When Xu Bin began to formulate a thorough and detailed route map for the dispatch of troops with the brigade commanders under his command and the officers and staff officers of Debangguo, Situ Baili, who returned to his hometown of Anzhou, felt like he had returned to another time and space. For Anzhou, which has been away for several years, although Situ Baili knows that the people here are suffering.

But this time, after seeing the life of the people of Linzhou, he really understood. Compared with the people of Linzhou, who have surplus food, the people of this hometown are really extremely poor. As a general who came out of Anzhou, Situ Baili really felt that this general was too much to be a cowardly general for his inability to change the plight of these hometown fathers.

Looking at the people dressed in shabby clothes, when they enter the city, they will inevitably be searched by the officers and soldiers of those city defense battalions, and those who have money naturally cannot escape the corruption of these officers and soldiers, and those who have no money cannot escape the teasing of the soldiers. All kinds of things in this hometown made Situ Baili, who had just come from Linzhou Mansion, really a little unaccustomed to the style of this officer and soldier.

It's a pity that I can't get used to it, what can I do, in front of these officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion who are used to seeing one thing in front of one and one behind the other, he is the brand of General Longhua. He can only be allowed to enter the city to avoid being searched, and after he leaves, what happened to the soldiers of the city defense battalion here was and will be what will happen in the future. This kind of thing that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, how can Situ Baili not know it?

With four loyal disciples, Situ Baili also returned to his hometown under the rule of Anzhou Mansion with a bitter face and a helpless heart. It's just that when he marched to the entrance of the village with his disciples, he saw a group of Gannan officers and soldiers with guns, wantonly robbing the villagers' belongings.

The villagers who resisted the slightest were beaten by these arrogant and domineering officers and soldiers, and the scene looked like bandits had entered the village. What made Situ Baili even more angry was that he saw a familiar figure in the crowd bound by officers and soldiers. It was his dearest uncle, an almost sixty-year-old man who had been tied up. These officers and soldiers are simply mad!

The furious Situ Baili couldn't help but pull out his pistol and fired a shot into the air in front of those officers and soldiers and villagers. When the gunshots rang out, these officers and soldiers stopped their movements slightly, and a group of officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition quickly rushed towards the entrance of the village where Situ Baili was.

Worried that these officers and soldiers would injure Situ Baili regardless of severity, these disciples drew two pistols from their waists and shouted at the officers who led the group to surround them: "Presumptuous, in front of General Situ Baili of Longhua, are you going to rebel?" ”

Admiral! Situ Baili, as soon as these words came out, the officer who led the team was stunned for a moment and said: "You said that he is Situ Baili, what proof do you have?" ”

Thinking that this officer also seemed to have heard about Situ Baili's deeds, he quickly ordered his subordinates to temporarily lower the muzzle of the rifle in their hands a little. Until the disciple who acted as a guard on horseback took out Situ Baili's documents and military uniform.

Looking at the position on the certificate and the military uniform shining with the rank of general, the officer who led the team looked a little flustered and said: "I didn't know it was General Situ just now, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Situ Baili ignored the officer's plea, strode up to his black-faced uncle who was tied up and beaten, and said angrily: "You get here, let me ask you, why do you want to arrest my uncle?" What kind of national law did he violate, so that you dare to be so ruthless when you look at such an old man. You're still not Gannanjun? You touch your chest, and it's not human blood? Yes? ”

The Confucian general is angry, it's rare to see it!

The old man who couldn't open his eyes when he was beaten just now heard Situ Baili yelling at those officers and soldiers, and he also recognized that this was his nephew who hadn't returned home for several years. Suddenly, as if he had found a relative, he said: "Baili, you are finally back." Save the folks! These people, not to mention stealing our things, but also snatching away our life-saving food.

I stopped them just now, but they slandered me for colluding with bandits, and were going to take me to the city to be punished! Aren't you a general? Then get rid of them! If they continue to behave like this, our Baili Village will become a deserted village. ”

Seeing the old man crying to himself like a child, Situ Baili's anger was to the extreme, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Listen, as an officer of the Gannan Army, I don't want to benefit the people, but harm the local people." What is your face in this uniform? What is your face to stand in front of these hometown fathers? Did your conscience let the dog eat?

My uncle is almost sixty this year, and he colluded with bandits, and what about the bandits? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, maybe I'll go to Hero City and ask your Governor Ning if the officers and soldiers under his rule are all so virtuous. Can you slander the people under your rule at will, and can you rob the property of the villagers at will? Who gave you the right? Say! ”

was reprimanded by Situ Baili in front of a group of subordinates, although he knew that Situ Baili was a famous general in Longhua, the officer couldn't help but choke his neck and said: "General Situ, I respect you as a general of Longhua, and I apologize for the collision just now." Why do you want to interfere with my Gannan's military? Even if you are an admiral, you can't control my head.

