After Ning Qingyuan made up his mind to ask Xu Bin to understand, to find out where he lost, he was really unwilling to rule Gannan, who had ruled for nearly ten years, and gave it to a bandit leader who was still underage. But the facts in front of him told him that even if he stuck to the hero city, he had a poor chance of winning in the end.

In the face of this kind of must-lose battle to defend the city, Ning Qingyuan put on the governor's military uniform that he hadn't worn for a long time, and under the protection of the chief of the secret service, he came to the main gate of the hero city and took the officer's horn and said: "I am Ning Qingyuan, the governor of Gannan, and let your commander Xu Bin come over to speak." ”

Seeing Ning Qingyuan appear in the city, he also named his surname to see him, looking at Ning Qingyuan, who still refused to bow his head, Xu Bin directly instructed Xu Jiacheng: "Tell this guy, I don't like to look up and talk to others, if he wants to talk to me, go out of the city by himself!" I won't do anything to hurt his life until the conditions are met.

If he doesn't even have the guts to go out of the city and talk to me, then there is no need to talk about it and start fighting. Anyway, I'm wasting some shells at most, don't rush! ”

The officers and men of the two armies who have been paying attention to this negotiation, after hearing Xu Jiacheng's indifferent words, the soldiers of Xu Jiajun undoubtedly feel that Xu Bin is domineering. Even the former governor of Gannan ignored him if he wanted to talk to him. Of course, they also knew that at this time, Ning Qingyuan was still planning to put the governor's score, and it was indeed a little rude to condescendingly talk to Xu Bin.

In fact, for the officers and soldiers of the Xu family besieging the city, this attack has come to this point, and the military spirit of the Gannan army has been scattered and collapsed, and it is impossible to form a liliang to resist the Xu family army at all. If it weren't for the accidental injury of the people in the city, Xu Bin could have directly shelled and attacked the city without giving Ning Qingyuan a chance to surrender. It's only a matter of time before you take the City of Heroes!

In the face of Xu Bin, he was not even in the mood to come forward to reply. Directly sent an officer beside him to reply, and Ning Qingyuan knew about this young man. It was more difficult than he thought. For the officers and secret service chiefs around him, he said angrily that he had fought with Xu Jiajun. In any case, don't let Ning Qingyuan take this risk.

At this moment, Ning Qingyuan, who suddenly regained his calm thinking, said very directly: "You really have the ability to resist the siege of the Xu family's army?" If not, then don't say more, it's not easy for you to fight with me. I will beg for you to let the army live. Remember, it is now that we ask of Him, not of Him.

If you had had this loyalty, we would not have ended up in the lonely city we are today. Forget it, anyway, I am also the governor appointed by the Liuyang government. He didn't dare to do anything murderous to me. Otherwise, if he wants to mix in Longhua in the future, he will be boycotted by other governors. ”

Leaving this sentence, Ning Qingyuan also calmly ordered the officers and soldiers defending under the city gate to open the city gate, and walked calmly and calmly in front of the siege troops of the Xu family army with the only special agent chief who dared to go out of the city with him.

Facing the officer who shouted just now, he politely stepped forward and saluted: "On the order of Commander Xu, Xu Jiacheng asked Governor Ning to go over and talk about it." As for Director Liu, if he is not afraid. You can also go with you. ”

The director of the secret service knew that anyone could leave Ning Qingyuan, but he couldn't. Because, what he served in the Gannan Army was a knife in Ning Qingyuan's hand. If he didn't have Ning Qingyuan's protection, not only these Xu family soldiers would kill him. Even those Gannan officers who defected to Xu Jiajun would not let him end well.

I never thought about Xu Jiajun. Even the surname of this special service chief, who is rarely exposed to outsiders, knows everything, Ning Qingyuan looked at this resolute officer. He said with interest: "Little brother, how did you know that my subordinate is surnamed Liu?" ”

Regarding this question, Xu Jiacheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe Director Liu doesn't know. Back then, when I was in the City of Heroes, I also dealt with your secret service. Others don't know, but Director Liu, the cadre next to Governor Ning, how can we not pay attention to it! Governor Ning, please! ”

Leaving behind a sentence that ordered Director Liu to go up and down, Xu Jiacheng took the governor who was about to decide the fate of Hero City to a temporary table with ammunition boxes that was temporarily set up outside the encirclement.

On these bullet box medicines, a bottle of liquor from Gannan and a few wine glasses had already been placed, and Xu Bin stood in front of the simple table with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Governor Ning, although you and I have long known each other, this is really the first time we have met. It is really helpless to meet in such a situation. Xu prepared a little thin wine, if Governor Ning didn't dislike it, how about drinking a cup with Xu? ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to pick up the liquor bottle, only filled the two glasses with wine, and took the initiative to hand a glass to Ning Qingyuan, who didn't understand why Xu Bin did this. When Ning Qingyuan took the wine glass, Xu Bin said with a smile: "When we met for the first time, Xu Mou, as a junior student, would do it first as a respect!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ning Qingyuan to answer, Xu Bin had already drunk the wine in the cup with a smile. Seeing this action, Ning Qingyuan also felt that this young man looked younger than his son, but this kind of general demeanor was undoubtedly revealed. This alone can also be seen that the other party can develop and grow Xu Jiajun to this point in a short period of time, and it is conceivable that he also has a certain ability!

