Lao Hui's matter is over, and Ma Xingkong and his gang are very happy. There is a severe shortage of food in northern Shaanxi, and there is not much wine. Long Jie found Rose. Rose asked Zhou Enlai for instructions and specially approved two jars for them. How about two jars of wine?
There was enough for these dozen people to share, so no one could drink less. Ma Xingkong quietly left the wine table with the wine bowl in hand and walked outside the courtyard gate. Mu Yunchen hurriedly followed.
They already knew that Zhang Xueliang wanted to use the road. Let’s not say whether they would let him go. Even if they let Zhang Xueliang, they would still die. Ma Xingkong let out a long sigh, raised his head and drank the bowl of wine in one gulp. Mu Yun
Chen Chen patted Ma Xingkong and said, "Brother, what do you think of ***?"
"It's hard to say!" Ma Xingkong smacked his mouth. He had just been aroused by alcohol addiction.
Mu Yunchen said: "We have been everywhere these days. To be honest, *** has done some things for the poor here, whether it is voluntarily or casually, in short, there is still some truth!"
"Haha!" Ma Xingkong smiled: "Before I came here, someone suggested that I should not be bribed by ***. I didn't expect that a smart person like you would be bribed by someone earlier than me!"
Mu Yunchen shook his head: "It's not too much to win over. Be honest. You've seen it in the Northeast. The Japanese don't care what party you belong to. As long as they are disobedient, they will be killed. Let me see. Drive the Japanese out first."
It’s never too late to fight! Why doesn’t the chairman understand?”
Ma Xingkong said: "The chairman of the committee wants to eliminate these people in northern Shaanxi as soon as possible because he understands so well. If we start with the Japanese, we will give these people the opportunity to strengthen themselves. We can eliminate them when they are too strong to lose. Then we can
It will cost more than today!”
"Are you saying that their resistance to Japan is fake and their own development is real?" Mu Yunchen glared at Ma Xingkong.
Ma Xingkong nodded: "You and I don't understand politics, we only know about fighting. The more chaotic the world is, the more chaotic bandits like us can survive. If the world calms down and the people have enough food and clothing, only fools will be willing to be bandits. To put it bluntly, we and ***
In fact, it’s the same, just to earn a living, but we don’t have such lofty ambitions as others!”
"Then what should we do?" Mu Yunchen asked.
Ma Xingkong looked around and whispered to Mu Yunchen: "Be careful, it's best to rush back to Xi'an as soon as possible to explain to the second brother, so that the second brother will not continue to suffer losses and be fooled!"
"General Ma! We, Vice Chairman Zhou, have invited you. Please come over quickly!" A messenger with a gun dismounted at the door, hurried in, and saluted Ma Xingkong.
"What's going on?" I've stayed in the Northeast for too long, so my words have a Northeast flavor.
The messenger shook his head: "I don't know. It sounds quite anxious. General Ma should get ready as soon as possible. Come with me!"
We did not go to the cave dwelling where Zhou Enlai lived, but went north along the road. In a hidden place on the north slope of Yangjialing, there were two cave dwellings. After cleaning up, the habitation was still good. When Ma Xingkong arrived, there were already three or four people there.
One of them is holding a cigarette in his hand and is reading a map. The other two, one has his hair neatly combed and straight to the back of his head, the other is wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and they are sitting cross-legged.
Talking on the kang.
Zhou Enlai took Ma Xingkong's hand: "Brother Ma, come and see, this place..." Zhou Enlai talked for a long time, but Ma Xingkong ignored him and just looked at the other people.
Zhou Enlai chuckled: "Come on, let me introduce you! This is the Ma Xingkong I told you!"
The man holding the cigarette first stretched out his hand and looked at Ma Xingkong: "I am Mao Zedong, you are Xingkong, come on, sit down... I heard that you are fighting fiercely with the Japanese in the Northeast.
Yeah! It would be much better if we had more people like you in China!"
Ma Xingkong smiled slightly: "Thank you, Chairman. We are also trying to survive. People can do anything when they are on the edge of life and death!"
"Hahaha..." Mao Zedong laughed loudly: "Well said! Well said! Now we have reached the edge of life and death. Look, Chiang Kai-shek has pacified Yunnan, and the Central Army preparing to go to Yunnan has already set off.
Going north, Yan Xishan of Shanxi also gathered a large army on the east bank of the Yellow River, and Ma Bufang gathered tens of thousands of people to press over from the west. Also, look at this red line. This is Wang Yizhe's 67th Army that has arrived at Laoshan, and there is another
The Lingqi Division has entered Yulin, and we are on the verge of life and death!"
The other two people laughed together. Ma Xingkong didn't know whose troops these were, but he had heard of the name Wang Yizhe, who was Zhang Xueliang's right-hand man. Ma Xingkong said: "Then what are you going to do?"
"One word, fight!" Zhou Enlai said: "We have always been on the defensive and we will not attack others unless they attack us. Even though the Kuomintang continued to block us, we never took the initiative to attack. This time, people are approaching our door. How can we
Can I not fight?"
"You want me to fight with you?" Ma Xingkong asked.
Mao Zedong shook his head: "No, we are now forced to go to war. I only hope that Mr. Ma can know that we Communists are committed to resisting Japan, but if anyone invades our base area, he will be beaten out!"
Ma Xingkong nodded: "Understood! Then you can continue! I'll take my leave!" After saying that, Ma Xingkong turned around and went out, leaving the four of them looking at each other. Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "This person is really interesting. He seems to be very reluctant to get involved.
He is involved in this war, but he is at the forefront of the storm. Isn't he afraid that we will hold him hostage to threaten Zhang Xueliang?"
"No!" Mao Zedong said: "He has already guessed the outcome, he just doesn't want to participate. He is unwilling to help us beat Zhang Xueliang, and he is not willing to help Zhang Xueliang beat us. This person only does it for himself, and he is a reckless hero!"
The man with glasses said: "Would you like me to do his job, maybe we can get him to join us?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Mao Zedong said: "But I heard that Zhang Zuolin sent people to Japan to study, and this person was one of them, and he was highly approved by the Japanese military circles. If this person helps, the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war will be more secure!
"
"I think it's better to let Comrade Bi Shi give it a try! Maybe he can be persuaded?" said the man with sleekly combed hair.
Ma Xingkong left Mao Zedong's war room and immediately rushed back to the cave where he lived. A group of brothers were still there drinking and bragging. Mu Yunchen was standing at the door and was relieved to see Ma Xingkong back. Not much more
When asked, Ma Xingkong said first: "Let brothers pack their things immediately, we are leaving now!"
Mu Yunchen didn't ask any more questions, turned around and ran into the cave. Not long ago, Ren Bishi led a few guards to the entrance of the cave where Ma Xingkong lived. All the horses in the yard had their saddles installed, and some were hung on them.
The baggage. Ren Bishi looked around and didn't see Ma Xingkong, so he asked someone. The person ignored him. After everyone packed up, they got on their horses and drove away. By the time Ren Bishi realized it, the yard was empty.
