Hearing Zeng Zhongsheng say this, Li Jiansheng nodded secretly in his heart, and guessed that the chief of staff must have an opinion now, so he laughed out loud at the moment. Seeing the legion commander smile, Zeng Zhongsheng, who was a human spirit, also laughed. He knew that his thinking was the same as that of the regiment commander, and it seemed that there was a big battle to be fought.

After laughing, the two of them made chairs on the stones on the side of the road and began to fight. While deducing, Li Jiansheng secretly thought: It seems that the current situation is still moving forward like the official history. In fact, when the Central Red Army broke through the four blockade lines, Chiang Kai-shek stepped up the deployment of troops, on the one hand, mobilizing five or six times the strength of the Central Red Army to deploy a tight bag-shaped defensive line in the areas of Chengbu, Suining, Wugang, Zhijiang, Huitong, and Jingzhou north of the passage; On the one hand, the local warlords in Hunan, Guizhou, and Guizhou were ordered to divide their troops to intercept and encircle the encirclement in an attempt to completely annihilate the Central Red Army. And the meeting on the passage, held a few days ago, solved an important problem for the Red Army, that is, the question of life and death. This is because before entering the passage, the leaders of the "leftist" adventurism, Li De, Bogu, and others, despite the actual situation in which more than half of the Red Army's strength had been lost after the Xiangjiang Campaign and the treacherous situation in which the enemy was waiting for the net, still adhered to the established policy of marching north from the passage to Xiangxi to join the divisions of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps. The Central Red Army, with more than 30,000 men, will face a decisive battle to the death, and the whole army will be in danger of being annihilated at any time. Under such circumstances, it happened that he scolded several central leaders at the gate of the passage city. Of course, he also knew that at this critical juncture, and he did not know whether it was the inertia of history or his own words scolding the head of the CPC Central Committee that played a role, the principal leading comrades of the CPC Central Committee held an emergency meeting in the county town of Tongdao on 10, 11, and 12 December, that is, the famous "Tongdao Conference" in history. At the meeting, Chairman Mao strongly advocated abandoning the original policy of joining up with the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps and instead marching to Guizhou, where the enemy's strength was weak.

Although he did not attend the meeting, Li Jiansheng was still very concerned. Because he knows that at the passage meeting in history, Mao Weiren famously said: "Why don't we come to avoid the truth and get rid of the strong enemy in front of us and go to Guizhou?" Why do you have to go for a pocket? The road is facing the sky, go to each side! Historically, this sentence of Mao Weiren played a role, allowing the Central Red Army to divert its course, and finally survived. Li Jiansheng doesn't know if Mao Weiren also said this sentence at this channel meeting as in history!

And the fact that Li Jiansheng doesn't know now, and who he didn't know many years later, is that history is always strikingly similar, because the "channel meeting" held one day earlier than history, Mao Weiren still said this. This time, however, he said it with much more weight than he did in history, and the recipients were much greater. You must know that Li Jiansheng's angry rebuke and scolding in front of the gate of the passage city is equivalent to giving a preventive shot to all the participants, and everyone accepts Li Jiansheng's views in their hearts, so when Mao Weiren puts forward his views, he does not encounter greater resistance as in history. This also shows that Mao Weiren intervened in the core of the Red Army earlier than in history. Historically, although the channel meeting agreed with Mao Weiren's views and accepted his suggestions, due to the disagreement among the central leadership, it failed to make a decision on the general direction of the strategic shift, and Mao Weiren did not intervene in the core position. In history, the status of Mao Weiren was gradually formed at the beginning of the Passage Conference, and after the subsequent Liping Conference and the Monkey Field Conference, and the core position of Mao Weiren was truly established after the Zunyi Conference!

