Back to the Republic of China as a commander

After listening to Ma Xicheng's retelling, Liu Xing didn't say much, but said softly to Wang Zhenyu: "If the brigade commander wants to severely injure these bandits, our Ninth Brigade is more than enough; There is someone I can recommend to you, Zhou Lan."

This is the second time Wang Zhenyu heard Liu Xing mention this name. The last time was when he first met Liu Xing in his hometown.

Where is Zhou Lan now?Just in the army, Zhou Lan, who was wanted by the Provincial Governor's Mansion like Liu Xing, asked Liu Xing to deceive him to Jingzhou with a letter, and the result was even more annoyed than Liu Xing.Also because he couldn't see Wang Zhenyu, Liu Xing still had a spare job to earn a living.Our Zhou Lan doesn't even have an official status, and he depends on Liu Xing for food and lodging, but now he is a wanted criminal and has no other place to go, so he lives in Jingzhou with peace of mind.

An hour later, Wang Zhenyu picked up an upright classmate Zhou Lan at the headquarters. This person was of medium build, with bright eyes, slightly thick lower lip, big blessed ears, and no evil spirits at all.

But it happened to be such a person who was praised by Liu Xing as good at strategy.This can't help but make Wang Zhenyu very curious.

Soon, Wang Zhenyu believed in Liu Xing's recommendation.

Chapter 076

Zhou Lan listened to the whole gossip from beginning to end, and immediately came to three conclusions:

First, if the bandits dare to attack a heavily fortified city, there is only one reason, someone is in the city to support it;

Second, the bandits are still in series, indicating that they will not be able to attack in the short term;

Third, the mastermind of this matter must be one or a group of those who lost the interests of the political reform.

Zhou Lan also proposed three countermeasures:

First, find out the traitor. If there is no accident, the person who supports the internal and the mastermind should be the same person;

Second, to lure the snake out of the hole, deliberately showing weakness, instead of taking back the various ministries, it made the illusion of Jingzhou's emptiness, and lured the enemy into the bait;

Third, use the tricks, use the traitor or the mastermind, set up an ambush, and wipe out all the bandits who threaten the Xiangxi commercial road.

After Wang Zhenyu heard it, he was overjoyed. He left his seat and hugged Zhou Lan's arms and said, "Sir, you are really talented! I just met you today. It was Wang who was negligent. Make an apology. Tonight, Wang will be the host. Let's have a light meal together."

After dinner, Liu Xing was appointed as lieutenant colonel and captain of the brigade directly under the brigade, Zhou Lan was appointed as major and deputy captain, and the secret service company, teaching team, and reconnaissance company were all merged into the brigade.At the same time, the task of finding the traitor was left to this brigade.

Many years later, Zhou Lan, who was already in a high position, often recalled the glorious years from a high-achieving student in the Army No. [-] Middle School to a fugitive wanted by the Hunan Governor's Mansion, to a major officer in the Tiger Brigade, and then to the success of the career. They couldn't help sighing: "Life is full of ups and downs and unpredictable changes. If there is no Wang Shuai in this life, even if I, Zhou Lan, have great talents, I will only be like this."

I have to repay the kindness of knowing you.After turning from a fugitive to a major officer of the Tiger Brigade, Zhou Lan immediately started screening.He immediately dispatched sixty very unremarkable young men from the teaching team, the spy company, and the reconnaissance company. After dressing up in disguise, he didn't explain the mission, but sent them to teahouses, brothels and other public places in the city. No one gave a fee, anyway, I was just dawdling there and listening to news.

For several days, there was no reliable news, and Liu Xing became a little anxious: "Brother Zhou Lan, this is the first errand our brothers have done in the Tiger Brigade. If it goes wrong, we will lose face." gone."

Zhou Lan drank a cup of rice wine, then picked up a peanut with chopsticks and threw it into her mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "Brother Liu, you are also concerned about yourself, so you are related to the brigade commander. Second, why don't you worry about me doing business?"

Liu Xing rolled his eyes angrily at Zhou Lan's indifference, stomped his feet and walked away. It would be better to discuss strategies and tactics with Li Zongren if he had time to talk to this bastard.

The business of Wangjiang Tea House in Jingzhou City is really good. Today is the first regular meeting of the parliament, and many people have attended it.After listening to it, I followed the teahouse and sipped while blowing. After all, the parliament is really something new.

"This parliament is really not bragging. See, even the newly appointed police chief is polite to the members, answering whatever they ask." A middle-aged man wearing a turban was the first to come out and talk topic.

"Brother Wang, don't tell me, it's the first time I've seen you when I grow up. Moreover, this council is really different from the old yamen. The old yamen knew how to apportion and urge donations. This council is so good, it actually wants to It’s really a good thing to set up a school, a medical clinic, and talk about free education so that everyone’s children can read books.” Another middle-aged man who was slightly shorter asked.

