7.50 Heaven and earth are like chessboards, and you and I are in the game

Xu Zuyi first nodded to show that he was also optimistic about Huang Haoran's future in the military world, and then told Chief Li in a deep voice about his concerns:

"Degong, no matter what, Huang Youchen's 25th Group Army is the Central Army after all, and it is still the elite of the lineage in front of the commission, I am worried that after Huang Youchen becomes the deputy commander of the theater, the generals in the theater will have ideas......"

Before Chief Li could answer Xu Zuyi's question, Wang Hongshao next to him opened his mouth first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Wang Hongshao's view is just the opposite of Xu Zuyi, he believes that there is no fundamental contradiction between Huang Haoran and the generals of the "miscellaneous army" in the 5th theater, judging from Huang Haoran's previous consistent style, the relationship between him and the enemy generals is still relatively harmonious, and Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army also has several divisions whose predecessors are local troops?

Wang Hongshao's optimism did not dispel the worry in Xu Zuyi's heart, Xu Zuyi looked at Wang Hongshao and said: "It was before, and now it is now... Huang Youchen cooperated precisely with the local troops in Songhu and Nanjing, partly because he was still young at that time, and partly because he was forced by the situation! Let's take the Battle of Nanjing as an example, Huang Haoran faced the pressure of the Central China Front Army, and didn't he have a good relationship with the local troops!? ”

Seeing that Chief Li and Wang Hongshao nodded frequently, as if they agreed with their statement, Xu Zuyi changed his words and began to sound the alarm for Chief Li and Wang Hongshao!

"Let's see what Huang Haoran did after he withdrew to Anqing? When the 23rd Army Corps of the Sichuan Army left Anqing, it was less than half of its men! This has spread throughout the military world! I don't think I haven't heard of it, right? As far as I know, Huang Youchen had been to Lushan before coming to our 5th War Zone this time, and you still don't know what he was thinking? How could Wuhan let go of this good opportunity to mix sand with a ragtag army? ”

Wang Hongshao, who listened to the half of Xu Zuyi's words, had a cool air on his back! It is not a day or two that the highest authorities have ideas in the "miscellaneous army", and Huang Haoran went to Lushan District to listen to the "holy teachings" before coming to Xuzhou, and the things in this are very intriguing......

However, Wang Hongshao is still reluctant to accept Xu Zuyi's inference! is still trying to defend Huang Haoran, but now he seems a little lacking in confidence when he speaks:

"Brother Yan Mou means that Huang Youchen came to Xuzhou with a 'will'? If this is the case, the 25th Army should preserve its strength. But look at what Huang Youchen did after coming to the 5th war zone, it doesn't look like he is holding back his strength to annex friendly forces! The Battle of Huaihe was fought by Huang Haoran's troops, and the theater has not even replenished the battle losses of the 25th Group Army until now, and Huang Youchen has not even complained, I wonder if we are thinking too much......? ”

From a firm rebuttal to a questioning with doubts, Xu Zuyi knew that Wang Hongshao had listened to what he said, in fact, Xu Zuyi didn't want Huang Haoran to really be the sand sent by the highest authorities to the 5th war zone, although the northern and southern lines were temporarily calm, but the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops did not push away, and the powder keg of war still hung over Xuzhou!

The 25th Group Army has already shown strong combat capability, and Huang Haoran's command ability is very outstanding, so if such a person becomes the help of Chief Li, then the life of the 5th Theater will be much better!

is also based on the same reason, if Huang Haoran really came to Xuzhou with the "will" of the highest authorities to carry out annexation, then the life of the 5th war zone would become difficult!

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He! Although Wang Hongshao's bitter words moved him, Xu Zuyi's own heart was contradictory to death!

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression lasted for more than half a year, and the number of the Central Army became more and more. And what about the "motley" army? Defeated the reorganization, won the reorganization, and the casualties were too great! Pick up a copy of the unit number cancelled by the Military Commission and glance at it, almost all of it is "miscellaneous cards"!

I have to guard against it......!

Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao talked for a long time, but Chief Li never spoke. It is undeniable that what Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao said has a certain amount of truth, but the analysis is not comprehensive!

