In Xu Bin's base areas along the four county seats, he spent money to organize the people to build fortifications. And the official roads of the four county towns were widened at great expense, so as to facilitate the supply of strategic materials for the war, and of course, it was also convenient for the people of the four cities to communicate with each other.

In short, if any outsiders enter Xu Jiajun's jurisdiction at this moment, they will find that the people here are in full swing and full of confidence, working overtime to repair and smooth the road. There are also patrols of the Xu family army passing by the road from time to time, and everything seems to be a metaphor for the imminent pace of war.

I am afraid that the common people who want to live a stable life will not like the war, on the contrary, there will be a kind of heartfelt worry. Compared to other rulers, they tried to hide as much as possible from these ordinary people that war was coming.

After Xu Bin completed the formation of the military and political institutions in the four cities and received the support of the majority of the people, he clearly informed the captains of the joint defense teams in each village of the war in Ganzhou. They organize the villagers to appease the emotions of the villagers as much as possible, and villages with conditions can build some basements to store food and money.

This is also to avoid that after the defeat of the Xu family army in the future, those red-eyed revolutionary troops will poison the defenseless people under their rule. It's not like nothing has happened in recent years. Once they enter a state of war, many soldiers are suppressed by the battle damage around them.

Once you are in a situation where no one is in control, the darkest side of the human body will burst out. As a result, the whole village was taken captive and plundered from time to time. With these food and belongings, there are even temporary shelters built in the mountains. There are members of the joint defense team, who are always keeping an eye on the road into the village, and if the situation is not right, they can immediately move around. In short, Xu Bin hopes that when the war comes, the people of the four cities will be able to give those foreign troops a real national war.

In addition to the unified standard Debang rifle, Xu Bin has recently increased the distribution of other types of rifle weapons in the warehouse to his subordinate villages, and the joint defense team of the village has formed a young and strong practice. The aim is to improve the self-protection capacity of these villages. Before it appeared, a small group of deserters mixed in and killed the entire village of unarmed people.

Although this practice of distributing guns to villages for free is a bit dangerous, in Xu Bin's opinion. Today's Longhua people and the Chinese people in the previous life seem to have a characteristic, that is, lack of blood. If it were in peacetime, his method of warfare would undoubtedly make it more difficult for the ruler to manage.

But these were the years of war, and guns played a large role in emboldening courage. Moreover, most of them were trained by the army and were loyal to the Xu family's army, and the joint defense team did a good job in the custody and maintenance of firearms. To a large extent, it can also prevent the occurrence of indiscriminate use of guns.

While he was busy waiting for news from the front line, Xu Bin, who had been staying in the defensive position of Xiangu Mountain recently, suddenly received a telegram from the Ganzhou intelligence force. The four words 'Ganzhou Fall' are clearly written on it, which is enough to prove that the Gannan Army was unable to withstand the offensive of the revolutionary army in the end.

With the receipt of telegrams, and from time to time there were intelligence detachments from Ganzhou to Linzhou, sending the revolutionary army's overwhelming troops into two routes, directly attacking Linzhou and Anzhou, hoping that the power of the great victory of the association would calm the situation in Gannan in one fell swoop. Almost a large part of the Gannan army, which fled from Ganzhou, also entered the territory of Anzhou, and cooperated with the defenders there to begin to prepare to block the attack, creating conditions for the subsequent Gannan army to regroup.

As for the route leading to the Hero City in the direction of Linzhou, the Gannan army seemed to really believe in the Xu family's army, and not a single soldier was sent. If it weren't for the old Uncle Du of Hero City, he sent a message saying that in Changzhou Mansion next door to White Lotus City, the Gannan Army also arranged the defenders of a main division. Xu Bin is afraid that he will really think that this Gannan army is not afraid that he will get out of the way and let the revolutionary army go straight to the capital of Hero City!

If you want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, there is such a haode thing in the world!

Through the military intelligence sent by the intelligence teams distributed in various places, Xu Bin quickly judged the situation. The reason why the Gannan army didn't care about the Linzhou Mansion was, to a large extent, to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

It is hoped that Xu Jiajun will follow up the revolutionary army in Linzhou to the end, and they will attack from behind in one fell swoop when the two sides are fighting to the death. While disintegrating the Xu family's army, he also drove the exhausted revolutionary army out of the border of Linzhou in one fell swoop. The abacus is good, but Xu Bin is not a fool, he can't make wedding dresses for others in vain!

Soon, after judging the military intentions of the Gannan Army, Xu Bin will complete the time for the new troops that have not been tested in battle for about half a year, and all of them will march to Linzhou in the revolutionary army. In one fell swoop, the other three other cities under the rule of Linzhou were pacified, leaving only a county town close to Anzhou, which grabbed the head of the revolutionary army and looted the corrupt officials and local tyrants inside.

Everything that could be used was scavenged by the officers of the Xu Jiajun who led the team. Perhaps the Xu Jiajun started out with bandits, so that the cleanliness of their loot was notoriously fearful. In short, according to Xu Bin's meaning, not a grain of grain can be left for those attacking revolutionary troops.

In addition to looting the materials in these county towns, Xu Bin knew that he was unable to control the remaining three cities except the four cities for the time being. Therefore, while ordering his troops to conquer those county towns, he also quickly sent small detachments to the densely populated towns and villages of each city to inform the people of the four cities that they had not yet realized that the battle had come.

