As night is approaching, a military officer looks at everyone with a solemn expression on his face. Many injured people are still lying on the bed, and those with mild injuries are sitting on the bed. Dozens of medical soldiers with red cross armbands stand. After a while, the officer said in a low voice: "Brothers, General Fu has decided to break through, but in order to break through, he cannot bring you. General Fu has decided to stay and take care of you. Don't worry, the Feng army will not make any trouble for you. We will definitely take you back in the future."

After a brief silence, a lightly wounded man said, "Tell General Fu that we were born from the Jin army and died from the Jin army. Let General Fu break through with confidence! We are willing to stay." The lightly wounded man expressed his opinion. The officer said with tears in his eyes: "Brothers, on behalf of General Fu, I thank you everyone, and I wish you a speedy recovery." After that, the officer saluted everyone solemnly.

There were still more than a dozen artillery pieces left in the artillery regiment that had arrived with the troops. At this time, all the guns were shaken and quietly aimed at the Fengtian Army positions in the south of the city. The guns that were getting darker in the cold wind pointed to the night sky, which seemed very tragic. Many soldiers were waiting quietly with shells in their arms, and silence was better than sound at this time.

It was also this night, at the official residence of Yan Xishan in Taiyuan, he was worried about Fu Zuoyi's army at this time. A communications officer came in and reported: "Report to Chief Yan, Fu's army called to request a breakthrough." Yan Xishan was shocked and hurriedly took the telegram to see it. It read: Chief Yan, all the soldiers of the Fourth Division decided to break through to the north at 6 pm that day. At that time, strong foreign aid will help, and sign Fu Zuoyi." Yan Xishan stood up, "Foreign aid, where did foreign aid come from?" Suddenly he realized that maybe this was Fu Zuoyi's excuse. He immediately said: "Call back and order them to cancel the breakout plan, and do not act rashly."

At the command post of the Fourth Division of Zhuozhou City, Fu Zuoyi held a pocket watch in his hand. He had just contacted Mu Yaping for the last telegram and once again made it clear that the breakout plan would start on time. The hour and minute hand was pointing at six o'clock. Fu Zuoyi shouted loudly: "Order the artillery to fire the artillery. After 10 minutes of artillery shooting, the north gate will start to act again. Do you understand?" "I understand!" All the generals answered in unison.

At the same time, cannons began to roar, and the Feng army's position in the south of the city suddenly burst into the sky, accompanied by a violent explosion. Mu Yaping led his troops to quietly move behind the Feng army's position. At this time, dense gunshots suddenly came from the left front. Mu Yaping knew that the big tiger had begun to attack the Feng army's artillery positions.

Mu Yaping shouted: "The first battalion, the second battalion is on the left, the third battalion, the fourth battalion is on the right, and the fifth battalion is in the middle to support Fu's troops. At this time, Mu Yaping's tension suddenly disappeared, accompanied by a kind of passion and desire. At this time, the north gate of Zhuozhou City had been opened, and Fu Zuoyi's assault camp was ready. Each of them had a submachine gun and carried a large number of grenades. There were also a large number of soldiers behind them, carrying wooden boards, following behind them, with the purpose of setting up a passage on the trench.

When Fu's troops suddenly shot, Wan Fulin, the commander-in-chief of the siege, was drinking himself at the command post in the eastern part of Zhuozhou City. When it was clear that Fu's troops were shelling the south of the city, he immediately realized that Fu's troops were breaking into the south of the city, and cursed in his heart: Isn't Fu's seeking death? He left the city and was a duck waiting to be slaughtered. He knew that it was time for him to make achievements, so he immediately put on the battlefield and ordered the troops of the two wings of Zhuozhou City to quickly reinforce the city. Due to the backward communications, even if he found that Fu's troops broke into the north, it would be too late!

Accompanied by the explosion of the Fengtian artillery position, Mu Yaping ordered an attack. Suddenly, the war horses galloped and the earth rumbling. Originally, the Fengtian artillery position was suddenly attacked, which made them mess up. When the commander woke up and reinforced the artillery position, a powerful cavalry suddenly appeared in the north, and the Fengtian army was stunned.

At the same time, Fu Zuoyi's assault troops suddenly launched an attack, and the Feng army immediately collapsed. The sound of grenade explosions, the cheerful cry of submachine guns, and the rumbling of war horses intertwined. The Feng army's command system was completely paralyzed, and the defensive position suddenly lost its function. The Feng army officers and soldiers began to flee in all directions, and the encirclement in the north of Zhuozhou City was wide open.

