Chapter 14: Advanced (49)

Huang Tianhua was most concerned about Su Tingxun's arrival, looking north every day, looking forward to it, and going to the Appeasement Office to inquire about the itinerary became one of his jobs. Mo Di told him not to worry, Su Tingxun was his last commander in Anqing, and when he came to Guilin, he would definitely see him, and when he met, he would definitely not miss Chief of Staff Huang Tianhua Huang. That being said, but Su Tingxun's itinerary is also unknown, the so-called beacon fire is even for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold, and now the beacon fire has long been more than March, and the communication has also improved slightly compared with the Tang Dynasty, but it is also very difficult.

To the great surprise of the invincibles, Su Tingxun's arrival was much earlier than they expected, and only ten days later, the newly appointed commander of the Yonglong Division appeared at Ertang Airport. It wasn't until Su Tingxun took the official car of Ertang Airport and entered the royal city that the invincible people were confirmed by a call from Jingxi General Liang Wuya.

So, the group immediately went to the royal city.

Be the leader, the invincible leader. Followed by Wang Weicang, he and Li Renqiao were both old men of the Seventh Army, and they were regarded as Su Tingxun's old subordinates. Gong Qingyuan and Li Zulin must be in place, the division chief of staff of the 48th Army, although Li Xuan was transferred out of the 48th Army, he was also a subordinate for a time, everyone went, and he was no exception. Zhao Guolong naturally didn't go, when he was in the 48th Army, Su Tingxun had not yet arrived, and he had no affection, so he didn't need to come to the door to be a junior. But Huang Tianhua, who also has the same history, can't avoid it, he is the chief of staff of the Yonglong Division, and Su Tingxun is his immediate boss, although he has made up his mind to leave the division, he can stay for a day and be restricted for a day, not to mention, if he really wants to leave, he has to get this approval.

The group walked very fast, almost trotting all the way, and after entering the royal city from Guangzhimen, they went straight to the important place.

Liang Wuya, director of the Confidential Affairs Division, saw this gang, didn't say a word, stood up and left, Mo Enemy and his gang followed, and after a while, they came to the door of the office of Huang Xuchu, deputy director of the Pacification Office and governor of Guangxi Province, Liang Wuya said: "You are waiting outside, as soon as Commander Su comes out, you will be able to see him." ”

Huang Tianhua was a little anxious, handed a cigarette to Liang Wuya, and asked, "How long does it take to estimate?" Liang Wuya shook his head and said, "Maybe, it won't be too long according to the convention, Lord Huang has a lot of opportunities, and it's just a meaningful meeting, and a polite confession." If you see each other for a long time, it means that the closer the relationship, the longer you wait, the more valuable it is. ”

Mo Di slapped Liang Wuya and said with a smile: "Nonsense, our chief is naturally extremely valuable. ”

Liang Wuya shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Your commander is the same age as Chief Li Delin, and he is also a senior of Chief Li's Army Crash School, and his qualifications are not deep. It's just that the sword is hanging in the bag, the hairpin is buried in the hair, and there has been no chance to get ahead, and he has been a major general for fifteen years. In the 29th year of the Republic of China, he was finally promoted to lieutenant general, and last year the Central Interpretation and Narrative Department had nothing to do, and gave him the rank of major general. ”

Wang Weicang and others also laughed, Su Tingxun is like this, and so is Qi Daozheng, the deputy commander of the Seventh Army, fortunately, Qi Daozheng has more backbone than Su Tingxun, and he carries the rank of Lieutenant General of the Gui Department on his shoulders, that is, he refuses to accept the brand of Major General of the Gui Army, in the Seventh Army, no matter what the occasion, General Qi is the rank of lieutenant general of the Gui Army, and speaking of which, the division commander Zhong Ji under his command is already a lieutenant general of the Interpretation, and he still has the rank of major general, which is really a bit indelible.

"Do you think Chief Su will come out with the rank of major general or lieutenant general?" Li Zulin has limited respect for Su Tingxun, and asked with a smile, he is Liao Lei's godson, and he is the second generation of officials born with golden chopsticks, and he is straightforward.

