In the spring of 1934, Liu Zhidan led the 42nd Division of the Red Twenty-six Army to fight local tyrants and divide the fields in Wuqi, Zhidan, Jingbian, Dingbian, and Huachi, and the revolutionary forces continued to grow. In November of the same year, the Chi'an County Soviet Government was established in the border area between Shaanxi and Gansu (Zhujiagou, Wubao River). In September 1935, when the third anti-encirclement and suppression war was going on in the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Soviet Area, the Northwest Revolutionary Base was under the influence of Wang Ming's left-leaning line to suppress counter-revolutionaries. Left-leaning line executors represented by Zhu Lizhi, Nie Hongjun, Guo Hongtao, and Dai Jiying believed that the Red Twenty-six Army and the leading cadres of the party, government, and army in the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Soviet Area were "rightists", "Trotskyites", and "Anti-Bolshevik League". Left leaning line performer extorted confessions by various illegal means, shot and buried more than 200 people alive in places such as Xiasiwan, Ganquan (where the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Special Committee resides) and Wayaobao, Zichang County (where the Shanxi-Shaanxi-Gansu Provincial Committee resides) on trumped-up charges Red Army cadres and local party and government cadres in the Shaanxi-Gansu border; Liu Zhidan, Xi Zhongxun, Gao Gang and other leading cadres above the Red Twenty-six Army Battalion and above the local county level were imprisoned more than 100 people. In the Shaanxi-Gansu border base area, a serious situation of self-insecurity and mutual suspicion has formed. Within the ranks, all cadres who came from landlord and rich peasant families were all targeted for the eradication of counterrevolutionaries. Some local militia groups in Wuqi County, Baoan County, and Jingbian County seized the opportunity to overthrow the regime in the Soviet Area[1].

After the establishment of the Northern Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, in order to strengthen the leadership of East Jingbian County, Dingbian County and West Jingbian County, it was decided to establish the Tripartite Special Committee of the Communist Party of China (also known as the West Special Committee). On October 19, 1935, after the Central Red Army arrived in the Northern Shaanxi Soviet Area, Xie Weijun, a cadre of the Jiangxi Red Army who stayed on the three sides to suppress bandits, served as the secretary of the Trilateral Special Committee and the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas. Gou (located in Shuilupan Township, Jingbian County) started the preparation work for the establishment of the agencies under the Special Committee.
