Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan with a shocked face, and the corners of his mouth were a little unclear: "Xingru, how is this good?" ”

Yang Aiyuan frowned and said: "Zhang Xinghan is moving so fast, in this way, our army is in a dilemma." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"So how do we choose?" Yan Xishan was anxious.

Yang Aiyuan looked at Yan Xishan solemnly and said: "Chairman, because there is a precedent of the Central Plains War, we and Chairman Jiang have each other in our hearts, even if we cooperate, it is for the sake of immediate interests, once the crisis is resolved, then it is very likely that a conflict will break out."

And unlike Zhang Xinghan, we have no old grudges with him, the battle of Jinnan, also & pig & pig & island & novel {}. {zhuzhu} {dao}. If the chairman chooses him here, he will have a helping hand in helping Zhang Xinghan, sending charcoal and icing on the cake, and the wise man will be elected as the former.

Of course, there is one thing we must ask Zhang Xinghan to agree, otherwise it is better to break the jade than to be complete. ”

………………

Changzhi south of the city, strengthen the temporary headquarters of the regiment.

For Changzhi's attack, it is now a feint, aimed at containing Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu's two divisions and not daring to go all out to aid Taiyuan.

It's not time for the real onslaught yet, so Zhang Xinghan is not in a hurry, he is very comfortable sitting on the stool on the patchwork of the ammunition box with Erlang's legs crossed.

Suddenly, a communications soldier in the headquarters took off his headset and stood up, turned to Zhang Xinghan and saluted: "General seat, Yan Xishan from Taiyuan is calling. ”

"Oh? How so? Zhang Xinghan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and asked with interest.

"Yan Xishan expressed his willingness to issue an armistice telegram, but instead of surrendering, he formed a military alliance with our army, with you as the commander-in-chief.

After the armistice in Shanxi, the Jin Sui Army was willing to jointly send troops to the Central Plains with our Northeast Frontier Army, but all units of the Jin Sui Army needed to remain under Yan Xishan's control, and the transfer of officers also needed to be approved by Yan Xishan. "The communications corps hasn't finished reading yet.

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and interrupted him: "Don't read it, Yan Xishan still asks for local economic income in Shanxi." Are all government officials still out of Taiyuan? Our Northeast Frontier Army is not allowed to be stationed in Shanxi? ”

The Messenger nodded.

Zhang Xinghan snorted disdainfully and said, "Yan Xishan has made a good wishful thinking, so that his Shanxi will still become a country within a country as before."

Lao Tzu raised hundreds of thousands of troops on a large scale, is it just in exchange for a so-called military alliance for him?

It's like taking off your pants and farting, and that's more. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand boldly and ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to Yan Xishan in my name, the Jin Sui Army must accept the reorganization of our Northeast Frontier Army and unify it into the 5th Group Army of the Northeast Army."

Officers above the division level can still be appointed and arranged by Yan Xishan himself, but the government affairs of all counties and cities in Shanxi Province. Taxes must be uniformly delegated by the new government after the reorganization is completed in the future.

The Ministry of Finance is nationalized, and the salaries of all units are also uniformly distributed by the Logistics Department.

Of course, the title of the 5th Group Army of the Northeast Army is only temporary, and after the reorganization is completed in the future, the Central Military Commission will uniformly agree on the number of troops stationed in various localities, the battle sequence, and many other matters.

As for the conditions I promised, I will definitely do what I say.

There is an additional article at the end, clearly telling Yan Xishan that the current battle situation in Shanxi is for our army. The capture of Taiyuan is like probing for things, and victory is nothing more than the difference between early and late.

The reason why Zhang was willing to negotiate peace with him was because he didn't want to see hundreds of thousands of Jin Sui troops and our Northeast Army killing each other, and he couldn't bear to see the three Jin fathers and elders suffering from swords.

Of course. If Chairman Yan is stubborn, then Zhang will have to accompany him to the end. ”

The Signal Soldier quickly took notes, saluted, and turned to sit down. Start shooting a telegram.

Zhang Xinghan took a puff of cigarette and said in his heart, I hope his carrot and stick strategy can be successful.

………………

Taiyuan. Inside the Yan Mansion.

After the telegram was sent, Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan began to wait anxiously.

It didn't take long for Adjutant Xu Youde to hurriedly walk in with a telegram.

Yang Aiyuan asked, "Adjutant Xu, did Zhang Xinghan call back?" ”

Xu Youde nodded and said, "Come back, it's here, do you want to read it to you, or ......?" ”

Yang Aiyuan turned his head to look at Yan Xishan and saw Yan Xishan nodding.

He signaled to Xu Youde.

Xu Youde opened the message and read it truthfully.

After he finished reading, Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan's faces were a little cloudy.

Yan Xishan still couldn't help but say, "Xingru, what do you say about this?" If we are not allowed to check the collection of government affairs, there is no tax revenue, which is equivalent to no source of military spending.

Without military spending, the control of the army will also fall apart, and in the future, if there are three long and two short, you and I will not even have the capital to protect the family. ”

In the final analysis, Yan Xishan, an old warlord, is still reluctant to let go of power, and he has risen from the troubled times, knowing that the gun is the capital to settle down.

