My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

"Second brother!" Zong Yanhongjing was also happy to see Zong Yanhongtu, and the two brothers opened their arms and hugged each other.

"Hahaha!" The two men bumped shoulders with each other, then sat down and talked, "That Nankang is really abominable. It actually borrowed troops from the State of Jin. Let's think about how to settle this account!"

"I feel at ease now that my second brother is around." Zong Yanhongjing said with a sigh.

"Hey! Although you and I are brothers, our identities cannot be confused. You are the commander-in-chief and I obey your orders!" Zong Yanhongtu waved his hand and said to Zong Yanhongjing.

Zong Yanhongjing also smiled and immediately called his generals to come and discuss the matter.

When Zong Yanli, the new official, took office, the miscellaneous general who had only one soldier, Wen Nian, under his command was also called in. He stood at the very end and touched the tip of his nose with a little embarrassment.

Naturally, they couldn't just rely on Jin to fight Nankang, so they had to send people on their own. Currently, they had received news that more than 30,000 coalition forces had gathered in fertile land not far from them. It seemed that a major war was inevitable, but now they had less than 20,000 soldiers on their side, which made them a little anxious.

If there is an advantage, it is that the coalition forces of Nankang and Jin have just been formed, and the army must be still unstable, so there is still the possibility of a war.

The meeting in the tent lasted for most of the night. Almost every general received his task, except Zong Yanli, who was just a bystander.

Zong Yanhongjing sat down again after issuing the military order, and waved to Zong Yanli, saying, "Why don't you come and meet your second uncle?"

"Ali is here too!" Zong Yanhongtu saw Zong Yanli only then and was greatly surprised.

"Second uncle." Zong Yanli walked forward and called out. The armor she was wearing was now a general's armor. Although she was not very tall and strong, she looked quite imposing in the armor.

"Great! It's been such a short time since we last met, and you've already become a leading general!" Zong Yanhongtu patted Zong Yanli on the shoulder with his big hand, his eyes full of love.

"He's just a general of miscellaneous title." Zong Yanli scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Aren't you short of people? Ask your second uncle for some." Zong Yanhongjing, who was sitting there, smiled and unceremoniously ordered Zong Yanli to start fleecing them.

Zong Yanhongtu was generous and asked Zong Yanli how many people he wanted.

But Zong Yanli refused. She thought for a while and said, "Father, Second Uncle, I don't want to recruit people in the army. I want to go to Shouxi County to take a look."

Zong Yanhongjing paused, looked at Zong Yanli with some doubt and said, "You want to go out and recruit soldiers? That means you have to start all over again, which may be much more difficult."

Zong Yanli nodded: "I am not afraid of hardship, I use my troops with all my strength. Since I have such a nickname, I must train a group of ghost soldiers, so as to live up to my name of General Yan Luo!"

Zong Yanhongjing and Zong Yanhongtu burst into laughter when they heard this, thinking that Zong Yanli was just being full of youthful vigor. However, since she wanted to go out to recruit soldiers, there was nothing wrong with it. Zong Yanhongjing thought about it and realized that Shouxi County was the fief of King Xuan after all.

When recruiting soldiers in his territory, we must at least ask his opinion.

He immediately wrote a handwritten letter and asked Zong Yanming to take it to Shouxi County the next day to ask King Xuan for permission to recruit more soldiers.

Zong Yanli agreed to all of them and then went out by himself.

Kuang Xingquan, Meng Qi and others waited for no news from Zong Yanli, so they were so anxious that they came here on their own. At that time, Zong Yanli was washing his feet barefoot, and there was only one tent with a light on in this deserted camp.

"Chief!" Monkie shouted loudly.

"Now you have to call me general!" Huo Wenqi patted him on the shoulder and corrected him.

"Oh, General! General Yan Luo!" Why does this title sound so strange, like a child playing house, Monk thought to himself.

Zong Yanli dried his feet, opened the curtain and walked out: "Why are you here?"

Monkie cried out in a hurry, "The general has already started recruiting soldiers, right? Let's sign up!"

Zong Yanli: “…”

She sighed helplessly and called a few people into the tent to talk. The tent was really simple, not much different from the tent that had been the leader of Zong Yanli's team. Kuang Xingquan felt a little sad when he saw such a poor general.

"You have seen what is happening in my camp. Following me is far less beneficial than staying in the Right Army." Zong Yanli persuaded them earnestly, "It's not that I don't want you, but I hope you will think carefully."

"What is there to worry about! We are brothers in the same tent!" Monkie said excitedly.

"I only need 300 people in this battalion." Zong Yanli continued, "There is no room for promotion, and it is of no benefit to you."

"Monkey, I would rather you stay in the Right Army, work hard to get promoted, and lead troops to help each other in the future, rather than following me blindly."

"I am deeply moved by your courage, but brothers, please don't narrow the path."

“I would rather you and I meet at the top one day than just follow blindly.”

“That’s what brothers are like.”

Zong Yanli's words shocked Kuang Xingquan, Huo Wenqi and others. They looked at Zong Yanli intently. At this moment, their emotions were extremely complicated. Many generals recruited soldiers with the intention of taking away people they were familiar with, so that they could quickly gain a foothold in the army.

They also felt that this was the way it should be. Zong Yanli was brave and resourceful, and it would not be a bad thing for them to follow such a commander.

But now, Zong Yanli is sitting here telling them that this is wrong. She has never lacked followers. What she needs are brothers who gather at the top. These are brothers!

Kuang Xingquan suddenly felt enlightened, and he admired Zong Yanli even more. He understood more clearly that Zong Yanli was truly concerned about their future.

"Then Wen Nian..." Monk struggled a little and looked at Wen Nian with some resentment.

"His situation is special." Zong Yanli smiled helplessly, looking at Monk and the others and said, "Although you and I are not in the same camp, we are both in the army. It is okay to have a small gathering occasionally. Why do you have to ask to follow me?"

"Besides, Captain Wang is a very good general. You will definitely not be in trouble under his command."

Zong Yanli's words silenced the others. After a long while, Kuang Xingquan asked, "If you don't want us to follow you, how are you going to recruit soldiers?"

Zong Yanli smiled and said, "I have my own way."

In the end, Kuang Xingquan and his companions were persuaded to leave by Zong Yanli, and Monk felt very unhappy when he walked out of the tent.

He knew that Zong Yanli was doing this for their own good, but ever since they met Zong Yanli and later fought side by side, they had already accepted Zong Yanli from the bottom of their hearts for a long time, and had imagined countless times that the brothers would join hands to conquer the world.

But don't want to...

Zong Yanli is gone, and that feeling is really unpleasant.

Zong Yanli, whom they had rejected at the beginning, had unexpectedly made them so reluctant to let go. They might never meet such a good team leader again.
