Li Kenong's intelligence officer can be said to be pervasive about Chiang Kai-shek's government, and he knew the Tao earlier than Wang Jingwei, so when Chiang Kai-shek was arrested, Chen Geng and Zhou Enlai had already arrived in Chiang Xianyun's military camp.

Jiang Xianyun was very wise, he knew that if he continued to hold on here, he would likely be wiped out, so he led his troops to slowly retreat to the Chuhe area, seeking an opportunity to enter Dabie Mountain.

At this time, the central government gave him a reply that if he retreated, the supplies would not continue to move to Sichuan, so he could only temporarily station his troops in the Chuhe area, waiting for the opportunity to return to Dabie Mountain.

At this time, Director Zhou found Jiang Xianyun.

Now Director Zhou is no longer the young and handsome instructor, and Jiang Xianyun is no longer the young student, one is the central leader of the Red Party, the other is an important leader of the Elite Alliance of Strong Countries, and the only one who has not changed much is Chen Geng, who is still the cheerful and optimistic soldier.

It's just that Jiang Xianyun's changes make it difficult for him to be happy, and he thinks that young people like them shouldn't take so much responsibility.

In particular, Jiang Xianyun's head has begun to appear with gray hair. And the body is also thin and unsightly.

"You shouldn't treat yourself like this, you are one of the twin stars of the Republic of China, you are the pride of the country, why do you treat yourself like this, you see that you have white hair, if Liu Yuan treats you so badly, come with me, follow me to Shanghai, although I do underground work, but at least it is not so hard."

Chen Geng's eyes were full of tears, he had true feelings for these brothers in the past, and he was very sad to see Jiang Xianyun's haggard appearance.

"What am I, when I was the commander of the auxiliary country, I didn't sleep much for more than ten days in a row, and I haven't come here yet, and you know how to say, I am living the day I am looking forward to the most. You know that I have never been so happy in the red. In my organization, I did what I wanted to do, but couldn't. Jiang Xianyun said with emotion.

"Can you please stop this, do you think I'm stupid? The reason why you are good to the poor is not to let the poor support you, in fact, the ultimate purpose of your doing this is to maintain the interests of the rich, but you have achieved something that you must do when a new dynasty rises, that is, to cultivate your own new interest class. You have given many peasants the opportunity to become rich, and those who have become rich will be your staunch supporters, and I really regret that I did not read more history books and did what I did when I went abroad. Chen Geng looked regretful.

"Come on, I don't know how much Lu Dao envy you for being able to study abroad, but the insight just now is not something you can say, who told you." Jiang Xianyun said.

Chen Geng hadn't been a stinky fart for long before he was exposed by Jiang Xianyun, which made Chen Geng a little faceless.

"Oh, you are still like this, don't give face to others, of course it's Mao, this time he also suggested that I come with Director Zhou, he hopes to use Chiang Kai-shek to negotiate with the Central Committee, he hopes that Chiang Kai-shek can give up the encirclement and suppression of the Red Party and give us the right to participate in politics." Chen Geng said.

"Why are you reds still so temperamental, it doesn't seem to do us any good." Jiang Xianyun asked Chen Geng with a smile.

"But you used to be a member of the Red Party, do you remember that you swore an oath to the party constitution?" Chen Geng took out the red notebook and asked, it was a familiar look.

Jiang Xianyun missed it very much, but shook his head and said, "If I was in the Red Party camp, I didn't prove my innocence by death, or I would have committed suicide." So don't talk about the past, we won't make this happen with you, we have already made an agreement with the central government, and the supplies have been sent to Sichuan. ”

"It doesn't matter, since you are unwilling to do this, we have one more thing to talk to you, you have arrested Chiang Kai-shek this time, although all parties have not expressed their opinions, but Chiang Kai-shek must have a grudge against you Dabie Mountain, and there will definitely be no end to encirclement and suppression at that time, so our Red Party hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with you. Fight together against the impending encirclement and suppression. Director Zhou said, he was very wise, and he saw at a glance what Jiang Xianyun had been worried about.

Jiang Xianyun has always been worried that Liu Yuangao looked down on him, but in fact, it was really difficult for him to take root here in Dabie Mountain, and it was good to say that he had not completely offended Chiang Kai-shek before.

After all, now is not the era of warlord separation, Chiang Kai-shek can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of central troops, and then it will be the end of Dabie Mountain.

But he was reluctant to tell Liu Yuan, he didn't want to distract his close comrades-in-arms, he knew that he had to spend time thinking about broader issues, and he wanted to think about a way out for the nation and the country.

As for the Dabie Mountain Corps, let's fight by ourselves, anyway, it was originally developed by itself with a few people, even if they are all sacrificed, they can bear it.

"I'm sorry, since the April 12 coup, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has ended, whether it is right or wrong, no matter what, we belong to the national government, and we will not cooperate with you."

"Then aren't you afraid that Chiang Kai-shek will encircle and suppress you?" Chen Geng asked angrily, he really didn't understand that Jiang Xianyun had given up such a good ally as them.

