Li Wentian smiled indifferently and said: "Chairman Han, Chief of Staff Li said well just now, 'The Northern Expedition has overthrown the old warlords and the country has achieved reunification. 'I don't want to be a warlord, and I don't want to fight a civil war. Therefore, I will not go to Guanzhong, let alone take the 60th Brigade with me, I will follow you. ”

Li Wentian's words not only surprised Shi Jingting and Li Xingzhong's two regiment commanders who were planted in the 60th Brigade, but also Han Fuyu, Sun Tongxuan, Li Shuchun, and others, and in the impression of all of them, Li Wentian was Shi Jingting's cronies and accomplices, and he would not follow Han Fuyu against Feng Yuxiang no matter what.

Han Fuyu asked suspiciously: "Brigade Commander Li, do you mean to follow me Han Fuyu to the central government?" ”

Li Wentian knew that Han Fuyu had misunderstood, and said calmly: "No, I will not follow Chairman Han to the Central Committee. ”

As soon as Li Wentian's words fell, Wu Huawen took out his pistol and pointed it at Li Wentian, and Han Fuyu's eyes immediately showed a fierce light.

Li Wentian looked at Han Fuyu and said: "Chairman Han, I have promised the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army Song Zhewu at Wushengguan, and I will resign when I return to Shaanxi and go to serve in the Fourth Route Army." The day before yesterday, I had already asked Master Li Xingzhong to resign, and he asked me to think about it again, and he also had to go to say hello to Mr. Feng. However, now that Chairman Han has returned to the 20th Division, I will resign from Chairman Han, and this will not be regarded as my Li Wentian saying goodbye. ”

Li Wentian's words made Han Fuyu stunned for a long time, not for anything else, he just felt that Song Zhewu was too powerful, he would never have had any contact with Li Wentian before, but he was disarmed by Song Zhewu's Fourth Route Army at Wusheng Pass. But that time was very short, even if it was full, it was only more than three hours, and this also removed the time used by Song Zhewu to arrange various other matters, and the remaining time to contact Li Wentian was only more than an hour......

Taken aback for a while, Han Fuyu was relieved when he thought about it, he had experienced such a thing, on the car to Hankou, he had been persuaded by Song Zhewu, he knew this Song Zhewu's ability. But there is another thing that he admires Song Zhewu even more, that is, he can see at a glance that this Li Wentian is a talent.

Since Li Wentian was placed by Shi Jingting in his 20th Division, Han Fuyu naturally "cared very much" about him, and after many understandings, he felt that this Li Wentian was worthy of being a graduate of the sixth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, and his military ability was very high, if it was his Han Fuyu's person, he would also give him at least one brigade commander to do, but unfortunately, this person was his Han Fuyu's sworn enemy Shi Jingting's person. Now that Song Zhewu pulls him over, he will definitely be reused, and he will not just give Li Wentian a brigade commander. In that case, this person is not something that can be offended casually.

Han Fuyu put on a smile on his face, stepped forward and grabbed Li Wentian's hand, and said affectionately: "Brother Canxuan (Li Wentian's name Canxuan), you really have a good vision, if you invest in Wenge, Wenge will never treat you badly, but it's a pity, my Han Fuyu's temple here is small, and I can't keep the great talent of Brother Canxuan!" ”

Han Fuyu changed his words and said: "However, now is a special period, and Han has something to discuss with his brother. ”

Since Li Wentian has decided to leave the Northwest Army, whether it is Han Fuyu and Feng Yuxiang, Shi Jingting and Li Xingzhong, their grievances and grievances have nothing to do with him Li Wentian, so naturally there is nothing worth him and Han Fuyu to do. At the moment, he smiled and said: "Master Han is polite, Wen Tian is still your subordinate, what does Chairman Han command, Wen Tian will obey everything." ”

Li Wentian's words made Han Fuyu very excited, which showed that Li Wentian had recognized him Han Fuyu was still the commander of the 20th Division, and in the 20th Division, the last obstacle to his seizure of power had disappeared.

Han Fuyu happily said loudly: "Okay! Since this is the case, Han Mou said bluntly, Canxuan, I have a good relationship with Wen Ge, the reason why he stayed in Zhengzhou this time is at my request, that is, to wait to answer me Han Fuyu, as soon as I see Wen Ge, I will hand you over to him. ”

Han Fuyu's words, Li Wentian didn't feel anything, and the others somewhat admired Han Fuyu, and quietly brought in such a powerful reinforcement.

