Chapter 67: President Li Yunlong's partnership with Yan Laoxi!(1/2)
On the way to Xiaohuang Mountain, the boss and his guards rode slowly and leisurely along the way, just like a sightseeing horse. They would also stop to check and discuss where nearby would be suitable for an ambush.
The guard smiled and said: "Boss, we set off early in the morning. Logically we should have arrived at Xiaohuangshan two hours ago. If this continues, aren't you worried that Yan Laoxi will be killed by Li Yunlong?"
The boss laughed: "Don't worry, although Li Yunlong likes to do random things, he still has some sense of propriety."
"But Yan Laoxi, it's better to let him suffer a little, it will save him trouble and make everyone uneasy!"
The guard smiled bitterly and stopped talking. He thought to himself: What kind of person leads what kind of soldiers? There is a reason why Li Yunlong is like this!
After more than three hours of driving, the boss and his team finally arrived at Xiaohuangshan before lunch.
As soon as we entered Xiaohuangshan, the boss almost stopped laughing.
The troops of a brigade were squeezed together. I really don't know how Yan Laoxi arranged his troops.
If we were facing Japanese enemies, we would only need a dozen mortars and some grenade launchers to blow up this entire brigade!
Seeing the boss of the Eighth Route Army approaching, Yan Laoxi quickly ran to the boss as if he was seeing a savior.
But he seemed to remember his identity again and suddenly became serious again.
"You're finally here. I've sent so many telegrams, why are you here now? Do you, the Eighth Route Army, still think of me as the highest commander of the World War II zone?"
The boss frowned, feeling somewhat unhappy.
Is this an attitude of begging for help? Those who don’t know better would think that you, Yan Laoxi, are here to save people.
Although he felt unhappy, Yan Laoxi was right. After all, he was his nominal commander, so he still had to give him some face.
The boss smiled and said: "Sir Yan, you also know about the telegram from our headquarters. It has been several years and you have not replaced it for us."
"No, I received the telegram this morning and rushed over here!"
Yan Laoxi was stunned, coughed quickly, and changed the subject.
"Let's ignore the telegram for now. Hurry up and take charge of your soldiers. This Li Yunlong is really outrageous. I am also your superior after all, and he treats me like this?"
The boss chuckled: "Please don't worry, sir. I'll go find Li Yunlong and ask them to make a way for you."
After saying that, the boss immediately led the security guards in the direction of Li Yunlong.
At this time, Li Yunlong was no longer in front of the battle, but had returned to his house.
After all, Yan Laoxi is besieged here and can't go anywhere. In addition, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang are here, so he stays here to accompany Yan Laoxi's eyes.
"Where is Li Yunlong? This kid trapped Chief Yan here, where did he die?"
The boss asked with a smile. Although his tone sounded angry, he was already happy in his heart.
If Yan Laoxi hadn't been here, he would have planned to praise Li Yunlong.
Huzi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Boss, our deputy brigade commander said that he still had work to deal with, so he went back to the house first. If you need anything, you can go to his house to see him!"
The boss nodded, and then strode towards Li Yunlong's house.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Li Yunlong's house, he heard the sound of Li Yunlong humming a tune from inside the house.
"Li Yunlong!"
The boss kicked open the door and roared. Li Yunlong was startled at the table and was about to curse, but after seeing the person clearly, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Hey! Boss, why are you here, boss? Come on, come on, please sit down!"
The boss took off his hat, sat down on the chair, pointed at the peanuts on the table and said with a smile: "You have a pretty good life, I don't even get this kind of treatment!"
Li Yunlong chuckled, picked up the bowl that was upside down on the table, poured wine for the boss, and said: "Isn't this thanks to your boss? If it weren't for your command, how could we have such a good life?"
The boss picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "You kid, stop pouring me the ecstasy soup. I don't understand you yet? I got up early in the morning and rushed to your place, but you kid is hiding in the house drinking old wine. Is it ridiculous?"
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Can't I get out now? Yan Laoxi is still blocking the door, and the troops are confronting him. I don't have anything to do without drinking!"
The boss couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Is that a confrontation? You have made Yan Laoxi like that, can this be called a confrontation?"
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Yan Laoxi is our nominal commander after all. It's not appropriate for you to keep besieging him like this. Tell me your conditions. Why are you willing to let him go?"
Li Yunlong pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Boss, you also know that conditions in our Eighth Route Army are difficult. Since I was promoted to deputy brigade commander, I have provided equipment for many units of our 386th Brigade."
"I'm in the warehouse now, but I don't have any guns in stock. Yan Laoxi is our nominal commander. Is it too much for me to ask him for a brigade of weapons and equipment? Obviously it's not too much!"
The boss covered his head and looked a little blind: "You boy, you have no other skills, but you are quite capable of pretending to be a wolf with a big tail!"
"You have no equipment. I guess if you open your weapons warehouse, I will be flooded with weapons and ammunition immediately."
"Also, next time something like this happens, don't act so recklessly. Is it ridiculous to hold Yan Laoxi here? You need to know how to be humane!"
