Chapter 61: Epiphany
"Knowing that the Tao is like this, is this happening?" As soon as Tang Cheng, who had returned from the debacle, returned to the barracks, he was called to his room by Liu Goat, and Tang Cheng was speechless in the face of Liu Goat's joking questioning. Originally, he was just going to deal with a guy like a rich man, but he didn't expect Wang Zhuang to find that there was a feeling that he had nowhere to speak, and Liu Goat didn't mean to ask about it, he just wanted to help Tang Cheng straighten out the whole thing and figure out where the difference was.
Facing Tang Cheng, who couldn't lift his spirits, Liu Goat shook his head slightly, "Liang Dahu told me everything, do you know what kind of mistakes you made?" Halfway to meet the green skins of those spear clubs, you handled it very well, but you have to know that Lu Dao We are soldiers, they are bandits, what else is there to say to a group of bandits, can you force that Wang Chuang to jump out automatically? Just escort someone to the door, whether he recognizes it or not, as long as those Qingpi identify Wang Chuang, you just have to raid the house and arrest people. ”
Tang Cheng shook his head and wanted to defend something, but was interrupted by Liu Goat's next words, "Wang Chuang is the leader of the Spear Society, and there are few people in Mengcheng who don't know about this matter, and arresting him is not a wronged one, and the murder cases committed in his hands are not small." What kind of means and reasoning do you talk about with such people? Liu Goat's eyes when he looked at Tang Cheng revealed a sense that you are still too tender, and Tang Cheng who saw it hated to dig a pit in Liu Goat's room and hide in it and not see anyone.
"Even if that Wang Chuang denied and didn't admit his relationship with the Spear Society, wouldn't there still be guns on his family's guards? We are the Mengcheng garrison, and protecting the place is our accusation, what does he want a gun to do as a flat-headed commoner, does he want to rebel? Or do you want to secretly collude with the Japanese? Either of these two charges can kill their entire family. The gun is in our hands, and the reason is also up to us, so I don't believe that he, a bandit leader, would dare to do it with you on the spot. ”
Liu Goat's seemingly shameless words made Tang Cheng understand where his mistake was, as if he thought about this errand too complicated, Liu Goat asked himself to bring a whole company of 200 people, just to prevent Wang Chuang from making a move to break the net, but he shrank his head and tail and couldn't let go. "I'll go to Wangzhuang again and get that old boy back." Tang Cheng, who was a little impatient, grabbed the shell gun on the table and carried it to his body, but was stopped by Liu Goat reaching out and stopping him.
"By the time your kid wakes up, Wang Chuang has already gone to the provincial capital." Liu Goat smoked a cigarette beautifully, he just loved to see Tang Cheng's anxious white face, so that Tang Cheng was like a child, so that he would not be silent like a little adult all day long. "After you set off, I arranged for Liu Shishi's gang to go to Wangzhuang as well, Wang Chuang will be afraid that he has been tied up by the stones." Deliberately not looking at Tang Cheng's slightly distorted face, Liu Goat held back a smile and looked out of the window pretendingly.
After a long while, Tang Cheng, who had not made a sound, let out a long breath, he had already figured out why Liu Goat wanted to say the previous words to himself. Liu Goat's purpose in saying those words was not to teach himself to be a ruffian, but to teach himself the means and ways to deal with things in his own way, if he was bolder when he was in Wangzhuang, don't think about it so shredded, maybe this matter doesn't need Liu Shishi and them to make a move.
Noticing that Tang Cheng's complexion had eased down from the corner of his eye, Liu Goat knew that Tang Cheng had figured it out, and then smiled faintly and ignored Tang Cheng who was sitting at the table, and walked out of the room by himself. The Spear Elimination Conference was a decision made by Liu Shangoat after discussing with Ge Kunshan and Li Linge, and it was a matter that was beneficial to all three parties, Ge Kunshan and Li Linge had no reason to oppose it, he just didn't expect that Tang Cheng, who led troops alone for the first time, would end in failure. gave too high hopes to Tang Cheng, so Liu Goat didn't want to see Tang Cheng's frustration, and those words just now were deliberately waking up Tang Cheng, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.
Tang Cheng sat quietly at the table, his eyes that seemed to be staring at the table were actually unfocused, and his mind was still thinking about Liu Goat's words just now. When he was in Shanghai, Xie Bo mentioned to him for the first time about joining the Second Company, and Tang Cheng's reaction at that time was to refuse, not that Tang Cheng was not interested in those guns, he just refused to the national army. Tang Cheng, who had followed Robert to the north and south since he was a child, had seen too many ruffians, so much so that when he heard the name of the national army, he would think of those ruffians who blocked the road and robbed the road.
At the beginning, Xie Bo was promised to enter the second company just to avoid trouble, so he and Xie Bo were separated from each other in Suzhou and went to Nanjing alone, but fate really set everything, so that he met Liu Goat again in Nanjing and really entered the second company. What happened next left Tang Cheng with no time to think about these things, because he spent all his time learning from Xie Bo's notebook and Liu Goat how to fight and save his own life, and after escaping to Mengcheng, Tang Cheng found that he no longer seemed to refuse to be a national soldier.
