My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

When Tan Yankai saw that he changed the subject, although he was angry, he now felt that Jiang Li was his biggest enemy, just as He Jian said.

It is indeed not a good idea to engage in internal fighting, but due to face, he did not say much, just turned his head to the side and stopped talking.

At this time, Tang Shengzhi saw that the situation was a bit cold, and immediately spoke up to smooth things over, "Brother He is right, our biggest enemy now is that guy named Jiang, and we can talk about other things later, later!"

After saying that, he invited He Jian to the pavilion to talk. He Jian glanced around the pavilion and the three guards, then turned back and called his own guards, then followed them into the pavilion.

The four of them sat around the stone table in the pavilion and began to discuss the next specific plan.

Tang Shengzhi was the first to ask, "I wonder if Brother He has called us here this time because he has thought of a way to deal with that Jiang guy?"

Seeing that he got straight to the point right away, He Jian did not hide anything and directly exposed his ambition.

"Since Brother Tang has spoken out, I will also speak frankly."

"Brothers, I think the reason why we were defeated so badly this time is because each of us was under unified command and had some thoughts on preserving our strength, which allowed that Jiang guy to take advantage of us. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

The three of them were immediately shocked when they heard this. They knew what He Jian meant, but they still held out a glimmer of hope, so they didn't point it out.

But Tan Yankai could no longer sit still. He was already brooding over what had happened before, and when he heard these words, he immediately got furious.

It slammed the stone table, stood up, pointed at He Jian's nose and roared, "What do you mean by that, He? Are you planning to swallow the three of us? Who gave you the courage?"

He Jian looked at Tan Yankai, pointed at himself in the nose and cursed him angrily, and his anger immediately exploded.

"Who gave me the courage?"

"It was the 50,000 defeated soldiers I subdued that gave me the courage. It was the 200,000 armed militiamen I subdued that gave me the courage!"

"Are these two points enough?"

After hearing this, the three people at the scene were unwilling, but they had to admit that He Jian was the strongest now and he had the confidence to say this.

But these three guys are used to being the boss, so how could they be willing to be obedient and serve as the younger brothers of others? In the end, they still tried to win it over with words.

But since He Jian has already said this, how could he give them a chance?

Finally, he was pushed to the limit and shouted, "Guards, get ready. If these people dare to move, kill them without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, He Jian's guards immediately took out two pistols and pointed them at the other three guards, intending to attack them if they had a disagreement.

Seeing this scene, the three were stunned for a moment, and the guards behind them were also afraid to make any move.

He Jian saw that he had taken the initiative, so he immediately smiled and said to the three men, "You three are smart people, I think you should know what to do, right?"

At this moment, the three of them were really regretting their decision. They knew that He Jian might use the 200,000 young and strong men in his hands to do something.

They were forced to make concessions, so they didn't even enter the city. But they never expected that He Jian would be so cruel and dared to overturn the table.

Isn't he worried that if he and others resist and a fight breaks out, wouldn't he, He Jian, who is so close to them, die too?

To be honest, this is because He Jian doesn’t know what they are thinking. If he knew, he would just say “haha”.

After all, based on his understanding of these people, they were the kind of people who valued their lives and had no courage to fight to the death, so he dared to take a bold gamble.

As it turned out, he made the right bet. Although Tang Shengzhi, Zhao Hengti and Tan Yankai were extremely unwilling at this time, they were like meat on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered.

In the end, I could only agree reluctantly.

When He Jian got this answer, a chrysanthemum-like smile immediately broke out on his face. He then asked the three men to take away the guards' guns first, and then took over the thousands of people they brought with them.

But just after the three men ordered the guards to disarm, something unexpected happened.

When He Jian's guards heard that the boss was about to succeed, they relaxed their vigilance. However, one of Tang Shengzhi's guards suddenly pulled out a pistol from behind his back.

He just pulled the trigger repeatedly at He Jian, making two holes in his body.

While fighting, he turned sideways and hid behind the pillar of the pavilion, shouting loudly, "General, hide quickly!"

When He Jian's guard heard the gunshots, he subconsciously pulled the trigger and shot at the people on the opposite side.

Dozens of pistols fired at the same time, immediately turning Tang Shengzhi, Zhao Hengti and Tan Yankai into a hornet's nest before they could react, and their guards also suffered heavy casualties.

But there were many guards among the three of them, and they were standing in three opposite directions. He Jian's guards were not able to kill everyone in an instant.

The guards were suddenly attacked, and in order to save their lives they immediately sought cover and drew their guns to fight back.

In just a moment, the scene changed from tense to a hail of bullets.

The instigator, however, carefully retreated and hid behind the pillar of the pavilion, and did not participate in the fight.

As the sound of gunfire spread, the armies brought by the four giants immediately moved and rushed towards the pavilion at the same time.

When they saw that the guards around their boss were fighting with the enemy, they didn't care what was going on and immediately turned on combat mode and started shooting at the enemy.

The fighting went on for more than ten minutes, and with the arrival of He Jian's troops, this "unexpected" battle was finally brought under control.

The price was that the four big bosses and their guards were basically all killed, and the person who fired the first shot was in the woods far away, watching the scene with a sneer.

"You dare to fight our commander? I will kill you!"

With that he turned and disappeared into the woods.

Not long after, Jiang Li received the news personally brought by Zhao Hong, "Commander, Commander, great news!"

Jiang Li hadn't seen Zhao Hong yet, but he could hear his surprised and happy shouts from afar.

When he arrived in front of him, Jiang Li shouted, "What's the point of yelling like that? Do you still have any military manners?"

After being yelled at by Jiang Li, Zhao Hong immediately stopped shouting and saluted Jiang Li seriously, "Commander, I know I was wrong, I will pay more attention next time!"

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction after seeing this, turned around and sat on the chair and asked softly, "Tell me, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
