When Liu Yizhang left the field hospital, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, Yizhang led the horse, and Mu Yan walked towards the mountain pass with Yizhang's arm, "Mu Yan, there is an official road ahead, you can send it here, send me a telegram when you leave for Nanjing, and I will send you again." Mu Yan didn't say a word along the way, because there were too many things to say to Yizhang, and she was about to separate, she held Yizhang's hand tightly, looked at Yizhang's handsome face, and instructed softly, "Yizhang, if I go too quickly, I won't inform you, I will write to you after I arrive in Nanjing, because our correspondence in wartime is to be reviewed, so you have to remember well, you can't write too explicit when you communicate with each other, you must check it." I know that you are not afraid of death in battle, and you are a combat hero, but I hope that God can bless my righteous chapter, bless you to see me alive, and you must live to see me! Mu Yan's tears couldn't stop flowing, life and death were broad, and he was happy with his son. Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son! Yizhang was not sad, he took Mu Yan into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Mu Yan, of course I want to live well, and I want you to give me a class of children." Mu Yan burst into tears and laughed, she smacked Yizhang with her fist, and took out a lock of hair from her pocket and tied it with red thread, "This is what I cut from my head in the morning, take it out and smell it when I think of me." Yizhang took his hair and sniffed it, "Well, the smell of smoke." Yizhang wrapped his hair with a handkerchief, rode on his war horse, solemnly saluted Mu Yan, and rode his horse and whip towards Muluyuan!

After more than an hour of galloping, there is Seed Mountain in front of you, and after passing Seed, you will walk less than five kilometers west to Muluyuan. Seed Mountain is the most important highland of the Mulu Yuan Defense Area, is the south gate of the Mulu Plain, the mountain is not very high, the altitude is only more than 600 meters, there is a thousand-year-old temple Wenxiang Temple in the middle of the mountainside, although the field hospital of the Corps is only more than 60 kilometers, but the temperature difference is very obvious, the field hospital is deep in the ravine between the lofty mountains and mountains, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, the ravine is in the middle of March, it is still more than ten degrees below zero, and the seed mountain is full of spring at this time, the water vapor is dense, the scenery is charming, the Mulu Yuan is the barrier of the western front of the Volunteer Army, And Seed Mountain is the south gate of Muluyuan, the strategic location is very important, the 535th Regiment of the 77th Army was ordered to garrison here, Yizhang saw from a distance from the official road of Seed Mountain running down a Biao people, led by the head of the 535th Regiment Li Wenzhong, Liu Yan followed closely, Yizhang arched his hand to them on the war horse, and said loudly, "Commander Li, don't come to harm." ”

Li Wenzhong smiled all over his face, and said straight to the point, "Yizhang, the sentry found your figure just now, Secretary Liu and I didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went down the mountain to greet you, I heard that you are going to be promoted to battalion commander, I have already reported to the military department, and tried my best to invite you, the gallant 'Zhao Zilong', to my 535th regiment, don't dislike the small temple of Wenxiang Temple!" ”

Liu Yan also joked on the side, "Yizhang, if you go to the seed, I will take refuge in Buddhism and give you a green lantern and recite Buddhist scriptures." ”

Yizhang humbly said to Li Wenzhong, "Commander Li, if Yizhang really has a chance to listen to orders under your account, but my creation, who doesn't know that you are the 'Confucian general' of our 77th Army, not only can you fight well, but you can also export chapters and write well, even if a pen like Liu Yan is only a small thing in front of you, right, Secretary Liu?" ”

Liu Yan hurriedly picked up, "Those who know me, Yizhangye, Captain Li, please give me more advice in the future." Li Wenzhong was very happy by this pair of willows singing and harmonizing, "Yizhang, let's stop gossiping, hurry up the mountain, I can prepare a delicious meal for you." Yizhang didn't respond to Li Wenzhong, he turned to Liu Yan, "Secretary Liu, you are also waiting for me when you go to Seed Mountain?" "Yizhang, according to the order of Commander Wu, I came to Seed Mountain early in the morning, and I specially picked you up here."

"Pick me up? Did the commander order us to return to the military headquarters immediately after the meeting? ”

Li Wenzhong preemptively said, "Yizhang, let me tell you, Commander Wu called me an hour ago, let me and Liu Yan answer you on the seed, there is a special task entrusted to you to perform, let's go to the regiment headquarters to talk in detail." A group of people soon came to Wenxiang Temple, Yizhang they got off the horse, the left side of the mountain gate set up a huge stone tablet, engraved Wenxiang Temple three words, into the mountain gate, the left head is the bell tower, the right head is the drum tower, the article they passed through the mountain gate hall, the Tianwang Palace, the Manjushri Bodhisattva Palace, came to the Dharma Hall, the regimental headquarters of the 535th regiment is located in the Dharma Hall, behind the Dharma Hall is a row of three-story Tibetan scripture pavilions, now they are full of soldiers, behind the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is a small pond, called the fairy pool.

