of the South Manchurian Railway, and then encountered the Yuejun Air Force and won a 20-0 victory." Rong Zhen Road.
"Damn, this Gao Zhihang even dared to disobey his orders, Lao Tzu asked him to withdraw to Huludao, but he turned a deaf ear and ignored it." When Zhang Shaoshuai heard Gao Zhihang, he was immediately furious.
Seeing this, Rong Zhen immediately took the opportunity to say: "There is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
"What's the matter, say!" Zhang Xiaoliu, who was upset, said without thinking.
"Two days ago, a group of students from the Yanjing campus went to Shenyang to join the army at the call of Zhang Xinghan, and when they passed through Jinzhou, Wang Yizhe, commander of the Seventh Brigade of Reading Force, and Zhao Zhenfan, chief of staff, sent troops to escort these students to Xinmin City, and Zhang Xinghan personally led the cavalry to take these students to Shenyang."
Rong Zhen's eyes flashed with a sinister take the opportunity.
His purpose is very clear, Wang Yizhe is Zhang Xinghan's quasi-father-in-law, Zhang Xinghan has become Zhang Xiaoliu's henchman, and he can't get rid of it quickly, he wants to pull Wang Yizhe, who has repeatedly protected Zhang Xinghan, off the horse.
However, Rong Zhen obviously still underestimated Zhang Xiaoliu's importance to Wang Yizhe.
After Zhang Xiaoliu listened, he did not have the anger that Rong Zhen imagined, but changed the topic without any reaction: "Is there anything abnormal about our army in Jihei Province?" ”
Rong Zhen was a little discouraged, but he had to reply helplessly: "Zhang Xinghan sent a letter to the compatriots in the Northeast a few days ago, presumably the young marshal you have already read it, the letter to the compatriots has been issued, Ma Zhanshan and Li Du and others immediately gathered troops and responded positively, at present, Li Du has united Ding Chao, Xing Zhanqing and others have gathered more than 30,000 people and horses are rushing to Shenyang to help, but in Changchun, they were blocked by the 27th and 23rd brigades headed by Jilin Provincial Chief of Staff Xiqia, and the two sides broke out into a fierce battle, and they are currently in the stage of stalemate. ”
"Xiqia, Jixing and Li Guilin?" Zhang Shaoshuai was taken aback, and asked inexplicably: "Why did they intercept Li Duding Chao and others?" Could it be that they took refuge in Yu himself? ”
"This... I don't know ...... lowly position" Rong Zhen didn't dare to say with some hesitation: "However, if you didn't order them to intercept Ding Li and the others, then it is very likely that they have already colluded with Yue himself." ”
"Damn, Xiqia and Jixing are both relics of the former dynasty, and it doesn't matter if they collude with him, how can he, Li Guilin, follow them and join them?" Zhang Xueliang roared angrily.
It turned out that during the Second Zhifeng War, Li Guilin led his troops to fight fiercely with the Zhifeng army in order to cover the retreat of the large army, and made great achievements.
The reason why Zhang's father and son entrusted him with an important task was to check and monitor the remnants of the royalists such as Jixing and Xiqia in Changchun, but they never thought that when the situation changed, Li Guilin would also be in the same league with Xiqia Jixing and others.
How did he not get angry.
"Don't be angry, the situation outside the border is confusing now, Zhang Xinghan supports the army and respects himself, if he wants to let him hold Shenyang and defeat himself, with the Shenyang Arsenal as the basic, within three years, the three eastern provinces will no longer be owned by the young marshal." Rong Zhen has ulterior motives.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Shaoshuai looked at Rong Zhen with some displeasure.
"Young Marshal Mingjian, now Zhang Xinghan has a high reputation in the hearts of the people of the whole country because of his outstanding performance in the defense of Shenyang, especially in the northeast.
Judging from the fact that Ma Zhanshan, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Ding Chao and others led their troops to leave the garrison without the permission of the young marshal and galloped south to help Shenyang, their intentions are really intriguing.
Just imagine, if these reinforcements are helped, and Zhang Xinghan has the help of the air force, he will definitely be able to hold Shenyang and defeat the Yue army.
Once the Yue army is defeated and Zhang Xinghan has gained a foothold in Shenyang, he will divide the three eastern provinces with Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and others, and the young marshal will completely lose control of the three eastern provinces. ”
"And ......"
"And what?" Zhang Xiaoliu saw that Rong Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, and asked.
"And Wang Yizhe, the commander of the Seventh Brigade of Reading Force, is still Zhang Xinghan's father-in-law, so the young marshal has to guard against it." Rong Zhen cunning way.
"If they dare to do this, I will personally raise the division out of the customs and annihilate them in one fell swoop." Zhang Shaoshuai slapped the table in anger and roared.
"Young marshal, the current situation in North China is unstable on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent, and the main force of our Northeast Army is really difficult to get out of the customs at this juncture, but there is a way to avoid the above situation." Rong Zhen took the opportunity to say.
"What's the solution, let's hear it?" Zhang Shaoshuai naturally knew what the situation in North China was now, tens of thousands of people in Shi Yousan's old army, Yan Xishan's 100,000 Jin Sui army, and Song Zheyuan's tens of thousands of Northwest Army were all eyeing each other, and if he really transferred the elite of the 100,000 Northeast Army back to Guanwai, the situation in North China would immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.
That's why he pinned his hopes on the chief of staff.
Rong Zhen pretended to be mysteriously walked to Zhang Xiaoliu's side, and whispered his plan in his ear.
Zhang Xiaoliu frowned after hearing this, and hesitated: "This is not good, right?" Isn't it cheaper to say myself? ”
"Please forgive the humble position, the humble position believes that if Shenyang is occupied by Zhang Xinghan, the young marshal will never return to Shen Zhi, because he has become a hero of resistance, the young marshal wants to recapture Shenyang, and he has no name, and if he occupies it himself, the young marshal sends troops, it is to regain the lost territory, and the two surnames are completely different." Rong Zhen analyzed.
"But once Shenyang is lost, how easy is it to recapture it from my own hands?" Obviously, after the defeat of the Middle East Road, Zhang Xiaoliu has some phobia about a powerful country like Russia.
"Young Marshal Mingjian, we can wait for Zhang Xinghan and the Kwantung Army to be defeated and killed, and then take the opportunity to send troops, so that we can not only solve the trouble of Zhang Xinghan's henchman, but also recover Shenyang and improve the reputation and prestige of the young marshal, which is really a double win." Rong Zhen patiently weighed the pros and cons and analyzed.
