Zhang Xueliang's transformation gave Ma Xingkong a shot in the arm. With Zhang Xueliang, he had the support of the Northeastern Army. Ma Xingkong smiled: "You can put other things aside, but there is only one thing that must be done quickly.
!”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xueliang asked.
"There are not only your second brother's team in this city, but also the 17th Route Army. We don't know General Yang's attitude yet!" Ma Xingkong had already made it very clear.
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "I am very sure about this matter. Brother Yang may seem careless, but in fact he is as meticulous as a hair. I believe he can see the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's coming here. Don't worry, I have a way to convince him!"
"Okay!" Ma Xingkong nodded: "Then let's work separately. I'll take people to Huaqing Pool to step on the plates. If he doesn't come out, we'll go in!"
Zhang Xueliang did not go home, so he went out to Zhiyuan. Yang Hucheng was practicing boxing in the yard, and the tiger was very fierce. Zhang Xueliang stopped the guard's announcement and watched at the moon gate. Waiting for Yang Hucheng to finish a set of boxing techniques.
, Zhang Xueliang clapped his hands and walked in: "What a good punch. If this punch hits someone, one punch may kill him!"
"Ouch! Commander Zhang is here!" Yang Hucheng hurriedly wiped his face on the stone bench next to him: "Quickly, please sit down and serve tea!"
In the pavilion in the courtyard, the two of them were chatting and laughing, talking about Yang Hucheng's boxing skills. After chatting for a while, Zhang Xueliang first changed the topic: "I went to Lishan yesterday!"
Yang Hucheng's eyes lit up and he knew what he was going to say next. He hurriedly put down his tea bowl and looked around: "You all can go down! Commander Zhang and I have important military information to discuss!" The guards and several servants in the yard all retreated.
Yang Hucheng then said: "Brother Hanqing, I can tell you now. In the past few days, I have felt that the people in my family, especially those around me, are always weird! So I am worried about whether..."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xueliang was shocked: "They have sneaked into your house?"
Yang Hucheng thought for a while: "I'm not sure, maybe I'm suspicious! I heard someone said that the veteran general not only mobilized the army this time, but also wrote a report to impeach you and me for suppressing the bandits!"
"I haven't heard of this, but I have another news!" Zhang Xueliang put his mouth next to Yang Hucheng's ear and muttered for a long time.
Yang Hucheng slapped his palm on the stone table: "What? The veteran wants to poach us? It seems he is really going to attack us!"
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Yes, that's why I came to my eldest brother to discuss and ask you, what should we do?"
Yang Hucheng glanced at Zhang Xueliang: "Brother, you are not lying to my brother, are you? I regard you as a real brother. If the veteran knows this, you and I will not be able to live with each other!"
Zhang Xueliang said: "Why are you forced to do this by him, and you are still hesitant? To tell you the truth, my elder brother and I have already agreed to work with him. This time I came to ask Brother Yang,
What do you think? If you don't want to, then please Brother Yang remain neutral and don't get involved when we take action!"
Yang Hucheng was in a dilemma for a moment. As the commander-in-chief of the suppression campaign, Zhang Xueliang was ready to take action. It was a desperate move. No matter whether he took action or not, the consequences would be very dangerous. No matter whether he succeeded or not, he would be Zhang Xueliang's accomplice. If he succeeded, he would not have a rescue committee chairman. Chiang Kai-shek would
Hating himself, Zhang Xueliang will definitely resent himself if he fails. Yang Hucheng slapped his thigh: "Okay! I've been drained by you, do it if you want! I'll order my troops to kill Lintong!"
Zhang Xueliang stopped him hastily: "It's not the time yet. If we lead the troops to attack directly, we won't call them rebellions. We should wait until my eldest brother comes back from Huaqing Pool."
With the support of the two major military generals in the northwest, Ma Xingkong became more confident. He lurked in Huaqing Pool for two days. Waiting until December 10, Ma Xingkong finally returned from Huaqing Pool. The news he brought back was:
"Chiang Kai-shek may have obtained some information and is packing up his things. He may leave in a day or two at the earliest. There is not much time left for them.
"Second brother, you and General Yang can send your absolute confidants to separate operations, occupy Tongguan, Sanguan, and Wuguan, and seal them tightly." Ma Xingkong clicked on several points on the map one after another: "If
We succeeded, but I was worried that the surrounding warlords would forcefully attack Shaanxi regardless of Chiang Kai-shek's safety. There were soldiers carrying it for us in the north. Only these three sides were full of warlords, so be careful, especially Yan Xishan, who is facing us across the river!
"
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng nodded. "And!" Ma Xingkong continued: "In order to confuse Chiang Kai-shek, we will start to stir up the atmosphere in Xi'an from today on, so that Chiang Kai-shek thinks we are preparing to celebrate the New Year. There is no other intention at all!"
Ma Xingkong turned around and said to his people: "Fifth brother, you and Zou Kai will monitor Huaqing Pool 24 hours a day. If they have any changes, report them immediately. Long Jie, you will lead the people to ambush on the roads and small roads around Huaqing Pool.
Everyone who comes in and out should watch the self-study. If there are any that can be captured, arrest them all! Mu Dage, you, Li Yong, and Yu Mu prepare various things. We will take action in two days!"
Just when everything was ready and just waiting to take action, news came from Huaqing Pool that Chiang Kai-shek was going to summon Ma Xingkong. This news surprised everyone. Mu Yunchen strongly disapproved of Ma Xingkong's going, he said: "
Chiang Kai-shek is very cunning. My brother will definitely be in bad luck if he goes there this time. It is too dangerous to be alone, so it is better not to go!"
"Yes!" Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng quickly agreed: "Xi'an is full of sentinels and special agents. Who knows if there is a small flaw in any link? The veteran will know it immediately. The Northeast Army has been mobilized frequently in recent times. It must be
It will attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention, so I definitely didn't have good intentions when I went there this time!"
Ma Xingkong pondered for a long time: "But I have to go, so be it! I'll go take a look and you continue to prepare. Regardless of whether I can come back or not, everything just goes as planned!"
"But, this..." Long Jie was anxious and didn't know what to say: "I'll go with you!"
Ma Xingkong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine. As long as Lao Hui is with me, nothing will happen!"
Early the next morning, Ma Xingkong took Lao Hui to Huaqing Pool. When they left, everyone was in a heavy mood. Only Ma Xingkong didn't care. He was talking and laughing as usual, as if he didn't care about these things at all.
.Zhang Xueliang took Ma Xingkong's hand: "Brother, be careful, Chiang Kai-shek is cruel and merciless. He turns his back on others and doesn't recognize them. It's better to say nice things when you should say nice things!"
"I know!" Ma Xingkong nodded: "Okay, let's go back! Don't forget, regardless of whether I can come back or not, we will proceed as planned!"
