Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Zhuyang Disarms

When Wu Peifu entered the 11th year, the most shocking was Chiang Kai-shek, who had just become the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army.At the just-concluded Second National Congress of the Kuomintang, the 40-year-old Chiang Kai-shek was elected chairman of the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee, and his ambition to dominate China was even greater and firmer.Of course yes: Wu Peifu is more vigilant, he can't let him become a tiger with wings, he will use all means to eliminate him. On August 20, 1927, a telegram to discuss Wu was sent from Shanghai in the name of the Sichuan Comrades Association of the Chinese Kuomintang.This was obviously ordered by Chiang Kai-shek, and it was the first fire against Wu that was lit inside the April 11th.The telegram said:

Wu Nipeifu, militaristic and aggressive, his crimes are too numerous to record, not only disrupting the country, but also bringing disaster to the country.Zha Chuanzhong's army is under the banner of Qingtian Bairi, and it should be dealt with immediately, punished for the crime of disordering the country, and thanked the people of the country The telegram also scolded Yang Sen, who kept Wu Peifu in the house, without naming his name, as "he actually admitted to being a thief as his father, and colluded with him privately, so he should be investigated and dealt with separately" and so on.Soon, the "Sichuan people from all walks of life discuss Wu: General Assembly" was held in Shaocheng Park, Chengdu, announcing the thirty crimes of Wu Peifu's collusion with British imperialism that harmed the country and the people, and issued a manifesto.The manifesto states:

Although Wu used the pretext of traveling in Shu and looking at the scenery of mountains and rivers, he secretly sent representatives to dispatch troops to prepare salaries. With the old skills of Jigong Mountain, who will he deceive? Thanks to the people of the country. After all, Wu Peifu entered Sichuan after all, and Yang Sen supported him after all.Chiang Kai-shek couldn't let go, eating and sleeping restlessly.In the end, he decided to transfer Yang Sen to Hubei to fight against Tang Shengzhi in order to cut off Wu's wings, and gave Yang Sen the title of "Chairman of the Military Committee of Tang Dynasty on the West Road".Jiang thought he had a plan, but unexpectedly made a big mistake--

Wu Peifu, Yang Sen, and Tang Shengzhi turned out to be a life-and-death alliance. Yang didn't want to destroy Tang at all, but wanted to deal with the alliance with Tang and Wu.Before Yang Sen was transferred to the East to annihilate.He hurried to Baidi City to meet Wu. "Yu Shuai, Chiang Kai-shek wants me to leave Sichuan, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong, ah!" "Zihui," Wu Peifu said, calling Yang Sen by his nickname, "you mean" "it's not good to violate orders." "That's not what I mean." Wu Peifu said, "It's not a bad thing to come out of Kuimen in the east. Naturally, you can't really go to war with Tang. I can send people to deal with him. He won't treat you badly. This is one of them; It's going well, Meng Xiao (Tang Shengzhi's name is Meng Xiao) is willing to cooperate, and I will not stay in Sichuan anymore, so we just go together, isn't it a good thing!"

"Yu Shuai is really far-sighted, and Zihui wrote it down." Yang Sen said, "Going to Hubei this time is just as one wishes." The two had made a plan, so Yang Sen raised the banner of "discussing the Tang Dynasty" and marched out of Kuimen. Yang Sen graduated from the Sichuan Army Crash School and participated in the China League; later he participated in the War to Protect the Country and the Movement to Protect the Law. In 1920, he served as the commander of the Ninth Division of the Sichuan Army and Yin of South Sichuan Province, as well as the commander of the Second Army, the Superintendent of Sichuan Military Affairs and the governor of Sichuan Province; in 1926, he served as the commander of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.However, Yang Sen and Wu Peifu have a special relationship: when Wu Peifu was the tour envoy of the two lakes, he appointed Xiao Yaonan as the governor of Hubei, and Sun Chuanfang as the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. They used the situation to force Liu Xiang to resign from the Sichuan army. The post of commander-in-chief and governor of the province was given to Yang Sen at the same time. He also added a commander of the second army, which made it possible for Yang Sen to become the grass head king of Sichuan.Soon, Yang Sen was beaten to the ground by Ren Maoxin of the first army. He fled to the river in a hurry, won a raft, crossed the river and fled to Wuchang on a small freighter.Later, he went to Luoyang to ask Wu Peifu for help, and Wu appointed him as the commander of the 16th Division of the Army. Yang Sen was able to establish the Second Sichuan Army in Yichang, and this is how he is today.Therefore, Yang Sen has deep kindness towards Wu Peifu.

