He Guoguang's arrival solved a big problem for An Yi, he arranged the civil affairs of Yichang camp in an orderly manner, and every day he would take time to hold various discussions with celebrities from all over western Hubei, northern Hunan and eastern Sichuan who came to admire or come with some secret missions, and inspected everywhere to sympathize with the people's suffering, and soon won the trust and support of the people and various forces in Yichang and the surrounding areas, coupled with his natural advantage of being born in Hubei and growing up in Sichuan, he was either a classmate or a colleague in the old Japanese army with various warlords from all walks of life in Bashu. Accumulated deep contacts. With extensive connections, the surrounding forces were very supportive of the easy-going He Guoguang as the deputy director of the Yichang camp, and a week later, old classmates Liu Xiang and Yang Sen also secretly sent special envoys to contact and talk secretly.

He Guoguang, who is diligent in government affairs, does not know. His every move was under An Yi's covert surveillance, and whenever he encountered a major problem, he would discuss and decide with An Yi, and even send a telegram to the Central Committee and Commander-in-Chief Jiang to An Yi, without any shelf of relying on the old and selling the old.

He Guoguang's frank and upright mind, old and serious style, and far-sighted wisdom all made An Yi very admired and moved, if it weren't for the long-term plan established in his heart and the rational requirements for the realization of the majestic blueprint, An Yi would definitely not hesitate to withdraw the secret surveillance of He Guoguang, but now he can only continue to maintain it silently.

Gong Qian was very happy, three days later. An Yi quietly left the camp with the guards under the pretext that he wanted to breathe fresh air and distract himself. Go to the scenic spots and temples in the surrounding suburbs, and the lively and lovely little apricot blossoms also follow her from time to time to make Gong Qian like it, the two lingered between the green mountains and green waters, and almost forgot that there was still a chaotic world outside the body with more than war and roaring cannons.

On the battlefield of the Central Plains, after the fierce battle through Heishi Pass, Tang Shengzhi's troops finally stopped their worries, and General Fang Dingying, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army, led Wang Jun's Third Army and Ruan Xuanwu's Fourth Army to rush to the line from Zhengzhou to Jiacheng, and the new commander of the Ninth Army, General He Chengling, and the 13th, 14th, and 54th Divisions led by General Yang Jie, the commander of the 10th Army, rushed to southern Henan to join the battlefield, which greatly supported Tang Shengzhi's troops, and the fierce battle was still going on, but it gradually grasped the initiative.

Commander-in-Chief Chiang appointed Yan Xishan, who was watching from all sides, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 6th Navy and Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, personally went from Nanjing to Hankou to supervise the division, and expressed the oath and telegram of the crusade against Feng Yuxiang's rebels in the northwest, and handed over the post of chairman of the state government to Tan Yanhui as his deputy, and the post of commander-in-chief to Zhu Peide as his deputy, and devoted all his energy to the command of the war.

At the end of October, Wang Jinyu's 47th Division and Xu Yuanquan's 48th Division repelled Zhang Zizhong and Wei Fenglou's troops of the Northwest Army besieging Linru, and the Hu Jialin Independent Division, which had newly entered the battlefield under the command of Jiang Dingwen, conquered Miyang with one force and surrounded the Tang River. It was a great blow to the morale of their opponents, and the two were given a special commendation by Commander-in-Chief Chiang for this, adding another honor to the prestigious independent division.

Jiang Dingwen smiled from ear to ear, and rewarded Xiao Wu, Li Yuewu and the cavalry regiment, saying that this great victory was comparable to Ganning's "Hundred Cavalry Robbing Cao Ying" during the Three Kingdoms period, and also proposed to Commander-in-Chief Jiang for promotion of the two ranks.

At the same time, He Yingqin was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to go from Nanjing to Taiyuan to urge Yan Xishan to take up the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the 6th Air Force. Betrayed Feng Yuxiang again, Yan Xishan not only did not follow the agreement secretly signed with Feng Yuxiang to send troops to assist in the battle, but stopped the supply of food and ammunition to the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army, which was desperately short of ammunition in its stomach, could only be beaten from then on, and the whole battle situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

The Central Army, which had planes to assist in the war, won successive battles, pressing forward step by step, and the Northwest Army retreated step by step and struggled to support it, and the battle situation became clearer, and the heroes of all walks of life who were originally anti-Chiang also closed their mouths and cowered with interest, and withdrew the content of the telegram asking for Chiang Kai-shek, preparing for the next telegram supporting Chiang Kai-shek.

