"Hehe, this Yu Dingyuan, after all, the foundation is shallow, and the politics are still a bit naïve." After listening to Pang Xing's report, Xu Wenshan said, "The military salary is jointly responsible for the prince and Yunhou, if he dares to join them, they will dare to put him to death." ”

Pang Xing wiped the sweat from his head and said, "General Yu invited us to the city for a banquet tonight, and he wanted to discuss specific peace matters with us." ”

Xu Wenshan nodded and said, "I'm going to prepare for war." ”

Pang Xing began to tremble again: "Why ......"

Xu Wenshan smiled: "How can there be peace talks without fighting?" Yu Dingyuan probably wanted to invite me to them to do it. If they don't fight at all, they plan to negotiate peace with us, then they must be seriously lacking in military strength, and we should fight even more at this time...... So no matter what, there will definitely be a fight. ”

Pang Xing asked, "Then are we going to go?" ”

"Go, but not to the city, you tell them. We will only accept peace talks outside the city, and will never enter the city. ”

……

Xu Wenshan now is different from Xu Wenshan a few days ago, and he is now very confident in starting a head-on conflict with the Shaxian garrison. He has now not only gained a firm foothold in the local countryside, but has also recruited more than 100 local recruits to join the army. Although the quality of these recruits cannot be compared with the original veterans, they can also burst out with a strength not lower than that of the regular army after they are dispersed and incorporated into the current ranks.

Now he has 6 classes and a total of more than 120 people. The squad leaders of each squad are veterans, and each squad also has a squad deputy who is responsible for managing the ideological education of the soldiers in the squad. And the original two squad leaders, Li Dazhuang and Lei Laohu, have been promoted to platoon commanders.

On the day the two were promoted, Xu Wenshan organized all the veterans and recruits to go to the threshing floor and announced the news of their appointments in public, which made the two feel that they had more face.

"If we go back, what do you think Wu Yi's expression will be?" Lei Laohu said to Li Dazhuang with a smile.

"I guess he's going to be very unwilling." Before Li Dazhuang could answer, a voice sounded from behind him. Xu Wenshan walked over and said to the two: "This time the two of you are promoted urgently, you still have a long way to go in terms of how to be a good platoon commander." ”

The two saluted an inaccurate military salute - this was taught by Xu Wenshan again - Xu Wenshan motioned for the two to relax, and said: "I originally planned to set up each squad to ten people, and each platoon has three squads, but there are too few generals, and only the three of you can be counted on. After that, he handed the two of them a book: "This "Infantry Drill Code" is the result of my summary and research these days, you take it back, read it carefully, and study it hard." If you want to take the exam after returning to Luhe, if you don't pass the exam, the platoon commander will have to get rid of it. ”

After the two took over the drill code, they watched Xu Wenshan leave with a confused expression. Lei Laohu said: "Does the chief not remember that we are still illiterate?" ”

After turning two pages, Li Dazhuang said: "I went to night school some time ago, but I can recognize a little word. You see, the words on this are relatively simple, and the difficult words are also marked with pinyin, so I don't think it's difficult to learn this book. ”

Lei Laohu looked at Li Dazhuang with a shocked expression: "You actually really listened to the class?" ”

At present, it seems that the biggest problem facing Lei Laohu is how to learn the "Infantry Drill Code", and then they soon encounter more serious problems.

Previously, Yu Dingyuan proposed to let Xu Wenshan enter the city for peace talks, but Xu Wenshan wittily refused, and asked to change the place, Yu Dingyuan also showed great patience, saying that he could not show our landlord's friendship if he did not enter the city, and strongly asked Xu Wenshan to enter the city. Xu Wenshan, on the other hand, claimed that entering the city made them feel insecure. The two sides went back and forth, almost causing Pang Xing to break his leg.

In fact, in the past few days when they were doing Tai Chi, both sides were nervously preparing for the battle. Yu Dingyuan is desperately mobilizing his troops, while Xu Wenshan is using his money advantage to continue to expand and corrupt the local army.

When Xu Wenshan and Yu Dingyuan played Tai Chi and put forward conditions to each other, and the date of the peace talks could not be determined for a long time, the Eagle Yang Army of the front-line troops finally sent an advance force to tear apart the tacit understanding between the troops in the Tun District and Xu Wenshan.

It was a force of 1,200 front-line soldiers, whose faces showed their seniority. Because of their arrival, the garrison guards in the local tun area were tortured to the core.

It turned out that the rank of the commanders of this army was frighteningly high, and it stands to reason that except for Yu Dingyuan, all the military commanders on the Shaxian side are subordinates. This army came from afar, lacking supplies, but they were in a hurry to complete the task, so they urged the county to cooperate with the suppression of bandits, and Yu Dingyuan was definitely unwilling to hand over the troops of this town in Shaxian County, so they pulled the troops in the tun area together to suppress the bandits. In fact, let them do the work of auxiliary soldiers, lead the way, and rush the front row.

However, these tun chiefs in the tun area have long been corrupted by Xu Wenshan. Originally, before the front-line troops came, they had nothing to do with Xu Wenshan, whether Xu Wenshan recruited troops or made trouble, they never bothered, but now the front-line commander was airborne, and they had to dispatch, but they were afraid that they would offend Xu Wenshan because of this, and Xu Wenshan would tell them about their betrayal.

But the officials above can't be offended, after all, they are nominally superiors. You can't offend the top of the head, and you can't touch the bottom of the head, but fortunately, these chiefs are all masters who refuse to suffer, and they also have their own way of survival.

So in the past few days when they have been working together to suppress the bandits, they have not yet been dispatched every day, and the news of where the front-line troops are going to fight and where to search has been sent to the Luhe Escort Army. So they played hide and seek, and today they searched the east, and we hid in the west, and today they searched the north, and we ran south. If they start a search, we will concentrate our superior forces and eliminate the weak links that sneak up on them. In just a few days, they either broke their legs or were beaten out, and the troops of 1,200 men were rapidly reduced, and within a few days, there were only a little more than 1,000 people.

The commanders of the front-line troops finally discovered the problem, so one day, they deliberately informed the commanders of the wrong information, and the next morning, they searched in the opposite direction, and they collided with Xu Wenshan's troops.

This was the first time that the front-line troops had met with the troops they were searching for in the past few days, and their commanders were about to cry with emotion.

But what happened in the next scene directly made him cry: after the soldiers in the tun area saw the 100 people of the deer and crane guards, they didn't hesitate, and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

And the troops in front of them, after a second or two of shock, also completed the feat of turning around and then running away immediately.

"Chase! Catch up with them for me! The commander of the front-line troops shouted desperately.