Yang Sen led his troops into Hubei. As soon as the army settled down, he sent a close aide to Hankou to meet Tang Shengzhi.Later, he also secretly went to Wuhan. Tang Shengzhi was the Acting Governor of Hunan Province last year, the commander of the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army. He is a prominent figure.Only when he disagreed with Chiang Kai-shek's political views and developed to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek sent troops to eliminate him.Yang Sen and Tang Shengzhi fell in love with each other, and with Wu Peifu's instigation, Tang Shengzhi immediately said to Yang Sen: "General Zihui, you came at the right time. There are many important things to be done here, but no one is doing them. You are a man from heaven." good general!"

"Let's talk," Yang Sen said, "since you're tied to the same rope, you'll share the blessings and misfortunes, so don't be polite." "Let me talk about two things first," Tang Shengzhi said: "The governor of Hubei is still vacant. You can pick this burden; if you decide, you will also lead the group army. In Wuhan, you and I will share equally." "This is the last step." "What should we do now? This is the top priority." Tang Shengzhi narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "The most urgent thing is that we divide our troops and advance together. You use most of your troops to defend Huangshi Port in Wuxue. Defeat Chiang's weak army in western Hubei, and then join forces to fight a decisive battle with the main force of Jiang's army downstream to win a complete victory."

"Okay, that's exactly Yushuai's intention." Yang Sen was so overjoyed that he even said what was not appropriate to say. "If this plan can be realized, you can quickly ask Yushuai to return to Henan'e to open the passage." "At that time," Tang Shengzhi stretched out his big hand, tightly grasping Yang Sen's second hand, and said, "We will unite our two armies into one, and we can realize our ambitions!" The tacit understanding was established, and Yang Sen immediately sent an urgent telegram to Sun Chuanfang, explaining the situation and opinions: "Fit together to restore Wuhan, attack Changyue, and give me a helping hand!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Sen's secret telegram was not "secret" and was received by Chiang Kai-shek.Jiang's first measure was to strictly order Yang Sen to leave Yisha immediately and return to Kuiwan; on December 26, 1927, he listed the facts of Wu Peifu's harm to the country, and reported that the Nanjing Nationalist Government issued a warrant for Wu Peifu's arrest. Yang Sen returned to eastern Sichuan and hurried to Baidi City to meet Wu Peifu. "Yushuai, I was careless in handling things, and I didn't expect this situation to happen. I don't know how to make the next move?"

Wu Peifu is calmer than Yang Sen, because he is in a different situation, and he has to think about difficulties and dangers all the time.Now, danger appeared, and as he expected, he calmed down instead. "Zihui, you don't need to panic, take some emergency measures and maybe things will be smooth." "The soldiers have to withdraw, what else can we do?" "Chiang Kai-shek is a man with a strong desire for territory. He regards power as his life and is narrow-minded. I guess he can't just let you retreat." "What else?" "I can only think of the bad." Wu Peifu said, "Jiang is vicious!"

