In the Laomo area, the front-line command position of the Renmin Army.
In a separate tent, Gu Baishun talked with Su Tianyu for a long time about Yu Mingyuan's problem and his own plans.
After chatting for about half an hour, the two finally talked through all these issues. After a while of silence, they started talking about Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou.
At the beginning, Zhao Weihu and others concealed the fact from Su Tianyu and did not tell him about Kong Zhenghui's betrayal and the arrest of Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou.
But this matter couldn't be kept secret forever. After the civil war in the Laomo area was over, Su Tianyu also knew the news. He was anxious and had a bad premonition about the outcome that the two of them would face.
From a personal perspective, Su Tianyu's attitude towards Shuanghui is also completely different. He and Kong Zhenghui have always been on two different paths. This difference was particularly evident when they separated, so the relationship between the two had long been somewhat distant, and it would be awkward to meet each other.
During this period, Su Tianyu tried to restore some of these relationships at several gatherings, but with little success, because Kong Zhenghui believed in his heart that Gou Liuzi, or his men, were targeting him intentionally or unintentionally.
As for Zhou Tonghui, although he was quite firm in his stance on the division of the family, his relationship with Dabai, Liuzi and others became distant for a while. But this distance was determined by his stance, not a personal conflict.
This also leads to the fact that in Su Tianyu's heart and the hearts of other association elders, the emotional weight of Zhou Tonghui and Kong Zhenghui is different.
This is also why, after the integration of the association, Zhou Tonghui's relationship with everyone has warmed up a lot, and he himself is doing well, but Kong Zhenghui is very embarrassed.
…
Su Tianyu sat on the chair and asked, "Is it possible to rescue him?"
"Almost none." Gu Baishun shook his head and replied, "When it comes to capturing enemy generals and high-level officials, the Qingyi Bureau has almost always been at a disadvantage compared to us. They are better at bribery and rebellion. Think about it, for such a long time, the only important people they have captured, besides Wang An who has already rebelled, are Chairman Zhou and Wen Xiaorou. Under such circumstances, the protection measures of District 1 for these two people are almost unprecedentedly strict. We can't contact any core personnel at all, and we can't even find the place where they are detained. If we want to organize an armed rescue, it is basically impossible."
Su Tianyu also felt the difficulty. He frowned and thought for a long time before asking, "In that case, how about exchanging?"
Hearing this, Gu Baishun nodded: "The only way out is to exchange them! After all, we have some high-level prisoners in our hands. I'm already preparing here, and I'll give you a complete list soon."
"Then we can use the exchange method." Su Tianyu put his hands on his chest and said to Gu Baishun very seriously: "Whether it is out of personal feelings or the political significance of Xiaorou and Tonghui, they are irreplaceable. We must do our best to find a way to rescue them!"
Gu Baishun agreed immediately: "Don't worry, I understand everything. I will take care of this matter and give you the list soon."
Su Tianyu nodded gently and urged: "Go ahead and deal with it as soon as possible."
"good!"
The two ended their conversation, Gu Baishun walked out of the tent, and quickly left the position by helicopter.
After he left, Su Tianyu sat alone in the tent, lit a cigarette, and leaned heavily on the chair.
Finally, the war in Mexico had a good outcome and came to an end. The internal warlord problem was solved and Santos' regime was stabilized.
This gave Su Tianyu a chance to catch his breath after he came back, and he could take a short break to relax his mind and body.
But now, Su Tianyu's mind is still very confused. On the one hand, he is still thinking about Lao Mo and the future situation of Longcheng, and on the other hand, he is still thinking about Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou.
My mind was in a mess. While I was thinking about these things, the tent was opened and An Qiqi walked in.
Although An Qiqi returned to the Lao Mo area with Su Tianyu, because Su Tianyu was anxious to deal with military issues here these days, An Qiqi did not disturb him, but continued to be in charge of intelligence work and was still busy.
Su Tianyu opened his eyes and looked at An Qiqi, who looked a little tired. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "You haven't gone home yet?"
An Qiqi said softly: "No, I called my dad, he's doing fine over there, I won't go over and cause trouble."
As she spoke, An Qiqi came over, and with ease, she helped Su Tianyu pour a cup of tea and handed it to him: "You have just recovered, so smoke less and drink more water."
"good."
Su Tianyu took the tea, took a sip, and moistened his hoarse throat.
An Qiqi bent down and slowly sat in front of him. Su Tianyu looked at her and could clearly feel that she was in a very low mood.
He put down the teacup, reached out his hand, gently held Qiqi's slightly cold little hand, and said softly: "I just finished talking to Baishun. I will do my best to rescue Tonghui and Xiaorou."
After a long silence, An Qiqi couldn't help but sighed: "Alas... Actually, after the end of Shengbao City, my brother had no other thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to live a peaceful life. But no matter what he did, he was finally dragged into it. My sister-in-law, she also has a hard life. She has not had a good life these years. It's hard to have something to look forward to..."
As she spoke, An Qiqi's eyes turned red and she clenched her palms: "This Kong Zhenghui really deserves to die!"
She tried to control her emotions, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Su Tianyu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hold her hand gently. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "Everyone will face different results after making a choice. He is the same, and so am I. Don't worry, I will do my best to do this..."
An Qiqi nodded slightly.
…
On the outskirts of Longcheng, the First Corps’ frontline suppression base.
After Kang Dinghuang finished the operational meeting, he and Lu Zhen returned to his office and closed the door to discuss the matter.
After a while, Kang Dinghuang looked at the current report on the situation in Longcheng sent by the intelligence department, thought for a while, turned his head to look at Lu Zhen who was sitting next to him, and said: "In Longcheng, there are only two core generals in charge of commanding the troops, one is Xin Xiaodong and the other is Tan Mingchao. If we can find their location and capture them alive, the situation in Longcheng will become much clearer."
Lu Zhen nodded and started talking about the issues of Xin Xiaodong and Tan Mingchao.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just as the two were talking, a clear telephone ring sounded.
Kang Dinghuang picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, made a quiet gesture to Lu Zhen, and immediately answered the phone: "Hello, Commander Wang, what instructions do you have?"
Commander Wang told him in a steady voice on the microphone: "We held a meeting to discuss it. The meaning of the Military and Political Council is that regarding Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou, if they can be reused, then use them. If they cannot be used by us, we need to use the next two as a benchmark to commend District 1's determination to recapture Dragon City!"
Hearing this, Kang Dinghuang was not surprised, but he immediately reminded: "Commander Wang, I agree with the instructions from the upper level regarding Zhou Tonghui. But Wen Xiaorou is a little different. Because so far, Yu Mingyuan himself has not appeared..."
The two of them talked quietly on the phone about Wen Xiaorou's matter.
