Back at the command center, hoping that the original county officials and the Eighth Route Army underground party were stopped outside. After confirming that there were no outsiders in the room, Zhou Chengcai asked the Chief of Staff: "Old Chen, what's going on?"

"I have been out of the city for less than four or five hours, why did the deputy county magistrate of Xiyang County appear? Hearing his tone just now, it seemed that he would ask for help from a few traitors?"

"The Eighth Route Army underground party is definitely fine. I believe their character will not use us to arrest traitors to eliminate dissidents. You must find out this matter as soon as possible!"

Chen Zhengyu smiled bitterly. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Xiyang is such a poor county town, and it attracted all parties to spy on it as soon as it was taken down by the National Rescue Army.

I thought about it for a while and introduced it: "Captain, less than an hour after you left the city, the Eighth Route Army underground party came over and provided me with a list of traitors in the city."

"We just took over Xiyang City and are not familiar with the place. If someone familiar with Xiyang comes to cooperate with us, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"In order to prevent traitors from causing trouble in the city, the information about our capture of Xiyang was spread, and the guard company immediately asked the guard company to draw a platoon and arrest people according to the list. A total of fourteen traitors were arrested, either the police chief who worked for the Japanese, the puppet army officer, or the puppet county magistrate controlled by the Japanese, or the deputy county magistrate controlled by the Japanese..."

"After review, none of the people on the list were wronged."

"As a result, he actually arrested Deputy County Magistrate Wang's son. Only after learning about it was learned that during the Japanese occupation of Xiyang, Deputy County Magistrate Wang curled with the Japanese in order to maintain his power and took the initiative to send his eldest son to the Japanese, allowing him to serve as the police chief who rescued the puppet government and work hard for the Japanese."

"I have made people know specifically: Deputy County Mayor Wang's eldest son did a lot of evil while he was the police chief and did a lot of bad things with the Japanese. He not only shot and killed many anti-Japanese righteous men, but also helped the Japanese fight guerrillas, and even scolded the people in order to make money!"

"We have enough evidence to prove that Director Wang is a hard-core supporter of the Japanese devils. A real traitor can kill him easily."

"But Deputy County Magistrate Wang quit. He immediately found me as the former deputy County Magistrate of Xiyang and said that his son was a traitor not because he really wanted to work hard for the Japanese, but deliberately lurked to the Japanese and falsely and to protect the people. He was not only not a traitor, but also an anti-Japanese hero."

"In addition, one thing I heard from his tone: Once the war zone knows that our National Salvation Army has captured the county town, it will definitely appoint him to be the new county magistrate of Xiyang, so that we can give him face so as not to be hurt by the harmony!"

"When the talk was made, I gave me a little yellow croaker. I refused because I could only make a decision on this matter."

Zhou Cheng understood and stared at Chen Zhengyu and asked, "Then do you think the deputy county magistrate Wang is true?"

"Of course it's fake! His son relied on the support of the Japanese during his time as the police chief and did all kinds of bad things. Every ordinary person in the city could see clearly how could he be an anti-Japanese hero? This clearly regarded us as Hu Hai. He wanted to be Zhao Gao: referring to a deer as a horse!"

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly and replied: "That's all. If you want to point out a deer as a horse, then you have to see if he has the strength to be Zhao Gao?"

"But another thing you just said must attract our attention!"

"Why is he so confident in himself that he will be sure that the war zone will appoint him as the new county magistrate of Xiyang County?"

"Did he have someone in the war zone or sent money to it?" Chen Zhengyu thought for a while and asked.

Zhou Cheng nodded: "This possibility is not ruled out."

"But one thing we have to think about is that we must unify our ideas. No matter whether Deputy County Magistrate Wang is in the war zone or he pays for the official position, he cannot be the candidate for the new county magistrate of Xiyang."

"Not only that, I have to decide the candidate for this county magistrate. If it really doesn't work, I will serve as the other party, and then a deputy county magistrate will be appointed to specifically manage Xiyang's government affairs!"

Chen Zhengyu immediately agreed: "There is no doubt that Xiyang, whom we have worked hard to conquer, will definitely not give in. If Xiyang comes to a county magistrate who does not cooperate, Xiyang will probably become a burden to our national rescue army and will drag our national rescue army back. Only by truly controlling it in our own hands and completely obeying our management can Xiyang become the help of our national rescue army!"

Seeing that Chen Zhengyu recognized his ideas so much, Zhou Cheng directly ordered: "Since Xiyang City has become a hot commodity, everyone wants to come up and take a bite, then we must be prepared to protect Xiyang from now on."

"Chief of Staff, now, let's arrange someone to keep an eye on this Deputy County Magistrate Wang to find out why he is so confident in being a county magistrate!"

"In addition, at least one platoon was drawn to interrogate the traitors who had just caught in the guard company, especially the son of Deputy County Magistrate Wang, and he must find the real evidence of being a traitor. At the appropriate time, the Eighth Route Army underground party can help. They are local snakes in Xiyang and must know a lot of things we don't know."

"In addition, Deputy County Magistrate Wang can live so well under the Japanese, and can make the Japanese believe him as soon as they come up and promote his son to be the police chief, which means that Deputy County Magistrate Wang also has interactions with the Japanese."

