The Republic of Heroes

Yang Hucheng originally defected to Jiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing briefly in early November 1928, but the situation changed later, and the northern part of the Yellow River Basin was quickly controlled by the Shandong Army headed by Wu Xiaoliang. In January of 11, he turned to defect to Jiang and voted for Wu Xiaoliang. In just three months, he even changed the three masters. Among them, Jiang Zhongzheng was the most angry, because after he surrendered to Yang Hucheng, he took the rare effort to put his 1929st division It was reorganized into the 1th Division, and a large number of new equipment was produced at the same time.

Unexpectedly, before the white-eyed wolf was fully raised, he voted for Wu Xiaoliang again, but Jiang Zhongzheng was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. He put a lot of effort into reorganizing Yang Hucheng's army at the beginning, because he had high hopes for him, and he was counting on him to restrain him. Wu Xiaoliang, on the other hand, could use him to deal with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, but in the end, he lost his wife and lost his army, and everyone would be furious.

After Yang Hucheng voted for Wu Xiaoliang, he took the opportunity to expand his army and changed its designation to No.17 Route Army. It seems that Wu Xiaoliang has become the biggest winner.

However, whether Yang Hucheng was under Feng Yuxiang's command or joined Jiang Zhongzheng and Wu Xiaoliang, it was all to preserve himself. Wu Xiaoliang first transferred Zhang Xueliang to Shanxi, and then transferred Dong Haibin's No.17 Division. There is not much left in his living space, especially as time goes by, the pressure from the Red Army in northern Shaanxi also makes him feel anxious.

The enemy on the battlefield is desperately fighting with real swords and guns, but the Red Army is best at psychological warfare. Every time it disintegrates from the inside, it has been tossing since the rebellion began a few months ago with regiments and battalions as units. He was in a state of desperation, and it was precisely because of this that he acquiesced to the fact that Zhang Xueliang and Dong Haibin had entered Shaanxi. Firstly, he was powerless to resist, and secondly, he could let these two people share the pressure from northern Shaanxi for him. .

However, Yang Hucheng never expected that Wu Xiaoliang sent Zhang Xueliang and Dong Haibin here just to make a front stop, but the real big move was behind, a large-scale westward retreat plan, and a large number of people and resources poured into Shaanxi continuously. , He even felt the pressure of life and death, but he was on the boat and couldn't help but quit halfway.

Now that Wu Xiaoliang came to Shaanxi in person, he obviously had big plans, otherwise why would he take the risk himself.

Especially this time to suppress the rebellion, Wu Xiaoliang even extended his tentacles into him. Yang Hucheng couldn't help but be vigilant, so he raised his eyebrows coldly. The giant was thousands of miles away because of a cautious and hostile attitude. The Seventh Division did help him put down the rebellion, otherwise, the new division with nearly ten thousand people might not be able to keep it.

After Wu Xiaoliang learned Yang Hucheng's attitude towards Dong Haibin's department, in order to avoid accidents, he ordered Dong Haibin's department to withdraw southward and return to the south of the Wei River, which eased the simmering situation again.

Yang Hucheng's arrogant attitude naturally aroused the great vigilance of Wu Xiaoliang's entourage. They suspected that Yang Hucheng was the mastermind of the two explosions. Some people even suggested that directly trapping Yang Hucheng would be just enough to swallow this annoying lice-like Seventeen road army.

However, it was clear that Wu Xiaoliang did not agree to completely annihilate Yang Hucheng's Seventeenth Route Army. On the second day after entering Xi'an, he called a meeting of all senior military and political officials in Shaanxi to discuss how to build Shaanxi into an anti-Japanese base for the entire Yellow River Basin.

However, many military and political officials who belonged to the former Northwest Army, as they had discussed, almost all said that they could not come back.

Seeing Yang Hucheng's current attitude, Zhang Xueliang also began to suspect that this person was the mastermind behind the two failed bombings.

The troika lacked a leg, and without Yang Hucheng of the [-]th Route Army, there was no need for this meeting. After all, Yang Hucheng had tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, so it was so difficult that someone had to tie him back, of course. can't.

This meeting could only end hastily, Zhang Xueliang reminded Wu Xiaoliang worriedly.

"Brother Weizhong, Yang Hucheng is reflexive. Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Zhongzheng are being played and applauded by him. His current position is very doubtful. The current situation seems to have pushed him too far. He has long been wary and hostile. In this case, it is better to cut the mess quickly, trap him and declare the crime and shoot him immediately, so that the Seventeenth Route Army will fall down and the monkeys will be scattered, and the situation in Shaanxi will be safe in a blink of an eye.”

In all fairness, Zhang Xueliang's suggestion is indeed a good solution once and for all, and this suggestion is also in line with Zhang Xueliang's consistent style and code of conduct. In a chaotic warlord world, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish. There is nothing to criticize, but Wu Xiaoliang's The idea is not just to wipe out everyone else, but only his family.

In fact, Wu Xiaoliang might have adopted Zhang Xueliang's method if there was no major premise of the Japanese invaders. However, the general trend is to unite all forces and unite against Japan. died.

"Hanqing, the plan of the troika cannot be lost, Yang Hucheng can still win it, and..." Wu Xiaoliang changed the subject at this point, his tone became serious, and suddenly said: "And the mastermind of the two explosions has been investigated. Clear……"

Zhang Xueliang didn't expect Wu Xiaoliang's subordinates to be so efficient, and they had a clue in just one day.

"Who is it? Yang Hucheng is still Japanese."

"Japanese."

Wu Xiaoliang spat out three words one by one.

This result is not surprising at all. The Japanese benefit the most from doing this.

"Hanqing, Yang Hucheng has ulterior motives and ulterior motives, but it is also for self-protection and to ensure that his interests are not infringed. This is human nature. The key now is to let him know that the policy of moving to the west will not If his interests are affected, and it is possible to get more, the obstacles in front of the Seventeenth Route Army will naturally disappear."

"That's the truth, but this person is very cunning, if he doesn't beat him well, he will inevitably blow his hair again in the future."

Wu Xiaoliang smiled and said nothing, beating is naturally necessary, but not now, time is running out, he wants to complete the integration of all forces in Shaanxi within half a month, because the national reconciliation conference will be held in half a month day.

At that time, perhaps most of Wu Xiaoliang's energy will be involved in the anti-Japanese war. At this time, he deeply feels that there are too few people available around him, and those who follow him are good at fighting, but it is not enough to engage in rear construction. up.

When he was in a state of desperation, he thought of a person,
