As the saying goes, one thing brings another down. Even though Li Yunlong was fearless, there was someone he was afraid of, and that was the person who just came in before him.
Of course, Li Yunlong's fear was out of respect for this person.
The person coming was Li Yunlong’s immediate superior, the Brigadier.
Li Yunlong likes to show off his seniority and always says, "As you were when I was the regiment commander, so are you." However, the brigade commander was a general and one of the famous Huangpu Three Heroes. When Li Yunlong first joined the army, he was already a division commander. , but now that the troops have been reorganized, he has been changed to brigade commander, but the number of troops under his command has already exceeded the size of an army.
The brigade commander is not only senior, but also a famous general in our army. He is witty, brave, personable, and has extremely high emotional intelligence. He is deeply loved by the officers and soldiers, and he is also protective of others. Li Yunlong made many mistakes, but it was the brigade commander who saved him.
When Li Yunlong saw the brigade commander, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Brigadier commander, why are you here in person?"
The brigade commander said angrily: "Li Yunlong, what's the matter? Do you still want me to send eight sedans to carry you?"
Li Yunlong said: "Brigadier, why? I won the battle and you dismissed me. You have to be reasonable, right?"
Li Yunlong didn't really feel aggrieved. He deliberately acted like this so that he could bargain with the brigade commander.
The brigade commander was so familiar with Li Yunlong that he knew exactly what he was doing as soon as he raised his butt. He glared and said, "Li Yunlong, stop pretending to me. You are still justified in disobeying orders on the battlefield. So be it, if you really don't want to If you go to the Independent Regiment, you might as well stay here and become the factory director."
Li Yunlong quickly said with a smile: "Brigadier, I brought the New Regiment out alone. I have feelings for the brothers, so let me go back to the New Regiment."
The brigade commander said: "If you continue to be nagging, you won't even be able to be the director of this quilt factory. I'd better let you feed my horses. If you dare to disobey me, I'm not even qualified to let you feed my horses." .”
Li Yunlong was a smart man, but he was just pretending. He really didn't dare to argue with the brigade commander anymore. He hurriedly said: "Brigadier Commander, it's okay for me to be the leader of the Independent Regiment, but I have a condition. Don’t send a political commissar. I can do this alone as the regiment leader and political commissar.”
The brigade commander said angrily: "You kid, don't even think about it. If the regiment commander and the political commissar let you do it alone, if you don't want to change the world, I have to send you a political commissar and put a tight spell on your kid."
Li Yunlong actually knew that his request was excessive. What he really wanted was not this. His purpose was to raise the price so that he could bargain. He said: "I can handle Zhang Dabiao, the new regiment and battalion commander, you have to give him to me."
The brigade commander was so angry that he said: "You are really good at negotiating terms. Okay, I promise you. You, hurry up and take up the post immediately. The Independent Regiment has just suffered a setback and its morale is low. You go If you don't bring me the independent regiment and restore its fighting strength, see how I deal with you."
"Yes, Brigadier. Just take a look." Li Yunlong said very confidently.
After talking about the business, Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Brigadier, I have some sweet potatoes to bake and some food and drinks. Come and sit at my place."
The brigade commander actually agreed to Li Yunlong's request and followed Li Yunlong to his room.
Xu Dalong quickly got some appetizers, poured wine for the two chiefs, and went out.
When Xu Dalong came in, the brigade commander kept staring at him. After watching his back leave, he turned to Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong, you had a good life as a child. You had meat and vegetables, and you were still drinking a little wine." .Tell me, where did you get so much money?”
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately became nervous. He immediately said: "Who the hell is talking nonsense outside? Brigadier, I, Li Yunlong, am a poor man. How can I have any money?"
The brigade commander said: "Li Yunlong, don't do this to me. Someone has reported it to me a long time ago, saying that you were brought in a lot of boxes with money by the clothing factory. There is a lot of money in the clothing factory every day. Don't give me anything. You're just pretending, do you want me to tell you about the discipline of the army? I'll punish you for corruption."
Li Yunlong believed that the brigade commander had not grasped the actual evidence. Xu Dalong was very cautious in doing things. The brigade commander did not know how much money he had now, but he only inferred from hearsay and the improvement of food in the clothing factory.
