Chapter 319: The split Wanhong Gang

From the current situation, he can be sure that Pang Tongxun asked him to return to the gang again, it would not be a trick to kill him, but that the Wanhong Gang has indeed reached a very critical moment. He must use all the power he can use to overcome this difficulty first. After all, once the Wanhong Gang is defeated and loses all his territory, he, the leader, has completely lost his meaning. Moreover, since the Wanhong Gang is declining in his hands, he will bear the infamy of being criticized by thousands of people. In this way, everything he has done deliberately becomes meaningless. Therefore, the main contradiction is no longer to eliminate dissidents, but to deal with foreign enemies.

Sometimes a person's experience can really be found in history. Zhang Haotian once analyzed that Pang Tongxun's situation was similar to Chiang Kai-shek. Now, this similarity has gone further. The War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which were originally as powerful as fire, began to cooperate, and he and Pang Tongxun also seemed to have reached this point.

To make a decision, of course, we must analyze the pros and cons. As the saying goes, "Heroes appear in troubled times." If we return to Wanhong Gang, in this situation, as long as Pang Tongxun no longer secretly, he can undoubtedly show off his strength and take the opportunity to develop his power. If Pang Tongxun's suggestion is rejected, he can only wait until the Wanhong Gang is defeated before showing up to compete with the Sanlian Gang.

In contrast, returning to Wanhong Gang is of course much more beneficial to him than rejecting Pang Tongxun. After all, he is already familiar with Wanhong Gang and has already gained a very high reputation. He is known as the most promising young man in the gang. If Wanhong Gang is destroyed, it will be much more smooth to develop. If he wants to deal with a dominant three-gang gang alone, it will be difficult for him to reach the sky. Since this incident is a surprising coincidence with history, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the end was the much weaker Communist Party, which grew from tens of thousands of people in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan to an army of millions, why not learn from Mao Weiren's courage to go to Chongqing and agree to Pang Tongxun's conditions. This is also his opportunity. Once it is lost, it will be impossible to have it again.

After thinking carefully for a while, Zhang Haotian made up his mind, picked up his cell phone, and directly pulled out Pang Tongxun's cell phone.

After the music sounded for a while, Pang Tongxun's "heat" sound came from his phone, and Zhang Haotian immediately said: "Hello, Mr. Longtou."

Hearing Zhang Haotian's voice, Pang Tongxun seemed not surprised, but said calmly: "Haotian, I know you are a smart person and will return to the gang. Don't worry, as long as you come back, I will never break my promise, and I will definitely open an incense altar and swear to the heaven and earth and ancestors. Although the Pang's surname is not particular about the details of his work, he has never violated his oath. I believe Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian should know this."

Zhang Haotian believed this. You should know that in the underworld, he was more concerned about trustworthiness. As Pang Tongxun's identity, if only two people heard what he said, he could break the contract secretly and then get rid of the other person. However, if he said it in public and did not do it, he really didn't want to be the leader, including his confidant, if there is any conflict of interest in the future, he could use this to kill him openly. It can be said that everyone will be punished. There is no absolutely safe thing in the world. It is impossible to succeed and not want to take risks at all.

He said immediately: "Uncle Longtou, what do you say now? Will they be willing to come back?"

Pang Tongxun sighed and said, "They have misunderstood me too deeply. Although I have promised them to restore the position of the Lord of the Hall, no matter how I persuade them, I will not be willing to come back. Haotian, you are all from Qi Longtou. It is best to communicate with them. I hope that even if they don't come back, they will help persuade those uncles who are familiar with them, so that they can temporarily forget all the unhappiness and deal with the strong enemies first. Don't be the sinners of the Wanhong Gang."

The Wanhong Gang has been in a state of division until now. Of course, the culprit is Pang Tongxun. This person can say such words seriously. He is so thick-skinned that Zhang Haotian doesn't even touch him. He knows in his heart that only when the Wanhong Gang is united to the outside world can he overcome this great disaster. It's really not possible to leave Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian, so he said lightly: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Pang Tongxun said "Yeah", then said, "Haotian, when will you come back? I am ready to open the incense hall. There is a grudge between you and me. Now everyone in the gang knows that there should be a grand ceremony so that Qiu Guang and the others can know that now is the time when the Wanhong gang needs unity the most."

Zhang Haotian no longer hesitated and said, "Okay, I will go to the headquarters the day after tomorrow."

