The Yellow River rolls and the waves turn, and the cowhide raft is used as a steamer. This is talking about the traffic situation in the Shanxi section of the Yellow River at that time. In ancient times, there was a bridge between the mountains and Shaanxi, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the war, and it has not been repaired for several generations, and the people can only rely on rafts to come and go.

In the middle of the river, a big wave slashed at each other, and the small raft was almost overturned by the soft. Most of the people on the boat were landlubbers, and they were so frightened that they screamed. The old boatman has been through turmoil for a long time, and naturally his face has not changed. The old man looked back and smiled: "Don't be afraid, dolls, there is an old man who can't capsize the boat!" ”

Wei Lihuang and the others laughed when they heard Ha Lu and Ha Da Lu, and their nervous mood relaxed slightly. The commander-in-chief said: "Old man, the Yellow River boatman song is famous all over the world, why don't you sing us a tune!" ”

The old boatman said, "The dolls don't think the old man sings badly, so the old man sings a paragraph." "I really roared when I said it:

Do you know how many bays there are in the Yellow River in the world? Dozens of bays, dozens of boats?

How many boats, dozens of rods? Dozens of those captains came to move the boat?

I know that there are ninety-nine bays of the Yellow River in the world, and there are ninety-nine boats in the ninety-nine bays.

Ninety-nine boats, ninety-nine rods, ninety-nine captains came to move the boats.

……

The commander-in-chief was very moved by the desolate and simple singing of the old man of the boat, and said: "The Yellow River is the mother river of our China, and it is also a barrier against foreign aggression in the past. If we want to win, we must first protect the Yellow River! ”

Zheng Weiguo remembered a sentence and said: "The Yellow River defends North China, and the headquarters defends the Yellow River!" ”

The commander-in-chief hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I alone cannot defend the Yellow River, let alone save China." To protect the country and preserve the seeds, it is necessary for thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to unite in order to achieve victory. ”

Chief of Staff Guo said: "Now it is none other than the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that are in charge of the overall situation, and as long as the general seat can reach a consensus with Mr. Mao of the Communist Party during this trip, there will be hope for North China!" ”

The commander-in-chief said with great expectations: "If this can be done, Wei has no regrets in his life!" ”

Having said that, Wei Lihuang was still quite apprehensive in his heart, mainly because he fought too hard in the civil war and had too deep a tie with Liangzi on the Yan'an side. Especially after the Jinzhai was broken, his subordinate Jiang Fusheng carried out an inhumane massacre of the families of the Red Army, from the elderly to the children. The state is so miserable that it is rare throughout the millennium. Although this move was not instructed by Wei Lihuang, as a direct boss, it is difficult to escape the blame.

It is precisely because of such a public case that there are also different opinions within Yan'an about Wei Lihuang's visit, especially the cadres from Hubei, Henan and Anhui who do not understand it. Fortunately, Wei Lihuang cooperated well with the Eighth Road some time ago, and he was very resolute in resisting Japan, and won the recognition of many high-level leaders in Yan'an. In the interaction with the 129th Division (formerly known as the Red Fourth Front Army that started in Hubei, Henan and Anhui), Wei Lihuang also tried his best to improve relations and try to resolve his previous grudges.

Before the Jinnan War, the 18th Group Army's office in Linfen was not far from the headquarters of the 14th Group Army, and Wei Lihuang often went to chat with the generals of the Eighth Route Army here.

Once, Wei Lihuang chatted with Xu Xiangqian (then deputy commander of the 129th Division and former commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army), and Wei Lihuang said: "When it comes to fighting, it's up to you." ”

Xu Xiangqian hurriedly said: "Commander-in-Chief Wei is okay, you will be counted in the national army." ”

Wei Lihuang said: "Don't say that. That year, when I led the 14th Army to Hubei, Henan and Anhui, I made a light enemy attack, and the military headquarters was surrounded by you, and everyone was shouting 'capture Wei Lihuang alive' all over the mountains, if the situation had not changed, I would have been caught by you in another 200 meters. After that, the two of them laughed. It is precisely because of the efforts of both sides that this trip to Yan'an took place.

