Lanzhou, the garrison of the Ma Family United Army, "Overseer, what do you mean by that?" Why send troops to Gulang County? Ma Anliang questioned Zhang Guangjian, the overseer of Gansu.

"That's right, Overseer, even if the strength of the Ning Navy is greatly damaged, it is also a member of our Ma Family Army, now is the time to integrate the strength of the entire Ma Family Army and resist the Northeast, how can you do such a thing of fighting in the nest? Overseer, what do you have in mind? Ma Fuxiang's face turned red and said indignantly. Ma Fuxiang didn't want to go to war with the Northeast from the bottom of his heart, but as the commander of the Anning Army, everything in the Anning Army was not something he could say alone. Many times he has to take into account the opinions of his generals. Although the Anning Army is now his Ma Fuxiang's team, many of them were his eldest brother Ma Fulu's team, although Ma Fulu was killed in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, but his patriotic actions greatly enhanced the prestige of Ma Jiajun. It can be said that he Ma Fuxiang was able to maintain such a high prestige in the Ganning region, and the legacy of the eldest brother Ma Fulu occupied a large part. In addition, the eldest brother's son Ma Hongbin has grown up, and he is the military attache of President Li Da, and when he has enough qualifications, he will be released to serve as a high-ranking official, and I am afraid that some of the Anning Army will follow him at that time. If one does not respond well, it may even lead to the division of the entire Anning Army. The experience of the Western Army made Ma Fuxiang have to worry.

Of course, the premise of all this is that this time the Ma Family Combined Army can repel the attack in the northeast and successfully keep its own territory. If the Northeast occupies the Ganning region, all the Ma Jiajun will either be destroyed or will be co-opted. There is no need to think about the future.

In the case of the Northeast Army, Zhang Guangjian actually ordered his Gansu New Army to march eastward, wanting to occupy Gulang County. This is the foundation of wanting to completely destroy the Ning Navy. Of course, Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang couldn't agree. After all, the Ning Navy has a great influence in the Ma Family Army system, and if at this time, the people within him eliminate him, I am afraid that it will make other forces fearful, and if it is used by the enemy, it may even disintegrate the Ma Family United Army.

"Two! I think you're mistaken. The Governor's eastward march to Gulang was entirely to fend off an attack from the Northeast, and the county seat of Gulang was at the forefront of the confrontation between the Ganning region and the Northeast. Elite troops must be sent to defend it, and the remnants of the Ma Qi brothers will be defeated and retreat to Gulang, and they will be the opponents of the Northeast with the defeat of the remnants. That's why I will send the elite of the new army to the east to take over the Ning Navy to guard Gulang County. Zhang Guangjian seemed to know about the arrival of Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang, so he was not worried at all.

"Overseer, Gulang is the only two remaining county towns of the Ning Navy, and the Ma Qi brothers have stationed their headquarters in Gulang, how can they give up Gulang County. Could it be that the Ma Qi brothers won't let it, and the Overseers will have to start a war with the Ning Navy first? Ma Anliang's expression was gloomy, and now he regretted letting Zhang Guangjian serve as the commander of the Ma family's coalition army. This old bastard clearly wants to take the public and private with him. Clearly said that he wanted to resist the Northeast Security Army, but secretly he wanted to annex the Ning Navy. Who can't see that. But Ning Haijun can let anyone annex them, but they can't let Zhang Guangjian's new army annex it, because this will make the head of the entire Ma Family United Army surnamed Ma feel cold. Now that a major war is imminent, the most taboo thing is internal instability.

"General An Liang, General Fuxiang, do you think the Ning Navy can hold Gulang County? Or did your Western Army and Anning Army send elites to defend Gulang? Our Ganning region, how many counties are there in Cicai, and now they have been occupied by three, Gulang and Yongchang are also in the situation that the Northeast can be eaten at any time, can we watch Gulang and Yongchang also be annexed by the Northeast? Zhang Guangjian pressed down in the name of righteousness, so that Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang didn't know what to say.

"Of course, for the sake of the harmony of the Ma family's army, this overseer is not unable to make concessions. Although there are only remnants of the Ning Navy left, there are still 3,000 people left, and it is no problem to defend Yongchang County. As for Gulang County, if the two generals can't send elite soldiers to defend, then hand over the defense of Gulang to our new army! Zhang Guangjian said magnanimously. Hearing that troops were sent to Gulang County, Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang were silent. Who doesn't know that the next big battle between Ma Jiajun and the Northeast is likely to unfold in Gulang, as the forefront of the war, Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang don't want their elites to die. But watching the Gansu New Army take Gulang, Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang were even more uneasy, after all, although they were split because of Zhang Guangjian's methods, but after all, they were all surnamed Ma, and they had an instinctive hostility towards Zhang Guangjian's Gansu New Army, which was also the reason why Zhang Guangjian had been operating in the Ganning area for many years and could only control the vicinity of Lanzhou.

"But General An Liang, you and Brother Ma Qi have a deep feeling, this time the new army stationed in Gulang County is a matter of the general. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it is hoped that the two Ma Qi brothers can evacuate Gulang County within two days. Of course, some unnecessary things should not be removed. Zhang Guangjian said jokingly. Looking at Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang's ugly faces, Zhang Guangjian felt very happy, he had been in the Ganning area for so long, and today was the coolest day.

Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang walked out of the Overseer's Mansion. couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. Originally, he wanted to tie Zhang Guangjian's Gansu New Army to Ma Jiajun's chariot, and let Ma Jiajun occupy an orthodox position in the Ganning region first. But I didn't expect that this method, which I thought was a wonderful move at the time, turned out to be like lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot. But now the situation is stronger than people, Gulang County is indeed dangerous, and they are not willing to garrison the elite in their hands. Dead friends do not die poor. In order to maintain the unity of the Ma family's army, the Ning Navy had to sacrifice it.

"Fuxiang, do you think Ma Qi will give up Gulang County?" Ma Anliang said with a bitter face. To be honest, he knows Ma Qi's character better than Ma Fuxiang, but it is this understanding that makes Ma Anliang's heart full of worries. There is no doubt that Ma Qi is a strong person, even if he falls into Pingyang now, he will not tolerate being bullied by Zhang Guangjian, an eagle dog.

"Alas! Who knows! What we should do first is to appease the other Ma Jiajun forces, and we must not let the matter of Ning Haijun reappear in other people. Otherwise, our Ma Jiajun will become a laughing stock for bullying. Although Ma Fuxiang is not angry in his heart, there is no good way at present, the Western Army is rotten, although there are many people, but there are not many elites. The Anning Military Defense Area is in the place where it is handed over to Mongolia, and it is impossible to send elites to defend Gulang County. I am afraid that Zhang Guangjian also saw this opportunity, so he will take action to occupy Gulang County.

Ma Anliang smiled bitterly. The mind is full of worries about the future of Ma Jiajun, internal discord, and the lack of a strong leader. No matter how elite the soldiers of the Ma family army are, it is difficult to become a big weapon.

"Northeast, Northeast! It seems that it is time to plan for it. The Ganning region can fall, but our Ma family has to pass it on. A gleam flashed in Ma Anliang's eyes.

"Let's go! Go to the Warriors! Sitting in his car, Ma Anliang spit out a place that he hadn't been to for decades.

In the Zhan family compound, Zhan Fengxia sat opposite a middle-aged woman who looked eight points similar to her.

"Mother, I have reached a consensus with Li Jun, Chief of Staff in the Northeast, that our Zhan family is attached to the Northeast, and all the land and property under our name will be dedicated to the Northeast Security Army. And Chief of Staff Li Jun has agreed to accept the Zhan Jia. Miss Zhan said indifferently. It seems that this matter is not related to the fate of the Zhan family. It's just that when Li Jun's name is mentioned, there will be a different color in his eyes.

"Ahh Xia'er, I've wronged you! Looking at his breezy daughter, the head of the Zhan family couldn't help but feel heartache in his heart, and at the same time hated that ruthless person even more in his heart. It was he who brought their mother and daughter to the current situation.

"It's not about any grievances, no grievances. It's all for the sake of the warriors. Mother, those old guys still have little moves? They still haven't given up? Seeing her mother's somewhat sad appearance, Zhan Fengxia couldn't help frowning. She didn't like the oppressive life of the war family, and she didn't like to see her mother frowning.

"How can you die! However, during this time, the Ning Navy was defeated by the Northeast, and the Western Army became the largest military force in the Ganning region, and those old guys also settled down a lot. However, I have been informed that they have secretly cultivated the male children of the War Family. Xia'er, I'm afraid that the identity of your heir to the head of the family is difficult to guarantee. A touch of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Zhan Family Master. Meeting that man by himself is the nightmare of his life. Won't the daughter be able to escape this fate?

"With an heir? I've been thinking about this for a long time. Mother, I've had enough of this warrior family a long time ago, if it's possible, let's leave here and go to the Northeast. With the ability of our daughter, our mother and daughter can always live well. Zhan Fengxia looked at her mother with some expectation.

There was a hint of intent in the eyes of the master of the Zhan family, but in the end, he shook his head painfully and said, "Xia'er, it is impossible to jump out of the shackles of the Zhan family for the rest of your life. But you're still young. It's time for this event. If you go to the Northeast, you will defect to the Chief of Staff Li Jun. The Zhan Family Master's eyes flashed with wisdom.

Why couldn't Miss Zhan hear the meaning of her mother's words, and the light breeze on her body couldn't be maintained anymore. Pretty said with a slightly red face: "Mother, what do you mean by this!" ”

"Silly boy, my mother is a person from the past, and I can't see anything. I just hope you don't meet people like a mother! The head of the Zhan family looked at his daughter, who appeared in the form of a little daughter, and his eyes were full of love.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense, he is the chief of staff of the Northeast Security Army, one of the two heroes of the Northeast, how can such a big man look down on his daughter. The reason why my daughter went to the Northeast was because there was no oppression there. We can support ourselves. Don't be bound by this warrior. The more Zhan Fengxia spoke, the more unconfident she became. Especially in the face of her mother's smiling eyes, her pretty face was even more touching.
