Under the low curtain of night, Yan Xishan and Yang Wei didn't speak for a long time. They looked at each other and stood motionless like sculptures.

Yan Xishan looked at Yang Wei. What he was most concerned about now was not the method Yang Wei used to transfer his weapons in public, but the fact that he couldn't figure out Yang Wei's true thoughts.

He is Chiang Kai-shek's think tank and military advisor. According to common sense, he should report his smuggling of arms to Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible. However, Yang Wei pushed Yang Yongtai away, obviously not intending to make this matter a big deal.

Help yourself? No, Yan Xishan immediately rejected such an idea. Yang Wei had no reason to do so. With this unclear intention, there may be a bigger conspiracy hidden.

Yang Wei looked at Yan Xishan calmly. He knew that Yan Xishan must be filled with mixed feelings and thoughts at this time. After a hint of cunning that was not easy to detect flashed in Yang Wei's eyes, he looked at Yan Xishan sincerely and said: "

Chairman Yan

"Please rest assured that Yang Wei is not taking advantage of the situation. As for the military supplies, one thousand Hanyang-made Type 88 rifles, two thousand Mauser pistols and one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition will be returned to the original number. We will return them in the near future."

Send it back to Taiyuan Military Supplies Department."

Yan Xishan looked at Yang Wei with disbelief. He could no longer figure out whether it was Yang Wei or his own ears that had the problem. He blurted out without thinking: "Nonsense! Captain Yang, you have obviously reduced the number by half. This

Can we also ask for the original number to be returned?" Blood Tempered Mountains and Rivers 236

"Reduced by half?" Yang Wei's expression seemed even more surprised than Yan Xishan's. He looked at Yan Xishan in disbelief and said: "So that's two thousand Hanyang-made Type 88 rifles, four thousand Mauser pistols and

Two hundred thousand rounds of ammunition? It seems that ‘Chairman’ Yan is really determined to rebel?”

Yan Xishan suddenly felt bad. It turned out that Yang Wei had been waiting for him here for a long time. Poor Yan Xishan knew that half of his arms had been taken away by Yang Wei, but he could only suffer the loss of being mute in silence.

Even after greeting everyone in Yang Wei's family, I couldn't help but feel angry.

Seeing Yan Xishan lower his head with a look of resignation, Yang Wei nodded with great satisfaction and said obediently: "Chairman Yan, the quantity of military supplies is not the main problem. The problem is Chairman Yan's attitude. Think about it.

,now that

However, being able to entrust the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force to "Chairman" Yan shows that Principal Jiang's trust in "Chairman" is extraordinary. If this fails to impress "Chairman" Yan, I am afraid it is really a bit chilling.

Already."

What Yang Wei said was true. Yan Xishan knew very well the huge difference between the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force and the president of the Executive Yuan of the National Government. Chiang Kai-shek was indeed determined to offer such a bargaining chip.

In comparison, since Yan Xishan had no intention of rebelling against Chiang, but only hoped to sow discord between Feng Yuxiang and Chiang Kai-shek so as to benefit himself, then Yan Xishan's purpose had already succeeded.

Even if he exchanges half the amount of arms for an official position, what Yan Xishan is doing is a sure-win deal. Thinking of this, Yan Xishan suddenly smiled and said repeatedly: "Thank you Principal Jiang for your trust and promotion."

Just as Yan Xishan expressed his enthusiastic attitude, Yang Wei immediately poured cold water on him and said seriously: "Wait a minute, Chairman Yan, there are some things that we haven't discussed clearly yet. I can send the military supplies to Chairman Yan."

, it’s just that this matter is like this

The end seems a bit hasty? Since Principal Jiang has shown his trust in "Chairman" Yan, should "Chairman" make some gesture to show his loyalty? Otherwise, if "Chairman" Yan transfers the Taiyuan Military Supplies Department another day

I’m afraid it’s not easy for Yang Wei to handle military supplies.”

Yan Xishan was stunned for a moment by these words. What he dared to do to Yang Wei was to suppress first and then raise the conditions. He waited for his consent before raising the conditions. He couldn't help but feel a little sullen, but it was hard to get angry. He said in a low voice with dissatisfaction: "Yang

What does the captain want me to do? Why don't you just tell me directly."

