Chapter 350: Extraneous Branches: Change of formation before the war

The sun is shining in the west. Jixi. The southwest of the Hebei border region. West of Shuihe Village.

On the dirt road on the east side of the endless corn field that is more than one person high, the middle-aged man who sells daily necessities and Yu Genshan are in contact with each other, and the two of them have a conversation that sounds like a bland conversation, but in fact they have accurately matched the first sentence and the second and third sentences. The reason why Fang Jiren made the joint code words so cumbersome and verbose is because the current situation in the Hebei border area is intricate and extremely complex, with multiple forces infiltrating each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, especially the dispatch of people to make an emergency connection this time is also related to whether a series of major military operations can be carried out and the outcome of victory or defeat in the past few days, and another reason is that the secret liaison person disguised as a small trader came to Shuihe Village to connect with Yu Genshan for the first time. Therefore, we have to be extra cautious to avoid mistakes. Yu Genshan also very much agrees with Fang Jiren's approach and the cumbersome code words of the agreed joints.

Han Dagang, who was standing next to Yu Genshan, chatted with the small traders one after another, and at the same time looked at each other carefully. He found that the peddler's body was leaning forward slightly, his left and right feet were standing more than half a foot apart, and his arms were slightly open and bent to his sides. Later, seeing the sturdy body of the small trader and the thick bone joints on his two hands, Han Dagang immediately judged that this person was a practitioner with superb martial arts. Coming to Shuihe Village at this time must have been sent by Francis, and it had a lot to do with the military operations at night. However, Han Dagang felt that this person was very good-looking, he had never seen him in the Fang family's compound before, so he should have come down from the gourd valley of Yufeng Mountain, and he was a trusted subordinate of the seventh master Fang Zhenhai. Well? Could it be that Fang Zhenhai, the seventh master of the military operation at night, is also going to send troops out of the mountains to participate in the war? Han Dagang secretly speculated and judged in his heart.

The little trader listened to Han Dagang's chatter and gossip, but he didn't leave, and his heart was anxious. With him in the way, he can't say the second code word to Yu Genshan, how can he let this chief leave quickly? The peddler urged:

"Sir, have you finished picking? Hurry up. Before dark, I have to rush back to the county seat to make an errand with the owner. It's more than ten miles, and I have to ride for a while. ”

Yu Genshan immediately understood what the vendor meant. He held ten black buttons in his left hand, touched the four pockets on his military uniform with his right hand, and touched the pocket of his right trousers, and said suddenly:

"Ouch, I forgot to bring the money. Dagang, did you bring any money? ”

"I didn't bring any money with me. Fellow, how much is it? Han Dagang asked.

"Ten buckles a dollar. Hey? Why don't you two commanders have any hammers? Your Eighth Route Army won't be poor enough to do this, will you? Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, I never pay on credit. Or the two of you can give me a few bullets. ”

"Hey? I said, fellow, it's too expensive to sell your ten buttons for one dollar, right? How many bullets do you want to top the account? You're really good at trading. Han Dagang said disdainfully.

"Okay, okay, don't be verbose. Dagang, you hurry up and run back and get me a dollar. Go, I'm waiting for you here. ”

"It's not expensive, and I still have some errand money here. I've been out all day, is it easy for me on such a hot day? The small trader said aggrievedly.

"Okay, good, it's not expensive, it's not expensive, I'll get you the money. Fellow, when you go back, you must take me Han Dagang to say hello to the seventh master and the little young master. Han Dagang said tentatively.

"Bh. Yes? What is the seventh master, the little young master? I didn't understand what you said, and I didn't know the two masters you were talking about. The peddler denied it in a panic.

Han Dagang, who knew what was going on in his heart, completely lifted his vigilance and vigilance, and he smiled kindly and trustingly at the small traders. At the same time, he was full of confidence in the victory of his actions in the night, and immediately turned and ran away.

The little trader looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked:

"Sir, are you Brother Nanling Mountain?"

"I'm not Brother Nanling Mountain, I'm Uncle Beiyue Gen." Yu Genshan replied in a low voice.

