Chapter 14: Advanced (16)

With a depressed Yang Hanlie, Mo Di boarded the bus to Zhuzhou, not because he didn't want to take the train, but the train from Liling to Zhuzhou was too timeless. The ticket car from Liling to Zhuzhou is a trip a day, sent from Zhuzhou in the morning, arrived in Pingxiang at noon, and after the ticket car from Linjiang to Pingxiang arrived, it turned around and arrived in Zhuzhou through Liling, and the moon has risen in the east. When Mo Di heard this schedule, he couldn't help but say that from Liling to Zhuzhou, he had to stay for one night, and if he wanted to rush to other places, even if he rushed to Xiangtan and Hengyang in Changsha, it was impossible.

In order to catch the train from Zhuzhou to Hengyang, the 27th Group Army specially sent a special car, in which in addition to the Mo Di couple, there were also Yang Hanlie and his 21 guards. A group of 24 people had to rush to Zhuzhou before the train from Changsha to Hengyang arrived in Zhuzhou, and they had to rush to Hengyang today.

The only lady was invited to sit in the passenger seat of the car, and the others were all seated in the cargo compartment of the Chevrolet truck. Yang Hanlie couldn't hide the treacherous intent on his face, and said to Mo Di that when he came to Hengyang today, he would definitely bring him a surprise. Mo Di saw that the naïve young man in front of him was trying to hide the impulse in his heart, and knew that the other party must have arranged something in Hengyang, so he pretended to have an expression of indifference, and made Yang Hanlie scratch his ears and cheeks, so that he was not in a hurry.

The road from Liling to Zhuzhou is very good, the road is also wide, and the car runs fast on it, and it only takes more than an hour for a hundred miles. Fortunately, a canvas canopy was installed on the carriage, and a thick tail curtain was drawn to keep the dust raised by the car out of the canopy, otherwise, the people sitting in the carriage might not see anyone for the dust.

Arrived at Zhuzhou Railway Station, the train from Changsha just entered the station, there was the invincible Colonel Pai Si and Yang Hanlie's transfer proof, the group swaggered into the last carriage, the carriage was empty, there was no one, Yang Hanlie smiled and said, this is good, it is a chartered car.

Zhuzhou to Hengyang 150 kilometers, has been along the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, in Zhuting, the railway basically accompanied the Xiangjiang River, Xiangjiang water, bubbling north, the river is wide, the river is mighty. Zhou Shiming crouched by the window, looked at the Xiangjiang River to the north, was quite emotional, and asked Mo Di: "Brother Fu, this Xiangjiang River, compared with the Ganjiang River we passed through in Linjiang Town, who is wider?" ”。 Mo Di said with a smile: "Hunan is referred to as Hunan and Jiangxi is referred to as Jiangxi, both of which are named after water. The Xiangjiang River and the Ganjiang River can be called their mother rivers, compared to the Xiangjiang River here and the Ganjiang River in Linjiang Town, the Xiangjiang River is larger. Emotionally speaking, I miss the Xiangjiang River more deeply, Ganjiang, I am just a hurried passerby, and the Xiangjiang River is different, it originates in Guilin, and the Li River is connected by a canal, although the river at our doorstep does not flow into the Xiangjiang River, but there is always the composition of hometown water. Seeing the Xiangjiang River, we people in Guibei have a feeling that we are not far from home. ”

"I didn't expect that Boss Mo could still look at the water and feel nostalgic, and he could sigh like the deceased, which is very different from the battlefield killers I know." Yang Hanlie said with a smile.

"Since ancient times, Xiangjiang has been famous for its sadness, after all, from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the poor side, no one is full of resentment." Mo Di said: "In the Tang Dynasty, Du Xianyan has a poem "Crossing the Xiangjiang River", and the poem Yun: The garden is sad in the past, and the flowers and birds are sad this spring. The people of Beijing are only pitiful to the south, not like the Xiangjiang River flowing north. Liu Zongyuan also wrote the poem "On the Xiangjiang River Again": Fortunately, the water of the Xiangjiang River is coming up again today. I don't know where I will go, and I will send it back for a few years. ”

"Brother Fu, why are these poems of Xiangjiang really full of a taste of frustration." Zhou Shiming was a little dissatisfied and said: "Isn't it that Empress E's daughter Ying cried and sacrificed Xiangjiang into a spotted bamboo, so Xiangjiang could only be resigned." ”

"What Mrs. Sister-in-law said makes sense." Yang Hanlie said: "I still remember a song "Evening Park Xiangjiang" in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it is even more sad, I remember it like this: Wuling is panicked, and Sanxiang is haggard. The situation is full of autumn rain, and you can see Hengshan on the surface. The road turns south by Peng, and the heart returns to the north according to the wild goose. Only the tears of the hometown are dyed with bamboo. ”

"Not all Xiangjiang poems are sad and sad, and some are very good, for example, Zhang Yi in the Tang Dynasty has a song "Xiangjiang Song" is different, Xiangshui has no tide and autumn water is wide, and the moon falls in Hunan and pedestrians. Send people away, send people back, and the white apples and partridges fly. When Mo Di said this, he suddenly remembered that he had heard an independent cold autumn song when he was in Hengyang You's class, and that kind of realm was very different.

"Then the ancients went to the south, and the Xiangjiang River was the first choice." He was not interested in the poems that lamented the Xiangjiang River, and he was not less interested in the river that appeared outside the window of the car from time to time.

