Only three days later, Yang Tianfeng received a letter sent by Ge Laokui.

“…… Hearing that Chief Yang is committed to resisting the Japanese and helping the country, he has repeatedly defeated the Japanese invaders, and the prestige of the people of the Great Changguo is infinitely praised, and it is difficult to write the book.

Haotian does not hang, thieves and thieves, burning, killing, raping and plundering, all evil, the whole country is angry, all people with lofty ideals, who does not have the heart of the Japanese? Ge inherited the support of the people of Xiao County and the entrustment of the gentry, and rose up, aiming to unite heroes from all walks of life, work together to resist the enemy, save the country and save the people, and kill the enemy to drive away the enemy.

The anti-Japanese army from all walks of life prospered, originally to resist Japan to save the country and defend the township, and the fathers and elders of one side had high hopes. Chief Yang led his division eastward, the meaning is unclear, and there have been many misunderstandings recently, and he is anxious to clarify.

I sent a letter to Chief Yang, sincerely hoping to meet in Linjiang Village to save the country and work together for the great cause. ”

Yang Tianfeng put down the letter and fell into deep thought. This is a common trick in the green forest. It would also be a good idea to realize your plan with less fighting. But the heart of defense is indispensable, and when you meet with the bandit leaders, you must also make all the preparations.

…………

The sun rises to the southeast of the blue sky, and the colorful morning glow dissolves with the morning light, and the wisps of red are smeared on the edge of the new white clouds, melting into a light crimson. The water of the Xiaoyang River flowed slowly with golden light, and the birds in the forest stopped chirping and scattered to the fields to feed.

The wooden bridge, which has fallen into disrepair for a long time, lies like a wounded dragon on the calm surface of the river. The flood season has passed, and the river is knee-deep, so for safety, people rarely walk on the bridge, or wade through the water, or walk some distance to take a ferry to and fro in the depths of the river.

The place of negotiation between the two sides is located on the river beach, where there is no big shelter and a wide field of vision, so people do not have to worry too much about the other side using methods such as ambushes.

But this is closer to Linjiang Village, and Yang Tianfeng is considered a visiting team, so the reception is arranged by the Huaibei faction. Wooden stakes for tying horses, large tents erected, makeshift kitchens and latrines were well prepared.

Yang Tianfeng was dressed in a straight national * army uniform, the lieutenant colonel's collar badge was shining, and there was almost no expression on his indifferent face, only through those bright eyes, people felt confident, followed by six or seven entourages left and right, and then fifty guards, all of them were strong guys, well-armed, neat and solemn, exuding a dignified murderous aura.

Jiang Lao Wu, as the representative of Gongshan, was surrounded by the leaders of various mountains, and behind him was also a team of fifty guards. In order to ensure that the negotiations are carried out according to the will of Ge Dalong, so as not to cause extraneous branches, these guards are the elite of Miyayama. On the one hand, it is not to fall behind in momentum, and on the other hand, it is also to make those leaders with evil intentions dare not move.

The two sides slowly approached, separated by more than a dozen steps, and stood down in unison, Yang Tianfeng wanted to say hello first and earn the initiative, but unexpectedly Jiang Lao Wu took the first step, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello Sir Yang, the contemptible person is Jiang Lao Wu, the fifth master of Gongshan." ”

took the initiative to be earned by Jiang Lao Wu, Yang Tianfeng didn't mind much, he nodded with a smile, and also returned the salute according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, "It turned out to be the fifth master, the name is like thunder, I am very honored to meet today." ”

Jiang Lao Wu introduced Yang Tianfeng to the entourage one by one, and then invited Yang Tianfeng and others into the tent.

The tent is not enclosed, but rather a shaded pergola, so that the men on both sides can see the situation inside and avoid misunderstandings.

Several tables are put together, covered with snow-white tablecloths, and it becomes a clear barrier between the two sides. There are fruits, tea, and snacks on the table.

The two sides sat down, briefly politely said a few words, and then got to the point.

"Chief Yang led the team from eastern Henan to Huaibei, which is really aggressive!" Jiang Lao Wu said straight to the point: "Although most of the people here are reckless, but at the time of the national crisis, they rose up, and they did not dare to forget their ancestors and become traitors." Chief Yang doesn't ask about the indiscriminate and wanton annexation, which is very disturbing. ”

Yang Tianfeng smiled faintly and said, "The fifth master's words are bad. If it is a sincere anti-Japanese army to protect the family and defend the country, it is too late for Yang to make friends, how can he annex it? ”

"Then what's going on with Wang Biaozi, the Earth Tiger, and Xiao Batian?" Xiao Shunzi said with a smile: "Please explain to Chief Yang!" ”

Yang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Do you know these three very well?" I want to hold grievances for them. ”

Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment, and said ambiguously: "They are all heroes who resist the Japanese in Huaibei, and they have also interacted on weekdays, and I and all the leaders here have this idea." ”

Yang Tianfeng looked around, and saw that everyone agreed with Xiao Shunzi's expression, and couldn't help sneering, "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, it is difficult to draw people and tigers." Under the banner of resisting Japan and protecting the family, he is doing traitors behind his back. Look—" He paused, and took out two folded layers of Oriental cotton paper from the bag of his attendant next to him, and spread them on the table, the large red square seal on them was particularly eye-catching.

Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, but it turned out to be two letters of appointment, which read: I hereby appoint XX as the head of a certain regiment of the Huaibei Imperial Cooperative Army. The inscription is the Xuanfu class of the Kawagishi Corps of the Imperial Army of Japan, and the date is a certain day in June of the thirteenth year of Showa.

"Look, see clearly." Yang Tianfeng tapped his fingers on the table and said with a slight mockery: "In the anti-Japanese team, around us, there are traitors and traitors, and there are trash who have forgotten their ancestors!" If you are fighting with the devils, these guys stab you in the back again, the consequences are unimaginable, terrible, what a terrible thing. ”

Jiang Lao Wu blinked, he didn't believe that Yang Tianfeng had obtained the information in advance, and attacked Wang Biaozi and others. According to his conjecture, Yang Tianfeng cut first and then played, and after the war, he got these things, so he put them on the table as a reasonable excuse. But now that the evidence is conclusive, it really can't be used to interrogate him.

"Wang Biaozi and the Tiger secretly took refuge in the Japanese, what about Xiao Batian? Why are there only two letters of attorney here? "Xiao Shunzi deliberately picked faults.

"Little Batian, he bullies men and women, even if he kills people and sets fires, as long as he sincerely fights against Japan and fights devils, I don't want to embarrass him. But he actually took in Zhao Laohu, who was chased and killed by me, and went against me. Yang Tianfeng widened his eyes and said unceremoniously: "I really don't know that I deserve to be destroyed." ”

"Wanzihao is also a good man in the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration for Xiao Batian to take in some former friends, right?" The short man said with a frown.
