Bai Fengxiang and the others were solemn, and then Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng began to explain the details of their actions to Bai Fengxiang and others. In particular, the secrecy and offensive methods require that it is necessary to ensure that Jiang Zhongzheng is not killed or injured. No, it's hard to say.

If Jiang Zhongzheng did not worry that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would make moves against him, it must be a lie. In fact, later generations can see in his "Xi'an Half Moon Chronicle" that he said before the future Xi'an.

"That is, we have already noticed that the Northeast Army's anti-bandit troops have a huge and complex thinking, different words and actions, and there are all kinds of complicated and bizarre reports such as colluding with the bandit troops to retreat freely, and it is even said that there will be extraordinary conspiracies and disorderly people."

In other words, in fact, Jiang Zhongzheng is on guard against Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. For this reason, he did not take much precautions, which was manifested in the fact that every time he stayed in Lintong and never went to live in Xi'an.

And the reason why he came to Shaanxi twice to stay in the luxury hotel in the city, but he chose Lintong Huaqingchi, and wanted to live in Xi'an for a few more days, which is relatively quiet, which is of course a factor, and for safety reasons.

The urban area of Xi'an was garrisoned by the Seventeenth Route Army, and he was wary of Yang Hucheng. And Huaqingchi is the defense area of the Northeast Army, and he thinks that compared with Yang Hucheng, the honest and obedient Zhang Xueliang is more reliable.

Even so, Jiang Zhongzheng is also extremely cautious, and most of his activities are within the scope of Huaqing Pond, not as a last resort, he will never leave the line.

If you have to go out, you must guard like a forest and take strict precautions. Moreover, as soon as he settled down, he frequently had dinner and talked with some high-ranking generals, carefully observing whether these high-ranking generals looked different, lest something unexpected happen.

It is even recorded that planes came shortly after the Xi'an Incident! It shows that Jiang Zhongzheng has a plan for this, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Xueliang actually used his personal guard and transferred Bai Fengxiang to carry out this mission.

And he didn't reveal it to the senior generals around him at all. On this point, Yang Hucheng is also unanimous. The two had a tacit understanding and did not reveal the slightest hint of this matter.

"Since 'IX. After 18', the Chinese people are very unforgiving to your Northeast Army! Now that there are only five minutes left in the war against the Communist Party, I am giving you the Northeast Army a chance to make meritorious contributions, and you must understand my intentions. Obey orders and work hard to suppress the CCP! Don't make a mistake! ”

This is Jiang Zhongzheng's reprimand to Liu Duoquan, commander of the 105th Division of the Northeast Army, because Liu Duoquan originally had the idea of preserving troops to resist Japan rather than suppressing bandits. So after Jiang Zhongzheng learned from Dai Li, he asked him to come to dinner.

Liu Duoquan gave Jiang Zhongzheng such a reprimand, indicating that he was submissive, but in fact, he scolded Jiang Zhongzheng miserably! There are only five minutes left to suppress the total?! This is blowing too much, right?!

After five "encirclement and suppression" campaigns, you mobilized so many troops to fight from the south to the north for two years, didn't the Red Army survive and develop in the same way? One more fight this time will wipe out the Red Army. Who can believe this?! You coax ghosts!

And Jiang Zhongzheng's reprimand for Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, was not so polite!

"The radio station of your military headquarters often reports to the red bandits, do you think I don't know?! I've known about your actions for a long time! I'm telling you, this is my last chance for you! Don't make a mistake! Be a sinner of the party-state! Leave a stench for 10,000 years! ”

Wang Yizhe's face was ugly when he was scolded by Jiang Zhongzheng, but he was helpless. I ate the meal hard, and when I got back, I didn't say a word.

Since Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng have decided to do it, then things naturally cannot be delayed.

On December 10, Zhang Xueliang took Bai Fengxiang to attend a military conference held by Jiang Zhongzheng on the pretext of "guiding guerrillas." At this meeting, Bai Fengxiang sat quietly behind Zhang Xueliang, except for bowing his head to take notes and looking at Jiang Zhongzheng with "reverence", he was like air and did not attract attention at all.

The meeting lasted more than an hour. The sixth "encirclement and suppression" plan of Jiang Zhongzheng was established and approved, and at the same time, it was decided to announce a general mobilization order on the 12th to launch a general offensive against Shaanxi Red!

On the evening of December 11, Jiang Zhongzheng asked Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, and Zhu Shaoliang to attend the banquet at his accommodation. During the banquet, Jiang Zhongzheng announced the appointment of Jiang Dingwen as the former commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression Army, and Wei Lihuang as the commander-in-chief of the border areas of the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Suining.

At the same time, it was announced that the Central Army would take over the task of suppressing the Red Army from the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army!

But the strange thing is that Zhang Xueliang, who originally expected that even if he didn't jump like thunder, he would at least show a calm look, but he didn't show any performance. Laughing and clinking glasses with everyone present.

This made Jiang Zhongzheng suddenly feel that something was not right, so he secretly ordered him to pay attention to Zhang Xueliang.

