This can only be done to the best of the best. Not to mention that Yan Xishan has crooked theories, and he has always insisted on opposing communism in the past" is the current situation, and it is also under the banner of united resistance against Japan, and there are many contradictions, and if our party and our army want to develop greatly in the War of Resistance Against Japan, it will inevitably arouse Chiang Kai-shek's vigilance. Not to mention Yan Xishan, he turned out to be the soil emperor of Shanxi, and regarded every grass and tree in Shanxi as his own. Now that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army are gathering in Shanxi, building a base while fighting devils, it is strange that there is no conflict with Yan Xishan! How can this conflict of fundamental interests be resolved by talking?

Lu Hang, who was prepared, became Yan Xishan's best listener.

Yan Xishan finally finished speaking, and Lu Hang's stomach also growled, and Yan Xishan smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, brother" patronized and spoke, and the dishes at the banquet were probably cold. Let's go, the old man will have two drinks with you! ”

Lu Hang was already hungry, and he wished that Yan Xishan would say this! Hearing this, he got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said with a smile: "I thought that Commander Yan was going to tell me for the night, but I didn't expect to let me eat so soon." Thank you! ”

Yan Xishan smiled.

The banquet was arranged in another hole in the courtyard. When Yan Xishan and Lu Hang came in, Zhao Daiwen, chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government and director of the Political Department of the Second War Zone, led Yang Aiyuan, Cho Chu, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, and Liang Huazhi to wait. At this time, although Yan Xishan had established a new organization, the "National Revolutionary Comrades Association", he had not yet engaged in any oven training, so Lu Hang also lost an opportunity to watch the generals and thirteen senior cadres of the Jin Sui Army shouting Long live the president.

Yan Xishan diligently introduced Lu Hang one by one, and then invited Lu Hang to sit at the table.

The wine table is a large square table that can seat a total of eight people. Lu Hang saw that Yan Xishan asked him to be the seat, and hurriedly excused himself: "With Commander Yan and Lord Zhao here, where can it be my turn to sit on the table." I'm glad to see you all tonight. I sat next to Commander Yan's left hand and poured wine for Commander Yan and Lord Zhao*. ”

Zhao Daiwen Cilong, it is said that he admired the famous governor of the Qing Dynasty, Lu Longqi. In Zhixi, Zhao Daiwen is a figure with the same name as Yan Xishan, and the two are fellow villagers" and classmates when they studied in Japan. Zhao Daiwen is not only a staunch ally of Yan Xishan's politics, but the two also have a good personal relationship. However, "Zhao Daiwen is different from Yan Xishan, he respected Confucius and Mencius all his life, and also studied the Book of Changes and Buddhism" is a well-educated person with a square personality. Now he has 7. is many years old, with the dignity of the chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government, but he wears a fat and faded coarse gray homespun soldier's uniform.

Listening to the words of the famous Lu Hang, it was so humble" Zhao Daiwen couldn't help but glance at Lu Hang deeply and glanced at Yang Aiyuan, Bie Chu, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, Liang Huazhi and others, sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "Commander, it's rare to meet a young talent like Commander Liu, how old are you and I, just follow Commander Liu!" ”

Then all the people sat down in turn.

The wine is an old wine basket, and it exudes a strong aroma when it is opened.

Yan Xishan picked up the wine bowl and stood up and said loudly: "Last time in Taiyuan, my old man had a drink with General Muhu, and what he said at that time was that I wished General Muhu to kill more Japanese criminals and win glory for our nation!" After the farewell of Taiyuan, General Mu Hu led the special operations division of the Eighth Route Army to attack and occupy Tianjin, capture Qingdao, "capture Lianyungang, recover Jinan", and eliminate the Japanese 8th Division, 10th Division, 21st Division, 33rd Division, 34th Division, and 1st Division. The Eighth Division and a series of independent mixed brigades and garrisons, the number of little devils who died under his knife were too many to count. Today, on the way back to Shaanxi, General Lu Hang also touched the town of Huo County and killed the first one with one shot. Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, commander of the Ninth Division, repelled the pursuit of more than 600 little devils with a force of less than 30 people. My old man was full of blood after hearing it, and he was really a hero out of a teenager! Come, let's make a bowl together and be shocked by General Liu. Dry ......"

