Shi Houlin saw that Qi Jiuying was very sincere and asked him in a hurry. Seeing this, the former did not play with the latter anymore. This high-ranking general of the Russian White Army made it clear and explained why he was unwilling to say who the master was. He said,"Commander Qi, actually, the person I'm talking about is none other than a bandit from Chess Board Mountain. His name is Liang Tianchao!”
"Wait! General Shi Houlin, did you say something wrong? Liang Tianchao is the young master of Chess Board Mountain, the son of the bandit leader Liang Liangfeng. He is only about sixteen years old today. How can a young man who is not even twenty years old solve our crisis? General Shi Houlin, I think you're talking about Liang Liangfeng, the chief of Chess Board Mountain!？”Qi Jiuying thought that Shi Houlin might have said the wrong words because he was nervous. Therefore, Qi Jiuying helped Shi Houlin correct his mistake!
However, Qi Jiuying was wrong and he was wrong. Shi Houlin was not wrong, and he did not hear wrongly. The latter smiled and said,""Commander Qi, this is where you are wrong. Age is not the key to ambition. In ancient China, there were many stories of prodigies who achieved great things.？”
Qi Jiuying nodded. He could not help but frown and said,""General Shi Houlin, why are you so sure that you recommended Liang Tianchao to me to resolve this crisis? Could it be that you know Liang Tianchao?”
"Yes, I am! Commander Qi, you're right. Although Liang Tianchao is only a teenager this year, I'm in my forties. However, for work, I've been to Chess Board Mountain many times and dealt with the bandits there. Liang Tianchao was one of them. I've met and talked with him many times! Commander Qi, my judgment of people is never wrong. I can guarantee you with my life that if Liang Tianchao can't resolve our crisis, I'm willing to commit suicide to take full responsibility!”Shi Houlin said firmly.
After saying that, Shi Houlin was afraid that Qi Jiuying did not believe what he said. The former deliberately gave the latter an example and said,"" Military Commander Qi, perhaps you find it strange that I thought of letting Zheng Enxin participate in today's negotiation so that I could find out what kind of person Zheng Enxin is. In fact, it was not my idea at all. It was Liang Tianchao's masterpiece!”
Today, Zheng Enxin did not understand what tricks Qi Jiuying, the imperial army of the Celestial Empire, was playing. As a result, the former was acting like a " coward " in a situation where the enemy's situation was unclear. Moreover, it made Qi Jiuying suspect that Zheng Enxin was someone who would not be a traitor sooner or later. Perhaps, Zheng Enxin did not expect that at this moment, in Qi Jiuying's heart, his good impression of Zheng Enxin had vanished into thin air. His good impression of Zheng Enxin was completely gone. Qi Jiuying would destroy Zheng Enxin sooner or later!
"What?! You didn't think of this method, it was Liang Tianchao from Chess Board Mountain!？”Qi Jiuying's expression was as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable. His mouth was wide open, wide enough to stuff a big apple into it. Anyone who wasn't blind could see how shocked he was.
Shi Houlin nodded. Then, he told Qi Jiuying some things that he had not told him before. Ever since Shi Houlin fled from Russia to the northeast of China in 1923 and relied on Zhang Zuolin's army, Shi Houlin had never forgotten the great task of restoring the Russian Empire and eliminating the Soviet regime. The Liang father and son of Chess Board Mountain and Zheng Enxin of Meteorite Mountain were the two largest bandit armed groups in the three eastern provinces of China. These two armed groups would naturally be included in Shi Houlin's line of sight. Obviously, a wise person could easily figure out that it was unwise for Shi Houlin to use force to eliminate these two armed bandit forces. It was even impossible. Therefore, the best way was undoubtedly to use the "soft" method to rope in alliances or help each other to deal with the two bandits. However, in the end, no matter what method Shi Houlin used, the effect would be different. Whether or not they would succeed, Shi Houlin would definitely visit the two armed bandit forces that did not have direct conflict with them before he made his move. It was inevitable for him to find out their background and "investigate" them!
Shi Houlin had come into contact with the Liang father and son of Chess Board Mountain and Zheng Enxin of Meteorite Mountain many times in his personal capacity. He often said,"" Birds of a feather flock together." After Shi Houlin had interacted with the members of the two parties for a short time, the experienced Shi Houlin only spent a few meals to figure out what kind of people Zheng Enxin and the Liang father and son were.
