The proximity that Li Qingyuan refers to does not mean that it is very close to Taihang Mountain, but very close to Luliang Mountain, and the place of Jiexiu is precisely at the foot of Luliang Mountain.

When you arrive in Jiexiu, some people may not know where the county seat is, but if you ask where Fanjiabao is, everyone in Jiexiu knows.

In this era, there are many people who have never walked out of their own village, let alone the county seat, but these people don't know where the county seat is, and they know Fanjiabao, which shows the status of the Fan family in Jiexiu.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people here don't know what the county order is called, but they do know what the head of the Fan family is called.

Why is this so? It's not that everyone admires his Fan family, nor how good Fan Jiahu's reputation is, but because more than 70% of the entire Jiexiu land is under the direct and indirect control of the Fan family.

Therefore, sixty percent of the people in Jiexiu are Hu tenants of the Fan family, and this is still the case that the Fan family is now focusing on the outside of the mouth, otherwise I am afraid that the Jiexiu people will not even know who the emperor is.

The reason why Li Qingyuan felt close was because he was about to go to Luliang to have a look, and recently it had just begun, and they didn't want to have a mass base like Shandong, nor did they have old qualified generals like Funiu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain who could sit in control of their subordinates, and the result was that so far, Luliang had strong strength, but they really didn't do anything decent.

Not to mention that the large base area that Li Qingyuan was looking forward to has not been completed even if it is a well-trained guerrilla area, and the entire Luliang is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

Li Qingyuan has now transferred more than 4,000 guns, and the four regiments plus the Tianli Council of the Six Sons occupy the three county towns of Luliang and do their own thing.

Li Qingyuan had to deal with it, Li Qingyuan did not take the route of Zhongtiao Mountain, but followed the caravan to Jinzhong, one is the provincial detour, and the second Li Qingyuan also wants to experience the feeling of going to the west exit, and the other is to see what kind of ravines and ravines the Loess Plateau is.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when Li Qingyuan really saw it, he realized why this place is so suitable for guerrillas.

In the past, Li Qingyuan thought that fighting guerrilla warfare was to drill ravines and forests, and with the obstruction of mountains and forests, it was difficult for the enemy to pursue.

But after seeing the Yellow Plateau, Li Qingyuan knew another way of guerrilla fighting, that is, to put a gun opposite you, you look at the people there, you just can't catch them!

Why is that? Because the plateau ravines here are vertical and horizontal, it looks right in front of you, but there is still a ditch in front of you!

If you want to catch up, you have to cross such a ditch, there are two ways, one is to go down and then come up, the other is to bypass, this ditch is easy to think up but it is difficult, and bypassing is nonsense, these ditches are less than a few hundred meters deep, a few miles and dozens of miles long, and when you go around, don't say chasing people, the dust raised by people is scattered.

Seeing such terrain, Li Qingyuan was much more relieved, not to mention anything else, as long as he didn't fight with the Qing army, it was very easy to run away.

After crossing the Fen River, he arrived in the Luliang area, and Li Qingyuan's destination was Pu County, northwest of Linfen, but after passing through Linfen, the investigation became strict, and it was rumored along the way that there was a disturbance in the west, and the irrigation army did not allow salt and iron to cross the border, especially those who carried weapons, and they were all dealt with as bandits.

But after all, this is an old business road, so although the above shouts are fierce, but for the people who execute it below, it is just one more excuse to eat and take cards.

And from Linfen to the west, not to mention that there are bandits in Luliang, that is, there are none, and there are fewer bandits and horse bandits from all walks of life outside this mouth? The person above has a mouth, and he is not allowed to bring weapons, and he does not consider the actual situation at all.

Of course, the soldiers below know the situation, so they also turn a blind eye when they check it, as for whether it will contribute to the strength of the bandits?

Was the first person to carry a knife? The second family now occupies an iron mine in Pu County! Is there still a lack of your broken copper? So policymakers are just self-consolation.

Therefore, although there were many more checkpoints along the way, Li Qingyuan and others still arrived in Puxian County smoothly with guns.

When he arrived at the county seat of Puxian County, Li Qingyuan was about to arrange for someone to contact Liuzi's people, but Liuzi swaggered into the county seat, and the people who saw him shouted Sixth Master, and Liuzi also greeted these people with a smile. Li Qingyuan looked at him stunned, where did this guy get his confidence?

The sixth son came in and saw Li Qingyuan sitting there, and before he could speak, Li Qingyuan said first: "Shout!" This is not the arrival of the sixth master, please sit down, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome. ”

Liuzi touched his head awkwardly, looked outside, and motioned his men to close the door, and after the door was closed, Liuzi's body was straight: "Liuzi, the branch chairman of the Tianli Society in Luliang District, reports like a general!" ”

Li Qingyuan glared at him: "What are you doing here?" How did you fight guerrilla warfare and get to the county seat? And how did you do it, let you come to the front station, and how did you do it like this now? ”

Liuzi was stunned for a moment and said: "Now there is no soldier in Pu County, and the decree of the county order cannot be issued by the county government, so I am in the city." ”

Li Qingyuan was in a better mood after hearing this, confident self-confidence is better than blind arrogance, after his face softened, Li Qingyuan said, find me a safe place, call the division commanders over, I want to hold a meeting for them.

Liuzi smiled and said, "They are all here, waiting for you now!" It's in the Deyue Tower in the city, why don't I take you there now? ”

Li Qingyuan sighed helplessly: "Okay, lead the way!" ”

When they arrived at the place, everyone was waiting downstairs, Li Qingyuan nodded to everyone, everyone was about to speak, Li Qingyuan looked at the food behind everyone and said: "The rice is ready, then let's talk about it after eating, the world is the biggest way to eat!" ”

Liuzi nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" Let's pick up the wind and wash the dust for the general together! Xiao Er on the wine! ”

Li Qingyuan waved his hand: "There is no need for wine, let's serve a pot of tea, there are important things to talk about soon..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and thought about it, but the atmosphere on the table was a little awkward, everyone looked at each other, this attitude, I'm afraid there is no good thing.

Everyone silently finished the meal quickly, Liuzi asked Xiao Er to take things down, and then everyone stared at each other, Li Qingyuan looked at it and said: "Okay, if I don't say something, see if you are resting steadily, Liuzi will find a place to talk about things, and I will talk to you." ”

Liuzi asked curiously, "'Can't we talk here?'" ”

Li Qingyuan glared at him: "Is our words suitable for chatting in the hotel?" ”

Liuzi just wanted to say that I had chartered the hotel, but he didn't dare to say it when he saw Li Qingyuan's eyes, Li Qingyuan looked at it, shook his head and said, "Okay, let's go outside the city!" Find an empty space to say! ”
