However, Shi Yousan didn't have any good way at this time, and he couldn't do without Zhang Xueliang for the time being. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek was tired of his repeated detachment from the Central Committee, and even saw through that he would never sincerely submit to the central government in Nanjing, and wanted to put him to death as soon as possible. If he didn't have a backer that Chiang Kai-shek would also scruple about, then his life would be sad.

But it's not easy to find such a backer!

His good brother Han Fuyu naturally won't harm him, but Han Fuyu is also under Chiang Kai-shek's hands, and his heels in Shandong have not yet been firm, and his wings are not yet plump, so he still needs to look at Chiang Kai-shek's face and act, which can't help him a lot. Moreover, his eldest brother did not have enough weight in Chiang Kai-shek, and he had his heart and strength to keep him and his troops.

Then there is Song Zhewu in Taiyuan. It's just that although Song Zhewu can save his life, he wants to take away his troops, which is absolutely impossible, this is the root of his life. Moreover, except for Feng Yuxiang and Han Fuyu, he, Shi Yousan, would not be willing to bow down to anyone, not to mention Song Zhewu, even Han Fuyu.

Just when Shi Yousan was thinking about how to break away from Zhang Xueliang and find a strong backer who could protect his safety, in May, Wang Jingwei, Chen Jitang, and Li Zongren organized a separate national political axe in Guangzhou, sent Li Hansoul to Shunde, appointed Shi Yousan as a member of the Central Committee and commander-in-chief of the Fifth Group Army, and asked him to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of Chiang Kai-shek's recent defeat in Jiangxi to go south to Pukou along the Jinpu Road, while Chen Jitang and Li Zongren would attack Wuhan first, and then go down the river to attack Nanjing with him.

Although he would not be so stupid as to dare to take a great risk to pick up Chiang Kai-shek's tiger whiskers again just by virtue of the names of Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren and Chen Jitang, Shi Yousan was very interested in this opportunity.

Shi Yousan is not interested in occupying Nanjing or not, he is interested in how to drive Zhang Xueliang out of the pass, occupy the treasure land of Hebei alone, connect Jin, Hebei, and Lu together, and Jin Suijun, Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying, plus his eldest brother Han Fuyu, and may even include Song Zhewu, relying on each other, indulging in one breath, so that Chiang Kai-shek has no way to take him, and even these local forces in North China have no way, he Shi Yousan can be his king of Hebei in Hebei with peace of mind, and wait until his wings are full, and then it is not too late to wave his army south.

And now is an excellent time, Shi Yousan naturally will not believe that just with Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren, and Chen Jitang, even if he Shi Yousan is added, Chiang Kai-shek can be driven away from Nanjing. You must know that in the just-concluded Central Plains War, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, plus Wang Jingwei and him Li Zongren and a large number of other people were not Chiang Kai-shek's opponents.

However, he did think that Chiang Kai-shek had just made preparations for the third encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and now it was absolutely impossible for him to stop encircling and suppressing the Red Army and turn to Shi Yousan against him. Moreover, Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren, and Chen Jitang made a fuss in Guangzhou, and Chiang Kai-shek hated him and Shi Yousan was in the bone, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at this time.

Shi Yousan knew very well that the reason why Chiang Kai-shek handed over the north to Zhang Xueliang was completely helpless, he just wanted to concentrate his energy and military strength to deal with [***]. Now that he Shi Yousan has made a fall out in the north, Chiang Kai-shek will only stare dryly, and there is nothing he can do with him. By the time Chiang Kai-shek could free his hands, he Shi Yousan had already gained a foothold in Hebei, and by that time, Chiang Kai-shek probably had to pinch his nose and acquiesce to this fact.

At this time, it is also a good opportunity for him Shi Yousan to let go in the north.

Although Zhang Xueliang has 100,000 troops in the pass, he Shi Yousan doesn't care, others can be afraid of him Zhang Xueliang, but he Shi Yousan is not afraid. Don't look at him Shi Yousan only has more than 64,000 people, his troops are the absolute main force of the Northwest Army back then, not to mention the Northeast Army, which has never been stronger in combat effectiveness, even the elite of the 100,000 Central Army, he Shi Yousan also dares to go against them.

The 100,000 so-called elite of the Northeast Army, Shi Yousan absolutely did not pay attention to it, he attached himself to Zhang Xueliang, just to find a protective umbrella, so that Chiang Kai-shek could not organize his troops, and took the opportunity to weaken and annex. As long as his eldest brother Han Fuyu and Song Zhewu, as well as the tens of thousands of remnants of the Northwest Army of Jin Suijun and Song Zheyuan, do not cause him trouble, help him contain the Central Army in Henan, and drive the Northeast Army out of the pass in a short time, he is absolutely sure.