In fact, after breaking through the four blockade lines, especially the Xiangjiang Campaign, Bogu and Li De were in low spirits and had great mood swings, and the main task of commanding the Red Army had fallen on the shoulders of Zhou Enlai. The actual situation of the meeting was that Zhang Wentian and Wang Jiaxiang, who attended the meeting, had been persuaded by Mao Zedong during the Long March and fully agreed with Mao Zedong's opinions; Zhou Enlai also made it clear that he supported Mao through the reflection of the Xiangjiang Campaign; Although Bogu no longer insisted, he did not give up the established policy of eventually going north with the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps. Therefore, at the critical juncture at that time, at the very moment when Li De and others were at a loss, they had to accept Chairman Mao, a great historical man who grew up in the historical practice of the Chinese revolution. Li Jiansheng, who is familiar with history, knows that the rise of Mao Weiren is an inevitable process of historical development, from the channel meeting to the Zunyi conference, his leadership position was gradually established, and the channel meeting accepted the proposal of Mao Weiren, who had been excluded for more than two years, for the first time, which was a key victory turn. And now, due to the arrival of Li Jiansheng, due to the arrival of the Red Third Front Army, and due to Li Jiansheng's angry rebuke and scolding in front of the gate of the passage city, all of them secretly helped Mao Weiren to intervene in the core level in advance!

As in history, under the pressure of the situation, Mao Weiren's opinion on abandoning the division with the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps and marching to Guizhou, where the enemy's strength was weak, was endorsed by the majority of comrades present. Immediately after the meeting that day, in the name of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, a telegram was sent to the commanders of all army corps and columns to march west into Guizhou with "ten thousand urgency." At this meeting, Mao Weiren, as in the official history, turned the tide and proposed a transfer of troops of historic significance. And the Red Seventh Army received the task issued in the name of Zhu Lao: to serve as the rear guard of the whole army. That night, when Li Jiansheng visited Mao Weiren, the great man also clearly put forward several suggestions to Li Jiansheng about Li Jiansheng's Red Seventh Army as a guard, Li Jiansheng remembered them one by one, and had the intention to use them a few times in future battles.

Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng came to his senses: now is not the time for his own memories and thoughts! Now is the time for military exercises, but there can be no more distractions! At that moment, Li Jiansheng gathered his mind, and while deducing with Zeng Zhongsheng, he introduced some information he knew to Chief of Staff Zeng: On December 15, the Central Red Army transferred its troops westward from the passage in two ways. One route enters the new factory and Pingcha in Jingzhou County through the county stream of Tongtong County, and then enters Guizhou by the new factory and Pingcha in two ways. Boyang, which passed through the passage, entered Hongzhou in Guizhou and marched to Liping. On the same day, the Central Military Commission issued a telegram order to all army corps and columns to "quickly break away from the enemy in Guizhou, enter Guizhou in the west, and seek opportunities to move into northern Guizhou." On the 18th, after the central column entered the Guizhou border, the Central Military Commission ordered the 2nd and 6th Army Corps of the Red Army, which were operating in western Xiangxi, to coordinate their actions and mobilize or contain the enemy in Qianyang, Zhijiang, and Hongjiang, so as to coordinate the Central Red Army's march to northern Guizhou. On the 20th, that is, today, the Central Committee held a meeting of the Politburo in Liping, which further discussed the issue of strategic principles and affirmed the correct proposition put forward by Mao Weiren at the channel meeting on transferring troops to Guizhou.

After introducing this situation, Li Jiansheng asked Zeng Zhongsheng to formulate a plan to destroy the enemy first, and then it was discussed and approved by several of their army leaders. Zeng Zhongsheng nodded, agreed, and went by himself. Li Jiansheng looked in the direction of Liping in the west for a while, and his heart was filled with emotion: on December 15, the Central Red Army turned westward, two days later than in the official history; On the 18th, the day when the Liping Conference was held and the Red Eighth Army Corps was withdrawn, it has now become the day when the Central Column officially entered the Guizhou Territory, and the Red Eighth Army Corps has not been revoked, and now it has also entered the Guizhou Territory as the left rear wing of the Central Red Army. On the 20th, today, two days later than in history, the Liping Conference was held!

It seems that although history has changed slightly, it is still sliding forward normally according to the original trajectory!