Han Fuyu continued: "However, you can't take the Sixty Brigade away, it's my brother's old army." ”

When Li Wentian heard that this was the case, he said with a smile: "Commander Han, this is natural, Commander-in-Chief Song only needs me alone, and he does not want this sixty brigade, otherwise he can do it at Wushengguan." ”

Han Fuyu put his mind at ease and said, "That is, Wen Ge has more than 200,000 elite soldiers under him, so naturally he will not look down on the thousands of people of Lao Han." There is one more thing to ask Brother Canxuan for forgiveness, that is, before meeting Wen Ge, Canxuan will hand over the commander of the 60th Brigade and your weapons, and during this time, you will follow me, you see if you can. ”

Han Fuyu's request, Li Wentian felt that it was normal, even if he was Han Fuyu, he would do this. The position of brigade commander must be handed over, and it is not too much for him to hand over his weapons, who dares to guarantee that he Li Wentian is not a hypocrisy, and he will not be able to beat Han Fuyu's black gun. And this is to give Song Zhewu face, otherwise it would be strange if he didn't lock himself up. Li Wentian nodded, untied the pistol on his waist, and handed it to Wu Huawen beside Han Fuyu.

Han Fuyu turned to the two regiment commanders behind Li Wentian, one of the two regiment commanders was called Guo Dazhang, who was brought by Li Xingzhong, and the other was Zheng Yan, although Shi Jingting inserted it, but he was Li Wentian's subordinate when he was the director of Li Wentian's Luanhe Arsenal before, so he was also Li Wentian's person.

Zheng Yan knew that if he opposed Han Fuyu today, not only would his head be unsafe, but it would also be useless, but he was also unwilling to follow Han Fuyu to join Lao Jiang, and he felt sorry for Shi Jingting, who had cultivated him. Seeing that Li Wentian was going to join Song Zhewu's Fourth Route Army, he immediately said: "Division Commander Han, I will go with Brigade Commander Li." After speaking, he took the initiative to untie the pistol and handed it to Wu Huawen.

Guo Dazhang was picked up by Li Xingzhong, Li Xingzhong was not in the army, and the 20th Division was taken away by Han Fuyu, so he felt sorry for Li Xingzhong. However, he was alone, although he didn't dare to say anything, but he always felt that it was not good to see Li Xingzhong again when he handed over the troops like this, and he was hesitating. I heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Deputy Division Commander Sun, Deputy Division Commander Sun, the troops are about to withdraw to Guanzhong, why haven't you received an order?" ”

With the voice, a person pushed the door in, and it was Li Xingzhong.

It turned out that no one else dared to raise objections to Han Fuyu's big trouble, so the meeting lasted for more than an hour after detailed military deployment. The meeting was dismissed, because the 20th Division was going to withdraw to Guanzhong, and Li Xingzhong did not delay much in Huayin, and rushed back immediately. Although he was anxious, he didn't expect that someone would hit the attention of his 20th Division, so he came back much later than Han Fuyu, and saw that none of the troops of the 20th Division drove away at the station, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, and when he asked, he knew that it was Sun Tongxuan's order, "The troops stop evacuating and stay put." Only then did he hurriedly rush back to Gantang's division headquarters.

As soon as he entered the division headquarters, Li Xingzhong couldn't help but be stunned, not only were the commanders of the various brigades there, but Han Fuyu was also there, and asked Han Fuyu in surprise: "Chairman Han, what are you doing when you don't come to Shaanzhou from Huayin?" ”

Li Xingzhong rushed back so quickly, which made Han Fuyu a little surprised, I don't know if it was Li Xingzhong who came back alone, he felt a little uneasy, glanced at Sun Tongxuan, Sun Tongxuan ignored Li Xingzhong and walked out of the division headquarters quickly.

At this time, Li Xingzhong had already understood what was happening, and he couldn't help but turn red, and said to Han Fuyu: "Chairman Han, Mr. Feng is your benefactor and mine!" He beat us and scolded us, don't be childish! ”

Seeing Han Fuyu's cold face, he knew that it was probably useless to say what Han Fuyu was saying, so he said loudly to the brigade commanders in the house: "Mr. Feng is not thin with you, without Mr. Feng, many of you are probably still farming at home, we can't do anything to be sorry for Mr. Feng!" ”

Although these brigade commanders have made up their minds to go with Han Fuyu, they all feel a little sorry for Feng Yuxiang for doing this, everyone looks at me and I see that you are silent.

