Chapter 105 Surrender

Huo Xiangzhen's decline is obvious, so it is not easy to surrender Ruyi.The revolutionary army had the upper hand and wanted to take Huo Xiangzhen to Nanjing. From the inside and outside meaning of the words, it seemed that they were going to put him under house arrest from now on.

After hearing this, Huo Xiangzhen immediately wanted to fight to the death with the other party, but An Rushan's coffin stopped in his eyes, and he knew that with his current strength, even if he really tried to fight, it would be nothing more than his own death. Break your own net.

An Rushan was bombed to only half of his body, and he still had to hold his breath to wait for himself, telling himself "I won't fight anymore, you have to live".Huo Xiangzhen sat on a big rock, with tears in his eyes, thinking that a person would insist on not dying in order to tell himself the last sentence - there was only half of it left, and all the blood in his body was shed, but he endured not dying.

Li Kechen acted as his plenipotentiary representative, bargaining with the revolutionary army, trying to fight for some freedom and dignity for him.The Zhi-Shandong Allied Army was beaten like a grandson, and the chief of staff was naturally worthless.Li Kechen was very brave and very difficult, running to the camp of the revolutionary army time after time.He still managed to maintain the style of the chief of the general staff of the coalition army, and he felt no better than Huo Xiangzhen, and he was a little scared, fearing that if the two sides disagreed, the revolutionary army would push him out and shoot him.Anyway, he is the person on the wanted list, and it is not wrong to kill him.

The revolutionary army's stance is very tough, not giving in an inch, and there is no need to give in.When the two sides were in a stalemate, Sun Wenxiong's army crossed the Luan River quietly, not knowing whether to abandon Huo Xiangzhen, to resist to the end, or to stand on the mountain.The revolutionary army was confused, Huo Xiangzhen was also confused, and the Northeast Army on the other side of the Luan River was even more confused.At the same time, a secret visitor came from the Zhilu Allied Forces.

The secret visitor was a Japanese, named Qingliu Jiaren, who was originally a director of the North China Trading Company. He once enthusiastically wanted to jointly open a mine with Huo Xiangzhen, but Huo Xiangzhen didn't like dealing with Japanese, which made him receive a lot of cold reception.Now I don't know how he got here, but when he appeared in front of Huo Xiangzhen, he was smiling in a suit and leather shoes, and he didn't look like he was tired from the journey.

He knew that Huo Xiangzhen was desperate now, so he went straight to the point, saying that the Japanese garrison was willing to provide 100 million yuan in military expenses, 800 rifles, and [-] million rounds of ammunition to the Zhilu coalition forces; The young marshal accepted the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces to cross the river and station them.

Huo Xiangzhen's mind has been spinning continuously day and night, and he was already exhausted to the point of numbness. Now that he suddenly heard Qingliu's promise, he was startled at first, and then his mind became quiet and clear in an instant.

Cannibals are short-mouthed and short-handed, not to mention that the other party is Japanese.Lowering his eyes and staring at the ground, Huo Xiangzhen didn't speak for a while.Military expenses, rifles, bullets, territory...all are what he needs most, all are his lifeblood.But cooperating with the Japanese is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.Hit the Chinese with Japanese weapons?He shook his head inwardly to himself.

What he wants is to be famous forever, not to be infamous forever.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jiaren Qingliu, and Huo Xiangzhen's heart suddenly moved - he couldn't let this little Japan go easily, he came at the right time and was of great use!

Huo Xiangzhen did not give Qingliu Jiaren's hot face a cold ass like before.Regarding the topic, he didn't express his opinion, but entertained the other party thoughtfully; at the same time, he spread the news of Jiaren Qingliu's visit, letting the teams on both sides of the Luan River know that the Japanese were after him, Huo Xiangzhen.And once he, Huo Xiangzhen, formed an alliance with the Japanese, the situation in Zhili would not be the same as it is now!

With the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command and the assistance given to him by the Japanese, he will immediately make waves again.At the same time, he gathered his Fourth Army to the front line, and set up a half-truth and half-false ecstasy formation, making people wonder whether he wanted to start a war or continue to negotiate.

The Revolutionary Army and the Zhishan Allied Forces began to test each other, knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.Negotiations were still going on, and Huo Xiangzhen's condition was to keep his own guard regiment, and although the revolutionary army no longer insisted on deporting him to Nanjing, they would never allow him to raise another regiment of troops.The two sides insisted on their own words and could not argue.In the end, Qingliu Jiaren saw that Huo Xiangzhen was insincere, so he left; and the revolutionary army also mobilized troops to meet Huo Xiangzhen's Fourth Army—since both sides have bottom lines, if they really can't reach a consensus, they have to continue fighting .