In just half an hour, Mu Yaping saw Fu Zuoyi in the trench. "Mr. Mu, thank you so much!" Fu Zuoyi said emotionally. Mu Yaping said: "Brother Fu, now is not the time to speak. My troops are chasing the Feng army to both wings. The 5th Battalion is opening the way in front. You immediately command the troops to retreat." Fu Zuoyi held Mu Yaping's hand and said: "Brother, be careful!"

In the dark night, Fu's troops quickly advanced through the trench and headed towards the wilderness in the north. In less than an hour, all of Fu Zuoyi's troops safely evacuated Zhuozhou City, which was very fast. Then Mu Yaping ordered Dahu to lead 500 cavalry to cut off the rear, continue to harass the Feng army, and then chase the large army. At this time, it was already eight springs late after the Feng army learned the truth.

At first, Wan Fulin made a fatal mistake. When he sent a message to Zhang Xueliang in Baoding, he determined that Fu Zuoyi broke through to the south. This caused chaos to Zhang Xueliang's military deployment. However, two hours later, Zhang Xueliang received a report from Wan Fulin that Fu Zuoyi's troops had successfully broken through to the north, and also reported that at least one cavalry division in the north was responding. Zhang Xueliang was shocked when he heard this. A cavalry division appeared in the north. How could this be possible? Regardless of whether there were or not, the safety of the capital suddenly became one hundred thousand urgent. On the other hand, the order of Zhang Xueliang, Wan Fulin led his troops to quickly reinforce the capital because he knew that the capital was empty.

On the other hand, Zhang Xueliang did not dare to neglect and immediately sent a message to Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin was panicked when he received the telegram, and he didn't care about accusing Zhang Xueliang. If Fu Zuoyi and his troops entered the capital, how could he have done it? He immediately ordered the defending troops to strengthen their vigilance and mobilized the troops stationed in Langfang to quickly reinforce the capital. It was a mess.

At dawn, Wan Fulin led his troops to the city wall of the capital, and a misunderstanding occurred. The defending troops thought it was Fu Zuoyi's troops, so they took the lead in firing the gun, which caught Wan Fulin off guard. Wan Fulin thought that Fu Zuoyi had already attacked Beijing, so they ordered the troops to launch an attack. As a result, the two sides fought for an hour before they realized that there was a misunderstanding.

Zhang Xueliang received a report from Wan Fulin in Baoding, and scolded him so much. Zhang Xueliang looked at the map and immediately determined that Fu Zuoyi led his troops to break through the Jima River in the direction of Zhangjiakou, and then entered Shanxi along the Jingsui Road. He immediately ordered the 8th and 25th Divisions stationed in Weixian to quickly rush to Xiaowutai Mountain to set up defenses and take the opportunity to annihilate Fu's troops. At the same time, he ordered the troops in the direction of Zhangjiakou to closely monitor the direction of Shanxi to prevent Yan Xishan's support troops.

While Zhang Xueliang was struggling, Fu Zuoyi led his troops to Yanshou County safely. Mu Yaping's vanguard cavalry first occupied Yanshou County and immediately blocked the news. Mu Yaping still led the two battalions of troops to cut off the rear. Soon, Dahu led 500 light cavalry to join him and rushed towards Yanshou County.

Fu's troops had a beautiful meal in Yanshou County and rested for three hours. At noon, they continued to advance northward. When Mu Yaping arrived at Yanshou County, Fu Zuoyi had already set off and they did not meet. Subsequently, Mu Yaping ordered the vanguard troops to occupy Chicheng County, blocked the news, and ordered two cavalry battalions to warn the direction of Zhangjiakou.

If Zhang Xueliang was the first to accurately judge that Fu Zuoyi's troops were breaking out in Chicheng County, he had no time to order heavy troops from Zhangjiakou to advance eastward to intercept Chicheng County. However, Zhang Xueliang would not think of Fu Zuoyi's retreat route, he could only judge where Fu Zuoyi was hidden. As of the evening, Zhang Xueliang still had no clues of Fu's troops.

Zhang Xueliang was so angry that he never believed that Fu Zuoyi's troops would evaporate on earth. The Fu army arrived in Chicheng County the next morning. Considering that the troops were too tired, Fu Zuoyi ordered the troops to rest here for a day. After all, Chicheng County must be relatively safe. At noon that day, Mu Yaping led his team to Chicheng County. They calmly advanced towards Gaoshan Fort that night.

