When Yan Xishan came out of the house, he saw a group of Eighth Route Army cavalry coming from the village. The leader was Liu Yimin.
When he arrived in front of Yan Xishan, Liu Yimin jumped off his horse, threw the reins to Li Hongjun behind him, straightened his military uniform, and saluted with a snap: "Report to Commander Yan: Liu Yimin, commander of the 18th Group Army's teaching division, is reporting to you, please give instructions."
!”
Yan Xishan's eyes, eyebrows, and nose were all smiling: "Oh, brother, silly boy, you miss this old man so much! Stop saluting, come here, come here, show me, it's been more than a year in the blink of an eye.
No more, let me see quickly, he has grown stronger!"
With that said, Yan Xishan stepped forward and reached out to hold Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin felt funny when he saw Yan Xishan wearing a long robe and a short coat. Which song was this old man singing from? Why did he dress up like a rich man? But, that's okay! This old man is already fat and big-eared.
, with bright eyes, and dressed like this, he really looks like a kind old man.
Yan Xishan pulled Liu Yimin to look at him, and Liu Yimin also looked at Yan Xishan. The two of them were like old friends, seemingly reunited after a long separation.
Among the warlords of the Republic of China, Yan Xishan paid the most attention to security. In this small Guxian Village, Yan Xishan's internal service troops, guards, guards, military police headquarters and other troops were stationed. As the old saying goes,
, the shadow of a famous tree, Liu Yimin’s fame makes
He got into a lot of troubles, and Yan Xishan had orders, so the guard troops naturally gave him the green light, led the way, and escorted him to the door of Yan Xishan's residence smoothly. If someone else had replaced him, he would have had to wait in front of Yan Xishan's residence.
Only after a series of inspections.
After the greetings, Yan Xishan took Liu Yimin's hand and went to his headquarters.
Yan Xishan's office was a large kiln with white paper on the windows. It was almost dark at this time, and a few lanterns were lit in the cave, which made it look bright.
Yan Xishan first asked Lu Huande, the adjutant chief of the Chief's Department, to personally bring Liu Yimin washing water and a coarse cloth handkerchief for Liu Yimin to wash his face. He then asked Lu Huande to personally arrange for Liu Yimin's guards to wash their faces, drink tea, and prepare for meals. He also asked the chief attendant to order them to wash their faces, drink tea, and prepare meals.
Zhang Fengji was responsible for arranging accommodation for Liu Yimin and providing security. He was as attentive as the elders he met when a wanderer returned home.
After Liu Yimin washed his face, he looked back and saw Yan Xishan sitting cross-legged in front of the kang table, wearing Toric glasses and looking at him with a smile.
Liu Yimin took off his shoes and sat down on the kang.
At this time, Secretary-General Wu Shaozhi of the Second War Zone Chief's Department, Secretary Xu Chonghou and Deputy Chief of Staff Chu Xichun also arrived at Yan Xishan's office. Yan Xishan thought for a moment, picked up the brush on the kang table, and printed the words "Second War
The district chief's headquarters wrote the word "mouth seal" on a piece of paper with the word "paper", and wrote three pieces in a row and handed them to Wu Shaozhi, Chu Xichun, and Xu Chonghou.
Liu Yimin thought for a long time before he figured out that the word "kou shu" most likely came from "san shou", which meant that the three people should keep the conversation between him and Yan Xishan secret.
Before time travel, Liu Yimin loved military affairs and was involved in many anecdotes about strange people in the Republic of China. Yan Xishan was one of the strange people in the Republic of China, so Liu Yimin naturally knew something about his deeds. After traveling through time, he interacted with Yan Xishan several times and felt that he was interested in him.
I must understand. Unexpectedly, before they started talking, Liu Yimin was secretly surprised by Yan Xishan's behavior. This old man is in deep water!
Yan Xishan first asked Liu Yimin about his parachuting experience. After listening to it, he insisted that it must be Japanese secret agents who discovered the plane's takeoff time, so the kid mobilized the fleet in advance to ambush. What the kid is best at is doing this kind of unattractive thing.
It turned out that there was a Japanese spy around him, and he almost killed him, so he was caught and shot.
Then, Yan Xishan took out the transcripts of two major Japanese news broadcasts transcribed by the Second War Zone Commander's Department for Liu Yimin to review. After reading them, Liu Yimin chuckled and told Yan Xishan that his uniform was stained with blood at that time.
The little devil's military dog smelled the smell of blood and chased after it, so he simply replaced it with a Japanese dog.
Wearing military uniforms, he swaggered to the road and hailed a Japs motorcycle. He followed the road to Huo County. He ate in the city, took a bath, killed the Japs in the bath along the way, and then entered the headquarters of the 109th Division.