Yang Weipi smiled and said: "Let's fight."

After Yan Xishan heard this, he immediately became furious. Even Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to say anything so confidently about handing over military power in front of him. Yang Wei simply regarded himself as a fool. If he handed over military power, he would still have more soldiers in the army.

A foothold? Even if he becomes the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force, it will be in vain!

Before Yan Xishan could get angry, Yang Wei quickly explained: "Chairman Yan has misunderstood. The so-called war is not what Chairman Yan wants."

In Yang Wei's words, it means asking Yan Xishan to temporarily hand over some troops. Anyway, the Jinsui Army is Yan Xishan's flesh and blood, let alone a division and a brigade. Even if he has one soldier or one soldier, he will feel extremely distressed. And Yang Wei

They asked Yan Xishan to hand over his troops as a guarantee and mortgage, so that both parties could be assured of each other.

Yan Xishan's calculations were running fast in his mind, exchanging troops for official positions. The pros and cons were difficult to weigh for a while, not to mention that no one knew the future development. It seemed a bit reckless, so he lowered his voice and said calmly.

: "Captain Yang, leave your own soldiers to others

It's always easy to cause trouble for others, isn't this a bit too cumbersome? What's more, soldiers are like guns and cannons. They not only need to be maintained regularly, but also tempered regularly. Wouldn't it be wrong to raise them like idlers?

Is it the same as leaving a gun in a warehouse to be scrapped?"

Yang Wei couldn't help but smile and wave his hands: "Chairman Yan is overly worried. After handing over the troops, he will naturally not be idle all the time. What I mean is that I hope Chairman Yan will hand over a certain amount of troops. Likewise, I will hand over the troops."

With the same number of troops, these soldiers are organized into a coalition, so that there will be no problem of distrust between you and me."

After listening to Yang Wei's suggestion, which was not only novel but also seemed to be reliable, Yan Xishan pondered for a long time and pointed out the key issue without hesitation: "Then I dare to ask, who will control the coalition forces?"

"This..." Yang Wei pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "I have a good idea. How about this, each of us sends five divisions to form a coalition army, and hand over the other troops.

Give the other party control. Whoever surrenders more troops than the other party can take control of the coalition forces. How about this? Yan

Don't worry, "Chairman," this matter is a secret between you and me. No one else knows about it. On the one hand, it is to prove to "Chairman" Yan that I will not tell the principal about the military's weapons. On the other hand, I hope that

"Chairman Yan" can prove that he will never collude with others again. Isn't this a great way to get the best of both worlds and bring people closer to each other?"

Yang Wei suddenly proposed such a concept, and Yan Xishan couldn't react for a while, but he could easily hear Yang Wei's intention to build a relationship, which made Yan Xishan very happy. If Yang Wei can help, it will be more effective than the two Feng Yuxiangs.

Although he seemed to understand, he agreed to Yang Wei's request and said excitedly: "So, how will this fight be fought?"

Yang Wei shook his five fingers and said: "Now the coalition army has ten divisions. I will hand over five divisions to Chairman Yan. If your strength is lower than mine, the command will have to be handed over to me."

Yan Xishan immediately said: "I will give you six." Quenching Blood Mountains and Rivers 236

"Seven."

"Eight!"

Yan Xishan gritted his teeth with an evil look on his face. You must know that the coalition army has ten divisions. As long as it is less than this number, it will definitely make a profit. However, Yang Wei on the opposite side hesitated, pondered for a moment and then shook his head helplessly.

Said: "Chairman Yan, Yang Wei is ashamed of his lack of troops. As long as you give me the strength of eight divisions, the command of the coalition forces will be handed over to you!"

"Okay!" Yan Xishan said loudly with joy: "Deal!"

As a result, Yan Xishan handed over eight divisions to Yang Wei in exchange for the command of a coalition consisting of five divisions each from Yan Xishan and Yang Wei. Yang Wei, who left sadly, looked at the stars in the sky and sighed: "
Chapter completed!
