When Zhuang Jihua received Hu Ying in Xingyuan, the staff officers of the garrison headquarters came to the headquarters of the Second Brigade outside Kunming to convey Ran Ruiju's order, and asked Long Shenzu to report to the garrison headquarters immediately and discuss important matters.

But the staff officer did not see Long Shenzu, the order was conveyed to the chief of staff Long Handou, and after the staff officer left, Long Handou turned around and rode out of the barracks, and after the jeep walked south for more than 20 miles, he turned into a manor shaded by green trees, the gate of the manor was closed, Long Handou got out of the car and knocked on the door, and the people inside looked at the lookout before opening the gate.

The jeep drove towards the village, and from time to time there were flashes of heavily armed soldiers in the shade of the trees along the way, and the further they went, the fewer the soldiers, but the more people wore Yi civilian clothes. In front of the small red and white building, the jeep stopped abruptly, Long Handou jumped out of the car, walked directly to the building, and was stopped by a Zhongshan suit at the door.

"Please inform the old chairman and the second son, there are military affairs." Long Handou said politely.

Before the tunic turned around, a voice came from inside the building: "Let him in." With this sound, the tunic let go of his body, Long Handou pushed the door in, in the side hall of the small building, Long Yun and Long Rope Ancestor were sitting face to face, Long Yun looked very calm, but there was a slight worry between Long Rope Ancestor's eyebrows, even if he tried his best to hide it, it also made Long Handou see it at a glance.

"Old chairman, did you rest well last night?" Long Handou greeted Long Yun first, he was personally raised by Long Yun, and when Long Yun was in charge of Yunnan, he served as the commander of the Reading Battalion, and this unit was also one of Long Yun's guards.

"Okay, I'm back, everything is fine." Long Yun's voice was still loud, and the pipe in his hand was emitting green smoke: "What's the matter, I want you, the chief of staff, to go on a trip personally?" ”

"Someone from the garrison headquarters, please invite the second son to the headquarters to attend the meeting." Long Handou said: "I didn't dare to call, so I thought I would run by myself." ”

Long Yun understood that this was worried about the phone being tapped, this escape from Yucheng was carefully planned, since last year, he has been sick from time to time, and he does not invite Western doctors, only invites traditional Chinese medicine from Yunnan, and it takes ten days and a half a month to stay in bed every time, and after people have formed habits, he found an opportunity to take advantage of the turmoil caused by Wang Jingwei's departure, and took out of Yucheng, and now his wife and cronies and adjutant are still in Yucheng with several daughters.

"What the hell is it?" Long Yun asked solemnly, he only planned to stay in Kunming for three days, and now that two days have passed, he will go to Mengzi's eldest son Long Shenwu tomorrow. Through these two days of understanding, he learned that the achievements of Long Shenwu in southern Yunnan far exceeded his original expectations, and the troops not only grew stronger, but also controlled more than half of the security regiments in southern Yunnan, and also obtained a large number of weapons and ammunition, and the equipment had far exceeded that of the original guard regiment and guard brigade.

In addition to the dragon rope martial arts in southern Yunnan, the dragon rope ancestor also did a very good job, the second brigade was full of more than 6,000 people, the officers were all from the old Yunnan army, and Yang Yunxin's instructor also had 18,000 people, the two combined, the strength far exceeded the Yunnan army under him back then, and he even thought that if he had such an army under his command back then, he could completely defeat Zhuang Jihua.

"It is said that the front wants new recruits, and the matter of the transfer of recruits is discussed, and the issue of recruiting the next batch of recruits is also discussed." Long Handou replied.

Long Yunteng stood up: "Recruit transfer? This is not good, absolutely not, second child, you go and tell him, just say that the recruits have not been trained yet. ”

Long Rope Ancestor agreed, got up and left, just arrived at the door, "Wait." Long Rope Ancestor stood and turned his head to look at him: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"How were recruits transferred before? Do you want to discuss? Long Yun asked.

"Sometimes it is wanted, sometimes it is not," replied Long Shenzu, "the transfer of recruits, sometimes the whole division, sometimes one or two brigades, it depends mainly on how much is needed above; When transferring that brigade, the commander of that brigade will go to the garrison headquarters to discuss the specific measures and accept the next batch of recruits. Dad, our recruits are mainly for Commander Lu's 58th Army. ”

Long Yun frowned and thought for a moment, but still shook his head cautiously: "Zhuang Jihua is scheming, he can't be fooled by him, the second child will call Yang Yunxin first and ask him if he knows about it." ”

Long Rope Ancestor was a little impatient, he said irritably: "Dad, this is a common thing, there is nothing strange, Master Yang will definitely go." ”

"As soon as Zhuang Wenge came back yesterday, he held a meeting with the provincial political axe, and it is likely that he noticed something." Long Yun shook his head and said.

"Dad, I told you all night last night, I don't approve of joining forces with Wang Jingwei, we are really going to run out of blood, and there will be no hope in the future." Dragon Rope Ancestor shook his head and said.

In the past two days, Long Yun secretly summoned Yang Yunxin and other left-behind generals of the Yunnan army, and in the conversation with them, Long Yun repeatedly reiterated that Yunnan is the Yunnan of the Yunnan people, and asked them to remember the battle of the year and take revenge. Then he began to preach the peace movement, believing that as long as he withdrew his troops, he could negotiate peace with him, eliminate the scourge of war, and restore peace to the people.

