As soon as it got light, Tang Cheng uncharacteristically gave the order to leave. Fatty Ma had no time to prepare breakfast, so he had to give everyone a dry biscuit and a pickle. The entire convoy and Tang Cheng could only rely on the cold water in the kettle.
Tang Cheng obviously had no intention of entering Changsha City and wandering around. Liu Shitou and others who were already prepared to enter the city couldn't help but feel full of resentment, just to have a look in Changsha City.
, Liu Shitou and Hou San even changed into clean underwear and wiped their military shoes and helmets clean, but all this was obviously in vain.
"Don't even think about entering the city. The military commanders just tested us last night. We took away their weapons and belongings. There's no guarantee that these military commanders won't catch up and retaliate against us. Besides, Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao's men
People are not allowed to meet with people from the military command. We can only speed up and bypass Changsha and enter Guizhou as soon as possible, so that we can be safer. When we get to Kunming, I will give you a holiday. You can spend as many days as you want." Liu
Shitou still refused to give up, always daunting him in front of Tang Cheng, but was ignored by Tang Cheng.
The camp in Tangcheng was temporary, and the place they chose was just on the roadside, so it would be more convenient to get on the road. Seeing that Tangcheng was really not allowed to enter the city, Liu Shitou had no choice but to follow Hou San and others with a grimace.
The things were loaded onto the cart. "Then what's so good about Changsha? Besides, there are so many of us. We can't just let you go wandering around in the city. If you go, what will the others do? Could you just stare at them?
You guys?" Seeing that Liu Shitou was a little unhappy, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said.
"Don't say that if all of us go into the city, look at them. They just entered the city like this. Where can they go? Besides, there must be military police in places like Changsha. You forgot that when you were in Wuhan,
How did those military police treat us? In their eyes, we are just defeated soldiers. The only way to deal with defeated soldiers is to catch them and lock them up." When Tang Cheng mentioned the military police, Liu Shitou immediately became silent and just entered.
When he was in Wuhan, Liu Shitou was almost arrested by the military police on the street.
"You are just stupid and bold. The company commander said he would not allow us to enter the city, so of course he has his reasons." Dice smiled and reached out to rub Liu Shitou's head. Even Zhang Xiaobao, who had already gotten into the car, was pointing at Liu Shitou.
Making faces. Seeing everyone saying this, Liu Shitou glanced at Tangcheng secretly, then lowered his head and trotted over to help Fatty Ma carry the cooking utensils, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.
It only took Tang Cheng and others half an hour to pack up all their things and continue on their way westward amid everyone's laughter. If they wanted to bypass Changsha and enter Guizhou westward, they had to cross the Xiangjiang River. Tang Cheng did not intend to enter Changsha, so he had to
Follow the Liuyang River and go directly to the Xiangjiang River from Tiaoma Town in the south of Changsha County. Tiaoma Town is located in the hilly area to the west of the south of Changsha County. It is adjacent to Liuyang Baijia Town and Zhuzhou Yuntian Township to the east, and to the south is Zhuzhou Longtoupu Town and Hetangpu Town.
, it borders Baima Town, Xiangtan Zhaoshan Township and Changsha County Muyun Town to the west, and Dongjingpu Town, Changsha Yuhua District and Changsha County Huangxing Town to the north. It is a place with convenient transportation.
The biggest reason why Tangcheng chose such a place was for the soldiers under Huang Chengzhong who had participated in reselling arms. It was precisely because of the convenient transportation in Tiaoma Town that Tangcheng chose this place as the place to meet them. If they found that there were military commanders, they continued to pursue them.
Come, those soldiers can completely escape by taking advantage of the convenient transportation in Tiaoma Town. When they arrived at Tiaoma Town, it was already past noon, and the hungry wounded soldiers were waiting for Tang Cheng to order them to stop and have a rest and eat. Each of them was covered in blood.
With the two big cakes given to them by Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao, when they arrived in Tiaoma Town, at least they no longer had to eat those big cakes.
Tang Cheng himself had been hungry for a long time. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to order Jianjian to eat in Tiaoma Town. Anyway, he had to wait here for the guys who came to meet up. The only thing to do was to meet up with the soldiers in Tiaoma Town.
Tang Cheng and the people around him knew that the wounded soldiers in the convoy only knew that the Yunnan Army Changsha Office would send a group of soldiers to escort them along the way, so while everyone was looking for a place to eat, Hou San and Dice had already left on horseback.
, they were going to find the soldiers waiting in Tiaoma Town.
The area of Tiaoma Town is not small, but if we just talk about the area of the town, it is not big. At least in everyone's opinion, it is not as big as Liuyang City. Although the old saying goes that the poor make the family rich, the people of the Yunnan Army are also used to hardship.
