About ten miles behind Changchao Ore, the temple on the top of a small hill is surrounded by bamboo forests on all sides. On the gate of the temple, you can see four ancient characters covered with moss, "Kaiyuan Zen Temple": "Kaiyuan Zen Temple". It is said that it was in the Kaiyuan period when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered that a Kaiyuan Temple be built in all states across the country to save the dead souls of the dead in the water and land war. It has been passed down for a long time.

Kaiyuan Temple is located in Huaikan to the north, Huaikan is the command of the National Army guerrillas. Going northward, it is the Coal Mountain. To the east is the Zhangling Tea Farm, but most of the National Army guerrillas are stationed here. Li Yuan chose this place. One of the reasons is that most of the National Army guerrillas retreated to Guangde under the siege of the Japanese. The fan club is nominally still commanding the National Army guerrillas, but in fact they are not subordinate to each other. Now occupying this remote place will not attract the attention of those who are interested. Perhaps they think it is the remnants of the National Army guerrillas.

There was still some incense in Kaiyuan Temple in the early years, but later the warlords fought in a melee and slowly became ruined. Few people came here to burn incense again.

The fan club is now more than 20 people are cleaning up here. It has been confirmed that the temple is used as the base for the fan club. There are usually a small number of people at the foot of the mountain to be responsible for external publicity.

The terrain of Zhangling on the east is dangerous, and now there is a national army stationed there. There is no need to worry about the Japanese coming up there for the time being, because there are few people, so there is no need to leave the guard so far.

The smoke from the cooking stove in the mountains was rising, and the little girl was preparing lunch with Liu Qi.

The smoke of cooking was blown away by the wind on the mountain and soon disappeared into the mist in the bamboo forest.

Under the leadership of Chen Yong, the young people of Changchao officially started their quick military training. Li Yuan and Wang Shoupeng stood on the roof and were working.

Looking at the things below, the recruits felt that they underestimated these young people. Jiangnan people were outstanding. Many people still retained Liuyu and took on modern education to develop and promote each other. Most young people with some foundation in the family also practiced martial arts. Although they were not very powerful, everyone had some basic foundation and grew up much faster than ordinary soldiers training.

But these young people are a little disgusted with standing in the queue. In his opinion, this is just a fancy way. If he goes to the battlefield, Li Yuan saw it and thought that he still had to give them the two of them a warning. Either they would take it out to fight the Japanese or let the soldiers practice internally. But when he thought that internal training would be a waste of food, he would better fight the Japanese puppet army. This is a good idea.

Other soldiers from Qingshan Ou cut bamboo in the forest to repair the houses that were leaking from the top and leaking from the side.

Li Yuan and Wang Shoupeng were on the roof, while repairing the leaking roof tiles, while talking. Li Yuan didn't know much about the house repairs and started to work hard. The two of them were mainly communicating with the situation in Changchao Ore.

Wang Shoupeng took the stack of tiles handed over by Li Yuan, put the tiles layer by layer on the roof of the house, and said to Li: "There are almost 10,000 ordinary people in Changchao O now, most of them are from Changxing. The last time the Japanese swept the enemy, we guessed that there might be spies from the Japanese in the middle, but they still have no clues."

Li Yuan took a stack of tiles from the soldiers below and said to Wang Shoupeng who was tiling: "This is not the most important thing. What I worry about is that you are nominally a guerrilla army of the National Army. Do you brothers follow the organization's arrangements?"

Faced with Li Yuan's concerns, Wang Shoupeng smiled slightly: "The army we organized represents the people's army and the army of our people. In fact, everyone still doesn't understand it. However, after I have been working here these days, they should have seen it. We are mainly for the people, and there is definitely no problem in obeying orders."

Li Yuan was a little confused: "You are developing your team here, have you not found a guerrilla team in the National Army?"

Wang Shoupeng smiled bitterly and said, "I have looked for it. They think we are scholars. They say they are scholars with thin elbows and can't even hold the gun, and they don't like us. In fact, I guess they should think that we are educated and will be suspicious of being popular and dare not ask us."

He paused: "There is another problem. The environment here is very poor and the equipment is also very poor. We don't even have a few guns. Last month, he said that he could go to Tiantai Mountain to get the gun. We didn't get a notice and missed it. But we are really working for these poor people. If we hadn't found enlightened gentry in those places to solve the food problem, many of these ordinary people would have starved to death. Although it was said that our area was not short of food, the arrival of the war turned this place into a hell on earth. Now everyone wouldn't have enough food."

Li Yuan said: "After the 32 years of Guangde riot, our organization basically withdrew from this land, and the mass base is weak. According to Lao Shen, there are not many comrades in some counties in our organization, so you are working hard enough."

"We comrades are actually locals. Without them, my work would not be able to be carried out at all. In fact, in our eyes, the people are the foundation, they are our parents of food and clothing, and the foundation of our organization's existence. Therefore, if we really want to do things, we still have to start with the people."

Li Yuan immediately looked at this little Wang with admiration and said sincerely: "You can see through it thoroughly. I am much worse than you in this."

Wang Shoupeng stopped his work and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Don't look down on me. This is what the great leader in northern Shaanxi said. Lao Shen told me. Let's summarize it ourselves. The great leader also said that the war of resistance without the masses is not the war of resistance for the whole nation. It is just a local war of resistance. It is impossible to achieve victory. To achieve victory, the whole nation must unite to carry out the armed war of resistance."

Wang Shoupeng's words were very real, and there was no profound truth. Li Yuan was deeply touched by his heart.

"I heard Lao Shen talk about you and said that you have strong combat effectiveness. I didn't really believe it. I was a teacher and could be considered a trick. But when I see your walking and marching posture, at least the guerrillas of the National Army are far from comparable. It's not that I want to find out about your secrets, but I believe that the organization sent you here, so it's impossible for these people to come here, right?" After saying that, Wang Shoupeng stopped and looked at Li Yuan's eyes calmly.

Li Yuan actually knew what Wang Shoupeng wanted to know, but Li Yuan knew that this little Wang was not an organizational person yet, and he couldn't tell him some things. Li Yuan's main job was military development, to put it bluntly, it was to develop the team.

Seeing that Li Yuan did not reply, Wang Shoupeng probably knew what he was thinking: "I know the organization's regulations, and I will not inquire randomly. From the moment I am willing to do things for the organization, my beliefs are firm, so if there is anything inconvenient to say, you need not say it, I will prove it with actions."

Li Yuan did not hesitate: "I will announce an appointment this time. From now on, you will be the captain of the county brigade, Chaoli District squad. We are still called the fan club to the outside world. You can only know this secret alone, including our identity as the local armed forces of the National Army guerrillas."

"Thank you for your trust in the organization. I will definitely not let down the trust of the organization and keep the secrets of the organization."
