Chongqing's streets are scattered and the lanes are rugged, the houses that stretch are like water, and they are running away, the old hanging buildings with unique styles are creaking in the fierce north wind, the first cold winter rain stirs up a miserable and damp white fog, Yin Yin curls around the whole city, but it can't stop the shouting of "fried rice sugar boiling water" in the streets and alleys of the market, the small teahouse with leisure is not vacant, and the Chongqing people in each teahouse seem to be able to make a situation with three people. Spicy noodles and mixed noodles can be found everywhere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than ten years of war have nurtured the nerves of the already heroic and tenacious Chongqing people, and the rare tranquility that has occurred in the past few months due to the truce of the warlords seems to have brought the whole of Chongqing to vitality again.

Chongqing backwater ditch is not a ditch, but a place name, not far from the school site Liu Mansion is located on this rare two-square-kilometer flat land.

On the chair of the Taishi in the main hall of the Liu Mansion, there was a burly general, his eyes were reserved, his wide lips were closed, and he calmly looked at the more than ten military advisors and generals on the chairs on the left and right sides of the main hall, listening to their speculations and comments on the latest attitude of the central government in Nanjing.

Liu Xiang has a harmonious nickname called "Ba Gecko" because he owned Chongqing, Ba County, Birang and other places at that time, and was named this nickname by the military and civil good deeds, and he also has a nickname called Liu Mangzi" This nickname does not mean that Liu Xiang is reckless, but refers to his courage and courage in the war. In the Protector War, the two armies fought fiercely in Neijiang, at the beginning of the army supporting the Beiyang government was frustrated again and again, the military heart was shaken, at this time as the brigade commander Liu Xiang took the initiative to ask for help, led the troops to counterattack, led the pistol team like a knife into the opponent's camp, the opponent's position was in chaos, the battle turned defeat into victory, Liu Xiang also became famous for this war, was regarded as a strong enemy by the generals of the Protector Dian Army, but was regarded as a tiger general by the Beiyang government, Liu Xiang was also famous for his outstanding achievements in the fight against the Protector Revolutionary Army, and from this trace, step by step became the "Chinese warlord leader". In the civil war of more than ten years of rapid changes, he himself and his armed forces have also changed rapidly, and in the civil war between friends and friends, they have speculated left and right, painstakingly drilled camps, and used strategies such as combining vertical and horizontal, first F and then taking, etc., to defeat one opponent after another and grow rapidly.

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Liu Xiang was keenly aware that the demise of the Beiyang government was just around the corner, and immediately threw away the official titles and black hats awarded by the Beiyang government on his body and head, and loudly attached himself to the revolution, supported the Northern Expedition, and won the military commander awarded by the Nationalist Government and the prominent position of the military government of Sipu Province. Combined with Liu Chengxun, Liu Wenhui, Lai Xinhui, defeated the original old brother Kuo Yang Sen, enough Xihou, Tian Songyao and other departments, the war stopped, Liu Xiang once again and his uncle Liu Wenhui high-profile alliance, eliminate dissidents, and finally cleverly buy the heavy losses of the various forces, secretly dismantle Liu Wenhui's Taiwan, resulting in the entire civil war stopped for three consecutive years, weakening the military forces at the same time their own rapid development, the territory has also doubled, two years ago the territory has been expanded to the north and east of the state, occupied the Yangtze River throat Badong, Yichang, If it weren't for the fact that the Gui family hegemony and the Henan and Shaanxi armies had a fierce battle in western Hubei, Liu Xiang, who was leading the troops in central Sichuan, saw that the situation was not good, and decisively withdrew from western Hubei, and at this moment Western Hubei may still be in his hands.2 Despite this, Liu Xiang still firmly occupied the entire four-"richest vast territory, and together with his uncle Liu Wenhui, he was finally appointed by the central government in Nanjing, and the two were jointly in charge of the "aftermath of the whole Sichuan" four" has since become the world of "two Liu", and the military troubles of the various ministries whose strength has been greatly weakened for many years in the civil war can only rely on the two of them. Struggling to get by.

Since the armistice, Cha Xiang, who has been deeply touched by the civil war for many years, has put forward the slogan, with force as the main backing, and the rule of the enemy as the auxiliary means, to increase army building, and finally unify Sibeikou In order to achieve this lofty goal, Liu Xiang set up a scraping committee, opened an officer school, an education regiment and a research class, sent his henchmen and generals to foreign countries to inspect and observe, absorb risks, purchase weapons, hire senior advisers and solicitations, neutralize the technology of neighboring provinces, increase investment in the construction of arsenals, and gradually make the Chongqing repair institute under his name capable of manufacturing rifles. The ability of pistols, mortars, imitation Czech machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns, and the modification of three shallow-water artillery guns, successively bought back 10 Blegay planes, 4 Baode planes, 4 Morse planes and 2 other planes from Europe and the United States, established an aviation command and appointed himself commander, and hired Na Hanxiang, secretary general of the former Duan Qirui government, as his chief of staff, responsible for the Beijing office and the liaison with the military and broadbands of various provinces.