As the day progressed, the wounded soldiers originally thought of going into the town to have a big meal, but later they figured out that it would be more cost-effective to buy things and cook them themselves. At least Fatty Ma’s cooking was not too unpalatable. They knew that these wounded soldiers wanted to save a little.
, Tangcheng immediately sent Liu Shitou and Tan Fei to drive carts into the town to purchase ingredients, and other people who could still help Fatty Ma build the stoves needed for cooking.
The appearance of Tangcheng and his group has long attracted the attention of many Tiaoma Town residents. Rebels have always been the common people's biggest fear. Many people in Tiaoma Town already called their father and mother the moment they appeared outside the town.
They dragged their families and prepared to flee to Changsha or Zhuzhou. These people would rather not have their own homes, and would rather run to a safer place like refugees, rather than be robbed by the insurgents. "Who are you?"
Which army are you from?" A lot of rioters came outside the town, and soon a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit came with a few regimental men carrying old-fashioned rifles and asked Tang Cheng who they were.
"We are the wounded returning home from the Yunnan Army. Our troops are a bit disorganized, but I have the warrant and list for returning home." The one who responded was Wu Laosan. Having known Tangcheng and the others for a long time, Wu Laosan talked.
Naturally, there is a hint of a soldier in his demeanor. If there were people here who were familiar with Wu Laosan, they would never recognize the upright man in military uniform at this station as the gangster they knew.
The middle-aged man who claimed to be the mayor of Tiaoma Town took the warrant handed over by Wu Laosan and read it carefully. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as these soldiers are not rebels. "Then you are in Tiaoma Town.
Are you staying here temporarily or are you just passing by?" He already understood that Tang Cheng and others were not the so-called rebels, but the mayor of Tiaoma Town still did not dare to take it lightly. He now only hoped that these soldiers were just passing by.
Wu Laosan raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Of course we were just passing by here. Didn't you see that we were just outside the town but didn't go in? We will leave after lunch. You don't have to worry about this at all."
When the third child revealed what was on his mind, the mayor's eyes were a little flustered, but the appearance of Hou San and the others just helped the mayor hide his panic.
"Company Commander, they are all here, a total of 15 of them are here. These guys live in the inn openly, and we found them without any effort at all." Hou San and Dice are not the only ones who have returned, there are also people who left earlier.
The 15 Yunnan soldiers in Liuyang. In order not to be discovered by the military commanders, they had been waiting in Tiaoma Town after leaving Liuyang. Hou San and Dice just rode their horses into the town and found them.
"This is an order from you two station commanders. From now on, the 15 of you will accept my command until we rush back to Kunming." These 15 store soldiers who were forced to leave Liuyang had all seen Tangcheng.
, also knew the relationship between Tang Cheng and their two stationmasters. Although they were still a little confused about the need to accept Tang Cheng's command, at least they did not show it in front of Tang Cheng.
Hou San and Di Zi did not find anything unusual in Tiaoma Town, and the Yunnan troops did not find any danger in the town, so Tang Cheng and the others had a very leisurely lunch. However, during the meal, Tang Cheng took the escort Dian soldiers
The army soldiers gathered together. "Why did you leave Liuyang? I think you all should know in your hearts. Although you were dumping those arms in exchange for medicines for the brothers in the military camp, it was also against military orders, so you must leave the military camp.
For yourselves and for the sake of our wounded brothers."
Seeing that his words had demoralized the Yunnan soldiers in front of him, Tang Cheng smiled, "The military commanders have been investigating this matter. If you are recognized by them, it will not be a good thing for you and the military camp. That's why we planned this time."
The purpose of the plan for the wounded soldiers to return home is to send you back home safely. You are all Yunnan troops. As long as you return to Yunnan, I think those military commanders will never be able to do anything to you, so we must be careful along the way.
act.”
Tang Cheng took out the map that Huang Chengzhong gave him before leaving and opened it, "My plan is that we will avoid entering large villages and towns as much as possible along the way. Although we will pass many villages and towns suitable for stopping and resting along the way, we will not
Go in. We brought military blankets and tents. It is June now, and the weather in Guizhou and Yunnan will not be very cold. After crossing the Xiangjiang River, we will camp in the wild most of the time. Only in this way can we hide our whereabouts.
Discovered by military commanders."
People in the army will change their color when they hear the name of Juntong, and even Tangcheng is no exception. Although they designed a trick on Shen Huaiyu and the others last night, Tangcheng knows that the people of Juntong will not give up. If they want to be safe,
Rushing to Kunming, it is absolutely impossible not to think of a way. "Okay, just do as you say. We have also made some preparations in the past few days while waiting in Tiaoma Town. If we are more careful along the way, we should not be captured by the military.
Catch the trail."
"If there is no problem, just take the time to rest. We will cross the Xiangjiang River in an hour." Seeing that these Yunnan Army people were still obeying, Tang Cheng was secretly happy. In any case, if there are no big mistakes along the way, it will be safe.
