Xu Dalong said: "I'm not interested in what's going on in your village. I just want to rescue my people. You can agree to whatever conditions the second-in-command has. I keep my word, and I will turn around and leave as soon as I receive someone.
Third Master, if you handle this matter well, I owe you a favor, brother, and I will definitely reward you heavily. "
Wang Dayong has now understood how powerful Xu Dalong is. He knows very well that if he helps Xu Dalong, the benefits he will get in the future will be unimaginable.
He said: "Mr. Xu, please rest assured, I will do my best to solve this matter." After that, he walked up the mountain.
When Wang Dayong came to the mountain, Li Baokui asked: "What's going on with these officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain? Why did they suddenly surround our Tongniu Village?"
Wang Dayong was very smart. He said: "Congratulations to the boss, I have long disliked Yang Jinlong. Now that you have become the boss, our village will become more and more prosperous in the future. I am willing to follow your lead and follow your lead in the future." You are on the front and back of the horse, working for you."
After all, Wang Dayong is also an old man in the village, and he also has his own group of cronies here. Li Baokui wants to win him over for his own use.
Li Baokui said: "Brother Dayong, I'm serious. We were good brothers before, and we will be a family in the future. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well, brother, in the future."
Wang Dayong said: "Thank you, the boss. There is one more thing, brother, I want to congratulate the boss."
Li Baokui said with some confusion: "Where does happiness come from?"
Wang Dayong said: "
Strictly speaking, this generous gift is not given to the boss by me, but by Yang Jinlong, who is greedy for women. The woman he caught is really too rich. Her brother is the brigade commander of the Jinsui Army, so that's a good idea. The one is the major general of the Guo Army.
This is nothing, she also has a good friend named Xu Dalong, this person is even more powerful and famous all over the world. There is no information in our village, so we don't know much about it, but officially this person is famous. Although he is very young, he is only in his 20s. He has no less than 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, and he has killed at least tens of thousands of islanders.
Moreover, this man has great reputation in the Zhongyang Army. I heard that his woman was in our cottage, so he led his troops to surround our cottage. "
Li Baokui became more and more confused and said: "This person has such a big background and is still surrounding our village. What kind of happy event is this?"
Wang Dayong smiled and said: "Master, this person was not captured by you, but by that guy Yang Jinlong. As long as we hand him over to the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, they will not cause trouble for us.
Not only that, in order to give you, the head of the family, a meeting gift, I also made a request to them, saying that you, the head of the family, protected this woman in the village, so she was not harmed by Yang Jinlong. That Xu Dalong, in order to express his gratitude to you, promised to give you a generous gift. "
Li Baokui suddenly realized it and said, "This is really good news. Tell me, what gift will he give us?"
Wang Dayong said: "That Chief Xu is very generous. He said that as long as we send the people down the mountain safely, they will give the boss 20,000 yuan, five machine guns, 200 rifles, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition."
"What, so many?" Li Baokui didn't expect that Xu Dalong would be so generous. They had never gotten so many benefits at once before, especially being able to get so many weapons and ammunition, which was what Tongniu Village dreamed of.
The bandits talked a lot and were very happy.
Li Baokui said happily: "This is great. Brother Dayong, I leave this matter to you, but you still have to be careful about this matter to prevent them from changing their minds. I think you can let them give half of it first Bring the things up the mountain, and then we'll hand the people over."
Wang Dayong said: "No problem. That Chief Xu is a very generous man and he will definitely keep his word. Brother, I will go down the mountain and let them bring the gifts up."
Li Baokui said excitedly: "Okay, okay, then it's all thanks to Brother Dayong for the hard work."
Wang Dayong raised his hand towards Li Baokui and was about to walk down the mountain when Gao Youyou, the fourth head of the village, reached out to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say."
Wang Dayong had no choice but to stop, and Gao Youyou said to Li Baokui: "Master, please take a step to speak."
Li Baokui looked at him with some confusion, Gao Youyou nodded towards him and winked again. Li Baokui followed Gao Youyou to the back hall.
Gao Youyou said: "Master, I'm afraid this deal can't be done. Although you didn't catch that woman with your own hands, she is in our village after all. Didn't the third master just say that this woman's lover was killed before?" Many islanders, if they knew that we had let his woman go, they probably wouldn't let it go."
