On a snowy night, three torches appear very eye-catching in the wilderness and can be seen from two miles away.

The cold wind was blowing, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and the flames on the pine oil torch were whistling. After more than a hundred men walking silently from west to east, following closely the torch that was a hundred meters away in front, and approaching Huabu Town, an important city of the water and land transportation hub of the border between the two Zhejiangs, the torch in front slowly drew two large circles. More than 300 men in the rear immediately untied their rifles and pistols, divided into two teams, and hid into the dense grass and trees on both sides of the road.

Half a minute later, two bright horse lanterns appeared at the bridge head of Chinatown, across the river. Under the horse lantern, three officers and soldiers wearing military cotton jackets were clearly visible.

A group of fifteen people carrying three torches walked along the road to the west of the bridge. Two high-rise horse lanterns also slowly crossed the bridge from the east of the bridge. The two sides soon met at the west end of the bridge. They looked at each other through a row of horses lying across the two sides. The two newly built reinforced concrete fortresses at both ends were illuminated, but no one was seen.

Under the bright light, a young officer stepped forward and greeted: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Qingsong, wearing a sheepskin coat and a shell gun, held his fist and returned the salute, turned his body to the side and whispered: "Staff Officer Zhang, this is the Mr. Zhang you want to meet."

Zhang Dongning's eyes turned to Mr. Zhang, who was wearing a pair of glasses and panting, observed for a moment, and asked with concern: "Is Mr. Zhang feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Fenglan, who had a short breath, took a step forward: "It's not a problem. I wonder if your headquarters Commander Wu has also come?"

Zhang Dongning replied: "The troupe wanted to invite Mr. Zhang and others to go to the East Bank barracks to have a cup of hot tea, but was worried that you would not give me any face, so I sent me to ask if I would? If it is inconvenient, I would not force it. Just complete the transaction here. One thousand five hundred guns and fifty thousand rifle bullets were in the two fortifications on the left and right, and the total payment was 75,000 oceans, and the payment was paid in one hand and the goods were picked up."

Zhang Fenglan and others were very surprised. They thought the entire transaction process would be very dangerous, and they were even more worried that Wu Ming would suddenly turn against him and launch an attack, so they made extremely careful preparations. The 75,000 oceans were divided into eight parts, protected by the main camp hidden behind them, and planned to get half of the goods before paying the money. At this moment, after hearing Zhang Dongning's words, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Zhang Fenglan turned around and walked towards a middle-aged man with a wide face and high cheekbones behind him: "Lao Shao, what are your opinions?"

Lao Shao, who has experienced many battles, pondered for a moment: "Although in principle we cannot trust the enemy, from the information and current situation analysis of our hidden comrades, the other party has no intention of attacking us. There is only one enemy stationed on the other side, so do as soon as possible according to his wishes!"

"Old Zhang, it's better to go and meet the one named Wu, and find out what kind of person he is and what attitude he has towards our party? This is very important. According to our analysis, Wu Ming still values ​​feelings very much, otherwise he would not help and get you out of the Quzhou prison. Of course, the final decision is with you, and everything is putting safety first."

Zhang Fenglan nodded: "Then I'll go and meet that Wu Ming. It's better that you send someone to go with me. The organizational principles must be followed, otherwise you, the director of the political department, will not be able to explain it to you."

"Haha! Don't worry, my special commissioner, I'll let Captain Huang accompany you."

After Lao Shao finished speaking, he stepped forward and patted Mr. Zhang's arm, told him to turn around and leave, and two guards with double guns on their waists followed closely.

Ten minutes later, a staff officer led Zhang Fenglan and Kong Wu to a fierce and fierce commander Huang, who had a bright eyes, entered the inspection station in the northeast of the bridge. Wu Ming, who was standing at the door of the barracks, stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands, held Zhang Fenglan's cold hands tightly, and without saying a word, he pulled him into the room where two large basins of charcoal fires were placed. The two guards immediately brought warm fragrant tea.

