On December 20, the teaching corps occupied the East-West Chishui River and conquered Weinan the next day. The teaching corps of Siyao took three cities in two days, with less than 100 casualties and defeated the three divisions of the Northeast Army. There were more than 3,000 prisoners alone. Gui Yongqing was proud. "But when Weinan came, Gui Yongqing faced the problem of choice. After receiving the telegram to conquer Weinan, He Yingqin immediately sent him an order to stop the attack; at the same time, the telegram from Chaotian Palace also arrived, requiring only one to continue the attack and fight to the city of Xi'an.

Gui Yongqing was in a dilemma in Weinan City. He Yingqin and He Zhonghan were nervously paying attention to his actions in Nanjing City. In addition to them, Yu Jishi, Gongwangling, south of Weinan, also stared at Gui Yongqing's movements nervously. One of his brigades was on standby in Yangguo, and of course he did not expect this brigade to solve the teaching corps, they only acted as auxiliary functions.

Luozhang Town, on the outskirts of Weinan, is a large town with thousands of families. It is located on the road from Weinan to Xi'an. A road covered with bluestone passes through the town. On weekdays, the buses coming and going from this road are coming and going. Long-distance buses coming from Xi'an like to stop, add some water and have a meal. Therefore, the hotel business here is very popular, and various shops and hotel industries have emerged.

However, the business here has been very neglected recently, and buses coming out of Xi'an are already very rare. On the contrary, a large number of wealthy businessmen will take their families to Xi'an with their families and then run further west.

The Northeast Army in gray uniforms, who had been stationed in this area for a long time yesterday, suddenly ran away in a panic, and then a large number of troops in yellow uniforms arrived. These soldiers were obviously richer than the Northeast Army that fled, and therefore the military discipline was better. The residents of the town quickly felt relieved and still started to do their business.

A group of cavalry surrounded a middle-aged general and rushed to the entrance of the town. After talking to the sentries at the entrance of the town for a few words, the group of cavalry quickly turned into the town. The horse's hooves made a crisp sound on the bluestone slab.

When they arrived at Guandi Temple in the center of the town, the cavalry dismounted, and the general took the lead in walking in. The soldiers guarding the door raised their arms to salute him.

"Education Chief Zhang, why are you here?" Gui Yongqing was too late when he received the report. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Zhang Zhizhong had arrived.

"I was ordered to come to Tongguan to inspect military affairs, and come here to take a look." Zhang Zhizhong put his hands behind his back, smiling on his face: "Frankly, the teaching corps is really worthy of being trained by the Chairman with great hardship. He has won three cities in two days and conquered Weinan in one fell swoop. The military is so majestic."

Gui Yongqing's heart trembled. When Zhang Zhizhong came, he reminded him that only Chiang Kai-shek could have this army.~~ It was definitely not a coincidence that he came here, and it was probably related to those two telegrams.

"I teach the officers and soldiers of the corps to make up their minds and not to be afraid of sacrifice. I resolutely quell the rebellion and rescue the principal." Gui Yongqing said solemnly.

"Rescue the principal? Well said." Zhang Zhizhong repeated the sentence with irresistible, then stepped into the war room.

The war room is located in the main hall of Guandi Temple. When you step into the hall, you will read the Emperor Wu of the Spring and Autumn Period carefully. On both sides are Zhou Cang who holds swords and Guan Ping who holds swords.

"A cavalry travels thousands of miles away, and the loyalty and wiseness of Emperor Wu has been passed down through the ages; the battlefield is set up in the Guandi Temple, and the general should be like an ancient person." Zhang Zhizhong looked happy, joked casually, but his tone was faintly indulging in persuasion.

"Education Chief. What kind of legacy do I have in the ancients?" Gui Yongqing knew that he was not bad, so he simply pointed out the topic: "The morale of the Northeast Army was very low. Our army captured the important town of Weinan in two days, and was just in a row. He went straight to the city of Xi'an, forced Zhang Yang and sent it back to the principal, but Commander-in-Chief He asked us to stop the attack and turn to defense at this time. I don't know why this is?"

Zhang Zhizhong turned around and looked at Gui Yongqing's angry look, and then swept over the officers of the teaching corps one by one: "Zhou Zhenqiang, Huangpu Phase I; Hu Qiru, Huangpu Phase II; Ma Weilong, Huangpu Phase IV; Zhao Guoyong, Huangpu Phase III; Li Pingzhi, Huangpu Phase IV; "

The officers who were pronounced their names raised their heads and their chests were raised, and their hearts were solemn. Zhang Zhizhong said slowly: "You are all graduates from Huangpu, students of the principal, and promoted them by the principal. Now the principal is covered in dust. I understand the mood of using the power of your hands to save the principal from danger, but have you ever thought about what is the best strategy to save the principal from danger? Can the principal be rescued by force alone? Zhuang Wenge once said to me that when the kidnappers are desperate, they will tear up the votes. We are too impatient. Will Zhang Yang harm the principal? If they harm the principal because of this, then you will become the indirect murderers of the principal."

