The stubborn curtain came, and the courtyard of the Hu family was bright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info very lively. More than 20 tables three, February around the high friends full of seats, the town of celebrities, relatives and friends of ten miles and eight townships and martial arts colleagues came to the door to congratulate the joy, first, Xu in the early years of the martial arts Liu Lao boxer pointed to An Yi's chief of the guard Lin Yaodong and said:

"This little brother from the south has almost bought all the goods from the only four shops in the town, so that everyone can't even buy congratulatory gifts."

During the banquet, there were bursts of laughter, Hu Jialin, who changed into a straight military uniform, toasted and thanked the seniors and relatives and friends one by one, and when it was time to be happy, the chief of staff who was called out by the adjutant returned to An Yi's side and whispered in An Yi's ear:

"In the evening, the Anjin detachment was in the area of the Jade Emperor Temple, 17 kilometers northwest, and there were as many as 3,000 cavalry troops of the Zhilu Army.

At noon, Uncle De also sent us a telegram from General Lu Zhonglin, the former commander-in-chief of the Second Army, asking us to immediately surround and block this group of cavalry, and make concerted efforts to annihilate the remnants of the enemy, it is estimated that they are them. ”

An Yi suddenly had a premonition in his heart, feeling that this was likely to be the cavalry led by Zhang Chengzhu, for more than a month, An Yi continued to inquire about Zhang Chengzhu's whereabouts, and learned from the prisoner's statement that Zhang Chengzhu still served as the commander of the major general of the Zhilu Army, and the troops under his command were one of the three most elite cavalry brigades under Zhang Zongchang, but he had not been able to figure out Zhang Chengzhu's combat direction.

Now, the commander of the Zhilu Army of the First Group Army's attack is the old opponent Chu Yupu, half of the descendants of Zhang Zongchang are in Jiaodong, and half are north of Baoding, An Yi thought that Zhang Chengzhu might retreat to Jiaodong, and when he heard the news, his heart moved, and he whispered to Lu Guang:

"The order is really to send all the detachments of the special brigade, you work hard, immediately assemble the team and march quickly, block the west and southwest directions, build a blockade line, and then send a telegram to Uncle De, let General Chen Mian's two divisions stationed in Jiangtun in the west of Cangzhou City immediately cooperate with us, and seal off the Shangyuan and high-ranking officials in the north and northeast, the enemy will never dare to flee east, and the strategy of encircling but not attacking can reduce unnecessary casualties, it is best to let the special brigade quietly grab a tongue or two and ask which part it is, and then put people back, Tell them that their commander has been surrounded by our army, and that tomorrow morning they are forced to surrender. ”

"Yes!"

The assembly whistle from the east, west, and north directions of the town made the lively Hu family compound quiet down instantly, and the villagers were very surprised to see that more than 30 generals around them immediately put down their wine glasses and left, Hu Jialin hurriedly apologized to relatives and friends, and returned to the main table to ask An Yi in a low voice.

An Yi smiled lightly: "It's not a big deal, Cangzhou called, let my department cooperate with the press, so let Cheng Guang lead the brothers to take a trip, nothing to do with us, you tell the villagers not to worry, just treat it as a night practice, continue to drink" Uncle, second uncle, elders, little nephew to the elders another drink!" ”

"Good, drink! You're welcome" Everyone saw that An Yi and Hu Jialin had no intention of leaving, and heard Hu Jialin explain that they practiced at night, so they relaxed and raised their glasses frequently.

