After Xue Yue entered Guiyang with the remnants of the 90th Division, he directly set up his headquarters in Guiyang City. Then he kept urging Wang Jialie to lead the main force of the Guizhou army to the battle.

Wang Jialie originally planned to defend Guiyang City with his main force, and let the Central Army, the Yunnan Army, and the Sichuan Army recapture northern Qianbei for him, but unexpectedly, Xue Yue let himself lead into the city in the name of visiting Guiyang City. As soon as he entered the city, he used the excuse of being sleepy and lacking horses, so he built a headquarters in Guiyang City and began to rest.

After all, Wang Jialie is the head snake of Guizhou, although Xue Yue did not say it, and Nanjing did not report it, but he still knew the news of the defeat of the Central Army in Qingxi Town and Yangping Town, after all, so many corpses always need to be buried.

It seems that the strength of the Red Bandits should not be underestimated, and they will never dare to provoke the Guizhou Army on their own, and they must form a group with the Central Army, the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, and the Hunan Army to defeat the Red Bandits. Besides, Xue Yue's new defeat may not dare to attack him now.

With a hint of luck and a hint of fear of the Red Army, Wang Jialie dispelled the idea of squeezing Xue Yue out of Guiyang with the strength of 10 regiments in his hands, leaving two regiments and many militia groups concentrated in Guiyang, leading the Guizhou army of 8 regiments, and began to advance in the direction of Zunyi.

Soon after leaving Guiyang, he met with the Sun Du Department of the Yunnan Army, and after the two armies discussed, it was decided to march along the north bank of the Wujiang River, and the south bank of the Wujiang River was handed over to the follow-up troops of the Central Army that had entered the southeast of Guizhou.

When the troops arrived at the Wujiang River and were about to cross the river, Wang Jialie received a secret report from Guiyang that Xue Yue had attacked the Guizhou army in Guiyang City, and the method adopted was to use the conditions of the central army's high salaries to attract soldiers and officers of the Guizhou army to join the central army.

Wang Jialie is also a scholar, and he has been in battle for a long time, and he has seen a lot of things about the annexation of troops, how can he not know the little Jiujiu in Xue Yue's heart? Damn, it seems that Jiang Guangtou and the Central Army are really more terrible than the red bandits, and they trust them in vain from the perspective of the battle situation, and as soon as they left Guiyang, Xue Yue began to use the knife.

Wang Jialie did not move forward, ordered the troops to stop advancing, organized defense on the spot, and hurried back to Guiyang with a regiment of the closest relatives, to ask Xue Yue what was going on in person.

As soon as he entered Guiyang, Wang Jialie's heart was cold. His own garrison was gone, and the sentries at the city gate were replaced by soldiers of the Central Army. The most annoying thing is that the sentry of the Central Army did not allow him to enter the city, and he was allowed to enter the city only if he had a warrant from Chief Xue. Damn, when did the city of Guiyang that Lao Tzu came to in the bloody war become Xue Yue's? The angry Wang Jialie just wanted to take out his pistol and kill the little sentry!

Looking at the machine gun muzzle of the black hole behind the fortifications piled up with sandbags at the city gate, Wang Jialie stopped the noise of his subordinates, held back his anger, and called Xue Yue.

As soon as Xue Yue heard that it was Wang Jialie, he was not polite, and directly asked him why he ran away?

Wang Jialie was shocked, this Xue Yue's tone was not good, and he charged himself with escaping from the battle, couldn't his dignified chairman of Guizhou Province and the commander of the 25th Army go back to Guiyang to deal with military affairs? Wait, now is not the time to fight with Xue Yue, don't fall for this guy's annihilation, let him deal with himself on trumped-up charges, so he said with a compromise: "Report to Chief Xue, I have important military information to report to you." ”

As soon as Xue Yue heard this, Wang Jialie softened, so he agreed to let him enter the city, and the troops also let him bring him in.

Wang Jialie is most afraid that Xue Yue will let him enter the city alone, which will be slaughtered by others, instead of going into the city to see Xue Yue's face, it is better to return to the Wujiang River, lead his main force south to Qiannan, rely on the Gui system, and seek other development. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi have already sent people to contact them, and they mentioned this plan. However, considering that the Central Army was busy dealing with the Red Army, he did not care about entangling with himself for a while, so he did not take decisive action.

Seeing that Xue Yue agreed with him to bring troops into the city, Wang Jialie was relieved and directly led the troops into Guiyang.