Feng Yuxiang, who was then calculated by Yan Xishan, was extremely angry, and on 5 November he disclosed the contents of his secret agreement with Yan Xishan to Reuters and other visiting Chinese and foreign reporters, revealing the secret that the two had originally formulated to cooperate sincerely and unanimously against Chiang Zhongzheng and establish a new central government in Beiping after winning a military victory.

After the news was released, the whole country was in an uproar. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Xishan immediately telegraphed the whole country and ceremoniously took up the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the 6th Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army. Refuting Feng Yuxiang's "Lies and Fallacies"

And held a grand inauguration ceremony in Taiyuan and Beiping, calling on the whole people to unite to defeat the warlord Feng Yuxiang, support the central leadership, and end the civil war, and at the same time once again put Feng Yuxiang, who lived under his roof, under house arrest, and forbade Feng Yuxiang to continue to command all units of the Northwest Army to fight by radio. The Northwest Army, which had no dragons, was quickly defeated.

Seeing that the situation in the northwest was unfolding in a favorable direction to the center, Chiang Kai-shek had not been able to take a good breath, and the situation in Guangxi had changed dramatically again, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Shaolian took advantage of the favorable opportunity of Chiang Feng's war to sneak back to Guangxi from Hanoi.

Huang Shaolian, who was extremely courageous, stood up against public opinion, went to Nanning alone, broke into the headquarters of Guangxi Provincial Chairman Lu Huanyan, coldly glanced at dozens of old subordinates who were holding a military meeting, and looked at the brave generals one by one, and sweated in his spine, and hung his head in shame. In just a few words, many old subordinates were brought back under his command. The next day, he and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, who rushed to Nanning to rendezvous, sent a telegram against Chiang.

Wang Jingwei, the leader of the party reorganization faction in Hong Kong, and a group of elders were overjoyed after receiving the news of Guangxi's opposition to Chiang, and regardless of whether the princes from all walks of life were willing or not, they immediately appointed Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the first road to protect the party and save the party, Yan Xishan to the second road, Zhang Ben to the third road, Tang Shengzhi to the fourth road, and Shi Yousan to the fifth road.

At the same time, Wang Jingwei sent a special envoy to Nanning. He brought 800,000 yuan in aid and promised to be responsible for the food, salary, weapons and ammunition of the Guangxi troops.

Li Zongren and others, who had returned from exile and were already penniless, were worried about money, and when they saw Wang Jingwei's sincerity, they immediately agreed, and the two sides hit it off, and once again sent a joint telegram, counting the crimes of Lao Jiang, and solemnly promising to the people of the whole country: Hold high the great banner of the Three People's Principles, continue to carry forward the spirit of the Northern Expedition, and lead the officers and men of the Gui Army to go north to defeat Wuhan with all their might with a little preparation, and build a new government that is democratic, free, and free from dictatorship!

Chiang Kai-shek, who returned to Nanjing, was so angry that he scolded his mother, and immediately ordered Chen Jitang, the commander of the Guangdong army, to lead his troops to attack Guangxi, and He Jian's Fourth Route Army in Hunan, Tan Daoyuan's division guarding Jiangxi was also ordered to go south to crusade against the hanging army.

At the same time that the whole country was in turmoil, while the Nanjing government was in a hurry, the situation in western Hubei was rarely calm, because the Yang Hucheng Department of the Northwest Army stationed in the Nanyang area had been watching coldly and did not follow Feng Yuxiang's order to attack Xiangyang in the south, An Yi was happy not to take the initiative to provoke, and the two sides were on guard against each other on the Hubei-Henan border, but they also lived in harmony. Chiang Kai-shek also did not want the western Hubei to start a war again, and he was deeply afraid that once the war started, it was likely to stimulate the warlords of all walks of life in Sichuan, who had stopped fighting, so that they would see the war tip spreading to their own side and have different intentions, and they would be bewitched by Feng Yuxiang and Wang Jingwei to unite against him.

