Chapter 124: Raising bandits

Unexpectedly, Gai Tianjiu was a workaholic in the Republic of China. She couldn't stay idle. Once she calmed down, she felt uncomfortable all over. Wang Maoru thought about it and thought of the bandit beards in the northeast. These beards were not powerful, but they were very harmful. Gai Tianjiu was familiar with the habits of bandits. Why not let Gai Tianjiu take a unit alone to return to his old business to pretend to be bandits and let the soldiers disguise themselves as bandits, so that he would have two armed forces in his hands, one light and one dark. Thinking of this, he hesitated a little. Gai Tianjiu finally became an officer.

He asked him to be a bandit again, can he be willing? He found Chief of Staff Zhu Yongquan, and the staff officer Xu Lao Nian, and talked about this with the two privately. Zhu Yongquan had a good idea. Now there are more than 7,000 people in the 17th Mixed Brigade, far exceeding the scale allowed by the Army Department. When the Army Department takes time out, whether it is Yuan Shikai or those who oppose Yuan Shikai, the 17th Mixed Brigade will be allowed to lay off the extra soldiers. If one person secretly disguises himself as a bandit, hides a group of troops, and then "raises bandits and respects" in the jurisdiction, it is also a good way.

Xu Lao Nian smoked old dry tobacco and said, "I'll tell King Gai about this first. You can tell him the great truth. Even if the King understands it, he will inevitably have an objection. I told him that if he took the initiative to ask for the battle, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Wang Maoru and others agreed deeply.

Xu Lao Nian invited Gai Tianjiu to the tavern for dinner. Gai Tianjiu laughed and said, "It's amazing, why did the old scholar treat me to dinner? It's amazing. It's even rarer to ask you to treat you to a meal than the old sting in Shanxi."

Xu Lao Nian said: "I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today."

Gai Tianjiu laughed, took the wine, poured two big bowls, and said, "You old man is the master of the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If you have anything to say to me, you have to drink all this bowl of wine first."

Xu Lao Nian was not vague, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, Gai Tianjiu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I deserve to be from our Tianwang Village, good-looking, let's talk, what's the matter? Have you fallen in love with a girl? Old scholar, you are blooming new flowers in your old tree? It has also moved the hearts of all?"

Xu Lao Nian said: "Does the king know a word called "a cunning rabbit and dead dog cooking?"

Gai Tianjiu shook his head and said, "Don't hang my book bag with me. I can't even recognize the words now. If someone in the army hadn't taught me, I wouldn't even write my name. What a dog or a rabbit? Do you want to eat dog meat? It's easy, waiter... come..."

Xu Lao Nian stopped him and said, "I'll tell you a story to the King."

"Yohey, the old scholar wants to tell a story, tell me, what story."

Xu Lao Nian said: "It is said that in the late Qin Dynasty, in order to build the Great Wall, Qin Shihuang persecuted many people, which caused the world to jointly oppose Qin. Two heroes appeared among them. One was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. He was strong and brave enough to lift a thousand pounds. "Gai Tianjiu said, "I know this Xiang Yu, but an old scholar, who is better than Guan Yu?"

Xu Lao Nian thought about it and said, "Of course it is Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu has never been defeated in his life. No general can live through twenty moves from him. With a fight against the river, eight thousand soldiers from Jiangdong fought 800,000 Qin troops and fled."

Gai Tianjiu asked, "Where is Jiangdong?"

Xu Lao Nian said: "It's the area in Hubei now."

Gai Tianjiu slapped on his thigh and shouted: "No wonder he overthrew the Qing Dynasty from Hubei. He has a good relationship. Hubei people have been able to fight since ancient times."

Xu Lao Nian smiled bitterly. The King of Gai was too irritating. He nodded and said, "But although Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, was invincible in the world, he was no match for another hero."

"who?"

"This person is Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who founded the foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years." Xu Lao Nian said, "But Liu Bang was just a second-rate sold dog meat. Not to mention that he could not defeat Xiang Yu, even if Xiang Yu helped him, Liu Bang could not defeat Xiang Yu. However, in the end, Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang."

"What's going on?" Gai Tianjiu asked after taking a sip of wine.

"This is because Liu Bang can employ people. He knows nothing. He can use people. His generals include Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying, Wen Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Chen Ping. Xiang Yu's martial arts skills are the best in the world, and he cannot tolerate anyone who is behind his own. He eats good things by himself, treasures by himself, and beauties by himself. On the contrary, Liu Bang robbed, no matter what money and food, he is divided by his subordinates, and he only wants nothing else. So Xiang Yu fought against Liu Bang, and his own people were fighting less and less, and he fought more and more. In the end, Han Xin was ambushed and forced to death by the Wujiang River." Xu Lao Nian said.

Gai Tianjiu said, "Xiang Yu is the same. Why can't he eat alone? When did I give good things to my brothers when I was the king of the mountain? When did I mention my name in Beizhili, who doesn't give me a thumbs up in the green forest and says heroes, who doesn't say I am the king of heaven? I was defeated by the government army and the bandits several times, but why did I survive several times? It's because I'm kind to my brothers, and my brothers support me."

Xu Lao Nian said: "The King of Heaven is indeed the most heroic hero in Zhili, and he has similarities with Liu Bang."

Gai Tianjiu laughed and said, "What song is not? I can't sing, you continue to say it, what will happen later."

Xu Lao Nian said: "What happened later is not good. Liu Bang is a tolerant person. Han Xin killed Xiang Yu and Liu Bang became the emperor, but Liu Bang was uneasy. His subordinates were better than him. What if he killed himself to become the emperor one day? Seeing that there was no war in the world, what's the use of these generals? So he tried to kill all the civil and military generals under him. This was to cook the cunning rabbits and say that since the rabbits were all beaten to death, why should the hunting dogs be kept? They could just kill them."

Gai Tianjiu said: "This Liu Bang has such a cruel heart."

Xu Lao Nian took the opportunity to say, "General Shangwu is Han Xin today. When he eliminates the bandits and quells the northern border troubles, it is time for the lackeys to cook. Although General Wang seems to be so glorious now, the President has issued a transfer order, and the general has to leave. Isn't this great foundation still left for the president's son? You think why the president values ​​the general so much? It's a trap that the general has to get into. Therefore, in order to avoid the cunning rabbit and the lackeys cooking, the general cannot calm down here. He has to leave a way out for himself. No one can handle Hulunbuir except myself."

Gai Tianjiu said: "You are good at making plans, and you are good at making plans. There is also the contribution of your old scholar, right?"

Xu Lao Nian nodded and toasted a bowl of wine, saying, "I just came up with a plan."