The second joint code word was matched accurately, and the little trader nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Yu Genshan with trust in his eyes and said the third joint code word:

"Sir, do you have anything of value that you can show me?"

"Yes. I'm worth a lot of money, you have to look at it carefully and see it clearly. Yu Genshan took out the tiger head card that Francis had given him from his trouser pocket and handed it to the small trader.

The little trader took the tiger head brand and looked at it carefully and over and over again, and also took out a tiger head brand of the same size from his trouser pocket and compared it, nodded and said:

"Well, that's right. This is our Fang family's, and it belongs to the little young master. Hello Commander Yu Genshan, I was urgently sent by the young master Fang Jiren to deliver the secret letter, and he also asked me to tell you that the new plan must be strictly implemented, and it is absolutely not allowed to go out of shape. Otherwise, it's going to be bad. After speaking, the vendor pulled out a small drawer from the bottom of the wooden box on the back shelf of the bicycle seat, pulled out the bottom of the drawer, and then took out a letter from the mezzanine of the bottom plate and handed it to Yu Genshan: "Commander Yu, please read carefully, see clearly, remember, and write your name and date after reading and bring it back to me to hand in the order." ”

Yu Genshan took the letter and read it carefully twice, firmly remembering the contents of the letter, then took off the pen pinned to the left pocket of the military jacket, wrote his name and date in the blank space in the bottom right corner of the letter paper and returned it to the small trader. I asked very incomprehensibly:

"Fellow, did Francis ask you to bring the letter back? Why? ”

"I don't know. Let me do what I do, I have to do it, I can't be out of shape. I'm thinking about it, maybe I'm afraid of leaking the news. The vendor put the letter back as it was.

"Well, yes. Fellow, may I ask your surname? Yu Genshan asked politely.

"Captain Yu, my surname is Fang, and the little master is my family. In order to make it convenient and safe to meet in the future, you can call me Boss Jia. ”

"Huh? Boss Jia? Aren't you surnamed Fang? Why is it called that? Oh, yes, yes, you're not a fake boss. Let's go, follow me back to the village to drink some water, rest your feet and walk again. ”

"No, no, no. Commander Yu, I can't follow you into the village this time, and I can't let others see the two of us alone. This one is up to you. After speaking, Boss Jia lifted his coat, untied a slender cloth bag from his back waist and handed it to Yu Genshan.

"Ouch, why is it so heavy? Boss Jia, what is in your cloth bag? Yu Genshan took the heavy cloth bag and asked puzzledly.

"This is the ten gold bars that the young master of my family specially asked me to give you this time. Okay, Commander Yu, don't say it, I have to leave immediately. Boss Jia said as he put away the wooden box.

"Okay. Boss Jia, be more careful on the road, there will be a period later. ”

"There will be a date later." Boss Jia got on his bicycle and left.

Yu Genshan tied the cloth bag containing the gold bars to his waist, looked at the towering Yufeng Mountain to the west, and fell into deep thought: why did Francis change his plan of action at night? Something must have happened, something must have happened? Does it affect the night action?

Dada— With the sound of horses' hooves, Han Dagang rode over, grabbed the reins beside Yu Genshan, turned over and dismounted. took out a piece of money from his pocket and handed it to Yu Genshan and said:

"Commander, give you money. Ay? What about that fellow just now? Why aren't you there? ”

"Oh, that fellow is in a hurry to go home, I gave him a bullet and sent him away."

"Oh, that's what happened, I hope so. I knew that I wouldn't come back, isn't this a waste of time to walk me on errands? Han Dagang knew it.

"Dagang, the operation at night will be postponed for two hours, and the participating troops will set off again at half past ten. Also, you should go to the artillery company at once, check the origin of the weapons and equipment, and gather all the mountain artillery, mortars, thunder canisters, and all the shells in the regiment on standby. ”

"Huh?! Commander, you want to use all the family resources of the supplementary regiment?! What the hell is going on tonight? What a big move? Han Dagang asked in surprise.

"Deputy Head Han, don't ask so much. The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay, so go and carry out the order. Yu Genshan ordered solemnly.