After entering the city, I went back to the mansion to see my wife. As soon as Mrs. Wan saw her husband come back, her usual composure was gone, and she told Xue Yue with tears in her nose and tears that Xue Yue was not a person, and she had a knife in her back. As soon as Wang Jialie led the army to leave, Xue Yue began to draw and divide the remaining troops of the Guizhou army. Now the Guiyang Garrison Headquarters has become an empty shelf, and the officers and soldiers who do not smoke big and are in good health have all been incorporated into Xue Yue's 90th Division, and even Xue Yue, the militia and security regiment drawn from various places, has exhausted all the strong, and in just over a day, the 90th Division has become fully staffed.

The two of them said I cried, I said you cried, and in the end they didn't come up with any good ideas. Helpless, Wang Jialie had no choice but to go to Xue Yue and test Xue Yue's attitude. If Xue Yue has a good attitude, he will endure this tone first, and then worry about it when he drives the red bandits away; If Xue Yue's attitude is not good, he will immediately use the front line as an excuse to take his wife out and lead the troops south to Qiannan to make another plan.

When Xue Yue saw Wang Jialie, his face was gloomy, and his cold gaze swept over Wang Jialie's face.

Seeing Xue Yue's unkind face, Wang Jialie regretted a little, he was really fucking messy, why did he go back to Guiyang? How good is it to leave the land of right and wrong directly with the troops, withdraw to southern Qiannan, and help each other with the Gui system, and wait for the Central Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Dian Army to fight with the Red Bandits, as long as their troops are in hand, no matter how the fucking Jiang bald head plays tricks and annihilates, in the end, he still needs to win over and appease himself? It's a good thing, the nest is occupied, and the swimming fish that is out of the country has taken the initiative to send it to the door! One wrong move, full loss!

Xue Yue was also hesitating at this time, should he directly take down Wang Jialie, or let him continue to lead the army to attack the red bandits? Directly take him down, the advantage is to solve the Guizhou problem once and for all, the disadvantage is that the enemy is at present, and he first takes the local powerful faction to attack, which is easy to cause a backlash from local forces, and it is a bit too hasty. If you let him go and let him continue to lead the army to attack the red bandits, the advantage is that the Qian army can be cannon fodder and take the lead for himself, and let the red bandits and local miscellaneous armies fight for consumption, the disadvantage is that after missing the opportunity, I don't know if Wang Jialie will become smarter, in case he pulls the troops away and runs to rely on Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, it will be troublesome. When the time comes, it will add many variables to the commission's plan to flatten the warlord regime in the southwest. If this situation really happens, coupled with the fiasco of Qingxi Town and Yangping Town, it is estimated that even if the committee does not hold himself accountable, he will be ashamed to jump into the Wujiang River.

Both of them were thinking about their hearts, and for a while, no one spoke.

Wang Jialie finally spoke: "Chief Xue, our army has converged with Sun Du in Yunnan, and plans to advance along the north bank of the Wujiang River, and the south bank of the Wujiang River is responsible for the [***] backup troops to form a two-front offensive against the red bandits, I don't know if Chief Xue thinks this is appropriate?" ”

Xue Yue put down his thoughts, walked to the map, pondered for a while, and said: "Brother Shaowu is very good in this deployment, after your department and Sun Du's department arrived on the north bank of the Wujiang River, the troops were divided into two routes, you led the main force of the 25th Army along the north bank of the Wujiang River to take Zunyi, Sun Dubu served as your left flank, and attacked Zunyi in a roundabout way, and the commission has ordered the Sichuan Army Pan Wenhua to go out of southern Sichuan, and press to the front line of Chishui, Tongzi, and Zheng'an by separate routes, and my 100,000 reinforcements will advance to Yuqing from Liping, Jianhe, Huangping, and Shi Bing to block the south bank of the Wujiang River. After our troops rest, we can pursue eastward and serve as a backup for you and Sun Du. Several armies besieged on all sides, squeezing the red bandits in the Zunyi area of northern Qianbei and annihilating them all in one fell swoop. ”

After Xue Yue finished speaking, he swung his right hand hard, as if this stroke could smash the red bandits.

At this time, Wang Jialie was no longer the Wang Jialie when he first met Xue Yue two days ago, Wang Jialie at that time saw Xue Yue as if he saw Ganlin, although he was worried that Xue Yue would annex himself in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's will, but generally speaking, he greeted Xue Yue with the mentality of looking forward to reinforcements. In just two days, Wang Jialie's eyes were very different when he looked at Xue Yue again. In his opinion, Xue Yue is purely a big-tailed wolf, what kind of famous general demeanor is pretending, what kind of atmosphere is blowing, is it not that the red bandits are almost wiped out? If only Lao Tzu listened to you. Lead the army to the north, and you will either be wiped out by the red bandits or you will eat even the bones and dregs.

