Chapter 136: The Teacher's Persuasion
The Gannan Army, which is located on the border between Anzhou and Ningzhou, has been having a hard time recently. The supply of materials sent from the rear is always intermittent, so that these border defenders, who are already on high alert, have to guard against the sneak attack of the revolutionary army on the opposite side, but also to guard against being copied back. This kind of life with wolves and tigers in front of you is indeed a bit scary.
In the midst of this tense defense, Zhang Feilong, the main commander of the front-line defense force, came to the command of Zhang Feilong, who had not seen him for some years. Faced with the alumnus's visit, Zhang Feilong seemed a little surprised, but when he heard that the other party had brought a private message from the instructor, Zhang Feilong undoubtedly seemed very happy.
As an officer from Gannan, he was able to enter the military academy because he was escorted by the Gannan Army, but in the school, whether in study or life, he was selflessly taken care of by Situ Baili, the hometown principal. So much so that when he graduated from the military academy, he relied on his solid military quality and command ability, and finally grew into the main commander of the Gannan Army today.
Because he has been staying at the border recently, Zhang Feilong didn't know that Situ Baili had been dismissed from the Longcheng Military Academy, so much so that when he asked the visiting alumnus, Situ Baili was doing well at the military academy. Hearing that he was dismissed by the current president because of the teacher's suggestion, Situ Baili was really angry.
When he heard that Situ Baili had returned to Gannan and was now living in seclusion in his hometown in Anzhou, Zhang Feilong, who had not seen Situ Baili for many years, his first reaction was to meet the teacher and thank him for his teaching and care at the military academy.
But Wei Qingshan, an alumnus who was born as an orphan and entered the military academy, has been with the principal all the time, suddenly said: "Senior Brother Zhang, I think at this time, as the head of the regiment, it is inconvenient for you to go out, right?" And I came today to bring with me a letter from my teacher. Isn't it strange that I haven't written to you until now? ”
Hearing Wei Qingshan say this, Zhang Feilong thought of the current situation in Anzhou, and said with a surprised expression: "Could it be that the things in Anzhou have something to do with the teacher now?" ”
Regarding Zhang Feilong's awakening, Wei Qingshan nodded and said: "Although he didn't hit, it was not unreasonable, before the teacher wrote this letter, he was just a bystander. But to write this letter to you means that he is on board. And you don't know, what was the first thing the teacher encountered when he came back, right? ”
When Zhang Feilong's curiosity was aroused, Wei Qingshan told Zhang Feilong about Situ Qingyun. Hearing that the teacher's daughter-in-law died tragically at the hands of Gan Nanjun, and that the other party almost robbed the teacher's village to take revenge, Zhang Feilong didn't know where to put his face.
If it weren't for Situ Baili's teachings, he wouldn't be where he is today. But as a disciple, he didn't even know about this, what kind of face did he have to face this teacher when this was spread? What face to see, former comrades-in-arms of the military academy?
When Wei Qingshan told him without concealing that it was the teacher's son, Situ Qingyun, the little monkey he had also seen, who led a group of people to capture Shui'an City. Zhang Feilong knew that the teacher must have a certain intention in sending this personal disciple.
And he didn't have to read the letter to know what would be in it, but he went to military school back then. To a large extent, it was also funded by Ning Qingyuan, the governor of the Gannan Army. Without the Governor's financial support, how could he, a child from a poor family, get this kind of treatment to go to Longcheng to study at a military academy?
Just when Zhang Feilong was caught in the entanglement between reason and faith, Wei Qingshan spoke again: "Senior Brother Zhang, let me ask you a word before the teacher comes. If you really feel embarrassed, then you don't have to give this letter to the teacher, and he won't make you feel that what you are doing is unfaithful or unjust.
As he was leaving, let me ask you if you remember what your teacher said to you when you left school. If you remember and feel that what you are doing now is also moving towards this goal. So I'm just going to visit you today, not to bring you any letter from my teacher.
It's just that after I leave, I'm afraid we'll be on the battlefield. The teacher sent me over this time, and the bigger meaning was that he didn't want to let the children of Gannan be killed on the battlefield. If it weren't for the stability of the people of Anzhou, you would have been unable to hold the border with your current situation. ”
Zhang Feilong, who was shocked by Wei Qingshan's words, quickly remembered that when he left school in tears, Situ Baili found him alone and told him to do more things that are beneficial to his hometown after returning to Gannan, and be a soldier who can protect his hometown from the wind and rain. This is in vain in the military academy, and he carefully taught the knowledge of combat command.
Thinking about it now, Zhang Feilong found that he had stabilized in the Gannan Army, although he was promoted step by step to the current position of regiment commander. But the current situation of Gan Nanjun is really not what he expected. He couldn't manage the other officers, and he couldn't manage them. At least all he can do is have a clear conscience in the regimental department. But if you want to keep the people safe, Zhang Feilong asked himself if he didn't do it.
