Zhou Wei listened to the entire gossip from beginning to end, and immediately came to three conclusions:

First, if the bandits dare to attack a heavily fortified city, there is only one reason, someone is in the city to respond;

Second, the bandits are still in tandem, indicating that they will not be able to attack in the short term;

Third, the mastermind of this matter must be one or a group of people who have suffered from the interests of political reform.

Zhou also proposed three countermeasures:

First, find out the traitor, if there is no accident, the person who responds and the mastermind should be the same person;

second, luring the snake out of the hole, deliberately showing weakness, not only did not reclaim the various departments, but instead made the illusion of Jingzhou's emptiness to lure the enemy into the bait;

Third, the plan will be calculated, using the traitor or the mastermind, setting up an ambush, and killing all the bandits who threaten the trade road in Xiangxi.

After hearing this, Wang Zhenyu was immediately overjoyed, and left his seat to hug Zhou Huan's arms and said, "Mr. is really talented!" I just saw it today, it was Wang who was negligent, and made amends, and tonight Wang was the east, and everyone had a light meal together. ”

After dinner, Liu Xing was appointed lieutenant colonel and captain of the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters, Zhou Wei was appointed deputy captain of the major, and the special service company, teaching team, and reconnaissance company were all merged into the brigade. At the same time, the errand of finding the traitor was handed over to this brigade.

Many years later, Zhou Hui, who was already in a high position, recalled this period from the top student of the No. 3 Middle School of the Army to a fugitive wanted by the Hunan Governor's Office, and then to a major officer of the Tiger Brigade, plus the glorious years of steady progress since then, he couldn't help but sigh: "Life is ups and downs, unpredictable, if there is no Wang Shuai in this life, even if I have great talent, it is just like this." ”

The grace of knowing the encounter has to be repaid. After changing from a fugitive to a dignified major officer of the Tiger Brigade, Zhou Wei immediately began the screening work. He immediately transferred 60 very inconspicuous young men from the training team, the spy company, and the reconnaissance company, and after dressing up in disguise, he did not explain the task, that is, he sent them to the teahouses, brothels and other public places in the city.

For a few days, there was no reliable news, and Liu Xing was a little anxious: "Brother Zhou Bin, this is the first errand our brother has done in the Tiger Brigade, if it is done badly, then this face will be lost." ”

Zhou Huan drank a cup of rice wine, then took a peanut with chopsticks and threw it in his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "Brother Liu, you are also concerned about yourself, firstly, you and the brigade commander are relatives, and secondly, what are you worried about when I do things?" ”

Liu Xing rolled his eyes angrily at Zhou Bin's indifferent look, and stamped his feet away, he had the kung fu to rub his tongue with this bastard, it was much better to discuss strategy and tactics with Li Zongren.

Today is the first regular meeting of the parliament, and many people have gone to observe. After listening to it, I listened to it and blew it while drinking in the teahouse, after all, the parliament is really a little fresh. "This council is really not blown, see it, even the newly appointed police chief is polite to the councilors, and he can answer whatever he asks." A middle-aged man in a turban was the first to come out and talk about the topic. "Third Brother Wang, don't say it, it's the first time I've grown so big. Moreover, this council is really different from the yamen of the past, and the yamen of the past knew how to apportionment and urge donations. This council is so good that it actually wants to run a school hall and a medical center, and it also says that it wants to do free education, so that everyone's children can have books, which is really a good thing. Another middle-aged man, who was slightly shorter, asked. I see, nine times out of ten, this is true, I tell you, do you know who handed over this case? That was proposed by Wang Zuhui, the patriarch of our Wang family, and it wasn't me who blew it. The leaders of the seven major groups of this council, as far as our patriarch is a regional councilor, the others are either chambers of commerce or prestige. "The man who was called Third Brother Wang said proudly." Third Brother Wang, what is a regional councilor......" Looking at the enthusiastic discussion at the middle table, the three men with meaty faces at the outer table seemed to be very unhappy. "These bastards, now they're proud." One of them was stout and almost had a seizure on the spot.

The two men beside him hurriedly grabbed him: "Second Brother Huang, don't be impulsive, don't spoil the boss's good deeds." The man who was called Second Brother Huang sat down indignantly, and did not forget to say: "Don't look at them having fun today, let's pull the list tomorrow." The other two persuaded a few more words, and Second Brother Huang was relieved.

They didn't notice that behind them, leaning against the table in the corner, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of a young man who was not good-looking. Then, nothing happened, and the young man continued to bury his head in eating.

If Second Brother Huang knew the identity of this young man, he must have regretted his impulsiveness.

This young man's name is Hu Fulin, a native of Baoqing, not very old, exactly twenty this year, but his personality is very mature. He doesn't talk much, but he is very observant and more analytical. Such a person was assigned to the teaching team, so the tragedy was that compared to the muscles, this benevolent brother was the first; Compared with leading soldiers, how can people who don't talk much talk about affinity and command, and communicating with soldiers is a problem. Therefore, Hu Fulin stayed in the teaching team for three months, and most of the people who entered the same batch went to be platoon commanders, but Hu Fulin was left behind and became a nominal deputy squad leader.

If it weren't for his rustic appearance that was very in line with Zhou Li's selection criteria, Hu Fulin's fate would probably be finalized, and he would really not be able to mix in the teaching team. Then he was assigned to the security forces as a junior officer, and after his service, he returned to his hometown, continued to farm, and put his hope in the next generation, which is the life of most people.

