The Battle of Pingchuan was fought twice, and although it was extremely fierce, the corresponding victory and defeat were quickly divided. The 50,000 men of Yang Sen's First Route Army were completely annihilated in the early hours of this morning, and Shunqing was also captured by the 12th Division under the command of Li Shun'en soon after. At dawn, good news also came from the direction of Tongliang and Yongchuan, and Yang Sen's Second and Third Route Armies also retreated on all fronts. At noon, Wang Zizheng sent a battle report of the victory of "Miaoba Town", and the Fifth Route Army of the Sichuan Army also failed. Soon after, Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route of the Sichuan Army, led division commanders Wang Mingzhang and Li Jiajue to defect by telegram and announce their participation in the Kuomintang and the National Revolutionary Army. Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiang, who was entrenched in Bishan County to watch, also sent a telegram to defect to the national political axe, and immediately sent troops to attack Dazu County, where Yang Sen's general headquarters was located. Of course, at this time, Janssen was probably already on the run. In addition, there is a Luzhou battlefield that is even more interesting, the armies of Liu Wenhui and Liu Chengxun did not enter Lai Xinhui's territory at all, and the two sides only made a telegram to fight.

At 6 o'clock in the evening of June 2nd, there was a sumptuous banquet in the small restaurant of Yucheng Xingying, with red Sichuan cuisine and Moutai wine. The person who came was Shi Qingyang, director of the Sichuan Provincial Party Department, Luo Yaoguo's camp and regent and political officer, but he couldn't manage party affairs, this Shi Qingyang's sudden visit surprised him, but after a little thought, he understood the reason.

The Sichuan Kuomintang was historically divided into two factions, one faction was known as the "nine-member group" of Huang Xing's line, headed by Xiong Kewu. The other faction was the "industrial group" supported by Sun Yat-sen, headed by Xie Zhi, and Shi Qingyang was a member of the industrial group. Although the nine-member group and the industrial group are in the past, the contradictions and differences between them and Xiong Kewu have always existed, or the differences between Xiong Kewu and Sun Yat-sen have not been eliminated. Otherwise, the director of the Yucheng camp this time should not be Luo Yaoguo.

At today's banquet, Luo Yaoguo did not invite Jiang Baili and He Guoguang, but invited He Jinhan, Zeng Kuoqing, and Yan Wu, the director of operations, three students from the first phase of Huangpu to accompany him.

Looking at a few young people, Shi Qingyang nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that this Luo Yaoguo is really thoughtful, no wonder he can get the trust of the prime minister. Today's meeting was originally to talk about some things that should not be spread outside, and Jiang Baili and He Guoguang were indeed not suitable to appear.

Several people sat down separately, and after greeting for a while, Shi Qingyang went straight to the point, talking about his intentions, and he said: "The old man is here to ask Brother Fu Wen what he thinks about the political situation in Sichuan after the Battle of Pingchuan?" ”

Hearing that the Kuomintang veteran Shi Qingyang actually called himself "brother" Luo Yaoguo was stunned and stunned, and it took a while to react, with a humble face, and said: "Don't dare to ask for advice, the younger generation just thinks that after the Battle of Pingchuan, Sichuan should also enter the training government, just like the rest of the southern provinces." ”

"Discipline Zheng?" Shi Qingyang suddenly laughed out loud, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Brother Fuwen really thinks that with your 100,000 elite soldiers, you can level Sichuan, and return the people of Sichuan to a bright future?" You underestimate the heroes in Shu too much, and you also underestimate our Xiong Jinfan. ”

"Jin Gong?" Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, he hadn't seen the chairman of this province since he came to Sichuan, and this seemed to be deliberately avoiding himself, going here to inspect for a while, and going there for inspection. Maybe he can't accept himself as a "boss"? Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "I have no intention of competing with Duke Jin for power this time, I will leave when those Sichuan warlords are pacified, and the boss of Sichuan will still be Duke Jin." ”

Shi Qingyang shook his head with a smile and said, "Pacified the Sichuan warlords? Do you think Xiong Jinfan is not? Didn't those Sichuan warlords develop and grow under his defense zone system? Xiong Jinfan is the chief leader of these Sichuan warlords, but he can't control those little brothers. Now you bring troops to Sichuan and beat those little brothers of the Sichuan army hard, which is just conducive to him taking it for his own use. When the time comes, they will all hang up the Kuomintang sign, how are you going to clean them up? ”

If that's the case, what should we do? Luo Yaoguo was silent for a while.

