Song Ziyu received Ma Xiaolong in his villa in Zhizhou Central District.
In three years, Ma Xiaolong has grown from a boy next door to an iron-blooded general. Standing 1.78 meters tall in front of Song Ziyu, he was as solid as a wall.
"Brother!"
Ma Xiaolong was drinking tea in the flower hall of the manor. When he saw Song Ziyu approaching, he immediately stood up and waited. This kind of humility and self-denial seemed to be deep in his bones.
The few young generals standing next to Ma Xiaolong looked more excited than in awe, and looked at Song Ziyu from time to time.
"Brother, it's good if you come."
Song Ziyu smiled and said: "If you can arrive smoothly, I will feel more at ease. By the way, who are these?"
Song Ziyu looked at the young generals around Ma Xiaolong and asked curiously.
"Brother, these are the young people I promoted from the new army when I was stationed in Miluo City and quelled the rebellion of the local nobles. Because At that time, you let me make my own decisions about titles and employment, so they haven’t brought it to you yet. This time when I come to fight in the Northern Steel Alliance, I just happened to take it with me.”
Song Ziyu glanced at the crowd and saw the vigor of these young people and the eagerness to try hidden deep in their eyes, so he nodded and said: "They are all useful talents. I can rest assured that you can have these people to help you on this trip." Some."
…
Since Ma Senming's death, Ma Xiaolong and Song Ziyu have been by his side as a biological brother. When we see each other again, it is inevitable to greet him with greetings. When asked about Mr. Ma's grave, Ma Xiaolong couldn't help but say: "That year I was in front of my grandfather's grave. I planted a sweet potato, and when I returned to Longshan after a few years of military campaign, I found that the plant was already as tall as a canopy."
Hearing Ma Xiaolong's words, Song Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Time is really like a wild horse running wild, going in an unknown direction, never to return.
In the past, I just wandered into this place by mistake, but now I can't see the end of the world, and I don't even know where I am today.
After a brief period of confusion, Song Ziyu regained his former composure and began to explain the next combat mission to Ma Xiaolong.
"Did the journey here go smoothly this time? How many people did you bring with you?" Song Ziyu asked.
Ma Xiaolong said: "This time, according to my brother's wishes, I brought all the 30,000 elites stationed in Longshan Old City. In addition, when passing by Tianshui Town, I also recruited a batch of supplies... As for the distance, the battle in Tianshui Town in the early stage It's over. The enemy tried to attack Tianshui Town, but was defeated by the wasteland army commanded by Sister Wan'er. I just took this opportunity to fight all the way to the northeast, and in less than a week, I swallowed three warlords. In the territory, more than 5,000 enemies were captured."
Hearing this, Song Ziyu nodded. After three years of fighting in Miluo, Ma Xiaolong had grown into a senior general in his own right.
"Is there any difficulty?"
Song Ziyu asked.
Before Ma Xiaolong could speak, a young man with a square head and big ears beside him shook his head and said, "Brother, there are no difficulties. I just don't understand the current situation."
"Oh? What opinions do you want to express, young man?"
Song Ziyu looked at the young man with square head and big ears.
Ma Xiaolong quickly introduced: "Brother, this is Fang Jinxian, my vanguard general. He is very brave in battle, but he doesn't have much worldliness..."
Song Ziyu waved his hand and said: "???????????????? I want someone to finish what I have to say, Fang Jinxian, do you have any doubts?"
Fang Jin, who had a square head and big ears, blinked his eyes and said: "Boss, you are my boss's boss, I will treat you as the boss. I am very confused now. We are obviously fighting well, why did you suddenly stop us? Do you want to If you don't let us stop, I can conquer the entire north for you in as little as a month or as much as three to five months, but there is no need to fight now."
Song Ziyu laughed loudly after hearing this: "The reason why I asked you not to fight anymore is because there will be a more cruel war waiting for you next."
"Oh? How cruel?"
When they heard the word cruelty, everyone became interested.
Song Ziyu sighed secretly in his heart. These people obviously regarded the war as a ladder to ascend and did not understand the cruelty of it at all.
"It's cruel, because what you have to face next are non-human opponents."
Song Ziyu said.
"Non-human? Is it a zombie?"
Everyone became even more excited.
"They're not zombies either... Don't have this attitude. I have to warn you first. This war is not trivial. You may die!"
Song Ziyu decided to cool down the temperature of these young people.
However, Ma Xiaolong was the first to express his stance: "Brother, who can survive in a war?"
The young generals on the side actually showed contemptuous expressions.
Song Ziyu sighed and said: "Since your morale is available, I will not attack you. Come, let me tell you in detail about the enemies you will face next and your combat missions."
Everyone pricked up their ears. …
Ma Xiaolong sat on the southbound train, looking at the Quan Xu order in his hand, with an imperceptible mockery on his face.
When they learned that they were leading 30,000 heavily armed elites to rush south for reinforcements, the officers of the Northern Steel Alliance, who were busy mobilizing and deploying, almost widened their eyes in disbelief.
Ma Xiaolong sneered, of course they found it unbelievable!
The 30,000 tiger warriors brought by his subordinates are far superior to the warlords in the north in terms of equipment and strength. Even the Northern Steel Alliance only rations him shoes.
Then he was immediately arranged to board the southbound express, and by the way, he was issued this imperial edict.
"Brother Ma, congratulations, you are also a warlord from now on!"
One of his subordinates said: "You have become the warlord, and my brothers have hope."
However, Ma Xiaolong said calmly: "You know nothing! This thing is just an empty title. It can neither be eaten nor looked at. If I didn't have someone in my hands, Gun, will those guys pay attention to us?"
"Brother Ma is right. This piece of paper is worth the sacrifice of 30,000 of our elites. There is no cheaper deal in the world. If you ask me, Boss Song can't even think of it."
Another think-tank-type subordinate spoke slowly.
"how do I say this?"
Ma Xiaolong asked.
The think tank said: "Whether this battlefield is just or not, or whether it is about the survival of mankind, it actually has little to do with us! If the sky falls, the Federation and the Northern Steel Alliance will be there to support it, so there is no need for our thousands of miles away Rushing for reinforcements? To put it bluntly, although we obey Song Ziyu's orders to fight in the south and the north, but after this bumpy situation, everyone in the tens of thousands of troops will have opinions, right?"
"enough!"
Ma Xiaolong scolded: "You talk too much."
The subordinates were scolded and immediately put away their thoughts.
Ma Xiaolong said coldly: "Brother's mind is not something you can guess. What he does must have his own reasons. Everyone has a different perspective and sees different things. You won't understand."
In fact, when Ma Xiaolong said this, he didn't understand it.
Why did Longshan's army rush thousands of miles to fight in a completely unfamiliar place?
This is simply unreasonable.
But Ma Xiaolong knew one thing, that is, whatever Song Ziyu said, he only needed unconditional trust. Without Song Ziyu, there would be no doubt about himself.