Thinking about it, Wang Jialie still said that Chief Xue was wise, and according to such a deployment, it was just around the corner to exterminate the red bandits.

Xue Yue listened to what Wang Jialie said very sincerely, and the sycophants were also in place, so he thought that maybe he had too much heart, this Wang Da might really be as the commission said, the essence is not bad, but he was provoked by others to disobey the orders of the central government. In this case, you have to forgive people and spare people, anyway, you have already occupied Guiyang, and you can't forgive him to heaven. Just as he was about to say that Brother Lao Shaowu urged the troops to go north quickly, he heard Wang Jialie speak again:

"However, the chief's headquarters has been working hard from afar, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for a few days. On the Yunnan side, Sun Du has only one division, and our 25 th Army can dispatch only eight regiments. ”

As soon as Xue Yue heard this, he was angry in his heart, and he still wanted to stop moving around, what to do! Don't worry, let him finish his words and see what kind of medicine is in his gourd? He asked, "What does Brother Shaowu mean?" ”

Wang Jialie looked at Xue Yue, and seeing that Xue Yue was not shocked or angry, he cautiously tentatively said: "Is it possible to let the troops left behind in Guiyang move with the main force and strengthen the strength of our troops?" ”

Xue Yue was furious in his heart, damn, just now I was thinking about letting you go for the time being, let you lead the troops to suppress the bandits, save some strength, and when you are entrusted with the seat to dispose of you in the future, you will also have a little capital to negotiate the price, and get a more affordable seat to sit on. I didn't think of giving a shame, going around and around, and the two regiments that asked Lao Tzu for you came. I don't know what the hell is going on behind it? In this case, don't blame my surname Xue for turning his face and not recognizing people, let you see Lao Tzu's methods!

With a certain plan in his heart, Xue Yue's face was like a spring breeze, and while asking the orderlies to serve tea to Wang Jialie, he said with a smile: "Brother Shaowu's worries are also reasonable, the red bandits are indeed cunning, and there is no big difference in being careful." In this way, Brother Shao Wu ran all the way, saddled his horse and tired, first go back to the mansion to rest, and then lead the army to set off tomorrow morning. Cracking down on bandits is the top priority of the party and the state, and we must not be careless. If you don't obey the order, the commission will be investigated, the princes on Brother Shaowu's side, with broad shoulders, brother, I don't have your face, and I can't afford to be guilty. As for the left-behind troops you mentioned, they were originally soldiers of your 25th Army, and Brother Shao Wu wanted to lead them to the front line and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so I naturally fully agreed. Come, drink tea. This is the Tieguanyin I brought from Fujian, Brother Shao Wu tasted it to see if there was any difference with Guizhou tea. ”

Where did Wang Jialie know that Xue Yue was determined, and thought that the strong dragon would not suppress the head snake on the ground, and he succeeded in his own trial, Xue Yue did not immediately solve his own preparations, it may be that the losses in the battle of Qingxi Town and Yangping Town were too great, and he was hungry and did not choose food, so he took his two regiments and the militia group as a supplement. After thinking about it thoroughly, his heart was also relieved, Wang Jialie asked some about the customs of Xue Yue's hometown while drinking tea, and for a while, the vigilance between the two people disappeared, just like a pair of old friends chatting over tea.

The guests and hosts parted happily.

Wang Jialie returned home and said to Mrs. Wan, Mrs. Wan also felt that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Xue Yue to turn his face so quickly, but the behavior of winning over and dividing the Qian army was really shameful and too deceitful. If you have a chance in the future, you must take revenge on Xue Yue, and you will hate Xue Jin. As for the two regiments and the militia group, Xue Yue added that it was difficult to spit out the meat that had been eaten in his mouth. Forget it, don't worry about him, tomorrow I will take my own descendant regiment and return to the Wujiang River as soon as possible, nothing is important to grasp the troops.

Early the next morning, Wang Jialie got up, and Mrs. Wan was ready to stop and wanted to go to the front line with Wang Jialie.

Without waiting for Wang Jialie to give the order to set off, the commander of the regiment he brought back ran in in a panic to report that the troops were over.

When Wang Jialie heard this, he was puzzled, and hurriedly asked what army was finished?

The head of the regiment said: "Report to Chairman Wang, my regiment is all over, and there are only more than 200 smokers left of the 2,000 or so people." ”

What about the others?

