After convincing these military advisers of the German State who had experience in the war, Xu Bin soon made the Xiangu Mountain, where Baijiazhai was located, the location of the exercise. As the only bandit cottage that remained in Orange City, because of Bai Mulan's relationship, Xu Bin didn't do anything with them. In addition, the reason why he has not moved is also to hope that Bai Diantang can take the initiative to choose to join the Xu family's army.

If he invited him as a son-in-law, he believed that Bai Diantang would agree, but the price he needed to pay would definitely not be small. didn't want this kind of kinship to affect Xu Jiajun's tradition of promotion through military merits, so Xu Bin never moved Baijiazhai to make any moves.

The purpose of choosing Xiangu Mountain as the location of the exercise this time is also very clear, that is, to hope that this is the most populous bandit cottage in Orange City. can see the reality clearly, and there is no way out when you become a bandit. Another purpose is that the location of Xiangu Mountain is the necessary place to hold the Linzhou Mansion and the county towns under the rule of Juxiang City and White Lotus City.

If the revolutionary army wants to attack Juxiang City, then the official road under Xiangu Mountain is the only way for them. Unless they were willing to give up the large number of artillery and ordnance that accompanied the army, in addition to this official road, if they wanted to enter Orange City, they would have to make a detour of at least three days to enter Orange City from the side of Hero City.

This is undoubtedly a reality that the revolutionary army, which needs to quickly resolve the situation in Gannan, is also unwilling to accept. Then once the situation in Ganzhou Mansion is not good, and the revolutionary army that has been marching straight into it for the sake of safety, Baijiazhai will also become the target of their co-optation or suppression.

In addition, the other side of Xiangu Mountain is Linzhou Mansion, if Xiangu Mountain can be built into a forward defense formation set up by the Xu family army around Orange City. This means that the Xu family army has a strategic place that can be attacked and defended.

Coupled with the training mountain of the current soldiers, another road leading to the outside of Linzhou Mansion is guarded. As long as Xu Jiajun completes the offensive and defensive arrangements for Xiangu Mountain, then Linzhou Mansion is a piece of meat on his lips, and he can eat it whenever he wants.

Considering the urgency of the matter, Xu Bin once again came to Baijiazhai with the guards overnight to visit, this prospective father-in-law who seemed to be not concerned about the future at all. Similarly, for the visit of Xu Bin, the son-in-law who has now become the emperor of Juxiang City, Bai Diantang, whose news channels are not slow, know that the conversation between their sons-in-law this time is likely to determine the future direction of Baijiazhai.

Looking at this selected prospective son-in-law, who has been in the Orange City during this time, Bai Diantang is also happy to be honest. If he was the head of an ordinary family, maybe he could take refuge in Xu Bin without saying a word. He also believes that with Xu Bin's friendship for his daughter, he will not treat him badly as a father-in-law.

But the problem now is that he still has more than a thousand brothers who eat with him to arrange. And at present, although most of the people in Baijiazhai want to join the Xu family's army, there are also old bandits in Baijiazhai who are unwilling to be managed by the regular army.

These old bandits have all paid for the Bai family, and Bai Diantang can't hurt their hearts too much as a big boss. Therefore, he had to take care of the emotions of these old people, so that he endured it all the time, waiting for Xu Bin's son-in-law to come to the door.

Seeing Xu Bin, who took hundreds of guards up the mountain overnight, Bai Diantang knew that things were not trivial. As for that daughter, she went to Xu Bin's side before she got married, and she also went up the mountain to persuade him to take people down the mountain to join the Xu family's army.

As a result, Bai Diantang refused at that time, and let this precious daughter, whose heart fell all on Xu Bin, go down the mountain with a belly of anger. Until today, when Xu Bin went up the mountain, when this girl saw Bai Diantang, she was not as close as last time, but instead ran to the backyard after humming a few words to visit her mother and her younger brother.

Looking at the baby daughter who was still angry, Bai Diantang also said with an embarrassed face: "Xiaobin, I finally understand now, why the old man said, 'The woman is not left, stay here and stay to become an enemy.'" 'This girl hasn't passed the door yet, and for the sake of your husband, she hates my own father. ”

Regarding Bai Diantang's ridicule, Xu Bin said with a smile: "Aunt said that she was funny, Mulan just loves face, and I don't know what she told her uncle last time." It wasn't until she returned to the city from here, looking sullen, that I learned that she had persuaded her uncle to take someone down the mountain to be reorganized. In this regard, I am also very clear that my uncle's cottage is different from other cottages.

And I know my uncle's personality, I believe this matter is also a dilemma for my uncle, right? However, I visited overnight today, just to ask my uncle in person, do you still plan to keep this piece of land in Xiangu Mountain? ”

Knowing that Xu Bin is not a person who likes to twist and turn, Bai Diantang looked a little puzzled and said: "Weishenme can't be kept?" This is a cottage run by my Bai family for several generations, how can it be said that it will be lost? Is it possible, Xiaobin, you have taken a fancy to my territory, are you ready to accept it? ”

Xu Bin didn't speak, beckoned to Xu Jiacheng, the personal guard beside him, and quickly handed over a topographical map of Gannan. Pointing to the place of Ganzhou Mansion, he said, "Uncle, I believe that with your news channel, you should not know it." Now the army of Gannan Province is here, and there is a fierce exchange of fire with the revolutionary army in Nanhama, right? What do you think are the chances of the Gannan Army winning this time? ”

Bai Diantang looked at the map and continued to pretend to be stupid: "They beat them, what is the matter with my Baijiazhai?" I'm just a bandit leader, but I can't worry about such a big thing. ”

Xu Bin smiled noncommittally: "Really? According to the feedback from the intelligence unit I sent to the local area, the current situation of the battle between the Gannan Army and the Revolutionary Army. For the time being, the two armies can be described as half a pound and eight taels, and the Gannan Army has the advantage of terrain and is fighting on the ground, which can withstand the menacing revolutionary army.

