"Brother Jiang, you are such a busy man.
Last time I went to Lanzhou, I didn't even meet your face."
As the train stopped at the platform, when Jiang Li got out of the train, a neat guard was standing outside the station. .
Jiang Li's security team also quickly entered the platform one after another.
"Don't talk about it.
If I hadn't been lucky, I almost would have been reimbursed in Xinjiang last time.
I, the 15th Route Army, also had a leaky air vent.
I don't know how much sand was mixed in.
If I hadn't come to Brother Yang, I would never go anywhere else."
Jiang Li got off the train with a smile on his face and shook hands with Yang Hucheng.
"Really?
Is it really that dangerous?"
The incident of Jiang Li's attack has been spread among the 15th Route Army, but as an outsider, Yang Hucheng's knowledge is limited after all, and the clouds and mountains are shrouded in fog, so he is not very clear.
"I drove the Ma Jiajun to the west of Dihua.
Sheng Shicai's army was also defeated by me in the battle of Dihua.
The fighting methods of the people who attacked me were completely different from the Ma Jiajun.
Some of them looked like regular troops, not the cavalry and native fighters of the Ma Jiajun.
It would have been possible if I hadn't reinforced the company with two small cannons.
With more than a dozen heavy machine guns in total, they probably won't be able to break out.
Even so, the guard company of two hundred and dozens of people was beaten down to only a hundred or so, and he was still a little injured."
He curled his lips and said, "If it hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have brought the entire security group with me to Xi'an this time.
I hope Brother Yang doesn't mind."
"Brother Jiang is the mainstay of the anti-Japanese war.
Anyone who dares to attack Brother Jiang is really a fool.
If I find out, no matter who it is, I have to ask him."
Yang Hucheng looked angry.
Since the Republic of China, Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been generals Although there are occasional exceptions to the rule that officials are exempted from death, at the level of Jiang Li and Yang Hucheng, even if they start a war with Nanjing, most of them will not die afterwards.
Most of them will at least be given official positions in name only in Nanjing. .
It depends on whether you are willing to do it or not.
Taking direct action against Jiang Li is tantamount to breaking this unspoken rule.
Now in the entire Republic of China, only Nanjing or the Japanese have this motive and ability.
No matter how bad his memory was, Yang Hucheng would never forget the little tricks Nanjing did to Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army.
"By the way, you were a little careless.
You brought a security company with you when you returned from Xinjiang.
Fortunately, you were fine.
If something happened to you, who would be able to take on the responsibility next time when we go to war with the Japanese?
This time you will bring a security company with you.
A wise move.
No wonder you can fight the Japanese in darkness.
Brother Jiang, your military training methods are not simple.
You can do it with thousands of troops. " Yang Hucheng's eyelids jumped when he saw the soldiers lining up from the train.
They saw brand-new rifles and neat military uniforms.
Although they didn't see any special weapons, there must be a lot of hidden firepower on the train.
Just based on the impressive aura of these guardsmen, they are considered to be first-class elite soldiers.
"It won't be a problem to save some snacks.

On the ground in Shaanxi, you have to be guided by Brother Yang."
Jiang Li said modestly and got into the car with Yang Hucheng.
"This is not necessarily true.
The 15th Route Army has developed rapidly in the past two years.
In the blink of an eye, it has captured Xinjiang and controls the northwest.
I heard that the northern Sichuan side is also under the control of Brother Jiang.
I will also have to rely on Shaanxi in the future.
Brother Jiang will take care of you," Yang Hucheng said with a look of sadness on his face.
"Brother Yang has been famous for a long time.
Shaanxi and Gansu are on the same page, so they should support each other.
If you say anything else, it would be a bit foreign."
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "I can't help it.
We are in Jiang In the eyes of the Chairman, they are all miscellaneous people, and they are all targets to be suppressed.
However, at this time, the Japanese army is invading.
You said that at this time If we don't think of ways to expand our strength, are we waiting to be captured by Nanjing?
In the two battles of Songhu and Great Wall, the 15th Route Army seemed to be majestic, but in fact almost all the troops sent were beaten into nothingness.
If I can’t find a way to replenish my direct troops and encounter a war next time, what can I do?”
"Brother Jiang is right.
The Chahar Allied Forces were defeated by Nanjing.
Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is indeed a bit aggressive sometimes."
Yang Hucheng nodded with deep understanding.
Ma Qingyuan and the Shaanxi Southern Army a few months ago The incident of escaping south to Sichuan was still fresh in his memory.
"To be honest, if there were more people in the northwest, I wouldn't have made such a move, but Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia are all vast and sparsely populated.
The sum of these areas is not much better than Shaanxi.
There are too few people farming.
Even the current territory of the 15th Route Army is difficult to maintain.
