After a long while, Misawa Fang with his fists clenched came to his senses from his rage.

Looking back at the figure of the Eighth Route Army in the distance, who was being driven to the mountains by the imperial army, Misawa knew that his operation was destined to end in a hasty finish.

There is no way, the bank in the county town was attacked, which is already a very serious matter, if he loses the stationing of the troops for this, then he Misawa will become the laughing stock of the entire wing and even the entire division! If that's the case, that's where his future in the army ends.

Thinking of this, he looked powerlessly at the communication soldier beside him and sighed.

"Signal flares and flags are used to get troops to withdraw from the fighting ...... immediately."

……

The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, Zhoucun.

In the dim light, Li Hongyi looked at the flickering flames on the table, and habitually played with the iron lion walnut in his hand.

After leaving the city in the morning, he went directly back to his eldest brother's house and discussed with the other party about raising supplies.

After the last big change, although Li Hongyi didn't say it, he had actually forgiven his father and eldest brother in his heart. However, because the connection in the past was too deep, he was unable to live with his eldest brother for a while. Therefore, every time he returned to the village, he lived in a two-in, two-out mansion that Zhou Hongwen bought for him.

When he came back this time, although Zhou Hongwen was a little surprised that Li Hongyi wanted to raise tens of thousands of catties of grain and hundreds of catties of salt, he still resisted the urge to break the casserole and ask the end. Out of debt to Li Hongyi, he had no doubt for the first time, and directly and readily promised to raise the required food within three days. And pointed out that if it is not enough, it will be replaced by the food stored in his own house.

Seeing that Zhou Hongwen agreed so happily, Li Hongyi was shocked, but also took the initiative to stay and have dinner with his eldest brother's family for the first time.

In the evening, he refused Zhou Hongwen's retention, and brought a few absolute henchmen to this courtyard that Zhou Hongwen bought for him alone, waiting for his guests to come to the door.

At this moment, Li Hongyi had dismissed all the servants in the courtyard, leaving only his three henchmen. This matter is a head-off thing, and he doesn't want to be reported for fornication by that talkative person.

As the time approached late at night, Li Hongyi, who had been waiting for several hours, yawned a lot, leaned back in his chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Master Li...... Someone should have come outside, but they haven't come in, and it seems to be circling around the yard. ”

At this moment, a stout man in black pushed the door and approached the room, and then said respectfully.

Hearing this, Li Hongyi slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

"Master Li, why don't I take someone out to have a look?"

Hearing this, Li Hongyi stopped the movement in his hand and shook his head gently.

"Don't worry...... Let's wait here in peace. Besides, we still don't know if it's a ghost or a person coming from outside, so we'll just wait here. ”

Regarding Zhao Shixun's visit, to be honest, Li Hongyi was still a little surprised. After all, although the devil bank in the county is on the bright side, it is not said that it can be robbed. Regarding the state of the devil's protection of this bank, Li Hongyi, who has lived in the city for a long time, knows the roots.

Although he discussed with Zhao Shixun a few days ago, if the other party got a military ticket, he would send someone to this courtyard to trade with him. But in fact, in private, Li Hongyi was not optimistic about Zhao Shixun's action, and even felt that the other party was likely to fail.

And if the other party fails, it is unknown whether it will involve itself. So at this time, although there was movement outside, Li Hongyi was still unmoved, just waiting quietly in the house.

In his opinion, it was someone who would come in and trade with him sooner or later. And if it's a ghost, then he's pretending he doesn't know anything!

Although Li Hongyi didn't believe that Zhao Shixun would betray him, there was a way to be careful about making the Ten Thousand Years Ship, so he had to think about the worst and consider everything.

……

In this way, after waiting patiently for half an hour, there was finally a knock on the door from outside the hospital.

A moment later, a subordinate led two men in black with two bulging bags.

As soon as the person entered the room, Li Hongyi immediately sat up from the chair.

He didn't need to look at the face under the brim of the other party's hidden hat, he recognized who it was just from the momentum emanating from the other party.

"I didn't expect it, Captain Zhao, you are really strong, and this devil's money bank will really let you take it!"

In the compliment, Li Hongyi's eyes were firmly fixed on the bags in the hands of Zhao Shixun and Dapeng, as if he wanted to see through the bags.

Hearing Li Hongyi's voice, Zhao Shixun also took off the hat on his head in time, stared at the other party's eyes and asked:

"What do I want?"

Hearing this, Li Hongyi was stunned, and then smiled.

"What? Captain Zhao still can't trust me? ”

"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other, that's what you said."

Seeing Zhao Shixun speak with his promise, Li Hongyi did not deny it.

