Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 868 If you win, you will come back against the wind; if you lose, you will be done!
A few days later, Du Fei went to work normally in the morning.

In the afternoon, I made an appointment with Li Yuanchao to meet in a yard near Beihai Park.

The courtyard is in the alley outside the west gate of the park.

It is a fairly regular courtyard with three entrances.

There is an inverted seat in the front, and a two-story rear cover room in the back.

The courtyard in the middle is larger than ordinary courtyard houses, covering an area of ​​more than an acre and a half.

The courtyard is not a large courtyard. When Du Fei came, the black lacquered gate was closed tightly.

Go up and tap the knocker twice.

Hearing Li Yuanchao's voice from inside, he asked "who"?
Du Fei shouted: "Yi Chao, it's me~"

The door followed.

Li Yuanchao came out to greet him, and said with a smile: "Brother Du, you are here, I'll wait for you in the concierge."

Du Fei pushed the cart and walked in. I haven't seen him for several months.

I feel that Li Yuanchao has changed a lot since last time.

At least he didn't have such a boring energy when talking to Du Fei before.

After passing through the second door, the two entered the upper room.

It was obvious that irrelevant people were sent away in advance.

There was no one else in the courtyard.

Into the house, the kettle sat on the stove.

Li Yuanchao smiled and said, "Brother Du, sit down first, and I'll make two cups of tea."

Du Fei responded, found a place to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yanchao, you are serious, what good tea are you preparing today?"

Li Yuanchao came over with the kettle: "I'm letting you talk! I brought back from Yun-n, the best Pu'er tea."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of black tea cake, and carefully pried off a few pieces of tea leaves from it with a small awl.

Put it in a pot and rinse it with freshly boiled hot water.

The first water must not be taken.

Li Yuanchao put the kettle aside and said with a smile, "Wait a while and let the tea boil."

Du Fei nodded, and looked at Li Yuanchao again, his skin was darker than the last time we met.

Even though he restrained himself as much as possible, he still couldn't hide the toughness of the mountain king.

The two chatted a few words.

After pouring out the first brewed tea, Li Yuanchao poured the second cup of water.

Du Fei took a sip of the tea and asked, "Did you meet Lin Tiansheng the day before yesterday?"

Li Yuanchao nodded, and said with emotion: "It's only been more than three months, and returning to the capital actually feels like things are different."

Du Fei said with a smile: "Things are people and things can't be said. I think you are afraid of 'a day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world'."

This sentence touched Li Yuanchao's mind.

He sighed: "Yes! One day in the mountains, the world has been thousands of years! Du Ge, you should have never stayed in the deep mountains and old forests. That day, you looked up to the sky, surrounded by mountains... every day passed in the blink of an eye. , if it wasn't for the calendar card turning over every day, I wouldn't feel anything, a month would have passed."

Du Fei didn't go along with him, but instead asked, "Do you regret it?"

With firm eyes, Li Yuanchao shook his head and said, "No, this is the path I chose, and I have to wade through it even if I scramble for the ground."

Du Fei knew that Li Yuanchao was a character, and once he made up his mind, he would not easily admit defeat.

Taking another sip of tea, he asked, "Then come back this time..."

Speaking of this, Du Fei had an idea and looked at Li Yuanchao who was sitting opposite: "Are you ready? Are you going to try your hand at it?"

Li Yuanchao smiled wryly and said: "Brother Du, how can you be as bold as you say. They were brought over from Xiangjiang at the beginning, and after recruiting soldiers and horses, there are a total of more than 2000 people. People eat horses and chew, and they can't stand it anymore."

Du Fei was not too surprised.

In fact, when he asked Li Yuanchao to go solo, he had already expected the current situation.

From the second half of last year, at most until the beginning of this year, Li Yuanchao had to take action.

At least a piece of territory must be laid down to support his group of people.

Obviously, Li Yuanchao also understood this truth.

Coming back this time, I am making final preparations, hoping to get more support from the capital.

Be sure to hit the ground running and get off to a good start.

Regarding these, Du Fei is very self-aware, not to mention those experienced veterans, even Lin Tiansheng grew up under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Including Li Yuanchao, they are all serious generals.

Du Fei didn't come up with an idea either.

And when Li Yuanchao came back this time, he had two purposes for meeting Du Fei.

First, he decided to go solo because of Du Fei's advice. In a sense, Du Fei is his spiritual mentor.

Before the big battle, meeting Du Fei will make him calmer and firmer.

The second is a more practical question, and he wants to ask Du Fei for his opinion.

The two drank tea while Du Fei listened to Li Yuanchao's narration.

