Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Brazil hurried away, Mao Zedong led his troops out of the danger zone

"Get up! Get up! Let's go!" Kaifeng urgently called out to the members of the Third Central Team formed in Maoergai. Whether they were struggling in a bitter nightmare or soaked in a vaguely sweet dream, the team members were awakened by a sudden call. Liu Ying opened her eyes and asked urgently: "What's wrong!" Cai Chang then asked: "Where are you going? It's so dark!" Without waiting for everyone to ask more questions, Kai Feng quickly said: "Don't ask anyone, just go!" The three central teams gathered quickly, and Kaifeng said to everyone:

"Don't make a sound, don't light a torch, don't cough, follow me one by one!" Deng Yingchao's tuberculosis became more serious due to the lack of medicines, the torture of life in the snowy mountains and grasslands, and the lack of nutrition.She didn't know what happened, and she left in such a hurry.She was sitting on a stretcher, vaguely carried by two stretcher bearers.Usually, she often coughs and coughs up blood.This terrible rapid march, march at night, and not allowed to cough, really suffocated her to death.When she wanted to cough, she had to cover her mouth with a piece of cloth to keep silent.She was puzzled, wondering what this was for?What happened?The doubts in my heart are getting bigger and bigger.

A long team hurried forward silently in the night mist.Only the slight rustling sound of footsteps touching leaves and small stones on the ground can be heard from time to time.The moon in the sky was hidden by dark clouds, and it was dark all around.A few lonely cold stars seem to be sick, hanging dimly on the edge of the dark winter sky, blinking sleepy eyes there weakly.The night mist soaked everyone's thin military uniforms, soaked the hands and faces of the night walkers, and soaked in cold water. Some accidentally fell down, but Erhuo didn't say to get up quickly and go on their way.In the past, it was inevitable to scold and vent your anger, but now the steel-like discipline does not allow it at all.Even if the broken wound is bleeding, no moan is allowed.

What the hell is this for?Only a few people such as Mao Zedong know. The third team of the Central Committee marched for more than 10 miles in a hurry, crossed a mountain pass, and stopped to catch their breath. In the thick night, Liu Ying, Cai Chang and the others heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind like a drum. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Luo Fu and Bo Gu running over on horseback, followed by a few secret agents member. When everyone saw that it was Luo Fu running over, greet him quickly, Cai Chang asked anxiously: "What's going on in such a hurry to leave in the middle of the night?"

Luo Fu panted heavily on the horse and said hastily: "Now Zhang Guotao is splitting, we have to leave here. Of course we still have to find a way to fight for not splitting. However, the current situation is very urgent. The 30th Army found out that we were acting suddenly. Li Te led his team to chase after them. Chen Geng, Song Renqiong and the others The cadre regiment is on the top of the mountain over there. You run to the north quickly." Luo Fu finished speaking in one breath, and without letting Liu Ying and the others answer, he steered the horse forward. "Ah! So that's what happened." Liu Ying said to Cai Chang beside her in the dark night.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Te, the dean of education of the Red Army University, led the first part of the Fourth Front Army and some students from the Red Army University student regiment to chase northward for more than 30 miles. Messy.Mao Zedong and several of his secret agents stood beside a lama temple on the side of the road, as if deliberately waiting for Li Te and his party.Mao Zedong lit a cigarette in his hand, his expression extremely calm. It began to rain. Mao Zedong looked seriously at Li Te, who was carrying a large revolver, and nodded to him.Li Te stared at Mao Zedong without speaking.

A few young red college students held up slogans written on blue paper, "Oppose Mao Zedong's Escape" and "Oppose Right Opportunism", and shouted from the sidelines, their voices were not very loud, and they seemed to be trembling a little. Obviously very reluctantly.In the past they often heard Mao Zedong's name and knew some of his deeds, but most of the students had never seen Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong laughed when he heard the students shouting slogans. Mao Zedong said to Li Te: "Call everyone to the Lama Temple, I have something to tell you, stand outside, don't let the students get gonorrhea."

