Ye Qijie was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Do you know where the chief of staff is?"
"The chief of staff didn't say anything," the guard said, "I just saw him walking in a hurry."
"Send someone to look for him immediately." Fu Zuoyi said solemnly, "We must find him!"
"Did you hear that?" Ye Qijie immediately turned around and shouted at the guard, "Hurry up and send someone to find him. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find the chief of staff."
"Yes!" the guard adjutant agreed and left in disgrace.
Ye Qijie whispered to Fu Zuoyi again: "Chief Commander, do you want to call Wei Jingyun to be more vigilant?"
Although it is still unknown whether Xu Rui left Baichuan Fort? If he left Baichuan Fort, where did he go? But as the deputy commander of the 35th Army, Ye Qijie must consider the issue from the perspective of the 35th Army.
It must be assumed that if Xu Rui left Baichuan Fort in a hurry to rush to Guisui to join the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment, this would be very troublesome. This shows that Xu Rui really does not hesitate to break with the 35th Army, and even
Swordsmen facing each other.
In this case, Wei Jingyun's troops staying outside Guisui City will be in danger.
Therefore, Ye Qijie felt it was necessary to inform Wei Jingyun and ask him to be more vigilant.
Ye Qijie would not wishfully think that because Xu Rui had briefly served as the chief of staff of the 35th Army, he would be merciful to the troops of the 35th Army. You must know that when they were in the Dabie Mountains, Xu Rui took care of Wan Xiangyun's 32nd Army.
The army group really didn't blink an eye, and the man named Wan hasn't even turned over yet.
"No." Fu Zuoyi shook his head and said, "You can't act rashly."
Ye Qijie was simply worried about the safety of Wei Jingyun's troops, but Fu Zuoyi considered the problem more comprehensively.
If Xu Rui didn't mean to fall out, but they hurriedly sent a telegram to Wei Jingyun, and then Wei Jingyun's troops sent out a cordon to the Chahar Independent Regiment in Guisui City, it would be equivalent to sending a warning to the other party.
Declaring war is equivalent to the 35th Army taking the initiative to create friction.
If in the past, friction was friction, Fu Zuoyi might not be afraid of Xu Rui.
But now, Fu Zuoyi is really afraid of Xu Rui, because now, the strength of the 35th Army has really weakened to a very dangerous situation. Up to now, looking at the entire 35th Army, it is still capable of fighting.
Of the troops, there are less than nine battalions left, and they are scattered in Wuyuan, Baotou, Guisui and other places.
If they fall out with Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment at this time, Wei Jingyun's troops in Guisui will be unlucky. Then Baotou and Wuyuan's troops will also be threatened by Li Jingquan's troops in Hetao. The Communist Party has clear grievances.
He would never take the initiative to stir up trouble, but once he was provoked, he would be ruthless when fighting back.
People like Han Deqin, Zhu Huaibing and even Hu Zongnan have all suffered losses from the Communist Party.
Therefore, Fu Zuoyi must be cautious. The more times like this, the more calm he needs to be.
After thinking for a while, Fu Zuoyi continued: "Brother Xin, send more people and search separately. We must find brother Xu Rui no matter what. Even if he really left, we must find out where he went.
"
"It's better for me to handle this matter myself." After Ye Qijie said that, he turned around and left.
…
On the road from Baichuanbao to Guisui, Xu Rui and Digua were galloping.
At this time, it was only five minutes before Xu Rui and Fu Zuoyi had a dispute. In other words, after the dispute, Xu Rui immediately left Baichuan Fort with the sweet potatoes.
Digua Da Ma caught up with Xu Rui and asked, "Captain, do you really want to fall out with Fu Zuoyi?"
"Falling with Fu Zuoyi?" Xu Rui smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Digua curled his lips and said, "I've heard people say that you and Fu Zuoyi had a quarrel at the 35th Army Headquarters because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. Now you are rushing back to Sui, don't you want to fall out with Fu Zuoyi?"
"What's the matter of unequal sharing of spoils? Do you know how to speak human language?" Xu Rui laughed and scolded, "This is called dividing the spoils."
"Isn't this the same thing? We haven't reached an agreement anyway." Digua snorted, "But, Commander, have you really decided to fall out with Fu Zuoyi? I heard you say that this Fu Zuoyi
He is still a good man, not only resisting the Japanese, but also a decent person, unlike Wan Xiangyun, who is full of bad things."
"I didn't want to fall out." Xu Rui shook his head and said.
Xu Rui really never thought about falling out with Fu Zuoyi. In fact, it was impossible for him to fall out.
Because once they really fall out with Fu Zuoyi, the tasks assigned by Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu will immediately come to naught. Unless the Chahar Independent Regiment can kill all Fu Zuoyi’s 35th Army, a
If we don’t stay, and then occupy Suiyuan Province, we will never be able to establish a safe and reliable transportation line from the China-Mongolia border to the Hetao.
