Half a month after the wedding celebration ended, a robbery occurred in Zhuju Mansion, located in Donghu Province, against the Gannan Chamber of Commerce. In this robbery, two of the guards of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce were killed, and the caravan worth nearly 10 million Long Yang was also robbed.

Originally, this batch of goods was intended to be transported to Shachengdu, the capital of Donghu Province, for sale, but not to mention the death, even the goods were snatched by a group of soldiers wearing loaded guns and live ammunition and wearing people's clothes.

The reason why it is said that this batch of goods was snatched by the soldiers, it was the escort escort escorting the caravan merchants away, in the process of fighting. They directly caught the two robbers, and after some torture to extract confessions, the other party confessed their true identities, not bandits who occupied the mountain, but officers and soldiers of the garrison regiment belonging to the Zhuzhou Division of Donghu Province.

The reason they looted the caravans was simple: they wanted to loot a cargo to supplement their increasingly scarce salaries. It was none other than He Yingqing, the nephew of He Shangdao, the governor of Donghu, who organized this robbery.

There was such a major incident of losing people and goods, and the members of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce immediately reported the situation to the Chamber of Commerce while recovering a life. At the same time, the supervision units of the escort team, the Yudu Border Guards and the Anju Border Guards located on the border of Donghu Road, responded immediately. All combat units entered the combat state as soon as possible to threaten and protest.

In the face of the border troops of the Xu Jiajun, once again such a demonstration of military strength, the Donghu Army, which had several experiences, knew that there must be someone who provoked the unreasonable but extremely rich Gannan Xu Jiajun here. As long as the two governors discuss it carefully, pay for the war or something, this matter will be over.

Anyway, the border guards opposite them have never been just for show, and when they really dare to fight, they really haven't seen it. At least the Donghu Army from top to bottom. It seems that Xu Jiajun of Gannan is a money fan who recognizes money but not people. If it weren't for the fact that the weapons in the other party's hands were indeed more elite than theirs, and the combat effectiveness seemed to be very strong, they would have wanted to cross the border and rob for a long time.

There was chaos at the border, and He Shangdao, the governor of Donghu, who got the news, faced the most important nephew in the face of the person who took the lead in the robbery this time, and he really had a bit of a headache for this bold nephew. Who is not easy to mess with, but to provoke this wealthy Gannan army. Now the governor of the house sent another telegram of questioning, demanding a reasonable explanation.

Not to mention Xu Bin's proposal to compensate the Chamber of Commerce for its losses. He also had to bear the pension of two dead guards, each of whom was 1,000 dragon yang. As for the mastermind behind the director's sneak attack and robbery, he must be severely punished. At the same time, the governor of Donghu Province, Ho Shangdao, must call the whole country to say that this incident will not happen again.

Such conditions sound very reasonable, but they make He Shangdao very angry. Plus this kind of thing. In the past, most of them lost money. After going back and forth, He Shangdao also felt that Gan Nanjun was a little too arrogant. Ultimately. He was the old governor of Longhua. This young governor of Gannan has to give him, a senior in the military circles, a few thin noodles.

Coupled with the care of his nephew, he directly refused, and at the same time said that this matter was simply made out of nothing. How could his nephew, He Yingqing, such an honest and responsible young man, do such a self-defeating thing? Telegram zuihou, he also told Xu Bin earnestly. There are too many people who want to stir up trouble these days, don't plant other people's provocation and do things that mislead others and yourself.

Originally, I wanted to teach Xu Bin a lesson through this incident. At the same time, let Xu Bin and Gan Nanjun understand. They can do whatever they want in Gannam, but when they reach the Donghu territory, everything still needs to be handed over to the Donghu military government, which rules Donghu Province. Seeing such a callback, He Shangdao thought that Xu Bin would be angry, but Xu Bin, who got the telegram, smiled, and laughed very happily. Why?

Because this robbery was directed by Xu Jiajun's intelligence department from beginning to end. He Yingqing, who robbed the Gannan Chamber of Commerce, is a little stunned to be precise. In addition, there has always been this uncle who is the governor on top of his head, and his style of acting is even more arrogant and arrogant.

Using a cronie of the He family who had long been bought by the intelligence department, provoked the young military and political chief of Zhuzhou Mansion to rob the Gannan Chamber of Commerce in the name of pretending to be a bandit, and then killed all the people of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce and killed them without proof. I believe that with the identity of the Xu family, he will not provoke a war between the two provinces for the sake of an attack on a caravan, right?

It was precisely because of believing in the words of this cronie that He Yingqing finally concealed his uncle He Shangdao and sent his cronies to lead the team to form this robbery. Originally, I thought that the main force of a battalion would rob the escort caravans, which usually only had thirty or forty people, and it would be a matter of being able to capture them. Unexpectedly, this time the goods were indeed grabbed, but it was far from being able to annihilate the other party.

Moreover, the cargo they looted, because of the preciousness, the caravan invited the escort team was not the usual platoon at all, but reached the size of a main company of more than a hundred people. In addition, the ambush they had set up in advance was detected by the other party, and although they also killed two soldiers of the escort team, they also suffered a small number of casualties of a hundred people.

