When he came to the barracks, Xu Chuan found Ji Liang and the battalion commanders of the three battalions and the commanders of each company to discuss the military merit system and other matters.

There wasn't much to say about his proposal.

Twice leading the town guards to defeat the bandits, he has initially established a certain prestige in the army.

It's just that when mentioning the loot captured by the town guards, one of the battalion commanders suddenly mentioned the looted things of the bandit bosses.

"Commander, the first two times we defeated the bandits, we didn't go to raid the bandits' dens, those bandits have been robbing all year round, there must be a lot of good things in the thieves' dens, do you want to lead the brothers to raid them?"

It was one of the battalion commanders of the two main battalions who spoke, named Li Wujin, who was looking at Xu Chuan expectantly at the moment.

A word woke up the person in the dream, and when he heard Li Wujin's words, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and slapped his palms in annoyance, how could he forget about this.

Those bandit brothers will carry their belongings with them, but the bandit boss will not.

In other words, there will definitely be a lot of good things in the den of thieves and thieves who were defeated by them.

"Gan, why did I forget this?"

"Quick, count some people, go to those bandits' dens and take back the loot that belongs to us."

"Don't think about the first batch of bandits, after so many days, the other bandits will definitely not let them go."

"But the group of bandits we defeated yesterday may still be in time."

"Uncle Li, I'll leave this matter to you."

Xu Chuan spoke up and wanted to arrange for the town guards to go to the thieves' den to transport back the loot.

But Ji Liang, who was sitting on the side, stood up and stopped: "No, head of the regiment, this thing won't work." ”

Ji Liang interrupted, and everyone instantly turned their eyes to him, and Li Wujin stared at him even more, if Xu Chuan wasn't still sitting here and holding the scene, the two would definitely quarrel directly.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, it is a matter of course to pick up some ruined bandits and transport back the spoils of war, which is also an honor, and it is also a military achievement.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ji Liang ignored it, he looked at Xu Chuan and said in a deep voice: "This thing won't work, head of the group, even if there is a lot of property in those bandits' dens, we may not be able to bring them back." ”

"Not to mention the long distance, the key is that there may be other bandits on the road at any time, with only a thousand people under the hands of five catties, leaving the trebuchet, once we encounter a large number of bandits, there is no power to resist at all, and we have no time to support."

"Unless three thousand guards can be dispatched together."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan immediately sobered up.

Just now, he was dazzled by the belongings left in the bandits' den, thinking that the number of bandits left behind by the other party was not large, and the guards could fight against it.

But it missed the other bandits entrenched in the Sanzhi area.

Although the number of town guards has now expanded to three thousand, they are still too weak in the face of the bandit forces of four or five thousand people in Black Tiger Village and Wulong Mountain.

Most of the credit for the first two victories over the bandits goes to the trebuchet, but the trebuchet is okay for positional warfare, and once it moves, it is almost useless.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan waved his hand and said, "Give up and stop acting." ”

Hearing this, Li Wujin was a little anxious.

"Commander, this is a great opportunity, the number of bandits who stay in the thieves' den is definitely not much, I am sure!"

Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "Uncle Li, I'm not worried about the bandits who stayed behind, I'm worried about other bandits, the first two victories were based on trebuchets, once you leave the trebuchet and fight against those bandits, the town guards will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

Hearing this, Li Wujin wanted to speak, but Xu Chuan interrupted: "Uncle Li, stability is the most important thing now, the town guards are our foundation, and we can't afford to lose them." ”

"This operation, give up first, I estimate that those treasures will definitely fall into the hands of other bandits, and when we have the ability in the future, we will grab it back! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. ”

Li Wujin didn't refute anymore and sat down again.

......

After a military meeting, everyone walked out, Xu Chuan and Ji Liang walked together, inspecting the military camp that had been restored, and discussing some training for the follow-up town guards.

"Uncle Ji, is there a Baku?" Walking in the barracks, Xu Chuan suddenly asked.

Ji Liang was stunned for a moment, and took out a cigarette and a fire fold from his pocket.

He took it, lit it, took two puffs, then snuffed out the cigarette butt and turned his head to look at Ji Liang.

"Uncle Ji, do you believe me?"

Hearing this, Ji Liang was stunned again.

Xu Chuan ignored Ji Liang, looked at the hot military camp and said: "At the beginning, I actually just wanted to hand over the trebuchet to my grandfather and let him deal with the problem of bandits, and I didn't think that one day I would lead three thousand guards to protect the town. ”

"At that time, I just wanted to save my own life, and it didn't matter much to me how many guards died, I just didn't die."

"But later, the bandits invaded and looted the town, and I saw the dead eyes of my neighbor Grandpa Xu after being killed by the bandits, and from that day on, I woke up."

"I knew that if I wanted to become stronger, I couldn't rely on my strength alone, so I told my grandfather that I wanted to make the guards militarized, and I wanted to use the power of the guards to protect the town and protect myself."

"But today, I understand that when it comes to leading the army to fight, I am actually a layman, far inferior to you."

"If you don't stop Uncle Ji today, I'm afraid that the 1,000 guards of the third battalion will be buried under one of my decisions."

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Chuan continued: "Well~, how to say it, in fact, it doesn't mean that I want to rely on the current highest command position, in fact, it is more suitable for you, but I can't give up ...... now."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Liang jumped up, a little panicked, "Commander, I never thought about it that way, today's things, I just, just ......"

Xu Chuan waved his hand and stopped with a smile: "I haven't finished my words yet, don't worry." ”

"I know that in commanding the town guards to fight, in military operations, I can't do it, I'm not as good as you, and even inferior to other battle-hardened town guards."

"But in the overall situation, in terms of grasping the future, I can say that no one can compare to me in the entire Sanzhi Zone, or even the entire continent."

"Before, I only thought about myself, but later, I had a dream, I wanted to lead our Sanzhi Zone to prosper, I wanted to make the Saniri Zone never suffer from bandits in the future, and I wanted our people to live a rich life."

"I have too many thoughts in my head, but all of them need enough protective power."

"That's why I want to firmly control the town guards, because the town guards are this force, and I need the support of the town guards to achieve all this."

"If I don't have enough self-protection ability, even if the ideas in my head can make our lives better and make the villagers rich, it is tantamount to a three-year-old child passing by with gold bricks in the downtown area, and can be snatched away at any time."
