"Then let's go eat first. Lao Lu. Lao Zheng. The two of you are responsible for accompanying the guests. Be sure to let Uncle Scar drink well." Redbeard smiled. Continue to command.

Deputy Captain Lu Feng immediately stood up. Politely extend an invitation to the old scar. The latter was reluctant to leave for the feast at once. Staring at Redbeard. Cautiously continue to ask." Red. Captain Red. I. I don't count. Does it count as yes. There is meritorious service.."

"Meritorious service.." Redbeard was stunned by the old scar's question. Hesitantly asked. When I saw each other's eyes, there was a deep panic. I immediately understood the origin of this question. Smiled. Respond loudly." Of course it counts. Except for you. No one has ever volunteered to provide us with such important information. Wait for the next time a traffic officer from up there. I will give you credit for the newly established Jinnan Division of the Eighth Route Army. They'll decide exactly what to give you."

"Thank you RED. Thank you, RED." The old scar thanked him repeatedly. It's as if I just owe a lot of favors to Redbeard." Bonus. I. I don't want it. I. I just want to. Just want to be for. Do what you can for our guerrillas."

Listen to him be so impartial. Redbeard couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Shake your head. He added loudly: "You can rest assured. Even if you don't offer us any message. As long as you are willing to come to Lama Gou to treat the warriors. It's the guests of our guerrillas. Although we guerrillas are flying the banner of **. But they will not fail to obey the rules of the grassland. Hack your own guests."

The so-called Prairie Rules. It refers to the responsibility of the steppe tribes to protect their guests. Regardless of whether the guest has had a holiday with him or not in the past. As long as he is invited by the master. The host is obliged to ensure his personal safety during his visit. Under no circumstances should you do any harm (Note 1)

Redbeard mentions the Prairie Rules at this point. To the old scar. More effective than any promise. Immediately. The stone that had been hanging in the eyes of the old scar's throat fell violently. He bowed deeply to Redbeard. He happily left with Deputy Captain Lu Feng. Passing by Zhao Tianlong's side. Don't forget to tilt your chin very hard. to show provocation.

Of course, Zhao Tianlong didn't want to be like him. Shake your head. Laugh. After the rest of the backbone is gone. before he walked over to Redbeard. Whispered suggestion." Zhou Heitan has done some things that are really unkind recently. But ......"

"In any case, we have to collude with the Japanese and Whitebeard first, prepare each other, and send the news of him to the other. Let him be prepared as soon as possible." Even if Zhao Tianlong doesn't mention it. Redbeard will not sit idly by and watch the Black Wolf Gang be exterminated by Whitebeard and the Japs. Nodding. Respond in a low voice.

"But ......." changed his tone. He looked at Zhang Songling again. At present, in addition to Zhou Heizi's team in the Black Stone Village. There are also several very important characters. According to the information we sent back from the inner line in the city. Zhou Heizi can win with one blow. These are a few great achievements. I can't figure out their attitude towards us right now. So I can't guarantee that our reminder will work."

"The leader is also my friend." Zhang Songling didn't even want to think about it. Take the initiative to explain." We were a year and a half ago. I once went to Beiping to join the army. Halfway through the encounter of a traitor's sneak attack. before they were separated from each other. Didn't expect to be on Siqin's side last month. We can meet each other again. Subsequently, in the ........"

Use as concise language as possible. He will be in the relationship with Peng Xuewen and others. And what happened after the reunion was stated to Redbeard. Finally, I don't forget to emphasize one sentence." This time, the chemical weapons of the little devils can be detected early. It's all thanks to Peng Xuewen. I was on the old twenty-six road. I've never seen anything like that."

"Oh." Compare it with what you know. Redbeard knew that Zhang Songling was very honest with him. Slightly groaned. I also decided to be open and honest." As far as I know. Your friend's military commanding organization. It's not very friendly to our Eighth Route Army. Knowing that the little devils are going to use chemical weapons against us. He was actually willing to rush back to give the little devil a trick to surround Wei and save Zhao. Really ........"

Gritting his teeth hard. He couldn't find a suitable word to explain what he really thought. Peng Xuewen's actions were very unexpected. Zhang Songling's actions also caught him by surprise. From a personal point of view. Redbeard is willing to take care of such a friend. Even if the other party is a military commander. But there are precedents for some organizing principles and friction between the KMT and the CCP. And he had to think about his position.

Fortunately, Zhang Songling didn't mind his wording. Zhang Songling grinned. There was a hint of helplessness in his smile. He was a year and a half ago. Same with me. It's all nerds who don't understand anything. It's just a mistake. It's just a different team. Let's be honest. This incident had a great impact on him personally. It's not good. It will delay his future in the future."

