Chapter 167: Steep Turn
Lei Yiming is in Tianjin, and his life is quite peaceful.
The offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been temporarily slowed down, and it is impossible to predict what variables will be in the future, so he simply doesn't think about it. Yu Tianzuo came to Tianjin from Chengde, and he no longer spent all day and night playing with this old friend, because he always felt that his home was better.
He was satisfied, and everyone around him immediately felt it, and even Bai Xuefeng was relieved and boldly relaxed a little. And Ye Chun expected that he would not make any more waves for the time being, so he put on the newly added good clothes, and his hair was cut and permed, leaving a handful of curly bangs to block the scar on his right eyebrow.
She is dressed like a flower, and she goes out all day long like a modern lady. Lei Yiming knew that she was a "common reason", and this trip to Tianjin, he was going to accept a few reprimands from her and teach her a few sets of truths, but she suddenly changed her tactics and turned into a flower butterfly and flew out. Childbirth was a hurtful thing, but after she gave birth to Niu'er, she became beautiful, so much so that Yu Tianzuo took a look at her when she visited her a few days ago, and sighed after she went back, feeling that the wives in the family were too ugly, and she was really a husband for nothing. If Ye Chunhao's man is not Lei Yiming, then he will snatch Ye Chunhao home.
Lei Yiming had no reason to interfere with Ye Chunhao going out, so he went with her, since he had Niu'er, he felt that he was a lot broad-minded, and he even thought that if he put his current self two years ago, Zhang Jiatian would probably be able to live a few more days.
Now that he thinks of Zhang Jiatian, he feels very far away, so far away that he is not afraid at all
him.
Zhang Jiatian only began to slowly approach him after the Lunar New Year.
The Spring Festival was spent in Tianjin, and those days were warm and happy. Niu'er has been 100 days and has become more beautiful, because the nurse takes good care of her, so she usually doesn't cry or make trouble, and laughs when she sees people. In the spring of the year, Lei Yiming went back to Beijing alone, Lin Zifeng saw him, talked to him for a while, and felt that he had become reasonable, but also a bit of a mother-in-law, as if the child was born to him himself. After talking to him, Lin Zifeng asked Bai Xuefeng in private: "Why does he seem to have changed?"
Bai Xuefeng said with a smile: "It's changed, from the time I went to Tianjin to the present, I have always been kind and angry, and my temper is much better." ”
"Ye Chunhao has changed his mind?"
"No, my wife seems to be hard-hearted this time, and she has never given him a good face. This is mainly the credit of the eldest lady, you see, who would have thought that he was a child who loved him? He smiled when he saw the eldest lady, and the eldest lady urinated on him, and he was not annoyed, so I thought-" Bai Xuefeng shrugged his shoulders: "It would be nice if the eldest lady had come three or five years earlier, and I would have been able to take a few scoldings less." ”
Lin Zifeng looked at him with a smile: "He is already good to you." ”
Bai Xuefeng immediately nodded: "That's, pretty good." ”
Lin Zifeng asked again: "When will he return to Tianjin?"
"Not necessarily. Bai Xuefeng pondered and replied, "Do you have any news on the battlefield in the south, saying that the Northern Expeditionary Army is coming over again?"
Lin Zifeng let out an "um".
Bai Xuefeng listened to it and felt a little incredible: "That...... Can you really change the dynasty?"
Lin Zifeng replied:
"I don't know. ”
Bai Xuefeng said again: "We are handsome...... There should be a way, right?"
"I don't know. ”
Lei Yiming's status is directly related to Bai Xuefeng's job, so after listening to Lin Zifeng's left and right "I don't know", Bai Xuefeng suddenly felt that this person was so cold and annoying, it was simply inhuman. Looking at Lin Zifeng with a smile, he planned to turn around and do something in front of Lei Yiming - yes, he is just an adjutant general, and he has no ability, so he will do some girl work with tea and water, and it will not be in the eyes of your secretary general, but I can't clean you up, I can clean you up.
