Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

After an incense stick of time, there was a creaking sound from the gate of the lower fort.

First came a platoon of soldiers, followed by a short, fat man in a silk suit, followed by three people, who came up quickly with a smile on their faces.

"Brother Zhang Dong, right? Haha, I'm sorry for being slow. Hurry up, let the brothers enter the fort quickly."

Zhang Dong whispered to Li Yan, "This is Huatai."

Then Zhang Dong took two steps forward with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "Captain Hua is too polite to come out to greet you in person at such a late hour. I'm really sorry to bother you, but brother, this is a military order that cannot be disobeyed."

Huatai grabbed Zhang Dong's hand and said warmly, "You're welcome, brother Zhang. It's my honor to have you here."

"Let's hurry into the castle. I've already prepared a banquet. We brothers should have a few more drinks when the time comes."

Huatai then pulled Zhang Dong towards Gutian Town.

Zhang Dongranzi waved his hand and ordered the fake Red Army soldiers: "Enter the fort!"

After a while, we arrived at Huatai's mansion. The main hall banquet was already prepared, with a variety of chicken, duck, fish and meat.

In the mutual courtesy, the host and the guest took their seats.

Huatai sat in the main seat, Zhang Dong sat in the first seat to his left, Li Yan and Song Tao, dressed in lieutenant uniforms, sat next to Zhang Dong in the second and third seats on the left, and to Huatai's right sat the mentor, Tiger, and Black Wolf.

Gao Xuan, as Zhang Dong's guard, stood behind Zhang Dong.

After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, they began to toast each other and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes

Zhang Dong said to Gao Xuan, "Tell the brothers not to drink too much. We have to go back to Yong'an tomorrow."

Huatai quickly said, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing? We've had too much to drink, so we're staying here for two days. Coming to Gutian Town is like coming home, so don't be polite."

Zhang Dong explained: "Brother Hua, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. We have received orders to arrive in Yong'an tomorrow afternoon. I dare not violate military discipline."

Huatai said with a smile: "I thought I was not treating you well enough. Since it is a military order, I won't say anything more."

"Master, Black Wolf, go with Captain Zhang's men and make sure your brothers are well taken care of."

Huatai winked at Master and Black Wolf.

Zhang Dong looked at Gao Xuan and said again: "Go, tell the brothers not to cause trouble for Captain Hua."

"Everyone, go to bed early. We still have important things to do."

Zhang Dong emphasized the important matters. After Gao Xuan and Heilang left, he stood up and raised his glass to Hua Tai. "I'm toasting to Brother Hua. If you need me in the future, just ask. I'll do whatever I can."

Huatai had been waiting for this sentence all night and laughed happily: "Brother Zhang, you are too polite!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Then Huatai clapped his hands.

The lawyer walked up to Huatai with a tray covered with red cloth in his hand.

Huatai said to Zhang Dong, "Brother Zhang and I hit it off right away today. I don't have much to give you, but here are some small gifts. Please accept them, brother Zhang."

Huatai said as he lifted the red cloth on the tray. There were ten large yellow croakers, shining brightly under the light.

Zhang Dong took one look and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Brother Hua, what do you mean?"

The master said at this time: "Don't misunderstand, Captain Zhang. This is a little gift from our regiment commander. I hope Captain Zhang will take good care of me in the future and say a few good words to Commander Liu."

Zhang Dong pretended to refuse, and finally said: "Brother Hua, please rest assured, I will help you tell the master what Brother Hua means."

Zhang Dong said this and gave Li Yan and Song Tao a look.

Li Yan and Song Tao understood, quietly put their hands on their waists, and walked towards Huatai.

While Huatai was not paying attention, Li Yan took out two pistols from his waist and pointed them at Huatai.

Huatai Tiger's advisors were all shocked, but the smile on their faces had not yet completely faded.

Huatai was suddenly confused: "Brother Zhang, what does this mean?"

Zhang Dong didn't say anything. Li Yan smiled and said, "We are the Red Army."

Huatai Tiger's face changed drastically. Tiger wanted to resist, but before he could even touch the gun, Song Tao pointed the gun at his head and disarmed him.

Huatai was indeed a ruthless person, but he calmed down at this moment and threatened: "You are on my territory now. If I shout, you will not be able to escape even if you have wings."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Just shout!"

Huatai shouted loudly: "Come here!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came towards the living room. Huatai wanted to laugh, but when he saw the person coming into the living room, he collapsed on the chair.

It was Gao Xuan who came in with a few soldiers, escorting the heavily tied Black Wolf.

Gao Xuan reported to Li Yan: "Report to the company commander, we have completely cleaned up the Huatai Mansion. Please tell me the next step."

Li Yan said: "Tie them all up, and then make all the militia in Gutian Town surrender."