"Sit down, Dongning, please help greet the guests! Sir, I heard that your breathing sound was wrong. Your illness must have not been cured yet, right? Is the medicine sent last time ineffective?" Wu Ming sat next to Mr. Zhang and asked with concern.

Zhang Fenglan felt moved in his heart. He stared at Wu Ming, who had almost changed his personality for a long time. He did not dare to say that he was reluctant to use the medicine he received, and all of them were sent to the Central Soviet Area.

The vigilant Captain Huang did not expect Wu Ming to be so polite to Special Forces Zhang. Moreover, the other party is handsome and has a righteous look. He has no trace of a powerful general in the propaganda of the Kuomintang newspapers, but instead looks more like a polite cultural person.

Wu Ming picked up the teacup and delivered it to Zhang Fenglan: "Sir, drink some tea first to warm your body."

Zhang Fenglan took two sips of hot tea, immediately put down the cup, and looked at Wu Ming carefully: "You have become more and I almost couldn't recognize you. When I was separated, I said we would meet again in the future. But when we met, I found that we were already in different camps, and luck made people!"

Wu Ming smiled slightly: "Whenever I think of the scene of separation, I sighed deeply, and deeply moved the road of life is full of unknowns and accidents. It is like walking on the earth. As long as you keep walking, you will encounter three-way intersections and intersections. Every time you reach an intersection, we need to make a choice. No matter how many wishes you have in your heart or whether you can see clearly or not, you still have to choose a direction to go. If you walk right, you will succeed, and if you walk wrong, you will fail. But before success and failure come, who can guarantee that the path you choose is correct? You are confused!"

Zhang Fenglan looked at Wu Ming blankly, pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so wise and good at thinking. It's a pity! If I knew you were such a talent, I wouldn't let you go if I came out of prison and beat you to death. I would definitely tie you to my side."

Wu Ming laughed: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this matter is difficult to be complete in ancient times. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away! The ancients saw so clearly and open-mindedly. With a master's talent, how could they not see through it?"

Zhang Fenglan was stunned, then laughed continuously, and then coughed violently, causing Wu Ming to quickly reach out and pat his back.

Not long after, the company commander of the spy company responsible for the transaction, Lu Kuiyuan arrived. He glanced at the bright-eyed Commander Huang, approached Wu Ming, and whispered: "Brother, after the business is finished, the other party quickly left with the goods, but there were hundreds of people ambushing between Guantang Village and Maojiawu two kilometers to the west."

"It's fast enough, I guess you haven't even found out the money, right? Haha!"

Wu Ming joked casually, went into the inner room and took out a yellow canvas bag and came to Mr. Zhang who was about to say goodbye: "Please take it, there are four bottles of special medicine ointment for treating trauma and six bottles of quinine pills, and a small Browning pistol and two boxes of bullets that others gave me, all for you."

"Mr. Zhang, after you go back, you have to take good care of your illness. If you really can't do it, come to me. Although Quzhou Church Hospital is not well-known, it has real materials and a complete range of medicines. Its scale and level are second only to Hangzhou Guangji Hospital, which is famous in Jiangnan."

"Thank you! Then I'm not polite."

Mr. Zhang happily accepted it, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Wu Ming was not polite, and said what he wanted to say in front of Mr. Zhang and the Captain Huang: "There is something I have to remind you that from this month, the defense of Kaihua and Changshan counties will be under my jurisdiction. I don't want to have any conflicts with your army. After you go back, you can discuss it and see if you can get along well?"

Captain Huang's face changed and he snorted fiercely at Wu Ming.

Lu Kuiyuan next to him immediately took a step forward, standing far away with the inconspicuous Adjutant Han quickly walked around behind Captain Huang, and Wu Ming quickly raised his hand to stop him.

