On 20 July, Wu Xiaoliang saw a piece of inexplicable news in the newspaper that legislator Wu Tiecheng was suddenly appointed mayor of Shanghai.

The next day, to Wu Xiaoliang's surprise, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the whole country that the Northeast Army officially went out to intervene in the Central Plains War and strongly supported the central government in Nanjing, and at the same time, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhang Xueliang as the deputy commander of the 6th Navy and Air Force, and appointed him as the premier of the Executive Yuan.

Thinking back to the war in the past two months, Wu Xiaoliang shook his head and smiled bitterly, the Central Plains War that he tried his best to prevent was still inevitable, Yan Feng originally formed an alliance with the ghost and the god as in his previous life, although the primary and secondary transposition, but the result was not bad after all, Zhang Xueliang also sent a telegram to support Jiang Zhongzheng as in his previous life, the only change is that the time of the Central Plains War will be greatly shortened compared with the previous life.

The city of Jinan was suddenly plunged into a sea of joy, and people took to the streets, unable to suppress the anticipation in their hearts, and experienced the feeling of peace on the eve that the war was finally coming to an end.

Since Zhang Xueliang telegraphed the Northeast Army to enter the customs, he ordered Li Zejun's 57th Division to suspend the operation, in order to wait and see how the situation unfolds, if it can be defeated without a fight, it is the best, Zhang Xueliang did not disappoint Wu Xiaoliang and the people of the whole country, Xu Yongchang was defeated by the 100,000 Northeast Army Taishan overwhelming the momentum, hastily withdrew from Pingjin and retreated to Chahar, since then Hebei has become greedy, Zhang Xueliang recovered Pingjin all the way, sent a partial division to monitor Xu Yongchang who overthrew Chahar, and the main force of the army turned to the sword to point to Taihang Mountain in Shanxi.

"Qilu Times" devoted two full pages to reporting Zhang Xueliang's military operations in Hebei, during which he occasionally introduced how he alone supported the crisis since the Baiqibao incident, broke through a qiē resistance and changed the flag, so that China was unified after more than ten years of division and chaos, and praised his dispatch of troops for such wisdom and greatness, and public opinion praised this young marshal almost all over again.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled slightly, and continued to look at other news, in an inconspicuous corner, a piece of news made his heart beat violently a few times, and the joy of the end of the war suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he fell into a cold moment in an instant.

He grabbed the phone on the table and shouted, "Let the guard regiment prepare the car, I want to go to Jinan Railway Station." Then he grabbed another phone on the desk and asked for Secretary General Zhu Wusheng's office.

"Lin Sheng, I'm Wu Xiaoliang, I'm going to Tai'an today, and you will preside over the daily activities of the provincial capital, and you can do it according to the established strategy."

After putting down the phone, Wu Xiaoliang didn't stop for a moment, rang the electric bell on the table, and called the secretary into the room.

"Send a telegram to Kaifeng, after receiving the telegram, the 17th Division immediately moved like Yucheng and Shangqiu, waiting for further orders, the independent brigade is stationed in Kaifeng, and must not take a step back, the armored brigade and the cavalry brigade withdraw from Feicheng and return to Tai'an to standby, and the defense of Feicheng will be taken over by the security brigade."

The secretary was quite surprised by this order, Wu Xiaoliang had already set the tone, in view of the entry of the Northeast Army, it was only a matter of time before Yan Feng's army was defeated, in order to preserve his strength, he ordered all the troops to stop their military operations and wait and see, how could he change his mind so quickly and make such a large-scale transfer, did he want to encircle and annihilate the two Jin armies of Dingtao and Chengwu.

Despite his doubts, he did not dare to ask rashly, so he had to go to the telegraph room with a hundred people who did not understand to convey the order.

Wu Xiaoliang's move immediately had a great impact on the Luyu war situation, Sun Chu and Yang Xiaoou, who were entrenched in Dingtao and Chengwu, immediately felt threatened, but both of them knew that Zhang Hanqing in the Northeast led the Northeast Army into the customs, Yan Xishan was already difficult to protect himself, and there was no possibility of victory, so they realized that they could not get reinforcements, and even materials were difficult to get. If it's really hard, isn't it hitting a stone with an egg?

Sun Chu and Yang Xiaoou sat down for a while to study and calculate, Commander-in-Chief Yan's loss of power was already a sure thing, and it was better to defect than to be annihilated by others, but the two of them were red-faced because of the dispute over who was sincere.

Sun Chu said: "Chairman Jiang of Nanjing has always been waiting to surrender to the army of sincerity, so it is better to save brothers to vote for him." ”

"Brother Cuiya's words are wrong, although Chairman Jiang's posture is sufficient, we are afraid that it will be just icing on the cake, and the first thing to do after the war will fall on our brothers, but Shandong Wu Xiaoliang is not, he is at the beginning of the war, and he will inevitably be reused at this time."

Yang Xiaoou is obviously more fond of Wu Xiaoliang, a rising star, than Sun Chu, but Sun Chu still disagrees, "Brother Yiru, you only see one of them, but you don't see the second, although Wu Xiaoliang occupies a province, but it is like a duckweed on the sea is a tree without roots, Shandong has a vigorous Northeast Army to the north, and the central national government to the south, it is really a dead place in the cracks, although he occupies Henan, but once there is a change, Henan will become a target when it comes to it, how much strength can he keep?" These Yiru brothers have to think twice. ”

The words were actually whipped in......

In the end, the two did not fight over who was up and who was down, so they had to agree with each other that Sun Chu's First Army would go south to Jiang Zhongzheng of the central government in Nanjing, while Yang Xiaoou secretly contacted Tai'an and decided to take the entire Second Army to take refuge.

……

When Wu Xiaoliang arrived in Tai'an, it was already late at night on the 23rd, Li Zejun was very surprised, he did not expect that Wu Xiaoliang would arrive in a hurry in the middle of the night, an ominous premonition hit his heart, because the rebels were still in Shandong, for safety, so Wu Xiaoliang's whereabouts were kept strictly secret, and even he Li Zejun was only ten minutes ago until the exact arrival time.

"The war is decided, why did the chairman come here, is there anything that can't be assured, or ......?"

Wu Xiaoliang interrupted Li Zejun's speculation, looked stern, and waved his hand: "Go to the headquarters and say." ”

After only saying a few words, he walked before he walked and then didn't speak, and his actions were actually full of coldness, Li Zejun couldn't help but shudder, what's the matter, is there a big event.

As soon as Wu Xiaoliang and Li Zejun arrived at the headquarters in Tai'an City, an adjutant hurriedly came to report.

"Good news, good news, Yang Xiaoou of the Jin army has sent someone here, and he hopes to surrender to our army."

"Oh."

Wu Xiaoliang was shocked in his heart, and when he transferred the 17th Division to return, he had no intention of inserting willows and willows......
