Faced with Liu Wenzhi's questioning, Sun Yumin was speechless for a while, and when he was stunned, suddenly a female voice came from the door of the inner room: "No matter what Yumin is thinking in his heart, what is his plan?" I'm not going to ask him that. I am a woman, and you are his closest brother, if you don't trust him, then why gather around him? Or with him at the core? ”

It was Chen Lai who spoke, her clothes were still draped, her hair was a little messy, and she was followed by a little girl who was also sleepy-eyed, obviously both of them were woken up by the quarrel here.

Her words made the entire room bow their heads in shame, including Liu Wenzhi, who was still arrogant before. She was right, if she didn't trust the boss, why did she gather around him? But do you really don't trust him? No! For Sun Yumin, everyone is 100% trusted, there is no doubt about it! So why did no one stand up and speak for Liu Wenzhi when he was "forcing the palace"? Except for Chen Lai, a little woman, and Silly Bear, a loyal fan who follows firmly regardless of right or wrong, no one has said a word or two, why is this?

"Xiao Lai, you can't say that about brothers, it's not them who are at fault, it's me!"

Sun Yumin did not continue to question Chen Lai's words, but stopped her from continuing to speak, seeing that her face changed slightly, Sun Yumin explained: "My brothers trust and support me very much, tonight's incident is just a question that everyone has piled up in their hearts over the years, and it has reached a critical point of outbreak." I know what's on your mind? I also want to take this opportunity to get a real picture with you! ”

As soon as Sun Yumin's words came out, everyone who had already bowed their heads raised their heads one after another, and their eyes were all fixed on Sun Yumin, wanting to hear his next words.

"Brothers, I have a question for you. If one day I take you away again, will you still be willing? ”

"Yes!" The first voice came from Silly Bear, and then it was Chen Lai and the little girl who spoke, followed by Gu Hongying, she was silent for a while, no one spoke, until Lin Yuanping took the lead in breaking this silence, he said: "No matter where you go, even if you go to be a bandit, I am willing to follow you!" After he made this statement, he followed Dong Wenbin, Deng Dongping, and Zhang Xiaohu and they all echoed it.

For a while, the room was full of "I'm willing to follow!" "Count me in!"

Almost all the people expressed their positions, including Wang Heng and Shi Zhonghua, who said that they were willing to follow, except for one person, only he looked at Sun Yumin coldly, and this person was exactly Liu Wenzhi, whom Sun Yumin valued the most!

"Okay, since you all agree, then I'll make a deal with you." When Sun Yumin said this, he paused, pointed at Liu Wenzhi and said, "You can listen well." ”

Sun Yumin's words in exchange for Liu Wenzhi's cold "hum"! However, this did not make Sun Yumin angry, he smiled and continued: "Wen Zhi said so much before, and I also said a lot, in fact, the words of the two of us are not much different, and in the end they all mean the same thing, that is, the national government in front of us is terminally ill, and the national government has rotted to the roots, and it is no longer worth us to throw our heads and blood for it." After Liu Wenzhi finished saying these words, he stopped, looked at all the people, and finally looked at Liu Wenzhi's face, and then said: "But can this be a reason for us to abandon this country and its people? No! We are not fighting for the country, nor are we fighting for the national government, the reason why we want to fight to the death with the devils is only because they invaded our land, killed our relatives, and robbed us of the resources for survival. We are fighting for this country, and we are fighting for the people of this country. ”

"Wenzhi, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are deeply loved and supported by the people is precisely because what they do is to fight for the country and the people. Now do you still think that our Twelfth Army, and these brothers of yours, are stupid people who eat the past and just want to be promoted and get rich? ”

In the past, it was Liu Wenzhi who was "forcing the palace" Sun Yumin, but now it is Sun Yumin who is questioning him, facing the questioning, Liu Wenzhi was speechless to answer, he already knew that he would not be able to say Sun Yumin, but he didn't expect to be "defeated" like this.

