"Thank you, Brother Ma!" Rose cupped her fists, looking a bit green.
Rose stretched out her hand to a gentle-looking young man with glasses, and said with a smile: "General Ma can make such an awe-inspiring, benevolent and generous act at this time of national survival. It is a great blessing to our party, our army, and even the whole country."
The people will never forget General Ma!..."
Ma Xingkong saw that this kid was not finished, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked Mei Mei, "Who is this?"
"I, Wang Wenrui, am the political commissar of the grain transport team. Thanks to General Ma for helping me this time, I really don't know how to thank you. We will definitely repay you in person in the future..." There was another burst of eloquence, which made Ma Xingkong feel dizzy. This
This guy is very good at talking. If you give him a topic and let him talk for three days and three nights, there will be no problem. From national integrity to the international situation, from trivial matters to future development, it is really amazing.
Ma Xingkong had no choice but to interrupt: "Okay, okay! Mr. Wang, oh no, Political Commissar Wang, let me tell you the truth, you don't have to wear these high hats on me, this time I'm looking at the roses
On the other hand, if it weren’t for him, I would be too lazy to take action. If you come here again next time, I’m sorry and there’s nothing I can do!”
"This..., General Ma!" Wang Wenrui originally thought that with Ma Xingkong as his backer, it would be much easier to transport supplies in the future, but Ma Xingkong only looked at Rose's face.
In spite of Wang Wenrui's entanglement, Ma Xingkong asked Rose to go to the house to do it. Wang Wenrui still wanted to catch up, but Long Jie hurriedly stopped him: "Commissar Wang, you are on our territory now. If you make my elder brother unhappy, can you?
It’s really hard to say how you can get through Tongguan! Let me advise you, before my eldest brother changes his mind, it’s best to get on the road as soon as possible!”
When Wang Wenrui heard what Long Jie said, he nodded slightly and went back to discuss it with a few people. He ignored the rose and hurriedly left Tongguan with his people.
Rose smiled at Ma Xingkong: "No matter how you say it, thank you anyway. These are things we are in urgent need of. With it, we can save many people!"
Ma Xingkong said: "We are brothers. You have saved us. How can we be brothers if you don't even help us? By the way, I heard that you sent people to North China?"
"Yes!" Rose said: "After the Japanese occupied Northeast China, we organized some people to resist, but unfortunately failed, so this time the Japanese invaded North China, we will continue and will not give up until the Japanese are driven out of China.
!”
"Your courage is commendable!" Ma Xingkong gave a thumbs up: "For this reason alone, I admire you!"
"Don't worry about admiration!" Rose sighed and said: "What a pity, you are going to kill me. Not only do we have to fight the Japanese, but we also have to guard against you and suffer from both sides!"
"We?" Ma Xingkong glanced at his military uniform and smiled: "I am me and they are them. I will not stop giving orders. If I am pressed, I will go up the mountain again!"
After chatting for a while, Rose suddenly made an invitation: "Are you interested in visiting northern Shaanxi?"
"Northern Shaanxi? That's your territory!" Ma Xingkong looked at Rose warily.
Rose smiled: "Don't worry, I promise you will be fine. You have helped us so much this time, you are our friend!"
"You have to think about this carefully!" Ma Xingkong scratched his head: "My second brother is fighting with you now. If I go, I will definitely bring trouble to my second brother. Let's do this. I will discuss it with my second brother, even if I go
It’s probably a secret too!”
Rose nodded and looked outside the door. Wang Wenrui and his cavalry had long disappeared. She said: "Notify me as soon as you have an answer. It will be in the private room on the second floor of Lao Sun's house! You know how to find me. I hope to meet you in northern Shaanxi."
It’s your turn.” After saying that, he jumped on his horse and drove away.
Li Yong looked at Rose's back and shook his head and sighed. Mu Yunchen and Liu Wu walked to Ma Xingkong. Ma Xingkong told Rose's invitation. Liu Wu nodded: "We are now considered to be members of the Northeast Army. We are doing things."