For these forces in the north, Shi Yousan is very sure that none of them will find trouble for themselves. Because, if he, Shi Yousan, drove Zhang Xueliang out of the customs and lost a "mother-in-law" who was in the way, it would be beneficial to everyone.

Needless to say, his eldest brother Han Fuyu is that Song Zhewu and Xu Yongchang are absolutely unhappy about one less Zhang Xueliang who is pointing fingers in Beiping. And Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and others have the same friendship with him, as long as they are promised enough benefits, it is very likely to pull them together.

Sure enough, Zang Bofeng, who was sent to contact the Jin Sui army, brought back good news, although Xu Yongchang and Yang Aiyuan said that they would never interfere in the affairs of Shi Yousan and Zhang Xueliang, but Sun Chu, who was very influential in the Jin Sui army, had already connected many Jin Sui army generals and promised to help Shi Yousan after the army, on the condition that after Zhang Xueliang was driven away, Hebei would have a share of the Jin Sui army. In addition, Sun Dianying also agreed to send troops to respond.

However, to Shi Yousan's surprise, Song Zhewu and Song Zheyuan both clearly objected.

Song Zheyuan said, "The Northwest Army has only the 29th Army left, and he will not let the 29th Army and Shi Yousan mess around, otherwise I'm sorry for Mr. Feng." Song Zheyuan's words almost didn't make Shi Yousan's nose crooked, as if only Song Zheyuan's remnants of the defeated army were from the Northwest Army, and his Shi Yousan's troops were not from the Northwest Army.

However, being angry is angry, he can't turn his face with Song Zheyuan, although Song Zheyuan doesn't do anything with him, but he also hints that he won't embarrass him.

There is one less Twenty-Ninth Army, Shi Yousan doesn't care, as long as he doesn't work against himself.

However, Song Zhewu's attitude surprised Shi Yousan.

Song Zhewu not only reprimanded Zang Bofeng fiercely in person, but also asked Zang Bofeng to tell him Shi Yousan not to hook up with Yue himself, let alone listen to his instigation, otherwise there will be no good end.

Song Zhewu's words really scared Shi Yousan, and how could Song Zhewu know about himself?

It turned out that after Shi Yousan returned to Shunde from Shenyang, he deeply felt that Chiang Kai-shek would not let him go easily, and even Zhang Xueliang's protective umbrella was not necessarily reliable, and nothing was more reliable than having an elite army in his hands, so he ordered Bi Guangheng to go to Tianjin with cash and secretly find foreign foreign companies in Tianjin to buy arms.

Bi Guangheng had a very good agreement with the foreign company in Tianjin, and it did not take much trouble for the other party to agree to sell him the arms, and the two sides agreed to discuss the specific quantity, type, and price the next day.

What Bi Guangheng didn't expect was that the person who met him the next day was not the manager of the foreign company, but a representative of the Kwantung Army who claimed to be Kenji Dohihara, which made Bi Guangheng very strange.

Kenji Dohihara seemed to know Shi Yousan's situation very well, so he didn't go around in circles with Bi Guangheng, but told Bi Guangheng straight to the point that the Kwantung Army was willing to support Shi Yousan to control Hebei, and could also provide him with arms for free, on the condition that Shi Yousan must attack Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army in Hebei before August.

In addition, Tu Feiyuan also told Bi Guangheng and asked him to tell Shi Yousan, "Yan Xishan in Dalian will soon return to Shanxi, Shi Yousan should not give up such a good opportunity." ”

Bi Guangheng didn't know that this person who called himself Kenji Dohihara was the newly appointed head of the Kwantung Army's special service in Tianjin, but someone provided them with arms for free, which was a great thing. However, he couldn't do anything about this matter, so he hurried back to Shunde to report to Shi Yousan.

The Kwantung Army was willing to provide arms to help him start a war with Zhang Xueliang, obviously saying that he wanted to have a plan in the northeast, but this was none of his business Shi Yousan, with the weapons and ammunition provided by him, he could expand his troops and increase his strength, which also happened to achieve his goal of seizing Hebei.

Moreover, since Yan Xishan, who is still wanted by the Nanjing political axe, dares to return to Shanxi, it means that Yan Xishan has also received the support of himself, Yan Xishan has nothing to fear, as long as Yan Xishan goes back, then he will also have the support of the Jin Suijun.

Thinking of this, Shi Yousan immediately asked Bi Guangheng to rush back to Tianjin overnight, agree to all the requests of Kenji Dohihara, and negotiate the time and quantity of weapons as soon as possible.

