Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Li Yan was a little surprised

Liu Feng is a sensible person, why would he bring outsiders here at this time?

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind and I asked, "Someone is coming home?"

Liu Feng was not surprised at all. With his understanding of Li Yan during this period, it was not surprising that he could guess it.

Nodding his head, he said, "Captain is worthy of being the captain."

“Someone has indeed come to our house.”

"But it's not from Meishan, it's from Maozishan Military Sub-district."

Li Yan was a little confused. His trip was strictly confidential.

So he frowned and asked: "How do you know they are from the military sub-district? How did they find us?"

Liu Feng explained: "The two people who came"

"One of them is Chairman Zhang's bodyguard Huang Hao, whom I have seen several times in Maozi Mountain."

“Maozi Mountain is located in Zhangzhou”

"It was Su Shan who passed the news of our operation to the military sub-district."

"We are in great danger now and ask the military sub-district to help find us."

"The military sub-district took a lot of effort to find our traces in Haicheng County."

"After two days of investigation by the underground organization in Haicheng County, they suspected that we were in Gulangyu Island."

"That's why Chairman Zhang sent Huang Hao to Gulangyu to look for us."

Li Yan nodded. It seemed that his family was worried because he hadn't been home for such a long time.

He quickly said, "Please invite them in."

Soon two people came into Li Yan's room

A young man around 20 years old, with regular features and sharp edges

After entering, he immediately saluted Li Yan who was lying on the hospital bed: "Guardian Zhang of the Minxi Military Sub-district, Huang Hao, reports to the commander."

Li Yan waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, comrades of the military sub-district."

Huang Hao excitedly waved his hands and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard."

"The commander is the person I admire the most. Before I came here, I heard everyone say that the commander led the Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade to kill corrupt officials, save the people, set fire to the airport, and use heavy artillery. He can move freely in and out of Zhangzhou City as if he were in an empty city. He is more powerful than Zhao Yun in ancient times."

Huang Hao asked a little embarrassedly: "Commander, I know some martial arts, can I join the Dragon Blood Special Forces?"

Li Yan chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Don't do that. If Chairman Zhang knew that I was trying to steal his girlfriend, he would definitely punish me."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed

Li Yan also noticed that there was a middle-aged man standing next to him.

He was in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a long green suit, and looked very gentle.

Unlike the soldiers, there is no blood smell

But Li Yan felt that this middle-aged man was shrewd and clever under his gentle and honest appearance.

Li Yan asked Huang Hao, "Who is this gentleman?"

Before Huang Hao could speak

The middle-aged man said kindly: "I don't deserve the title of Mr., my surname is Lu, and my single name is Yun."

"This time I was attacked by the 19th Route Army..."

"click" "click"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, Leopard and his men quickly pulled out their pistols from their waists and pointed them at Huang Hao and the other man.

Huang Hao quickly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everyone misunderstood"

Leopard ignored him and said gloomily, "What are the 19th Route Army doing here?"

Li Yan's heart moved, and he waved his hand: "Leopard, put down your guns!"

Leopard quickly pointed at the middle-aged man and said: "Captain, he is a member of the National Army"

Li Yan smiled and said: "He is different. If he wanted to harm me, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of coming to see me."

"At the same time, the military sub-district will not allow Chairman Zhang's guards to personally escort him."

Huang Hao nodded desperately at this time: "The chief is right, Chairman Zhang has confirmed Mr. Lu's identity."

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been allowed to bring it here.”

Leopard and his men then put down their weapons

Li Yan nodded and continued, "I think Mr. Lu Yun must have something important to discuss with me."

"You all go out first."

Leopard wanted to say something, but he knew that it was difficult to change Li Yan's decision.

After everyone left, only Li Yan and Lu Yun were left in the room.

Li Yan said politely: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Lu. My men are all from the countryside and don't know how to treat guests."

Lu Yun, who had been watching from the sidelines, nodded secretly.

