Jin Guofeng felt a little ashamed that the Yongminzhuang of Songshan Township and their families left behind after the war were left to Yang Zhen, the newly promoted Songshan regiment training commander, to take over and resettle them.

But in fact, this problem doesn't matter to Yang Zhen. He doesn't mind what others don't want, and is even willing to accept these people.

Yang Zhen knew very well that he was going to carry out large-scale construction in Songshan City in the future. Songshan City always had more soldiers and fewer people, which was not a long-term solution.

At the very least, the advance battalion's ironworks and ammunition factory are now short of manpower.

After having these strong people, he can make use of them no matter whether they are old, weak or disabled, including the women and children behind them.

However, seeing that Jin Guofeng's face was full of guilt, he thought again and again, and finally said: "There is no problem in accepting it! It's just that I don't know or am familiar with An Qinghou and his Songshan Minzhuang! Let's do it -

—”

When he said this, Yang Zhen suddenly pointed to the brothers Jin Shijun and Jin Shijie standing behind Jin Guofeng, and then said to Jin Guofeng:

"Just like before, when brother first entered Songshan City, brother arranged for a liaison officer who is familiar with the situation, and everything will be easy to handle! Today, brother, you can just leave, but before you leave, you must make arrangements for brother

A liaison officer!

"First of all, the defense of Songshan City was arranged by you, brother. I am afraid that I don't know the depth and will ruin the foundation you left. What will happen if the Tatars come again in the future?

"Secondly, Deputy General Xia's headquarters, General Lu Shen's headquarters, and An Ti have been transferred here. Brother, I don't know much about the situation. We also need a suitable person to contact and communicate with all parties! Brother, let's see, is it okay?!"

What Yang Zhen said sounds reasonable.

However, Jin Guofeng looked back at his two sons with a troubled expression on his face, unwilling to leave any of them behind.

In fact, what Jin Guofeng didn't know was that the reasons and excuses Yang Zhen came up with were all made up by himself.

Because whether it is Xia Chengde, Lu Pinqi, or An Qinghou, Yang Zhen does not need anyone to help contact them.

He believed that he could control these people. As long as the advance battalion for the Eastern Expedition was reorganized, whether these people would obey or not would not be a problem.

He made up these reasons out of nowhere just to keep a son of Jin Guofeng.

In fact, it was just to help Jin Guofeng, a figure he admired, save a son.

Yang Zhen saw Jin Guofeng's troubled expression, so he added: "It doesn't take long! It can take as long as half a year, or as little as three months. When the brothers are familiar with the situation inside and outside Songshan City, they will ask the son to go to Ningyuan to reunite with his brother!"

"Moreover! My brother is now ordered to reorganize the advance battalion for the Eastern Expedition. The two sons and brothers have left one to be my adjutant. Can I, Yang Zhen, still treat him badly?"

Yang Zhen said this with a smile on his face, looking at Jin Guofeng, waiting for his answer.

If he refused, he would naturally not be able to force him to stay, and both brothers Jin Shijun and Jin Shijie would have died outside Ningyuan City.

After all, Jin Guofeng also had a cheerful temperament. Seeing Yang Zhen's sincerity, he turned around and asked his two sons: "Since Mr. Yang has said so, which one of you two is willing to stay in Songshan for a while to serve Yang?"

The commander-in-chief serves as the adjutant?!"

Jin Shijun and Jin Shijie looked at each other. Finally, Jin Shijun stepped out from behind Jin Guofeng, took a step forward, cupped his fists at Jin Guofeng and said:

"Father! My son is willing to stay! My son is willing to serve as an adjutant beside General Yang, and work for General Yang to contact various defense ministries in Songshan City!"

Jin Guofeng saw that his eldest son had stood up and expressed his willingness to stay and help Yang Zhen. He didn't know what to say, but he still looked hesitant.

Yang Zhen was very satisfied with Jin Shijun's decision.

He had not been in contact with Jin Shijun for a long time, only half a month, but he had a very good impression of Jin Shijun.

If it was not good, there was no need for him to do this, and he would just let them follow Jin Guofeng to Ningyuan and leave it to fate.

On the contrary, this young man, who is only a few years younger than himself, has a measured approach and is calm in everything he does. He is worthy of being a general and is very much like his father, Jin Guofeng.

When Yang Zhen saw that Jin Guofeng still refused to let go, he immediately said with a smile: "If brother doesn't allow it, brother here naturally doesn't dare to force it! However, brother, I would like to advise brother -

"If it is an eagle, you should always give it a chance to spread its wings and fly; if it is a horse, you should always give it a chance to gallop across the earth! Young people must learn to grow up slowly and cannot always live under the wings of their parents!