Talk about fighting or not, talk about it if you don't.The tug-of-war lasted for a week, and finally Li Kechen brought back an ultimatum from the revolutionary army—the new government restricted the Zhilu coalition forces to surrender within three days, allowing Huo Xiangzhen to keep his guards, and all other soldiers were recruited by the revolutionary army.

Huo Xiangzhen knew that this was already the best result he could achieve.

His father left him a province of land and a province of soldiers, but after only ten years in his hands, there was only a guard and an old house left.If you have to do something, you really can't.So the father went well, and the inspiration also went well, at least in their eyes, he was still a young hero.

According to the requirements, the size of the guard must be controlled within 100 people.Huo Xiangzhen picked out a hundred young men, and then went to ask Xue Bing: "What should you do?"

Xue Bing stood in front of him, her thick eyebrows were furrowed, and she didn't say a word for a long time.Huo Xiangzhen stared at him, suddenly suspecting that he hated herself because she failed to keep the Huo family's foundation.

The two stood opposite each other, as if they had nothing to say.Finally, Xue Bing opened her mouth, her voice was very low, but with great strength: "Marshal, let me play by ear!"

Huo Xiangzhen asked him: "Aren't you going back to Beijing with me?"

Xue Bing shook her head: "No rush, I'll wait."

After the words fell, the two of them thought of Sun Wenxiong together with a tacit understanding.Sun Wenxiong is another kind of stubborn, who refuses to obey anyone and is not angry with anyone. Only Huo Xiangzhen can cure him.But now Huo Xiangzhen couldn't control him anymore, he took an army of his and crossed the river on his own initiative.

Let Xiaobing lead his sorrel Arabian horse, Huo Xiangzhen looked up at it.The horse is spiritual, and slowly flapped its long eyelashes. It has a somewhat affectionate look, and it also looks at Huo Xiangzhen.

Huo Xiangzhen thought it was very beautiful, the beauty among horses.Raising his hand and stroking its mane repeatedly, he said to Xue Bing, "I'll give it to you."

Xue Bing also raised her hand and lightly touched a white spot on the horse's forehead: "I'm raised by the commander."

Huo Xiangzhen smiled: "Don't raise it for me, and don't tie it up. Let it run, let it run with its hooves. It is a thousand-mile horse, you have to let it travel thousands of miles."

Finally, he patted the smooth horse's back, Huo Xiangzhen turned around abruptly, and strode towards the barracks.

Huo Xiangzhen asked Lieutenant Li to find a brand new twill military uniform for himself, first washed it with water, and then ironed out the edges and corners with a soldering iron.And while Lieutenant Li was looking for leather shoes for him to shine, Andre shaved him a very energetic little crew cut like he did with all white Russian heads.

The checkpoints of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Army and the Revolutionary Army were fully opened. On the morning of the surrender day, Huo Xiangzhen got up early and took a cold shower thoroughly.Putting on his neat and straight military uniform, he stood still with his arms outstretched, and asked Lieutenant Li to fasten his armed belt for himself.

Putting on the military cap and turning to Andre, Andre held a small glass mirror in both hands, reflecting his face regardless of head and tail.Huo Xiangzhen's face was expressionless, and he leaned slightly to look at the mirror. He straightened his collar badge and straightened his military cap meticulously.

Today's match is his last appearance.I have worn the military uniform for more than ten years, and today I have worn it to the end, and if I want to wear it again, I will not be able to wear it.

After being meticulously dressed, he rode into the revolutionary army's barracks with his guards.Behind the horse team was a carriage, pulling An Rushan's coffin.The coffin was tightly covered by a huge five-color flag, refusing to see the blue sky of the new world.

Now that the two sides have made peace, the hostile atmosphere will naturally dissipate a lot.An officer in the revolutionary army went to meet Huo Xiangzhen and was responsible for escorting him out of the mountain.After going out of the mountain, he probably wouldn't stay there. Huo Xiangzhen knew that the revolutionary army was "willing to grow wings from the slave's ribs" and wished that the Dapeng could just spread its wings and take herself back to Beijing.Once they get home and are separated from the army, they can be completely relieved.

He didn't know who the officer was, but he was very young anyway, with a prepared smile on his face, as if he had decided that Huo Xiangzhen was a cunning assassin, and he was ordered to come and deal with the assassin for three hundred rounds.

