Lu Zhaopeng ate Heiwa's makeshift meal, and simply introduced the news of the liberation of Xi'an. Heiwa didn't seem surprised, but said lightly: "I don't know if you don't come!" It's less than a hundred miles away from Xi'an, and no one has informed us, so Xu ran away by himself. Lu Zhaopeng said frankly: "Heiwa uprising!"

Heiwa repeated the phrase "uprising" almost without thinking. His tone seemed calm, neither enthusiastic and unrestrained, nor cowering helplessness. Lu Zhaopeng was very emotionally dissatisfied, and incited: "You have long shouted that there is a 'wind and snow' on the plain, and now it is the day of this 'wind and snow', why don't I listen to your tone?" Heiwa still said calmly: "Whether you cut your strength or not, you don't have to look at the kung fu on your mouth." Then he introduced Lu Zhaopeng to the deployment of the security team. Heiwa's own third battalion was an artillery battalion, stationed at Guguanyukou, the farthest east of the county, and was originally intended to intercept the communist army from attacking the county seat from the mountain. The second battalion is an infantry battalion, stationed at the junction of the east of the county and Guguanyukou, and is the second line of defense against the communist army attacking the county. The first battalion was stationed inside and outside the county city wall, which was the royal forest army to protect the county government, and it was also the last line of defense. Heiwa further introduced the relationship in the security regiment: Jiao Zhenguo, the commander of the second battalion, and he are also sworn brothers, good people, and it is estimated that he is seventy percent sure, that is, if he is not willing to cause trouble, it will not be bad; Bai Xiaowen, the commander of the first battalion of the Royal Forest Army, although he also had a friendship with him, he was the confidant of Commander Zhang, and I am afraid that there is only a possibility of an incident. Lu Zhaopeng couldn't wait to ask: "How sure is that head Zhang?" Heiwa said frankly: "The head of the regiment is difficult to estimate. ”

In terms of the specific method of instigating the uprising of the security group, the two coincide, in fact, this is a natural and simple choice that can be made according to the situation introduced by Heiwa. Lu Zhaopeng said: "Let's contact the second battalion commander first, if the second battalion commander is willing to make trouble, the filial piety of the remaining battalion will be easy to handle." He was willing to do it, and if he didn't, he picked up his Imperial Guards. Heiwa made a small addition to this plan: "If Xiaowen is willing to make trouble, Head Zhang will no longer be a problem; If Xiaowen can't make sense, he and Captain Zhang will be picked up first. If you pinch the ears of grain, isn't it easy to cut the stalks?" Lu Zhaopeng had already eaten and drunk, and hurriedly asked: "Let's go find the second battalion commander, without further ado." Heiwa said steadily: "You don't have to negotiate with the second battalion commander, and when you have a showdown with Xiaowen, you will go out." I'll ride to the second camp, and you can squint for a while to relieve your fatigue. ”

It's a triumphant journey. Today's victory is as reasonable as the hardships, twists, turns, and desolation of more than ten or twenty years. Lu Zhaopeng listened to Heiwa's care and lay on the bed, his head snored as soon as he hit the pillow, and the adventures he had experienced over the decades had honed his temperament, and he could seize all the short opportunities to fall asleep. He opened his eyes when he heard the sound of horse boots, and saw a man in the same costume standing next to Heiwa, and concluded that the purpose of planning the second battalion had been achieved, so he turned over from the bed and jumped down to shake hands with the man: "Comrade Jiao Zhenguo, I can definitely call you that." At this moment, the phone rang, and Heiwa answered the phone just as Xiaowen called, asking Heiwa if there was a ring in Xi'an City? Heiwa hesitated and glanced at Lu Zhaopeng. Lu Zhaopeng whispered: "Just lure him over." Heiwa said mysteriously into the microphone: "I heard the news that it is not accurate, you come over and let's talk about it face to face." Heiwa put down the microphone and looked nervous: "This hammer is smashed loudly or not, I don't dare to take insurance." Jiao Zhenguo said: "You talk to him first, and if you can't say it, I'll pick him up." Lu Zhaopeng nodded and said, "That's it." Camp Commander Jiao and I avoided it first. Heiwa said, "No." All three of us sat in front of each other. That person is very smart, and he must understand it at a glance when he sees the posture we are posing, maybe it's easier to say. Jiao Zhenguo was very calm and concise: "Huh! As long as he enters this door, it is easy to agree or not. ”