If it weren't for the goods, he would indeed be pulled back by the henchman officer who led the team, and after the price was sold after some statistics, he could really make a lot of money, and He Yingqing even had the heart to kill this henchman officer. Because of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers led by these henchmen, he was disappointed.

In the face of the telegram sent back by the governor of Donghu Province, Xu Bin smiled in front of the officers who had assembled on standby, but was angry at the press conference that followed. bluntly said that the deadline was three days, and let He Shangdao, the governor of Donghu Province, hand over the murderer to show justice, otherwise the Gannan army, which was guarding the caravan, would personally lead people to arrest the murderer.

This meaning is naturally very clear, that is, if the murderer is not handed over, there is a high probability of war between the two realms. This news is undoubtedly and once again makes people see that although Xu Bin is married and has a family, his character is still so explosive. Is that really the case?

Just when all parties saw that Xu Jiajun showed complete human and material evidence, plus the two soldiers who were caught, they were indeed from Donghu in Zhuzhou. As soon as his identity and background were revealed, it was quickly clear to reporters. In this matter, it is indeed what the Donghu Army did was a bit unauthentic.

This official army pretending to be bandits is often done in private, but it is the first time that someone has been caught and made public. So will this young governor who is as stunned as a young man really start a war that is likely to cost nearly 10 million for a batch of goods worth tens of millions? And the cost of this war, which is likely to increase over time, is it really cost-effective?

In the face of this kind of private settlement, which was originally easy to solve, Xu Bin made it public. There is no reason for He Shangdao to give in, both public and private, and in his opinion. The situation in Gannan Province is not optimistic now. He was looked down upon by other warlord forces on all sides, and once he dared to use his sword and soldiers, those neighbors would not stand by and watch, and it was very likely that he would take the opportunity to fish for oil and water and fight the autumn breeze.

Therefore, He Shangdao and his staff team unanimously guessed that the probability of this battle would not exceed half. Because this can't be done at all, Xu Bin's real intention in holding a press conference is nothing more than to force the Donghu Army to lose more money. This kind of thing, how can He Shangdao, who is short of money, admit and pay for it?

It's just that when everyone was looking forward to the progress of things, the nearly 30,000 main forces of the Anzhou Division and the Yudu Division, which had been in ambush for a long time, joined the tens of thousands of militia reserve troops that had been assembled in wartime and were ready to carry out defensive tasks on the border. On the night of the Zuihou ultimatum, a fierce attack was launched against the passive defensive Donghu Army across the Gannan border.

The commander who led the team to command this battle was Bai Diantang, the division commander of the Anzhou Division, and he became the first commander of the Xu Jiajun to lead the team to attack the fortifications. His luck is undoubtedly so good that it is also the envy of the generals of the Xu family.

In just one night, the Donghu Army, which usually confronted the Gannan border guards, was defeated on all fronts. By dawn the next day, several county towns in the border area of the two provinces, including the neighboring Yifu, had become the territory of Xu's army. After a short rest, his soldiers rushed straight to Zhuzhou.

It's time to fight! The stunned governor of Gannan really fought with the people of the Donghu Army for a batch of goods!

As soon as this incident was reported by reporters from major newspapers, everyone was not worth it for Xu Bin's impulsiveness, and even received the battle report in the morning. When he learned that the land under his rule had completely fallen into the territory of the Xu family's army, He Shangdao was shocked and angry.

No, when it comes to this part, it can't be done if you don't fight. What's more, in recent years, the common people in the border areas have far exceeded the support of the Xu Jiajun far more than the Donghu Army. This made He Shangdao, who was the governor of Donghu Dao, very faceless, so he wanted to use this battle to tell Xu Jiajun that his Donghu Army was not the Gannan Army in the past, and it was not something they could handle casually.

He Shangdao, who soon came to the Governor's Palace, immediately issued a mobilization order for combat readiness, ordering the whole army to fight against the Xu family's army. At the same time, he expressed strong anger and criticism of Xu Jiajun's crossing the border to provoke war. At the same time, it is not in vain to provoke the warlords around Gannan, and at this time, we should work together to teach this young governor of Gannan a profound lesson.

It turned out that He Shangdao looked too highly at the Donghu Army he had organized at great cost. In the face of the menacing and high-spirited Xu Jiajun, the Donghu Army that went to block it had almost no enemy. The Xu family's army, which marched into Zhuzhou, almost did not encounter too much resistance all the way, and successfully entered the city of Zhuzhou. With only a few shells, Ruoda Zhuzhou City was captured.

As for the nephew who was entrusted with a heavy task by him, after seeing the siege of the city Xu Jiajun shouting the order of 'break through Zhuzhou City and take revenge on his dog's life'. Looking at the soldiers under his command who had no fighting spirit, they were very smart and fled through the back door to seek refuge in the capital city of Shacheng.

In this way, in less than three days after the start of the war, the gate of Shacheng, the capital of Donghu Road, seemed to have opened its door to the Xu family's army. The strength of the Donghu Army is undoubtedly at a glance under such circumstances! (To be continued......)
