Upon hearing the young man's last name, Xue Xiang guessed who it was and said with a smile, "Uncle Li asked you to come. Is Uncle Li in good health?"
The Uncle Li in Xue Xiang's mouth was none other than Li Tieshan, the veteran general who was sent down with Xue Anyuan at the cadre school in the suburbs of Beijing. When Xue Xiang sent food, cigarettes and alcohol to Xue Anyuan, he took care of those talkative birds.
Among the old comrades, Li Tieshan is the most talkative among them. Speaking of Li Tieshan, he and Xue Anyuan are old comrades in arms, and they were also originally from this Northeastern university.
He is a hero who emerged from the white mountains and black waters. In his early years, Li Tieshan, like most men in the mountains, grew a beard from grass, but he did not follow the Zhang family and his son, but joined our army long ago. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he fought in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to the Anti-Japanese University in Hongdu to study. After completing his studies, he was assigned to the 129th Division and became the main regiment commander.
It was also at that time that Li Tieshan met Xue Anyuan. At that time, under the care of the old commander, Xue Anyuan also became an independent regimental commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division. From then on, the two became a member of the same author system.
Serious old comrades. Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War broke out
, based on the 129th Division, the Central Plains Field Army was formed, and the two became the commanders of the main division at the same time. Throughout this period of passionate passion, these two people have been working together. You save my life, and I
Saving your life is a common occurrence, a true friendship forged in blood and fire.
Originally, in terms of age, Li Tieshan was much older than Xue An, but in terms of position, the two of them were always neck and neck. But who would have thought that after liberation, they would be ranked higher and lower. That was in the 1950s.
, when the Korean War broke out, Xue Anyuan originally had the opportunity to go to the front line, but at that time it happened
Xue Xiang's aunt was pregnant with his eldest brother Xue Dangkou, so Li Tieshan reported that Xue Anyuan's family had a pregnant wife, and he was worried that she would be distracted when he went to fight in the DPRK, so he took advantage and led the troops.
On the front line, Xue Anyuan was transferred to the newly established Nanjing Military Academy as a student.
At this point, when the title was conferred in 1955, Li Tieshan was unexpectedly ranked one level higher than Xue Anyuan and became a lieutenant general based on his military exploits in the court. Just because of this. When the two met, they did not quarrel. They quarreled. When they were finally decentralized,
, they returned to the same group again, but they smiled at each other and put away their grudges.
Therefore, after Xue Xiang was reborn, the first time he went to deliver something to Xue Anyuan, Xue Anyuan was playing chess with an old man. In the end, they had an argument over the ownership of the lieutenant general at that time. The old man was none other than
.It is this Li Tieshan.
While Xue Xiang was alone in Liaodong this time, some of his elders, such as Xue Anyuan and Xu Ziqian, An Zaihai gave many warnings. Of course, these warnings were not to teach Xue Laosan how to act as an official, but to ask him to meet the three of them on his behalf.
Everyone has their own past in Liaodong. And this visit obviously has another meaning, which is to help Mr. Xue find some big trees to shelter him from the wind and rain.
And this Li Tieshan was the first person Xue Anyuan told him to pay a visit to. Xue Xiangyuan also planned to take the time to visit after settling down in Xiaoshan County, but he didn't expect that he would come first.
But he said Xue Xiang called him "Uncle Li". Hearing this, Li Qi frowned, but he couldn't fault him. He could only ask Xue Xiang not to call him "nephew", but he couldn't let Xue Xiang care about his old man.
Call me "Grandpa"
As soon as he thought about this, Li Qi said angrily: "You are very strong. You have been tossing me all day long. How can you not be strong? Stop dragging your feet and get in the car. For more than half a month, you have asked me to stay here every day. Today, I can't stand it."
It’s a relief.”
Xue Xiang had already accepted Feng Jing's arrangement and had to go to the Huayuan District Committee to report to the Huayuan District Committee for dinner. However, Mr. Li invited him here. Due to emotions and reasons, he couldn't shirk it, so he had to turn around and ask Xiao Wang in a low voice if he could
Go down later, Xiao Wang said, "No, no, no."
He couldn't explain his opinion. Li Qi on the side looked upset and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, there's no need to make noise about such a trivial matter? The old man can't do anything with just one sentence."
What time is it? You’re not hungry, but I am.”
As soon as Xue Xiang heard that the old man was willing to take on the job, it was the best thing to do, so he invited Xiao Wang to go with him. Xiao Wang looked at the military card several times and didn't recognize the way out, but from Li Qi's tone, he knew it was a big-name yameni, and then
Seeing that his eyes were not kind and he was not willing to get involved, he asked Xue Xiang to leave and said that he would infiltrate with Minister Feng here.