Zhang Fenglan shook his head at Captain Huang, turned to Wu Ming, and said earnestly: "No matter what happens in the future, thank you for this matter today. I will bring your opinions back. However, I also want to advise Captain Wu to say, don't go to the same path as the Kuomintang. If you have no future, you are a smart person and know how to choose."

"Thank you for your advice!"

Wu Ming helped Zhang Fenglan forward, and didn't look at Captain Huang beside him, talking freely: "Sir, maybe you don't believe it. I have read the "** Manifesto", "Capital", "Dialectical Materialism" and other works, and can sing the "International Song", understand the rise and fall of the Paris Revolution and the Paris Commune, understand the surplus value theory and the foundation, purpose and means of the proletarian revolution, read Engels' "Dialectics of Nature", know the decisive influence of the international communist on your party and army, and even know that there is a German with the pseudonym of Li De, who was just sent by the International Communist to the Central Soviet Area of ​​the Soviet Union in southern Jiangxi, and also know that the respectable Mr. Mao has stepped aside. I also know that your Soviet Area is still pursuing and rebelling. You two come to see me today, and you have to explain it clearly when you go back, including every sentence and every word, otherwise there will be endless troubles, right?"

Zhang Fenglan was extremely shocked, his hands trembled slightly, and Captain Huang, who had just looked disdainful, was already scared and dumb.

Wu Ming helped Zhang Fenglan out of the door: "Sir, don't be surprised, there is something else to tell you. I have just recruited 800 new recruits, and more than 30 of them were robbers from Longtou Mountain that were annihilated by you in the middle of last month. The three branches of your 10th Army are in Maoshangang about 20 kilometers southeast of Dexing, and there are several other camps. I also know that there are not many secrets in that mountain within a radius of 200 miles, and it is not very difficult to figure it out."

"It's hard to say now that you have ambushed hundreds of people in the west of me, and there is a battalion eight kilometers northwest. It's not necessary! Don't forget that the Central Army, Guangdong Army, Fujian Cai Tingkai and other troops have launched a fourth encirclement and suppression against your Central Red Army. According to the internal notice I received, Jiangxi Provincial Chairman Xiong Shihui also wants to attack northeastern Jiangxi. In this case, it would be too unwise if you come to attack me, an old friend who is easy to talk to, right?"

Zhang Fenglan stopped and remained silent for three minutes. Finally, he sighed a long time, nodded to Wu Ming meaningfully, pulled the dazed Captain Huang and kept leaving.

After crossing the bridge and walking hundreds of meters, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but turn around and look back, but found that the place where Wu Ming was had turned black and there was no longer a trace of light.

"Captain Huang, what do you think of this Wu Ming?"

Commander Huang was silent for a long time and helped Mr. Zhang turn around and walk slowly: "This guy is terrible. I have fought for so many years and have never been afraid of anyone, but this surname Wu is too gloomy. He even knows that our third battalion ambushed more than ten miles north. It seems that our every move is under his close surveillance, but we can't see his depth clearly. It will be very troublesome to fight! Special Commissioner, you know this person named Wu, tell me what kind of person he is, why he knows so much. I have been in the party for four years. I have never heard of the books he said except the "** Declaration"!"

Mr. Zhang sighed quietly: "I don't know him either... The last time I saw him, it was your Secretary Fang who led his troops to attack Shangrao and rescued Qingsong and me. At that time, he was falsely accused and imprisoned Tonggong. His arm was broken, his head was blooming, and he almost died in a coma. Until everyone separated after the prison, he didn't say more than three words from beginning to end. It was the second time I saw him today, alas!"

Captain Huang was depressed and took more than a dozen steps, and suddenly asked, "Special Commissioner, ** is not the leader of us anymore? International Communists really sent a German named Li to the Central Soviet Area?"

"I don't know either. I can only report to Secretary Fang and Director Shao of the Political Department immediately after going back. This is a very important matter. As well as all the situation Wu Ming mentioned tonight, we must report to the central government in a timely manner."
