Chapter 48 to the North

That night, Guo Hu returned smoothly with a battalion of food and money, and to Xu Guoren's surprise, Widow Liu, who was in her prime, also came with her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Guo Hu knew that Xu Guoren had always been worried about Widow Liu's figure, so he directly led her into the command headquarters.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Xu Guoren asked very surprised.

Guo Hu said with a smile on the side: "Sister-in-law Liu knew that we were leaving, so she took the initiative to come with us, saying that she wanted to go with us." ”

Widow Liu stared at Xu Guoren intently with beautiful eyes, and found that after half a year, the stinky boy who peeked at himself taking a bath had transformed into a very manly leader, and took the initiative to smile and said: "Brother Xu, my sister-in-law promised you to help you wash your clothes, but now that you are out of the limelight, you won't want your sister-in-law!" ”

"Where, where." Xu Guoren smiled a little embarrassedly, and said in his heart, what you said is a little ambiguous, and it is easy for people to misunderstand.

"Although there are no female soldiers in my security regiment now, there is indeed a lack of a woman to help in the regimental headquarters, if my sister-in-law is not afraid to follow us to endure hardships, I welcome it with both hands!"

"Sister-in-law, I've been alone for so many years, why haven't I suffered?" Widow Liu said.

"We're going to leave our hometown this time, and we don't know when we'll be back, sister-in-law, have you thought about it carefully?" Xu Guoren asked.

"I'm also alone in Guojiabao, and I don't have anything to worry about when I leave, what is there to consider, but your little brother Guoren, if you don't want a sister-in-law, don't ask so much, I'll just go." Widow Liu glared at Xu Guoren with resentment.

Xu Guoren hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is refreshing, but my little family is angry." I apologize to you, sister-in-law, from today onwards, you will be the chef of my security team! ”

Widow Liu smiled at this time, and said coquettishly: "Okay, sister-in-law will cook food for you every day in the future." ”

After arranging Widow Liu and Niu Dagen, they also completed the task of raiding the house, and ran back to the command headquarters excitedly: "Regiment leader, these landlords are too rich, and they all hide basements in their homes, which are full of gold, silver, jewelry and grain!" ”

"Take away everything that money can take, bring part of the grain, and distribute all the rest to the people on the spot." Xu Guoren was not too happy, the landlords and old fortunes have been looting the people's fat and ointment for so many years, and they have exploited thousands of people for so many years, so there must be a lot of money.

It just so happened that Guo Danian would also come to report, saying that the troops' supplies had been loaded and could be evacuated at any time.

Xu Guoren immediately ordered him: "Send someone to inform the people of the whole city to come to the gate of the county government to receive grain, and say that we will open a warehouse to release grain, and all of it will be distributed for free!" ”

Half an hour later, the three infantry battalions of the security regiment and nearly 1,000 officers and men of the guard company had already assembled on the streets outside the county government compound.

Around them, thousands of Pingyang people rushed to Pingyang after hearing the news, and the compound of the county government was already full of grain and other food stolen from the homes of the main squires in various places.

Xu Guoren saw that everyone was almost here, climbed into a grain truck of the security regiment, and decided to say something before leaving, leaving a good reputation for himself and the security regiment, if there is a chance to come back in the future, it will be the will of the people.

After clearing his throat, Xu Guoren said loudly: "Fellow villagers, tonight, our security team is about to start, and before leaving, I will give you some gifts." ”

Saying that, Xu Guoren pointed to the mountains of grain piled up in the courtyard behind him, and continued: "These grains were originally snatched away by those landlords, bullies, local tyrants and inferior gentry from everyone's hard work, have you ever thought about it, why, you do more work than them, pay more sweat and hard work, but get the least harvest?" And they can sit back and enjoy it at home? ”

Xu Guoren's words caused an uproar among the people present, but in fact, Xu Guoren was just saying his views as a traverser and a modern person at this time.

I don't know what kind of psychological impact these words will have on these ordinary peasants who have been honest and oppressed for several lifetimes.

However, Xu Guoren also knew that his words were tantamount to rebellion in this era of the rule of the landlord class.