Therefore, for Zhang Xinghan's seemingly selfless suggestion, he is obviously a little unacceptable.

I am afraid that in the future, Zhang Xinghan will unload the mill and kill the donkey and give him a shadow.

Yang Aiyuan is also in a dilemma, Zhang Xinghan's words at the end of the message, although there are threatening elements, but they are by no means arrogant.

It is foreseeable that if he does not accept his surrender, the Northeast Army will soon be able to attack the city of Taiyuan.

Moreover, Yang Aiyuan didn't need to ask to think that now that Yanmen Pass has been lost, then the Shang Zhen Department in the bloody battle at Jingcheng Pass is bound to not last long.

hesitated, and naturally there was no result, so Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan delayed the matter of the callback.

…………

To the south of the county seat of Changzhi, the regimental headquarters was strengthened.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Xinghan was inevitably a little anxious when he didn't see a reply from Taiyuan, but he knew that the more he had to calm down at this time, he dispelled the idea of sending another telegram to urge Yan Xishan.

Thinking of Jiang Baili, who was far away in Jilin, Zhang Xinghan instructed the communication soldiers to send a telegram to Jiang Baili, explaining the situation in Shanxi and asking him to help come up with ideas and think of a way.

…………

Jilin, General Headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Since Zhang Xinghan led his troops south, although Jiang Baili sat in the rear and coordinated the overall situation, he was concerned about the situation in Shanxi.

So he discussed with Shen Xingye, director of the Secrecy Bureau, and moved the radio stations of the two divisions to the telecommunications room of the general headquarters.

In order to provide the latest and most useful information to the southern expeditionary army far away from the front line.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Baili and Shen Xingye had dinner together and were playing chess together to pass the time.

Suddenly, the signal corpsman came with a telegram in his hand, and the commander-in-chief called.

After Jiang Baili took the message and read it hurriedly, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

Shen Xingye, who was sitting opposite him, saw this and asked, "Counselor, what's wrong?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Jiang Baili silently handed him the message.

After Shen Xingye also looked at it, he said: "Participate, the battle situation in Shanxi has obviously turned from danger to safety, and the situation is developing in a direction favorable to our army.

If Yan Xishan wants to surrender, if he doesn't, hundreds of thousands of troops of my 1st and 3rd armies will wave their troops to attack Taiyuan, and capture him alive, why is the general seat still so worried? ”

Jiang Baili shook his head slightly, and said: "The art of war is cloudy, the upper army is the second to attack the second to attack the city, the battle of Shanxi, if it can be resolved through negotiation, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the soldiers will take Taiyuan without blood."

It will be a great advantage for our army, and the most important point is that we can take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Central Army of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing is thousands of miles away, and the garrison strength in the Central Plains and East China is weak.

If it can capture the Central Plains and East China, then the Central Army under Chairman Chiang will lose the foundation of fighting for the world.

It is also possible to achieve the will of our army to hold peace talks and reorganize the new government.

On the contrary, if the Jin Sui army resisted desperately and refused to surrender, our army would have been able to capture Taiyuan and occupy Shanxi, but it had already missed the best fighter.

If during this period, hundreds of thousands of elites of the Central Army arrive in time and rely on the Yellow River to resist, then the Battle of the Central Plains will inevitably fall into a protracted war of attrition.

It is extremely unfavorable to our Chinese nation. ”

"Oh, listening to what the senza said, the humble lord understands the good intentions of you and the chief seat." Shen Xingye nodded suddenly in realization, and said, "Then Shenza, now that Yan Xishan has no response, what should we do?" ”

Jiang Baili pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why Yan Xishan still has a trace of fantasy is nothing more than Xu Yongchang of Xinzhou, Shang Zhen of Jingcheng, and Sun Chu of Changzhi.

I think the general seat should do the work of other generals of the Jin Sui army.

Divided and disintegrated, Sun Chu is Yan Xishan's confidant and favorite general, and it is impossible to rebel and take refuge.

Shang Zhen and Xu Yongchang can be used as a breakthrough, as long as one of the two of them is against the water, Yan Xishan will definitely be in trouble, and it will not be difficult to accept the surrender adaptation. ”

…………

Strengthen the regimental command.

After reading Jiang Baili's reply, Zhang Xinghan slapped the table excitedly and praised: "Gao, you deserve to be the chief of staff." ”

"Zhongzi, immediately contact the Xinzhou Station and Luxian Station of the Secret Bureau, and ask them to find a way to contact Shang Zhen and Xu Yongchang.

If the two of them are willing to overthrow, then they will be the heroes of the reorganization, and I should ensure that they serve in the military committee in the future and share military power with me. Zhang Xinghan instructed Guo Zhong.

The reason for this arrangement is because Jiang Baili believes that Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen are both famous generals of the Jin Sui Army, and Xu Yongchang has all the virtues of contemporary soldiers.

They have real talents, but their talents and skills have only been used to assist Yan Xishan for so many years, engage in civil wars, and warlord melees.

If it can be used on the right path, it is a great talent for the country and the nation.

As soon as the telegram was sent, a soldier came in and reported: "General seat, just now we went out to reconnoiter the situation and found that a large number of Jin Sui army reinforcements came from the north of Changzhi City at night, and the number was more than 5,000 people.
