The idea of the great general He Jin is understandable, because it is a very normal choice, and in order to preserve his political power, he must do it. After all, if you have accumulated a lot of battles with the Republican Army, it is a very disadvantageous thing to consume too much.

Ding Yuan knew very well that he would do this, but the price of this was that many landlords from Bingzhou began to hope for them, because the local governor of Ding Yuan could no longer assume the responsibility of protecting them, and they had to be responsible for the safety of their property. In the absence of more support for him, they will choose other ways to do such things, so that their situation can complete such favorable situations.

Ding Yuan's self-protection gave the Republican Army a great opportunity. Because the Republican Army can employ the tactics of expulsion to force the other side to leave. Then they took the opportunity to occupy the entire state, but how to stabilize the state to the greatest extent, you must know that the state has actually become an important front line against the northern nomadic tribes, if such a front line is breached, the consequences are quite serious, in this case, once it is not done well, it will be seized by the northern nomads.

"Let's deduce the same, I think Ding Yuan will definitely create more chaos for us. After all, this will contain more of our troops, the Huns, the Wuhuan people, they will all take the opportunity to enter Jinyang, and then open a bigger gap, if we can't fill it in time when Ding Yuan leaves, as a result, the chaos will be very big. Jia Xu said worriedly.

At present, this situation is very likely to happen, and the Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the Bingzhou area are different from the Xiongnu in Hexi and Hetao, they belong to different tribes and spheres of influence. There is no comparison at all.

"How about the guerrillas? Can they take on such a responsibility? Shang Wu asked Jia Xu, on the sand table, although the flag of the guerrillas was small, they still existed.

"We'd better not give them too much hope, although they are developing rapidly, and have now grown to the size of 5,000 people, but the speed of development is too fast, coupled with weapons and equipment, and the need to provide more food, it can be said that there is still a homeless organization composed of displaced people, and letting them fight is undoubtedly equivalent to sending them to death, plus there is too much expansion, and the officers there are very calm reports, their fighting quality has declined to a great extent, and the ambush battle is not very good. You can imagine their combat effectiveness, if they are asked to undertake such a heavy task, sometimes, I really suspect, they themselves will mutiny. Jia Xu shook his head and said. As for the guerrillas, Jia Xu still made a very calm judgment, although the early Red Turban Army broke out with a certain combat effectiveness, but that kind of combat effectiveness was established under a special environment, after all, there was a backbone, plus tactics, and the use of new weapons, they were able to fight in such a combat situation. The guerrillas in Bingzhou were a complete rabble, and despite the Republican Army's more military aid and military advisers, they were unfortunately unable to regain the excellent combat effectiveness of the early Red Turban Army. Even with continuous blood transfusions, they still could not recover to a state that could withstand cavalry combat in a short period of time, so Jia Xu was right to suggest abandoning such a situation. +

"It seems that we really can't hope too much for them." Shang Wu said calmly. Relying on the rabble to stop the southward movement of the northern nomadic cavalry is simply not possible, on the contrary, it may lose more, and it is good that they can keep themselves. How to do it in such a state, to preserve your strength, which shows what makes impossible to do.

"You say, how do we fill such a gap? In other words, when the other side retreated and left, such a mess suddenly appeared, and at the same time, we must also note that in such a situation, there will be many, many riots in the situation of the state army, how can we fill it? Shang Wu asked.

"The only way to do this is to unite with some local landlords and give them a certain amount of support, so that they can form a political system for self-protection and ensure their own strength to the greatest extent. At the same time, it would be better for us to be able to contain the forces of the nomadic tribes of the north. Otherwise, their appearance will bring us even greater disaster. Jia Xu proposed two solutions.

"It's not easy to do both." Shang Wu said.

"I think it should be easy, but it depends on the ability of the intelligence services. If we give them more of the goods they need, and support them by trade, they deserve that control, and at the same time, we want to guarantee the interests of some of the powerful landlords in the state, and tell them that by remaining independent, we can guarantee the security of their property, and that it has legal effect, and we can provide relevant legal guarantees. At the same time, a certain number of parliamentary seats are granted. Jia Xu said.

