Just when Yan Xishan was looking at Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin was also looking at Yan Xishan. This old man is the same as the image in the TV series of later generations, if he doesn't wear a military uniform and rides a donkey, he will get rid of an old Wutai farmer with a simple appearance and a shrewd heart.

Thinking about Yan Xishan's performance at every critical moment in history, I feel that although Yan Xishan has been influenced by traditional Chinese culture and has a belly of "middle" philosophy and various theories, he has not gotten rid of the traditional consciousness of agricultural civilization that is limited by small farmers. Therefore, he supported the Wuchang Uprising, and he also supported Yuan Shikai's restoration; beat Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang; When the devil came, he resisted, and when he saw that it was too difficult, he looked for a compromise with him; Especially during the War of Liberation, he was the enemy of the people, and on the eve of the liberation of Taiyuan, he abandoned his subordinates, even his most beloved woman, and went to Taiwan to create the myth of Taiyuan's 500 perfect people.

Thinking about it, my mind ran away, and suddenly I thought, this old man has been gambling all his life, but he lost the gamble in the end. If this old man could wake up early, realize that his set is not good, and develop the industry honestly, maybe it is really worth writing in the history books!

Yan Xishan saw Liu Yimin staring at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought that Liu Yimin had shown friendship with a smile when he saw him for the first time! He said, "Master Liu, why did you laugh when you saw the old man?" ”

As soon as Liu Yimin heard Yan Xishan's words, he hurriedly collected his thoughts and said: "Chief Yan, I'm thinking, when Mr. Zhongshan gave you the word "fraternity" in his handwriting, how majestic and heroic you should be! ”

This time, it can be regarded as a real photograph of the horses at home. Yan Xishan's face was immediately full of vividness, and while calling people to serve tea and good tea, he beckoned Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Zuo Quan to sit down, and began to talk endlessly about the scene when Mr. Zhongshan toured Shanxi in the north, and told the story of Chiang Kai-shek's visit to Yan Xishan's hometown in Dingxiang to visit his father's illness. forgot the original intention of looking for Liu Yimin.

When pouring the tea for the third time, Liu Yimin saw that it was not the adjutant and the guards who came up to refill the tea, but a handsome daughter-in-law of twenty-six or seven. Hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't dare to be!" ”

Yan Xishan was surprised when he saw that Liu Yimin was polite to Yan Huiqing, he didn't know how Wu Xian'er came up to renew the tea in person, and he didn't want Liu Yimin to treat Wu Xian'er as his own family. He smiled and said, "Master Liu, you are blessed." This is my sister-in-law, who usually never sees outsiders, and today I personally came to pour water for your anti-Japanese hero! ”

Liu Yimin laughed in his heart, Lao Tzu still doesn't know your? I laughed in my heart, and I even said that I couldn't afford it, and I was tired.

Yan Huiqing can also be a person, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't laugh, little sister heard that the commanders of the Eighth Route Army and the great heroes who recovered Taiyuan are coming, so hurry up and come out to see tea." It turns out that our big hero is really full of heroism! ”

Yan Xishan laughed: "Wuxian'er, when you see Chief Zhu, Chief Peng and Senior Liu, you know that there are heroes everywhere in China, right?" Tell me that I am really a dog eating the moon, and I think too much. In this war of resistance, I think, we must be the victors. You say, don't you? ”

Yan Huiqing's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Xian'er doesn't understand these military affairs, and the eldest brother said that if we can win, then we will definitely win." Come, I'll add some water to you. ”

After refilling the water, Yan Huiqing said: "Big brother, sir, you drink tea slowly, I'm going down, please call me if you need anything." ”

Yan Huiqing left Nana, but Yan Xishan's interest in talking has not decreased. However, this time he no longer talked about Mr. Zhongshan, but began to ask Liu Yimin about the details of the battle to recover Taiyuan.

Liu Yimin saw that Yan Xishan's interest was mobilized, and he didn't mention the matter of carrying equipment at all, so he let go, and told how to eliminate the devil cavalry patrol squad under Pingyao City, disguise the devil into Pingyao, how to attack Qi County at night, eliminate the devil cavalry wing in sleep, how to ambush the 21st Brigade, how to lure Itagaki south, how to sneak attack Niangzi Pass, how to lure the embankment detachment and the second brigade, and finally told the story of recovering Taiyuan, completely annihilating the Chahar Dispatch Corps, and blowing up several major airports of the North China Army.

