Chapter 96: The Strategy of Clearing the Cage to Replace the Bird

"Commander!"

"You should go find Jiang Mingsan now!"

Hearing this, Deng Xihou patted his own head, "I was so angry I became muddled!"

"De Cao, you stay at the train station!"

"You have traveled a long distance, get some good rest!"

Looking at Sun Zhen, Deng Xihou gave a few more instructions, then he took his men and headed toward the Changan Field Headquarters.

Arriving at the Changan Field Headquarters!

Is this Principal being sincere, or is he preparing to round up all the provincial warlords of the country in one fell swoop?!

"This student has received a telegram from Commander Yan of the 2nd War Zone."

To let the various warlords within Sichuan Province immediately lead the Sichuan Army out of Sichuan, to complete his grand plan of "clearing the cage to replace the bird."

"The high-ranking military and political officials in Jinling must be thinking of countermeasures, preparing to stab our 22nd Group Army in the back."

Pushing the door open and entering, Dai Chunfeng handed the telegram to the Principal: "Principal!"

The Principal simply did not believe that if he unleashed this combination of blows, the 22nd Group Army could withstand it!?

Changan Train Station!

After Deng Xihou returned!

"Right now I have two words: re-equip!"

"Seeing that look on Jiang Mingsan, an expression of being extremely angry yet not daring to show it, I am very happy."

After the Principal felt there were no problems, he had Dai Chunfeng hurry to send the telegram.

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua, his face full of smiles.

The other various warlords, seeing that the Guangxi Clique was fine, also each headed to Jinling.

"Must arrive at the 2nd War Zone within the stipulated time, otherwise the 22nd Group Army will be tried by a Military Tribunal!"

Seeing Deng Xihou looking at him, Yu Hua grinned.

For Yu Hua!

He has now thwarted the Nanjing Command's plan to "steal the house," and they certainly will not truly give up on Sichuan Province.

"Principal!"

This needs to be planned out well!

While the Principal was thinking of countermeasures in his office.

"Thinking he would really provide equipment!"

The Principal learned that his "clearing the cage to replace the bird" strategy had now gone bankrupt, and he was also very angry inside.

This probably won't work!

It was still the Principal who, before the War of Resistance, first showed his sincerity.

Hearing this, the Principal had Dai Chunfeng hurry in.

After taking the telegram, the Principal gave it a rough glance.

The Principal's grand plan of deception had actually been seen through.

He first knocked on the door lightly.

Bai Zhuge entered Jinling, and the Principal valued him highly!

He received Bai Zhuge with great importance because the movements of the Guangxi Clique were a reference point for the other warlords.

"Next, how should my Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army take precautions?!"

"However, after my Group Army's Deputy Commander-in-Chief arrives at the 2nd War Zone."

Once Bai Zhuge was truly placed under house arrest, Li Delin remaining to guard Guangxi Province could also ensure the Guangxi Army would not fall into chaos.

"At first we all truly believed the Principal's words!"

Li Delin remained to guard Guangxi Province; of the two giants of the Guangxi Clique, one went and one stayed.

At the same time, the Principal also ordered Jiang Mingsan to urge the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army to head north as soon as possible.

He also sent invitations to the warlords of other provinces across the country to arrive in Jinling to discuss national affairs and resist foreign enemies together.

Sun Zhen, who was to the side, stepped forward and looked at Yu Hua: "According to your estimation, what will the Nanjing Command do?"

Now he had also immediately recovered the brain of a Crystal Monkey.

Jiang Mingsan looked at the departing Deng Xihou, and he was also very unhappy in his heart.

Watching the two men who cherished each other, Sun Zhen also awkwardly scratched his own head.

At that time, the Guangxi Army, Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army, Jin-Sui Army, Lu Army, and other warlords had all received the Principal's warm invitation.

At that time, when Bai Zhuge and Li Delin received the Principal's invitation, they were also very surprised.

"This hand was played well; if I hadn't discovered it early!"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

After Bai Zhuge and Li Delin consulted, Bai Zhuge decided to personally head north into Jinling to go take a look first.

Deng Xihou grinned and said: "Fine!"

"Just now I went to the Changan Field Headquarters and gave them a harsh talking-to."