This Li Yan was able to accomplish so many things in such a short period of time, it was definitely not just a matter of courage.

For such a smart person, Lu Yun decided to get straight to the point.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Captain Li, you are too polite. All of your men are extraordinary, and Captain Li is a rare talent."

"This time, I'm here to discuss an alliance with you, commissioned by General Li, General Chen, and General Cai of the 19th Route Army."

Li Yan nodded

In fact, when Lu Yun introduced himself, Li Yan had already guessed the purpose of the 19th Route Army.

The 19th Route Army had a hard time after the Fujian Incident, and now it is being purged.

These people can't sit still.

Li Yan pretended to be confused and asked, "Hasn't the 19th Route Army been disbanded? Even the original 19th Route Army members have been disbanded. Where does the cooperation come from?"

Lu Yun rolled his eyes, smiled and said, "Captain Li only knows one side of the story, not the other."

"This time the 19th Route Army was purged"

"Not only did it fail to destroy the 19th Route Army, but it made it even stronger."

Li Yan asked doubtfully, "What does Mr. Lu mean by this?"

Lu Yun explained: "In the past, Fujian had a large number of small and medium-sized warlords gathered together, but they lacked centripetal force and could never unite as one."

"The KMT's one-size-fits-all approach this time has made these people feel that the rabbit has died and the fox has suffered."

"So these forces gradually united in secret."

"Although the 19th Route Army has been disbanded, those disbanded soldiers have secretly joined the security forces of local forces."

"In other words, the 19th Route Army still exists and is even more powerful."

Li Yan nodded. Although Lu Yun's words were exaggerated,

However, the 19th Route Army has been operating in Fujian for many years, and it still has the power to win over some local forces.

I couldn't help but ask again: "I wonder how we can form an alliance?"

Lu Yun said confidently: "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Your department is now struggling alone in Fujian."

"If your unit can help us capture Yong'an and tie up the national army for a while..."

"Once the 19th Route Army has its own territory, it can expand and rise again in a short period of time."

"When our two forces unite, the Nationalist army will have no chance of gaining a foothold in Fujian."

Li Yan cursed Lu Yun inwardly: "He is indeed an old fox."

Let's not talk about whether the 19th Route Army is as powerful as Lu Yun said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me to contribute manpower and resources to help the 19th Route Army gain territory.

Not mentioning any benefits at all, what a calculation

So Li Yan smiled and politely refused:

"Mr. Lu, our Red Army and the 19th Route Army had some good exchanges and cooperation in the past. As friends, we should help."

"But you also know that after the main force of our Red Army left, we were very poor. If we could take Yong'an, we would have done it long ago."

Lu Yun's mind raced

This Li Yan is not easy to deal with, this is for the benefit

He did not point out that if there is no benefit in cooperation, who would risk their life?

Lu Yun said with a smile: "Captain Li, you are joking."

"But we, the 19th Route Army, will never let our friends suffer losses."

"Li, Chen, and Cai have agreed that after the Nationalist troops leave, they will cede the Longyan and Yongding areas to your army as territory."

"As long as we work together sincerely, the Kuomintang army will never be able to enter Fujian again."

After Lu Yun finished speaking, he looked straight at Li Yan, trying to see his reaction through Li Yan's expression.

But Li Yan's face was as gloomy as water, without any change.

Li Yan knew clearly

If the Kuomintang is a tiger, these local warlords are hungry wolves

They all eat people.

Once the 19th Route Army gained a foothold in Fujian, it would no longer be constrained by the Kuomintang.

By then, the promises we made at this moment will still be flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror.

But we have to cooperate, the national army is powerful

If the Nationalist Army really waited until the 19th Route Army was absorbed, they would go all out to encircle and suppress the Red Army.

By that time, both the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district and the Meishan Base will face increased pressure.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Li Yan said, "We can form an alliance."

This sentence made Lu Yun overjoyed, but before Lu Yun could breathe a sigh of relief,

Li Yan continued: "But there are some problems with your plan."
