Flower Fairy's Tribulation

In early November of the Elf calendar year, several people heard a piece of news: Liu Zitan, the third regiment of the 11th Division of the 61st Army of the Songling City Garrison (referred to as the 304th Songling Division), known as the Sharp Knife Regiment, was engaged in an autumn bandit suppression operation in the Songling Mountains. After consecutive battles and victories, he defeated three groups of bandits entrenched in Crouching Tiger Ridge, Wild Boar Forest, and Qingteng Mountain, destroyed the bandits' stronghold, beheaded more than 300 people, and captured more than 500 bandits, achieving a complete victory.

Liu Zitan won the victory and led his troops to a triumphant return. He wanted to reward those who had made meritorious service in the battle. The list of rewards he received was surprising: the military merits of several captains who were pro-Wangufang's forces were upgraded by two levels in a row on average. The rewards were generous, and the ones with the greatest contribution, Liu Zitan, who was the most valiant in the battle, and his direct line meritorious personnel received only limited monetary rewards and no expected promotions for their meritorious service.

The award list is completely reversed with the actual military achievements. In contrast, Liu Zitan's direct lineage was obviously deliberately suppressed.

Receiving salary for no merit, no reward for merit, and unclear rewards and punishments to the extreme, Liu Zitan's direct subordinates were indignant when they were treated unfairly. When they approached Wan Bailiu to argue with him, they angered him with their fierce words. The regiment leader Liu Zitan was ordered to do so. Zhou Lou, the upright deputy commander of the sworn brother, was beaten with thirty military sticks and kicked out of the headquarters.

Zhou Lou, who would rather break than bend, resigned in anger.

Wan Bailiu immediately agreed and replaced him with his confidant Jia Jiao. In this way, he could recruit two of the three deputy captains of Liu Zitan's department, known as the Sharp Knife Regiment, and three of the four captains of the entire regiment. As a follower of the Wan Gufang system, Liu Zitan was in the awkward position of being ignored.

Liu Zitan was not rewarded for his merits in suppressing the bandits. Instead, Wan Bailiu used the opportunity to seize most of the military power. This blatant and unkind power seizure made Liu Zitan very angry.

Wan Bailiu received an expulsion order in disguise, but he was unwilling to give up his military power. He stayed behind closed doors for the past few days and was hesitating whether to resign and return to his field.

Hua Yueying was very interested in this matter. The six of them concentrated on spending a lot of time and money to bribe the people around Liu Zitan and investigate all aspects of Liu Zitan.

It was learned that Liu Zitan and Zhou Lou were both former generals of the Wusheng Kingdom. Jiang Guohui died in the battle at Lusheng City. After the fall of Lusheng City, the seventh prince Jiang Huiteng soon surrendered to the Baqiu Kingdom and called in the government troops of the remaining provinces of the Wusheng Kingdom. Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise everything will be destroyed and lives will be lost, which will be harmful to the people.

Liu Zitan Zhoulou was coerced by this wave of surrenders and changed flags with the large army, surrendered to the Baqiu Kingdom, and was transferred from his place of origin to join the 444th Division of the Songling Fortress Garrison.

Hua Yueying, Lin Chenzhong and others inquired and many people commented that Zhou Lou was brave and reckless, a tough guy who looked down upon death, while Liu Zitan was cautious and capable, and Liu Zitan did not love money and never deducted military pay, which was very common in the army at that time. Extremely rare.

Both of them are good-natured people, and their characters are decent. At least they are not bad people, and I have never heard of them doing any bad things.

Hua Yueying thought this was an opportunity and decided to meet Liu Zitan for a while.

He Yiyun said worriedly: "Liu Zitan still has certain military power. If he is unwilling to cooperate with us, we will surrender ourselves!"

Jiang Youyou said: "I don't think so, but any arrogant person has principles and his own pride. I think even if he is unwilling to cooperate, he may not betray us!"

Gu Li said: "But he is a traitor with no integrity. How can we believe him?"

Jiang Youyou said: "The Wusheng State Building will collapse, and it is estimated that there are no less than 20 soldiers from all over the country who surrendered to the Baqiu State. Most of these people were forced by the situation and had no choice. Not everyone is as unforgivable as Wan Gufang and his son. We We need to treat them differently, and we can’t overwhelm everyone with one stroke!”

Hua Yueying said: "Yuyou is right. Not every rebel is unforgivable. Even in the heinous Holy Spirit Society, there are gentlemen like Chen Jitong."

He Yiyun and Gu Liqiusha did not agree to risk their lives, while Hua Yueying and Jiang Youyou advocated taking the risk. When the stalemate reached a stalemate, He Yiyun said, "A-Zhong is the only man in our team. How about letting A-Zhong decide?"

All the girls agreed, and Jiang Youyou said: "Azhong, you are our backbone, tell us what to do!"

Lin Chenzhong thought for a while and said: "Wan Bailiu has a high position. He has a large number of military guards when he comes and goes. We can't succeed at all. Without Liu Zitan, we can only circle around Wan Bailiu and cannot touch him." In the inner circle, if they can’t find a suitable opportunity to start a business, they can only despair.”

"Although Liu Zitan is only a regiment leader and an 8th-level school officer, the Sharp Knife Regiment has strong combat capabilities and is the unit Wan Bailiu wants to seize control of. Although Liu Zitan's position is small, he can come into contact with the garrison commander Wan Bailiu. This is important for We are very well positioned.”

"Liu Zitan himself is similar to us. There is a certain risk in contacting him, but it is not unbearable. I think we should give it a try. If he doesn't cooperate with us, kill him directly and he may not be able to escape unscathed."

He Yiyun didn't expect Lin Chenzhong to side with Hua Yueying and Jiang Youyou, so he had to agree to take the risk and said, "Well, there are always risks in doing things, and those who are timid can't do anything."