"Captain Zhao is right, I said that. But as you know, food is in short supply. Not only you eight roads, but even the devils are always staring at it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Hongyi walked up to Zhao Shixun, looked into the other party's eyes and said solemnly:

"I'll admit I'm having some difficulties, but rest assured, within three days I'll have the goods ready and delivered to where you said I am, how about it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun squinted his eyes and stared at the handsome face in front of him, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, deal!"

Seeing that Zhao Shixun nodded, Li Hongyi suddenly waved his hand lightly to indicate that he had something to say.

"Don't worry, I don't know how many military tickets you've gotten."

After the words were closed, Li Hongyi pointed to the bag in Zhao Shixun's hand and signaled that he wanted to inspect the goods first.

Hearing this, he glanced at the other party with disdain, Zhao Shixun casually untied the rope tightly tied to the bag, and then fell directly to the table of the Eight Immortals in front of him!

Crash...... Bundles of 10 and 50 yuan worth of military tickets soon filled the entire table, and some even fell to the ground.

"Have you seen enough?"

……

"Enough...... That's enough...... That's enough. ”

Speaking of this, Li Hongyi, whose voice trembled a little, stared at the other bag of military tickets in Dapeng's hand and blinked, signaling to pour out the bag as well.

"It should be a military ticket in there...... too."

Hearing Li Hongyi's words, Dapeng, who was carrying the bag, immediately looked displeased.

"Captain Li, we are not three-year-old children, the military tickets on this table are definitely more than enough to buy your supplies, don't try to fool us!"

Hearing Dapeng's words, Li Hongyi realized something, and then looked at Zhao Shixun and smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe...... what this brother said is that these military tickets are indeed enough. But then again, food is something that will be eaten sooner or later. In this case, why don't you two leave the money with me for the time being, and when you need it, you can exchange it for supplies and take it away, wouldn't it be better and more convenient? ”

Listening to Li Hongyi's explanation, Dapeng didn't react for a while, and actually nodded stupidly. However, Zhao Shixun, who had never spoken, had already seen through Li Hongyi's thoughts.

Zhao Shixun knew very well that his military tickets were rich and surplus, not to mention buying 50,000 catties of grain. And even if Li Hongyi's follow-up proposal is very good, it is obviously not necessary in Zhao Shixun's opinion.

You must know that the independent detachment now has a relatively fixed base area. Not surprisingly, the first batch of military rations will be received as soon as next year's summer rations arrive. In other words, as long as these few months of scarcity are passed, the food problem of the independent detachment can be greatly alleviated. At that time, there is no need for him to buy food with Li Hongyi.

In addition, Zhao Shixun also has his own calculations about the usefulness of this batch of military tickets. You must know that the independent detachment is now short of food, weapons, ammunition and medicine. However, it was obviously too difficult to buy these things from Li Hongyi, so in addition to going to the battlefield to seize them, he could only turn to his superiors, that is, a column, for help. And these captured military tickets are the best bargaining chips that Zhao Shixun plans to use to exchange materials with the column.

"Captain Li, there is a way to pay with one hand and deliver with the other. However, in these extraordinary times, I can understand your distress, and I also believe that Captain Li will keep his promise. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun took out the map he was carrying and spread it on the table, and then pointed to a location on it.

"Three days later, you send someone to deliver the supplies I want here, and I will send someone to receive the supplies when the time comes, is there a problem?"

Hearing this, he looked at the dots on the map, and Li Hongyi pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Thank you Chief Zhao for your trust, please rest assured, I will leave the cattle pulling the cart to you at that time, and I will have a little personal thought."

At this point, Li Hongyi also knew that Zhao Shixun would not be easily deceived.

Although he coveted the other bag of military tickets in the other party's hand, Li Hongyi really did not reach the point where he lost his mind for money.

He knows very well that there is a way that people die for money, and birds die for food, not to mention that he has already made a lot of money this time, and it is too unwise to calculate the wealth outside his body.

In this way, Zhao Shixun and Li Hongyi happily reached a deal.

Subsequently, Zhao Shixun did not refuse Li Hongyi's invitation and rested at the other party's house for a few hours.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Shixun and Dapeng hurriedly bid farewell to Li Hongyi, and then took advantage of the darkness before dawn to leave the village and embark on the journey back to the base area.

……

A few days later, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Dapeng and Lao Immortal rushed to the predetermined location with a company of soldiers as promised, and then smoothly handed over to Li Hongyi's people, bringing 50,000 jin of grain, more than 200 jin of salt and some cooking oil back to Shenquan Village.

With this batch of materials, Zhao Shixun discussed with Zhou Yu, who returned from completing the training task, and directly took out thousands of catties of grain to the surrounding villages to exchange for a lot of livestock and more than a dozen jars of liquor.

By Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire people of Shenquan Village were invited to the camp of the independent detachment.
