The rain stopped and everyone left. Zhou Xian sent them to the door.

Seeing that Li Kai was a little hesitant, Zhou Xian asked the others to leave first. He left Li Kai and Zhou Tai and followed him into the study.

After a while, the servant came in and brought some sobering soup.

Zhou Xian served himself a bowl and let the two of them take pleasure. While drinking, he asked Li Kai and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Kai did not hesitate anymore and put down the bowl and said, "Second Young Master, I don't understand why Wang Jun? He has a strong selfish heart. Among the six battalions, the military disciplines of the two battalions he led are the most corrupt. I can still suppress him when I stay by my side. Wouldn't he be more unscrupulous if he lets him go?"

Zhou Xian put down the bowl, "Who do you think is more suitable?"

Li Kai replied without a moment of hesitation: "Yang Zhen, he is from Liaodong, and has been stationed in Dalinghe, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places, and is the best at understanding the situation in western Liaoning. Moreover, his Yang family has been a military household for generations and knows how to attack the battle formations, which is far better than Wang Jun and others in this regard. Using him, you may achieve greater results."

Zhou Xian nodded without denying it. "What you said makes sense. But have you ever thought about it? One of the soldiers of the two battalions led by Yang Zhen was mostly recruited by the new soldiers, and the first battalion was mainly the Liaodong soldiers who crossed the sea with him. His combat power was not outstanding, and Yang Zhen was a relatively stubborn person. It was great to let him attack the coastal fortress, and he could capture it. But if he was frustrated for a moment, would he choose to evacuate in time or continue to attack? If he faced the enemy head-on, of course he should use it. But in terms of stealing and sudden attack, who in the army can beat Wang Jun?"

Seeing Li Kai frowning, Zhou Xian continued, "What you mentioned about Wang Jun's selfishness is more utilitarian in my opinion. I don't think that's a big mistake. If you keep him by your side, he does not dare to cause trouble, but it also limits his ability. Wang Jun is a cunning fox. If you ask him to go to western Liaoning, the headache of the manhu. Let him go to the fullest! At least he never does losing money."

Li Kai was silent for a moment and nodded gently, "I understand. I will transfer Qian Zanhua to his army, and I will also be able to restrict him at critical moments."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "That's right! Let it play out, but at the same time, it also has restrictions on it. This is the real way to control the underworld. You should learn more about these things. Take out the books on military strategies and strategies I have given you, and don't throw them aside and let them grow ashes."

As he said that, Zhou Xian turned his head to Zhou Tai, who was burping on the square chair, said, "You are too. You have now been promoted to a guerrilla general, and your subordinates are carrying the life and death of more than 3,000 soldiers. You can't just play a piece of axe every day."

Zhou Tai curled his lips and muttered a few words in a low voice, "I know how to talk about me every day." Then he raised his tone and said, "I know, I know, I will study hard and I will give you the top scorer in the future."

Zhou Xian shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.

Li Kai also smiled, "Second Young Master, the young master is much better now, Xie Shangzu praised him in front of me many times."

Zhou Xian said: "Don't praise him, otherwise his tail will rise up again. Xie Qian is too indulging him. This time he will go to Juehua Island with you. You must discipline him well and don't let him cause trouble for me."

Li Kai frowned, "Second Young Master, this is the second thing I want to tell you. Don't let the young master go with you this time."

Zhou Xian looked up at Lee Kai, and did not answer directly, but turned to Zhou Tai and asked, "Xiao Tai, what do you think you are! Go or not, I will listen to you this time."

Zhou Tai looked at Li Kai, then looked at Zhou Xian, curled the corners of his mouth, and laughed: "Didn't my uncle ask me to go to Juehua Island just to be a Dinghai Sword Needle to stabilize the morale of the island? There are more than 20,000 soldiers on the island, and I don't have to charge in the battle, so how can there be any danger? I just eat on the island honestly for three months, and then return to southern Liaoning?"

Zhou Xian smiled and looked at Lee Kai-shek and said, "Look, he is going to go by himself."

Li Kai wanted to say something again, but saw Zhou Xian wave his hand, "This matter is settled. Also, in fact, I have another meaning to let you leave Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen has been fighting with the Manchu Lu for many years and is experienced. Most of the soldiers stationed in Juehua Island may not be disturbed by war for a long time. You should take advantage of this time to strengthen training for them and prepare for the next step of advancing to western Liaoning, especially to let them adapt to the bitter and cold weather in Liaodong as soon as possible. In many aspects, Yang Zhen can help you."

The three of them sighed for a long time, and Li Kai stood up and said goodbye.

Zhou Xian wanted Li Kai to stay overnight, but he said that Liu Yuchi was still waiting for him in the camp. The two of them wanted to discuss some departure matters, so they went back to the camp directly.

Walking back to the yard, Zhou Tai rubbed his temples and said to Zhou Xian: "Uncle, then I'll go to bed first."

Zhou Xian nodded, but when he took more than ten steps, Zhou Xian suddenly called him, "Xiao Tai, I'm sorry for you this time."

Zhou Tai grinned and said, "Uncle, when did you become like this? Didn't you just stay on the island for three or four months? Are you really afraid that the Manhu will attack the island?"

Zhou Xian didn't know how to answer because he did have such concerns in his heart, although the possibility was not high. He didn't say more, waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Zhou Tai stood there and smiled, "Uncle, if you really feel wronged me, give me your white armor! I have been thinking about it for a long time."

Zhou Xian said speechlessly: "What do you want it for? Besides, can you wear a figure like this?"

Zhou Tai said without any mind: "It's a little tighter, but it should be able to wear it. The key is its majesty! Think about it, the white armor passes through the formation and the heads roll on the ground, how majestic!"

Zhou Xian spat softly, "Get out!"

Zhou Tai smiled and turned around and left. He heard his voice from afar. "Uncle, go to bed early!"

Two days later, Li Kai led his army to retreat to Changxing Island, Fuzhou. The Lushun fleet also came from the north and gathered towards Changxing Island. The ships from all over the place were transferred there.

But even so, the number of sea boats is still insufficient.

The entire army was divided into two parts. First, Li Kai led the soldiers of the two battalions and the soldiers of the Shenhuo Camp of a team of thousands of people to go out to sea first. More than ten days later, the ship returned, and the other two battalions set off with Liu Yuchi.

Artillery, gunpowder and other supplies were also dispersed and transported to the island.

Because I had already discovered the maritime situation in the surrounding waters in advance, except for the two sea boats that collided with each other due to high winds and high waves, everything else went very smoothly.

Zhou Tai went to the island with the second group of soldiers. On the day he left, Zhou Xian sent someone to see him and gave him a set of fine iron armor, which suited his figure and was no less sturdy and lightweight than his armor.