"Yes, the Zhu Pavilion that I just passed by used to be called Puwan, but it was changed to this name because Yasheng Zhu Xi traveled south to give lectures here." During the Northern Expedition, Mo Di walked this road step by step, when he was at the age of studiousness, he asked everything, remembered everything, and integrated many allusions to the Xiangjiang River into his memory, saying: "Wuling is like a screen, blocking the southbound road, only the Xiangjiang River, through a corridor, from the north of the Lingnan to the south of the Lingnan." The Xiangjiang River and this corridor became the only right way to the south. ”

"Then the Ganjiang River can't reach Lingnan?" At this time, Zhou Shiming is like a curious baby, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, this trip is more than a thousand miles, which opened Zhou Shiming's eyes.

"The Ganjiang River originates in the north of the Nanling Mountains, and there is not such a corridor like the Xiangjiang River, and at the end, there are vast mountains." Mo Di said: "I heard a Guangdong classmate named Liang Cailin say that when I entered Guangdong from Jiangxi, I took the Meiguan Ancient Road, the mountain road is steep, rugged and difficult, it is not easy to walk empty, and it is even more difficult to carry goods. Compared with the Xiangjiang River, which is connected by water, it is very different by boat. What's more, in Hung Yen, there is also a Qin embankment, which is connected to the Li River and can go directly to the South China Sea. So more people will choose this path. ”

chatting all the way, time passed quickly, and after a little noon, Hengyang Station arrived.

As soon as Mo Di got out of the car, he was immediately shocked by the people in front of him, there were two people standing on the platform, one with the rank of major general, one with the rank of colonel, Liu Jingzhi with the rank of major general, and Liang Cailin with the rank of colonel.

With three greetings in unison, the three of them suddenly hugged each other. Several big men, like children, made the platform suddenly lively, Zhou Shiming rarely saw Mo Di so emotionally outgoing, standing aside with a smile on his face, watching the excitement.

I saw Yang Hanlie grinning on the side, and said to himself: "I don't believe that I can't shake you, this time, it's an accident." ”

It turned out that before leaving, he asked the staff headquarters of the 27th Group Army to call the Fourth Army and inform Liu Jingzhi, deputy chief of staff and chief of intelligence, to pick up people at Hengyang Railway Station.

"How did you know I was coming?" Mo Di said happily.

"Didn't you telegraph us to inform us?" Liu Jingzhi asked rhetorically.

Mo Di turned to look at Yang Hanlie, and said with a smile: "Hanlie, did you do it?" Hehe, thank you, I like it. ”

introduced Yang Hanlie to his two classmates, and Liu Jingzhi knew that it was Yang Ergongzi who informed him, and he specially left this surprise for Mo Di. Liu Jingzhi warmly shook hands with Yang Ergongzi and told Yang Hanlie that he had arranged accommodation and reception at the Hengyang Garrison Headquarters, so please go together. Yang Hanlie told the other party that he had many people and twenty guards, which was too much trouble. Liu Jingzhi told Yang Hanlie that the guards were easy to handle, and they were sent directly to the garrison headquarters, and all food and accommodation were arranged by logistics and military quarters. As for Yang Hanlie, they must have a drink together, otherwise, I'm sorry for the news.

In order to wait for the arrival of Mo Enemy, Liu Jingzhi and Liang Cailin were still hungry, and the so-called waiting on an empty stomach can be described as sincere. Walking out of the station quickly, there is a Huiyan Tower not far in front of the railway station, as soon as he enters the seat, Liang Cailin will serve food and wine in a stack, shouting as if fighting a fire.

"Why are you in Hengyang?" Mo Di asked: "I remember that you should be in Ji'an, Jiangxi." ”

"I used to stay in Ji'an, it was a few years ago, and then with the promotion of Commander Wu Qiwei, our Fourth Army was transferred to northern Xiangbei, and I also went to the 6th Theater Command, the commander of the Yangtze River Defense Army in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River for a few days, and after the end of the Changsha War in January, we were withdrawn and stationed in Hengdong. It is estimated that next, I will go to Ji'an. Liu Jingzhi said: "Yesterday, Chen Kan, the commander of the 90th Division, had already led his troops to leave Youxian County and go to Anfu, Jiangxi. Tomorrow, Lin Xiancha, the new commander of the 59th Division where Cailin is located, will also be in place, and as soon as it is in place, the 59th Division will also set off, and the location of the transfer will be Ji'an. If you come at the right time, if you are a day late, you will miss out on forest mining. ”

"Is it because the Japanese army attacked the Fuchun River, did you move east?" Yang Hanlie asked, he lost a chance to participate in the war, and he was angry: "The Japanese army wants to open up the entire Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, a big battle, but unfortunately I can't participate, I'm really angry." ”

Mo Di told Liu Jingzhi the story of Yang Hanlie's transfer to Guizhou, focusing on Yang Hanlie's depression that he could not participate in the war. Liu Jingzhi was clear about the battle of Yang Hanlie Yingzhushan, and he knew that this Yang Ergongzi was a typical belligerent, and Yang Sen was afraid that he would die on the battlefield, so he had to make this decision and transfer to Guizhou, which even the Japanese could not see. So he comforted: "This time Japan attacked the Fuchun River, not necessarily to take the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, mainly because a few days ago, a number of brand-new American fighters were stationed at the airfields in eastern Zhejiang, and the planes took off from eastern Zhejiang and visited the Japanese mainland, which posed a great threat to Japan. The second son can't participate, and he doesn't have to worry too much, it's better to go to Guizhou first, train a male soldier, and you still have to fight the battle. ”

Hearing Liu Jingzhi's words, Yang Hanlie, who had been depressed for a few days, returned to a smile on his face.
