Lin Jianyue led Xu Shuzheng and other officials into the hospital, went directly to the third floor, pointed to the end of the east corridor and said, "Chief of Staff, Commander Qu lives in the ward facing the sun at the end."
Xu Shuzheng went upstairs and was out of breath. He frowned and said, "Why did you choose a place so far away? I think the housing prices on the second floor are pretty good."
Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "It's like this. When I came here, the rooms on all floors of the hospital were basically full of wounded soldiers. Although Commander-in-Chief Qu was a commander, he couldn't bear to chase away the wounded brothers. It happened that the wounded soldiers in this ward on the third floor
The soldier is about to be discharged from the hospital, so he moved in for some peace and quiet."
Xu Shuzheng nodded and said to the officials on his left and right: "Commander Qu is upright and upright, and he loves his soldiers as much as his sons, which is admirable."
The officials and subordinates all echoed in unison.
Lin Jianyue sneered in his heart and made a request: "Chief of Staff, please."
Along the way, Xu Shuzheng glanced left and right at the wounded soldiers in the wards along the corridor. He saw that the wards were crowded with wounded soldiers, and there were moans of pain everywhere, which made him feel very heavy. He said to the adjutant beside him: "I'll go there later.
Prepare some nutritional supplements, I'm here just in time to visit the wounded soldiers."
The adjutant nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out.
"Chief of Staff, here we are." Lin Jianyue said.
Xu Shuzheng looked in through the glass window of the ward and saw that the ward was very small, just big enough for a bed. Qu Tongfeng was lying quietly on the bed, seemingly asleep, with several adjutants around him.
When the attendant saw this, he said to the officials on the left and right: "There can't be too many people inside. It's fine if I just go in. You can wait outside."
After entering the ward, Lin Jianyue rushed to the hospital bed, leaned down and said in Qu Tongfeng's ear: "Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff Xu is here to see you."
Qu Tongfeng slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Shuzheng beside him. His chapped lips moved: "Zheng Zheng, you came to see me."
"Brother Weiqing, you have worked hard, how do you feel?" Xu Shuzheng held his hand.
"I'm fine, I can continue to lead the troops in the war." Qu Tongfeng glanced at Lin Jianyue first, and saw Lin Jianyue's eyes staring at him, full of warning.
"The war is not urgent. You need to take good care of yourself first. When Zhi Lao learned that you were injured, he was very worried. He asked me to come see you and told you not to hold on. The medical conditions on the front line are poor. You can go back to Beijing for treatment.
." Xu Shuzheng patted Qu Tongfeng's arm and said.
Qu Tongfeng was very moved and couldn't help but said: "Brother Zheng, the defeated general deserves no care from Mr. Zhi."
Xu Shuzheng said with relief: "You are not to blame for what happened on the front line. It was Duan Zhigui who was incompetent and betrayed Mr. Zhi's trust. Mr. Zhi meant that I should temporarily take over the command of the West Route Army. When the war situation improves, I will still go back to the East Route.
Yes, I will leave the West Road to your command. You should calm down and recuperate now, and don’t worry about other things."
When Qu Tongfeng heard this, he felt even more guilty. He shed a few tears and beat his chest: "I'm sorry for Mr. Zhi."
Xu Shuzheng was startled and said: "Brother Weiqing, what are you doing?"
"Commander, don't lose your composure." Lin Jianyue coughed lightly and stared at Qu Tongfeng sharply.
There was a trace of struggle in Qu Tongfeng's eyes, he was silent for a while, and said: "Brother Zheng Zheng, come here, I have something to say to you."
Lin Jianyue's expression changed and he glared at Qu Tongfeng fiercely.
Xu Shuzheng was as attentive as a hair, and noticed that something was wrong with Qu Tongfeng's expression. He frequently looked at Lin Jianyue on the side, as if to remind himself of something. He turned his head abruptly, and happened to see Lin Jianyue looking at Qu Tong fiercely.
Feng couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. Although Lin Jianyue immediately averted his eyes and put on a smiling look, he intuitively felt something unusual.
Xu Shuzheng became alert in his heart, but he continued to wear a natural smile on his face and said to Lin Jianyue: "Commander Lin, I think Mr. Qu is not in good spirits, so we should come see him at another time."
Before he finished speaking, he pulled away and was about to leave. As soon as he turned around, he heard someone behind him laughing: "Chief of Staff Xu, please stay!"
Xu Shuzheng turned around suddenly, only to see that the person speaking was an adjutant, looking at him with a strange smile.