After more than a year of Ruoxin Exhibition, Liu Xiang has become four. The first overlord in the military broadfield greatly threatened the survival of his uncle Liu Wenhui, and the two uncles and nephews became inseparable and began to prepare for the struggle for power between them.

In this Jinyuan War, Liu Wenhui, who was "known as a Duobao Daoist", finally made a mistake in judgment, vigorously supported Wang Jingwei, Feng Yuxiang, and Yan Xishan's alliance, opposed the central government, and even publicly insulted Chiang Kai-shek himself at major gatherings.

Liu Xiang was overjoyed by this, and secretly made military preparations for "being ordered to crusade against Liu Wenhui and seize his territory to become the sole overlord of the fourth", but after the end of the war, Chiang Kai-shek did not immediately issue an order to crusade against the rebellious Liu Wenhui, and the central government, which was busy with the construction of the three northwestern provinces and the governments of Henan, Jin, Shandong, and Hebei, did not give further punishment to Liu Wenhui, but let Liu Wenhui, who was in a deep predicament, secretly buy his chief of staff, Bang Hanxiang, Through Zhang Qun, a fellow villager in the four norths who was in a high position in the central government, he asked Chiang Kai-shek for forgiveness, and took out a large amount of money to bribe the central officials, in an attempt to re-appoint the central government and rise again to be with Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang was very dissatisfied with this and was also shocked, and sent people to Yichang secretly three times in the past half a month to meet with He Guoguang, the director of the Yichang camp, and the secretary general Zeng Guangqing, but he could not go through the path of Sihe Anyi, the Fifth Army Corps, which had a decisive position in Chiang Kai-shek's heart with 200,000 heavy troops, and the replies he received were all verbal promises that "the central government and the commander-in-chief Chiang have full trust in Liu Xiang and his army, and support Liu Xiang in exercising the great power of the four military and political forces." The situation seems to be getting better and better, which makes Liu Xiang extremely angry, but there is nothing he can do.

Liu Xiang's most feared person is undoubtedly the clan uncle Liu Wenhui, nicknamed "Duobao Daoren" Liu Wenhui is just like his nickname is as rare and tall, Duo Dao people are myths and legends of the characters, which means that the Chang Qi with the vast Shentong and boundless mana, can deal with all kinds of complex situations at will, Liu Wenhui himself is resourceful, with a lot of ideas of ten characters, when he faces strong opponents, he can do a good man does not suffer immediate losses, can be perfunctory, should be confused in the past, so that all the military Kuo said that Liu Wenhui is scheming, there are many patterns, and the changes are manipulating both ends. In the past ten years, Liu Wenhui has been one of the overlords of the servants from the initial fledgling to today's servants, occupying more than 70 counties and Chengdu and other metropolises, which is the result of getting close to Liu Xiang with family blood on the one hand, uniting to make profits, and on the other hand, linking Naxihou and Tian Songjing with the "Baoding classmate relationship" and annexing various forces.

The main hall was full of arguments and tensions, and Liu Xiang's henchmen Qiao Yifu, Zhang Ske and others had different opinions with the military generals Pan Wenhua and Tang Shizun, and the arguments continued.

Liu Xiang slowly raised his hand, and the hall was immediately silent, and Qiao Yifu stood up and said his opinion under Liu Xiang's signal.

The subordinates still adhere to the original intention, in the central government has not clearly announced that Fu Gong (Liu Xiang word Fu Cheng) as "the provincial aftermath of the supervision, do not rush to act, more than ten years in the middle of the Sichuan repeatedly war, all show, promote morality, the division is famous, the most reasonable, although our army has the power to conquer the opponent, but still need to pay attention to the forces of the left and right, must not let the opponent play a horizontal and vertical plan to get a lot of help, otherwise the result is half the effort, the gain outweighs the loss! "Yun Song (Qiao Yifu's words) brother is very wrong! M Pan Wenhua stood up and retorted, "For the generals, what is particular is to seize the opportunity, make a decision immediately, and avoid hesitation and hesitation and miss the opportunity at this time, Liu Ziqian is in a dilemma, and his generals are in a dilemma of drifting and departing from morality, although he has drilled up and down the camp to make up for his mistakes, and has thrown out a lot of money, but he still has not been forgiven by Commander-in-Chief Chiang, nor has he been clearly stated by the central government, but it is difficult to ensure that he cannot make up for his mistakes and get out of the predicament in our resignation, forcing us to consume each other and forgive Liu Ziqian's mistakes with a smooth push, when will our army be able to take the initiative and no longer be constrained by others?