Liu Yizhang browsed the surrounding environment roughly, Wenxiang Temple is full of vitality, like a landscape painting of spring back to the earth, this is the most beautiful scenery that Yizhang saw after coming to North Korea, he was in a good mood, he praised the spring garden and couldn't close it, and at the same time sighed that such an intact temple didn't even meet a monk, so he asked curiously, "Head Li, what about the monk of Wenxiang Temple?" Li Wenzhong showed a proud look, he smiled and said to Yizhang, "The Mulu Plain Defense Area spans the 38th parallel, and the Seed Mountain Heights originally belonged to the jurisdiction of South Korea, and when the third campaign was launched last year, this kind of Zishan Heights was defended by the French and Canadian troops, and a regiment of the French army was stationed at Munhyangsa Temple, and all the monks of Munhyangsa Temple were transferred to Bong'eun Temple in Seoul at that time. I led the 535th Regiment to take Seed Mountain without firing a single shot, and since then Seed Mountain has become the defense area of my 535th Regiment. While speaking, the logistics soldier brought a large pot of stewed hare meat, and Li Wenzhong pointed to the rabbit meat and said to Yizhang, "Don't look at the seed mountain is not very big, but there are a lot of hares and pheasants!" Saying that, Li Wenzhong took out a bottle of North Korean soju from under the bed, and warmly beckoned Yizhang and Liu Yan to take a seat, "It's rare to get together with the two little brothers today, let's have a good drink, on the one hand, to enhance the feelings of comrades-in-arms, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a celebration for Yizhang's brother's ascension." ”

Yizhang corrected solemnly, "Commander Li, in order to enhance the relationship, it is understandable for our brothers to drink some wine between each other, but the groundless matter of being promoted to battalion commander cannot be talked about nonsense, and it will not have a good impact if it is spread like this." ”

Li Wenzhong hurriedly waved his hand, "Yizhang, I don't dare to talk nonsense, who doesn't know that Wang Peng is the 'little leopard' of our 77th Army, and he is also a star commander in the corps, so he will not be beaten by you like this?" ”

Yizhang wondered in his heart that what happened yesterday morning, Li Wenzhong knew so quickly. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "This is really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!" ”

"What's the bad thing? I think it's a great thing, and it's a blessing and a curse! Yizhang, you know what? Before lunch yesterday, Shi Daxiang, political commissar of the Corps Field Hospital, telephoned Zhou Zhengkang, director of the Political Department of the 77 th Army, and she informed me on the phone of the ins and outs of the fight between you and Wang Peng. Liu Yan recounted the origin of the incident in detail.

"Yizhang, just with the military talent you showed in the Battle of Toxinli, to be honest, I, Li Wenzhong, sighed to myself, it is more than enough for you to be a regiment commander, but now it is different from before, your promotion to battalion commander has been considered an exceptional promotion, Wang Peng is now the youngest regiment commander of the 77th Army, he was twenty-five years old when he first became the regiment commander, you are only nineteen years old now, you become the battalion commander, you are already the best in the army, in addition, I have asked Commander Wu again and again for you, I really think that you are too condescending to stay in the military department, Your stage should be the battlefield, fortunately, Xu Laohu went to the rear to recuperate, if he is in Muluyuan, I can't rob him, after the battle of Xinli, all the regiments of our army are not sound, the front-line commanders are particularly lacking, it is imperative to replenish fresh blood, I will strike first, and snatch you from the military guard company to the 535th regiment, of course, the strategic location of Seed Mountain is extremely important, and you also need a fierce future to defend. Li Wenzhong talked for a long time, praising Yizhang and praising himself by the way.

"Just for this little thing, it is also worth it for Grand Master Li and Secretary Liu to mobilize the people to pick me up on the Seed Mountain?"

"Of course not, there's something else, let's drink first." Li Wenzhong picked up the wine glass and was about to drink, but was stopped by Yizhang.

"Head Li, wait a minute, your kindness and righteousness have been understood, you should first explain clearly what I or we are going to do next, so as not to make a mistake after drinking."

"Liu Yan, you see, or Yizhang is cautious, here's the thing, in order to solve the shortage of front-line auxiliary combat personnel, after the Spring Festival, the East China Military Region specially recruited a group of female soldiers in the country, I heard that most of them are health soldiers, as well as some communication soldiers and literary soldiers, these days have come to the Corps, Wu Yutong, the niece of Commander Wu, is among them, she is a literary soldier, the meaning of the Corps first arranged for her to experience life in the 77th Army, it seems that she is not alone, there is also a literary soldier and three communication soldiers, Originally, the Corps was responsible for sending them over, but South Korea recently sent several death squads composed of outlaws to Muluyuan, pretending to be the North Korean People's Army, to spy on the North Korean People's Army and our volunteers. Because the task is sudden, when the military department received the notice, Liu Yan had already arrived at Seed Mountain, and Commander Wu decided to hand over this task to you, and you must rush to the corps before five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was a squad of your guard company that followed you to the corps, and Commander Wu also asked me to tell you that you will report to the corps headquarters immediately after you arrive at the corps, and Deputy Commander Dong Zheng will personally meet you. ”

"Commander Li, fortunately I didn't drink this wine, Seed Mountain is more than 100 kilometers away from the Corps, and it will take me more than two hours to get there, and now it's twelve o'clock, I must set off before one o'clock, I'd rather go to the Corps early to wait for them, than let them wait for us in the Corps!" Your hospitality, Liu Yan and I have received it, besides, I will come to the 535th Regiment right away, come to Japan, you collect the wine, and we will find a chance to drink it in the future. By the way, Captain Li, will Liu Yan come with me? ”

"I really don't know about this, and Commander Wu didn't say it on the phone, otherwise you can call Commander Wu after eating and ask?"

"Yizhang, you better fight now, tell the commander that you must take me there, march and fight at night, and our brothers will have a good response." Liu Yan longs to be born and die with Yizhang.