"I see, this matter is absolutely true. Let me tell you, do you know who submitted this case? It was proposed by Wang Zuhui, the patriarch of our Wang family, and I didn't blow it up. This parliament The group leaders of the seven groups, our patriarch is a regional councilor, and the others are either chambers of commerce or prestige." The man named Third Brother Wang said proudly.

"Brother Wang, what is a regional councilor..." Looking at the enthusiastic discussions at the middle tables, the three flesh-faced men at the outer table seemed very upset.

"These bastards are really proud of themselves now." One of them was about to explode on the spot.

The two men beside him hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother Huang, don't be impulsive, don't ruin the good work of the boss." Then the man named Brother Huang sat down indignantly, and did not forget to say something long-winded: " Don't look at them having a lot of fun today, let's draw up the list tomorrow." The other two persuaded a few more words, and the second brother Huang finally calmed down.

They didn't notice at all that behind them, at the table in the corner, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of an unremarkable young man.Then, nothing happened, and the young man continued to eat.

If Brother Huang knew the identity of this young man, he must regret his impulsiveness.

This young man is called Hu Fulin, from Baoqing, he is not very old, he is just [-] this year, but his personality is very mature.He doesn't talk much, but he has strong observation skills and stronger analytical skills.Such a person was assigned to the teaching team, so it was a tragedy. Compared with the muscles, this man was the last one;Therefore, Hu Fulin stayed in the teaching team for three months, and most of those who entered the same batch went to become platoon leaders, but Hu Fulin was left behind and became a deputy squad leader in name only.

If it wasn't for his rustic appearance that was in line with Zhou Lan's selection criteria, Hu Fulin's fate might have been shaped like this, and he really wouldn't be able to get along in the coaching team.Then they were assigned to the security force as a small officer, and when their service period expired, they returned to their hometowns to continue farming and put their hopes on the next generation. This is the life of most people.

But this Hu Fulin has Wang Baoqiang's luck, being extremely humble is also a kind of talent, and he is one of the investigators this time.And the person who caught the big fish happened to be him, and the legend of a spy chief began. . .

Hu Fulin didn't rush back to report, but quietly followed Huang Erge and his party until they arrived at Huang Jianxiong's house, and then slowly went back to see Zhou Lan.

"Okay, okay, okay" After hearing Hu Fulin's report, Zhou Lan was overjoyed. The pressure recently was too great. She knew that the enemy existed, but she couldn't catch the tail. Now that she finally found it, it was naturally three good words. .

Liu Xing was about to mobilize people to arrest him immediately, but Zhou Lan stopped him: "Don't worry, the cooked duck can't fly, bring Xiao Hu, and we go to see the commander." After listening to Zhou Lan's report, Wang Zhenyu said, It was the same as Liu Xing's reaction: Since you found it, why don't you report it, why don't you arrest him?

At this time, Zhou Lan asked Wang Zhenyu very boldly: "Commander, with regard to these bandits, do you plan to exterminate them slowly in the future? Or solve the problem at once." This question can be regarded as asked in Wang Zhenyu's heart, the wolf disaster is resolved Yes, the biggest problem in Jingzhou now is banditry.Although I can solve the problem of common people and bandits in the area under my jurisdiction through the dividend distribution of the business town, I really can't do anything outside the area under my jurisdiction.I can't bring a large number of people to Liu Xianshi's territory in Guizhou and say, Dudu Liu, I came in to fight bandits, and I will leave after the fight.You ask Liu Xianshi whether he believes it or not?

But recruiting these bandits and eliminating them is another matter entirely.The people under your jurisdiction in Guizhou voluntarily immigrate, you can't make trouble with me, right?

Wang Zhenyu is also a smart person. When Zhou Lan asked him this question, he immediately understood the question.

He turned the pencil in his hand, fixed his eyes on Zhou Lan's eyes, and told Zhou Lan word by word: "I will leave this matter to you." Zhou Lan respected Wang Zhenyu solemnly. A military salute: "yes".

When the three of them were about to leave the door, Wang Zhenyu said again: "I plan to open a cement factory in Jingzhou, and I also want to repair the roads. All these require labor. It would be great if there is free labor." Zhou Director, do you think so?" "Director Zhou?Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment, isn't she the deputy captain?How did you become the director?

Wang Zhenyu liked to see smart people like Zhou Lan slumped, because it gave them a sense of accomplishment, and he waved them away without explaining.

One day later, Zhao Dongsheng came to Wang Zhenyu's order: "We hereby appoint Zhou Lan as Lieutenant Colonel and Director of the Military Intelligence Department of the Jingzhou Garrison Command."

After making great contributions, Hu Fulin was also promoted to lieutenant and belonged to the Military Intelligence Department. . .