Huo Xiangzhen got off the horse in front of him, and reached out to shake his hand.After chatting in a few words, he learned that the other party's surname was Wang, and he was a chief of staff—the chief of staff of which army, he didn't understand, but he was indeed a young and promising chief of staff.Chief of Staff Wang followed him on his horse again, and the revolutionary army surrounded Huo Xiangzhen's guards quietly.A group of people walked down the mountain road slowly, there were soldiers of the Revolutionary Army watching the excitement on the side of the road, a soldier who looked like a half-grown child said to his companions in surprise: "This big man is Huo Xiangzhen!"

Xiao Bing was from somewhere, and he spoke with a slight accent, but everyone around him understood.An adjutant behind Huo Xiangzhen heard him call the commander-in-chief by name, and roared angrily on the spot: "You fucking say it again?"

Xiao Bing was taken aback, Chief of Staff Wang waved his hand, first drove Xiao Bing away, and then smiled at Huo Xiangzhen: "These things are all rude and ignorant. Don't take their words and deeds seriously."

Huo Xiangzhen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. We have fought for so long, and it is normal for soldiers to want to see their opponents."

Chief of Staff Wang smiled: "Yes, Jing is handsome and open-minded."

Huo Xiangzhen asked again: "Who else is there outside the mountain? Are Gu Chengxi and Lian Yi there?"

Chief of Staff Wang replied: "The commander of the company is here."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't want to meet Lian Yi very much, but if he avoided seeing him, he seemed to be afraid of him.He closed his mouth without saying a word, and decided to let nature take its course.

Huo Xiangzhen walked a long way. On the way, he really wanted to turn back and take a look at where he came from, but there was a short group of guards behind him, and he didn't want to meet the adjutants and guards—he had no face to face his subordinates. .

After passing through a gently rolling mountain, the team arrived at a headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.Huo Xiangzhen got off the horse and saw Lian Yi as expected.

The headquarters is a row of neatly arranged large tile-roofed buildings. One of them opened the door. Lian Yi folded his arms around his chest, stepped on the threshold with one foot, and leaned sideways against the door frame.Looking at Huo Xiangzhen playfully, he still smiled flatteredly as usual: "Nephew Jingheng, I didn't expect that we would return to the same camp so soon."

Huo Xiangzhen glanced at him, feeling disgusted in his heart, as if he saw something evil.But he doesn't know how to bicker with each other, especially he can't argue with Lian Yi, so he decided to suppress this breath and let him talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Lian Yi put down his hands and stepped over the threshold, and strolled towards the big carriage at the back of the line: "Is there Xiao An in this coffin?"

Huo Xiangzhen immediately turned around and chased after him with big strides: "Don't move!"

After the words fell, Lian Yi had already put his hands on the coffin lid.He grabbed the five-color flag with his fingers together, and he tore off the five-color flag on the spot and waved it back.At the same time, Huo Xiangzhen drew out a pistol and pointed it at him: "How dare you!"

Almost at the same second, Lian Yi drew his gun and aimed at him.The gun was aimed, but his eyes were still looking at the coffin, with a mocking smile on his face: "Nephew, what dare uncle?"

Chief of Staff Wang ran over in a hurry, raised his hands and pressed down the arms of the two: "No, no, today is a peaceful day, you two should not do this."

Lian Yi raised his head and glanced at Huo Xiangzhen's guards again, the smile on his face deepened.Patting the coffin with one hand, he shook his head and sighed: "An Rushan, An Rushan, you and I have been right for more than ten years, what is the result? The result is that I am still alive and you are dead."

Then he raised his hand lightly and deftly, and pointed at Huo Xiangzhen from the air: "I said you were a Zhao Kuo. An Rushan didn't listen back then, and bragged desperately that you were a general."

Then he laughed loudly, and walked away with his hands behind his back.Chief of Staff Wang knew that Lian Yi rebelled from Huo Xiangzhen's subordinates, and there must be a lot of grievances between the two sides. Unexpectedly, Lian Yi was straightforward and directly humiliated Huo Xiangzhen face to face, so that he didn't even make ends meet. Law fight.

He stared at Huo Xiangzhen carefully, ready to make peace at any time.However, Huo Xiangzhen did not lose his temper.Putting the pistol back into the holster, Huo Xiangzhen stepped around him, bent down and picked up the five-color flag from the grass.

Unfolding the five-color flag and shaking the grass, he returned to the coffin and shook the flag, and re-covered An Rushan's coffin.