"When we examine those traitors, we must also find some evidence that Deputy County Magistrate Wang colluded with the enemy."

"If it can be proved that Deputy County Magistrate Wang is really a traitor, even if the war zone appoints him as the next county magistrate of Xiyang, we have the right to refuse, and we can also deal with this big traitor in accordance with the national law!"

The Donghui Town National Rescue Corps Department became busy as soon as it received the transfer order.

Under the command of Tang Yufeng and Deputy Chief of Staff Li Honghui, the soldiers were packing all important documents and materials at the command center.

Yuan Shushan did not come to help, but stayed in his room to study a plan he had just thought of.

He had already "controlled" a main battalion and a reinforcement company in the National Salvation Army. As long as they were allowed to fully develop combat effectiveness, he had the strength to fight against Zhou Cheng's party in the National Salvation Army.

If he encounters any problems in the future, he will have the confidence to fight with Zhou Cheng to the end, rather than like before, because he has no trump card and is alone, he can only say whatever the team leader says.

At this moment, the regiment commander actually led his troops to take down Xiyang City.

The National Rescue Army is behind enemy lines, and almost all the food supplies come from defense areas.

With the addition of Xiyang, the National Salvation Army will be able to support more troops in the future.

If you can control Xiyang and hold the position of Xiyang County Magistrate in your own hands, it will be equivalent to holding the food supply of the National Saving Army in your own hands. At that time, your power in the National Saving Army will definitely be greater, and it will be easier to squeeze Zhou Cheng out of the National Saving Army and completely control the National Saving Army.

With this idea, Yuan Shushan began to plan how to take the position of County Mayor Xiyang into his own hands as soon as he received the news that the regiment commander successfully captured Xiyang.

It is definitely unrealistic to be a county magistrate by himself, so he must find a confidant to be a county magistrate.

But this candidate is too difficult to find. You need to have qualifications, experience, and be loyal to yourself...

Looking at the few confidants I have won over after joining the National Salvation Army, almost no one met these three conditions at the same time.

At this moment, the guard's report suddenly sounded at the door of the room, and then the personal guard pushed the door and walked in: "Deputy Commander, the regiment headquarters has come to call you. He said he is from Xiyang and there is something very important to discuss with you!"

"Bring him here..." Yuan Shushan thought of the order.

Anyway, I couldn't think of any candidate. Someone came to find him from Xiyang and must have planned to defect to him. As soon as I met him, I might have some unexpected gains.

The person who came in was very young, looking less than twenty years old. He looked at Yuan Shushan with a complimentary report: "Hello, sir, I am the second son of Wang Tao, the former deputy county magistrate of Xiyang County. I come to find you at my father's order!"

"Since the Japanese occupied Xiyang, my father has been idle at home. No matter how Japanese tempted him, he has not entered the pseudo-government. Last night, after Xiyang City was revived by the National Salvation Army, my father decided to go out again and contribute to the people of Xiyang, but because there was no way, I asked me to come to Chief Yuan as soon as possible."

"My father said that among all the commanders of the National Salvation Army, you are the most trusted by the war zone. I hope Chief Yuan can help my father speak up. If the war zone can appoint my father as the new county magistrate of Xiyang, our Wang family will definitely be grateful to Deputy Commander Yuan, and from then on, only Chief Yuan will follow his leadership."

"This is my father's gift to Chief Yuan. I hope you accept it with a smile! If things are done, our Wang family will thank you very much and promise not to disappoint the Chief!"

Yuan Shushan immediately said: "If you look for something without searching, you can get it without any effort!"

I was just thinking about the candidate for County Mayor Xiyang, and someone came to me immediately.

To promote the deputy county magistrate before Xiyang to be the county magistrate, Wang Tao is the most suitable candidate regardless of qualifications or experience. By then, no matter how dissatisfied Zhou Cheng was, he would not be able to refuse.

As for loyalty, Yuan Shushan was not worried at all.

With his understanding of Zhou Cheng and Tang Yufeng, they must be disdainful of working with people like Wang Tao.

After Wang Tao became the county magistrate, he would definitely find someone to support him in the National Salvation Army, and he had no choice but to choose others.

He decisively took the two small yellow croakers taken out by the other party and replied confidently: "Tell your father that I will definitely help him take the position of Xiyang County County Magistrate, but from then on, your Wang family can only cooperate with me. Otherwise, I have a way to make your father the county magistrate, and I will definitely have a way to remove the black hat on your father's head!"

Seeing Yuan Shushan take away two small yellow croakers, Wang Tao's second son was a little reluctant at first, but after hearing Yuan Shushan's promise, he immediately felt that these two small yellow croakers were worth it.

Although Xiyang is very poor, no matter how poor it is, there are still 60,000 to 70,000 people.

After my father became the county magistrate, even if he plundered a piece of ocean from 100 people a year, the Wang family could make a profit of six or seven hundred, which was equivalent to seven small yellow croakers. He could earn back the benefits of sending them out in less than a year, and there were still many more.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became. A smile from the bottom of my heart quickly appeared on my face and promised loudly in front of Yuan Shushan.

"Thank you, sir!"

"As long as my father can be the county magistrate, our Wang family will only listen to your orders from now on, Chief Yuan."
