Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

After leaving the room, Shen Yan saw that it was already evening, so he asked Zhuge Hongyuan and others to arrange dinner.

Li Yunlong was in high spirits and wanted to have a few more drinks with Taoist Duan.

"Old man, you really opened my eyes. You must tell me more about it and let us all learn your special skills."

Master Jin Guang stroked his beard and laughed: "Hahaha, it's just a trivial trick. If you are interested, I will talk to you about it."

The crowd surrounded Master Jin Guang and invited him into the regiment headquarters, where they set up a banquet.

Master Jin Guang told everyone many interesting stories from his youth, which made everyone very happy.

During the dinner, Li Yunlong talked about the idea of ​​forming a cavalry battalion.

"Xiao Shen, Sun Desheng is in your guard company now. Transfer him to our Lao Li to use. This guy is good at training cavalry. He was a cavalryman when he was in Shi Yousan's unit."

Shen Yan looked up at Li Yunlong and said with a smile: "It's no problem for the regiment commander to transfer people, but are you sure you can keep this cavalry battalion? Won't the brigade commander come to you to congratulate you on your prosperity?"

"How could that be? The brigade commander had said so before. Besides, these are just some military horses."

Shen Yan laughed: "Captain, think carefully about the first time we attacked Changye County."

Li Yunlong then recalled that when he, Shen Yan, and You Ke attacked Changye County and emptied the county town, the brigade commander went to the New 1st Regiment's base that day to congratulate the two on their fortune, and then took away two-thirds of the supplies.

His face turned ugly and he asked hurriedly, "What should we do? We don't want the cooked duck to fly away for nothing, right?"

Shen Yan took a sip of wine and gave him some advice: "Captain, trust me and hand it over. Take out half of the horses and equipment and exchange some people with the brigade commander. What our regiment is in urgent need of now is manpower, especially veterans and political workers. The hundreds of prisoners of war I brought back plus the original recruits of the independent regiment account for three quarters of the entire regiment. This is extremely detrimental to the development of our regiment."

Li Yunlong felt a little pained when hearing this and said, "So much! Take out half? No, no, it's too much."

"Captain, we can only support half of them. It's already very good to organize a reinforced cavalry company. Food is tight in the entire Henan region now. We have enough equipment but the consumption of horses is too high. One horse consumes three to four times more than one soldier. Can you afford to keep so many?"

Kong Jie also chimed in: "I see Xiao Shen talks a lot, you, Old Li, shouldn't treat it like a gold ingot. Just hand it over if it's due."

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing Kong Jie's words, except Li Yunlong, who was drinking in a depressed mood.

Zhao Gang also asked Shen Yan at this time: "Commissioner Shen, just now you said that you need some political workers. Do you have any good ideas in this regard?"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "It's not an opinion. I learned this from our regiment commander. Commander, do you still remember the first time we incorporated the puppet troops in Liujiazhuang?"

Li Yunlong thought carefully while holding the bowl: "Of course I remember, Da Biao and I were just a few people who controlled this group of puppet soldiers, and then took them to Liujiazhuang for revenge. I didn't expect that You Ke and his men got there first."

Shen Yan nodded: "To the regiment commander, the key is revenge. It's all your credit that this group of puppet soldiers can become the iron-clad soldiers of the New 1st Regiment. We might as well learn from this and let the political workers bring the new recruits to complain together. They can tell us how the Japanese invaders and traitors oppressed them over the years."

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up: "Commissioner Shen, are you talking about holding a meeting to recall the past?"

"It's similar to this, but don't be too deliberate. You can spread them out and let the veterans talk to them from time to time. We are all brothers, and brothers can talk about anything."

Zhao Gang raised his wine bowl and toasted to Shen Yan: "Commissioner Shen, I toast you. I didn't expect that you are also unique in regular work. I will sort these out now."

Zhao Gang drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and ran back to his room. Li Yunlong joked while peeling peanuts.

"These intellectuals are just too naive! Unlike us, how did they say that? What the hell is going on?"

Zhuge Hongyuan replied: "The commander is like a mountain collapsing in front of him without changing his expression."

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Kong Jie laughed at him and said, "Old Li, don't embarrass yourself with your little knowledge. You don't even know the word "a shoulder pole falling down", and you're still reciting ancient poetry."

"Hahaha, drink"

Master Jin Guang was deeply moved as he listened to their words. He picked up the wine bowl and looked at everyone.

"I am eighty-six years old this year. I have seen the Qing army, the Taiping army and many other armies, but this is the first time I have seen an army like yours. According to your official positions, you are also powerful, but you are not arrogant at all and never harass the people. The Yue Family Army in the opera who loves soldiers like his own sons is just like this. I toast you!"

Everyone stood up and said, "Don't dare, old man, we toast to you, let's drink together."

......

In the headquarters of the commander of the first army of Japanese pirates invading China in Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka was sitting at the table writing a letter to the ninja leader of Higashiyama.

The one who was preparing to inspect China this time was Hattori Naoomi, a retainer of the Tokugawa family in Japan.

Fearing that something might go wrong, he asked the head ninja to send a few ninjas to protect him. This would also help in unblocking the Bihe ninja.

He had just stopped writing when Yamamoto Kazuki walked into the room.

"Teacher, I just received news that the Imperial Army Cavalry Camp in Wanjia Town and the Zhangzhuang Training Ground were attacked. No one was left alive."

Shinozuka Yoshio extended his hand and motioned him to sit down: "Yamamoto-kun, who do you think did this?"

"From the map, it should be the Eighth Route Army from Yangcun who did it. Only they could reach Wanjia Town and Zhangzhuang in the rear in such a short time!"

Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head: "Yamamoto-kun, you overlooked someone."

"Who? Teacher, please tell me."

"Shen Yan"

Yamamoto Ikki asked in confusion: "Teacher, according to our intelligence, Shen Yan is the deputy commander of the New 1st Regiment. But the defenders of Yang Village are obviously not the New 1st Regiment. I have fought with them. Although their soldiers are of good quality, their weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of the New 1st Regiment."

"ho ho"

Shinozuka Yoshio laughed and explained to him: "Yamamoto-kun, you don't know our opponent well enough. This is not an opponent who plays by the rules. Even military regulations have no restrictions on him. I guess he may have formed a special force of aliens, just like Higashi Shinobu. Today he may be in the Shinichi Regiment and tomorrow he may be in another unit. It can be seen from this division of forces that it is his work."

Yamamoto Ikki thought about it carefully and found that the defeats in Wanjia Town and Zhangzhuang this time were similar to the previous defeats in Changye County.

They all break out in multiple locations and launch attacks at lightning speed, making it difficult to defend against.

"Teacher, since we are sure he is near Yangcun, should we implement the plan to decapitate him? In my opinion, his importance is no less than those senior officers of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters."

Shinozuka Yoshio stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be impatient, Yamamoto-kun. It is better to leave it to the Bihe ninja to deal with Shen Yan. You have also been to Bihe Mountain, and you know how difficult those ninjas are to deal with. He is more cunning than you think. The time in Jinling was the best opportunity, but unfortunately he escaped. Our most important task at present is to receive the Hattori envoy well, and you have to give a perfect answer."

Yamamoto Ikki stood up and said, "Hey! Don't worry, teacher. I will definitely choose the right target and help you realize your dream!"
