Several fast horses entered Yinchuan City like lightning, crossed several streets, and disturbed the people along the way. The war horses stopped at Ma Hongbin's official residence, and saw the brigade commander Liao Hui jumped off the horse quickly. He handed the reins to the guards and hurried towards the courtyard gate. At this time, Ma Hongbin had already been waiting at the middle gate to welcome him. Ma Hongbin seemed to feel a little jealous when he saw his young subordinates who were so handsome that he sighed that his subordinates were pale in comparison.

At present, Ma Hongbin gave Liao Hui considerable respect for etiquette. After Lu Dahu returned to Wuyuan, Liao Hui accepted the arrangement and became the commander of a reorganized brigade under Ma Hongbin's tent, and his cavalry division quickly expanded to more than 8,000 people. He knew very well that Mu Yaping arranged Liao Hui to monitor him. Currently, Liao Hui is stationed in Yanchi County, eastern Gansu.

Due to the unfavorable war in the Central Plains, Feng Yuxiang called to ask Ma Hongbin to lead his troops to the battlefield, which was of great importance. Lu Dahu fought for Mu Yaping's agreement and asked Ma Hongbin to verbally agree to Feng Yuxiang's request, but secretly delayed the time. He also said that the Central Plains war will be announced until the end of August, so he must grasp it.

Ma Hongbin was unsure of this kind of move, so he naturally asked the brigade commander Liao Hui to discuss. If he generates power again and seeks Lu Dahu's opinions, it would not show his incompetence. Now Ma Hongkui has defected to Chiang Kai-shek. During this extraordinary period, he was even more careful and must not make any mistakes. To be precise, no one can afford to offend him now, and seeking to survive in the cracks is like walking on thin ice.

In just a few months, Ma Hongbin witnessed Mu Yaping's strength. His strong economic foundation and strong military equipment made him completely lose the idea of ​​standing alone. In particular, Mu Yaping provided him with weapons and ammunition, logistics supplies, and the military instructors sent, which made him convinced. Moreover, his officers and soldiers seemed to have a sense of belonging in the face of their wealthy treatment.'

The strength of the past few years determines everything. Some time ago, Ma Hongkui sent him a secret message to understand the situation and not to run away from the dark side. He smiled bitterly. Don’t say that what he said now doesn’t matter, even if he has the intention of rebellion, he might be slaughtered immediately. After thinking about it, Ma Hongbin decided to listen to his master’s arrangements and put aside unrealistic ideas.

Ma Hongbin asked Liao Hui to discuss the matter. After all, this kid is Mu Yaping's man. If he asked him to make a decision, he would get rid of the unfavorable situation. As soon as he met, Ma Hongbin went straight and said, "Braft Commander Liao, you must have known about the transfer of troops. Commander Lu ordered us to accept the transfer order, but he asked us to delay time. What do you think?"

Liao Hui said without hesitation: "Chief Ma, I have already understood the specific situation. The situation in the Central Plains is now clear. Commander Mu's meaning is nothing more than asking us to ask Liu Yufen for benefits. The army must be driven out, and weapons, ammunition, military pay, food and grass must be met. I guess Liu Yufen in Xi'an City cannot satisfy us at all. What are we worried about?"

Ma Hongbin said happily: "Gao! It's really high. It's not only that Feng Yuxiang has suspicion, but also that he can delay the mobilization of the army. I immediately sent a telegram to Liu Yufen, asking for military pay, food and grass, and asking for ammunition, and repeatedly raising our difficulties. This is a killing of two birds with one stone." Liao Hui said: "Team Commander Ma, I will lead the troops to move first, and then make a mobilization attitude first."

Ma Hongbin agreed to Liao Hui's request, and then he sent a message to Liu Yufen from Xi'an, asking him to prepare supplies in Xi'an. At this time, Liu Yufen received a telegram from Ma Hongbin in Xi'an, and was so angry that he was so angry that the troops fighting in the Central Plains were unable to satisfy their logistics. As the saying goes: The army mobilized food and grass first, and there was no way. Liu Yufen had to accept it on the surface, thinking that when your troops arrived in Xi'an, you would have no choice but to do so.

Unexpectedly, Ma Hongbin called to inform that Liao Hui's unit of the Cavalry Brigade located in Yanchi County took the lead in action, and the subsequent troops might have to raise some food and grass before they can make a move. Liu Yufen had no choice but to telegraph Ma Lin from Lanzhou and asked him to raise some military pay for Ma Hongbin. Now the situation of the war has gradually become clear, and no one is in his heart. Although Gansu Provincial Chairman Ma Lin agreed verbally, he did not agree. He said to his subordinates: "Liu Yufen? He thought he was, so he gave me an order, and did not consider his weight. How much is it, I will not pay a penny."

It is obvious that Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Banner, which is calling for the wind and rain, is about to collapse. Everyone is concerned about his father, mother and family, and politicians with a little vision have seen this clearly. Now politicians are just for their reputation and face, and with the remaining power of the Northwest Army, they dare not tear their face apart. Warlords of all sizes and various forces have become a highlight of this period.

After returning to Yanchi County, the brigade commander Liao Hui sent a telegram to Lu Dahu and won the agreement, so he led his troops to set off. As a cavalry unit heading to the battlefield, it is precisely a high speed. If you see how this brigade marching, you may be confused as outsiders. On the first day, they will go 10 miles to rest, and on the second day, they will go 5 miles to camp. This kind of marching speed may not reach the battlefield even if you walk for a month.

