Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 367 Powder Keg

Mei Ting glanced at Tang Qiuli in shock. This was the first time for her to attend this kind of private occasion for local officials. She was obviously shocked by Zhang Xueliang's words. She had never heard anyone dare to

To evaluate Chairman Chiang like this and dare to say such treacherous words, is this a crime of beheading?

Tang Qiuli quietly held the girl's hand, and found that her palms were cold, covered in cold sweat, and trembling slightly. Knowing Zhang Xueliang's words, she was frightened. What Zhang Xueliang said in his heart, Tang Qiuli was not the first

Hearing this once, if it were him, he would not say this publicly on such an occasion.

Zhang Xueliang has long been thinking about his own way of survival. Zhang Xueliang is a sweet-tempered person with a frank and straightforward personality. He is a person who can be a true close friend. Perhaps it is this kind of personality that led to his glorious legend and the rest of his life under house arrest and claustrophobia.

In his life, he was an important role on the stage of this era, but ended in tragedy.

Yan Xishan laughed and broke the dull atmosphere. He patted Zhang Xueliang on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Han Qing, Chairman Chiang has his own ideas. Just persuasion is useless. We have to think about it for ourselves, and also

You have to find a way on your own, ah!"

Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up, he grabbed Yan Xishan's hands and said emotionally: "Brother Baichuan, you are really my confidant, we are fellow travelers, and with your words, Han Qing knows what to do!"

Perhaps Yan Xishan's words were another inducement for the Xi'an Incident. Zhang Xueliang believed that the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army in Shaanxi, plus the Jin Army of Yan Xishan in Shanxi, and the 29th Army of Qiu Li's brother in the Pingjin area

Together with the North China Army Division, these forces combined, the thirty divisions of the Central Army are not to be feared.

Yan Xishan's attitude has been made clear. Brother Qiu Li, do you still need to talk? They are basically on the same road. With the combined strength of these three parties, Chairman Chiang has to weigh the pros and cons, right?

Tang Qiuli disagreed. He saw a trace of cunning on Yan Xishan's face. This commander Yan had absolutely no good impression of the Central Army and the Red Army. He only cared about his own interests in Shanxi. As long as the Red Army could not reach the Yellow River,

, it has nothing to do with Yan Xishan.

You, Chiang Kai-shek, and the Red Army, fight to the death, just to avenge the Red Army's Eastern Expedition at the beginning of this year.

Today's private banquet is just to get a feel for the ins and outs of these people with heavy military capabilities. After all, the ins and outs of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are probably about the same. Only Tang Qiuli doesn't say much and doesn't make any comments.

He is enigmatic, drinks lightly, listens lightly, and is as slippery as a glass ball. Until now, I still don’t know his true thoughts.

After all, he wants to use weapons. The attitude of these three people is the standard for his actions. Now it seems that Zhang Yang will definitely not be able to do this. Tang Qiuli's troops are still far away from northern Shaanxi if they want to take action! This time, old Chiang Kai-shek

The encirclement and suppression plan is still very difficult. The troops and horses have not moved, and the generals are distracted. Is it possible to fight this battle? Don't rush to do it first. Let's take a look!

After finding out the truth, he no longer had the interest to drink anymore. After breaking up with Zhang Yang and Yan Xishan, he unexpectedly met Dai Li in the lobby of the hotel.

Dai Li greeted him warmly, his eyes no longer as bright as yesterday. After taking a look at Mei Ting, he affectionately hugged Tang Qiuli's shoulders like an old friend. This move was very inconsistent with Dai Li's character. If it were anyone else,

You will be shocked when you see it.

Then he lowered his voice and deliberately said behind Mei Ting's back: "Deputy Commander Tang, you plucked a flower from our military command, hid it in a dark room, and enjoyed all the happiness, but you didn't even say hello to me, the director of the military command bureau? Change that.

I’m treating you to a guest today, so I should make amends!”

Dai Li told the truth as a joke, not only warning Tang Qiuli but also giving him a reason to change things. Tang Qiuli secretly admired that this spy leader was not only vicious in his methods, but also very capable in his words. He could only use

Smile in response.

Later, Dai Li said: "Deputy Commander Tang, did you make a fortune in Dingbian? It must be extremely difficult to win a piece of territory in the mouth of the Communist Party?"

After saying that, he stared at Tang Qiuli to see how he would respond.

Tang Qiuli felt a shiver in his heart. The big spy chief knew about the Dingbian incident, and the Sanma incident could not be concealed from him. He was wondering if he had any private dealings with the Red Army, just like Zhang Yang.

Tang Qiuli's face straightened. There must be no ambiguity in such a question. Otherwise, Boss Dai would definitely smell something. If he didn't retaliate, he would not be allowed to beat himself at any time, and he would be subject to this guy's behavior at any time.

gas?

"Director Dai, what did you say? What kind of fortune can be made in the bitter cold of Dingbian? As for the three horses, that is our private deal. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Chairman Chiang did not even bother to ask, Dai

Is the director too worried?"

"To seize the territory from the ***, it was done by my *** brothers with real swords and guns. Of course it was not easy. It was in exchange for the lives of the brothers. I did not eat them all**

With *'s ability, *** didn't have the strength to drive me out of Dingbian, so I just froze there. I had to worry about *** sneak attacks all day long. Unlike Director Dai, he didn't have to lead his troops into battle to win over Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

I don’t dare to underestimate you, Director Dai!”