After the meeting, Zhang Xueliang personally drove a car with a smile and sent several Nanjing military and political officials back to the city to attend a reception of the Shaanxi Provincial Government held in the Xincheng Building. Because of the hurry, the car drove very fast, when the car reached the bank of the river with the rushing rapids and got on the Ba Bridge. Zhang Xueliang suddenly slowed down.

But I saw him say to several of his unusual passengers in a serious manner: "I remind you now, you can't offend me easily......

Several adults suddenly saw Zhang Xueliang throw out such a sentence coldly, and they couldn't help but be surprised! My heart gradually cooled down, and the sweat on my face came out all at once!

But after all, they are still people who have been in the formation for a long time, and they immediately reined in their thoughts and politely said to Zhang Xueliang as if nothing happened: "Where." Where, where does the inferior rank never speak ill of the deputy commander behind his back?! It's too late, how dare you offend?"

"Really?! Never pound my backbone behind my back?! That's good, that's good! Haha...... "Zhang Xueliang was still serious just now, but at this time, he suddenly laughed!

The adults couldn't help but ask him why he was laughing. But seeing Zhang Xueliang's conscience, he said: "Actually, don't offend me what I said, you haven't understood it yet?!" I'm not referring to the usual, but to the present. ”

He patted the steering wheel as he spoke: "That's what you mean, aren't you all holding the lives of several of you in my hands now?"

"What do you mean......" Several adults looked at Zhang Xueliang in the front seat and said.

"It's not lice on a bald man's head - obviously, right now you're all sitting in my car, and if I take a nap or pay no attention, let's say the slightest deviation of my hand, the car will fall under the bridge, and then we will all die?! Haha......" Zhang Xueliang said and laughed again.

Everyone also laughed together, but none of them noticed that Zhang Xueliang's smile was so meaningful.

When everyone arrived at the Xincheng Building, Yang Hucheng immediately entertained them as a landlord. After a feast was drunk, it was already midnight. At the end of the banquet, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng sent off the last group of guests and nodded at each other.

Zhang Xueliang returned to his headquarters and secretly ordered to convene an emergency meeting of all the senior generals of the Northeast Army! The senior generals of the Northeast Army who received the order did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the conference room of the general headquarters where Zhang Xueliang was located.

"I brought you here today to announce one thing to you. In order to stop the civil war and fight against Japan together, we are going to make a big move!" Zhang Xueliang saw that the people who should come had basically arrived, and he was not hypocritical and said directly: "I'm going to detain him Jiang Zhongzheng!" Forced him to resist the Japanese!! ”

"Coax~~" As soon as this remark came out, it was like thunder! Everyone suddenly burst into discussions, indeed! They hated the notoriety of "non-resistance" on their backs, but they never thought about directly detaining Jiang Zhongzheng and forcing him to resist Japan.

Although they also hope to be able to resist Japan, this kind of move, this way is too intense! The stimulation was too great at once, and even made everyone a little unacceptable!

"Has the deputy commander ever thought about what to do in the second step after arresting Chiang?! How will the Central Army react?! If the chairman doesn't agree, what should we do?! ”

In the Feng department, Yu Xuezhong is a rare person who has the ability to command. After Zhang Xueliang was detained in history, he also presided over the overall situation of the Northeast Army. Therefore, he keenly asked about these nodes.

"Don't do it, don't do it!" Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth and said directly: "Buckle it up first!" As long as he agrees to resist Japan, we will still support him as a leader! ”

The generals of the Northeast Army were silent, and after a long time, the 57th Army, who had commanded the Great Wall in history, asked in a deep voice: "Has the deputy commander decided to carry this matter to the end?!" ”

"You all know me! If I don't do it, I will never give up halfway! Zhang Xueliang looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "We are forced to go to Liangshan, and we have to do this." As for the more detailed plan, we can't talk about it yet, our first step is to support Chiang Kai-shek's resistance against Japan, and the second and third steps will have to wait and see. ”

"If it doesn't work, let's go back to our hometown in the northeast to find the army!" Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I still don't believe that Jiang Zhongzheng dared to go to Fengtian to find trouble with us!" ”

Speaking from the heart, Zhang Xueliang didn't want to go that far! Although he knew that if he raised the undoubted slaughter father and son would definitely protect himself. But he doesn't want to be this kind of lost dog!

And Zhang Xueliang has already said this, what else do you have to say? ! All the generals stood up at once, and said to Zhang Xueliang: "May you respect the commander's order!" ”

Subsequently, Zhang Xueliang found Sun Mingjiu, the commander of the Second Battalion of Wei, to accompany Bai Fengxiang, Liu Guiwu and others, and asked them to rush to Huaqingchi before dawn tomorrow and carry out the task of detaining Jiang with Wang Yuzan.

saw Zhang Xueliang say in a deep voice to Sun Mingjiu: "You have to listen to Master Bai's words, obey his command, and be cautious!" Don't beat the chairman to death, and certainly don't let him run away! ”

"If you succeed or fail, you will do it here! You have to be careful!! ”
