Chongqing.

Zeng Jiayan official residence.

Dai Libi stood respectfully in front of Lao Jiang and replied resignedly.

"You said that Sun Yumin not only personally whipped his division commander, but also asked the chief of staff to whip him himself?" Lao Jiang's words were full of surprise, he was also a person who had led soldiers, and he was able to sit in this position by relying on the Whampoa student soldiers under him in light years.

"Yes, take a seat." Dai Li replied: "It is said that several of his henchmen were beaten to the bone, and he himself was also not lightly injured. ”

"Just because a few of them are privately charging on the battlefield?" Lao Jiang still felt a little incredible.

"This is only one of the reasons, the most important thing is that these division commanders and regiment commanders have been martyred in Zhanshutang, the deputy army commander and commander of the 81st Division."

"I know this person, he is Han Fuyu's descendant, right? But I seem to have heard that he is not very well treated by Sun Tongxuan. He was transferred after Yumin took charge of the Twelfth Army, right? "Lao Jiang's memory is still good.

"Yes, yes. It is said that this exhibition hall has a good relationship with Sun Yumin, and when he bought weapons and equipment a few more times, the exhibition hall also took out all the savings of many years. ”

"Oh, I see." Hearing this, Lao Jiang finally understood Sun Yumin's approach.

"Commission, it is said that when Sun Tongxuan and Shang Zhen joined forces to sell Sun Yumin and his 20th division in the first battle of Lanfeng, only Zhanshutang secretly sent someone to send him a letter. The relationship between the two can be traced back to the time when Sun Yumin fought Jining and Yanzhou, and the 20th Division once helped the 81st Division a lot. ”

Dai Li's ability to say these words shows how terrible this person is. Just imagine, he can even dig out the old rotten grain and rotten sesame seeds, and he knows it in such detail, so what else does he want to know but can't know.

"Zhanshutang, if you don't follow Han Fuyu for many years, you can still use it." Lao Jiang did not feel any regret, just like it was not the general of the national army who died. "Yunong, let He Yingqin send a telegram of condolence to the Twelfth Army and Yumin, and posthumously present Zhanshutang with the rank of lieutenant general."

According to common sense, the condolence message is addressed to the family, and Sun Yumin is not a family member, so it can be seen that Lao Jiang did not sincerely mourn the exhibition hall, but did it to comfort Sun Yumin.

"Okay, Boss." Dai Li responded.

"Yunong, have you sent any news back from the few people you planted next to Yumin?"

Lao Jiang is suspicious by nature, this battle of Changsha, the entire frontal national army can not withstand it at all, but the 12th Army single-handedly resisted the two main divisions of the Japanese army, although there are heavy casualties, but this strength and courage not only make Lao Jiang happy, but also make him quite worried.

Actually, this doesn't mean that he doesn't trust Sun Yumin, it's just that Lao Jiang is like this, who made Sun Yumin not an officer from the Huangpu department, although he can be regarded as a descendant now, and he can also be regarded as a member of the civil engineering department, but compared to Yu Jishi and Hu Zongnan and others, they are not so close in the end, and Lao Jiang Sun Yumin still has a little suspicion.

"There's not much movement on Sun Yumin's side, he's been busy fighting." Dai Li replied: "However, I received a message from Sun Yumin's lair yesterday, from Huoshan. ”

As for why Sun Yumin built the "old nest" in the Dabie Mountains, Lao Jiang has always been puzzled, so after Liao Lei passed away, after Li Pinxian took charge of Anhui, he told him several times to pay more attention to Huoshan.

In Lao Jiang's subjective consciousness, Sun Yumin abandoned his post and returned to Yangshupu back then, which is definitely not as simple as it seems, and must have other unsightly sides. In the past, there was no need to worry, but now Sun Yumin has a heavy army, not to mention, and his fame is greater than that of the generals of the national army, if he has any "problem", the consequences will be no less than Wang Jingwei's treason.

There were a lot of worries, so as soon as he heard that Sun Yumin's "old nest" was abnormal, Lao Jiang immediately became nervous and asked, "What news?" ”

"According to the news from our people, the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army has been in frequent contact with Sun Yumin's old subordinate Liu Wenzhi recently." Dai Li said this paragraph word by word.

"Liu Wenzhi?"

"Yes, take a seat." Dai Li ordered a few pieces of paper from the folder in his hand, and the top one also had a photo on it, apparently a person's file.

Lao Jiang took the pieces of paper and looked at them carefully.