"I guess it's a lieutenant general." Gong Qingyuan said: "The major general is a little ugly, of course, he is better looking than a few of our colonels, but standing in front of Tianzong and Tianhua, he is a little imposing. ”

Wang Weicang, Li Renqiao, Gong Qingyuan, Li Xuan, and Li Zulin are all colonels of Interpretation, Mo Di is Major General of Interpretation, and Huang Tianhua is Major General of Guijun. Especially in Guangxi, whether it is an interpretation or a non-interpretation, the colonel must salute when he sees the major general, and Wang Weicang must be a head shorter in front of Huang Tianhua.

"No matter what rank, it's our commander." Mo Di said.

"Yes!" Wang Weicang was old and solemn, and said: "When Chief Su came back from the front line, I don't know whether he is happy or worried, we must pay attention to what we say, and don't say anything and hurt others without knowing it. ”

Li Zulin stuck out his tongue, he was ten years younger than Wang Weicang, and sometimes he was a little immature.

Wang Weicang and his group had just finished smoking a cigarette when they saw Su Tingxun walking out of the door. Mo Di didn't smoke, left this group of smokers far away, was closest to the door, and immediately greeted him: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, Chief Su is even more immortal!" ”

Su Tingxun, who was so thin that he didn't expect that there would be a group of people waiting for him at the door, which was too face-saving! grabbed two steps, grabbed Mo Di's hand that was about to salute, shook it vigorously, and said, "Accident, accident!" How do you know I'm here? ”

Mo Di hadn't answered yet, Li Zulin had already squeezed aside, saluted and said, "We are in the senior class, and we can pinch each one." ”

Although Su Tingxun was not familiar with him, he also knew him, and knew that this kid was Liao Lei's godson, and said with a smile: "Zu Lin can go to be Zhang Jiezhai's assistant after graduating from the high school!" ”

Then shook hands with Wang Weicang and Li Renqiao one by one, Su Tingxun did not stay in the Seventh Army for a long time, said that he was a commander, very reluctantly, he did not regard himself as the commander of the Seventh Army, but greeted Wang Weicang and Li Renqiao very politely.

Su Tingxun's attitude towards Gong Qingyuan and Li Xuan is very different, after all, he has been the deputy commander of the 48th Army for a long time, and these two are the division chiefs of staff of the 48th Army, so there is no need to be polite in front of them.

However, Huang Tianhua made Su Tingxun very stunned, who is this? Seeing Huang Tianhua saluting him, he also returned the salute very seriously, and he didn't dare to slack off. Mo Di hurriedly introduced him, and Su Tingxun knew that the previous ones were all subordinates in the past, and this one was the current subordinate. Hurriedly shook Huang Tianhua's hand and asked, "Guanghua is Huang Tianhua, the chief of staff of the 526th Regiment of Tianzong before?" ”

"It's a subordinate." Huang Tianhua said with a smile: "When I went out of Anqing to avoid trouble, I didn't dare to be incognito, so I could only bury my name, and change the day to actinization, but in fact, I used the old name in the family tree. ”

"Whether it's Tianhua or actinization, whether you change the soup or not the medicine, it's still the core." Gong Qingyuan said with a smile.

The crowd laughed.

Wang Weicang asked, "What else does Chief Su need to handle?" There are many of us, so we can go our separate ways. ”

"No need." Su Tingxun said: "I returned to Guilin, reported to the cadre training department, and then went to Director Huang to report on my work, and then I waited for the documents of the organization department, when to get the appointment documents, and when I went to Nanning to take up my post." ”

"Has Chief Su's accommodation in Guilin been arranged?" Mo Di asked.