Father Hu put down his wine glass and smiled at An Yi: "Virtuous nephew, there is something that you have to ask for the opinion of the virtuous nephew first, a few of our old guys discussed it and decided to let your eldest brother Lin handle the marriage the day after tomorrow, what does the virtuous nephew think?" ”

An Yi happily glanced at Hu Jialin, who was sitting on the net, and said approvingly to Hu Jialin's uncle and father: "This is a good thing!" The little nephew completely agrees, this time I must let the five thousand brothers congratulate my eldest brother and have a good drink, but I don't know if I can make a new house? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Hu Jialin's uncle was so happy: "Virtuous nephew, you are all Xiaolinzi's brothers, and you are all junior uncles according to generation, of course you can make a new house, haha!" Tomorrow, I will ask the descendants in the town to take the invitation card and inform relatives and friends from all over the country and the martial arts colleagues inside and outside Cangzhou City that the marriage must be done in a prosperous and lively manner. ”

Hu Jialin's junior brother Li Cunzhuang stood aside and said worriedly: "If this is the case, I'm afraid I will have to buy pigs and cattle and sheep from the surrounding villages tonight, otherwise the banquet will be difficult." ”

"There are still a lot of sheep, but pigs and cattle are difficult to get, and now that the army is stationed in Cangzhou, the surrounding merchants are afraid that they have already sold these things to Cangzhou." Old Boxer Liu twisted his five willow long beards and said unhurriedly.

An Yi thought for a while and turned his head, and called Changchun Sheng, the logistics unit at the next table, over: "I'll write a letter later, tomorrow you take the letter and take your brothers to the Cangzhou camp, go to the former enemy headquarters to find Uncle De, and ask the logistics staff of the headquarters to help buy some cattle, sheep and pigs back, and you can also buy more other things for marriage, the Cangzhou camp has more than forty big trucks captured all the way, and they will help you transport things back." You go back and tell the brothers by the way, the day after tomorrow to drink Brother Hu's wedding wine together, this is a great joy for our independent teacher, everyone who can come! ”

"Yes! The subordinates will do their best. Chunsheng replied with a fluttering eyebrow.

The old and young of the Hu family were overjoyed to see this major matter solved, Hu's father picked up the wine glass and thanked An Yi, An Yi said no thanks, this money will be paid by my brother Hu Fu himself in the end, Hu Jialin hurriedly nodded yes.

Uncle asked in surprise: Xiaolinzi, how much money have you saved over the years? ”

Hu Jialin hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "Lin Er has only saved some money in the past two years, and the sum of the salary and the bonuses of previous battles is about 80,000 yuan. ”

There was silence in the room, and they all looked at Hu Jialin who was embarrassed, An Yi felt funny, and decided to add some more material: "Ladies and gentlemen, my big brother Hu is humble and embarrassed to finish speaking, and the little nephew will report it for him, the 110,000 yuan that Brother Hu just said is just the cash he used at will, if you add his shares in several factories, hospitals, water transportation companies and automobile transportation companies in Nanchang, as well as a two-story and semi-western-style building covering an area of two acres, my brother Hu's net worth has exceeded one million, and he will be able to share more than 100,000 yuan in dividends every year in the future, Ha ha! ”

The sound of "clang" sounded one after another, and the wine glass and rice bowl were poured into a piece.

Old Boxer Liu was so shocked that his beard fluttered: "Nephew An Xian, how humble are you?" ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled without answering, Hu Jialin whispered to Senior Liu: "Seventh Master, before the banquet, the little nephew seems to have heard you always mention the Jiangnan Group Company that has made great efforts to relieve the disaster in northern Lubei, right?" ”

"That's right! It's a well-known factory in the country, and there are several factories below, and you can't buy the things you produce. Not only are they rich in the world, but they are also very benevolent! Old Boxer Liu replied.

Hu Jialin pointed to An Yi and told the truth: "Don't hide it, my brother is the largest shareholder of Jiangnan Group, you always calculate, how much money does he have?" ”

"Boom, boom, boom and down.

At 6:10 a.m., 17 kilometers northwest of Botou, Jade Emperor Temple.

