Xi'an, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, is considered a place of outstanding people and places. In the history of China, it is the only place that is uniquely the hometown of emperors. Xi'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi, with the Qinling Mountains to the south, the Loess Plateau with crisscrossed ravines to the north, and the easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack east side of the Loess Plateau. To the west of Tongguan is the vast and inaccessible Gobi Desert. Since ancient times, Xi'an has been regarded as an important place for military strategists.
Speaking of Shaanxi people, they also have remarkable characteristics. Since ancient times, Shaanxi people have been called Lengwa of Shaanxi. Shaanxi people are famous for their fierceness. No one dares to underestimate them. It is precisely because of this that although Shaanxi has had several military governors and governors Even the governor-general failed to fully control the entire Shaanxi. Today's Shaanxi is full of factions, and the situation is extremely complicated. Whether it is Yan Xishan, Ma Zhankui, Feng Yuxiang, Liu Xiang, or the National Army in Shaanxi, the so-called military forces entrenched in northern Shaanxi *, and Chen Shufan, the local Shaanxi landlord armed force, all were in intrigues and did not want to give in to each other, but they also restricted each other, and no one dared to take action rashly.
With those few notes, Ma Xingkong and Mu Yunchen imitated the orders to mobilize troops one by one, and started from Harbin all the way south. Incognito, under the money offensive, they entered Shanhaiguan. They reversed in Zhengzhou and headed straight to Xi'an. Ma Xingkong got off the train at Baqiao. Because the Longhai Railway is an extension of the Tongxi Railway, it only goes here. After riding the train for five or six days, he was stuck in the carriage all day, and his whole body felt uncomfortable. Because With Lao Hui's presence, Ma Xingkong was worried about causing some trouble and followed him closely.
Baqiao Station is a small station. When the train arrived, there were not many people left. Besides, the Shaanxi people were unwilling to go out because of the war and chaos outside. In the deserted station, a few lonely people looked at the Bahe River flowing north, and then went to the south. The looming Qinling Mountains. Mu Yunchen praised: "It's really a good place. When I get old, I will find a place to build a thatched cottage in the mountains to the south and learn from Tao Yuanming!"
Liu Wu smiled and said: "When you pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can leisurely see the Nanshan Mountain. This is fake. If you think about picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you should see the east when you look up. How can you see the mountains in the south? Tao Yuanming is one Liar, don’t believe his story about a paradise!”
Everyone laughed. Li Yong said: "Maybe someone turned around and saw it?"
"Go!" Long Jie said: "You know nothing, you know a few poems, learn from me, if you don't understand, don't mess around, so as not to make these people laugh!"
Yu Mu said: "It's possible what Brother Li said. Tao Yuanming loved chrysanthemums and liked to drink. Maybe he and he were drunk and mistook the south for the east, or maybe they mistook the east for the south. Shangkou, regardless of whether he is divided into the southeast, I really yearn for his character of being able to take things but letting them go. He abandoned his official position and went into seclusion. At that time, it was regarded as a sign of a scholar taking his own future!"
Mu Yunchen, Liu Wu, Yu Mu, and Han Xiaomo were all educated, and naturally they talked endlessly when talking about these things. Long Jie and Li Yong loved to join in the fun and follow a few people and occasionally say a few words, making everyone laugh. Laughing. Ma Xingkong led the great monk Tongming, Xiao Shunzi, and Jin Zhengcheng to have gone a long way. Looking back, they saw that several people were still discussing Tao Yuanming slowly.
Ma Xingkong shouted: "Don't dare to be a hermit. First, fill in the form of being alone. Look, it's going to be dark today. If we can't enter the city, some of us will sleep in Huangshan Mountain! Let's go!"
