"Don't worry, money, I'll pay it myself, I won't trouble the principal, I'll also pay for the weapons and ammunition myself, as for how to get it, hum, hum, after the arsenal is built, I will have as many guns and ammunition as I want." After returning to Chengdu, Zhuang Jihua confessed to Zeng Kuo.

Zeng Guangqing looked at him dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "Cultural Revolution, aren't you afraid that he will point at your nose and scold?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Deng Jinkang is not so stupid." Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly: "His thousands of guns are still in my hands, and it won't do him any good to anger me." By the way, after I leave, you have to stay in Chengdu, I will give you a code book, and you have to report the situation in Chengdu to me at any time, Brother Enlargement, we are in the fire this time, and we must be cautious and cautious. ”

Zeng Guangqing nodded, and Zhuang Jihua said again: "Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao are the same way, with Deng Xihou's help, Tian Songyao, I don't think there is any problem, Brother Enlargement, you must pay attention to the way you carry out your work, and move around more with the upper tasks, but in the 24th Army, your attention should be on the middle level, especially those brigade commanders and regiment commanders who directly control the troops, but you don't come forward, your goal is too big, let the people below go, I think that Fang Xiao is good, you can cultivate and cultivate." Fang Xiao is responsible for propaganda of the provincial party department, Zhuang Jihua found that several draft activities he planned were excellent in terms of both the general direction and the details of the work of the provincial party department, so he began to pay attention to this person.

"....Visit Liu Wenhui and ask him to assist the exploration team and the survey team, Liu Mankou agreed, and during the banquet, he openly wooed Ren Naiqiang, the inspector of Chuankang, and made it for Liu. ….”

"On June 14, I traveled to Qingcheng Mountain with Deng Xihou, accompanied by Secretary Liu Wenhui, the commander of the 24th Army Corps, and several battalion commanders, ...... had a private meeting with Deng at the Daoist Pavilion, and the content was unknown."

"I returned to Chengdu on the evening of June 14, and inspected party affairs at the provincial party headquarters on the 15th, but did not go out."

"On June 16, he paid a return visit to Tian Songyao and had an hour-long meeting on the movement and safety of the exploration team and the survey team in the field defense area.

"On the 17th, I went to Sichuan University to discuss the development of Sichuan's resources with the professors and experts of the school, and mobilized them to participate in the Southwest Development Task Force."

"Eighteenth, I had a discussion with a professor from Southwest University...."

"Nineteenth, I had a discussion with a professor from West China Medical College...."

…

At the end of June, the weather in Yucheng was unusually hot, and the electric fan in the office shook its head vigorously, sending out hot air, Liu Xiang carefully watched the compilation of intelligence from Chengdu at the military headquarters, and he did not believe Zhuang Jihua's words; Zhuang Jihua went to Chengdu this time, he not only sent a secretary, but also strictly ordered the intelligence personnel in Chengdu to pay close attention to Zhuang Jihua's activities and report it every day.

"I don't think so." Fu Chang, who was also in the office, looked through the information on the sofa, Zhuang Jihua's behavior in Chengdu was nothing unusual, as long as Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, and Tian Songyao nodded, most of the Sichuan exploration team could be unimpeded.

"On the 22nd, we left Chengdu and returned to Chongqing via Neijiang." Zhang Sike read, and then asked curiously: "It's the 28th today, why hasn't it arrived yet?" ”

"Maybe there's some accident on the way." Fu Chang yawned and put the information in his hand on the table, he was only wearing a summer military uniform, but most of the buttons of the military uniform had been unbuttoned, and the belly that had been slightly bulging was faintly visible.

"I'm afraid not." Liu Xiang casually handed over another piece of information.

Fu Chang took it and took a look, and it was written that Yang Sen's representative Yu Mingrui had arrived in Chengdu and had gone to the provincial party headquarters to talk to Zeng Kuoqing.

"Yang Zihui is a restless person, and he can't bear it when he smells a little wind and grass." Fu Chang said lightly after reading it.

"Yang Zihui is not alone, he still has Li Jiayu and Luo Zezhou there, adding up to forty or fifty thousand people." Liu Xiang's tone contained a hint of worry.

"It's not surprising, didn't they specifically invite Zeng Guangqing to Hechuan last year? Yucheng also has a lot of their eyeliner, Zhuang Wenge came, it is impossible for them not to know, and it is impossible not to come to explore the depths. Zhang Si was not surprised: "But as long as Chiang Kai-shek does not send troops into Sichuan, there is no way for the Zhuang Cultural Revolution." ”

"Fu Gong, I think we might as well come to Zhaotoushi to ask for directions, and when Zhuang comes back from the Cultural Revolution, show him our Yaskawa plan, and ask him to forward it to Chairman Jiang, and see what he has to say then." Fu Chang thought about it and made a suggestion.

Zhang Sike blinked his eyes and said, "Throwing stones to ask for directions, it's a good idea." We can not only test whether Chiang Kai-shek really supports us, but also try out what Zhuang Jihua's idea is in the gourd. ”

"Good!" There was a burst of applause in the teahouse, and then the gong sounded, and the teahouse was quiet again, and the actors on the stage shook out a series of water sleeves.

Liu Xiang guessed correctly, Zhuang Jihua was indeed in Hechuan, he did not see Yang Sen's representative in Chengdu, but told him through Zeng Kuoqing that he would meet them in Hechuan on the way back.