Chief Li had similar concerns to Xu Zuyi before, but in the end he came to the conclusion that the advantages of transferring the 25th Army to Xuzhou outweighed the disadvantages. That's why Chief Li put so much effort into Huang Haoran. You must know that none of the three requests made by Huang Haoran in Anqing are easy to do, if it were not for the fact that he had already made a decision in his heart, Chief Li would definitely not have agreed so happily in the telegram!

Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao both understand that Chief Li is the one who is the one who makes the decision in the 5th War Zone, and it seems that if they want to win or lose today, it depends on what Chief Li thinks in his heart.

"Degong! Huang Youchen's speech is coming! What are your plans, it's time to show your bottom down, right? ”

Wang Hongshao's qi cultivation kung fu is not as good as Xu Zuyi's, because it is related to whether the command system of the 5 th Theater can operate smoothly in the future, Wang Hongshao, the deputy chief of staff, hurriedly threw the problem to Chief Li.

Chief Li smiled, pointed his finger at Wang Hongshao and said:

"Shingo, Shingo! Yan Mou's question was originally aimed at me, but you couldn't hold your breath and grabbed it, and now you have to turn around and take me off if you don't win! Is there a staff chief like you? ”

Chief Li's jokes dissolved the solemnity in the room, and in Chief Li's opinion, the most goblin at the moment is that it is better to put these things on hold in his own national government.

"The importance of Xuzhou is very clear! Even if Huang Youchen had been to Lushan before, the discussion with the committee should be about the Battle of Xuzhou! I also heard about the 23rd Army being eaten by the 25th Army and 10,000 horses, that is, a division commander under Pan Wenhua took the initiative to join the 25th Army with his troops, which cannot be regarded as annexation by force! As soon as Liu Xiang died, the Sichuan army and Sichuan government had been completely eroded, and Wuhan and the committee would definitely not allow the existence of the Sichuan army! This Wanchuan army followed Huang Youchen, maybe there can be a better ending......"

Hearing Chief Li mention Liu Xiang, Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao's emotions became depressed again. In fact, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the thinking of the generals of the "miscellaneous army" was not so complicated, and they all thought that when the survival of the nation was at stake, the highest authorities should be able to put aside the contradictions between factions, right? But later facts proved that the generals of the "miscellaneous army" were too optimistic!

The methods used by the highest authorities against the Sichuan army silenced the "miscellaneous army"!!

On January 20, 1938, Sichuan tycoon Liu Xiang died in Hankou, leaving a will before his death, none of the testament was related to Liu Xiang personally, it was all sentences encouraging the Sichuan army soldiers to resist Japan:

"The War of Resistance to the end will always be unswerving, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to its hometown for a day!"

After Liu Xiang's will was passed into the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army on the front line, when the Sichuan army raised the flag every day, the officers and soldiers would recite it in unison to show their determination to resist the war to the end. On January 22, Lin Sen, chairman of the Wuhan government, issued a commendation and posthumously presented Liu Xiang as a first-class general, and all walks of life across the country mourned. I heard that the highest authorities will also issue an order to grant Liu Xiang a state funeral.

However, behind these seemingly heavy praises is a dark and cold truth!

During the days when Liu Xiang was seriously ill and went to the Wuhan hospital to recuperate, the officials who visited Liu Xiang noticed that there were many people in tunics patrolling around the wards and hospitals.

The military commander's statement to the outside world is that the government is worried that Liu Xiang will be assassinated by Japanese agents, so it sent so many people to protect Liu Xiang's safety. Clear-eyed people know that Liu Xiang on the sickbed is actually under the surveillance and house arrest of the military commanders, and he is in danger!

Liu Xiang's Sichuan military headquarters planned many times to take Liu Xiang back to Sichuan to recuperate, but they were all blocked by Dai Li's military commanders, and even Liu Xiang's special plane was damaged and crashed. As for the cause of Liu Xiang's death, it is also confusing! The Wuhan government's statement was that Liu Xiang had a stomach ulcer, but the generals of the Sichuan army insisted that Liu Xiang was poisoned by the military commanders!

After Liu Xiang's death, the Sichuan army suddenly lost its backbone. Deng Xihou asked the highest authorities to put the Sichuan army together and use it, but the highest authorities instead transferred Li Jiayu's 47th Army from the 22nd Group Army and sent it to Wei Lihuang's men. In this way, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen's 22nd Group Army was only left with about 20,000 remnants of defeated generals.