However, when it came to the peace talks, Yang Yunxin did not open his mouth, only Long Shenzu directly spoke out against it, saying that now there is a strong atmosphere of resistance in the whole army, and many of these recruits have taken the initiative to join the army under the inspiration of the resistance, and once the peace talks are announced, the morale of the army will surely collapse, and the central government will raise the banner of counterinsurgency again, and the army will collapse without a fight, and the hard work of several years will be in vain.

In the end, Long Yun lost his temper, Yang Yunxin and Long Shenzu had to agree, but after Yang Yunxin and they went out, Long Shenzu stayed to discuss with Long Yun, Long Shenzu reiterated his point of view, and then analyzed the current attitude of the generals of the Yunnan Army to Long Yun.

"Commander Lu led our Yunnan army soldiers to fight on the front line, once we negotiate peace, Commander Lu is afraid that he will have to telegraph against it, in addition, with our troops, it is difficult to conquer Kunming, Zhuang Jihua still has an army in Guizhou, and there are tens of thousands of troops in western Yunnan. Father, if you think about it, we are invincible. ”

"Who said I was going to attack Kunming?" Long Yun shouted: "We only have a foothold in southern Yunnan, force Chiang Kai-shek to go into the wilderness, and support Chairman Wang to come back and preside over peace." ”

"What if, Chiang Kai-shek doesn't go into the wilderness?" Long Rope Ancestor asked unceremoniously.

"When the time comes, the whole country will respond, and he won't be able to go into the wilderness!" Long Yun's anger was very strong, and his confidence was very high, and his eyes behind the lenses were shining: "Everything has been planned, you can rest assured, Yunnan will soon return to our hands." ”

After arguing all night, Long Shenzu couldn't convince Long Yun at all, and finally had to back down in front of the old man, but Long Yun was also worried, the attitude of these old subordinates was different from what he originally thought, he decided to talk to them again, try to persuade them, whether it is successful or not, they must go to southern Yunnan and discuss the next plan of action with the eldest son.

But early this morning, he didn't wait for Yang Yunxin, but waited for the order of the garrison headquarters, which made him a little anxious, he didn't know if Yucheng was exposed, and Zhuang Jihua began to take action.

Long Chengzu called the division headquarters, and the division headquarters was answered by Yin Jiazhou, the chief of staff, and Yin Jiazhou told him that Yang Yunxin had gone to the garrison headquarters early in the morning to discuss the transfer of new soldiers.

Putting down the phone, Long Shenzu looked at Long Yun, and Long Yun was silent for a while before saying, "You go, if you don't come back at night, it means that something is wrong, let Han Dou control the troops." ”

"Understood." Long Shenzu turned around and went out, and after getting into the car, Long Handou asked, "The old chairman is determined to start?" ”

Long Rope Ancestor looked at the front blankly, did not answer, and asked after a while: "Did the eldest brother call back?" ”

"Nope." Long Handou shook his head and said, he opened his mouth, and finally just sighed heavily.

Long Rope Ancestor also sighed: "Han Dou, what do you think?" ”

"Anti-Chiang, I am in favor, peace talks, I am against." Long Handou replied simply: "When I went back yesterday, I touched the bottom of the bottom, and the three regiment commanders did not approve of the peace talks, Hu Xiaobing and Liao Kai had a very fierce attitude, and openly proposed that whoever talks with him will be beaten." I don't dare to say this to the old chairman, I think the old chairman was stunned by Wang Jingwei's [***] soup. ”

"Dad was not stunned by Wang Jingwei's [***] soup, but he never looked away, and he was haunted by what happened back then." Long Rope Ancestor still knows his father very well, and before Long Handou went back yesterday, Long Rope Ancestor confessed, reported this matter to Long Rope Wu in detail, and asked for his opinion, but he didn't expect that a night had passed, and he didn't have any news.

"What should I do if my eldest brother decides to do it?" The Dragon Rope Ancestor was very embarrassed.

"Go directly to the city, or go back to the brigade headquarters first?" Long Handou asked.

"Go back to the brigade headquarters first, and you can't go to the meeting empty-handed." Long Shenzu's mood was low, the jeep stopped at the brigade headquarters, and Shi Jingrong, the chief of the operations section, came over and reported in a low voice that Long Shenzu had called, and he had already led the officers above the regimental level of the Southern Yunnan Garrison Command to Kunming.

Long Rope Ancestor was shocked: "Big brother, what are you going to do?" How did you bring so many people? ”

"I don't know, the eldest prince didn't say it." Shi Jingrong replied.

After seeing Long Shenzu leave, Long Yun stayed in the building for a while, felt a little dull, and went to the courtyard to spread, since the announcement of support for the peace movement, the resistance of his subordinates, he is not unclear, but he still believes in his prestige in the Dian army, and in the end they still follow him.

Before noon, Long Yun was preparing to have a meal, the adjutant came to report, Hu Ying came to ask to see, Long Yun was very happy, and personally went to the door to greet Hu Ying.

"Old Hu, it's better to come early than to come coincidentally, I'm about to start a meal, eat together, eat together." Long Yun said with a smile.

Hu Ying smiled reluctantly, but her eyebrows were full of sorrow, with the support of Long Yun, she walked to the dining table, looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and finally smiled slightly: "Zhizhou, it's still so simple." ”

"Bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and add two more dishes," Long Yun explained to the guard next to him, turned around and sat down, Hu Ying sat next to him.

Long Yun had met Hu Ying yesterday, but he didn't reveal all the plans to Hu Ying, just said that he had enough time in Yucheng and wanted to go back to Yunnan to have a look and stay for a few days. Hu Ying didn't believe that Long Yun just came back to take a look, and after attending the provincial political axe meeting last night, she immediately linked Long Yun's return with Wang Jingwei's departure, and secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good.
