In the end, the talks scheduled for 30 June were postponed, and the time entered December, and the two armies of Wu and Chiang were stuck on the battlefield in Anhui, and everyone's eyes were glued there, but a piece of news quickly disrupted their gaze.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, deposing Emperor Puyi ascended the throne and became the emperor of Manchukuo......"

In the early morning of the first day of December, the shouts of the newspaper boy along the street were particularly piercing, and the time when he got the news and the news received by the newspaper office was almost a day apart, but the Japanese must have planned this matter for more than a few days, and for the first time his intelligence system lagged behind, which was not a big deal because his intelligence system had degenerated, and it should be said that the Japanese were too concerned about this matter.

It wasn't until yesterday that Pu Yi ascended the throne in Xinjing, that is, Changchun, as the emperor, and his whereabouts were revealed to the world, and it seems that he has not woken up from the dream of recovering the Qing Dynasty, if he knows that what awaits him will be a humiliating puppet and a career behind bars for more than ten years, can he still choose to be the emperor of Manchukuo.

Wu Xiaoliang believes that Pu Yi will not hesitate to make the same choice, because the future is always unknown, and the obsession with the Qing Dynasty will make him ignore the possible risks, just as the hardcore Qing court widow Prince Su Shanqi, that is, the biological father of the famous Kawashima Yoshiko, when he died in the Qing Dynasty, he had a complicated state of mind to write a poem "Youyan is not the homeland, and the long whistle returns to Liaodong", China is not their homeland in their eyes after all, so it is also their inevitable tragedy to plunge into the Spring and Autumn dream of recovering the country.

The clamor of the street did not disperse until noon, at this time I am afraid that the whole city of Nanjing knew the news of the establishment of Manchukuo, Wu Xiaoliang did not have the time to sigh for Pu Yi's future, he was worried that Zhang Xueliang would not be hit again after learning the news, he had suffered a series of blows in the past year, and he had not been able to stop, if it was really because he couldn't defend the blow, he made something out of the ordinary, such as Shimono, it would have a strict impact on his layout.

Who knew that after noon, Zhang Xueliang still came to Wu Xiaoliang's residence as usual, and looked at the surface as if he had never given birth to anything, the two of them were shabby for a while as usual, Wu Xiaoliang finally couldn't hold back, and smelled straightforwardly:

"Pu Yi is the emperor in the Northeast, what are Han Qing's plans?"

Zhang Xueliang's eyes dimmed for a while and he sighed.

"Pu Yi has the support of the Japanese, and I can't fight it alone, and only by ending the civil war can the whole country unite to resist Japan can there be hope for today's plan."

Wu Xiaoliang was quite surprised by this statement, it seems that Zhang Xueliang's gaze is still better than ordinary people, although the vast majority of people in this era are aware that the Japanese are a threat, but they have never had a concrete and feasible idea and plan, although Zhang Xueliang's words are not clearly explained, but the meaning is already obvious, which is almost the same as the united front of later generations.

What Wu Xiaoliang didn't know was that when Zhang Xueliang first heard the news that Pu Yi had proclaimed himself emperor in the northeast, he wanted to lead his troops back to the northeast, but reason told him that now was not the time to act rashly, and he must do his best to win the unanimous support of everyone before he could return to his hometown in the northeast.

But will the warlords in the Guannai support him, the answer is no, Zhang Xueliang has already given the answer, and he knows that he doesn't need to ask, one of these warlords is counted as one, including Jiang Zhongzheng, they are all people who are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and it is impossible to let them make wedding clothes for others.

But he only felt that he told him that Wu Xiaoliang, who had known him for more than ten years, might be his most staunch ally on the issue of dealing with the Japanese, and his premonition was good, and Wu Xiaoliang's next words made him feel hot in his heart.

"Brother, the reason why I desperately want to fight for a place in this domestic warlord melee is that I have the capital to resist Japan and fight against Japanese invaders in the future, otherwise, you know the financial strength of the Liangda group, and which country to go to be a rich man for leisure is not happy, why bother to come back and suffer this crime, and be squeezed out and suppressed by various warlords who are also Chinese."

Zhang Xueliang knew that his intuition was right, on the point of resisting Japan, Wu Xiaoliang would even cooperate with him for free, only to listen to Wu Xiaoliang continue:

"The Chinese crisis is not only that the Japanese invaders split our country and support Pu Yi to be the emperor of Manchukuo, the biggest goal of the Japanese invaders has always been to completely conquer China, once they gain a firm foothold in the four eastern provinces, then Hanqing's Hebei will become the next target, this can be prepared as early as possible, according to my estimates, it will be two or three years at the latest, and it may be less than a year soon."

In fact, Zhang Xueliang had a premonition of this speculation, but he had been avoiding thinking about this question, a little self-deception, and when Wu Xiaoliang raised it today, he suddenly realized that he could no longer get around this question, and where the Northeast Army would go had become the main issue he should consider, and he only felt that he was almost overwhelmed.

