Chapter 118: Situ Baili
Declined the hospitality of Ning Qingyuan, the governor of Gannan, Situ Baili just got off the boat and chatted with the warlord who controlled Gannan. Under the pretext that he hadn't been home for many years and wanted to rush home to see his parents, he re-boarded the ferry to send him back and slowly continued in the direction of Linzhou.
Looking at the ferry sailing in the direction of Linzhou Mansion, the senator standing beside Ning Qingyuan looked a little puzzled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, this Situ Baili seems to have taken the wrong way to go home, right?" Isn't his ship closer to Anzhou when he sails to Ganzhou? How did you enter the Linsha River waterway? Could it be that he went to the surname Xu? ”
As if frightened by his own speculation, the senator also looked a little unnatural when he said his surname Xu. Because he knew very well that the governor in front of him was angry that the Xu family army had occupied the Linzhou Mansion. What made Ning Qingyuan most unhappy was that the territory was robbed, and he couldn't do anything to the other party. This made him feel very aggrieved!
Fortunately, the governor seemed to be very deep in the city, and said lightly: "Situ Baili is a great talent, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era, and his set of people-first theory, no one must be willing to accept it." If the surnamed Xu really took in Situ Baili, I am afraid it is impossible to keep a low profile. Although Situ Baili was accompanied by a few disciples, his influence was no less than that of a governor!
In other words, your surname is Xu, are you willing to put such an influential person in the army to share power and profit with yourself? He will return home from Linzhou, and he doesn't want to deal with the revolutionary army in Ganzhou! I heard that before Situ Baili entered the military academy, he had a relationship with Guo Tianyou for a while, but then the two fell out because of political discord.
Now that he has fallen to this point, if it weren't for his prestige in the domestic army, I'm afraid I wouldn't have needed to greet him in person like this. Forget it, what does he like to do, this kind of big man is honest, I'm really a little worried that I won't be able to hold back if I really join the Gannan Army! ”
When Ning Qingyuan told about his analysis of Situ Baili, he was actually a little worried in his heart, if the other party really got together with Xu Jiajun. That's really not a good thing for Gannan.
What especially worries him is that from the current style of Xu Jiajun's behavior, it seems that he is too cruel and greedy to treat the hostile Shili Xu Jiajun, but he seems to be very protective of the people under his rule. If such an army, which has the support of the local people, really comes together with Situ Baili, then for the Gannan army, I am afraid that it will be more harmful than good!
Ning Qingyuan's worries would naturally not be known to outsiders, if it weren't for the fear of killing Situ Baili and causing a bad impact. I'm afraid it's not him, many warlords will attack him. It's a pity that the officers taught by this person are now mixed in with various warlord units in the country, and some of them are even in such a high position as division commanders.
Although these students usually don't have much contact with him, these officers still keep in mind the nurturing grace of this principal. If they knew that Situ Baili was assassinated in Gannan, it is estimated that Gannan would also become a hateful unit for those officers who graduated from the Longcheng Military Academy.
Ning Qingyuan didn't want to provoke the resentment of so many people, so even if Situ Baili refused to accompany him to have a meal, it made him feel very shameless. can only send each other with a smile, as much as possible to show the generosity and tolerance that a governor should have.
Situ Baili, who left the port of Hero City and successfully entered the waters of the Linsha River, told the student Zhou Dingbian in his letter that Xu Jiajun was the most special and people-oriented army he had ever seen since joining the army. Situ Baili also wanted to see for himself what was so special about this Xu Jiajun, who had fought the revolutionary army and rejected the Gannan army after fighting the army.
can do such an influential thing in one place. Especially since the other party was also born as a bandit, Situ Baili felt that if this person could develop. If there is a public heart, it is the blessing of the people of Longhua, if behind its love for the people, there is an unknown sinister intention.
Then in the near future, I am afraid that there will be another hero. This will be another catastrophe for the already fragmented Longhua Kingdom, which is already divided by warlords!
When he arrived at the port of Orange City with a stomach full of doubts and worries, he felt a little surprised. At the dock of the port, there were only Zhou Dingbian, a student he had led, and a team of ten people.
Judging from the state of the soldiers in this small army, Situ Baili felt that if all the soldiers of the Xu family army had such a temperament. Then the leader of the Xu family's army, who was born as a bandit, is really a talent for training soldiers.
