Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

During this period, the large-scale mobilization of the Eighth Route Army attracted the attention of many forces.

Inside Tianshui City!

Liu Zhihui looked at his adjutant in surprise.

"What are you talking about? The Eight Route Army is mobilizing troops on a large scale? But there is no reason!"

"Where are they going to attack? Yuncheng? Changshan? Or Beiping?"

The adjutant shook his head: "Commander, we don't know about this, but the transfer of the Eight Routes will inevitably lead to major events. Maybe we are going to clean up all the remaining devils in Northwest Shanxi and conquer the lost land in Northwest Shanxi!"

"No!" Liu Zhihui frowned: "Impossible. According to the Eighth Route Army's usual style of doing things, they would only attack by surprise. With such a big mobilization, isn't this clearly telling the devils to take precautions? This is not in line with military warfare. strategy!"

The adjutant nodded: "But other than that, there is no other explanation!"

Liu Zhihui turned around and sat down on his ass: "Since there is no other explanation, then wait for Eight Routes to announce their purpose!"

"We don't want to interfere in this matter, at most we can help them when they are in trouble!"

The adjutant was stunned: "Tuan Zuo, help the Eighth Route? Is this a little inappropriate?"

"Did you forget what Chen Changchang told you when we were transferred to Northwest Shanxi?"

Liu Zhihui waved his hand: "How could I forget, but I also have my principles."

"Unless Eighth Route really broke face with us and fired the first shot, I would not take the initiative, and I hope that cooperation can be maintained more than partisan competition."

"Infighting will only exacerbate the decline of our national strength, and I don't want to see this happen."

The adjutant nodded: "Tuan Zuo is really different from other officers. It seems that Officer Chen Changchang has miscalculated on this point."

"But don't worry, the group, I have the same concept as you, and I will block it for you when the superior sends a telegram to ask about the situation."

At this moment, a soldier hurried in.

"Tuan Zuo, Chief Sun from Luliang is here!"

"Sun Nan? What is he doing here?" Liu Zhihui asked with a frown.

The soldier shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that he brought a lot of food, and he wanted to see you by name."

Liu Zhihui turned his head to look at the adjutant, who nodded after being silent.

Liu Zhihui waved his hand: "Let Commander Sun come in!"

"Yes!" The soldier left in response.

"Tuan Zuo, Rich Lord Yan is notoriously stingy. The food, military pay and weapons that he promised us before have not been delivered yet. This time he said it was a gift. I think it is likely to be these."

"It's just that he sent these things at this pass, which makes people wonder whether there are other purposes."

Liu Zhihui nodded: "No matter what his purpose is, let's see him first. I forgive him for not daring to make any excessive demands!"

As soon as the words were finished, Sun Nan walked in with a smile, and Liu Zhihui immediately put away his serious expression and walked towards Sun Nan with a smile on his face.

"Officer Sun traveled thousands of miles, but Zhihui couldn't meet him from far away, please forgive me, Officer Sun!"

Sun Nan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Head Liu is so polite, it seems a bit impolite for Sun to come uninvited this time, the one who should forgive me is me, Sun Nan!"

The three of them laughed perfunctorily, they were all officials, so they naturally wouldn't take the polite words seriously.

"Mr. Sun, may I ask why you came to Tianshui this time?"

Sun Nan was taken aback, he didn't expect Liu Zhihui to get straight to the point.

"Since Head Liu asked, then I won't hide it!"

"Does Commander Liu know about the large-scale mobilization of the Eighth Route Army?"

Liu Zhihui glanced at the adjutant, and thought to himself: Sure enough, as they guessed, this is what Sun Nan did for himself without invitation!

Liu Zhihui nodded: "I just learned that this matter has nothing to do with us. Why does Chief Sun attach so much importance to this matter?"

Sun Nan sighed: "To tell the truth, Commander Liu, in Northwest Shanxi, the relationship between our Jinsui Army and their Eighth Route Army is definitely not as harmonious as it seems on the surface."

"In fact, if it weren't for the cooperative relationship, I'm afraid the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army would have fought each other."

Liu Zhihui nodded. He already knew the news that the relationship between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army was tense, otherwise Chen Cheng would not have sent him over and started planning for Northwest Shanxi.

However, what Sun Nan said was not the purpose of his visit this time, nor was it Liu Zhihui's concern.

"Mr. Sun, Zhihui has heard about this matter a little bit, but what's the use of Mr. Sun telling me about it?"

"Since it is a period of cooperation, according to Zhihui's understanding of the Eight Routes, they will never break the cooperative relationship unless the Jinsui Army shoots first!"

Sun Nan slapped his thigh: "Commander Liu, what you said is wrong! The reason why Balu said that before is because they don't have the strength. Have you ever seen ants voluntarily declare war on elephants?"

"When the Jinsui Army took control of Northwest Shanxi, there were only tens of thousands of people and thousands of guns on the Eighth Route. Not to mention the Jinsui Army, even the Devils United, they dared not take the initiative to provoke them."

"But now, the scale and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army have far surpassed the Jinsui Army, becoming the largest and most prestigious team in Northwest Shanxi."

"The mobilization of their army this time makes us very uneasy!"

Liu Zhihui leaned back slightly, at this moment he finally understood the purpose of Sun Nan's visit this time.

Most likely it was the transfer of the Eighth Route Army that not only frightened the devils, but also frightened the rich man Yan.

Rich Lord Yan was worried that Balu would break the cooperation and attack him, so he sent Sun Nan to seek help.

Liu Zhihui smiled slightly: "Zhihui roughly already knows the purpose of Chief Sun's visit, but"

"Group seat!"

Just when Liu Zhihui was about to reject Sun Nan's desire to join forces, the adjutant interrupted.

Liu Zhihui understood, and immediately understood that he had something to say to him, so he stood up.

"Sir, please sit down for a while, Zhihui will come as soon as he goes!"

The two soon came to the room near the headquarters.

"Tuan Zuo, did you want to reject Sun Nan's proposal just now?"

Liu Zhihui nodded: "You and I both know that it is impossible for Eighth Route to break the cooperation first, so why did we agree to tie him with them?"

The deputy chief sighed: "Tuan Zuo, this matter cannot be viewed from the perspective of war alone, it has already involved politics."

"Tuan Zuo, don't forget, this Tianshui was lent to us by Rich Lord Yan, and our purpose in Northwest Shanxi is to take root and prepare for the future."

"Before the president sends a large army to Northwest Shanxi, I will maintain a good relationship with the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army to lay the foundation for future affairs."

Liu Zhihui frowned: "But you said before that you don't like to participate in such things?"

The adjutant supported his forehead: "My group seat, whether you like it or not is two different things. We are weak now. Do you plan to be resented by the rich man Yan?"

"Don't forget, we are weak now, and it is not good for us to have a stalemate with the rich man Yan."

"Besides, the purpose of the Eighth Route Army this time is definitely not to attack the Jinsui Army. You first promise that they will do no harm to us, so that you will neither offend the Jinsui Army nor the Eighth Route Army, unless the Eighth Route Army really wants to attack the Jinsui Army. military!"

Liu Zhihui frowned, although this kind of thing went against his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only nod in agreement!