As an officer from Gannan, he was actually disgusted from the bottom of his heart by the Gannan Army's increasingly perverse tax and conscription policy. But in the face of the advance of the revolutionary army, the warlords around Gannan are eyeing each other. If there are no soldiers and no money, how can you defend Gannan?
It was only out of this understanding that Zhang Feilong was not used to what those Gannan Army generals did, but he could only remain silent. As much as possible, tell your officers and soldiers not to do anything that hurts their hometown. Because of this, he was also regarded by many colleagues in the army as a fake villain.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feilong said with some difficulty: "Can you tell me, which side does the teacher represent now?" ”
Wei Qingshan knew that Zhang Feilong had already made a decision, and said with a smile: "If I revealed so much about you just now, you still don't know who the opponent is. Then you are really not wronged at all when you lose in their hands. Do you know that on the opposite side of your defensive position, at least a force of 3,000 men has been hidden? But you, as the head of the regiment, didn't even notice it at all. ”
In front of his defensive position, there was a troop of 3,000 people hidden, and this news really scared Zhang Feilong. If Wei Qingshan hadn't told him, it is estimated that he really didn't know that the troops that annihilated a defender and a regiment of reinforcements that day had already opened their blood in the dark at this time, and were ready to give them a fatal blow at any time? So who will this opponent be?
After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly thought that when they were fighting with the revolutionary army that day, an offensive and defensive battle was also staged in Linzhou Mansion next to Anzhou Mansion. I just want to compare them with the revolutionary army, and fight for half a catty, but the army of Linzhou Mansion has firmly slapped the revolutionary army in the face.
had to pay a high ransom, and in addition to redeeming more than 10,000 troops, he also took the weapons and equipment of a main division. So judging from these things, Zhang Feilong felt a little incredulous and said: "You mean, it was Xu Jiajun who caused the Anzhou chaos recently?" No matter what the teacher says, he is also a general, how can he join the Xu family's army? ”
Regarding Zhang Feilong's surprise, Wei Qingshan shook his head and said: "Maybe it's really the authorities who are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear." Do you know that Xu Jiajun's current strength can be said to be no worse than that of Gannan Army. Even in terms of weaponry and the quality of officers and men, they are a step above the Gannan Army. The most important reason why teachers are willing to join is that they have the support of the people of Gannan.
In your opinion, those bandits who are causing trouble in all directions, how many times have you heard of them harming the people? The scourge of these bandits is not the local tyrant and inferior gentry who are hated by the local people? It wasn't a bandit at all, but a well-organized and well-trained Xu Jiajun.
At the same time, after the start of the Central Plains War, the Xu family army has begun to formulate campaign preparations to recover the entire territory of Gannan, but you are still in the dark. If it weren't for the fact that Anzhou would have fallen into the hands of the revolutionary army, the Xu Jiajun would have launched an attack on you a long time ago.
The reason why they are not attacking now is that they don't want to do cannibalism, and secondly, they want to kill less and preserve more vitality for the people of Anzhou. You have also known the teacher, you should know that in the teacher's heart, in fact, he has always hoped that Longhua can be unified and the people can live a peaceful life.
But you see, the teacher has taught us disciples with great pleasure, but what are we all doing? What even saddened the teacher was that many of our brothers and sisters were involved in the ongoing Central Plains War. With the ability taught by the teacher, he did things like cannibalism between his brothers and sisters. Do you think that's what teachers want to see? ”
After listening to Wei Qingshan's heartfelt outpouring, Zhang Feilong knew that this was not false. This teacher, who is serious in the classroom, cares for them in private. If it really appears, this kind of brother and sister battlefield catch and tear is undoubtedly the most unbearable pain in his heart as a teacher.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feilong finally gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Brother Wei, give me the teacher's letter!" ”
Wei Qingshan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang has decided? You know, after reading this letter, you have no way out. ”
Zhang Feilong faced Wei Qingshan's smile and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I still have a choice now?" Regardless of what is written in the teacher's letter, at least I know one thing. That is, Yu Qi let Anzhou fall into the hands of those Nanbin Yankees, and I would rather give him to Xu Jiajun. At least I know that there are many people in Anzhou and Ningzhou at present, and they are envious of the life of the people in Linzhou. No matter how I say it, I am also a child of Gannan, and I also hope that the people in my hometown can live better. Isn't it? ”
When he got the letter written by the teacher, Zhang Feilong quickly opened it and saw that the teacher on it was still caring and asked him about his life and family situation. Zhang Feilong seems to have seen the scene of this teacher taking good care of him back then. This kind of care, which is different from his relatives and superiors, is what he has always missed after graduating from the military academy! Now that he feels it again, he feels so good!
