After such an episode, Liu Shun and his wife never mentioned forcing them to get married again.
Liu Lang, who was full of guilt for his parents, also fulfilled his duty as a son. He stayed at home with Ji Yanxue and stayed with his parents for several days.
Accompanied by his son and future daughter-in-law, the sadness on the faces of Liu Shun and his wife gradually dissipated, replaced by the joy of family reunion.
However, Liu Lang, who is now considered to be in an important position, cannot leave his job for too long after all. Such peaceful days only lasted a week when a team from Chengdu came to the door.
Looking at the Liu Xiang warrant that the major opposite took out, Liu Lang could only sigh with relief. He originally wanted to go home to visit relatives to avoid Liu Xiang, but this time he responded to some "bandit suppression" military meeting held by the bald man.
Unexpectedly, they all hid back home, but Liu Xiang finally couldn't help but sent someone to find him.
In fact, since Liu Lang returned from overseas, he had already received several hints from Liu Xiang, hoping that his independent regiment would send troops to assist in "suppressing bandits", but Liu Lang kept silent about them.
Since his rebirth, Liu Lang has not been too involved in the development of the Red Army except quietly providing some necessary supplies. In addition to not wanting to change the historical process of the Red Army, Liu Lang also knows that China is in the midst of war.
Just like the nation, the Red Army also needs to experience successes and failures. Only those experiences that allow them to constantly correct themselves can allow them to be reborn and truly become the force that leads China.
Since Liu Xiang defeated Liu Wenhui and ascended to the throne of the first person in Sichuan Province, he actually did not dare to disobey an order as he imagined, and he was walking on thin ice. After all, Sichuan was only unified on the surface, but in fact it was extremely complex with many factions.
, such as Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Li Jiayu, Tian Songyao, etc., are all people with military power. Naturally, he hopes to gain more support from the government, especially when the bald boss still has some ambivalence towards him.
If you want to gain support, you have to show your support. Instead of dealing with the bald man's plan to "suppress bandits" in the past, you have to offer your fullest support.
Of course Liu Lang knew that this was the nature of the old warlords. They didn't care what political party you belonged to or what your thoughts were. They always considered their own interests. If those legs were thick enough, then embrace them. In their hearts, family interests were the most important thing.
Above the country.
Of course, this is also what reality has made them like this. China, which has been in civil strife for a long time, has taught them this. I am afraid that they will only attack the outside world unanimously when foreign enemies invade. In fact, at the beginning of the all-out war, these warlords
The combat effectiveness that broke out should not be underestimated. Whether it was the future Battle of Taierzhuang or the defense battles of Hengyang, Changsha, and Guilin, whether it was the Sichuan Army, the Northwest Army, the Hunan Army, or the Gui Army, they all showed the bloody spirit of Chinese men.
It has been more than half a year since Liu Lang left Sichuan last year, and Liu Xiang actively responded to the bald man's call to launch a massive attack on the Red Army's Fourth Front Army located in Sichuan.
Liu Lang had already read the Sichuan war report when he returned to China. In mid-May, Liu Xiang held the so-called third "bandit suppression" meeting in Chengdu, instructing the warlords to recommend Liu Congyun as the chairman of the Sichuan "bandit suppression" front military committee and stationed there.
Nanchong commanded all armies.
On June 12, Liu Congyun, the "Chairman of the Front Military Commission" of the Sichuan "Bandit Suppression Army", arrived in Shunqing from Chengdu to take office. On the 22nd, Liu Congyun began to order a general offensive and began the fourth phase of "suppression." On July 11, Liu Congyun went down again.
The general attack order was to attack Lianghekou in the first route, Seoul in the second and third routes across the river, Zhuyuguan in the fourth route, and Wanyuan in the fifth and sixth routes.
If Liu Lang remembers correctly, this attack still achieved nothing. In the past time and space, Xu Shuai's troops of the future Republic, which was short of weapons and ammunition, were able to resolve these crises, let alone Liu Lang sent them in the name of the Huashang Group.
A large number of machine guns and ammunition are here.
Now, Liu Xiang knew that he was still at home on vacation, so he sent someone to find him. Naturally, he could no longer bear the war on the front line and needed him to lead an independent regiment.
After thinking about it, Liu Lang knew that escaping was not an issue. Sooner or later, he would have to confront Liu Xiang about his views on the "suppression of bandits". But Liu Lang also knew that after this incident, he and Liu Xiang's honeymoon period would be ruined.
It had to end first. But even if he knew, Liu Lang had to do it.
Liu Lang finally said goodbye to his reluctant parents and followed the security platoon sent by Liu Xiang to Chengdu. Ji Yanxue stayed at home with Liu Lang's parents for a few days, waiting for the independent regiment to send a security platoon to pick her up.
It was already dinner time when we arrived at Liu Xiang's provincial chairman's residence in Chengdu, and Liu Xiang was the only one waiting for Liu Lang.