But Xu Guoren doesn't care, in fact, to a certain extent, the security group has rebelled, and after tonight, he Xu Guoren will definitely be regarded as a rebel by the warlords in North China.

So Xu Guoren continued to say impassionedly: "Now that our security regiment has snatched back this grain, take it from the people, use it for the people, everyone can get the grain, and there is no need to worry about the landlords' retaliation, the landlords and bullies in the entire Pingyang City have been shot by my subordinates, you can rest assured that you can receive the grain." ”

As he spoke, Xu Guoren waved his hand to Guo Hu, Guo Danian and a few others: "Start putting grain!" ”

Not long after, a white-haired old man led him, a very thin little granddaughter who looked like she was only seven or eight years old, and came to Xu Guoren tremblingly, and asked Xu Guoren through the guards: "Mr. Xu, you are a good official!" ”

Xu Guoren said with a smile: "Uncle, you have won the award, I am also from a poor family, these landlords and bullies oppress the people, exploit the peasants, and are rich and unkind, they should have been destroyed a long time ago, I just did what I could!" ”

The old man was moved to tears and said, "Mr. Xu, can you not leave?" I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen an officer like you who is willing to think about our people! ”

Some people who had already received food also gathered one after another, and they all agreed with the old man's words, and shouted at Xu Guoren: "Yes, Mr. Xu, don't go, stay, we all support you!" ”

Looking at these simple people, Xu Guoren's nose was a little sour, and he said apologetically: "Folks, it's not that Xu doesn't want to stay, but those warlords and landlords can't tolerate me. ”

"We all understand, we only hope that Mr. Xu can come back in the future and continue to protect our people in Pingyang!" The old man said.

Xu Guoren solemnly hugged his fists at the people and said: "If he still has a chance in the future, Xu Guoren will definitely come back with the troops." ”

To appease the excited people, Xu Guoren led the security team out of the city from the west gate amid the reluctance of the people, and many people were sent outside the city and did not want to go back.

Xu Guoren rode his horse back, and immediately waved his hand and hugged his fist and said: "Folks, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, go back, fortunately, there are no more bandits in Pingyang, and everyone can live with peace of mind." ”

After saying goodbye again and again, Xu Guoren still left with the team.

Guo Shiyin also took her radio station on the road, and it didn't take long for her to find Xu Guoren with a solemn face: "I just got the news, the provincial government has already known the news of the Pingyang incident, they have characterized this incident as a rebellion, and have mobilized more than three regiments of troops to encircle and suppress us, one of which is still the Northwest Army that has just been transferred to the provincial capital." ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, Xu Guoren couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that if Lao Tzu is not completely forced to rebel, these bureaucrats will not give up!" Since this is the case, fortunately, Lao Tzu is the opposite, who dares to come to encircle and suppress us, come one to destroy one, come to two to destroy a pair. ”

At this time, Guo Xiaoliu also came on horseback with several soldiers from the reconnaissance company, and when he arrived, he turned over and dismounted, and saluted Xu Guoren: "Regiment commander, we have just discovered two Jin Sui armies, the strength of which is probably about one regiment, and they are rushing towards Pingyang. ”

After listening to Guo Xiaoliu's report, Xu Guoren thought for a while and ordered: "The whole group should speed up and get rid of them!" ”

"Kunihito, have you figured out where we're going?" Guo Shiyin couldn't help but ask.

"To the south is the towering Taihang Mountain, Shanxi, and Suiyuan are the territories of the Jin Sui Army, and Shandong and Hebei are also the territories of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army." Xu Guoren pointed to the north and said, "So, we can only go north!" ”

"To the north? Do you mean the four provinces outside the Guanwai? Isn't that the nest of the Northeast Army? Guo Shiyin asked puzzled.

Xu Guoren nodded and said, "That's right, but I'm afraid it won't be long before the Northeast will change!" Moreover, Zhang Shaoshuai can now accommodate even the remnants of the Northwest Army such as Shi Yousan, and he may not be able to accommodate our small force, in other words, if he really can't tolerate us, then we will cross the Great Wall and enter the Northeast. ”