Li Baokui felt a little worried for a while. The reason why he took action to kill Yang Jinlong was because he had promised the islanders in advance to accept their incorporation. Because Yang Jinlong did not agree, he got rid of Yang Jinlong at the instruction of the islanders.
Now the people sent by the islanders are in the stronghold, and the fact that the captured women are exchanged for weapons, ammunition and Dayang must not be hidden from him. The people of the island country have promised him that as long as Yang Jinlong is eliminated and the people from Tongniu Village defect to the people of the island country, the people of the island country will directly give him a leader of the Huang Xie Army, ask for money, and provide him with additional troops. The temptation of this condition is really too great.
Seeing Li Baokui's hesitation, Gao Youyou said: "Master, although these officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain are very powerful, there is also Xu Dalong, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a foreigner and cannot stay here for a long time. Don't look at them now. The people at the foot of the mountain surrounded us, but given our terrain, they couldn't attack us, and they would retreat in a few days.
After these people leave, if the islanders come, how will we explain to them? Nowadays, the world belongs to the islanders. They have aircraft and cannons. It would be very easy for them to come and attack our copycat villages. The people of this island country cannot afford to be offended.
Since the third boss said that woman's identity is so valuable, if she is given to the islanders, we will definitely gain more benefits. We might as well keep this woman and use her to negotiate with the islanders. Maybe we can directly give you, the boss, a brigade commander. The brigade commander is a major general, and you will be proud of your ancestors. "
Li Baokui listened to Gao Youyou's words. He remained silent and weighed the interests repeatedly.
Gao Youyou said: "Master, I think it's better to talk to the people from the island nation and listen to what they have to say."
Li Baokui nodded and said, "Okay, you go with me."
The two of them came out of the back hall and came to a small private courtyard in the back house. Several islanders in plain clothes saw them coming, so they opened the door and let them in.
In the room was a medium-sized island native named Kurosawa Hiroaki, a major in the Japanese Army's Special High School. He had already heard that Tongniu Village was surrounded by the Guo Army. He was a little scared, worried that the bandits would hand him over.
In order to stabilize Li Baokui, Kurosawa Hiroaki said: "Master, you don't have to worry. I have already sent a telegram to Colonel, and the Huang Army will soon send a large force to relieve the siege."
Kurosawa Hiroaki did not lie. They brought a radio with them when they came out. They had indeed sent a telegram to the local Japanese garrison, requesting that troops be sent for reinforcements.
Hearing this, Gao Youyou winked at Li Baokui and nodded.
Li Baokui became more and more hesitant. Now he was inclined to defect to the islanders, but after all, he was surrounded by the Guo army. If the islanders were unable to drive away the Guo army that surrounded them, although the Guo army here did not have planes, they would They have cannons, and a single indiscriminate bombardment is enough to drink a pot of Tongniu Village.
What's more, the identity of the woman they captured is so valuable. If those Guo soldiers, regardless of life and death, desperately attack, the stronghold may be knocked down.
He is really in a dilemma now. Both sides are so powerful, and he can't afford to offend either side. Even if he finally surrenders to the islanders, he must survive first.
He asked: "Mr. Kurosawa, when will the Yellow Army's large army arrive?"
Kurosawa Hiroaki's telegram had not received a reply after it was sent, and he couldn't be sure. However, in order to stabilize Li Baokui, he said: "There is no problem with this. I believe that Huang Jun has assembled a large force and is coming here."
At this moment, the radio's indicator light flashed "Bah, Bahba", and the operator brought by Kurosawa received the telegram. The telegram said that the Japanese army had dispatched an infantry brigade and the military police of Tongbai County. The team is heading here. It will take up to five hours to reach Tongniu Village.
Kurosawa told Li Baokui the content of the telegram, and said specifically: "Master, now is the time to test your loyalty to the Yellow Army. As long as you hold the mountain stronghold and cooperate with the Huang Army to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces at the foot of the mountain, you will do your best to Huang Jun has made a great contribution, I will recommend to my superiors and entrust you with a heavy responsibility. My words are very weighty to the Colonel, and I will recommend you to be the brigade commander of Huang Xiejun."
