"Master Deng, you are sympathetic to the hearts of the people of Sichuan, I am clear, but you have found the wrong person, if you want to solve the problems of Sichuan, you still have to look at the princes of Sichuan, you have to look at the Beijing government, I was just ordered to build the railway, as long as the Sichuan-Han railway can be repaired, I will complete the task."

Seeing that Chang Yinhuai was about to shirk, Deng Xihou was also anxious, he climbed a few steps, hugged Chang Yinhuai's thigh, and cried bitterly: "Chang Supervisor, I am not a fool in Xia, Sichuan is definitely not good, now the country is thriving, the vice president has a noble prestige, and the unification of the world is the trend of the times, if anyone still can't understand the situation, it is a fool." He is willing to be a pawn of the vice president, and he hopes that the permanent superintendent will end the secession as soon as possible for the sake of tens of millions of people in Sichuan. ”

Chang Yinhuai's eyes narrowed slightly, listening to Deng Xihou's words, his mind was spinning rapidly, Zhang Tinglan had already sent a secret telegram, asking to solve Sichuan as soon as possible. Chang Yinhuai is also constantly deducing, how to get Sichuan in the fastest time.

Deng Xihou is a junior in the armies of central Sichuan, but because of Zhang Tinglan's support, and when he fought against the rebellion in Southern Province, Deng Xihou also contributed, and now he has controlled the Dongchuan region around Chongqing, and he is also a powerful faction in Sichuan.

Thinking of this, Chang Yinhuai smiled and helped Deng Xihou up: "Jin Kang, the vice president does not have Sichuan in his heart, otherwise he would not have invested so much money to build the Sichuan-Han Railway and realize the dream of the people of Bashu." It's just that the country has just stabilized, and if it can, it won't fight, and if it can be small, don't fight big, otherwise this mess will not be able to be cleaned up. ”

Deng Xihou has the nickname of the crystal monkey, and he is the most clever, and he immediately understood what Chang Yinhuai meant: "Chang Supervisor rest assured." The lowly office must do his best to serve the vice president. ”

As soon as Deng Xihou came in, his self-proclaimed position was constantly changing, and now he has become a lowly position, and the meaning of complete submission has been very clear. Chang Yinhuai said with a smile: "Jin Kang, you are not my subordinate, the vice president intends to train three regular divisions in Sichuan, don't miss the opportunity." ”

The name of the division commander and the division commander are the same, but the gold content can be very different, such as Zhang Henian, the commander of the Guards Division. With more than 30,000 elite soldiers in hand, and it is also mechanized equipment, the combat effectiveness of a division completely exceeds that of an ordinary army. Although there are many grass kings in Sichuan, they have thousands of people in one division, and they are not even fully equipped with rifles. I'm afraid that three or five divisions combined are not the opponent of one backbone division.

Zhang Tinglan did not directly hit the southwest. It's not a military account at all. Rather, it is necessary to calculate the economic account and the people's account, and complete complete reunification at the lowest cost.

Deng Xihou had very early contact with Fengjun, so he saw very clearly that the general trend was better than to submit as soon as possible.

"Jin Kang. Since Liu Xiang wants to unite against Feng, you can also follow the trend, as for how to act, I will inform you. ”

It's a good idea here. Preparations have begun in full swing, and the entire land of Bashu has also begun to move. Feng Yuxiang's troops were quickly reorganized, and Sun Yue, who was originally directly in his lineage, was appointed commander of the Xinjiang First Reclamation Division, and Yang Hucheng, who was formerly part of the Yasukuo Army, was appointed commander of the Second Division.

The so-called Yasukuni Army was formed in 1917 in response to Sun Wen's hair care movement, Yu Youren and other members of the Kuomintang went to Shaanxi and formed it. At that time, the Feng army had just developed, and Lao Zhang also gave the Yasukuni army a large amount of arms, wanting to support the Yasukuni army and the Beiyang confrontation.

It's just that after the turmoil in Russia, the main focus of the Feng army was on the north, so it ignored the support for the Yasukuni Army, and now, the Yasukuni Army has also been incorporated and belongs to the Northwest Army sequence, of course, it can only be regarded as a side line.

In fact, we can also see the clues from Feng Yuxiang's arrangement, he sent Sun Yue, who was directly related to him, and Yang Hucheng of the Yasukuo Army to Xinjiang, also to support them. As for Sichuan, which has the most oil and water, it still needs to be controlled by his cronies, and among the three divisions in Sichuan, the commander of the first division, Lu Zhonglin, the deputy division commander, Song Zheyuan, the deputy division commander, Shi Jingting, the commander of the second division, Zhang Zhijiang, the deputy division commander, Han Fuyu, the commander of the third division, and Shi Yousan, the deputy division commander.

In addition, such as Liu Yufang, Li Mingzhong, Zhao Dengyu, Tong Linge, Sun Lianzhong and others, all followed Feng Yuxiang south, three divisions plus auxiliary troops, a total of more than 40,000 people, Feng Yuxiang falsely claimed 100,000, and went down from southwest Shaanxi to Guangyuan, an important town in northern Sichuan.

The Northwest Army was known for its ferocity and fierceness, and Feng Yuxiang moved south, which was a huge shock to the princes of Sichuan, and Liu Xiang hurriedly gathered people from all walks of life to discuss the strategy against Lao Feng.

Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Liu Cunhou, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Lai Xinhui and other Sichuan military leaders of all sizes gathered in the capital and discussed countermeasures for half a month.

Since the Republic of China, especially after the death of Lao Yuan, he lost control, and the southwest has been fighting almost every day, with constant melee back and forth, often coming to power today, stepping down tomorrow, and making a comeback the day after tomorrow. In the morning, he was still using the knife, but in the afternoon, he united together, and it was a mess.

