Chapter 38: Yan Laoxi's vomiting blood
Upon hearing Li Yunlong's conditions, Chu Yunfei pointed at Li Yunlong angrily, his eyes turning red.
Li Yunlong didn't care, what he wanted was Chu Yunfei's scolding expression.
"Brother Yunfei, don't be angry!" Li Yunlong said with a smile: "In this way, if you think it is too much, then join us. I will be your deputy commander, and you will work hard with me in the future. No more food, no weapons.
If I give it back to you, I can also help you fight the Japanese, how nice!"
Chu Yunfei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Li Yunlong's words were too irritating.
After all, Chu Yunfei graduated from a regular military academy. You want me to be your deputy? Who do you look down on?
But he couldn't help but stare at him: "Brother Yunlong, I just said that you and I have different beliefs, so you don't have to waste your breath on this matter!"
Li Yunlong shrugged and said with a smile: "Then this matter will be easier to handle. You hurry up and collect the food, otherwise the price will rise. My brothers, like me, all suffered from hardship since childhood. We can't eat well.
I know you won’t be able to bear it if you don’t have enough clothes to wear and you have to fight the Japanese. It just so happens that you and Chief Yan can give us some relief by taking this opportunity. Isn’t it logical?”
Chu Yunfei's chest was about to explode with anger. He had never seen such a rogue person.
"Brother Yunlong, do you mean there is no discussion?" Chu Yunfei said.
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Discuss? Aren't we discussing? Brother Yunfei, you know that I accept death. If Sakata comes, I have to beat him. If Yamazaki comes and disobeys, I will beat him. Come on.
Well, as long as you give me food, I will definitely not beat you!"
Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed, he knew that Li Yunlong was threatening him.
Fang Ligong whispered in his ear: "Tuanzu, a good man won't suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. This is his territory, and this guy is unreasonable. Why don't we go back first!"
Chu Yunfei clenched his fists and glared at Li Yunlong angrily: "Okay, brother Yunlong, just wait. I'll go back and report to Commander Yan!"
After saying that, Chu Yunfei turned around and left without looking back!
Li Yunlong looked at Chu Yunfei who was walking away, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Yunfei, including today, you have to give me 25,000 kilograms of grain!"
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei almost fell off his horse, and secretly cursed Li Yunlong's shamelessness again.
That night, Chu Yunfei came to Luliang City to report today's situation to Yan Laoxi.
After hearing this, Yan Laoxi almost hit his chin on the ground: "This Li Yunlong is obviously a lion's mouth. He has twenty-five thousand kilograms of grain. Why doesn't he grab it?"
Chu Yunfei looked angry: "I didn't expect him to be so shameless despite my humble position. He is simply a bandit!"
Yan Laoxi slapped his hand on the table angrily: "It's contrary, it's contrary! Who is this Li Yunlong? Even the Eighth Route Army has to obey my command. How dare he buy the equipment of one of my regiments and one battalion?"
Also, you dare to blackmail me? He doesn't want his life!"
"Come here!" Yan Laoxi shouted: "Assemble the troops immediately and kill all the muddy legs of this Li Yunlong and his men!"
Chu Yunfei was shocked. He did hate Li Yunlong, but that was also his idea as a general of the Jinsui Army.
From the perspective of national justice and joint resistance to the war, Li Yunlong is indeed a rare general.
Chu Yunfei quickly stopped Yan Laoxi and said, "Sir Yan, please calm down. Although Li Yunlong is a gangster, he is from the Eighth Route Army after all."
"If we kill Li Yunlong in a big way, we will undoubtedly force the Eighth Route Army to turn against us!"
Yan Laoxi's face turned red with anger and he flicked his sleeves: "So what about the Eighth Route Army? You still have to listen to my command."
"He Li Yunlong dares to buy the equipment of our Jinsui Army today, and he dares to lead people to our Luliang City tomorrow. Keeping such a person will be a disaster, it is better to kill him as soon as possible!"
At this time, the chief of staff of the Jinsui Army hurriedly walked in: "What's going on? Why is Commander Yan so angry!"
Chu Yunfei sighed and told the whole story again.
The chief of staff widened his eyes and looked at Yan Laoxi with shock: "Sir Yan, this is indeed a bad thing, but Commander Chu is right, we can't fall out with the Eighth Route Army yet."
Yan Laoxi gasped angrily: "He, Li Yunlong, is riding on my head, but I still can't fall out? Is it their Eighth Route Army that has the final say in this World War II zone, or is it that I, the Jinsui Army, have the final say?"
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Of course you have the final say on this. You are the highest officer in our World War II zone. It is for this reason that we cannot touch Li Yunlong."
Yan Laoxi snorted coldly: "If it's true, stop talking. My ears are numb from hearing it."
"I will kill this Li Yunlong today no matter what!"
The chief of staff shook his head and explained: "If you want to kill Li Yunlong, it is easy, but we should consider what happens after killing Li Yunlong."
"As far as I know, the boss of the Eighth Route Army is very fond of this Li Yunlong. Once we raise troops to attack Li Yunlong, the Eighth Route Army will definitely send troops to reinforce him."
"The final result is that not only are we at odds with the Eighth Route Army, but we will both suffer losses."
"When the time comes, not only will the Japanese take advantage of the situation, but other troops will see our jokes, and even people across the country will scold us!"
Yan Laoxi was stunned. He was so angry that he didn't even think of this.
Yan Laoxi's face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of reluctance as he said: "Then what should we do now? This is equipment for a regiment and a battalion. Is it just given to Li Yunlong for nothing?"
The chief of staff thought for a moment and looked up at Chu Yunfei: "Don't he, Li Yunlong, want food? We will just give it to him!"
As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, Yan Laoxi's face turned dark.
"This is 25,000 kilograms of grain, which is not a small amount. How can you give it to Li Yunlong for nothing?"
The chief of staff sighed: "Li Yunlong has clearly asked for a price. If he doesn't plan to go to war, he can only do this."
"But we can give it to him in the name of the World War II zone and publish it in the newspaper at the same time. This can improve our prestige in the World War II zone."
The chief of staff said that this was the best way he could think of to stop the loss.
Yan Laoxi remained silent, and after a moment he said helplessly: "This is the only way, but I remember this matter."
"When the war ends that day, I will personally take off Li Yunlong's head and hang it on Luliang City to vent this bad breath!"
Chu Yunfei was silent, with various thoughts in his mind.
"Yunfei, take my written order and go to the granary to get 25,000 kilograms of grain, and send it to Li Yunlong's station early tomorrow morning to redeem the equipment of this battalion."
"Yes!" Chu Yunfei responded and left.
