Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Commander, I think he is here to take Taiyuan!" Fang Zheng said without hesitation.

As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, everyone in the room started talking, and everyone thought that what Fang Zheng said was very likely.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you've made a lot of progress after being the mayor of Qucheng for a few months!"

"Then I will meet this Commander Fu and see if he is the one who asked Lu Su for Jingzhou!"

"But he is Lu Su, and I am not Liu Bei!"

"We fought so hard to conquer Taiyuan, how could we just give it to someone else?"

"Lao Liu! You preside over the meeting here! Fang Zheng, He Shang, you two come with me!"

Lin Tian laughed and agreed with Fang Zheng's words. As soon as the messenger said that, he knew Commander Fu's purpose.

They had only met once, so how could they have any reminiscences about the past?

……

Commander Fu and his adjutant were already waiting in the reception room.

"Oh, I didn't know Commander Fu was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!" Lin Tian bowed and smiled as soon as he entered the door.

"Hey... Commander Lin... Oh no, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin, that's too serious. You are a very busy man, please forgive me for disturbing you!" Commander Fu also stood up and bowed politely.

"Commander Fu is an honored guest, so I welcome you. Please take a seat!"

"Monk! Go make a pot of the finest tea we seized from the Japanese and let Commander Fu have a taste!"

Lin Tian made a gesture for him to sit down, and then said to the monk.

Then the host and the guests took their seats, Fang Zheng stood behind Lin Tian, ​​and the monk made a pot of hot tea and poured it for everyone.

"Commander Fu, please have some tea. Alas, we in the Eighth Route Army are poor and the conditions are difficult. We have nothing to entertain guests, so we have to use the devil's tea. I hope Commander Fu won't mind!" Lin Tian said after taking a sip of tea.

Fang Zheng behind him stared at Commander Fu with a look of anticipation.

After Commander Fu finished his tea, he heard Lin Tian's words again. He felt mixed emotions and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his expression, but it was quickly covered up.

Commander Fu's adjutant showed displeasure. This Lin Tian, ​​just a junior, was so arrogant because of his talent that he even made innuendos. It was really unreasonable.

However, he came here this time because he really wanted to ask Lin Tian for something, so he couldn't say anything.

"Hahaha, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin is joking. Everyone knows that your Division 1 is rich and powerful. If you were poor, wouldn't I become a beggar?"

"Although the devil's tea is good, it is not as good as Chinese tea. It's just the relationship between master and apprentice!"

"If Deputy Chief of Staff Lin likes to drink tea, I have some excellent Wuyishan tea. I hope Deputy Chief of Staff Lin will not think it is too little!"

Commander Fu laughed and said.

From what Lin Tian said just now, it was obvious that he had guessed the purpose of their trip.

This is a hint to him.

Commander Fu didn't think that Lin Tian's emphasis on reminding these devils about tea was unintentional.

It is clearly saying that if Taiyuan is lost from the Jinsui Army, it will no longer belong to the Jinsui Army.

Today, Lin Tian occupied Taiyuan, but he took it from the Japanese instead of seizing it from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

This is to tell Commander Fu that Taiyuan can no longer be returned to them like Yi County, and to let the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army not get involved in Taiyuan.

"Commander Fu, I heard that this time you personally led 100,000 Shanxi-Suiyuan troops to stop the Japanese from invading Taiyuan. You didn't call me here just to have tea and chat, did you?" Lin Tian didn't want to waste time. This war was a great opportunity. If he could wipe out the 100,000-strong North China Front Army in one fell swoop, the weapons rewarded by the system could at least equip half of the Eighth Route Army. Instead of chatting, he might as well go back and discuss with Liu Wu and the others what to do.

"Haha, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin is a quick-witted person. Well, I'll speak frankly too!"

"This time... I was acting in the name of the commander-in-chief and shamelessly asked Deputy Chief of Staff Lin for Taiyuan..."

"Deputy Chief of Staff Lin, don't worry. Our commander-in-chief is willing to pay the same price in exchange, just like Yi County."

"Haha, didn't we have a pleasant cooperation in Yi County..."

Commander Fu saw the impatient expression on Lin Tian's face and quickly said that although he knew that asking for Taiyuan was as difficult as climbing to the sky, the commander-in-chief had spoken and he had to come.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was willing to spend a lot of money for Taiyuan this time, otherwise he would not have the confidence to come to Lin Tian.

Commander Fu knew that the weapons, equipment, food and medicines that Lin Tian asked for were not for him, but for other units of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, although Commander Fu knew that Lin Tian was unlikely to return Taiyuan to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, he still had great confidence because of this relationship. After all, what the commander-in-chief brought out this time was more than ten times stronger than what he brought out in Yi County.

The Eighth Route Army has always been famous for its poverty. I believe that Lin Tian will definitely trade with him for the sake of friendly forces.

"Commander Fu is such a joke. Taiyuan is of vital importance to the overall situation. It is a strategic location for the Eighth Route Army to launch a counterattack against the Japanese. How can I easily hand it over to others?"

"If your commander-in-chief said that Taiyuan belonged to him, he could have sent troops to attack. Why didn't he say a word when the Japanese occupied it? Now that it has only been in my hands for a few days, the commander-in-chief is anxious to ask for it back?"

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at Commander Fu and said.

Commander Fu felt like he was falling into an icy cave when Lin Tian stared at him. It seemed that he had underestimated the young man in front of him.

"Hmph! Commander Lin! I advise you not to be so presumptuous. Our commander-in-chief has his own considerations regarding Taiyuan. You, the Eighth Route Army, don't need to worry about it!"

"The commander-in-chief sent our Commander Fu to find you this time with great sincerity, but you are here making excuses and even speaking rudely to our commander-in-chief!"

Commander Fu was about to speak, but before he could get his words out, the adjutant next to him spoke first.

The adjutant looked indignant and emphasized Lin's title as Commander, instead of calling Lin Tian as Deputy Chief of Staff as Commander Fu did.

The commander's rank can be high or low, some are even lower than his adjutant, and they are all miscellaneous titles.

But the deputy chief of staff is different. As the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, Lin Tian is only slightly lower than Commander Fu in rank, but he is not someone that Lin Tian, ​​as an adjutant, can challenge.

Before the adjutant finished speaking, Lin Tian felt delighted. Someone really handed him a pillow just when he was dozing off.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Commander Fu is an old acquaintance of mine, and he is very humble. What I said just now was just to provoke Commander Fu and make him lose his temper, so that I would have a reason.

Unexpectedly, Commander Fu is so cunning, but his adjutant is such a fool.

Although Lin Tian was happy in his heart, his expression was extremely gloomy and he had to put on a full show.

"How dare you! Hu Yan! You have no right to speak here! Why don't you apologize to Deputy Chief of Staff Lin!"

Commander Fu cursed his teammates in his heart. This Hu Yan was talking nonsense. What's wrong with being humiliated when asking others to do things for you? There is no way things can turn around now!