The clatter of riding boots stopped abruptly the moment the door opened. Bai Xiaowen pushed the door in, stood in the door and couldn't lift his feet anymore, and his face turned yellow suddenly. The development of events corresponded to Heiwa's estimate, and the best ending was easily chosen among the best and worst estimates. Bai Xiaowen first saw the second battalion commander Jiao Zhenguo and immediately became suspicious, Heiwa did not mention the second battalion commander on the phone, and the second battalion commander here foreshadowed some kind of conspiracy; When he caught a glimpse of the strange officer sitting on the other side of Heiwa and quickly identified Lu Zhaopeng, he froze at the door. Lu Zhaopeng stood up and walked to the door: "Do you remember the stupid thing about the three of us cutting willow sticks for Mr. Xu in the willow forest?" The stick we cut hit all three of us on the head as soon as we hit it. Bai Xiaowen smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I understand what you are doing here." Then he shook Zhaopeng's hand, "I'm thinking about this in my heart!" I really didn't expect you to come back to our county. You're here for a good time!" Bai Xiaowen further confirmed: "I called Heiwa just to discuss this matter, we can't go all the way to the end!" Heiwa and Jiao Zhenguo stood up one after another, and the arms of the four of them wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders to reach a tacit understanding.

Bai Xiaowen said: "I said it clearly, Zhaoqian, you and I are sworn brothers with Zhenguo, you first called Zhenguo before telling me, not to mention whether you have a card in my heart, you always look down on me." Heiwa couldn't speak for a while. Jiao Zhenguo covered up and said: "I stabbed Zhaoqian first when I started the incident. Lu Zhaopeng said: "There is always a problem of saying first and then speaking, if you are the last one to say to Jiao Zhenguo, he will also feel that he looks down on him, right?" Now let's talk about the uprising!" Bai Xiaowen said: "This thing is foolproof. I sent troops to arrest the regiment commander, county magistrate, and secretary first, and it was over. Lu Zhaopeng said: "Let your subordinates jam the city gate, and let them escape." The key is the head of the security regiment. Xiaowen and Zhenguo went to do it, salute first and then soldiers, mobilize him to revolt together, and it is not too late to start arresting if it doesn't make sense. Yue Weishan is my old friend, I want to see him, let Heiwa lead me to visit. Heiwa said, "You go out, you wait here, lest you make a mistake." ”

Lu Zhaopeng sat on the chair and waited, his heart was irrepressibly excited but not confused, and his mind began to think about what to say best when he saw Yue Weishan. Gunshots rang out and then gunshots, and then there was no more sound, and he couldn't figure out if there was evil hidden in the guns. He quickly jumped out of the house and asked the Tuan Ding standing guard what had happened, and Tuan Ding shook his head in horror and said that he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't guess it. Lu Zhaopeng suddenly realized that the plan he had just planned was too simple, and even had serious omissions, which could lead to another bad ending; After Xiaowen went out, if he didn't go to deal with the head of the regiment, but suddenly attacked Heiwa and Jiao Zhenguo? The gunshots rang out twice just now. He went to a hidden place on the side of the wall of the room and pretended to pee, ready for the worst. Several regiments hurriedly came over, and it seemed that there was still a person in tow, and they threw it down with a thud. Lu Zhaopeng saw Bai Xiaowen and Jiao Zhenguo walking to the door, so he walked over with a relaxed heart, and saw a dead body thrown under the brick steps at the door. Bai Xiaowen said: "I picked him up. Lu Zhaopeng asked, "Who did you pick up?" Bai Xiaowen said: "Commander, who else can you pick up?" Lu Zhaopeng asked: "Does he refuse to accept the uprising or rebel?" Bai Xiaowen said impatiently: "He giggled and couldn't make up his mind." Who still has the heart to entangle him at this time!" Lu Zhaopeng said: "Forget it if you kill it, what are you dragging the corpse to get here?" Xiaowen said lightly: "Please verify your body!"

