"Secretary Liu, please come to my 44th Army to make a report, okay?" As soon as the meeting ended with a tea break, Cao Mingkui sent an invitation to Liu Yizhang.

The others also chimed in and surrounded Liu Yizhang.

"Commander Cao, and all the seniors, first of all, thank you for your love and kind invitation to Yizhang, but Yizhang, as the secretary of the head of the corps, can't help himself, and I won't and can't recklessly agree to you. But I believe that a spark can start a prairie fire, and if the Corps needs it, Yizhang is willing to be this tinder to burn and light the way forward at any time! ”

The head of the corps and Dong Zheng looked at Liu Yizhang, who was able to cope with it, looked at each other and smiled, and praised each other.

At the end of the meeting, Liu Yizhang read all the materials submitted by the participating units of the Corps, and conducted brief interviews with Cao Mingkui and several other major generals on the sidelines of the meeting.

At night, while drinking with Dong Zheng and digging deep into some tactical instructions of the front command of the Fifth Campaign Corps, Dong Zheng of course knew that Liu Yizhang was preparing for writing a military report, he was the deputy commander in charge of military affairs in the Corps, and he knew the whole process of the campaign well. The two of them drank from six o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, Dong Zheng was too drunk to drink, drunk, under the temptation of Liu Yizhang, he told Liu Yizhang everything that should be said and should not be said with the strength of wine, including life outside the war, emotions, personnel and other privacy are all vomited, not only because he was drunk, from the bottom of his heart Dong Zheng has long regarded Liu Yizhang as the most reliable confidant and relative, he needs to confide. Liu Yizhang is calm as water on the surface, but the heart is turbulent, that is, from this moment on, Liu Yizhang warned himself that drinking must be done in moderation, and he must not leak secrets because of greed, even in the face of the closest and most trusted person like Mu Yan, he must remain sober. Liu Yizhang also knows in his heart that the reason why Dong Zheng talked to himself tonight is that in addition to the good personal relationship in the past, it also has a lot to do with his impromptu speech during the day, Dong Zheng's heart loves his motherland as much as himself, and he has the same feelings as he does to die generously for the country, but life is not only feelings, but it is composed of the sunshine and darkness of human nature, good and evil, selflessness and greed, bravery and cowardice, diligence and laziness, everyone has two sides of human nature, but you show the world that side is just that, Just like his uncle Liu Chengzu said, if a person always hides his ugly side, then he will be a good person when he dies, and a person who does not deceive the dark room is not necessarily a true gentleman, just like you can never see through a person's heart.

Liu Yizhang began to write from one o'clock in the morning, borrowed wine to play, the pen is like a divine help, the talent is like a spring, to 12 o'clock at noon, more than 10,000 words of military report in one go, Dong Zheng woke up in the morning, saw Liu Yizhang was concentrating on crouching on the desk to create, he quietly exited the room and ordered the guards not to allow anyone to disturb Liu Yizhang. When Liu Yizhang handed over the transcribed military report to Dong Zheng, he said with great distress, "Yizhang, I will give you the task to complete in twenty days, and you can complete it in one night, it's no wonder that you don't age quickly!" Don't say anything, go back to your dorm and go to bed! ”

"Chief, I'm not tired, I'm excited now, let's sleep on the way home at night. You take a look at it first, if there is something inappropriate, I will correct it. ”

"Then you sit for a while, I'll immediately let the logistics get you something to eat, the wine can't be drunk anymore, I don't know how to get to bed last night, I'm really grateful to Yutong now, she found me a New Year's friend, drink and talk with you, it's really a great blessing in life to do whatever you want, with you as a confidant, this life is enough! Yizhang, I didn't look foreign last night, did I? ”

Liu Yizhang said with a smile, "Chief, you began to cooperate with me, talk to me about some tactical changes in the fifth battle, a few glasses of wine, and talk to me about the gains and losses of life from the bottom of your heart, and in the end you have to let me call you big brother, and you have to worship me as a brother, I saw that you really can't drink anymore, so I took you to bed to rest, we drank a lot, a total of four bottles of Jingzhi Baiqian plus a bottle of Moutai." I'll go back to China this time, get more Jingzhi Baiqian to bring to you, I see that you like the wine of your hometown very much. ”

Dong Zheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this, he was very relaxed with Liu Yizhang, he didn't talk much, but his sentences were warm, and he dared to admonish at a critical time, he would never forget that after the siege was lifted, the corps did not get the permission of the 'Zhisi' to retreat, Liu Yizhang suggested to himself that the 44th Army should be immediately withdrawn to Jiangbei for defense, and the facts proved that Liu Yizhang's suggestion was very correct, just the day after the withdrawal, the upper reaches of the Imjin River suddenly rained, and the river rose sharply, if the 44th Army remained in Jiangnan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Yizhang, the words are like their people, your words are through the back of the paper, the pen is like a dragon, just like you, resolute and resourceful. I've read it, and I don't need to change a word! Tomorrow I will forward it to the other leaders of the Corps to circulate it, and then report it to the 'Zhi Division'!" Yizhang, you have to be mentally prepared, you return to North Korea after visiting your relatives, I will try to officially transfer you to the corps, to be my confidential secretary, we have a gentleman's agreement, originally after the end of the Muluyuan blockade, I asked the 77th Army for you, Commander Wu refused to let go, I was on the front line at that time, thinking that you had just finished the blocking battle, and you were physically and mentally tired, so I gave up. Now that the Fifth Campaign has ended, and you have even finished writing the military report of the Corps, you have actually begun to perform your duties as a secretary. ”

