Chapter 240: Fulong Crouching Tiger

That's how things are in the world, you can never predict what's going to happen in the next moment. Plans always follow change. For some, too.

Li Yuanhong collapsed, Feng Guozhang came to power, and the battle between the government and the court ended, in exchange for a stronger struggle between the two major factions, the Anhui faction and the direct faction. Gradually, a group of younger and more energetic talents emerged, such as Xu Shuzheng, Le Yunpeng, Duan Zhigui, Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang and others.

Duan Qirui's plan is actually very simple, that is, to stabilize the south first, and after he unifies the central power, he will go back and slowly clean up the guys in the northeast and south who do not obey the central government. It's a pity that Duan Qirui beat away a Li Yuanhong, and a more ferocious Feng Guozhang came. Feng Yuxiang is also ready to move now, and seems to be uneasy.

All this made Duan Qirui even more irritable. At this time, Xu Shuzheng, his right-hand man, came up with an idea: "The chief must use tough means, even if it is not at the expense of a fight." ”

In this way, the root of the complete division of the Beiyang was buried.

After announcing the appointment of two Guizhou generals, Yang Shuai quickly returned to the outskirts of Guiyang and the military camp headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, Li Zongren rushed over with a happy face: "Commander, maybe you don't have to fight." ”

Yang Shuai's eyes opened and he looked at Li Zongren in surprise: "What? What's the situation? ”

Li Zongren: "When Wang Wenhua fought with Dai Hu in Zunyi, the loss was not small, and now Guiyang is surrounded, Dai Hu is the chairman, Guiyang City can no longer hold on, the squires and rich people don't support the two of them very much, Wang Wenhua wants to surrender, but Liu Xianshi is still hesitating." ”

Yang Shuai was overjoyed, snatched the information from Li Zongren's hand, looked down at it, his face became more and more ruddy, and the two walked into the headquarters quickly. Yang Yongtai: "Liu Xianshi is still hesitating, is he worried about the affairs of Guilin back then, and he is afraid that the commander will settle accounts after the autumn?" ”

Yang Shuai turned his head, and then looked at Li Zongren suspiciously, but saw Li Zongren shaking his head: "That's all I know so far, it's not clear yet." The commander did not return, and no one dared to make a decision in private. ”

Yang Shuai: "Contact Wang Wenhua, try to figure out Liu Xianshi's doubts and concerns as much as possible, and give the first condition, that is, I promise that if these two people agree to support Dai Huan as chairman, I will guarantee their safety, as well as private property, of course, I also have my first condition, that is, their army must accept the adaptation, which is not negotiable." ”

"Yes, Commander."

The surrender of Wang Wenhua and Liu Xianshi is not only a reason for not having to fight, but also a signal, a signal that symbolizes Yang Shuai's majesty, which cannot be ignored for the management of Guizhou in the future. And, more importantly, the surrender of Guizhou may even directly affect the shaking of the Yunnan side.

"Give Xiong Kewu a hint that there are not many 'foreign enemies' in Sichuan now, the Dian army and the Guizhou army have been defeated, and judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the Dian army that has retreated to Yunnan will re-enter Sichuan, so let Xiong Kewu pay attention to the movements in Chengdu and tell him that if Liu Cunhou is too powerful, this will not be a good thing for Xiong Kewu, and let Xiong Kewu try to contact Yang Sen of Zigong as much as possible, hoping that they can also establish a good relationship."

Li Zongren nodded: "The commander's move is to use Xiong Kewu to contain Liu Cunhou, so that no one in Sichuan will be dominant, and a divided Sichuan will be more beneficial to us than a unified Sichuan, isn't it?" ”

Yang Shuai nodded: "There is another reason, I don't want Liu Cunhou to go back south to Yunnan when his head is hot." If there is another war, maybe the Sichuan army will really be unified by Liu Cunhou, you must know that in the process of fighting, it is easiest to eliminate dissidents. ”

"Okay, Commander, don't worry, as long as Xiong Kewu still has a little ambition, he can understand the relationship between him and the commander now, without the support of the commander, Xiong Kewu is much more difficult."

Yang Shuai nodded, looking at the direction of Guiyang with an expectant and a little nervous. For two consecutive days, no one entered the headquarters, and Yang Shuai raised his head nervously, but he didn't wait for the news that Yang Shuai was looking forward to for a long time.

On the third day, Yang Shuai fell asleep, and suddenly his body shook, Yang Shuai was excited, and he opened his eyes to see the excited Li Zongren.

Li Zongren: "Commander, it's done, it's done, Guiyang has surrendered." ”

Yang Shuai jumped up, his movements were too intense, and his thigh knocked on the table, it hurt, it hurt, but Yang Shuai didn't care at all, his face was full of excitement: "Really? ”

Li Zongren nodded: "This morning, Wang Wenhua detained Liu Xianshi and announced that he welcomed Dai Huan back to Guiyang to take office. ”

Yang Shuai slapped the table and shouted: "Great, great, let's go, immediately arrange for me to see Wang Wenhua and Liu Xianshi." ”

Li Zongren: "This, commander, Liu Xianshi was detained by Wang Wenhua, and he is passive, maybe this person doesn't want this ending in his heart." ”

Yang Shuai grinned: "It's better to be like this, I still have to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, hehe, go." ”

Li Zongren looked at Yang Shuai, who was walking out excitedly, and was suddenly touched by Li Pinxian in the back, Li Zongren turned around, Li Pinxian smiled: "Commander, this is called balance, don't forget, the commander doesn't believe in Liu Xianshi, nor does he trust Wang Wenhua, and he also doesn't trust Dai Huan." ”

Li Zongren's mouth opened: "You mean-" but saw Li Pinxian spread his hands: "What?" I didn't say anything oh, hehe. ”

Everyone is happy, everyone is happy, Wang Wenhua surrendered after detaining Liu Xianshi, the gate of Guiyang was finally opened peacefully, when Dai Jian and Yang Shuai entered the city, red paper firecrackers, cheering crowd.