The three of them sat down in the room again, and Jiao Zhenguo talked about the conversation with Head Zhang. As soon as Head Zhang saw him and Bai Xiaowen enter the door, he blinked his eyes, and asked suspiciously: "What's the important situation, you two will come together?" It is said that neither of them should have come at this time, and should have been stationed on the position. Bai Xiaowen said: "Xi'an has been liberated, let's revolt!" Head Zhang opened his mouth and didn't speak, sweating all over his face, blinking his eyes more frequently, and finally giggling and saying, "If you want to make trouble, I won't stop it." For the sake of many years of friendship, let me return to my hometown to relieve my armor and farm. Before Jiao Zhenguo could say a word, Bai Xiaowen's gunshot had already sounded, hitting Captain Zhang's left chest. Head Zhang bent down suddenly, covered his chest with both hands, and raised his head for a long time to stare at Bai Xiaowen tightly. Bai Xiaowen shot another shot at Captain Zhang's face, and Commander Zhang quickly fell down like a lonely wall......

At this time, Heiwa came in with Yue Weishan.

Lu Zhaopeng was still thinking about how the face of the head of the regiment Zhang who was hit head-on by Xiaowen would be peeled and torn, and he was still thinking about whether there was a need to put this shot head-on, and suddenly saw Yue Weishan standing in the open place of the room with his arms tied behind his back. Yue Weishan also looked old, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead were no longer fine and became thick and deep, the navy blue tunic was pulled by hemp rope no longer properly, and the parted hair was already thinning and disordered, only the eyes were slightly frustrated, but there was no trace of fear. He stood quietly in the middle of the room, his calm eyes and calm face showing his confidence. Lu Zhaopeng was still sitting firmly on the chair, his arms resting on the railings on the left and right sides of the chair, his fingers crossed and motionless. When Yue Weishan first entered the door, he rolled his eyes and glanced at it, and then just sat still. It is meaningless to say arrogant and contemptuous words to this person, and it is difficult to make people feel the joy of revenge in any kind of revenge, and the regime to which this person is loyal to him is irretrievably finished, but it is difficult to calm down his emotions without saying a word, after all, he has been fighting with him for more than 20 years! Lu Zhaopeng got up from the chair, slowly walked to Yue Weishan, and stared at those eyes. Yue Weishan was not afraid or evasive, staring at Zhaopeng calmly, his two pairs of eyes facing each other like that. Lu Zhaopeng pursed his lips and said, "I used to put a price of 1,000 yuan in your hand, but now you are not worth even a penny in my hand." The muscles on Yue Weishan's cheeks twitched. Lu Zhaopeng turned around and threw out a heavy sentence: "You are cheaper than me!"

Heiwa asked, "I'll lock him up first, right?" Yue Weishan only opened his mouth at this time: "Give me a shot, and you will have less trouble." Lu Zhaopeng waved his hand, beckoned Heiwa and said, "Let's sit down for a meeting first." Then he walked up to Yue Weishan, untied the thin hemp rope that bound his arms, and patted him on the shoulder: "You also sit down and listen." We are going to discuss the details of the preparations for the uprising of the Zishui County Security Corps, and you can see how we will destroy the reactionary regime that you have been operating in Zishui for more than 20 years!" Yue Weishan was pressed to a chair by Lu Zhaopeng's hand that was pressed on his shoulder, and the pillar that supported his body and mind was broken, and he tilted his head and closed his eyes. Lu Zhaopeng looked at his watch, raised his head and said, "Comrades, let's hurry up and have a meeting." Now it's three points away from zero, and Zishui County actually belongs to the people......"