The words made the officers on the venue sweat and their expressions changed drastically. Zhou Zhenqiang was the head of the Blue Cosmopolitan Society of the Teaching Corps. He knew the call from Chaotian Palace, but he didn't know the changes in Nanjing city, so he took a step forward and asked: "When we fight to the city of Xi'an, the Northeast Army will be shaken, and there will be changes in the city. The rescue of the principal is 70% sure of the danger."

"70%. I think it's stupid!" Zhang Zhizhong said sternly: "The Zhang family father and son have been running the Northeast Army for decades, and they will not have a unit that is completely loyal to him? In addition, in addition to Zhang Yang, there is also the Communist Party. Commander-in-Chief He has ordered the cessation of the attack, and Yu Jishi and Hu Zongnan have both executed the orders. In the future, you will go deep into the city of Xi'an? More than 10,000 people have gathered under the city of Xi'an. (The previous article was wrong, and the teaching corps has only more than 10,000 troops at the moment, so I apologize). ~~ After so many years of military academy education, military practice, soldiers regard obedience as their duty, you won't understand this."

All of them were speechless, including Gui Yongqing. Zhang Zhizhong scolded him a few more words before explaining: "Mrs. Song Ziwen will set off for Xi'an, and things will soon be concluded. The ceasefire order has been issued, and you must obey the order."

Gui Yongqing looked at Zhang Zhizhong and then at the officers around him. Zhang Zhizhong's arrival made him feel the urgency of the armistice, but he had not felt dangerous. The officers were all nervous, and Gui Yongqing's eyes slid across their faces. He did not notice that Hu Qiru's nervousness was different from others.

In a yard in this town, there is a twelve-man special operations team in Zhuang Jihua. As long as Zhang Zhizhong gives orders, the special operations team will find an opportunity to ambush Gui Yongqing, and then Hu Qiru will come forward to support Zhang Zhizhong in taking over the teaching corps, and Yu Jishi's brigade will arrive here as quickly as possible.

But in this moment, Gui Yongqing had already weighed it clearly. He Yingqin had no order from He Yingqin to continue attacking. Because He Yingqin and the Blue-Yi Society supported him later, and there could be a steady stream of ammunition supplements, but He Yingqin changed his attitude. Although the support of the Blue-Yi Society was very powerful, it could only be politically and publicly. They could not provide her with logistical support, nor could they share the enemy's strength for him.

"The chief of education, soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and students obey the orders." Gui Yongqing replied calmly. As he said, disappointment flashed across his faces, but Hu Qiru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The matter finally did not evolve to the worst, and Zhao Hanjie finally had an explanation. Of course, what was easier was Zhang Zhizhong, who would never kill his subordinates.

"Commander-in-Chief He ordered to adjust the siege deployment and form the east and west columns, with Gu Zhutong as the commander-in-chief of the West Road, including Hu Zongnan, Guan Linzheng, Ma Hongkui, etc. He was commanded by him; the East Road troops were commanded by Liu Zhi as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, and the teaching corps were under my command."

Zhang Zhizhong's words made Gui Yongqing wake up suddenly. Only then did he realize that the struggle in Nanjing had become so fierce that He Yingqin's adjustment was equivalent to depriving all members of the Blue-Clothing Society. Gu Zhutong and Liu Zhi were both old Huangpu teachers, and their loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek was undoubtedly undeniable, and the Blue-Clothing Society was absolutely instructed.

On the 20th, the joint meeting decided to be in a standstill, but Soong Mei-ling strives to obtain another three-day extension. After the meeting ended, she decided not to wait any longer and took this powerful opportunity to go to Xi'an quickly to avoid long nights of dreams.

"I think it's OK, the teacher's wife and Minister Song go with him. He Yingqin's attitude is not stable. Nanjing has almost done everything. Now we must make a breakthrough in Xi'an to strengthen the hearts of the people." Zhuang Jihua's words are very clear. He Yingqin's attitude may change, and the attitudes of those elders may also change, as well as the Blue Clothes Society... Zhuang Jihua finally added: "We must hurry before Wang Jingwei comes back."

This sentence made Soong Mei-ling look a little panicked. Wang Jingwei's political influence is far superior to He Yingqin. If he comes back, the attitudes of most elders will immediately change. Once He Yingqin chooses to join forces with Wang Jingwei, Chiang Kai-shek may really not be able to come back.

"Cultural Revolution, do you have any news about Wang Jingwei?" Song Ziwen asked with a frown. It was obvious that Wang Jingwei also hit the worries in his heart.

