It was nearly evening when Wu Xiaoliang left Jiang Zhongzheng's official residence, the sunset was about to disappear into the end of the street, and the red afterglow painted the streets of Nanjing with a sense of mystery, he stretched his brows, but the pressure did not dissipate, an old Jiang was already difficult enough to deal with, and now there are Lao Feng and Lao Yan, can these three watch themselves eat Henan.

The answer is no, neither Feng Yuxiang nor Yan Xishan wants to see their family take advantage, but the corners of Wu Xiaoliang's mouth showed a smile, if he can't get Henan, if he lets Lao Jiang go, it is not what they want to see, it seems that the three of them are not invulnerable to the possible alliance against their monopoly of Henan.

Feng Yuxiang is not easy to do, Yan Xishan is easier to deal with, after all, the shameless people are fearless in these years, he asked himself if Feng Yuxiang has any credibility at all, and the people who have worked with him, whether it is Zhang Zuolin or Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, did not end well in the end, this guy seems to be good at stabbing his teammates in the back.

Although he has never seen Feng Yuxiang and his person, various historical materials and word of mouth have been handed down, Wu Xiaoliang actually has a very bad sense of this person, a person who changes hands and does not pay attention to faith, he would rather choose to be an enemy with him than a friend, because although the enemy is terrible, he is not as good as a friend who is good at stabbing a knife in the back.

After only a few steps under the afterglow of the setting sun, a plan had already taken shape in Wu Xiaoliang's chest, for Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, they could only fight one and pull the other, and as for which answer to fight must be the former.

But after all, Henan's troops still have to be concentrated to deal with Gu Zhutong, and if they want to draw enough people to fight Feng Yuxiang and drive him back to Guannei, they must first kill Gu Zhutong, although Gu Zhutong's 16th Route Army is ranked below the middle of the middle in terms of equipment and training in the Central Army, but it is also stronger than other miscellaneous warlord troops, and it is not so easy to win a complete victory in a short period of time with Guan Bingyan's armored brigade Dari Achi's cavalry brigade and Li Youting's army in the north and south.

However, Wu Xiaoliang obviously underestimated the strength of the armored brigade and cavalry brigade, and while he was still struggling with where to transfer troops to attack Feng Yuxiang, Xuchang's Gu Zhu army had already become a mess.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Bingyan almost effortlessly broke through Gu Zhutong's carefully arranged defense line, Guan Bingyan did not attack from the front from south to north as Gu Zhutong expected, but led his troops to detour to the west of the right flank to attack suddenly, and finally it took less than an hour to easily destroy Gu Zhutong's fortifications, cavalry and armored troops quickly tore apart the defense line of the 16th Route Army, interspersed left and right, the troops outside Xuchang City were divided into several sections, and Li Youting's infantry in the north of the city took the opportunity to go south, Arrived at the city, so far Gu Zhutong and the main force of the Sixteenth Army completely collapsed, this general that Jiang Zhongzheng relied on has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Shandong army, waiting for his fate is either to die in battle or surrender, and there is a possibility that he will be captured.

Thinking that he might be captured, Gu Zhutong couldn't help but feel a spirit, how could he be captured, and what kind of face would he have to see Chairman Jiang at that time, but now that he was under siege, the reinforcements promised by Chairman Jiang could not see the shadow for a long time, and he could clearly hear the rumbling cannon sound from outside the city.

"Report to the commander, the enemy forces outside the city have begun to bombard the city wall of Xuchang with heavy artillery, and we, we have suffered heavy losses."

The sound of reports came and went, but none of them were good news, the Shandong army's movements were really fast, they didn't expect to start attacking the city so soon, they thought they would always besiege the city and rest for one night, and then make plans, who knew that it was a non-stop siege overnight, not giving the Shandong soldiers time to rest, and not giving themselves a chance to breathe.

Gu Zhutong sighed heavily, at the beginning of the war, the strategy he set was to fight the enemy outside the city with the main force, and the defenders inside the city cooperated with the main force outside the city to defend, so the key to this defensive battle was the fortifications built outside the city, but he never expected that the fortifications constructed by the 16th Route Army would be so useless, and they were broken through by the Shandong Army in a few clicks. Ordered his subordinates to collect the rout troops outside the city as much as possible under the city, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Shandong army.

He thought about it again and again and decided to fight again, as long as he was in Xuchang City for three or five days, he did not believe that the reinforcements promised by Chairman Jiang had not yet arrived, but he did not know that although Jiang Zhongzheng's reinforcements had entered Henan, they would never be able to rush to Xuchang City.

At this time, a major battle was going on in Zhumadian, seven hundred miles south of Xiping County, south of Xuchang, and the battle had come to an end, and the troops from Hubei were almost unprepared for an ambush.

Under the blow of powerful firepower, these local miscellaneous armies from Hubei to Henan have always been steady, several unsuccessful charges, and after a large number of casualties, the rout of the five organizations began, which is simply incredible, and a new brigade commander in charge of blocking the task was dumbfounded, since he had encountered either the ruthless characters of the Northwest Army or the elite of the Northeast Army, and it was the first time he had come into contact with the local miscellaneous army in Huguang.

