At the beginning of December of the 15th year of the Republic of China.

Kaifeng, Henan Military Supervision Department ushered in a new guest. In the living room, a few cups of tea wafted with a fragrant aroma. Liao Zhongkai wore a loose and comfortable Chinese robe and sat down leisurely. Sitting in front of him was a huge military man, dressed in a simple soldier's uniform, and this person was Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the National Army. This time, accompanied by Liu Bojian, a member of the Central G Party and director of the Political Department of the Kuomintang Army, he rushed here from Shaanxi County to discuss a coalition with the Kuomintang leftists.

In this battle of Henan, Feng Yuxiang seems to have done some thankless work. The main force of his Nationalist army was more than a dozen troops in Shaanxi County, but he could not move forward, and watched as the 21st Division, controlled by the Kuomintang leftists, swallowed the fat territory into its belly in the east. Not to mention how uncomfortable it was in my heart, it was not easy for Wu Peifu to lead his troops to retreat north to Shanxi, and he only passed through Shaanxi County, but at a glance, even Luoyang City belonged to the 21st Division! So what you can't get on the battlefield, you can only fight for it from the negotiating table...... "Liao Gong, the current situation in the north is very gratifying, our party is already victorious in Shanxi, and Datong City was captured by my heroic Red Second Front Army early this morning!" After a period of greetings, the first to cut to the chase was Liu Bojian on the Chinese G side. He smiled slightly, and said:

"Henan has now been controlled by the revolutionary forces, and there are no less than 200,000 soldiers in the two families! The warlords of the Feng faction who ruled Yanjing are now the main force of the Red Army in our northeast, and the number of troops stationed in Zhili is only about 100,000...... As long as we unite and work harder, we can overthrow the reactionary rule of the warlords and push the Chinese revolution to a new level! ”

Liao Zhongkai smiled, looked up at the smug Liu Bojian, and said with a smile: "What does Comrade Liu mean by unity?" Who joins forces with whom? What kind of joint law? ”

After sending Luo Yaoguo away, he has also been thinking about the next direction of development. The Kuomintang left now ostensibly controls most of Henan Province. Among the major cities in Henan, except for Xinyang, which was taken by the Kuomintang rightists, and Nanyang, which was controlled by Liu Zhenhua, who had defected to Feng Yuxiang, all other major cities fell into the hands of the leftists. It's just that the leftists' political power has only been established in a few big cities, and even the surrounding county towns are still maintained by the political axe of Wu Peifu's era, let alone the establishment of grassroots political power in the towns and villages. Therefore, the leftist regime in Henan is actually very unstable and is completely based on the force of the 21st Division. The total strength of the 21st Division is a little too small, and it is only 30,000 to the present. Relying on this strength and the 1st Division of Zhang Zhigongyu, which has not undergone any reorganization, it is also overstretched to maintain the existing territory, and it is simply delusional to want to withdraw troops to the Northern Expedition. Unless it's a team with Feng Yuxiang...... It's just that this Feng Yuxiang can be trusted?

"Of course, the alliance is to take Liao Gong as our political leader, and our national army only obeys Liao Gong's orders, and I, Feng Yuxiang, also only Liao Gong's horse is the first to look forward." Seeing Feng Yuxiang's solemn face, he stood up straight, and gave a military salute to Liao Zhongkai cleanly. It's like a loyal subordinate.

Liu Bojian also stood up, smiling and echoing: "Now the only Kuomintang leader who is really implementing the premier's three major policies is Liao Gong." In the future, only Liao Gong can inherit the mantle of premiership, and the Central Committee of our Party is very willing to support Liao Gong as the future leader of China. ”

Liao Zhongkai raised his eyebrows, and a hint of joy slipped through his eyes, but then he returned to normal. It's not the first time that Zhong G has said this to him, but he was "one of the leaders" in the past, and this time he has become a "leader". To be honest, he still knows very well how many catties he has. However, with the territory of most of the provinces and more than 30,000 elite troops, this strength is still insufficient to protect itself, so how can you become a "leader"? Even if you reluctantly sit up, I'm afraid you're also a leader who wants money but no money, and has no power, right?

Liao Zhongkai smiled and shook his hand indifferently: "I am just one of the premier's students, and there are people like Hu Zhantang, Xu Ruwei, Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yiqun." Where's my turn to be a leader or something? Brother Huanzhang and Comrade Liu, don't give me a high hat, just say what you have to say. ”

As soon as the truth came out, Feng Yuxiang and Liu Bojian both smiled awkwardly. Liu Bojian took a step forward, still smiling: "Now is the critical moment of the Chinese revolution, although our Central Red Army has been victorious in Shanxi. But...... Our Red Army in the northeast is about to abandon the Suiyuan Soviet area and withdraw into the mountainous area of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, so the main force of the Feng system will soon be able to be transferred from the northeast to the pass. In addition, Wu Peifu's 50,000 defeated army has now retreated into Shanxi and formed an alliance with Yan Xishan, ready to help Yan Xishan continue to resist to the end. ”

“…… At such an important juncture in history, the union of Liao Gong and Huan Gong would be crucial for the Chinese revolution. If the 200,000 troops under the two banners can be concentrated and go north to Beijing and Tianjin along the Jinghan Road, it is entirely possible to seize Yanjing before the main force of the Feng army returns to help. Then, if the three of us go north to welcome Premier Sun and organize a joint political axe, won't China's national revolution succeed? ”

Liao Zhongkai nodded slightly. This plan, to be honest, is exactly what he wants. In particular, Yanjing welcomed the prime minister to the north to organize the political axe...... If they succeed, the left wing of the Kuomintang will naturally be able to overwhelm the right wing within the party.

