"Ourselves?"

Regarding Song Zhewu's proposal, Song Zheyuan was very moved.

If he can expel Yan Xishan with Song Zhewu, then there will definitely be a conflict with the Jin Sui army in Shanxi, although the Jin Sui army still has more than 200,000 troops in Shanxi, but Song Zhewu has more than 200,000 troops in Taihang, plus Baotou Jing Yuexiu's troops and his 29th Army, the total strength is more than 300,000, and it has an absolute advantage in terms of strength.

What's more, Song Zhewu's troops are well-equipped, and he is confident that with his 29th Army, as long as Li Sichi's army cooperates, he will be absolutely sure that the Jin Sui Army in southern Jin will be solved first. Once he solves the Jin Sui army in the south of Jin, and then goes back to deal with the Jin Sui army in the Wutai region and the Datong region, it will not be a problem, and he will even take the opportunity to strengthen the strength of the 29th Army.

After the war, Song Zhewu will have absolute control in Shanxi, and in order to thank him, he will definitely give his eldest brother a piece of land for self-sufficiency. In that case, he Song Zheyuan would no longer need to rely on Zhang Xueliang's snort, and he could also let his 29th Army have a good rest.

However, Song Zhewu was surprised to ask this question in front of Xu Yongchang.

Song Zhewu knew that Song Zheyuan had misunderstood, shook his head and said: "It's not the two of us, Chairman Xu has to do it with us, otherwise it will be a protracted and tragic war, and we can't afford such consequences." ”

Song Zhewu said to Xu Yongchang, who had just retreated with a look of surprise on his face: "The Jin Sui army is not monolithic, although Yan Xishan tried his best to promote the generals from Shanxi in the Jin Sui army, there are still people who are separated from him. For example, Li Shengda and Li Fuying may not be very loyal to Yan Xishan. As far as I know, this time the two of them went to Datong, completely involuntarily following the crowd. ”

"What I mean is that when these generals return to Jinnan, I will detain these people in Taiyuan, and if Li Shengda and Li Fuying are willing to obey Chairman Xu's leadership, I will let these two people go back. In addition, Yang Xiaoou can also fight for it, and if he agrees, let them go back to help Chairman Xu control the troops. With me and Brother Mingxuan's troops on the side, Chairman Xu can reorganize the Jin Sui army troops in southern Jinnan without bloodshed. ”

"Although Yan Xishan still has nearly 100,000 people in Suiyuan, Datong, and Wutai regions, the combined troops of our three parties have more than 400,000 troops, even if Chairman Xu has just reorganized the Jinnan Jin Sui Army is unwilling to participate in the war, I and Brother Mingxuan's 300,000 people also have an absolute advantage, and I am not afraid that he Yan Xishan will not leave. Then, let the 29th Army garrison Datong to watch Fu Zuoyi, and all the Jin Sui troops in the Wutai and Datong areas were transferred to Jinnan. ”

Although Song Zhewu did not say how to deal with the Wutai region, he asked the Jin Sui army in the Wutai region to be transferred to southern Jinnan, which obviously meant that he wanted to control this region.

Song Zhewu's words about letting the 29th Army garrison Datong made Song Zheyuan's eyes light up. Datong is a good place, not only is it the only way for the Pingsui Line to enter Shanxi, but it also has abundant coal resources, and with Datong in hand, the financial situation of the 29th Army can be greatly improved just by collecting taxes.

Looking at Xu Yongchang with a shocked expression, Song Zheyuan tried his best to resist the urge to applaud loudly, and secretly swallowed his saliva, but the spicy look in his eyes still couldn't be hidden.

Xu Yongchang's mind was a little numb because of Song Zhewu's bold idea, and Xu Yongchang, who was excited, stood up and walked back and forth quickly in the room.

Song Zhewu ignored Song Zheyuan's spicy eyes, nor did he persuade Xu Yongchang to consider his suggestion carefully, but smoked calmly.

He already knew Xu Yongchang's attitude, and if Xu Yongchang accepted his suggestion, he would have a great hope of success, and the price he would pay would be very small. And if Xu Yongchang is against it, then this plan is absolutely not feasible.

Because, without Xu Yongchang's cooperation, not only will the casualties be very large, and the time will be very long, but also because the time will be very long, it will greatly affect the thriving prosperity of Taiyuan and even the entire Shanxi. Such a price is something that Song Zhewu is unwilling to bear, and even he can't afford it.

However, what makes Song Zhewu most jealous is not these, if Xu Yongchang does not cooperate, once the fight starts, Liu Zhi's Central Army is likely to enter Shanxi, and even Zhang Xueliang of Hebei will be interested in coming to Shanxi to intervene, which is the last thing Song Zhewu wants to see.

With the Central Army and the Northeast Army in Shanxi, it would be better than Yan Xishan, after all, Yan Xishan, a person with a criminal record, would not get Chiang Kai-shek's clear support, nor would he become Chiang Kai-shek's strong opponent to restrain him and Song Zhewu.

Therefore, Song Zhewu didn't care much about whether Xu Yongchang agreed with his suggestion.

It's just that Song Zheyuan, who was sitting on the side, looked anxious, looked at Song Zhewu for a while, and looked at Xu Yongchang for a while, and the intense desire in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed. However, he Song Zheyuan is an outsider compared to Song Zhewu and Xu Yongchang, and his 29th Army is a guest army, so it is difficult for him to express his opinion on this matter. In the end, Song Zheyuan, whose neck was a little numb, leaned on the sofa helplessly and drank tea alone.

After turning for a long time, Xu Yongchang seemed to have made up his mind, stopped in front of Song Zhewu, looked at Song Zhewu with a firm gaze, shook his head categorically and said: "Wen Ge, I will never mention this today, since I, Xu Yongchang, joined the Jin Sui Army, I will not do anything to split the Jin Sui Army again." Moreover, in doing so, it is difficult to guarantee that Shanxi will not be able to rekindle the flames of war, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Song Zhewu meant that if he could help Xu Yongchang seize the leadership of the Jin Sui Army, it would be a great thing, Xu Yongchang would not fight for power and profit, although it was impossible to win Xu Yongchang to his side, but with Xu Yongchang in Shanxi to control the Jin Sui Army, he would have a lot less trouble, at least he would no longer have to be careful about Yan Xishan's calculations.

Moreover, Song Zheyuan was stationed in the wealthy Datong, and he would not go to Hebei again, so Song Zhewu would have time to slowly influence the 29th Army, and it was even very likely that he would really take it back for his own use. After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the 29th Army was in Datong, and it would be even greater to keep the army out of Shanxi.

There is a more important point, Song Zhewu believes that if Song Zheyuan is not in Hebei, the chairman of Hebei Province is very likely to fall into his hands. Before the Seven Incidents, he could make better use of Hebei's manpower and material resources to strengthen himself, and keep the Yue army out of Shanhaiguan as much as possible. It is also very possible that the seven incidents will be postponed.

Xu Yongchang's attitude made Song Zheyuan very disappointed, and seeing that Song Zhewu just nodded calmly, Song Zheyuan couldn't help but ask Xu Yongchang: "Chairman Xu, but what if this Yan Xishan doesn't leave?" ”

Xu Yongchang said with a very resolute expression: "Ming said that I will personally go to Datong to persuade Baichuan to leave the country, if he refuses, I will go to Nanjing to find Chairman Jiang, and hand over the chairman of this province to Baichuan, only in this way can the current situation in Shanxi be maintained......