Pang Tongxun agreed, but did not talk to him any more, and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Haotian finished the call with Pang Tongxun and immediately pulled out Gongsun Jian's cell phone. Although Gongsun Jian often called Qi Jingru, he had never contacted him. He thought the two were worried about being implicated by him, so although Gongsun Jian's phone number was called, he did not call him.

When Gongsun Jian's voice came from his phone, Zhang Haotian said, "Uncle Gongsun, I am Zhang Haotian. I want to ask you for advice if you have something to do."

Gongsun Jian said: "What are you asking?"

Zhang Haotian responded, "Just just now, Pang Tongxun and I spoke, and he asked me to give up all the grudges in the past, return to Wanhong Gang, and deal with the strong enemy first. I have agreed to him, so I want to communicate with you and Uncle Qiu."

When Gongsun Jian heard this, he sneered: "Pang Tongxun has also looked for us, but he was rejected by me and Mr. Qiu."

Zhang Haotian immediately said: "Why, Uncle Gongsun, are you willing to watch Wanhong Gang be defeated by the Sanlian Gang?"

Gongsun Jian was silent for a while and said, "Haotian, in the battle with Dongxing Gang, you did a pretty good job. When fighting Chai Rong, there are not many people on the Southern Road. Mr. Qiu and I have not contacted you because we have no specific plans, but now we have almost made it. It is best to be able to have a face-to-face conversation."

Zhang Haotian said: "I have promised Pang Tongxun to go to the main hall the day after tomorrow. Today I can rush to City G to visit the two uncles."

Gongsun Jian responded and said, "Okay, then after you arrive in City G, call me again and I'll pick you up."

After finishing the call, Zhang Haotian hurriedly packed up, then took a leather bag for business, rode out on a motorcycle. After leaving the fishing village, he arrived at the street and parked the motorcycle first, recruited a taxi, and headed towards City G.

Two hours later, Zhang Haotian got off the bus near the city center of G City, then pulled out Gongsun Jian's cell phone again and told him that he was waiting for him outside the Neptune Building.

After waiting for about half an hour, a black snow dragon arrived next to Zhang Haotian and stopped. Through the car window, you could see Gongsun Jian waving to him.

Zhang Haotian immediately got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Gongsun Jian smiled at him slightly, and did not speak much, but drove south.

As he walked along the way, he arrived at a not-so-broad street in the south area. Gongsun Jian's car parked outside the parking lot of a teahouse called "Xiangnongxuan", and then took him up the stairs. While walking, he told him that the "Xiangnongxuan" teahouse was opened by Qiu Guang, and at this time he was also waiting for him in one of the rooms.

When they arrived at the second floor, they walked through the hall and walked about fifty meters through a corridor. Gongsun Jian pushed open a door on the right and took Zhang Haotian in.

When Zhang Haotian entered the door, he saw that it was a very elegantly decorated private room, surrounded by bamboo sofas, like a small conference room. Qiu Guang, who was slightly thin and wearing a big red silk Tang suit, was already sitting inside.

Seeing Zhang Haotian, Qiu Guang also stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and let him sit next to him.

Although he had always been in charge of the government office in the past, he did not have much contact with Qiu Guang, but he felt that this person was very calm and sophisticated, and his thinking should be above Gongsun Jian.

When Gongsun Jian also sat over, Qiu Guang looked at Zhang Haotian and said, "Haotian, I heard that you have promised Pang Tongxun to return to the gang. What did he say to you specifically?"

Qiu Guang has always been loyal to Qi Yinghang, and so many people have resigned with him, which shows that he is usually in his manners and Zhang Haotian respects him very much. Listening to his questions, he told him in detail how Pang Tongxun sent a text message and how he talked to him.

Qiu Guang listened silently, and after he finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Pang Tongxun is indeed a cunning guy, and he really let go of his pride. Now half of the Wanhong Gang are unwilling to follow him. In addition, the Sanlian Gang is attacking him in a big way, so he has already struggled to deal with it. The more he loses his territory, he will think of coming to coax us to work hard for him. Humph, he is only allowed to make a wishful thinking, so don't we let Xiaojiujiu?"

