Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Fang Ligong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and invited Chu Yunfei to get out of the car.

After Chu Yunfei got off the car, he immediately bowed to Li Yunlong and said with a smile: "Brother Yunlong, I have heard of your name for a long time. I am Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment!"

Li Yunlong also responded with a fist salute.

Then, Chu Yunfei glanced behind Li Yunlong and his eyes stopped at a certain position.

There, Cao Geng was standing quietly beside Cao Dabiao.

Chu Yunfei's expression suddenly became more respectful than when he saw Li Yunlong. He turned to Cao Geng and asked, "May I ask which unit you are from?"

Li Yunlong and others looked surprised. Could it be that the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army came to Cangyunling just to meet Cao Geng?

Cao Geng was also stunned. He was very familiar with Chu Yunfei. Although his ideology was different from that of the Eighth Route Army, he was also a tough man facing foreign enemies.

He thought for a moment and answered, "Cao Geng, former company commander of the 325nd Battalion of the th Regiment of the Central Army."

Chu Yunfei was stunned: "325th Regiment? Is it the regiment that was dispersed by the Japanese in the Battle of Xinkou?"

Cao Geng nodded: "That's right."

"No wonder!" Chu Yunfei nodded.

Only then did he understand why Cao Geng violated the ban of the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone to help the New 1st Regiment.

It turned out that he was an officer of the 325th Regiment of the Central Army that was disbanded by the Japanese three years ago and has not been rebuilt since then!

It is understandable that a wandering company commander had never heard of the ban issued by the commander of the Second War Zone.

Thinking of Cao Geng's military achievements that Fang Ligong had just described, Chu Yunfei was even more in awe.

"When the Shinichi Regiment was fighting with the Sakata Regiment, our 358th Regiment's frontline observation post saw it all clearly!"

"Without you, the Sakata Squadron's command post would not have been destroyed, and the Sakata Squadron would not have been wiped out so quickly!"

"Your Excellency's heroic attitude in fighting in Cangyun Ridge and killing countless enemies makes me deeply admire you! Since you haven't returned to the Central Army to report, I wonder if you are interested in joining our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army 358th Regiment?"

Hearing this, before Cao Geng could respond, Li Yunlong and others' eyes suddenly widened.

"what?"

"Killing the enemy alone in Cangyun Ridge?"

"And he really blew up the Sakata Regiment's command post by himself?"

Everyone in the new group was shocked.

Just now, they were still doubting the authenticity of what Cao Geng said.

He said that he was alone in Cangyun Ridge assisting the New 1st Regiment. At first, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment did not believe him.

But now, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, was also present. He expressed his admiration for Cao Geng and even proposed to invite Cao Geng to join the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

How could there be any falsehood in every word Cao Geng said just now?

On Cangyun Ridge, the only one who assisted their new regiment in destroying the enemy was Cao Geng.

Not only did he blow up the Japanese headquarters, he also single-handedly wiped out the entire Sakata Regiment for the Shinichi Regiment.

This fact was placed before everyone, yet everyone still found it hard to believe.

Suddenly, all the people present in the New 1st Regiment focused their eyes on Cao Geng, and all of them revealed expressions of horror!

Cao Geng was stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Yunfei wanted to recruit him to join the 358th Regiment at this moment.

After hearing what Chu Yunfei said, Li Yunlong was also shocked at first.

He also didn't expect that Cao Geng's previous remarks were actually true.

This Cao Geng actually blew up the Sakata Regiment's command post by himself.

Not only that, he also assisted the Shinichi Regiment in annihilating the Sakata Regiment!

This is incredible.

Despite this, even though Li Yunlong was shocked, he could no longer sit still when he heard Chu Yunfei's attempt to win over Cao Geng!

Although Cao Geng used to be a company commander of the Central Army, he has not returned to the Central Army to report.

Chu Yunfei actually recruited Cao Geng in front of him, simply ignoring him, Old Li!

Chu Yunfei took a fancy to Cao Geng, and his son, Old Li, was also drooling over Cao Geng.

The next moment, Li Yunlong cast an anxious look at Cao Dabiao: Go and win over your brother quickly, otherwise such a good talent will be snatched away by others!

Cao Dabiao understood immediately. He sincerely hoped that Cao Geng could join the New 1st Regiment. He walked up to Cao Geng and said, "Second brother, if you don't want to return to the Central Army, why don't you consider joining our New 1st Regiment?"

"After joining the new regiment, we two brothers will fight side by side, which will definitely scare the Japanese devils!"

"What's more, in the entire 38th Brigade, who dares to look down on our New 1st Regiment's Commander Li? Following Commander Li, we can fight side by side. Isn't this better than joining the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"

If Cao Geng could join the new regiment, the two brothers could take care of each other.

Besides, Captain Li Yunlong was really good to him.

If Cao Geng could fight alongside him, Cao Dabiao would have no regrets even if he died.

At this time, Li Yunlong also said: "The original commander of the third battalion of my new regiment died in Cangyun Ridge. If you, brother Cao Geng, join the new regiment, I can directly appoint you as the commander of the third battalion!"

Li Yunlong attached great importance to Cao Geng and acted decisively.

His intuition told him that if he could get Cao Geng to join the New 1st Regiment, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost for the New 1st Regiment!

After hearing Li Yunlong's words, whether it was Cao Geng, Chu Yunfei or others, they were all shocked instantly!

"What? Just let Cao Geng be the commander of the third battalion?"

"Li Yunlong is really decisive."

Everyone present was surprised.

Chu Yunfei felt secretly helpless.

He actually also wanted to recruit Cao Geng into the 358th Regiment.

But in the 358th Regiment, he could only give Cao Geng the position of company commander at most.

Because Cao Geng used to be a company commander in the Central Army.

Although Cao Geng had strong personal abilities, he had the idea of ​​making friends with him.

But Chu Yunfei had no idea whether Cao Geng was capable of being the battalion commander.

What's more, if Cao Geng joined the 358th Regiment and he had just arrived, he really didn't dare to give him a position above company commander directly, for fear of affecting the stability of military morale.

However, just as he was hesitating, Li Yunlong actually directly proposed that Cao Geng be appointed as the battalion commander.

That is the rank second only to the regiment commander.

Just give it.

Chu Yunfei had to admit that it was difficult for him to offer Cao Geng better terms than this.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh.

When Cao Geng heard this, he was immediately surprised.

He didn't expect Li Yunlong to value him so much.

Are we going to give him the position of battalion commander of the third battalion when we first meet?
