Fortunately, Zhou Wen didn't wait long before he saw Ergazi and Delengtai, wearing torn and dirty sheepskin robes, hurried over from behind to report.
It turned out that in order to find out the situation between the two warring parties, Zhou Wen asked Ergazi and Delengtai to find nearby poor herdsmen to change into Mongolian attire, and drove the dozens of sheep they bought to wander outside the battlefield, just to Catch two alive without revealing their identity.
You must know that the sight line is wide on the grassland. It is not easy to capture a few prisoners without anyone noticing when thousands of people are fighting. This takes a lot of trouble and time.
Fortunately, with Delengtai, an authentic prairie man, the two men dressed up as herdsmen looked somewhat decent, and finally attracted several mobile sentries from the attacking side to drive them away.
The result, of course, needless to say, was that several of them were knocked over by Ergazi's silenced pistol at close range, and the remaining two trembling cowards could only dismount and kneel on the ground as prisoners.
After Zhou Wen listened to Ergazi's report, he immediately guessed the whole story.
It turned out that the commanders on both sides of the war had their names in history, but they were not good names. They were all notorious traitors and bandits.
The leader of the defending army is called Liu Guitang, and people in the world call him Liu Heiqi. His name is what Zhou Wen heard from Wang Huzi in Dawangzhuang back then. He is a big bandit from Lunan who is well-known in the Central Plains. He also burns, kills, and loots. A brutal bandit who does all kinds of evil.
He is famous for burning and killing more than a thousand villages within a hundred miles of the bandit's nest in a few years, and killed more than 10,000 local villagers. As a result, the villages in this area were in ruins, the fields were deserted, and many villages were depopulated, and his reputation for cruelty spread.
Moreover, this person is not only evil-minded and cruel, but also has no integrity and integrity. He adheres to the creed that whoever has breasts is a mother, and has betrayed and taken refuge in many domestic forces in his life.
When the bandit force expanded to tens of thousands, General He, who was careful to develop his own strength, persuaded the principal to recruit him and made him a division commander. A big bandit who did all kinds of evil suddenly became a senior general of the National Revolutionary Army.
During the Central Plains War, this man was bribed by Marshal Yan and turned around to deal with the National Army. As a result, after the Central Plains War, he abandoned Marshal Yan and took refuge with Marshal Zhang, who was in the ascendant at that time.
After the September 18th Incident, seeing no future in following Marshal Zhang, and being surrounded and suppressed by the principal who held a grudge, he defected to the Shandong warlord Han Fuqi. Later, due to a dispute over interests, he was surrounded and suppressed by Han Fuqi's troops, and he fled with the remaining followers. When I arrived in Rehe, I actually contacted the Japanese and puppet forces in the Northeast, and became a traitor for the first time.
This is not all, he is capricious, he is also double-dealing with the Japanese, and he rebels again and again.
Some people say that if you rebel against the Japanese, don’t you become a patriot?
But this is not the case with Liu Guitang. He is purely based on his own interests and has no feelings for family and country or national justice in his heart.
I don't know if it was because the Japanese and puppets gave him too little sweetness, but later he broke away from the Japanese and puppet forces and joined the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces of Marshal Feng.
After the defeat of the Allied Forces, he defected to Song Mingyuan's 29th Army. He was unstable for a few months. Resenting Song Mingyuan's unfair distribution, he led his troops to break away from the 29th Army without authorization and fled back to Shandong.
At this time, Shandong Province Chairman Han Fuqi no longer tolerated this duplicitous and despicable villain, and sent out a large army to encircle and suppress his bandit troops. Liu Guitang fled alone to the Japanese Concession in Tianjin to seek asylum from the Japanese. The second time Became a traitor.
But after living a life of wielding great power, how could Liu Guitang be willing to be a pony under the Japanese?
Therefore, after less than a year in Tianjin, he went to Xuanhua again to contact the old bandits who had been dispersed, and soon they became a large bandit with thousands of people.
This time, because his reputation among all the forces in the Republic of China has become bad, he has become a rat crossing the street and everyone is shouting to beat him. No one will take him in. Instead, all forces continue to send troops to attack and suppress him.
Just when he fled to Hebei, he was attacked head-on by the 29th Army of the Song and Mingyuan Dynasties and the 32nd Army of Shangzheng. Thousands of his men were wiped out. He was left alone and fled back to Tianjin to join the Japanese. He became a traitor for the third time. .
After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, he was appointed by the Japanese as the advancing commander-in-chief of the Imperial Association Army in Shandong Province. With his reputation as a bandit, he gathered thousands of bandits under his command in Shandong in just six months, and gradually Got strength again.
With guns and men under his command, his capricious temper broke out again, and he became impatient with the Japanese master's bossy, and his attitude became less submissive.
This time, even the Japanese were not prepared to coddle him, so they sent troops to disarm him, and a war broke out between master and slave.
Liu Guitang was also a chicken thief. When he saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, he led his troops to withdraw from Jiaodong and marched into the mountainous area of Luzhong under the banner of "anti-Japanese resistance anyway."
At this time, the anti-Japanese battlefield was at its most tense. The frontal battlefield was defeated again and again, and most of the country fell into the hands of the enemy. How could the National Government care about his past at this time? In line with the mentality that mosquito legs are also meat, He was named the commander of the new 36th Division.
As a result, Liu Guitang, a capricious villain, wandered around among various forces, and actually became the lieutenant general and division commander of the National Army again.
Later, not only did this person's resistance to Japan lie, but his real desire to be the king of the mountain was to dominate. Not only did he not dare to fight the Japanese, but he had a wrong idea about the Eighth Route Army base area, and he brutally massacred countless soldiers and civilians in the base area, and was finally arrested. The Eighth Route Army was furious and wiped out all of them.
Liu Gui himself was defeated by various forces many times in his life but his ability and luck to escape with his life failed this time. He was shot dead on the spot by the Eighth Route Army, ending his criminal life.
It should be said that although this person is cruel and despicable by nature, he still has some abilities, otherwise he would not have been recruited by various forces countless times, and survived countless times under the encirclement and suppression of various forces, and he was able to survive again in a short period of time. Can gather people and horses again to restore strength.
This kind of ability is not just something that can be achieved by wearing the name of a famous bandit. This person must have something special about him.
Of course, Zhou Wen didn't know so many historical details about Liu Guitang. He only knew that he was a famous bandit and traitor in history. It was not clear how he died.
Of course, if given the chance, Zhou Wen wouldn't mind getting rid of this scourge, but now is not the time.
Although Zhou Wen doesn't know how this person became a national army guarding Duolun, according to the current position, he is still a friendly force, and it is difficult to attack someone who has no name or distinction.
What's more, the people this person is fighting are out-and-out traitors and puppet troops. He can't help the puppet troops fight Liu Guitang, who is still a national army in name, right?