, and killed Shan Gangchonghou, the commander of the Little Japanese Division. Then he quietly left Huo County.
Just after he finished speaking, he heard a sweet cry. When Liu Yimin looked back, he saw two women leaning against the door frame, screaming with wide eyes. One of them was Wu Xian'er, the fifth girl he had seen in Taiyuan last time, and the other
Don't know who it is.
When Yan Xishan saw Mrs. Ru Xu Lansen and Fifth Sister, he introduced to Liu Yimin with a smile: "Brother, the one next to Fifth Sister is your second sister-in-law. You should also get to know each other."
Yan Xishan has always wanted to achieve "three immortals" in "making meritorious service, establishing virtue, and establishing reputation" throughout his life. He treats others, is self-disciplined, governs his subordinates, has strict family education, and has a set of political tactics. According to his style, it is absolutely
Mrs. Ru will not be allowed to appear in front of strangers. His office is also a military aircraft
Without his consent, even a cat or a mouse cannot enter this important place, let alone a human being. If Mrs. Xu Lansen and Wu Meizi can come here, it must be arranged by Yan Xishan, with the purpose of creating a kind of
A very cordial atmosphere. In other words, Liu Yimin was not treated as an outsider.
Liu Yimin knew that Yan Xishan's first wife had no children, and that his five children were all born to his concubine Xu Lansen. When he heard that Yan Xishan was the second sister-in-law, Liu Yimin quickly got off the kang, walked to Xu Lansen, and saluted respectfully.
Say hello to sister-in-law.
This made Xu Lansen blush with excitement and kept saying: "What a day it is today. For such a great anti-Japanese hero to salute me, this must be the blessing I gained in my previous life."
Wu Xian'er smiled sweetly at the side and said: "Second sister-in-law is right. Today is a really good day. Magpies are chirping early in the morning. I was still wondering where the distinguished guest was, but I didn't expect it was the great hero General Liu.
Here we come. What a coincidence."
Yan Xishan waved his hand: "Okay, okay, women talk a lot. You go to the banquet and call me when you have made arrangements. We have something to do!"
Xu Lansen and Wu Xian'er then gave Liu Yimin a blessing and said goodbye.
After Liu Yimin sat down on the kang again, Yan Xishan said: "In ancient times, there was Jing Ke who attacked Qin, and now there is Master Liu who stabs the mountains and hills at night. Don't let the ancients be more beautiful than before! But, brother, silly boy, this matter is terrible
You can't do it for a long time. If you let the little devil get a hold of your temper, he might set up a trap to lure you into taking the bait. That would be too dangerous."
Liu Yimin laughed: "Thank you, Commander Yan, for your concern. It doesn't matter. I don't have any other abilities. I am born to kill little devils. When they meet me, they are unlucky for eight lifetimes! It's not my fault. Who asked them to come?"
What about China’s burning, killing and looting?”
Next, it was mainly Yan Xishan who spoke and Liu Yimin listened.
Liu Yimin remembered an information he read on the Internet before traveling through time, saying that Yan Xishan only attended private school for three years before he became famous, and that he took the military preparation school exams with Zhao Lianyou from Dai County as his substitute. Liu Yimin didn't know the basis for this statement, but in front of him
Yan Xishan is definitely not a person who has only attended private school for three years. During the conversation, classics and anecdotes came to him easily. His Wutai accent is heavy, and sometimes he really can't understand what he says if he doesn't pay attention.
Yan Xishan is also a person who is good at instilling his own thoughts in others. He even told Liu Yimin about the deployment of Shanxi before the Anti-Japanese War. When talking about sticking to Yuanping, he even recited his poem "Battle of Yuanping" in a Wutai accent: "
Yuan Ping's battle was the fiercest in the region, with only 500 people left in the third regiment. They held the third hospital for eleven days, Yuzhen brigade commander Jian Chengren said. "After reciting, his eyes were shining brightly, and Liu Yimin felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
Seeing that Liu Yimin had listened, Yan Xishan recited his poem "Xinkou Service" again: "Xinkou was deployed calmly, all because of Yuanping's resistance to the enemy. If Niangguan had not failed, how could it be possible to read the enemy attack for three terms?"
After that, he told Liu Yimin in detail his own summary of the gains and losses of the Xinkou Battle. The conclusion was that the Japanese army's artillery fire was too powerful and their training level was high. This kind of battle could never be fought again, and the Jinsui Army could not afford it.
Liu Yimin knew that although the old man in front of him was good at speculating, he had his own theoretical system. If he wanted to persuade him, he had to find the right breakthrough point. Otherwise, he could deal with whatever you say and it would not be effective. Just make peace with it as it comes.
, don’t panic, wait until Yan Laoxi has finished speaking and venting before talking.
