Chapter 350: Advancing East to Linzi
"Xue Gong, Xiaoliang feels that instead of going south to Tai'an, it is better to go east to Linzi."
Wu Xiaoliang spent a few days in the car to check the map and analyze the shape of Shandong to kill time, at this time Shandong is entrenched in two powerful forces, the first is Zhang Zongchang who occupies the Jiaodong area, although this person has an old relationship with him, but after all, it was more than ten years ago, and strictly speaking the two were still enemies back then, so this person counts as which side to observe, as for the other force, that is, Han Fuyu, the commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army entrenched in the Yimeng generation, since Wu Xiaoliang chose to come to Shandong as the acting chairman, In a sense, it is his natural enemy, and Jinan is in the hands of the Japanese army, and he has been thinking about where to choose a place to stay.
Yucheng, the plain is not a local warlord, how can it be deserted after a long war, and in the north of the Yellow River, away from the hinterland of Shandong, so this is not the best choice, in the end, Wu Xiaoliang will stay on the Jinan Yanjiaoji Railway to the east of Linzi, here is very close to the sea, convenient for the delivery of external supplies, and in the hinterland of Shandong Province, far away from the Northern Expeditionary Army's march route, without the ravages of the north-south melee, the population is dense, the industry, agriculture and commerce are relatively intact, it is really a rare treasure.
Chen Tiaoyuan saw that Wu Xiaoliang unceremoniously vetoed his proposal, but proposed to go to Linzi, his expression was a little embarrassed, but then he laughed again.
"Weizhong's eyes are really like a torch, Linzi was the capital of Qi in ancient times, and it is also suitable to choose here, and when I get to the front station, I will change the track by special train."
Wu Xiaoliang wanted to refuse, but Chen Tiaoyuan insisted again and again, he must be sent to Linzi safely and then return to Nanjing, when passing through Jinan, he personally negotiated with the Japanese who controlled the Jinpu Road, and then transferred to the Jiaoji Railway to Linzi, which made Wu Xiaoliang even more incomprehensible Chen Tiaoyuan, he always felt that this person was lukewarm with himself, but sometimes it seemed like a heart-to-heart friendship, for example, in the matter of going to Linzi, if Chen Tiaoyuan repeatedly insisted on going to Tai'an, Wu Xiaoliang had no way, but he did not insist, Instead, he chose to compromise and actively prepare for the escort.
But after the special train Yanjiaoji Railway passed through Zhoucun and Changshan, Wu Xiaoliang appeared, he estimated the situation in Luzhong and was too optimistic, this year's Shandong is obviously a year of great drought, and the small rivers and ditches that can not be counted should be flowing continuously, but at this time they are all dry and low, and the rice fields in the field are even more listless.
Wu Xiaoliang suddenly remembered a movie about *** he had seen in his previous life, even the daughter of the landlord's family was willing to sell herself for the sake of stuttering, you can imagine that there is no food, what a terrible thing it is for these native farmers, since he has come here, he must not let this kind of tragic and appalling tragedy live.
Just when he was worried that the peasants did not have rain to irrigate their grain, Li Zejun, who was in another carriage, raised his throat in his heart, three or four miles away from the special train, he appeared a horse team, this horse team has been following them for a long time, because the maintenance of the Jiaoji Railway on weekdays is not in place, the car is forced to slow down, and even the horses can catch up, so these people have followed them all the way out of dozens of miles.
It is not clear whether these people are friends or foes, and they do not know who they belong to, but the riding guns they carry on their backs tell everyone that they are well-trained regular troops, not bandits who raid homes and houses.
Fortunately, after these horse teams followed for a while, the war horses did not continue to track due to their poor health, but this still cast an ominous shadow in Li Zejun's heart, in order not to cause unnecessary panic, Li Zejun did not say this, but waited for the situation to unfold, after all, he is a light commander here, except for a few capable guards, most of Wu Xiaoliang's guard members are former military police of the Fengjun Military Police, to be honest, he does not trust these people.
Although these horse teams kept this sufficient distance, Li Zejun was not the only one who were now, Colonel Li came to the carriage where Chen Tiaoyuan and Wu Xiaoliang were, and after saluting the two separately, he lowered down and whispered a few words to Chen Tiaoyuan who was sitting on the sand.
After Wu Xiaoliang heard this, his face immediately became very ugly.
"What is this Liu Zhennian going to do, he should have disarmed him in the first place."
Colonel Li didn't answer, but asked: "If there is nothing else, I will go out first." ”
Who knew that Chen Tiaoyuan rarely pulled him to sit down, "Come, sit down." In Colonel Li's surprised gaze, he continued to smile and said, "Youting, I want you to stay and help Chairman Wu this time, are you willing?" ”
Colonel Li didn't expect that Chen Tiaoyuan would have such a question, and he was stunned for a moment, how could he answer, should he happily agree or refuse, this kind of thing, shouldn't he have communicated with himself in advance, when did Chief Chen be so hasty.
His mind was racing, and he replied: "It's all up to the commander to arrange." ”
Chen Tiaoyuan is his chief officer, he suddenly proposed to leave him by Wu Xiaoliang's side at this time, there are two possibilities: one is to be tempted, the other is to really want to help, at this time the chief officer does not communicate with his subordinates, and suddenly throws out a question, you can see a point of the most true thoughts in his heart when his subordinates are caught off guard, this Colonel Li reacted really quickly, and he didn't show the slightest flaw, after saying a word, in fact, his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"There is a shortage of talents around Chairman Wu Dai, I recommend you to stay, don't let me down." After that, Chen Tiaoyuan turned his head and said to Wu Xiaoliang again: "Weizhong, this Li Youting is a good material, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, it is a pity to stay in my headquarters as a senior staff, he was born with the appearance of leading troops to kill the enemy." ”
It seems to be discussed, but it is a tone and appearance that cannot be refused, to be honest, Wu Xiaoliang has a really good impression of this Colonel Li, no matter where he comes from, staying is definitely a big help for himself.
"Thank you so much, it is none other than Xue Gong to send charcoal in the snow."
Wu Xiaoliang responded, and suddenly remembered the name that Chen Tiaoyuan had just said, and couldn't help asking:
"Who is Liu Zhennian that Xue Gong just said?"
Chen Tiaoyuan showed a rather disdainful expression.
"When I was still in Xuzhou as a town guard, this person was just a regiment commander in Jiaodong, and later the Feng army entered the south, Zhang Zongchang occupied Shandong, and surrendered to the Feng army without a shot, and the dog meat general continued to let him be the head of the regiment, and when the Northern Expedition this year, he was already the division commander with 10,000 soldiers, but since Zhang Zongchang was driven to Jiaodong by Han Fuyu, this person was driven to Changle by Zhang Zongchang, not far from Linzi, you have to be careful of this person in Weizhong."