Xue Xiang nodded and thanked him, then hugged the little guy and got into the car. As soon as he sat firmly, Li Qi's engine started to roar, and the car was going fast, which suited the young man's domineering temperament.
Li Tieshan's residence is not far from the Provincial Party Committee compound. It is an independent community with a sign bearing the name "Invalids" and guards stationed in front of the door. The community is shaded by green trees and grasses are in full bloom. The environment is fresh and pleasant, making it a good place for retirement.
But it is said that these elderly people all seem to have the same preference, especially small courtyards with fences. Li Tieshan's residence is a small independent courtyard with a large area. Inside, there are low fences, chicken coops, duck racks, and vegetable beds.
The nursery is even fully equipped. As soon as the car stopped at the door, the courtyard was filled with chickens and ducks, making it very lively.
Li Qi stopped the car and without saying hello, he got out of the car and walked towards the courtyard. As he walked, he shouted, "Grandpa, I have picked him up. Now I should be liberated. I need to have a good rest here."
A few days, these days have made me very tired."
As soon as Xue Xiang got out of the car with the little guy in his arms, he heard a rough and familiar laughter in the courtyard. He looked up and saw a tall, gray-haired old man, wearing an old military uniform, striding out of the main room. No.
Then who is Li Tieshan, whom I met many times in the cadre school?
Before Xue Xiang could say hello first, the old man spoke first: "Good boy, old Xue had a phone call with me half a month ago and said you might want to come down. I asked Li Qi to block people in the organization department every day for ten years.
The next day, we will block it now, you are such a big brat."
Xue Xiang took the little guy in his hand and hurried forward to greet him, "Uncle Li, how are you? You came in a hurry. My nephew has empty hands this time and lost his etiquette. No wonder."
Hearing Xue Xiang's words, Li Tieshan's smile suddenly condensed: "You are just a dog who can't spit out ivory. If you continue to talk to me, I will kick you out. Hey!" The old man was scolding fiercely. He saw the little boy beside Xue Xiang.
The guy screamed in shock, his old face thawed instantly, he bent down and picked up the little guy, "Haha, good girl, you come to see uncle too, take a good look at what delicious food uncle will make for you."
The guy and Xue Xiang visited Xue Anyuan many times. Later, during the Chinese New Year, when the cadre school opened, they went even more frequently. A bunch of old men were far away from their hometown and relatives, so after the innocent little guy went there, he was naturally very popular. This old man Li is
I like her the most. So, when I first saw the little person, I didn’t even hold Xue Xiang accountable for being speechless. I even forgot about Xue Laosan and went into the house with the little guy in my arms to present the treasure.
But it was said that when Xue Xiang arrived at the Li family compound, it was already eleven o'clock at noon. Li Tieshan ordered the chef to add more dishes and asked Li Qi to call. After a lot of trouble, lunch was not started until one and a half in the afternoon. At noon, people gathered around.
The table was so full that there was no room to sit down. Li Tieshan’s eldest son Li Wei, second son Li Chi, daughter
The son-in-law Jing Xiang has arrived. As for the female family members, according to Li Tieshan's Northeastern beard, they are not allowed to sit at the main table and are arranged to dine in the side room. Of course, the little ones are inside and outside, except for these three second generations of the Li family, and one
The boys who helped the third generation were all here. There were seven or eight boys, and they were crowded at the bottom.
Fortunately, the captain of the Li family's guard was able to arrange things in an orderly manner, so he didn't appear to be in a hurry. Speaking of the captain of the guard, I have to say a few words. When the title was conferred in 1955, the generals were graded, and their treatment was naturally determined. Marshal was the same.
Politburo member level. Generals are equivalent to deputy prime ministers. Generals and above are counted as party and state leaders. Generals enjoy the title of Secretary of the State Council.
Lieutenant generals enjoy ministerial treatment. Lieutenant generals and above are considered senior generals and can be equipped with guards, secretaries, chefs, orderlies, and personal doctors. Although these benefits were canceled during the catastrophe, after the catastrophe, there was an organizational conclusion
Yes, the treatment will naturally be restored. Therefore, Lieutenant General Li Tieshan, the fifth and fifth lieutenant general, will naturally have his own chief of bodyguards.
However, Xue Anyuan's previous title was one level lower and he only enjoyed ministerial medical care, but he did not receive such treatment. However, at present, Xue Anyuan is the commander of the military region. If we really talk about the rank, he is far higher than Li Tieshan today, and he deserves the same treatment.