Adviser Li De happened to be passing the Lama Temple on horseback at this time. Since he was not used to and did not like to march quickly at night, he moved slowly and almost walked last.Originally, he had received the transfer notice at midnight last night, and he also woke up Mo Wenhua, the political commissar of the Red Army University, and urgently notified Mo Wenhua: "Get up, the central government has decided to go north, and the order is here. You send the people around you Organize well, and pay close attention to Li Te, and don't let him take the team away." At this time, Li De heard the students of Hongda University shouting slogans against Mao Zedong, and he didn't understand, so he stopped in his tracks to see what happened.Li De saw Li Te standing there angrily again, facing Mao Zedong, and thought something was wrong, and he was even more reluctant to leave.Li De knew Li Te better. He knew that Li Te had a bad temper and liked to scold others. At this time, Mao Zedong, who was condemned, was weak and alone. He was very worried that something unfortunate would happen.Li De, who was usually considered violent and careless by everyone, seemed careful and scheming at this critical moment.

Soldiers from the Fourth Front Army and students from the Red University entered the Lama Temple by the roadside one after another. Li Te and his special agents followed suit. The few young students shouting slogans were still ordered to shout slogans against Mao Zedong, their voices were intermittent, like monks in a temple chanting scriptures. Standing in the center of the crowd, Mao Zedong said unhurriedly to everyone with a cigarette in his hand: "The policy of going north was decided by the Party Central Committee long ago, and General Political Commissar Zhang also raised his hand. Do you know that? Now, in order to gain an opportunity, the Party Central Committee has formed the 'Northward Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment' to go northward first. The three armies have set off last night. Comrade If you want to go south, please do it; if you want to go north, please do it, and you will never be forced. However, I want to tell you that there is no way out for going south. As for comrades who do not want to go north with the Party Central Committee, you can wait. The vanguard goes first."

Mao Zedong took a puff of cigarette, paused and continued: "Let's go first to open up a new base area. In order to complete our mission, we welcome everyone to join our team. I believe that after a year, you will come .” As soon as Mao Zedong finished speaking, Li Te jumped up, held down the big revolver on his waist with one hand, pointed at Mao Zedong with the other and said loudly: "You Mao Zedong abandoned the Jiangxi Soviet area, practiced escapeism, and now you are splitting, ordering the army on the one hand to flee secretly, you—" Li De saw that Li Te was very presumptuous, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and cause some bad consequences.So he strode over, his hands gripped Li Te's body tightly like iron tongs, and said loudly in Russian:

"What are you going to do?" Lite struggled and replied loudly in Russian: "Never mind! Go away, you Royalist!" Li Te had studied military affairs in Leningrad, Soviet Union in the early 1930s, so it goes without saying that he could speak Russian. When Li De heard Li Te call him a "royalist", he was annoyed and said angrily: "On the one hand, it is right for the army to go north, but to flee south is to be afraid of the enemy, coward!" Both hands still tightly hugged Li Te's arm and did not let go. Li Te got angry and said loudly to the students of Hongda University: "Shouting slogans!" The few young students who were ordered to shout slogans started to shout again, the same few words, but the voice was louder than before. As soon as the slogan stopped, Li Te said loudly to Li De: "We don't go with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. They are lackeys of the Soviet Union. They want to take you to the Soviet Union! Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai went north to escape and surrender to imperialism!" Mao Zedong calmly looked at Li Te, who was about to go crazy, and took a few puffs of cigarettes. After a while, Li Te shouted at Li De again: "Mao Zedong approved you at the Zunyi Politburo meeting, but you still cover Mao Zedong!" Li De said unconvinced: "Mao Zedong's current proposition is correct, and there is nothing wrong with going north." Mao Zedong cast a knowing glance at Li De from the side.He saw Li De and Li Te hugging each other, arguing fiercely with each other, walked over to separate them with his hands, and reprimanded Li Te loudly: "Li Te, don't be so rampant! Stop talking nonsense here!" Seeing that Mao Zedong was angry, Li Te stopped talking. The Fourth Front Army present heard what Mao Zedong said at the beginning, and thought that there was some truth in it, and none of them said anything.The students who were shouting slogans didn't dare to shout weakly anymore, so they had to stand there timidly. Like a deflated ball, Li Te wilted and said