You can't just do whatever you want, it's best to see what the young commander wants!"
Zhang Xueliang quickly sent his confidants to lead the defense of Tongguan to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Ma Xingkong and his brother returned to Xi'an. Without further ado, Ma Xingkong went to find Zhang Xueliang in the afternoon of his return. Zhang Xueliang
Listen, he pondered for a long time, and then said after a long while: "Brother means..."
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "I want to hear your opinion. I know this is an extraordinary period. You are fighting with them. If I go, I will definitely bring you unnecessary trouble. But I think those people in northern Shaanxi
They are not bandits in the true sense, at least they still fight the Japanese, and for this reason alone, I, Ma Xingkong, look at them differently!"
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Yes! The Japanese are indeed hateful!"
On the next day, the Northwest Suppression General suddenly issued an arrival order. In view of Ma Xingkong's disruption of Shaanxi's defense and the chaos in Tongguan, but the disappearance of the general and brigade commander Chen Shufan, and the release of the Japanese transport team, the Suppression General decided to revoke Major Ma Xingkong's adjutant.
They were not allowed to stay in the military camp unless they were dismissed from their posts, dismissed from the military, and related persons. Overnight, from the hero who saved Shaanxi to a civilian, Li Yong felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to talk to Zhang Xueliang for argument. He was stopped by Liu Wu.
Liu Wudao: "You don't understand this. Aren't you going to northern Shaanxi? How can you go with the reputation of the Northeastern Army? Only by reducing your position to serve the people can you do things well!"
Long Jie, Li Yong and others suddenly realized it. Li Yong smiled and said to Ma Xingkong: "Boss, if you go to northern Shaanxi, you must take me with you, how about it!"
Long Jie laughed and said, "You are a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking!"
"Go!" Li Yong glared at Long Jie: "You all like to be a monk, but I don't want to. For my happiness, I must go!"
Ma Xingkong smiled slightly: "Okay! Then I'll take you with me! I've given you a chance, it's up to you whether you have this fate!"
Naturally, he didn't have so many taboos after he became a soldier. In the afternoon, Ma Xingkong went to Lao Sun's restaurant and met with the people sent by Rose. After discussing the itinerary, Ma Xingkong started to pack his things. He just went to see his family and didn't need to bring anything with him.
, everything was ready, and naturally a group of brothers under him wanted to follow. He went to bed early so that he could travel on the road tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, someone knocked gently on Ma Xingkong's door. Yu Mu shouted outside the door: "Brother, someone is here to see you! Get up!"
Zhang Xueliang was dressed in black and came from the upper room. Ma Xingkong felt strange. Zhang Xueliang said: "Brother, this is a letter I wrote to Northern Shaanxi. Please be sure to hand it to Duke Zhou with your own hands!"
"Duke Zhou?" Ma Xingkong looked at Zhang Xueliang: "The Duke of Zhou who dreamed?"
Zhang Xueliang smiled: "No, this Duke Zhou can be said to be one of their leaders. This matter is of great importance and must be handed over to Duke Zhou personally!"
Ma Xingkong nodded, kicked the letter in his arms, and said, "Second brother, why do I feel more and more strange about you? Can you tell me the truth? What exactly do you think?"
Zhang Xueliang sighed: "The mountains and rivers are broken, and the Japanese have invaded such a large area of our country. Our Northeast Army is all Northeastern men. We cannot kill the enemy and regain our hometown. Ever since we entered the customs, we have been looked down upon frequently. This coward must be eliminated."
out!"
"Do you want to go to the front line?" Ma Xingkong asked.
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Even if I die, I should die fighting against foreign aggression. It is also worthy of the fathers of the Northeast. Living in Shaanxi is not my wish after all. I have made many requests to the Chairman, but they were all rejected. Since he
