Qin Dechun sat in the courtyard of the division headquarters located in the southeast corner of Renqiu City, drinking the "Dragon Well Before the Rain" presented by Chen Shichang, thinking about the scene of seeing Ouyang Yun for the first time, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

The appearance of Ouyang Yun, a young man, was abrupt, to use an inappropriate analogy, it was like a road that had been on the road for an unknown number of years, and suddenly a tiger jumped out of the grass one day. However, I thought it was just a kitten. The 29th Army has evolved to this point, it can be said that most of the responsibility lies with Song Zheyuan, he trusted the generals under his command too much, and as a result, he delegated power to life, and now some people have tasted power, but they will never let go.

The waiting time of more than three hours was really difficult, but fortunately, Qin Dechun was a cultivated person, or he clearly understood the current situation. The Cadet Division is no longer the Cadet Regiment that relegated to the Wanping Barracks, and Ouyang Yun is no longer the hairy young man with a witty face. In this troubled world, the barrel of a gun is dignity and authority, without the barrel of a gun, no matter how big an official you are, if you don't say it well, it's not a fart.

Ouyang Yunfeng walked in from the outside, how could he see the other party, Qin Dechun didn't recognize it for a while. The little white face has become a big man with a black face, his beard is untangled, and his eye sockets are deep, and it can be seen that his master is not having a good time during this time. Also, a division and regiment that uses the strength of a division to deal with little devils will not be easy for anyone.

"Deputy Commander Qin, what kind of wind blew your old man here, rare guest!" Ouyang Yun's tone of voice was different from before, and his tone was not in contrast to his age, but no one felt that this was inappropriate, perhaps, this was worthy of his current identity. Of course, if Qin Dechun often came to see it in private, he would find that Ouyang Yun had another side. At that time, Ouyang Yun was a scoundrel, lazy, greedy, and even a little lustful.

"Senior Ouyang? I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are becoming more and more mature," Qin Dechun stood up, took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand, making sure that the person in front of him was one of the most powerful people in North China at present, and his eyes couldn't help but condense.

"I'm very sorry, it's really a sin to make your old man wait for a long time, Shi Chang, it's not early, prepare dinner, I want to drink two cups with Deputy Qin's seat tonight, and put it in the 'Songyun' restaurant," Ouyang Yun shouted loudly.

Chen Shichang saluted Qin Dechun and walked quickly.

"Don't bother, I have to rush back to Beiping,"

"It's okay, you can listen to me when you come to me," Ouyang Yun asked the others to go down, and then took Qin Dechun to his office.

After Ouyang Yun invited him to sit down, he asked straight to the point while helping him make tea again: "Deputy Commander Qin, you must have something to do with me at this time, right?" ”

Qin Dechun looked at this young man who was about the same age as his own nephews and nephews, and was infected by his capable and confident temperament, and he secretly praised in his heart: No wonder he has the spirit of a tiger king in his body to get to this point! He coughed lightly twice and said, "Ouyang, I will rely on the old man to call you Ouyang." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm happier if you call me that."

Qin Dechun smiled, although the young man in front of him had made a lot of achievements, he was still very modest, which was rare. He said: "I heard that you suffered a lot of casualties this time, and we couldn't help much, so you won't blame us for letting you go head-to-head with the Japanese, right?" ”

Ouyang Yun was stunned for a moment, adjusted his thoughts, he put the teacup in front of him, and said very seriously: "Deputy Commander Qin, you are too polite, your ministry has helped us a lot this time." If it weren't for Division Commander Zhang, Division Commander Feng, and Division Commander Zhao all sending troops, I think our army would have been defeated miserably now, and Ren Qiu would have been lost. Thank you! ”

Qin Dechun's face flushed with a touch of red, Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu really wanted to help the military division when they sent troops, but Feng Zhi'an, the blind man knew what his idea was, and the worst thing was that he was staying in a city with Feng Zhi'an at that time. He woke up and said, "Ouyang, I actually came here this time for this, you don't know what to do, now the 29th Army has started infighting, and it looks like it's about to fall apart." ”

Ouyang Yun naturally knew this, but he pretended not to know what to do, or he didn't care, and said lightly: "No, how could Song Junzuo allow them to do this?" ”

"Commander Song!" Qin Dechun smiled bitterly, because of his feelings, he was not good at criticizing Song Zheyuan in front of an "outsider", but the 29th Army came to this point today, in fact, it was caused by him.

