Chapter 223: Collapse (Part II)

Ruan Shulin had already received the news from Li Anping to the headquarters, but he was still not at ease, which was due to the prestige and deterrence formed by Nguyen Chengjiang's long-term control of the power of the Northern Military Region.

In the Northern Military Region and even in the entire North Annan, his cronies are full of cronies and henchmen, and there are even more of them among the troops under the military region.

In order to prevent accidents, after Ruan Shulin decided to control Ruan Chengjiang, he immediately took him out of the camp of the troops, out of the control area of the troops, and went all the way to the south, even if he encountered the government army, there was no need to worry, because he and Li Anping had already sent people to contact the government army and inform them of their plan, and Li Anping immediately informed him and the government of the situation on the side of the headquarters after controlling all the middle and lower-level officers and controlling the vast majority of the troops, and the central government immediately responded. Huang Wentao sent Wu Lingzuo, chief of the general staff of the Central Military Commission, to urgently go to the rebel headquarters to take over all the troops of the Northern Military Region, stabilize the morale of the army, appease the soldiers, and prevent the recurrence of chaos.

With the face-to-face commitment made by Huang Wentao, a high-level military representative such as the chief of staff of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, and President of the State of Annang, except for a few first offenders, all the officers and men of the Northern Military Region will not be held accountable for the past, no trace will be left in their personal files, everyone will remain in the same state, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded and promoted as appropriate, and all the soldiers who have died in battle on both sides will be given preferential compensation according to the standards of martyrs, but there is a slight difference in the official statement, and the family members will not be implicated in all the welfare benefits of the state; The central government allocates funds for treatment, and the government is responsible for the placement of the wounded and disabled as disabled servicemen.

These appeasement conditions relieved almost all the officers of the rebel army, and they were only worried that the central government would wait until the situation calmed down and the political stability was settled, and then settle accounts with them, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of these tainted accomplices, but from the current point of view, the central government did not have any prejudice and disgust against them, but rather gave them preferential treatment, but aimed the main spearhead at the mastermind of this rebellion and several chief accomplices.

The gunfire in the direction of Anren has stopped, and both government troops and rebels have stopped in place, waiting for the central government to send people to take over the resettlement; However, in the direction of Yong'an Taiyuan, although Li Anping sent an armistice order to Fang Pingrong and Gao Longkai, and Huang Wentao personally dictated a telegram and sent it to the two people, promising that as long as the two of them laid down their arms and stopped resisting, they expressed their support for the central government, not only did they not blame the past, but also punished those who had made major meritorious contributions, commended them in a clear text, notified the whole army, and promised them high positions.

But the two still hesitated, only temporarily announced a ceasefire, but did not lay down their arms, the reason is that they know that their two identities are special, they are the top few cronies of Ruan Chengjiang, hardcore subordinates, have followed Ruan Chengjiang for many years, have very good feelings, obey Ruan Chengjiang, are his pawns, and are inseparable from him from a political point of view, and now Ruan Chengjiang does not know whether he is alive or dead, the Northern Military Region Command governs the East Road and the Middle Road Army anyway, and re-surrenders to the central government, and the two of them have such a special identity, Can it really be like Huang Wentao's telegram that the sky is falling, not to be investigated, but also to reward meritorious deeds, and to be allowed a high position?

They are all skeptical and hesitant in their hearts, and they are even more worried than those middle and lower-level officers, they are worried that once they order their subordinates, lay down their weapons, stop resisting, and then the military department sends someone to take over the troops, and they become alone, and after they are not named, Huang Wentao and they will beat the water dogs, send themselves to a military court, and be tried, and then they will be at their mercy, whether they kill or forbid, they are already powerless.

Therefore, they have a posture of continuing to wait and see, and on the other hand, they send people to negotiate and communicate with the central government, and wait and see what happens, and then decide what to do.

In the dense night, the heavy mist suspended in the dense forests of the hills, like the ever-changing ghosts of the legends, writhing and floating in that enchanting posture.

News came from the outpost: In the mountains ahead, there is a village, there is no trace of armed forces stationed around, safe!

The news came from the outpost: it had been out of the area controlled by the army, the pursuing enemy had not been found, and it was safe.

Ruan Shulin let out a long breath and finally reached a safe position. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was now 3:40 in the morning, and there were still more than two hours before dawn, he waved his hand, and asked the people around him to inform the front and rear outposts, go into the mountain, find a remote and safe location, rest for a while, and then touch the situation of the stockade, and finally determine whether it is hiding here and waiting for news.

A group of people continued to advance, and the two in the middle carried a pair of stretchers, on which a pair of marching sleeping bags wrapped Ruan Chengjiang tightly, tied to the stretcher, his head was exposed, and his mouth was sealed with duct tape, but he could keep his breathing smooth. Next to the stretcher, the heavily armed Ruan Shulin followed him inch by inch, for him, the person on the stretcher was the noble person who determined his future fate and future, and the glory and wealth, and the high-ranking officials pointed to him!

Except for the sound of heavy breathing and rustling footsteps, the whole team was silent, maintaining a battle alert formation and walking among the dark and rugged mountain roads, and the night owls suddenly let out a series of chatter horns, which made people's hearts palpitate.

The outpost had climbed the mountainside, set up a guard position on a rock next to the mountain pass, and picked up his teammates behind, and when everyone had reached the mountainside, the outpost continued to reconnoiter forward, looking for the ideal shelter point.

The team has just crossed the mountain, a small basin is presented in front of everyone, the area is not large, about the size of half a football field, the middle of the basin is very flat, near the foot of the mountain there are many rocks scattered and distributed, the other end of the basin is a narrow and straight valley, as if the mountain was split in half by a sharp axe, it is a natural way out, and the other side of the valley is the village.

When Ruan Shulin saw this terrain, he was secretly happy in his heart: he had been walking for most of the day, his spirit was constantly highly tense, and he was a dense forest mountain road, and he also carried a prisoner tied to a stretcher, and the physical strength of the team members was very high.

He immediately gave an order, gathered everyone, determined that they were stationed here, and ordered several sniper teams to set up guard posts on the top of the mountains on three sides and the valley in front of them, and closely observe the surrounding movements, and the rest of the people all went down to the other end of the basin, at the foot of the mountain next to the canyon, set up tents, built temporary barracks, and set up secret sentries and guard posts, preparing to stay here for a while, waiting for news from Li Anping.
