One hundred and sixty-two heroes at the conference
On May 15, 1925, the hall of the yamen of the Chengdu Military Supervision Office in Sichuan Province was full of friends, and the heroes and heroes from all over Sichuan finally made up their minds after receiving the heroic post of Yang Sen and Yang Zihui, the "talking general", and tried every means to avoid the eyes and ears of the Kuomintang reactionaries, sneaked into Chengdu, and came to Yang Sen's supervision office, and became guests.
More than a dozen leading figures among the Sichuan warlords sat around a large round table in the middle of the hall, which was full of delicacies and wines, but the princes who were sitting there did not seem to have much appetite. A few people sighed softly, not looking like heroes, but a bit of a bear.
Among them, the most sluggish is Liu Xiang, the commander of the Third Army of the Sichuan Army, known as the "Ba Gecko", which Chengdu originally said was to make a territory for him, who knew that after the Kuomintang entered Yucheng, it repented, and did not continue to march westward to fight with Yang Sen, but gave him Ba County and Bishan as a defense area.
Yang Sen saw that the atmosphere was not very warm, so he spoke first, and he smiled: "Brothers, I Yang invited you here today, just to find a way for us Sichuan people to live, and we can't always be angry with those Cantonese people!" Now Yu Shuai of Yanjing has already sent a message, and I Yang Sen have been appointed to do the work of supervising the army, which is to lead everyone to expel the Kuomintang and turn Sichuan into the world of our Sichuan people! ”
"Good!" A stupid guy shouted loudly: "What the big handsome said is, where can we heroes in Sichuan be angry with these Cantonese people!" It's a big deal, let's open the red mountain, let's talk about it if it's broken, it's really not good, let's pull the horizontal line and take the team out of Sichuan to vote, Zhang Yushuai is better than sitting still! ”
Everyone turned their heads to see that it was "Yuan Bao'er" Yuan Baochu who spoke, he was the division commander under Yang Sen, and now he is also a trust, and he cannot represent the majority of reactionary warlords.
Liu Xiang glanced at Wang Lingji, the "Wang Lingguan" beside him, and asked him to stand up and speak, "Wang Lingguan" is the instructor of the accelerated department, and Liu Xiang and Yang Sen have to call him a teacher. So even if he said something wrong, Yang Sen couldn't get angry, otherwise he wouldn't respect the teacher and the teacher, how could the boss of this fast-track department fight?
"Wang Lingguan" took a sip of the old cellar of Xufu, stood up, smiled and said: "Our Third Army of the Sichuan Army is not comparable to you now, only a piece of land the size of a palm, no matter how you scrape it, you can't support a soldier, and now you rely on the subsidies given by the Kuomintang to eat. ”
Now if you want to oppose the Kuomintang, Liu Xiang's troops are on the front line, relying on his more than 10,000 guns, that is, carrying a few days' work, without waiting for Luo Yaoguo's army to arrive, just with the three divisions of the Kuomintang army of Dan Nugang, he can also chop him up and throw him into the Yangtze River to feed the fish.
Yang Sen frowned, just wanted to have a seizure, and looked at the bear appearance of Teacher Wang's "Wang Lingguan" and had to endure it, Yang Sen said in his heart that it was really a soldier, and he would be a nest of bears. You Liu Xiang is now a bear like this, so that Wang Lingji is also a bear, fortunately now Sichuan Zheng is Lao Tzu in charge, if you want to replace you Liu Xiang, it is estimated that the Kuomintang does not need to fight, and it will be reorganized with a paper order.
"Our military commander is thinking about the interests of our Sichuan people! If we don't act now, as soon as reinforcements from the Kuomintang's 10 divisions arrive, this battle will not be easy to fight. The fat Van Haal hurriedly got up to help Yang Sen speak, and he was now also attached to Yang Sen.
Yang Sen nodded and said with a smile: "Hai Ting (Fan Shaozeng) is right, now the Kuomintang forces in Sichuan are weak, there are only three divisions, and a little security regiment of Lu Hanqun (Lu Chao), which adds up to only 30,000. As long as we unite and carry out a surprise attack, take Yucheng and eastern Sichuan in one fell swoop, and block the Kuomintang's way into Sichuan, isn't this three-point world of flowers and flowers our brothers? At that time, how about Yucheng still give Brother Fucheng a defense area? He seems to have forgotten that there are still thousands of people who are introspective by the king.
