Chapter 12 Li Yunlong is leaving
"Scholar! I came to see how your potatoes are growing." Li Yunlong's voice was heard before he arrived.
"Salute!" Of course the sentry at the door did not dare to stop Li Yunlong, so the two of them walked in swaggeringly.
To their surprise, when they came in, they did not see Chen Xiao training them in the yard as Niu Dali had said.
Instead, he saw Chen Xiao leading a few soldiers to fertilize the potato seedlings.
Chen Xiao himself didn't know that this potato seed might have been optimized by the system. In just over half a month, it had grown so tall and its leaves had unfolded. Comparing it with the planting technology transmitted by the system he had received, it was more than a month longer than described above.
This gives people the feeling that 90 days may not be needed at all, because the potatoes grow too fast and Chen Xiao did not have time to ask the soldiers to prepare farmyard manure. Even if he was reluctant, he had to take out the bags of fertilizers rewarded by the system.
"Don't spread too much fertilizer, just a small handful for each seedling. Remember! Don't dig the small hole for the fertilizer too close to the roots. This is different from farmyard manure. If you put it too close, it will easily burn the roots.
Dafu, where's the water you carried? It's time to water the plants, but not too much..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Yunlong's voice, and then saw two people walking in.
"Captain Li, Captain Zhang, how come you have time to come here today?" Chen Xiao greeted them.
Li Yunlong glared and said angrily: "Your soldiers beat my soldiers, I am here to punish you. Tell me, what do?"
Chen Xiao was a little confused: "What do you mean my soldiers beat up your soldiers? Are you talking about Niu Dali?
Niu Dali and the others were all soldiers of the New 1st Regiment. When did they become mine?
Besides, you, Li Yunlong, are not the kind of person who protects his calf indiscriminately. Even if you do, isn't Niu Dali your calf?"
As soon as he said this, Liu Qiang stopped what he was doing and stood up and said, "Sir, didn't the commander say that last time? Our squad is your direct guard, not part of the new regiment."
“Hahaha!” Li Yunlong laughed triumphantly: “Brother Xiucai, you also said that I was a protective person. Now your soldiers have beaten my soldiers, you have to give me an explanation!
If it doesn't work, you can buy me a drink and this matter will be over!"
Is Li Yunlong the kind of person who goes to argue with others just because his subordinates can't beat them?
Of course not. He would only train his subordinates to be stronger and then fight back, instead of going to other people's homes like a parent whose child was bullied.
So why is he doing this now ?
In fact, it was very simple. He wanted to keep Chen Xiao. He had invited Chen Xiao to join the Eighth Route Army no less than four times, including the time since Cangyunling.
But every time Chen Xiao refused, but who is Li Yunlong? He has always been the only one who schemes against others, cunning and crafty.
Therefore, he put this class, a reinforced class of 14 elite soldiers, under Chen Xiao's name, hoping to create a fait accompli.
You said you didn't want to join the Eighth Route Army, but you couldn't let such a talented person slip away, so he turned the Eighth Route Army into your subordinates, and then you naturally became a member of the Eighth Route Army.
He was making a fuss here, actually just wanting Chen Xiao to recognize that Liu Qiang's class was his subordinate.
Just like in the TV series, after Political Commissar Zhao Gang rescued the monk, the monk wanted to find the Central Army, but Zhao Gang had an idea and went to fight with the monk, and finally kept the monk.
So, you can say that Li Yunlong, who only studied in a private school for a few years, is not very educated, but you cannot say that he has no scheming. Can he win the battle without scheming?
"Captain Li, if you have something to say, just say it directly!" Chen Xiao did not respond to him. With the system in place, he didn't know what would happen in the future. What if he needed to move around to complete a mission, or got some strange rewards? It would be troublesome to explain the source.
However, if he did not join, there would be no such trouble, so he was not suitable to join the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Li Yunlong had no choice but to say, "I'm leaving! The higher-ups have sent down an order for me to get ready and go to the clothing factory as the director."
Have we finally reached this point?
These days, Chen Xiao has been wondering why it has been so long since they broke out of Cangyun Ridge. It has been more than half a month, but the order to deal with Li Yunlong has not come down yet?
He was still worried whether this was still the world in Bright Sword, but now that he had finally waited for it, he finally felt relieved. He still had the advantage of foresight.
Come to think of it, when watching TV, one shot change may take many days to pass, but now we are not watching a TV series.
Given the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, communications basically rely on running, and it takes time for higher-ups to receive reports and handle them.
Then we had to chase Ding Wei who was going to Yan'an to study. It would take time to get here, and it couldn't be done by just changing the lens.
So more than half a month is a normal amount of time. Later on, you can just make a phone call to the brigade headquarters because the engineers have already laid the telephone lines. What's the connection now?
Thinking about it, Li Yunlong is going to be the director of the clothing factory, and it seems that he will be the commander of the independent regiment soon.
"Given Captain Li's ability, I think the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would be reluctant to let a talent like Captain Li do embroidery. I guess he will be reinstated soon, right?"
Chen Xiao's words made Li Yunlong chuckle twice. He took the bucket next to him and watered the seedlings that Chen Xiao had fertilized, imitating the soldier's watering method. He said:
"When we broke out from the front of Cangyun Ridge, I knew I would be punished. It doesn't matter if I am withdrawn. Since the Long March, I have been promoted and demoted as the regiment commander more than ten times. This is nothing."
“But I also estimated that I would not stay at the clothing factory for long, and the boss would definitely still use me in the end.
I also know that it is basically impossible to return to the old unit after the withdrawal. The most likely possibility is that I will lead a new unit, just like the New 1st Regiment.
However, it will take some time for the new troops to form combat effectiveness. I didn’t have any way to do it before, but now I have you, my scholar brother, right?
Scholar, when we were drinking a few days ago, you mentioned your wish, which was to set up a school and teach something.
Today, I will fill a reinforced platoon for you, and let them be your students and open your small school. But you have to promise me that once the headquarters lets me lead the regiment again, you will hand over a group of combat-ready veterans to me.
"Brother Xiucai, can you help me with this?"
Chen Xiao suddenly realized: "Captain Li is so calculating, he wants to use two meals of wine to exchange me for training backbones and veterans for you for nothing.
I guess, in the entire Eighth Route Army, no one is better at business than you, so you shouldn’t lead troops, you should do business.”
"Hahaha!" Li Yunlong laughed triumphantly. "You're right. I always tell people that fighting a war is like doing business. You can do anything except making a loss."
Suddenly, Li Yunlong noticed that Chen Xiao was holding a handful of white particles in his hand and sprinkling them into the pit.
"What is this?"