But could Xu Rui really drive out all the 35th Army and leave no one behind? Can he really occupy Suiyuan Province?
The answer is of course no. If Xu Rui really dares to do such a thing that makes his relatives hate and his enemies happy, not to mention that Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee will not agree, and the people of the whole country will never agree. Therefore, unless the 35th Army takes the initiative to provoke, otherwise
Xu Rui and the Chahar Independent Group will never and dare not fall out with Fu Zuoyi.
As for whether the 35th Army would initiate a provocation, Xu Rui believed that they would not dare.
Because the current situation of the 35th Army is very difficult in the short term, but in the long run, the situation is very good.
Why do you say this? Because the 35th Army is at its weakest right now, but in at most half a year, the 35th Army will regain its combat effectiveness and become stronger than before. Therefore, even if the 35th Army really wants
Creating friction will have to wait until half a year later, not now.
Therefore, Xu Rui was basically using his power to force Fu Zuoyi to give in.
Digua disagreed and said with a snort: "Since you have never thought of falling out with Fu Zuoyi, you shouldn't rush to Guisui in a hurry. If you rush back now and walk in such a hurry without saying hello, Fu Zuoyi will
What do you think? Does he think you are eager to return to Sui to make deployments and eat up the Sui army under Wei Jingyun in Guisui?"
"Boy, you can do it. Can you still use your brain?" Xu Rui praised, "Not bad, really good."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "However, this time I really let you say it. The reason why I left in such a hurry and didn't even say hello was to create such an illusion for Fu Zuoyi and the others.
, thinking that I am in a hurry to return to Sui to make deployments and prepare to eat Wei Jingyun's troops."
Di Gua said angrily: "Isn't this just a fall out?"
"I stopped saying it just now. It was an illusion." Xu Rui said, "I just wanted to give Fu Zuoyi such an illusion. I didn't really want to fall out with him. As for why I wanted to give Fu Zuoyi such an illusion,
This is actually just a negotiation technique, the purpose is just to force Fu Zuoyi to make concessions."
Digua said: "Aren't you afraid that Fu Zuoyi will take it seriously?"
"It's only right to believe it." Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Only if he believes it, will he give in. If he doesn't believe it at all, then how can I create the illusion of a bird?"
Digua said: "Are you so sure that he will give in?"
"It's very simple." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Because now is the most difficult time for the 35th Army. First of all, its strength has been greatly damaged. The 50,000-strong army before the war lost more than 20,000 people, and another seven or eight thousand were killed.
People were seriously injured and were lying in the hospital unable to move, and more than 10,000 people were slightly injured and basically lost their combat effectiveness."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "The current Thirty-Fifth Army only has 5,000 people left after full battle, and military supplies are extremely scarce. The previous Battle of Wuyuan has caused Fu Zuoyi to consume all his family assets.
So, I predict that he will give in, because he has no capital to fight with me now."
Digua added: "But as a result, the relationship between the two families has also become tense."
After a pause, Digua continued: "As in the previous cooperation, isn't it good that the two families are in harmony? After all, the little devil is the common enemy of our two families, right? And compared with the little devil, whether it is Fu Zuoyi
Both the 35th Army and our Chahar Independent Regiment are at an absolute disadvantage, so cooperation is even more needed at this time."
"Good boy, you are really out of breath when I say you are fat?" Xu Rui scolded with a smile, "Are you really treating yourself as a political commissar?"
Shaking his head, Xu Rui continued: "However, you are still young. Do you really think that Fu Zuoyi is a good man and a believer? Do you really think that we are happy to cooperate with the 35th Army in the future?"
If you really think so, hehe, then you are totally wrong."
Di Gua was confused: "Captain, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Rui said: "Diya, let me tell you something. Before our Chahar Independent Regiment, Commander Li had actually cooperated with Fu Zuoyi for a long time, and also sent a large number of political cadres to the 35th Army. However,
When we came to Baichuan Fort this time, did we see any of our comrades? No, not one, right?"
"Is this happening?" Digua said in surprise, "Why didn't I know?"
"Of course you don't know." Xu Rui said, "Because before we came, the hundreds of political cadres sent by Commander Li to the 35th Army had been driven back to Yan'an by Fu Zuoyi, so I said, this Fu Zuoyi is not
He is a good man and a devoted man, although he seems to be very close to me now, but once there is a conflict between the interests of both parties, it will only take a minute to fall out, and he and we are in a relationship of mutual use. "
Digua said: "In that case, this Fu Zuoyi is not a good guy either."
"It depends on who you compare with." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Compared with rubbish like Wan Xiangyun, Fu Zuoyi is already a rare man. At least he has a bottom line and won't do evil things behind his back, unlike Wan Xiangyun.
That piece of trash did some sneaky and bottomless things, but it just didn't work out."
