Chapter 119: Good Wine, Good Food, Good Hospitality

There is a way that two flowers bloom and one for each table, when Chang Zhenbang is marrying a daughter-in-law and holding a charity party, Zhou Defa is not idle, after all, he committed public anger, aroused military anger, and caused a rebellion, where do you dare to return to De'an? Ma Yu hid somewhere else to recuperate for a few days, don't you say that Jiujiang is full of water, mountains and forests, Qian De was stunned that he didn't find him, and after two or three days passed, he saw that the wind was not tight, and then he took the remnants down the mountain, and went straight to Duchang by bypassing De'an in embarrassment.

When hiding from Qian Defa's pursuit in the dense forest on the mountain, Zhou Defa thought for a long time, considering that he has now become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats the situation, there is no one on the ground in Jiangxi who can provide sufficient security for these remnants such as him, and he still chose to defect to the Second Army in Central China, after all, both of them have worked together in the First Army, and the two have gotten along all the way to a tacit understanding, and there has been no discord, in the eyes of outsiders, it is like a bunch of New Year's friends, even if the times have changed, Tang Baichuan is inevitably good, there is still a friendship with colleagues, and it is not difficult for him to take them back to Central China together.

After making up his mind, three days have passed on the night of De'an, Zhou Defa arrived at the Second Army non-stop, and the scene he was most afraid of did not appear, the First Army of Central China and the Second Army of Central China did not turn, they were still stationed separately, waiting for Bi Zehua's military order, and now the officers and soldiers of the Central China Army have realized that it is not realistic to rely on these two lone troops to take Jiujiang.

"What people!"

When the remnants of Zhou Defa appeared outside the camp of the Second Army in Central China, they were immediately discovered by the sentries on duty and fired warning shots. This scene had to surprise Zhou Defa, when did the Second Army in Central China become so heavily guarded? However, it is not without benefit that the Second Army is heavily guarded, at least it can provide him with enough security warnings, even if those traitors in the First Army know that he is in the Second Army, they will not dare to rush to him.

"Hurry up and tell Division Commander Tang, Division Commander Zhou Defa of the First Bandit Army in Central China asks to see you!" Zhou Defa's subordinates hurriedly ran to the front and shouted.

"Be honest with me! Those who dare to approach will be killed on the spot! After the sentinel had finished speaking, he sent a soldier to the inside to give a message, and in a short time many heavily armed soldiers poured out of the large camp, and the tower of the large camp was ready to attack.

Zhou Defa couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself what Tang Baichuan meant by this? Is it possible to treat the old man as a thief? After all the soldiers poured out, they separated into two columns and hugged a beautiful son, Zhou Defa looked at it, who was this person Tang Baichuan? I didn't expect this kid to see him for a few days, his ability didn't grow much, and the shelf was not small, but it was a good thing that he was willing to come out, the so-called people had to bow their heads under the eaves, give him some face, and it was not a big deal to change his own safety.

Tang Baichuan saw Zhou Defa at a glance surrounded by soldiers, and couldn't help but stretch his brows, he waved his hand happily and said, "Lord Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to be harmless?" ”

Zhou Defa also strode over with the remnants and said, "Chief of Staff Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are becoming more and more proud." It's much stronger than the old brother. ”

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly, invited Zhou Defa and the other officers and soldiers in, and asked the gang to open fire, prepare hot meals and hot dishes to take care of these brothers of the First Army, these soldiers think about how they have lived these days, like rats crossing the street, hiding in Tibet, there is no hot food and hot water, and finally when they get here, they finally have a hot mouth to eat and drink, how can they not be moved and leave tears.

Ordinary lower-level officers and soldiers have hot soup and rice, but senior officers like Zhou Defa are not in a hurry to eat, but let people boil water and take a bath, tidy up their appearance, and finally recover a little bit of vigor before pouring into Tang Baichuan's Chinese army tent to enjoy the good wine and good food that has been prepared long ago, who knows that these people found nothing after entering the Chinese army tent, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, complaining that Tang Baichuan was too good at doing things, Zhou Defa listened, but said lightly: "It's good that people are willing to entertain us, so don't pick and choose, Think about what you would do if you changed to Don Jr.? I'm afraid that I can't bear to use hot water! ”

Wu Qi said embarrassedly: "My lord, you're joking, what's the hot water is there!" ”

Zhou Defa snorted coldly, sat down on the guest seat, and said: "Sit down for Lao Tzu, Xiao Tang will come later, don't lose your identity to Lao Tzu!" We can't get the power of the tiger down! ”

Zhao Yazhi said bitterly: "It's still Lord Zhou's idea!" But I think that Xiao Tang is just a white-faced scholar, when we fought with Chang Zhenbang's traitor, it is said that he also attacked Jiujiang, but after being repelled by Zhang Youhua's department, he stopped moving, and it was a pity to hand over the second army to Xiao Tang. ”

Wu Qi heard this, and couldn't help but mock: "Now that we eat other people's and use other people's, you still want to kill others, you really don't have the slightest conscience, no wonder those rebels of the First Army have been deceived by you pretending to be dead." ”

Zhao Yazhi retorted: "Where can people compare to General Wu Qi, pretending to be a cripple and begging all the way, this kind of way of living, people can't play!" ”

"You!" Wu Qi was furious, and he was about to hit Zhao Yazhi with his fist.