"Wen Zhi, I also know that the Communist Party is the people's party, and I also know that the army under their leadership is sincere for the people, and I also want to take you and the 12th Army to join it, and I even took some actions for this goal." Speaking of this, Sun Yumin said to Lin Yuanping: "Go and invite Director Zhao." ”

The Director Zhao in Sun Yumin's mouth is Zhao Lei, although he trusts him very much, but in order to hide people's eyes, Sun Yumin usually keeps a certain distance from him, and he will not let him participate in such a party. Unexpectedly, Liu Wenzhi suddenly "forced the palace" and put Sun Yumin on the fire to roast, and just happened to have such an opportunity to tell the brothers his true thoughts, and also arranged the retreat of the brothers.

Zhao Lei was quickly called over, facing a room of division commanders and extremely close people around Sun Yumin, although he was stunned for a moment, he quickly understood Sun Yumin's intention to call him.

"Wen Zhi, this is Zhao Lei, director of the Political Department of the Twelfth Army." Sun Yumin first introduced Zhao Lei to Liu Wenzhi, and then introduced Liu Wenzhi to Zhao Lei: "Director Zhao, this is Liu Wenzhi, the deputy commander who has not yet arrived. ”

"Hello Deputy Army Commander Liu, it's a great honor to meet you." Zhao Lei had heard of Liu Wenzhi and knew that he was Sun Yumin's most trusted subordinate in the past, and he was also his right-hand man. At that time, when the organization asked him to come to the Twelfth Army, he had already done his "homework", not only familiar with Sun Yumin's resume, but also the people around him were clear.

"Hello!" Liu Wenzhi didn't understand what Sun Yumin meant by calling a stranger, so he responded out of courtesy, and was about to ask, but he heard Sun Yumin's voice.

"Wen Zhi, you can now say what the commander of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army XHD asked you to bring!"

When Sun Yumin said this in front of a stranger, Liu Wenzhi's heart contracted violently on the spot, but when he saw Zhao Lei first stunned and then immediately regained his smile, he suddenly seemed to understand something!

"Can I say that?" Although Liu Wenzhi can now be sure that this room is full of people trusted by Sun Yumin, he still asked.

"Yes, you can say it boldly." Sun Yumin replied very crisply, without any ambiguity, which made Liu Wenzhi take a reassuring pill, and when he watched him even sit on the stool, Liu Wenzhi was even more relieved.

"Commander X asked me to tell you that the New Fourth Army is very grateful to you for the equipment of this regiment you supported, and I am also very grateful for your support for the New Fourth Army after it has encountered a strange injustice through the ages, and the New Fourth Army will be your forever friend!"

"That's it? Gone? Sun Yumin knew that Liu Wenzhi's trip must have brought more than this painless thanks, so he deliberately asked out loud.

"And ...... And ......"

"You don't have to say anything, just say it." Sun Yumin's tone was full of encouragement, and his eyes were full of support for him.

"Commander XHD said that he was entrusted by the commander of the New Fourth Army C and sincerely invited you to join the New Fourth Army with all the brothers!"

Airplanes......

In the originally quiet room, after Liu Wenzhi's words came out, it was immediately like a fried pot, and everyone started to talk about it, including Chen Lai and the little girl, who were originally standing by the door frame of the inner room, both of them nervously walked to Sun Yumin's side, and a woman on one side, four small cold little hands were all grabbed on his arm.

"I said Wenzhi, are you crazy about losing your mind? That's why you're mad at the commander tonight, right? What benefits did the New Fourth Army give you to speak for them so much? Silly Bear's broken gong voice was the first to shout.

"Wenzhi, how can you talk nonsense like this? New fourth army? Can it be compared to our 12th Army? This sentence was said by Deng Dongping, and he didn't speak much all night, first drinking, and then listening to the quarrel between Sun Yumin and Liu Wenzhi. He is different from Silly Bear, what he wants to say is only exported after turning his head, although from Sun Yumin's previous words, as well as his care and help for the Communist Party members all the time, as well as his friendly concern for the New Fourth Army, and even risking the big disapproval to give a large number of weapons and equipment, etc., this military seat is not excluded from going there. If it was before, Deng Dongping would unswervingly stand behind Sun Yumin to support, but now it is not what it used to be, he is no longer the small regiment commander of the year, nor is he the slightly immature division commander, now he is the commander of the first army with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but the seat of the main force of the national army's ace, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment or the number of troops, it is not comparable to the newly rebuilt New Fourth Army, as the chief of staff, he needs to remind and remind.

