Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Chapter 438

When Zhao Daiwen heard this, his face suddenly became stiff.

For a moment, it was difficult to answer Zeng Jiwen's question.

How could he not know what kind of person Yan Baichuan was?

Even if Zeng Jiwen and the others agree this time, what about next time?

He is already in his seventies.

It is said that life ends at seventy.

If he leaves one day, Yan Laoxi will have friction with the Eighth Route Army again.

In the end, it was China's own national defense that was lost.

When he thought of this, Zhao Daiwen couldn't help but sigh.

If it is really as Zeng Jiwen said, then what is the point of him pleading for Yan Baichuan today.

But after thinking about it, he sighed.

He murmured to himself.

"That's all, that's all~"

Then, he looked up at Zeng Jiwen and others.

“Master Zeng, although you said so.

But Baichuan has made contributions to Jin over the years.

Let this be a lesson.

As for the claim that he colluded with the Japanese again.

This time we will think of a way to make him not dare to do that~

Besides, I don't expect all of you to withdraw from southwestern Shanxi.

If that doesn't work, you can find him a place to stay."

Zeng Jiwen and others looked at each other after hearing this.

There are some surprises.

Before Zhao Daiwen and his team came to Changzhi, they had discussed matters in southwestern Shanxi.

This is not an easy task, although Yan Laoxi fell into trouble this time for colluding with the Japanese.

But they did not get any evidence of Yan Laoxi's fact.

The only contradiction was his action against the Youth Column.

Moreover, the Japanese did not take any action when attacking the Youth Column.

Instead, they directly attacked the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which had no defenses against the Japanese.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, this incident was just a friction between the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army.

If things really end badly, it will also have a bad impact on the Eighth Route Army.

Regarding this issue, both their family and they felt that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army needed to be restricted to prevent Yan Laoxi from doing the same thing again next time when he gets carried away.

However, if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were to be directly stationed in southwestern Shanxi again, it would be too easy for Yan Laoxi.

So, after constant communication and discussion between several people and their families.

The final decision was that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could enter southwestern Shanxi.

But the position must be changed.

At the same time, Zeng Jiwen wanted to prevent the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army from being idle.

I always think about causing trouble for them.

Looking at the map of southwest Shanxi, something came to mind.

So I discussed it with my family.

The matter was then decided.

Zeng Jiwen came back to his senses and organized his words.

Said to Zhao Daiwen.

"Mr. Cilong, even you have stepped in this time.

If we don't give in, I'm afraid others will say behind our backs that we, the Eighth Route Army, are being petty in our pursuit of territory.

We have discussed this before, you go back and tell Commander Yan.

Ask him if he's willing. If not, the negotiation ends here."

When Zhao Daiwen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“It’s okay, it’s okay~

Commander Zeng!

Zhao Daiwen said happily.

"Just tell me, I agree on Baichuan's behalf."

Zeng Jiwen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"Mr. Cilong, I've told you that you should go back and talk to Commander Yan first.

If he agrees.

We can talk about everything.

If he doesn't agree, then he can just stay in Tongguan forever."

After saying that, Zeng Jiwen signaled Zhou Shi beside him to tell him their conditions.

After Zhou Shi told Zhao Daiwen and Zhao Chengshou their conditions.

The two people's expressions immediately turned serious and solemn from the initial joy.

Zhao Chengshou, who was standing by, was so angry at Zeng Jiwen and the others' conditions that his face turned red.

"Impossible~ How is that possible?

I cannot agree to this, absolutely not."

Zhao Chengshou yelled.

After Zhou Xi finished speaking, Zeng Jiwen shook his head when he saw the two people's reactions.

"Commander Zhao, you don't have the final say on this. You need to go back and ask your Commander Yan.

He is the one who can decide whether to agree or not."

Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Zhao Daiwen's face turned bitter.

"Master Zeng, look at you guys...

Isn't that a bit harsh?

According to your conditions.

Then there will be the Jinsui Army in the future~"

Hearing what Zhao Daiwen said, Zeng Jiwen shook his head.

He looked at Zhao Daiwen and said, “Mr. Cilong.

If we don't do this, how can we ensure that he will not create friction with us again next time?

And I think this will be good for Commander Yan, our Eighth Route Army, and the Nationalist government."

After he finished speaking, he remembered something and then spoke to Zhao Daiwen meaningfully.

“We have discussed this condition with Luoyang.

Now the one in Luoyang also agrees."

Zhao Daiwen's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

A sad look on his face.

After sitting in the chair for a long time, Zhao Daiwen sighed.

"Well, this is the best way to show respect to Baichuan.

I, Baichuan, agreed to this."

Zhao Chengshou, who was standing by, was so shocked when he heard what Zhao Daiwen said that he almost jumped up from his chair.

He looked at Zhao Daiwen with surprise.

Mr. Zhao actually agreed.

No, this condition clearly means the destruction of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

For a moment, Zhao Chengshou couldn't accept it.

Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Zhao Daiwen beside him.

"Yinfu, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Zeng Jiwen and others.

His eldest son Zhao Zongfu immediately stepped forward and supported him, then said goodbye to Zeng Jiwen and others tremblingly.

Then prepare to return to Tongguan.

Outside Changzhi City, Zhou Shi and others watched Zhao Daiwen and his group walking away.

Zhou Xi was a little confused.

"Lao Zeng, tell me, will this Yan Laoxi agree to our conditions?"

Zeng Jiwen smiled immediately when he heard this.

Turn around and walk back.

“He has to agree even if he doesn’t want to.

You think I said that last sentence to Zhao Daiwen for nothing?

After saying that, he thought about it.

"I think he should understand what I mean."

Wang Zhuo, who was standing by, also laughed after hearing Zeng Jiwen's words and said, "According to our president's methods, this is such a good opportunity.

How could he refuse.

I just didn't expect our speed to be so fast.

And it's clear that he's worried about the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Zeng Jiwen shook his head after hearing this.

"Although we have no evidence that Yan Laoxi had contact with the Japanese,

But what did he say about the Japanese instructors in his military camp?

After something like this happened, no one would trust him anymore.

After listening to this, Zhou Xi nodded.

“That’s true, but you dare let the Central Army in.

Aren't you afraid that the Central Army will cause friction with us?"

Wang Zhuo was also a little curious when he heard what Zhou Shi said.

Zeng Jiwen smiled strangely when he heard this.