In fact, not only Song Zheyuan, but also Qin Dechun, Zhang Weifan, Tong Linge, and they didn't expect that the 29th Army would come to this point, what is the problem? When did this kind of sign appear, no one knows the way, or just because Ouyang Yun appeared out of thin air.

"Has Commander Song returned from Shandong?"

"I've asked someone to find him, if he doesn't come back, this North China will really change."

"Is it that serious?" Ouyang Yun frowned, he knew history, and there were no such incidents in history.

"Ouyang, help us with the 29th Army."

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Our apprentice division came out of the 29th Army, and the old club naturally can't sit idly by if there is something to do, but my qualifications are too shallow, and the apprentice division will not be in the army for a long time, what can we do?" ”

Qin Dechun looked at him, his eyes were cautious, and he asked after a while, "Do you know Xiao Zhenying?" ”

"Hmm."

"He's Lao Jiang's man."

"Oh?"

"Under his matchmaking, Feng Zhi'an sent a letter to Nanjing, requesting to be included in the Central Army."

Ouyang Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what to do about this situation, and he didn't expect that the fox pupil hadn't detected it, so this should have happened in a very small range. He asked: "Didn't the Hemei Agreement stipulate that the Central Army could not be retained in Hebei, and if the Feng Ministry of Public Security was really merged into the Central Army, wouldn't it be to withdraw from Hebei?" ”

"That's it, but the problem is that the Japanese seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Nanjing this time. Ouyang, I won't hide it from you now, the bargaining chip they exchanged is you Ren Qiu. ”

Ouyang Yun stood up in shock and said, "Won't it?" Could it be that what agreement has been reached between Nanjing and the Japanese side? ”

"Not yet, but I think if we don't take action, then there will be another Ho-Mei agreement in the next step."

"We? Is it appropriate? Ouyang Yun looked at Qin Dechun.

Qin Dechun looked back at him deeply, and that gaze made Ouyang Yun's heart tremble for a moment, remembering the affectionate eyes of a comrade in a certain dim bar. Fortunately, Qin Dechun was not a comrade, and he quickly said something that made Ouyang Yun's heart palpitate.

In the office of the commander of the division of the cadet division, no one knew what Qin Dechun had talked about with Ouyang Yun that day. And the two parties were secretive afterwards, and no one revealed any information, but when Qin Dechun returned to Beiping, a series of changes in the Beiping military government gave curious people reason to believe that the two people had reached some kind of agreement.

Ouyang Yun should be glad that he sent Zhang Zhen to Nanjing in time. No matter how Zhang Zhen did it, anyway, he did not fail in his mission, and brought Lao Jiang's olive leaves and Shangfeng's instructions.

In the middle of the night, Feng Zhi'an and Liu Ruming, including several sworn friends of the two disappeared almost at the same time, and then, Song Zheyuan resolutely promulgated new personnel appointments. Ji Xingwen returned to the 37th Division as the division commander, chairman of the Chahar Provincial Government, and commander of security, while Xiao Zhenying served as the commander of the 143rd Division. Most of the 143rd Division was transferred to Anhui to accept the reorganization of Nanjing; The 37th Division moved to Zhangjiakou in Chahar; The Cadet Division was stationed in Wanping, and the Teaching Brigade directly under the Military Headquarters of the 29th Army was expanded to the 143rd Division, which was responsible for the defense of Beiping, and after absorbing a brigade of the 37th Division, a brigade of the 38th Division, and a brigade of the 143rd Division, it became a supernumerary division with four brigades.

Zhao Dengyu and his 132nd Division did not participate in this adjustment, of course, the benefits are indispensable to him, the first Ordnance Factory that originally belonged to the 29th Army will be moved to Langfang and become the arsenal directly under the 132nd Division.

