……

In the evening, outside the county seat of Lezhi in the central part of the Sichuan Basin, a mighty army that could not be seen at a glance was pouring in continuously through the kilometers outside the county seat.The soldiers of this army wore simple military uniforms made of homespun cloth, bamboo hats on their heads, and straw sandals on their feet. Most of them carried a crude Sichuan-made rifle on their shoulders.At first glance, you can tell that it is the dress of the Sichuan Army, the army's central army, a slider is carried by a few strong soldiers, and a white and fat man sits on it, wearing a long gown and wearing a sun visor on his head. He held a folding fan in his hand and fanned the wind gently.From the look on his face, he seemed to be quite relaxed, and he couldn't tell at all that he had just suffered a defeat.He is Yang Sen, the big villain in the Battle of Pingchuan.Now he is leading his troops back to his hometown of Chengdu. Originally, he wanted to go for a tour of Zigong, but after receiving a letter from Brother Pao who was stationed in Shunqing, he changed his marching direction and returned to his hometown of Chengdu.

Now Yang Sen still has nearly 8 divisions and a strong force of almost 8 people on hand. He is definitely the second largest force in Central Sichuan besides the Kuomintang.Although he was defeated, Yang Sen, who was always optimistic by nature, didn't take it seriously. He was still full of confidence in the future, and chatted with Huang Yucheng, a high-ranking senator by his side, about major events in Central Sichuan.

"Grand Fei, we are only two hundred miles away from Chengdu, so we shouldn't have a problem getting ahead of the Kuomintang, right?" Yang Sen had changed his name from what he called "rebels against the party" now, he waved his fan and said again : "This Crystal Monkey (Deng Xihou) and Tian Donggua put up a sign to aid the Shaanxi National Army. They also said that it was the Kuomintang. I don't know which faction it is from? They want to help Shaanxi, and we also want to help Shaanxi. I don't know if I and the Did they go all the way?"

"Hui Shuai was joking." Huang Yucheng looked a little terrified, after all, he was on the run now!He sighed, and said, "Wu Xintian is what we want to aid, and Yang Huchen is what they want to aid. I'm afraid that if we support the Shaanxi Army in Sichuan, we will be divided into two!"

"Hahaha." Yang Sen suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Crystal Monkey and Tian Donggua will fight to the death for Yang Huchen and me? Why are they going to aid Shaanxi? They clearly want to stay in Sichuan under this brand to avoid the KMT's reorganization That's all."

Hearing Yang Sen's analysis, Huang Yucheng's face brightened a little, he said: "We have [-] people, we are not afraid of Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao standing in the way, but we are afraid of the Kuomintang's pursuers and their flanking attack."

"No." Yang Sen looked at his chaotic Gao Shen, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fei is in chaos. How could he not understand such a simple truth? , that may be a problem, but what kind of national army they are now, it sounds like Feng Yuxiang's brand, maybe it has something to do with the Communist Party. The Kuomintang has long regarded Sichuan as its basic territory and will not allow them to share the profits .Now I am only worried about the food and clothing of these 8 brothers and me after leaving Sichuan, there are [-] people! Where can I find a land of abundance like Sichuan to raise them?"

Although there are more than 8 counties in Hanzhong, it cannot be compared with Sichuan after all. Raising an army of [-] is simply a dream, and Wu Peifu in Henan has less than [-] troops, right?How can you support your own [-] people?Thinking of this, Yang Sen, who is always optimistic, can't help but grow a face and become sad.

"Report!" A staff officer galloped all the way from behind on a horse, as if there was an urgent military situation.

"What's the matter?" Huang Yucheng looked at the young staff officer nervously, for fear of hearing any news of the approaching pursuers from him.

"Report, a person who claimed to be the leader of the Youth Party, Li Huang, chased after our rear team and asked to see Hui Shuai, saying that he could find a way out for us."

Youth Party, Li Huang?Yang Sen and Huang Yucheng looked at each other, wondering who are these guys?Isn't it troublesome enough to have the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?Why is there another Youth Party?But there is still a way out.

"Please." Yang Sen hesitated for a while, but decided to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Seeing you, maybe there is a way?

Chapter 0193 grab money, grab territory (three)

"Lai Xinhui is dispatched." Yan Wu trotted into the command room with the latest telegram in his hand.

