"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. Stop joking with us, Lao Li!"
Although Li Qiufan was joking just now, Li Yunlong also felt that he really had something to tell him, otherwise Li Qiufan wouldn't be so roundabout.
"Then let me tell you the truth. I want you, Lao Li, back. You will be mobilized with my column in two days."
Li Qiufan stopped beating around the bush and talked about the deal with the boss. Li Yunlong was stunned.
"Brother, would you like to exchange an army's weapons and equipment for our Lao Li?"
Hearing that Li Qiufan exchanged an army's equipment for himself, Li Yunlong was a little moved. He never thought that he was worth such a high price.
"Harm, don't take it too seriously. After all, they were all captured!"
Li Qiufan waved his hand towards Li Yunlong, and his words directly made Li Yunlong blush.
He was still quite moved at first, but was immediately woken up by a slap from Li Qiufan, and Li Yunlong immediately gave him a roll of the eyes.
"By the way, brother, where are we being transferred to? We, Lao Li, don't know where we are going yet!"
Li Yunlong suddenly remembered that he still didn't know his destination this time, and hurriedly asked Li Qiufan.
"Leave for the Northeast in two days!"
Li Qiufan blurted out, once again shocking Li Yunlong's jaw.
"Northeast? Traveling so far?"
Li Yunlong asked Li Qiufan in disbelief. He never expected to go to the Northeast.
"What? Lao Li, you don't want to go?"
Li Qiufan glanced at Li Yunlong, thinking that he didn't want to go because it was too far away.
"That's not true. I heard that guy Lao Ding has also gone to the Northeast. I just wanted to catch up with him!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand to express that he didn't mean that, and then mentioned Ding Wei.
"Ding Wei?"
Li Qiufan muttered something. If Li Yunlong hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that Ding Wei's troops had also been transferred to the Northeast.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Qiufan said goodbye to Li Yunlong and returned to his headquarters.
At this time, Zhao Gang was lying on the table like a puddle of mud in the headquarters. With such a weak look, Li Qiufan thought he had been poisoned.
"I said, Lao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qiufan stepped forward and looked at Zhao Gang, and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, but he looked a little weak.
"water…….."
Hearing Li Qiufan's voice, Zhao Gang slowly raised his head and said to Li Qiufan in a hoarse voice.
"What the hell, Lao Zhao, what did you do?"
Zhao Gang's voice startled Li Qiufan, as if a razor blade was stuck in his throat.
Zhao Gang was not in the mood to explain to Li Qiufan. He just stretched out his hand and pointed at the teapot on the table.
Seeing this, Li Qiufan understood a little. He quickly took the teapot and poured a bowl of water for Zhao Gang, then brought it to his mouth and helped him drink it.
"Ah~"
After drinking a large bowl of water, Zhao Gang suddenly let out a mouthful of moans, which made Li Qiufan feel a little disgusted.
"I said, Lao Zhao, what are you doing?"
Li Qiufan frowned and looked at Zhao Gang, wondering how the other party could do this.
"I'm not because of you!"
Zhao Gang, who had recovered slowly, glared at Li Qiufan and said to him angrily.
"What did I do? I just came back from headquarters!"
Li Qiufan was a little confused by this sudden blow, and didn't understand how it had anything to do with him.
"You are so stupid as to be the hands-off shopkeeper and leave everything to me, not because of you but because of who?"
When Zhao Gang saw that Li Qiufan refused to admit his fault, he immediately started arguing with him. Only then did Li Qiufan understand what was going on.
After Li Qiufan left, Zhao Gang continued to hold meetings for the prisoners to do ideological work, and his voice was almost smoking.
After all, it is impossible to bring out more than 60,000 prisoners to do work at once, they can only be brought out in batches.
After this operation, Zhao Gang was immediately exhausted, especially his throat, which felt like needles pricking him when he spoke.
"Old Zhao, thank you for your hard work!"
After understanding the whole story, Li Qiufan corrected his attitude and apologized to Zhao Gang. Seeing this scene, Zhao Gang said nothing more.
"Old Zhao, let me tell you good news to make you happy!"
Seeing that Zhao Gang was ignoring him, Li Qiufan pulled a stool and sat down, and then said to Zhao Gang with a smile.
"What's the news? Have you eaten bee poop?"
Although Zhao Gang stopped quarreling with him, he was still not angry.
"What are you talking about! I detained Lao Li!"
Li Qiufan didn't care and directly told him what happened to Li Yunlong.
"Which Lao Li? Li Yunlong?"
When he heard what Li Qiufan said, Zhao Gang thought he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked Li Qiufan to confirm.
"That's right, who else can there be, Mr. Li?"
Li Qiufan smiled and nodded. He was not surprised at all by Zhao Gang's reaction. After all, snatching troops from the hands of the old brigade commander was like snatching food from the jaws of a tiger. No one else would believe it.
"Good guy, aren't you afraid that your old leader will skin you?"
Sure enough, Zhao Gang's first reaction was not to ask him why he stayed, but because he was afraid that the old brigade commander would ask Li Qiufan to question him.
"Don't worry! I'm looking for the boss to be the middleman!"
"Besides, we will leave in two days. Maybe the old brigade commander will have forgotten about it by the time we meet again!"
Li Qiufan was not worried that the old brigade commander would settle the score with him. Not to mention that he had asked the boss to handle the matter, he didn't know when they would meet again.
"That's right, you don't have to worry about the high mountains and long roads!"
After hearing this, Zhao Gang nodded in agreement. After all, it was impossible for the old brigade commander to pursue the debt all the way to the northeast.
"Okay, let's discuss how to arrange Li Yunlong's division first. After all, we have to give him a title."
Afterwards, the two discussed Li Yunlong's troops and finally decided to change Li Yunlong's troops to the Fifth Division.
After all, the second division at the level had been called for so long and could not be replaced by others, so Li Yunlong's troops were directly postponed.
Two days passed quickly. During these two days, Zhao Gang almost collapsed. Fortunately, the result was satisfactory.
With Zhao Gang's efforts, each unit was able to replenish its troops. Li Qiufan also expanded the heavy artillery brigade. Today's heavy artillery brigade is already a division-level unit.
Coupled with the addition of Li Yunlong, the independent first column already has seven divisions, with a total strength of about 100,000, which is beyond the scope of the column.
After arranging for the remaining prisoners and the agreed upon weapons and equipment to be delivered to the headquarters, Li Qiufan set off with his troops.
On his way to the Northeast this time, Li Qiufan had to go to the arsenal to pick up the artillery shells promised to him by his boss, so Li Qiufan had to take a detour.
The entire column, numbering about 100,000 people, set off in a mighty manner. The end of the marching team could not be seen at a glance. Li Qiufan was filled with emotion when he saw this scene.
