Chapter 180: Bring a small stool to eat melons! (First update!
"Damn Sichuan Army." This was the first sentence Yu Xiaoqing said after waking up.

He didn't expect that the Sichuan Army would be so bold as to incorporate his two regiments.

This matter is not over yet!
He planned to report the matter to the military and Shancheng immediately.

As a result, Tang Ji and Zhang Ruzhi walked in.

Seeing the two of them, Yu Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with hatred. If it weren't for them, how could he be like this?
Who knew that the other party was just as resentful as if he hadn't even seen him.

Tang Ji, on the other hand, said with a smile.

"Master, this is great news. This is great news."

"What news?" Yu Xiaoqing asked, suppressing his anger.

Tang Ji didn't care about Yu Xiaoqing's anger at all and continued to speak with a smile.

"The superiors learned that Division Yu had sent troops to attack Nantianmen and successfully captured it. Not only that, they also wiped out a Japanese regiment, so the superiors decided to promote you to deputy commander of the Sixth Army."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing looked at the other party in disbelief.

What is this operation?
Wasn’t Nantianmen captured by the Sichuan Army?
How come he got promoted?

Yu Xiaoqing looked at the two people and asked in confusion.

"why?"

"Master, why are there so many whys? Was it Master Yu who first launched the attack at Nantianmen?"

"Has the Nantianmen been taken? Has a Japanese regiment been wiped out?" Tang Ji still said happily.

"Where are my two regiments?" Yu Xiaoqing asked coldly.

"What two regiments? Didn't they die in the battle at Nantianmen?" Tang Ji said calmly.

"Died in battle? Did I hear it wrong?" Yu Xiaoqing roared in anger.

"Maybe the commander really did hear it wrong. The second lieutenant who reported yesterday is outside. The commander can ask him at any time if he really heard it wrong." Tang Ji said unmoved.

"Uncle Tang, when did you become like this?" Yu Xiaoqing was very puzzled. Why did Uncle Tang, who had been watching him since he was a child, become like this?

As a result, Tang Ji's expression changed.

"Xiao Qing, some issues need to be viewed from a different perspective. Even if you can capture the South Heaven Gate, those two regiments may not bring back many people. Isn't it good to use the two regiments to exchange for the credit for the South Heaven Gate?"

"It won't be long before the promotion order from the higher-ups is delivered to you, and you can get the deputy commander position you want. Why not do it?"

Yu Xiaoqing looked at the other party coldly and asked.

"So what about Master Yu?"

"Master Yu? Of course he exists, but my superiors want me to be the commander of the Second Reserve Division." Tang Ji said with a smile.

When he heard Zhang Ruzhi tell him about this, he agreed without thinking.

The Sichuan Army doesn’t care about the credit of Nantianmen, but they do care.

With this achievement, he, the Deputy Commander of the Tang Division, became the Commander of the Tang Division.

Everyone is happy, so why not do it?

As a result, Yu Xiaoqing was able to become the deputy army commander and achieve a new breakthrough.

The only trouble is to convince Yu Xiaoqing to make trouble.

"Master Tang? From now on, my Master Yu will become Master Tang? Uncle Tang really has a good plan." Yu Xiaoqing said sarcastically.

He didn't expect that the Yu army that he had spent so much effort on would become someone else's army.

"Xiaoqing, don't say that. I'm doing this for the Yu family." Tang Ji spread his hands to show his loyalty.

As a result, Yu Xiaoqing didn't believe it at all, but looked at Zhang Ruzhi beside him.

"Where is Director Zhang? What did you gain?"

"Deputy Station Chief of Kunming Station." Zhang Ruzhi said with a smile.

"In other words, we all got what we wanted, and the only price was the soldiers of the two regiments incorporated into the Sichuan Army?" Yu Xiaoqing said sarcastically.

Tang Ji and Zhang Ruzhi didn't care about this at all, but instead advised again.

"Xiao Qing, accept the reality. Whether you agree or not, Nantianmen was taken down by Master Yu."

"You don't understand what the higher-ups really think about the miscellaneous troops. Why do you think the Fifth Army is stationed in Kunming? Isn't it to guard against the Yunnan Army?"

"Just recognize it. This will be good for everyone. As for the two regiments of soldiers you are worried about, it is easy to raise them again as long as they have guns and food these days."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing knew that even if he disagreed, the credit would ultimately belong to Master Yu.

