"Oh, okay then."
Li Xiping, who was directly interrupted by Li Qiufan, sighed, and then honestly stopped talking.
"Each unit will set off immediately as soon as the brother units taking over the defense arrive. Now go back and prepare!"
After the action was arranged, Li Qiufan gave everyone an eviction order.
Now they just have to wait for the defensive troops to arrive, and they will set off for Yan'an to prepare to go south.
One day later, the leading troops responsible for taking over the defense arrived here. After the handover, Li Qiufan gave the order to set off.
Four columns, together with the heavy artillery division and the security brigade, nearly 150,000 people marched towards Yan'an in a mighty manner. The scene was not too shocking.
After nearly a day's journey, the troops finally arrived in Yan'an.
What Li Qiufan didn't expect was that the boss actually came out to greet them in person.
"Boss, why are you still out!"
Seeing the boss's figure, Li Qiufan immediately went up to meet him. When he got to the boss's side, he hurriedly said to him.
"Let me come out to see your troops and see what this 150,000-strong army looks like!"
The boss pointed at the long marching team and said to Li Qiufan, then nodded with satisfaction.
"You guys did a good job! These are all good soldiers!"
The boss has seen countless people, and he has led countless soldiers and generals. He can tell at a glance whether a unit has combat effectiveness.
Li Qiufan's corps, from the soldiers to the commanders and fighters at all levels, were all in high spirits.
Everyone was in high spirits, creating a strong aura for the entire army.
"Boss, you have given me a reward!"
Hearing the boss praising his soldiers, Li Qiufan scratched his head shyly and said.
"I'm not praising you. Why are you so embarrassed?"
Seeing Li Qiufan's appearance, the boss's good mood disappeared instantly. After slandering him, he turned and walked towards the headquarters.
"When you praise my soldiers, you are also praising me, huh!"
Li Qiufan didn't care about the boss's words. He muttered something softly and followed him.
After arriving at the headquarters, I saw several combat staff members inside conducting military discussions, and Wang Huzi had also arrived, observing and giving opinions.
"Boss, are you back? Brother, are you here too?"
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Wang Huzi hurriedly looked up and saw that the boss and Li Qiufan were coming and immediately said hello.
"Brother, you are back so soon!"
Hearing Wang Huzi greet him, Li Qiufan hurriedly responded.
"Since when have you two become so familiar? It's like brother!"
Hearing the names of Li Qiufan and Li Qiufan, the boss glanced at them and said.
"Boss, I have to find fault with what you said. You can't restrict us from making friends!"
When Li Qiufan heard the boss's words, he immediately responded in a carefree manner, which shocked Wang Huzi.
"Brother, please stop saying a few words, otherwise you will be scolded soon!"
As soon as Li Qiufan finished speaking, Wang Huzi hurriedly came to his side, pulled Li Qiufan's clothes and whispered to him.
"He doesn't need you to remind him. This brat has a donkey's temper. He's the only one who dares to mess with me!"
Li Qiufan also wanted to ask Wang Huzi what was going on, but unexpectedly the boss heard what he just said and pointed at Li Qiufan and said.
"Boss, this is a bit of a personal attack. How can you hurt me like this!"
When the boss said that he was a donkey, Li Qiufan was not happy to get married. Wang Huzi gave him a thumbs up after what he said.
The boss has always been very serious, so when facing the boss, the fierce generals under his command, although not trembling with fear, have very correct attitudes.
Among them was Li Qiufan, an outlier who often joked and messed with the boss. This shocked Wang Huzi, who saw this scene for the first time.
"You kid, you're using me to hurt you? You've already done enough damage yourself!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was still unconvinced, the boss showed no mercy at all and immediately snarled him again.
"Wang Beard, don't think this kid is a good person. Do you know what his nickname is?"
After quarreling with Li Qiufan, the boss turned to look at Wang Huzi and said.
"My brother also has a nickname? What is his name?"
Wang Huzi became curious after hearing the boss's words. He had never heard of Li Qiufan's nickname.
Li Qiufan was also a little puzzled. He couldn't remember when he had a nickname.
"When this kid used to fight Japanese invaders, he was called the Living King of Hell!"
Seeing both of them looking at him curiously, the boss smiled and said to them.
"Living King of Hell?"
After hearing what the boss said, Wang Huzi repeated it and then looked at Li Qiufan.
Li Qiufan suddenly realized at this moment that it turned out to be the nickname Living King of Hell. He would have forgotten it if the boss hadn't mentioned it.
"Brother, do you still have such a violent nickname? It seems that I really underestimate you!"
Wang Huzi nodded towards Li Qiufan and said, this nickname does not describe appearance like them, this kind of nickname is based on the performance.
"This kid never gave me a prisoner when he fought against the Japanese. When he saw the Japanese, he just said, "Kill him!"
The boss explained the origin of this nickname to Wang Huzi from the side, but these words shocked Li Qiufan.
"Boss, how did you know? Who snitched on me?"
Li Qiufan immediately asked the boss, wanting to know how the boss heard about it.
"You don't care how I know this, do I need to explain it to you? Let's go and play!"
Unexpectedly, the boss didn't explain at all, and even angrily attacked Li Qiufan.
"What are you doing, boss? Why are you so angry with me?"
Li Qiufan, who was criticized again, suddenly felt aggrieved and didn't understand why the boss also criticized him.
"I get angry when I talk about this! You said you kept those Japanese prisoners back, how much weapons, equipment and supplies can I exchange from the old man!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was wronged, the boss immediately told him the reason, but he didn't expect that it was because he didn't give the prisoner to exchange for his things.
"You can kill me and you won't understand your hatred, but you still want to keep them alive? I can't do that!"
After listening to the boss's explanation, Li Qiufan suddenly realized, but he still did not regret his decision, and if he could do it over again, he would still order the massacre without hesitation.
After listening to the boss's story about Li Qiufan's past, Wang Huzi finally understood the man in front of him.
In the past, they had only heard about Li Qiufan and rarely met him in person. At most, they would go to the headquarters for a meeting and then part ways in a hurry.
Until his previous contact with Li Qiufan, Wang Huzi still felt that he looked younger and lacked some killing spirit.
But after learning about it, I realized how bloody things Li Qiufan had done, and how he got the title of Living King of Hell.