Bai Xuefeng made up his mind, but he couldn't put it into action, because the situation on the battlefield changed drastically, Lei Yiming couldn't even care about Tianjin, and directly led his troops to the battlefield again.
Bai Xuefeng hurriedly followed Lei Yiming and set off, at first he thought that this battle was probably the same as the battle a year ago, his side attacked for a while, and the enemy was repulsed. However, not long after they hit the road, urgent reports from all over the country flew in from all directions, like snowflakes, and the thunder was almost impossible to read. The Northern Expeditionary Army was divided into three routes, along the three railway lines of Zhili outward, Lei Yiming transferred troops to resist, and at the same time received an urgent telegram from Lu Du in Shandong. After seeing the emergency telegram, the little warm qi he had cultivated in the past few months dissipated without a trace, and he slapped the telegram on the table and scolded: "Lu Wenrui, this waste! How can I still have the strength to support him? Let him die in Shandong!"
He did what he said, and sure enough, he didn't take care of Lu Duli who asked for help. So after holding out for a week, Governor Lu withdrew from Shandong with tens of thousands of horses and fled all the way north into Zhilidi
World. Lei Yiming became more and more annoyed when he heard that Lu Duli refused to die in Shandong obediently, but he couldn't force Lu Duli back to Shandong to be killed, because this war was different from the past, and the Kuomintang united several major military groups under its command, and on the road of the Northern Expedition, it was almost invincible and invincible. He couldn't resist the offensive and retreated, causing the old marshal in Beijing to be furious, and he had already released a message to investigate his responsibility.
Lao Shuai is now equal to the emperor of North China, Lei Yiming can't be afraid, so in this red and willow green May season, he is anxious to run around on the battlefield, and the dozen catties of meat that he gained before have all been consumed in just one month.
The old handsome is terrible, the Kuomintang is terrible, and the most terrible thing is Zhang Jiatian - Zhang Jiatian is really getting closer and closer to him.
Lately, there has been only one town between them. Lei Yiming imagined all kinds of defeat scenarios, the best result was to flee into the Tianjin concession and become a rich man behind closed doors, and the worst result was to become Zhang Jiatian's prisoner on the battlefield. Zhang Jiatian may not even give him a chance to go to court to be tried, so he will cut him with a thousand knives on the spot.
He was afraid of death, he always remembered that year he fell into the ice river, and when he was on the verge of death, the person who came to greet him was Lei Yifei.
If he was tied up by Zhang Jiatian this time, he believed that Lei Yifei would take advantage of the situation and come to seek revenge on his soul. Lei Yifei may still be followed by Yan Qingzhang, and many, many people who were carelessly killed by him. If he dies, he will fall into the hands of those men, and they will not spare him
He knows.
Therefore he must live, live forever. As long as he is alive, those dead ghosts can't help him.
Besides, he still has a girl at home, Niu'er can't live without a father, and he has to watch Niu'er grow up, otherwise he won't be able to close his eyes when he dies.
Lei Yiming resisted Zhang Jiatian's attack, and at the same time issued an emergency military order, asking Chen Yunji to quickly bring troops over to support. The rest of his team was trapped in various battlefields, and there were already division-level officers who surrendered on their own initiative, and only Chen Yunji's first division was strong and could still support it.
Chen Yunji was loyal to him, and after receiving the military order, he immediately led his troops to him. Before Chen Yunji arrived, he sent a telegram to Lao Shuai asking for help. As a result, on this day, Chen Yunji did not arrive, and the reinforcements did not arrive, but Lin Zifeng came.
Lin Zifeng took an entourage, and under the protection of a small group of soldiers, came to Lei Yiming's headquarters. After entering the door, he saw Lei Yiming, he was stunned, Lei Yiming looked up at him, and was also stunned: "Why are you here?"
Lin Zifeng rarely wore a military uniform, and he was very well dressed, and his armed belt was tied very neatly, as if he was going to attend some grand event as an officer. Raising his hand and taking off his military hat, he saw that Lei Yiming was smoky and his beard was skewed, and he lost a lot of weight, so he replied: "I am in Beijing, and I heard that Dashuai is in a predicament, and I have some worries in my heart. ”
Lei Yiming looked at him: "You're here for this?"