What's more, if I move up a level, it will be more beneficial to the Yu family.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoqing was silent for a while, then waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Zhang Ruzhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tang Ji.

"Master Tang..."

"Yu Xiaoqing has already agreed, he just doesn't want to see us again." Tang Ji said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi didn't care. He didn't want to see them, so it didn't matter.

Just agree to cooperate.

"Fanle, there's something wrong with you." On the mountain road leading to Heshun Town, Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fanle who was a little absent-minded, and asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm thinking about something." Meng Fanle forced a smile and then said.

"What is there to think about? They are your parents, how can they not recognize you?" Cun Yunsheng teased.

"No, the main reason is that I haven't heard from them in so many years. It's hard to accept the sudden news from them." Meng scratched his head in frustration and continued.

"I was mainly wondering how they had lived these years."

"My father's stubborn temper, you will understand once you see it."

Cun Yunsheng curled his lips secretly and said, your father really has a bad temper.

"So you don't want to see them?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.

"No, the main reason is that I don't know what to say when we meet." Meng Fan hesitated for a moment and said with some concern.

After hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.

At this time, the scout came back with an old man.

"Commander, Heshun Town is ahead. All the Japanese in the town have fled." The scout reported quickly.

Cun Yunsheng was not surprised by this. After all, he had wiped out all the Japanese troops at Nantianmen. The remaining Japanese soldiers would have run away unless they were fools.

"Are you really from the Sichuan Army?" the old man asked excitedly when he heard the familiar voice.

"Yes." Cun Yunsheng nodded and said.

"Hey, you are finally here. The Heshun Town has been destroyed by the Japanese." The old man said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I will make these little devils pay the price." Cun Yunsheng said with a serious expression.

After some inquiries, we learned that the chief of Heshun Town had died a long time ago. The Japanese had fled before the new chief was elected.

This surprised Cun Yunsheng a little. Could it be because Nantianmen was captured in advance that Meng's father did not become the head of the village?

If you put it that way, it's really possible.

After all, the Japanese army did not occupy southwestern Yunnan for too long, and most of the time was spent hollowing out the mountains above Nantianmen, so they were not so concerned about the management of various places.

Later, the 56th Division was severely damaged and the division commander was killed in battle.

The Japanese troops at Nantianmen became even more panicked and were less interested in governing the towns.

"Let's go and meet your parents first." After learning the news about Meng's father from the old man, Cun Yunsheng patted Meng Fanle's shoulder.

Perhaps because of the upcoming meeting, Meng Fanle became even more silent.

When he arrived at Meng's father's house and looked at the large yard and the attic on the second floor, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

The yard is filled with flowers and plants, with a sour atmosphere unique to literati.

I have to say that Mr. Meng really knows how to enjoy himself.

"It seems that your parents are living well." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

Meng Fanle's body was trembling a little, and he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he pushed the door open, walked into the room, and came to the lobby.

As a result, Meng was seen looking at his father and mother in the lobby, and Meng was annoyed and stood there.

When Meng's mother saw that Meng was annoyed, she covered her mouth with her hands. She was extremely excited and unable to speak, but tears were already in her eyes.

"Liao'er, why don't you greet me?" At this time, the voice of Meng's father suddenly sounded.

Meng was annoyed and wanted to turn around and run away for a moment. This old scholar's father was still putting on the airs of a scholar, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Meng was annoyed but did not turn around and leave. In the end, he still followed the rules obediently.

"Dear parents, I greet you."

Cun Yunsheng seemed very calm. After all, it was not the first time he had seen such a scene.

Speaking of it, the Cun family is a family with hundreds of years of history, and they have rules like this.

So he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he brought a small stool and watched the show.

At the same time, I also understand why Meng Fanle would rather join the army than go home.

What era is it now? Why do we still keep the bad habit of paying respects?
But this is someone else's family affair, and he has no right to interrupt, so the best way is to just sit back and watch the show.

"Le'er..." Hearing Meng Fanle's greeting, Meng's mother finally believed that the son she had been waiting for had returned, so she burst into tears, and then she fainted out of excitement.

Cun Yunsheng asked the medical worker who had been waiting on the side to come forward, help Meng's mother up, pinch her Ren Zhong point, and she soon woke up.