The head of the regiment said: "Report to Chairman Wang, when the lights were blown out last night, everyone was still there. When I got up in the morning, I was afraid that Chairman Wang would leave early, so I ordered the troops to prepare. Who knows, at first glance, there is no one left in the troops. I asked, and the smoker soldiers who stayed behind said that the 90th Division of the Central Army quietly surrounded the barracks last night, eliminated the smokers, and brought the rest to the Central Army. ”

Wang Jialie was so angry that he scolded: "Xue Yue, this bastard, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, he eats meat and doesn't spit out bones." This is to put Lao Tzu to death! ”

The head of the regiment asked, "Chairman Wang, what should we do now?" ”

Wang Jialie gritted his teeth and said: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Go, go back to the troops, it's too late to be late. ”

It's really too late. Without waiting for Wang Jialie to lead his wife to run away, Ou Zhen, the commander of the 90th Division, led the soldiers to the door.

Ou Zhen is in a very good mood right now. As soon as Wang Jialie left Guiyang, Commander Xue ordered Liang Huasheng's 92nd Division to enter the city to assist the 90th Division in arranging defenses. As soon as the 92nd Division entered the city, Chief Xue ordered to do it himself and supplement the troops with Wang Jialie's two regiments and soldiers from the militia regiment and the security regiment. Not to mention, this trick really fucking works, and soon, he will complete his ninety divisions. Liang Huasheng saw that his 90th Division was fully replenished, and he could still bear it, and he also began to act, and Wang Jialie's teaching team, military academy, militia group, security regiment, and police, as long as they did not smoke heavily and were in good health, they were all pulled away, and as a result, some of them were also replenished. Commander Xue was worried about how to replenish the 13th Division and the Huiji Detachment, which had suffered heavy losses, and Wang Jialie came back with a regiment. When Chief Xue and Wang Jialie were negotiating, Hui Ji and Wan Yaohuang both called themselves, and no matter what, they wanted Chief Xue to leave Wang Jialie's group behind and supplement them. Before he could tell Chief Xue, Chief Xue had already made a decision, and last night, he ate Wang Jialie's regiment on the order of Chief Xue, leaving only about 200 smokers for Wang Da. Just thinking about it, I feel that this thing is really fucking beautiful, and it won't be long before my troops can regain their combat effectiveness!

Ou Zhen, who was in a very good mood, was ordered to invite Wang Jialie, and naturally he would not let Wang Jialie slip away from his hands, and he had already surrounded the Wang Mansion. Waiting for Wang Jialie's head to go in to report, Ou Zhen followed into Wang's house with his back foot.

As soon as Wang Jialie saw Ou Zhen coming in, he knew that he couldn't leave. Since you have won the annihilation scheme, you must lose a little bit if you lose. said to Ou Zhen: "Master Ou came to visit Wang so early, I dare not be ashamed!" ”

Ou Zhen also smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb Chairman Wang so early!" On the order of Chief Xue, he asked Chairman Wang to go to the Commander's Department to discuss the military situation, and asked Chairman Wang to move. The lowly duty is responsible for keeping you and your family safe. ”

Wang Jialie smiled and asked, "It won't be gone forever, right?" ”

Ou Zhen hurriedly said: "Chairman Wang is laughing, you are the chairman of Guizhou Province, the commander of the 25th Army, and an important member of the party-state, who dares to do anything to you?" You can rest assured that it is definitely a discussion of the military situation, and there are no other problems. ”

Only then did Wang Jialie tell Mrs. Wan to wait at home, and he went with Ou Zhen to see Xue Yue.

When he arrived at Xue Yue's headquarters, without waiting for Wang Jialie to speak, Xue Yue said: "Brother Shaowu, the situation in Guizhou is erosive, the red bandits swept through the southeast of Guizhou, and occupied Zunyi, a famous city in northern Guizhou, and the whole country was shaken. The Nationalist Political Axe and the Military Council sent a telegram ordering you to be dismissed from your posts as chairman of Guizhou Province and commander of the 25 th Army, transferred to the senior senator of the Military Commission, go back to clean up, and go to Nanjing to take up your post. A plane will come to pick you up today. ”

After speaking, Xue Yue threw the electric order in front of Wang Jialie.

Although he had already made a thousand plans and preparations in his heart, when Xue Yue finished speaking, Wang Jialie still stumbled and almost fell.

After receiving the electric order, Wang Jialie didn't even look at it, and now he is a fish on the case and a meat on the anvil, what is the use of looking at the electric order? blame himself for underestimating Lao Jiang's methods, if only he listened to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. It's too late to say anything now, I can't imagine that I have made a scheming and ruthless move, and finally sat on the throne of the king of Guizhou, so quickly let Xue Yue get rid of him. It's amazing, it's still Lao Jiang who is powerful, he even ignores the red bandits and takes himself first, this guts, this means, is much more powerful than the fucking bandits who kill people and oversell goods. Forget it, accept your fate, Xue Yue dares to do this, I am afraid that the main force of Gancheng has fallen into Xue Yue's hub, and he is either bought or disarmed, and it is estimated that the surname of the person who is bought is relatively large.