"Chief of Staff Xu, don't leave in a hurry. You haven't listened to Commander Qu yet." Han Baihang said with a smile.
Xu Shuzheng raised his eyebrows and stared at Han Baihang sharply: "Who are you?"
Han Baihang smiled and said: "Of course he is the adjutant of Commander-in-Chief Qu."
"Fart." Xu Shuzheng's expression changed, and he reached out to take out his gun.
"Don't move!" Lin Jianyue moved faster, put a Browning on Xu Shuzheng's head, and said coldly: "Tell your guards to put down their guns."
"Don't get hurt again!" Qu Tongfeng struggled to sit up from the hospital bed and shouted to Lin Jianyue.
Lin Jianyue didn't even look back and said, "As long as he is obedient, there will definitely be a hair on his face."
The two guards who followed Xu Shuzheng in also reacted very quickly. They roared and pointed their guns at Lin Jianyue and Han Baihang respectively. Following their actions, the other three adjutants in the ward suddenly tore off their military uniforms, revealing the explosives wrapped inside.
And the fuse is in your hands.
Xu Shuzheng looked at Lin Jianyue with burning eyes and said sternly: "Lin Jianyue, do you want to rebel?"
Lin Jianyue smiled contemptuously: "Chief of Staff Xu, you are wrong. I am not going to rebel, but I have already rebelled. I am no longer the brigade commander of the First Division, but the deputy commander of the Third Division's advancing enemy detachment, specifically for
Came to capture you."
"Wishful thinking!" Xu Shuzheng glanced at the adjutant wrapped in explosives from the corner of his eyes, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
The officers outside the ward also noticed the strange changes in the ward. Everyone was stunned for a second, and immediately someone took out a gun and rushed towards the ward. But before they could rush in, they heard the banging of the ward doors everywhere.
, a group of wounded soldiers armed with machine guns, bayonets, and grenades rushed out and surrounded them.
The officers and subordinates were stunned by this scene. The guns they carried were all small-caliber pistols. They could not compare with the machine guns in the hands of the wounded soldiers around them. They were at a disadvantage in terms of firepower. As long as they exchanged fire, they would be surrounded.
The officers and assistants in the corridor had no room to dodge and had no choice but to die. For a moment, everyone was in a stalemate. No one fired, but the guns were pointed at each other and their fingers were tightly pressed on the triggers.
"Chief of Staff Xu, the explosives strapped to my three brothers are high explosives. Once they explode, they will turn into powder within a few dozen meters. I advise you to put down your guns. Even if it is not for you, it should be for you outside."
Let those officers think about it." Han Baihang ignored Xu Shuzheng's muzzle and walked forward slowly until his forehead touched the muzzle of the gun. He stretched out his two fingers to move the muzzle of the gun to one side. He smiled slightly and said: "Chief of Staff Xu, nice to meet you.
It is the Third Division that is advancing to search for the enemy, Commander Han Baihang." He believed that a smart man like Xu Shuzheng would recognize the situation and give in, instead of acting like a reckless man who would fight to the death at all costs.
Sure enough, Xu Shuzheng's gun was pushed aside without any resistance, and he unloaded the gun. Xu Shuzheng had the ambition to rule the country and bring peace to the world. With Zhuge Liang and Zeng Guofan as his teachers, he naturally did not want to be broken. He forced himself to calm down and swept away the gun.
He glanced at Han Baihang and sneered: "I've never heard of them. I only know about Cao Kun and Wu Peifu."
Han Baihang laughed: "Chief of Staff Xu, you are a big shot, I am a nobody, I have never heard of me being normal, but after today, I'm afraid you won't be able to forget my name."
Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be too happy too early. The defenders in the city will react soon and you won't be able to escape."
"Why should we escape? Your Chief of Staff, Xu Da, is in my hands, and everyone else has to be careful."
Han Baihang was confident and raised his chin to Lin Jianyue: "Unload their guns."
Lin Jianyue went up and removed the guns of Qu Tongfeng's two guards and tied them up with ropes. After the situation in the ward was under control, Han Baihang said to Xu Shuzheng: "Chief of Staff Xu, please give the order and let the people outside
Put down the gun, I don't want to go on a killing spree." The gun in his hand was pressed against Xu Shuzheng's waist, and the other hand grabbed his shoulder.
Xu Shuzheng's face lost all color. No matter how resourceful he was, he could only sit back and wait for death in this situation. He could ignore the life and death of people outside, but at this time, the situation forced him to listen to Han Baihang's words.