However, with Zhang Tinglan's entry into the Central Plains, the central government became stronger and stronger, and these large and small army leaders in Sichuan became more and more restrained, and they did not dare to start a war at will, otherwise it would be bad to give the central army an excuse to enter Sichuan.

On this day, everyone gathered together again to discuss the strategy of dealing with Feng Yuxiang, and Yang Sen spoke first: "Everyone, in my opinion, we must fight, and we must fight hard, and we must not let the Northwest Army enter Sichuan." Everyone knows that the northwest is a barren land, and if these people go to Sichuan, they are afraid of what they will see and rob something, and it is not impossible to go thousands of miles of red land. ”

"That's right, not only to fight, but also to fight, it's best to fight all the way to Shaanxi, to Gansu, and take down the territory in the northwest!" This time it was Liu Cunhou who spoke.

Liu Cunhou first relied on the support of the Yunnan system to develop in Sichuan, after these years of war, Liu Cunhou's shili has been seriously shrunk, as the so-called look at the lively is not afraid of big things, so he tried his best to help the war,

And Liu Xiang has been silent, he thought about it, and then said: "There is no mistake at all not to let the Northwest Army enter Sichuan, but we can't ignore the meaning of the central government, if Zhang Tinglan takes the opportunity of the war to enter Sichuan in a big way, I am afraid that we will suffer." ”

Liu Xiang's father, Liu Wenhui, shook his head: "I don't think it's possible, isn't Zhang Tinglan doing something, I heard that a lot of silver has been spilled, factories are built everywhere, roads are built everywhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to control us for a while." ”

Tian Songyao on the side also suddenly sighed: "Speaking of Zhang Tinglan, he is also a good skill, it has only been a few years, and three-quarters of the entire world has fallen into the hands of others, and I saw the newspaper a few days ago, and I heard that a warship of about 40,000 tons was launched, which is six or seven times more than the Zhenyuan ship back then, and it is really more popular than people!" ”

While speaking, Tian Songyao glanced at Deng Xihou meaningfully, Deng Xihou also felt Tian Songyao's meaningful gaze, and hurriedly said: "No matter how big the warship is, it can't sail to Sichuan, we resist Feng Yuxiang, it is to protect the people of Sichuan, and it is a matter of course, I don't think the central government will take care of it." ”

After a few people discussed, they finally formulated a strategy, these army leaders formed the Sichuan Coalition Army, jointly dealt with Feng Yuxiang, Liu Xiang as the commander-in-chief, Yang Sen and Wang Lingji as the deputy commander-in-chief, Liu Wenhui as the former enemy commander-in-chief, Tian Songyao was in charge of staying in Chengdu, and the others followed the counselor in military affairs.

When he arrived at Zuihou, Liu Xiang set his eyes on Deng Xihou and said with a smile: "Brother Jin Kang, I have long heard that you are well-equipped and your soldiers are well-trained. You will lead an army alone, go north to Bazhong, and then choose the opportunity to sneak attack Hanzhong and cut off Feng Yuxiang's back road, what do you think? ”

"There is no problem, please rest assured commander-in-chief, I will complete the task."

Liu Xiang's arrangement is also very interesting, it is clear that the main battlefield is the front line of Guangyuan Sword Pavilion, Bazhong has deviated far from the front line, and the theory of sneak attack is also deceitful, after all, it is not so easy to cross Daba Mountain. In fact, Liu Xiang arranged it like this, making it clear that he did not trust Deng Xihou.

This guy has close contacts with the central government, and if he is sold at a critical moment, it will be too late to regret it. Deng Xihou also saw this, didn't care at all, and happily agreed to Liu Xiang's order.

The army of Sichuan was also mobilized, and Liu Xiang led a total of more than 30,000 soldiers to the north, and at the same time requisitioned 200,000 people, which was huge. However, when Liu Xiang went north, Tian Songyao secretly found Deng Xihou's residence.

As soon as the two met, Tian Songyao grabbed Deng Xihou's sleeve and said with a smile: "Crystal monkey, you tell me the truth, is it the vice president's idea to attack Sichuan this time?" ”

"Tian Donggua, can you ask me about this kind of thing?"

"Why can't you ask, if you don't know, it's strange. Let's open the skylight and say something bright, I'm not like Liu Xiang's gang, I still want to cut the southwest to claim the strong, the reason why the vice president didn't fight Sichuan is not because the strength of the people is not enough, but because there is no idle work. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Sichuan-Han Railway is completed, the army will go south directly from the Luhan Railway, and then go west from the Sichuan-Han Road, how many men and horses will not be able to drive into Sichuan, according to my opinion, rather than waiting for people to fight, it is better to surrender in advance, and sell for a good price. ”

When Deng Xihou heard Tian Songyao's words, he couldn't help but hahadaxiao: "Tian Donggua, there are so many people in Sichuan, it's the first time I've found you so discerning." ”

"Monkey, don't think that everyone in the world is stupid, as long as you are smart, I have been thinking about this since Changyin Huai entered the river. If you fall early, you are a hero, but if you fall late, you are a sinner! ”

"Okay, it's good to have this idea, it just so happens that you are now ordered to guard Chengdu, when the time is ripe, you can directly hand over Chengdu, and when you go to the vice president, it will also be a great achievement."

When the war came, an undercurrent was also surging in Sichuan, and Chang Yinhuai also gave an urgent order, and he entered Sichuan with three rapid strike divisions. However, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, Chang Yinhuai did not show it directly, and there was only one division in the open, and the other two divisions were all mixed into the railway engineering troops.

Now the opportunity has finally come, and these engineers have all shown their hideous colors, and a total of nearly 25,000 men and horses have begun to sharpen their knives. (To be continued......)
