Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

After saying that, Lu Yang kicked his horse's belly and rode away with Xiao Wu, leaving behind a group of stunned soldiers.

Xiao Wu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Chu Zuo, you are so amazing! I even pulled out the flower mechanism."

Lu Yang also laughed: "It's no big deal. But if you pull it out, you have to be brave enough to shoot. Don't let them get away with it."

The two of them galloped all the way and finally arrived at Wang Wen's headquarters.

Lu Yang straightened his clothes and strode in.

"General Lu!" Wang Wen saw Lu Yang and immediately stood up to greet him. "Why are you here?"

Lu Yang bowed and said, "President Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. I have an idea and would like to ask for your advice."

Wang Wen quickly waved his hand: "General Lu, you are too polite. Please sit down, please sit down."

After the two sat down, Lu Yang got straight to the point: "Dean Wang, I want to form a Jiangnan Independent Division to incorporate various nearby forces. What do you think?"

Wang Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had always lacked reliable military support, and Lu Yang's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

"Great! Excellent!" Wang Wen said excitedly. "General Lu, this is a brilliant idea. I'll write you a letter of appointment right away."

Lu Yang was secretly delighted, but remained calm. "Then I'll have to trouble Dean Wang. By the way, I'd also like to recommend someone to be the mayor of Jing County."

Wang Wen nodded: "What candidates does General Lu have?"

"Zhou Qing," Lu Yang said, "He's an old subordinate of mine, and he's very capable."

Wang Wen thought about it and felt that since it was someone recommended by Lu Yang, there shouldn't be any problems, so he readily agreed.

Soon, Wang Wen finished writing the appointment letter. Lu Yang took it and felt relieved.

"President Wang," Lu Yang stood up and said solemnly, "I will definitely live up to your expectations and serve our country."

Wang Wen patted Lu Yang on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you, General Lu. Go ahead and do your best. I will report your appointment to the Ministry of National Defense for record."

With the recognition of the Ministry of National Defense, Lu Yang became a regular soldier.

Lu Yang said goodbye to Wang Wen and rode back to Taohuawu. Along the way, he had already started to think about his next plan.

After returning to Taohuawu, Lu Yang immediately called everyone to a meeting.

He took out the appointment letter and everyone was excited.

"Great!" Zhou Qing said excitedly, "With this identity, we can act with justification."

Xiao Ling also nodded in agreement: "Yes, now that we have legal status, many things will be much easier."

Lu Yang looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "But everyone should remember that this is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go and many difficulties to overcome."

Qinglan sat aside, listening silently. She looked at Lu Yang's confident look, feeling both proud and worried.

"Lu Yang," Qing Lan said softly, "you have to be careful."

Lu Yang turned to look at Qing Lan, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will."

As night fell, Taohuawu was once again brightly lit. Everyone sat together, discussing future plans.

The air is filled with excitement and anticipation.

The next morning, Lu Yang set out with Xiao Wu and a few of his closest associates. They rode their powerful horses westward along the rugged mountain road, their target being the Black Tiger Stronghold, the nearest local armed force to Taohuawu.

Lu Yang was wearing a brand new military uniform with a letter of commission signed by Wang Wen personally pinned to his waist. He exuded an irresistible majesty.

The mountain path was rugged, and the crisp sound of horse hooves on gravel echoed through the silent valley. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, and the occasional bird song could be heard.

"Director, the leader of the Black Tiger Camp is called 'Black Whirlwind', and he is said to be a ruthless character." Xiao Wu followed behind Lu Yang and said in a low voice.

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. The mountains in the distance undulated like a sleeping dragon. He knew that incorporating these local armed forces would not be smooth sailing.

"Black Whirlwind? Interesting." Lu Yang's mouth curled up slightly. He likes challenges.

The Black Tiger Village was located on a steep mountain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The gate was built of thick logs, covered with knife marks and arrow holes, exuding a solemn and murderous aura.

When Lu Yang and his group arrived at the village gate, a man with a ferocious face came out, holding a large knife and staring at Lu Yang fiercely.

"Who is coming?" the man asked in a muffled voice.

Lu Yang dismounted, took out his letter of appointment from his bosom, and handed it to the man: "I am Lu Yang, the commander of the Jiangnan Independent Division of the National Army. I have been ordered to recruit you."

The man took the letter of appointment, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, then threw it on the ground with disdain and laughed: "Just you? You think you can recruit our Black Tiger Village? Are you tired of living?"

Lu Yang was not angry, but just smiled faintly: "A man who knows the current situation is a hero. I advise you to think it over carefully."

The man spit on the ground and said, "When I was hanging around here, you were still a kid! You know what's happening? I only know how to use my fists!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang dodged sideways, then kicked the man on the wrist, and the big knife fell to the ground.

Before the man could react, Lu Yang punched him in the stomach again, and the man immediately bent over in pain.

Lu Yang did not intend to kill him, he just wanted to teach this Black Whirlwind a lesson.

"How about it? Have you thought it through now?" Lu Yang asked.

The man held his stomach, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Just wait for me, kid!" the man said through gritted teeth, "My brothers from the Black Tiger Village won't let you go!"

Lu Yang shrugged, turned around and said to Xiao Wu, "Let's go back."

Xiao Wu nodded and followed Lu Yang out of the Black Tiger Village.

After returning to Taohuawu, Lu Yang told everyone about the incorporation of the Black Tiger Village.

"It seems that the Black Tiger Village is not easy to deal with." Xiao Ling said, "We have to think of a way."

Zhou Qing also nodded in agreement: "Yes, a frontal attack will definitely not work, we have to outsmart them."

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "I have an idea."

He told everyone his plan and everyone thought it was feasible.

The next morning, Lu Yang set out again with Xiao Wu and a few close associates.

This time they did not go directly to the Black Tiger Village, but came to a nearby town.

This small town is the sphere of influence of the Black Tiger Village, and the people in the town are very afraid of the people from the Black Tiger Village.

Lu Yang and his group arrived in the town and found an inn to stay in.

In the evening, Lu Yang quietly left the inn and came to a casino in the town.

This casino is owned by the Black Tiger Village and is packed every night.

Lu Yang changed into ordinary clothes and sneaked into the casino.

He came to the gambling table and started placing bets.

Lu Yang was lucky and soon won a lot of money.

When the other people in the casino saw that Lu Yang had won so much money, they all gathered around him.

Lu Yang took the opportunity to chat with them and inquire about the situation in Black Tiger Village.

From them, Lu Yang learned that the people in the Black Tiger Village usually committed many evil deeds and oppressed the people. The people in the town hated them to the core.

Lu Yang had an idea in his mind.

He decided to use the hatred of the townspeople towards the Black Tiger Village to deal with it.

The next morning, Lu Yang posted a notice in the town.

The notice read:

"Lu Yang, the commander of the Jiangnan Independent Division, has been ordered to take over the Black Tiger Camp and eliminate this threat to the people!

Anyone who provides evidence of the Black Tiger Village’s crimes will be rewarded!

Anyone who helps the Independent Division attack the Black Tiger Village can join the Independent Division!

Anyone who resists the Independent Division will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as this notice was posted, it immediately caused a sensation among the residents of the town.

They all ran to the notice and read its contents carefully.

"Great! The Independent Division has finally come to avenge us!"

"We must help the Independent Division and destroy the Black Tiger Village!"

The residents of the town were talking about it and were full of expectations for the independent division.

Lu Yang's plan was successful, and he successfully aroused the hatred of the town residents towards the Black Tiger Village.

Next, he just needs to wait for the right time to launch the attack.
