Liu Zhihui, a member of the Kuomintang, wanted to suppress the Eighth Route Army in response to Chiang Kai-shek's call. However, one of the places he wanted to raid was the area under the jurisdiction of Zhou Weiguo.Zhou Weiguo's father adopted Liu Zhihui, and the two were like biological siblings. When Liu Zhihui saw that he was his brother, he quickly stopped.Zhou Weiguo sent Liu Zhihui back. Liu Zhihui saw that Zhou Weiguo's weapons were not good enough, so he gave him an American pistol in his collection.
Zhou Weiguo could tell at a glance that this gun was very good. He felt that Liu Zhihui must still have good ammunition in his hand, so he quickly asked Liu Zhihui to send him some ammunition.Liu Zhihui looked embarrassed. Unexpectedly, not only did the clearing fail, but his own battalion's ammunition was also used. However, facing Zhou Weiguo and having to give it to him, Liu Zhihui had no choice but to agree to him.Zhou Weiguo, who returned to the camp, took out his pistol to show off to others. The political commissar wanted to come over after seeing his good gun. Zhou Weiguo said that it was a gift from his own brother and could not be given to him.A few days later, Liu Zhihui sent his men to deliver the ammunition Zhou Weiguo wanted. His men also brought a letter written by Brigadier Tang to Zhou Weiguo, and asked him to make time to meet with Brigadier Tang.Soon after, Zhou Weiguo took Yang Dali to see Brigadier Tang. He also asked Liu San and Zhao Jie to conduct reconnaissance in the village where the Kuomintang was located.
Brigadier Tang knew that Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui were brothers. In order to curry favor with Zhou Weiguo, he said that he would become brothers with Zhou Weiguo. Before Zhou Weiguo responded, Yang Dali laughed out loud. Zhou Weiguo saw that he would expose his secrets like this and could not offend him.Brigadier Tang and Zhou Weiguo had to quickly smooth things over so as not to fall short.Brigadier Tang wanted to join forces with Zhou Weiguo's army. He said that if Zhou Weiguo was willing to come, then he would give Zhou Weiguo a regiment.Zhou Weiguo had no plans in this regard, so he had to say haha as a sign of eating first.During the meal, Brigadier Tang invited Zhou Weiguo to live with him again. Zhou Weiguo, who did not want to discuss the issue of co-editing, politely rejected Brigadier Tang again.Returning to his residence in the evening, Zhou Weiguo scolded Yang Dali for not understanding the occasion and asked him not to speak again in the future.Liu San and Zhao Jie investigated in the village. They did not find that the Kuomintang was oppressing the people, but they saw Laiyang's spy Liu Ermazi in Qingyuan.