to the person he brought: "Go! Let's go back. Let them go and see what good results they have?" Then Li Te led the troops and turned around and walked towards Banyou's road. Mao Zedong also set off with his secret agents and Li De, and set foot on the road to the north, running counter to Li Te. Mao Zedong rode his horse down from the Lama Temple, passed a wooden bridge, crossed a river, and then whipped his horse and galloped northeast. Mao Zedong was quite uneasy on the horse, with mixed feelings.At this moment, he only had one thought, to catch up with the headquarters of the Three Army Corps and see if they were out of danger. Mao Zedong and his party galloped up the rolling Baozuo River, and climbed over several high mountains with difficulty.On some mountains, there is still snow at night, which is about to melt.Mao Zedong did not drink a sip of water or eat a handful of fried green tree noodles in order to hurry.Suffering from dry mouth, dry tongue, and hunger.At noon, in a small, uninhabited village, I finally met Peng Dehuai. When Mao Zedong saw Peng Dehuai, he hurriedly asked: "Have Ye Jianying and Yang Shangkun come?" "The two of them are at the headquarters." "When did you come?" "It's also just arrived." "Take me to see them." Mao Zedong dismounted and followed Peng Dehuai to a house in the center of the village. Seeing that Ye Jianying and Yang Shangkun were indeed there, Mao Zedong said pleasantly: "Jianying, Shangkun, you finally escaped, I'm worried! I'm afraid Chen Changhao will take you hostage. How did you escape?" At this time, Yang Shangkun was no longer the political commissar of the Three Armies, but instead served as the deputy director of the General Political Department, and Chen Changhao was also the director of the General Political Department.Mao Zedong believed that Yang Shangkun and Chen Changhao were working together and it was not easy to escape, so he was particularly concerned about his situation. Yang Shangkun said: "When I left at two o'clock last night, I also told others to 'grain'. If you want to 'go south', you must always prepare some food, and the people in the General Political Department are no exception. In this way, Chen Changhao was given to Hu. It's over." Mao Zedong asked Ye Jianying: "Then, that headquarters of yours doesn't always go 'grain hunting', what should we do?" Ye Jianying replied: "At around one o'clock last night, I quietly went to Shang Kun to discuss how to get out. We conceived several plans. One way was to leave early, but I couldn't think about it. Once we left, didn't we expose our intentions; one way was to leave late Let’s go, and then I thought about leaving late, and I might not be able to get out. Another way is to go with everyone at two o’clock. At two o’clock, I found Shang Kun, and left quickly.” Yang Shangkun went on to say: "After we left Brazil, we walked for about 10 miles. Jianying suddenly remembered that his luggage hadn't been taken out, and he was a little anxious. But the matter has come to this point, and we can't take care of it so much. It's fine if the main people come out. Who knows Jianying's That civil servant is very powerful, no matter whether he interferes or not, he rolled up his luggage, picked it up on a mule and left, and after about an hour, he arrived at us." Mao Zedong smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.Lighted a cigarette, took a sip, sucked his lower lip and said: "You still went smoothly, and you were not captured by others." Ye Jianying immediately said: "It's not going well! After leaving Brazil, we walked for about four or fifty minutes, and heard the sound of horseshoes behind us, coming from far and near. Fortunately, the moonlight in the sky was not clear, and it was often covered by dark clouds, making the ground blurry. We were vigilant and quickly hid in the grass on the side of the road. After a while, a group of cavalry ran past us, and the swinging horsetails swept our faces. It was itchy and painful. I panicked for a while, thinking about this The situation was terrible. I held my breath and dared not move. Fortunately, God bless me, I was not spotted by the cavalry sent by Chen Changhao to chase us. Otherwise, I would not have seen Chairman Mao today." Yang Shangkun went on to say: "Fortunately, there is no one on the road. We are the two of us walking on the road. If there are a lot of secret agents and civil servants, it will be bad. Chen Changhao mainly wants to catch the two of us back. Once we catch up with the team of the Third Army, Chen Changhao The cavalry would not dare to chase us." Mao Zedong smiled bitterly, shook his head, sighed deeply, and then asked Ye Jianying: "Did you bring out the map?" Ye Jianying shook the black leather bag in front of Mao Zedong, and said mysteriously: "Put it inside." Mao Zedong praised happily and said: "Jianying, you are really capable, how did you get it?" Ye Jianying said: "This military map seized from Hu Zongnan contains the situation of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces. It is very important. I know that we need it very much when we go north. This map