Bao Dequan's eyes turned around Han Baihang's face and suddenly asked: "How old is Company Commander Han this year?"
Han Baihang said: "Sir, I am twenty-one years old this year."
Bao Dequan gave a 'hmm', nodded and smiled: "Yes, a twenty-one-year-old company commander is still rare in the army. I think I was still grooming horses in the stable when I was twenty-one."
These words sounded like words of appreciation, but Han Baihang didn't dare to be happy too early. His arm was still sore from the insult just now. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Sir, Liao, I am so humble. How dare I compare myself with you in this humble position?"
Bao Dequan laughed and said: "Why can't we compare it? Your department has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. I want to ask Governor Zhao for a reward."
Han Baihang raised his head when he heard the words, and saw the inexplicable light shining in Bao Dequan's smiling eyes. He couldn't help but trembled in his heart. He quickly thought about Bao Dequan's words in his mind, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Where is this?
He was asking for a reward, but he was clearly trying to flatter himself. He jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and said loudly: "The suppression of bandits in Yongcheng was all thanks to the garrison's strategizing and good command. In his humble position, he only acted according to orders. How dare he take credit."
Bao Dequan tilted his head and said in a strange tone: "It's you, Captain Han, who commanded us, and it has nothing to do with me."
Han Baihang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and bowed repeatedly: "It is the commander of the garrison. What kind of humble job is this? How can we win such a beautiful victory? Mr. Xu, don't you think so!" He asked Xu Wangtang for help.
The look in his eyes, as long as Xu Wangtang can give him some words at this time, the matter will be revealed.
Xu Wangtang saw Han Baihang's eyes and sneered in his heart. He wished that Han Baihang would be tortured to death by Bao Dequan, which would eliminate a serious problem. But he knew very well that the one-man show today was Bao Dequan, so he laughed and said:
"Captain Han is right. The guards can command the troops well, and they can defeat the bandits at three levels. It's really clever."
Lies told too often become truth, and Bao Dequan fought for this title. With a winner's smile on his face, he raised his hands proudly and said: "Then I will report the battle report to Governor Zhao truthfully."
"Yes Yes!"
Han Baihang and Xu Wangtang both nodded in agreement, and soon a telegram was drafted and sent to Kaifeng.
After seeing the scene just now, Han Baihang felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat, the officialdom was sinister, and there was murderous intent everywhere.
The atmosphere of the subsequent conversation was much better. Baodequan gained face and benefited, and smiled a little harder at Han Baihang. Perhaps he felt that he was indebted for taking the credit from Han Baihang, so he actually leaned over and offered an olive branch to Han Baihang, saying:
"You've given up your talents in Yongcheng. Why don't you come to my team and be promoted to a battalion commander?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Wangtang was stunned at first. He and Bao Dequan were old friends, so he naturally knew that these words were not polite. He couldn't help but look at Han Baihang with admiration. He secretly thought that this kid was lucky enough to be appreciated by Bao Dequan. This
If you get a promotion from a lower official, your future prospects will be unlimited, so it seems that you need to win over someone.
Bao Dequan looked at Han Baihang with a smile, and his eyes became more and more proud. He could see that Han Baihang was a strong general, and he thought that if he gathered Han Baihang under his command, it would be easier to march and fight in the future, so he just waited for Han Baihang to accept his death.
.
The two of them thought so, but Han Baihang didn't appreciate it at all. He really didn't pay attention to the little battalion commander. He thought he was a soldier of the 3rd Beiyang Division. How could he lower himself to join the provincial army?
The reporter said that he knew that the Henan Army did not have a few good days left. It would not be long before the Zhili Army would be at its peak, and all the lower-level officers would be promoted and re-employed. He would not agree foolishly, but it would not be appropriate to reject Bao Dequan outright.
, he said euphemistically: "I am very willing to follow the guard envoy, but it is a pity that my rank is in the third division. If I want to transfer, I need to get the military order from Commander Yu."
Bao Dequan brushed his face and was about to get angry, but when he heard Wu Peifu's name, he was frightened for a moment, frowned and said: "I forgot that you were transferred from the Zhili Army, but as long as you are willing to come, the order
I'll take care of the matter."
Han Baihang secretly complained, Bao Dequan really took a fancy to him, and said hurriedly: "Bu Lao is the guard envoy. The humble post was transferred to Yongcheng by Commander Yu to suppress the bandits. Now the bandits are still there, and the humble post has not handed over the military orders. I dare not
I obey my order. When the bandit suppression is completed, I will take a humble position under your command and listen to your teachings."
Xu Wangtang secretly gave a thumbs up, and had to admit that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant, and extremely beautiful.
Baodequan's face became even uglier. The dignified garrison's recruitment of a captain and company commander was rejected. He couldn't save his face, so he snorted: "No need, I can't tolerate you in this small temple. You are still in the Zhijun Army."
Bar."
Han Baihang didn't dare to say anything, but Nuonuo said yes.
When Bao Dequan saw Han Baihang, he became angry and said: "Since your army is a direct army, it cannot receive the pay of the Henan Army. From now on, I will issue an order that your army will receive its military pay from Luoyang."
.”
Han Baihang has finally learned what naked revenge is. Luoyang is nearly a thousand miles away from Yongcheng. Even if Luoyang is willing to pay the army, he cannot receive it. Now Baodequan has been cut off from military orders.
He could only accept his military pay and said in a low voice: "I humbly obey my orders."
"Get out of here, I'm tired." Bao Dequan looked at Han Baihang coldly and gave the order to expel the guest.
Han Baihang didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left. When Han Baihang went out, he heard the sound of a tea cup hitting the floor from inside the house, followed by Bao Dequan's yelling: "You don't know what to do!"
Han Baihang paused, lowered his head and left silently.
In the house, Baodequan was still angry. He was pacing back and forth in the house, his riding boots clattering under his feet. Suddenly he slapped his gun holster on the table and said angrily: "Damn it, come here, give me this."
The man named Han was shot."
The adjutant in the room solemnly accepted the order and was about to go out, but Xu Wangtang stretched out his hand to stop him. Xu Wangtang advised: "Guardian envoy, this Han Baihang is a member of the Zhili Army. It is not good for him to be killed or injured. Don't cause trouble to Governor Zhao."
Bao Dequan was also impulsive and killed a captain officer for no reason. Even if he was a guard envoy, he had to give an explanation to someone. It was no small matter. He slowly put away his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the fear of giving up to the guard,
If he causes trouble, I will never forgive him."
Xu Wangtang cupped his hands and said, "The guard is wise."
"This Han Baihang is really powerful. None of the officers and soldiers in the past are as capable as him in suppressing bandits. I think after the Longshan bandit army withdraws this time, the bandits near Yongcheng will also disappear. I won't worry about banditry in a year or two." Xu Wangtang.
He held the teapot and served tea to Bao Dequan and said.