After speaking, Yan Xishan touched Lu Hang with a wine bowl, raised his neck, and drank it all.

Except for Mr. Zhao Daiwen, everyone else touched the wine bowl and drank it.

After drinking, Lu Hang wiped his mouth and smiled, and said, "It's really good wine!" Drinking it makes people's blood gush, and I can't wait to beat the horse and rush into the Japanese army, and take the head of the Japanese chief to strengthen the wine! Commander Yan, Chairman Zhao*, everyone, thank you for your love! Zhao Daiwen was full of energy when he saw Lu Hang speaking, and his heroic spirit burst out, and he liked it in his heart, "Personally dispensed Lu Hang, and said slowly: "Master Liu, come, sit down and eat, don't see outside." After a long march, I'm afraid I'm hungry, so hurry up and pad my hunger......"

Yan Xishan also said: "Yes, yes, don't talk patronizing" Hurry up and take a bite and taste Shanxi's famous ......"

Lu Hang was indeed hungry, so he was welcome, he picked up a piece of oily meat and put it in his mouth, and after tasting it a little, he couldn't help but applaud.

After Yang Aiyuan failed to lead 100,000 Jin Sui troops to cross the river and attack Xi'an, the three words of Lu Hang were firmly imprinted in his heart. When they met for the first time, they couldn't help but look at Lu Hang's face. provoked Lu Hang to laugh and say, "Commander Yang, do you have flowers on my face?" Don't look at it, I'm embarrassed to eat and drink anymore! ”

Lu Hang was a famous general of the Eighth Route Army, and these generals of the Jin Army originally had a certain psychological estrangement from him. In particular, he once took Tian from Yan Xishan. 10,000 yuan, and also sent a small army to make trouble in Pingyao City, and after recovering Taiyuan, Taiyuan was emptied, "so that the hard work of Jin to receive the army for many years was ruined." To be honest, if it weren't for the unity of the War of Resistance, there would be many people in the Jin Sui army who wanted to kill him.

Seeing that Lu Hang's characters were elegant and graceful, and his speech was so humorous, several Jin commanders laughed.

Yang Aiyuan stood up and said: "I was thinking just now, I don't know how many people think that Lu Hang must be a fighting man with a leopard's head and eyes and a voice like thunder, where would they have thought that Senior Commander Liu would look so elegant, a picture of a genius in the south of the Yangtze River." Come, I'll salute you with a bowl of ......"

Lu Hang knew that this Yang Aiyuan was Yan Xishan's de facto military deputy, and his trick to gaining Yan Xishan's trust for a long time was: "Work with the president, first, don't touch his power, and second, don't touch his money." He will do what he tells you to do, and if he doesn't let you do anything, don't do anything......"

Seeing Yang Aiyuan toasting, Lu Hang did not shirk, stood up and said loudly: "The Jin Jing Army has always been at the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance under the command of Commander Yan, and the Battle of Xinkou has made the little devil chill. Over the past year or so of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Jin Receiving Army and the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and reinforcements from all over the country have cooperated closely, causing the little devils to shrink on the lines of communication and have to take a defensive position. Shanxi can be called a model area for the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the War of Resistance, and the Jin Sui Army is also a strong arm of the Eighth Route Army in adhering to the Shanxi War of Resistance. Commander Yang, come, I'll have a bowl of wine with you, "I wish you and our two armies to unite and cooperate, and drive the Japanese invaders out of Shanxi ...... as soon as possible"

After speaking, Lu Hang raised the wine bowl and touched Yang Aiyuan, raised his head and drank.

All of those present are the descendants of Yan Xishan's lineage, and they know Yan Xishan's inner thoughts very well, and they are also extremely resistant to the Eighth Route Army's establishment of a base in Shanxi.