As for you going to Governor Ning, I can't stop you. But I would like to remind you that this time I was also ordered to come to Baili Village to arrest Situ Qingyun, who has close ties to the bandits who have been active in Anzhou recently. And as far as I know, Situ Qingyun should be your eldest son, right? You are a general, and you have a son who is a bandit, don't you think you are more ashamed than me?

As for what you just said that I robbed the villagers' property, isn't their refusal to resist the government's refusal to issue a tax order from the government of Xiao'an? I only need to collect the taxes they should pay now, and if General Situ has any problems, you can always report to the Anzhou Governor, and of course you can also report to the Governor Ning.

But now, get out of the way, your uncle is close to your son. We were ordered to arrest your uncle Situ Hao, hoping that after your son got the news, he would automatically surrender to the Anzhou Prefecture Security Corps. Otherwise, if you, a general, have a son who is a bandit, I'm afraid your reputation will be even worse, right? ”

Seeing that this officer was uncharacteristically arrogant, Situ Baili calmed down. Knowing the officer in front of him, he must have known the news that he had left the head of the military academy. Otherwise, Gannanjun would not dare to enter a village where he had been a general at will and arrest his dear uncle.

As for the matter of his son becoming a bandit leader, Situ Baili is even more convinced that his son made this choice for a reason. If it weren't for the fact that this Gannan army was too deceitful and too much, wouldn't the son who had always been honest and honest go up the mountain to follow the bandits?

However, he didn't want to answer the officer's question now, but said very seriously: "Uncle, what's going on with Qingyun?" Tell me now, did he really go up to the mountains to become a bandit? ”

In this regard, Situ Hao's old face was slightly red and said: "Baili, don't care about Qingyun, he will make this choice because he is forced by this gang of godsenders." In the past few years, you have not been there, Qingyun is about to take care of the old sister-in-law, and he is still pulling the two brothers and sisters Ruyun, he has a hard time! Some time ago, Qingyun talked about a girl in Lincun, and she was about to talk about marriage, but do you know?

It was these officers and soldiers who collected taxes and forcibly stained a good girl in front of the girl's parents. When Qingyun heard the news and rushed away, the girl's parents were shot dead by the gods, and the girl also found a rope to hang on the beam of her house. What do you think is the difference between their behavior and banditry?

Qingyun's child is honest, but he can be indifferent when he sees his sweetheart miserable, so is he still a man? In order to avenge the girl, Qingyun alone carried a firearm and ambushed the road that the gang of often passed by, and shot the officer who was the leader of the girl that day.

As a result, he was naturally chased and killed by the men who killed that day, if it weren't for the heroes who happened to meet the heroes who went down the mountain to rob the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that you will not see a living person when you come back today.

If it weren't for the heroes who saved Qingyun, they knew the behavior of these beasts, and were worried that they would hurt Qingyun's family, so they took the old sister-in-law and Qingyun up the mountain overnight to protect them. They barged in today, and you think for yourself what will happen to him? Just now, this one who took the lead rushed into the village to grab things everywhere and arrest people, and I told them that you were a general.

But what did he say, you are no longer a general, and you have retired from the army. There was no way to control him, so he suddenly rushed into the village and arrested him. When he knew that I was your uncle, he planned to take me to the city and lure Qingyun's child to save him. If I hadn't run into you, I'm afraid my old life would have been lost at the hands of these beasts. ”

The old man intermittently scolded and scolded, which made Situ Baili have a little more understanding of his son's going up to the mountain to join the bandits. sighed that he wanted to join the army back then, but because he wanted to do his filial piety in front of his old mother, he stayed at home as the eldest son to take care of his old mother and two younger siblings who lost their mothers at a young age. Such a filial son, to be honest, Situ Baili feels a kind of pride when he thinks about it, and he also has a deep guilt. I heard that my son finally met a girl, and he was actually poisoned by this kind of murder. You know, if the son can marry that girl, it will be his daughter-in-law!

The prospective daughter-in-law and her in-laws were killed by this group of Gannan soldiers in Anzhou, even if Situ Baili had a good temper. I couldn't help but have a murderous intent and asked, "Tell me, is what my uncle just said true?" Although our company has retired from the position of principal, it is also a matter of effort to repair a platoon-level officer like you.

I can also tell you very clearly, if what my uncle said is true. You, and you, and those who committed that sin, will accept the vengeance of our sins. Not to mention anything else, the officers who came out of our company in Longhua are not something that a shameless person like you can deal with!

My son's daughter-in-law, do you know what it means? You killed my prospective daughter-in-law, but instead came here to arrest people in a grand manner, do you really think that we don't dare to kill people if we don't lead troops for more than 100 years? ”

Seeing that Situ Baili drew a pistol and pointed it at his forehead without the officer realizing it, the officer realized that the general was aware. Before becoming the principal, he was also an iron-blooded Confucian general who had killed people on the battlefield!
