Then the crowd discussed some details, which can be regarded as a rough determination of the military action plan.

Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang did not care about the leakage of this military action plan, in their opinion, with their existing overwhelming military strength, there was no need to play any tricks with Chiang Kai-shek, as long as the million army pressed over, there would be almost no suspense, and the Central Army could only be defeated.

After roughly agreeing on military matters, it is also necessary to express politically, not only Chen Gongbo, Xie Zhi, and other literati, but also Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang also pay attention to public opinion, although because the anti-Chiang coalition forces are not yet ready militarily, they cannot clearly declare their opposition to Chiang, but they can publish a text criticizing Chiang Kai-shek, and it is still very necessary to do a good job of public opinion propaganda for the anti-Chiang Kai-shek first.

Chen Gongbo has always been very conceited about his Wencai, and he has a feeling that he has been marginalized by these Qiu Eight soldiers and rich people, so he really wants to show his hand in this manuscript to earn some points for himself and Wang Jingwei. Unexpectedly, Yan Xishan smiled at Chen Gongbo, who was eager to try, and said: "Meng has prepared a telegram for Chiang Kai-shek, let's see if it is feasible?" ”

Yan Xishan, who had already prepared, gestured to Jia Jingde behind him with his eyes, and Jia Jingde immediately got up and took out a manuscript from his purse and began to read it to everyone.

"Commander-in-Chief Chiang of Nanjing: China is in danger, has reached the extreme, stealing the importance of Junzuo entrusted by the former prime minister, difficult to build, complete the party-state, still regain perseverance, and strive to organize the army, party affairs, in order to build the foundation of the party-state for 10,000 years, and then retire successfully. Xishan is a decayed body, and he is still trying to invigorate and help Junzuo, and the meaning of the district is also here. The disputes within the party intensified, the panic among the soldiers increased, and the opportunities for those who sow discord increased. In addition, the suffering of the people is increasing, and the resentment of the soldiers is accumulated, if it is followed by soldiers, it is not easy to show the love of the party and the country of the special Jun Zuo, but it makes the people of the country not understand the true intention of the Jun Throne, and the suspicion is reborn. They are all members of the Communist Party of China, and they are all believers in our prime minister. If the army is uneasy, what will the force do? The party has been shattered, how will the party-state be complete? Xishan, with the entire party and the unified country, is willing to be the hope of the former prime minister in the spirit of heaven, that is, the one who does not dare to lose the fist of Junzuo and Xishan. With the spirit of Chinese and Western cultures, our premier created the supreme principle of the three peoples and five rights, which has set a precedent for the world. Unfortunately, Guangdong and Shanghai are split, the three are opposed, the theory is at one end, and the disaster is endlessly searched. For the sake of today's plan, comity is for the country, and there is no reason to give it up. Xishan is willing to follow Junzuo and rest together, the party is to decide the party members and complete the entire party. Since then, the Party has been engaged in state affairs and has fully implemented the Party's resolutions. If there are any arrogant soldiers who disobey the orders of the state, Jun Zuo is still responsible for correcting them in his capacity as the father of the party and the state. Xishan is not sensitive, and after stealing the wish to follow Junzuo, the effect is slightly weak. There are especially those who have advanced in Xishan: Since the previous incident in the northwest, Xishan thought to himself that he could not solve the suffering of hunger and cold in the Northwest Army, and he could not break the covenant, and he could not eliminate the disaster of the army for the country, and he was ashamed of his duty. Wandering at night, there is no way to explain yourself. He has twice sent someone to buy a ferry ticket, intending to leave the country and travel to reduce his sorrow, but he has not been able to bear to go away so far. Today, Xishan is confirmed to be a reunification by force, which is not particularly difficult to succeed, and it is not suitable for use under the rule of the Ming Boiling Party. Xishan decided to go into the wilderness, in order to achieve the original intention, he really did not dare to bear the lonely Jun seat, resulting in a negative Jun seat. And comity is for the country, for the inherent spirit of the yellow nation, responsible for the opposition, is the only way to save the country. Junzuo gives way to the whole country with benevolence, and it can also lead the road of comity to hundreds of millions of people across the country. Since then, the painstaking work of Junzuo can be revealed to the world, and Xishan has been attached to the tail of the horse, and it is also honorable. ”

In this telegram, Yan Xishan first put forward an anti-war viewpoint, opposing Chiang Kai-shek's policy of unification by force, pointing out that because of the reorganization of the army, which triggered a crusade against the Gui system and the Northwest Army, 'the panic of the soldiers became worse, and the resentment of the soldiers was accumulated, holding the banner of blue sky and white words, and they were both party troops, and they fought with each other hand-to-hand. ’； Then he accused Chiang Kai-shek of sorting out party affairs and beginning to implement discipline and administration, resulting in the "split of Guangdong and Shanghai, the dissenting of the three alls, the theory of each end of the spectrum, and the search for disasters in disguise." As a result, the Kuomintang members who also followed the training of the three people and five powers were constantly expelled and arrested, and Chiang Kai-shek destroyed all the followers of Sun Yat-sen.

Then, as Chiang Kai-shek said to Yan Xishan in the past, "build the foundation of the party and the state for 10,000 years, and then retire after success." This sentence persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to abide by his promise in the past and do 'courtesy for the country, and there is no reason to give it up.' Rest together on the shoulders'. That is, he Xishan is willing to follow Chiang Kai-shek and retire together. So as to realize what Xishan said, 'the whole party, a unified country.' 'Party affairs and state affairs are decided by the whole party, not by Chiang Kai-shek's words; In the end, he ended with "I really don't dare to bear the lonely Jun seat, and I will lose the Jun seat." For this reason, he said that unless Chiang Kai-shek went into the wilderness, he Yan Xishan would never go into the wilderness.

