Song Zhewu mentioned at this time that Zhong Jihan was tricked by Yan Xishan, which naturally made Zhong Jihan, who regarded this as a great shame, ashamed.

Although Zhong Jihan's expression was very unnatural, he was still not convinced, but his attitude was not as intense as just now.

"That's Chairman Yan be careful, he is afraid that he will be plotted on the road. Moreover, although Chairman Yan went to the Tianjin Concession, this does not mean that Chairman Yan colluded with him. ”

Song Zhewu didn't mind Zhong Jihan's repeated calls Yan Xishan Chairman Yan, he still has this amount of tolerance, not to mention, now in government affairs, Jia Jingde, who he relies on the most to manage the administrative affairs of the Taihang Administration, Suiyuan, and North and South Mongolia, has always called Yan Xishan like this.

"Yes, if Yan Xishan only lives in the Tianjin Yue Concession, it really can't be said that Yan Xishan and Yue himself have colluded. Although according to the information I have, Yan Xishan has close contacts with the secret service of the Kwantung Army stationed in Tianjin, but after all, there is no real evidence for this. Moreover, there are many former high-ranking military and political officials and dignitaries in the Tianjin concession, and it cannot be said that they all colluded with Yue himself. ”

However, after Yan Xishan's whereabouts were revealed by Ta Kung Pao, the Nanjing Central Political Axe insisted that he go abroad, and Yan Xishan had to leave Tianjin for Dalian in order to take care of his safety, which was different. Not only did the Kwantung Army instruct Yan Xishan to take the passenger liner to protect Yan Xishan closely, but after Yan Xishan arrived in Dalian, it also sent a large number of military police to escort him 24 hours a day. ”

Feng Baolun and Wang Fuheng listened to Song Zhewu's words and showed surprised looks, but Zhong Jihan was still a little unconvinced, and opened his mouth to argue.

Song Zhewu waved his hand to stop Zhong Jihan, and then said: "If you think that these things do not show that Yan Xishan and Yue himself have colluded, then is it enough to explain this problem that I secretly sent Yan Xishan back to Datong by plane this time?" ”

"What? Yan Xishan took this plane back to Datong! ”

Zhong Jihan unknowingly replaced Chairman Yan with Yan Xishan.

Zhong Jihan, who was extremely surprised, completely understood at this time, and the order given to them for this mission was to "shoot down the planes that appeared in this airspace that were not marked by the Central Army and the Northeast Army." This naturally includes the aircraft. In other words, Yan Xishan's decision to take the opportunity to fly back to Datong had already been known to the Nanjing Central Political Axe and Song Zhewu.

The intrusion of a foreign plane into Chinese mainland's airspace is itself a hostile act, not to mention that there is also a wanted criminal on the plane, if this does not show that Yan Xishan and Yue himself have colluded, then it is really impossible to say.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jihan's face gradually turned a little pale.

Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to Song Zhewu, telling Song Zhewu that Yan Xishan wanted to sneak back to Shanxi, although he didn't say much, Song Zhewu could understand that Zhang Xueliang was afraid that after Yan Xishan returned to Shanxi, he would control the Jin Sui army to participate in Shi Yousan's rebellion and make it difficult for him. Zhang Xueliang thought that Song Zhewu must not want Yan Xishan to return to Shanxi, just in case Yan Xishan slipped through the net in Tianjin, he borrowed Song Zhewu's hand to kill Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang of course Song Zhewu understood.

Although Yan Xishan's role in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was very limited, one thing still needs to be certain, that is, with him, the active generals of the Jin Sui Army did not surrender to the Yue army, although Yan Xishan himself has always hooked up with Yue himself, and even secretly negotiated several times.

However, although Yan Xishan flew back to Shanxi on a plane this time, and even the negotiations between him and Yue himself during the Anti-Japanese War, it cannot be explained that Yan Xishan colluded with Yue himself to commit treason.

Although Yan Xishan is far from being called a patriot, he can be surnamed Yan Xishan, when the strength of a certain party is not strong enough to match, he will never bet on the treasure capital, and Yan Xishan, who wants to dance on three eggs, is just using himself at this time.

Now if he wants to kill Yan Xishan, Song Zhewu is not interested, you must know that Yan Xishan has done a lot of practical things for the people of Shanxi for more than 20 years, so that even when the Jin banknote was depreciated, most of the people were scolding Shang Zhen as a scapegoat, and few people mentioned Yan Xishan as the culprit. If he kills Yan Xishan, not to mention that the Jin Suijun will be completely enemies of him, it will also be a big obstacle to winning the hearts and minds of the people of Shanxi.

Also, if there is no Yan Xishan, the Jin Suijun army will completely become a plate of scattered sand, and there will no longer be any force in Shanxi and Suiyuan that can counterbalance him Song Zhewu, which is not a good thing, and it will inevitably make Chairman Jiang find a way to restrain himself early. And if Yan Xishan is here, the Jin Suijun will unite around him and become a force in Shanxi to restrain himself, and the chairman of the committee on the art of checks and balances will be more assured.

In Song Zhewu's view, even Yan Xishan was far safer than those generals of the Jin Sui Army who did not know the height of the sky, and Yan Xishan would never rashly infringe on his Song Zhewu's interests and have a fight with Song Zhewu in Shanxi.

Therefore, for Zhang Xueliang's telegram, Song Zhewu was ready to ignore it.

However, then Chiang Kai-shek's telegram also arrived, and Chiang Kai-shek was not as subtle as Zhang Xueliang, and explicitly asked Song Zhewu to kill Yan Xishan. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also told Song Zhewu that if Yan Xishan was killed, the Jin Sui army would be included in Song Zhewu's department.

Zhang Xueliang and Song Zhewu can be ignored, but for Chiang Kai-shek's order and temptation, it is not something that Song Zhewu can refuse at will, he must carry it out, otherwise if Chiang Kai-shek learns the truth, he will think that he wants to collude with Yan Xishan, and he will also guard against checks and balances, and may even openly support Yan Xishan and himself to compete for the dominance of Shanxi.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Song Zhewu thought that it was not completely impossible to kill Yan Xishan, but it was best not for him Song Zhewu to do it. In the memory of his previous life, Yan Xishan took the opportunity to fly back to his hometown of Hebian Village in Shanxi, so he immediately called Chiang Kai-shek to report that Yan Xishan was likely to fly back to Shanxi by plane.

Chiang Kai-shek, who received the telegram, thought it was reasonable, and immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, Song Zhewu, and Liu Zhi, instructing Zhang Xueliang and Liu Zhi to order the air forces of the Northeast Army and the Central Army to intercept them on the line from Jinzhou to Kaifeng, and Song Zhewu's plane to intercept them on the Shanxi border line, so as to prevent Yan Xishan from slipping through the net.

If you want to intercept Yan Xishan, how can it be so easy?

Although Chiang Kai-shek's interception area was much smaller than that of Zhang Xueliang and Liu Zhi, his Song Zhewu fighter squadron had only one squadron, and it was more than 400 kilometers wide from Datong in the northernmost part of Shanxi to Jincheng in the south.

In the memory of Song Zhewu's previous life, Song Zhewu remembered that Yan Xishan flew back to Hebian Village. However, now that Hebian Village is in the area of the Taihang Administration, that is, under the control of his Song Zhewu, Yan Xishan will never dare to return to Hebian Village.

But if he didn't go back to Riverside Village, where would Yan Xishan go?