Li Yunlong touched his nose and said with a smile: "Boss, don't you still know who Li Yunlong is? The one who knows the world best?"
"You think about it, Commander Yan came with his troops to seize my territory and I didn't kill him. This is called a favor. Then I accidentally trapped him here. This is called an accident!"
The boss laughed: "You kid always has some crooked ideas. So, as long as Yan Laoxi gives you a brigade of equipment, you will let him go?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "Of course, I, Li Yunlong, am not a bad person. I can't do kidnapping and extortion!"
The boss glanced at Li Yunlong strangely: "You, Li Yunlong, are a good person!"
"But, do this brigade really have enough weapons?"
Li Yunlong was a little confused. Didn't the boss come to ask him to let Yan Laoxi go? Why this expression? It made him a little confused!
Li Yunlong asked tentatively: "Boss, do you think the weapons and equipment of this brigade are enough or not?"
The boss smacked his lips and said with a look of resentment: "He Yan Laoxi is our nominal commander. Isn't it right to give our Eighth Route Army some military pay? Have you received it these years?"
Li Yunlong suddenly realized: "Boss, you told me earlier, looking at you like this, I thought it was too much!"
"Don't worry, with this military salary, I will definitely come back today!"
The boss nodded with satisfaction: "You know what to do, now, go and don't disturb my drinking!"
Li Yunlong nodded, turned around and walked out of the house, not forgetting to glance at the bottle of wine on the table before leaving.
After Li Yunlong left, the boss poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Yan Laoxi, you are quite unlucky too!"
After a while, Yan Laoxi, who was sitting on the stone, saw Li Yunlong leaning forward and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Li Yunlong, where is your boss? Why are you here alone!"
Li Yunlong said with a bad smile: "Our boss came here early in the morning and is eating at my place now. He sent me to let you go back!"
Yan Laoxi was overjoyed and shouted quickly: "Since he asked you to let me go back, why don't you quickly ask your people to get out of the way? Don't you want to disobey the military order?"
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Sir, the military order is a military order, but I, Li Yunlong, am a man of my word. As long as you keep a brigade of equipment and pay back the military salary you owed our Eighth Route Army, I promise to let you go!"
Yan Laoxi was dumbfounded. Why did the price increase so suddenly?
The Eighth Route Army's salary that was owed before? Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he has almost never paid the Eighth Route Army's salary like this. Now he can't get it out.
Yan Laoxi turned around and glanced at the soldiers behind him. No matter what, he could not agree to this condition, otherwise what dignity would he have in the hearts of his subordinates in the future?
Looking up at Li Yunlong, Yan Laoxi cursed angrily: "Li Yunlong, let alone weapons and military pay, I won't give you even a bullet."
Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Sir Yan, you are a businessman. You should know that our negotiation has broken down. Since this is the case, let's continue to waste it like this!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong turned around and left without looking back, preparing to have a couple of drinks with his boss.
As soon as he returned to the house, the boss quickly asked: "How was it? Yan Laoxi agreed?"
Li Yunlong shook his head: "How can it be possible? He Yan Laoxi is so shrewd. He didn't agree with any of the weapons and military sounds!"
The boss laughed and said, "You have a big appetite, and you're paying for weapons and military pay. Are you trying to kill Yan Laoxi?"
Li Yunlong spread his hands, a little anxious.
"Can you blame me for this? I thought Yan Laoxi would bargain before I quoted this price. I didn't expect Yan Laoxi to be so stingy. He refused even if he bargained for a price. What can I do?"
The boss was speechless again: "You boy, this is a typical gangster logic. If you ask me, you should just give up your weapons and equipment and ask him for military pay. You don't like his weapons and equipment anyway!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Boss, this is what you said. I will tell Yan Laoxi the lowest price tonight. However, if I want him to agree, you have to cooperate with me. We have to sing a double act!"
The boss was stunned and asked curiously: "What else are you trying to do?"
Li Yunlong chuckled, leaned down and whispered in the boss's ear.
After a while, the boss looked at Li Yunlong with a strange look on his face, his face full of disgust!
.......
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Yunlong walked slowly to the entrance of the military camp, turned to look at Hu Zi and asked, "How are you now?"
Huzi smiled and said: "It has been two days and two nights since we surrounded Yan Laoxi. During this period, they have not touched a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice! The Jinsui Army is now exhausted and they are all lying on the ground sleeping.
Save your energy!"
Li Yunlong sneered: "This Yan Laoxi, my brothers haven't gone to bed yet. They have gone to bed first. Go and let the brothers fire a few cannons to refresh them."
"Still sleeping? Are you here for a trip?"
The corner of Huzi's mouth twitched and he thought: This is too cruel. Even if he is not allowed to eat or drink, he is not even allowed to sleep. This is simply abuse!
Although Huzi thought so in his heart, he was still happy to deal with Yan Laoxi in this way.
After a while, all Li Yunlong's troops received the order and quickly pointed their guns at the open space one by one.
"boom!"