Liu Wenzhi also expected that the brothers would react greatly, but when this scene appeared in front of him, he was still shocked. originally thought that most of these brothers would have the same idea as themselves, even if it would not be all of them, more than half of them would definitely have it, but I didn't expect that the situation in reality was like this, not only did no one speak out to support him, but even Deng Dongping, who was closest to him before, spoke out against it.

Facing the questioning, Liu Wenzhi felt that his heart was cold at this moment, he could swear to God, everything he thought and did was thinking for his brothers, and he himself had no selfish thoughts. In the past, he may have said that he had this or that idea, but since he followed Sun Yumin to live at the foot of Dabie Mountain, especially with Gu Hongying, those young and frivolous thoughts have long been gone, and all that remains is to live well, live well with his lovers and his brothers, and no longer go to the troubled waters of the "national army". During the period of contact with the New Fourth Army, what he saw and learned undoubtedly did not make his already calm heart ripple again, so this trip to Xiangbei will have this scene. He Liu Wenzhi didn't want to "sell" everyone's thoughts, and some just thought about the brothers, but in exchange for the accusation of Heng Mei and cold, how could this not make him feel cold in his heart. Suddenly, Liu Wenzhi thought of Sun Yumin, and thought of the accusation he made against him just now, how could it not make him feel cold? If he is thinking about his brothers, then does he need to say it? This eldest brother regards the lives of his brothers as more important than his own lives, his distress when Zhou Hong sacrificed in the Guanghuamen position, seeing that the stupid bear is about to follow in Zhou Hong's footsteps, he resolutely rushed out of the past, and there are many countless examples, isn't it just to prove that the eldest brother cares more about the brothers than himself? Now that he has just been questioned, he is already cold, so he has been questioned and reprimanded by himself for so long, isn't he even more disappointed in his heart?

He raised his head and looked over, wanting to see the boss's expression, but he didn't expect that when he looked at it, he was still greeted by the smiling face that made him comfortable, although this smile was not as familiar as before, but the scar on the left side of his face made him feel particularly reassuring!

"Quiet, give me all peace."

Sun Yumin's voice was not loud, but the effect was obvious, and the brothers who were originally talking to each other or talking loudly, as well as the stupid bear and Deng Dongping who were reprimanding Liu Wenzhi, all quieted down. Chen Lai and the little girl were still holding Sun Yumin's arm with their hands, as if they were afraid that he would run away, but they were actually worried about him and concerned about him. And Gu Hongying is the same, she reached out and held Liu Wenzhi's hand tightly, not only to comfort him, but also to explain to him that no matter what, she will stand side by side with him.

"Are you done?" Sun Yumin was asking Liu Wenzhi, but he didn't wait for him to reply, so he continued: "Whether you finish talking or not, stop first and listen to Zhao Lei's words." When he said this, he pointed to Deng Dongping and Silly Bear again, and said, "You two too!" ”

"Gunza, what do you want me to say?" Zhao Lei knew what Sun Yumin asked him to say, but he still deliberately asked, this was his careful thinking, after all, all the people here were the backbone of the Twelfth Army, although he was the director of the Military Political Department, but in the eyes of these people, he was nothing at all.

"Say who you are, say your mission, say everything over there!"

As soon as Sun Yumin's words came out, the room exploded with a "buzz", and the word "over there" and "identity" and "task" in his words were enough to explain everything.

Different from other people's reactions, Liu Wenzhi was particularly surprised, but this surprise was not shown on his face, but was concealed in his heart, but when he heard Sun Yumin's words, his whole body still trembled slightly, Gu Hongying, who was holding his hand, must have felt it, smiled at him, and even strengthened the hand holding him.

"All of you here are the divisional-level and regimental-level commanders of our 12th Army, and they are also the backbone of our 12th Army, and they are also indispensable people around the military seat. I don't know why the military seat called me over in the middle of the night, or why the military seat suddenly asked me to reveal my true identity, but since the military seat said so, then I would definitely say it. Zhao Lei was very frank and calm, and his usual style and style had hardly changed, he said word by word, slowly but sonorously: "Now it is necessary to re-acquaint myself with everyone, my name is Zhao Lei, nominally the director of the Political Department of the Twelfth Army, but in fact I am a communist, I am from the northwest!" ”
