"Chairman Li is indeed a hand-eyer, you can get the telegram of the mobilization of troops in the war zone, no wonder you have heard that your President Li has a broad range of friends and clever means." Liu Goat turned over the wine glass that was upside down on the table, poured it full of wine, and then took it up and made a drinking gesture to Li Linge. Liu Goat was already about to say goodbye and leave, but the telegram that Li Linge took out made him change his mind temporarily.

After leaving Nanjing, Liu Shanyang took Tangcheng and they always wanted to go to Sichuan, but with the change of route, Liu Shanyang's heart was more eager to know the news of the 88th Division. Since Li Linge was able to obtain the telegram on the mobilization of troops in the Fifth Theater, it was very likely that he would know some news related to the 88th Division, and Liu Shange suddenly changed his mind and toasted with Li Linge, just to get some news from Li Linge that he was interested in.

Tang Cheng, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but look at Li Linge, he had been with Liu Shange for a long time, and Tang Cheng also knew a little about the affairs of the national army, he didn't think that Li Linge, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, would be able to contact such a thing as the national army's troop transfer order. Moreover, the newly formed 20th Division was just a ragtag unit, so why should the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Fifth Theater be directly transferred to Xuzhou, Tang Cheng's first reaction was that this telegram on the transfer of troops was fake and something forged by Li Linge.

"I wonder what Chairman Lee means by showing me this?" Liu Goat didn't doubt the authenticity of the message like Tang Cheng, but stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and then chewed the meat in his mouth slowly. "I haven't received a warrant from the Fifth War Zone here, but we are about to leave Mengcheng and go north to Xuzhou, maybe we will meet the new 20th Division in Xuzhou, could it be that President Li means that someone in the new 20th Division will offend you, and you want me to rectify them in Xuzhou?" Li Linge didn't say the reason, Liu Goat naturally pretended to be confused, and everyone at the wine table was dizzy.

"Chief Liu said that he was joking, Li is just a businessman, where would he grudge with the soldiers of the newly formed 20th Division, and he laughed." Liu Goat's reaction made Li Linge unsure whether to tell the reason first, but the imminent departure of the new editor 20 Yes left him without a choice. In order to cover the sky in Mengcheng, Li Linge took great pains to make friends with the officers and officers of the new 20th Division, but after the Japanese soldiers occupied Nanjing, everything changed, and the imminent transfer of the new 20th Division also made Li Linge's plan to make a good plan.

Li Linge, who is very scheming, has long been thinking in his heart that if he wants to support a county magistrate who is close to him, coupled with the relationship between himself and the new 20th Division, it will be difficult for his family to make money in this Mengcheng business. Li Linge has been working hard in Anhui for many years, and his strength is extremely large, but when he went to the provincial capital this time, Li Linge was told that the new 20th Division would be transferred north to Xuzhou, which made Li Linge's plan that he had been painstakingly managing on the verge of failure, so Li Linge would make an appointment to meet Liu Goat as soon as he returned to Mengcheng, because he now had to find a way to catch Liu Goat's line.

Now there are wars everywhere, just relying on their own upper-level relationships is not enough to escort the Li family, someone must have a gun in their hands, Liu Goat's strength and domineering are also what Li Linge values, the Li family needs such a person and power. "Chief Liu, let's not talk darkly, so I'll tell the truth. The new 20th Division is about to be transferred to Xuzhou, and there is no garrison here in Mengcheng, although you are only staying in Mengcheng for a short time, I would like to ask Chief Liu to postpone going north, can you and your people stay in Mengcheng before the arrival of the receiving troops. ”

Now Li Linge has basically affirmed that this Liu Goat is a powerful character with deep scheming and deep concealment, although he may not be clear about his intentions, but he must be suspicious of what he just said and that telegram. Li Linge believed that the other party's impassivity at this time was just to be more patient than his own scheming. This Liu goat was far more difficult to deal with than he originally thought. Therefore, Li Linge could only speak first and say his intentions, because he knew in his heart that if he competed in patience, he would be able to compare with Liu Goat in front of him no matter what, who would make him ask for help now.

Liu Goat did not face Li Linge's request, but looked at the other party in a little surprise and asked, "Chairman Li, how can you conclude that the Fifth War Zone will mobilize troops to take over the defense of Mengcheng?" Liu Shange quickly thought about what Li Linge had just said in his mind, and became more and more convinced that what Tian Kui said was right, this Li Linge did have many friends of the upper echelons, if it weren't for this, Li Linge would definitely not have been able to get the dispatch telegram from the Fifth War Zone and learn about the matter of receiving the defense troops in advance.