"I have no choice but to retreat." Yang Sen said: "It's better to wait for Chiang Kai-shek to start beating. It's better to declare that you are willing to be beaten. I think so, and immediately send a telegram to Jiang, requesting that I be relieved of the name of the Tang army on the West Road, and I will Please return Shamin's finances to all government officials, but please protect the entire army." Wu Peifu was silent, he was silent for Yang Sen's loss of military power, and the silence was a bit painful.He lowered his head, closed his eyes slightly, and his breath seemed to be long. "Fortunately, Hubei is not my territory. As long as there is Sichuan, it doesn't matter to the overall situation." Yang Sen was masturbating and comforting Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu shook his head coldly. "I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek won't stop here!" Yang Sen didn't speak. Wu Peifu stood up and said firmly: "Since the Nanjing government has wanted me, he will send troops from Yisha to force me. It seems that Fengjie is no longer a place to live for a long time. You and I must go west immediately." "Okay, I'll arrange a boat, you go to Wanxian first." On the same day, Yang Sen sent three ships, "Zhongyiling", "Chang'an", and "Fuchuan" to transport all of Wu Peifu's remaining troops to Wanxian County.Wu and his family lived in Yang Sen's private house in Wanxian Garden, which was temporarily stabilized. Sure enough, it can be stabilized, which is a good thing.cannot.Power and territory are the most attractive things.In order to get them, any means will be adopted, including father to son, brother to brother. Since Yang Sen had been discovered by Chiang Kai-shek that he was not his confidant but the confidant of his powerful enemy, of course he had to adopt the same means as he used to treat the enemy: On January 1, 1928, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Yang's troops to withdraw from western Hubei and return to the original defense area; On the 7th, a dismissal order was issued to Yang, canceling his concurrent posts, and the department handed over to Liu Xiang, and Liu Wenhui took over.I was still worried about this, and I was afraid that Yang Sen's influence in the 20th Army would not die, and would revive, so he appointed Guo Rudong, a person Chiang Kai-shek trusted, as the commander of the 20th Army. Yang Sen was missing, and he moved into his private house in Wan County, and stayed with Wu Peifu as an apartment.At this time, rumors were everywhere, full of rumors about the relationship between Wu and Yang, and even said that "Wu Peifu has formed an alliance with Yang Sen, using Sichuan as a base, recruiting troops, and making a comeback, intending to seize the world."Yang Sen knew it well, he knew that Wu Peifu had such ambitions, but there was absolutely no such condition now.Unconditional ambition is risky and secretive.Now that we can no longer keep it secret, the danger is naturally greater. The most urgent task is to control the spread of this danger and melt this danger.So Yang Sen hastily sent a "declaration telegram" to Liu Jiefan, his representative in Shanghai, asking him to refute the rumors in the mainland.Its message is: It is rumored that Wu's air is supported by his frustrated staff as a means of personal activities.In Wu himself, he had awakened early and knew that he had become a figure in the past in politics, no longer able to appeal, and was forced to come to Sichuan to depend on each other due to poverty.Sen entertained with personal friendship and closely monitored his actions.In order to avoid misunderstandings by all parties, all the few guards were disarmed, leaving only him and his family to move to Wanxian. After the telegram was sent out, Yang Sen also knew that it was only a temporary cover-up, and Wan County was still a dangerous place, so he couldn't stay for a long time.So he went to see Wu and discussed how to follow in the end. Since entering Sichuan, Wu Peifu's mood has fluctuated, moody, often go out alone to visit celebrities; suddenly the door is closed, thinking about ancient books.The law of life is also chaotic, so chaotic that even my wife can't explain it clearly.He came to Wan County from Baidi City. He was very satisfied with Yang Sen's private house in the garden. Soon, he was about to move, so Yang Sen had to repair a house for him in Tianzi City on the outskirts, and he lived in it with satisfaction.He was still studying behind closed doors. One day, a celebrity named Pu Boying visited him.Three days ago, Wu Peifu visited him in Wanxian City, and he had a very congenial conversation with him about poetry and sentences; he invited him to sit at his home.When Pu Boying arrived in Tianzi City, people reported in, but Wu Peifu pretended to be a distinguished guest to