Chapter 9
Hua Zhuoran learned from Ye Meimei that his troops had met with an unexpected disaster. Two company commanders were set on fire by bandits, and the deputy battalion commander and the first company commander were among those who were left behind.
He could no longer stay in Baohetang. He said to Ye Ziqiu, "Manager Ye, my body has almost recovered. I want to be discharged from the hospital."
After hearing this, Ye Ziqiu shook his head: "No, no, no, you can't even walk steadily now, how can you be discharged from the hospital?"
Ye Meimei also said: "Captain Hua, this matter cannot be rushed. How about this, we send people to help you find it. You can also write a letter to contact your main force, maybe your main force knows the news of my cousin."
Hua Zhuoran felt that this was the only way, so he wrote a letter to the garrison commander, asking him to contact his troops on his behalf.
The garrison commander was Niu Deli, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 15th Regiment of the 5th Division of the 2nd Army. He took it very seriously and quickly called the regiment commander to report that a battalion commander of the National Revolutionary Army Independent Brigade named Hua Zhuoran was recovering from his injuries in Fucheng. He wanted to find out where his troops were.
The regiment commander reported to the division commander. The division commander knew that this independent brigade was stationed in Jiujiang. Jiujiang was hundreds of miles away from Fucheng, and it was inconvenient to make a phone call, so he had to send a telegram.
At this time, the Chief of Staff urged: "Commander, this is a golden opportunity. We are in need of junior officers, why not take him under your command."
The chief of staff's words hit the mark of the division commander. So he said, "Ziqing, this is very good. I just don't know if he is willing or not! If he is not willing, it will be useless!"
"It all depends on human effort! If he doesn't want to, just give him some sweet treats, and he'll definitely be able to do it."
"Okay, the 15th Regiment is in need of a deputy commander. Let him go to the 15th Regiment." The division commander made the decision.
That day, the chief of staff set out from Nanchang and came to Fucheng, found Baohetang, and met Hua Zhuoran.
Hua Zhuoran thought it was the commander of his own unit and was very excited. Soon after he sent the letter, he contacted his own unit and the commander of the unit came to visit him immediately.
But when the visitor revealed his identity and found out that he was not his superior, Hua Zhuoran suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
But the man who came said, "Captain Hua, our division commander is eager to recruit talented people and hopes that you can join our division. Our division commander said that if you can join our division, you can directly serve as the deputy commander of the 15th Regiment."
When Hua Zhuoran heard this, he finally understood their intention. They wanted to use promotion and wealth to change their status.
But this is impossible!
Not to mention that the organization of one's own troops is still there, even if it is not, one must obey the orders of the superiors and go wherever he is called. How can one act on one's own in private?
So he politely declined: "Chief of Staff, thank you for your kindness, Hua is grateful here. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly."
The chief of staff was surprised: "Captain Hua, why not now? Don't worry, as long as you agree, we will handle the transfer procedures for you without you having to do it yourself!"
Hua Zhuoran said: "Chief of Staff, you see I am not able to move around easily now. Even if I agree to your request, I have to wait until my injury is healed."
When the chief of staff saw that Hua Zhuoran was determined not to leave his unit, he knew that it was useless to persuade him.
He was not annoyed, on the contrary, he admired the young battalion commander. In the face of promotion and temptation, he could hold his ground, which was commendable!
"Okay! If your troops don't contact you, please consider going to the Fifth Division." The chief of staff said this before leaving.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Hua Zhuoran said very modestly.
After the chief of staff of the Fifth Division left, Ye Meimei came in. She heard their conversation clearly. She was moved by Hua Zhuoran's character of not seeking promotion or wealth.
Ye Meimei said: "Captain Hua, since you know where your troops are, why don't you just go there and find them?"
Hua Zhuoran no longer had the previous indifference towards Ye Meimei. Although he was still not very enthusiastic, at least he could talk to her.
After listening to Ye Meimei's words, he said with some annoyance: "Although I know where my troops are, I am unable to move around now. How can I find them?"
Ye Meimei said: "Captain Hua, if you trust me, please write another letter and I will be your messenger."
"Forget it! The journey to Jiujiang is long. How can I feel at ease if you go there alone? You'd better wait until I'm better, and then I'll go there myself." Hua Zhuoran said.
"Captain Hua, this is ridiculous. The war is going on now. What if your troops are transferred? Wouldn't we have to make some inquiries?" Ye Meimei said.
Ye Meimei's words touched his heart. This was exactly what he was worried about. So he kept silent.
Ye Meimei said, "Captain Hua, don't worry! If you ride a fast horse, you can make the trip in four or five days at most, or three or four days at least."
"Okay then! Just wait and I will write to you. But it will be too hard for you!" Hua Zhuoran said from the bottom of his heart.
"That's too formal!" Ye Meimei smiled, "You've been recuperating here for quite some time. It's fate!"
After a while, Hua Zhuoran finished writing the letter and handed it to Ye Meimei, admonishing her, "Be careful on your journey!"
"Don't worry!" Ye Meimei walked out with a smile.
That night, Ye Meimei led a fast horse, took some dry food, and quietly went out of the north gate alone, heading towards Jiujiang.
On the night of August, the stars were shining brightly. Ye Meimei rode alone, galloping across the land of Gan and Po. When the three stars were slightly south, she stopped her horse in front of a Guandi Temple.
She got off the horse, took the bag from the saddle bridge, and took out two scallion pancakes. She ate one and put the other under the horse's mouth.
Perhaps her beloved horse was hungry, or perhaps the aroma of the scallion pancake tempted it, and it began to eat it with a crunchy mouthful.
It was an autumn night, and the wind was strong. The wind was reverberating between heaven and earth, hitting the gate of Guandi Temple and making a "bang bang" sound.
The autumn air was chilly. Ye Meimei found a corner and squatted down, draped her red cape over her chest, tied the reins around her calves, and dozed off with her eyes closed.
Less than an hour later, the sky was bright again. Ye Meimei felt the reins on her calves move in her confusion. She quickly woke up.
Looking around, I saw a dozen war horses lying peacefully in the grove in front of the Guandi Temple.
What is very strange is that when his horse met its own kind, why did his horse not make any noise?
There is only one explanation for this: the war horse is protecting its master.
Ye Meimei looked and saw that the distance from the Guandi Temple where she was squatting to the grove was no more than two miles. She also saw that under the dozen or so horses, there was a man in military uniform lying.
Ye Meimei was startled and quickly adjusted the saddle. In the unknown situation, the wisest thing to do was to leave this place as soon as possible.
She led the warhorse and turned lightly towards the back of the temple.
At this time, the morning light was just rising, and the dawning light revealed everything on the earth.
Ye Meimei climbed onto the horse and let the horse's hooves tap the ground lightly, "thump, thump, thump, thump..." as it rode away.
Hua Zhuoran learned from Ye Meimei that his troops had met with an unexpected disaster. Two company commanders were set on fire by bandits, and the deputy battalion commander and the first company commander were among those who were left behind.