Kunlun made the last decision: "In any case, starting from the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, winning over an important Kuomintang general like General Wei will have an important impact on the entire situation of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so we must adopt a positive attitude, understand it with reason, move it with emotion, and try to win him over." At the same time, Wei Lihuang was the deputy commander of the Second Theater and the superior of our 18th Group Army. Considering the relationship between the higher and lower levels, if we can win their support for our army, it will be of great benefit to our army's situation and to the anti-Japanese base areas in North and Northwest China. Therefore, the welcome must be grand and warm, and the standard of hospitality must be high. This person has a very high official spirit and a very elegant life, so we should pay attention to etiquette and take good care of his life, so that he can feel the sincerity of our party. (Note: Historical Words)

After stepping on the ground in northern Shaanxi, Yan'an received Wei Lihuang and his entourage with a very high standard. After crossing the Yellow River, there will be a convoy to pick up, pass through Yanshui Pass, Yanchuan, and go straight to Yan'an. Thirty miles away from Yan'an City, slogans such as "Strengthen the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party," "Unite to resist Japan," and "Welcome Deputy Commander Wei" can be seen everywhere on colored paper.

Outside the city of Yan'an, you can see the welcoming procession lined up on both sides of the road from a distance. As soon as the convoy arrived, the welcoming team beat gongs and drums and shouted slogans. Seeing such a grand welcome scene, Wei Lihuang and others were deeply moved.

The convoy stopped, Wei Lihuang and others got out of the car, Teng Daiyuan (then chief of staff of the 18th Group Army), Xiao Jinguang (then director of the Northern Shaanxi Detention Office), Jin Cheng (director of the communication department Jincheng) and others hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and then walked together to the large hall in the city that had already been cleaned up. Although Zheng Weiguo had seen a lot of bigwigs before he crossed over, they were all when he was on a mission, and he really hadn't experienced such an occasion. In particular, to meet the legendary god of mortal bodies, Kunlun, made him both curious and nervous.

Just thinking about it, Kunlun had already walked out of the living room to greet him, and shook hands with Wei Lihuang and the others one by one to show his welcome. Compared with the photos, he looks a little thin, but he is very energetic and extraordinary.

While shaking hands, Chief of Staff Teng and the others introduced Kunlun at the same time, and what embarrassed Zheng Weiguo was that the introduction list had been passed by since Chief of Staff Guo Jiqiao and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Wen Dynasty. What's the situation? I am also a famous general of the national army, Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart.

Fortunately, Kunlun still stretched out his hand and shook hands with them one by one. Kunlun's hands are large and thick. When shaking hands with Zheng Weiguo, Kunlun looked a little surprised, and suddenly asked, "Little comrade, where are you from?" ”

Zheng Weiguo was stunned and said, "Chairman, I am from Liaoyang in Northeast China!" ”

Kunlun said: "Good! The heroes outside the customs are worthy of their reputation. ”

When they arrived in the living room, everyone greeted each other again. Zheng Weiguo was very low-key, and chose an inconspicuous place behind Wei Lihuang to sit down. Anyway, I don't want to be in the limelight now, it's better if no one pays attention, and I'm happy to be a good listener.

After the greetings, Wei Lihuang praised the Eighth Route Army and said: "Your army fought very well against Japan, and Lihuang admires it very much. It is a great honor to come to Yan'an today and have the opportunity to listen to teaching. (Original Words of History)

Kunlun said with a smile: "General Wei is the first theater commander to go to Yan'an, he is resolute in resisting Japan, and he is friendly and cooperative with the Eighth Route Army, and we must continue to walk along such a road." (Original Words of History)

Later, he spoke of the importance of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, saying: "At present, there are capitulationist activities at home and abroad, and this is a great danger, and we who are determined to resist Japan must not ignore this, and we must turn the one-sided war of resistance into an all-out war of resistance." In order to resist the war, there are many places in politics that need to be reformed, and there is also the possibility of reform. (Original Words of History)

Speaking of this, Kunlun changed his words and made a comprehensive analysis of the Japanese army's combat attempts in Shanxi: "The current war of resistance in Shanxi is very important, if it were not for all of us dragging the tail of the Japanese army in Shanxi, the Japanese army crossed the Yellow River from Fengling, seized Chengguan, and cut off the Longhai line, which would have cut off the international route between China and the Soviet Union and further pressured China to surrender." We judged that the Japanese army was about to occupy Xuzhou in the near future. (Original Words of History)

This prediction is indeed very accurate, and I have to admit that Kunlun's grasp of the overall situation of history was unmatched at that time. Not only Wei Lihuang and others were shocked when they heard this, but even Zheng Weiguo, a well-known historical person, was very admired.