"It's arranged, the office arranged it at the guest house of the Security Headquarters at the foot of Ronghu Lake in Yangtang, I refused, I have an old house on Xinyi Road, although my parents have returned to the countryside, there are some relatives living there." Su Tingxun said: "I will stay there for the night tonight, and I will go back to my hometown of Lingchuan Dingjiang Shangzhai Village early tomorrow morning, and stay for two days before coming out." ”

"Then tonight we will set up a banquet for the chief to receive the wind, what do you need us to do tomorrow, the chief will tell you first, we can also prepare, if you need a car, I will find a way to borrow a car, if it can't be opened, I will go find a few horses." Mo Di said.

"It's okay to have a reception tonight, and you don't have to bother with anything else." Su Tingxun said: "I have already taken a letter back to my hometown today, and early tomorrow morning, I will take a bus to Wutong to Huangtang, and my family will pick me up in Huangtang. ”

"Is there anyone with you, sir?" Huang Tianhua asked.

Su Tingxun shook his head.

Huang Tianhua continued: "Then I'll go in with the chief." ”

Su Tingxun shook his head again and said: "I know what Tianhua means, thank you for your kindness, I finally put down my position, and before I received a new appointment notice, I happened to be unofficial and light, and went back to see my fellow villagers." I didn't go back alone, I was accompanied, don't worry. You are studying in Lu Dagao, you can't ask for leave, just concentrate on your studies, these things are trivial things for me. ”

Huang Tianhua nodded.

Su Tingxun is a local, his hometown is only forty miles away from Wangcheng, as a lieutenant general, although he is not the same as Li Delin Bai Jiansheng and others, but compared with Zhou Zuhuang, Zhang Gan and others, it is not too weak, in Guilin City, there are industries, houses, and connections.

Mo Di proposed to hold a banquet at the Guangdong restaurant on Houku Street, but was denied by Su Tingxun, Su Tingxun proposed to go out of Dingguimen to Guanyin Pavilion to eat Lingchuan fried dog meat, Mo Di laughed, saying that the good dog was sad Lingchuan Street, and the Lingchuan people came back, and dog meat was the first choice. Su Tingxun stared at Mo Di, and asked, "That's ugly!" Am I a good dog or an ugly dog? ”

Mo Di couldn't stop laughing, Wang Weicang and the others didn't laugh when they recalled it.

At the entrance of the small cross street, there is a bus leading to the Guanyin Pavilion, a few people get on the bus, and after a while, they will go out of the Dinggui Gate. Dinggui Gate is sandwiched between Tiefeng Mountain and Parrot Mountain, there is a high city wall, in the middle of the city wall, Dinggui Gate is like a tunnel in general, if there is wind and grass, close Dinggui Gate, a husband is closed, ten thousand people do not open, thus forming the north barrier of Guilin City. Not far from Dinggui Gate, there is a Guanyin Mountain, there is a Taoist temple on Guanyin Mountain, which is Guanyin Pavilion, and then derives the place name of this region. Outsiders from the north, after arriving at the Dinggui Gate, are not allowed to enter the city, so they settle down outside the city gate, accumulate over the years, and form a huge shantytown, there are markets, residential areas, schools, stone carvings on the mountain, cliffs, the old archway under the mountain, the bluestone ancient well is messed up in the middle, the main road paved with bluestone slabs, the alleys made of cobblestones, the ancient business road under the archway is full of all kinds of merchants gathered in department stores, students with dreams, forming another life with the city center in the distance, It's three points more lively than in the city. Looking north from Baoji Mountain, Tiefeng Mountain, Parrot Mountain, Guanyin Mountain area, there are often colorful clouds gathered, the first sunny day after the rain, the Languang purple mist is misty in the meantime, the scenery is charming, there is the reputation of Guiling Qinglan.

At the entrance of Yiqian Street, Su Tingxun identified a very inconspicuous shop and got into it.

They followed closely and passed through a low, dark portal, which suddenly opened up, with a spacious courtyard facing the mountain on one side and houses on three sides, and trees on the hill, which were rooted in the cracks of the stones, and became one with the rocks. Just when the invincibles sighed, they saw Su Tingxun waving in the stone cave under the mountain wall, and hurriedly walked over and found that this was a natural stone cave, and there were several tables and chairs in the stone cave, and in the middle of the table, there was a red charcoal stove.