"I don't know, no matter when he will come back, he must count the negotiation time of Xi'an. Eight days have passed, which means that it has been six or seven days since Wang Jingwei set off from Europe. If it delays another month, Wang Jingwei should have arrived." Zhuang Jihua said expressionlessly. Everything he should have done now, and if he continues to invest, he cannot increase his income. Soong Mei-ling should go to Xi'an to bring Chiang Kai-shek back.

"But, in Xi'an..." Kong Xiangxi was still hesitating.

"I think Zhang Xueliang may want to start negotiations as soon as possible than us. The Battle of Weinan proves that the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army are in chaos. If the war starts, he will not win. His original intention to launch the Xi'an Incident may be completely lost." Zhuang Jihua calmly added: "Of course, the premise is that he is telling the truth."

"Do you think what he said is the truth?" Zhang Jingjiang was also a little confused. He advocated a peaceful settlement and let Chiang Kai-shek come back as soon as possible, but the situation in Xi'an was not determined, and the reply call from Duan Na was unclear. It was a bit of a risk to let Soong Mei-ling go to Xi'an at this time.

"I think 90% of what he said is true," Zhuang Jihua thought about looking for reasons: "I have had contact with Zhang Xueliang in Sichuan. I feel that he is a more straightforward person. Losing the three northeastern provinces and Rehe puts a lot of pressure on him. He has been pointed at the back and scolded by the Chinese people over the years. I think that life is definitely not easy. Secondly, it is the pressure from the Northeast Army. The soldiers of the Northeast Army left their hometowns. The wanderings in the pass over the years have made their resentment become stronger and stronger. Zhang Xueliang must express something to them, otherwise the Northeast Army will probably collapse itself. In addition, Zhang Xueliang has been holding family feuds, so I think 90% of his claims are true and credible."

Soong Mei-ling frowned and thought for a moment and said resolutely: "Ziwen and I set off for Luoyang immediately and wait for news there. If he said we can go to Xi'an, we will go immediately."

Even though Soong Mei-ling said this, her expression was very nervous. The news from Xi'an was terrifying. The streets were full of chaos and burning, killing, looting and doing everything, which was simply hell on earth.

"Master's wife, Dai Li and I will go with you." Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a moment, but finally softened his heart. Of course, he knew that there was no danger in Xi'an.

"You can't go." Zhang Jingjiang immediately firmly opposed: "When the lady is gone, you have to stay in Nanjing. You have to keep an eye on He Yingqin. Huangpu classmate wants you to contact him. When he is absolutely necessary, you also want to preside over the military operation. The Cultural Revolution, you cannot leave Nanjing before the Chairman comes back."

Zhang Jingjiang's words reminded Soong Mei-ling and Soong Ziwen, and Soong Ziwen also immediately said: "Mr. Jingjiang is right. You can't go to the Cultural Revolution. You have to stay in Nanjing and stare at He Yingqin and the Blue-Yellow Society."

Soong Mei-ling also said that Zhuang Jihua could not go. Zhuang Jihua sighed and said, "The teacher's wife must bring Yunong with me. Master's wife, I told you before that at the beginning of the incident, I sent three special forces to Shaanxi. They are now hiding outside Xi'an City. This is the last killer I have prepared. It will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary. When to use it, only in Xi'an City can decide. Master's wife, I want to transfer the command of this special forces to Yunong, and the decision will be issued by you."

"How many people do they have? Can they save the chairman?" This was the first time Kong Xiangxi heard about it, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I don't know, but this is the last move, a very dangerous move. Only when the negotiations are completely broken can this force be used." Zhuang Jihua's expression was very serious. There was probably only one in ten thousand hope to rescue Chiang Kai-shek from the troops.

Soong Mei-ling nodded and immediately called Dai Li. Zhuang Jihua explained the contact information to him in detail. Dai Li knew that Zhuang Jihua intended to let him go to Xi'an with Soong Mei-ling. Although he was worried, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

On the evening of the 20th, Soong Mei-ling and Soong Ziwen arrived in Luoyang. Shortly after they arrived, a plane from Xi'an also landed in Xi'an, and Duanna returned from Xi'an.

Duan Na told Soong Mei-ling that after Weinan was lost, the city of Xi'an was very panicked. Some wealthy people began to flee outside the city. The middle and low-level officers of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were excited. Some wanted to kill Chiang Kai-shek and fight to the death with the central government, some wanted to retreat westward, and some wanted to run northward. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng had issued notices to the entire army several times. Before he came back this time, Zhang Xueliang asked him to tell Soong Mei-ling that if she did not stop the attack, she would not have to go to Xi'an. In addition, Duan Na also told Soong Mei-ling that she had arrived in Xi'an by sending Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying as the representative.
