Chapter 133: The White Hall of Lobbyists

Since Situ Baili went to Dulong Mountain and lived in this small village built in the mountains, he seems to have really forgotten the disturbances of the outside world and tried his best to play the role of a son and a father. If he hadn't been able to see it often, he would walk to the playground where his son Situ Qingyun was training soldiers of the independent battalion from time to time, maybe others would really think that the blood in his heart had turned cold.

During his time in Dulong Mountain, Situ Baili experienced first-hand the difference between this kind of army and today's warlord forces. In the past, the warlord troops he saw tried their best to loot the food and property of the people. But when they arrived in Dulong Mountain, although the guerrillas here lived a poor life, at least the food was not bad at all in terms of food at the Longcheng Military Academy.

Every time he saw those soldiers wasting food, the officer leading the team would give the batons to punish them unceremoniously. In this way, these soldiers are reprimanded for not knowing how to cherish food. The people at the foot of the mountain ran out of food, and the village guards under the jurisdiction of the Dulongshan guerrillas would try their best to meet the needs of the people as long as they went up the mountain to borrow grain.

In short, as long as the nearby villages have established village protection teams, they have completely forgotten about the Gannan army, and sincerely support these ordinary people who are advertised as bandits.

As for going down the mountain to work for the people once in seven days, Situ Baili saw that this army has proved with practical actions in carrying out and caring for the people. Although he only helped the people pick up water and chop wood, by the way, he sometimes repaired the leaky houses for the people. But the people who have felt their enthusiasm have given them a thumbs up.

With the support of these surrounding villages, the Dulongshan guerrillas in the vicinity undoubtedly developed more and more rapidly. In addition to the recruits of an independent battalion now being trained in Dulong Mountain, the Dulong Mountain Guerrilla Detachment was re-established and retained. Through these relatively easy military training of the guerrillas, the construction of village guards in nearby villages has undoubtedly become more and more rapid.

Witnessing the rapid changes and expansion of Dulong Mountain, Situ Baili felt that the Dulong Mountain guerrilla detachment was a spark that fell near Shui'an City. As the spark of this spark expands little by little, the local government is powerless to resist this burning momentum, and the time left to be burned out is probably not far away.

For his son with a guerrilla detachment, he took Shui'an City, Situ Baili felt that his son was too dangerous, but fortunately, Jihua still succeeded in this time. This kind of military commander who is good at fighting and taking strange roads, Situ Baili has always felt that it is very likely that in the future, he will be "surprised by victory and strange defeat."

For example, this time his son led the troops to attack Shui'an City, if it weren't for the fact that the defenders in the city were too arrogant and lost their due vigilance, Situ Qingyun's move to divert the tiger from the mountain would not have been possible at all. Even if the capture of Suancheng is achieved, if it were not for the appearance of the cavalry battalion, the fate that awaits them will undoubtedly be a failure.

This kind of risky combat method, Situ Baili is still quite disgusted in his heart, after all, he is a general from a regular military academy. He is more interested in regular warfare with wide openings and closings, rather than this kind of dangerous command operations. But in the face of his son, he was not proud afterwards, on the contrary, he calmly immersed himself and focused his mind on the training of the independent battalion, Situ Baili was undoubtedly happy and relieved.

The only thing that made him a little unsure of how to face it was that after being in Dulong Mountain for so long, the father and son had not spoken, and even if they usually ate as a family, most of them were silent. As soon as he finished eating, Situ Qingyun would quickly return to the camp and direct the training of the independent battalion.

Situ Baili sometimes wanted to stop his son to have a good talk, but thinking of his son's silence at that grave that day, Situ Baili felt a little difficult to speak. As a father, he is well aware of his son's personality, and it is difficult to turn back on what he has identified. This is probably also inherited from his character, so he can understand the bitterness in his son's heart.

At the beginning, when he heard that Xu Jiajun appointed his son as an independent battalion, or an independent battalion directly under the transfer of the General Headquarters, Situ Baili felt that Xu Bin was a little too nonsense. In his opinion, it is good for his son to make a great contribution, but how dangerous this merit is. Situ Baili didn't believe that Xu Bin would not be able to see it, so he didn't say anything without warning, and he gave his son such an extra treatment, which must have been aimed at him.

It was only as he watched his son's training in Dulong Mountain that he found that several company and platoon cadres sent from the regular army had a solid foundation in training and leading soldiers. As for the son who took on the big responsibility for the first time, he did not have the arrogance of young people, but on the contrary, he absorbed the skills of these subordinates like a sponge.

There were still some embarrassments from the initial superiors and subordinates, but now they have basically been recognized by the officers and men of the whole battalion. This is enough to prove that his son does have the same super high command and leading talent as him. If he hadn't been ordered to go home back then, maybe his son's development in the military world today would have been stronger than it is now.

