The guard of Fu waited for several hours but did not see Han Fu come out. He knew something was wrong. Sun Tongxuan then received a report from the commander of the pistol brigade Wu Huawen. The Central Army of the two regiments surrounded the pistol regiment and asked the pistol regiment to disarm.

Sun Tongxuan was shocked and knew that something must have happened in Han Fu. He hurriedly ordered Wu Huawen to disarm according to the orders of the Central Army, and all soldiers were not allowed to leave at the garrison.

This time, Han Fu came to Kaifeng for a meeting. He used the excuse of being unsafe on the road and asked the commander of the Pistol Brigade Wu Huawen to lead a regiment to protect him along the way. The Pistol Brigade was not just a pistol, but Han Fu's guard brigade, and his equipment was the most excellent in the Third Army. The brigade commander Wu Huawen was Han Fu's confidant. With such a regiment by his side, Han Fu was still somewhat sure to rush out of Kaifeng and flee back to the Third Army.

After giving the order, Sun Tongxuan discussed with Cao Fulin, the commander of the 55th Army and Gu Liangmin, who was with the 56th Army, in the house, and decided to take action separately to inquire about the news. Cao Fulin went to find Song Zheyuan and asked him to lend a helping hand in order to join the Northwest Army lineage; Gu Liangmin went to find Sun Lian Zhongchengqian; Sun Tongxuan personally went to find Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. During the discussion, they automatically excluded the Central Division. In their consciousness, the Central Division wanted to eliminate the miscellaneous army.

But when Sun Tongxuan saw that Li Zongren was not at all surprised, she seemed to understand in her heart. Li Zongren might be aware of it, but now he doesn't care.

"Commander, we didn't fight well, but I can guarantee that our Third Army will do our best in the future and that things will never happen in Jinan. President Han has a bad temper and has any offences in the past. Please forgive him for your opinion of fighting in the fifth theater. Please be sure to speak kindly to the boss in front of the chairman."

Li Zongren looked at Sun Tongxuan's anxious expression and sighed in his heart that he had known why he had to be the first to be there. However, at this time he could not leave the other party with the impression that he had participated in the conspiracy. He calmed for a moment and said, "Mengting, I just knew about Han Xiangfang. Just ten minutes before you entered the house, the chairman informed me that Han Fu was arrested for his poor combat and had been escorted to Wuhan by plane. The military court was responsible for the trial, and at the same time, he ordered you to act as the commander of the Third Army."

Speaking of this, he walked to Sun Tongxuan and said with a gentle voice: "As both colleagues in the Fifth War Zone, I will naturally speak with the Chairman. Please rest assured about this. However, I suggest you go to find Deputy Commander Zhuang, who is a disciple of the Emperor. The Chairman trusts him very much, and the Chairman can listen to his words."

Sun Tongxuan heard it. Li Zongren was hinting that his words might not work, so he stood up and said, "Commander, if he can save Commander-in-Chief Han this time, the generals of the Third Army are grateful for their gratitude. Please stay and I will go to Deputy Commander Zhuang."

Li Zongren did not keep guests, so he personally delivered them to the door. While walking, he told him how to deal with Zhuang Jihua. Then he stood at the door and watched Sun Tongxuan get in the car and leave. When he returned to the house, he thought about it and decided to call Chiang Kai-shek and touch Chiang Kai-shek's bottom to see how to deal with Han Fu.

When Sun Tongxuan went out, she went straight to Zhuang Jihua's residence. But Zhuang Jihua was not there. He sat in the hotel hall for an hour before seeing Zhuang Jihua come back. He hurriedly walked to Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua saw Sun Tongxuan coming and said, "Is there anything to say in the house?" Then he led the way upstairs. Sun Tongxuan followed behind. He smelled the alcohol on Zhuang Jihua's body and felt a little uncomfortable. He intuitively thought that the emperor's disciple had a high probability of participating in this conspiracy.

"Commander Sun. Are you here for Han Fudi?" As soon as Jihua entered the village, he asked Wu Ziniu to pour tea. Then he spoke and went straight to Sun Tongxuan's purpose.

Sun Tongxuan stood up and said, "It's the place. President Han was arrested. Please help me if you are in the battlegrounds of the fifth war zone. My third army generals were feeling it."

Zhuang Jihua picked up the teacup in front of him and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat. During dinner, he and Liu Zhi and other teachers in the First War Zone gathered together. He drank a lot of wine and felt uncomfortable in his mouth.

"Han Fu should go to the military court for trial. If it were me, I would shoot him on the spot." Zhuang Jihua said and shattered Sun Tongxuan's hope: "Jinan fell, Tai'an fell, and the situation in the northern line of Jinpu Road was unprecedentedly in crisis. Han Fu should bear full responsibility."

Sun Tongxuan remembered Li Zongren's instructions just now, and had to be reasonable when dealing with Zhuang Jihua. If he could refute him in theory, he would help him. So he resisted: "We did not expect that the Japanese army would attack on such a large scale, with only more than 60,000 people in our Third Army, and the Japanese army's strength was several times that of ours. Moreover, according to the pre-war deployment, Jinan and other places would also give up."

"This is not a reason," Zhuang Jihua interrupted Sun Tongxuan without hesitation: "Before the war, Commander Li and I discussed with him and asked Sun Lianzhong's second group to go to Jinan for reinforcements. He refused. We thought he had a conflict with Sun Lianzhong, so we suggested changing it to the 24th Group Army, but he refused again. Finally, I said that I handed over the Forty-Nine Group Army to his command, but he still refused. Twenty-four, Forty-nine are the troops with the best equipment in the Fifth War Zone, and he refused such troops. What do he want to do? I know the strength of the Third Group Army, and it is impossible to block the Japanese attack."

