Due to the captivity of Minoru Higashikunomiya and the leaderlessness of the Japanese Second Army, the Japanese base camp had to urgently dispatch a person from the country to take charge of the overall situation.

Hatohiko Asakanomiya and Minoru Higashikurenomiya are half-brothers, one was born in October 1887 and the other was born in December 1887, and the two were almost the same age. In December 1937, he was appointed commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and then participated in the Battle of Nanjing, which directly led to the Nanjing Massacre. Later, due to the innoorious Japanese army due to the massacre, the Japanese base camp was abolished in February 38, and the Shanghai Dispatch Army was abolished, and Hatohiko Asakanomiya and Matsui Ishine were both recalled to Japan. After returning to Japan, King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya remained at the High Headquarters and served as a military counselor.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Hatohiko Asakanomiya was appointed commander of the Second Army and immediately flew from Japan to Hefei. It's just that after he came to Hefei, for several days, the Second Army of Hefei seemed unusually calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Zhenyu, what the hell do you say the devils of the Second Army are doing, Minoru Higashikurenomiya is in our hands, these days they don't send people to negotiate, and they don't send troops to attack, what do they think? I heard that Emperor Hirohito sent his other uncle, Hatohiko Asakamiya, as the commander of the Second Army, could it be that Hirohito really felt that he had more uncles, and it didn't matter if he had one and a half less, regardless of the life or death of Minoru Higashikunomiya? ”

It turned out that since Bai Fei and others captured Minoru Higashimiya and came to Lu'an, Song Xilian, the commander of the 71st Army, was taken aback, and in order to prevent the Japanese army in Hefei from attacking Lu'an after being angry, Song Xilian mobilized the army overnight and retransferred the 88th Division originally stationed in Dabie Mountain to Lu'an, preparing to fight with the Japanese army when it came to attack. Unexpectedly, after several days of preparation, the Japanese Second Army did not move at all, and did not even have the slightest intention of advancing westward.

So he couldn't help it that day, so he came to ask Bai Fei to learn some information from him.

However, Bai Fei didn't pay too much attention to the performance of the Japanese army, he behaved very calmly, leisurely, and quite leisurely and elegantly made a pot of tea by himself, and was pouring himself a drink.

Seeing Song Xilian's anxious face, Bai Fei asked him to sit down, poured him another cup of tea, and said, "Brother Yin Guo, don't be impatient." Wouldn't it be just right for us for the Japanese army to stand still. ”

Song Xilian took a sip of tea and said: "The words are good, the Japanese prepared two armies in order to attack Wuhan, and now the second army is blocked to the east of Dabie Mountain, but... Now they are holding their troops like this, but it also makes people feel bottomless, it is better to have a happy fight, so that at least it makes people feel at ease..."

Bai Fei smiled: "What, Brother Yin Guo is in a hurry to make a contribution?" ”

Song Xilian shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, it's just that such a big thing happened, and the Japanese can be so calm, it's really unreassuring... Speaking of which, it's all your fault, if you hadn't caught Minoru Higashikuremiya, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry..."

Bai Fei laughed, poured another cup of tea for him, Song Xilian took it and drank it again, and said, "I don't think you're in a hurry at all, hey, tell me, what do you think?" ”

Bai Fei said: "Don't worry, listen to me." Actually, don't look at the devils pretending to be like nothing happened, in fact, they are playing psychological warfare with us, if they really don't care about the life of Minoru Higashikuremiya, I'm afraid they would have led troops to attack a long time ago. Now that they are not moving, it shows that they still have some scruples..."

"Then why don't they send someone to negotiate?"

"Didn't I say it, they're playing a psychological war with us, if you have patience, just wait, sooner or later they will send someone to negotiate the conditions."

Song Xilian said: "I don't have so much patience, now although the Japanese army in the north is blocked, along the river in the south, the progress of the Japanese 11th Army is very fast, and the vanguard of the Japanese army is less than 300 kilometers away from Wuhan." In addition, there are only a few fortresses such as Tianjiazhen in the Yangtze River waterway, and once the waterway is unobstructed, the speed of the Japanese army's advance will be accelerated..."

When Bai Fei heard this, he also sighed, stood up and said, "Since this is the case, let's not play with the devil..." ”

Li Hu immediately ran in from outside the door and said, "Tuanzao, what are your orders?" ”

Bai Fei said: "Immediately chop off the little finger of Minoru Higashikurenomiya, and then go to catch a ghost soldier near Tang Laozhuang, and ask him to send his finger to Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, and say that they should send someone to negotiate quickly, otherwise they will send one a day." ”

When Song Xilian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Zhenyu, after all, we are soldiers, not kidnappers, if the matter spreads, will it not affect it badly." Besides, the main reason why we keep Minoru Higashikuremiya is to exchange for benefits, and if we provoke the other party, it will not be easy for us to exchange some benefits. ”

Bai Fei waved his hand and said: "To be honest, I don't want any benefits from the devil myself, and I'm not afraid that this matter will spread, you don't care about this matter, I will bear all the notoriety, this is just my personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with the government and the army." ”

Song Xilian's face turned a little red when he was said, and Bai Fei continued: "Originally, I wanted to play psychological warfare with devils, but it's really boring to think about it now. In that case, let's be ruthless and put some pressure on the devil. ”

Song Xilian knew that Chiang Kai-shek had already handed over this matter to Bai Fei to deal with, and now that Bai Fei had made a decision, it was naturally difficult for him to participate in the opinion.

……

Two hours later, the little finger of Minoru Higashikunomiya's right hand had been placed in front of Hatohiko Asakanomiya.

Looking at the bloody half of his fingers, Chao Xianggong Hatohiko's face turned green, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Baga Ya Road!" It's just too deceitful! ”

Staff officer Shun Nishio: "Your Excellency King Yan, according to the report of the soldier who sent the letter, the other party asked us to send someone to negotiate immediately, otherwise a finger will be sent a day." ”

Another staff officer said: "It seems that they can't hold their breath..."

Before the words fell, Hatohiko Asakanomiya glared at him and said, "In any case, the life of King Minoru of Higashikurenomiya is the most important thing, and it seems that we have to send an intermediary to negotiate as soon as possible." ”

Nishio Junyi: "Your Excellency King Yan is right, this Bai Fei is a ruthless person, and he also claims that all this is his personal behavior, if he is not convinced, even if he goes to Lu'an to find him to reason, he will wait in Lu'an!" If we don't do what he asks, His Excellency King Minoruhiko Higashikuremiya will most likely be..."

"That's it! I know all about it, and immediately send someone to contact them and start handling this matter! ”

"Hay!"

Just when Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace was in a hurry and was about to send someone to negotiate with Bai Fei, Bai Fei, who was far away in Lu'an, welcomed a guest.

After Bai Fei learned the name of the person who came, he hurriedly went out and saw a middle-aged man about forty years old standing outside. He was dressed in a military uniform, with a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face. Behind him, to the left and right, there were about two dozen guards.

Bai Fei was far away, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I said that when I got up this morning, I heard a magpie crying outside the window, and it turned out that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door!" Captain Ye, look up for a long time! I've heard of your name for a long time, and I'm lucky to meet Sansheng today. ”

The man laughed: "Brother Bai, although I, Ye Ting, have never met you before, but I have been friends for a long time, and I have heard your deeds like thunder, I thought you were only good at fighting, but I didn't expect this mouth to be so good at talking, amazing, amazing!" Hahaha..."