"Okay, as long as he moves." Luo Yaoguo stood in front of the large military map and snorted softly: "Order the 28th Division to station in Luzhou, the 26th Division to take over Suining, and the 27th Division to march into Da County." This morning The 29th Division of the Eighth Army under the command of Yang Jie has already arrived in Chongqing. Now Luo Yaoguo has decided to hand over the defense of Chongqing to He Yaozu's 29th Division, and at the same time transfer the three divisions of Dan Nugang to three places respectively.

But Nu Gang is a veteran of the Kuomintang and the second in command of Xiong Kewu's Nine-member Regiment. Luo Yaoguo, the commander of his Tenth Army, cannot be taken away, but he can transfer his three divisions and separate them, leaving a bare military headquarters in Chongqing. There is nothing more to do, and the artillery regiment, supply regiment, and engineer regiment directly under the military headquarters are all directly subordinate to the artillery, joint logistics, and engineer headquarters, and only one secret service regiment is the direct descendant of Dan Nugang.

"Order to reorganize the First Sichuan Army into the Eastern Sichuan Garrison Command, the Second Sichuan Army into the Sichuan Border Garrison Command, and the Third Sichuan Army into the Western Sichuan Garrison Command. All three headquarters belong to the Sichuan Garrison Command. (Lv Chao), Liu Xiang, and Lai Xinhui are respectively appointed as the commanders of the Eastern Sichuan, Western Sichuan, and Sichuan Border Guards."

On June 1925, 6, a new order was issued from the Chongqing camp, and the three armies of the Sichuan Army of the Kuomintang were reorganized into three garrison headquarters, which belonged to the Sichuan garrison general headquarters.Among the three armies, Lu Chao's first army was originally from the Kuomintang Industrial Corps, and they had never been on good terms with Xiong Kewu. Now they are naturally full of joy to get the commander of the Eastern Sichuan Garrison.Liu Xiang's three Sichuan armies were at both ends of the battle in Pingchuan, and they were overjoyed to get the western Sichuan garrison commander, but Lai Xinhui's Sichuan border garrison commander looked like he was trying to punish people.Not to mention that the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous and there is no oil or water. What is more troublesome is that this land has been reserved by Liu Wenhui. Now Liu Wenhui's army has raided Liu Chengxun's army and is advancing towards the river.Liu Wenhui's strength is far greater than Lai Xinhui's. What does the garrison commander ask Lai Xinhui to do?

After getting the news, Xiong Kewu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly drove to Chongqing for a camp to negotiate with Luo Yaoguo.This was also the first time Luo Yaoguo met Xiong Kewu after he became the director of the Chongqing camp.

The meeting was held in the conference room of the Chongqing camp. The faces of the two were not very good-looking. After a few casual greetings, Xiong Kewu first got straight to the point. He said: "Brother Fuwen seems to be a bit hasty in the arrangement of the Sichuan army this time. Lu Hanqun took office. That’s all for eastern Sichuan, why should the Garrison Commander of Western Sichuan give it to Liu Xiang? What credit does he have for getting such a fat job? But Lai Xinhui is going to suffer by the edge of Sichuan?”

Xiong Kewu didn't expect that Luo Yaoguo would come up with this move, using the three garrison headquarters to reorganize the three armies of the Sichuan Army into a security regiment, and Lu Chao and Liu Xiang had already declared their obedience after being appointed.In this way, Lai Xinhui was forced to go to Liangshan, and there was no good way out whether to obey or resist.

"Mr. Jin misunderstood." Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and said, "Sichuan is a special zone, and sooner or later it will be upgraded to Xikang Province. At that time, the commander of the Sichuan border security will be the security commander of Xikang, and his official position will be higher than that of the western Sichuan security commander."

"But what do you ask Liu Ziqian (Liu Wenhui) to do? He has already found me through the representative to surrender, and I have already agreed. Chuanbian will be his defense zone." Xiong Kewu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on Luo Yaoguo, as if he was on fire.This time he teamed up with Wang Jingwei, originally thinking that at least half of Sichuan could be preserved, but Luo Yaoguo used his authority as the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing camp and Sichuan garrison to transfer all the three divisions of the Tenth Army, which had not listened to Xiong Kewu's words very much. Lai Xinhui's army should be driven to the edge of the river.So what else does he have to do as the provincial chairman?