"It's okay, he was just too excited and fainted. It's nothing." The nurse gave Meng Fanle a reassuring look.

"What a decent person you are, what a decent person you are."

"You've been fighting and killing in the army for these years, and you don't even have the last bit of dignity left? Do you still have any manners?" Without saying a word, Meng's father scolded Meng Fanle who was kneeling on the ground.

Meng Fanle knelt on the ground without saying a word, just listening quietly to his father's scolding.

Perhaps because he hadn't heard his father's scolding for many years, Meng Fanle seemed very quiet and had no intention of refutation at all.

Cun Yunsheng held his chin and watched the scene in front of him where Meng's father was scolding Meng Fanle.

I have to say, this kind of melon-eating scene is really interesting.

Perhaps out of consideration for other people at home, Father Meng scolded for a while and then stopped.

"Grandpa, I've written so many letters home in order to find you. This time I came to see you to take you over to enjoy life." Seeing that Father Meng was silent, Cun Yunsheng spoke.

Father Meng glanced at Cun Yunsheng, recognized his rank of colonel, and said with some surprise.

"Are you my son's superior?"

"Yes, old man, please come with us. There is no fun staying in Heshun Town. You might as well come with us. This will give Meng Fan a chance to fulfill his filial duty." Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng's father and said with a smile.

"You only have this one son, so stop scolding him. He's grown up, and he should at least have some dignity."

"Hmph..." Father Meng did not refute, and then continued.

"Okay, but I have a request."

"Oh? Do you want to move your books?" Cun Yunsheng knew that Father Meng had collected quite a few books. Many of these books would probably be unique copies or even very valuable if they were kept for a few decades.

He brought a battalion of people this time just for these books.

In addition to one's own safety, the other thing was to find a way to transport all these books away.

"Hey, you knew? Did Le'er tell you?" Father Meng asked puzzledly.

"Yes, he said that the Meng family passed down poetry and books, and the family had a lot of books. Unfortunately, after moving several times, a lot of books were lost. I think these are books passed down from generation to generation, and they can't be lost like this, so this time, I brought more people." Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng's father and said meaningfully.

"I didn't expect you to be such a considerate leader." Father Meng said with some emotion.

"Dad, it's already so late, and you still treat these books like treasures?" Meng Fanle suddenly said angrily.

“You don’t have to take those miscellaneous books, but you must take all the books in the Meng family study. They are rare copies. If they are lost again, the Meng family will be completely gone.” Meng’s father said stubbornly.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle fell silent and did not refute.

Because he knows what his father is like!
If he didn't bring these rare copies, he would probably run back secretly.

He was originally curious about why the regiment commander wanted to bring a battalion of people, but now he understood that it was to move books.

To be honest, Cun Yunsheng really wanted to see what these rare books were.

"Okay, stop arguing. It's just some books. Take them all with you. But forget about the furniture. Each of our people carries a lot of equipment. We are not here to move for you." Cun Yunsheng spoke at the right time and stopped Meng Fan who was about to get furious.

During wartime, these rare books may not be valuable, but in peacetime, they are precious cultural heritage.

Therefore, Cun Yunsheng understood what Father Meng was thinking.

Life can be lost, but these unique books must not be lost again.

"Okay, we don't need the furniture, just take the books." Father Meng also compromised, thinking that the furniture was gone, and the books were enough.

"Okay, I'll have someone pack up." Cun Yunsheng patted the other person's shoulder, then looked at Meng's father.

"Old man, I heard that you studied mechanics abroad when you were young? And you also worked in the Beiyang government?"

Hearing this, Meng's father was shocked, then looked at Meng Fanle, thinking that it was Meng Fanle who said this to Cun Yunsheng.

"Did Le'er tell you that? Yes, I did study mechanics abroad, but unfortunately I found that I couldn't do anything, so I became discouraged and went home to hide in these piles of old papers, specializing in collecting rare books."

Cun Yunsheng nodded. Those who could study abroad in that era should all be government-sponsored students. They had some ability, but it was a pity that they did not live in a good era.

"So it was you who taught Fanla her poor English?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Father Meng nodded.

"Grandpa, I have an idea. I have an orphanage in Myitkyina, and they are in need of a respected teacher. I think you are suitable." After saying this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other person with expectant eyes.