Compared with Li Tieshan at this moment, it is definitely worse.
Okay, let’s stop here and let’s get back to the main story.
At lunch, even though we talked about wine, the old man knew that the four people in front of him still had business to do in the afternoon, so they just put their minds to it. The meal was over in an hour, and the three generations of boys and girls seemed to have completed their tasks.
They put down their bowls and chopsticks, came up to say hello symbolically to the Xue brothers and sisters, then said hello to Mr. Li who was sitting there enjoying tea, and then went out in a swarm. The formation was more like fleeing.
Mr. Li took a sip of tea, snorted coldly, and glanced at his second son and son-in-law who were sitting with him in the hall, "You don't have any education at all. If you embarrass me, if you dare to do this again next time, no one will be able to get into my house."
Gate." The old man has been a gangster since he was a child. He has been killing people and fighting all his life. As he gets older, his rude and savage temperament has not changed at all.
The old man was about to scold you again when he saw the little guy leaning on Xue Xiang's arms, holding Xiaobai, and he stopped swearing, "I was so confused just now, and I didn't give you a proper introduction. This is the nephew of your uncle Xue family."
, that is, your brothers, the three brothers are inseparable. When we meet again in the future, don’t fail to recognize each other, otherwise it will be a joke. "
Previously, Li Wei, Li Chi's brothers and his family, and Jing Xiang's family had really come together. There were more than a dozen men and women, big and small, but they didn't really introduce them much. Everyone only knew that this pair of brothers and sisters were the most important ones in their family.
guests, the old man summoned the whole family this time, obviously just to welcome the brother and sister, and the solemn meaning is self-evident.
"Which uncle from the Xue family, how old are you?" The person who spoke was Li Wei, the second son of the Li family. He is now a staff officer of a regiment in the Liaodong Military Region. Since he is not in the field army, he has always been disliked by the old man. This question was obviously directed at Xue.
Xiang Xiang went away, after all, he was in his forties, but he became a brother with a twenty-year-old man, so naturally he felt extremely unhappy.
What bothers Mr. Li the most is that these two boys actually sneaked into the local army behind his back, which he has always regarded as comparable to the puppet army before liberation. It is really an embarrassment to the famous old middle field Li Da Bangchui. Now
Seeing that he said something unpleasant again, the son was about to yell and curse, but the eldest son Li Wei on the other side spoke first.
Li Wei slapped his thigh and stood up: "Dad, could it be your old comrade-in-arms, Uncle Xue Anyuan, who made our army famous in the Battle of the South and is now the commander of the Lingnan Military Region?"
Li Wei did not join the army, but engaged in politics. At the age of forty-five, he had a well-established official career and was already the deputy director of the Liaodong Provincial Department of Finance. In this era of veteran cadres, he was already quite conspicuous. Li Wei did not
Like his younger brother, he is most interested in official career
Enthusiastic, when he thought about who the uncle of the Xue family was, he screamed and reported Xue Anyuan's most glorious resume. At this moment, Li Wei was indeed more happy than surprised. He didn't expect that the old man had such a relationship, and he really agreed.
As the old saying goes: Older ginger is still spicier.
Li Wei was so excited and emotional, but there was another reason for it. The Li family seemed to have a founding lieutenant general. He was extremely famous, but in fact he was strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and he was worried about lack of successors. After all, although Mr. Li enjoys high status,
Good treatment, yes
Whether in the political circles or in the military, their influence has been greatly reduced. In the political circles, it is okay, after all, the old man has not been involved in that bunch at all, but in the military, where the Li family lives and lives, the current situation is also in decline.
.
First, Mr. Li was not like Xue Anyuan who still controlled the field army when he was decentralized. Mr. Li did not control the actual troops in the General Staff at that time. As the saying goes, "If a general does not lead troops, no one will listen to his words." This is the truth.
Mr. Li is devolved
Before the liberation, the close hierarchical links were severed, and after liberation, no specific positions were arranged. He only had a vacant position as deputy director of the Liaodong Provincial People's Congress, which is even more incompatible with Xue Anyuan, who has the care of the old chief and the old A army below.
The head of the supporting veteran was comparable.
Between the two, Xue An made a brilliant appearance in the Southern Expedition, and now controls the Lingnan Military Region, the most powerful among all military regions. Anyone with a bright mind knows that Xue Anyuan's future will never stop at being the commander of a large military region, and then rising to the rank of commander of a large military region.
There is plenty of room for imagination.