Seeing this, Han Fuyu pushed Wu Huawen away from him, walked in front of Li Xingzhong, and said coldly: "Shipu, let's tell you the truth, Feng Yuxiang is bent on going his own way, supporting the army and self-respect, fighting against the central government, and the warlords, I, Han Fuyu, will not follow him anymore, and I will not watch my brother go with him." Therefore, I am here today to take my brothers to vote for the Central Committee and for Chairman Chiang. As for your Shipu brother's unwillingness, I am not reluctant, you take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge. Let's not get in anyone's way. ”

Han Fuyu's words made Li Xingzhong completely anxious, and he glared and said, "Chairman Han, these 20 divisions are the troops led by Mr. Feng, but they are not your Han Fuyu's. You can't take these twenty divisions with you, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Mr. Feng. He also shouted to the brigade commanders: "Don't listen to the demagogy of others, go back to the army immediately, and I, Li Xingzhong, will treat it as if nothing happened." ”

"Don't move, you kid has enough to live!" A shout startled everyone, and they all reflexively reached out to touch the gun.

Wu Huawen and Wang Chenghua jumped in front of Han Fuyu from left to right, and shouted: "Don't move, whoever moves will kill whom!" At the same time, Li Xingzhong was also held to the head with a gun by the pistol team members in the room.

Han Fuyu looked in the direction of the shouting, it turned out that Guo Dazhang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pull out a gun, but was forced by Wan Guozhen and Zhanshutang with guns.

Han Fuyu put aside Wu Huawen and Wang Chenghua, and said coldly: "I repeat, I, Han Fuyu, just want to take away Lao Tzu's 20th division, and I don't want to kill anyone!" If something that doesn't have eyes wants to harm Lao Tzu, I, Han Fuyu, don't care about how many more lives I have. ”

The cold gaze swept over everyone one by one, and when he saw Li Xingzhong, what else was he going to say? Han Fuyu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Shao Zhou, Division Commander Li and Regiment Commander Guo are very angry, get off their guns and find a place for them to extinguish the fire first." ”

As soon as Wu Huawen waved his hand, several pistol team members immediately stepped forward, got off the guns of the two, and pushed the two out.

Li Wentian hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Master Han, for everyone's sake, don't harm their surnames." ”

Han Fuyu nodded and said, "Canxuan, rest assured, I, Han, am not so frustrated." ”

At this time, Sun Tongxuan came back and said to Han Fuyu: "Li Xingzhong only came back with his guards, and they have all been disarmed by me. ”

Han Fuyu nodded and said loudly: "Now, I order: Sun Tongxuan is the commander of the 20th Division, and Wan Guozhen is the commander of the 60th Brigade. Wan Guozhen, commander of the 60th Brigade, your unit is the vanguard of the whole army, go to Luoyang first, and after arriving in Luoyang, immediately control the city defense of Luoyang, and all other troops of the Northwest Army must be disarmed, including civilian personnel, and those who do not obey orders will be killed; Xu Guilin, commander of the 59th Brigade, your unit immediately controls all the trains in Shaanzhou, and is ready for us to march east to Luoyang tonight; Xie Huisan, commander of the 58th Brigade, orders you to personally lead the 58th Brigade to block all communications west of Shaanzhou, and to cut off the whole army. You will go back to control the troops in a while, and don't tell the people below that we are going to vote for the Central Committee, just say that we are going to Luoyang under orders, and when we arrive in Luoyang, we will announce this matter. ”

Han Fuyu added: "Also, Shao Zhou is responsible, to detain all the military and political personnel of the Northwest Army in Shaanzhou now, and take them to Luoyang together, if you don't want to go with me Han Fuyu, let them go there." ”

"Division Commander Sun Tongxuan, you immediately led people to secretly deploy the 29th Division at the station, Cheng Xixian should still be in Huayin and did not come back, you called Cao Fulin, deputy commander of the 29th Division, Li Hanzhang, commander of the 85th Brigade, and Qiao Lizhi, commander of the 86th Brigade, and asked them all to come to Gantang, and said that I, Han Fuyu, wanted to see them."