Riding on the horse, Yang Shuai turned around: "Yongtai, it seems that this battle can be fought, the people in Guiyang are not so repulsive to us, good, good, this is a good phenomenon." ”

Yang Yongtai nodded: "Commander, I admire your political propaganda work system very much, really, it is estimated that half of this is the effect of propaganda, and now everyone has a good impression of our Dinggui, oh no, the joint defense force." ”

Yang Shuai smiled, of course he knew how important propaganda was. In the words of later generations, in Yang Shuai's propaganda newspaper, there may be only two paragraphs that are true, one is the date, and the other is "We'll see you next time". Countless positive reports about the United Defense Force, about Yang Shuai, drowned out all the rhetoric of the attack in a newspaper war.

Speaking of publicizing this, anyone who has Yang Shuai is willing to spend money, and Yang Shuai's newspaper can be sent to the village, it is terrible to think about.

"What we want to establish is not a military government, but a government of the military and political branches, so the future main body of Guizhou is still the provincial council system, there is no doubt that Chairman Dai Jian is still our respected chairman, and I hope that everyone will quickly establish the parliament under the leadership of Chairman Dai."

At the conference in Guiyang, Yang Shuai kept silent and did not mention anything about military affairs, nor did he object to Dai Huan's identity. After the meeting ended, Li Zongren, Yang Shuai, and Lin Hu rushed over. At this time, Lin Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Shuai smiled: "Chief of Staff, I'll just say that you can do it, you see, you haven't done a good job during this time, hahaha." ”

Lin Hu: "That's because during this time, Tang Jirao was stumped by the matter of entering the Sichuan and Yunnan Army, and Gu Pinzhen was busy usurping power, otherwise I would be so relaxed, this kind of thing, don't happen a second time, I haven't led troops for a long time, and I suddenly picked up the military power, and I panicked." ”

Yang Shuai: "Okay, now that the matter in Guizhou has come to an end for the time being, Li Zongren still has to stay in Guiyang at this stage, one is to guard against internal chaos, and the other is to pay attention to Xiong Kewu and Hunan." Now, it's time to come back and take a look at Yunnan. ”

Lin Hu: "Didn't the commander get Tang Shengzhi first?" ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Do you think Tang Shengzhi still has the courage to come to Guangxi at this time?" Everyone laughed, so Yang Shuai and a group of senior officers rushed to the battlefield on the Western Front non-stop.

"I heard that Director Dai Li is in contact with Gu Pinzhen?"

Yang Shuai nodded: "That's what I mean, Yunnan can't let Tang Jirao continue to be in charge, his popularity is too high, we can't control it." Next is Luo Peijin, Gu Pinzhen, Hu Ruoyu and a few others, Luo Peijin's prestige in the army is not small, not an ideal person, Hu Ruoyu's position is very embarrassing now, and it is more difficult to help him. Gu Pinzhen is most in line with our Peugeot, this person can mess with Yunnan and can be used by us. ”

Lin Hu: "Commander, I don't think this person can be bought by us, he has great ambitions, just look at his current actions." As soon as he got the command of the south, he immediately let his cronies Jin Handing and Ye Quan have heavy troops in their hands, such a person is difficult. ”

Unexpectedly, I saw Yang Shuai smile: "So, I also asked Dai Li to meet two people." With a clicky sound, Yang Shuai's fingers knocked on the map on the table in two places, Lin Hu looked down and was shocked.

"Commander, you can do it, it turned out to be premeditated."

Yunnan, Mengzi, two young generals gathered to meet each other and talked with a smile.

"Although you and I didn't graduate in the same year, but we were the most friends of the people, and then one of us was in the place, and the other went to Sichuan, and finally came back, but we encountered this again, hey, it's only a few years, and it's changed too much."

Another voice also laughed: "Don't sigh there, make yourself feel like you're seventy or eighty." It is said that both of us are from the Yi nationality, and it is not easy to get to this point. You came to me today, probably for this purpose. ”

Then the two hugged each other, talking and laughing.

Nanning, the most secret office of the dark Confidential Bureau, is not allowed to be approached by ordinary people in the director's office.

"Director, the two of them have already met."

Dai Li, who couldn't see his expression, nodded, and it was estimated that the person opposite couldn't see it, and only heard a faint voice: "Start the Fulong Crouching Tiger Plan, I'll go to Yang Tai, and after three days, the things must be sent to Yunnan." ”

"Yes, Director."

The man walked out, Dai Lian slowly stood up, facing the small window that opened to the north, and muttered to himself: "One, are you going well now?" ”
