With an inexplicable emotion, Yue Siliang and the others returned to the regiment headquarters.

For Zhang Yi, Yue Siliang always had a vigilance in his heart, and he always felt that this person was too mysterious. But anyway, they still gained something from going to the county seat this time, that is, the Zhang family seems to really plan to cooperate with the 424 regiment.

"Commander, I met with the representative of the Zhang family today. The matter has been almost discussed, the Zhang family is willing to sell the grain to us, and the price set is fifteen yen and one stone, and they can sell us a thousand stone. Do you think it's just a few days for them to bring food to us? ”

When Di Hanming came to see Yue Siliang, he was sitting on the kang and carefully wiping his gun. Hearing Di Hanming say this, Yue Siliang's movements in his hand were stagnant at that time, and he closed his eyes and fell into thought.

"Click."

The sleeve of the empty gun was reset and placed on the table. Yue Siliang shook his head gently.

"A thousand stones of grain weigh dozens of tons. How many carts would it take to get them all here? We simply don't have that capacity. And now we don't have a way to trust the Zhang family completely. Let's send it to the nearest White Cliff Terrace. Fifteen yuan a stone, a total of more than 1,000 stones...... Don't worry about the money, we will give the Zhang family 18,000 yen, and let them help us get together to transport grain, but it is best to use our own people to charge the grain. ”

Di Hanming didn't say much, just nodded, after so many years, he still has vigilance. However, he could also see that Yue Siliang seemed to have something on his mind.

"What's the matter, Captain? What did you encounter when you went to the county today? Got something on your mind? ”

Yue Siliang shook his head and said with a long sigh.

"I can't say it well, I met Zhang Yi today. Unlike last time, this time he directly refused my request to buy grain, as if he had expected that their Zhang family would definitely make a deal with our group, as for the box of fake money that Lei Zi carried, he didn't even look at it, which was completely different from the last time. ”

"How so? It seems that the Zhang family has made up their minds to cooperate with us this time. ”

Di Hanming said with some emotion.

"That's not right!"

Yue Siliang's eyes suddenly flashed.

"This matter is a little smooth, and it can't be completely pointed to the cooperation with the Zhang family! The previous plan can't be completely put down! ”

When Di Hanming heard Yue Siliang say this, a burst of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Captain, you haven't given up on your previous plan, have you? It's too risky to hit the county seat! Our regiment did not have enough heavy weapons, and it was impossible to overcome the defenses of the county seat, and all the surrounding areas of the county town were flat. In this kind of terrain, it is not wise to take the initiative to reach the enemy! Is this something to think about again? ”

Di Hanming stared at Yue Siliang deadly, his attitude was very clear, that is, in this matter, there was no room for concessions.

The air quieted down, and Yue Siliang and Di Hanming sat on the kang and the other on the ground. The two faced each other like this for a long time, and in the end, Yue Siliang made a concession.

"Okay, I'm thinking about it, maybe I'm too careful, and I hope we can get through this difficult time smoothly now. But if something happens this time, then in the end I will have to carry out my plan at my own discretion. ”

……

Baiyatai, Zhang's house.

Unlike the big families in other counties, the Zhang family did not live in the county seat. Instead, they lived in Baiyatai like the first battalion, but the difference was that the first battalion was stationed in the mountains of Baiyatai, while the Zhang family was guarding a fertile field. The two sides are separated by several mountain beams.

For the Zhang family, the 424th Regiment suddenly stationed here was an uninvited guest. Although the stationing of the 424th Regiment is secret, as the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths, and there is naturally no impermeable wall in this world.

After learning that there was a regular army living next to them, the Zhang family could not sleep well every day. One of the main reasons why their family can't help the county is to avoid people, and how terrible it is that a seismic change more than 20 years ago has left them no way back. It may be precisely because of this that they chose to actively cooperate with the 424th Regiment.

Zhang Cheng returned home, and the first thing he did was to meet his father, Mrs. Zhang.

"Mama, I'm back."

Mrs. Zhang was lying on the couch at this time, and her body was still covered with a thick quilt. If it were according to the old rules, the old lady would definitely have to smoke a bag of cigarettes at this time. It's just that since I had a serious illness last year, the old lady can't smoke anymore.

"Uh-huh, have you met the commander of the Eighth Route Army?"

As her body became weaker and weaker, Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to have any energy to speak, and said weakly.

"Yes, the matter has been negotiated with them. No matter what kind of food, it will be 15 yen per stone. ”

Old lady Zhang nodded slightly, and then thought of something.

"By the way, did you see the sharpshooter leader? What did he say? ”

Hearing Old Lady Zhang's question, Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"I don't know, the person I'm talking to is a tall and tall chief, but he is only talking in a crepe, and he shouldn't be the sharpshooter who makes the big eyes and stroke. I didn't say much to the tall chief, but we discussed the matter of buying food. ”

Old lady Zhang sighed lightly when she saw her son say this.

"That's right...... I'm old now, and I depend on you for my family. You are the only one left in our group, and you have to take the lead in the affairs of the family. Our family does not seek to be rich and rich, but only not to offend people, whether it is the Japanese, the Jin Sui Army, or these Eighth Route Army, if we can have a good relationship with them, we will find a way to have a good relationship. This time, the food that the Eighth Route Army asked for must not go wrong. ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhang Cheng also has a relative.

"Mama, what do you think my brother wants to do?"

Old lady Zhang didn't seem to want to talk much about this matter at this time, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

"They're the ...... The heart is too high, and after this incident, try not to pay too deeply. ”

……

As the day of trading gets closer, things are also going on in an orderly manner. The officers sent by Di Hanming to the first battalion have always maintained good communication with the Zhang family. The Zhang family also accepted some of the conditions put forward by the 424th Regiment and actively prepared mule and horse carts for this grain transaction.

Only the uneasy intuition in Yue Siliang's heart became stronger and stronger. This uneasiness lasted for three days, until the next day, the night of the grain trade, Yue Siliang began to get agitated.

After Fan Jianwen came to power, he began to exercise absolute control over food, and even gave up his own business.

Yue Siliang thought about the conversation with Shopkeeper Jiao when he went to Hengji that day, and the other party had no intention of selling his grain from beginning to end. As for taking yourself to the warehouse, the other party is afraid that he has no good intentions! But why did the other party suddenly suppress all plans later?

"Zhang Yi!"

Such a name suddenly flashed in Yue Siliang's mind. Why can you meet each other as soon as you get out of Hengji's warehouse? Why does this person must be a grain seller? And you happen to have the bulk of food you need?

But how can he explain that he gave up on himself later? And how to explain the attitude of the Zhang family?

At this moment, all the questions revolved around Zhang Yi, and it was then that Yue Siliang realized that everything he knew about Zhang Yi so far was just a name and a few words he had heard from the Changgong under the Zhang family!

Thinking of this, Yue Siliang realized that he had a fatal negligence. At this time, he made a decision, that is, tomorrow with Leizi, they will go to the county seat again!

He hoped that his oversight would be meaningless at best, but he couldn't have left everything to chance.

This is a life-and-death struggle, and in this struggle, both sides have the mentality that they must eradicate the other. There is no room for luck in this!

Yue Siliang, you want to explore Lingqiu three times!