"Chief, I told you a long time ago, I look forward to working by your side, being with you, whether it is being a person or doing things, I have benefited a lot. But I can't help myself now, especially Yutong, you know her best, she doesn't care if you are the chief or not, she only knows that you are her uncle, and she is resolutely opposed to me coming to work in the corps. ”

Dong Zheng shook his head helplessly, Liu Yizhang was right, Yutong is the only blood and blood left in the world by his sister Dong Ting, and he has no way to be willful about Yutong, he knows that the reason why Yutong opposes Yizhang to work by his side is that he is worried that Song Xiaofei will seduce Liu Yizhang, and the other reason is that she feels that Wu Xiangsen loves Liu Yizhang more than herself, in fact, from the heart, Dong Zheng feels that he cares for Liu Yizhang no less than Wu Xiangsen, and the key to the problem is that Liu Yizhang likes to lead troops to fight on the front line. Dong Zheng knows this and appreciates it very much! Unlike Wang Peng, since he escaped death in the hardships, he has been in a slump, and now he is messing around in the quartermaster department every day, and he also runs to the field hospital of the Corps every three or five times, he gave up Liu Muyan, who is known as the cold beauty of Sanye, but chose a mediocre hygienist as his fiancée, not to mention his future, and he was beaten by Liu Yizhang for this matter!

Dong Zheng likes Liu Yizhang too much, no matter how you look at it, Dong Zheng married Wang Peng's sister Wang Fang as his wife, except for several leaders of the Corps, few people know, from a personal point of view, Wang Peng is Dong Zheng's brother-in-law, Liu Yizhang is Dong Zheng's nephew and son-in-law, half a catty and eight taels, comparable, but in terms of character and ability, that is the difference between cloud and mud, Wang Peng is higher than the sky and has no ink, Liu Yizhang is bright and righteous and has made great achievements, and has saved Dong Zheng in danger, Dong Zheng's inner balance has long been inclined to Liu Yizhang.

"Yes, I have no way to take Yutong, she is not very close to me, if I force you to transfer you to my side against her will, she estimates that she can come from Nanjing to the corps with a big belly, she finally conceived your child, and there can be no accidents. By the way, Yizhang, Liu Yuejuan from the Shanghai Art Troupe will return to China with you tonight, do you know her? ”

"Chief, when Deputy Head Liu led the team to Ma Xiling for a condolence performance, we met once, did she return to China on business?"

"Yes, she went back to the East China Military Region Art Troupe to report to work."

"Chief, will I also be with Deputy Head Liu when I come back?"

"That's not necessary, she finished reporting and immediately took another car back to North Korea. Yutong knew Liu Yuejuan when she was in the Northeast, and she had studied dance with her for a long time, which is a master-apprentice relationship. ”

Liu Yizhang had yawned at this time, Dong Zheng pulled him up from the chair and ordered him to go back to the dormitory to sleep immediately.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Liu Yizhang slept soundly and was woken up by Dong Zheng, "Yizhang, it's time for you to go." ”

Liu Yizhang gobbled up his stomach, picked up his backpack, and said with a smile, "Chief, then I'll go, and we'll continue to drink a lot when we come back." ”

"Yizhang, don't be in a hurry to leave first, see that the military uniform on your body is old and torn, like a flower child, change mine on."

Dong Zheng said and handed Liu Yizhang a new set of military uniforms, and then checked all kinds of certification letters and letters of introduction in Liu Yizhang's backpack, and only after confirming that they were correct did he let Liu Yizhang leave. Dong Zheng's special car was parked at the door, Liu Yuejuan was already waiting next to the special car, she nodded politely to Liu Yizhang, and the two waved goodbye to Dong Zheng.

The jeep slowly drove away from the corps station, and Liu Yizhang said sincerely to the driver, Lao Shen, "Master Shen, thank you for your hard work, the night is long, the road is also long, and the way home depends on you!" Lao Shen knew the relationship between Liu Yizhang and Dong Zheng, and said with a smile on his face, "Although the two leaders can rest assured, I, Lao Shen, promise to send you two to Nanjing safely." ”

Liu Yizhang and Liu Yuejuan sat side by side in the back row, Liu Yizhang closed his eyes, and snored after a while, Lao Shen sighed, "It is said that the new Secretary Liu is a desperate San Lang, which is not bad at all, this is a few days without sleep?" Trapped like this! ”

Liu Yuejuan smiled and said, "Old Shen, then you can drive slower and let him sleep more comfortably." Liu Yuejuan knows that Lao Shen is a confidant who has followed Dong Zheng for many years, and he will truthfully report to Dong Zheng about his words and deeds with Liu Yizhang, and he must be cautious in his words and deeds along the way.