Listening to Qiu Guang's tone, Zhang Haotian's heart moved and he hurriedly said, "Uncle Qiu, do you have other plans for the current situation?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Guang nodded slowly and said, "Pang Tongxun thought he was smart and he calculated everything. He really underestimated us. He thought we would go back to help him for the sake of the Wanhong Gang, so that would be a big mistake. Although we are loyal to the Wanhong Gang, we are not loyal to the Wanhong Gang that has made a mess under Pang Tongxun's leadership. If his Wanhong Gang was destroyed, wouldn't another Wanhong Gang appear?"

Zhang Haotian was so smart. When he heard Qiu Guang’s words, he immediately guessed something and said, “Uncle Qiu, do you mean to set up another Wanhong Gang?”

Qiu Guang said "Yes, Mr. Gongsun and I have carefully studied and discussed it. Although the Sanlian Gang is coming in a fierce manner and has occupied a lot of our territory, our Wanhong Gang has been rooted in G Province for decades. Whether it is in its relationship with all aspects or the loyalty of everyone to the gang, it is not comparable to the Sanlian Gang. Now if we lose, we lose internally and are not united enough. When fighting, the brothers are unwilling to fight. Therefore, if we set up another Wanhong Gang and set up a new flag, everyone will fight to the death. The people of the Sanlian Gang are already a mob, and they are exhausted from fighting with Pang Tongxun, and we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Zhang Haotian had fully understood what Qiu Guang meant. Those who were willing to follow Pang Tongxun asked them to fight with the Sanlian Gang, and they secretly built another new Wanhong Gang. When the two sides fought hard, they would come out and become the final winner. In this way, it seemed that it was indeed a clever plan to avenge Qi Yinghang and eliminate the major troubles of the Sanlian Gang.

Gongsun Jian looked at Zhang Haotian's expression and said in a deep voice: "Haotian, you were the young master most valued by the leader during your lifetime, and you were Jingru's boyfriend. This new Wanhong Gang, you won't be missing you. Uncle Qiu and I have discussed it. After the new Wanhong Gang is established, you will be the leader and be responsible for military operations. Uncle Qiu temporarily takes the position of the leader. After a few years, you will be more mature and make convincing achievements, the leader will sooner or later be yours."

Qiu Guang nodded and said, "Uncle Gongsun is right. Haotian, with your ability, you will definitely be the leader of the Wanhong Gang. The reason I don't give you the position now is because those uncles are not familiar with you, and you are too young. After going up, if everyone is not convinced, it will be a bad thing. My Su Zhi is traveling around the mountains and rivers. If it weren't for the Rank Head's sudden death by Pang Tongxun, I had already resigned and went to play. I don't want to sit in this position, nor do I have the ability to sit, but now I have to sit."

Zhang Haotian did not doubt Qiu Guang's motive, but he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. The members of the new Wanhong Gang were undoubtedly the hundreds of old men who resigned with Qiu Guang. These old men had some subordinates, that is, they could divide the Wanhong Gang into two and their strength would not be weak. According to their plan, it should be that the snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman would benefit. However, the most important point is that the strength of the snipe and clam must be equal, so that each other can be suppressed and used, so that the fisherman would not spend much effort to benefit.

From Qiu Guang's tone, he was still very confident in the Wanhong Gang and looked down on the Sanlian Gang. However, Zhang Haotian actually had a deep understanding of the Sanlian Gang and understood that most of the mobs Qiu Guang referred to were new members who developed after they arrived in G Province. Their most value was interests, but they did not have much loyalty to the gang.

Zhang Haotian knew that due to the rapid development of the Sanlian Gang, such people currently accounted for the majority of the gang. If they really fought, their combat effectiveness would not be too strong. In the past, Qi Yinghang gave in to them was because he tried to avoid the casualties and injuries of the people in this gang, and the second was that he wanted to lead the elites from all over the Sanlian Gang to the territory of G City, preparing to accumulate strength to defeat them in one fell swoop so that they could never turn over again. Now, Qi Yinghang died before he could succeed, and the strength of the Wanhong Gang has also undergone a great change. What he was worried about was that the Sanlian Gang united the power of the Dongxing Gang and the Iron Blood Alliance this time. Under their full attack, Pang Tong