is hung in the former enemy headquarters of the Lama Temple. In the temple, there are staff officers on duty all day long, and Chen Changhao often comes in and out. How can I take it away? It’s hard to act. The time for departure is getting closer and closer, and I’m so anxious that I can’t help it , In a hurry, I deliberately knocked the map away when I was sleeping at night. It happened that my bed was next to the map. I took the opportunity to 'train' the staff, saying that there is only such a precious map. Why hang it here? It's easy. What should I do if I touch it and break it? Hurry up and put it away! So the staff officer rolled up the map obediently and put it in this cowhide bag." Mao Zedong stretched out his thumb: "You, Ye Jianying, are really scheming!" Mao Zedong asked Yang Shangkun again with concern: "Where's Li Bozhao?" "Li Bozhao sent Li Xiannian to the 30th Army to teach songs. She left two days ago. If she stayed two days later. But it's not okay. If she stays and doesn't let her go, she will be killed It aroused people's suspicion, why didn't she suddenly let her go? Yesterday, I heard that Zhang Guotao called the Central Committee, but he still didn't agree to go north. , As soon as the special agent went there, he was arrested." Mao Zedong chuckled: "I say you Yang Shangkun, Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to secure the world, lost his wife and lost his army." Yang Shangkun also laughed: "Fortunately, only one soldier was lost." In the early morning of the next day, just as Xu Xiangqian got up, he received a report that Ye Jianying was missing, and the military map of the headquarters was also missing.Xu Xiangqian was taken aback, stunned, and sat on the bed for half an hour speechless.I thought to myself what happened, and I didn't tell me when I left!He was unprepared, his heart was heavy, his heart was confused, and his head was numb.A burst of "jingling" on the phone woke him up from his numbness. Xu Xiangqian walked to the window, picked up the microphone, and asked the other party deeply: "Hello—where? What's the matter?" "I'm the headquarters of the 30th Army. I'm reporting to Commander Xu. On the one hand, the army ran north last night and set up a guard post. Do you want to fight or not!" Xu Xiangqian was about to answer, when Chen Changhao rushed into the room angrily, reported to Xu Xiangqian the content of the phone call just now, and asked Xu Xiangqian: "What should I do? Should I shoot or not?" Xu Xiangqian's head seemed to be hit suddenly by someone, and with a "buzz", it seemed that it was about to explode. He slapped his thigh with his fist in great pain: "There is no reason for the Red Army to fight the Red Army! Tell them to obey the command, no matter what!" Chen Changhao opened his big eyes with indignation and confusion: "Dog egg, really annoying!" After a while, news of the departure of the army on the one hand spread quickly.The former enemy headquarters was in a state of chaos, with people coming and going.There were accusations and scolding one after another, and the headquarters had never been so lively.After a while, this man ran into Xu Xiangqian's room and asked what was going on?After a while, the man ran in to ask again, and said some nasty words.Some cadres who didn't know the truth even waved their shell guns and shouted angrily: "Catch those fleeing elements back!" "If you don't come back, you will shoot!" "Commander, give the order quickly!" Is it an explanation?Is it dissuasion?Is it to stop it?Xu Xiangqian was also left speechless by this sudden incident.In any case, there are thousands of things, and he firmly remembers one thing in his heart, the Red Army cannot kill each other!Facing the angry crowd, he waved a hand and said: "You go out, let me think about it." Xu Xiangqian closed the door, lay on the bed, covered his head.Don't say a word.After a while, Chen Changhao broke into Xu Xiangqian's house, his face was ashen, his eyes were red, and he said loudly as if he came here intentionally to quarrel with Xu Xiangqian: "Mao Zedong, Luo Fu, and Bogu are too outrageous. They ran away without saying a word. Communists, do things aboveboard. How can there be a little bit of Bolshevik smell in this? It is simply right opportunism, escape behavior! Dog! egg!" Xu Xiangqian sat on the bed and held his head tightly in his hands, not speaking.Confusion, anger, dissatisfaction and restlessness fill the heart. Chen Changhao said to Xu Xiangqian again: "This kind of thing is so irritating. I have already sent a telegram to Political Commissar Zhang, telling him that the army on the one hand has fled to the north. Moving forward, what should we do next?" Xu Xiangqian shook his head in pain: "It's too sudden, too sudden, and I don't know what to do!" Chen Changhao vented for a while, and walked out in a rage. At night, Xu Xiangqian tossed and turned on the wooden bed, unable to sleep all night.Since joining the revolution, he has never encountered such a major accident in the Chinese Communist Party, and has never suffered such a serious "blow".I was extremely conflicted, extremely painful, and