So Li Yunlong argued: "It's nothing. Brigadier, please don't accuse me wrongly."
The brigade commander pointed at Li Yunlong and said: "How dare you kid to play tricks on me. Let me ask you, when you were in the New Regiment, you captured the Type 92 Infantry Cannon. Why didn't you report it?"
Li Yunlong's face was full of depression. He knew that he could not defeat the brigade commander. He was obviously trying to rip him off, so he said: "Brigade commander, I have seized some enemy assets, but you asked me to go to the independent regiment." I can’t clean up the mess empty-handed.”
The brigade commander said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense to me. The brigade hasn't eaten meat for a long time. If you hand over 3,000 oceans happily, I won't hold you accountable for concealing the seized supplies."
Li Yunlong may not be regarded as selfish, but he is still willing to meet the requirements of the brigade commander. He was just willing to quarrel with the Brigadier because he felt so close to him. Seeing that what the brigade commander wanted was not too excessive, Li Yunlong said: "No problem, I will send someone to send it back to you."
The brigade commander said: "There is no need to give it to me. You take out the money and I will take it back myself."
Finally, the brigade commander and Li Yunlong chatted while drinking, and told Li Yunlong to pay attention to the emotions of Kong Jie and others after arriving at the Independent Regiment. After all, the Independent Regiment had just lost the battle and Kong Jie was dismissed from his post. After Li Yunlong goes there, he should pay attention to the way he works.
Li Yunlong assured the brigade commander that he would bring out the independent regiment to reach or even exceed the level of the new regiment.
The two chatted for a while, and then the brigade commander was ready to leave. Li Yunlong didn't want to take out money in front of the brigade commander, so he asked the brigade commander to rest in the room next door.
But the brigade commander refused, so he sat on the kang and waited for Li Yunlong to get the money immediately.
Li Yunlong had no choice but to ask Xu Dalong to pay for it.
Xu Dalong dug up the floor of the house and took out two jars. These two jars contained a total of 3,600 oceans. Just as he was about to take out 600 yuan from it, the brigade commander said: "What else can I take? That's all for those who are stingy."
When Li Yunlong heard that the brigade commander had asked for an extra 600 yuan from him, his body ached, but he did not dare to challenge the brigade commander, so he had to suffer the loss.
Li Yunlong stood up and said: "Brigadier, it's getting late. You, old man, should go back quickly."
He wanted to get rid of the brigade commander quickly, so as to prevent the brigade commander from taking a fancy to him again.
Really afraid of what might happen, the brigade commander turned his attention to Xu Dalong.
He said: "Are you Xu Dalong?"
Xu Dalong quickly stood at attention, saluted, and said: "Report to the brigade commander, Xu Dalong, a soldier of the new regiment's cooking squad."
The brigade commander looked at Xu Dalong and saw that this guy was strong. Although he had a simple and honest face, he could not hide his tough temperament. He said with appreciation: "Xu Dalong, I have heard that you captured the Type 92 infantry artillery of the New Regiment. You also captured the money, right?"
Xu Dalong did not dare to show off in front of the brigade commander, so he looked at Li Yunlong.
Now Xu Dalong has a very important position in Li Yunlong's mind, even as much as Zhang Dabiao. He was afraid that the brigade commander would take advantage of Xu Dalong, so he hurriedly said: "Brigadier, he didn't capture it. This kid is stupid. He only knows how to make a fire and cook. How can he have that ability? Oh, brigade commander, it's too late. Hurry up." Go back, otherwise you won’t be able to make it in time for dinner.”
The brigade commander had heard about Xu Dalong's deeds and really wanted to transfer him to the brigade headquarters. However, after reaping the benefits here today, he was too embarrassed to make other requests. So he got up and left.
Li Yunlong breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he felt bad for losing some money, fortunately he didn't lose any more people. Otherwise, if he lost Xu Dalong again and lost both his people and money, he would be too uncomfortable.
After all, Li Yunlong was a brave warrior and really didn't want to stay in the quilt factory. He decided to take Xu Dalong to leave the quilt factory tomorrow and take up a post in the Independent Regiment.