When Han Fuyu was the commander of the Sixth Army and the commander of the First Division, Li Hanzhang was Han Fuyu's adjutant and Qiao Lizhi was the brigade commander. Although Cao Fulin was Han Fuyu's subordinate when he was the head of the regiment in his early years, he had been away from him for a long time, but Han Fuyu believed that Cao Fulin did not dare to have two hearts, otherwise Li Hanzhang and Qiao Lizhi would not agree.

"In addition, Yin Xuan immediately called Shi Yousan, Ma Hongkui, and Pang Bingxun to inform them to get ready, and as soon as our department arrives in Luoyang, we will call Jiang at the same time." Han Fuyu took out a few more passwords from his arms and handed them to Li Shuchun and said: "This is the password for contacting Chairman Jiang and Song Wenge, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, and Yang Hucheng. to contact Shi Yousan, Ma Hongkui, Pang Bingxun, Yang Hucheng, Xi Lichi, etc. to prepare for the central government, and ask him to prepare as soon as possible; telegram to Song Wenge, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, that our unit would immediately march east to Luoyang and ask him to quickly march west to respond; I telegraphed to Yang Hucheng and asked him to leave Huayin immediately and return to the army, and I telegraphed Chairman Jiang that he was concerned about the central authorities and asked him and Xi Lichi to choose an opportunity to start an incident. ”

Han Fuyu's order was not enough, and the telegrams sent by Li Shuchun were not trivial, which made the following officers, including Li Shuchun, Sun Tongxuan, and Li Wentian, all surprised and admired. What is surprising is that the seemingly powerful Northwest Army has so many generals who have deviated from Germany and want to vote for Chiang Kai-shek, and it is really intolerable for the Northwest Army not to fail; What I admire is that although Han Fuyu is no longer in the army, he still has such a great appeal, and so many people follow him when he raises his arms. There is also a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and Song Zhewu, which was arranged by Han Fuyu without a sound! Everyone has an idea, that is, it should be a good choice to follow Han Fuyu now.

After giving a series of orders, everyone split up and hurried to set up. Han Fuyu sat down on the chair with confidence, let out a long breath, and muttered: "Mr. Feng, it's not that I, Han Fuyu, am sorry for you, it's you Feng Yuxiang who took me Han Fuyu first, if you want to blame you, blame Shi Jingting, that bastard." ”

On the morning of the 22nd, Feng Yuxiang did not go out with the guards for the first time, and he didn't have the heart to do anything now, the 20th and 29th divisions that should have been withdrawn to Tongguan last night had not yet returned, and several divisions in Shaanzhou except for these two divisions, the rest of the troops entered Tongguan yesterday. Not only did these two divisions not have any news, even if they couldn't be contacted by phone, Cheng Xixian, the commander of the 29th Division, who had been sent to Huayin last night, rushed back to Shaanzhou overnight to check what was going on, but when they went, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

Li Xingzhong had already returned to Shaanzhou after the meeting, and Feng Yuxiang was still very relieved that nothing would happen to this subordinate who had been his chief of staff and went to the Soviet Union with him when he was in the most difficult time. But Feng Yuxiang still had a bad premonition in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the crux of the problem for a while. I had something in my heart, so I didn't sleep well all night, and I began to ask about the situation in Shaanzhou early in the morning.

Feng Yuxiang was turning around in the house in a frustrated circle, Shi Jingting ran in in a panic, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Boss, it's not good, Han Fuyu has run away!" ”

Feng Yuxiang frowned, and said unhappily: "Xiaoshan, as a general, Mount Tai will collapse and not change color, you are the chief of staff of our Second Army, how can you be like this!" ”

It turned out that Shi Jingting had waited all night at the staff office and had no news from Shaanzhou, so he could not let go of it, so at about 3 o'clock in the morning, he sent a communications company of the Second Group Army Headquarters with a radio station to Shaanzhou to check on the situation, and told the people in the communications office that they should inform him as soon as there was any news from Shaanzhou. Only then did he return to his residence, and was just about to go to bed and lie down, when he suddenly remembered Han Fuyu again. Thinking of Han Fuyu, Shi Jingting couldn't help but shiver excitedly, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen him since the meeting, and an ominous premonition immediately rose to his heart. Jue couldn't take care of sleeping, and immediately called someone to check Han Fuyu's movements.