Tang Cheng, who no longer refused to be a national army, tried hard to do everything well, but Liu Goat's words just now once again overturned the thoughts in his heart. According to what Liu Goat just said, he should go to Wang Zhuang and go directly to the door to find trouble with Wang Chuang, no matter whether Wang Chuang is arguing with him or not, as long as he casually arrests someone and identifies Wang Chuang as the head of the Spear Club, and then raids the house and arrests people. He took a whole 200 people to Wang Zhuang, and Wang Chuang would never dare to be tough with himself.
Thinking about everything straightened out, there was no flaw in what Liu Goat said, but Tang Cheng's heart was still a little uncomfortable. If you really bring someone to the door, what is the difference between yourself and the soldiers you saw when you were a child, you must know that Lu Dao, he has hated that kind of ruffians since he was a child, does Liu Goat want to teach himself to be a soldier like that? Tang Cheng, who was sitting at the table, shook his somewhat cloudy head vigorously, trying his best to shake this thought out of his head, but he was like this, the clearer this thought became.
Liu Goat, who came out of the room, actually didn't go far, but kept standing outside the window and silently watching Tang Cheng in the room. What Tang Cheng thought in his heart, Liu Goat could only guess a rough idea, but he knew that this was the most critical hurdle for Tang Cheng, as long as he could pass this hurdle, Tang Cheng could really grow into a qualified soldier, otherwise he could only be a child who could not grow up.
The reason why Liu Shanyang said those words just now was not because he wanted to teach Tang Cheng to be a soldier like himself, he was just teaching Tang Cheng how to be a soldier. Wang Chuang is a bandit leader who has been confirmed, and using some unconventional means against him is not considered to oppress the people, if Tang Cheng can arrest Wang Chuang back to Mengcheng this time, I believe that many people in Wangzhuang will set off firecrackers to celebrate.
When he was in Nanjing, Professor Liu Shanyang gave Tang Cheng the ability to fight and save his life, but a qualified soldier could not just fight, and Tang Cheng, who was pinned on by Liu Shanyang, should also become a qualified officer. The difference between an officer and an ordinary soldier is to be responsible, never shirk when a decision needs to be made, Wang Chuang is a bandit leader who has been in the mix for many years, and when he sent Tang Cheng to lead the troops to clean up the spear club, Liu Goat had already thought that Tang Cheng might return in vain, but he still sent Tang Cheng to Wang Zhuang.
From the night killing of those Japanese who opened shops in Shanghai, to the fierce battle in Nanjing, and then to the escape from Nanjing to avoid the chaos in Mengcheng, Tang City seems to have gone too well. Liu Goat didn't care if Tang Cheng could bring Wang Chuang back, he just wanted to create a chance for Tang Cheng to touch the nail, so that Tang Cheng, who was only interested in learning to fight, would have more opportunities and regrets to face difficulties, because only in this way could Tang Cheng understand the responsibility and responsibility that he should have as an officer.
A qualified officer who has really grown up can't always be smooth sailing, he needs to be sharpened on the battlefield and have the courage to burst out in the face of difficulties, and Liu Goat is creating such an opportunity for Tang Cheng. What Liu Shanyang wanted to see was a face-to-face confrontation between Tang Cheng and Wang Chuang, but things were a little beyond his expectations, Tang Cheng didn't even enter Wang Chuang's mansion, but just captured those spear club gangs and came back. Maybe Tang Cheng did this because of his considerations, but these are not what Liu Goat needs to consider, he just hopes that Tang Cheng can really grow up through this loss, or his hard work will be in vain.
Tang Cheng, who stayed alone in the room, stayed at the table all the time, and for a whole afternoon, Tang Cheng didn't even change his posture, just sat still, and Liu Goat, who was guarding outside the window, never left, just watched Tang Cheng inside through the window, and the two of them spent a whole afternoon like this. It wasn't until Liu Shishi, who was sent to Wangzhuang by Liu Shanyang, brought people back to the barracks, and Liu Goat, who was standing outside the window, finally left, and the main reason why Liu Shishi returned to the barracks an afternoon later than Tang Cheng was that he went to pursue Wang Chuang on the way to the provincial capital.
Wang Chuang, who never knew how to be afraid, was startled by the movement of Tang Cheng in Wangzhuang, and not long after Tang Cheng left Wangzhuang with 1 company, Wang Chuang, who had cleaned up the softness, rushed to the provincial capital with the guards at home. It's a pity that the rifles and shell guns in the hands of the Wang family are not inferior to the light machine guns and grenades brought by Liu Shi, and after a short firefight, more than a dozen members of the Wang family, together with those soft ones, have become Liu Shishi's prisoners and trophies.
"Huh" also heard the jubilant Tang Cheng Chang in the barracks let out a sigh of relief, and his face, which had been tense, softened. Tang Cheng, who had been sitting alone for an afternoon, was not drilling the horns of the bull as Liu Goat thought, he was just blaming himself, blaming himself for smashing the task this time. Tang Cheng already knew where his mistake was, recalling Liu Goat's expression just now, he finally knew Liu Goat's hard work, Liu Shi's triumphant return finally made Tang Cheng unload the big stone in his heart.
