    Although he tried his best to defeat the National Army, Yan Xishan's heart suddenly became anxious.

    He knew the difficulties of the National Army and knew that this was the Zhang family's plan, but it was a conspiracy and he could do nothing about it.  Now the National Army is licking its wounds. He knows that once the National Army is finished, it will be the time when the Jin Army will face the People's Army.

    "We can't let the National Army escape, leaving them will be a boost to the Jin Army"!  He thought this way, and arranged for his chief of staff Xu Yongchang to meet Zhang Zhijiang secretly, and persuaded them to turn enemies into friends and provide military support.  In his opinion, if the desperate National Army accepted his favor, they would be close to becoming the Yan Family Army.

    But Xu Yongchang ruined his big event.

    As early as when the three parties rebelled against straightness, Zhang Hanqing secretly sent someone to contact Xu Yongchang and persuaded him with the interests of the country.  Although Xu Yongchang is from Shanxi, he is not Yan Xishan's type.  Assisting Yan Xishan during the warlords' melee was regarded as protecting his hometown and the territory. However, when Yan Xishan became the biggest obstacle to national reunification, he became disgusted.

    The last time Feng Yuxiang contacted Yan Xishan to cause rebellion, he firmly opposed it.  Now, for the sake of his own power, Yan Xishan generously "turned enemies into friends", which made Xu Yongchang very dissatisfied.  After receiving this instruction, he agreed without hesitation. In fact, he already had an idea in his mind.

    The National Army¡¯s main camp was at the bottom of Xiaowutai Mountain. The People¡¯s Army surrounded Zhangjiakou and Baoding from the north and south, squeezing them into a long and narrow area.  With no strategic terrain and no room for maneuver, the morale of the army was shattered and a defeat was inevitable.  For Xu Yongchang, who is proficient in military affairs, this army actually has no fighting spirit, and there is little point even if it wants to fight.

    Zhang Zhijiang was surprised by the arrival of Xu Yongchang, but he had no ill intentions. After all, they were all figures that Sun Yixian admired very much, and he still had a warm feeling for him.  The first thing he said when he met Xu was: "Brother Xu, did Commander Yan make any wish to keep the brothers alive?"

    "Neither he nor Yan Xishan are fools. If they are finished, it will definitely be a bad thing for Yan Xishan."  The Jin army stopped advancing after expelling them from Shanxi, which further shows that Yan is the first to protect the family, showing toughness, rather than really trying to kill the Kuomintang army.  At this time, Xu Yongchang came to verify his idea.  All of a sudden, all kinds of calculations came to mind, asking for money and guns from Shanxi.

    But Xu Yongchang only smiled and said: "I am not here to make a wish on behalf of Commander Yan."

    Zhang Zhijiang was surprised, you are Yan Xishan¡¯s chief of staff. If you don¡¯t represent him, who else can he represent?  He didn't speak, but his surprise was already expressed.

    Xu Yongchang said: "Commander Yan asked me to come, but brother, I am only representing myself this time.

    Since the fifth year of the Republic of China, how has China been quiet for one day?  After you fight, I will appear on the scene. One moment, I will protect the country, another moment, I will protect the law, and the next moment, I will fight against thieves. But where is the country?  Where is the law?  Where is the thief?  I didn¡¯t see it. Anyway, I saw the country was in chaos!  After several major wars, the North and the South finally reconciled, but we are still at war with each other internally. When will this situation end?

    Strictly speaking, whether it is the People's Army or the National Army, everyone shares the same belief as Mr. Sun.  I'm not speaking for the Feng Clan. Frankly speaking, the People's Party's attempt to make things worse has far better results than any other party I've seen.  I think it doesn¡¯t matter even if we hand over the country to them. Isn¡¯t the goal we strive for to achieve national unity, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity?

    Now that the country has basically achieved reunification, it is time for the various warlords to end their disputes and implement the unification of military power.  The Jin army and the National Army have made meritorious service to the country before, but now it is time to retreat bravely. This is also a manifestation of their meritorious service to the country.  Otherwise, apart from causing greater war and disaster and giving the country more time, what are the benefits?

    Commander Yan asked me to join forces with the National Army, but privately I disagreed.  With our current strength, including those provinces in the southwest, can we defeat the People's Army?  Our opposition to handing over military power to the People's Army is based on public sentiment or selfishness?  Are we doing better than the PPP?  If the fight continues, we will all be eternal sinners of the country!

    Therefore, I advise Brother Zimin not to think about joining forces with Jin to resist Feng. Just give up when you see fit and lead the army to submit to the central government. This can be regarded as a good deed for the country and the people.  I know you truly believe in God, but do you want God¡¯s people to kill each other here?  "

    These words reached Zhang Zhijiang¡¯s heart.  Although he acted as the commander of the National Army, his abilities were limited and it was difficult to command a group of proud soldiers.  The wars are getting worse and worse, the number of people is getting less and less, and the reputation is getting worse and worse. He no longer wants to be this commander.

    It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t thought about surrendering to the Jin Army before, but I also know that the next target of the People¡¯s Army is the Jin Army, and the strength of the two families is not enough for the other party to drink a pot.  At that time, if the Jin army was defeated again, he would be even more shameless.There are so many people.

    Now even the chief of staff of the Jin army doesn¡¯t want to fight, what else can he say?  Think about his old boss Feng Yuxiang. As soon as the Kuomintang made a statement, he had to obediently go to the Soviet Union to "inspect".  Compared with Feng Yuxiang, I am even worse. Since I have no way to save myself, I might as well stop here and make my final contribution to the country!

    Thinking of this, he happily decided to call off the war and went to Beijing to plead guilty.

    When he woke up and heard such good news, Zhang Hanqing drooled all over the floor.  One of the two coaches went abroad and the other apologized. At this time, the National Army must have been confused.  In order to avoid the recurrence of war and also serve as a reference for Yan Xishan's surrender, Zhang Hanqing magnanimously announced the surrender:

    "No matter what political party or military affiliation, as long as they are united under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Commission under the premise of one China, they are part of the Chinese national defense force, and the central government is fully responsible for their expenditures."

    Zhang Hanqing also appointed generals under Feng¡¯s command. Later, Song Zheyuan, Liu Ruming, Sun Liangcheng, Sun Lianzhong, who were famous in the Anti-Japanese War, and the unknown Ji Hongchang and others were promoted and reused.  In addition to organizing part of the army into local armed police forces, the rest will be dispersed and organized into new armies in the Jinan Military Region.

    As for Zhang Zhijiang, not only is he not guilty, he has also made meritorious service to the country. He deserves a big award and a special award to set an example for others.  Upon Zhang Hanqing's proposal, the central government decided to award Zhang Zhijiang the first-class Peace Medal.

    "However, Zhang Zhijiang refused to receive the medal. He felt that he had already sorry for his old boss, and he did not want to rub salt in his wounds any more.  After many requests, Zhang Hanqing agreed to go abroad and accompanied his old boss Feng Yuxiang to the Soviet Union to "continue" his inspection.

    "In this way, Xu Yongchang used his persuasive words to let tens of thousands of Nationalist troops disarm and return to their fields. He not only solved the Feng Clan, but also weakened the Jin Clan. Killing two birds with one stone is a great achievement.  Of course, he would not tell Yan Xishan about his role. However, Yan Xishan, who knew the news, completely lost trust in him and arranged for him to be the commander-in-chief of the Jin army's war mobilization.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
