Chapter four hundred and fortieth seven special envoys
Ma Xingkong stayed up all night. He could tell from Zhang Xueliang's reaction and eyes that Zhang Xueliang seemed to be worried about something, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big move, but he couldn't figure it out over and over again. Wu Jing saw Ma Xingkong first
This was the first time I felt so uncomfortable in bed and wouldn't sleep. So I got up and asked, "What's wrong? You still don't sleep!"
Ma Xingkong told Wu Jing everything. When Wu Jing heard it, she immediately understood. She smiled slightly: "Young Marshal doesn't want to fight against Japan, but he can't help himself!"
"how do I say this?"
Wu Jing said: "It seems peaceful here, but in fact it is more dangerous than the Northeast. In the Northeast, guns and swords can be seen and touched, but here there are intrigues everywhere. Under the surface of peace, there are too many hidden things inside."
Although the young marshal has not suppressed the commander-in-chief, he still has Yang Hucheng, the commander-in-chief of the 17th Route Army, and Chen Shufan of the National Army in Tongguan. These people have different purposes and tendencies to consider. The young marshal, who comes from afar,
It’s hard to deal with customers!”
"You mean Yang Hucheng and Chen Shufan are not the second younger brother?" Ma Xingkong stood up and prepared.
Wu Jing nodded and shook her head: "When you were in the capital, you also saw what happened to Yuan Shikai and his son. For the sake of the emperor's position, it is possible for father and son to turn against each other and become enemies. What's more, in this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong, on the surface, Yang Hucheng,
Chen Shupan has to listen to the commander-in-chief’s orders. If the critical moment comes, it’s not impossible for him to fight back, and he might even add insult to injury!”
"Then being the Commander-in-Chief of Suppression is useless. It's better to go home and farm!" After hearing Wu Jing's analysis, Ma Xingkong realized that he had underestimated this trip to Xi'an.
Wu Jing smiled: "So many brothers left their hometown with the Young Marshal. How could the Young Marshal leave them alone? Just like you, wouldn't you still take your brothers with you wherever you go? The principles are the same. You have to understand that Young Marshal
The dilemma of being handsome!”
Ma Xingkong nodded: "According to what you said, I'll just refuse the rose thing!"
Wu Jing shook her head again: "No, from what you said, the young commander just had some concerns and did not refuse. If you ask again tomorrow, he might have a solution!"
"Hehehe..." Ma Xingkong hugged Wu Jing, turned over and pushed her down: "She is indeed my good wife, no worse than Zhuge Liang!"
As soon as Ma Xingkong got up the next day, a soldier came to see Ma Xingkong and said that Zhang Xueliang had invited him. Ma Xingkong hurriedly got dressed and took Long Jie and Li Yong to the headquarters. He had been here many times.
He also had an office next to Zhang Xueliang's office, but he didn't use it much. He didn't even knock on the door, just opened the door and went in.
Zhang Xueliang sighed and hurriedly sent the others away: "Brother, why are you still like this? Now you are considered a major, can you just make do with it?"
Ma Xingkong chuckled: "Okay, okay, pay attention next time! I'll knock on the door next time!"
Zhang Xueliang closed the door, and Long Jie and Li Yong stood at the door. Ma Xingkong and Zhang Xueliang were left in the room. Zhang Xueliang poured a glass of water for Ma Xingkong, and the two of them finished cooking. Zhang Xueliang lowered his voice: "Brother, yesterday
Did someone look for you?"
Ma Xingkong was stunned: "How did you know?"
Zhang Xueliang smiled slightly: "Actually, I knew it yesterday afternoon. I also knew that *** is a woman, and she is very beautiful!"
"That bastard snitched, I'm going to kill him!" Ma Xingkong stood up and was about to take out his gun.
Zhang Xueliang stopped him in a hurry, and after Ma Xingkong calmed down, he said: "Brother, be careful when doing things in the future. There are eyes and ears everywhere in Chang'an. It's okay for them to report this kind of thing to me. If someone else directly brought it to Nanjing,
Go, don’t talk about you, I have to drink a pot!”
"Grandma! I hate this kind of villain the most!" Ma Xingkong still felt annoyed.
Zhang Xueliang said: "I felt unaccustomed to it at first, but it will get better after a long time in the officialdom. This is a letter of appointment. Recently, gangsters have been rampant in the Tongguan area. I order you to take people to have a look, and urge Chen Shufan to take strict precautions."
Hold on tight and be sure not to let go of a single person!"
Zhang Xueliang handed Ma Xingkong a letter of appointment as the special commissioner of the Suppression General. Ma Xingkong glanced at Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang smiled slightly: "Okay, Adjutant Ma, get ready to leave immediately. I have already allocated the manpower to you."
You're ready, go ahead! Don't let me down!"
In the courtyard of the headquarters, Mu Yunchen, Yu Mu, Zou Kai, and the dozen brothers he brought back were all standing neatly. This morning, Zhang Xueliang kept issuing orders, asking these people to report to the headquarters immediately
They gathered for an important task. After they all fell down, they realized that they were all their own people. When Ma Xingkong came out of the building with the letter of appointment, everyone was completely speechless.
Mu Yunchen sighed: "I thought it was a good thing? It turns out that the young marshal asked the eldest brother to treat us to a drink!"
"Okay...!" There was a shout in the yard. All the soldiers and officers nearby turned to look at these people. Ma Xingkong chuckled: "Don't just want to get a meal when you come here. Let me tell you, from now on you are
My soldiers will listen to me in everything and go back to prepare. We will gather at the east gate at three o'clock in the afternoon. If anyone doesn't come, I will chop him up!"
Everyone laughed and dispersed. They all followed Ma Xingkong, and there was nothing prepared except for himself. Ma Xingkong took the lead, and everyone followed him to his home. After closing the door, Liu Wu saw all his acquaintances coming up to hug him.
, telling him that he misses them. Ma Xingkong ignored them, called Mu Yunchen and Liu Wu into the room, took out the letter of appointment, and briefly talked about the rose.
Mu Yunchen said: "It's hard to tell. The young marshal must have agreed, otherwise why would he let you go? But I heard that Chen Shufan who is stationed in Tongguan is not easy to mess with. He was originally a Shaanxi warlord and was squeezed out.
He left and stayed in Tongguan now. He has no good impression of the young marshal or even the Nanjing government!"
"That's just right! We can use this to transport the supplies in!" Liu Wu said.
Ma Xingkong said: "Okay, I just want to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared and act according to the circumstances. As for Chen Shufan, if it doesn't work, just get rid of him. This will also reduce the pressure on the second brother!"
That afternoon, everyone set out on the road. Don’t worry about things at home. With Zhang Xueliang here, there won’t be any problems. They didn’t build a train, which was too slow, and there were no cars or horseback riding. Tongguan is the barrier to the east of Shaanxi, connecting
Inside and outside Guanzhong, Chen Shufan stationed troops here to curb the communication between Guanzhong and the outside world, to show his importance, and thereby gain benefits for himself.
Tongguan is just a small place, but its terrain is very good. It is located in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, dominating the strategic location of the three provinces of Qin, Shanxi, and Henan. It has the Qinling Mountains in the south. There is the Forbidden Valley in the southeast, and there are twelve connected cities in the south of the valley; in the north there are Wei,
Luo Erchuan meets the Yellow River and goes down through the pass, and is close to Huayue in the west. It is surrounded by mountains and peaks, deep valleys and cliffs. The mountains are high and the road is narrow. There is a narrow catwalk in the middle, which can only accommodate one car and one horse. The commander of Chen Shufan
The headquarters is located within Tongguan to guard the key points.