……

After Xiong Kewu got the news of Wusheng's victory, he had secretly returned to Yucheng from Qijiang. Xiong Kewu has long regarded it as a great shame for Sun Yat-sen to set up a Yucheng camp on his head, and he also assigned Luo Yaoguo, who is a junior character, to be the director of the camp, so he has been hiding in Qijiang these days. But now it's not okay not to go back to Yucheng, in just two days, Luo Yaoguo's [***] has achieved an overwhelming advantage, these Sichuan warlords are really too incompetent! How could he have been defeated at their hands back then?

Thinking of this, Xiong Kewu let out a long breath, looking at the prosperous street scene of Yucheng outside the window of the mansion, and always felt that it was not a taste. He had a hunch that this great Sichuan was about to fall into the hands of others.

"Jin Gong, the guest is here." The secretary Chen Guzhi pushed the door into the office and told him that there was a visitor, which was a guest that Xiong Kewu had made an appointment with when he was in Qijiang.

"Please." Xiong Kewu only said a word lightly, and he didn't go out to greet him, he was really arrogant.

The visitor is Wu Yizhang, who is known as the Jinyu article, and now he is in charge of liaising with the upper echelons of the Sichuan army in Sichuan, which naturally includes Xiong Kewu, and the two of them have met more than once, so they are more casual.

"Brother Shuren is here, but my brother can't welcome him from afar, and he is disrespectful, disrespectful." Seeing Wu Yizhang walking in with a smile on his face, Xiong Kewu smiled and hugged his fists, and said, "Brother Shuren is here for any advice?" ”

"Don't dare to advise." Wu Yizhang could see that Xiong Kewu was not in a mood, so he didn't care about his rudeness, he smiled and said: "The little brother is here to congratulate Brother Jinfan on his upcoming overseeing of Sichuan politics." ”

The Kuomintang army defeated the main force of the Sichuan army in Wusheng County, and Sichuan was about to fall into the hands of the Kuomintang, and Xiong Kewu was the provincial chairman of the Kuomintang side, so he was naturally the biggest beneficiary, so it seems that he should be happy, right?

"Hehe, rejoice, rejoice." Xiong Kewu squeezed out some smiles slightly, and then sighed and said, "It's just that the chairman of the junior brother doesn't know what day to do?" The prime minister is now very fortunate to Xie Huisheng (Xie Zhi), and I'm afraid that the head of the nine-member group will not have many good words. ”

"The little brother is here for this." Wu Yizhang smiled faintly, took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to Chen Guzhi, and said, "This is Liu Ziqian's handwritten letter, he wants to work for Gong Jin now." ”

Liu Wenhui is known as "Duobao Daoren" and is also a master who makes friends, and in order not to be swallowed up by the right wing of the Kuomintang, he also has contacts with the Chinese G. Before the Battle of Pingchuan, he had expected that the Kuomintang army had a great chance of victory, so he wrote a handwritten letter to Wu Yizhang, asking him to help contact Xiong Kewu to see if he could hang up the Kuomintang signboard through Xiong Kewu and continue to maintain the situation of reading autonomy.

"Show me it." Xiong Kewu's face looked a lot better, he took the letter from the secretary's hand, opened it and took a look, it turned out to be Liu Wenhui's letter of loyalty, Liu Wenhui was a brocade in the letter, claiming to be a junior backward, greatly admiring Xiong Kewu, hoping to follow left and right in the future, only Xiong Kewu's order is obeyed.

To say that these heroes in Sichuan are still wise, they pinched Luo Yaoguo's death hole at once. If you want to fight, there are An Sihua and Li Zongren plus Luo Yaoguo himself, the four gold medal fighters of the Kuomintang are here, and those generals of the Sichuan Army can't beat them no matter what. But playing politics is different. In this time and space, Luo Yaoguo's death hole is that he must maintain the unity of the Kuomintang and avoid a civil war of the Kuomintang. Therefore, playing a blue sky and white flag is really the best way to deal with Luo Yaoguo. It's just that this flag can't be bought in a store casually, and it has to be awarded by a tough Kuomintang bigwig, such as Deng Xihou, who followed Yang Huchen's path and became a Kuomintang leftist. And Liu Wenhui wants to unite with Xiong Kewu.

Now Xiong Kewu's basic troops have been reorganized into the [***] 26th and 27th Divisions, which are not very easy to command. In addition, Lai Xinhui supports him, which can be regarded as a movement that can be commanded. However, Lai Xinhui only has 20,000 people, and his troops are indeed a bit weak, but Liu Wenhui has 50,000 people, and if he can use it for himself, it is indeed a good choice. This time, Wu Yzhang and GCD did a great favor.

Thinking of this, Xiong Kewu stood up, arched his hand at Wu Yizhang, and said: "Little brother, thank you Brother Shuren for running back and forth, I have made up my friend Xiong Kewu!" In the future, if your party wants my help in Sichuan, even if you ask, as long as the younger brother does his best, he will definitely do it. ”