Because Tianjin was under the control of the Northeast Army, and it was unlikely that Zhang Xueliang would not know about the large-scale smuggling of arms from Tianjin, for the sake of secrecy, the two sides agreed that Tufei had originally given Shi Yousan 5,000 rifles and some ammunition, which would be smuggled back to Shunde by Shi Yousan in three batches, and after Shi Yousan occupied Tianjin, a large number of Shi Yousan's troops would be armed.

But how could Song Zhewu know about this? In addition to himself and Bi Guangheng, who knows about this matter, and then a few of his confidants, who can leak the news?

Thinking about it, except for Bi Guangheng, those henchmen were all brought up by him, they were old brothers who had been together for more than 20 years, these people would never spread the news of their collusion with him, the only suspicious person was Bi Guangheng, Shi Yousan immediately invited Bi Guangheng to ask.

Bi Guangheng is also a native of Changchun, and he was the young master of Shi Yousan when he was an apprentice in the grain store, and it was Bi Guangheng who saw Shi Yousan being excited and promising, so he funded Shi Yousan to study in Changchun Dongguan Longwangmiao Primary School and became a student of Shang Zhen. It is precisely because Shi Yousan has read books that Shi Yousan is valued by Feng Yuxiang, and he was soon promoted and reused by Feng Yuxiang.

After Shi Yousan emerged in the Northwest Army, Bi Guangheng, who also wanted to make a difference, sold his assets and came to follow Shi Yousan, and has been serving as a general counselor here with Shi Yousan.

It can be said that Bi Guangheng has a great favor to Shi Yousan. It's just that Shi You is suspicious for three days, as long as he thinks that someone is obstructing or endangering his interests, then he will no longer care who he is, he will mercilessly kill the killer, and he will never show mercy.

Over the years, Bi Guangheng has known Shi Yousan's personality well, and seeing Shi Yousan's gloomy face, he hurriedly cheered up and dealt with it carefully, afraid that that sentence would anger this ruthless god.

Although Shi Yousan was not easy to say clearly, Bi Guangheng still understood from Shi Yousan's words, Shi Yousan was suspecting that he had leaked Shi Yousan's dealings with him, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, regretting that he had followed the wrong person.

His friend Zang Bofeng told him that Zang Bofeng had met Jia Jingde and Zhao Pilian in Taiyuan, both of whom were now extremely trusted by Song Zhewu.

According to Zang Bofeng, Jia Jingde is now the head of the civil officials under Song Zhewu, and even Xue Dubi has won the position of director of the Suiyuan political department.

Zang Bofeng met with them this time, Jia Jingde didn't say anything, but the outspoken Zhao Pilian directly invited Zang Bofeng to stay in Taiyuan, and even asked Zang Bofeng to tell him Bi Guangheng, saying that once Shi Yousan rebelled, he would definitely lose, and he was ordered by Song Zhewu to invite Bi Guangheng and Zang Bofeng to come to Taiyuan to do things.

Zang Bofeng naturally didn't dare to tell Shi Yousan about this, otherwise with Shi Yousan's suspicious surname, I was afraid that he would kill the two of them if he found an opportunity.

Bi Guangheng didn't care what he thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and carefully excused himself.

"Commander-in-chief, Song Zhewu will never know about our affairs with himself. If Song Zhewu knew the truth, I am afraid that he would have told Zhang Xueliang a long time ago, saying that the 5,000 rifles he gave us would not reach us, and he would be detained by Zhang Xueliang in Tianjin. I guess, this Song Zhewu is from Tianjin, he must have a lot of connections and eyeliner there, maybe I went to Yueben Foreign Bank and was known to them, or maybe I accidentally leaked the news there? Did he suspect that we had something to do with him? ”

Shi Yousan thought about it carefully, Bi Guangheng only met Song Zhewu in Taiyuan before the Central Plains War, how could he have anything to do with Song Zhewu? I'm still a little suspicious.

Shi Yousan couldn't help but regret and doubt Bi Guangheng, so he had to change the topic, and asked a few more casually about his own situation.

Although Shi Yousan no longer mentioned this matter, Bi Guangheng was disheartened by Shi Yousan because of this matter, and the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, so he had to find his friend Zang Bofeng, and the two borrowed wine to kill their sorrows.

Under Zang Bofeng's questioning, Bi Guangheng quietly told Shi Yousan about his suspicion of leaking.

Zang Bofeng had long thought that Shi Yousan was so capricious and not a person who had achieved great things, but this time he hooked up with Yu himself, and sooner or later he would be more auspicious. The two have been friends for many years, so naturally there is no shredging in talking, and there is no need to test each other, the two of them quickly reached a consensus, not to mention the development of Shi Yousan, I am afraid that they will get into trouble, so it is better to change the court as soon as possible, and Song Zhewu is a good candidate.