"Brother is here, and I treat him like a brother! Brother is not here, and I treat Shijun like a brother! I think he is a piece of rough jade. With a little experience, he is a thousand-mile horse of the Lao Jin family! If you can trust me, brother,

You don’t have to worry about his future, it’s all taken care of by your brother!”

After Yang Zhen said this, Jin Guofeng could no longer hesitate. He immediately raised his hands and said to Yang Zhen: "That's it! I'll leave Quanzi Shijun to General Yang!"

After Jin Guofeng said this to Yang Zhen, he turned back to a man behind him and said, "Hu Liu! You lead a small team to stay, and follow Shijun from now on!"

Yang Zhen went to see the man, but saw that the man looked familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he was the guard Jin Shijun who had been stationed with Jin Shijun at the gatehouse in the front yard of the Chenghuang Temple.

Yang Zhen looked at Hu Liu, then at Jin Shijun, and was overjoyed: "Okay! Now, not only has Jin Shijun been retained, but also a small team has been brought to the advance battalion!"

It wasn't that Yang Zhen insisted on poaching people from Jin Guofeng, but it was because he couldn't bear to see Jin Guofeng and his son all die in the battle under Ningyuan City.

Such heroic figures should leave descendants and descendants to inherit or enjoy the supreme glory created for them by their ancestors.

It's just that Jin Guofeng and his son still don't understand what Yang Zhen is doing now, and neither do the other generals in Songshan City.

But one day, they will understand.

Jin Guofeng and Yang Zhen handed over the defense and troops, and then left Songshan and went to the Ningyuan General Military Mansion to serve as the Ningyuan Regiment Training Chief Officer.

Everyone present sent him off together, all the way to the south gate of Songshan City.

Just outside the south gate, after everyone said goodbye to Jin Guofeng, Yang Zhen insisted on sending them some distance forward.

It was not until Jin Guofeng repeatedly persuaded him to turn around that Yang Zhen solemnly said to Jin Guofeng on the spacious post road outside the south gate of Songshan City:

"General Bing Jin! Yesterday in Ningyuan, the prince read out the imperial edict. Brother, I heard that in the edict given to you, there is a sentence: "The number of soldiers under the command is less than three thousand, but it is capable of resisting the tens of thousands of Jianzhou ugly captives, and the soldiers can protect the isolated city"!

I wonder if Mr. Jin knows what this sentence means?!"

Yang Zhen's question made Jin Guofeng stunned, and he immediately asked: "Is it because of this sentence that Mr. Yang insists on seeing me off?!"

"You can say that too!"

Yang Zhen first admitted that he really meant this, and then continued: "Brother, before we went north to Songshan, we were strangers to General Jin, but after arriving at Songshan City, we admired General Jin very much! So, on the occasion of parting,

I have some heartfelt words that I want to tell my brother!"

After Yang Zhen said this, he looked at Jin Guofeng, who was still full of doubts.

When Yang Zhen saw this, he stopped being secretive and said directly: "I don't know if my brother has ever thought about why the emperor said that my brother is guarding Songshan as a soldier to protect the isolated city?!"

At this point, Yang Zhen didn't care whether Jin Guofeng understood what he meant, but continued: "Songshan is located in Jinzhou, between Xingshan Mountain. It is only a dozen miles away from Jinzhou, and no more than twenty miles away from Xingshan City.

, it’s only about twenty miles, no more than thirty miles at most!

"More than thirty miles to the south, there is Tashan City! More than thirty miles to the south, there is Lianshan Castle! Even though it is only a hundred and twenty miles away from Ningyuan City! But why did the Holy One say that Songshan is

Where is an isolated city?!"

Jin Guofeng was more familiar with the terrain in western Liaoning than Yang Zhen. Now when he heard him talk about these things and then recalled every word in the imperial edict, he finally had questions in his heart:

"Is it because His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in the capital, does not know the terrain of western Liaoning? Is it because the military department of the imperial court does not understand the terrain of western Liaoning?! It cannot be possible!"

Jin Guofeng thought of many possible explanations, but they were quickly overturned by himself.

Yang Zhen saw that Jin Guofeng was thoughtful, so he continued: "Is it because the Holy One does not understand the terrain of western Liaoning and the situation of Songjin?! That is absolutely not the case!

"And it's just the opposite! The reason why the Holy One pointed out in the imperial edict to my brother that my brother's contribution to guarding Songshan was to protect the isolated city is precisely because the Holy One is too aware of the twists and turns involved!

"Songshan is located between Jinzhou and Xingshan. In terms of geography, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be regarded as an isolated city! But in terms of the sinister human heart, it is sandwiched between Jinzhou and Xingshan, but it is an isolated city.