Liu Xiang looked at his old classmate and nodded helplessly: "Brother Zihui, everything is up to Brother Zihui." I, Liu Xiang, will always pull out this little capital and pull it down, and I hope that all the brothers will take care of it when the time comes. Speaking of this, Liu Xiang's eyes were red, and two lines of tears flowed out.
Yang Sen saw that Liu Xiang succumbed to his pressure, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu Cheng, don't worry, when the time comes, everyone will work together, and you will never be allowed to charge into battle alone." Brother Ziqian (Liu Wenhui): Do you say yes or no? ”
"Duobao Daoren" Liu Wenhui is also one of the best heroes in Sichuan, occupying more than a dozen counties in Sichuan's wealthy Xufu, and his fifth brother Liu Wencai helps scrape the land, so the military salary is abundant, and the current army has expanded to 50,000.
Seeing Yang Sen staring at himself and expressing his attitude, Liu Wenhui was also dry, he laughed: "Instead of following the Kuomintang to be angry, it is better to go to him vigorously, if things are not good, we can go to the Sichuan, and second, we can go out of Sichuan to join the Feng Department, and the worst is that Yan'an is stronger than the Kuomintang." ”
"Good! The younger brother respects his brother with a cup, I have a hero like my brother in Sichuan, why worry about big things! Yang Sen smiled, as if he was very happy to hear it, his eyes glanced at the "crystal monkey" Deng Xihou again, and said with a smile: "Brother Jin Kang, your Baoding department is a hero in the world, and you must not be afraid of the younger generations of the Huangpu Department of the Kuomintang, right?" ”
Deng Xihou's territory was in northern Sichuan, far away from the Kuomintang-controlled eastern Sichuan, so he had his own ideas. He is particular about how he behaves in the world, and he doesn't want to offend any party easily, so it's best to leave a way back, just in case. His plan was to let Yang Sen and the Kuomintang go head-to-head, and when the two sides were exhausted, he came forward to mediate, and both sides curried favor.
Now Janssen is aggressive, he has to make a statement, it's just a statement! Don't send troops to help the war now, what's not to do? Deng Xihou smiled slightly, stood up and hugged his fist at Yang Sen, and said: "General Zihui, although rest assured, I, Deng Xihou, am also from Sichuan, so I naturally want to do my part to protect my hometown." ”
This is also ambiguous, what does it mean to do your part? Sending troops to help fight is doing their best, and coming forward to mediate is also doing their best. Yang Sen naturally knew Deng Xihou's wishful thinking, but now was not the time to worry about him, so he arched his hand and said with a smile: "With Brother Jin Kang's words, I will rest assured, and I will ask Brother Jin Kang to send troops to help in the war." ”
"Right! The territory of our Sichuan people cannot be allowed to be touched by the Kuomintang. Deng Xihou hadn't figured out how to deal with it, Liu Cunhou beside him was the first to answer, this is a hardcore Beiyang faction, and he is very dismissive of the Kuomintang, he laughed and said: "Today, more than a dozen of us get together, and the total strength of the big guys together is always 300,000 or 400,000!" Their Kuomintang has only 500,000 soldiers, what are we afraid of! It's a big deal to fight with them! ”
"That's right! It's a big deal to fight with them! Shunqing's earth overlord, "He Yan King" He Guanglie slapped the table and shouted: "Ge Laozi, we have hundreds of thousands of people, and we are still afraid of tens of thousands of them?" I see that the big guys have sent some troops, wiped out their men and horses in Sichuan, and then closed the gate, this flower world is not ours? He Guanglie didn't notice that there was a mixed brigade of nearly 10,000 people under his nose, and if his division really counted the number of people, it would not be more than a brigade, and if he counted the guns, it would be the number of a regiment.
Seeing that most of the people expressed their support, Yang Sen had some bottom in his heart, he smiled and picked up the wine glass to toast the old slippery head "Liu Shuixuan" Liu Chengxun, and said, "What do you think of Brother Yujiu?" ”
Liu Chengxun's territory is on the edge of Sichuan, and it is also far away from the eastern Sichuan of the Kuomintang, so he also laughed and said with a smile: "I will also look forward to General Zihui in the next place, and we must not let those Cantonese occupy our comfort zone." ”