But this is a counterattack battle that the revolutionary army has been preparing for many years, and it will definitely not stop easily if it does not achieve its goal. As the main grain producing area of Longhua State, Gannan is a territory that the revolutionary army cannot give up. Once the Gannan army on the front line is unable to follow, the revolutionary army that has been driving straight into the country will arrive at the central hinterland of Gannan in a few days, that is, Linzhou Mansion, which is not far from your Baijiazhai.

The revolutionary army that took the Linzhou Mansion, if it wants to continue to advance north, will definitely enter the city of orange. And you should know that I have spent so much effort to build the current territory, and I will definitely not allow outsiders to rob me of my fruit. Once I raise my troops to fight back, where do you think the forward position they are most likely to seize?

The training mountain is already my territory, and a complete fortification has been built, and the revolutionary army will pay a heavy price if it wants to pass it. Then the revolutionary army that can't pass through the training mountain, and the place where they can still think of entering Orange City, I'm afraid it is also my uncle's Xiangu Mountain. Do you think that with the fortifications of your cottage now, uncle, can resist the attack of the revolutionary army with a whole regiment of artillery?

Even if I don't start with Xiangu Mountain in advance for Mulan's sake, how long do you think you can keep this piece of land? And the combat principles of the revolutionary army, I believe you have also heard of it. For bandits like us, the policy they adopt can be described as killing without surrender, and there is no other way to go. If you choose to surrender, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape their plunder. Are you willing to do that? ”

The circulation of intelligence is not as fast as the Xu family's army, and after listening to Xu Bin's analysis, I also feel that if it is really as Xu Bin said. Then the Xiangu Mountain selected by the ancestors of Baijiazhai was a treasure land of feng shui for robbery back then. But in this kind of war period, it has also become a battleground for soldiers.

Armed with guerrilla bandits like theirs, they are no match for a regular army armed with artillery and fighting in regularized groups. If they don't want to be annihilated, they will either disband as soon as possible, or they will have to surrender all their weapons and wealth and surrender to the revolutionary army. One is not good, and it is possible that because of their background, they will be liquidated and shot by the people of the revolutionary army.

Bai Diantang, who looked a little worried, suddenly sighed and said, "Our Gannan Army, really can't defeat those revolutionary party troops?" ”

Xu Bin knew that Bai Diantang also understood the seriousness of the matter, and nodded: "Although I didn't come to the battlefield in person, the comparison of the strength of the two armies from the intelligence forces was fed back. The strength of the Gannan Army on the Ganzhou front line was less than two to one with the revolutionary army. Moreover, the revolutionary army, Gannan transferred two regiment-level artillery units to this campaign.

Although the Gannan Army had the advantage of terrain and soldiers, it was much inferior to the well-prepared revolutionary army in terms of artillery possession. Now that Ning Qingyuan's henchmen are on the front line, they can ensure a balanced battle. Once the battle continues, I dare say that it will definitely be the Gannan Army that will collapse first.

From the attack launched by the revolutionary army this time, they divided their troops into two routes and gathered nearly 200,000 troops to attack Gannan and Donghu respectively. Coupled with the military aid support of the Sun Country, I think it will definitely be the Gannan Army that can't stand it in the end. You know, the leader of the revolutionary army can threaten to attack the core position of the Liuyang government, Zhongyuan Dao, before he stops!

He wanted to form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south of Longhua and prepare for the next step of unifying the whole country. If he can't achieve his goal, do you think he will give up? ”

From the Nanbin newspapers he collected, Xu Bin also felt that the ambition of the father of the revolution was so great. In addition, what made him sigh was that the experience of this revolutionary father and the Mr. Sun Cannon in his previous life seemed to be surprisingly imaginative.

It's just that the reason why Xu Bin is reluctant to choose to join the revolutionary army is to a large extent the supporting country behind the revolutionary army, which is actually the Sun Country he hates the most. You must know that this is the feud of every Chinese iron-blooded soldier who can't wait to fight to the death. Even if it has now changed its vest and become the Sun Country.

But from the Shijie map, Xu Bin could see at a glance that this Sun Country was the Devil Country in his previous life. In this time and space, you can still meet these disgusting guys, if Xu Bin doesn't compete with each other, he is too sorry for the predecessors of the Anti-Japanese War who died in his previous life. With this decision, Xu Bin is destined to be impossible to urinate in the same pot with the revolutionary army.

Therefore, this feud will end sooner or later, and the only thing that worries him is that the timing of this war is very unfavorable to Xu Jiajun. If he could be one to two years later, then he could have trained a modern army of tens of thousands of people. When the time comes, in the face of these warlords in Longhua, he also has room for maneuver.

Now he includes the troops that are still training, and he is only in his early 8,000s, of which nearly 3,000 are new recruits. If this strength wants to fight against the menacing revolutionary army of 100,000 troops, it is indeed a bit difficult!