Shi Houlin had nothing to say to the spineless and cowardly Zheng Enxin. On the contrary, Shi Houlin was deeply attracted by the Liang father and son's personalities when the former went to Chess Board Mountain to talk to them for the first time, especially Liang Tianchao, the young master of Chess Board Mountain. Soon, he became as old as a new man, and the saying 'car cover as before' could be used on Shi Houlin and the Liang father and son!
When Qi Jiuying heard this, he couldn't help but interject,""General Shi Houlin, this means that you and the Liang father and son from Chess Board Mountain are on the same path!？”
Although Shi Houlin was a subordinate to Qi Jiuying in the imperial army, and the latter was also the former's direct superior, Qi Jiuying had never shown any disrespect to Shi Houlin. Every time they talked, Qi Jiuying would always address Shi Houlin as " General " without any airs of superiority!
Shi Houlin said," Yes, Commander Qi. The Liang father and son from Chess Board Mountain are both heroes. Liang Liangfeng has already married and had a child. He is slowly aging in his prime. However, Liang Liangfeng's son, Liang Tianchao, is definitely not a simple person. Although he is not even 17 years old, he will definitely be an influential figure in China in the future!”
Although Qi Jiuying knew that Shi Houlin was not a person who liked to boast, and his judgment of people was quite accurate, even so, the former was still skeptical of the latter's words. He asked in a questioning tone,""General Shi Houlin, why are you so sure?？Have you seen Liang Tianchao do something amazing?？General Shi Houlin, just based on Liang Tianchao's divine calculations, what kind of person Zheng Enxin was, wasn't this decision a little too hasty?”
"Commander Qi, what kind of person do you think a person with a bright future is?" Shi Houlin chuckled.？”
It seemed like General Shi Houlin was just " fooling around " by not directly answering Qi Jiuying's question, but Qi Jiuying knew very well that the former was using the method of " retreating in order to advance " to let him understand what kind of person Liang Tianchao was. To understand this question, he had to understand the definition of " future "!
Qi Jiuying hummed and said,""General Shi Houlin, although this question is a matter of opinion, I think that a person with a real future must have his own thoughts, a brave heart, and extraordinary abilities. Of course, people like this usually have a certain temper, which is arrogance. However, I don't think it's a big deal. For example, there are too many Chinese people who have no 'personality' that we have fallen to such a state where we are at the mercy of others!”
"Pa!" Qi Jiuying had just finished speaking when Shi Houlin couldn't help but clap his hands and say,""Commander Qi, you're right. Great minds think alike. I think so too. Besides, Liang Tianchao is exactly that kind of person!”
Qi Jiuying said," General Shi Houlin, after hearing what you said, I'm starting to get interested in Liang Tianchao. I think he can help us solve our problem. Tell me quickly, which aspects of Liang Tianchao meet these conditions!？”
This time, Shi Houlin didn't keep Qi Jiuying in suspense. He quickly answered all the questions in Qi Jiuying's heart and said,"" Commander Qi, Liang Tianchao is young. Even if he's only sixteen years old, he has a strong personality. He's extraordinarily patriotic, has good martial arts skills, and has a knack for war. He's also good-looking. He's definitely not a second-class cripple. In terms of thinking, for example, every Chinese has their own views on how big the territory of China is. Liang Tianchao believes that the territory of China is as big as the Yuan Dynasty. Even Japan was part of China's territory!”
"What?! Japan could also be considered the territory of China!？”When Qi Jiuying heard Shi Houlin's words, the former was shocked by the latter's words and almost jumped up. He said,""General Shi Houlin, when did Japan become our territory? Why don't I know which history book said that? Which historical record said that?？”
Qi Jiuying's reaction was within Shi Houlin's expectations. Needless to say, Qi Jiuying was shocked after hearing Liang Tianchao's explanation. Even Shi Houlin, a foreigner, had a similar reaction to Qi Jiuying when he heard Liang Tianchao's explanation. However, compared to Qi Jiuying, Shi Houlin had heard this explanation for a long time. Shi Houlin had gradually become accustomed to it and slowly accepted it. Therefore, Shi Houlin wasn't as shocked as Qi Jiuying!
" Commander Qi," Shi Houlin said with a smile," you may not believe it, but the person who raised this point of view was none other than Liang Tianchao, a kid who was still wet behind his ears!”