Ignoring the worried eyes of the director of the secret service, Ning Qingyuan said, 'Losing to you, it seems that you are really not wronged', and drank the wine in the cup with bitterness. Then he looked at Xu Bin quietly, ready to talk to him about something.

Maybe it was because he saw the end of Ning Qingyuan's hero, that he really showed his true heroic qualities, Xu Bin, who had never thought of killing him from the beginning, smiled and said: "Governor Ning, what do you think is the most rewarding thing for you in the years you have been in charge of Gannan?" ”

The most rewarding thing!

This question was asked very suddenly, and Ning Qingyuan didn't know how to answer it. Do you say that it has created a Gannan Army that rejected the revolutionary army in the front and the Qiantang Army and the Donghu Army in the reject? But this is an achievement, and the facts now don't tell him that the thing he is most proud of has been ruthlessly shattered?

Just when Ning Qingyuan was digging out his thoughts, Xu Bin said very seriously: "I don't think Governor Ning should be able to think of it!" Then let me, the people under your rule in the past, give you an evaluation of your merits and deeds in Gannan. How is it? ”

Ning Qingyuan heard this and said, "Please speak!" ”

'Since the end of the Longhua Dynasty, with the prestige of a division commander of the Protector Army, you have marched into Gannan to clear the new imperial army in Gannan. You are the people of Gannan and put an end to the rule of the feudal dynasty, which can also be said to have an indelible credit.

During your first three years as the governor of Gannan, you showed compassion for the poverty of the people of Gannan and resolutely implemented a low tax policy for the people, which allowed the people of Gannan to survive the most difficult years. There are still many people in Gannan at this point, remember this kindness of yours, which can also be regarded as one of your achievements.

After a few years of happiness and stability for the people of Gannan, you have built an army that other warlords dare not set foot in Gannan, so that while the areas controlled by other warlords are fighting each other, Gannan enjoys a rare peaceful life. This can also be one of your achievements.

After talking about these three achievements, what do you think you feel guilty about to the people of Gannan? ’

In the face of Xu Bin giving him such a fair evaluation, Ning Qingyuan was also grateful for what he said in his heart. Because Xu Bin really didn't erase the exploits he had done to Gannan over the years, but after the merits were finished, he said that he felt guilty, which really made Ning Qingyuan a little confused about what Xu Bin wanted to say to him.

As if knowing that Ning Qingyuan was not interested in these things, Xu Bin continued: "If you say that in the first few years of your reign in Gannan, the people of Gannan should remember your kindness. Then in the last years of your reign in Gannan, the people of Gannan will remember your vengeance. You who have put most of your attention down to the army seem to have forgotten that you are the supreme leader of the Gannan military and government.

Under your rule, corrupt officials are rampant, and you, as a governor, know nothing. As a result, the people of Gannan have just breathed a sigh of relief, and they have fallen into the high-pressure tax policy with many changes and names. This is a dereliction of duty for you, and it is also one of the guiltes for the people of Gannan.

In order to expand the army, he sold Gannan tariffs and minerals in exchange for military aid from the people of the United States, not to mention losing the faith of the soldiers, and it was also a practice that was irresponsible to the people of Gannan. This is your second guilt for Gannan.

In order to ensure your position as governor and resist the invasion of the warlords, regardless of the opposition of the people, you have never thought of rectifying military discipline, so that the Gannan army is in some places, and the people are more hateful than the bandits, which is your third guilt for the people of Gannan.

Regarding these merits and demerits I made, Governor Ning thinks that Xu Mou is wrong? Do you still think that the Gannan Army led by you lost to the Xu Jiajun led by me, and there is really no reason why you have caused today's consequence?

Although I am a latecomer, as a Gannan native, it is impossible for me to sit idly by and ignore the dire life of my hometown parents. So, you don't have to feel too ashamed to lose to me, in fact, it's more that you lose to yourself! ”

I have never understood why he lost to Ning Qingyuan, who had only been in the army for less than two years before he became an army, and only then did he understand that the pampered governor lived. Let him forget the habit of doing things himself when he first became the governor, and he is more willing to sit in the governor's palace and enjoy the feeling of being under the command from above.

But it never occurred to him that his self-confessed loyal subordinates were bent on how to fool him, the governor. When Xu Bin saw Gannan with thousands of holes, he sat in the governor's palace but thought that Gannan was calm. The words of this 'gentle township is a hero's mound' are not false at all in his current end!

Losing to a Gannan man who assessed him as a meritorious, Ning Qingyuan suddenly felt unjust. If he had known about this earlier, maybe he wouldn't be in such a situation today. But there is no regret medicine in this world, what he wants to know now is what kind of sentence Xu Bin will make to him, the governor! (To be continued......)