Dai Li was stunned. Tang Qiuli's words were beyond his expectation. He was holding a gun and a stick, and he had a hidden meaning. He was intimidating his false words and did not buy it. He originally wanted to knock something out of him, but was instead

He choked.

This person was either innocent or had someone to rely on. In fact, Dai Li also used his own experience and professional sensitivity to guess Tang Qiuli's behavior in Dingbian, and the matters between Sanma and Tang Qiuli. Dai Li simply did not

I didn't think it was a big deal.

It was nothing more than a gangster attack, but Tang Qiuli's ability to capture and hold Dingbian made him quite suspicious. Chairman Chiang's million-strong army had been fighting for nearly ten years, and he knew exactly how the war would turn out.

, but Tang Qiuli’s result seemed different.

This person is difficult to deal with, he is very confident, and he is not afraid of himself at all, Dai Li thought to himself.

Without a reason to argue with this new rich man, Dai Li changed his mind very quickly. He laughed and said: "Deputy Commander Tang, don't forget, you still owe me a drink!"

After saying that, he turned around and told Mei Ting: "Work well next to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang. He is a popular person next to the Chairman, and his future is limitless!" He looked like a boss, then waved goodbye and left with a smile as usual.

.

Tang Qiuli was so impressed that he was a master of secret service. He was a master of secret service. He could ignore the truth and the lie, the truth and the lie, and the difficult ball. He was not competitive and had to advance and retreat at the right time. When dealing with such people, you have to fight.

Be very careful.

Mei Ting asked Tang Qiuli nervously, what did Director Dai say to him? Tang Qiuli smiled and told Mei Ting that Director Dai and I made some jokes, and I responded to him. Mei Ting did not ask further questions, obviously not

Completely believe what he says.

In Luoyang, where the Northwest Suppression Headquarters is located, a group was busy and busy, drumming up drums and sharpening their knives. The Central Army troops from all walks of life marched towards the designated areas in accordance with Wei Lihuang's battle plan, as if a war was imminent.

Tang Qiuli did not dare to stay in Luoyang for too long, as it had become a place of right and wrong. On December 2, the 26th year of the Republic of China, Tang Qiuli and his party took a special plane and returned to Peiping from Luoyang.

This is a military transport plane specially arranged by Dai Li for Tang Qiuli. His reason is that as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, his own safety is more important than anything else. He has the responsibility to protect senior party and government officials. How dare he

It was careless, and the plane was left at Peking Nanyuan Airport, at the disposal of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang at any time.

Tang Qiuli could see that Dai Li wanted to show his kindness to him, but he didn't know whether it was his words last time that made Dai Li fearful, or whether he had other intentions. It is estimated that the latter is more likely. Mr. Dai, the dignified boss

, how can he be someone who can be frightened by just a few words?

As soon as she set foot on the ground in Peiping, Mei Ting was obviously much more relaxed, as if her master had returned to her hometown where she had lived for many years. Tang Qiuli sighed secretly. He felt some sympathy for those military commanders. Dai Li's many years of accumulated prestige made him feel more relaxed.

Everyone in the military command has a lingering shadow in their hearts.

Subsequently, all units of the Central Army have been deployed and have all arrived at the designated attack departure area. The former enemy commander-in-chief Wei Lihuang has also arrived at the former enemy headquarters to perform his duties.

It was learned that Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army and Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army did not make the slightest deployment for invasion and suppression. Instead, the troops withdrew dozens of kilometers from the front line in northern Shaanxi. Yan Xishan's Jin Army was also timid, moved slowly, and did not follow the combat instructions.

According to the plan, we crossed the Yellow River from Liulin to the west and approached Shaanxi and Gansu.

Due to the misfortune of the two armies, it was impossible to coordinate actions between the advancing and suppressing corps. The units of the Central Army that had been prepared were forced to withdraw to their original starting points and make new attack deployments.

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was furious after hearing the news. On December 4, the 26th year of the Republic of China, he led a large number of civil and military officials to fly to Xi'an in person to supervise the war. He located five rooms in the Huaqing Palace at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong, about 30 kilometers east of Xi'an.

The pavilion where you stay is also the Huaqing Pool where "the spring cold gives you a bath in the Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washes away the fat." The Huaqing Pool is where a generation of beauty Yang Yuhuan bathed.

Just after getting off the plane, regardless of the fatigue of the journey and without rest, Chairman Chiang urgently summoned Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. He was furious and forced them to declare when they would send troops. He also wanted to see with his own eyes the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army on the front line to suppress the Communists.

Only by shooting the police can you leave with peace of mind. Otherwise, you will never leave Xi'an.

And the Northeastern Army was immediately transferred to Fujian, and the Seventeenth Route Army was immediately transferred to Anhui to make way for the Central Army. The implication is that since you don't want to fight with the Communists, don't get in the way here, and give up the two places of Shaanxi and Gansu to the Central Army.

The army will give way. Without you, I will have an easier time annihilating the enemy.

Facing the furious Chairman Chiang, Zhang and Yang were speechless and full of things to say. Chairman Chiang in such a mood would not listen to any opinions and had no choice but to agree to mobilize the troops immediately when he returned.

Use excuses to delay and find other solutions.

Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng sat in relative silence for a long time after returning to Yang Hucheng's mansion in Zhiyuan Villa, Xi'an. At this point, there was no room for recovery. No one could shake Chairman Chiang's determination to wipe out the Red Army.

The life and death of the Northeastern Army and the Seventeenth Route Army depended on this thought. Should they be willing to be fish and meat and let others drive them, or should they find other ways to save themselves? Both of them had a bold idea in their minds.
