Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

"Shen Yan! Yes, that's Commander Shen's name. He's really back! Commander Shen is back!"

When the young men heard that it was Shen Yan's troops, they were very excited and ran around the street to tell others. Soon, more and more people gathered on the street.

Changye County, which originally seemed a bit deserted, became lively. Everyone held colorful flags in their hands, and some merchants even set off firecrackers in front of their doors.

The city square was crowded with people. An old man, leaning on a cane, pointed at the notice and read it word by word with trembling fingers.

With tears streaming down his face, he looked at Wu Baili on the stage: "I...I've seen you before. Last time you were standing next to Chief Shen. Okay, okay, Chief Shen didn't lie to us. He's really back."

At 7:50, the gate of Changye County slowly opened.

"Stand still and listen to my orders. Be alert when we enter the city."

In fact, Li Yunlong didn't need to remind them. The soldiers of the independent regiment were all excited and held their heads high. As the first troop of the entire 386th Brigade to enter Changye County, they were very proud.

"March in step! One, two, one!"

The soldiers of the independent regiment marched into Changye County in neat steps. Li Yunlong walked in the middle of the team with an unconcealable smile on his face.

The people on both sides of the street were cheering while holding all kinds of food and drinks in their hands. They stuffed the fruits and eggs that they were reluctant to eat into the soldiers' hands.

The soldiers kept refusing, but they could not resist the enthusiasm of the people.

When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang saw that their team was surrounded by the people, they discussed it and gave orders.

"The company commanders of each battalion should organize the collection of supplies from the villagers and give them to us. We cannot let the villagers suffer losses."

Some soldiers took two eggs from the civilians' egg basket and put a dollar in it.

"No, no!"

The young soldier returned to the team with a simple smile, and the team slowly walked to the podium in front of the square.

At this time, Shen Yan brought Kong Jie down from the stage and stood in front of the team.

Li Yunlong stepped forward and saluted Shen Yan: "Reporting to the deputy brigade commander, the independent regiment commander Li Yunlong and all the soldiers of the independent regiment have entered the city. Please give your instructions!"

Shen Yan returned the gift and stretched out his hand to shake his: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Li."

A reporter from a nearby newspaper took a camera and took pictures of the scene. Many years later, Shen Yan has become a leader whose every move can influence the direction of the country, but every time he looks at this photo, he reveals a deep affection of nostalgia.

Many people and things in this photo have gradually become memories.

Shen Yan led everyone to the stage. He cleared his throat and shouted into the loudspeaker: "Dear fellow villagers, do you still remember me?"

"Remember! Commander Shen, you are finally back."

"We're waiting for you to call back!"

Shen Yan listened to the shouts of the villagers and a smile appeared on his face. He put his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, listen to me. One year ago, Shen had no choice but to lead his troops to evacuate Changye. Today, I promise everyone that Changye County will never be invaded by the devils again! It will completely return to the rule of our Chinese people."

"it is good!"

"Great, Commander Shen!"

Afterwards, Shen Yan raised a few more requests, asking everyone to resume their normal lives and for those who should be doing business to continue doing business.

......

Li Yunlong sat on Ishida's office chair, touching things left and right, his face as happy as a peony.

"Xiao Shen, this little devil really knows how to enjoy himself. Why do I feel like I'm sitting on cotton?"

"This is real leather. This chair can be exchanged for a light machine gun."

Li Yunlong's eyes widened after hearing this: "A broken chair can be exchanged for a machine gun, but I am a poor man and cannot enjoy this thing."

Shen Yan, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang discussed the matters in the city. He asked Zhao Gang to organize a recruitment office immediately. The troops would not stay in Changye County for too long, so they should take this opportunity to expand the recruitment as much as possible.

In addition, each soldier entering the city was given a silver dollar so that they could broaden their horizons in the city. However, they had to go out under the leadership of their company or platoon leaders and were not allowed to violate the discipline of the Eighth Route Army.

Two days later, the brigade commander entered Changye County with several regiment commanders of the 386th Brigade.

As soon as they met, several team leaders started to feel aggrieved.

"Commander Shen, as soon as we entered the city, we saw the independent regiment recruiting soldiers. There were several recruiting offices alone. You are the leader of our entire 386th Brigade. You can't favor one over the other just because you have a good relationship with Li Datou."

"Yes, Brigade Commander Shen, you have to take care of us."

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and looked at Captain Cheng: "Blind Cheng, you haven't even graduated from elementary school yet you're still talking nonsense, you deserve it for coming late!"

A few old comrades met and started arguing in the headquarters, one after another insulted the other.

The brigade commander slammed the table in anger and said, "You're not fucking hungry, are you? Well, you guys keep arguing here! Xiao Shen, come eat with me."

Several regiment commanders suddenly fell silent and followed the brigade commander out in dejection.

Shen Yan took them to Jinhe Tower, where Mu Yun had prepared a sumptuous banquet.

The waiter served the last dish: "Baked Carp Noodles Yanjin Method"

The brigade commander adjusted his glasses and pointed at the food on the table and said with a smile: "Xiao Shen, this is too much during the war."

"This was all arranged by Shopkeeper Mu. If you want to criticize, you should ask him."

Mu Yun poured a glass of wine for the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, this Jinhe Tower is our own property, it doesn't cost much. And this is not considered harassing the people, let alone violating discipline. After all, I am also a member of our army."

"Hahaha, ok, let's have a toast together to celebrate our successful recovery of Changye County"

During the dinner, the brigade commander talked about the follow-up matters regarding Changye County. The headquarters had already reported the situation to Yan Wanren as requested by Shen Yan, and also invited them to garrison in Changye County to preside over the work in the city.

Shen Yan chuckled: "Yan Wanren gave us some benefits, we can't do it for him for nothing. Anyway, we have mobilized a brigade of troops."

"He promised to provide us with equipment for a reinforced regiment and an artillery battalion. He also promised to support us with 50,000 yuan in cash, which will be delivered to us in the next few days along with the officials who will take office in Changye County."

Shen Yan smacked his lips, thought the price was acceptable, and took out two letters from his pocket.

"These two copies are for the diarist, Brigadier General. One for the report, and one for the telegram."

The brigade commander read the two copies of the content and laughed: "Good, Xiao Shen, you have completely put the perfect person in."

One of them was a report that Shen Yan asked several newspaper owners to write for the public to see.

The other one was written by Shen Yan for his family. It was full of the difficulties faced by the Eighth Route Army. It explained that the attack on Changye County was forced, but the Eighth Route Army would definitely follow the leadership of the Sichuan and Chongqing governments.

As soon as the officials appointed by the government arrived, the 386th Brigade would immediately withdraw from Changye, and at the same time hope that the leader could provide some help to the Eighth Route Army.

Shen Yan did this after careful consideration. As soon as Yan Wanren made up his mind, he would immediately send a message to Sichuan and Chongqing. This would create a gap in the diarist's mind about Wanren's actions.

The two sides were fighting openly and secretly for the right to rule Changye. The Eighth Route Army could take this opportunity to adopt the strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside and turn Changye County into an isolated city.

After the banquet, Shen Yan secretly met with Inoue Yoshito in his room.

"Inoue-kun, we meet again!"

"Hi! I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Shen. You speak Japanese so well."

Ever since being beaten up by Shen Yan several times, Inoue Yiren has become completely obedient. Moreover, during his time in the Anti-War Alliance, Inoue Yiren was deeply educated. Not only did he confess all the information he knew, he also persuaded many Japanese prisoners of war.