The uncle and nephew had a simple meal at the round dining table, sitting opposite each other with the fragrant tea brought by the servant.
No one spoke first. After a full quarter of an hour, Liu Xiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you tell me why you don't want to suppress the bandits from the front? Do you know that no matter whether you win or not, as long as you send troops, you
The promotion order to major general will be sent to Sichuan by the Ministry of Military Affairs?"
"Chairman Liu, what you said is biased. When did I say that I was unwilling to send troops?" Liu Lang also raised his eyebrows.
"Haha, when did you and my uncle and nephew start to be so vain? I, Liu Xiang, am not blind. Whether it was before today or today, your avoidance has clearly expressed your meaning. Now you just need to
Tell me why you don't want to?" Liu Xiang smiled coldly, with a hint of anger on his face, and stared at Liu Lang.
"If you insist on knowing the reason, well, I can only tell you that I, Liu Lang, and the independent regiment will always point their guns at foreign enemies. As for your kind of war in which Chinese people kill Chinese people, I can't do it.
"Liu Lang looked at Liu Xiang with clear eyes and indifferently. He didn't seem to be intimidated at all by the prestige of the number one man in Sichuan. On the contrary, the sarcasm curling up at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.
"Arrogant, they are bandits, we are the army, and it is natural for the army to suppress bandits." Liu Xiang was furious, slammed the table and shouted. Seeing that Liu Lang was still looking at him without fear, his tone softened after all, "
Wanderer, don’t be confused. If the Military and Political Department knows that you sympathize with the Red Bandits, let alone the independent regiment, not even I, Liu Xiang, can protect you. The 19th Route Army has learned from the past!"
"Uncle, since you still call me a prodigal, then I won't talk about those vain things. You mobilized Sichuan's elite army to besiege the so-called "bandits" for half a year but still failed to complete the task.
Is it because the enemy is too powerful? No, not really. Although the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan Army are very backward, they are much stronger than them. Is it true that the Sichuan Army is not good? No, it is not. In addition to these, soldiers, "the right time, the right place and the right people"
"It seems that the Sichuan army has taken full advantage, but you have also seen the results of the past six months. Not only did they win more and lose more, they even became stronger the more they fought. What does that mean? I believe I don't need to give you more details.
Obviously, on this point, my uncle has seen further than you." Liu Lang said very directly.
It was so direct that Liu Xiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He pointed at Liu Lang and wanted to curse.
"Uncle, don't be angry. This is just a private discussion between you and my uncle and nephew. Why don't we make a bet? If your Sixth Route Army can see a glimmer of possibility of victory next month, I will accompany you to win over Nanjing's Yile.
What do you think of sending a regiment of Japanese-style equipment as an apology for irritating my uncle today?" Liu Lang saw that Liu Xiang's face was purple with anger, and he didn't push forward.
This great Sichuan warlord had a chronic disease, and he was especially wary of being quick to anger. Liu Lang didn't want to make him angry now. After all, he raised his arms three years later and all 100,000 Sichuan army men left Sichuan. After his death, he left a legacy
The words he wrote in his will: "The war will continue until the end, that is, the enemy troops will not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan army will never return home!" It became the spiritual pillar of the 600,000 Sichuan troops who came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan.
As a warlord, he stands on top of ordinary people's heads, but as a Chinese, he stands on Chinese soil.
"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, I won't force anyone to do anything. If my two hundred thousand Sichuan troops can't win over a bunch of farmers, it will be a joke. I will make this bet with you. If you lose after one month, it will be a disaster.
You must obey my military orders, otherwise the military orders will be ruthless." Liu Xiang's anger subsided slightly and he replied with narrowed eyes.
"A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with." Liu Lang felt a little relieved.
This is a little better than the worst-case scenario he imagined before coming here. At least they haven't completely broken up with each other yet. There is still room for improvement in the relationship between the two after one month.
Because Liu Lang is sure to win.
For the war situation in one month, who would know better than the little butterfly that traveled through time and space?
There is no record of the secret meeting between Liu Lang and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew. It seems that Liu Lang just stopped by to visit the provincial chairman's uncle after his family leave. The two just had a simple meal together, and Liu Lang took his leave.
No one knew that the two men almost fell out over the expedition. Neither Liu Xiang nor Liu Lang ever mentioned this matter. Even when Liu Xiang later died in Hankou, he never mentioned it half a word.
What Liu Lang was worried about did not happen after all. Perhaps it was because he made a bet that seemed to be a big loser. Or perhaps, it was because his words of exaggeration about his interests moved Liu Xiang. Or, in the end, it was
Maybe it’s because he won!
In fact, even Liu Lang himself never knew what Liu Xiang was thinking.
Because, since then, Liu Xiang has never mentioned asking Liu Lang to send troops.