As the talks gradually entered Hong Kong, the two sides began to discuss substantive issues, such as territorial demarcation, military cooperation, and so on. After that, Kunlun said to Wei Lihuang very solemnly: "The Eighth Route Army went deep behind enemy lines and killed the enemy bravely, but there were also many difficulties. First, the consumption of ammunition is large, how can you hit the enemy without bullets? It needs to be supplemented; Second, there is a lack of medical and health equipment, and I hope that Deputy Commander Wei will help urge the competent authorities. Also, it's almost summer now, and there is no shadow of summer clothes, so I don't know why. ”

Wei Lihuang hurriedly said: "Mr. Mao, please rest assured, Lihuang will definitely get these things done after he goes back." "Commander-in-Chief Wei is a man of his word, and after he went back, he really got a lot of military funds to Balu. I'll leave it here for now, and we'll talk about it in more detail later.

After the talks, Wei Lihuang and his entourage were arranged in the Catholic Church, the best house in Yan'an City. This church was built by foreigners, located in the northeast of the intersection of Yan'an City, with a brick structure with floors and exquisite equipment. In order to do a good job in catering, the Yan'an side also deliberately transferred the best cooks, the cooks of the government cooperatives, to the guest house of the Central Organization Department, so that the service personnel could deliver hot dishes to the tables in the church in a timely manner.

Zheng Weiguo did not have this blessing, when he entered the city, he deliberately let the reinforcement company be stationed outside the city, and Director Xiong and Zhang Changgui were in charge. Director Xiong's background is complicated, Zhang Changgui's personality is rough, and Zheng Weiguo is really a little worried. So after the talks, he hurriedly said goodbye to Wei Lihuang and the others and went to the military camp outside the city, for fear that there would be chaos here.

After they left, Chief of Staff Teng and the others hurriedly asked Kunlun what his impression of Wei Lihuang was. Kunlun replied with a smile: "He is a general who is bent on resisting the war, and he can actively fight for it." If the chairman of the committee does not get in the way, a major event in North China will be a success! He also sighed with emotion: "Commander-in-Chief Wei's subordinates are really talented, and an adjutant is also extraordinary!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Which adjutant?" ”

Kunlun gestured and said, "Bearded, also big, follow behind Deputy Chief of Staff Wen." ”

Director Xiao said curiously: "What's extraordinary, if you want to say that it comes out of the face, I don't believe it!" ”

Kunlun smiled: "If you don't believe it, this can only be understood but not spoken." ”

Director Xiao said: "Chairman, then I will arrange someone to check and see what the source is?" ”

Ni, the chief of staff of the 129th Division, who had just returned from the front line to report on his work, said weakly: "Uh, chairman, that big man is not an adjutant, he is the commander of the 33rd Division. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Chief of Staff Teng slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Chief of Staff Ni said aggrievedly: "You didn't ask me either!" I thought you did it on purpose! ”

Chief of Staff Teng said dejectedly: "It's really rude not to even say hello, wouldn't it be unjust if this matter affected the cooperation?" Chairman, it's all my fault for not doing a good job, please punish me! ”

Kunlun waved his hand and said, "The 33rd Division, is it the 33rd Division that fought in Taiyuan!" ”

Chief of Staff Ni hurriedly said: "Yes, Chairman! This Zheng Weiguo is very interesting, at the end of last year, when he was still a security chief, he sent us a large number of supplies and munitions, a total of dozens of cars, and he has been supporting us since then. If it weren't for the division commander of the Kuomintang that he became in, I would have thought he was an underground party! Ha Luha laughed as he spoke. The crowd was overjoyed and laughed.

Kunlun pondered for a moment and said to Chief of Staff Teng: "You go and make arrangements, this person has to meet alone!" Then he said to the people, "Today's events must be kept strictly secret, and no one is allowed to spread them!" ”
