The defeat of Yanchi County in the First World War made Yang Wei realize the cruelty of the war, and at the same time he paid an irreparable price. While Yang Wei lost a regiment and an artillery battalion, Ma Hongkui also realized that the letter of appointment was a way to turn the tiger away from the mountain , after defeating Yang Wei, he immediately turned around and returned to Ningxia.

The plan failed, the actual development was not as good as Yang Wei imagined, and Yang Wei regretted the loss caused by underestimating the enemy, so he immediately ordered the troops to station temporarily, and dispatched reinforcements at the same time, the whole army entered into intensive preparations.

Yang Wei's troops withdrew quite a bit, and temporarily stationed in Minzhong County, where there are relatively few Hui people. After calming down, Yang Wei immediately entered into the intensive preparations for the army, and sent people to negotiate with the gentry and merchants about the purchase of grain and grass.

Where there are ethnic differences, religious issues will inevitably arise. After Yang Wei's troops entered, before Yang Wei sent people to negotiate, the local merchants came to their door and specially hosted a banquet for Yang Wei. The place was chosen in Minzhong County In the best restaurant.

Although it is a remote place in the northwest, the dishes on the table are all kinds of dishes. After Yang Wei took his seat, he looked at the people present. He thought they were all local wealthy gentry, and they looked quite refined. After chatting warmly with Yang Wei for a while, the leader, an old man with a gray beard, straight to the point and straight to the point.Blood quenching mountains and rivers 278

These representatives of the chamber of commerce specially invited Yang Wei to a banquet, not for the purchase of grain and grass, but to ask Yang Wei how he planned to expel the local Hui people.Although Hui and Han people get along in a harmonious way in Minzhong County, but when it comes to specific interests, the inherent inferiority of Chinese people will jump to the surface. In the view of these Han merchants, if they can Hui people are squeezed out from the local market, and this exclusive piece of fat is enough for them to eat in several lifetimes.

The representatives of the chamber of commerce spoke in an exaggerated manner. Based on the characteristics of merchants, they did not forget to boast about their own strength, and vowed that as long as Yang Wei is willing to help them drive out the local Hui people, they will enjoy the benefits in the future. exhausted.

However, when the meal was about to finish, Yang Wei who was sitting across from him remained unmoved.

Yang Wei would definitely not do such a thing to expel the Hui people. Although other ethnic groups have a small population, they all have the right to choose their own residence. And what is the difference from other warlords who do all kinds of evil?

Seeing Yang Wei's silence, a younger businessman couldn't hold back his anger, and said in a strange tone, "Mr. Yang must be afraid of the forces of the Hui people, right? That's right, although this place is not within the sphere of influence of the Ma family army, the local The Hui people are also tough and ferocious, isn’t it all about relying on the Ma’s army to show off their power? If Commander Yang has any scruples because of this, we will not force others to do anything.”

The young merchant was about to leave after saying that, but Tieniu stopped him head-on, forced him into the seat, and said in a low and muffled voice: "Isn't the commander afraid of the Ma family army? You don’t want to hurt innocent people, don’t you understand the truth?”

The merchant was dissatisfied, but because of Tieniu's body, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he couldn't help but snorted ironically, and said with a smile: "Is that true? I don't know who was defeated in Yanchi County a few days ago. who?"

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Yang Wei immediately changed his expression. The brutality of the battlefield, the tragic deaths of soldiers, and the red land all flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern. The top-heavy Yang Wei supported the table and barely stood He got up, staggered and walked towards the door. He could only hear the sound of gunfire exploding in the sky, and he couldn't hear the merchant's words to persuade him to stay. He stumbled and left the restaurant in a daze.

Walking on the streets of Minzhong County, Yang Wei was full of worries. Although he could not afford to be defeated, Yang Wei couldn't pay such a tragic price again.To defeat Ma Jiajun, one must have a seamless and perfect strategy, which made Yang Wei have a headache for his own wisdom for the first time.

Tieniu didn't dare to chase too closely. During this period of time, Yang Wei's mental state has not been very good, and he was stimulated by words during the banquet. It is not a bad thing to give him some time and space to calm down.However, when Tie Niu followed him not too far away, he saw a woman rushing towards him in a hurry. When Tie Niu wanted to step forward and pull Yang Wei to hide, it was too late, so he saw the woman talking with her impartially. Yang Wei bumped into each other.

Yang Wei was knocked to the ground by the woman, looking at the petite figure in her arms, Yang Wei frowned slightly displeased, and after Tieniu picked her up, Yang Wei patted the dust on his body and stood up slowly.

The woman was in her youthful age, her permed curly hair wrapped her small face, and her delicate appearance was rare among Northwest women, but her brows and eyes were full of panic, as if she had been frightened. After getting up in his arms, he kept looking around behind him.

Yang Wei followed her line of sight, and saw a few burly men rushing out in the alley not far behind the woman. Looking at the nervous and fearful expression on the woman's face, Yang Wei immediately understood What, he waved to Tieniu, and took the woman into a rickshaw.

The woman sitting in the car looked behind in shock, until Tie Niu knocked all the strong men to the ground, the woman finally felt relieved, patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief: "It's too dangerous, too dangerous!" Yes, it really scared the hell out of me."

Yang Wei has long heard that the women in the Northwest are more bold and unrestrained, and today he saw that the reputation was well-deserved. In this small rickshaw, the woman seemed not aware of her existence, but just fiddled with her fingers thoughtfully. His head seemed to be calculating something. After a long time, a smile finally appeared on his face. His mischievous and petite appearance was a bit naive, and Yang Wei couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth slightly. The lingering haze for many days seemed to be caused by The little girl's farce subsided a little bit, and she couldn't help stretching.

It was Yang Wei's action that made the woman scream in fright. Yang Weidun felt embarrassed. He was a living person after all. Could it be that she only realized his existence after sitting beside her for so long?

Looking at the woman's shocked expression, Yang Wei cleared his throat and said, "Someone chased you on the road just now, so I took you into the car."

The woman suddenly realized and nodded, as if suffering from amnesia, she seemed to remember what happened just after hearing what Yang Wei said. After tilting her head and looking at Yang Wei, she was suddenly surprised as if she had discovered a new world, and couldn't help it. He covered his mouth and screamed in a low voice: "You are Han Chinese!"

Yang Wei wanted to cover his eardrums, frowned and nodded slightly, before he could speak, the woman put her arms around his arm, looked at him expectantly with wide eyes and said: "Will you marry me! " Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 278