Chafing dish! Isn't it a little too early to eat hot pot on August 15th! It's too hot!

"In my place, don't say eat hot pot in August, even if you eat hot pot in June, it won't be hot." The boss warmly beckoned everyone to sit down.

After sitting down, I found that there was a wind blowing from the depths of the cave in this cave, which was cool and cool, which made people feel refreshed. This place, I'm afraid that it won't be hot in June, no wonder the boss is so confident, it's really a good place to eat dog meat hot pot. Su Tingxun can find it, which shows that he is still a real snake.

"There are eight of us, first put five catties of dog meat, ask for more dog faces and dog buckles, and don't get some dog bones." Su Tingxun spoke a standard Guilin dialect and told the boss: "The wine is simpler, which bad wine do you have here?" Is there a triple flower? There are three flowers to come to an altar first, ten catties. ”

Seeing that Su Tingxun was familiar with a number of family treasures, the invincibles smiled, it seems that today it is not the city god asking for the land, it is the land asking the city god.

The dog meat was put on the pot, Sanhua was served, and after a few rounds, Su Tingxun came to Mo Di's side and said, "Tianzong, I am responsible for informing you of something." ”

"What's the matter?" Mo Di asked.

"Double Tenth Festival, the Martyrs' Shrine of the Savage Village is going to be unveiled, as the military leader of the first administrative region of Anqing, Hao Wenbo, the deputy commander of the Eleventh Tour, wants me to tell you, please write something for the Martyrs' Shrine, and after writing, send it to him by telegram." Su Tingxun said.

"Martyrs' Shrine?" Mo Di asked, "It's been built?" ”

"Last year, it was a mess, and it was only because of a proposal by Fan Yuansheng, the commissioner of Anqing's first district, that it has been delayed until now." Su Tingxun said: "Commissioner Fan said that a loyal martyrs' shrine is not enough to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, because most of the martyrs of our 176th Division are from Guangxi, who came all the way to Anqing and buried their bones here. ”

"How to fix it?" Mo Di asked.

Commissioner Fan proposed to establish a secondary school on the site of the Martyrs' Shrine and named it the private King Chung Middle School, which would not only inspire future generations to pay respects to the martyrs, but also serve the needs of cemetery management. In the future, every Qingming Festival, the students of the school will pay a pillar of incense to the martyrs to fulfill the responsibility of future generations. Su Tingxun said: "This year, the school has been completed, Commissioner Fan personally served as the chairman of the school, Wu Yifeng as the director of academic affairs, in September, new students entered the school, October 10, the unveiling ceremony of the martyrs' shrine was held. The cost of the construction of this middle school and the martyrs' shrine mainly came from the spontaneous donations of the gentry of the people of Qianshan, Tongcheng, Huaining, Taihu, Susong, Wangjiang, Huoshan, Wuwei, Hefei, as well as Yingshan, Huangmei, Guangqi and other 13 counties in Hubei, and the remains of Xie Dingxin, Cai Chaokun, Chu Zhaoyue, the three martyrs and the deputy of Liu Bolong, have also moved in. ”

This amount of information is a bit too much, and Mo Di, who couldn't digest it for a while, looked at Su Tingxun blankly, unable to say a word.

In the evening, I returned to Doumu Lane, sat under the flower stand, pondered for a long time, and spent days and nights in the six counties of Anqing West, bits and pieces of pain poured into my heart, countless pains, and countless bitterness. After several years of the Anti-Japanese War, how many bloody battles, how many deaths and lives, it is really a fluke that he can still survive in the world. When Mo Di calmed down, a thousand thoughts turned into a few words, walked back to the hall, unfolded rice paper, and wrote: "Determined to avenge the country, I will continue to mourn." Falling flowers and flowing water in autumn and March, a mound of chivalrous intestines. There are still traces of blood-stained mountains and rivers, and the soul is also worried. The Japanese slaves died before they were destroyed, and the heroes did not accept their tears. ”