The neighing of horses came from afar, Zhang Chengzhu under the light of the torch raised his eyebrows, stood up suddenly, and the five or six captains who were urgently discussing how to break through also stood up in a panic, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and soon entered the temple gate, patrolling the camp outside, : Er Quanlong rushed into the main hall and reported in a deep voice:

"Big brother, the First Army of the Revolutionary Army not only blocked the main roads in the west, but also quietly abducted the three brothers who were our former reconnaissance, and just released them after interrogation, this is a handwritten letter from the chief of staff of the independent division named Lu Guang to the eldest brother."

"Independent Division of the First Army? Isn't it Brother An's independent division? Didn't they retreat south at the beginning of the month? Why did you go north too? Zhang Chengzhu looked at Li Jinlong, who nodded again and again, in surprise, took the letter and hurriedly opened it to read.

"General Zhang's Honor: Your troops have traveled two hundred miles for days and then after a big battle, the soldiers are tired, the horses are sleepy, it is really difficult to break out of the encirclement of our army's three divisions, I am glad to hear that the general and General Li's brother Jin Long are the best friends of our independent division commanders, General An and General Hu, the younger brother is full of respect and heartfelt words, I hope the general will come to contact my brother, and then escort hundreds of wounded brothers of your department to the south to our division station Botou, out of danger after everything is discussed separately.

At this moment, the two divisions of General Han Fuqu of the Northwest Army and the cavalry division of General Li Xiuwen have reached the first line of Hejian and Xianxian more than 20 kilometers in the northwest and due north.

General An and General Hu, deputy division commander, are coming to visit the general, and the military situation is urgent, and they are eager to come. Brother, the journey is respectful. ”

Zhang Chengzhu put away the letterhead and sighed: "The sky is endless!" I didn't expect Brother An and Brother Hu to be right in front of me, but I didn't expect that Brother An's words would become a prophecy today! Jin Long, let's go and lead the horse for Brother An..."

Li Jinlong shook his head and smiled bitterly, the general captain was in a desperate situation, his spirit was greatly lifted, where were the two commanders so full of mixed feelings, followed Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong to go out quickly, and instantly stepped on the war horse led by the three hundred iron guards, and rushed to Houtun two kilometers southwest, and after a while, he saw that the four bonfires at the three-way intersection in front of him were gradually extinguished, and in the morning light, a general wearing a steel helmet stood in the middle of the road surrounded by several entourages, the terrain on both sides protruded from north to south, and the grass and trees around the low slope and the creek were gently swaying, and it was impossible to see whether there were heavy soldiers in ambush.

Zhang Chengzhu stopped at a distance of 50 meters, and the generals and 300 iron cavalry behind him immediately stopped, and their movements were uniform and orderly, and the fleeing division still had such a strong combat power and appearance, which made Lu Guang and the more than 2,000 soldiers hidden in the surrounding area admire.

Li Jinlong slapped his horse and approached Zhang Chengzhu, and was about to speak, when the war horse under his crotch suddenly jumped suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he lifted the unprepared Li Jinlong off the horse, and the black horse raised a pair of front hooves high, and his head in mid-air turned to the southeast, and his mouth made a long and loud neighing sound, and at the same time as the forefoot landed, the strong hind legs suddenly rushed like lightning along the stream to the dense forest a hundred meters away from the southeast.

Several iron guards wanted to ride their horses to chase, that is, they were stopped by Zhang Chengzhu, all the eyes of the soldiers on both sides were focused on the tall and fierce black horse, only to hear a burst of hearty laughter from the woods, An Yi, who was wearing camouflage combat uniforms, opened his arms, ran out of the woods, and met the flying black horse, the black horse neighed excitedly, turned around An Yi sharply, slowed down and ran to An Yi's side and called non-stop, bent down his beautiful neck, and groped An Yi's chest and face affectionately with his face, and more than 30 rode under the leadership of Hu Jialin, He also slowly walked out of the dense forest.

An Yi hugged the neck of the little black horse who had been reunited for a long time, laughed happily, kissed deeply on the face of the beloved horse, and then turned over and got on the horse, Hu Jialin and others followed closely and ran to Zhang Chengzhu and others who dismounted.

