1941 1 Month 17 Day.

After a brief rest in Luling Town, the large troops of the Tainan Military Region immediately set off for the north.

Unlike when he came, this time he returned to Pu County.

Marching with the large force were nearly 3000 stubborn army prisoners, as well as a large amount of food and money seized.

When the troops arrived in Pu County, an officer of the New Eighth Army suddenly appeared in front of the team.

"Detachment Captain, Gao Shuxun invited you to a banquet in Pu County, this is an invitation card!" Jing Dagang hurriedly reported.

Zhou Weihan glanced at the invitation, but did not reply immediately.

"Will Gao Shuxun make some kind of mess?"

"Hey, what are you thinking? The relationship between our Eighth Route Army and the recalcitrant army is tense. After the battle between the two sides, Gao Shuxun watched from the sidelines. Now that the situation is stable, can he still take the initiative to find trouble?" Zhou Weihan said so, but he didn't think so. I fully understand why Gao Shuxun is like this.

"In this way, you go back with the troops first, and I will meet him!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Weihan did not bring too many troops with him on this trip, only the monk and Tian Defu accompanied him to the banquet.

New Eighth Army Headquarters.

Gao Shuxun showed great sincerity. He expected Zhou Weihan to come back and arranged for someone to wait outside early in the morning.

"Oh, brother Zhou, I really didn't expect you to come to the banquet in such a busy schedule. Brother, I feel very honored!" Gao Shuxun said enthusiastically.

"Commander Gao kindly invited me, how could I not come!" At this moment, the attitudes of the two sides eased, and Zhou Weihan was no longer as aggressive as before.

"Come, come, take a seat inside!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Gao Shuxun never revealed his purpose, and Zhou Weihan couldn't help but secretly scolded the old fox.

After a while, the banquet for Comrade Adjutant was ready.

"Brother Zhou, I have a cook here who cooks Shandong cuisine. Shandong cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines. You haven't tried it in Tainan before, please!"

"By the way, Lieutenant Li, treat these two little brothers well!" Gao Shuxun pointed at the two monks and said.

"Yes!"

Zhou and Gao went to the side hall and sat down, Zhou Weihan saw it, heh, the row is really not small.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table. Although there are not many dishes, they are all high-quality goods. Zhou Weihan just twitched his index finger just by smelling the aroma.

"Brother Zhou, when the country is in crisis, it's really not good to be extravagant and wasteful. To be honest, when I'm alone, I usually only eat two dishes!"

"That's right, the nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour carp, sea cucumber with scallions, and this mullet egg soup are all classic dishes in Shandong cuisine!" Zhou Weihan pointed out the names of the dishes one by one.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou is an expert. I forgot. With Brother Zhou's family background, I have never tried any cuisine. Come on, move your chopsticks!"

The two didn't drink alcohol, both were soldiers, and they didn't have too many rules.

After some turmoil, Zhou Weihan burped, and then Gao Shuxun motioned for tea.

"Brother Zhou, I have specially invited you here this time. It is indeed important. Sun Liangcheng has electrified and defected to the enemy in Kaifeng!" Gao Shuxun was observing Zhou Weihan's expression while speaking.

"Why, Brother Zhou doesn't seem to be surprised by Sun Liangcheng's matter!"

"When I learned that Sun Liangcheng was defeated by our army, I knew that he would not be able to survive in the national army, and that he would most likely join the little devil, but right now he is a polished commander, how much influence can he have?" After Zhou Weihan heard that Sun Liangcheng took refuge in the little devil, he was still wondering if Gao and Sun co-starred in this play.

"The bare-handed commander is indeed nothing to fear, but Sun Liangcheng represents the national government in Hebei, Shandong and Henan. His defection to the little devil is a huge blow to the government's reputation and the morale of the troops!"

"Also, the Japanese army granted him the title of the Fourth Army of the Puppet Army, and ordered him to recruit troops in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, and to contact the old army. Fortunately, I detained all the officers under Sun in Pu County and did not go south with him, otherwise it would be really troublesome! "Gao Shuxun said.

In Luling Town before, when Dong Jiang's reconnaissance company stopped Sun Liangcheng and his party who were going south, they immediately reported to Zhou Weihan.

At that time, Zhou Weihan had already thought that Sun Liangcheng's trip could be described as a lonely family with no soldiers and no rights.

Even if it was true as he said, this trip was to go to the mountain city to plead guilty, but any senior official of the national government in the mountain city could crush him to death.

But everything is unknown, even if Zhou Weihan is fully sure that Sun will turn to the enemy and become a traitor, but no matter what, it will not be the turn of the Eighth Route Army to do this.

So he ordered to let Sun Liangcheng and his party go.

Originally, after listening to Gao Shuxun's persuasion, Sun Liangcheng sincerely went to the mountain city to clear up the relationship. After all, being a traitor also has capital, right? If you don't have soldiers in your hands, why should the little devil entrust you with important tasks? Sun Liangcheng understands this very clearly.

However, after experiencing the incident of the bandits in Luling Town, he deeply felt that Huluo Pingyang was being bullied by dogs. In addition, Sun Liangcheng felt that his career in the national government was dead and it was difficult to be reused.

He decided to go directly to Kaifeng, contacted the Kaifeng Appeasement Office, and openly surrendered to the enemy.

In fact, Sun Liangcheng was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army after the delivery, with jurisdiction over two armies and five divisions, and later served as the director of the Kaifeng and Northern Jiangsu Appeasement Offices.

It can be said that it has both military power and territory, and the scenery is unparalleled for a while.

As for now, how big a team he can pull up depends on his ability.

"Commander Gao, Sun Liangcheng will definitely contact the old troops and some local powerful factions in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, but what?"

Zhou Weihan's words came to an abrupt end, Gao Shuxun understood that the slightly larger recalcitrant armies in Northwest Shandong, Zhinan, Southwest Shandong and other places were almost wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. It would not be easy for Sun Liangcheng to recruit troops.

"Oh, brother Zhou, I see that you are going back to Tainan?" Gao Shuxun asked tentatively.

Zhou Weihan grinned: "Hey, Commander Gao, you are wrong. We will be neighbors for a long time in the future. In the future, we will inevitably fight side by side!"

"That is, that is!" Gao Shuxun turned pale when he heard that Zhou Weihan did not intend to lead his troops to leave Jiluyu.

But then I thought about it again, although the New Eighth Army was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, in disguise, it was also under the protection of the Eighth Route Army.

Sure enough, changing the way of thinking, the thoughts are much smoother.

"Haha, today's meal is not in vain. I have Brother Zhou's troops near my New Eighth Army, so I am very relieved!"

After the banquet, Gao Shuxun personally sent Zhou Weihan and the three out of their residence.

"Sir, what good food are you eating at the banquet?" the monk asked.

Zhou Weihan looked at the monk's greedy face, and introduced it vividly: "There are eight cold dishes, and at least fifteen or six hot dishes. It's a pity, there are too many dishes, and I didn't remember the names of the dishes. Anyway, the sky is flying Yes, there are those who swim in the sea and those who run on the ground!"

"Aren't so many dishes wasted!" The monk wiped the corner of his mouth after hearing this: "One bite of one dish will fill you up!"

"Monk, what do you eat?"

"Stewed Meat!"

"It's okay, it's good to eat meat!"