As Liu Shangyang thought, Li Linge gave the answer without hesitation, "I have a few friends in the provincial capital and your Fifth War Zone, and the news came from them, and I also know which unit will be transferred to Mengcheng to take over the defense. Li Linge's calmness made Liu Shange not expect, he originally thought that Li Linge would use these as conditions and means to bargain with himself, but he didn't expect Li Linge to admit this matter so calmly.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Liu Goat was already full of wine and food at this time, and deliberately put on an attitude that Li Linge was still like this, and he was about to say goodbye and leave. Liu Goat's bluff made Li Linge cry and laugh, they were also good characters, how could Li Linge not see that Liu Goat was bluffing.

"Chief Liu, I really didn't lie to you, the troops who took over the new 20th Division shared house in Mengcheng will not arrive until April at the earliest, and now it's only January, I want you and your people to be stationed in Mengcheng during this period, and by the way, you can help us train the militia in Mengcheng." Li Linge winked at Liu Goat, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few of his cronies here, maybe Li Linge would have told the news he had gotten.

With Liu Goat's city and life experience, how could he not hear Li Linge's words, and put a piece of meat into his mouth, Liu Goat vaguely asked Zhang Yun to take Tang Cheng out of the city to smoke a cigarette before coming in, and Li Linge also took his cronies out of the city with interest. After repeatedly confirming with Liu Shanyang with his eyes, Tang Cheng, who was very reluctant, followed Zhang Yun out of the hall, but before leaving, Tang Cheng walked around the entire hall with a shell gun, and did not leave the hall until he confirmed that there was no danger.

"Chief Liu is a hero, even the people under you are extraordinary characters, Li will give Chief Liu another cup, and in the future, this small business will rely more on Chief Liu's care, and Li will do it first as a respect." After speaking, Li Linge raised his neck and simply drank a cup of Shaoxing Huadiao. Li Linge's words were originally some entertainment language on the scene, Liu Goat just smiled, and naturally it would not be regarded as a real thing.

Liu Goat and Li Linge spoke in a very small voice, and Tang Cheng, who was standing at the door of the hall, although they all had their ears straightened up with all their attention, they still didn't hear anything. Half an hour has passed, Tang Cheng at the entrance of the hall looked inside a little impatiently, Liu Goat and Li Linge inside were still talking, and the two people who were originally sitting opposite each other had already sat shoulder to shoulder at this time, and from Tang Cheng, he could only see two heads close together.

Tang Cheng wanted to go in and tell Liu Goat to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yun, there were not only Li Linge's cronies at the door of the hall, but also more than a dozen family members who were also carrying short guns, Tang Cheng walked in with a gun like this, I was afraid that he would not even have time to open his mouth, and he would be beaten into a sieve by random guns. Tang Cheng also knew the truth that two fists were invincible to four hands, and under Zhang Yun's hint, he could only pacing and waiting back and forth at the door of the hall, unless Liu Shange and Li Linge walked out by themselves, none of them with weapons in their hands could enter the hall.

"Let's go" When Tang Cheng lit his fourth eye, Liu Goat, whose face was not very good-looking, finally came out, and Li Linge politely sent them out of the door of the Li family, which made Tang Cheng even more suspicious. Liu Goat, who returned to the barracks, immediately asked Zhang Yun to gather all the people together, and all of them naturally included Lu Yong and those wounded soldiers who were recovering, "The news I just got that Jinan was lost, and Han Fuqu lost Jinan to the little devil without firing a shot, not only Jinan, but now I am afraid that half of Shandong has been occupied by the little devil's southward troops." ”

Liu Goat's words were like a sudden explosion of thunder, which shocked Lu Yong and the others, they just escaped from Nanjing and ran out, and within a few days of comfortable life, the Japanese soldiers occupied Shandong again, if they continue to go south, I am afraid that Anhui will not be able to keep it. "Is this news of yours reliable?" After a while, Lu Yong came back to his senses a little, and he didn't intend to believe this news like a thunderbolt from the blue until he was sure that the source was reliable.

"Absolutely reliable, this is a copy of the telegram of the Ministry of Military Affairs that Li Linge found from the provincial capital, the new 20th Division has received an order to go north to Xuzhou, and the Fifth Theater is afraid that it will mobilize troops to fight the little devils in Xuzhou." Only then did Liu Goat remember the few pieces of paper that Li Linge handed over to him, and took them out of his pocket in a panic and stuffed them to Lu Yong. "Li Linge said that the Ministry of Military Affairs would transfer another unit to Mengcheng, but he did not say the number and number of this force."

When Liu Goat and Lu Yong were talking, Tang Cheng was already squatting on the ground and drawing a rudimentary map with a bayonet, and with the memory left by fiddling with the globe since childhood, Tang Cheng used a bayonet to draw a rough map of Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu on the ground, and highlighted the locations of Nanjing, Mengcheng, Xuzhou and Jinan. "The Japanese army is going to attack up and down" Looking at the location of Xuzhou on the map, Tang Cheng's back was cold.