Before coming to Zhumadian, he got the information that Jiang Zhongzheng sent three brigades to reinforce Gu Zhutong, and he prepared quite solemnly for this, after all, he couldn't tolerate a little sloppiness by fighting less and more, but after this first battle, the Hubei soldiers' appearance was too bad, and they didn't even last three hours before they collapsed on their own.

This opportunity must not be missed, he immediately ordered the cavalry to pursue and sweep in order to maximize the number of killed and wounded Lao Chiang reinforcements, after pursuing dozens of miles, he decisively ordered the troops to abandon the pursuit and transfer the position.

Poor Kou Mo chase, not to mention that there are two main forces of the brigade behind this vanguard team, this blockade is unexpected to be left so thorough and sudden, if the other party is prepared, I am afraid that if you want to defeat them, you will have to pay a considerable price, this place has been exposed, and staying in Zhumadian is to be a target for others, so it must be transferred.

But along the Jinghan Railway is full of plains, all of them are a horse Pingchuan It is really not easy to find a suitable ambush location, so I have to withdraw to Suiping first, and then say, Commander Li gave him the task of annihilating the enemy going north, and then return to Zhengzhou, on the Longhai line, they used Feng Yuxiang's empty city plan, in fact, the troops facing Feng Yuxiang's army head-on are only one brigade, if they suddenly attack, several major cities on the Longhai line may be dangerous.

This is a very risky plan, but this risk is worth taking, the latest news he got is that the main force of Gu Zhutong's Sixteenth Route Army has been defeated, and I am afraid that the city will be broken tonight, and it will not matter whether he goes north or not, Brigade Commander Guan will sweep Feng Yuxiang north with the power of victory, and the battle in Henan will be determined soon.

When Wu Xiaoliang got the news that the Sixteenth Route Army was defeated and Gu Zhutong was besieged in Xuchang City, it was already dark, and at this time, Jiang Zhongzheng must have also gotten the news of their defeat.

Will Lao Jiang be angry and jump to scold Niang Xipi at this moment, Wu Xiaoliang thought with a bad taste.

It doesn't matter if he scolds his mother or not, he now has a bargaining chip, but it is not a bargaining chip that can be put on the table, and by the 30th, the dust has settled, and the key is still in the results of these days.

Gu Zhutong was surrounded in Xuchang, and the reinforcements were beaten and fled, Lao Jiang must not want his army to be wiped out by the formation, it is better to make an exchange with him, Wu Xiaoliang instinctively did not want to do things absolutely, he decided to bargain with Lao Jiang.

However, Wu Xiaoliang didn't realize that he was actually too much for Jiang Zhongzheng to do this, he was cheap and good-behaved, Gu Zhutong was really helpless, but he may not be willing to give up the land of Henan Province, it's a big deal to transfer the main force of Jiangxi to suppress bandits north to Henan to fight to the death, and it is really unknown who will kill the deer.

Wu Xiaoliang's letter was still sent, he thought about it again and again and decided to talk to Lao Jiang in the form of a letter, to his surprise was that Lao Jiang's reply was also very fast, only less than an hour, that is to say, he sent the letter out at about half past six in the evening, and Jiang Zhongzheng's reply arrived at less than eight o'clock, of course, Wu Xiaoliang's place of stay was very close to Jiang Zhongzheng's official residence, and it was only ten minutes on foot.

When I opened the envelope, the ink on the letterhead was not completely dry, and it still felt a little damp to the touch.

There are only a few words, but the position and tone are extremely tough, and the writing is quite polite, which roughly means that Gu Zhutong, as a party **, has long had the responsibility and consciousness of sacrificing his life for the party and the state, and Jiang Zhongzheng, a state official, will not exchange it for someone.

said that it is high-sounding, it is nothing more than to say, I don't care what Gu Zhutong is like now, if I want to kill him, I have to listen to him, but I definitely can't give it to you in Henan, and I have to send someone to fight you to the death.

Wu Xiaoliang had a headache after reading the letter, he expected that Jiang Zhongzheng would refuse, but he didn't expect that he could refuse so simply, so unsparingly, it seemed that he couldn't negotiate it in private, and he could only hope to achieve greater advantages on the battlefield.

Wu Xiaoliang stood on the map in front of the table, his eyes moved to Anhui, this is currently the key to determining the direction of the situation, both sides have invested a lot of troops here, Chen Cheng is not a simple character Dong Haibin has been dormant for more than ten years, and now he has encountered such a strong opponent when he comes out of the mountain, his eyes can't help but flash a trace of worry.

After being stunned for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, if the decisive battle in Anhui did not come to fruition, the meeting on the 30th would probably be in vain.

Wu Xiaoliang cleared the negative feelings in his mind, and left him Jiang Zhongzheng alone for the time being, Yan Xishan is about to arrive in Nanjing, or now he is looking for a breakthrough, as long as Jiang Feng and Yan are not allowed to stand on the same line, Henan still has a lot to do.