Thinking of this, Wang Jialie was not verbose, bowed his hand to Xue Yue, and said: "General Xue, the merits of the right and wrong have their own judgment, I am waiting at home, please inform me when the plane arrives, I will report to Nanjing." After speaking, he didn't look back, and walked out of Xue Yue's headquarters with his head held high.

Xue Yue couldn't imagine that Wang Jialie would be such a bachelor, so he felt a little apologetic, and chased after Wang Jialie and said, "Brother Shaowu, I'm sorry, military affairs are not something that brothers can arbitrary. Although you can rest assured that you will take up your post in Nanjing, I will take care of everything at home. If there's anything you can't handle, you can tell me and I'll try to help you deal with it. ”

Wang Jialie's mood had eased at this time, and he knew that he couldn't offend Xue Yue by saying cruel words at this time, after all, everything he had was in the hands of others, so he said: "Thank you General Xue for your kindness." When I went to Nanjing, it was also my blessing to be able to listen to the teachings of the commission in person. General Lao took care of the affairs of the family. Thank you! ”

Xue Yue said: "Brother Shaowu is serious, you and I are both revolutionary soldiers, and we are comrades-in-arms, so we should take care of each other." You're welcome. ”

After Wang Jialie left, Xue Yue sent a telegram to Nanjing, asking for a plane to be sent to pick up Wang Jialie as soon as possible, and ordered Ou Zhen to strictly protect Wang Jialie to prevent Wang Jialie from slipping away. Then he ordered Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan to step up their work and complete the task of reorganizing the remaining troops of Wang Jialie's department as soon as possible.

It turned out that after Wang Jialie left Xue Yue's headquarters yesterday, Xue Yue sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, secretly reporting that Wang Jialie's troops were afraid of the enemy like a tiger and were hesitant, saying that Wang Jialie and his troops were already under control, and that a good opportunity to resolve the political situation in Guizhou should not be missed. After receiving the report, Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate at all, directly ordered Xue Yue to take action, and appointed Xue Yue as the director of the Guizhou Pacification Office to take charge of the suppression of bandits in Guizhou.

After Xue Yue received the order, he ordered Ou Zhen's 90th Division to solve the armament of a regiment brought back to Guiyang by Wang Jialie, and directly incorporated it into the first detachment of Huiji. Ordered Liang Huasheng's 92nd Division to quickly leave the city and put it under the command of Wu Qiwei, and cooperate with Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan to quickly surround Wang Jialie's troops left by the Wujiang River, and then Wu Qiwei was responsible for reorganizing the Guizhou army. The division commander who first accepted the reorganization was given 50,000 yuan, and the division commander who accepted the reorganization later was given 30,000 yuan. If you dare to disobey orders, disarm them on the spot.

Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan acted quickly, and sent back a report early in the morning, Wang Jialie's two division commanders, He Zhizhong and Bai Huizhang, agreed to be reorganized into the Central Army, and there was no armed conflict, and it seems that the generals of the Guizhou Army welcomed the reorganization of the Central Committee, and the two division commanders only needed 30,000 yuan each.

Xue Yue received the news of great joy and ordered Ou Zhen to invite Wang Jialie to discuss the matter and have a direct showdown. Unexpectedly, everything went well, for a while, Xue Yue was a little flustered, feeling that these warlords were like this, when the central army was not there, they tried to confront the central government, and when the central army arrived, it would soon collapse. In this case, do the warlords in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, and other countries who do not obey the orders of the commission also need to lead their own armies to sort it out? The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and Xue Yue couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Historically, Xue Yue still took a lot of trouble to solve Wang Jialie's problem, first occupying Guiyang, and then coercing Wang Jialie to choose one of the two positions of provincial chairman and commander of the 25th Army, after Wang Jialie was elected to the post of army commander, Xue Yue took the trouble to cut off the military salary of Wang Jialie's troops, bribed He Zhizhong and Bai Huizhang with the ocean, and encouraged the soldiers to make money to Wang Jialie, forcing Wang Jialie to have no way out, and finally let Zhang Xueliang deceive him into the plane and go to Nanjing to serve as a senator. This process is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Due to the butterfly effect caused by Liu Yimin's arrival, Xue Yue's department suffered too much loss and urgently needed to be replenished, and Xue Yue couldn't care about the reaction of other forces in the southwest, and the means became more intense, so Wang Jialie had to be ousted from power in advance.

(To be continued)
