A farm at the foot of Gaogai Mountain outside Cangshan Town has now been requisitioned as a temporary camp for the 13th Brigade of the East Road Thief Army, and since most of the commanders have been invited by the Reading Force Master to drink flower wine, the soldiers who have just settled down are also lazily gagging in the barracks, and there are only two yawning sentries at the camp gate.

In the night, an army in gray uniforms silently advanced towards the station of the 13th Brigade like a wall, and the uniform pace of "ho, ho, ho" gave people a strong shock in the dark curtain.

"You, you, can't" Seeing a row of black holes with muzzles pointed at them, the two sentries suddenly lost a little sleepiness: "Brother, they are all out to eat, don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender, surrender." One of them, a dark, thin sentry in his mid-30s, was quick-witted, grabbed a stunned companion, and then lightly placed his rifle on the ground.

"Director, director, it's not good, the surname Jiang is going to move us." An officer rushed into the brigade headquarters and shouted frantically: "Outside, outside is full of people from the Reading Division, let them occupy all four gates!" Director, the Brigadier doesn't want you to get an idea! ”

"What!" Zhao Xiangru, the staff officer of the 13th brigade commander, stood up from his chair with a "hoof", and several officers left behind in the brigade headquarters were also stunned and lost their minds at this time.

"The brigade commander was asked by the surnamed Jiang to eat flower wine, and it's all over." Zhao Xiangru took off his big-brimmed hat and slammed it on the table. "Brothers, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, the most important thing now is to keep the brigade commander and dozens of brothers who were taken away by Chiang Kai-shek." Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Xiangru stomped his feet and said, "That's it!" I did this Lord, tell the brethren not to resist, let's fight here, the brigade commander will be finished, you know, don't resist. ”

"But what if they want to disarm us?" A young staff officer asked.

"Does it matter, or does it matter to the brigade commander? Besides, what do you look at next to our barracks? It's Gao Gai Mountain, the artillery battalion of the Reading Division must have put up the cannon now, as long as we resist and the shells fall down, we will all be a handful of ashes, this time, our 13th Brigade is planted! Unexpectedly, as soon as Commander Huang left, the surname Jiang dared to come to Heng! Zhao Xiangru yelled at the people in the room.

A few officers, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the dark mountain outside the window, think about the cannons on the mountain, and no one dares to mention the matter of resistance.

Zhao Xiangru looked at the people in the brigade headquarters, sighed softly and said, "Which of you is going to see Chiang Kai-shek?" Tell him that as long as we keep our brigade commander, everything is negotiable, isn't it just 2,000 broken guns? Give it to him. ”

"I'll go." The young staff officer who had just raised the objection stepped forward. "I'm going to ask the guy surnamed Jiang and ask him what that means! It's all the revolutionary army! Why are you so bullying! Two lines of tears rolled down the young man's eyes.

"Xiliang, when I see Chiang Kai-shek, talk to him well, our brigade commander is still in the hands of others, do you know? Don't mess with the surname Jiang. Zhao Xiangru patted the young staff officer named Fan Xiliang and admonished.

On the one hand, the army is encircling the camp, and on the other hand, there is still singing and dancing in the Wangjiang Tower.

"Papapa" Zhang Yi clapped his palms and said: "Little brother is a good means, I Zhang Mouren admitted it, hehe, I didn't expect Sun Dacang to have such a character here." ”

Wang Boling grinned and said: "That's good, that's good, Brother Zhang knows the current affairs, and we all save trouble." This time the matter is also a last resort, I am here to apologize to Brigade Commander Zhang for Jiegong, here is a check for 50,000 yuan, to Brigade Commander Zhang to suppress the shock, we came out thousands of miles to lead the troops, is it not for this white money? ”

Seeing the check, Zhang Yi's mood seemed to be better. "Chiang Kai-shek is a man, swallowing Lao Tzu's troops and giving Lao Tzu 50,000 oceans, hehe, okay, with this money, it is enough to go back to Tianjin to be a duke."

"Little general, you pointed a gun at Brigade Commander Zhang for a while, and Brigade Commander Zhang got 50,000 oceans, you poked people with a gun just now, did you also help me suppress the shock?" The woman in Luo Yaoguo's arms stretched out her weak and boneless jade hand and twisted it lightly on Luo Yaoguo's thigh. "You're people again."

"Smack!" With a crisp applause, Luo Yaoguo's left hand slapped heavily on the plump buttocks of the girl. "Don't move your ass honestly, you know?"

At this time, the sound of breaking dishes and overturning tables and chairs came from outside, this was Luo Yaoguo's 15th Brigade's special service company arresting the main officers of the 13th Brigade. Hearing the movement below, Zhang Yi's eyebrows that had just been released were pressed together again, and his two hands slowly moved under the table.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, if I were you, you would be honest and do nothing, now you just surrendered your troops, and no one wants your surname, how good is everyone?" Luo Yaoguo's pistol was firmly pointed at Zhang Yi.

"At this point, Brother Zhang still admits it, take the money, whether to go to Dongshan to make a comeback or wash your hands in a golden basin, it's up to you, but now General Xiao Luo's pistol is" Wang Boling said as he took out a small pistol, and after loading it, he aimed it at Zhang Yi.