The Wanhong Gang members under Xun would be defeated, and there was no such thing as Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian's expectations that both sides would be injured. And they would never miss the news when they established the Xinwanhong Gang. After the Sanlian Gang dealt with Pang Tongxun, they immediately rushed to defeat the people of the Xinwanhong Gang. This largest gang in the south, which had a decades-old history, would become a story of the past on the road. Just like chopsticks, one chopstick is easily broken, and two chopsticks are much harder to fold. I believe that what the Sanlian Gang hopes is that the Wanhong Gang is divided into two to facilitate each one to defeat each other. This move is really more harmful than beneficial.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haotian suddenly felt a little embarrassed. In terms of seniority, Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian were his elders. In terms of position, they were their past bosses. Their plan was not bad, but unfortunately, they were in the headquarters for too long and had not really contacted the Sanlian Gang. In addition, they were too confident in the Wanhong Gang's power in G Province. I don't know that the elite of the Sanlian Gang are actually very terrible. It is entirely possible that with the cooperation of the Dongxing Gang and the Iron Blood Alliance, they defeated the internal inability to unite in a short time, causing panic, Pang Tongxun. When dealing with the new Wanhong Gang formed by Qiu Guang, Qiu Guang would only be in an isolated and helpless situation, and would not last long. In the current situation, temporary unity and cooperation are much safer than the division that stands by.

Looking at Zhang Haotian's silence, Qiu Guang's face suddenly showed displeasure and said, "Haotian, don't you want to join us?"

Zhang Haotian shook his head and said, "Uncle Qiu, it's not that I don't want to join you, but that it's the most important thing to judge from the current situation to help Pang Tongxun resist powerful enemies and protect the Wanhong Gang from being completely eliminated. Therefore, I will still go to the headquarters the day after tomorrow and will do my best to help Pang Tongxun. As for the future, I can only take one step at a time."

Qiu Guang was only heard "snorting" and said, "In the past, Mr. Gongsun and I also used this idea, and were unwilling to make trouble for the Wanhong Gang to the point where they were coveted by outsiders. However, they were considered weak and easy to bully and pressed them step by step, for fear that they would kill our old life. Pang Tongxun had long thought of the retribution today, and this was worthy of it."

Qiu Guang called Pang Tongxun directly, so he naturally didn't want to admit that he was the leader of the Wanhong Gang. Their view on this matter was obviously different from that of him. He looked at the overall situation. However, Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian had too much resentment towards Pang Tongxun. In addition, they were too confident about the Wanhong Gang, who had deep roots, were controlling their thoughts.

At that moment, he said, "Uncle Qiu, Uncle Gongsun, Xinwanhong is definitely willing to serve me, but the situation in S City is imminent now. Once it is lost, it will be difficult to retake it again. Therefore, I have to go. I hope you understand the two uncles."

Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian looked at each other and exchanged glances. Then Qiu Guang nodded slowly and said, "Okay, Haotian, your idea is not unreasonable. S City is very important and cannot be lost. You can help Pang Tongxun protect this land first and develop your own power. Pang Tongxun will definitely be unable to protect himself in the future and will not be able to do anything to you. You can become a base for us."

Zhang Haotian agreed, feeling that he didn't seem to be tempted to talk to these two seniors, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian did not try to keep him, but they sent him downstairs, obviously they still valued him very much.

Zhang Haotian shook hands with the two seniors and said goodbye, walked to the street, looking at the endless traffic, thinking about the day left before the agreed time with Pang Tongxun, where should he go.

But in a moment, he thought of a place, Jinzi Village, which is also his old base. I don’t know what it is now, so I really should go and take a look.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw an empty taxi coming. Zhang Haotian reached out and waved his hand and headed towards Jinzi Village in the southern suburbs.

There was a bit of traffic jam. I arrived at Jinzi Village an hour later, but I saw that it was no different from the outside. It was still very prosperous, and the shops seemed to be open more.

In Jinzi Village, there are actually two businesses in Zhang Haotian. The same is the "Guangcai Teahouse", which is taken care of by a man named Lutong. Lutong is nicknamed "Hei Pi". In the past, it was from Wang Bin and his gang. Zhang Haotian knew him when he came to G City. He was calm and shrewd, and Zhang Haotian was very trustworthy. The other business is the "Paris Xiang Bath Center", which was taken care of by Lu Ajia.

Both of these businesses are not big, and the benefits are naturally limited. Every month, Lutong and Lu Ajia transferred the profits into his bank card. During this period, he was very concerned about the business situation and did not ask about the business situation. He just called him about something particularly important. Now neither of them called, which proves that everything is stable. It seems that the Sanlian Gang has not yet captured Jinzi Village.