Liu Yimin knew that the chairman asked him to drop by to do Yan Xishan's work. The chairman wanted to use his and the instructor's achievements since the war to cheer up Yan Xishan. At the same time, he also wanted to use a powerful instructor to suppress Yan Xishan and warn him.
Yan Xishan, let him understand that there is no benefit in going against the Communist Party. I understand this truth myself, and I am afraid Yan Xishan will understand it after a little thought. In this matter, we can only do our best. Don't say that Yan Xishan is full of crooked theories, and he has always adhered to them in the past.
Anti-communism, even the current situation, is full of contradictions under the banner of joint anti-Japanese war. If our party and our army want to develop greatly in the war of resistance, it will inevitably arouse Chiang Kai-shek's vigilance. Not to mention Yan Xishan, who turned out to be the Tu emperor of Shanxi.
Every plant and tree in Shanxi is regarded as their own. Now that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army are gathered in Shanxi to fight against the Japanese and build base areas at the same time, it would be strange not to have a conflict with Yan Xishan! Such a conflict of fundamental interests cannot be said just by talking about it.
Resolved?
Liu Yimin, who was well prepared, became Yan Xishan's best audience.
Yan Xishan finally finished speaking, and Liu Yimin's stomach growled. Yan Xishan smiled sheepishly: "Haha, brother, I'm just talking too much. I'm afraid the food at the banquet has gone cold. Let's go, old man, I'll have a drink with you."
cup!"
Liu Yimin had been hungry for a long time, and he wished Yan Xishan had said this! After hearing this, he got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said with a smile: "I thought Commander Yan was going to talk to me all night, but I didn't expect that he would let me eat so soon. Thank you.
!”
Yan Xishan chuckled.
The banquet was arranged in another cave dwelling in the yard. When Yan Xishan and Liu Yimin came in, Zhao Daiwen, Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government and Director of the Political Department of the Second War Zone, led Yang Aiyuan, Sun Chu, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, and Liang Huazhi were already there
Waiting
At this time, although Yan Xishan established a new organization, the "National Revolutionary Comrades Association", he had not yet conducted any oven training. Therefore, Liu Yimin lost the opportunity to watch the generals of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the thirteen senior officials shouting "long live the president".
Chance.
Yan Xishan diligently introduced Liu Yimin one by one, and then invited Liu Yimin to take a seat.
The banquet table was a large square table that could seat eight people in total. When Liu Yimin saw Yan Xishan asking him to sit at the table, he hurriedly declined: "With Commander Yan and Chairman Zhao here, how can I take my turn to sit at the table? I can see you all tonight,
I am already very happy. I will sit next to Commander Yan’s left hand and pour wine for Commander Yan and Chairman Zhao.”
It is said that Zhao Daiwen Cilong was inspired by his admiration for Lu Longqi, the famous governor of the Qing Dynasty. In Shanxi, Zhao Daiwen is as famous as Yan Xishan. The two are from the same hometown and were classmates when they studied in Japan. Zhao Daiwen is not only Yan Xishan's political staunch
Allies, personal relationship between two people
Very good. However, Zhao Daiwen is different from Yan Xishan. He respected Confucius and Mencius throughout his life, and also studied the I Ching and Buddhism intensively. He is a well-educated man with upright character. Now he is over 70 years old. With the honor of Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government,
But he was wearing a fat, faded coarse gray homespun soldier's uniform.
Hearing that the famous Liu Yimin's words were so humble, Zhao Daiwen couldn't help but take a deep look at Liu Yimin, then glanced at Yang Aiyuan, Sun Chu, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, Liang Huazhi and others, and sighed secretly in his heart, saying:
"Commander, it's rare to meet a young talent like Master Liu. How old are you and me? Just follow Master Liu!"
Then everyone sat down one after another.
The wine is aged Baifen, and it emits a strong aroma as soon as the bottle is opened.
Yan Xishan picked up the wine bowl, stood up and said loudly: "Last time in Taiyuan, I had a drink with General Liu Yimin. What they said at that time was that I wish General Liu Yimin would kill more Japanese invaders and bring glory to our nation! After a farewell to Taiyuan
, General Liu Yimin
The army led the Eighth Route Army's teaching division to attack Tianjin, capture Qingdao, capture Lianyungang, recover Jinan, and eliminate the rampant Japanese Eighth Division, Tenth Division, Twenty-first Division, Thirty-third Division, and Third Division.
14th Division, 108th Division
Regiment and a series of independent mixed brigades and garrison troops, countless little Japanese died under his sword. Just two days ago, on his way back to Shaanxi, General Liu Yimin also sneaked into Huo County and killed the third soldier with one shot.
