Chapter 211: Embarrassing Borrowing Food
The two bandit minions who were released back were two of the dozen minions who were captured by Wei Xin, the commander of the 7th Company of the Eighth Route Army, and the captives were instructed by Wei Xin to lead the Eighth Route Army all the way forward and arrived at the periphery of the Black Stone Cliff Cottage. Immediately, the two were released and reported to the cottage boss.
From the mouths of these two people, Liu Wumei learned that there were 100 people in the Eighth Route Army, with two light machine guns, and the rest were rifles. At this time, the female bandit leader gradually understood that this Eighth Route Army that said authentic black words "borrowing grain" should not be the one that fought with the cottage before, nor was it the Eighth Route Army that came to seek revenge for that unit, they really came to "borrow grain"!
Liu Wumei, who looked at her master, had no idea for a while-it has always been bandits who borrow grain from big families outside the mountain, but now it's good, the group of barbarians of the Eighth Route Army actually ran to the bandits' heads to borrow grain. The bandits' so-called borrowing of grain has always been tacitly borrowed but not returned, so what about the Eighth Route Army? Obviously, it is unlikely that you will repay it after borrowing it.
"Big boss, I've already told the three masters not to fire, first tie the fence firmly, and see the movement." The master said.
"Tie the fence strongly" is also a bandit saying, which means to defend steadily.
"Grandma's, the Eighth Route Army is dark enough, opening your mouth is twenty stone of grain, ten picks of pork, rice, noodles and vegetables, why don't they want wine!?" Liu Wumei scolded viciously.
"Don't complain, give it or not, you have to come up with a big idea."
Liu Wumei bit her lip and attacked: "What do I think?" You guys, you guys, were bullied and came to rob you, and you want me to be a woman with an idea?! β
The master twisted his sparse beard, looked at Liu Wumei, and did not speak.
The female bandit leader also knew that this whining sentence was too unreasonable: she made it clear that she was the master of the cottage, and she couldn't get along with the woman's grievance: "Then, let's take a stone of grain and a basket of meat and vegetables, and send them out to deal with it, how about it?" β
The master paused, and then nodded: "Asking for a price all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground is not a bad way to test the other party's hand." β
"What's the next step?" Liu Wumei asked weakly.
The master can still smile at the big boss at this moment: "The Eighth Route Army is not good, since it only mentions borrowing grain, and the list is not thin, it is obvious that the belly is really hungry." The big bosses just give such a point, maybe they will turn their faces immediately. β
The female bandit leader became anxious: she didn't know that this little thing almost belonged to the begging for food, but the list issued by the Eighth Route Army was too big, and if it opened this time, it was difficult to predict whether they would come to "borrow" it at every turn in the future.
Blame yourself for these unsuccessful minions! Not to mention being captured alive by the Eighth Road, he had to obediently lead people to the door of the Black Stone Cliff Cottage, and fucking ate inside and out!
"If you really want to turn your face, according to what the mouse said, are we sure that we can withstand it?"
The rat that Liu Wumei said is the nickname of one of the minions who was released back to report the news after being captured.
The master really showed his worries at this time, and he analyzed that the true power of this Eight Roads may not have been fully grasped by the rats and other captured minions. If this is the case, then the Eighth Route Army is likely to have another ambush, and the more than 100 people placed outside the mountain gate are just one of them. For this reason, we have to guard against it.
Seeing that the master was old-fashioned, slow-moving, and long-sighted to destroy his prestige, the female bandit was angry, and suddenly she had an idea, and said to the other party: "Master, you have experience in dealing with these Qiu Ba, the last time we confronted the Eighth Route Army with firepower, and in the end, you came forward to negotiate with them." This time, I think I have to trouble you to come forward and talk to the commander of the Eighth Route Army first, and see if you can make a concession on both sides and not hurt the peace? β
Regarding the idea of this obviously putting himself on the fire to roast, the master was not in a hurry or annoyed, his eyes rolled a few times, and he happily agreed:
"I'm an old man, and I can't restrain the chicken, forgive them for not daring to do anything to me. If you can resolve the murderous appearance for the cottage with your three-inch tongue, you will see the old master under Jiuquan in the future (author's note: that is, the original bandit leader of Black Stone Cliff and the deceased husband of Liu Wumei), and you will have an explanation. β
In this way, Liu Wumei couldn't bear it, she explained with a guilty face: "Master, I have no intention of pushing you to put yourself in danger, we might as well take a long-term view." β
The master shook his head, indicating that there was no need to dwell on the argument anymore.
Wei Xin, the commander of the 7th company, had already made a wishful thinking, with the twelve bandits in his hand, the female bandit leader would inevitably compromise and agree to the conditions he proposed. Wei Xin, who was born in martial arts, had a lot of dealings with people with some backgrounds back then, and knew that these gangs and gangs walked the rivers and lakes all relied on the word "righteousness". With Liu Wumei's female generation being able to sit in a gang, it is necessary to rely on the loyalty of his subordinates; If she feels sorry for the food and grass and refuses to exchange the freedom and lives of her subordinates, she is afraid that she will not be able to sit firmly on the chair in the future.
Therefore, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was confident, pulled all the remaining more than 100 people to the outside of the Black Stone Cliff Cottage, and waited for the other party to compromise. If you really talk about combat effectiveness, at this time, there are four adults in the 7th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Lin Division, and the ammunition is not very sufficient. But Wei Xin, who is bold and careful, gambles that the female bandit leader does not dare to risk the life of the "meat ticket".
Sure enough, the other party sent a few people from the steep cottage entrance, including a minion who had just been sent back to deliver a letter to the female bandit leader, who claimed: They want to talk to the Eighth Route Army.