An Yi took the horse more than ten meters away, turned over, strode towards Zhang Chengzhu who was looking at him with a smile, saluted, and then stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chengzhu tightly who had no time to return the salute:

"Brother Zhang, little brother is here to congratulate big brother! Yu..."

Zhang Chengzhu was surprised to take the note that An Yi ordered, saw that it was Ze's telegram, and hurriedly read it carefully, and now it turned out to be Chiang Kai-shek's telegram of encouragement, and he was actually appointed as the commander of the cavalry division of the First Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Li Jinlong became the chief of staff of the major general, and Chiang Kai-shek gave Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong a lot of encouragement and praise.

Zhang Chengzhu took the telegram and spoke incoherently: "Brother An, this" This is what Brother Zhang deserves, Jiang Zong Er ordered this Hai to hold a meeting with General Yan Baichuan in Shijiazhuang, and at five o'clock in the morning, he was pleased to hear that General Zhang Chengzhu led more than 3,000 iron cavalry to join the revolutionary camp. An Yi happily explained.

Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong were grateful, where did they not know that this was the result of An Yi's hard work? Zhang Chengzhu put his hands on An Yi's shoulders and asked with mixed feelings: "Brother, don't let the eldest brother and you Brother Li lead the horse for you and the beard?" ”

An Yi and Hu Zi looked at each other and laughed heartily, Hu Zi stepped forward to shake hands with Li Jinlong, who was covered in mud, turned to Zhang Chengzhu and whispered: "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, just in case, let's drive to Botou first, I heard that there are many injured brothers under the command of Big Brother, and they must be treated as soon as possible."

In addition, when it arrived at Botou, the Northwest Army was helpless. ”

"Okay, get out at once."

Zhang Chengzhu turned behind him and issued a series of orders, and the lieutenant under his command immediately quickly beat his horse back to the camp, leading his troops to move south, Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong turned over and got on their horses, and suddenly saw thousands of officers and men of the independent division carrying light machine guns and machine guns drilled out of the woods and streams, and their whole bodies were almost fused with the weeds and trees, and they couldn't help exchanging glances and secretly exclaiming.

Lu Cheng Guang and several other brothers also came to say hello immediately, and then returned, leading the independent brothers to collect the team, Li Jinlong pointed to the soldiers of the independent division who had gathered and silently marched south, and asked curiously:

"Brother An, the brothers under your command are so novel! The steel helmets on their heads are all newly equipped by your revolutionary army, right? ”

An Yi nodded: "Brother Li, when you go to Xuzhou for reorganization, you will also get this equipment, and when the time comes, the younger brother will accompany the two eldest brothers to meet the commander-in-chief, and will strive for the best treatment for the cavalry brothers." ”

"Thanks to my brother, we can only eat the food of being a soldier, otherwise even if the more than 3,000 brothers under our command escape, how will they make a living in this troubled world in the future?" Li Jinlong sighed, and Zhang Chengzhu was also embarrassed.

An Yi shook his head: "Brother Zhang and Brother Li are both from the sixth phase of Baoding, and many generals of our army are classmates, and they have rich experience in conquest and cavalry command level, which is what our revolutionary army lacks the most, Commander-in-Chief Jiang and the first cadre of the headquarters attach great importance to it, so the two big brothers don't think that there is any life, there is a way that heroes do not ask where they come from, and the revolution does not distinguish between morning and evening, and the two big brothers will be able to make progress and go further." ”

Zhang Chengzhu looked at An Yi gratefully: "Say, how can I thank you?" ”

"Big brother, don't say this out-of-the-box, that day on the west bank of Hongze Lake, if it weren't for the deep affection of the eldest brother, the younger brother, the beard and the independent brothers, where would they still be today? If the eldest brother really wants to thank him, drink a few more drinks tomorrow night, the beard's hometown is in Botou, and he will get married tomorrow, haha! An Yi said boldly. f