"I see." Redbeard frowned. Weigh it over and over again. The heart of defense is indispensable. Military commander agents appear on the steppe. It will definitely have a future impact on the future power structure of the area around Blackstone Village. It has a huge impact. But no matter what considerations are in place. Peng Xuewen et al.'s behavior this time. All did the partisans a great favor. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace. When they're in trouble. The partisans could not sit idly by. Relationship with them in the future. I'm afraid it should also be cooperation over competition. They even joined forces with each other to deal with the Japanese invaders. It's not impossible.

Come to think of it. He nodded. He said to Zhang Songling very solemnly: "Your friend has helped the guerrillas a lot. We have to recognize this favor. So anyway. We all have to go with him this time. I'm afraid you're the only one in the guerrilla team right now. I have a friendship with Zhou Heitan and him. So this time I went to the Black Stone Village to deliver the letter. It has to fall on you. I know it's going to make you tired. But ......"

"Not tired. You can go now." Zhang Songling stood up straight. Respond loudly.

"Ate first. Then ask the guy to bring you enough dry food for the road. This time I asked Xiao Zou to accompany you. Lao Zhao has injuries on his body. Don't be reckless."

"I. I'm okay with my injuries." Zhao Tianlong slumped his shoulders. Loud protest." It's really okay. The scars on the wounds are almost gone. It's going to get better on the road."

Redbeard shook his head. Very seriously explained: "Among the captive horse thieves. There were more than sixty people who wanted to stay and join the guerrillas. They all ride well. You'll have to hurry up and train them into an army. In case of a week of black charcoal, that kid is reluctant to give up the black stone village. No matter how difficult it is, we can. Gotta pull the team out. Just two or three days of hard work. Your burden is no lighter than Xiao Zhang's."

"Ahh This is down. Zhao Tianlong no longer dared to mention the stubble that accompanied Zhang Songling to Heishi Village to warn. The horse thieves are no better than the fighters of the guerrillas. Everyone has organization and discipline carved into their bones. Look at them like dragons and tigers when they fight with the wind. A little bit of frustration. They will be scattered as birds and beasts. Even with a machine gun in the back . It's hard to put them back together.

"It's difficult, isn't it?" Redbeard didn't look at Zhao Tianlong's expression at all. Laugh and add." Throwing a steamed bun dog will do something. Why should I let you go into the clouds and dragon to make a move.. Hurry up and prepare. After eating. I'll have the new warrior report to you, the head of the cavalry, right away."

"Yes." Zhao Tianlong's self-esteem was greatly satisfied. Saluted. Striding away.

Watch his back leave. Redbeard smiled. Continue to say to Zhang Songling: "Your third squadron. I've also helped you replenish sixty new recruits. A small half were recruited from a nearby pioneer village. The other half are also horse thieves who have just washed their hands. When you're away. I'll train them for you first. Waiting for you to come back from the Black Rock Village. You can take it over right away."

"I. I ......" Zhang Songling didn't expect that Redbeard would really let himself be alone so quickly. Stunned. Very moved to wave his hand." I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself. I've only been a company deputy before. Never ........."

"No one is born with it." Redbeard frowned. Interrupt loudly." I couldn't find a better fit on my hands. This squadron must be led by you. And also. As long as there is no task in the future. Every evening. This large meeting room is all yours to use. All the cadres, including me and Lao Lu. I'll come to hear from you about your experience of fighting with little devils. You have to be mentally prepared in advance!"

"Ahh Zhang Songling's heart became more and more shocked. The mouth is wide open. It took a while to start moving up and down again." I. Do your best to prepare. Do your best to live up to your trust."

"That's right. Young man. How can you do it without a little bit of energy?" Smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Redbeard whispered encouragement. But you don't have to be too nervous. When needed. Lao Lu and I will do our best to help you."

"Thank you. Thank you, Team Wang." There was a feeling of warmth from my shoulders to my heart. Zhang Songling nodded. Solemnly promised." I will definitely bring the third squadron out as soon as possible. I promise not to hold everyone back."

"Hmm." Redbeard nodded again. Thought about it. and whispered." Go to the Black Rock Village. It would be best if they could persuade Zhou Heizi to take the initiative to evacuate. If Zhou Heizi doesn't listen to persuasion. Don't force it either. He's our friend after all. Not an enemy. Whatever the result. You should rush back as soon as possible. I will also sit at home in advance to prepare. In case something happens. Then he led the team out of the mountain. At all costs. We're not going to watch Zhou Heitan and them get stuck in the city with a white beard."

Note 1: Prairie rules. Rules to protect guests from harm in their own territory. It is rumored to be a reflection on the murder of Temujin's father as a guest. In fact. Not only some Mongol tribes. Some areas of ancient Europe. There is a similar tradition. But Europeans have an obligation to protect their guests. Only limited to their Caucasian counterparts. For the Indians. If you can cheat, you will cheat. Tricked into their own encirclement. Turn your face on the wine table and tie up the ticket. I don't feel ashamed at all.