extremely sad.Some of his past events on the revolutionary journey came to his mind unexpectedly. Xu Xiangqian was born in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi. His father was a scholar and taught in the school.He has 5 siblings: two older sisters, one older brother, and he is the fourth. When Xu Xiangqian was a child, he attended a private school in Mount Wutai for three years, and then attended a regular elementary school for three years.Later, he worked as a clerk in a bookstore.Soon entered Taiyuan Normal School to study.After graduation, he worked as a teacher at the primary school attached to Wutaishan Zhuangzhi Middle School, a school founded by Yan Xishan. At that time, Shanxi was ruled by warlords, the political reactionary society was backward, and it was difficult for progressive books and ideas to be introduced.But when Japan took the opportunity to present the "21" to China during World War I in 1915, Xu Xiangqian, as a leader of student demonstrations, spoke to people on the streets of Taiyuan for the first time.A bloody man, unwilling to be reconciled to the aggression and bullying by the Japanese invaders, began to fight against the evil society. In order to seek revolution, Xu Xiangqian went to Guangzhou, the center of the revolution at that time, in 1924, entered the Whampoa Military Academy, and joined the Kuomintang.At that time, Xu Xiangqian was only 22 years old. Xu Xiangqian's father did not want his son to do these "dangerous" things, and strongly opposed his various acts of aspiring to revolution.Xu Xiangjin only told his brother about the Whampoa Military Academy, and he fled to Guangzhou behind his conservative father's back.At that time, he was married and had a daughter who was waiting to be fed.For his own pursuit, he didn't care about anything.As a result, not long after he arrived at the Whampoa Military Academy, his wife died of illness. Xu Xiangqian was the first graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was in the same class as Hu Zongnan, who was later his deadly enemy.After graduating, he served as the squad leader and started the Eastern Expedition to crusade against Chen Jiongming.Later, he fought against Yan Xishan, young and vigorous, brave and fearless.In two years, he was promoted to deputy head. When the National Revolutionary Army occupied Wuhan in 1926, Xu Xiangqian joined the Communist Party of China here, and then went to Guangzhou to participate in leading an armed riot.He successively served as the party representative of the tenth regiment of the fourth division of the Red Army, the chief of staff of the fourth division, and the division commander. In 1929, he was sent to northeast Hubei by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, where he served as the deputy division commander of the 31st Division of the 11th Army of the Red Army, a member of the Hubei-Henan Border Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, and chairman of the Hubei-Henan Border Revolutionary Military Committee.Participated in the command of the troops to defeat the three "suppression meetings" of the Kuomintang army, and consolidated and expanded the revolutionary bases in Hubei, Henan and Anhui.When he participated in the revolutionary struggle leading the Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Soviet areas, he met Zhang Guotao, and together with Zhang Guotao, he made an indomitable struggle to expand the base area. In the spring of 1930, Xu Xiangqian served as the deputy commander of the First Red Army and the commander of the first division. He led his troops to Lianke Yunmeng, Guangshan, Luotian and other counties. At the beginning of 1931, the First Red Army and the Fifteenth Army were combined into the Fourth Red Army, and he served as the chief of staff.Participated in commanding troops to defeat the first and second "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang army.In July of the same year, he served as the commander of the Fourth Red Army and led his troops to fight in the south, including Keyingshan and other four cities, which shocked Wuhan. In November, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Red Army and the commander of the Fourth Red Army, and was elected as a member of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Chinese Soviet Republic.Since then, he has organized and commanded the battles of Huang'an, Shang (Cheng) Huang (Chuan), Sujiabu, and Huang (Chuan) Guang (Mountain), smashed the third "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang army, and won a series of major victories. In October 1932, he led the main force of the Fourth Army of the Red Army to march westward. After many hardships, he went to Sichuan. Together with Zhang Guotao, he led the establishment of the Sichuan-Shanxi Revolutionary Base.Continuously commanding the Red Army to counterattack the enemy's "three-way siege" and "six-way siege", he worked hard and worked hard, and finally won one great victory after another.In order to cooperate with the Long March of the First Army, he and Zhang Guotao commanded the Fourth Army to forcibly cross the