It's just that this Hu Fulin has Wang Baoqiang's luck, and it is also a talent to the extreme, and he is one of the investigators this time. And the person who caught the big fish happened to be him, and the legend of a spy leader began......

Hu Fulin did not rush back to report, but quietly followed Huang Erge and his party until they arrived at Huang Jianxiong's house, and then slowly went back to see Zhou Hui. "Good, good, good" After listening to Hu Fulin's report, Zhou Wei was overjoyed, the recent pressure is too great, knowing the existence of the enemy, but he has not been able to catch the tail, and now he has finally found it, naturally it is three good words in one go.

Liu Xing immediately prepared to mobilize people to arrest people, but was stopped by Zhou Bin: "Don't worry, the boiled duck can't fly, take Xiaohu, let's go to see the commander." Wang Zhenyu listened to Zhou Bin's report, and Liu Xing's reaction was the same: Since you found it, then report a fart, Weishenme won't arrest people?

Zhou Wei asked Wang Zhenyu very boldly at this time: "Commander, do you plan to slowly exterminate these bandits in the future?" Or solve the problem all at once. This is a question in Wang Zhenyu's heart, the wolf disaster has been solved, and now the biggest problem in Jingzhou is banditry. Although he can solve the problem of the people in the jurisdiction by dividing dividends in the business town, he is really at a loss for what to do outside the jurisdiction. I can't take a large number of people to Liu Xianshi's territory in Guizhou and say, Liu Dudu, I came in to fight bandits, and I will leave after the fight. You ask people if Liu Xianshi believes it or not?

But recruiting these bandits in and exterminating them is another matter. The people under your jurisdiction in Guizhou voluntarily emigrated, you can't trouble me.

Wang Zhenyu is also a smart person, and when Zhou Huan asked him this, he immediately figured out the problem.

He turned the pencil in his hand, stared at Zhou Bin's eyes with his eyes, and told Zhou Wei word by word: "I will leave this matter to you to deal with." Zhou Wei solemnly saluted Wang Zhenyu: "Yes."

When the three of them were about to walk out of the door, Wang Zhenyu spoke again: "I plan to open a cement factory in Jingzhou, and I also want to repair the road, these are all labor-intensive, and it would be nice if there was free labor." Director Zhou, did you say? "Director Zhou? Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, isn't he the deputy captain? How did you become a director?

Wang Zhenyu likes to see Zhou Bin, a smart person, deflated, because this is very fulfilling, he doesn't explain, waves his hand, and lets them leave.

A day later, Zhao Dongsheng came to Wang Zhenyu and sent an order: "Zhou Wei is hereby appointed as the lieutenant colonel of the Military Intelligence Division of the Jingzhou Garrison Command."

Hu Fulin, who made great contributions, was also promoted to lieutenant and was subordinate to the Military Intelligence Department......

Zhou Wei was suddenly excited, and immediately began to set up operations day and night, he kept Wang Zhenyu's words in mind, the commander needs a lot of free labor......

Zhou Wei had already caught Huang Jianxiong's tail, but Yang Shouyin and Yang Dawang would not be so smooth.

The time has entered the middle and late May, although he is old, Yang Shouyin has worked tirelessly, still insists on participating in community work, walking the streets and households, and writing blank checks from mountain to mountain. After a lot of effort, with enough attractive promises and the prestige of the old-timers, except for a few families who had old grudges and were unwilling to partner up, the old comrade Yang Shouyin finally gathered dozens of large and small shili in the entire southeast Guizhou region.

Because the profit is distributed according to the head, in terms of the number of people, the number of these leaders is somewhat false, and in total, there are more than 30,000 people. But it doesn't matter, Yang Shouyin estimated that 30,000 is definitely not available, but 10,000 people are indispensable.

It is said that the Ninth Brigade, which originally had only more than 4,000 men, has recently moved quite a lot, and the three main regiments have been sent to the three counties of Huitong, Tongtong, and Suining to assist in the formation of a security detachment. Regardless of him, in short, there are less than a thousand troops left in Jingzhou City.

It's less than one-tenth of your own, so what are you afraid of, they're piled up with people.

Yang Shouyin's thinking is really simple, after all, he has been going around in this mountain all his life, and the most powerful officers and soldiers he has encountered are just local garrisons. Moreover, the local garrison is also very slippery, even if they drive you into the mountains, they will not enter the mountains even if they die. Of course, this is not entirely for the sake of raising bandits, but these professional bandits are like fish in water when they get to the mountains. At this time, if you venture into the pursuit, the problem will change from how to catch up to how not to be overcome.

After a long time, Yang Shouyin, who was sitting in the well and watching the sky, felt that the army outside the mountain was nothing more than that. He always said when he met people: If it weren't for the fact that there was a Cai Juxian in Hongjiang who was really good at fighting, with the 3,000 men and horses in his hand, he Yang Shouyin would have been killed from the mountains and entered the city to become the king.

Now that Hongjiang has established the fifth provincial garrison area, Cai Juxian can't control the affairs of Jingzhou Mansion, and the Baojing Town Guard Embassy, who manages Jingzhou Mansion, actually sent a young man who is not good at handling affairs to be the commander of the garrison (Huang Jianxiong), then my old Yang is welcome, kill!