Liu Yimin's character is elegant, and he speaks standard Mandarin, with a strong and powerful voice, full of magnetic surnames. This is a story, ups and downs, not to mention Yan Xishan and the senior generals of the Jin Sui Army, even Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, Luo Ronghuan, and Zuo Quan, who heard Liu Yimin tell the battle in such detail for the first time, were all shaken in their hearts, as if they were on the battlefield in person, and they praised and sighed again and again from time to time.

After the talk, everyone was still immersed in Liu Yimin's story and savored the aftertaste. After a long time, Yan Xishan woke up like a dream, and loudly ordered the secretary to prepare wine and food, and take out the treasured old Bai Fen, he wanted to get drunk with Master Liu before resting.

During the banquet, Yan Xishan half-jokingly asked Liu Yimin, what did he do with the 5 million yuan he took from the old man?

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "Thank you, Chief Yan, the 5 million yuan we used to restore the university in Xi'an." Teachers and students all read Mr. Yan's good son, and the school memorabilia also specifically recorded the time and amount of Mr. Yan Baichuan's donation to the school. In the future, the college students in Xi'an will know that Chief Yan is a figure who is enthusiastic about education and rewarding younger generations. It is conceivable that Chief Yan will inevitably live for a hundred generations in the future! ”

Yan Xishan listened to it all over his body, and he had long forgotten the evil anger of being blackmailed by Liu Yimin to Java, picked up the wine bottle, poured a few wine bowls full, picked them up and said loudly: "This is the old Bai Fen, the best wine in the world." My old man has opened his eyes today and seen the demeanor of our real anti-Japanese generals. Come, Brother Yujie, we drink this bowl of wine with everyone, and wish our heroic General Liu Yimin more kills and win glory for our nation! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone applauded, stood up, touched each other, and drank it all.

After drinking, Yan Xishan was slightly drunk, took Liu Yimin's hand and said, "Senior Liu, you are so young and so suave, why are you so ruthless?" This has recovered Taiyuan, what a good thing, why did you sweep Taiyuan with a broom again, and not even a single screw was left for the old man? As he spoke, two tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.

The crowd was amazed.

Liu Yimin originally thought that Yan Xishan would not mention this matter again, but he didn't expect that no matter how good this old man said and how beautiful he was drinking, he couldn't let go of his own jars and jars. His face was embarrassed, and he calmed down a little, and said: "Chief Yan, Brother Yan, it's not that you are ruthless as a brother, at that time, I was only afraid that Itagaki Seishiro would lead the 20th Division and the 109th Division back to Taiyuan, and I was also afraid that the main force of the First Army of the Shijiazhuang Army would also kill me, in that case, I would only abandon the city and escape." You also know that when the army occupies Taiyuan again, these things are all his own. Do you still remember Zhang Xueliang's retreat from the Northeast? Most of the artillery shells that are bombing us now are produced by Zhang Xueliang's Shenyang Arsenal. The reason why the Kwantung Army of the Yue Army was so strong was because it accepted Zhang Xueliang's aircraft, weapons, ammunition and resources from the three eastern provinces. We can't be Zhang Xueliang's second. Okay, my brother Yan, Chief Yan, don't worry, when we defeat the devil and establish New China, I will get you whatever kind of equipment you want, and I will guarantee that you will develop Shanxi's economy in a short time. Trust me, I don't talk empty words! ”

Listening to Liu Yimin's shouts of Brother Yan and Chief Yan, Yan Xishan was so useful in his heart that he actually laughed, still took Liu Yimin's hand, and said, "Brother, don't let my brother and Chief Yan scream nonsense. In your eyes, I am your money bag, and when you want money, you want to come to me to get a handful. Forget it, just get it away, anyway, it's better than falling into my hands. Besides, I can't take it back from you. However, you have to remember that if you take what belongs to us Shanxi people, you owe us and will pay it back in the future! ”

Liu Yimin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, as long as I can defeat the devil, I will definitely pay you back, and it is the best." ”

