Chapter 64: A Difficult Choice (Part I)

As soon as Guo Hu gave the order, more than 100 officers and soldiers around him quickly surrounded him with guns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then Zhao Wen probably didn't expect that Guo Hu, a guy who didn't seem to be very old, would dare to shoot at them, and said a little worriedly: "What do you want to do?" You know, it's tantamount to complicity in doing it against us! ”

The vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade are the same as Guo Hu, in their eyes, only Xu Guoren, the brigade commander, and other Laoshzi secret investigation groups are not easy to use at all.

Therefore, they were not afraid at all, relying on the large number of people, surrounded them, smashed the butts of their guns, and smashed the heads of Zhao Wen and several others on the ground, and fell to the ground one after another.

Then they dismounted their guns, and tied them up one by one with hemp rope.

Guo Hu sent people to contact the cavalry reconnaissance company and ordered them to report to Xu Guoren, while walking into the courtyard, he came to Chen Zhiyuan's side and asked in a low voice: "County Magistrate Chen, are you really a communist?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan glanced at Guo Hu meaningfully and did not answer.

Guo Hu smiled and said: "County Magistrate Chen, don't get me wrong, you are my eldest brother's benefactor, that is, my Guo Hu's benefactor, no matter who you are, we will protect you, I think my eldest brother should think the same way." ”

Chen Zhiyuan nodded meaningfully and said, "I believe in you, you are all good men." ”

Guo Xiaoliu was patrolling the area of Xiaoniuzhuang Station in the east of Pingyang, and after getting the news, he immediately said to several subordinates around him: "The situation is urgent, the matter is very important, you should rush to Dingzhou to report to me immediately, remember, the sooner the better, even if the horse is tired to death, you have to rush to me as soon as possible, and report the news to the brigade commander!" ”

"Yes!" Several cavalry scouts responded with a bang, and quickly rode their horses and led the order to leave.

Dingzhou is two or three hundred miles away from Pingyang, and Rao is cavalry scouts did not hesitate to rush to Dingzhou in the middle of the night.

Xu Guoren was woken up from his sleep by Niu Dagen, and said sleepily: "Dagen, what happened, call me so late?" ”

Niu Dagen said: "Brigade commander, something is wrong. Heck, let him tell you. Niu Dagen flashed and pulled out a cavalry scout from behind him who was already tired and a little prostration.

I only heard him say weakly: "Brigade commander, I got a report from the Second Regiment that the provincial city secret investigation team and the gendarmerie want to arrest County Magistrate Chen, because Chen, County Magistrate Chen is a Communist Party ......."

When Xu Guoren heard this, he immediately felt sleepy, and immediately grabbed the soldier's collar and asked, "Where is County Magistrate Chen now?" What is the situation over there in Binh Duong? ”

The cavalry scout said strongly: "I was rescued by the second regiment, and the head of Guo Hu Guo asked you urgently, what should I do?" ”

Xu Guoren frowned immediately after hearing this, Chen Zhiyuan is a matter of the Communist Party, he had already guessed it, but he didn't expect that now this identity would be exposed.

Now Xu Guoren can't care about how this matter was exposed, but thinks about how to minimize the risk of this matter.

At this time, Guo Shiyin was also awakened and pushed the door out of the next room.

Xu Guoren immediately shouted at her: "Shiyin, immediately send a telegram to Wang Shuchang and Yu Xuezhong, the two chiefs in my name, saying that Chen Zhiyuan will never be a communist, someone must have framed him, and asked them to help suppress this matter." ”

"What? Is County Magistrate Chen a Communist Party? Guo Shiyin was also taken aback.

"Don't worry about it for now, do as I say!" Xu Guoren roared.

"Oh." Guo Shiyin had never seen Xu Guoren so fierce to herself, so she responded with some grievances, turned around and walked into the room to send a telegram.

Subsequently, Xu Guoren said to Niu Dagen: "Gather troops for me immediately, let's go to Pingyang!" ”

"Brigade commander, what do you mean, the whole brigade is withdrawn?" Niu Dagen asked.

"Yes, we don't have so many radio communication troops, the communication is inconvenient, too scattered, and it is easy to be divided and disintegrated, so it is the best choice to concentrate the troops just in case." Xu Guoren nodded.

