Chapter 281: The Great War in the Central Plains Who deceived whom
Song Zhewu clearly said that Feng Yuxiang was under house arrest by Yan Xishan, which not only surprised Zhao Pilian, but also Li Shucheng and Feng Yuxiang's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhao Pilian was surprised that in his opinion, Yan Xishan deceived Feng Yuxiang to Shanxi and then put Feng Yuxiang under house arrest, and the purpose of blackmailing Feng to control the Northwest Army was that even the blind could see that the purpose and means were very disgraceful, and Yan Xishan was also well aware of this, so he was very evasive about the house arrest, insisting that it was to protect Feng Yuxiang's safety. Moreover, Feng Yuxiang himself was also very, very annoyed that he was deceived into coming to Shanxi and being placed under house arrest, Song Zhewu, the person sent by Yan Xishan to persuade Feng Yuxiang, didn't want to know how to justify Yan Xishan, but on the contrary, he bluntly said that Feng Yuxiang was under house arrest by Yan Xishan, isn't this adding fuel to the fire!
What surprised Li Shucheng was that it was Yan Xishan who begged him to go to Shanxi to persuade Feng Yuxiang to come to Shanxi to discuss with Yan Xishan the anti-Jiang plan, but he didn't expect Yan Xishan to break his promise and get fat, and let Feng Yuxiang come to Shanxi to think about controlling the Northwest Army by holding Feng Yuxiang hostage, almost as soon as Feng Yuxiang arrived in Shanxi, he lost his freedom of action and was actually placed under house arrest by Yan Xishan. This made Li Shucheng feel very sorry for Feng Yuxiang, after all, Feng Yuxiang was persuaded by him and resolutely came to Shanxi with him despite the opposition of his subordinates. Therefore, after Li Shucheng found out that Feng Yuxiang was under house arrest in Xihui, he ran to have a big fight with Yan Xishan, and then voluntarily ran to Xihui to accompany Feng Yuxiang to be under house arrest. Of course, it didn't matter if he stayed in Yan Xishan, so Feng Yuxiang knew the news from the outside world clearly.
These days, Li Shucheng is well aware of Feng Yuxiang's thoughts, Feng Yuxiang is very anxious about Yan Xishan's delay in starting to oppose Chiang, and he is also very worried about the internal worries of the Northwest Army and Chiang Kai-shek's step up the reorganization of the Northwest Army, and is worried that there will be a second Han Fuyu in the Northwest Army. Just yesterday, Feng Yuxiang made a big fuss in Xihui, clamoring to go to Taiyuan to find Yan Xishan to discuss the law. But after only one day, Feng Yuxiang made a 180-degree turn, and suddenly he was determined to go to sea.
Li Shucheng thought that Feng Yuxiang was gambling with Yan Xishan, as long as Song Zhewu and Zhao Pilian persuaded him patiently, Feng Yuxiang would agree, and he could return to the Northwest Army logically, and he could also take care of it. But what he didn't expect was that the lobbyist Song Zhewu sent by Yan Xishan turned out to be a two-hundred-and-five, not only did he not want to persuade Feng Yuxiang, but he even used house arrest to stimulate Feng Yuxiang!
And the most surprising thing is Feng Yuxiang, but Feng Yuxiang thinks differently from Zhao Pilian and Li Shucheng, he has been crawling through betrayal and anti-betrayal for more than 30 years, and he is extremely vigilant about treachery. Song Zhewu suddenly admitted that Yan Xishan was putting himself under house arrest, which made Feng Yuxiang think that Yan Xishan had failed to persuade him to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, and did not dare to confront Chiang Kai-shek again, so he had to completely turn to Chiang Kai-shek and give him to Chiang Kai-shek as a "gift".
Feng Yuxiang was shocked by this sudden thought, although he tried his best to hide the panic and uneasiness in his heart, but the hands that were originally comfortably and casually placed on the armrests of the chair still clenched involuntarily.
Feng Yuxiang's changes did not escape Song Zhewu's eyes, and he decided to completely tear off Feng Yuxiang's thousand-year-old resentful disguise.
