When Situ Baili enjoyed a hearty breakfast, the whole family was happy that Situ Qingyun had finally become the familiar brother and eldest grandson. After Situ Qingyun finished breakfast, he returned to the barracks again to organize a day of training, and Situ Baili, who was about to help his daughter clean up the dishes and chopsticks, heard the news that the disciple who was also eating at him brought the news that Bai Diantang, the commander of the Anzhou Brigade of the Xu Family, had visited.

Thinking that before his son left early in the morning, he bluntly said that the brigade commander must have gone up the mountain with a mission, and he was still coming for himself. Situ Baili knew that after seeing this White Brigade Commander, he must know what conditions Xu Bin offered to recruit him.

Changing into a formal outfit, Situ Baili met Bai Diantang, the brigade commander of the Anzhou Brigade, for the first time. For this backbone officer in the Xu family's army, Situ Baili also knew through the introduction of his student Zhou Dingbian that this brigade commander was once born in the green forest. was able to become this brigade commander, in addition to indeed winning a few battles, it was also somewhat because of the relationship between the father-in-law of the leader of the Xu family's army.

Of course, Zhou Dingbian, who has always been proud, has no dissatisfaction with Bai Diantang's position being higher than him. On the contrary, he knew very well that Xu Bin, as the leader of the First Army, was able to admire this brigade commander, who also had a good ability to lead troops, and was especially good at winning the hearts of the army.

If Bai Diantang really didn't have the ability to be an officer, then with Xu Bin's character, he wouldn't make any more exceptions for him. In terms of public and private, Xu Bin is surprisingly calm. This is also known to the soldiers of the Xu family, and it is also what everyone obeys when promoting someone.

There are disciples to greet on their behalf, and after Bai Diantang met with Situ Baili, Bai Diantang didn't want to waste each other's time, so he went straight to the point and said: "General Situ, believe me to take the liberty to visit today, with your ability, you should guess." Today, I am asked by Xu Bin, commander-in-chief of the Xu Jiajun, to sincerely invite General Situ to join the Xu Jiajun and work together to change the status quo of thousands of people in Longhua and end the chaotic warlord war in the country. I wonder what General Situ thinks? ”

Hearing this, Situ Baili also regained his demeanor as a Confucian general, and said with a smile: "Then what conditions do you think your commander-in-chief Xu can give to invite me?" You must know that our company is also a general who has been officially appointed by the government. Even if I am dismissed now, if I want to join other armies with my prestige, the conditions must be higher than what you Commander-in-Chief Xu gives, right? ”

Regarding Situ Baili's words, Bai Diantang was not angry, but said with a smile: "General Situ, do you think these words are used to make a joke, or are they denying the ideals you have pursued all your life?" Although Bai was born in the green forest, I also know that now that I am looking through the entire Longhua country, I am afraid it will be difficult to find an army like Xu Jiajun, who sincerely carries guns for the common people, right? Isn't that the army you've been pursuing? Could it be that Bai has heard rumors about the general, but they are all lies? ”

If you want to talk about marching and fighting, Situ Baili will definitely throw a few streets away from Baidiantang, but when it comes to lip service, Baidiantang, who was born in the green forest, is not afraid of Situ Baili. Therefore, in the face of Situ Baili's jokes, Bai Diantang still talked and laughed with him.

After the two of them argued again, Situ Baili also sighed: "It seems that Brigade Commander Bai has really put a lot of effort into asking me about my affairs for the sake of your prospective son-in-law. If I'm not mistaken, my disciple who was on an errand under you should have told you about me! Okay, I won't go around in circles, I have no objection to joining Xu Jiajun.

It's just that how much power can you Commander-in-Chief Xu give me, and besides, he doesn't worry, will I take his inheritance one day in the future? You know, although I haven't led the army in these years, there are still a lot of disciples who have been taught here! You really don't have to worry that one day I'm going to do something to take the lead? ”

In this regard, Bai Diantang said with a smile: "Regarding this kind of worry, let's not say that General Situ's character can't do this kind of thing at all. Even if General Situ Zuihou really did that, I think with my son-in-law's character, he would be willing to give up the position of commander. In fact, what I want to say is that in order to improve the status quo of the melee in Longhua and create a peaceful world for the people, you and him have the same goal.

I once heard him say that if he wasn't born in troubled times, he would prefer to take his beloved woman to be a free rich man, rather than this kind of success or failure of the people's hegemony. If he can really fulfill his lifelong dream in the future, I think he will definitely be willing to have someone take on this responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country for him, and he will be able to settle down quietly and comfortably.