Only then did Yan Xishan let go of his hand, sat down and said to Mr. Zhu: "Brother Yujie, I have a reluctant request, I want your party to send Division Commander Liu to serve in the headquarters of the Second War Zone and assist me in commanding the Second War Zone Operations. What if you don't know what to do? ”

Mr. Zhu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Chief Yan has such a mind, our party can't ask for it." However, this Liu Yimin can't do it, he is about to go to Hebei to find trouble with Shouyi and Xiangyue Qingsi in the temple, where there are many devils waiting to be eliminated. In this way, we can change people, and we will send whoever Commander Yan picks. ”

Yan Xishan was a little disappointed, and after thinking about it, he was relieved, he could take a fancy to it, so [***], Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De still don't regard Liu Yimin as their heart, where would they be willing to let go! Besides, a warrior like this should indeed be allowed to go to the front. He played well in front, is it safe for him to stay in Taiyuan!

After figuring it out, Yan Xishan put down the shelf, sat down and drank slowly with everyone.

Luo Ronghuan saw that Yan Xishan admired Liu Yimin very much, and felt that this was an opportunity, so he proposed to hand over Chen Yaoguang to Chief Yan, and send her back to Mrs. Jiang when it was convenient for Chief Yan.

No, Yan Xishan shook his head like a rattle, and he couldn't even say it. He did not dare to disobey the things arranged by Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Chiang. The chairman of the committee is the commander-in-chief of all China's armed forces, and he is willing to send his goddaughter to take care of Liu Yimin, which is his appreciation and love for the general. To put it bluntly, the chairman of the committee is asking his righteous daughter to come to Liu Yimin as his aunt and wife, and take care of his life by the way, which is a great favor. It is now the period of the Republic of China, which is different from the former Qing Dynasty. If it is in the former Qing Dynasty, this is the emperor's grace, it is a marriage, it is a princess to marry, and the subordinates who are the chairman can only obey and be grateful, and must not refuse. Otherwise, it is disloyalty and unfilial piety. The ancients said that the elders give it, but they dare not resign, which is also the truth of life. Besides, I heard that this Chen Yao is a first-class beauty, and it is not an insult to him if he is matched with Liu Yimin. This kind of thing can't be asked for by others, so why do you want to drive her away?

Hearing this, Liu Yimin's head exploded, and he hurriedly interrupted Yan Xishan, who was shaking his head and reasoning, and said: "Chief Yan, Uncle Yan, Brother Yan, don't say so much truth, your reason is not suitable for me." I'll take Taiyuan back and hand it over to you, you won't even be willing to help with this little favor! It's just that you are asked to take a little girl to Mrs. Jiang when she is on the way, look at your difficulty, and teach me so many truths. You have many truths, but I have only one truth, and that is that I am not persecuted by anyone! I have a wife, I don't need any living secretary or aunt's wife, and I don't dare to accept Chairman Jiang's kindness. ”

Yan Xishan looked at Liu Yimin and said slowly: "Han Wali, you are so shrewd, why are you stupid now?" If you leave this girl, then you need money and money, guns and guns, officials and officials, and territory, and no one will dare to beat your idea. This kind of good thing that others can't dream of, how can you refuse? I don't believe you [***] don't need money, guns, or territory. Listen to the old man's words, tell your mother-in-law well, stay. Don't be stupid! That's ignorance, you know? ”

Liu Yimin, who said this, was dumbfounded, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.

Mr. Peng saw Liu Yimin drinking with his head bored, so he said, "Sir Yan, you have to have two wishes to find a wife, right?" That can be sent like this! What's more, Master Liu and his wife are in love, isn't this mixing sand into honey? ”