"I plan to recommend Liu Zigan to serve as the Supervisor of Chuanbian and the Chairman of Xikang Province in the future. He will just partner with Lai Dexiang." Luo Yaoguo still had a faint smile on his face, this arrangement has actually been prepared long ago.

"No." Xiong Kewu slapped the table heavily, and said angrily, "You can't arrange it like this. We have many brothers in the Sichuan army, and the defense zone system cannot be canceled now. Lai Dexiang's troops must either enter Chengdu or return to Luzhou, and will never go to Sichuan. "

"Go to Chengdu?" Luo Yaoguo looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Did Mr. Jin think that Yang Zihui's 8 people were made of mud? Lai Dexiang can go if he wants to go. As long as he can take down Chengdu, I will appoint him as the commander of Chengdu's security. The old escort."

"You!" Xiong Kewu was at a loss for words, and after a long time he sighed softly: "Then let Lai Dexiang go back to Luzhou, will this work for the head office?"

"There is no problem returning to Luzhou, but he still has to be the commander of the Sichuan border guard." Luo Yaoguo looked at Xiong Kewu and said with a smile, "Didn't Lai Dexiang be a frontier guard in the past? Why not stay in Luzhou all the time? Well, Lai Dexiang's defense area remains the same." How about changing the designation of his unit to the Chuanbian Garrison Command, and then go to Chuanbian after Liu Ziqian leaves? But Liu Zigan's Zigong and Xufu must be handed over, otherwise he will have too much territory, and Chuanbian is now You can give it to him, I recommend him to be the supervisor of Chuanbian. Please let Mr. Jin inform him."

……

Yang Sen looked suspiciously at this young man who was less than 30 years old in the early stage. He was indeed a young man, no wonder it was called "Youth Party".The conditions put forward by the other party are also outrageous. They say that they can get Yang Sen's military salary, weapons and ammunition, and he can also get him an official position as the governor of Gansu. The condition is that the Youth Party and Yang Sen cooperate, and the Youth Party also has [-] troops. I will come to meet them soon, and then go out together.

Now they were riding two Sichuan horses side by side, walking slowly in the middle of the marching team.Yang Sen's army was marching overnight in order to hurry.

Li Huang's proposal had not been discussed with Luo Yaoguo, but Zeng Qi's agreement was obtained through telegram.Taking advantage of the moonlight, he looked at the tired Yang Sen and said with a smile, "Has Hui Shuai considered it?"

"Why should I believe you?" Yang Sen looked at the other party hesitantly, not knowing how true the other party's words were, and if it was true, it would be a way out.

"Hehe, it's not easy." Li Huang smiled slightly: "In two days our army will join you with a batch of weapons, and we will know the truth by then."

"How could they agree to let you develop in the northwest? Are you not afraid that you will grow up in the northwest?" Yang Sen still didn't believe the other party's words.

"The KMT now has their own little calculations. They have won the most affluent province in China. They don't want to step into the quagmire of the north for the time being, but they don't want a unified regime in the north to threaten them." Li Huang looked at The northwest direction sighed: "Hui Shuai, think about it, if we fight to the death in the north, and they recharge their batteries in the south, ten years later, who will own the world?"

"It's a good plan!" Yang Sen nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Then how much are they going to pay for us to go to the north to muddy the water?"

"We haven't talked to him about your matter yet." Li Huang didn't hide anything from Yang Sen. He smiled slightly and said, "It happened suddenly, I hope Hui Shuai can understand. But it's still worth getting 3000 to [-] million from the Kuomintang every year." There is no problem, it is enough for us to develop in the northwest."

As for whether Luo Yaoguo will support the cooperation between the Youth Party and Yang Sen, Li Huang has enough confidence. After all, it is too few to rely on Wang Zijian's troops to conquer the entire Northwest. If Yang Sen is recruited again, this strength will be greatly enhanced .As for how to control Yang Sen, that is a matter for the Youth Party. The Kuomintang doesn't care at all. In fact, it doesn't matter if Yang Sen is supported to rule the Northwest.

