The Republic of Heroes

The horse took the lead, the woolen coat was opened and swung back by the wind, revealing the cowhide armor belt inside, and the black riding boots stepped on the stirrup tightly, tightly clamping the horse's belly.This person is Zhang Xueliang, commander of the Northeast Army.

"Weizhong..."

Zhang Xueliang's eyesight is excellent, and he saw Wu Xiaoliang who was hanging half of his body outside the carriage door at a glance.But after a while, Zhang Xueliang's war horse had already galloped over, and with a long neigh, it stopped abruptly in front of Wu Xiaoliang.

"It really is Han Qing, you, you are not dead?"

Wu Xiaoliang's words stunned Zhang Xueliang for a moment, he seemed a little puzzled, and asked, "Why did Brother Weizhong say that?"

"Oh!" Wu Xiaoliang patted his forehead suddenly, and said, "I'm afraid Han Qing didn't know that the waiting team in Tongguan was thrown a bomb, causing heavy casualties. Since there is nothing wrong, Brother Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief."

What Wu Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief was that this explosion directly dispelled Zhang Xueliang's suspicion of being involved in the previous railway explosion. Yes, indirectly.It would be reasonable for Zhang Xueliang to hate Wu Xiaoliang.

However, there was also an explosion tragedy in Tongguan, and even one of Zhang Xueliang's direct descendants, Wang Yizhe, was killed in the bombing, which proved to a large extent that Zhang Xueliang was also one of the targets of the plot.If someone suspects that this is Zhang Xueliang's self-written, self-directed and self-acted bitter trick, it is even more unreasonable.Zhang Xueliang has the temperament of a young master, and he is happy to be kind to others. It is impossible for him to sacrifice the people around him arbitrarily in order to kill a so-called enemy.

But Wu Xiaoliang is very clear that everyone ignores the complicated situation in Xi'an. Zhang Xueliang is not the only one here. If Wu Xiaoliang is killed or even Zhang Xueliang is killed, there are still many people who will benefit.Then, he would step on this muddy water firmly to see who was behind the scenes and who was behind the scenes.

Wu Xiaoliang ushered the busy Zhang Xueliang onto the special train, and asked him to use the radio station in the confidential room to contact the customs clearance department. After he got the answer, his face turned red, obviously very angry at the bombing of Wang Yizhe.

But his anger was useless here, and he wanted to rush back immediately, but was stopped by Wu Xiaoliang.

"Hanqing, please be safe and don't be impatient. When the time comes, it will not be too late for us to return to Tongguan!"

Zhang Xueliang seemed to be full of anxiety, "There is Xueliang accompanying him in the direction of Tongguan, if they are stewed into a stew by those people with ulterior motives..."

"Hanqing is still so impulsive. As long as Hanqing is there, the Northeast Army will not be defeated. What's more, if you go back so hastily, who can guarantee that those people will not carry out a second and third assassination halfway after they find out that they have not succeeded? "

This remark made Zhang Xueliang quiet down. He sat on the chair and pondered for a long time before he said reluctantly: "Then, then transfer the Northeast Army to check the inside and outside of the vicinity of Tongguan, and then go back."

Wu Xiaoliang smiled indifferently, noncommittal.Suddenly Zhang Xueliang's adjutant hurriedly pushed the door in, "Jun Zuo, Jun..."

When the adjutant realized that there was still Wu Xiaoliang in the carriage, he stopped abruptly after speaking halfway.Zhang Xueliang's face was a little embarrassed, and he reprimanded: "What is hesitating, I and Chairman Wu are inseparable, you just say it!"

"Xi'an clear-coded telegram, say, say..." The adjutant hesitated, but couldn't help but glance at Wu Xiaoliang before saying, "Xi'an [-]th Division sealed off the inside and outside, and an anomaly was transferred to Tongguan..."

Zhang Xueliang was taken aback again, looked at Wu Xiaoliang who had been smiling at him, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Brother Weizhong is more thoughtful and sees the opportunity quickly. By the time Xueliang makes amends, there will be chaos in the rear, and the black hands behind the scenes may have escaped and disappeared long ago."

What followed was a long and awkward silence, only the locomotive in the distance was emitting white steam, the locomotive was ordered to stop but did not turn off, and was ready to start moving forward at any time.At midnight, the telegraph finally rang. The confidential secretary pushed open the door of the carriage. The interior of the carriage was dimly lit and smoky. Yan's calm and thoughtful appearance was different, and Zhang Xueliang breathed heavily, and would touch his face from time to time.

"Junzuo, the [-]th Division has called, and they have fully grasped the route along Tongguan, so you can pass with confidence!"

It takes less than half an hour to reach Tongguan with a distance of twenty or thirty miles.From a long distance, you can see that the searchlights on Tongguan City are brightly illuminated, illuminating everything for miles around.

Dong Haibin's actions were very quick, and the well-trained Shandong Army was really extraordinary. Zhang Xueliang was deeply moved by this. He always thought that his Northeast Army was second to none in the whole country. , there is a sky beyond the sky.

Dong Haibin's riding boots creaked on the ground, and with a command knife hanging on his belt, he came to Wu Xiaoliang and gave a vigorous military salute.

"Junzuo, the traffic from Tongguan to Xi'an is under control."

Wu Xiaoliang nodded and smiled, "Very good, thanks for your hard work!"

"Has the murderer been caught?"

Zhang Xueliang was more concerned about the murderer who caused the bombing, and asked with great concern.

"Catched, a total of three people, one was killed, two were captured alive, one was slightly injured, and one was seriously injured and unconscious!"

"Have you ever been interrogated?" Zhang Xueliang asked further.

Dong Haibin replied respectfully: "I have been interrogated twice, and the murderer is very tight-lipped. He only admits that he did it all!"

This is obviously not the truth. Wu Xiaoliang originally did not intend to interrogate the black hands behind the scenes immediately. He was more concerned about the situation in Xi'an and even in Shaanxi as a whole.The current situation is turbulent, and we have to be cautious, and we must not give up even if we are struggling. This is not just a matter of sailing against the current or retreating.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang discussed the transfer of the Northeast Army's garrison in Shaanxi, and transferred a part of the Northeast Army stationed in Lintong to Weinan and Huayin respectively. These two places firmly controlled the Longhai Line from Tongguan to Xi'an. Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army was in charge of the garrison. Wu Xiaoliang's suggestion made him very confused.

But this "suggestion" Zhang Xueliang had no way to refuse, and immediately ordered his accompanying subordinates to send a report to Lintong, ordering the Northeast Army gathered in Lintong to station at a traffic point along the Longhai Line.It's just that this is not aimed at the Northeast Army, it is to guard against Yang Hucheng.

However, Zhang Xueliang's ambiguous attitude towards Yang Hucheng was full of doubts. After such a big incident, Yang Hucheng was sitting peacefully in the city of Xi'an, not even a little bit of movement, isn't it too unusual?