Jialing River. Looking back, he has worked with Zhang Guotao and Chen Changhao for five or six years. Sometimes they cooperated well, sometimes not at all;He has opinions and views on some of Zhang Guotao's practices.For example, he once resisted Zhang Guotao's "suppression of counterrevolutionaries" and expanded his mistakes, and spoke for Xu Jishen who was persecuted by Zhang Guotao.He was dissatisfied with Zhang Guotao's behavior of excluding dissidents for the sake of personal power.As a result, after the rendezvous of the two armies, he once told Chen Changhao that he wanted to leave the Fourth Front Army and go to the Central Committee to do some specific work.However, if the Right Route Army accepted the order of the Central Committee to go north alone, it would be tantamount to dividing the Fourth Front Army into two halves, and he was reluctant to do so.The Fourth Front Army was developed by Xu Xiangqian from childhood to adulthood. He, Xu Xiangqian, worked a lot and sweated a lot. He and everyone spent a lot of hard work, bullets and bullets, and went through life and death to form such a team. It is really not easy. what!Divided into two halves, each going to one side, he couldn't accept it either intellectually or emotionally. If he accepted Zhang Guotao's instructions and led the right army southward, he would defy the central policy and not be consistent with the central government.Because the Party Central Committee’s policy of going north is not determined arbitrarily, and comrades in the Politburo have studied it time and time again, and it cannot be said that it is wrong.How about going north?Or go south?What a waste of scrutiny, what a dilemma!Now, on the one hand, the army marched northward alone, "leaving without saying goodbye", and he felt that Xu Xiangqian seemed to be "abandoned" by the party.Go north with the Party Central Committee?Or follow Zhang Guotao to the south?It's too hard to decide, it's hard to take a step.Going north, I can only bring a special agent and ride to chase the Central Committee, because Chen Changhao is a political commissar, he doesn't nod, Xu Xiangqian can't lead the team alone, at most he can only quietly take away a few people.What should we do in the future?How should the road go?All of a sudden, he seemed to have turned into a kite with broken strings, floating wildly in the strong wind, losing support, and in the dark night, Xu Xiangqian cried bitterly on the wooden bed. But Zhang Guotao felt a little restless after sending a secret telegram to Chen Changhao after brushing the golden temple.He figured out several situations and situations that would arise by himself.One is that Mao Zedong and others, under the auspices of the former enemy headquarters Chen Changhao and others, obediently went south, acted according to his will, and finally "achieved".One situation is that Mao Zedong and others are dissatisfied, and Chen Changhao is "thoroughly launching the inner-party struggle" according to his will.Zhang Guotao believed that Mao Zedong and others could not defeat Chen Changhao, because he knew that the First Army in the First Army had already marched northward to Gannan, Mao Zedong and others were surrounded by only three or four thousand people from the Third Army, and the Fourth Army had the Third Army, Fourth Army, etc. There are 20,000 to 30,000 troops.Zhang Guotao thought that Mao Zedong would not dare to compete with him.There is another situation in which Mao Zedong did not come up with a hard line, but adopted a soft line.If so, Chen Changhao might be difficult to deal with.Of course, he hopes that the first situation will appear, and he will only use the second method as a last resort. He hopes that the third situation will not occur. On the one hand, Zhang Guotao was anxiously waiting for Chen Changhao's call at the general headquarters, and on the other hand, he sent a telegram to order the various units of the Left Route Army to suspend their advance.It took three days for the Left Route Army to cross the grass, and it rained heavily on the way back. The troops were extremely tired, diseases increased, and there were frequent attrition.Under Zhang Guotao's erroneous instructions, the Left Route Army, which had already marched north, crossed the grass twice and suffered a lot of losses. Zhang Guotao finally looked forward to Chen Changhao's telegram. Chen Changhao said in the urgent telegram: The telegram also stated that Mao Zedong and others automatically and directly ordered the First and Third Army Corps to "go northward" because the former enemy headquarters had opened the passage to the north, and on the grounds that the left army was blocked by water and could no longer wait and missed the opportunity. In the name of "advance team", they marched northward in secret alone.The telegram also stated that the central government agencies and the First and Third Army Corps moved secretly at night, and that the First and Third Army Corps, which had been tasked with guarding against the enemy, withdrew without an explanation.Some of the garrisons of the Fourth Front Army were completely exposed and