"Liu Wenzhi, a native of Xiangyin, Hunan. He enlisted in the army in the 22nd year of the Republic of China, and first served in Sun Lianzhong's department, and his platoon commander was Sun Yumin. In June of the 25th year of the Republic of China, the teaching corps was expanded, and he was transferred in with Sun Yumin, and served as the commander of the third platoon of the first company of the second battalion of the second regiment of the teaching corps, and its company commander was Sun Yumin. When Sun Yumin took office as the commander of the second battalion of the second regiment of the teaching corps, he was appointed as the commander of the first company, which can be said to have taken over the mantle of Sun Yumin, which shows his status in Sun Yumin's heart. ”

Dai Li's words have always emphasized that Liu Wenzhi is Sun Yumin's right-hand man, and he knows that if he didn't say so, Lao Jiang would not feel the key to this.

"After the first battle of Guanghuamen in Nanjing, the teaching corps fought very strongly, after the martyrdom of Xie Chengrui, the commander of the second regiment, Sun Yumin was promoted to the regiment commander by the line of fire, and Liu was also appointed as the battalion commander, so to speak, as long as Sun Yumin is promoted, then this Liu Wenzhi will also follow the promotion."

"One person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven" is a very normal thing, but it can be said by Dai Li, but it is another taste, and after just two paragraphs, Lao Jiang's brows furrowed slightly.

"When Sun Yumin was appointed as the chief of the quartermaster logistics department of the new 46th Division, this Liu Wenzhi also followed him, and after Yumin became the commander of the 20th Division, this Liu Wenzhi was reused again and served as the chief of staff and the commander of the 60th Brigade."

"After the First Battle of Lanfeng, Sun Yumin was seriously wounded, and the 20th Division was actually under his actual jurisdiction, but I don't know why, suddenly he handed it over to Zhang Xiaohu, another henchman of Sun Yumin, and came to Wuhan by himself. Later, Sun Yumin's resignation happened, and this Liu Wenzhi and a part followed Sun Yumin to live at the foot of Dabie Mountain, which is now Sun Yumin's 'old nest' in Yangshupu in Huoshan County, Lu'an, Anhui Province. ”

When Dai Li spoke, Lao Jiang had already read a few pieces of paper in his hand hastily, there was not a lot of information on the paper, just Liu Wenzhi's personal resume in the early stage, and it had not been updated for a long time, basically of no value, far less detailed than Dai Li's dictation.

"During this time in Huoshan, this Liu Wenzhi has always been Sun Yumin's right-hand man, and Sun Yumin also values him very much, and he is completely trained as a deputy."

"The Liu Wenzhi you are talking about, has he always followed Sun Yumin during the Northwest Army?" Lao Jiang suddenly interjected.

"Yes, take a seat." Dai Li replied: "If the news is correct, when he was in the Northwest Army, he always looked at Sun Yumin. ”

"Then it's not a short time." Old Jiang seemed to be muttering to himself.

"This Liu Wenzhi, when Sun Yumin was appointed as the Huoshan Independent Detachment, he was still a deputy commander, and even when Sun Yumin was promoted to the commander of the Twelfth Army, he was also nominated by Sun as the deputy commander, but he did not arrive."

"Has he been nominated for deputy commander? Same as Zhanshutang? Lao Jiang interjected again.

"Yes, he didn't arrive."

"This is strange, listening to what you said before, he should be in office immediately, how can he be willing to give up the position of deputy commander."

It is also true that if ordinary people want to sit in the position of deputy commander, it is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky, according to Liu Wenzhi's previous life trajectory, he should have taken office immediately, but he gave up, and no one would be able to figure it out.

"What is the reason for this, my subordinates don't know." Although Dai Li is powerful, he really can't trace things like this kind of personal wishes.

Lao Jiang nodded, waiting for Dai Li to continue.

"Since this Liu Wenzhi went to Jiangxi and Hunan, he stayed alone in Huoshan and stayed in the 'old nest' created by Sun Yumin."

"It's not surprising that he stayed, everyone has their own ambitions! Maybe he was tired of his horse career, so he would be willing to stay at the foot of the mountain and live a peaceful life. Dai Li said so many words, and he never got to the point, which made Lao Jiang a little unhappy, plus he was more willing to believe in Sun Yumin, and he was willing to believe in Sun Yumin's henchmen in Aiwu and Wudi, after all, if something went wrong with Sun Yumin, the consequences would ...... Lao Jiang didn't want to imagine.

"At first, I had the same idea as you, but recently I received information from there one after another, this Liu Wenzhi and the commander of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army XHD got very close, not only provided a batch of guns and ammunition to the New Fourth Army, although the number is not very large, but this nature is problematic. Moreover, this Liu Wenzhi also gave a large amount of grain to the New Fourth Army, and you also know that at this moment, most places in the three provinces of Shandong, Henan, and Anhui are short of food. Let's put it this way, the batch of grain given by Liu Wenzhi is enough for the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army not to go hungry this winter. This is not counting, all indications have indicated that this Liu Wenzhi may lead his troops to join the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army. ”

"Is the news conclusive?" Of all the words Dai Li, only the last one was shocking. For Lao Jiang, this is very alarming news, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked coldly.

