Xu Shiyou, the founding general.
Speaking of this veteran general, I believe that the first description that comes to mind in many people's minds is: Legend! This veteran general has also had many stories in his life.
Today, through a few short stories, let's get to know General Xu Shiyou......
Xu Shiyou
Where is the legend of Xu Shiyou? I think there is one thing worth mentioning:
Maybe an anachronistic heroism and temper!
Throughout his life, Xu Shiyou's heroic and straightforward character never changed, no matter what the circumstances! This also made General Xu Shiyou deeply admired by many people.
First of all, when it comes to drinking!
Xu Shiyou's amount of alcohol is very good, it can be said that it is massive, and even Xu Shiyou himself once said a sentence:
"I've only drunk too much, not drunk!"
This sentence sounds like an exaggeration, but in fact, it is true, Xu Shiyou has drunk wine, according to incomplete statistics, if it is loaded with a Jiefang brand truck, it can be loaded with at least 4 cars, which shows that Xu Shiyou loves wine and the amount of alcohol.

Of course, Xu Shiyou's drinking is definitely not a blind drink, and there are three no-drinks:
First, don't drink before the war;
Second, don't drink during the battle;
Third, don't drink when you lose a battle;
It is not difficult to see that as long as it is related to the war, the victory or defeat, and the army, Xu Shiyou does not drink, so although Xu Shiyou loves to drink, he is definitely not a person who drinks blindly, and he knows it.
It is worth mentioning that in the Battle of Jinan, Xu Shiyou and Wang Jian'an are about to cooperate in the Battle of Jinan.
For the next cooperation, Xu Shiyou took the initiative to break the ice and went to Wang Jian'an with wine to meet, after the meeting, Xu Shiyou and Wang Jian'an also said that they would not mention the past, and then cooperate well.
After that, Xu Shiyou drank all the bottles of wine, Wang Jian'an was also very moved, and drank all the wine brought by Xu Shiyou, and the two laughed and hated.

This also makes Xu Shiyou, a wine lover, bold and introverted!
Next is to go to Beijing to mourn Chairman Mao!
On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao passed away.
Xu Shiyou was working in Guangzhou at this time, and when he learned the news of Chairman Mao's death, Xu Shiyou burst into tears, and immediately decided to put down all his work and immediately set off to Beijing to mourn Chairman Mao.
Subsequently, Xu Shiyou immediately contacted Guangzhou and arranged a special plane, and it happened that Comrade Wei Guoqing was also going to Beijing to mourn Chairman Mao, so Xu Shiyou and Wei Guoqing decided to take a special plane to Beijing together.
The two took a car and soon came to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.
Then, Xu Shiyou boarded the gangway, entered the cabin and sat down, waiting for the plane to take off immediately, and then went to Beijing, he desperately wanted to mourn Chairman Mao, and no one could stop him.
After waiting for a while, the plane still didn't take off, Xu Shiyou thought there was something, so he told the secretary to ask.
The first reply I got was that the weather was bad and that I had to wait a little.
Xu Shiyou
Xu Shiyou did not have a seizure, and continued to wait for a while, seeing that the plane still had no intention of taking off, Xu Shiyou instructed the secretary to ask.
The second reply I got was that the plane had some special conditions and was being overhauled.
Xu Shiyou was already a little angry, but he endured it and didn't have a seizure, and after waiting for a long time, the plane still didn't take off, Xu Shiyou was angry, and went to ask the captain in person, he wanted to see what he wanted to do?
When the captain saw that General Xu Shiyou was angry, he had no choice but to tell the truth, saying that it was because they found that General Xu Shiyou was carrying a pistol before boarding the plane, and there was an order from the central government that those who came to mourn were not allowed to bring guns into Beijing.
When Xu Shiyou heard this, he was furious on the spot, he didn't bring a gun to beat people, as Chairman Mao's soldier, he was going to guard Chairman Mao's spirit, stand on the last post, no gun, how can he do it?
The captain did not dare to disobey General Xu Shiyou, so he had to immediately fly the plane to Beijing.
Xu Shiyou, Chairman Mao
After coming to Beijing, Xu Shiyou rushed to Chairman Mao's mourning hall with a gun, even though someone blocked him on the road, Xu Shiyou ignored them all and insisted on bringing a gun inside.
Xu Shiyou, his life has not changed, how rare......