Yamaoka, commander of the 109th Division
Lieutenant General Chonghou, with less than 30 troops, repelled the pursuit of more than 600 Japs. My old man's blood boiled after hearing this. He is really a young hero! Come, let's have a bowl together and support General Liu.
Suppress the shock. Do it!”
After saying that, Yan Xishan touched the wine bowl to Liu Yimin, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp.
Except for Mr. Zhao Daiwen, everyone else clinked their wine bowls and drank.
After drinking the wine, Liu Yimin wiped his mouth, smiled, and said: "What a good wine! Drinking it makes your blood boil, and you want to rush into the Japanese army, take the head of the Japanese chief, and enjoy the wine! Commander Yan, Zhao
Chairman, everyone, thank you for your love!"
Zhao Daiwen saw Liu Yimin speaking with high spirits and heroic spirit. He felt very fond of it. He personally served Liu Yimin dishes and said slowly: "Master Liu, come, sit down and eat. Don't see anyone else. I'm afraid I'm hungry after a long march."
, hurry up and relieve your hunger."
Yan Xishan also said: "Yes, yes, stop talking and take a bite. Try Shanxi's famous food."
Liu Yimin was indeed hungry, so he didn't want to be polite. He picked a piece of oily meat and put it in his mouth. After tasting it for a while, he couldn't help but cheer.
Ever since Yang Aiyuan led 100,000 Jinsui troops to cross the river to attack Xi'an but failed, the words Liu Yimin have been firmly etched in his heart. When they met for the first time, his eyes couldn't help but wander around Liu Yimin's face. Liu Yimin laughed and said: "
Commander Yang, is there something wrong with my face? Stop looking at me, I will be too embarrassed to eat or drink if you look at me again!"
Liu Yimin was a famous general of the Eighth Route Army. There was a certain psychological gap between these generals of the Jinsui Army and him. In particular, he once took away 5 million yuan from Yan Xishan, sent a small force to cause trouble in Pingyao City, and then evacuated the city after regaining Taiyuan.
Taiyuan, let the Jinsui Army's years of hard work be ruined. To be honest, if it were not for the united resistance, there would be many people in the Jinsui Army who wanted to kill him.
Seeing Liu Yimin's elegant and elegant character and his humorous speech, several Jin-Sui army generals burst into laughter.
Yang Aiyuan stood up and said: "I was thinking just now. I don't know how many people thought that Liu Yimin must be a leopard-headed, ring-eyed, and thunderous fighting man. How could they have thought that Mr. Liu would be so elegant and look like a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River?"
Look. Come, I'll give you a bowl!"
Liu Yimin knew that Yang Aiyuan was Yan Xishan's de facto military deputy. His secret to gaining Yan Xishan's trust for a long time was: "When working with the president, firstly, don't touch his power, and secondly, don't touch his money. Do whatever he asks you to do."
Do it, if I don’t let you do it, don’t do it!”
Seeing Yang Aiyuan toasting, Liu Yimin did not refuse, stood up and said loudly: "The Shanxi-Sui Army, under the command of Commander Yan, has always been at the forefront of the Anti-Japanese War. The Battle of Xinkou once made the little devils tremble with fear. In the past more than a year of the War of Resistance, the Shanxi-Sui Army
Working closely with the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army and reinforcements from various places, the fight was small
The Japanese were huddled on the traffic lines and had to take a defensive position. Shanxi can be called a model area for the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the war of resistance. The Shanxi-Sui Army is also a strong supporter of the Eighth Route Army in persisting in the war of resistance in Shanxi. Commander Yang, come, let me have a bowl of wine with you.
I wish your and our armies can unite and cooperate to drive the Japanese invaders out of Shanxi as soon as possible!"
After speaking, Liu Yimin raised his wine bowl, touched it to Yang Aiyuan, raised his head and drank.
Everyone here is a direct descendant of Yan Xishan. They are well aware of Yan Xishan’s inner thoughts and are extremely resistant to the Eighth Route Army’s establishment of a base in Shanxi. Although he and Liu Yimin were sitting at the same table drinking and laughing and talking to each other,
their hearts
Li understood very well that although the young man in front of him was only a division commander, I am afraid that the strength of his division was much greater than that of the entire Shanxi-Sui Army. Otherwise, how could a small division commander dare to be so arrogant and talk to Commander Yan?
call each other brothers.
Sun Chu and Yang Aiyuan were classmates at the Baoding Military Academy. One was the commander of the Sixth Group Army and the other was the deputy commander. They were colleagues at work and close friends in life. Among the generals of the Jinsui Army, Sun Chu was known for his intelligence, alertness, and thoughtfulness.
Known for his agility and good strategy, he directly commanded the Battle of Pingxingguan. However, he was also the anti-communist vanguard in the Shanxi-Sui Army.
