Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Shen Yan asked Inoue Yeren to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"Mr. Inoue, I've heard that you've been reformed very well and have helped our Eighth Route Army a lot. From now on, we'll be comrades on the same front."

Inoue Yeren was flattered: "Mr. Shen, I have deeply realized my mistakes during this period. I hope you can forgive the sins I committed before."

Shen Yan nodded: "It's great that you think this way. Last time I heard you had a wife and a daughter in Japan, right?"

"Them! What happened to them?"

Shen Yan looked at the excited Inoue and smiled slightly: "Don't get excited yet, they are very good. Inoue-kun, have you heard of the Ishikawa family?"

"I know that the Ishikawa family is very influential in the country, but they don't like war. They just do their own business, and those politicians respect them very much."

"Mr. Inoue, I am a very good friend of the Ishikawa family head. Although I have announced to the public that you have been executed, I am afraid that your wife and daughter will be bullied in China. So I plan to ask the Ishikawa family head to send your wife and daughter to China to reunite with you. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Inoue Yeren was extremely surprised: "Really, Mr. Shen! Thank you so much!"

Inoue Yoshito has been worried about his wife and daughter all these days, and he is very clear about the situation in Japan.

In addition to providing a negligible pension, the Japanese government would forcibly conscript the widows, and they had only one place to go: the devil's cave.

Inoue Yoshito thanked Shen Yan profusely, but Shen Yan waved his hand indifferently and told him not to take such a small matter to heart, as the Eighth Route Army treated their comrades as warmly as spring.

"Inoue-kun, are you familiar with Captain Ishida?"

"Ishida and I both belong to the 108th Division, and we were classmates at the Army University."

Shen Yan: "That's easy, Inoue-kun, I hope you can go and persuade him to turn back from his wrong path. He is now detained in the headquarters, please bring some food and go see him."

Inoue Yeren stood up and replied, "Hi! Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will do my best to make him change his mind."

Since returning from the Holy Land, Shen Yan has been thinking about what his teacher said. Violence is never the best way to solve a problem.

He tried to start by changing the mentality of the Japanese devils. He believed that these Japanese soldiers would be of great use in the future.

As soon as the news of Shen Yan's occupation of Changye was released, it caused an uproar in the city of Sichuan and Chongqing.

The diarist received a telegram from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, in which he praised the Eighth Route Army for its broad-mindedness for the first time.

But when he learned that Yan Wanren had already prepared to send officials to Changye County, he cursed again. He found Xu Qingbo and asked him to send someone to contact Shen Yan, and he must take control of Changye in his own hands.

Xu Qingbo was terrified when he received this task, but he had to carry out the order from his superior, so he asked his men to invite his good friend Dou Ruchang.

"Brother Ruchang, I have a mission that I need you to do in person."

Dou Ruchang saw his embarrassment and said with a smile: "What kind of task can make our boss Xu so embarrassed?"

Xu Qingbo recounted how his superiors had asked him to contact and win over Shen Yan.

Dou Ruchang looked at the list in his hand and not only approved Shen Yan's position as deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, but also provided a batch of weapons and equipment as well as silver dollars.

"The higher-ups think highly of Master Shen Shan, so the price is not low, right?"

Xu Qingbo smiled and said, "More than that, our guy said that Master Shen is a young hero, and he is different from those red parties and can be won over. To put it bluntly, he values ​​his influence in your circle. If I look at these things, it's just throwing meat buns at dogs."

"Then, Brother Qingbo, what do you think I should do on this trip?"

"Try to fight for it, but the control of Changye County must be in our own hands. If Shen Yan can't fight for it, we will find some way to plant a few nails around him!"

......

After repeated discussions between Shen Yan and the brigade commander, it was finally decided to have the 771st Regiment, the New st Regiment, and the Independent Regiment stationed around southeastern Shanxi.

The First Death Column and several other regiments developed in the inner circle of the three regiments.

In this way, no matter which side is attacked, other troops can quickly provide support.

"Xiao Shen, I will lead the troops ahead. I will wait for you at the brigade headquarters."

"Okay, Brigade Commander. I'll take over the post at the Brigade Headquarters after I finish handling the follow-up."

Shen Yansheng became the deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, so naturally he could not always stay with Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

Since he was also responsible for the handover between the two parties, the brigade commander led his troops back to the brigade headquarters first. At this time, only the troops holding the torch and the independent regiment temporarily responsible for the city defense were left in Changye County.

three days later

"Captain, a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops have arrived outside the city. The leader claims to be the head of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei. He said he was ordered to take over Changye County. He also brought a number of mules and horses loaded with weapons and equipment."

Shen Yan wasn't surprised at all, but Li Yunlong frowned.

Zhao Gang noticed that his expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Li? Do you know Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment?"

Li Yunlong shook his head. "I have heard of Chu Yunfei but never seen him. But I know this 358th Regiment very well. During the July 358 Incident, we were ordered to rush to the Yellow River ferry, but this th Regiment refused to let us cross, saying that we were not in the battle sequence of the National Army. I was so angry that I wanted to throw a tantrum. Fortunately, the instructor at the time stopped me."

"What happened next? How did you live?"

"Later, I don't know how Xiao Shen managed to make the company commander guarding the ferry stand still. Their soldiers thought that the leader had let us go, so we crossed the river without a hitch."

"Let's go, Lao Li, Political Commissar Zhao. Since they are giving us gifts, we can't neglect them."

Shen Yan put on his military uniform and led the two of them out of the city.

"Reporting to Brigade Commander Shen, the commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei, has been ordered by the commander of the Second War Zone to take County Magistrate An to Changye County to take up his post."

Shen Yan saluted him back: "Welcome, Captain Chu, County Magistrate An, please..."

Shen Yan welcomed the two men into the city and asked Tianming and his men to store all the supplies and equipment they had delivered into Zhiju's warehouse.

When everyone arrived at the headquarters, they sat down as host and guest. Shen Yan introduced Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to Chu Yunfei respectively.

When Chu Yunfei learned that the big head in front of him was Li Yunlong, his eyes immediately lit up.

"It is my great honor to meet with Brigade Commander Shen and Brother Yunlong today. Your deeds are well known to me. Defeating the Sakata Regiment head-on and commanding Sakata Nobutsu really gave us Chinese soldiers courage!"

"Hahaha, a mere Sakata is nothing to mention. Brother Yunfei, you are a contemporary hero. You were born in Huangpu, you are a disciple of the chairman, and you are also a favorite of the commander of the Second War Zone. You are doted on by both the aunts and the stepmothers. Old Li can't compare to you."

Chu Yunfei didn't care about the thorn in his words and looked at Shen Yan: "Brother Yunlong, you are joking. Your party did some excessive things before. This time it's good. Let's work together to relieve the leader's worries. But Yunfei has something unclear and I hope you can enlighten me, Chief Shen."

Shen Yan lowered his head and sipped his tea, his eyes still on the tea set in his hands, as if he wanted to see what era this antique was from.

When he heard Chu Yunfei wanted to ask him for advice, he put down his teacup and said, "Captain Chu, please speak."

"Before leaving, Chu heard that the chairman had also sent someone to take over Changye County. I wonder if Chief Shen is aware of this matter?"

Shen Yan was confused: "There is such a thing? I really don't know. Lv Ren, do you know? Did the brigade commander tell you anything when he left a few days ago?"

"Deputy Brigade Commander, I don't know either. But when the Brigade Commander left, he said that no matter who takes over Changye County, it has nothing to do with our Eighth Route Army. I forgot about it because you drank too much that day."