Yan Xishan laughed: "Deputy Commander Peng, this is something you don't understand, in the past, when big families married their daughters, they all had dowry girls, and these dowry girls were serving young ladies on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were also escort girls and aunts. It's all forced, so you have to ask for it if you don't want it. Of course, now it is the Republic of China, we are revolutionary soldiers, and we must bring down these old traditions. However, is it normal for a man to marry more mothers-in-law? Soldiers are all pinned to their belts, there is no tomorrow today, what is it to marry an extra aunt? Let me say, you [***] have many advantages, but you are not good at all, admit death. What monogamy, who would dare to say that they have only loved one woman in their life? If you want me to say, this Master Liu is so good, women will like him when they see him. I guess that the righteous daughter of the chairman of the committee is afraid that she really likes Master Liu, and begged Mrs. Jiang to call the shots. This is a good thing, Mrs. Jiang doesn't care about her righteous daughter doing partial house, why should we be old Fahai? The ancients said that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one family. Besides, I, Yan Baichuan, have no suitable candidate, and if there is, I will also send one to Senior Commander Liu. is such a good offspring, that daughter doesn't like it? ”

Liu Yimin was upset when he heard this, so he said, "Chief Yan, can you help with this favor?" ”

Yan Xishan smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, the old man can't do anything." ”

Liu Yimin said hatefully: "If you don't help, I won't let this Taiyuan City, and I will occupy the mountain as the king." ”

Yan Xishan laughed in his heart, baby, you are still tender! If I take over this hot potato, Chairman Jiang and Madame Jiang will not hate me to death! smiled and said, "No problem, anyway, you have made this Taiyuan an empty city, you can occupy it if you want." I'm all the right thing to say. ”

Liu Yimin looked at Yan Xishan, and felt that it was a mess, this Yan Laoxi was not threatened! Just say I'll go find Chief Wei!

Yan Xishan smiled: "My old man doesn't dare to care, but he Wei Lihuang dares to care?" I can assure you that he will take the deal today, and tomorrow the commander of his Fourteenth Army will be replaced. Don't scare him, he's not as wide as my old man's shoulders. A few days ago, the chairman of the NPC National Committee sent a telegram asking him to appoint Chen Yaoguang to the military rank of the Second World War Zone. I think about it, let's appoint a colonel adjutant, whose responsibility is the life secretary of Division Commander Liu. As for the future, we can talk about it later, my old man prepared a congratulatory gift, and sent someone to send it later, which can be regarded as a little heart for Master Liu's new marriage. ”

Liu Yimin stopped talking, bowed his head and drank and ate. The atmosphere on the table cooled down.

Luo Ronghuan looked at Liu Yimin with a little sympathy, and whispered to him: "It's nothing, just send her when Vice Chairman Zhou goes to see Chiang Kai-shek." ”

No, Yan Xishan is not old, so he said directly: "It is easy to solve such small problems with Mr. Zhou's wisdom." However, I suspect that for the time being, he will not agree to send people back. ”

Liu Yimin slapped the table angrily, got up and left, never wanting to look back. Yan Xishan chased after him and shouted, "Hanwa, the wine hasn't finished yet!" That's a good thing, don't be stupid! ”

Mr. Zhu saw Liu Yimin leaving in a hurry, for fear that something would happen, so he got up and was about to leave, Yan Xishan kept him again and again, and when he saw that everyone had made up their minds, he said: "Brother Yujie, if you want me to say, you [***] are good at everything, but monogamy is not good." Look at what Liu Yimin tortured into, I feel distressed. If only he were in my Jin Sui Army. He killed the enemy at the front line in front of the commander-in-chief, and I raised food and grass in the rear, what a good situation it was! I am no longer afraid of this discipline and that discipline, a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, how happy! ”

Mr. Zhu's face turned blue, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan hurriedly said, "Please stay with Chief Yan, and we'll see you later." ”

Yan Xishan didn't say much at this time, and said goodbye to everyone.

Out of the Second War Zone Governor's Department, Luo Ronghuan raised his foot and kicked a piece of dirt on the side of the road away, and said hatefully: "Yan Xishan, this old fox, if you don't help, you don't say anything, and you have to sprinkle salt on the wound, you really shouldn't give this Taiyuan to him." ”

Mr. Peng was not angry, and said with a smile: "This Yan Laoxi looks smart, but he is actually very stupid. Originally, he was called a brother and sister to Liu Yimin, which was just right. As soon as he mentioned this question, he was dizzy and wanted to use it to make it difficult for us. This time, he offended Liu Yimin. I think Liu Yimin will not be willing to see him again before he leaves. This is not to provoke, but to erode a handful of rice. When the devil calls again, I'll see who can save him. ”

