As one of the most influential warlords of the Republic of China, Yan Laoxi's life has been very difficult since the day he lost Taiyuan. Originally, he owned Jin Province and Suiyuan in China, but now he can only hide in some small counties and even mountainous areas on the border of Jin Province, living a very tormented life.

His life has been even harder recently. He originally thought that the People's Party and the Militia Corps launched a large-scale attack on the occupied areas around Jin Province, so the situation in Jin Province would definitely become chaotic. As long as it became chaotic, I believe he could find a chance to regain the old nest in Taiyuan. But the Japanese's tenacious blockade made his hope completely wiped out.

When the People's Party conquered Sandong and Nanhe provinces, he led nearly 200,000 main forces under him, but he didn't even find Taiyuan City. If the attack was not smooth, it was nothing. The key was that as the war lasted, the Jinsui army began to feel discouraged. After attacking every day, the casualties made these soldiers who were determined to liberate Jin Province feel even more heartbroken.

It is natural that they say they don’t work hard but don’t work hard. The most important thing is that the Japanese garrison stationed in Taiyuan is too cunning, and they are determined to save some large counties and do not fight in the field with the main force of the Jin army. The Jin army, which has no heavy weapons, relying on the small-caliber cannons in the past, could not take over the important areas of the county towns with full defenses now.

If you rely solely on human life every day, more casualties will naturally cause the officers and soldiers to lose confidence in victory. In addition, after the attack has been so long, no progress has been seen. The officers and soldiers who were once more confident will be sincerely filled with frustration. When Yan Laoxi reacted, his troops were almost fighting the same as the Japanese, and stopped and came to something more threatening to him.

Although the current Jinsui Army is not as powerful as before, for the Kuomintang, which urgently needs to win over some warlord forces and the militia corps, the Jinsui Army, which had unstable military morale at this time, became one of the best warlord forces to win over. It turned out that some troops that were loyal to them changed their course and left their troops because of the temptations that the Kuomintang once threw out one after another.

Yan Laoxi was really anxious and red from his eyes. Even Fu Zuoyi, who had complained the most about him, ignored the other party's rebellion. He actually proposed that as long as Deng Chenggong let him regain control of Jin Province, he could join the Militia Corps like Deng Chenggong. In this way, the chairman who stabbed him in the back and made him extremely angry.

Fu Zuoyi, who received a letter from the middleman, dared not express any opinions on the decision made by the old commander. He could only say that he could pass the message on behalf of the old commander Yan, and if possible, it would be better to let Yan Laoxi go to the liberated area of ​​the militia corps and discuss this matter with Deng Chenggong in person.

Even though he is now the commander of the military sub-district in the Liberated Area of ​​the Militia Corps, he still keeps his promise when he joined the Militia Corps and does not do anything beyond his responsibilities as much as possible. In addition to Yan Laoxi's status and prestige in the country, his joining cannot be agreed to casually. Even if Deng Chenggong is the one who must agree to the joining of his old commander, he must think twice before doing it!

What's more, once Jin Province is taken down and handed it over to the old commander who is famous for placing on several boats in China, he will really cause trouble in the future. I guess Fu Zuoyi is not sure what to do when facing an old commander and a new commander. He simply asked his old commander to talk to Deng Chenggong. It would be fine if he acted as an introducer.

When he learned that Fu Zuoyi could arrange a meeting with Deng Chenggong for him, Yan Laoxi, who was really unwilling to sink into this, began to wait for the news that Deng Chenggong agreed to the meeting. Moreover, this anxious mood became more and more obvious as the troops were eroded day by day.

If Fu Zuoyi had not told him that the telegram had been sent to Deng Chenggong, and Deng Chenggong had agreed to meet in Shijiazhuang. However, there were still some things to be solved in Peking and it would take some time to wait. It is estimated that when the telegram arrived, Yan Laoxi would be ready to go to Shijiazhuang.

When Deng Chenggong took the train to Shijiazhuang, he also sent a telegram with Taizu, who moved his headquarters to Jinan City, hoping that if he was convenient, he could go to Shijiazhuang to have a chat. In the telegram, he also revealed that the person who met this time was Yan Laoxi. Although he did not say what was going on, everyone knew the situation in Jin Province.

After receiving the telegram, Taizu soon realized just like Deng Chenggong that Chief Yan would not have to pay a visit to the dock again and ask the country's upstart, the Militia Corps, for help. So if he needs help, there seems to be no other reason except that he is worthy of recapturing Jin Province.

What's more, with the intelligence department of the People's Party, otherwise the situation of the Jin army would be very unfavorable. If it is dragged on, this army that has made significant contributions to the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan will probably disappear from the domestic stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Moreover, most of the annexed troops will turn to the Kuomintang side, which is still unwilling to see for the People's Party. So after receiving the telegram, Taizu quickly replied that he would definitely arrive in Shijiazhuang on time to participate in this tripartite talks.

After receiving the accurate answer from the People's Party, Deng Chenggong arrived in Shijiazhuang by train. After preparing for the tripartite meeting in Shijiazhuang, he ordered the troops of Datong to mobilize the battle, because no matter what, it was time for the Japanese army in Jinzhou who was nestled among the three parties to be dismissed for him.

As soon as the militia troops in the Datong Military Sub-district moved, the Japanese army in Taiyuan, who were always paying attention to them, began to be excited, so that before the battle began, the Japanese army in the entire Jin Province entered a state of high alert. They were afraid that the strongest armed forces in northern China would regard them as the next target of their practice. If even Jin Province was lost, then their power in the north would probably be the Northeast.