At the end Li Yuanchao asked: "Brother Du, what do you think about this matter?"

Du Fei frowned, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea that no longer burned his mouth, and asked, "Have you told Uncle Li and Lin Tiansheng about this matter~ What do they say?"

Li Yuanchao said: "My dad said, this is my business, let me make up my own mind. He also said... If you can't figure this out, you might as well not go, just go home."

Du Fei frowned, thinking that the Li family had really let Li Yuanchao go.

Either it has been tempered into steel, or it has been crippled by practice.

Then he asked, "Where is Lin Tiansheng? What did he say?"

Li Yuanchao said: "Brother Tiansheng told me not to be greedy, I simply can't eat those people now."

It turned out that just before Li Yuanchao came back from single g, he met someone.

This person represents the 'Li Mi Troop' wishing to surrender to him.

The so-called Li Mi's troops are actually the remnants of the unit that retreated to the single g.

In the past five or so years, he has repeatedly defeated the encirclement and suppression of single g.

But later, due to external pressure, most of the troops were withdrawn.

Up to now, those who are still in single g are out-and-out abandoned children.

Du Fei did not expect that these people's noses were so sharp that they directly approached Li Yuanchao.

Du Fei asked, "How many of them are there?"

Li Yuanchao said: "According to them, there are 3000 elites who can fight, and there are more than 2000 family members."

Du Fei curled his lips: "3000 people? There are really so many, they won't look for you. I guess 1000 people are enough."

Li Yuanchao nodded: "Brother Tiansheng also meant the same thing."

Du Fei continued: "However, even if there are 1000 people, these veterans are not easy to deal with, and they are easy to spoil a pot of porridge like fly droppings."

Li Yuanchao frowned and said, "Brother Du, do you think you should refuse?"

Du Fei didn't express his opinion, but asked again: "By the way, what request do they have? Did they say they want to come back?"

Li Yuanchao said: "No, they proposed that they hope to join our command, and then they need weapons and supplies."

Du Fei smiled: "It's a beautiful idea, and you want to exchange for real benefits in a worthless name."

Li Yuanchao added: "They are willing to hand over the territory."

Du Fei's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that this was the key to Li Yuanchao's temptation.

Du Fei said, "Aid Korea, the territory is certainly good, but you didn't take it down by yourself. Are you sure you can hold it?"

Li Yuanchao fell silent.

Du Fei thought for a moment, then changed the topic again: "But it's not like these people can't be used, do they have money?"

Li Yuanchao was taken aback for a moment, a little unable to keep up with Du Fei's jumping thinking.

Nodded: "There should be money. When the man came, he said euphemistically that he could use the money to buy some food and weapons."

Du Fei smiled: "Since you have money, it's easy to handle. Whatever they want, just sell them."

Li Yuanchao reacted very quickly, and after a little thought, he understood the key point: "Brother Du, you mean, let them serve as our forwards, so as to drive away tigers and wolfs?"

"It may not be possible to drive tigers and devour wolves." Du Fei pondered: "But if I'm not wrong, they need supplies in such a hurry, they should be beaten enough, right?"

Li Yuanchao said: "That's not true. Before I came back, I still had some advantages. The combat power of the single g side... In your words, they are all fighting scum."

Du Fei smiled, then asked again: "By the way, how many people are there on your side now?"

Without thinking about it, Li Yuanchao replied, "A total of 770 people."

Du Fei let out a "huh": "3000 people are small!"

There were more people than Du Fei expected.

According to Du Fei's calculation, Li Yuanchao brought out from Xiangjiang, plus the manpower recruited from all over the country, there will be more than 2000 people in the end.

Most of the extra 400 people were recruited by the Li family from various places and used as seeds to supplement them.

With the help of these veterans, recruits will soon be able to form combat effectiveness.

It seems that Li's father said he was laissez-faire, but he helped a lot in private...

I chatted with Li Yuanchao here for more than an hour.

The two only drank tea and did not drink alcohol.

Before leaving, Du Fei put his hand into his pocket.

With a thought, he took out a restored antique pocket watch from his portable space.

The cover is embossed with an eagle.

Handed it to Li Yuanchao and said: "Yanchao, I don't know when we will see you again this time. I wish you a victory and a flying eagle."

Li Yuanchao took the pocket watch and shook hands with Du Fei solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Du, I also have a gift for you."

As he spoke, he picked up a small wooden box from the small coffee table next to him.

"Brother Du, I didn't make it in time for you to marry Sister Ting. It is my heart to give this pair of bracelets to you."

Du Fei took the box without opening it.

Unlike later generations, influenced by the West, people are used to seeing gifts face to face.