greet him.This frustrated literati was momentarily at a loss: "Marshal, you are so kind, I really dare not be you!" "What is there not to dare to do?" Wu Peifu held his hand and said as he walked into the courtyard: "You and I meet friends through literature and friendship through love. You are my guest, a distinguished guest. When a distinguished guest arrives, no Wouldn't it be too late to welcome you? Besides, I, Wu Ziyu, am currently living in a noble land, if I can offer you a glass of clear water, it is also a gift of flowers to Buddha, I am sincerely afraid!" "I have heard for a long time that Marshal is a Confucian general. After getting to know him, I will know more about his character and knowledge. The future China will definitely be the China of Marshal. Our generation can only follow An Le Fu Shou!" The two sat opposite each other, and the guard offered tea.Wu Peifu said again: "It's the time, it's the luck! Kong has left behind a passion for worrying about the country and the people!" "No one knows the heart of the commander-in-chief!" Pu Boying said: "When the sky sheds tears, people weep, and the singing is loud, and the crying is loud. If there are no people in the chest, who can sing it! I have respected the poem. The recording paper was distributed to the sages of our land. Now in Wan County, it has become a household name, and no one knows it." "Thank you for your kindness." "The commander-in-chief is a sage today, and he sees everything in the world. As early as three or four years ago, when the commander-in-chief and Xiao Du separated and sailed eastward on the Chuanchuan ship, the poem that life must not be a hero has been exhausted." Human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. I can recite it with my eyesight, and I still don’t forget it to this day." Wu Peifu sneered. ． "One day, I really want to be able to walk on grass and go deep into this barren mountain to accompany my husband's poems and wine, and get drunk all day long!" "You must not! You must not! The world is yet to be ruled by the commander-in-chief!" While the two were talking, someone reported "General Yang Sen is here!" Pu Boying left in a hurry, and Wu Peifu went out to meet Yang Sen. After Yang Sen asked Wu Peifu about the situation, he said straight to the point: "The situation is just as the commander-in-chief expected, and Chiang Kai-shek refused to let it go. Wanxian is in danger! You and I have to discuss his plan." Wu Peifu was silent, thinking about the way out intensely- - Fourth, most places have played the banner of blue sky and white sun, who can take them in? After thinking about it, the only way is to go north to Suiding and seek refuge with Liu Cunhou. "There, the banner of the Beijing government is still being used, and Liu Cunhou's Sichuan-Shanxi border defense supervisor is still appointed by the Beijing government." "Should I send someone to contact you first?" Yang Sen said worriedly, "It's just that time is too tight." "No need." Wu Peifu said confidently, "I don't think Supervisor Liu will reject me." Wu Peifu hurriedly packed up his luggage, organized his troops and left Wanxian County. It was a midwinter season, and the mountains in the east were already covered with snow and drowsy.The mountain streams disappeared, and the roads were buried by heavy snow; the undirectional mountain wind, up and down, only the rushing Yangtze River, still rushing aggressively towards Kuimen, it will plunge into the canyon with high peaks, The Three Gorges, Wu Gorge, and Xiling, which are more than a thousand kilometers away, were drilled out, and then rushed to the Jianghan Plain. Wu Peifu's team climbed the mountains and faced the cold wind. Before Suiding, they were shut down. There was also an organization to challenge Wu in the Suiding area, and Liu Cunhou did not dare to welcome Wu.On the way, Wu was blocked by Liu.Passing through Guang'an and Qu counties, Wu was also not allowed to enter.Wu Peifu is really at the end of his rope! There is no way to retreat, no way to advance, and powerless to seize the way.Wu Peifu, who was wandering on the way, looked up at the sky and couldn't help sighing: "Is Huang Tian really going to destroy Wu?" Emperor Tian had no intention of destroying Wu. When Yang Sen's Fan Shaozeng and Wu Xingguang learned that Wu Peifu was trapped on the way, they rushed to rescue him. Then they turned back to the south and fled to Lizhu Temple in Yunwu Mountain, 30 miles away from the outskirts of Dazhu City, to find a place to live. . Dazhu is already in the hinterland of Sichuan, with dangerous terrain, rich products, and far away from the threat from the south. Wu Peifu's nervousness finally calmed down. Yunwu Mountain is named after the misty clouds and mist. The mountains are undulating and the peaks are shining. The lush trees and