As the saying goes, one can not tolerate two tigers, and it is the right time for Fu Gong to vibrate at this moment, not only to conform to the will of the people, but also to implicitly conform to the established policy of the central government, and must not miss the opportunity to let the opponent sit big again, otherwise the future payment may be countless times greater. ”

As soon as the two of them came out, it once again led to a fierce argument, Liu Xiang listened calmly for more than ten minutes, and finally turned to Liu Congyun, the military master of Xi who had been silent at the bottom left.

Liu Congyun was originally a Jianghu word tester, once founded, Confucius Mengdao, self-proclaimed Taoist master, with three inches of incorruptible tongue to collect more than 10,000 Taoist disciples, make up for many powerful and military troublemakers are its Taoist disciples, Liu Xiang was introduced into the Tao by the window, Liu Congyun gave the Taoist name "Yuxian" Since then, 90% of Liu Xiang's commanders above the battalion level have become Taoists, after several times predicted that Liu Xiang was victorious, Liu Xiang respected him, obeyed his words, and worshiped his disciples as a military teacher, and deliberately selected the best officers and soldiers in the whole army to form a model division" Liu Congyun, the commander of Xi Junshi, was appointed as the commander of the lieutenant general.

At this critical juncture when faced with a major choice, where did Liu Xiang, who couldn't make up his mind, still not let his enlightened teacher guide him? But how did Liu Xiang know that in order to restore his political life and win a precious period of preparation for the decisive battle, Liu Wenhui had already secretly bought Liu Congyun and asked him to delay for himself for a while, so as not to let Liu Xiang attack him so quickly.

Liu Congyun slowly opened his eyes, coughed unhurriedly, and the noise in the hall stopped, Liu Congyun turned to Liu Xiang and arched his hand slightly, and said calmly in his extremely touching sermon voice,

"Chiang Kai-shek is not an extraordinary person, when Sun Wen traveled to the north and south of China to agitate for revolution, Chiang Kai-shek was still an unknown little person, just six years to let this person ascend to the temple, which can be divided and bought by means of vertical and horizontal waves, the wonderful god of driving the wolf and the tiger, and avoiding the cruelty of the dead dog, all of which are rare in the world, at this critical period, if there is no clear statement and appointment of Chiang and the central government, the time is not yet ripe! The think tanks immediately echoed loudly, and the generals were really worried about being profited by Chiang Kai-shek's scumbag, and Xi Shi was also afraid of Liu Congyun's status and mana, so he stopped arguing for a while, although Tang Shizun was reluctant to fight a few tiger generals who were eager to fight, but it was also inconvenient to have a dispute with Liu Congyun in person, and they looked at each other one by one, and they all planned to speak to Liu Xiang behind their backs.

Liu Xiang saw that Ji Qing had a preliminary conclusion, so he wanted to dismiss the meeting for the time being, but the intelligence staff officer quietly arrived, and whispered in Liu Xiang's ear,

"Fu Gong, there is news from the eyeliner that we have placed in Liu Ziqian's place, Liu Ziqian's three ships of munitions have been detained by the garrison headquarters in the Yichang River section, and it is said that the three ships are all large-tonnage cargo ships of Germany and the Czech Republic, carrying dozens of new artillery, more than 1,000 Czech light machine guns, more than 300 heavy machine guns, and more than 30,000 German rifles, as well as 5 million bullets and a large number of artillery shells.

Liu Xiang slowly stood up and asked in a low voice, "Is the news true?" Truly! For this reason, Liu Ziqian had a big temper, scolded the foreigners for having no bones, and scolded several henchmen under his command that they should not be transported by German ships and Czech ships, and they had to ask the German Lihe Foreign Bank for an explanation.

His subordinate generals all had sad faces and were very breathless, but they didn't expect that An Yi would not only always oppose the Japanese, but also the Germans and Czechs, who had a good relationship.

Early this morning, Liu Ziqian resigned from the government council attended by leading figures from all walks of life in Chengdu, and rushed from Chengdu to Syria, where he heard that he was going to invite Zhang Hongza, the king of Xiangxi, and entrusted him to intercede with An Yi, commander of the Fifth Army Corps, and promised to pay 30,000 taels of gold and 1,000 quintals of tobacco in a lump sum. The intelligence staff officer replied in the affirmative.

Liu Xiang was slightly surprised, "An Yi's baby is really fucking bold, and his name is well deserved, you immediately go and inform the eighth uncle, send a speedboat to send his old man to Yichang to see Director He, and secretly get in touch with Secretary General Zeng, you must not let An Yi release this batch of arms, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to us, if you can't move, you might as well send 200,000 oceans to Secretary General Zeng, he is An Yi's most respected senior brother, with him to help, An Yi will definitely give face, just push the boat down the river and detain this batch of goods, or postpone the release for a month or two, We will be able to gain greater initiative. ”

Subordinates understand! ”