Half an hour later, a regiment, an artillery battalion, and a guard company in Dingzhou were all assembled, and at the same time, Xu Guoren also sent someone to inform Guo Danian, who was stationed in Lingshou, and ordered him to lead the three regiments to abandon Lingshou and march to Pingyang.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Xu Guoren didn't think much about it, and only thought about concentrating all the troops in case they were divided and disintegrated by the enemy, because Xu Guoren had a hunch that Chen Zhiyuan's identity would be exposed, and it was likely that he would not be able to stay alone.

Therefore, it is better to keep the troops in your hands and respond to all changes with no change.

Of course, it would be better if Wang Shuchang and Yu Xuezhong could help suppress this matter.

It's just that until Xu Guoren led the troops to meet Guo Danian's three regiments, the sky was almost bright, and he did not receive a call back from Wang Shuchang and Yu Xuezhong.

It turned out that it was late at night, and the communication soldiers of the two of them were afraid of disturbing their rest, so they suppressed the telegram and did not report it for the time being.

And after dawn, Yu Xuezhong and Wang Shuchang saw the telegram sent by Xu Guoren, and they both realized the seriousness of the situation, because the Communist Party is the reverse scale of Chairman Jiang, and whoever has anything to do with them will definitely not end well.

The two of them did not consider Xu Guoren's request, but the interests and safety of themselves and their immediate bosses, Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Shaoshuai.

Therefore, both of them reported to Zhang Xueliang as soon as possible, and at this time, Zhang Xueliang and Chairman Jiang had just become brothers, and the relationship between the two was in the honeymoon period.

He is naturally on Chairman Jiang's side, and from the perspective of his own interests, he will not protect Chen Zhiyuan for Xu Guoren.

"Who do you think did this? What is the purpose? Zhang Xueliang didn't let his subordinates dig up Chen Zhiyuan's identity, so he seriously suspected that someone was obstructing him and wanted to target Xu Guoren, even Yu Xuezhong, Wang Shuchang, and even himself.

Yu Xuezhong, who was in Beiping, groaned: "In the eyes of the humble position, there is a chance that this matter was done by Wu Zhen, this person is not only the vice chairman of the province, but also a member of the central secret investigation team, and the Wu Xing who was killed by Xu Guoren before is his younger brother. ”

"In this way, it makes sense, he wants to use this matter to Xu Guoren's death to avenge his brother." Zhang Xueliang fell into a deep groan.

"yes." Yu Xuezhong nodded and said: "If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that many people will be implicated, young marshal, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Xueliang pondered for a long time before he made up his mind: "Xu Guoren is a talent, send a telegram to him, ordering him not to participate in Chen Zhiyuan's matter, so that I can still protect him." Obviously, Zhang Xueliang didn't want his painstaking cultivation to go to waste.

Yu Xuezhong bowed his head and responded: "Yes, I'll go and send him a power generation right away." ”

Provincial capital, in the compound of Baoding Station of the secret investigation group.

Wu Zhen rushed here early in the morning, because Ma Yunfeng had captured a Communist intelligence agent a few days earlier, and forced a very useful information from him that Chen Zhiyuan turned out to be a Communist Party.

In this way, they saved the need to plant blame, because Chen Zhiyuan was recommended by Xu Guoren to become the county magistrate of Pingyang County. Wu Zhen was so happy that he didn't sleep all night, so he hurried to inquire about the news early in the morning.

Ma Yunfeng came out of the house to greet him when he heard the news: "Vice Chairman Wu, why did you come so early?" ”

Wu Zhen said with an urgent face: "Stationmaster Ma, how is it, have the people sent out come back?" ”

"Not yet." Ma Yunfeng said with a smile: "However, Brother Wu, you can rest assured, this time Xu Guoren, this kid can't be washed even if he jumps into the Yellow River, first arrest Chen Zhiyuan, and then arrest him!" ”

"I'm afraid that this kid is not willing to be caught!" Wu Zhen said with some concern.

"This time the stakes are very high, as long as our evidence is conclusive, if he dares to resist arrest, it will be a rebellion, and no one will be able to protect him at that time, Zhang Xueliang will have to send troops to encircle and suppress him if he wants to clear his suspicion." Ma Yunfeng said with a sinister face.