bamboo forests make this place full of mystery.Now it is mid-winter, the grass is exhausted and the trees are withered. Not only are there few people, but even the shadows of birds and mountain springs have disappeared.Lizhu Temple is located in the bamboo forest on the mountainside. The bamboo forest is dense and the green leaves are swaying. Only here is still alive, but the desolation is still daunting.After Wu Peifu made up his mind, he often took a few of them to the bamboo forest and wandered around the mountain temple.Lizhu Temple is a Buddhist temple dedicated to Guanyin.Although the hall is desolate, it is also very imposing; an ancient presiding abbot leads more than a dozen disciples and grandchildren, the morning bell and evening drum, three incense sticks a day, but it is quiet and peaceful.It's just that every time this host sees Wu Peifu and others, no matter how you ask for enlightenment, he always doesn't say a word, and he doesn't even roll his eyelids a little, like a temple god, and his intentions are silent.Wu Peifu was in a state of shock, the lingering fear was still there, and he didn't bother to gossip with others, so he simply had nothing to do with each other, and went his own way, but picked up the brush and painted bamboo day after day to pass the time. Every time he got a good work, he happily inscribed the four characters "high style and bright festival".Later, I seldom painted bamboo, but I never mentioned the reasons for not painting bamboo.It turns out that Wu Peifu is tall and arrogant, and is often disgusted by his colleagues.Once, when he was making bamboo in the capital, Zhang Taiyan, the master of the article, was present. On a whim, he also deliberately used "modestness" to warn Wu, that is, he wrote a poem on the bamboo: The big piece becomes the sound of nature, and it sings because of the wind.Yu Xiao is not enough to envy, the most important thing is a guilty conscience. Wu Peifu is also a well-known contemporary Confucianist, so he naturally understood his intentions. Although he was uncomfortable, he didn't dare to do anything in front of the master, but secretly hated: "Don't paint bamboo again."Now that he is impoverished, and he is in the same company as the bamboo, he doesn't care about the past, so he is happy to do whatever he wants.Among the clouds and mists, in the ancient temples deep in the mountains, Wu Peifu's life is also peaceful.Thinking about the past and the future, he felt that "we should study a kind of knowledge to govern the country, and we should stop fighting endlessly."He firmly believes in Confucianism, and he wants to study a kind of ethics.He closed the door, sat quietly in a meditation hall in the mountain temple, spread out the paper, thought about the idea, the title of the book, and the inheritance. He decided on the title of the book "Xun Fen" and wrote the purpose for it: Etiquette to save the country is a theory that has not been easy since ancient times, so Yu Qi applied Chen's five religions, Ji Gong made Zhou rites, and Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties made Mian Guozuo.The Qin government was abolished in five seasons, and it perished quickly.In view of this, Pei Fu wrote short stories to teach the soldiers when he was in charge of the Luoshui army, but it was a pity that they were not expanded and expanded.After arriving in Shu, in his free time, he surveyed the biographies of sages in the Bible, selected those related to ethics, and compiled them into a book called "Xun Fen", which was written to save the country from danger. He wanted to change course and put down the butcher knife. At this time 4 112: Soldiers, although they often display the banner of the "National Revolutionary Army", they still have doubts about whether the National Revolution will be successful.Therefore, most of them have both ends in their hearts, and they walk around and have a look.The National Government's arrest warrant for Wu Peifu gradually became a waste of paper in Sichuan.Therefore, Liu Xiang and others were all discussing Wu on the surface, but they were still close to Wu in secret. The remote mountains and old forests that had never been seen before suddenly became a lively place: soldiers, politicians, literati and refined scholars came and went, never stopped. .The Spring Festival is over, and the Lantern Festival is coming again. It is a custom in Dazhu to watch lanterns as an annual event.Therefore, Fan Shaozeng and Wu Xingguang, two masters, welcomed Wu to Dazhu to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the affection of the host;Dazhu was originally a remote and small county, the sky was high and the emperor was far away.The county town is as big as a palm, and usually you don't even see a high-ranking official. Now, a general came suddenly, General Fuwei, which