Chapter 54: The Eighth Route Army won a great victory
Knowing that Shi Qiang and the others had returned to the inn, Liu Tianshu also put his mind at ease, and after saying a few words to Jiang Meijuan, he said goodbye to Jiang Meijuan with Zhao Xiaomei and Liu Juan, and the three of them walked to the inn.
Originally, according to reason, Liu Tianshu should have said to his master Jiang Jiawu when he left, but when he heard Jiang Meijuan say that his second brother went to the regiment headquarters early in the morning, he expected that he would not bother anymore because he was in military affairs.
The three of them walked out of Captain Jiang's residence and walked to the street, only to feel that the sun was shining, and the cries of vendors sounded on the street from time to time, and there was no feeling of a devil coming.
"Xiaomei, Head Jiang was ordered to lead his troops into Wuyang County, it seems that the National Government intends to secure Shanxi." Liu Tianshu glanced at a group of soldiers walking by the street and said to Zhao Xiaomei.
"Yes, I heard Sister Meijuan say last night that his second brother led the troops into Wuyang County, just to ensure the safety of the flank of the Niangzi Pass garrison, it is said that not only Wuyang County is stationed in a regiment, but also in the south of Huyangkou, and the two main regiments of the Jin Sui Army are also stationed." Zhao Xiaomei said with a smile.
Wuyang County is only a few dozen miles away from Niangzi Pass, and Huyangkou is a military important place in the north of Niangzi Pass.
You must know that Niangzi Pass, as the throat road from Shijiazhuang to Shanxi, the terrain is very dangerous, the Jin Sui army has the advantage of geographical advantages, and has gathered heavy troops there, it is not easy to think that the little devil wants to capture there.
"It's really not easy for that Chief Yan in Shanxi to be willing to send troops out of Shanxi, but I don't know where Uncle Zhao and them are now." Liu Tianshu suddenly thought of Zhao Dahai and Uncle Liu.
The reason why she came to Wuyang County was because she promised them to escort Zhao Xiaomei and Jiang Meijuan and others, Jiang Meijuan and her two nephews had handed over to Jiang Jiawu by themselves, which was considered to have completed the task, and the rest was to hand over Zhao Xiaomei and Liu Hai to Uncle Zhao and them.
"Brother Tianshu, do you think my father will be here?" Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, Zhao Xiaomei asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but we'll find out if we ask someone." Liu Tianshu did not say how to contact Zhao Dahai.
Although Blacksmith Liu and Zhao Dahai asked him to go to Qingfeng Temple when he arrived in Wuyang County, he didn't know if this Qingfeng Temple was their contact point, and out of caution, he decided to go to Qingfeng Temple to investigate the situation first.
The three of them talked all the way, and soon returned to the guest inn, and as soon as they walked into the inn, they saw that the entire inn was filled with an atmosphere of excitement, and many people's faces revealed an indescribable excitement.
The three of them didn't know what to do, and walked directly to their residence. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Shi Qiang say loudly in the house: "Good fight, good fight, this Eighth Route Army is really good, as soon as it goes to the battlefield, it has eliminated so many devils, the Eighth Route Army is really good." ”
"Qiangzi, if our troops are like the Eighth Route Army, then we won't have to worry about driving away the little devils, more than 3,000 devils, they will be killed all at once. This Eighth Route Army really didn't say anything. Bangs' excited voice rang out in the room.
Then I heard the two brothers of the Hao family agreeing on the side.
Liu Tianshu was stunned when he heard this, pushed the door in and asked with a smile: "Qiangzi, what makes you so happy?" ”
Shi Qiang jumped down from the kang when he heard the sound, looked at Liu Tianshu and said with flashing eyes: "Brother Tianshu, you are finally back, we have won a big battle, the Eighth Route Army has won a battle, they have eliminated more than 3,000 devils in Pingxingguan, more than 3,000 devils, so let them be reimbursed directly." ”
"What? Won a big battle? Killed more than 3,000 devils? Tell me, what the hell is going on? Hearing that more than 3,000 devils had been eliminated, Liu Tianshu was taken aback, and looked at Shi Qiang anxiously and said.
"Brother Tianshu, you don't know if you dare to love? Just yesterday, the Eighth Route Army ambushed the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army at Pingxingguan in the north, killing more than 3,000 devils at once. Shi Qiang said with excitement on his face.
"The Eighth Route Army ambushed the Japanese Fifth Division?" Liu Tianshu had an unbelievable expression on his face, he had heard some about the situation of the Eighth Route Army from Tian Deshan, and knew that it was adapted from the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. It is said that not long ago, they had gone to the anti-Japanese front in Shanxi, but they did not expect to achieve such a big result as soon as they came up.
"Yes, the news of this victory has spread throughout the city this morning, and I heard from Jin Suijun's brother that a notice has been sent to the top of the matter, and Commander Jiang has conveyed this matter to the whole regiment." Shi Qiang said with a smile.
So that's the case, no wonder the people in the entire inn seem to be talking excitedly about something, daring to love is the victory of the Eighth Route Army in the first battle, which is really inspiring.
"Qiangzi, this great event must be celebrated, let's find a place to celebrate." When Liu Tianshu heard such great news, he was immediately very happy, and shouted to go out to celebrate.