This is a bloody military and political transaction, and a discerning person can see at a glance that the apprentice division led by Ouyang Yun and the Renqiu government have benefited a lot. Not only did he get a place in Chahar, but even the gateway to Beiping like Wanping was taken down. Of course, if people have time to stay and observe in Daliuhe Town, on the border between Tianjin and Wen'an, they will find a strange scene, almost for more than two months, from the direction of Wen'an to the defense of the 38th Division in the suburbs of Tianjin, a steady stream of supplies were being delivered. This is the compensation of the cadet division to the 38th division.

The 29th Army commanded the operation by Qin Dechun, among them, Zhang Weifan and Tong Linge also participated. Their actions were very stealthy, and just when Tu Feiyuan had just sensed a little rumor, the overall situation was decided.

The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to bring Wanping over was for no other reason, the Lugou Bridge, where the Qiqi Incident took place, was in the west of Wanping City, and he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he really didn't feel at ease to hand over such an important town to others.

When Zhao Dengyu learned that Feng Zhi'an was missing and the 37th Division had changed hands, he was stunned for a long time before he woke up, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out. He thought that Feng Zhi'an must have been harmed by the two bastards, Ouyang Yun and Qin Dechun, and remembered the friendship between the two, and at first he almost thought of the soldiers to avenge him.

Ouyang Yun knew the relationship between Zhao Dengyu and Feng Zhi'an, and as early as when he agreed with Qin Dechun Dacheng, he hoped that Qin Dechun could give Zhao Dengyu a reasonable explanation. So the day after Feng Zhi'an's disappearance, Qin Dechun personally came to Langfang to visit Zhao Dengyu. After seeing Zhao Dengyu, he ignored the other party's eyes that were almost spitting knives, stuffed a document bag into his hand, and said, "Take a look, if you still want to kill me after reading it, I won't resist." And when he had said this, he went out of the house, sat down on the steps, and looked up at the passing of the clouds.

The bag contained an agreement reached between Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming, and Tu Feiyuan, and the witnesses were Takahashi Tan and Pan Hanmin. In the agreement, the two sides reached a consensus on three issues, first of all, the post of commander of the 29th Army will be held by Feng Zhi'an, and then the question of the ownership of Renqiu, where the Japanese will take over and build a special economic zone, and the last is the position of the two sides in the future: Tufeiyuan guarantees that the Japanese will not send troops to the territory controlled by the 29th Army, and the 29th Army must not prevent the Japanese army from sending troops to other places under its control.

After reading this agreement, Zhao Dengyu was like a frosted eggplant, and the anger that once filled almost every pore of his body turned into cold sweat. The next moment, when Lu saw Qin Dechun again, he cried like a child: "What are they doing this?!" ”

Qin Dechun couldn't answer this question, he could only say: "The road is chosen by themselves, and this evil fruit should also be tasted by themselves." Deng Yu, I and the military seat are old, and the future of the 29th Army still depends on you, you must take care! - By the way, except for me, Junzuo and Ouyang Yun, no one else knows anything about this document. ”

After shedding tears for a while, Zhao Dengyu gradually calmed down, and then he thought of another question - why would the military department choose to cooperate with Ouyang Yun instead of directly ordering it to himself, he asked: "Do you think that I will still care about personal feelings in the face of major rights and wrongs?" If that's the case, when Chief Feng sends troops to Xiongxian County, I just need to sit and watch the excitement. ”

It's another question that Qin Dechun can't answer, because he can't say that we don't believe you anymore at that time.

Zhao Dengyu also vaguely guessed the answer, he said: "That's it, but how can you let Ji Xingwen return to the 37th Division as the division commander, in this way, isn't the 37th Division indirectly given to Ouyang Yun again?" ”

"Because Ouyang Yun promised to give us this amount of military expenses every year," Qin Dechun spread his right hand.

"Half a million?"

"No, it's five million."

"Five million?! Oh my God, the military budget allocated to us by the young marshal for the construction of the army was only 500,000? Zhao Dengyu's mouth opened wide, and he almost wondered if Ouyang Yun's words were nonsense.

"There are only two million in cash, and the other three million are all covered by armaments. I am in charge of the Quartermaster Department, and Chahar's annual income is only half of this figure, so in that case, we should sell the 37th Division. ”

"Our 29th Army's veteran powerhouse!" Zhao Dengyu shook his head and sighed, although he knew that from a business point of view, he had actually made money, but after all, this was an army, and there was a territory as big as Chahar!