After all, he is only seventeen years old this year, and even if he bears such a big responsibility, we can imagine it. Is this kind of high position really comfortable? ”

Oh, yes! At the age of seventeen, not to mention becoming the leader of one party, he also created a strong Xu family army. is about to become a warlord of Gannan again, and he has done such a big thing at this age. It is impossible to say that it is impossible to do it without putting effort into it.

Think about it when he was seventeen years old, he was still in school, and going abroad to study abroad was also a matter of adulthood. In his ignorant years, Xu Bin had already sought development for the sake of the country and his hometown. With this kind of ambition, even Situ Baili had to say a word.

Seeing that Bai Diantang handed over the letter of appointment written by Xu Bin himself, the position of chief of the general staff of the Xu family army undoubtedly made him an authoritative figure above 10,000 people in the Xu family army after Xu Bin. Seeing a letter of appointment from the dean of the Military Academy of Lianbing Mountain, Situ Baili also sighed that he really underestimated Xu Bin's courage.

Dare to entrust such a great power to him, a soldier who has only been in contact with once. It is to see his character, and he will not do anything to betray his faith and leader. Or do you really have that much confidence to be in control?

Faced with the two letters of appointment handed over to him, Situ Baili thought about it for a while, and returned the letter of appointment appointing him as the principal of the military academy. For this letter of appointment of the chief of staff, he stayed, and no matter how Bai Diantang persuaded and proved that Xu Bin was sincere, he refused to accept it.

In Situ Baili's words, that is the unique respect for teachers and respect complex of Longhua people, once he serves as the principal of this military school. Whether he wants to seize power in the future or not, those who have the intention of destroying the good situation will pull him out as a target. Therefore, in order to put an end to this possibility, he will resolutely not accept the principal's letter of appointment. But if the military academy needs him to take classes, he will teach these officer cadets as an instructor. But the core leader of the military academy must be Xu Bin.

Seeing that the meaning of Situ Baili's words was not humility, but sincerely considering this issue from Xu Bin's position, Bai Diantang was naturally not reluctant.

It's just that when he proposed that he hoped that Situ Baili would return to the state capital to take up the post of chief of staff, Situ Baili shook his head and said: "You, who are father-in-law, have to take the exam for a period of time when you become the head of the regiment, and I, the chief of staff, will take office." You have to show a little bit of military merit to be worthy of this identity, right?

Although you didn't say it, I have also read your battle report during this time, and I think you will also solve the Anzhou affairs and be troubled! Then when I first became the chief of staff, I will solve the current troubles for you, and make a military contribution in helping you take Anzhou, and it must be more convincing to go back to office, right? ”

Hearing that Situ Baili was really paying attention to the battle of Anzhou between the Xu Jiajun and the Gannan Army, Bai Diantang undoubtedly seemed very happy, and waited until he was pulled to the study by Situ Baili. When he saw that on that military map, a series of distribution maps of the armies of the two sides and offensive and defensive diagrams had been standardized, Bai Diantang also sighed that in the future, he really wanted to be like this chief of staff and learn the skills of arranging troops.

With this offensive and defensive diagram, Bai Diantang also told Situ Baili about the latest information of the Xu Family's army. When he learned that in the Gannan Army now stationed on the border of Anzhou, the main commander of the rear guard was the student he had brought before.

Situ Baili also felt that if he could successfully complete the recovery of Anzhou on the premise of reducing cannibalism, it might be a better result for him to that student. After all, fighting is to die, and whether it is Gannan Army or Xu Jiajun, to put it bluntly, they are all Gannan disciple soldiers.

There is really too much bloodshed, and it will also play a lot of variables for Xu Jiajun to stabilize Gannan in the future. Therefore, it is a matter of good fortune for them to be able to persuade this disciple to come back from his lost path. Moreover, Xu Bin had promised before he came, as long as this disciple of Situ Baili was willing to put things in order and lead the army to join the Xu family's army.

He could retain the responsibility of the head of the uprising and let him command a regimental unit of the Xu family's army. Of course, the troops under his original direct command must be disrupted and rebuilt, which is also to prevent the regiment commander from changing course in the future.

In fact, even if Situ Baili does not persuade him to surrender, then the Xu family army has now besieged the supply line of the border and Shui'an City, and the Anzhou reinforcements in front of him will not be able to enter. The main division on the border will sooner or later fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Especially once the revolutionary army on the opposite side takes advantage of it, then this Anzhou may really be completely chaotic. Therefore, the peaceful takeover of Anzhou's defensive positions is undoubtedly of great benefit to the Xu family army and the Gannan army, both of which are from Gannan.

Thinking of this, Situ Baili took out his pen and ink, and quickly wrote a letter to this disciple, telling him the stakes. In addition, one of the four disciples who were closely protected was selected to enter there in the name of visiting friends. As much as possible, we should strive for cooperation between the inside and the outside, and win the border to stabilize the current chaos in Anzhou.