After hearing this, Li Baokui finally made up his mind, but he was still cautious and did not tell Kurosawa Hiroaki about Chu Yun'er's relationship with the officers and soldiers at Yamashita. He is a shrewd man, and he still has to leave some room for success before the final result comes out.
He said: "Mr. Kurosawa, please don't worry. I will definitely guard the mountain stronghold and wait for the Yellow Army to come. Don't worry, I will fully bear the responsibility for your safety. Even if the stronghold is destroyed, I will not let Yamashita Those anti-Japanese elements hurt you.
You guys rest here first while I check the defense of the mountain stronghold to prevent the anti-Japanese elements at the bottom of the mountain from attacking up the mountain. "
Returning to the meeting hall, Li Baokui did not go in immediately, but asked Gao Youyou to call Wang Dayong over.
Li Baokui said: "Third leader, the matter is very difficult. The islanders have sent a large force over. At this time, we dare not agree to the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
My opinion is that we wait for time until the islanders come, and see which side of them can win, and we will defect to that side. "
After all, Wang Dayong is also a member of Tongniu Village, and he does not want Tongniu Village to be destroyed by others.
He said: "The boss's considerations are reasonable. Let's wait and see the final result."
Li Baokui said: "The people from the island country said that it will take five or six hours for their large group of troops to come over. During this time, they still need to stabilize the people at the bottom of the mountain. I need to bother you, brother, to go down the mountain and find a way to drag this matter. Delay time."
, Wang Dayong nodded and said: "I understand, boss, I will go down the mountain and try to stabilize them."
Xu Dalong and others were waiting at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that Wang Dayong had been gone for so long, everyone had a feeling that things might not go so smoothly.
Adjutant Liu said: "
Chief Xu, why don't you let the brothers fire a few cannons on the mountain? Put some more pressure on the bandits. "
Xu Dalong was thinking about this matter. He expected that the bandits on the mountain were surrounded and did not dare to harm Chu Yun'er easily. The more determined his side's attitude was, the more secure Chu Yun'er's safety would be.
He nodded and said, "Then please arrange it so that during the shooting, don't attack their cottage directly, so as not to hurt Miss Chu."
At this moment, the sentry in front shouted: "Sir, the people on the mountain are coming down."
The door to the cottage opened, and someone walked out.
Xu Dalong's eyesight was excellent, and he could directly identify the person coming without a telescope as Wang Dayong.
Adjutant Liu also used his binoculars to see clearly that the person coming was Wang Dayong, so he stopped issuing orders for artillery fire.
Wang Dayong came to Xu Dalong and said: "Sir Xu, things are still a little troublesome. I will tell you that there are people from the island country in our village. They have already contacted them and said that the team of the people from the island country will be here in four or five hours." He will rush over, but Li Baokui can't make up his mind now. He doesn't want to offend anyone. Look at this..."
Wang Dayong is a smart man, and the reason why he tells the truth is to protect himself.
If he didn't tell Xu Dalong that the islanders were coming, if Xu Dalong and the others were attacked by the islanders and suffered a loss, they would definitely be angry with the people in the village. He, Wang Dayong, was entrusted by Xu Dalong, but he failed to negotiate the matter, and he was directly hated by others. If this group of people defeated the islanders, there would be absolutely no way for him to survive.
Having said this, Wang Dayong looked at the faces of Xu Dalong and others, and their anger could already be seen on their faces.
He hurriedly said: "Sir Xu, I have already agreed with Li Baokui that Tongniu Village will never harm the young lady you are looking for. After this battle is over, they will definitely be sent down the mountain. .”
The reason why he said these words again was to leave a way out for the people in Tongniu Village.
Xu Dalong was also a little helpless now. He now knew very well that if the Japanese army that came over could not be eliminated, it would be impossible for the people in Tongniu Village to release Chu Yun'er.
He said: "Third Leader, this will be the case for the time being. Please go up the mountain and be sure to protect Miss Chu's safety.
But let’s start with the ugly talk. No one should have any ideas about Miss Chu, let alone hand her over to the islanders. Otherwise, I will definitely wipe out all the people in Tongniu Village and leave no chickens or dogs behind. "
Wang Dayong nodded and said: "Don't worry, Chief Xu, I will go up the mountain to protect Miss Chu's safety."