Seeing that Liao Zhongkai was already moved, Liu Bojian hurriedly stepped up his efforts and continued to persuade bitterly: "Liao Gong, now is the opportunity not to be lost, and it will not come again!" If you wait until the main force of the Feng Department enters the pass in a big way, it will be impossible to defeat Yanjing with the 200,000 troops under the control of the two of you, unless you ...... The twenty divisions of the right wing of your party also joined the Northern Expedition. It's just that in that case, I'm afraid that the fruits of the victory of the Northern Expedition will also fall into the hands of Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek and others. ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Huanzhang and Comrade Liu." Liao Zhongkai pondered for a long time, but decided to tell Luo Yaoguo's words and thoughts, he frowned and said: "A few days ago, Luo Fuwen told us in public that he had a conspiracy to seize the Northeast. They planned to take advantage of the collapse of the Bongji system or the fact that its main force was firmly entrenched in the Guannai to launch an incident in the northeast. Seize the three northeastern provinces, and then install a puppet regime...... or foster a puppet state. I believe that this person's remarks are by no means alarmist, and perhaps those comrades of the Central Committee of our Party have already seen his conspiracy, so they have to take the courage to build heavy industry, right? If an incident is triggered because of our trip north, how should our two parties deal with the situation? ”

Liu Bojian and Feng Yuxiang were both startled, and couldn't help but glance at each other. The room fell silent. This incident is indeed a bit sensational, although the GCD and the Kuomintang have been saying "China is going to die!" We are here to save the dead! "But in reality, they didn't think that such a thing would really happen, and they didn't think about how to deal with it.

I don't know how long I was silent before Liu Bojian frowned and sighed: "I will report this matter to the Party Central Committee for study." But for now, I still suggest that the two of you consider the matter of unity, even if the Northern Expedition is not launched for the time being, the two armies in Henan should also consider integrating together, right? Otherwise, how will we deal with the pressure from both the North and the South in the future? ”

Liao Zhongkai smiled faintly and looked at the two in front of him: "Then do you have any integration methods?" Let's listen to it, so let's make a reference, shall we? ”

Feng Yuxiang listened to Liao Zhongkai's words, sighed lightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liao, the next idea is to unite the 21st Division and the 1st Division of Yu to form a new National Alliance Army, our old National Army is still called the First Army of the National Alliance, and you are called the Second Army of the National Alliance. And the defense zone...... How about taking the Jinghan Line as the boundary? All the cities on the Jinghan line were garrisoned by the Second Army. In addition, the second post of Henan overseer and governor is also held by General Hu Jingyi, and our first army can recommend a superintendent. At last...... We, the Kuomintang Coalition Army, joined the Kuomintang en masse, with Mr. Liao as our political leader, and set up a representative of the Kuomintang General Party, and asked Mr. Liao to serve as the representative of the General Party. ”

Liao Zhongkai nodded, with a smiling expression on his face. Feng Yuxiang's plan seemed to be more favorable to the Kuomintang left. In particular, the position of the representative of the General Party of the Kuomintang was very attractive to Liao Zhongkai. What Liao Zhongkai did not tell Feng Yuxiang and Liu Bojian was that he had received an order from Sun Yat-sen and was about to return to the center of the Kuomintang! Moreover, the Second National Congress of the Kuomintang is about to be held, and this congress is naturally also a reshuffle of power within the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang leftists, backed by 200,000 Kuomintang troops and two overseers, are about to make a comeback.

...... "Fuwen, you did a little ...... this time" Chiang Kai-shek frowned and shook his head and looked at Luo Yaoguo, not knowing what to say.

On the first day of returning to work at the Wuhan Military Commission, Luo Yaoguo was summoned to the office by Lao Jiang, who had only returned to Wuhan not long ago, and closed the door for a long time to plot.

"Jiegong, those leftist comrades who helped us control the Jinghan Railway were ordered by the prime minister, and I could only do it. And...... Jiegong doesn't have to worry about them making a comeback on the second big one. Luo Yaoguo still looked relaxed, and did not seem to take Chiang Kai-shek's worries about the power struggle to heart at all.

Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly: "This time, Liao Zhongkai of the Second Congress has to enter the presidium!" I wonder if it will squeeze out your uncle's executive head? Moreover, Deng Yanda may also enter the military committee, so that they also have two seats, and the future division commander replacement may be ......."

Luo Yaoguo smiled deeply, and waved his hand indifferently: "Jiegong, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts!" In this second big deal, they will never be able to get a little cheaper. Even one who is not careful...... It will also be expelled from the party! ”

"What?" Chiang Kai-shek was stunned and looked at Luo Yaoguo suspiciously.

"Middle East Road! Why did Jiegong forget this stubble? Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly and looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a worried face.