The funds I brought from the Northeast have been almost exhausted.
I don’t know how to survive in the future if I don’t think of a way."
Jiang Li sighed and asked with a smile.
"Brother Yang, do you have any ideas about northern Sichuan?"
"To be honest with Brother Jiang, Nanjing has been keeping a close eye on me during this period.
I don't have Brother Jiang's confidence.
It would be good if I could maintain Shaanxi's current situation."
Yang Hucheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "If Brother Jiang is here, If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best."
"I really need to ask Brother Yang to help me with something."
Jiang Li said, "I plan to build a road into northern Sichuan.
The Shu Road is difficult to travel, and it is even more difficult to build a road directly from Longnan.
If we start construction from Shaanxi, it will be more difficult.
It’s relatively easy.”
"Commander, you must not agree to Jiang Li's similar request again.
Jiang Li was fooled by his promise to build the railway last time.
Now it takes less than a day for the 15th Route Army to transport troops from Lanzhou to Xi'an.
With the strength of the 15th Route Army at this time, , we again Being sandwiched between Henan and Gansu is not a good life."
Yang Hucheng did not give a clear reply to Jiang Li.
After returning, he immediately summoned Chief of Staff Wang Yishan to discuss with his capable officer Sun Weiru.

Before the words were finished, Sun Weiru strongly objected.
"The opening of the railway between Lanzhou and Xi'an is also good for our 17th Route Army.
The 17th Division and the 42nd Division have both changed their equipment.
Isn't it just because of the improvement of tax revenue in the past two years?"
Wang Yishan coughed and said .
"Having said that, our Shaanxi Province has benefited from the railways in general, but the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway paved the way for Jiang Li, borrowing the road from Shaanxi to plot Sichuan.
Jiang Lizai occupied Xinjiang, and now he is plotting against Sichuan.
To say that he is in How much was lost during the Great Wall War of Resistance?
However, the output of its arsenal can still support our 17th Route Army.
If we say that it has not recovered its strength, who will believe it?
The current relationship with the 15th Route Army must be maintained, but we cannot allow the 15th Route Army to continue to expand, otherwise our Shaanxi is not To become a vassal of Gansu” Sun Weiru shook his head and said.
After two years of emergency repairs, Xi'an and Lanzhou, the two most important cities in Shaanxi and Gansu, have been opened to traffic.
In addition to some other benefits, although the bulk of it was taken by Jiang Li, the economy along the railway, the Yanchang Oil Plant, and the ancillary effects brought by some mining plants also made Shaanxi a lot of profits.
Relatively speaking, under Yang Hucheng's rule, The situation in Shaanxi is also relatively stable.
"What does the chairman think about this matter?"
Sun Weiru and Wang Yishan looked at Yang Hucheng respectively.
After all, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway matter can be big or small.
In view of the good relationship with the 15th Route Army in the past, the final decision-making power still rests with Yang Hucheng.
"Li Du, the 10,000 or 20,000 people that Mazhanshan evacuated from the Northeast to Xinjiang via the Soviet Union have also joined the 15th Route Army.
The pace of expansion of the 15th Route Army in the past two years is still too fast.
Now it is called the Northwest Army outside."
A look of confusion flashed across Yang Hucheng's face.
Shaanxi also belongs to the northwest, but now some people call the 15th Route Army the Northwest Army.
It can be seen that Jiang Li has indeed gained the momentum to invade the northwest.
"You said, in order to suppress the attention of the 15th Route Army, is it better to agree or not to agree?"
Sun Weiru and Wang Yishan looked at each other, and finally Wang Yishan said, "It's not good to agree.
Disagreeing will also ruin the previous relationship.
In view of the humble position, it is better to adopt a tacit attitude, neither to declare agreement externally, nor to Not long after Liu Xiang first took over Sichuan, he did not object to Jiang Li's approach.
Although Jiang Li is very determined, he is not someone to be trifled with.
If Jiang Li intends to get involved in northern Sichuan, he will inevitably conflict with Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou and other powerful factions in central Sichuan.
On the one hand, Jiang Li has a good relationship with the chairman, but Jiang Li also has many enemies.
When it offends Sichuan, it needs Shaanxi as its ally.”
"What the chief of staff said makes sense.
When the 15th Route Army is strong, it distracts the opponent's strength.
But for Nanjing, the chairman and Jiang Li are on the same side, and they are both targets to be weakened.
Shaanxi is sandwiched between Gansu and Henan Liuzhi, and it is also We can't have a bad relationship with Jiang Li," Sun Weiru said with a nod.
"In that case, let's do it this way."
Yang Hucheng finally made the decision.
No matter what, the construction of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway will still be of some benefit to Shaanxi