Wei Xin smiled slightly in his heart: the other party was jealous, and in the face of the officials and soldiers who bullied him, he took the initiative to choose to talk instead of fighting. That's a lot easier.
In a slightly flattened open space, the master of the Guanmen Mountain Bandit Gang and the company commander of the Eighth Route Army began a dialogue.
Wei Xin was bright and upright, and as soon as he came up, he showed that the headquarters had just fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Xiping Village outside the mountain, and retreated into the mountains after the defeat, temporarily recuperating, in order to fight the Japanese invaders again in the future.
Only then did the master understand that this Eight Roads was originally driven into Guanmen Mountain by the Japanese, so it was no wonder that he couldn't live in the good plain villages, and ran to the cottage to borrow grain. He thought, waiting for the remnants of the army to be defeated and at the end of the road, there may not be much strength left! With this background, the master's courage became stronger, and he began to complain to the commander of the Eighth Route Army with a sad face, saying that the cottage people had not been out of the mountain for a long time, and the grain and grass were also very tight, and he couldn't take out as much as the Eighth Route Army asked for.
Wei Xin, who was listening attentively at first, gradually became impatient, he realized that this cottage master was playing tricks, if he couldn't restrain him, his trip would definitely be in vain. The commander of the 7th company quietly asked for his iron whip from the communicator beside him, and began to play casually with it in his hand. The master couldn't help but be startled, thinking that the commander of the Eighth Route Army was going to tie himself up, and after looking at the iron rope whip, he understood that this was a cold weapon used to practice martial arts.
"This master, the Eighth Route Army is an anti-Japanese team, we fought a bloody battle with the Japanese outside the mountain, and you bandits can hide in the ravine and enjoy peace; Now we have asked you to borrow food, and we dare to push back and hinder. Don't forget, you little old man, that your money and food were all robbed and seized by the common people, and now, on behalf of the Military Commission of the National Government, I order you to pay the grain in full immediately! β
Of course, the master is not convinced: on behalf of the Military Commission of the National Government? Joke! Your Eighth Route Army was also a bandit army against the Nationalist Government, otherwise how could you do the current kidnapping and ransom business? It was only last year that he surrendered to the Nationalist Government and became an official army; In the blink of an eye, he unashamedly represented the national government!
But of course, the master did not dare to say this thought, and he noticed that two light machine guns were lying on the ground not far away, and several soldiers who were supposed to be machine gunners were wiping them in a careless mannerβthat was undoubtedly wiping them for him. The master has never seen the crooked handle of the Japanese, but he knows the oily Czech style.
"Eighth Road Chief, hard work! Please calm your anger, since your army has just experienced a bloody battle, presumably people are sleepy and lacking, Xiao Lao'er dared to invite Chief Wei and other commanders to sit in the village first, prepare drinks in the village, and show a little heart to the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War! β
The master pretended to be earnest and said a plan that he had thought of before he came out. His calculation was that if the officials of the Eighth Route Army were willing to enter the cottage, they could find an opportunity to win it in one fell swoop, and then propose to exchange "meat tickets" with them; If the other party does not dare to enter the mountain, it can also prove that their strength is not strong.
Wei Xin laughed out loud, he suddenly raised the iron whip in his hand, and cleanly made a crisp sound in the air, almost scaring the master:
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey! However, our Eighth Route Army has always paid attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, since the master wants to invite dinner, I will take the whole company and go into the mountains to eat a meal for your big boss! Please lead the way! β
At this moment, the master finally understood the power of this commander of the Eighth Route Army.
What to do? If the whole company enters the mountain together, then the cottage must be destroyed on the spot! Do you continue to wrestle around, or do you quickly find an excuse to get out? Just when he was hesitating awkwardly, there was a sudden commotion on the side of the cottage, and the master looked back and was surprised to find that the big boss actually walked out with a few people in person.
Liu Wumei, who was under the surveillance of the black muzzle, came to the master's side calmly, and the master did not know what was going on, so he had to introduce her and the company commander of the Eighth Route Army to each other.
Wei Xin never expected that the legendary female devil Liu Wumei, who kills people without blinking, is quite beautiful, and her age is not very big. For a while, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, who rarely dealt with women, felt a little uneasy and cramped.
Liu Wumei hesitated again and again, and finally made up her mind to come out in person to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army.
Although the female bandit leader knows very well that the role of the master is not enough to determine the country, but more importantly, the previous vicious battle with the Eighth Route Army has become a big part of her heart. At present, on the one hand, the Eighth Road occupies the main road out of Guanmen Mountain, cutting off the freedom and wealth of the Black Stone Cliff Cottage; On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which obviously suffered a loss last time, will definitely not give up and may come to the door at any time to seek revenge, rather than worrying about eating here and waiting for death, it is better to take advantage of this unexpected opportunity of the Eighth Route Army to "borrow grain" and have an open and honest showdown with the other party: give up a batch of grain and grass in exchange for the understanding and cooperation of the other party, and the two sides will draw boundaries inside and outside the Guanmen Mountain, and each other's well water will not violate the river water!
After hearing the master briefly say that Chief Wei's company had just fought with the Japanese army outside the mountain, Liu Wumei made up her mind, this female bandit leader with a gun and a knife actually bent down and gave a slight blessing to the company commander of the Eighth Route Army:
"Company Commander Wei led his troops to fight with the Japanese, which was really a heroic anti-Japanese war, and the little woman was sincere and invited Company Commander Wei and your army to the cottage to rest the horses."
Seeing Liu Wumei bend down, Wei Xin was greatly embarrassed.
Arresting the other party's person and forcing him to redeem him with grain and grass is in itself against morality, and the other party's boss is such a polite woman! The company commander of the Eighth Route Army, a seven-foot man, was quite embarrassed at this moment, with a Chinese face, and he was swollen red!