Looking at his son, whose personality and expression are becoming more and more serious, Situ Baili also knows that when his son is older, he will also have the goals and life he is fighting for. So is he old?

Qi Lin, the guerrilla detachment commander who is also the deputy commander of the independent battalion, may have guessed the importance that Xu Bin attaches to this dismissed general, and every time Xu Jiajun sends a military intelligence report. will deliberately send a letter to Situ Baili, and at the same time ask the other party to give some references.

So much so that at present, the battle between the Xu Jiajun and the Gannan Army, and even the situation between the coalition army and the Northern Yi Army, Situ Baili lives in seclusion in Dulong Mountain, and he also knows everything in the world. At the same time, he really admires the ownership rate of Xu Jiajun's radio station and intelligence exploration work. From this point, he can see that the retribution that Xu Bin told him that day was not for fun, but was being implemented step by step.

Just when Situ Baili began to take the initiative to inquire about the military intelligence report, Bai Diantang, who received the report from Xu Bin personally, took a team of guards to Dulong Mountain at night. After an interview with Qi Lin and Situ Qingyun, Bai Diantang learned from Qi Lin's previous report that the father and son were now unresolved, and if the relationship between the father and son was not dealt with, the relationship between the father and son would not be dealt with.

Then Situ Baili will definitely not agree to go out of the mountain, which is undoubtedly a lot of variables for Xu Jiajun, who is eager to be good at planning and influencing the commander of the large corps. Therefore, after letting Qi Lin leave, Bai Diantang left the young independent battalion commander behind.

After inquiring about the construction and development of the independent battalion, Bai Diantang said very seriously: "Battalion Commander Situ, after hearing about the situation in Anzhou just now, how do you think we should solve this impasse next?" ”

Situ Qingyun looked a little unprepared and said embarrassedly in the face of Bai Diantang's inquiry about such a big battle: "Brigade Commander Bai, my recent work has focused on the affairs of the independent battalion. So, after listening to what you just introduced, I think Jihua at the headquarters is still correct.

Only by stabilizing the border of Anju first and preventing the revolutionary army from taking advantage of the fire to loot, will our next step of controlling the entire territory of Gannan be realized. As for how to solve the current dilemma, I really can't think of any good ideas. However, I think that the sooner this stalemate is resolved, the better, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to our army if it drags on for a long time. ”

Being able to think of this proves that Situ Qingyun's overall view is still good, so Bai Diantang said directly: "Qingyun, now I ask you a question as a senior, can you tell me the truth?" ”

Situ Qingyun thought for a while and said, "Brigade Commander Bai, please ask, as long as Qingyun can say something, he must know everything!" ”

Bai Diantang said: "Qingyun, I heard that your Uncle Zhou and Captain Qi talked about you. Knowing that your relationship with your father is also in a stalemate, can you think that our long-term stalemate with the Gannan Army will have an unpleasant impact. So, do you think that a stalemate with your father is really what you want?

I believe that for my background, your Uncle Zhou should have told you that before I joined the Xu Family Army, I was an old bandit leader in Linzhou. In addition, to be able to be the acting brigade commander, there is indeed a little personal relationship in it, that is, Xu Bin is my quasi-son-in-law.

Of course, there is one thing that you should know better than me, that is, although I can become the brigade commander with his care, the most important thing is that I have improved my combat achievements. If you don't have military exploits in the Xu family's army, you can't have a hard relationship. You know that.

What I mean by saying this to you is that I want you to understand that although your father and I are from different backgrounds, we all love our children and love this country in the same way. None of you have experienced the life of the dynasty, and you don't know how great the disaster will be for ordinary people like us in a chaotic country.

You used to say that there is a family and a country in the world, and only when there is a family can there be a country. But if there is no one in the country, how can a home be a home? Therefore, you should not complain about your father for snubbing you for the rise and fall of Longhua Kingdom. From a large point of view, Long Huaguo is because there are too few soldiers like your father who are dedicated to serving the country.

The warlords of all provinces only care about their own interests, which will lead to the current warlords of Longhua State fighting each other, and the people are struggling to make a living. You should be proud to have such a great father, and you should not blame your father for not being able to solve your problems in time because of some setbacks.

There is another point, that is, if you continue like this, it will also make General Situ, who is already worried about state affairs, add another burden of worrying about your family. As a child, I don't think you want your father to have such a heavy psychological burden, right?

And from this short contact, I dare to assert that when you become a parent in the future, you will regret your indifference today. There is no father in the world who does not love his children, there is only this father who loves the country too much! Do you understand? ”

It sounded a little chaotic, but Situ Qingyun couldn't help but bow his head and be silent, which also made this Situ Qingyun, who also felt that he shouldn't do this. After saying goodbye to the White Palace, I felt that it was time to talk to my father. Although Bai Diantang didn't say anything, Situ Qingyun could somewhat predict that the day of separation from this parent would probably come again.