Those who are willing to move out of these four cities and enter the military jurisdiction of the Xu family army should take some things as soon as possible until the other three cities except Orange City live. There will be joint defense team members who will do a good job of receiving and comforting them, and arrange accommodation, food and accommodation for them.

Moreover, this time Xu Bin adopted the strategy of rejecting the enemy outside the city, as long as the Xu family's army was undefeated on the front line, the people in the four cities in the rear would be able to sit back and relax. As for the revolutionary army that infiltrated with small units, there were those village joint defense units whose numbers began to rise to several thousand, which was enough for the spies of the revolutionary army who had figured out that they could not eat and walk.

As for the people who are reluctant to leave, Xu Jiajun, who is short of time and has no time to force it, is not reluctant. Anyway, Xu Bin was temporarily unable to shelter the people of the other four cities, and the fortifications built were more concentrated in the four cities he had won before.

He only hopes that through this kind of propaganda, these people will understand. The Xu family army is an army that only loves the people and protects the people, but because of its lack of strength, it is impossible to protect so many people for the time being. If they are willing to believe them and settle in their strategic rear, then Xu Jiajun will also take care of their food and accommodation, and let them return to their homes and resume production after the war has subsided.

After issuing a series of battle orders that were like fortified walls, Xu Bin sent his father-in-law, Bai Diantang, who was the head of the new second regiment, to lead the new second regiment with him acting as the head for nearly a month. In front of the revolutionary army, the city of Linzhou opposite Xiangu Mountain came to besiege. As a result, what Xu Bin and Bai Diantang didn't expect was that the Linzhou prefect fled without telling him, and he didn't know where to go long ago before he was in Linzhou City.

Zhou Dingbian, the only security regiment commander who remained in Linzhou City, still understood and chose to surrender after seeing the new second regiment full of men and well-equipped, as well as the mortars set up in front of the city gate. Because, he knew that Xu Jiajun had already known about Gan Nanjun's tricks, and he was angry with Linzhou Mansion, which had also become an outcast!

Seeing the White Palace, who broke through the city without fighting and commanded a regiment for the first time, was undoubtedly extremely excited. After ordering the troops to enter the city and not to harass the people, he also met Zhou Dingbian, the former head of the Linzhou Security Corps, who was detained by the soldiers of the Xu family.

Looking at this military governor of a state who used to be respectful and respectful, he became his own prisoner in the blink of an eye, Bai Diantang did not choose to fall into the ground, but instead stepped forward to untie Zhou Dingbian's shackles, patted the head of the security regiment who had a close relationship with him and said: "Brother Zhou, I offended you a lot just now, and I made you suffer!" ”

For Bai Diantang's slightly sincere daoqian, Zhou Dingbian smiled bitterly: "Commander Bai, Zhou is already a prisoner of your army, and I hope it will be for our sake." Let these brothers under my command live, okay? ”

Bai Diantang shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou is too worried, although you are the military and political governor of Linzhou, according to the rules, we want to liquidate you." However, I have already talked to Master Xu before I came, and I have something about you.

At that time, Master Xu said that if you can take care of the safety of the people in the city, do not do things that kill each other, and hand over the dirty money you have obtained from embezzlement over the years, it can give you and your subordinates a chance to atone for their sins. I believe that I don't need to say it, Brother Zhou also knows that our biggest enemies now are not each other but the upcoming revolutionary army.

Think about it, if you fall into those people, you probably won't be able to save all the corpses, right? Moreover, according to the report of our intelligence department, the prefect of Ningzhou and the head of the security regiment before our Linzhou were shot by the revolutionary army in the name of corrupt officials and corrupt warlord leaders after the surrender of Xiancheng.

Brother Zhou thinks that if you fall into their hands, how much better will you end up than the two in Ningzhou? If you believe in your brother's words, you might as well think about joining the Xu Jiajun to fight side by side with your brother. I remember that when you and I first met at the foot of Xiangu Mountain, I also lamented that it was difficult for soldiers and bandits to become a family.

Now that my brother and I are also an official soldier, you don't have to work hard for the Gannan army who regarded Linzhou as an abandoned city, everyone worked together to ensure the safety of the people on this side, wouldn't it better reflect the benevolence of the people in my generation? As long as you are willing to join, I can intercede with Commander Xu and let you lead your troops into battle to kill the enemy. Others don't know, but I know that Brother Zhou, your military level is a hundred times stronger than that of my brother. Don't you think it's a pity to waste it like this? ”

When taking over the task of attacking Linzhou Mansion, Bai Diantang specially talked to Xu Bin about this brother who had been married in private. Compared with his background in the green forest, marching and fighting are more self-promoting.

Zhou Dingbian, the head of the security regiment in front of him, really participated in the war to overthrow the Longhua Dynasty, as well as the battle of Zuihou Ning Qingyuan United Front Gannan. Zuihou relied on his military exploits to serve as the military governor of this state. If you don't have some command ability and blood, you naturally can't be the head of this security regiment with a lot of weight!

It is clear that what Xu Jiajun lacks most now is a general like Zhou Dingbian, and Bai Diantang is really unwilling to let Zhou Dingbian waste the skills he has learned in the army. Only then did he decide to persuade Zhou Dingbian to join the team of the Xu family, and lay a peaceful paradise for the people of this side in the future.