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Bai Zhuge was in Jinling, and the Principal entrusted him with important tasks!

The Principal suddenly thought of a strategy!

"Yunong, draft a telegram!"

After all, Zhang Hanqing is a cautionary tale!

These Sichuan Army soldiers are usually silly, so how have they become so shrewd now?

These warlords are all worried: if they go to Jinling, will they even be able to come back?!

He sought out Yu Hua, "Good lad!"

After Deng Xihou was prompted by him, he became suspicious of the orders from the Nanjing Command.

"Two hundred cotton-padded coats!"

Otherwise, you will be dealt with according to military law!

"My 22nd Group Army has tens of thousands of men, and Yan Laoxi only intends to give us twenty Jin-made Czech Light Machine Guns."

"Given Principal's temperament, the equipment for our tens of thousands of Sichuan Army soldiers..."

Among the various warlords in Sichuan Province, Deng Xihou is nicknamed the Crystal Monkey.

But, if this Weaponry is not provided now, the Sichuan Army probably won't obediently head north to fight the devils.

"Time!" Deng Xihou and Yu Hua said simultaneously.

The division of the Sichuan Army has been completed; the first step of the plan has taken effect.

"You say the Nanjing Command ordered my 22nd Group Army to go to the 2nd War Zone to re-equip!"

"We must follow the original order to re-equip in Baoji!"

"This is the telegram, please take a look!"

Hearing this, Yu Hua grinned and said: "Commander!"

"Creak!"

"We have overturned the Nanjing Command's bottom line this time; they certainly won't let it go easily."

To get the Sichuan Army to leave Sichuan and fight the devils as soon as possible, Principal used Weaponry as bait.

Everyone is uneasy; Principal is now inviting them to head north to Jinling to discuss the grand strategy against the enemy.

Seeing Yan Laoxi say that the 22nd Group Army does not submit to the management of the 2nd War Zone, the main force has not yet accelerated its marching speed.

The Sichuan Army leaving Sichuan as soon as possible and becoming centralized is a plan personally designated by Principal of the Nanjing Command.

Now that this scheme has been seen through, they want to rely on Weaponry to hoodwink the Sichuan Army.

Sun Zhen was also surprised to see the two speak in unison.

"Yan Laoxi doesn't mention the re-equipping at all; he just keeps pushing the Sichuan Army to head north."

Deng Xihou's gaze looked as if it were spitting fire, burning as he looked at Jiang Mingsan.

This question of his!

It really made the two of them think of the next step of the plan.

Jiang Mingsan immediately made contact with Principal in Jinling.

"This is the generosity of the 2nd War Zone!"

Dai Chunfeng arrived at the door of Principal's office holding a telegram.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Principal was holding a talk at Lushan for people from all walks of life across the country.

"Order the 22nd Group Army to accelerate their marching speed."

"My 22nd Group Army would likely have become a sacrifice long ago."

Among them, for Bai Zhuge and Li Delin of the Guangxi Clique, Principal even dispatched special personnel to Guangxi Province to extend invitations.

"He never intended to give it at all; he relied entirely on his own mouth to hoodwink us!"

Sun Zhen's words left Yu Hua and Deng Xihou lost in deep thought.

Yu Hua, who made a name for himself in Songhu, really has a good head on his shoulders; he thought of it so quickly.

Dropping this sentence, Deng Xihou stood up: "Handle it yourself!"

"Mingsan, you are kicking the ball around now, wanting my 22nd Group Army to head north."

As long as the Guangxi Clique makes a move, and he produces enough sincerity, the other warlords will also arrive in Jinling one after another.

After meeting Jiang Mingsan, Deng Xihou got straight to the point: "Mingsan!"

The Sichuan Army has already been successfully divided by him into three routes to leave Sichuan!

Furthermore, Principal has already planned a war zone for each route of the Sichuan Army.

After Dai Chunfeng finished drafting the telegram, he showed it to Principal.

The Sichuan Army commanders completely believed that Principal would provide the equipment.

Just like that!

Warlords from every province in the country gathered in Jinling to discuss the grand strategy against the enemy together.

The warlords gathered in Jinling also received a warm reception from Principal.