Here, as Li Wei's eldest son, he naturally has to worry about the family's prosperity and future. At a time when everything is at a loss, Xue Xiang comes out with Xue Anyuan on his back. How can he not be overjoyed? This is a real hard relationship.
, if you don’t pull it, you are a complete fool!
Just as Li Wei finished speaking, Li Chi and Jing Xiang both looked shocked. Neither of them expected that such a relationship was hidden behind the old man's back. It's okay for Li Chi, after all, he is a member of the Li family, but Jing Xiang is different.
, he was originally a subordinate of Mr. Li, but in recent years, Mr. Jing’s momentum in the military has been increasing.
Yes, he has become the deputy commander of the field army. On the other hand, the Li family, except for the old man's prominent status as the founding lieutenant general, is almost empty inside. If it were not for the last remaining power of the Li family, as a Liaoyang man
Jing Xiang, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, had long been impatient and had been lying down to the Li family.
But at this moment, after hearing the background of the young man in front of him, and seeing the affection between the young man and his father-in-law, Jing Xiang sighed for no reason in his heart: After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! But in his heart, he said no.
Whether you are happy or unhappy, and whether you are unhappy or not
I can outshine the Li family, but I have to continue to be angry with the yellow-faced woman when I go home. At the same time, I am proud of the relationship with the Li family. Isn't it my relationship as a uncle? I am happy to have a branch of the relationship that connects the world.
.For a moment, I felt like my heart was in a mess.
Li Tieshan naturally saw the expressions of the two sons and one son-in-law. He knew in his heart what the three people were planning, and he was very unhappy at first. Although he knew his own family affairs well, and although he also wanted to create benefits for his children and grandchildren, he
Is it persistence?
His stubborn temper is hard to change, and he has never spoken up for his family. Now, looking at the faces of the three of them who were tightly bound by the bridle of fame, they felt depressed for no reason, and they said nothing.
, waved his hand and drove the three of them away.
After the three of them left, the old man asked Xue Xiang to talk about the family affairs again, and the emphatically asked question was of course Xue Anyuan's specific battle examples in the Battle of the Southern Expedition. At this time, it had been several months since the end of the main station of the Southern Expedition. Xue Anyuan's military exploits and results,
I have an in-depth understanding of nature, and now I am chatting with Li Tieshan, but he is talking about
Come, the detailed description made Old Li enjoy listening to it. Sometimes he praised Xue Anyuan for doing a good job, sometimes he criticized the formation of troops for flaws, and most of them assumed what would happen if he played on his own. While bragging, he also
No matter how I try, I can't hide the feeling of loneliness that the old man is feeling helpless and whining.
As he spoke, the topic gradually became cold. Xue Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Li Tieshan saw it and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can chat with me for a long time, it proves that you are serious. Don't worry, it won't be delayed."
You're the one who took office. I'll take over Feng Jing's side.
I have already said hello. Even though I, the deputy director of the National People's Congress, am the Bodhisattva they created in the temple, I still have a little bit of face. I have also heard about your boy's stay in Paoshantun. He is a kind man and knows the common people.
It's not easy, I know
What do the people think and want? If you go back to this time, I, a big old man, have nothing to give you. However, I think as long as you keep the people in your heart like you did in Paoshantun, you won't go anywhere. Don't worry about it.
My old man, please don't
I don’t have the ability, but I still have the strength to smash tables and chairs in front of Deng Yongjia’s gang. Okay, I won’t keep you anymore. Go ahead. My old man has a problem with taking a nap, so I won’t send you away. Remember
Just bring your good girl to see me from time to time."
After finishing, the old man stood up, touched the little guy's little head, and went back to his room. Not long after, the chief of the guard who was in charge of entertaining at noon came to see him off. Unexpectedly, the chief of the guard had just started the car and was not far away.
Someone honked the horn somewhere, and Xue Xiangxun looked out. The person who poked out of the cockpit was not Xiao Wang, the secretary of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but someone else.
Just as Xue Xiang was about to greet Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang over there drove the car and said, "Comrade Xue, get in the car. I'm here to pick you up, so I won't bother you."
Xue Xiang did his best, said hello to the guard captain who got on the car over there, thanked him, and got into Xiao Wang's car. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the car door, he saw Feng Jing sitting in the back seat with a smile, smiling at him

ps: The transition chapters are a bit boring and the climax reaches quickly. In addition, there are some gaps, which means that the outline of the fourth volume needs to be overturned. Anyway, I will make sure to update it continuously. I would like to apologize to everyone in advance.