"Mr. Feng has been under house arrest by Commander-in-Chief Yan since he came to Shanxi, which is true, although it is a little disgraceful, but since he has done it, there is no need to hide it anymore. Presumably, Mr. Feng also guessed that the reason why Commander-in-Chief Yan did this was to control Mr. Feng and then the Northwest Army, and with the important force of the Northwest Army, Chiang Kai-shek would not dare to attack the Jin Sui Army. Although Commander-in-Chief Yan's move is somewhat unscrupulous, the purpose is understandable. Commander-in-Chief Yan was just thinking about the interests of Shanxi and the Jin Sui army. ”
Because of the house arrest of Mr. Feng, Commander-in-Chief Yan was criticized by public opinion in China, and even Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing was afraid that Commander-in-Chief Yan really controlled the Northwest Army, and his strength soared, so he turned the spearhead that was originally aimed at the Northwest Army and pointed the tip of his spear at Commander-in-Chief Yan. The current reality is that Commander-in-Chief Yan, who thought he had a plan, not only failed to control the Northwest Army, but on the contrary, set himself on fire, and it can be said that Commander-in-Chief Yan lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. ”
"Everyone in the world thinks that Commander-in-Chief Yan deceived Mr. Feng, but in fact I think the truth is just the opposite, it was Mr. Feng's clever trick to deceive Commander-in-Chief Yan, so that Chiang Kai-shek regarded Commander-in-Chief Yan as the most dangerous opponent and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Commander-in-Chief Yan has now been forced by Chiang Kai-shek to retreat, and there is no other way but to oppose Chiang by force. ”
Song Zhewu said that Feng Yuxiang deceived Yan Xishan, Li Shucheng and Zhao Pilian both thought that this was Song Zhewu's clever words, and wanted to quibble for Yan Xishan, but they were very disapproving, and even Zhao Pilian was a little worried about Song Zhewu, worried that Song Zhewu was so problematic, it was a literary style and risk, and it was extremely difficult to justify himself.
But what surprised them a little was that after listening to Song Zhewu's strange talk, Feng Yuxiang's round square face suddenly turned red, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly laughed again, and Feng Yuxiang's face quickly returned to normal in the laughter.
"Good! Good! My Lao Feng really opened his eyes today, this really responds to the sentence in "Dream of Red Mansions", pretending to be true and false, doing nothing has nowhere and nowhere to go, I was under house arrest in Shanxi for several months, but I became a liar, and Yan Baichuan deceived me to come to Shanxi on the grounds of anti-Jiang, but I became a bitter master. There is a song in "Yutang Chun", "There are no good people in Hongdong County", I think not only there are no good people in Hongdong County, Shanxi, but there are no good people in the whole Shanxi. ”
Feng Yuxiang's sentence that there are no good people in Shanxi swept Zhao Pilian in, which made Zhao Pilian very embarrassed. However, Zhao Pilian didn't mind very much, he thought that this was Song Zhewu's nonsense, which confused Feng Yuxiang, so he didn't choose to speak.
Song Zhewu didn't think so, he felt that his words hit Feng Yuxiang's vital point, which made Feng Yuxiang a little out of shape.
Song Zhewu took a leisurely puff of his cigarette and said lightly: "Okay, if Mr. Feng doesn't mind, then I'll talk about Zhewu's foolish opinion in front of Mr. Zhiqing and Mr. Xiaoyuan." ”
Feng Yuxiang, who had regained his composure, waved his hand and said in a mocking tone: "Okay, you say, Zhiqing and Xiaoyuan and I really want to hear this foolish opinion of yours." ”
"The purpose determines the motive, let me first talk about the benefits of your house arrest in Shanxi. Last year, because Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan, Yang Hucheng and others defected to Chiang, the vitality of the Northwest Army was greatly damaged, and there was no ability to fight again with the Central Army. This naturally could not be concealed from Chiang Kai-shek, so Chiang Kai-shek insisted that Mr. Feng not only go to the wilderness, but also go to the sea, otherwise he would never stop military operations against the Northwest Army. ”
"And Mr. Feng's going into the field is just a temporary helpless move, just to let the Northwest Army breathe, and it is definitely not a sincere going to the field. After the oath of the Five Plains, the Northwest Army expanded very rapidly, not only Mr. Feng's old troops have been greatly developed, but also incorporated many miscellaneous armed forces, such as Pang Bingxun, Jing Yuexiu, Ma Hongbin, Ma Qi, Ma Lin, Men Zhizhong, Zhao Jingwen, Zhen Shiren, Pei Jianzhun, Zhao Xipin and other departments, if Mr. Feng really wants to go abroad, these troops will be dispersed first, I am afraid that most of them will learn from Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army and Yang Hucheng, and defect to Commander-in-Chief Yan and Chiang Kai-shek. Even Mr. Feng's old troops may not all be absolutely loyal to Mr. Feng, Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan are all promoted by Mr. Feng from the soldiers, and Mr. Feng should know better than me about the means of Chiang Kai-shek's bribery. ”
At the mention of Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan, Feng Yuxiang's face couldn't help but become gloomy again.
