Pizhou Governor Chen Fengshi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander Cao. Although the apportionment will inevitably cause complaints from the people, the prefecture government should be able to gather the remaining 12,000 laborers within three days.
In fact, according to my previous idea, I would send the Ganyang City Guards directly to you to help transport food and fodder.
If the fighting becomes intense, the 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Ganyang City Guard can also serve as reserves for the Ganyang Army's left and right guards."
Cao Tingjin smiled and said, "Master Chen is too modest. Under the training of General Deng, the Ganyang City Guards are now as strong as any other guard in the Ganyang Army.
It's a pity that General Deng is so loyal to Master Chen, otherwise I would really like to recruit him to the Ganyang Army."
The Deng Dutong mentioned by Cao Tingjin was named Deng Jun. He was a fierce general with excellent martial arts skills and strict military discipline.
Deng Jun was originally a general of the Northern Jin State. Later, he was framed by treacherous officials, which led to the destruction of his family and the death of his loved ones. Deng Jun had no choice but to flee the Northern Jin State.
Because Northern Jin and Liang had fought many times, and Deng Jun had killed many Liang officers and soldiers, Deng Jun lived in hiding after fleeing to Liang.
Deng Jun originally planned to live in the Western Regions, but when he arrived in Ganyang City, the Liang State's Western Expedition Army was attacking the Gule State, so Deng Jun stayed in Ganyang City.
One day, Deng Jun stood up for justice in the street and defeated more than a dozen swordsmen with his bare hands. This scene happened to be seen by Chen Fengshi, the governor of Pizhou.
Later, through conversation with Deng Jun, Chen Fengshi discovered that Deng Jun was not only a martial arts expert, but also a rare talent.
So at Chen Fengshi's invitation, Deng Jun not only helped Chen Fengshi to start forming a new wing army guard, but also told Chen Fengshi his own background.
In the end, Chen Fengshi made an exception and promoted Deng Jun to the commander-in-chief of the Ganyang City Guard. Under Deng Jun's training, the Ganyang City Guard became an elite force with considerable combat effectiveness.
Chen Fengshi smiled slightly, "Deng Jun cannot be given to you Ganyang Army. Without Deng Jun, the combat effectiveness of Ganyang City Guards will probably drop by 30% immediately.
I intend to have Deng Jun personally lead the 5,000 troops assigned to your Ganyang Army this time."