The Sichuan army itself, on the other hand, fell apart. After Liu Xiang's death, the highest authorities seized the opportunity to exert their tactics and disintegrate all parts of the Sichuan army. The four generals under Liu Xiang, in addition to Pan Wenhua, Wang Lingji, Tang Shizun, and Wang Zhanxu are now getting closer and closer to Wuhan. I believe that it will not be long before the "Sichuan Army" will disappear into the long river of history like the Northeast Army!

Seeing that Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao's faces were a little gloomy, Chief Li quickly changed the topic. Now that Huang Haoran has arrived in Xuzhou, there is no point in talking about these things anymore! Again, unless the highest authorities don't plan to go to Xuzhou, there shouldn't be any big problems!

The 25th Army only has tens of thousands of horses, but there are hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous cards in the 5th theater! Even if the highest authorities want Huang Haoran to do it, they have to weigh it before, right?

"Since the three of us all appreciate Huang Youchen very much, let's talk about our respective opinions on Huang Haoran! If there is a 'Five Tiger Generals' in Huangpu, there is naturally no problem in being shortlisted with Huang Haoran's military exploits...... 'Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang', Yan Mou! Shingo! Who do you think Huang Youchen looks like? ”

Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao naturally understood that Chief Li was relieved for them, so Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao both laughed, and the two of them humbled each other and waited for the other party to speak first.

Chief Li directly named Wang Hongshao's name, he wanted to see the hearts of his two chiefs of staff.

Wang Hongshao thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Huang Youchen sat in the position of deputy commander of the theater at a young age, and he was invincible on the battlefield, I think among the Huangpu generals, he is the only one who deserves the name of Zhao Yun!" ”

After listening to Wang Hongshao's words, Chief Li smiled and compared Huang Haoran to Zhao Yun, which can be seen that Wang Hongshao's temperament is still relatively direct, proficient in military affairs, but has no political talent. At least in terms of "knowing people", Wang Hongshao still lacks a lot of heat!

Xu Zuyi saw that Chief Li's body slowly turned to his side, and knew that it was time for him to speak: "Duke De!" I think Huang Haoran is not only good at marching and fighting, but also good at interpersonal communication, as soon as he spoke out in Anqing, Gu Mosan, Jiang Baili and even Degong and Bai Jiansheng became his help! Zhao Yun, he doesn't have such a ability! I see, Huang Youchen is more like Guan Yu guarding Jingzhou! He is a military and political all-rounder! I heard that he is also quite proficient in diplomacy and the international situation, if so, I am afraid that he will be a few points better than Guan Yunchang! ”

Chief Li still smiled and said nothing, Xu Zuyi is really a lot more sophisticated than Wang Hongshao, and he has gone beyond the military level to see Huang Haoran's political potential! It's a pity! Xu Zuyi began to see through people's hearts!

Guan Yunchang, that is the brother of Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, Liu Bei used Guan Yu but did not put Guan Yu by his side, in fact, he already regarded Guan Yu as a threat to himself, with Huang Haoran's current strength, he couldn't take on such a role! However, Chief Li himself is more like Guan Yunchang in the eyes of the highest authorities!

is a brother, an opponent, or a powerful prince, the highest authorities want Chief Li to be in Xuzhou, isn't it just that Chief Li is used but not by his side?

In fact, the highest authorities have always regarded Chief Li as his biggest threat, but he can't say it because of the pressure of the Japanese soldiers!

Thinking of this, a sneer hung on the corner of Chief Li's mouth!

Seeing Chief Li's expression, Xu Zuyi knew that his words were not in line with Chief Li's wishes, and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had already been excluded from the Five Tiger Generals, so only Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were left! Huang Haoran is slippery on the battlefield and officialdom, and there is really no resemblance to Zhang Fei! In this way, it's either Huang Zhong or Ma Chao!

Xu Zuyi just wanted to say his guess, but Chief Li suddenly opened his mouth!

"Don't look at Huang Youchen and Huang Zhong have the same surname, but they have no similarities! I think in the minds of the commission, Huang Youchen and the 'Jinma Chao' are very similar! Just as brave and good at fighting! Just as young and strong! It's the background, it's a little worse ......"