"Mr. Feng is the backbone of the Northwest Army, as long as you are in the army, even in any part of the country, the main force of the Northwest Army will not disperse, Mr. Feng should be very clear about this, and of course Chiang Kai-shek is also clear. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek forced Mr. Feng to go abroad in order to facilitate his reorganization and dispersal of the Northwest Army. ”
Song Zhewu continued: "Therefore, it is definitely not possible to go abroad, and the rest is a compromise solution, that is, to leave the provinces controlled by the Northwest Army, so that Chiang Kai-shek can slightly slow down the pace of reorganization of the Northwest Army, and Mr. Feng can wait for the opportunity to oppose Chiang again." But in which province can Mr. Feng's safety be guaranteed? Ordinary places must not work, and the smaller local forces will not be able to withstand the pressure of Nanjing, and I am afraid that a telegram from Nanjing will escort Mr. Feng to Nanjing. There are only two places in the country that have the ability to protect Mr. Feng and withstand the pressure from Nanjing, one is in the northeast and the other is in Shanxi. It's just that no matter who accepts Mr. Feng, whoever will become a thorn in Chiang Kai-shek's side, a thorn in the flesh, and Chiang Kai-shek will want to pull it out quickly. If Commander-in-Chief Yan accepts you, then he can only fight against Chiang with Mr. Feng. ”
Song Zhewu re-lit a cigarette and continued: "Mr. Feng has no relationship with Zhang Hanqing in the Northeast, and he doesn't even have a one-sided relationship, Zhang Hanqing will never accept you, and the only thing left is Commander-in-Chief Yan." Mr. Feng contacted Commander-in-Chief Yan as early as last year to jointly oppose Chiang, but Commander-in-Chief Yan has a good relationship with Nanjing, and he sat back and watched the Northwest Army and the Central Army fight, and did not agree to you. But this time, he was very enthusiastic about Mr. Feng, who had already gone into the wilderness, not only sent his old classmate Mr. Xiaoyuan to Huashan to persuade you, but also sent Jia Jingde to Fenglingdu to greet you. ”
"Mr. Feng started as an ordinary soldier and single-handedly created the strongest Northwest Army in China, which can be said to be unique in the domestic military circles, which shows that Mr. Feng is a very smart person, and he will definitely understand that Commander-in-Chief Yan, like you, will never leave the Jin Sui Army and go abroad. If Commander-in-Chief Yan invites Mr. Feng to come to Shanxi for another reason, Mr. Feng may still believe that he can invite Mr. Feng on the grounds that he wants to go overseas with Mr. Feng, you will never believe it, and you will see at a glance that this is deceiving you. But the problem is that despite the resolute opposition of your subordinates, you came to Shanxi with your family and willingly took the job. ”
Song Zhewu snuffed out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, sighed and said: "Mr. Feng's move is wonderful, not only won the sympathy of public opinion, but also successfully led the disaster to Shanxi in advance. And Commander-in-Chief Yan, who thought he had a plan, not only became a liar, but also made Commander-in-Chief Yan forced by Chiang Kai-shek to retreat and had to oppose Chiang by force. Commander-in-Chief Yan is smart but is mistaken by cleverness! ”