Fortunately, the Japanese army in Nanhe saw the opportunity quickly, and the vast number of troops were replenished to the Jin Provincial Expeditionary Army, which had tense troops. The regular Japanese troops stationed in Jin Province have expanded from less than 100,000 to nearly 150,000 at the time, including an armored division deployed by the Japanese army here.

This is why every time Yan Laoxi saw a little hope, he let the Japanese rob it back while fighting the newly recovered territory. Without the weapons of the armored troops, failure is naturally inevitable. But now in front of Yan Laoxi, the family he had accumulated was almost emptied by Deng Chenggong.

If he wants to expand the army or buy weapons and equipment, he is powerless! This is why he did not turn to the Kuomintang but chose the Militia Corps. Because of the sensitivity of the merchants, he felt that even if he sold the Jin army, he would have to find a good buyer. Compared with the Kuomintang and the Militia Corps, he valued the latter's future development better.

Although the Kuomintang now has a lot of foreign aid support, the strength of the Militia Corps at this time has proved that they did not take the Japanese seriously. At least in Yan Laoxi's opinion, the Kuomintang today does not have the confidence to do so.

Shortly after Deng Chengcheng arrived at the militia headquarters in Shijiazhuang, Yan Laoxi successfully arrived in Shijiazhuang through the Taitong Militia Corps defense zone. When he got off the bus, out of respect for the veteran on the stage of the War of Resistance of the Republic of China, Deng Chengcheng went to the platform to pick up the station himself.

Seeing Deng Chenggong still gave him such great respect. Yan Laoxi also felt that he should have come to Shijiazhuang this time. At least in terms of dealing with people, he believed that if he went to Shancheng, he would probably send the Minister of National Defense or something to pick up the station. If Chairman Jiang wanted to pick up the station himself, it was probably only the young Chinese general in front of him that would have this style.

Although he had been a neighbor with the militia corps for so long, this was the first time that the two sides met. Deng Chenggong knew that the railway station was not a place to chat, so after introducing the entourage staff of both sides, he quickly arranged for Yan Laoxi and his group to get in the car and go straight to the militia headquarters in Shijiazhuang.

For the sake of this tripartite talks, Deng Chenggong specially called Fu Zuoyi, who was the intermediary of his and Jinsui Army, and he was responsible for entertaining Yan Laoxi and his group of people in Shijiazhuang. This was nothing more than hope, so that Fu Zuoyi felt guilty for the old commander and paid it back as soon as possible.

It was also since Fu Zuoyi joined the militia corps and saw Yan Laoxi sitting in the car for the first time when he saw him sitting in the car, and he sighed: "Yisheng, it seems that your vision is better than mine. In such a short time, you have become a senior executive of the militia corps, and the area you control is even greater than the Jinsui base we set back then!"

When Fu Zuoyi saw that Yan Laoxi said this, he seemed to have no intention of sarcasm, and said with shame: "Old Chief, in fact, Yisheng made this choice, and he also found a way out for his brothers. But what I want to say is that if the old Chief is really determined to stand aside with us this time, then I think you still have any ideas to say.

Brother Deng is a real person, and there is no need to say those polite words. For him, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, whether it is you or me, he is willing to help. And when you arrive here, the two main troops in Suiyuan have already started to move and are preparing to enter Datong. I think Jin Province will definitely take it back this time.

If the old general really wants to have a good way out for the three Jin people, I think there is still something to say. I believe Commander Deng will consider it. Regardless of whether other people admit it or not, I think the three Jin people are still waiting for you to go back and rescue them. As long as the expectations of these fellow villagers can be fulfilled, I think it is enough for us today. Isn’t it?"

These words came out of Fu Zuoyi's mouth. Yan Laoxi could hear a little other meaning from it, and said with a wry smile: "Yisheng, I know what you want to say. It's just worrying that if you recover Jin Province in the future and I become the chairman of the military government, I will have some bad thoughts in the future.

Actually, you are really too concerned. This time I am willing to come to Deng Chenggong in person. It is one thing to be the chairman of the military government, but I still want to see the fellow villagers of the Three Jin Dynasties live a good life again. Even if I can’t live a good life, at least let them live a more peaceful life!

I am native to Jinsheng, and I have more friendship with this hometown than any of you. Others say that I, Lao Yan, is a person who likes to dance on eggs, but who knows that if you want to survive in such a chaotic world, you have to find more ways out!

I accepted the failure to recover Jin Province this time. But the bald man stabbed me in the back at this time, and I was unwilling to accept it! Since I was in charge of the Three Jins, he has caused me a lot of trouble. In such a difficult time, he did not help me, but forced me to death. I am really unwilling to give up!

For the future of the people of the Three Jin Dynasty and the brothers who followed me hard, I will also go out to talk to Deng Chenggong this time. As long as he promised to let me rule the Three Jin Dynasty, even if I hand over the military power I have in my hands, I will be willing to say nothing.

My old man is about to be sixty years old. How many years do you think I have to live? I am no longer the ambitious warlord leader back then, but the old man who really wants to do something practical for the elders of my hometown! I owe too much affection to my fellow villagers. If I can't repay this love before I die, I am afraid that I can't close my eyes when I go underground!"

Listening to Yan Laoxi's excited and heavy tone, Fu Zuoyi didn't dare to believe it completely. But he felt that these words still make sense. But for the next talks, he really didn't know whether Deng Chenggong would agree with Yan Laoxi's sincerity? (To be continued.
