Chapter 84 Section 4

Who should I choose?A casual remark by Xu Yuan gave Mao Renfeng an idea.Xu Yuanju said that He Shaozhou had no intention of looking forward to the post of chairman of Guizhou Province. He felt that he could not compete with Gu Zhenglun. Zhou Yanghao added that Liu Bolong, commander of the 89th Army, really wanted to squeeze Gu Zhenglun away and dreamed of being the chairman of Guizhou Province.It is said that he has been dissatisfied with Gu Zhenglun for a long time, and often thinks that he has military power in his hands, and does not take Gu Zhenglun seriously. When Mao Renfengjing said this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Sanction on Lu Tao, we don't bother us to do it. Didn't Liu Bolong want to squeeze Gu Zhenglun to become the chairman of Guizhou Province? Give him this Eat sweets. Let him kill Lu Tao, but make it clear that Lu Tao is a key criminal personally named by the committee, as long as he completes the task, we will definitely recommend him to be the chairman of Guizhou Province."

"That's right!" Zhou Yanghao's pale face suddenly flushed, he slapped his thigh, and sighed, "There is someone in Liu Bolong who has a gun, and he always does things straightforwardly. He doesn't care about affection or conscience. Let him do it." , more convenient than us. As long as you agree to recommend him to be the chairman of Guizhou Province, if you make him jump off a cliff, murder and set fire, he will do it." Immediately, Zhou Yanghao volunteered and contacted Liu Bolong through the inside line of the military command.This "Butcher Liu", who dreamed of being the chairman of Guizhou Province, agreed without blinking an eye.He said brazenly: "What's so difficult about this? Old man Lu Tao, I, Mr. Liu, have long since disliked it. I usually put on a stinking air of having read sage books, and pretend to be the chief of the Guizhou Army, but it's not bullshit. Killing him is as easy as crushing an ant."

Mr. Lu Tao was completely unaware of this.He saw that Gu Zhenglun's attitude was ambiguous, and He Shaozhou was hypocritical.In desperation, he disregarded any taboos, contacted other high-level figures in Guizhou, and worked through the work of some division and regiment leaders of the 89th Army, and tried his best to promote Gu Zhenglun to follow the trend in Guizhou and take the initiative to electrify the uprising. For this reason, Gu Zhenglun once asked someone to send a message to him, to make a long-term plan, and not to be too ostentatious.Lu Tao replied boldly: "It is related to the well-being of the people of Guizhou Province, even if their bodies are broken."

He may not have expected that the ferocious god of death is approaching him step by step. Eighty-ninth Army Headquarters.At night, Liu Bolong recruited several confidants and began to arrange an assassination plan.He put on a face and said: "A loyal minister is known in a tough country, and a loyal minister is recognized in a country's crisis. As soldiers, it is our bounden duty to obey orders. The chairman has personally ordered me to immediately sanction the redist Lu Tao." Several confidantes were taken aback when they first heard it. Everyone knew Lu Tao's background, but they heard that it was an explicit order from Chiang Kai-shek, so they stopped talking.

Liu Bolong said murderously: "Don't be afraid, we are the executive chairman's decree. With Shang Fang's sword in hand, not to mention Gu Huzi (Zheng Lun), even He Yingqin would not dare to go up the mountain—heh heh half a sentence. , This is a great crime, and the king of heaven can't save me. I also heard that he went to Anshun and Pu'an, and found some members of our 89th Army, trying to pull the team out and surrender to the Communist Party as a meeting ceremony. This little Sier, I actually came up with Lao Tzu's idea. The army was overwhelmed by him, so we still have to eat?"

His chief of staff, Xu Liangxin, came up with an idea. Didn't Lu Tao always encourage our 89th Army to revolt?We pretended to agree to him, and then came to invite you into the urn, hold a banquet, and invite him to the banquet.If Lu Tao can't ask for it, he will definitely come here happily, and then he can punish him... Liu Bolong agreed with his proposition. In the morning of the next day, Lu Tao received an invitation card written by Liu Bolong in his mansion behind Jiaxiu Tower, inviting the old man to the night banquet in Qilin Cave.It is said that there are all the main officials of the Eighty-ninth Army during the banquet, and Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, must honor the trip and guide the Eighty-ninth Army to seek a livelihood and a way out.

After receiving the invitation, Lu Tao readily agreed to attend the appointment.Fearing that there might be fraud, the family advised him not to go to the banquet in order to avoid any accidents.Because of Liu Bolong's misdeeds in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, he has long aroused anger and resentment, and his reputation is extremely bad. In addition, he is a die-hard Kuomintang diehard, reckless and vicious.In the past, Lu Tao had asked people close to Liu Bolong to advise him to recognize the situation and not to be buried in the place of Jiang with a brigade of partial teachers and a brigade of miscellaneous troops, but Liu Bolong sternly scolded him and flatly refused.Now, if you come to invite me suddenly, maybe you don't have any good intentions.

Lu Tao made up his mind to go, stepped out the door and waved his hand, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub. Even if it is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, you have to go, even if you know it is a Hongmen banquet." He also told his family not to inform Gu Zhenglun, so as not to cause trouble. their misunderstandings and contradictions. In the evening, Lu Tao took Liu Bolong's special car with an entourage and arrived at Qilin Cave in person.Qilin Cave, located at the foot of Qianling Mountain in Guiyang, is a famous scenic spot in Guiyang.The terrain here is flat and open, surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, flowers and plants.The Qilin Cave is abrupt and has a special charm.In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to please Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Li built a luxurious and exquisite small building here, named it Qilindong Mansion, and planned to use it as a summer resort for the Chiang family.Because Chiang Kai-shek rarely traveled to Guizhou, it was used for other purposes.Later, the two generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were placed under house arrest here.

After Liu Bolong led the Eighty-ninth Army to move to Guizhou, he took advantage of the opportunity of the military commander Zhou Yanghao's withdrawal to forcibly occupy it and converted it into an office of the Eighty-ninth Army. ", but watched Liu Bolong become its new owner. Kylin Cave Mansion.A few bright gas lamps hummed, and the bright light washed away the dark night outside like a tide.Outside the window, the bamboo forest is rustling, and a golden full moon is set against the horizon. Lu Tao sat on the table, raised his glass, nodded and smiled.Liu Bolong, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a brand-new lieutenant general uniform, with gold stars shining on his shoulders.He raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lu, a plain feast of thin wine is not a respect."

A moved expression appeared on Lu Tao's old and kind face.He raised his neck, drained the wine in the glass, then contentedly brushed the dripping from his beard, smacked his lips, and his face flushed a little.He thought to himself that the arduous and meticulous work for the past one or two months seems to have paid off.Now that Liu Bolong is forced by the current situation, he has clearly decided to revolt. As long as this military strongman on the side of the army can wake up, Gu Zhenglun will not worry about him again.In this way, Guizhou can be liberated peacefully without interest, and it will not be in vain for its own hard work, nor will it disgrace the mission of General Liu Bocheng.