In Hechuan Zhuang Jihua received the real guest treatment, Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, and Luo Zezhou all rushed to Hechuan to wait, and also invited three troupes from Yucheng and Chengdu, and the big drama was turned around.

In Zhuang Jihua's opinion, Yang Sen and the three are better to deal with than an old fox like Deng Xihou, these three people can be described as desperate, Yang Sen still has the territory of four counties, but Li Jiayu and Luo Zezhou have no territory at all, Li Jiayu More than 15,000 people are stationed in Zhoukou Town, Peng'an, which is Yang Sen's territory; More than 5,000 people from Luo Zezhou were stationed in Wusheng, which was Liu Xiang's territory. The military salaries of Li Luo's two departments were borne by Yang Sen and Liu Xiang, and the two departments had a miserable life.

In the battle of Beidao and the battle of upper and lower eastern Sichuan a few years ago last year, all three were defeated and lost, and the situation was heavy, and he gritted his teeth when he mentioned Liu Wenhui, and he did not have a good impression of Liu Xiang.

Yang Sen said publicly at the banquet: "This Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are a [***] stick, and they are all fucking the same goods." ”

Li Jiayu was even more worried that Chiang Kai-shek would support Liu Xiang, so he repeatedly reminded Zhuang Jihua: "Liu Xiang is very cunning, don't look at his current support for the chairman of the committee, this is entirely because of Liu Wenhui, once Liu Wenhui is eliminated, he will turn his face and deny people, and even call the army a rebellion, and ask the general to check his intentions in detail and forward it to the chairman, we hope that the chairman of the committee agrees and gives the necessary support, we can go east and expel him from Yucheng, so as to truly relieve the central government's worries in the southwest." ”

Luo Zezhou was even more resentful, he originally had a division of more than 20,000 people, and there were 11 counties such as Nanchong and Xichong in the defense area, and only 5,000 people were left under the continuous defeat, and the territory was swept away. He also suggested to Zhuang Jihua: "General Zhuang, don't look at Liu Xiang's humble face, as if he is very loyal, in fact, the blind man has a lot of hearts to eat rice balls, and there are many ghosts, don't be coaxed by him." ”

…… Happiness came too suddenly, Zhuang Jihua couldn't believe it, but he didn't want to dampen their "positive surname", but he didn't worry about whether they were instructed by Liu Xiang to listen to his own mouth, so he didn't dare to reveal the plan for the time being.

"The president is very clear about the situation in Sichuan, and I myself am very sympathetic to your situation, and the president asked me to come to Sichuan to develop Sichuan's resources, and only a stable political situation can be built smoothly, so everything is based on stability." Zhuang Jihua said: "However, to be honest, the morale of the troops in the Sichuan army is generally low, and now the red disaster is serious. ”

The three of them looked at each other, they didn't know what Zhuang Jihua meant, Zhuang Jihua didn't explain, turned his head, and when he chatted with the three of them secretly at night, he began to "lure": "I remember that when we were in the Northern Expedition, the morale of the troops was very high and the combat effectiveness was very strong, why?" It is because we have a political department, and political workers play a great role, and I suggest that you restore the political work system in the army. ”

Yang Sen nodded: "Right to the head, right to the head, I also ran a political department back then, and Zhu * De and Chen * Yi helped to do it, but they are all Communist Party C, and when they leave, they don't have a suitable candidate." ”

Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "This is no problem, I have a few people there who can support you, but there is only one family, and I don't have more manpower, and I ask the generals for forgiveness." ”

Yang Sen was the first to understand and laughed: "Thank you very much, I welcome the general's representative at any time." ”

As soon as this means that as soon as the two words came out, Li Jiayu and Luo Zezhou also understood that Chen Shunong, the real director of Hechuan, was a subordinate of Deng Xihou, and Deng Xihou had already sent a telegram to him, asking him to do a good job in protecting Zhuang Jihua and providing him with all convenience. Therefore, Chen Shunong gave Zhuang Jihua all the convenience, and did not even participate in their secret talks.

Later, in order to allow them to smoothly reorganize the troops, Zhuang Jihua provided them with two million oceans each, and now Yang Sen and they understood that Zhuang Jihua did not adopt their opinions, but that the time had not come.

On this occasion, both sides of the Sichuan meeting were overjoyed, and it couldn't have been more complete, and Yang Sen's three departments accepted Zhuang Jihua's representative, accepted his two million oceans, and got on his "thief" ship.

Before Zhuang Jihua, who returned from Hechuan satisfied, had no time to catch his breath, Liu Xiang sent someone to invite him to the Liziba Military Headquarters.

After greeting each other for a few words, Liu Xiang went straight to the topic: "Cultural Revolution, this is the strategy I drew up to suppress bandits in Anchuan, help me refer to it, okay." ”

After speaking, he handed the plan to Zhuang Jihua, and Zhuang Jihua took it and looked through it carefully:

“… Although Jiangxi's military efforts to suppress bandits are temporarily unfavorable, as long as we can ensure that the whole of Sichuan is not harassed by communist bandits, and as long as we trap it in a corner of Jiangxi and do not spread to all parts of the country, we will eventually exterminate it one day. Liu Wenhui occupies a vast territory, and all of them are rich lands, and as the chairman of the province, he not only does not follow the central government's decrees, but also has other intentions, and whenever the political situation is turbulent, he will take the opportunity to agitate ,......"