Although Shi Yousan was still actively preparing to fight back, he was still very worried about Song Zhewu, and if Song Zhewu wanted to deal with him, he couldn't bear it.

However, the person sent to communicate with Han Fuyu brought back good news to Shi Yousan that made Shi Yousan feel at ease.

The person who came back told Shi Yousan that Han Fuyu believed that Song Zhewu would never send troops because Song Zhewu had clearly announced that he would no longer participate in any civil war.

In order to reassure Shi Yousan, Han Fuyu told Shi Yousan about his analysis.

Han Fuyu believes that the reason why Song Zhewu announced in a high-profile manner that he would not participate in the civil war is entirely Song Zhewu's way of taoguang and obscurity, so that Chiang Kai-shek can rest assured that he Song Zhewu will not threaten Chiang Kai-shek's position.

In addition, Han Fuyu believes that Song Zhewu's move will never be so simple, and it is likely that he has another deep meaning in doing so, and there should be some other purpose. But what is the purpose, Han Fuyu can't tell. It's just that based on his feelings, Han Fuyu feels that Song Zhewu has a deeper scheming than people of his age, and he has always been far-sighted in doing things, so he must have other ideas in mind.

However, Han Fuyu can be sure that Song Zhewu will never send troops to attack Shi Yousan, of course, provided that Shi Yousan does not provoke Song Zhewu.

Han Fuyu's analysis completely relieved Shi Yousan.

Just kidding, I, Shi Yousan, have nothing to do to provoke him Song Zhewu? Could it be that I really want to pay attention to Shanxi? I, Shi Yousan, no one in my eyes, I won't be stupid enough to go to Shanxi to compete with Song Zhewu, if I really go to Shanxi and Song Zhewu to fight hard, it will be in the hands of the Jin Suijun, no matter who has the upper hand between him and Song Zhewu, the Jin Suijun will take advantage of the chaos, and maybe they will all be driven out of Shanxi.

Shi Yousan made up his mind to use Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren, and Chen Jitang to contain the Central Army in the south, and he himself taught Zhang Xueliang a hard lesson in Hebei. Therefore, he insisted that Li Zongren and Chen Jitang launch first, contain the Central Army, and wait for him to defeat the Northeast Army's troops in Guannei before moving south.

Song Zhewu has always been very vigilant about Shi Yousan's rebellion, this is not that Song Zhewu is worried that Shi Yousan will attack Shanxi, on the contrary, Song Zhewu really wants Shi Yousan to attack Shanxi, it is best to attack the Taiyuan Administration, so that he can annihilate Shi Yousan and his troops in one fell swoop, and Zhang Xueliang will no longer need to mobilize heavy troops from the northeast to enter the customs.

Song Zhewu's memories of his previous life told him that it was his secret support and instigation of Shi Yousan to launch an anti-Zhang rebellion in Hebei that made Zhang Xueliang have to transfer troops into the pass to quell the rebellion, and gave the Kwantung Army the opportunity to dare to launch the 918 Incident.

In fact, at this time, there were obvious signs that the army was going to take military action in the northeast.

Since the beginning of the year, the Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China has conducted frequent military exercises, and senior staff officers of the Kwantung Army and senior officials of the South Manchurian Railway have held weekly secret meetings.

In addition, in April, the Kwantung Army secretly arranged for more than 180 Korean immigrants to build a dam on the Yitong River in Wanbaoshan to intercept the flow and dig a canal to open up paddy fields without the permission of the Changchun County government. Digging ditches encroaches on local farmers' farmland, and when the flow is intercepted, it will flood nearby fertile land.

The local county magistrate sent someone to persuade him. However, the consulate in Changchun sent police in early June to encourage North Korean immigrants to resume construction. In early July, local Chinese farmers clashed with the police when they tried to level the canal and destroy the dam. It was only after the Chinese police tried their best to persuade them to stop the clashes. Fortunately, neither side was injured in the clashes. Immediately, the Kwantung Army sent 20 gendarmes and 60 policemen, armed with machine guns and infantry guns, to the scene of Wanbaoshan and forbade Chinese to pass within five miles. The North Korean immigrants were escorted by the armed forces of the Republic of Korea and completed the opening of water on July 11.

He took advantage of this incident to deliberately create an incident and fabricated in the newspapers under his control that many Koreans had been killed and that the authorities in Northeast China had ordered the expulsion of Korean nationals, thus causing an anti-Chinese riot in North Korea, in which more than 500 overseas Chinese (119 were killed and 2,000 (395 were injured......