Based on the current complicated situation and the sudden changes in Guangxi, Chiang Kai-shek finally gave An Yi, who was still recuperating, a secret order, and sent Zeng Guangqing to Yichang quietly to teach An Yi the opportunity.

An Yi, who received Chiang Kai-shek's secret telegram, thought about it repeatedly, and it was difficult to make up his mind for several days, and he rushed to convey Chiang Kai-shek's will, An Yi immediately understood the deep meaning, and invited He Guoguang to discuss secretly, and immediately convened his generals to discuss urgently.

After An Yi introduced the situation in the Central Plains and the situation in Guangzhou, he directly put the question in front of the brothers:

However, in view of the current situation, the Central Committee and Commander-in-Chief Chiang ordered us to protect the western part of the ministry and promote stability in the southwest, which requires a revision of the relevant profit calculations that are being carried out. On the Guizhou side, because Mao Guangxiang took the initiative to meet with Shi Zhen, the two sides eased the antagonism and contradictions, and Mao Guangxiang was appointed by the central government, and soon there were internal differences and the strength was greatly reduced, and the scope of interests of Shi Zhen's department in western Guizhou was not recognized.

And because Shi Zhen wants to stabilize the new territory, carry out the deployment and expansion of the overall defense, and do not want to have a conflict at this time, the expensive pieces are relatively stable. Commander-in-Chief Chiang also saw this small problem, and strictly ordered Mao Guangxiang, chairman of Guizhou Province, and Shi Zhen, the superintendent of the Qianxi Pacification Office, to strictly guard against the direction of Guangxi. Be prepared militarily for rebellion. ”

An Yi's voice changed and he asked a question: "However, there is such a problem here, Long Yunyingran of Yunnan was appointed by the central government in the middle of last month to expel the rebels and become the provincial chairman as he wished. However, Hu Ruoyu, the general of the Yunnan army who opposed him, and other troops still existed, hiding on the Sichuan-Yunnan border and relying on Liu Wenhui's secret support, and continued to attack Long Yun's troops without stopping.

It can be seen from this that Long Yun's coveting of Guizhou has never let go, and he is still thinking about Guizhou at this time, obviously with far-reaching plans and purposes, plus the alliance of Lin Sen, Liu Cunhou, Lai Xinhui, Guo Rudong, and Na Xihou secretly supported by Liu Wenhui was bribed and divided by Liu Xiang using various means. fell apart, and Liu Wenhui also quickly changed his face and suddenly established an alliance with Liu Xiang of the same clan, which made the situation in the entire southwest more complicated.

Previously, we underestimated the strength of the various warlords in central Sichuan and their xenophobia. Underestimating the common interests between them, we must adjust them from now on, otherwise, it is very likely to affect the situation in western Hubei and Xiangxi, and even in Yunnan and Guizhou, and a chaotic situation will appear that is difficult for us to predict and control. We are here today to discuss our next steps, and you brothers should discuss them. ”

"Director An, did Liu Xiang ask Deputy Director He for Badong and Enshi, which made Director An feel embarrassed?" Di Chuanxiang, the party representative of the 16th Division, asked sensitively.

All the brothers looked at An Yi, and An Yi smiled and asked, "Brother Chuanxiang thinks that it is better for the 16th Division to continue to guard Padang and Enshi, or to give up?" ”

"Badong and Enshi were obtained by the brothers with great effort, and if they were given to Liu Xiang in vain. It is estimated that the brothers are uncomfortable, at the end of last month, Liu Xiang's machine tools and gun processing equipment worth 9 million yuan were seized by us, but Director An and Director He finally let them go, the brothers have a lot of opinions on this, if they give up Badong and Enshi again, the impact on morale is incalculable! Deng Chuanxiang was unwilling and very worried.

An Yi nodded: "Brother Chuanxiang's words are reasonable and representative, look at the expressions of the brothers." I'm afraid that's what it means, but there are different reasons for the brothers to listen carefully. After listening, we will make a decision: "I have a greeting, senior and Zeng commissioner!" ”

He Guoguang and Zeng Guangqing, under the guidance of confidential staff officer Shi Pufang, walked into the side door with a smile on their faces. He greeted more than 30 participating generals and schools in a friendly manner. The generals did not have time to be surprised, and immediately stood up and respectfully saluted the two lieutenant generals.