Zhou Lan was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and immediately began to set up operations day and night. He firmly remembered Wang Zhenyu's words that the commander needed a lot of free labor. . .

Zhou Lan had already caught Huang Jianxiong's tail, but Yang Shouyin and King Yang's work in the contract did not go so smoothly.

The time has entered the middle and late May. Although he is getting old, Yang Shouyin has worked tirelessly, and still insists on participating in community work, walking around the streets, writing bad checks from hill to hill.After a lot of effort, with enough attractive promises and the prestige of the old seniors, except for a few companies with old grudges who refused to join forces, old Comrade Yang Shouyin finally made dozens of companies large and small in the entire southeast of Guizhou. Forces were brought together.

Since the profit is divided according to the head, in terms of the number of people, these leaders are somewhat false. In total, there are more than 3 people.But it doesn't matter, Yang Shouyin reckoned, 1 is definitely not there, but [-] is absolutely indispensable.

And the latest information from Jingzhou is also very encouraging. It is said that the Ninth Brigade, which originally had only more than 4000 people, has recently mobilized a lot. The three main regiments were sent to Huitong, Tongdao, and Suining counties to help form some kind of security detachment.Regardless of him, in short, there are less than 1000 troops left in Jingzhou City.

It's less than one-tenth of your own side, so what are you afraid of, the employers will pile them up to death.

Yang Shouyin's thinking is really simple. After all, he has been wandering around in this mountain all his life, and the most powerful officers and soldiers he has encountered are just local garrison troops.Moreover, the local garrison is also very cunning. If you drive you into the mountains, it's over. If you die, you won't even step into the mountains.Of course, this is not entirely for the self-respect of the bandits, but these professional bandits will be at home in the mountains.At this time, if you go in and pursue it rashly, the problem will change from how to catch up to how not to be caught up.

After a long time, Yang Shouyin, who was sitting in a well watching the sky, felt that the army outside the mountain was nothing more than that.He always said to everyone: If there was not Cai Juxian in Hongjiang who was really good at fighting, with the 3000 troops in his hand, Yang Shouyin would have been killed from the mountains and entered the city to become the king.

Now that Hongjiang has established the fifth provincial security zone, Cai Juxian can no longer manage the affairs of the Jingzhou Mansion, and the Baojing Township Mansion that manages the Jingzhou Mansion has actually sent a young man who says he can't do things well. Guard Commander (Huang Jianxiong's language), then I, Lao Yang, will not be polite, kill!

Chapter 077

However, after offering sacrifices to the heavens and setting up the banner of justice for the heavens, as soon as they came out of the village, the banditry characteristics of the coalition forces were completely exposed:

The first is marching discipline, that is, there is no discipline at all. Each team walks on its own, and the speed is not uniform. Often the front team has already reached the next target point, and the rear team is still dragging on last night. .This kind of marching like a foreign worker can't cover twenty miles in a day, which is comparable to Liu Xuande in front of Changbanpo in the Three Kingdoms.And at the very beginning, everyone knew that they should not scare the snakes, and picked up the mountain trails that are inaccessible before marching. Later, the leaders quit.It is said that there are so many of us, so what if we startle the snake?Walking on the bad road in this mountain, not to mention the slowness, it is hard to find food, and the accommodation is completely open-air.So there was no other way, Yang Shouyin had to agree to follow the official route, so everyone entered the village as soon as they saw it, and the people ran wild along the road, and the people complained.God, is this a war or a trip?

The second is reconnaissance work. Anyone with a little military knowledge knows how important scouts, or scouts, are to an army.It's a pity that our coalition army, which acts on behalf of the sky, has a very unique understanding of reconnaissance. In the cottage, there is a special post called Xunfeng, or Guanfeng.In "Journey to the West", their lines of appearance are as follows: "The king sent me to patrol the mountains...".Alas, this is the scout.During the march, the road-finding group was sent, but how effective it is, we can get a contrast from the performance of the reconnaissance company of the Tiger Brigade.When the scouts of the Tiger Brigade were the closest, they were able to observe at a close distance less than 50 meters from Yang Shouyin's department without anyone paying attention.In this way, there is no secret at all.On the other hand, Yang Shouyin knew almost nothing about Wang Zhenyu's information, and all he knew was from Huang Jianxiong.From the very beginning, the battle was already decided.

The third is the issue of command. Although the leader of the 3000 rebels is Yang Shouyin, in fact, Yang Shouyin can command the [-] troops of his family in the end.If you really want to do something, you still have to gather dozens of people and discuss it. God, this is a war, not an advertisement design.By the time you finish speaking one sentence at a time, it is estimated that all the people under your command will be exhausted.

This is not counting the flags, clothing, passwords, and identifying these details. Just the above three items, if Sun Wu is in command, he probably doesn't know how to fight.