Although he hurriedly and slowly hurriedly hurried, he still failed to enter the city before dark. He had no choice but to find a ruined temple next to the city wall, and several people huddled inside. Looking at the rising bonfire, Ma Xingkong felt a little depressed. Mu
Yun Chen asked: "What's wrong? What's on your mind?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "I was just thinking, I don't know how my second brother is doing now, and whether we will cause any trouble to him if we go!"
Mu Yunchen nodded: "Xi'an here is not as good as Northeast China. The young marshal is also dependent on others. I heard that he was ostracized not long ago and had to go abroad. Although things are getting better now, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him!"
"Hey!" Ma Xingkong sighed: "I can't care about that much anymore, I can only take it one step at a time! I hope I won't embarrass my second brother!"
Early the next morning, a group of people walked into Xi'an City Gate. The soldiers at the door really looked at them twice. The dozen young men were very eye-catching. Along the way, they asked about the address of the Northwest Suppression General, but no one knew it. Everyone agreed to first
Looking for a place to eat, I haven't had a good meal these days. Since I came to Xi'an, I had to taste the special food here.
Lao Sun's is the most famous mutton steamed bun restaurant. A few people walked in, found a big table in the lobby and sat around, ordered a few side dishes, and waited for the steamed buns. It was too early, and there were not many people in the store.
, they are the first wave of customers today. The waiter is a little listless and not very happy. According to the work schedule of Shaanxi people, no one eats mutton dip early in the morning. It is usually relatively leisurely, but today it was disturbed by these people.
Bowls of mutton steamed buns were served, steaming hot, with a layer of mutton fat floating on them. It made everyone want to ask about it. Everyone started to get excited, and no one said anything, and kept pushing the foam in the bowl into their mouths.
Li Yong kept shouting that it was delicious, and everyone else nodded. This food is very delicious and not hungry. No one ate four buns of mutton dip, and everyone leaned on the chair comfortably with their big bellies to breathe.
"It's delicious! It's delicious!" Long Jie burped: "It's as good as those pork-killing vegetables from the Northeast. I'll eat them every day from now on!"
Just when everyone was having their fill of wine and food, dozens of soldiers suddenly crowded in outside the restaurant, led by a captain in a dark green military uniform. As soon as he stepped in the door, he shouted: "Where is it? Where is it? Spy.
where?"
The waiter hurried over and said with a smile: "Boss! Boss! We are all good and law-abiding citizens, there are no spies here!"
"Bah!" the captain spit on the ground: "Get out of here!" He turned around and saw Ma Xingkong and the others. He turned around and asked the person behind him, "Is it them?"
The man nodded quickly: "Yes! You see, they all have deer heads and rat eyes, they must be spies of the Communist Party!"
"Damn it! If you dare to cause trouble on my territory, I will arrest them all!" the captain ordered, and the soldiers rushed forward to take action.
Long Jie, Li Yong and others quickly drew their short guns. The soldier did not expect that there was a guy in this group. He was stunned for a moment, and then he took off the guns on his shoulders. For a moment, the two sides were at war with each other, and there was a possibility of a fight at any time. Mu
Yun Chen said with a gloomy face: "Whose subordinates are you?"
The captain parted from the crowd and laughed: "I didn't expect that we were still trying to fight, and we actually brought this guy with us. That's right. We must be a gangster, arrest people, and execute them on the spot if they dare to resist!"
"How dare you!" Long Jie roared: "If you are blind, you can see clearly. This is Commander Zhang, your commander-in-chief, sworn to your elder brother. If you are wise, please inform Commander Zhang immediately. If you are too late, you will be careful of your life!"
"Company Commander, this..." When they heard that he was Zhang Xueliang's sworn brother, the soldiers were a little worried. If they really offended a senior official, not only would their jobs be ruined, they could be killed for any reason.
The captain looked up and down a few people and saw that several people were dressed in coarse cloth. They didn't look like rich people. They were all shabby. These people had everything from monks to women to children. They didn't look like them. "Haha, what if you...
Commander Zhang’s relative, I am his father, damn it, you dare to fool me and arrest me!”