Including when Li Yuanchao received Du Fei's pocket watch just now, he didn't open the watch cover to play with it.

After shaking hands again, Li Yuanchao sent Du Fei out of the courtyard.

He kept watching him ride his bicycle out of the alley before turning back.

It was still in the room where they drank tea just now.

When Li Yuanchao came back, there was already one more person in the room.

Self-servingly scalded the tea set they used just now with boiling water, and then re-brewed new tea.

As soon as Li Yuanchao came in, the man poured tea and asked, "Sent away?"

Li Yuanchao said "Yes", sat down and took out the pocket watch Du Fei gave just now.

With a "click", the watch cover was pushed open, and inside was a pure gold dial with a swastika mark embedded at the twelve o'clock position.

The man glanced at it: "He gave it to you just now?"

Li Yuanchao nodded, closed the cover of his watch and put it in his pocket, took a sip of the freshly poured hot tea: "Brother Hu, as you guessed, they have similar opinions."

It was none other than Hu Lin who appeared here.

At this time, Hu Lin's hair was combed meticulously, and the beard on his face was also clean-shaven.

But the whole person has a haggard feeling that cannot be concealed.

Although he was in this courtyard just now, he did not overhear the conversation between Du Fei and Li Yuanchao.

After hearing Li Yuanchao's words, he couldn't help sighing: "Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng are rare talents in your generation, and it's not surprising that they see the same thing."

Li Yuanchao said: "Du Fei also gave me a suggestion, let us use Li Mi's remnants and provide them with weapons..."

Hu Lin sucked his teeth and praised: "What a plan to drive away tigers and wolves! Not only will it open up space, but it can also increase income, and by the way, choke off the logistics lifeline of Li Mi's troops. We can, behind the scenes, weaken the enemy in the name of destroying the remaining enemies." Single-g hostility..."

Hurin "Balabara" said a lot.

If Du Fei was here, he would be surprised.

I just say whatever I want, how can I be so thoughtful, let alone have so much deep meaning!

Li Yuanchao became more and more frightened as he listened beside him.

"It turns out that Du Ge still has so many considerations, but I only comprehend less than [-]% of them. Is this the gap?"

Unknowingly, Du Fei's image of "mentor and wise man" has become more solid.

Wait for Hu Lin to finish speaking.

Li Yuanchao gathered his thoughts back, and asked again: "Brother Hu, have you really made up your mind and want to go with me?"

Hu Lin pushed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Think about it! Sir, if you are not alive, you will be cooked by Jiuding."

Li Yuanchao frowned and said: "Brother Hu, that's not the case. Your affairs will be dormant for at most three to five years, so why bother breaking the boat with me? Besides, you come with me, does Sister Hongying know?"

Although Li Zhiming's incident last time did not directly implicate Hu Lin.

But what's going on, some people know it well.

As the person involved, Hu Lin cannot be safe and sound.

It's just that Li Zhiming was beaten to death with a stick and thrown directly to the forest farm in the ice and snow.

Hu Lin boiled the toad in warm water and held him firmly in place.

Li Yuanchao said that in three to five years, in fact, Hu Lin knew better than anyone else that he would not even think about moving his home in the next ten years.

As for ten years later...he didn't dare to think about it.

Li Yuanchao is the only chance he can see to make a comeback.

Speaking of which, Hu Lin can really hold back his face.

If the matter between him and Li Zhiming had worked out, the biggest victim would be Li Yuanchao.

Now that Hu Lin came to find Li Yuanchao, apart from his courage, he could also see his determination.

Li Yuanchao showed the bearing of a leader.

Not only accepted Hu Lin, but also cited him as a confidant and think tank.

This moved Hu Lin, but he also sighed in his heart that he really underestimated Li Yuanchao at the beginning.

At this time, when Zhang Hongying was mentioned, Hu Lin's expression was a little unnatural.

Of course Zhang Hongying didn't want him to take the risk of going deep into the mountains and old forests.

Persuaded him more than once, even threatened to divorce.

But Hu Lin is more clear, as the saying goes, there is no filial son before the bed for a long time.

Let alone couples.

Although Zhang Hongying has no other thoughts now, what about the future?
Three years, five years...eight years and ten years later!

He could only stand still and waste away.

With Zhang Hongying's background and ability, she will definitely go higher and higher in the future.

At that time, how will their husband and wife get along?

Do you really want to be the husband of the house, the son-in-law who cuts through the door!

Hu Lin is not reconciled, let alone allow himself to live like that.

He must seize the opportunity to fight.

If you win, you will come back against the wind.

If you lose, it's over!