Mr. Zhu said coldly: "He is taking revenge on us for vacating Taiyuan and helping Chiang Kai-shek to give us dark energy!" It's okay, stay and stay. It's a big deal to add an adjutant to Tang Xingying, how much more waves can it make! ”

Several people sat in the car and didn't speak, so Mr. Zhu had no choice but to sigh and say: "This Liu Yimin's military exploits are too great, and Chiang Kai-shek is constantly making secret moves." We have to protect him, a woman is nothing, it's a big deal if he gets drunk one day and does something stupid, we just let him do a check-up. But it's still unclear what the spy will do next. Comrade Rong Huan, after you go back, let Hu Di and Li Chengyi make good arrangements for this security work, and don't leave dead ends and gaps, and don't let the spies take advantage of the loopholes. Something like Chengdu must not happen again, Liu Yimin is now on the cusp, and the enemy is staring at him! ”

After thinking about it, Mr. Zhu said again: "Report the ins and outs of seeing Yan Xishan today and Liu Yimin's attitude to inform them, and ask for instructions." Lao Mao and Enlai are resourceful, and there must be a way. ”

After Luo Ronghuan agreed, Mr. Zhu stopped talking, and the car drove forward slowly.

After returning to the Jin Ancestral Hall, Liu Yimin was depressed and fell asleep.

Tang Xingying knew that he and Mr. Zhu had gone to see Yan Xishan together, thinking that he had drunk too much, and he didn't care, and after taking care of her to sleep, he went to his own house.

Liu Yimin woke up and saw that it was already dark, and Tang Xingying was leading He'er to eat, so he didn't bother the two of them, and sat cross-legged on the bed by himself, working slowly. It wasn't until the deed was completed that I felt strong and energetic, and I got out of bed to wash my face.

He held his son in his arms, kissed his little face a few times, put it down, drank a bowl of gruel at will, and ate two steamed buns. asked Tang Xingying to turn on the flashlight, put his son on his shoulder, and the family of three took a night tour of the Jin Temple.

Although the Nanlao Spring, the Temple of Our Lady, the Grand Stage, and the ancient trees are all hidden in the night, they look unique when they shine with a flashlight. Liu Yimin went all the way, telling his wife and son in detail about the source and construction and maintenance of the Jin Ancestral Hall, and told the allusions involving the Jin Ancestral Hall vividly. Tang Xingying was naturally drunk and fascinated, and even He'er was listening with a wink. When Liu Yimin saw his son's demeanor, he felt funny, and he just told his wife, where could his son listen. If you can listen to it, you will be an absolute prodigy.

Thinking about the scene when he saw Yan Xishan during the day, Liu Yimin's mood was agitated, and he couldn't help reciting Ouyang Xiu's "Jin Ancestral Hall": "Ten miles south of the ancient city, the Ming Canal is between the roads. Pedestrians look at the ancestral hall and retreat to the ancestral hall to peep at the water source. The earth spirit grass and trees are moist, and the lush ancient cypress contains warehouse smoke. And the state since ancient times many heroes, five generations of wars for hundreds of years. Heaven and earth have opened Allah, and it is necessary to triumph again. The recalcitrant people moved to the high base, and the autumn grass was buried in the empty wall. Merge into the former Jin water, clear and shining Han Zhuyan. Jinshui is now a man and a state, and the rice flowers are deserted and the fields are watered. Waste Xing seems to have no old ambitions, and the weather is lonely in the mountains and rivers. Only the sacred deeds of the ancestors are preserved, and the dance is orchestrated. I came to ascend to the Taixi, and temporarily shine on the white hair in the clear spring. Birds cry people go to the temple gate, and the mountains and moons come to Juanjuan. ”

After chanting, he explained the poetry to Tang Xingying again, and then took Tang Xingying's hand, carried his son on his back, and continued to roam in the courtyard by moonlight. It wasn't until Tang Xingying felt a little cold and was afraid that her son would freeze that the two of them returned hand in hand.

The mountain man turned 360 degrees freely and grabbed the big ticket of the book friend. shouted wildly: "If you don't believe it, you won't vote!" ”

(To be continued)
