Why does the history of the Dragon Kingdom always repeat itself indefinitely? In Xu Lie's view, it is related to people's impulsive and emotional and irrational encounters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 For example, the victory in the siege and annihilation of the Pig Waist Valley made some people impulsive, and even the civil official Yang Shu suggested that Xu Lie could consider occupying Yizhou.

In their opinion, after occupying the county seat, it is natural to attack the capital city, and then the provincial capital.

However, Xu Lie did not want to attack Yizhou, at least Yizhou was not within the scope of his recent attack. Moreover, even if you want to capture the place, you will have to wait two or three months.

Waiting for two or three months has several benefits.

I believe that after two or three months of training, the personal military quality of this group of people should be almost on par with the level of the army of the Rhine.

In addition, Xu Lie's plan is that among the previous five battalions, the best soldiers will be selected into the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion, and the main forces of the three regiments will be newly formed, and it will take at least more than a month of running-in training to form combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Yang Shu and others saw the strength of the Mengshan Army, but they did not see the weakness of the Mengshan Army.

The second advantage of waiting for two or three months is to see the reaction of the imperial court. The 10,000-strong army is gone, and the governor is gone, of course, the Qing court must have a way to get news about Zhang Rumei and others from Mengyin, but when these news are finally summarized to the imperial court, how will the imperial court think about it?

If the imperial court immediately sent a large army to attack, then Xu Lie's task was to annihilate the Qing army first and then expand. If it can be determined that the imperial court will not send a large army for the time being, or only send an army of 10,000 or 20,000 people, then Xu Lie can deal with it while expanding.

But Xu Lie believed that Cixi would definitely not be a turtle with a shrunken head for such a big thing, otherwise, this old witch would not have declared war on the eleven countries at the same time in 1900. This old witch is actually very crazy, whoever wants to challenge her authority, she will take someone's life!

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, it doesn't matter how the court reacts, Xu Lie responds to all changes with the same. In his mind, he already had the direction of the next expansion, and the batch of prisoners he was waiting for now included some new soldiers who had completed their training and completed the expansion and training of the troops.

Just when Xu Lie drafted a first draft of the regimental and battalion-level cadres of the newly organized unit and was about to submit it to the council for discussion, Wang Qinian, the director of the intelligence department, suddenly rushed in:

"Report to the commander, there was a bloody case in Dengwaer Town, yesterday evening, Chen Harrier of Aotou Mountain took more than 100 bandits to wash the town in blood, according to the scout's report, except for the squire Tan family, other families in Dengwaer Town were almost looted, and more than 200 villagers were killed, and, and ......"

"And what?" Wang Qinian said that halfway through, Xu Lie's face darkened, Nima Wang Qinian, you don't know my temper, if you want to talk about the situation, you can talk about it at once.

"Chen Harrier painted a line of large characters with white ash on a wall in the town: If you have a kind, come to Aotou Mountain to find me!" Wang Qinian said this very quietly, because Xu Lie and Chen Harrier had a bad relationship, Wang Qinian was completely clear.

"! Darn! Xu Lie gritted his teeth and scolded.

As early as the end of February, after Xu Lie's Mengshan army defeated the Qing army, Chen Harizi sent someone to Baoqian Mountain with silver to contact him, asking to buy firearms for the role of the Mengshan army, and said that the price was not a problem, as long as Xu Lie offered the price, he would give it.

Obviously, Xu Lie would not sell arms to any force other than the Mengshan Army, because that would be tantamount to looking for death. Xu Lie considered his status as a bandit, entertained the visitor with good wine and food, and then persuaded him to leave. The reason given is that the number of firearms of the Mengshan Army is limited, and they are not enough for their own use, so they are not sold to the public.

One day in mid-March, Chen Harizi suddenly brought more than ten people to "worship the mountain". This kind of "mountain worship" is a kind of Jianghu etiquette, so Xu Lie had to ask the cheap father to greet him with Jianghu etiquette.

This time, Chen Harrier proposed to join the group, Xu De said that it was okay to join the gang, but it had to be according to the rules of Baoqian Mountain, Chen Harrier said that most people in Aotou Mountain could follow the rules of Baoqian Mountain, but he himself had to be the second leader, and he had to have his own guard, and the guard must be the same as the commander of the Mengshan Army. Xu De naturally had no choice but to refuse Chen Harrier's request, but when Chen Harrier was leaving, Xu De took it upon himself to give Chen Harrier a M1911A1 pistol and a hundred rounds of ammunition for the sake of face.

Chen Harrier was so angry with Mao, and Meng Shanjun was quite reluctant to swallow his anger. To put it bluntly, it's all the fault caused by the word "rivers and lakes". Among the bandits at the Mengyin interface, Chen Harizi is the natural boss, because he has more than 1,000 people under him, including 200 good ones, and several of them are superb and have marksmanship, even Chen Harizi himself is also a master.

Xu Lie also knows a lot about Chen Harrier's skills, if he really wants to talk about kung fu, Xu Lie feels that he is inferior, of course Xu Lie is a kung fu to kill, but who knows if the other party has a killing stunt?

Chen Harizi's identity as the boss of Mengyin Jianghu was not sealed by him, but recognized by the bandits in Mengyin Territory, even Xu De also went to Aotou Mountain every three years to worship Guan Gong with Chen Harrier.

In other words, Mengyin rivers and lakes must listen to the orders of Chen Harrier in Aotou Mountain. At that time, although Baoqian Mountain had repelled the attack of the imperial court's 800 army, Aotou Mountain actually had that kind of strength.

The most important thing is that Xu Lie feels that it is not suitable to clash head-on with other bandits at present, Xu Lie knows that these bandits are like guerrillas in later generations, if he really wants to oppose you, you will face a lot of trouble, of course, Xu Lie will definitely not be afraid of the other party, and it is not impossible to destroy the other party.

But the problem is that this kind of extermination takes time, no matter how powerful Xu Lie is, there is only one person, when the bandits hide in the towns or wander in the mountains, Xu Lie has no time to entangle this matter.

Moreover, Xu Lie felt that it was not very cost-effective to fight with bandits like Chen Harrier now, as long as he was strong, he would naturally retreat, and when he had tens of thousands of troops, could he still be the boss in Mengyin? Like those gangs in later generations, in the face of a powerful modern army, there is not a single fart.

Of course, Xu Lie's treatment of bandits so well is also related to his identity. Mao, Xu Lie himself is also a bandit, how can he do things in the nest?

Although Xu Lie said that he wanted to "rebel" when he hugged the calf mountain to eliminate dissidents, and also privately hooked up the "rebellion" for the cheap father, at least this idea has not been publicly branded, and the court does not know about it. Xu Lie hoped to use this kind of concealed method of only doing and not saying anything, and accumulate as much of his own strength as possible between the reaction of the imperial court.
