Those who reacted quickly thought that in the Eternal Night Continent, the generals were the heroes of one side, but in the upper continent of the empire, it was not so rare. There were many generals in the Gaomen family.
The noble family? !
Xiao Lingshi still couldn't see the slightest emotion on his face, but he calmly took into account the reactions of everyone in the meeting room. Most of the people sitting here are his cronies, but there are also a few who are more closely related to other generals. Therefore, he will not speak easily.
However, Wen Ruocheng was his mouthpiece, and the two pieces of news he just revealed actually contained enough information to make people think. Right now, the wind direction of the meeting has quietly reversed.
When everyone was discussing, Xiao Lingshi simply closed his eyes and rested his mind. What he was thinking about was a secret conversation with Song Zining not long ago. Xiao Lingshi was very satisfied with Song Zining's ally. Not only did he cooperate happily several times, but he also jumped to second place in the Song Clan's latest heir exam. It can be said that the future is boundless.
However, what Xiao Lingshi valued the most was that Song Zining was extremely low-key outside. He rarely used the name of the Song Clan to get things done. This meant far more to Xiao Lingshi than one or two lucrative business deals. With the cooperation of the two, the traces of him being in harmony with the disciples of the high school can be covered up, and he can continue to maintain the image of not being in harmony with the powerful.
Xiao Lingshi likes to take a long-term view. He can cooperate with someone like Song Zining for many years, and the gains and losses of a moment and a place are not important.
The officers seemed to be talking about the same thing, and the noise in the room dropped significantly. Xiao Lingshi raised his eyelids and looked at a colonel in the corner who had never spoken. It was the other deputy commander of the expeditionary force, General Yang Shuo. He just walked through the family of the Yang family in Xiangfan.
Xiao Lingshi smiled silently in his heart. Song Zining came to him this time to pave the way for the dark fire, and he bluntly presented the name of the Yanyun Zhao family instead of the Gaoling Song family. The military may be able to fight sloppy eyes with the Song Clan, which is based on business, but it may have to "act with justice" when facing the Zhao Clan, who has a family of three.
Many people in this room are Xiao Lingshi's confidants for many years, so they should have understood what he meant.
At this time, a young general with a tough face stood up and spoke, saying: "According to the rules of the expeditionary army, whoever conquers the territory will own it. After General Wei Bainian leaves office, the Seventh Division is equivalent to a thing without an owner. Since Ye can swallow it, it should be given to him. However, getting the title of an independent division is not as easy as saying a word. In addition to taking corresponding responsibilities, you must also pay a sufficient price!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded, even the few big bosses present who had benefited from the Dong family were no exception. When the price is mentioned, the nature of this matter has changed subtly.
"What price?" Someone asked.
The sturdy general glared and said: "Of course it's a crusade! Otherwise, what's the face of our expeditionary army? If that kid can win this battle, it will prove that he has enough strength. It is not an exaggeration to give him a title. As for whether he is independent or not The teacher will discuss it later."
Wen Ruocheng said indifferently: "The question is, who will attack?"
"This... this..." The sturdy general glanced at Xiao Lingshi, speechless and unable to answer.
This was originally a very simple question. The crusade against rebellion and the pacification of dissidents were already within the scope of Xiao Lingshi's authority, so Xiao Lingshi would support this meeting only after the expeditionary army headquarters received the report of the change in Heiliu City. But today I don't know what happened, Xiao Lingshi didn't mean to answer the words from the beginning to the end, which immediately made the sturdy general at a loss.
As a lieutenant general, Xiao Lingshi held the Fourth Army of the Expeditionary Army in his hands, and he was far above everyone present in terms of force and authority. The general was just a major general, since Xiao Lingshi didn't speak, he didn't dare to ask directly.
Since Xiao Lingshi obviously had no intention of sending troops, the generals inevitably had some guesses. Those who are interested will think of the expeditionary force's sudden parachute of a deputy commander-in-chief recently. Although the position and personal rank are the same as Xiao Lingshi's, the rank is general. There is generally only one reason that can cause this difference, family background.
Besides, just now Wen Ruo's poor grades directly stated that Dark Fire also has a family background, so many people felt a sense of enlightenment, and at the same time they had some secret thoughts of watching a good show. If it involves conflicts between several aristocratic families, Xiao Lingshi doesn't want to care about it, and no one can tell what's wrong with him.
In this case, the only option is to use the expeditionary force that is also in Sanhe County. The problem is, although two of the other three divisions had minor conflicts with the Seventh Division during the Wei family's administration, it is still quite difficult to use them to attack Heiliu City.
Siege warfare is inherently difficult to fight, and a crusade of this nature cannot be occupied. If you win, you have to hand it back to Dong Qifeng, and if you lose, it goes without saying. No one would do such a thankless task without enough benefits. The proposed sturdy general had two divisions in his hands, but he himself would never stand out.
There was another long silence in the meeting room.
The embarrassing silence was finally broken by Wen Ruocheng, who seemed confident and said, "Since it was Dong Qifeng's seventh division that was swallowed up by the dark fire, this matter must of course fall on General Dong. In my opinion, let him What do the generals think of going to attack Qianye?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately applauded. A faint smile flashed across Xiao Lingshi's eyes, and then turned into an ancient well.
Soon, Dong Qifeng and Du Yuanze, who were waiting outside the meeting room, knew the decision of the meeting, and their jaws dropped to the floor in shock.