More than half a year later, just after the first New Year after the liberation of Zishui County, Lu Zhaoqian, the deputy county magistrate, was arrested in his office. Heiwa was drafting an application report for the restoration of his party membership for a while, when two people walked into the room, and he didn't look up until the person snatched the brush in his hand, and he realized that the person who came did not ask him for work. Before he could think about it, he had already tied his arms with fine hemp rope. Heiwa jumped up and shouted: "Why, why! Who sent you?" The two of them didn't say anything, just pushed him out the door.

Heiwa was imprisoned in the jail in the western corner of the county. He pleaded thousands of times to the people who delivered the meals and the people who guarded them: "I want to see the county magistrate, I want to see Bai Xiaowen, I want to see the county magistrate Bai." In the end, he couldn't help but howl loudly: "I want to see Bai Xiaowen Bai County Magistrate!" Until his throat roared and bleed, he couldn't even make a sound, and suddenly lay on the bed board, thinking about some incoherent past events over and over again.

The ceremony of the uprising took place at noon the next day, and his artillery battalion fired a salute of the uprising. Lu Zhaopeng did not take part in the stirring uprising, he arranged everything in order, and rode back to the city at dawn on the broken bicycle, saying that the work of the division headquarters was more urgent. I heard that Zhaopeng returned to Xi'an for only two days, and then followed the troops all the way to the west, all the way to Xinjiang. He didn't write to him, nor did he say a word, where he is now, alive or dead, it's not clear, it is said that the Battle of Fumei suffered heavy casualties. If Zhaopeng's whereabouts can be figured out, everything will disappear.

If the county magistrate Bai Xiaowen doesn't nod, who would dare to arrest Deputy County Magistrate Lu Zhaoqian? Heiwa desperately yelled at Bai Xiaowen, maybe he could hear his cry in the county government. He remembered that on the third day after the uprising, Jiao Zhenguo, the former commander of the second battalion of the Security Regiment, threw a copy of the "Mass Daily" on the table: "Look at it. Heiwa saw a telegram signed by He Long, director of the Northwest Military and Political Commission, commending the uprising of the Zishui County Security Corps. The title of the message was "Comrade Bai Xiaowen, commander of the first battalion of the Zishui County Security Regiment." Heiwa looked at it and said: "He Long is mistaken, we are the entire security regiment, three battalions and ten officers and soldiers all participated in the uprising, not a battalion of more than 300 people who revolted alone." Jiao Zhenguo said: "You take a look at the following article-" Heiwa saw Bai Xiaowen's tribute letter to He Long about leading a battalion uprising. Heiwa smacked her tongue and said, "Xiaowen, this bear is making trouble for himself, you report all the uprisings of the three battalions of our regiment to Director He, Director He will definitely be happier." Jiao Zhenguo said: "It's not his turn to write this report to Director He!" You are the initiator of the uprising, and you are the leader of the uprising that everyone has publicly promoted, this is a matter that was agreed with Lu Zhaopeng in person, why did he report to Director He first?" Heiwa glanced at Jiao Zhenguo dissatisfied: "Brother, it's not me talking about you, you are too narrow-minded." What's the big deal? Xiaowen reported it, and he reported it, he didn't write the second battalion and the third battalion, isn't you and I an uprising?" Jiao Zhenguo pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Brother Heiwa! You give me a note to prove the uprising, and I will tell the old man to return to his hometown to farm!" Heiwa was on fire: "What are you doing?" We just rebelled and just liberated, and we are so busy that we can't grow three heads, eight hands, but you're leaving? To whom did you leave the revolutionary work behind? Can I hold it?" Jiao Zhenguo insisted on leaving unmoved. Heiwa was anxious and said: "If you don't say the truth, I won't open a certificate!" Are you unhappy with me?" Jiao Zhenguo said: "I am always afraid of the shot that Xiaowen made up for the head of the regiment. Heiwa still hasn't let go of Jiao Zhenguo's return home. Half a month later, Comrade Qin Jixian, the first secretary of the **Zishui County Party Committee, went to work, and Jiao Zhenguo got a certificate of uprising from his hand, and finally returned to the small isolated county in southern Shaanxi. Before leaving, Heiwa simply shook hands with him, very dissatisfied and even looked down on the narrow-mindedness of this sworn brother.