"Don't, don't, don't, there's something to say." Zhang Yi hurriedly moved all his two arms up, not daring to take any more chances.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the woman in Luo Yaoguo's arms smiled stupidly and said, "Chun'er, Ling'er, help Brigade Commander Zhang get the gun down, so as to save our General Luo from being nervous." ”

"Yes, Sister Li." The two girls seemed to have seen a big scene, but they were not at all nervous about the scene where the gun was moved, and they were sweeping the delicious food on the table with relish.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, the little girl will be offended." The two little girls blinked their big playful eyes, and then four jade hands reached out to the dignified brigade commander's belt and felt out two box cannons, and then skillfully pulled out the magazines and unloaded the yellow bullets one by one.

The woman named Sister Li put her arms around Luo Yaoguo's neck with her white jade arms and chuckled: "It's all caused by this troubled world, it's not the first time I've seen this kind of scene." Okay, little general, now that we're done, let's go talk about personal matters, right? ”

The sound of fighting downstairs almost subsided, and the sound of heavy footsteps of "Teng, Teng, Teng" came.

Zhang Hu, the new commander of the special service company, rushed in with a few soldiers, "Brigade seat, the following things are done." Zhang Hu grinned and reported the "battle situation" downstairs. "All of them have been caught, sixty-three, and many of them have been taken."

The matter of the restaurant is done, and the military camp at the foot of Gaogai Mountain should almost come to an end.

In the guard room at the gate of the barracks, Fan Xiliang, dressed in a straight military uniform, stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek, with no expression on his resolute face.

"Fan Zongyun, huh?" Chiang Kai-shek's voice was gentle and severe.

Fan Xiliang stood upright. "The department is Fan Xiliang, and this time he was entrusted by Director Xu to report the situation to Jiegong."

"Fan Zongyun is a top student of Yunnan Jiangwutang, right? You and Xiangru did a great job this time. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "What are those officers of the 13th Brigade going to do?" Are you willing to disarm? ”

"Jiegong is clever, most of the officers of the 13th Brigade agreed to surrender their weapons to the reading division, but they only asked to ensure the safety of their lives and to protect Zhang Yi." Speaking of Zhang Yi, Fan Xiliang raised his eyebrows, revealing a trace of contempt.

"Okay, okay, thanks to you and Xiangru this time, I will report your merits to the Prime Minister, by the way, what position do you want after the reorganization of the 13th Brigade?" Chiang Kai-shek had a relaxed smile on his face.

Fan Xiliang said solemnly: "Xiliang just hopes to contribute to the revolution, and he said that he can return to Guangdong and eliminate the rebellion. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded solemnly and replied: "Zongyun, I, Jiang someone, am here to promise you and Xiangru that as long as the reorganization is completed, I will immediately wave my army to counterattack Guangdong and sweep away the rebellion." ”

"If Jiegong can really save the revolution and sweep away the old rebellion, Xiliang is willing to follow Jiegong's left and right!" With tears in his eyes, Fan Xiliang bowed deeply to Chiang Kai-shek, and then turned to leave.

If those officers in Zhang Yi's 13th Brigade headquarters saw this scene, I am afraid they would be so angry that they vomited blood, right? It turned out that this Fan Xiliang and Xu Xiangru were both "traitors and internal annihilations" of the 13th Brigade. Both of them were graduates of the Yunnan Army Lecture Martial Arts Hall and were students of Wang Boling. After graduating from Jiangwutang, the two joined Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary army, and were assigned to serve as battalion commanders and company commanders in the first road of the Guangdong army. After the Northern Expeditionary Army took Fuzhou, Huang Dawei incorporated the Zhang Yi Brigade of Wang Xianchen's division of the Beiyang Army, and these two people were sent by Huang Dawei to serve as the chief staff officer and the chief of operations.

After Huang Dawei was transferred, Chiang Kai-shek conspired with Xu Chongzhi to divide Huang Dawei's First Army, of which the three brigades expanded from the original First Route Regiment were integrated into Xu Chongzhi and Chiang Kai-shek's respective units, and the other two incorporated brigades were reorganized and annexed by the two respectively. The 13th Brigade was returned to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek, after conspiring with his brother Xu Chongzhi, asked Wang Boling to find Xu Xiangru and Fan Xiliang, and agreed on two plans, namely, the Liying and Waihe Banquet and the Hongmen Banquet, and Wang Boling and Luo Yaoguo came forward to invite Zhang Yi and some of his officers to drink flower wine. Chiang Kai-shek personally led the main force of the Reading Division to surround the 13th Brigade garrison and force them to disarm, while Xu Xiangru and Fan Xiliang acted as internal agents to break the will of resistance of the 13th Brigade officers.

The 13th Brigade originally came from the Beiyang Anhui system, most of the soldiers came from Anhui, the training level was still good, the weapons and equipment were relatively sophisticated, a total of 3,500 officers and soldiers, more than 1,500 long and short guns, and more than 20 machine guns, all of which belonged to Chiang Kai-shek this time. Most of the officers of the 13th Brigade were dismissed, and the soldiers were scattered and reorganized again with the 14th Brigade and the 15th Brigade to form a new 13th Brigade, the brigade commander was returned to Wang Boling, Xu Xiangru became the commander of the 25th Regiment, and Fan Xiliang was left by Chiang Kai-shek at the division headquarters as a staff officer. The chief of staff of the Reading Division has changed to another very famous figure, named He Yingqin! He was originally the chief of staff of the Guizhou Guizhou Army, and once served as the number one in Guizhou, but was later defeated in the Guizhou Army's internal strife. He became the chief of education in Yunnan Jiangwutang, and Wang Boling was a colleague, and was introduced to Chiang Kai-shek by Wang Boling this time.