vulnerable to enemy attacks. When the former enemy headquarters found out about this, the rear personnel of the First and Third Army Corps told them that this operation was directly ordered by the Central Committee. After Zhang Guotao read it, he was furious.He never expected that Mao Zedong would have such a trick, and he was furious and cursed loudly in the headquarters office alone: "Right opportunism! Escapism! You don't even talk about faith at all. What kind of Bolsheviks are you?" Zhang Guotao's face was flushed, and he kept walking back and forth in the room. Because of being too excited, his face turned from crimson to pale after a while.He pondered and fiddled in his heart.This is nothing but Mao Zedong's trick to get rid of the shell: use the Northward route opened by the Fourth Front Army after a major sacrifice, slip away quietly, and ignore most of the other comrades and troops; With the help of the central authorities and various dignitaries, Chiang Kai-shek would mistakenly believe that the center of gravity of the CCP is still Mao Ergai, and the arrow of attack will not point to his detachment.How cunning, the wily and calculating Mao Zedong made such a wonderful move!Kill two birds with one stone.Mao Zedong and others can slip away safely, and push the spearhead of the enemy's attack to me.Zhang Guotao believed that the reason why Mao Zedong wanted to do this was that the "failure concept" dominated him, and the other was that the "machina" thinking of "I would rather blame others than others blame me" was at work.Just because of the dominance of this "unhealthy" psychological factor, the principles and moral concepts of communism have all been thrown out of the sky.well!Only Mao Zedong can play this set of "tricks". Now it seems that after the two armies joined forces, Mao Zedong played all "power tricks", while Luo Fu, Bo Gu and other stubborn and childish dogmatists were just for Mao Zedong to "use". That's all.Mao Zedong and others withdrew the line of defense privately and moved north secretly, which was obviously a "selfish" behavior regardless of the overall situation. The more Zhang Guotao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he really wanted to yell at Mao Zedong to the north to calm down the anger in his heart.At this moment, Zhu De walked into the office. Zhang Guotao said loudly to Zhu De: "Mao Zedong made a split and led the First Army to leave without permission. Look, this is a telegram just sent by Chen Changhao." Zhu De was very surprised after reading the telegram, and he was not mentally prepared at all.Kind and gentle eyes quickly moved from Zhang Guotao's angry face to the window, staring closely at a tall catalpa tree outside the window, silent, with a painful expression on his dark face, and his body remained motionless. Seeing that Zhu De was silent, Zhang Guotao wondered what he was thinking?He hoped that there would be a series of voices condemning Mao Zedong's injustice from Zhu De's mouth.The harder he scolded, the happier he was; the harder he scolded, the more he relieved his hatred.But Zhu De remained silent, because he didn't understand why the situation had developed to such a serious level?The Party Central Committee actually came to "leave without saying goodbye". What is the reason for this?It's a bit strange.His weather-beaten face was covered with an unusually severe and deep emotion, and the criss-cross wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be filled with profound thoughts. Zhu De tied a knot here for the history of the Chinese revolution, and fell into deep thinking. Zhu De fell into extreme pain for the cracks that appeared in the current Red Army. Zhu De was cut in half by the ruthless historical sword for the Red Army, a giant who had suffered extreme trauma, and fell into indescribable grief and indignation. The forthright, upright, and loyal Zhu De can't understand the current embarrassing situation. Zhang Guotao vented on his own for a while and then said to Zhu De: "Mao Zedong wiped out the authority of the general headquarters, disregarded the unity of the party, and led troops to sneak north without permission. Since he will split, we have no choice but to act alone and stop listening to the central government." Zhu De stared into Zhang Guotao's eyes burning with anger, and said solemnly: "On the one hand, after the army entered the Gansu area, Chiang Kai-shek will not let them go. They will still encounter many dangers, their situation will not be good, and the struggle will still be difficult. I hope ordinary comrades will not criticize too much, and the unity of the party should be taken as the first priority. It is better to reduce the major incident to the minor, so as to make up for this rift.” Zhang Guotao saw that Zhu De had such a peaceful attitude, so he couldn't say anything more. Coupled with Zhu De's prestige in the Red Army, Zhang Guotao couldn't do anything to Zhu De.He just felt that Zhu De did not condemn Mao Zedong's "separatist" behavior, and he was a little annoyed. He said secretly: You old guy is a peacemaker, and you have no "principle" at all.