When Zhang Xueliang learned about the whereabouts of Fu's troops, Fu Zuoyi and Mu Yaping had already arrived at Gaoshan Fort safely. Due to the exhaustion of the Fengtian army and the cold weather, the military operation to encircle and suppress the Fu's troops was forced to be cancelled. Yan Xishan received a telegram from Fu Zuoyi at Gaoshan Fort and confirmed that the Fourth Division successfully broke through, he was so happy that he danced and roared. He also expressed his high praise for Mu Yaping's strong help. In Taiyuan Yan Xishan personally invited He Ping, Xiangyun and his wife to express their gratitude.

At Gaoshan Fort, Mu Yaping and Fu Zuoyi had a drink. During the meal, Fu Zuoyi asked, "Brother Mu, did you know the result of today when you gave me the eight words?" Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Brother, you regard me as a god. To be honest, I just used your hexagram to calculate that you have this disaster. It is a complete coincidence, and you don't have to be serious."

Fu Zuoyi still asked in confusion: "As soon as my vanguard troops occupied Zhuozhou, you sent me combat supplies. Including this help break through, your plan was so meticulous and thoughtful, what would you explain?" Mu Yaping still smiled and said: "I have always been paying attention to Chief Yan's military operations. The situation was very good at that time. When you gathered in Wei County, I guessed your action plan, so I sent a caravan to reinforce, just as your vanguard troops occupied Zhuozhou City."

Fu Zuoyi said: "This makes sense, but it is definitely not a one-day achievement for you to help me break through so smoothly. This still confuses me." Mu Yaping pondered for a moment and said: "In terms of military preparation, the Jin army and the Feng army are not much different in terms of light weapons, and the Jin army is even slightly stronger. In terms of heavy weapons, the Feng army is stronger than the Jin army. If we talk about combat effectiveness, the Jin army as a whole is not as good as the Feng army. After all, Zhang Zuolin's troops have made great progress under the training of the Japanese."

Fu Zuoyi said: "But this is not enough to show that you have carefully deployed this breakthrough plan." Mu Yaping also said: "Chief Yan led his troops to come fiercely, and he successively seized cities and villages. However, with the Northern Expedition Army losing in Xuzhou, the battle situation began to be beneficial to Zhang Zuolin. I guess that Chief Yan's two armies would definitely fail, and at the same time, he also saw that you went deep into the ground alone and were put to death. Therefore, as early as late 10, I began to prepare for this aspect. Are you satisfied with my explanation?"

Fu Zuoyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Mu, I really didn't expect that you have such military talent. It's a pity that you shouldn't do business." Fu Zuoyi seemed to realize something was wrong and asked: "Brother Mu, why do you and your troops wear the military uniforms of the Jin army?" Mu Yaping smiled and said: "Since I want to use a helping hand, I must wear the costumes of the Jin army, which is also in line with the Geneva Convention. Do you have any objections?"

"Is it possible that Brother Mu wants to abandon Shang and join the army?" Fu Zuoyi asked tentatively. Mu Yaping said: "Brother, I am not hiding it. I have the intention. At present, wars are everywhere and the country is in turmoil. Brother, I intend to join the National Revolutionary Army to fight for the country. I hope that my brother will speak well in front of Chief Yan to fulfill his wishes." Fu Zuoyi said excitedly: "Great! There is no problem in front of Chief Yan. I will propose that you serve as my chief of staff and we will fight side by side in the future."

Both sides drank a few glasses of wine in a row to celebrate. Mu Yaping said again: "Brother, as far as I know, Ning Han has already put aside his past grudges. In early December, Chiang Kai-shek resumed his position as commander-in-chief, and the Northern Expedition will soon begin again. I judge that the domestic situation will change greatly. If you want to return to Shanxi immediately, you must not miss the opportunity."

Fu Zuoyi asked anxiously: "I didn't expect that your information is so well-informed and your sense of smell is so keen. I'm better for my brother! But after hearing your voice, aren't you going to go back to Shanxi with me?" Mu Yaping said: "There are many businesses in the capital that I need to deal with and make some explanations. In addition, I want to be appointed by Chief Yan in just right. What do you think?" In fact, Mu Yaping is not going to Shanxi for the time being, but he wants to do a big thing. This is a long-planned thing, so I won't say it here for now.

Fu Zuoyi said wisely: "Brother, I think very thoughtfully. Don't worry, I will recommend you strongly in front of Chief Yan." The two brothers were drunk that day.