Chief Li's words made Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao confused! Huang Haoran is a serious 800-year-old Whampoa background, is there anything more reliable than his Whampoa students in the minds of the highest authorities?

Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao's expressions betrayed their mental activities, and Chief Li rubbed his palms with a smile, and then said:

"It's right to come from a famous family! It's a pity... The people under his hands are indeed a bunch of reckless! is like that Ma Mengqi, although he was born in a family, he brought a group of Qiang soldiers! After he voted for Shu, he was never reused, and Huang Youchen was the same, although his three brothers were all born in Huangpu, they did not make a name for themselves in the Central Army! If it is ugly to say, it is being squeezed out of the Central Army! The predecessor of the 99th Division was actually a local garrison brigade, and now all the horses of the 25th Group Army were gathered by Huang Youchen himself! There are almost no officers from Huangpu in the elite of this Central Army, and to put it bluntly, the 25th Group Army is a 'miscellaneous brand' in the lineage! Can Wuhan not worry about people from such backgrounds sitting in the position of commander of the theater of operations? I look at Huang Youchen's trip to Lushan, I'm afraid it was trembling all the way......"

After listening to Chief Li's words, Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao thought about it carefully and felt that Huang Haoran was really like Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms! Chief Li is worthy of being a figure feared by the highest authorities, and his vision for people is really unique!

"Degong! Aren't you afraid of forcing Huang Youchen to be Wei Yan? Such a good general can be met but not sought! ”

In their opinion, although the supreme authority is now the leader of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the whole country is far from reaching the level of unification of government decrees, Guangxi's 'Gui system' and Yunnan's Long Yun are relatively strong and powerful factions, if the supreme authorities repeatedly put pressure on Huang Haoran, then Huang Haoran is very likely to take his 25th Group Army to the southwest, I believe that Chief Li and Long Yun will not refuse the surrender of this good general......

Chief Li shook his head again, his gaze became deeper, Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao suddenly felt that they couldn't keep up with Chief Li's train of thought! What Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao have seen now is only the changes in three or five months, and Chief Li, I'm afraid it's been a few years since they saw it!

"Yan Mou, Shingo, the days of warlord melee will not appear again! This war of aggression launched by the Japanese has forced all the Chinese into a group! It's hard to separate again in the future! Any civil war is destined to be unpopular! If anyone wants to compete with the commission, I'm afraid they can only be in the political arena! Huang Youchen is not stupid, he will not fail to see this variable! I want to see how Huang Youchen, who has always been clean and self-conscious, finally pulled himself out of the entanglement of various forces! I'm really looking forward to it......"

In the end, Chief Li said that his words revealed the meaning of sympathy with Huang Haoran, and Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao next to him were suddenly shocked!

Although Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao are also very optimistic about Huang Haoran, they are far from reaching the level that Chief Li said! Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao sensed from Chief Li's words that Chief Li had already regarded Huang Haoran as a force that could influence the trend of the whole of China! But Chief Li went on to say that Huang Haoran did not seem to be involved in the chaos of the Republic of China!

Can anyone really stay out of the tide of this era?

You must know that heaven and earth are like a chessboard, and the world is a chess piece in the chessboard! Once you start, you can't leave the game! Even if Huang Haoran can really enter the world like a god and not eat the fireworks of the world, what about Huang Haoran's subordinates? Can it be so free?

Li Yuanhong didn't want to be president, but the new army in Hubei dragged Li Yuanhong out from under his aunt's bed and forced him to sit on the president's throne with a pistol!

How many people in this world can do what they want?

Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao both said that they were not optimistic that Huang Haoran would be able to survive in the turbidity of politics!

Or maybe they're jealous!

Chief Li didn't speak again, he paced to the sofa in the center of the room with his hands behind his back and sat down, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

Three people, six eyes, facing the door of the conference room. Later, from here, I will walk in a man of the year on the anti-Japanese battlefield!

Maybe in the future, he will be the man of the year in the entire Republic of China!

The heavy solid wood door was pushed open, and a staff officer wearing the rank of colonel walked in, saluted Chief Li, Xu Zuyi, and Wang Hongshao, and then said in a straight voice:

"Report the main seat and the two senators! The new deputy commander of the theater, Huang Haoran, has arrived!! ”

The echo came from far and wide in the corridor of the Xuzhou official residence, which completely woke up this ancient building......