Dong Qifeng is here to take over the Seventh Division, how can he have any troops now, is it possible to rely on the remaining dozens of personal guards to attack Heiliu City? There is no need to use such a stupid way to find death.
Dong Qifeng's face was livid with anger, and his fat body was shaking. But he also knows that this kind of situation cannot happen casually. Wen Ruocheng made it clear one by one, and found out the rules and regulations of the expeditionary army to make notes. A lifelong opponent of the old general.
Dong Qifeng swallowed his breath, and walked out of the meeting room with great difficulty, knowing in his heart that the dozens of beauties who had given away a lot of gold coins were probably in vain.
Those big bosses of the expeditionary army were extremely greedy, and they would never spit out what they swallowed, and he wanted to raise an objection to Xiao Lingshi's decision, and he didn't know how many more gold coins he would throw in, so the difficulty was not the same. Level up.
"General, what should we do now?" Du Yuan asked nonchalantly. He also has a bitter heart and no real job in the army. A lieutenant colonel like him who is not good at combat power is not even a fart. In the Dong family, he is just a seventh-level soldier attached to the past, and at most he can get the treatment of a mid-level manager.
Dong Qifeng's face sank like water, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What should we do? Gather the family's forces and kill that son of a bitch Qianye! If you dare to rob Lao Tzu's Seventh Division, I'll kill all their bastards, leaving no one behind!"
Du Yuanze shrank his neck, but didn't say anything. He witnessed the whole process of Dark Fire attacking the headquarters of the Seventh Division, especially the young regiment leader, who made him feel even more terrifying than a general.
Dong Qifeng wanted to mobilize troops from his own family to attack. The journey was far away and the cost was huge. Even if he could take down Heiliu City, if he only got a piece of ruins, the gain would not be worth the loss. It would be better to find an unowned land and build a city by himself.
But Dong Qifeng was in a fit of anger right now, so it would be good if he wasn't held accountable for his ineffectiveness. Du Yuanze didn't dare to talk too much.
At this time, Qianye was sitting in the office on the top floor of the seventh division headquarters, looking at the map of the entire Sanhe County.
That map was different from the normal version. Not only did it include the 500-kilometer-deep terrain of the dark territory on the other side of the Sanhe County front, but it also marked the distribution of the dark forces in that area in detail. This is the result of Song Hu's hard work for more than half a year.
Qianye thoughtfully drew his fingers on the map, some routes lead to the Dark Territory, and some lead to the hinterland of Sanhe County. He is considering the westward plan, and at the same time he has to guard against cold guns from behind.
Dong Qifeng's side would definitely not let it go, and the divisions bordering the Seventh Division's defense area had mixed up with Wu Zhengnan's matter to varying degrees, and it hasn't been long since.
Putting down the map, Qianye took a stack of documents on the table. Those were all mercenary affairs that he needed to know or give instructions. Now he also needed to add the defense of Heiliu City.
After Dark Fire annexed the Seventh Division, Song Hu was completely overwhelmed by himself, and no matter how fast those excellent bloodline seeds and Ah Qi and Ah Jiu grew, they couldn't keep up with the expansion speed of Dark Fire. There are a few people in the special company sent by Song Zining who can be used, but they are still not enough for the upcoming Dark Fire Independent Division. Qianye felt that he needed several deputy captains.
On the top of the stack of documents were two personal letters. The first one was from Song Zining, and the content was not long.
At the very beginning of the letter, he asked Qianye not to worry, implicitly implying that Song Zining and some big figures in the expeditionary army had always cooperated happily, and this time was no exception. The matter of the serial number can be resolved in a short time. Although there is a price to be paid, it can be called reasonable. When he finishes handling the affairs at hand, he will come to Heiliu City to deal with the following matters together with Qianye.
Qianye was still in a good mood when he saw this, but Song Zining then changed his pen and began to talk about a batch of new products that Yinquan will launch. It is said that the quality is the best so far. Such a good opportunity must not be missed. This time, he planned to take Qianye to watch the scene together.
Song Zining also happily mentioned that Qianye now has Ah Qi, Ah Jiu, and Seventeen in hand, and with a few more, he can form a beauty guard. Such a prospect, how pleasant it is!
Qianye could only smile wryly, making up his mind not to follow Song Zining to the hidden spring no matter what. Song Qigong is good at everything, but he really can't stand the fact that he likes to give women away. If things go on like this, the little money he earns from fighting around may not even be enough to support a woman.
However, Qianye immediately remembered Song Zining's words, that is, the girls from Yinquan do not need to be raised, they are not only beautiful, they can also work! It is completely possible to support oneself, for example, Ah Qi and Ah Jiu are examples.
Perhaps only Song Zining could have such a unique vision.
The signing of the second letter surprised Qianye, it actually came from Wei Potian, he calculated the time, when this letter was sent, it seemed that Wei Bainian hadn't returned to the Far East Province yet.
Sure enough, judging from the letter, Wei Potian didn't know the current situation in Heiliu City. The full text was very short, only half a page, and most of it was about how enjoyable the recent war was.
There is only one sentence at the end, it is said that this Bowang Hou Shizi has encountered some troubles. Not a big deal, but he couldn't handle it himself. Based on the principle that brothers share difficulties, he plans to share some troubles with Qianye.
Seeing this nonsensical words, Qianye suddenly had a bad feeling for some reason.