naturally became a big deal in the small town.The county town has infinite scenery, and Wu Peifu has infinite scenery.A Lantern Festival always filled Wu Peifu's recent vacancy. Not long after that, Chen Tingjie, a Republican who had served as a patrol envoy in Sichuan, and Chen Tingjie, a Baxian Juren, and Liu Siying, a nationalist from South 11, who had been sent by Yang Sen to Wu Peifu as a representative, came to Lizhu Temple and asked Wu deeply. It expresses the loyalty of "you are grateful, and you are willing to drive".Chen and Liu are both celebrities in No. 11. Liu Siying had contacts with Wu and knew each other well. Chen Tingjie can be called a famous "Zhihu Zhe Ye". It was also when Wu Peifu was living in a barren mountain. .Wu Peifu compared Chen and Liu as "creeping dragons and phoenix chicks" and relied on them as his right-hand men. He appointed Chen Tingjie as the secretary-general of the Marshal Department and Liu Siying as the Chief of Political Affairs of the Marshal Department.Wu Peifu had originally agreed with the nationalist faction, and Liu Siying's surrender led most of the April 11 party to Yunwu Mountain.Wu Peifu was very excited. He greatly compared Yunwu Mountain to Jigong Mountain in the past, and it has once again become a meeting place. He is determined to use Shulong as his base area and make a comeback. Wu Peifu became fanatical, and he lamented that "state affairs must be done"! He has to do something, he wants to ride the clouds and ride the fog in Yunwu Mountain! Dazhu has affection for Wu Peifu. Although Yunwu Mountain is quiet, it is not a place of brilliance. Although Lizhu Temple has friends, they are just prominent figures. The gauze hat of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, in remote mountainous areas, naturally cannot show its brilliance.Not long after the Lantern Festival, under the protection of Wu Xingguang and Fan Shaozeng, Wu Peifu entered Dazhu County majesticly, lived in Zhilantang, and set up the General Command of the Marshal Xingyuan and the Thieves Allied Forces. When Wu Peifu entered Dazhu City, it was because of the protection of Fan and Wu that he could afford it.This was originally a satirical drama of "the fox pretends to be the tiger", but Wu Peifu took it as a real thing.After settling down, he planned to use the two departments as the basis to recruit supporters, attempting to raise a banner, go to Jiangling in the east, and Qin 11 in the north, and severely damage his prosperous age of "wind and rain in all directions". Wu Peifu was a little dizzy, he didn't know that Zhuyang City was already besieged on all sides! The Nationalist Government strictly ordered Guo Rudong, the successor commander of the 20th Army, to join forces with the division commanders Fan Shaozeng, Wu Xingguang, Liao Haitao, and Liu Gongdu to hold a meeting in Liangshan, and the allied forces went eastward to attack Wanxian; Commander Liu Xiang launched an attack at the same time.The goals of the two parts are all aimed at Yang Sen, so as to completely eliminate Yang and finally overthrow Wu. Guo Department sent the following telegrams before the expedition: Yang Sen threatened to fight against Tang, but Yin used Tang to fight against Wu, but actually supported Wu and Feng.A month ago, the confidant team was secretly dispatched to use troops against Fu (Fuling), and they found out about the Dazhu Conference, and they will support Wu Chaochuan, (Yuan) to denounce righteousness, not daring to follow selfishness and forget righteousness, Liu Xiang's call to Yang Sen is: It was recently found that Yang Sen colluded with Wu Ni and Peifu in an attempt to respond to Feng Ni. It seems that this intention is reactionary and cannot be tolerated. Soon, the national government also issued a majestic telegram: Sichuan is in chaos and chaos, and the people of Shu are particularly miserable. They repeatedly ordered Yang to get rid of Wu, hoping to get rid of the ashes, so as to avoid disaster in Sichuan.Yang Sen had been dismissed early, and he supported the army privately, and attached himself to the disaster.Woohoo, because of Wu Peifu's "presence", Sichuan broke out the first huge war disaster in history. Wu Peifu is in Dazhu, and it is not a shelter from the wind.At the beginning of the war against Yang in Sichuan, the Luo Zezhou Division of Deng Xihou's Department sent brigade commander Xiong Yuzhang to lead his troops to Dazhu. At first he said, "to protect Wu", and then he coveted Wu's guard weapons, and finally surrounded the army on June 4, 1928. Wu Peifu's Zhilantang Commander Department. Wu Peifu was painting in a secluded room, when he suddenly heard soldiers surrounded him, he was panic-stricken.He asked anxiously, "What's going on? What soldiers dare to act so recklessly?" Chen Tingjie, the new chief of staff, hurried out to