"Okay, you kid, stop thinking nonsense, I'm not here for your political commissar!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was scared, the boss stopped teasing him.
"Boss, you told me earlier, you scared me to death!"
Li Qiufan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the boss said that he was not poaching Zhao Gang.
"Boss, what exactly is the meeting going on this time? And why did you ask Lao Zhao to come over?"
After relaxing, Li Qiufan began to inquire about the news with the boss. Zhao Gang beside him also looked at the boss expectantly.
"I called Zhao Gang here to find out about the situation of the Yanchang Oil Mine. Zhao Gang must be handling this matter. What's the point of calling you?"
The boss first explained why he called Zhao Gang over, and then Li Qiufan suddenly realized.
"In addition, the theme of this meeting is mainly to discuss the matter of continuing to go south, and also the issue of the three horses in the northwest!"
After explaining the reason for calling Zhao Gang, the boss once again explained the reason for this meeting.
"Three Northwest Horses? Ma Jiajun?"
After hearing what the boss said, Li Qiufan muttered and then asked the boss.
"Yes, it's that Ma Jiajun. Since the beginning of the war, the Ma Jiajun has been ready to make a move. They even attacked our team before, causing a lot of casualties to our brother troops!"
"Now the three horses are entrenched in Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai respectively. They are eyeing the west side of our army. We must guard against this!"
The boss nodded towards Li Qiufan, and then expressed his worries about Ma Jiajun.
Li Qiufan has some understanding of Ma Jiajun. He is more like a horse bandit than an army, and his behavior is extremely cruel.
"Boss, should we operate on Ma Jiajun first?"
Li Qiufan asked the boss tentatively, after all, if Ma Jiajun could be solved, then all worries would be eliminated.
"It's too early to attack the Ma Jiajun now. Our troops are simply not enough."
"In addition, the Ma's army is mainly composed of cavalry. Even if they can fight, they will not be able to catch up. Unless they deploy an absolutely superior force to surround them, it will be difficult to completely eliminate them!"
The boss shook his head at Li Qiufan and said that he wanted to solve Ma Jiajun even more, but the current talks could not solve Ma Jiajun.
"But even if we don't take action against them, the Ma Jiajun will probably join the battle when we go south."
Li Qiufan frowned after hearing the boss's words. This Ma Jiajun was really like a cancer, making them uncomfortable no matter whether it moved or not.
"That's why I called a meeting of all the troops to discuss how to deal with this Ma Jiajun!"
The boss nodded in agreement with Li Qiufan's words, and then spoke to him.
After hearing the boss's words, Li Qiufan didn't speak again, but absentmindedly nibbled on the steamed bun in his hand.
After dinner, Li Qiufan and Zhao Gang came to the place arranged for them to sleep.
After arriving, Li Qiufan did not prepare to sleep. Instead, he asked the soldier who brought them to find a map for him.
"I asked Qiu Fan, what are you doing? Why are you studying the map without sleeping at this late hour?"
Zhao Gang asked Li Qiufan with some confusion. He had long sensed that something was wrong with Li Qiufan.
He looked very worried since he finished eating, but Zhao Gang didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Leave me alone, go to bed first!"
Li Qiufan did not explain. He waved to Zhao Gang and walked to the door to wait.
Not long after, the soldier who went looking for the map came back. Li Qiufan took the map from the soldier's hand and returned to the house.
After returning to the house, Li Qiufan spread the map flat on the table, then lit the lamp and started reading.
The next day, Zhao Gang got up at dawn. He was about to take a shower when he saw Li Qiufan sleeping on the table as soon as he walked out of the room.
"Qiu Fan, Qiu Fan?"
Seeing Li Qiufan lying on the table, Zhao Gang quickly stepped forward and pushed him a few times, and called out twice softly.
"Huh? Is it dawn yet?"
After being pushed twice by Zhao Gang, Li Qiufan opened his hazy eyes, then raised his head and asked Zhao Gang.
"There's just some light, why don't you go to bed and sleep? Why are you lying on the table?"
Zhao Gang opened the door to let Li Qiufan look at the sky outside, and then asked him.
"I looked at the map too late last night, so I just lay down here and fell asleep without moving."
After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Qiufan pointed to the map on the table, then stretched his waist and said to Zhao Gang.
"What did you find out about your research?"
After hearing that Li Qiufan had been looking at the map all night, Zhao Gang asked him doubtfully.
"Old Zhao, I'm going to apply to the boss to play three horses. What do you think?"
Li Qiufan didn't write any ink and directly told Zhao Gang what he thought, which shocked Zhao Gang quite a lot.
"What? Going to play three horses? Didn't you wake up?"
Zhao Gang felt that Li Qiufan must be talking nonsense, otherwise it would be impossible for him to jump out and fight against the three horses.
"I'm not kidding you! I'm very sober now!"
After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Qiufan said to Zhao Gang angrily.
"Didn't you listen to what the boss said last night? How can we catch up with the horse's hooves with our two legs!"
Zhao Gang is very confident in the combat effectiveness of his own troops, but as the boss said, even if he can defeat them without an absolute advantage in strength, it is useless because he can't catch up with them at all.
"Who said I have to chase them? Would I be stupid enough to let the infantry race against the cavalry?"
Li Qiufan rolled his eyes at Zhao Gang and said to him.
"Then how do you plan to fight?"
Zhao Gang heard from Li Qiufan's words that he already had an idea, and then immediately asked Li Qiufan.
"It's too early to say this now. I don't know if the boss agrees or not!"
Li Qiufan shook his head and did not explain. Instead, he got up and went to the yard to get water to wash his face.
Zhao Gang didn't ask any more questions after seeing this. He trusted Li Qiufan very much and he would definitely not risk the lives of the soldiers.
Time soon arrived in the evening, and all the commanders and fighters from each unit arrived at the military headquarters, and the boss immediately held a meeting.
After saying hello and being polite, everyone sat down and waited for the boss to speak.
"I won't say any more nonsense. I asked you to come to this meeting today. The main purpose is to discuss continuing to go south and how to deal with the Ma Jiajun."
"Next, tell us what you think and discuss a result as soon as possible."
When the boss saw that everyone was seated, he spoke to everyone straight to the point, and then the entire command center was reminded of the noisy discussion.
After the boss finished speaking, everyone was talking in twos and threes. Only Li Qiufan and Zhao Gang sat motionless on the stools.
"What are you doing, kid? I asked you to come to a meeting, why are you meditating here for me?"
The boss naturally noticed Li Qiufan's situation. Since Li Qiufan was sitting on the first seat to the left of the boss, the boss turned sideways and asked him.