Zhuang Jihua stood up when he said this, his face turned red and angry

: "Han Fu made up his mind to run away before the war. He snatched goods from Jinan and sent the supplies outside the fifth war zone. Duke De stopped them and the chairman dissuaded them, but he refused to listen. The Third Army was defeated, and Han Fu was unlucky!"

Sun Tongxuan was speechless. He knew all these things. Han Fu's idea before the war was to run away, but Zhuang Jihua was not finished yet.

"Not only that, Han Fuxiali negotiated with the Japanese. Not only did the Chairman know that, but Degong also knew that if you were not your subordinates, he would have accepted the Japanese's conditions and became a traitor, so he should have killed him!"

Sun Tongxuan's eyes turned dark. These most secret matters were controlled by the central government. His heart was sinking and he couldn't help but beg: "Deputy Commander, Mr. Han always did something wrong, but he did not become a traitor in the end. Negotiating with the Japanese was just a matter of rights and interests, and delaying the Japanese attack."

"You think so, I'm afraid Han Fu will tell you this too," Zhuang Jihua was very imposing. After learning that Han Fu was arrested, he felt very happy: "But what he had in his heart could only be judged by his actions. Procrastination is not enough to make better preparations, but what is Han Fu doing? All this shows that he had to do both things, either escape or surrender; in the end he chose to escape. He chose to be a deserter, Commander Sun, what would you do if your subordinates did not obey orders and escape from the battlefield?"

Sun Tongxuan was speechless again, and after a long time, he said: "But killing the general in the last battle is not good, and the boss has made great contributions to the chairman over the years. This time, the difference in thought is due to the contributions in the past, isn't it enough to save his life?"

From Zhuang Jihua's mouth, Sun Tongxuan felt that Chiang Kai-shek was going to take a ruthless move this time. If no one came forward to clear the situation, Han Fu's life would be difficult to protect, so she no longer asked for Han Fu's return, but instead hoped to save Han Fu's life.

"Oh," Zhuang Jihua sighed: "Why are we so chaotic? Why do the Japanese dare to invade our country? It is because you have always been the central government and local government division. There are chairmans and you also have them in your heart. You always think that the central government wants to weaken local strength, so they always put the preservation of their strength first. Han Fuzai is here, forgetting the country and the nation. I came out of Nanjing and killed Zhou Lan. For such a person, I will be in my hands in the future. I will also kill him, whether it is the local or central government, Commander Sun, I advise you to find someone differently. What you should think about now is how to save the Third Army and your own honor. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is destined to make a lot of plans in Chinese history, escape generals, are you willing to bear such a title? The soldiers of the Third Army are willing to bear it?"

Sun Tongxuan's face turned red. He knew that Zhuang Jihua was reminding him that Chiang Kai-shek had decided to deal with Han Fu and would not care about this matter. He could not control this matter, but he had been with Han Fu for more than ten years and could not save him.

Leaving Zhuang Jihua's place, Sun Tongxuan returned to her residence, Cao Fulin and the others had already returned. Several people sat together and concluded the situation they learned. Chiang Kai-shek's arbitrary decision, but Li Zongren and Cheng Qian noticed it in advance, but they were unwilling to disclose it for various reasons, and even secretly encouraged Chiang Kai-shek to take action to provide him with favorable conditions.

Sun Tongxuan sighed in her heart that there have been too many people that President Han offended, and offended everyone from the upper and lower levels. Now no one is willing to come forward to help. It is really sad.

"Our Third Army generals wrote a letter to the chairman, hoping that the boss could make meritorious service.

"Sun Tongxuan felt that she could only rely on her own strength.

But what surprised him was that Cao Fulin and Gu Liangmin did not move. They looked at Sun Tongxuan with complicated eyes. Cao Fulin finally said: "It may be inappropriate to write a letter now, so let's wait."

"Wait?" Sun Tongxuan was very surprised. He looked at Cao Fulin and Gu Liangmin and said angrily: "Why have to wait?"

"It is impossible to save the boss by our Third Army alone." Cao Fulin said: "Our situation may be even more difficult in the future. When we go at this time, it will still cause the chairman's bad luck."

Cao Fulin was not Han Fu's direct lineage. He was still standing opposite Chiang Kai-shek during the Central Plains War. After the Central Plains War, he was attracted by Han Fu and brought his troops to Jinan to accept Han Fu's command.

Sun Tongxuan was furious and slapped the table and stood up: "I am a subordinate promoted by the boss. The boss is not bad to you, why don't you even dare to sign a citizen now? Well, if you don't sign the autograph, I will go alone."

After saying that, Sun Tongxuan was about to go out, Gu Liangmin hurriedly grabbed him: "Mengting, don't be excited, Lao Cao, what's the point of signing a letter? Besides, it's natural for both brothers to write a letter to the chairman."

Cao Fulin looked at Sun Tongxuan who was still angry and said after a long time, "Okay, you write, I'll sign."

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek publicly announced at the meeting that Han Fu was arrested and sent to the military court for trial, and then sent a booklet. Zhuang Jihua opened it and couldn't help but be happy. Isn't this part of the combat summary they summarized? Chiang Kai-shek can really save trouble.