Walking down from the ferry, Situ Baili looked at the disciple who had changed into another set of military uniforms again, and said happily: "Dingbian, goodbye to the past, you and I haven't seen each other for five years, right?" Unexpectedly, five years ago you were a regimental commander, and now you are still a regimental commander. It doesn't seem to have grown much! ”
In front of these taught students, Situ Baili seemed very cordial, and he would not show a condescending attitude when talking to these students. On the contrary, he was able to mingle with these students regardless of the other party's background, and get the respect and admiration of these students from the bottom of their hearts.
Facing the instructor who gave him guidance and comfort, Zhou Dingbian looked very embarrassed and said: "I disappointed the instructor!" ”
Regarding Zhou Dingbian's crisp answer now, Situ Baili smiled and said, "You kid still has that expression, you don't know how to joke at all." However, as the Supreme Commander of a regiment, being cautious may be your greatest strength, but also your disadvantage. It's up to you, kid, how much you can accomplish here in the future.
By the way, is this your subordinate? It seems that the spirit is good, if you Xu Jiajun have this quality, then it is indeed worthy of a strong army! ”
Pointing to the ten-person team standing behind Zhou Dingbian, Situ Baili asked with interest. In this regard, Zhou Dingbian was stunned for a moment and said: "The instructor misunderstood, they are all guards stationed at the dock. Like them, there are three shifts a day, alternating every eight hours, to ensure that the docks are manned 24 hours a day.
If they belong to them, they should be under the jurisdiction of the security corps of Orange City. When they came, they were also worried that someone at the dock would be unfavorable to the instructor, so they specially came to enforce protection. ”
Hearing that these soldiers were not regular soldiers, but on the contrary, they were just soldiers of the security regiment, Situ Baili also sighed. This kind of troops that are only used for defense are all trained so elite, so what will the regular army of the real Xu Jiajun reach?
Situ Baili, who was a little curious, said: "Then can you, the head of the bachelor regiment, pick me up today?" You must know that just now in Hero City, the Governor Ning also personally came to pick up the ship. Is your leader too slow to slack me! How can I say it, my Situ Baili is also a little famous in this Longhua country, isn't he afraid that I will be unhappy to go outside and say bad things about him? ”
Zhou Dingbian, who was afraid that the instructor would be angry, hurriedly explained: "Instructor Situ, in fact, I told Commander Xu about you that day, and I found that he was very happy and excited, and asked me to help persuade you to stay." Say you're the kind of person he likes! It's just that I don't understand, weishenmezuihou he doesn't come to pick you up personally. As for my travels, that's the rule.
I was able to take over the instructors in my personal name, so naturally I could not be equipped with troops. As for my guards, they were placed outside the docks, where the guards were responsible for security, and our regular army could not interfere beyond the border if they were not on combat duty.
By the way, when Commander Xu asked me to pick up the instructor, let me tell you a word. That's what he hopes you will do when you come out of Dragon City, so take a look here more, maybe you will find the answer you want here. As for what exactly does it mean, it's not very clear what it means. At that time, Commander Xu told me that as long as I told you, I would be fine.
In addition, he specially asked me to wear civilian clothes today, and asked me to take a week's leave to accompany you to Xu Jiajun's various places. He said that after you read it, maybe you will have more common language to talk to him. I don't understand his confidence, it seems that he made this arrangement based on just some of my introductions and the things Xu Jiajun has collected about you. ”
Confidant?
Situ Baili also felt very innovative that the leader of the Xu family's army, who had not yet met, would make such arrangements for him. Fortunately, this time he came out, accompanied by four cadet instructors who did not want to continue to work in Dragon City, and he was determined to accompany this mentor who had known them back then.
When he walked out of the dock, he was escorted by the guards of the dock and sent to the outside of the dock, looking at the Zhou Dingbian guards standing outside. Situ Baili, who was born in the military, looked at the two guards who were leading eight military horses, and his first feeling was that these two guards were elite soldiers who had really seen blood.
This is different from the current warlord troops, most of whom are recruited to the battlefield temporarily for the purpose of pulling soldiers. And the equipping of these two guards with long and short guns is something he rarely sees.
In response to the instructor's confusion about the guards' equipment, Zhou Dingbian emphasized that this is to deal with emergencies, and the guards can counterattack the attacking enemy at close range and from a long distance.
At the same time, on the horses of their guards, Situ Baili also found that these guards were even equipped with submachine guns. With such an equipment configuration, if you encounter an attack team of ten people, you may not be able to beat the two guards in front of you, who are extremely skilled in playing with all three types of firearms.
Under the escort of two guards, Situ Baili and his party put their small luggage on horseback, and then Zhou Dingbian led them to the hotel in Orange City to stay. After resting here for one night, Zhou Dingbian will take them tomorrow to embark on the so-called trip to inspect the Xu Jiajun!