Zhang Xueliang asked hesitantly: "Then where should the Northeast Army go, it is still ...... to defend Hebei." ”

It's not that he can't talk about this later, it's not that he can't say it, but he really doesn't know where to start, if he doesn't defend Hebei, he and his Northeast Army will lose their last foundation and become duckweed on the sea, who can take them in at that time, and the Northeast Army is in danger.

Wu Xiaoliang knew that he would ask this question, so he pulled him to the map, and his fingers slid down from Hebei to the sitting, until he crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Tong Pass, and clicked a few points in the middle of the pass.

"What does Han Qing think here?"

Zhang Xueliang frowned, a little puzzled.

"Here."

"Although it is a little poor, it is better than in the terrain, the land of Xi'an, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent base for long-term resistance to Japan."

According to Wu Xiaoliang, Shaanxi is really a good place to attack, retreat and defend, but the question now is not whether he wants to go, but whether someone wants him to go.

"Feng Yuxiang is in Shaanxi, how can he obediently hand over the territory."

Wu Xiaoliang put his hands behind his back and said solemnly: "Han Qing is confused, is our Central Plains war fought in vain, you wait and see, Feng Yuxiang will definitely be powered to go to the field within this month, and I will be the first to support your Northeast Army to enter Shaanxi at that time." ”

Zhang Xueliang was completely stunned, suddenly he only felt that his nose was sore, his eyes were hot, in addition to the old handsome Zhang Zuolin, who could help himself so wholeheartedly, I am afraid that Wu Xiaoliang is the only one, and what is even more rare is that he made it difficult for him in every possible way before, not only did he not fall into the ground, but he did not care about the previous suspicions, what a mind this is, until this moment he was completely convinced, I am not as good as Wu Xiaoliang too much.

Wu Xiaoliang continued: "Now the key to the battle situation in Anhui is in Anhui, if Anhui fails, all the layout will be wasted, as long as it is defeated, we must immediately start to prepare." ”

"Let, we have a few chances of winning, why don't my Northeast Army go south to cheer."

Once he has the psychology of suffering from gains and losses, Zhang Xueliang actually has some period of Aiai.

"No need, I am free to arrange the battle situation in Anhui, but there is one thing that Hanqing must arrange now, at least two divisions must be prepared, as long as Anhui is victorious, he will be ready to enter Shaanxi at any time."

The establishment of Manchukuo disrupted the pace of the warlords in the country in a certain way, and the end of the civil war became the mainstream of newspaper public opinion at some point, and Jiang Zhongzheng's Nationalist Government repeatedly banned this, so he had to scold Niang Xipi in private, but no matter how he scolded, it was useless, because the war situation in Anhui made him even more blocked, and Chen Cheng, who he relied on the most, was defeated by a little-known former Beiyang officer, although the situation was not ruined, but the loss was the elite of the Central Army of two brigades, The blow to morale is not a one-shot hit.

Thinking of the person who lived next door to him, he hated it so much that he even moved some of his staff to privately persuade him to hurt the killer's thoughts, but this idea was only in his mind, and he was immediately cleared out, and the assassination of this anti-Japanese national hero would bring him endless troubles and troubles, if this person was just a newly rising small warlord, it would be too simple to deal with, and there was no need to care about domestic public opinion at all, and he didn't even need to kill, as long as he sent troops to remove him from his position, All is well.

But he didn't dare to do this to Wu Xiaoliang, no matter how many real charges he fabricated, it would be the evidence that he framed him, and when the time came, he would be pointed out by thousands of people in public opinion, completely passive in politics, and it was even possible to set off a wave of opposition to him again, so he couldn't take this risk, it was better to wait for the wrestling on strength to come up with a result, and when he lost his heart, he obediently led the wild to go abroad, and he included Henan and Shaanxi into the sphere of influence, of course, Feng Yuxiang couldn't stay in the country, You have to go abroad in the wilderness.

However, Chen Cheng's appearance in Anhui made him a little worried, he was thinking about whether to send Liu Zhi's First Army to the north, but at the stall he was considering, the bad news came, Chen Cheng's army was defeated, and in a big battle in Guzhen, the three brigades of the 11th Division were completely annihilated, Dong Haibin advanced on the whole line, and had surrounded Bengbu in one fell swoop, Chen Cheng was caught off guard, so that the 17th Division was besieged in Bengbu City.

At the same time, the first part of Yang Xiaoou's army in Xuzhou began to move south into Anhui, giving Dong Haibin a strong security guarantee to the rear to ensure that no one would enter from Jiangsu and cut off his back route.

When the battle came to this, Jiang Zhongzheng finally only gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence.

"Rhetoric misunderstands me."

In his heart, Chen Cheng's military career had been sentenced to death, and he had previously consulted him about the occupation of Anhui, whether to send him some reinforcements, but he confidently refused, if he sent reinforcements at that time, he should not have been defeated so badly, and this account was naturally recorded on Chen Cheng's head.

Jiang Zhongzheng didn't sleep all night, and finally explained the next morning.

"Inform everyone, meet tomorrow."