Zhou Defa said angrily: "When has this been, you are still fighting in the nest, it is really ridiculous!" After seeing Wu Qi withdraw his fist like wilting a chick, he turned to Zhao Yazhi and said: "Xiao Tang has no ability, but after all, he is the son-in-law of Bi Zehua's old thing, whether he loves it or not, it's really true!" If we kill him, we won't be able to go back to Central China, and although the world is big, there is no place for us. At that time, we really called the heavens and the earth to be spiritual. ”

Zhao Yazhi said: "My lord's words are serious, this etiquette and honesty are still understood!" They were just joking! Ha ha. ”

At this time, the curtain of the camp was lifted, and Tang Baichuan came in with a smile and said, "What are you talking about, so happy?" ”

Zhao Yazhi hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that I remembered the appearance of Lord Wu Qi pretending to be a kidnapper and begging, and I couldn't help but laugh." Do you say, Lord Wu Qi? ”

Wu Qi was furious, he didn't expect Zhao Yazhi to be so pickled, he really wanted to kill this fake girl with one punch, but when it was really Zhou Defa and Tang Baichuan's face, he still held back the anger in his chest, and said: "It's such a thing for a while, Lord Tang, don't hide it, the brothers are trekking all the way, this stomach is inevitably a little hungry, do you see if it's ......"

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly and said, "I understand, the wine and food are ready, I will send them to a few adults!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and suddenly a lot of dark shadows appeared around the tent. Then there was a bang and the camp tent was cut, and the soldiers appeared behind Wu Qi, Zhao Yazhi, Zhou Defa and others.

Zhou Defa was shocked: "Xiao Tang, what's going on?" After speaking, the soldier behind him slashed down his neck with a dagger, blood was pouring out, splashing everywhere, Zhou Defa covered the wound on his neck, his face was full of surprise, and he fell down with anger, and he couldn't look at death.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Yazhi, Wu Qi and others were also killed by slitting their throats and bleeding, and the blood stained the entire camp tent red for a while.

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly, came to Zhou Defa, slowly squatted down and said: "Old general, no one knows that you have been here tonight, and no one knows that you are dead, if you want to blame it, you don't see that I Tang Baichuan has long been in the same breath as Chang Zhenbang." Saying that, he stretched out his hand and slowly closed his eyes for Zhou Defa, and then rode a fast horse with a wooden box and galloped into Jiujiang City, and the next day Zhou Defa's good head was hung out on the city gate of Jiujiang. For a while, Chang Zhenbang's military power was greatly shaken, which greatly shook Jiangxi and Central China, no one coveted Jiujiang City in a short period of time, and also let Chang Zhenbang sit firmly in the position of the envoy of Jiujiang Town, Zhang Jifei received the news, immediately opened a porridge shed on the most prosperous Dazhong Road in Jiujiang City to relieve refugees, and opened a recruitment point on the side of the porridge shed, foreigners knew, and expressed high praise and recognition for the follow-up work of Chang Zhenbang's fundraising activities, Chang Zhenbang's reputation in Jiujiang City has developed from fame to now, and he is praised and famous. For this, Lu Xiaozhu was tortured by Chang Zhenbang for another night.

In view of the loss of troops and the loss of troops and the current situation of the first bandit army in Central China and the second bandit army in Central China, Bi Zehua had to telegraph that they quickly returned to Central China, and at the same time I don't know if Lao Maozi was behind the back, Bi Zehua not only handed over the first bandit army in Central China to Qian Defa with a clear telegram, and appointed him as the guard of southern Henan to take over Zhou Defa's defense in Central China, Wang Tianzhen was promoted to a higher level, and followed Qian Defa to take office in southern Henan, but Li Zhizhong was found by Bi Zehua to be unfavorable to lead the army from the beginning to the end, Fortunately, Tang Baichuan was willing to maneuver for him, hoping to accept him into the Second Army in Central China, but Bi Zehua did not agree, but only allowed Li Zhizhong to be transferred to the Wenxian garrison in the name of acting regiment commander.

As for the treatment of these two bandit armies that returned to Central China, they were also different, hesitating a series of battle losses, the First Army is now full of only a little more than one brigade, Bi Zehua simply pushed the boat down the river, and reorganized the First Army into the Sixth Brigade in Central China and allocated it to Qian Defa.

As for the Second Army, which had only double-digit casualties, as soon as it entered Zhumadian, it received a telegram from Bi Zehua informing that the regimental commanders and battalion commanders had returned to their pre-war state and returned to their respective garrisons. Tang Baichuan is not here, naturally it doesn't matter whether he is happy or not, this attitude of not being greedy for authority makes Bi Zehua appreciate it very much, and he feels that he has finally put on a chew on this thousand-mile horse, and he can be born and die for his old Bi family, but Bi Jinjian suddenly disappeared for a few months, which still made Bi Zehua feel sad for a while, but this child has a benefit, that is, he will come back when the money is gone. So it's not that I'm not worried about him, as for Liu San, it doesn't matter, it's just a beautiful girl, Huazhong has, Luoyin has!