In the Taiyuan Administrative Office, in Mu Yaping's temporary command post, there were telegrams asking for supplies everywhere, just like a death talisman. Mu Yaping had greatly reduced the supply on the battlefield in accordance with Yan Xishan's instructions, especially the supply of the Second Army, and had completely stopped supplying.

Although his subordinates were nervous and busy, Mu Yaping seemed extremely calm. At this time, he was drinking tea and staring at the map on the wall seriously. The guard commander Qiao Richeng walked in and said, "Military Commander Lu, Commander Lu is here!" Mu Yaping said with a refreshing expression: "Please come in!" Lu Dahu walked in with great enthusiasm. Mu Yaping stepped forward and hugged him, which made Lu Dahu a little embarrassed.

After some intimacy, Lu Dahu asked, "Military, you hurriedly recruited me to Taiyuan. Could it be that there is a major military situation?" Mu Yaping smiled and said, "There is a major military situation, and it is okay to directly generate electricity. However, this time Xiangyun and Heping and his wife asked you for something, and repeatedly asked you to come to Taiyuan. We have to let you go to Taiyuan. Well, let me explain to you in person to more details."

Lu Dahu said with a confused look on his face: "Second brother, what's wrong with the second sister-in-law looking for me?" Mu Yaping shook his head and said: "I don't know what the specific matter is. I think you will know it after you go." Then Mu Yaping changed the conversation and said: "The situation in the Central Plains is irreversible. It's only a matter of time before the overall defeat of Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang. Now it's time for us to make a comeback."

Lu Dahu's eyes lit up and said, "How to act?" Mu Yaping said, "You must lead your troops to pass through Ningxia in early September and occupy Lanzhou with Ma Hongbin's troops. Now the plan to plan for Gansu is ripe. A few days ago, Wang Debiao led his troops to take over Xining, and the Ma family's father and son also submitted. Ma Buqing, the eldest son of the Ma family, had a brigade of troops in Xiaozhou, so it is probably not a big problem."

Mu Yaping paused for a moment and continued, "Now Ma Lin is in charge of Lanzhou City. He has a division of troops under him and has certain combat power. Therefore, this time, we must fight quickly and try not to have large-scale wars. In the future, we must rely on them to integrate Gansu. We will proceed quietly according to our original plan. This time I will hand over the army's direct investigation brigade to you, striving to occupy Lanzhou without bloodshed. In addition, after the war in the Central Plains, Ma Hongkui's troops may have to return to Ningxia. For this troops, I think this is what we should do..." At noon, Mu Yaping welcomed Lu Dahu and showed his friendship with the landlords.

In the afternoon, Lu Dahu came to Xiangyun and Heping's residence in confusion. The couple had already received a call from Mu Yaping and were waiting at home. It is not necessary to say more about the politeness between the two parties. When they were in the capital, the couple and Dahu were going to have a good relationship, so Dahu was very casual in front of them. Dahu asked: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I wonder what you have to ask me for?"

Xiangyun answered the question illegitimately and said, "Dahu, I'll ask you, brother, have you taken you, have you taken any major actions?" Because Gu Yeping asked her to find out all Mu Yaping's actions. Therefore, she asked inadvertently, which was completely purposeful. Dahu said a little embarrassedly: "Second sister-in-law, this is a military secret, I can't tell you!"

Xiangyun laughed and said, "I really can't tell you, you are so loyal to your elder brother. Forget it, I'll just ask casually, don't mind." Dahu seemed even more restrained and didn't know what to say for a moment. He Ping came out to rescue and said, "Look at you, it's not that you're embarrassed by the brothers Dahu, but it's just a serious matter! This time we are looking for you, your sister-in-law brought you a marriage."

"Proposal?" Dahu's face turned red. Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother knew that he was in charge of you fighting and killing, and he didn't care about your personal problems at all. My sister-in-law was anxious in her eyes, so I decided to take a marriage for you. "Dahu was a little excited and asked carefully: "I don't know if the other party is..."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Dahu, the girl's appearance, character and knowledge are impeccable. The girl's name is Du Yafen. She is currently a teacher in my school. Her father is a businessman from Taiyuan and has certain strength. Du Yafen graduated from the Beijing Women's College. It should be said that she is a good match. You are very good at it. Bang! Look at this girl's photo?"

Dahu took the photo, and only glanced at it, his face turned red and said, "This matter is all up to my brother and sister-in-law!" Xiangyun said, "It's better to have a day than the next day. I'll see you today." That night, the couple took Dahu to the girl's house for a blind date. Du Yafen's parents were a little nervous when they saw the heroic Dahu. They were already high, so naturally they agreed. However, the girl seemed very calm and talked with him generously and raised many questions, which made Dahu very embarrassed.

Finally, the two sides decided that after the situation stabilized, his father Lu Chuanxiong went to Taiyuan to officially propose marriage and agreed on the date of marriage. The next day, Lu Dahu set off for the Wuyuan, but Dahu did not expect that Du Yafen personally accompanied Xiangyun and his wife to see him off, which moved Dahu very much. In fact, all this was entirely Gu Yeping's attention. Given that Mu Yaping's power was getting bigger and bigger, he had to install his own people around his main generals. This task fell on Xiangyun, and it was obvious that Du Yafen's identity was clear at a glance.
