China's way of employing people is ancient, and it has been continuously tempered in a long history, forming a set of theories that Westerners do not understand and will never understand. Talents must be used, slaves must be used; those who are capable should be used, and those who are incompetent should be used; benevolence should be used, and those who are powerful should be used. In the final analysis, it is a balance, which requires the people below to restrain each other and not to make their own family dominant.

It is hard to tell whether this is superb wisdom or a dross that is not in line with the times, but Koji Kono, as a Chinese expert, highly respects it and uses it in practice.

Yue Peikun was tolerant and cunning, first cheated Liu Wushuang, and secretly colluded with the Japanese, and set up an ambush, which severely damaged Liu Feng and Jiulongtang. Such people can be called talents. Du Shixiong and his wife are simple-minded, greedy and cruel, but lack strategy, so they can be called slaves. Moreover, Yue Peikun and his wife are in a grudge against money, and they can restrain each other and restrain each other.

Therefore, Kono Hiroji transferred the two men's troops from Xingtai County as a helper for this sweep. He also planned to take advantage of the conditions that Yue Peikun is familiar with the county and let him fight specifically with the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army.

The road has just begun to be renovated, and the Japanese were unable to display their rapid maneuvering power. In order to make up for the lack of continuous transportation and supply capacity and to maintain the sweeping for a long time, Kono Kono made relatively sufficient preparations to recruit civilian vehicles so that the troops could carry as much ammunition and supplies as much as possible. Ammunition and food were filled with dozens of large trucks, which was a large number compared with the previous Japanese "sweeping" operations.

On April 20th, the Japanese army took a strengthening squadron as the backbone, accompanied by Yue Peikun and Du Shixiong's puppet troops. They set off from the county town, passed through Anping Town, occupied Xiao Zhangzhuang, and launched an attack on the main group of the Eighth Route Army. Faced with the aggressive enemy, the main group of the Eighth Route Army, which had received intelligence in advance, moved northward. After entering Lincheng County, under the guidance of local armed forces, they quietly went eastward and seized the Pinghan Railway, waiting for an opportunity to fight.

For the Japanese, it is common to sweep and pounce. They arrested civilians and conscripted large chariots. Only when they were so troubled, the fool could not see that you were going to take military action. However, the Japanese officers responsible for directly commanding the sweeping troops were not willing to give up. They asked Kimura and Kono Hiroji, who wanted to follow the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army and chased them reluctantly.

It was not surprising to Koji Kono, but it was not his intention to pursue the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, forcing the main force of the Eighth Route Army out of the county was considered to have achieved some military goals. After researching with Kimura, he decided to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the Eighth Route Army to clean up the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in the county. He handed over this task to Yue Peikun and Du Shixiong. The Japanese strengthening squadron was stationed in Xiaozhangzhuang, responsible for both support.

"Brother Du, your chance to take revenge is here." Yue Peikun raised his eyebrows at Du Shixiong with a smile, "At the time, the boy named Meng tricked you. If you don't take revenge, you can't be called a real man, right?"

"What do you mean?" Du Shixiong rolled his eyes and said, "My surname is Yue, do you want to set up a trap for me? I know you are full of bad water. I am not fooled."

"Good intentions are like donkey liver and lungs." Yue Peikun shook his head and said, "Then, I'll go south and you'll go north. This boy named Meng has also cheated me. I'll go to Shili Village or Tumen Village to settle the score with him. Well, Jiulong Hall has disbanded, maybe the girl Liu Feng will take her dowry to find her brother love, and it's just a kill of two birds with her."

Du Shixiong looked at Yue Peikun suspiciously, not knowing what this guy is selling, so he dared not express his opinion lightly to avoid being deceived.

The poisonous mantis blinked his triangle eyes and was also thinking. Speaking of which, she really hated Meng Youtian. She used her and Du Shixiong, but made them happy and made them feel unreasonable. She also broke up with Yue Peikun. However, she was also afraid that Yue Peikun had bad intentions, so she mentioned Meng Youtian and Liu Feng and dowry, which clearly meant to seduce them.

"It seems that Brother Du has no objection, so I will talk to Yoshimoto Taijun." Yue Peikun smiled faintly and said, "The local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army are just mud legs with broken guns and knives. With the strength of my subordinates, they all go south and north."

Du Shixiong and the poisonous mantis looked at each other, then saw Yue Peikun really turned around and nodded at the same time. Yue Peikun's tactic of hard-to-get and his last words really touched their hearts. Local armed forces and militias really didn't take them seriously. There are benefits to going south and disadvantages to going north. If the Eighth Route Army kills a retaliation, wouldn't it be the first to be affected?

"Brother Yue, please stay." Du Shixiong shouted and quickly chased after him.

Yue Peikun did not turn around, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a sneer appeared on his face. Although he didn't know the whole situation, he still knew that Meng Youtian was a militia hero. Since the Japanese had suffered a great loss, it was not simple. He was a new arrival, and before he could find out the specific reason, it would be wise to let Du Shixiong meet this tough guy... Yue Peikun attacked north with his men, Du Shixiong's men marched south. The Japanese provided guides to the two puppet troops, as well as more than 30 Japanese troops, both supervisors and guidance. It was originally a battle to suppress local armed forces and stabilize public security.

"Lianggangzhuang, Shili Village, and Tumen Village are all thorn villages, stubborn villages, one is worse than the other, and one is more vicious." The person who served as the guide of Du Shixiong's army was actually Meng Youtian's acquaintance, the big smoke-filled ghost Bai Jitang. Such a gangster is the most easily bribed, the most without the concept of national and ethnicity, and the most likes to hold the Japanese's thick legs and bully their compatriots.

"Vulnerable?" Du Shixiong rolled his eyes and asked disrespectfully: "How cruel is it, it's better than me, Master Du? I'm a demon who is so ruthless that he can't even cry."

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Du's name is well-known in our county." Bai Jitang smiled flatteringly, and secretly scolded him in his heart for not knowing that he was powerful and dared to swear loudly.

"Isn't it just a few landmines?" Du Shixiong became more proud and said, "It's no big deal if he has seen it. We have captured people and walk around, so I don't believe that they will make up their minds to blow up the people."

"That's definitely not possible." Bai Jitang nodded and agreed, hesitated for a moment, and kindly reminded: "In addition to landmines, they also have authentic tunnels. People hiding underground, which is very difficult to deal with."

"Is it a mouse?" Du Shixiong was not surprised, but was funny and said, "What's so difficult to deal with? Fill it with water or smoke it with smoke! When I was a child, I caught a mouse to satisfy my cravings. The meat was white and not unpalatable."