"What are we afraid of? I forgot to tell you that the Japanese are ready to exterminate us, but the central government wants to give you our cooperation in fighting the Japanese, how about it, do you say that the government will still encircle and suppress us? Jiang Xianyun said that he said this, most likely to make the Red Party die.

He knew that Chiang Kai-shek was very taboo, that is, the Red Party and the Kuomintang came together.

"To start a war with the Japanese, do you Kuomintang really have the courage? I can't see through you. Chen Geng said disdainfully.

"Wushan, are you telling the truth? The Nationalist Government is willing to cooperate with you to deceive the trust of the Japanese and then eliminate the Japanese. Will Liu Yuan agree? Director Zhou asked in disbelief.

"Naturally, for our troops, the Japanese have a special obsession, you must know that we once wiped out one of their divisions, although we sacrificed a lot of people, but that was the first time that Japan had a standing division in China, which was a great shame, so they would trouble us, as for Liu Yuan's guy, he had already given me authorization and agreed to cooperate with the central government." Jiang Xianyun was very happy.

He was happy for Liu Yuan's trust in him, secretary of the Southeast Bureau, what a great right this is, there is no better than himself.

"We, the Red Party, also want to participate in this event." Zhou En said.

"You also want to participate in this operation, how is it possible, just rely on your Hanyang-made shotguns?" Chen Geng felt like he was about to laugh.

"Yes, Director Zhou, many of our soldiers still have big knives and spears in their hands? Let them go to fight the Japanese, wouldn't that be a death sentence. Chen Geng also refused on the side.

"What do you know, brothers are outside the wall to defend against their insults, although we have a small strength, but our soldiers have seen war compared to those ordinary people, they can transport supplies, reconnoiter the terrain, build positions, of course, we also hope that the Nationalist Government will face us squarely, and not treat us as robbers, and at the same time, our Red Party also hopes to continue to cooperate with the Kuomintang." Director Zhou said that he said that the Red Party was extremely tall.

Jiang Xianyun nodded and said, "People are under the roof and have to bow their heads, and it is understandable for you to do this, and if you participate in this war, then in the hearts of the people, those of you who hold backward weapons are heroes and soldiers, and the people will sympathize with you, and if the principal encircles and suppresses you again, you will be condemned by the people, good chess, good chess." ”

"I didn't expect that you, Jiang Xianyun, have such a flexible political mind, so do you think Chiang Kai-shek will agree to us?" Director Zhou asked very curiously.

"Naturally, I will agree, don't underestimate the principal's bearing, the principal's kung fu is getting stronger and stronger, although I arrested the principal, but the principal has not been flustered since the beginning, nor has he lost his temper a little, and he is also very interested in watching the situation of our army, the principal shows the temperament of a generation of emperors, you red party should be careful." Jiang Xianyun still sympathized with the Red Party from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would not have said these words.

Zhou Enlai looked at Jiang Xianyun's expression with some regret, but he didn't say anything sorry, but said, "Chiang Kai-shek has changed a lot in the past two years, we all see it in our eyes, otherwise our Red Party Central Committee would not have proposed to re-cooperate with Chiang Kai-shek, but there is one thing that Chiang Kai-shek has not changed, that is, character, Liu Yuan himself often says, that is, character determines fate, no matter how Chiang Kai-shek struggles, it is difficult to escape the shackles of fate, just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, although they were strong for a while, but the country is indeed Liu Bang's, Are you right, Comrade Wushan. Zhou Enlai said with a smile.

"Since you are so confident, I will give you a chance, and I will raise your opinion on your willingness to participate in the war in future negotiations, and it will be up to the principal to decide when the time comes." Jiang Xianyun said with a smile.

"Okay, I know that you are very busy, and Chen Geng and I went to rest. It's not good that we spend too much time together, even Liu Yuan will misunderstand. After speaking, he left with Chen Geng.

Jiang Xianyun looked at Zhou Enlai's departure in confusion.

"Director Zhou, I saw your expression a little regretful just now, can I know what Lu Dao asked?" Although Chen Geng is very arrogant on the surface, he is definitely a meticulous person. Zhou Enlai's subtle expression couldn't hide from him.

"I asked Jiang Xianyun to help us talk to Chiang Kai-shek about joining the war against Japan, in fact, I planted a seed in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, that is, Jiang Xianyun's Dabie Mountain Corps, which has a relationship with our Red Party, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely think, if it were not for Jiang Xianyun's support, how could the construction of our Red Party's base area be so fast, and if Jiang Xianyun didn't want to destroy Dabie Mountain, because of this incident, Dabie Mountain would also be destroyed."

"Didn't we hurt Jiang Xianyun, I'm going to stop him." Chen Geng walked back angrily.

But Zhou Enlai called him, "Chen Geng, you are not a child, you should know that this is politics, first of all, Jiang Xianyun has affected the balance between the three parties, and the place of Dabie Mountain is very important, he should not be in the hands of Liu Yuan's faction, so we must let Chiang Kai-shek beat this point no matter what, if we can occupy Dabie Mountain, it will be good." ”