Lin Zifeng nodded: "Yes." ”
Lei Yiming sighed: "You don't use it." ”
Lin Zifeng looked down at himself, then raised his head and replied, "This military uniform is still the one you asked me to give to me when I first came to you."
Made-to-order. It's been nine years, and this is the first time I've worn it to battle. ”
Lei Yiming looked him up and down, and then smiled: "If you don't like to wear it, you won't wear it, I don't care about you." ”
Lin Zifeng shook his head: "No, I followed Dashuai, and at this time, I should wear it." ”
Without waiting for Lei Yiming to answer, he asked again: "Is the marshal planning to defend here to the end?"
Lei Yiming smiled bitterly: "I want to go home, but is there a way for me to go? I can only win this battle, not lose." If I win, I still have a way to live, and if I lose, the old man has to use military law against me. ”
Lin Zifeng said again: "The enemy on the other side is Zhang Jiatian?"
When Lei Yiming heard this, he sighed again: "Fuck, what are you afraid of!"
At this time, a person rushed in from outside the door, it was Bai Xuefeng. Bai Xuefeng gasped and stammered: "Great Shuai, Master Chen and Senior Chen were ambushed halfway, and now their lives and deaths are unknown!"
Lei Yiming glared: "Chen Yunji?"
Bai Xuefeng couldn't make a sound, and nodded vigorously to him while holding on to the table. And he sat on the chair, looking at Bai Xuefeng, and didn't speak for a long time.
There was a faint rumbling sound of cannon in the distance, like a dry thunder rolling on the ground, and he suddenly shuddered, and stood up again. Walking quickly to the big map on the wall, he raised his hand to find the route all the way, and Lin Zifeng could see clearly: his hand was trembling.
Fingernails stumbled across the surface of the map, and finally stopped at a point on the border of Zhili, and slashed at it. Fingernail marks were on a small town, which was a small abstract dot with a name next to it, called Antey.
Then he turned around and raised his hand to point at Bai Xuefeng, and he said, "You go." ”
Bai Xuefeng was taken aback: "Huh?"
He continued: "I'll send you a team of people, you don't care about anything, I want to go back to Tianjin to protect my wife and Niu'er." Zifeng followed me, and I led the troops to retreat to Antai. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Rehe, and Yu Tianzuo won't save me from death. You wait for my news, ready to take them to join me. Got it?"
Bai Xuefeng immediately replied: "Understood!"
"Let Su Bingjun come over!"
Bai Xuefeng didn't care about etiquette, turned his head and ran out, and within a moment, Su Bingjun came, Lei Yiming said: "You pick thirty good ones from the guards and let Bai Xuefeng take them away!"
Su Bingjun agreed, hurriedly turned around and ran out. Lin Zifeng stayed in the room, and when he heard the sound of the cannon getting clearer and clearer, he asked, "Dashuai, where is this cannon firing?"
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang suddenly broke out nearby, shaking the sky and the earth, and the wall fell to the ground, and it was a cannonball that fell outside the headquarters. Lei Yiming was so frightened that he hugged his head and fell to the ground, and after lying down, he jumped up again, grabbed the pistol on the table and ran out, and grabbed Lin Zifeng's arm when he ran to the door: "Are you stunned and waiting for death?
Lin Zifeng followed him out of the door: "Where are you going?"
Lei Yiming ignored him. The headquarters was located in a village, and the villagers did not know where they had fled, and it was full of minefield soldiers. Lin Zifeng was dragged by the thunder in a daze, and ran forward on the village road. Seeing this, his entourage Liu hurriedly chased after him with a suitcase. as
After running away in a hurry, he stopped and asked Lei Yiming again: "Dashuai, are we going to retreat?"
Lei Yiming took the whip from an adjutant next to him, pulled the reins with one hand and flew on the horse: "Yes, we can't hold it here! Let's go to Antai!"
