Chapter 25 Catfish

In the first two days of Gu Zongfu's joining the Ji'an camp, he was quite respectful in front of Wang Kefan, but the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, and he soon exposed his nature of loving to raise the bar and complain.

On the way from Jinggangshan to Tongcheng County, no matter what Wang Kefan said, Gu Zongfu had to sing two sentences of counter-tune from time to time, sometimes he could get to the point, and sometimes he was just a pure pole lift, not spraying uncomfortable.

Wang Kefan didn't take him seriously, as long as he could complete the assigned tasks well, he didn't hear the last two strange words, anyway, Wang Kefan's identity as Admiral Cao Jiang was here, and Gu Zongfu didn't dare to be too presumptuous in his words.

Wang Ding, the camp official of the Ji'an camp, felt a big headache, Gu Zongfu was born to love to raise the bar with others, and he was restrained in front of Wang Kefan, but he didn't care about it in front of others, from Zhang Jiayu to Jingliang, from Cheng Wen to Qu Shawei, from Wang Ding himself to an ordinary soldier...... Regardless of military attachés and generals, Chinese and foreign people, everyone who saw him showed his sarcastic skills, and in just a few days, he offended all people, and everyone walked around him.

Wang Ding had no choice but to talk to Gu Zongfu in private.

"Brother Gu, as a subordinate, you have to look like a subordinate. You are open-mouthed in front of Wang Junmen, although the military gate does not care about you, but after a long time, there will inevitably be a gap in your heart, which is not good for yourself and our Ji'an camp. ”

"Hey, that's not right for you!" Seeing that he dared to take the initiative to find abuse, Gu Zongfu immediately became interested, and said cracklingly: "I'm just a straight temper, saying so much is all for Wang Junmen!" Wang Junmen is in a high position and has a lot of energy, how can he treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs? Don't use the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman...... Besides, it's good for a soldier to win a battle, and I don't make a fortune by being promoted to an official by patting my ass, so why do I want to go to the ditch and lick my belly? ”

"Good! Good! Good! You have a straight temper, you are upright, and you are not afraid of offending Wang Junmen. But don't mess with anyone else, okay? Zhang Jiayu is in the affairs of the imperial court's military department, Jingliang and Cheng Wen are both confidants of the military gate, so Qu Shawei has the inner palace behind him, what good is it to offend them? Although Wang Ding couldn't quarrel with Gu Zongfu, he still persuaded him bitterly, the two of them are now in the same boat, and others are angry with Gu Zongfu, and they will be sprinkled on Ji'anying in the future.

"Hey, I didn't say you. You are the head of the first battalion of the Ji'an battalion, you should put your mind on leading the troops to fight, isn't it too tiring to engage in these twists and turns? Gu Zongfu pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, and grinned back. A look of shock and disappointment: "You are a scholar, should you talk about style?" I always wonder how to drill these camps. The character is far worse than Mrs. Wang (Liu Shu)! ”

“……”

Wang Ding's face flushed with anger. opened his mouth and couldn't speak, but Gu Zongfu was even more energetic, and there was a lot of chatter, which made Wang Ding's body completely criticized, and he had to turn around and leave. Ignore Gu Zongfu......

Wang Kefan doesn't care, Wang Ding can't control it, Gu Zongfu's big mouth is even more unscrupulous, and he says what he sees. Especially loves to attack Zhang Jiayu's Dongguan battalion.

Zhang Jiayu was very annoyed, and quarreled with Gu Zongfu several times, but his Dongguan battalion was not angry, and there were many problems of all kinds. The Dongguan battalion has just been established, and it used to be a group of grass bandits, and the quality of all aspects is not as good as that of the Ji'an battalion, and he, the main general, has no face.

was angry with Gu Zongfu here, and Zhang Jiayu went back to clean up the Dongguan camp.

Although Gu Zongfu spoke badly, his vision was clever, and he picked out the shortcomings of the Dongguan battalion one by one, and Zhang Jiayu strictly demanded according to what he said.

After seeing this situation, Wang Kefan found a suitable opportunity and praised Zhang Jiayu in front of Wang Ding, but did not mention Gu Zongfu at all...... It is inconvenient for Wang Kefan to praise Gu Zongfu openly, but as long as he affirms his positive role, it is a kind of protection for him.

There can be no harmony in the barracks, criticism and self-criticism are more conducive to the development of the troops, the generals can't be hello, I'm good, everyone, all of them are dough and dough are exquisite, although Gu Zongfu's temper is a little worse, although his mouth is a little stinky, but he is exactly the talent Wang Kefan needs.

This is somewhat similar to the catfish effect, Gu Zongfu is the catfish, which can constantly stimulate other fish and keep them excited and energetic.

The Gongyi Battalion has been in the army for more than two years, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has been rapidly improving, and it has basically reached the standard of a strong army, but it has gradually become difficult for those who have traveled 100 miles to go further. Due to the successive victories of the Gongyi Battalion, which almost never lost a battle, the self-confidence of the soldiers continued to burst, but at the same time, they became more and more proud, thinking that they were invincible in the world.

The arrogant army will be defeated!

Pride and complacency will inevitably lead to complacency, not seeing its own shortcomings, always holding fixed tactics and staying unchanged, such an army will be defeated by the enemy sooner or later.

With the expansion of the Gongyi Battalion imminent, it will be impossible for Wang Kefan to go down to the grassroots level to manage it as before, and to promote Gu Zongfu, an officer who is not from the Gongyi Battalion, to find problems and find faults for the troops from a different angle, which will be of great benefit to future development......

Thousands of troops marched north along the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, and when they passed through Yuanzhou's capital, Hao Shaoqi sent an envoy to meet Wang Kefan and sent some grain and labor.

On behalf of Hao Shaoqi, the envoy saluted Wang Kefan and confessed his guilt, claiming that he had just conquered the capital city of Yuanzhou, and that he could not come to visit him in person because of the busy military situation, and asked Wang Junmen to forgive his sins.

Wang Kefan warmly welcomed the envoy, and wrote a letter to Hao Shaoqi in his own handwriting, in addition to expressing his understanding and gratitude, he and Hao Shaoqi reminisced about the old days, regardless of official positions, just old friends, everyone is a brother...... Hao Shaoqi didn't dare to come to see Wang Kefan, and he didn't even dare to write a letter, just because he was afraid of He Tengjiao and didn't want to leave behind the evidence, but Wang Kefan didn't have these concerns, so he generously wrote to him and asked the messenger to bring it back.

Hao Shaoqi did this, it was not a two-headed bet, it was just a temptation, and he couldn't do without He Tengjiao now. Wang Kefan didn't expect to dig He Tengjiao's corner now, just to make a good relationship in the future.

After passing the Yuanzhou Mansion, Wang Kefan led his army to the Huguang boundary to avoid a senseless clash with Jin Shenghuan's Qing army, and finally arrived in Tongcheng County after a few days of marching.

Wang Sheng and other generals have been waiting in Tongcheng County for a long time, and there are both old acquaintances and new faces with them.

When the Gongyi battalion left Huguang, they left Quan Xi, Song Jiang, Heiyu and others, as well as more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry and horses, and a set of personnel such as the Navy Division of Hei Yunchang and the Trial Bureau.

They are all Wang Kefan's old team, this half a year has been dormant in Huguang, heard the news of the victory of the Gongyi camp, but can not participate in person, ecstatic but full of regret, heard that Wang Kefan finally came back, Quan Xi, Song Jiang and Heiyu and others came to Tongcheng together, rushed to meet as soon as possible.