The two brothers of the Hao family have a soft spot for eating, and when they heard this, they immediately responded loudly, Zhao Xiaomei knew that Liu Tianshu had not eaten breakfast except for buying a baked cake on the street just now to cushion his stomach, and when he saw him propose to go out to eat, he did not stop him, and a group of seven people walked out of the inn and walked directly to a restaurant not far away.
Although it was not yet noon time to eat, a few people walked into the restaurant, only to find that the restaurant was already overcrowded, and the shopkeeper said apologetically that there was no place inside, and several people had to quit, and walked three in a row, and finally found a place in a restaurant near the west gate.
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, the seven people went upstairs directly and sat down in a private room, and then Hao Mengcheng began to call the shopkeeper to order, but the rest of the people were talking excitedly.
Not long after Liu Tianshu and the others walked into the private room, four more men in short coats silently went upstairs and sat down in their adjacent private room.
Hearing the constant sound of laughter in the private room next door, Chen Jian, who was sitting by the window, listened attentively while silently holding peanuts with chopsticks and slowly putting them into his mouth.
Shi Hu Sun Leopard, who was sitting on the side, and Hou Pei, nicknamed Little Monkey, saw that the second master did not speak, so they lowered their heads and ate.
After a while, Shi Hu finally couldn't help it, raised his head, looked at Jian Chen and said in a low voice: "Second master, last night was such a good opportunity, why didn't you let the brothers do it?" ”
When Jian Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "What do you know?" Last night, the surname Liu and the two chicks didn't go back to the inn, and the inn only had four of his subordinates. Besides, there is a Jin Sui army stationed in this city, and it will be troublesome if things get bigger. ”
Yesterday, he took the three of them all the way in a hurry, and finally arrived in Wuyang County when it was almost dark, and through the eyeliner in the city, in the evening, he found the trace of Liu Tianshu and his party, but after Chen Jian figured out the situation, he was surprised.
He didn't expect that the beautiful girl mentioned by the three masters turned out to be the sister of Jiang Jiawu, the commander of the Jinsui Army who had just entered Wuyang County.
If it was before, the Jin Sui army would not have reached the western Hebei border at all, but the little devil was preparing to attack Niangzi Pass, forcing the Jin Sui army to defend Shanxi and must defend Niangzi Pass.
What made him gasp even more was that the girl turned out to be the sister of Jiang Jiawu, the commander of the Jinsui Army.
With such a relationship, Chen Jian, who was bent on avenging his brothers, had to be cautious.
After all, the Jin Sui Army is a regular army, if it really annoys Jiang Jiawu, Longya Mountain may not be able to bear Jiang Jiawu's anger.
But if he asked Jian Chen to give up revenge because of Jiang Jiawu, he really couldn't swallow this breath.
It's just that the idea of arresting Jiang Meijuan back to the cottage has been dispelled by him.
Liu Tianshu, who killed his brother last night, did not return to the inn, he thought about it for a long time, and finally resisted the urge to do something to Shi Qiang and the others.
The bustle next door didn't end until an hour later, and when Jian Chen heard Liu Tianshu and the others check out and leave, he immediately made a look at Sun Bao, and then got up and followed.
Out of the restaurant, Liu Tianshu asked a passer-by about the location of Qingfeng Temple, and asked Shi Qiang and the others to go back to the inn first, and he went out for a walk alone.
Shi Qiang and Zhao Xiaomei were worried about his safety, and they all shouted to accompany him out to talk, but Liu Tianshu refused.
In the end, Liu Tianshu walked towards Qingfeng Guan with a smile in Zhao Xiaomei's worried gaze.
When Jian Chen saw Liu Tianshu separated from the others and walked out of the city alone, he immediately glanced at Shi Qiang and Sun Bao, and the four of them quietly followed.
In the restaurant, Liu Tianshu was happy because he heard the victory of the Eighth Route Army in the first battle, and drank two glasses with Hao Mengcheng, fortunately, he was drunk last night, and he naturally drank very restrained today, but Rao was like this, and his face was ruddy.
Qingfeng Temple is on a hill two miles west of the city. It is said that it is a small mountain, just because it is the remnant of a large mountain range, but because Qingfeng Guan is famous in Wuyang County, the trees on the mountain are well protected, and you can see a green onion when you go down the mountain. The mountain breeze blows, revealing a few coolness.
Along the stone-level road in front of Qingfeng Temple, Liu Tianshu looked at the surrounding scenery while walking towards the mountain in a hurry.
Along the way, I met a lot of people who went to Qingfeng Temple to burn incense and make vows, and saw Liu Tianshu's face full of alcohol, and a few girls and daughters-in-law kept moving in front of their noses with handkerchiefs, and their little brows wrinkled a little disgusted.
Liu Tianshu didn't care, strolled up the hill, arrived at the Qingfeng Temple, looked at the three strong big characters outside the quaint Guanmen - Qingfeng Guan, and studied it with relish for a long time, and then stepped into the Guanmen and walked inside.
Qingfeng Temple is a famous Taoist resort near Wuyang County, covers an area of nearly 30 acres, in addition to the Lingguan Palace, Sanqing Palace, Three Emperors Hall and Shengxian Tai that are built in turn against the mountain gate, there are also the east and west sides with the hall, the whole Taoist temple is simple and reveals a kind of ethereal.