Jia Xu has already experienced the benefits of the parliament, they can give each other some seats in the parliament at will, and at the same time do not have to worry about them posing too much threat to the government, because it is a very terrible thing to be able to unify the interests of all parties.

"Well, it seems that we can only do that for now. After all, such a situation is the only favorable one for us. Shang Wu said. In complex situations, they must balance the interests of all parties, and only when the interests of all parties reach a balance point can their situation be improved to a greater extent.

On the west bank of the Yellow River, the garrison here had withdrawn on its own initiative ten days earlier. These are all orders given by Li Dao. This place is actually controlled by the Republican Army, and the Republican soldiers are wearing makeup, they are still wearing the uniforms of the imperial army, and they look like the local garrison, which is only superficial, but once it is night, they will become the Republican Army, and the two engineer battalions of the Republican Army have arrived here, along with four larger pontoons. They are all made of iron.

All of them were transported by horse-drawn wagons, and they could be set up in a relatively short time. This is extremely crucial for the operation of crossing the river.

"Bang. Bang. Bang. "Red flares soon flew up on the opposite side. This means that the opposite side is under control. The IRA engineers moved quickly. The horse artillery of the cavalry units was ready, and they were ready to attack any situation that arose on the other side of the river. Although their firepower looks a little weak, it does not prevent their combat firepower from being output at all.

"The other side, it's been controlled, we don't have to worry. Although the choice of the crossing to take place during the day seems to be very disadvantageous to us, the opposite is true, and we can get more firepower during the day, even if we force the situation open. Ma Liu said confidently.

Li Dao nodded, he was regarded by the Republican Army as a liaison officer, mainly responsible for some specific situations that opened the door of convenience. Of course, they have already discussed it. Dong Zhuo's report will write that the sudden entry of the Republican Army into the area caused the defense of the area to be empty, in fact, it is the initiative to give up, and when the Republican Army successfully crosses the river, a regiment of cavalry rushes over, and occupies the rest of the Hedong area, they will take the initiative to abandon here, of course. Dong Zhuo will cooperate with the situation of regaining lost territory. This can also show that he Dong Zhuo is also working very hard, so that he can deceive those masters of Luoyang.

The deal was a good deal, because Dong Zhuo had nothing to lose, and if necessary, the Republican Army would transfer some of the prisoners of war to them. In this way, Dong Zhuo accepted part of the strength of the Hedong Army, and in this way, the only remaining strength of the Hedong Army was deliberately disintegrated by both sides. This may seem disgraceful, but it is in the interests of both parties.

Li Wei was very surprised to watch the republican army's crossing of the river, and he found some different places, for example, he saw some iron mounds, all of which were cast in cast iron, and they were pushed into the water in a boat-like structure, and then unfolded little by little. Then the people above will slowly connect, and this kind of production will make the pontoon bridge much more stable, and it will not be burned upstream.

Not only that, but there were a lot of iron plates laid on it, and he didn't know how the Republican engineers managed to reduce their weight, but what he did know was that in such a situation, their advantage would be much greater, because the pontoons were extremely unstable, especially the traditional pontoons. The difficulty factor is large. It was difficult to pass cavalry units on a large scale, and the Republican army used such pontoon bridges, but they could quickly pass through their pontoon bridges. Even artillery units in the rear can pass. This is not an order of magnitude at all, the gap between the two sides is too great.

In addition to that, there are many things that he sees differently. For example, the iron plates, those iron plates do not know how to stabilize, and some linen pieces are laid on them, so that they are more non-slip and stable, and the cavalry troops can pass more quickly, and most importantly, the four pontoon bridges were completed in less than an hour, and many things greatly reduce the difficulty of erecting pontoon bridges.

Li Wei has a new understanding of the logistics support capabilities of the Republican Army, and he is very glad that they have chosen a good partner, but at the same time, they are unfortunate because the other party's strength is too strong. Sooner or later, there will be a big threat to them, and this threat has always been there. This is by no means the most favorable situation.
