Chapter 191 There’s a lot to be done
Governor-General Xiao Jingchuan hosted a banquet in his office and invited Xu Baoyi to discuss the subsequent affairs of Baoding Prefecture.

Xu Baoyi spoke his mind sincerely, and Xiao Lang also wanted to speak frankly.

"Haha, okay, okay!"

"Actually, there is nothing else."

"I think the senior official should be able to think of it."

"Our entire army will take over the city of Baoding and engage in the battle!"

"It was really a spur-of-the-moment move!"

"For the country and the people, this battle should be fought!"

"But after this battle, this Baoding city."

"We will not stop here!"

"Instead, we have to go to the south!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang paused, paying careful attention to Xu Baoyi's expression.

"Mr. Xu Baoyi, you are originally from Baoding Prefecture, and your whole family is here as well."

"It's good news that you have deep roots and can get things done easily!"

"But what if you just leave now?"

"There will be a lot of corresponding implications!"

"Then I will fly with you"

"Haha, I wonder what the master is planning for the future?!" Xiao Lang asked tactfully.

Hearing this, Xu Baoyi also pondered and hesitated.

After a long pause and a deep breath, he replied resolutely.

"General Xiao! I, Xu, understand what you mean!"

"do not worry!"

"Baoyi is forty-two this year!"

"Before I met the general and Mr. Qiu, I had been doing nothing!"

"Even if you have some family background, it's just small things, it's hard to achieve anything big!"

"I am ashamed to say this, I feel so ashamed of my ancestors!"

"To be honest with you, General Xiao, I have been in contact with the generals under your command these days!"

"I, Xu, may not be talented, but I am not blind!"

"I can see that!"

"The general's military power is great, and the army has strict discipline!"

"You are a rare and talented general!"

"A real man, born with a seven-foot body, should serve his country with loyalty and righteousness!"

"I, Xu Baoyi, am already extremely grateful to be able to serve under the general!"

"For the rest of my life, I only wish to follow the general and do one thing!"

"Hey General!"

"Lead the horse and fall the stirrup. I, Xu Baoyi, will follow you for the rest of my life!"

"No more arguments, General!"

As he said this, Xu Baoyi suddenly lost control of himself, tears streaming down his face, and he stood up eagerly, pretending to kneel!
Seeing this, Xiao Lang was slightly surprised, and hurriedly pulled the chair and reached out to help.

"Hey, Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

"Hurry, get up first!"

"Let's get up and talk!" As he spoke, Xiao Lang managed to lift the man up and pushed him back to his seat.

During the action, they looked at each other and couldn't hold back their laughter!

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Oh, my big brother Xu!"

"you"

"Haha, you really misunderstood me!"

"I, Xiao Lang, am not afraid that I can't carry you away!"

"I didn't mean to test you!"

At this point, Xu Baoyi was completely confused and stood there in a daze, not knowing what this meant!

Xiao Lang went a step further and, to show his sincerity, grabbed his hand.

"On the contrary!"

"Brother Xu, I used your whole family as an example because I thought you would be in trouble!"

"So Feiyu and I also asked you to consider it!"

"After the recent battle in Baoding Prefecture is over, I will leave the country with my entire army and I want to keep you here in Baoding Prefecture!"

"In addition to you, another troop will be sent to join you!"

"Follow our previous example in Jiulong Town."

"You and the three hundred or so militiamen outside the city, plus the troops I sent, will establish a base west of Baoding Prefecture!"

"From now on, your troops and horses will mainly move around in Baoding, Zhending, and the Taihang Mountains to the west!"

"As long as you are willing to go into the mountains, Brother Xu, you can go deep into the mountains. If you want to move forward, you can support the two important military bases of Yingzhen and Bao!" "Inside the city of Baoding, you can take advantage of the host family!"

"From this, we can surely fight guerrilla warfare with ease and feel like a fish in water!"

After hearing Xiao Lang's words, Xu Baoyi was even more confused!
His expression was hesitant, and after a while, he finally asked a few words.

"what?!"

"Guerrilla, Xiao, General Xiao!"

"What do you mean by imitating the Kowloon Town rule you just mentioned?!"

"I hope the general will explain it in detail!"

"I'm completely confused after hearing this!" Xu Baoyi asked with a frown.

"Haha, Feiyu, you are always good at summarizing and calculating. Please tell Brother Xu about this matter in detail!"

Xiao Lang smiled and pushed the trivial matters onto Zhizhong.

Hearing this, Zhizhong shook his head helplessly.

But he did not refuse, and began to explain to Xu Baoyi in detail during the meal the general situation of Xiao Jingchuan's army in Jiulong Town and the wonderful tactics of Xiao Lang's so-called guerrilla warfare.

Time flies, and two quarters of an hour passed quickly while Zhizhong was talking!
After a long explanation, in which he laid out everything in detail, Xu Baoyi understood it carefully and finally understood Xiao Lang's painstaking efforts.

"Oh! So that's it!" Xu Baoyi slapped his thigh in excitement.

"General Xiao!"

"That's good! That's good!"

"If you hadn't mentioned this wonderful method, I would have been worried these days!"

"You don't know, I still have more than 300 brothers outside this city!"

"Most of those people are from the outlaws. They are bold and chivalrous, but they are used to being wild!"

"You let those people join the army and follow the troops. First of all, the most important person in the team must obey orders!"

“They can’t do it!”

"I can't help it!"

"I originally thought that after the battle in General Baoding's mansion was over, I would go out of the city and have a good chat with those brothers in person!"

"Those who are willing to endure hardships and follow me can go ahead. Those who are not willing can just go their separate ways!"

"If you are not willing at all, then I, Xu Baoyi, will have no choice but to follow the army alone! Haha."

"That's great! It turns out the general had already planned it for me!"

"This way, my old brothers who have been with me through thick and thin for all these years will finally have a place to stay!"

"I can also play a greater role in Baoding Prefecture!"

"General Xiao!"

"You are so helpful in planning!"

"I'm Xu Baoyi, I."

"Don't worry, General!"

"From now on, I, Xu Baoyi, will remain in Baoding, but the rest of the army will be in separate places!"

"But! As long as the general gives the order!"

"We will follow the general's orders and obey his orders without hesitation."

"If you don't obey, I, Xu Baoyi, will strike you with five thunderbolts from heaven!"

Xu Baoyi was excited and grateful for Xiao Lang's good intentions. He was deeply moved!

Having said this, he became extremely excited and started cursing and swearing!

Hearing this, Xiao Lang smiled and quickly interrupted the other party.

"Hey! Hey, Brother Xu."

"It doesn't have to be like this. It really doesn't have to be like this!"

"If Feiyu and I didn't trust you, we wouldn't have planned this!"

"You said so, right?!"

"Haha, just relax and listen to what I have to say!"

Xiao Jingchuan consoled him, and seeing that the conversation was going well, Xiao Lang then went on to explain the general situation of the current situation and military operations.

"Brother Xu!"

"look!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang took out a geographical map from his bosom, and the three of them moved to the next desk and unfolded the map.

"Look, to the west of Baoding Prefecture is Zijing Pass!"

"To the west of Zhending Prefecture is the Jingxing Mountain Road!"

"These two passes are the key points leading directly to Shanxi!"

"If the capital region wants to use military force against the northwest, it can only take these two routes!"

"From now on, no matter if it's the Dashunliu bandits or the Jiannu soldiers in the north!"

"If you want to attack the east and west, you must pass through these two places!"

"From this point on, there is a lot to be done!"

"Hahaha"
