Chapter 172: Persuading Murong
In this way, in this small town in the middle of nowhere, everyone does their own thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huo Xiaoshan was training recruits, Murong Pei's sister was influenced by Zhao Wenxuan's progress, and Zheng Youjian led a few officers who did not participate in the training to have fun.
But how long can this peaceful life last now?
On this day, Zheng Youjian received a telegram from his subordinates in a hurry, so he broke up the game and gathered his officers together, including Huo Xiaoshan, of course.
His usually focused little eyes showed a little seriousness, a little distress and a little helplessness, looking at the subordinates below who were waiting for him to speak, he raised the telegram in his hand and said: "The good days are over, and there is going to be a war." ”
The subordinate officers looked at each other, they didn't understand much, isn't this the time for war? Does the war have anything to do with their quartermaster's office?
Seeing that his subordinates all showed confused expressions, Zheng Youjian added: "I mean it's going to be a big battle." ”
Huo Xiaoshan stepped forward to take the telegram from Zheng Youjian's hand, read it again, and was also shocked in his heart.
The devils actually occupied these places, the Japanese army landed from Shandong, attacked from north to south, the Chinese army in Shandong retreated without a fight, lost several cities, and the enemy and us are currently fighting fiercely in Linyi.
The Japanese army in the south has already crossed the river, attacking from the south to the north, this is to encircle and destroy the main force of the Chinese army in one battle.
And Chuxian County, where they are located, is in this encirclement, how can the Chinese army in Shandong retreat without a fight? Is this another copy of the Northeast Army?
No, isn't the commander of the Chinese army in Shandong the cousin of Zheng Youjian?
Suddenly, Huo Xiaoshan understood the reason why Zheng Youjian was distressed and helpless, this way of fighting without a fight, I don't know if the central government will be held accountable for the loss of land? If it is investigated, won't this Director Zheng's backstage fall?
Huo Shan was thinking about it, and the officers who had already circulated the telegram were already talking about it.
A piece of paper wakes up the dreamer.
These officers of the quartermaster department have been in Jiangbei, and have never fought face-to-face with the Japanese army, and there is such a wonderful director who regards military affairs as a child's play, although they also know that the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is not optimistic, but they all hold the mentality of counting one day at a time, and it is not until today that they find that the war is imminent, and they finally have to face the cruel reality.
Without the baptism of war, he was not calm, and the discussion was not so much a plan for the war of resistance as a cover for the panic caused by fear.
"Okay, let's be in good spirits, one is like a dead mother." Zheng Youjian directly came to a foul word, and his old subordinates all knew that when this master was happy, he smiled like a profiteer, but when he scolded people, he was in an unhappy mood, and he must not touch his moldy head, so he shut up in unison.
"From now on, everyone except for the guards at the armory who has a business trip to receive and distribute military supplies, they will all go to train with Huo Xiaoshan! You all go," he gestured at the officers.
He saw that those officers had unconvincing faces with their mouths open, and scolded: "Don't be special, I don't know what to do, let you practice to save your life, you have a few brushes, others don't know but I know best!" ”
"And you!" He pointed at Huo Xiaoshan, "You can send those three girls wherever you want!" You can do it, at first you got two, and now you get another one, Lao Tzu, this is a military camp, not a place to raise a mother-in-law! ”
Huo Xiaoshan didn't squeak, and stood up very militaryly, obviously obeying the order.
Zheng Youjian snorted, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Huo Xiaoshan's statement.
He didn't bother to say anything, just waved his hand, and his subordinates knew that this was Lord Shangfeng's meeting, so they retreated with interest, leaving Zheng Youjian leaning on the Taishi chair, stroking and playing with the golden slipper he got from the reckless man in Hubei, thinking about his own thoughts.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't take Zheng Youjian's words to heart just now, one was that he was used to the strange character of this dead fat man, who sometimes had wind and sometimes rain, and the other was that he had long thought about sending Murong Pei and them away, but he didn't expect to come so quickly.
He had already discussed with Zhao Wenxuan to let her take Murong Pei and the little girl together, Zhao Wenxuan was not an ordinary woman, and it was not difficult to arrange a good place for the two girls, but it would take some effort to persuade his maid to go, he said secretly.
Sure enough, after dinner, after Huo Xiaoshan proposed to send Murong Pei and the others away, Murong Pei pursed his mouth like a scoop.
No matter how Huo Xiaoshan persuaded him, Murong Pei just didn't nod.
The little sister could only watch Huo Xiaoshan pitifully from the side and persuade Murong Pei bitterly, she had long regarded herself and Brother Xiaoshan and Sister Yaya as a family, both of them were her backbones, it was okay to go by herself, it was okay not to go, I just hoped that they could talk about a result, otherwise how could the two backbones and two hearts make her good?
Zhao Wenxuan saw the two of them on the side, but smiled and didn't say anything, and didn't help Huo Xiaoshan be a lobbyist.
Huo Xiaoshan said that it was nothing more than those words, but if you have something to say, I will say it, Murong Pei always refuted it reasonably.
Huo Xiaoshan said, "Look at the current enemy, the devil is fierce, and it is inconvenient for me to go to the battlefield with you, and I have to be distracted to take care of you."
Murong Pei retorted, "Who takes care of you?" My spear is better than your soldiers, and I can run better than your soldiers."
Huo Xiaoshan said, "Fighting devils is a man's business."
Murong Pei retorted, "The rise and fall of the country, the little woman is also responsible, and in ancient times, Mulan was subordinate to her father's army."
Huo Xiaoshan said, "I feel sorry for you, I'm afraid that you will be injured on the battlefield."
Murong Pei retorted: "Then why are you injured on the battlefield?" Won't I feel distressed? ”
Huo Xiaoshan said, "If you go with Sister Wen Xuan, you will shoot and run away, just take care of Sister Wen Xuan."
Murong Pei retorted, "Sister Wen Xuan doesn't need me to take care of her, she has that considerate hairy beard by her side."
Huo Xiaoshan said: "The little sister is still young, and she also needs you to be taken care of as a sister."
Murong Pei retorted, "The children of poor families are in charge early, and she was born earlier than me."
……
After a long conversation, he talked about the fact that the fire had been extinguished, but the result of the conversation was that there was another poor person in the house in addition to the little sister - Huo Xiaoshan.
He put the facts on the table all night to reason and argue, but he couldn't convince Murong Pei, he felt that since he went back to the Yangtze River and was in danger and reunited, his own maid has become more and more close and dependent on him, plus a touch of coquettishness, he is really out of line.
"Alas," Huo Xiaoshan let out a rare sigh, "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and I don't deceive me!" ”
He saw that the three girls in the room were looking at him strangely, and he didn't know why he had this feeling, how he was so good and talked to the Buddha again, so he explained: "The equality of all beings means the equality of men and women, and men and women are also equal before the Anti-Japanese War. ”
Huo Xiaoshan's helpless words amused the three girls at once, Zhao Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, the little girl covered her mouth and snickered, Murong Pei laughed first, couldn't help but laugh again, and the four people in the room finally laughed together. (To be continued.) )