meet Xiong Yuzhang with new and old influences. "Isn't your ministry ordered to protect Marshal Wu? What's the purpose of this action?" Xiong Yuzhang said: "It was ordered at the beginning, and it is still being ordered now. The war in Sichuan has begun. For safety reasons, Marshal Wu please hand over your weapons." "To whom?" "Of course my ministry will take over!" Chen Tingjie didn't dare to make a decision, so he rushed to report to Wu Peifu. When Wu Peifu heard that Deng Xihou's troops were going to disarm him, he immediately became furious. "What kind of thing is Deng Jinkang (Deng Xihou's name Jinkang)? Ask his governor and Qingxiang supervisor who gave it to him? Who gave him the hat of General Huwei on his head? Now in his hand There are soldiers and land under my feet, I want to disarm me! Presumptuous! I want him to come to see me by himself! I think so, if Wu Peifu will definitely have such an attack when "the wind and rain in all directions will meet Zhongzhou", he said Maybe in a fit of anger, he will remove Deng Xihou from all his positions, and even the title of general. Not now, he is in exile in Sichuan, living a life under the fence of others, "Qianglong does not suppress Local snake!" Wu Peifu had to be patient, and he had to think about avoiding disaster. He restrained his temper and said: "Chen Gong, you are a famous person in Sichuan, go and negotiate with him. Although we have weapons, we will never harm Sichuan. Once we turn around, we will will leave.It is better to ask them to raise their hands, we are grateful. " Chen Tingjie went, but soon turned back and said, "Yushuai, Xiong Yuzhang's attitude is very firm. He said: It's not easy to explain to the superior if you make a concession. We must have our weapons." Wu Peifu couldn't help it, he He patted the table and cursed: "Deng Xihou bastard! I can't spare him! Tell Xiong Yuzhang, no one wants my weapon." Anger turns to anger, scolding turns to scolding, Xiong Bing still surrounds him; Chen Tingjie and others are only doing it for entertainment, and don't negotiate with Xiong any more. Soldiers are trapped in Zhilan Hall, and the situation is very tense.The momentum of the two sides is tense, and everyone's face is covered with panic. Someone told his wife, Zhang Peilan, that Zhang Peilan came to Wu Peifu in a hurry, rubbed her teary eyes, and said, "Ziyu, at the beginning I told all the subordinates to leave, and we will go back to Penglai. If you don't listen, you must go to Sichuan." , Said that Sichuan has many friends and will help. It turns out that Sichuan is such a friend. When you fall into trouble, I want to disarm you. Maybe our lives will be lost in Sichuan! What should I do?" "What are you afraid of?" Wu Peifu was still as strong as a cow. "I see who among them would dare to confiscate my weapons?" "You said in the past that you can't be pregnant with a jade to bring disaster. You can't sit in a dangerous city. Today, you can see clearly, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves! Give them the gun, save your life!" "No! Absolutely not!" Wu Peifu ordered Chen Tingjie: "Get ready for the battle immediately, if not, beat them back!" How to fight back? The remnant soldiers are defeated and weak, how to fight this battle? Everyone panicked. The Bears just want the guns and don't want to eat them.Therefore, surround but not fight.In the small Zhuyang City, Wu Peifu's thousand or so remnant soldiers are already overcrowded, surrounded by a group of troops, not to mention fighting, but eating, drinking, and messing around. The soldiers are panicked, and the people close their doors. , Even the sky became dizzy.In the evening, suddenly there was a cannon shot, and the bullet was shooting into the commander's headquarters, and the army in the courtyard suddenly became chaotic. Seeing this, Zhang Peilan hurried to look for Wu again. "You don't want to die, I want to die! Take out the gun quickly, life-saving is the most important thing!" As he said, he fell to his knees in front of his husband, unwilling to get up again. At this time, Wu Peifu also felt the urgency of the situation, and he had no choice but to deal with it if a war broke out, with a single army in another country; "Chief of Staff," Wu Peifu said to Chen Tingjie with his head down, "you should coordinate this matter with Fang Maoshan, Deputy Chief of Diplomacy. As long as they withdraw their troops, we can do whatever you want." After negotiation, Wu agreed to hand over the weapon, and Xiong also agreed to leave some pistols for Wu for self-defense.In the end, Ji handed over the following weapons: 1,301 Hanyang rifles; two portable machine guns; 80 100-gram guns; 80 pistols; Thirty-year-old carbine 30; various bullets 100,000 rounds.After a thrilling accident, Wu Peifu collapsed on the bed, unable to get up again.