Chapter 0194 new friends, new layout (a)

The prison in Chongqing City is now temporarily requisitioned by the Kuomintang's Chongqing Camp to detain the generals of the Sichuan Army captured in the Pingchuan War.Among them, the two division commanders, Yuan Baoer (Yuan Baochu) and Yang Hanyu, were the most official and the largest. Both of them were captured by the rude Guangxi soldiers and thrown into this dark, damp, musty and foul-smelling cell.

"Jichao, this is Death Row!" Yuan Baoer's chubby face twitched, he really saw the big characters "Death Row", uh, I saw it in a dream last night, two pea-sized teardrops were on the Bao'er's eyes rolled twice, but she still couldn't hold back and rolled down.

Yang Hanyu glanced at the somewhat silly "friend in distress", and snorted lightly: "Baochu, even if he dies, we can't lose the face of our heroes in Sichuan. Besides, they have captured many people in their conquests over the years. , I haven’t heard of any beheadings, so at most I’ll give you some money.”

Yuan Bao'er looked at the accommodation environment, wiped away tears, and smiled wryly: "This is really thrown in such a place, I really didn't expect it, I thought it was house arrest at most, and I could find some fans to accompany the night."

If it was the Sichuan Army Civil War, basically house arrest was not soft, and the leader of the winning side would comfort the opponent according to the rules, saying that it was nothing special, that the soldiers disarmed, and I asked you to be a senior adviser, etc.I didn't expect Luo Yaoguo to be so serious here, he was put in prison, and the food was too poor.

Picking up something that looked like a steamed bun, which was harder than a rock, Yuan Baoer's brows became even tighter, how can I eat this!Are these Kuomintang reactionaries too stingy?Even if you want to be shot, you have to give him a good meal, right?

"Yang Hanyu, Yuan Baochu, congratulations!" This was probably the voice of the jailer.With a bang, the big iron gate was opened, and a few gendarmes came in, followed by an officer.

"Are you Yang Hanyu, Yuan Baochu?" The officer glanced at the two prisoners who were in a state of distress, and said, "You two come with me."

What does this mean?Seeing the gendarmes armed with live ammunition, Yang Hanyu and Yuan Baochu's heart skipped a beat.Really going to be shot?

"Sir, I want to ask you something." Yuan Baoer took a deep breath of the stale air mixed with the musty smell, leaned over to the young officer, tried to smile, and said, "Where is this taking us?"

"I don't dare to be an officer." The officer also smiled and replied, "Take the two commanders to Huangshan to meet someone." Huangshan is not the one in Anhui, but a mountain on the south bank of Chongqing. There are several summer villas. It's midsummer, and some important people will leave Chongqing, the hot stove, to live there for a while.

Not shot?Yuan Baochu's heart was still pounding. Wasn't that what Huangshan was in the wilderness?Isn't it a good place to shoot people?And now it seems to be afternoon, when we got there, the moon was dark and the wind was high——

"Baochu, let's go." Yang Hanyu pulled his companion who was still in a daze, and said with a smile: "It's a blessing or a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Let's go with them. Is it Luo Yaoguo who wants to see us or the Lord of the Underworld? We're left to our fate."

……

This villa was originally newly built by the Party Headquarters of Sichuan Province. It is located in the Huangshan Scenic Area of ​​Chongqing. The environment is very good and it is a holy place for summer vacation.After the general situation of the Battle of Pingchuan was decided, Luo Yaoguo took the main officials and family members of the camp to Huangshan Mountain, lived in the villa provided by the party headquarters, and began to enjoy life.It seems that he is not the kind of revolutionary who worries about the country and the people, but a corrupt bureaucrat who is greedy for comfort and pleasure.

In the dining room of the Huangshan Villa, a large round table had been set up with some refreshments on it. Luo Yaoguo, Wang Zixing, Du Yuming, Hu Zongnan and others who had just rushed back from the front were sitting around, drinking tea and chatting about important matters.

"Your youth party is sure you want to cooperate with Yang Zihui?" Luo Yaoguo took a sip of tea, looked at Wang introspection, and looked forward to his explanation.

"Teacher, our party believes that it is impossible to win the Northwest in a short period of time with our small number of troops alone, so we hope to cooperate with Yang Sen." Wang Zixing adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "And our party thinks that We can control Yang Sen's army, and as long as the finances and arms are in our hands, we can gradually reform them." This seems to be the method Luo Yaoguo used to reform the top soldiers of the Kuomintang, and the Youth Party is really good at learning.
