Chapter VIII Dividing the Army on Two Routes

In the big picture, Cheng Shuangxi can guess the point, but when it comes to the specific details, he is not clear. Cheng Shuangxi only knew that something big had happened to the Pseudo-Ninth Regiment now.

At noon today, regiment commander Yang Liben convened a meeting of officers at and above the company level of the whole regiment, and Cheng Shuangxi, as the deputy commander of the third battalion, was also a participant.

A few days ago, Hu Fei entered the barracks to negotiate, and almost all the officers of the puppet Ninth Regiment knew about it, and everyone thought that this time it was Regiment Commander Yang who announced the uprising. No one expected that when everyone arrived, Yang Liben announced in public at the meeting: The Ninth Regiment of the Imperial Association Army will start tonight and will go to Zhongtiao Mountain to defect to the Central Army!

Where is Mt. Nakajo? In the south of Shanxi, after Linfen, it is next to Henan in the south. The Pseudo-Ninth Regiment put the 88 Column close at hand and did not go to the Eighty-Eight Column, but had to run hundreds of miles to Zhongtiao Mountain, who would have thought? As soon as Head Yang announced the news, the scene exploded.

The officers attending the meeting were in a mess, some clamoring to defect to the Eighth Route Army, some clamoring to defect to the Jin Sui Army, some in favor of defecting to the Eighth Eighth Column, and of course there were also a group of people who supported the regiment commander to defect to the Central Army. Each man speaks his own reasons, and each speaks his own reasoning, but no one can convince anyone, and no one will give up his own ideas. A good venue turned into a quarrel field, and a few impatient temperaments rolled up their arms and sleeves and almost moved their fists.

In the end, it was really unbelievable, Yang Liben gave a command, and a pair of soldiers with loaded guns rushed in from the door, and the pin drop was immediately heard quietly in the venue. It wasn't until this moment that the big guys understood, it turned out that the regiment commander called everyone to come not to discuss, but to inform the big guys that the troops were ready to join the Central Army! Faced with the muzzle of the black hole and the company commander's face, the officers chose to give in. Neither will the unyielding sworn sit in this house.

Cheng Shuangxi is the inside line bought by Cheng Laozhu, and when he sees that the situation has changed, of course he has to inquire about what is going on. The inside story of the matter is not a secret, as long as you inquire carefully, there is no news that you can't find out.

Something happened to Yang Li's family. His wife, who has been widowed for 20 years, has been kidnapped! The person who kidnapped the ticket didn't want money or food, and the only condition they put forward was to let Yang Liben take the pseudo-Ninth Regiment to Zhongtiao Mountain to defect to the Central Army! Faced with such a situation, Yang Liben had no way to refuse. Everyone knows that Head Yang was brought up by him, a widowed old lady, and the old lady is his lifeline!

Speaking of this, Cheng Shuangxi sighed, "Commander Yang is actually pitiful, otherwise, the commander will let him go." "Since ancient times, loyal ministers and filial sons, righteous husbands and wives have always been respected, and it is not surprising that Cheng Shuangxi can say such things.

Hu Fei also respects those who honor their parents, but this does not excuse them for their wanton behavior. In Hu Fei's eyes, a person like Yang Liben who has already signed the declaration of uprising, but repents without saying hello is wanton! If you're really in trouble, you won't send someone to say hello? What's the deal with pulling the team away a day in advance without making a sound?

Although Hu Fei may not let people go even if they say hello, the behavior of wanting to run without saying hello is something he can't bear at all.

Is it tolerable or unbearable! For this kind of person who does not even abide by the documents signed by himself, he cannot be let go lightly. Hu Fei already has two documents signed by Yang Liben in his hand, this guy wants to run away without paying attention to it, so how can Hu Fei agree?

After calling Gou Tianxiao and Zhang Yayi over to discuss, Hu Fei decided to divide the troops in two ways: he himself led all the way into the military camp of the Puppet Ninth Regiment, took Yang Liben with lightning speed, grabbed the command of the Puppet Ninth Regiment, and accused the puppet regiment to revolt in advance! The second way, find a confidant to lead the team to find Yang Liben's wife and find an opportunity to save people.

Of course, the second way is to save the best, and if you can't save it, it won't have much impact. As long as we prove that we also respect the filial piety of our mother and son, and we try our best to help. This will be of great benefit to the return of the puppet army in the future.

"Then I'll take the second way to save people." Gou Tianxiao took the initiative to ask. The second road is difficult, and the opponent is likely to be the elite detachment of the Central Army. And even if it succeeds, it doesn't do any good. Yang Liben has been taken down and saved his mother, how do you expect him to thank you? That is, the patriarch like Gou Tianxiao will grab this task that does not fall well.

But Hu Fei didn't plan to give him this task, "Don't go, I still need you here." Send someone to inform Yuan Fang that this task is given to him. Let Yuan Fang pick twenty people from the group that came back with Yayi. Yuci's situation is so complicated, you have to help me greet me well. ”

Yuan Fang was undoubtedly the closest of Hu Fei's generals, and he had only served as the commander of the guard company for several years. The young man's brain is also clever and his kung fu is also high, and Hu Fei is most relieved to hand over this task to him.

The people brought by Zhang Yayi were all personally reviewed by Sun Cunzhou, and there must be nothing to say about martial arts. Although these people may not be as famous as Huo Qinglong, they are definitely not good at stubble. Yuan Fang took them out, and it might have an unexpected effect.

Hu Fei had already made a decision, Gou Tianxiao naturally had no objections, and he would do the task of informing Yuan Fang. Next, Hu Fei began to select his entourage, this time the military camp was sneak attacked, and it was not okay to bring too many people.

Zhang Yayi will definitely follow, Huo Qinglong, Yang Xiaowu, and Wang Hong will also have to take it. These four people, plus Hu Fei, a total of five people, are the candidates to arrest Yang Liben. Cheng Laozhuan led some investigators to follow Cheng Shuangxi into the puppet Ninth Regiment, and quickly controlled the unit after Yang Liben was taken.

There is another question, Hu Fei has to ask Cheng Shuangxi, "How are you popular in your group?" How many dead friends are there? ”

"Don't dare to say anything else, popularity is definitely no problem. I guess I can find five or six of them. If you let me also participate in the assassination of Yang Liben, these brothers will definitely follow me! When Cheng Shuangxi said this, Cheng Shuangxi's heart jumped, he didn't know if Commander Hu would think that he had too few friends. These people are really lifelong friends, and he doesn't dare to guarantee the others.

Unexpectedly, Hu Fei grinned after hearing this, looked Cheng Shuangxi up and down, and patted this person on the shoulder, "Okay, the old pole didn't mistake you." After I catch Yang Liben, the Pseudo-Ninth Regiment is counting on you to help me hold down the position! ”

"Yes, I promise to live up to the commander's trust!" Cheng Shuangxi's face turned red with excitement, and he raised his hand to salute a standard military salute. When he saluted this, he had already regarded Hu Fei as a growth officer.

It's daytime, and it's too eye-catching to wear a night suit and cover your face. Hu Fei and Zhang Yayi changed into puppet army uniforms and followed Cheng Shuangxi into the barracks of the puppet Ninth Regiment.

The last time he came to sign the declaration of the uprising, Hu Fei still felt that the puppet Ninth Regiment barracks were clean and tidy, and after a few days, the same barracks had become chaotic.