"Absolutely." Dai Li added: "Although the New Fourth Army was re-established by the Communist Party, the scale of the Jiangbei detachment is not small, and it is precisely because of the newly formed troops that I have the opportunity to insert into the inner line, and this news came out of that internal line." ”

"Then what is the relationship between Liu Wenzhi and Sun Yumin now?" Lao Jiang asked.

"Commission, according to the news from the people I sent back to Sun Yumin, he has not been in contact with Huo Shan for a long time, and Sun Yumin is completely unaware of Liu Wenzhi's move. It is for this reason that I dare to report back to you today. Dai Li's words were a little contradictory, and seeing that Lao Jiang was a little confused, he explained again.

"After receiving the news that Liu Wenzhi was going to join the New Fourth Army, I immediately contacted the agent who was hiding beside Sun Yumin, who was personally selected by me and was highly loyal to the party-state. Her code name is 'Barley Grass', and she has been by Sun Yumin's side for a short time, and she has won Sun Yumin's trust, and the news she sent back is extremely reliable. ”

"You say this to tell me that Sun Yumin is not disloyal to the party-state, right?"

"Yes, yes." Dai Li said: "I have planted three important people by Sun Yumin's side, all of whom are people that Sun Yumin cannot imagine and suspect, if you say that Barley Grass alone is not credible, but if the three of them, as well as the people I planted in other places of the Twelfth Army, they are all the same news, which can fully show that Liu Wenzhi's side is his personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Sun Yumin." ”

"Since it has nothing to do with Sun Yumin, then why did you report this matter to me?" Lao Jiang asked rhetorically, if it is really as Dai Li said, it has nothing to do with Sun Yumin, then why do you have to report it, it makes him worry for a long time.

"Commission, I didn't plan to report it at first, but just yesterday, I received a secret message that this Liu Wenzhi is about to go to Hunan, and the reason and purpose of his visit are unknown."

"Since he and Sun Yumin have no contact, why did he come to Hunan to find it at this time? Is it ......?"

Lao Jiang didn't finish his words, he knew that his military commander would find out this matter for him.

"Commission, my subordinates are also worried that such a person who is close to the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party will have some unexpected impact on Sun Yumin when he goes to Sun Yumin's side, so he will report to you in a hurry." Dai Li is telling the truth, with his principles and methods of doing things, this kind of information that has not been investigated and verified is impossible to bring to the table, let alone to tell Lao Jiang.

However, now Sun Yumin is like the sky, not to mention the victory of Shanggao, and the killing of the commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army before the victory of Shanggao, Ito Masaki, this Northern Hunan War alone, the Twelfth Army alone carried the two main forces of the Japanese army, and still fought a big victory, and no one in this glory of the generals of the national army can stand out. And it happened that at this time, Liu Wenzhi, who was very close to the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party, suddenly wanted to go to his side, which was undoubtedly not a very dangerous signal for Dai Li, who was the director of the Military Command Bureau, if he did not remind Lao Jiang of this rather dangerous signal as soon as possible, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

"This person is a hidden danger, whether he has been rebelled by the CCP or not, just because he provides weapons and food to the 'rebels', the party-state can no longer tolerate him, let alone let him continue to plague the pillars of the party-state and the ministers of the humerus. Rain farmer, get rid of him, get rid of him without a trace. ”

As early as the beginning of the year during the Southern Anhui Incident, Lao Chiang had already declared the New Fourth Army a "rebel army", but even under his suppression, our party still rebuilt the New Fourth Army. A "rebel army" declared by Lao Jiang will not be supplied by the Nationalist Government, so compared with the Eighth Route Army, the life of the New Fourth Army is more difficult, and it is precisely because of this that Lao Jiang has extra hatred and jealousy for those who give aid to the New Fourth Army, and the previous batch of weapons and equipment "sold" to the New Fourth Army by Sun Yumin made him suspicious for a long time, not to mention Liu Wenzhi, his approach has committed Lao Jiang's taboo.

Although Liu Wenzhi has always been in Huoshan, he is still the deputy commander of the Huoshan Independent Detachment, and he has a military position, and he can be regarded as a general of the national army. The reason why Lao Jiang did not hesitate to issue a "nirvana order" to Liu Wenzhi is very simple, he doesn't want to be the most powerful descendant in the limelight, and he has a little bit to do with the red and the Communist CD.