This telegram can be said to be sharp, pointing to Chiang Kai-shek's key points everywhere. Although it is somewhat unfair and even a little unreasonable to accuse Chiang Kai-shek of doing things of reunification and unifying military and political affairs with the dignity of one country, it is still very effective in confusing the people with it.

Although Yan Xishan sent a telegram in his own name, not in the name of the anti-Jiang people, and there was a suspicion of earning fame and prestige for him personally, everyone really couldn't help but applaud this telegram that could be called a message against Jiang Yuwen!

Out of the habit of literati, Chen Gongbo wanted to know what kind of character the person who wrote such a hearty manuscript was, and while praising loudly, he asked repeatedly: "Okay! Well written! It's just great! Commander-in-Chief Yan, who wrote this telegram? It's really a wonderful pen, a wonderful pen! ”

Regarding everyone's praise, Yan Xishan said proudly: "To be praised by a great talent like Gongbo, Meng Ke wants to thank you." ”

Yan Xishan turned to the side slightly, pointed at Jia Jingde and said, "This power is made by my Jinshi Secretary-General and Jia Yuru. ”

Not only Feng Yuxiang, but also the representatives of the "heroes from all walks of life" who came to Taiyuan were very excited, they had been in Taiyuan for too long, the longest had been more than three months, and it was about to be the New Year, but the "backstage bosses" they represented just didn't let them go back, and now they could all go back with confidence.

The meeting did not disperse until midnight, and after the meeting, because Yan Xishan absolutely abruptly threw out this rough battle plan, which surprised the generals of the Jin Sui army, because no one had heard a little wind in advance, so except for Fu Zuoyi, Li Shengda, and Li Fuying, who had returned to the army in advance for various reasons, these people who stayed in Taiyuan did not leave invariably, and came to the inner north hall in groups of three or five, waiting for Yan Xishan to answer their questions.

After Yan Xishan sent Song Zhewu and Feng Yuxiang away, knowing that none of his generals had left, he stood at the door of the Overseer's Mansion and thought for a while, called out to Jia Jingde, who was also going home, and after whispering a few words, he took Jia Jingde Shi Ran to the Inner North Hall.

At this moment, gathered in the inner north hall were Chief of Staff Gu Renfa, First Army Commander Sun Chu, Second Army Commander Yang Xiaoou, Third Army Commander Wang Jingguo, Sixth Army Commander Yang Yaofang, Seventh Army Commander Guan Fuan and his 19th Division Commander Guo Zongfen, Eighth Army Commander Zhang Huizhao, Ninth Army Commander Feng Pengzhuo and his 25th Division Commander Chu Xichun, as well as First Security Army Commander Feng Yuxi, Second Security Army Commander Yang Chengyuan, Third Security Army Commander Zhou Shilian, Fourth Security Army Commander Qin Shaoguan, Cavalry Commander Zhao Chengshou, Artillery commander Zhou Ying and more than a dozen others.

Yan Xishan, who was in a very good mood, was extremely clear about the mood of these generals under him, and smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down and speak.

The biggest difference between Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang in leading troops is: Feng Yuxiang is good at managing soldiers but not generals, he cares for soldiers very much, and he is very demanding of generals, and the generals of the Northwest Army, including Song Zheyuan, Sun Liangcheng and other generals, are also submissive in front of Feng Yuxiang and dare not be a little presumptuous; Yan Xishan is just the opposite of Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan is a good general but not a good soldier, he highly admires Zeng Guofan's sentence "the world's 'economy' is a way to employ people", so he only pays attention to the cultivation of his subordinate generals, and does not care much about soldiers. Therefore, the senior generals of the Jin Sui Army were very open in front of Yan Xishan, and even sometimes they could argue a few words.

However, this is not to say that the generals of the Jin Sui Army are not afraid of Yan Xishan, these generals are very aware of the methods used by Yan Xishan to the generals who are dissatisfied with him, and the generals who are dissatisfied with him will never be angry and reprimanded in person like Feng Yuxiang, but slowly deal with them afterwards with very feminine and spicy means.

Therefore, before Yan Xishan opened his mouth, no one dared to take the lead, and there were only a few people in the Jin Sui army who were qualified to do so, such as Zhao Daiwen, Xu Yongchang, chairman of Hebei Province, and Yang Aiyuan, chairman of Chahar Province.

Yan Xishan smiled and said to the generals, "You are all here for the battle plan that Meng drew up, right?" Meng So's main reason for coming up with this plan is to make those powerful factions prepare as soon as possible, not the final battle plan. However, this plan was also roughly discussed by Meng and Feng Huanzhang on the way back to Taiyuan. We will discuss with you how to implement it in detail. Meng saw that this battle plan would be made by Da'an, the chief of staff, Zaiyang and Jingbo, and then everyone would discuss it. ”

"Meng wants to hear your attitude towards the anti-Chiang matter." Without waiting for everyone to speak, Yan Xishan continued with some sadness: "Now, not only Ci Long and Ci Chen are clearly opposed to Meng and Jiang, but even Chahar's Xingru is also opposed. Xingru thinks: "If you think that it is wrong, you should oppose Chiang, but you can't talk about it in terms of interests." This made Meng very sad. ”

At this time, Yan Xishan's originally smiling face had become gloomy.
